Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 38: Effect

    Yan Yue was driven by Lu Lingxi to take a bath, and Da Hei was also driven into the bathroom together.

    As a stray dog, Da Hei never had the concept of bathing before. At most, it is very hot, so find a pond or a puddle for a dog. But since he broke away from the status of a stray dog, Da Hei was forced to develop the habit of taking a bath. Fortunately, Lu Lingxi knew from Brother Dong that dogs can't take a bath every day, because it is not good for the skin and it is easy to get sick. But it was raining in the dark today, and there was no way to escape.

    In the bathroom, Yan Yue and Da Hei looked at each other for a long time, but Yan Yue didn't speak, a struggle flashed in Da Hei's eyes, he hesitated and walked over, consciously squatting under the shower.

    Outside the bathroom, without Yan Yue by his side, Lu Lingxi drew out the white panel again, and his eyes fell on the unfamiliar prompt below.

    The planting land has been polluted, is it necessary to consume a little power of nature to purify it?

    This sentence is not difficult to understand. The planting land should be the small courtyard in the back, but what he does not understand is how can the small courtyard be polluted? How was it contaminated? This question made him a little puzzled. Lu Lingxi didn't choose to purify immediately, but first took the mobile phone and checked the Internet to find out what land pollution is.

    He originally had the attitude of giving it a try, but he did not expect that as soon as he entered the word land pollution, countless reports and a lot of shocking pictures appeared. In layman's terms, land pollution means that toxic and harmful substances produced by human activities enter the soil and accumulate to a certain extent, exceeding the soil's instinctive purification ability, resulting in changes in soil properties and quality. Similar pollution sources include industrial pollution, transportation pollution, and domestic pollution. The consequences of this kind of pollution are very serious, not only will it lead to deterioration of soil properties, but more importantly, the organisms in the soil will directly absorb toxic substances from the soil. These toxic substances will eventually enter the human body through the food chain, thus endangering human health.

    Fengcheng, as one of the important heavy industrial cities in the country, does not know how much waste residue, waste water and waste gas are discharged every day. These pollutants either settle in the ground, seep into the water source, or float in the air, eroding the natural environment of Fengcheng little by little, and polluting the underground soil of Fengcheng. Now that there is a heavy rain, all the toxic gases in the air are brought into the ground and infiltrated into the soil. Finally, it is the last straw that crushes the camel, which exceeds the soil's instinctive self-purification ability.

    Lu Lingxi put down the phone and looked at the white panel again, and chose purification without hesitation.

    The rain was still falling outside, the sky was getting darker and darker, and Lu Lingxi could not see any change in the purified soil. It's just that he couldn't help thinking that the soil in the small courtyard could be purified by the power of nature, but what about other places? Is it only as shown in the picture, the accumulation of time exceeds the self-purification ability of the land itself, and eventually it becomes shocking?

    He was fascinated, "Wang" Dahei came out of the shower and cried out in grievance.

    Lu Lingxi looked back and saw Da Hei squatting at the door of the bathroom. Yan Yue was naked and wearing the big floral pants he found, and walked out while wiping his hair. This image of Yan Yue was so subversive that Lu Lingxi couldn't help laughing.

    Yan Yue raised his eyebrows: "It's funny?"

    He also thought it was a little funny to see in the mirror, but his clothes were really too wet to wear, and there was nothing he could do.

    Lu Lingxi held back a smile and didn't dare to admit it. It wasn't funny, but it didn't match the feeling of Yan Yue. However, Lu Lingxi felt that Yan Yue seemed more down-to-earth. Yesterday, Yan Yue came to dinner in a suit and tie. Although Wang Shuxiu didn't say anything, Lu Lingxi faintly sensed some kind of violation. He used to be accustomed to being surrounded by elites like Yan Yue in the Lu family, and he didn't think much of it when he was alone with Yan Yue. But once Yan Yue entered his current living environment, it immediately showed some kind of incompatibility. But now it's alright, Lu Lingxi's eyes turned around on Yan Yue's floral pants, feeling more harmonious.

    His eyes were clean, but he simply landed on the flower pants, but Yan Yue's stomach was warmed by his sight, and he turned his body calmly.

    After taking a shower, the two began to face the problem of cooking. Lu Lingxi can't cook at all, and Yan Yue is also so-so. Fortunately, there was tomato sauce that Wang Shuxiu had boiled before in the refrigerator. Yan Yue found another bag of dried noodles and asked Lu Lingxi, "Do you want to eat noodles?"

    Lu Lingxi rubbed her stomach and nodded.

    Yan Yue saw that he was hungry, and felt a little distressed. He took the water and turned on the fire and turned it to the maximum, "It will be soon."

    When he spoke, he kept staring at the pot in front of him. From Lu Lingxi, only the profile of Yan Yue could be seen. Lu Lingxi hummed obediently, and leaned against the kitchen door to watch Yan Yue cook the noodles. It was raining and windy outside, and the kitchen window was banging. There were raindrops on the glass, and the paste was white. The lamp hanging on the roof was quietly lit, and some dim yellow halo hit Yue's side face, which made his whole person feel gentle.

    The water in the pot boiled very fast, and after the face went down, a white mist spread out. Yan Yue's expression was a little blurry in the fog, as if he had sensed Lu Lingxi's gaze, he turned his head towards Lu Lingxi and hooked the corner of his mouth slightly. This smile was clearly reflected in Lu Lingxi's eyes. He just felt that his heart stopped for a while. This feeling was a bit strange, Lu Lingxi looked away awkwardly and waved at Da Hei, who immediately ran over.

    Yan Yue: "…"

    The dinner for two people and one dog is tomato bolognese noodles. I have to say that Wang Shuxiu's boiled tomato sauce is really delicious. Simply mix it with the noodles, and the taste is enough to match the so-called soup noodles that Yan Yue ate at Yin's house for a day.

    After eating, Lu Lingxi gave up his bedroom to Yan Yue, and he took Da Hei to sleep in the master bedroom. His bed was a little small, and he could barely fit in one with Da Hei, but if Da Hei was replaced by Yan Yue, it would be a little crowded. No matter how Yan Yue was a guest, Lu Lingxi was embarrassed to squeeze together with Yan Yue, and consciously gave up the bed very considerately and hospitable.

    "Brother Yan, you should rest early." Lu Lingxi found a book and took it out of the room, and said to Yan Yue before leaving.

    Yan Yue gave him a deep look, and reluctantly accepted Lu Lingxi's kindness. Although he didn't have the chance to sleep with the teenager, the smell of teenagers in this room, Yan Yue, persuaded himself that he felt less depressed about Da Hei being able to sleep with the teenager in the same bed.

    Lu Lingxi went back to the next door, found a cushion and spread it on the ground, and seriously said to the big black: "I'm going to sleep on the cushion tonight, you know?"

    It doesn't matter when Da Hei is with him, but if Wang Shuxiu finds out that Da Hei is in bed, he will probably be told. Da Hei whimpered a little aggrievedly, and lay down on the mat obediently.

    Lu Lingxi opened the book and read it, unconsciously thinking of the situation in the backyard. His thoughts just flashed, and the white panel surfaced, and the situation in the backyard appeared on it.

    Lu Lingxi was a little surprised, he didn't radiate the mental scan, and the current range of the mental scan is only three meters, it is reasonable to say that it can't reach here. He thought about it and took a few steps back towards the house, making sure that the distance from the backyard was three meters away. The white rice noodles were still floating, and the whole backyard was clearly visible.

    Lu Lingxi was really surprised this time. This is the first time he has encountered this situation. He carefully stretched out his hand and clicked on the displayed soil surface, and a very special connection rose from the bottom of his heart. This feeling is indescribable, it seems that because of the force of nature, he has established some kind of connection with the land in the backyard. This connection is beyond the three-meter range of the mental scan, and whenever he wants to, the backyard will appear on the white panel.

    The first thing that Lu Lingxi thought of was that he could know the growth of tomatoes in the backyard at any time in micro gardening in the future. But then he laughed. This connection looks very mysterious, but it is not very useful to think about it this way, that is, it saves trouble. However, every time the panel developed a new function, it was enough to make him happy. Lu Lingxi simply put down the book and started researching the panel.

    It rained all night outside until dawn broke. Lu Lingxi didn't sleep well at night, always worried about the tomatoes and the small sapling in the backyard.

    After five o'clock, Lu Lingxi woke up. He got up together, and Da Hei immediately opened his eyes and got up. Lu Lingxi made a "shush" gesture towards Da Hei. Yan Yue was still sleeping next door, and the soundproofing of the old house was not good. They had to be quiet so as not to wake Yan Yue. Da Hei squatted quietly in front of Lu Lingxi, Lu Lingxi put on his clothes, and patted Da Hei's head in admiration.

    One person and one dog walked out the door lightly. Lu Lingxi was anxious to see the situation in the backyard.

    The night passed, and the tomato seedlings that were hit by the heavy rain last night actually bloomed again. Countless yellow flowers swayed in the wind against the backdrop of green leaves. A swarm of bees flying from nowhere was hovering in it, looking very busy. Even the willow sapling that the gardeners had determined to be dead yesterday sprouted new shoots. Although it was small, the branches were covered with bright green leaves and a few chirping sparrows were parked on it. When he saw Lu Lingxi, he was not afraid at all.

      Lu Lingxi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling relaxed and happy for a moment.

    Is this the effect of soil purification? Or is this what nature is supposed to be like?

    Yan Yue was woken up in the morning by the sound of birds chirping outside. After a good night's sleep, the youth's breath surrounded him, and he overslept for the first time. After getting dressed, Yan Yue followed the sound and walked to the balcony, just like Lu Lingxi's reaction at the beginning, she was completely stunned there.

      The two piles of bright red tomatoes piled under the balcony could not tell that it was hit by a heavy rain last night. The only shadow of the heavy rain last night was probably the soaked black mud on the ground.

    Yan Yue found Lu Lingxi's figure, the boy was squatting on the ground and weeding seriously. Behind him, Da Hei was leaning on the wall and jumping up and down trying to climb up. A few sparrows on the top of the wall were chirping and seemed to be laughing at Da Hei.

    The air in the courtyard was fresher than ever before, Yan Yue took a breath in intoxication and walked towards Lu Lingxi.
