The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

The short-haired aunt quickly put the branch with the insect meat slices into the fire and turned it around. The insect meat slices gave off a burnt aroma. Thirteen had never smelled such a fragrant smell before.

"Fire is what parasitic flowers fear the most, and it is also the most important survival skill for humans."

The short-haired aunt handed two skewers of roasted insect meat to the two children.

"Be careful, it's hot. You will eat it later. You know what hot is, right?

Forget it, wait a quarter of an hour before eating."

She picked up a string of slightly blackened insect meat and sniffed it, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"My cooking skills are really good. I'll eat it first. The seasoning is a little incomplete. I'll take you to eat something more delicious next time."

Twelve gently touched the grilled skewers with his fingers, and they were very hot. He quickly retracted his fingers, curiously feeling the scorching heat at his fingertips. So this was the heat.

Thirteen, who was standing next to him, stared at the flames in fascination.

"What is the thing that the parasitic flower fears the most? Can you give me some? Where can I put this flame?"

The short-haired aunt bit the insect meat with satisfaction.

"Fire? Ordinary fire cannot threaten the parasitic flower, it can only be used to roast meat.

You want the flame that kills the parasitic flower, right?"

The short-haired aunt was still not satisfied and grilled a few more skewers of insect meat slices.

"Only the branches, leaves and flowers of the Rock Rose plant can light up the golden-white flame. This color of flame will completely extinguish the activity of the high-level parasitic flower.

Rock roses are hard to find nowadays. I only have a few flowers left to me by my predecessors.

If you can become native humans, I will give each of you half."

She threw the pink buds she brought back into the fire.

Thirteen was horrified to see that the flower was actually twisting and twitching in the flames. The middle of the flower split open, and a bunch of fine threads shot out, trying hard to get out of the flames.

Thirteen had seen this pile of filaments sucking a little girl's blood dry in an instant.

He was so scared that he quickly got up and stepped back, but his balance was unstable and he staggered and fell on Twelve.

Twelve quickly hugged her and picked up a stone to throw at the tentacles sticking out of the golden and white flames.

However, after the stone came into contact with the golden-white flame, it quickly melted into liquid, without causing any damage to the filaments extending from the flower bud.

Twelve doubts, she threw a solid stone,

She looked down at the insect meat in her hand.

Is it true that the food baked by such a powerful flame that can turn hard stone into liquid is edible?

Although it smells really good, there are a lot of black particles on the insect meat that are falling down.

The short-haired aunt calmly pulled out a long-handled red stone axe with flowing patterns.

He waved at the thin filaments of the flower bud that stretched out, and the golden-white flames were briefly cut off. The filaments fell back into the flames and burned to ashes.

The short-haired aunt pulled off the fake flower bud on her head, roughly grasped the flower disk and lifted it up.

"She sent some biological message just before she died..."

A long pole was pulled out of the fake flower bud, and the flower disk was flattened and restored to its original appearance. It turned out to be a flower similar to a sunflower, and even the color turned yellow.

The flower disk was shaken left and right, and all the petals were whipping the short-haired aunt's hand, tightly holding it, looking determined not to cooperate.

The short-haired aunt stuffed a few pieces of the blackened roasted insect meat into the center of the yellow flower disk.

A large hole quickly opened up in the center of the flower disk, swallowing up all the roasted insect meat.

The flower disk opened its big mouth again. The short-haired aunt did not feed it anymore, but urged it to

"Hurry up, hurry up, or I won't feed you."

The yellow flower disk quickly began to work, spitting out leaves from its cracked mouth.

"Native humans...t...ancestral tree...save..."

The short-haired aunt scratched her head.

"I sent a signal to the ancestral tree again, but I didn't tell you where the ancestral tree is. I can't even give it a great gift."

Thirteen was so curious when he saw the flower that could transform and spit out leaves that he forgot to be afraid.

While stuffing the roasted insect meat that was no longer hot into his mouth, he asked,

"Auntie~ What is that flower? It can spit out leaves. It's amazing. It can also turn into a bud."

"A plant that is different from a parasitic flower. It can grow its own roots. It does not need humans as a breeding ground, nor does it need to steal the roots of other plants to survive.

Fence-sitter, show your roots to the children."

Thirteen stuffed the remaining fragrant insect meat into his mouth, sucked the grease on his fingers, and stared at the flower that could spit out leaves without moving his eyes.

Fence-sitter? Is that the name of this yellow flower? It doesn't sound very firm.

The fence-sitter reluctantly and slowly untied the roots that had been braided into his hair.

The short-haired lady threw handfuls of black insect meat into its gaping mouth.

The fence-sitter was indeed much more efficient. He held up his roots and brought them in front of Thirteen to show her.

He would also spit out leaves from his mouth and show Thirteen the words on the leaves.

Thirteen was ashamed. "I...I can't read...I haven't started learning the flower language class yet."

The short-haired lady was furious. "What flower language? This is human language. It's just that those parasitic flowers that get culture and nutrition from humans without working for it have learned something so weird."

Thirteen was startled. The short-haired aunt realized that she was too impatient and quickly gave Thirteen a few more skewers of roasted insect meat.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I just have a bad temper. No one has talked to me for a long time, and I feel suffocated."

Thirteen ate the relatively less dark roasted insect meat.

The short-haired aunt touched her belly.

"Are you guys full? I'll go catch another bug. Just wait a while.

By the way, I was looking for some seasoning, but there was only fragrant yellow powder left, and it didn't taste good enough. "

The basement seemed especially quiet without one person.

Thirteen was staring at the fire in a daze.

Twelve handed the remaining half of the skewer to Thirteen.

"You have always had a big appetite, so I'll give you half of this."

Thirteen perked up and looked back at Sister Twelve.

"You eat it yourself. I'll wait for my aunt to come back and ask her for more. The aunt in the nursery said I'm thick-skinned."

When talking about the nursery aunt, Twelve felt a little depressed.

"What should we do? There are children younger than us in the nursery who know nothing.

Are we just going to watch them grow up and become a hotbed for parasitic flowers?"

The two children were discussing when they saw the short-haired auntie turn around and peek out of the hole with sparkling eyes.

"Don't worry about the nursery. I destroyed the life-support garden and killed all the high-level parasitic flowers in this settlement. The children will be safe for a short time.

I just realized that you have never been out of the settlement.

How about going with me to see the night outside the settlement?"

Thirteen eyes sparkling,

"Yes, I will go,"

The figures of one big and two small ones walked into the darkness, and the shadows of the two children jumped for joy.

From time to time, I could hear the two children asking questions.

"Auntie~You "people" are so powerful, why don't you kill all those bad guys?"

"Because only at night can I suppress the high-level parasitic flowers. During the day, their power is several times greater than at night. If it were during the day, I might not be able to defeat three high-level parasitic flowers.

The most important thing to completely eradicate the parasitic flowers is to find their ancestral tree, but our predecessors have been looking for more than 50 years and have not found the ancestral tree. Where could it be hiding? It can't be hiding in the sky, right? "
