Chapter 117
Jinxi's body recovered quickly, and the new skin that grew after the old skin fell off began to feel uncomfortable for a few days, like a newborn, afraid of being touched and rubbed, and it will be fine after a few days.
At first, Jiang Chen was cautious, treating him like a porcelain man, but he soon discovered that although his skin was prone to redness and marks, his recovery ability was very good, and it was so tough that a knife could not scratch it easily. , thanks to his skin looking so tender, it's probably because the cells on the skin that were injured during evolution contained the most evolution agents.
When Jin Xi recovered, he was left at home by his grandparents to recuperate, and when he was able to go out, he was a little fleshy.
Jiang Chen saw that Jinxi was well and went out again. During these days, people in Yecheng went into the mountains to dig water melons with leaf stalks. The rhizome plants contained a lot of juice, and some were lucky enough to dig a big one. There can be a catty of juice in it, and it was later called water melon.
Jiang Chen led the team out for two days and came back with a brown bear. Although they often hunted, there were more and more wild animals. Originally, it was more than ten miles away from the forest to them, and there were some forests in between. The other places are all fields, but the plants have expanded so much that these fields are no longer recognizable, and the place next to the forest is already a jungle.Gradually, beasts appeared around Yecheng.
They were also afraid that Yecheng would be surrounded by forests, so they divided a range two years ago, using the old avenues and rivers to divide it. The arbor and mahogany trees were cut down to prevent them from growing too wide. In the end, this place became a pasture. The Qixing Lake was made within this range. Jinxi and the others had some hopes that Yecheng would grow and develop. Grasslands can also be recultivated into fertile fields.
Thanks to this, there are not many large wild animals outside Yecheng, but it is not uncommon to encounter brown bears and tigers in the forest.
Jiang Chen took eight people with him when he went out this time. After he came back, he distributed small prey with everyone. He only wanted a bear paw for the big brown bear. This is the new extension, which was originally a field.
As soon as the car was pushed out, there were many people around. Now Yecheng people are not as short of food as before. They have some points on their bodies. From time to time, they exchange some meat and make some tooth sacrifices. Often there will be a group of prey when they leave the city later. people around.
"Why did you come out? It's quite cold today." Jiang Chen held the prey in one hand, and tightened Jinxi's fur scarf with the other hand.
"It's not cold, I'm more frost-resistant now. Today's harvest is good." Jin Xi said with a smile.
"Well, I also shot a fox with silver fur. Now the fox is quite big. When the skin is finished, I will make you a waistcoat."
"I don't need it, the old ones in the box can't be worn out. You said to make a big fur hat, which is not right."
Jiang Chen said, "Don't we still have some leathers, find one, it's a pity to make a hat." His own hat was accidentally torn by him, and his second aunt took it apart and made it for Jinxi's little nephew Little quilt.
"Let's talk about it at that time. The second aunt and sister-in-law are very busy, and I'm afraid they won't be able to spare."
"It's not in a hurry."
The two entered the house while talking, Jin Xi and Jiang Chen changed clothes to get rid of the cold, Jiang Chen went to pack the prey, Jin Xi went to the east room, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his little nephew lying on the kang with his head up Staring wide-eyed and looking out.Seeing the two of them enter the room, he grinned and crawled over with a few kicks on his calves.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, will I be able to crawl?" Jinxi felt surprised, and hurried forward to hug her, the limp and chubby tiger-headed tiger made a fuss.
"Children are different every day, and they change a lot." The old lady smiled from ear to ear. Now the whole family is well and living happily.
"Well, Dongdong has gained a lot of weight. Now we can eat complementary food."
"Eat it early, and now he can eat a lot. The water melon your brother dug out from the forest is so big that he can drink half of it by himself." Grandma said and gestured, it was as big as a small ball.
"It's really a worry-free." Jinxi sat on the Kang and teased his little nephew.
The old lady looked at her grandson and great-grandson, and smiled, "You and Jiang Chen have been together for such a long time, what are your plans?" She also held back for a long time. Thinking that Jinxi has not stopped in the past two years, and she doesn't expect her grandson to be more capable, she just wants her child to be safe and secure, thinking that if she has a child, she will be better.
Jinxi smiled, "We're still young, so we're not in a hurry, isn't there Dongdong at home now, grandma isn't busy enough."
The old lady sighed, "Dongdong is your nephew, but he has parents. It turns out that your father and I wanted to let Dabao and his daughter-in-law have another child, and they will be adopted under your name in the future. If you raise him, it is considered a good thing." In the future, I will have someone to take care of me when I get old. But now that I think about it, it’s a bit inappropriate, our family lives together, and I’m afraid that the children will not be able to distinguish their identities in the future.” The old lady sighed. "Your master means that the two of you can go to the clan or outside to adopt one from childhood to adulthood, and you can be considerate."
Jin Xi frowned. He really didn't think about it in the long run. In fact, they were a big family. Before, they had Hu Zi Sheng Nan and the others by their side, and now they have Dong Dong at home. He regards these children as his own, although Sheng Nan and the others were a little older and joined the village's juvenile hunting team. They were busy with training on weekdays, but they treated him and Jiang Chen as well as before, and he was not worried that these children would be divorced from him.
As for getting old in the future, although I don't know how long they can live together as a big family, grandma won't be separated when they are here. In the future, when he and Jiang Chen get old, they won't have no way to live. With their physical fitness , there is no need for anyone to take care of it, and besides, the children are there too.
It's just that what grandma said today is a bit strange.Jinxi thought for a while and glanced at the child in his arms, and said with a smile, "Jiang Chen and I have thought about it too, but we are busy now, so there is no time to adopt. And you also know the identities of Jiang Chen and me, I’m afraid that when we talk about adoption, we’ll call up all kinds of things.”
The old lady smiled, "Okay, you just have to know it in your heart."
Changed the topic quickly, after a while Jinxi coaxed Dongdong to sleep, just put him on the bed, Ye Zi lifted the curtain and entered the room, saw Jinxi smiled, and looked at Dongdong, "I'm going to sleep now. I'll take the baby back to my room." As he spoke, he quickly wrapped the child on the mattress on the kang, carried him and walked out.
Jin Xi froze for a moment.Grandma's face was a little gloomy, and the two of them watched her leave without saying anything.
Lying on the kang at night, Jinxi told Jiang Chen what happened in the afternoon, "What do you mean by my sister-in-law?"
Jiang Chen squeezed Jinxi's hand and closed his eyes, "What do you mean to be afraid that the two of us will rob the child?"
"Snatch the child?" Jin Xi was stunned.
"Before you were injured, I heard grandma discuss about adopting Dabao's second child to the two of us. Then they went to Dabao's house, and they didn't know what to say. Anyway, the two of them didn't discuss it again when they came back." Jiang Chen's body has evolved again, and his five senses are also sensitive. As long as he thinks, nothing in this courtyard can escape his ears.He didn't tell Jinxi that Dabao agreed when his grandparents said this, and even said that Dongdong could be raised by them. Dabao said at the time, "Even if Dongdong doesn't make it, Jinxi will help teach him in the future." . '
But grandma saw that Ye Zi was not very happy, so she didn't mention it after returning home, but a girl from the brigade who had a good relationship with Ye Zi came to visit, and Ye Zi complained to her.Ye Zi may have lost all her relatives and cared about her new family and children, so she was very disgusted with this proposal from her grandma, but the girl said, "What are you afraid of? Even if your son is adopted, you still live together , when the family and children are by your side, the relationship will not be bad, and your brother-in-law and Jiang Chen agree with each other in Yecheng. The resources they both have are not all your son's in the future.The future will also be towards you.Maybe he can become the second city lord in the future. 'At that time, Ye Zi didn't make any more noises, and I'm afraid she was a little moved.
Moreover, Jiang Chen heard a familiar footstep at that time, and carefully identified it as grandma's. I am afraid that I discussed this with Jinxi today. The first Dongdong stayed in the back row, and they naturally didn't want their favorite grandson to be wronged, so they simply dismissed this idea.
"Oh, I don't mean that either. My nephew is also my relative, and I'm just as rare. Don't we look like we are snatching someone's child?" Jin Xi felt uncomfortable. Although Ye Zi smiled at him today, but he did it so quickly. Taking the child away, I feel a little uncomfortable.Thinking about it now, he was recuperating from his injuries some time ago, and Ye Zi brought the child over for a look in the first two days, but he didn't come again after that. At that time, he thought that he would scare the child by shedding his skin, but he didn't expect that people didn't want him to get close to the child.
Thinking of this makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Jiang Chen smiled and hugged him comfortingly, "Don't think too much about it. I thought about the fact that there are many children in the nursery at the back, when the two of us go over to have a look, maybe there will be a suitable one to adopt at that time, It's our child."
Jinxi nodded, "It's not something to worry about, it depends on fate. I was a bit thoughtful when I saw Qiangzi at the beginning, and I didn't expect Dabao to be good at that time, but he is only a boy in their family, and he can't be changed. Besides, The three of their siblings can also start a family, so I let go of my thoughts. After Dabao recovered, I didn’t have such thoughts. Anyway, my father has a child, but now Zhang Chengwei and Dabao have children in their families. , it's strange that the two of us are so lonely." He said and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen rubbed his head on Jinxi's shoulder, "I don't feel lonely, I wish it was just the two of us living in a two-person world."
Jinxi smiled a little itchy, "I'm not alone, but seeing that they all have children, I'm also a little envious."
"Let's adopt a few if we have the chance."
"A few more, I think one is enough."
"Anyway, we can afford it, so it's okay to raise a few more. I haven't told you yet. At the meeting the day before yesterday, Ye Qiu proposed to build a city lord's mansion on the land behind the assembly hall. You go and have a look tomorrow, and he has made all the blueprints." Come out, let’s see what’s changed. Zhang Zhong and Zheng Yuan tested the water on Dongshan Mountain, and the water is indeed abnormal. If it’s flowing, it won’t be frozen, and if the volume exceeds one cubic meter, it won’t be easy to freeze, so they thought Divert water into the city and re-establish the water system. Our City Lord's Mansion will be the first to build it."
Jin Xi sat up after hearing Huo's words.Jiang Chen hurriedly pulled him back, "It's cold, keep freezing."
Jin Xi lay down again, and asked anxiously, "The City Lord's Mansion? Why did Ye Qiu have this proposal." He did not attend the Ye City meeting during his recovery.
"Someone mentioned this matter when you were at the castle, but at that time we had a lot of projects in Yecheng, so I didn't agree. Now the construction is almost the same, there are no major projects, and we can start when the weather is warmer, especially There are still some people in the outer city, and through the construction of the City Lord's Mansion, these people can have something to do and integrate into Yecheng as soon as possible." Jiang Chen explained, "As for the City Lord's Mansion, which will definitely be built, this year's plan has proposed I have bought several of them. I originally thought that I would just build a big courtyard and three big houses. There are only the two of us in the house, so it’s useless to be so big. It’s just that Ye Qiu and the others said that the City Lord’s Mansion is the symbol of power in Ye City, and it is absolutely impossible to build such a large house. Simple, because there was no city lord's mansion before, my city lord is no different from before, and my prestige in front of outsiders is not so great. It can be regarded as an image project. And when the water and water problem is solved, other buildings in Yecheng will have to start planning again , before the earthquake, many old houses collapsed, not very strong, and they will gradually be phased out. Now they have made a five-year plan and a ten-year plan. I saw the drawings and felt quite shocked. , the entire grassland belongs to Yecheng."
Jin Xi asked in surprise, "How could they have such a big plan?" Although Jin Xi didn't see the blueprint, Jiang Chen was shocked, the plan must be not small.
Jiang Chen shook his head, "It's not too big. There are a lot of news from various places. I heard that there is a sea city in the south, which is also newly built. The construction area is a quarter of the size of the capital city and has a population of one million. It is the largest in the south. of a city.”
"Haicheng?" Jinxi was surprised, this Haicheng was in his memory.In my memory, it is the largest base in the south, but that place is far away, and they can be regarded as the North and South Poles of China. "Who escaped from Haicheng? It's less than a year away?"
Jiang Chen smiled, "You do understand, but that family has been away for more than a year. I heard that the management of Haicheng is a bit chaotic. In addition to the strongest city lord, there are many forces below. Their family just offended one of the people below. The big forces left as a last resort. Later, there was no suitable base, so they kept heading north. Originally, they wanted to settle in the West Jing base, but found that the West Jing base was also divided by the major forces, so they left, and finally came to our Yecheng. We Although this place is not as powerful as other places, the victory lies in unity, not to mention that our side is far from other bases in the north, so it is still very stable."
"That family is capable of escaping from Haicheng."
"Well, it's currently under investigation, but Ye Ke has already set his sights on it, and it's no surprise that he will accept it."
