A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 86

Soon, after finishing breakfast, Louis and the village head go out, and Lily stays in the village. She sees Aisha is doing laundry and wants to help her.

"You are pregnant now. You don’t have to help me, just sit there and hand me the clothes."

Aisha keeps remembering that Lily is pregnant, and she treats Lily carefully, which makes her very embarrassed. She finds a stone to sit down and chats with Aisha while watching her washing the clothes.

" Aisha, how long have you been here?"

"Almost thirty-nine years."

"That's a long time, " Lily says, and becomes curious again, "There are a lot of villagers living here for decades, but why are there so few people?"

Since there is a plant that can regenerate cells in this place, their lifespan should increase, and over the past thirty years, the population should have increased by half. However, Lily did not see many villagers last night, and there are very few children.

"We don't know what's going on. Anyway, we die at the age of fifty." Aisha says.

Lily freezes, "Fifty years old?"

She has never heard of it that there is limit for death.

"Yeah, every family is the same. When a child is born, people over the age of fifty will die peacefully, so the number of people in the village has not changed in these decades."

"Did you ever think about going out?" Lily says, "It seems to be not far away from the city center. You can go to the hospital for a check. Maybe there is a physical problem."

Aisha shakes her head with a smile, "It's so good here. Everyone is very happy. Why should we go out? You have to buy land when you go out, you have to raise a lot of children, and no one can understand our dialect."

Lily doesn't speak again.

Yeah, except for the education and medical care, this is indeed a paradise. It can be self-sufficient, and you have nothing to worry about. If she were Aisha, she doesn't want to go out either.

After Aisha washes the clothes, Lily helps her take the clothes out to dry, and Aisha takes her to the vegetable garden in the back.

The garden is covered with a simple shed made of wood. When you want to see the sun, you can take away the long wooden board on the top. In addition to a few cabbages, there are plants growing in other places.

Looking at the two rows of green plants on the ground, her heart beats violently.

These are the priceless treasures!

Aisha doesn't pay attention to these plants. She pulls two plants into the vegetable basket and says to Lily, "Although the village head is young. He is already 48 years old. Our villagers eat this kind of grass, so we look very young. I will cook them for you later."

"How is it so amazing?" Lily stammers, and she almost couldn’t speak, "I know it for the first time that one's age can be reversed."

Aisha chuckles and says, "Yeah, this is a gift from the Lord. But this grass can only survive in such a place. Someone in the village wanted to take it out and sold it, but it died on the way."

Well, so it is.

Lily finally understands why no one wants to take advantage of this priceless treasure. It turns out that they can’t do it.

If this plant cannot be taken out, it means that Louis has to send a research team to come here. They have been targeted by many enemies before they come. If the research team really stations here...

This seemingly unremarkable plant is something that can make the whole world crazy.

People are greedy and selfish. If they know this kind of plant, people must want to own it. Isn’t it equivalent to bringing a devastating disaster to their village?

Lily is cold all over. She doesn't dare to think about those things. She follows Aisha and asks casually, "Aisha, how do you plant this plant? Does it also rely on roots to absorb nutrients?"

Aisha nods, "Yes, they are very reproductive. You cut the leaves and water them for a few days, then it will be as good as new born."

"Really?"

Lily looks back at the plant in the wooden shed, and she has an idea in her mind.

In the afternoon, Louis and the village head return.

Louis drives an off-road vehicle, and Lily finds out that the off-road vehicle is modified, and behind it is a very spacious space for all kinds of food.

"Do the off-road vehicles behind take all these things?" Lily asks Louis as the villagers divide things.

Louis nods, "After getting your translated address, I've asked people to buy things. They don't need money. All they need is food and seeds."

Lily purses her lips and suddenly falls back.

Louis's face changes, and he holds her waist. He ignores the surrounding villagers and hurries to take her into the house. Lily opens her eyes again.

Is this woman teasing him?

Lily whispers, "Do you remember what I was wearing last night? It should be dry outside. Get it back."

Seeing that she is not joking, Louis turns around and takes the clothes back soon.

"Close the door."

"..."

After Lily gets the clothes, she immediately takes off her earrings and uses the thin head to pick the thread of the flower on her clothes. A piece of special-made paper and a little dye are hidden in the picked flower.

She straightens the curved earrings, stains it with dye, and writes a few strings of numbers on the paper.

"Density of glass?" With just one glance, Louis could see what Lily writes, and he asks, "Why did you write about this suddenly? What happens?"

"We’ve thought it too easily before, "Lily says, telling Louis what Aisha has said to her and telling him the survival rate of the plant.

"I think there must some problems with the land. If you want to transport the plant out, you need to make a special glassware. Mr. Louis, try to get out again and give this to David."

Louis tightens his eyebrows.

Louis has never thought about what Lily said, nor did he expect that the plant could only be planted in such a small plot of land in the same area.

If he has known it earlier, there are ways to deal with it.

After a while, Louis says, "Then we will stay here for a few more days."

"It's okay, just find an opportunity to prick the wheels of the truck." Lily says, "I don't want to ruin this paradise because of making money."

Louis looks up at the woman in front of him. She is a head shorter than him, and her face is still painted with cold brown dye, but she is like a little sun, and is always shining. His heart misses a beat.

This woman is really too smart.

"Mr. Louis?" His eyes are too hot, making Lily feel that she is the meat on the knife board, and she feels a little scared, "Is there something on my face?"

Louis shakes his head and says in a deep voice, "Miss Lily, I still remember the three conditions I’ve promises you. Tell me what you want. I will fulfill you."

"I don't want anything now. I'll think about it again when we return home."

"Fine."

Lily does not know what method does Louis use that he goes out with the village head in the afternoon. Then she uses the earrings to prick the tires of the off-road vehicle.
