Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 6 Raising a Child
No wonder Cheng Mo couldn't get out. Under the guidance of the system, even if the two of them were in the air, they couldn't see the outer desert. This place seemed to be surrounded by something invisible. They needed to find the correct route to successfully leave. Sometimes when they were flying, the system would make them turn around suddenly, and sometimes they would let them walk on the ground. All the routes were unexpected. It can only be said that it was amazing that Banmu accidentally came in!
Even though the two were well prepared, they still couldn't get out of the outskirts before the sun set, and finally had to spend the night in the swamp.
This swamp is different from the swamps on Blue Star. There are no extra trees around it, only one huge tree. The tree blocks out the sun and covers the entire swamp. The hanging aerial roots are not swallowed by the swamp, but they are intertwined to form a piece of bare ground.
The two stood on the aerial roots. The swamp below was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. Cheng Mo patted it hard, and the fallen leaves rippled. If Ban Mu hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to stand on it to take a look! Ban Mu, who had lived with Cheng Mo for a while, knew that Cheng Mo had to eat vegetables for every meal, but they were frugal when they were away from home, and they had to go out early tomorrow! So the two of them just grilled some meat and went to bed early at night.
Cheng Mo, who was half asleep in the middle of the night, suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance. He opened his tired eyes and found Ban Mu looking up at the swamp vigilantly. Cheng Mo turned his head and found that the swamp covered with fallen leaves during the day was actually blooming with layers of lotus flowers! It doesn't look like a lotus. Each lotus petal is two meters long, and the lotus stem in the middle can accommodate an adult. Ban Mu touched Cheng Mo's head soothingly, as if to comfort him, but Cheng Mo was not scared. He only saw the lotus seeds, and the lotus roots underneath!
"079! Look! Is that a lotus?" Cheng Mo screamed in her heart.
"...Yes, it's edible." 079's tone was tired. His host had set his eyes on the things below. He hoped that the host would show mercy and not empty the old tree spirit's assets. This old tree spirit was really cunning. He actually stopped here and waited for them. According to the host's personality, he would definitely take the little lotus out. According to the original trajectory, the lotus family should be exterminated. This world is an orc world, and plant monsters should not be born. If it weren't for... Thinking of this, 079 hurriedly looked at the next task release, hoping that the next thing would not go wrong. This world can't withstand any blows. A world where even gods can't survive!
Cheng Mo looked at the magical scene in front of him and said with some joy: "Banmu, this is a lotus. Did you know that lotus petals can be fried with flour, lotus seeds can be boiled into soup, and there are even more ways to eat lotus roots!"
Banmu knew that Cheng Mo loved to eat, and he also knew a lot of delicious things, but he still spoke cautiously: "Cheng Mu, this place is different from before, I have never seen these things."
Hearing this, Cheng Mo also put away the idea of picking. In this strange place, it is better to listen to the natives. Although 079 said it is edible, 079 did not say it is safe! Although he is greedy, he is not stupid.
So he leaned closer to Banmu carefully and said, "There must be something wrong when things are abnormal! Do you feel any danger?" After saying that, he picked up a stick and protected himself.
"Don't be afraid, little friend. We are not a threat." A kind voice suddenly appeared, and Cheng Mo shrank back in fear. The middle of the night, the wilderness, and the old man's voice, these three things seemed so weird no matter how you looked at them. Could it be that this world was a supernatural world?
Suddenly, the lotus pond in the swamp surged, and a normal-sized lotus was pushed over. Banmu stood up and blocked Cheng Mo, growling threateningly. The lotus stopped in front of the two people and stopped moving. The kind voice appeared again: "My two friends, I am a thousand-year-old tree spirit. This is the orphan of my best friend's family, and he was born from a lotus. I have an unwelcome request. I hope you can help take care of this child until he grows up."
The voice paused, and as if afraid that the two would not agree, he threw out another temptation: "As long as you two agree to help me take care of this child, I can give you what you need." Neither of them was moved. Cheng Mo was still shocked that after the existence of the orcs, a creature suspected to be a lotus spirit and a tree spirit began to appear in this world. Ban Mu didn't understand. He didn't understand what tree spirits and lotus were. Anyway, he listened to Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo didn't want to take on this task. He felt it was a bit hard to raise a big cat like Banmu. Although Banmu could hunt by himself and knew to run home when it rained, raising a child was really tiring! For example, Banmu never spoke, and he suspected that the child was autistic. So he talked to Banmu every day, but he didn't force Banmu to respond to every word. At least he wanted Banmu to feel his fatherly love!
"What do I need? I don't even know what I need, how can you be sure of what I need?" Cheng Mo said carefully. He was not sure whether the other party was good or bad. Even if the other party acted very kind, what if he was a tree spirit with a double face? So Cheng Mo tried not to anger the other party.
"You came to this world just to..." The old tree spirit was interrupted by the system's scream before he could finish his words: "Host! Promise him!"
Cheng Mo was so frightened by the sudden sound of the system that he accidentally hit Ban Mu with the stick in his hand. Ban Mu turned his head and looked at Cheng Mo aggrievedly. Cheng Mo touched the place where the big tiger was hit with a guilty conscience: "My goodness, I didn't mean it!"
"079, what do you mean?" Cheng Mo felt a little uneasy. He always felt that 079 was hiding something from him?
"Host, the next task requires you to find various grain seeds and plant them successfully. The old tree spirit has those seeds, and he also has the planting tools we need. Agree to him and you won't suffer any loss." 079 was afraid that the old tree spirit would reveal the secrets of the system, so he had to interrupt Cheng Mo's thoughts.
As expected, Cheng Mo's doubts were interrupted before they were formed. He had suffered enough without planting tools. When he didn't have a hoe, he just used a stick to turn the soil bit by bit. It was so tiring! Just as he was thinking, the lotus flower slowly bloomed as if it was afraid that Cheng Mo would refuse. A weak cry came out. A baby was crying on the lotus platform!
Cheng Mo hesitated. He had never raised such a young child before, and the child sounded so weak from crying. What if he couldn't raise the child well? It would be a sin if the child died accidentally! As if he saw Cheng Mo's hesitation, the old tree spirit explained: "We, the plant spirits, have strong vitality and will not die easily. How about I give you a piece of Xituan, and plant the child's original body on the Xituan. As long as the original body is not destroyed, the child can grow up safely. Moreover, Xituan is fertile, and you can also use it to plant other things. I guarantee that whatever you plant will survive!"
