Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 121: Dog Verification, No Deception

After listening to what the old man said, Lu Xian understood.

It seems that the content recorded in the work notebook he and Yao Wei found in Fengcheng County was from the initial stage when the cold disaster first hit.

At that time, the people in this world should have prepared a variety of response measures, such as emergency command posts and command systems, shelters, and the X-17 strain.

So, could this square cone-shaped transmission tower in your hand also be one of the means to deal with the cold disaster?

Lu Xian glanced at the thing in his hand and thought.

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Lao Shu also said that this thing was installed later. When was this later?
He asked directly: "Uncle, when exactly was this thing installed?"

"When was it installed? When... when... let me think..."

The old tree scratched its head in confusion again, and the roots fell off again.

The old man probably felt that there were too many tree roots floating in the water, so he picked them up and threw them out of the pit while thinking.

After thinking for a while, he was still a little confused and replied: "If you want to ask me when it was installed, I really can't remember.

“But it should be around the time of the cold disaster. Anyway, I used to come to the mountain to burn incense sometimes, but I’ve never seen this thing.

"Alas, it's a good temple for the goddess, people come here to burn incense, but in the end they put this kind of thing there and don't allow people to enter.

"No wonder there's a cold disaster. The goddess is angry. The temple collapsed because no one burned incense. And there are still people doing this kind of thing in the temple. The goddess has lost her power."

I didn't expect that this old man was still so superstitious.

Lu Xian didn't respond to him. He just told him to continue soaking and asked Yao Wei and Chai Xin to go back to the car.

He was now certain that this tower must be one of the tools and means to resist disasters. Otherwise, why would it be installed before or after the cold disaster?
"How about we take this thing and go?"

When they reached the car, Lu Xian and Yao Wei said, "Gouzi said this thing is useful, but I don't know what it is for. It might come in handy someday."

"Besides, this thing doesn't take up much space, so it should be able to fit in now. If I can't find a use for it later and I don't have anything else handy, I can use it as a weapon, right?"

It is so long, thick and big that it is no longer suitable as a concealed weapon, but it is still okay to use it as a weapon.

It’s a pity that this cone-shaped bottom doesn’t have a grip. If it had one, it could be used as a knight’s gun.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and agreed with Lu Xian's opinion.

So Lu Xian stuffed the transmission tower into the car.

Lao Shu said half a day was half a day. They waited for half a day and Lao Shu came back as expected.

The skin on his body was stuck together, and although it was a little more wrinkled, it was fine and didn't hurt anymore.

"Okay, excuse me, brother and sister, for waiting for me. Let's go."

The old tree was still wet, and its clothes were even greener. It seemed that after coming out of the green water, it wiped its body with the clothes before putting them back on.

As he was about to step on the pedal to get on the car window, Lu Xian quickly said, "Wait a moment."

The old tree quickly stopped.

Lu Xian said: "Dog, take a look first, is this green water corrosive? If it is, let it air dry first and then talk about it after your body is dry.

"Don't get in my car and corrode it."

Yao Wei glanced at Lu Xian.

Lu Xian quickly changed his words: "Our car."

Yao Wei withdrew her gaze and picked up the mechanical dog at her feet.

The mechanical dog looked at the old tree with its eyes, and its eyes flashed twice, indicating that it was not corrosive.

Lu Xian said: "Okay, it's okay, get in the car."

"Okay! Okay! Thank you, brother and sister!"

As Lao Shu spoke, he tried to climb onto the car again, and then said, "Oh, it's all my fault. After washing it like this, I don't want to get on and dirty your car." Oh... I'm really angry when I say this. There is only this pool of water, and I can't live without it. I have to come here to soak every month.

"I was afraid it would disappear someday, and I didn't have anything to hand, so I fetched water and moved it to the village, but there was no place to put it.

"Sometimes I think I might as well just die. There's no point in living alone. I can't eat or sleep well, and I get pain every once in a while, and I have to keep running here..."

"I really don't want to soak in this stuff anymore!"

Lu Xian glanced at the old tree in the rearview mirror, and suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Uncle, are you so sure that you got better after soaking in that water?"

Lao Shu was already halfway up the car, with one foot on the pedal and the other on the tire, and replied, "Of course! I was soaked in it for who knows how long before I got better."

"After that, every time I came back, it was already soaked."

Lu Xian gave Gouzi another instruction: "Gouzi, scan and see if the green water on his body is effective from internal use or external application?"

Yao Wei cooperated by reaching out of the car window and carrying the dog out.

The dog aimed at the old tree in mid-air and scanned it for a while, causing the old man to lie on the car and dare not move.

After a while, he asked timidly, "Are you done sweeping?"

The dog's eyes lit up.

"I've finished sweeping."

Lu Xian answered.

"call……"

The old tree let out a sigh.

Lu Xian said: "The result of the dog's scan is that your bath is completely useless.

"I just asked if it works internally or externally. If its eyes light up once, it means it works internally. If it lights up twice, it means it works externally."

"what?!"

The old tree didn't react for a moment.

Lu Xian continued: “In other words, it’s useless for you to soak in the water.

"It only works if you enter the water, dive down, and pour a little into your mouth."

Lao Shu said blankly: "But I didn't drink it either..."

Lu Xian said, "You keep diving down, so you have to get some water into your mouth, right? Otherwise, why are you always making those puffing noises?"

Old tree: "..."

Yao Wei: “…”

"Pfft..."

Chai Xin found it quite interesting and couldn't help laughing.

Children’s sense of humor is just so low.

Lu Xian said: "So, judging by this, you don't need to take a bath every time, you just need to take a little of this green water. And seeing that you are always puffing, just drink a little bit every time."

Lao Shu instantly became excited: "Brother, are you serious?"

Lu Xian said: "The dog has verified it, and it is honest and trustworthy."

Lao Shu jumped out of the car with a thud, spun around excitedly, and clapped his hands, saying, "So that's how it is! So that's how it is! All these years of my life have been in vain!"

He was in tears, and Lu Xian didn't hear clearly whether he said it was a waste of time or a waste of time.

After crying for a while, the old man suddenly hesitated and asked Lu Xian cautiously: "Brother, I saw you drinking water yesterday, and you had bottles. I don't have a bottle, can I ask you for one? I'll exchange it with you for corn."
