Chapter 175 177. Marlene's Prospect
Compared with the home in Li Qinglian's memory, the scene that Nance sees now is obviously much more barren.
Although the mountains and river valleys are still covered with green coats, the forests are not dense; the originally contiguous world has become more and more barren, and it looks like a layer of moss has grown on the ground from a distance.
Nan Si saw that there were many people in the place where the church used to be, and several sheds were built, so he walked over.
Sister Marlene walked beside him.
Teresia obediently followed at the end.
Her eyes fell on Aunt Ma Lien's butt... I don't know why, when Aunt Ma Lien was walking, her buttocks were raised so high, and her legs were slightly retracted, as if her lower body was uncomfortable...
What happened?
The little niece racked her brains, unable to imagine what she had experienced.
The fields along the road are full of weeds, and hares come and go from time to time. Walk along a path stepped on by footprints.Nance could feel that the land covered by the soft short grass under his feet was much more fertile than the soil eroded by magic essence elsewhere.The water of the little river in the distance was not frozen, and fish were swimming in the green pools under the trees.
On the way to those greenhouses, Nance thought about an important question.
The vast territory where the Black Gold Empire is located had a population of 14 billion at the peak of the Pre-Catastrophe period.Now the land is much larger than before, but the population has dropped sharply to only one-tenth of the peak period. The reason is that the food production is too small.
Even if the technology is far ahead of the previous century, the barren land simply cannot support a large enough population.
The crops planted in these soils eroded by magic essence would be good if they could have a harvest, how could the yield be guaranteed.In the event of natural disasters such as hurricanes and snowstorms, it is even more likely that the entire state will lose its grain.
The people living on this land tried their best to fight against nature, but with little success.The production of food is not much, and part of it will be ruined by strange beasts. In order to survive, tragedies of cannibalism happen from time to time.
Nance has read some research materials, and in the dark years of the Chaos Calendar, cannibalism is not a strange thing.
With the arrival of the new era and the establishment of several big countries, the chaotic order has been eased.However, the famine that gradually starves to the point of cannibalism will inevitably be staged once every ten or twenty years.Fortunately, in big cities, there are chaebols and the government to control the order. In some small cities or in the wild, the cruel law of survival of the fittest is happening every moment.
Don't doubt the cruelty of things.
If a person is really on the verge of being starved to death, anything is possible.
No one will talk about morality with you, and no one will talk about feelings, and the instinct for survival will be infinitely stimulated... It's not that no one wants to save this situation, but those who have worked hard before, all because of some kind of The reason failed, leaving only bloody lessons for future generations to summarize.
...For example, Li Ting.
Thinking about these things, Nance walked through the barren pasture and came to the open space in front of the greenhouse.
This is the slope in front of the church where he and Ma Lian Li Qinglian took wedding photos together, and the big tree is still there.After a winter of wind and snow, many branches have sprouts of saplings.
Nance turned his eyes around here in surprise.
This area has been recultivated into fields.
While some were still covered with golden weeds, most of it had been split by furrows, dotted with mounds of manure, or plowed.While he was watching, several farming vehicles drove past the fields, and several ponies galloped happily after the vehicles.
The first batch of rye seedlings have already been planted.
On the half-plowed ground, a thin light green seedling just emerged from the soil with a pointed head.It is conceivable that when the harvest season comes, this place will become a golden world, stretching out like a sea on the banks of the river in the lowlands.
In addition to arable land, supporting facilities are also being built in full swing.
Some workers are fiddling with rumbling machines, some are repairing the reservoir, some are building animal sheds, and some are laying hardened roads between the sky and the ground...
It's a scene that's brimming with life.
It won't be long before the desolation and dilapidation here will be replaced by vitality.
Nance's throat moved slightly.
"Marlene, this is..." He looked back at the bad nun in surprise.
Sister Marlene tilted her head slightly, half of her face was buried in the collar of the white fur, and her exposed side face was suffocatingly glamorous.Still angry... Nance was a little funny, and spread his hands with a calm expression: "If you continue to do this, I will belittle you in public."
"Tsk!"
Sister Marlene spat in displeasure.
"I've discussed with the Li family and the Du family to buy the land of the Li family and use it as the company's experimental base." She said lazily, and then glanced at the old castle behind, "As for that building, it should be regarded as an experimental base for the company." My gift to the Li family is good."
"A gift from you?" Nance looked at her suspiciously.
Sister Marlene shrugged her shoulders, and her tone was a little gentler: "I don't want to take these 10 points of shares for nothing."
"Your character is really strong..." Nance laughed, and suddenly stretched out his hand, put his arms around her waist, and looked into her eyes: "But I like it."
"release……"
Sister Marlene pushed his chest angrily and anxiously.
"The whole of Shin-Yokohama knows about your relationship with me, so there's nothing to be shy about." Nance leaned close to his cheek, gently rubbed her face with the tip of his nose, and then kissed her.
Sister Marlene turned her face slightly, curling her lips a little arrogantly.
It's not that she's afraid of being seen, it's just that... the little niece is watching from behind, and she feels a little shy.Outsiders are outsiders after all, and the bad nun doesn't mind what they say.But this little niece who has treated herself like a goddess since she was a child, she still cares a lot
As long as you are happy, Aunt Marlene, don't worry about me... Teresia thought aggrievedly.
For her, this is not a kind of face-to-face NTR.
Of course, for Nance, there is no psychological burden at all to do so.
After all, he had used the secretary's body to do even worse things with Marlene.
After Sister Marlene curled her lips, she remained silent.Nance's hand behind her helped her comb her hair, and the hair was tangled and tangled between his fingers. The bad nun also leaned against him obediently, and he still played with her hair.
"What kind of mood are you doing these things?" Nance was suddenly curious.
Sister Marlene exhaled softly, looked up at him, and said, "Before leaving Shin-Yokohama, gather some experience, and when I get to the imperial capital, I can quickly spread these out."
Nance pinched her face and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"...It's gone." Sister Marlene leaned against him like a little girl.
"Really gone?"
"real."
"Why don't you consider going to the imperial capital with your child?" Nance joked.
He was joking, but Sister Marlene hummed abnormally.Nance's heart trembled slightly, and he asked her, "Seriously?"
"Anyway, you won't live for half a year, so you'll be pregnant." Ma Lianxiu looked slightly resentful, and muttered, "I can raise the child very well, and you can die with peace of mind."
Nance stared down at her.
The snowflakes fell lightly, and a few fell on her face.
She took off a snowflake and held it in the palm of her hand. The snowflake slowly melted into water.She grabbed another snowflake, but she didn't hold it this time, but dragged it with her white and tender palm, her voice became a little gentle: "Whatever you want to do, just do it with peace of mind, don't worry about the future. Even if you really Your life is so short, I will take care of everything you left behind..."
Nance thought for a while and smiled slightly.
He felt that he should not have to say any more bold words now, just give her a strong hug.
"I've always thought that you are a bit silly." Sister Marlene smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Obviously a person with extraordinary intelligence and high cultivation, but why should you be so noble? You have a kind of devotion to public welfare Warmhearted... It is difficult for a kind person to live long. I believe someone must have told you this, but you must not have listened to it... So I will not persuade you. If you really die, you will go to hell , please take the time to come back and take a look. Ten years later, I will take my child to lie on my back in the harvest field, bathed in the sun, and lazily tell your glorious deeds to my child. That’s all I can do... "
She said these words quietly.
Her body was wrapped in white fur, and her expression didn't show any fluctuations.
But the hands in her sleeves were already trembling slightly, and the blood-like heat rolled silently.
"Don't be so sad, I have a good chance of being alive." Nance was very moved, and hugged her tightly, "I'm telling you, not only do I know Lucifer, I also know jealous and lazy monarchs, and I don't have a good relationship with them..."
Sister Marlene suddenly narrowed her eyes: "The three monarchs are all women?"
"Yes." Nance blurted out.
In an instant, a killing intent rushed towards him, and he subconsciously let go and retreated.
Sister Marlene stared at him coldly, snorted, and said, "Marlene is in a good mood today, so I don't want to argue with you."
"That's good……"
Nance narrowly escaped death.
Just as he was about to walk over again, Sister Marlene suddenly bent down, quickly kneaded a snowball, and threw it at him quickly and hard.He could dodge it, but when he saw the snowball coming, he just caught it with his face.
"boom!"
Crushed snow splashed into the neckline, and it was cold for a while.
"Remember, Marlene will be the master of this house in the future!" Sister Marlene waved her fist at him majesticly, and smiled happily as she saw his snow-covered face.That delicate and beautiful face is like a warm sun.
Under Nance's gaze, she stood on tiptoe and gently lifted some skirts and turned them around a few times.Her wrists were white and smooth, and she lifted the hem of her skirt in an incomparably beautiful movement. This movement was elegant and casual, as if a gesture of her hand was enough to destroy an entire civilization system.
The bright red skirt blooms on the snow like red roses.
Among the swirling snowflakes, she is the only one with color.
It's breathtakingly beautiful.
This is the year 270 of the New Era, and winter is coming to an end soon.
After the snowstorm and plague ravaged Shin-Yokohama, everything was in chaos.And Nance directly felt Marlene's heart for the first time in this silver-clad world. She was still so stubborn, but no matter how stubborn her lips were, the kiss was soft.
"Let's go, let's sit in the castle." Sister Marlene suddenly raised her feet and walked into the castle.
Nance followed quickly and took her soft arm.
The two walked along the path that hadn't been plowed. The dry manure piled up in the field gave off a smell, and the burned weeds next to it left only a pile of black stalks.On the grass farther away, jagged mole mounds can be seen everywhere.
The old castle of the Li family retains the layout in memory.
It's just that the richness and luxury of the past have long disappeared in the years, and they are greeted only by walls covered with vines and dilapidated courtyards.The pool in the courtyard has long since dried up, revealing a muddy bottom.
"When we were here, how luxurious..." Nance said with emotion.
Sister Marlene satirized him: "Ms. Li is also in her prime, right?"
"What are you talking about!" Nance cast his eyes everywhere, and defended himself: "I, Nance, am upright, how can I have unreasonable thoughts about Mrs. Li... Hey, Mrs. Li!"
At the door of the hall, Mrs. Li stood there smiling.
Perhaps hearing what he said, Madam's face turned slightly red.
Sister Marlene turned her head, turning her mocking eyes around Nance's face, as if saying: Speak, keep talking!
I'll clean you up again tonight... Nance threatened the bad nun with his eyes, took her arm and walked to the door. His expression remained the same, and he greeted Mrs. Li calmly: "Why are you here?"
When Mrs. Li faced Nance alone, she was very peaceful.
But if there is a third person, she will be a little shy. After hearing what Nance said, she first glanced at Sister Marlene, and then replied in a very weak voice: "I'll come back and clean the house first. , keep it for later when everyone comes to vacation.”
"You are thoughtful." Nance laughed.
The Li Family Castle covers a very large area, surrounded by the rare pastoral scenery in Shin-Yokohama.
In the future, the address of the ninth class group building can be chosen here, and by the way, Miss Su and Li Qingxian can be sent to work in the fields and undergo a labor reform.
"Come in and rest first, I'll prepare lunch for you." Mrs. Li said with a blush on her cheeks.
"it is good."
Nance and Marlene entered the house.
The empty hall has been roughly cleaned, and a few simple furniture are placed.Mrs. Li came over with black tea, and bent over to pour tea for Nance. Her face was close to his, and it smelled like a young woman's fragrance.
Her face was getting younger and younger, and she looked to be in her thirties.
She also has a graceful waist, and by the look of it, she must still have a lot of vitality.
After she went to the kitchen, Sister Marlene came over and grabbed Nance's ear with her little hand: "You still say you don't have that kind of heart? Your eyes almost fell to the ground..."
