The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

14. The flower buds on the top of the head are very big.

It was as big as the parasitic flower Thirteen saw in the living place that night.

There were only two children here, and there was only a large bag of fruit in the cave.

She thought she knew why the two kids were here, and she scolded them expressionlessly.

"The nursery has been lax these days, so you guys came out to steal the fruit?"

Even though Fourteen's expression was so strange, Twelve and Thirteen's shaking hands could no longer throw stones at her.

Twelve's eyes were red, and with a trembling voice in his throat, he reached out and grabbed Fourteen's arm.

"Fourteenth sister, you are here. We have been looking for you everywhere these days. The aunt in the nursery said that you have awakened. We also want to play with you. Why don't you come back to the nursery to see us?"

Fourteen frowned impatiently and looked back at the battle situation outside.

Outside, four or five parasitic flowers were besieging a taller figure.

Twelve followed Fourteen's action and quietly looked outside.

"Fourteenth sister, what are you doing outside? We don't dare to go back."

Fourteen, with a flower bud on his head, impatiently shook off Twelve's hand.

"Little guy, don't meddle in other people's business,"

Twelve lowered her head. The opponent was not very strong. She didn't know if it was because she had just been parasitized. If the opponent did not expose the ability of the parasitic flower, they still had a chance.

Fourteen looked down at Twelve and Thirteen carefully. She looked at them with scrutiny.

"We have been on duty at the nursery these past few days, how come we haven't seen you two?"

After thinking about it, she realized that these two children were obviously very familiar with her. According to the regulations, she could not let the uninfested hotbeds notice the difference after awakening.

Doubt and resistance can affect the integration of consciousness.

There have been a series of incidents in nurseries recently. Two appropriate nurseries are very important and we should not be too strict.

She swallowed back her question and tried to slow down her tone. "When did you come out? Come back with me later. Recently, some terrible native humans have entered the settlement. They are extremely cruel and eat young flowers raw..."

Twelve sobbed with red eyes.

Although she was tall, she was timid and sensitive. She would shyly lean on me and call me sister Twelve. Fourteen really had no consciousness.

Because Fourteen was particularly afraid of the original human villain created by the nursery aunt,

They were afraid that other flowers would talk about native humans and attract them.

So they all call the original humans "big bad guys" and never dare to say the four words "original humans" in full.

"Aren't you very afraid of native humans, Sister Fourteen?"

Fourteen seemed to be provoked, and his forced gentleness began to fail to maintain.

"Ridiculous! I am a high-level... I am an awakened one, how can I be afraid of native humans?"

Thirteen also lowered her head and hugged Fourteen's other arm. She leaned her head on Fourteen's arm.

Both of them were older than Fourteen, and they had been calling Fourteen Sister from the beginning, and Fourteen had never objected from beginning to end.

Twelve and Thirteen faced the cave entrance and could see a bright light coming in the darkness.

It was a red axe that flew from the fighting figures.

They didn't move, but held Fourteen's arms tighter.

"Fourteen, I miss you..."

Fourteen, who had just parasitized the body, might not have adapted to it yet and had not reacted to the impending danger. He was held by Twelve and Thirteen, feeling a little annoyed. However, due to the fact that he had just parasitized and merged, his body did not have much strength and he could not shake off the arms of the two cubs.

"open…"

With the sound of whistling wind, the red axe accurately struck the flower bud on Fourteen's head.

Fourteen's irritated expression froze on his face. The flower bud was not dead yet, and countless filaments burst out instantly, spreading towards Twelve and Thirteen.

A big hand grabbed the flower bud.

"Ouch~ Is it because my reputation is not strong enough that a little trash who just merged with the parasite dares to attack me?"

Countless fine threads were grasped by the short-haired aunt.

In the distance, several parasitic flowers are running towards this side.

The short-haired aunt pulled out a red axe and chopped off the flower buds on Fourteen's head with one blow. She grabbed the chopped flower buds and turned around to fight against the several parasitic flowers that were chasing her.

"This is a good harvest. I can use the small garbage to make a bouquet of decorative flowers."

Thirteen looked at the short-haired aunt fighting with longing in his eyes.

She also wanted to be as strong as the short-haired aunt, and treat the parasitic flower that killed her sisters as trash.

Another half an hour passed, and finally there was no more sound of fighting outside.

The short-haired aunt came back with a bunch of pink buds.

"Auntie, why did you bring this back..."

The short-haired aunt threw the flowers aside.

"In this state, they are only seriously injured, but not completely dead.

Only high-level parasitic flowers like these can still move at night. Once we kill them completely, we can make a fire at night without any worries."

The two children ran to the cave entrance and looked outside. Sure enough, apart from a few bodies lying on the ground not far from the entrance, there was no other movement in the settlement.

Despite the big commotion outside, the settlement was not disturbed at all.

There were no flowers to check the outcome of the battle here.

Thirteen stared outside in a daze.

"We would go to the high walled garden to collect dew during these two hours after nightfall.

After the sky brightened a little, the nursery aunt came back to take us back. I have never found the settlement so quiet at night. "

The short-haired lady washed her hands with water from a green bottle and began to cut the insect meat into slices on a green leaf.

"You are less than eight years old, still very young. Ten years ago, the night was still three hours long, and you could still see some starlight at night.

You must have seen those insects outside the settlement that glow at night.

That star is much brighter than that.

My aunt said that in earlier times, there was a moon in the sky...

Legend has it that the moon in the sky is the eye of the first human ancestor. One eye of the moon looks at the day, and the other eye looks at the night..."

The two children snuggled together, listening to the short-haired aunt telling them the story of the moon.

"Then why do the ancestors of mankind only look at the day and close their eyes at night?"

Thirteen asked curiously,

The short-haired aunt paused briefly while cutting the insect meat.

"Maybe... because there are not so many humans... who need her to take care of them."

Twelve and Thirteen looked at each other, noticed the short-haired aunt's depression, and quickly changed the subject.

"Auntie~ what did you sprinkle on the worm meat?"

Thirteen ran over and squatted to watch the short-haired aunt sprinkle some yellow powder on the transparent insect meat, which had a strange fragrance.

The short-haired aunt strung all the insect meat slices together with branches and placed them on some dry branches.

Then a white flower was poured out from a palm-sized stone bottle.

Wrap it around a branch and rub it a few times, and the whole branch will catch fire with golden white flames.

Thirteen looked at this very bright color in the night, and his heart beat faster.

"What is this? Do you humans have such magical abilities?"

The short-haired aunt threw the white flowers and branches into the pile of dry branches, and the pile of dry branches ignited a one-meter-high flame. The core of the flame was golden white, and the colors of the inner and outer flames changed layer by layer.

"This is a good thing to kill the parasitic flowers completely. I can't find their stink bug dung ancestor tree, otherwise I will have to set it on fire."
