Chapter 6 Chapter 3 Weird Plants

"My god, that woman is so vicious, she almost thought she was really going to die there." I don't know how long he ran before he let me go and said with a heavy breath. I also panted heavily, and smiled wryly: "It's not that bad to kill you, but it's very possible to kill off your children and grandchildren." "Tch, that's worse than letting me die. I'm not married yet. My family has only three generations, and it's just waiting for me to carry on the family!" He shrank his neck in fear. God, this guy looks like he's grown up, and he's not married yet.Perfect match!Sure enough, it was a perfect match with a certain old woman with a childlike face.Wouldn't it be God looking at the two of them as pitiful and deliberately matching them up?

Of course this cannot be said.I secretly laughed wildly in my heart for a while, and then said: "Where is this?" I came in a hurry and didn't have time to look at the road.When he regained his composure, he found himself in a dirty, smelly and cramped place. "Sewer." The bastard said casually. "Sewers?" I frowned. "The so-called secret passage you are talking about? Excuse me, where is this well-known place 'secret'?" "Of course it's a secret path. Even if everyone knows about it, how many have the guts to sneak through it!"

The cheeky bastard said nonchalantly. Tch, it's no wonder this guy is still unmarried, not because of his flawed personality. Shaking my head helplessly, I said, "Let's go, I'll treat you as reasonable. In short, the result is the most important thing." He took out a flashlight from nowhere and led the way ahead.The sewers are really narrow and filled with dirty, foul-smelling excrement that is suffocating. I pulled up my clothes, covered my nose and followed him. After walking for a while, I poked his back with my finger and asked, "Hey, I haven't asked your name yet. "

"Mine?" He pretended to be surprised. "Of course it's you, otherwise who else can I ask, there should be no one else around here." I replied angrily. "Oh, my name is Zhang San." The stinky man lied without blushing. My brows frowned more tightly, and my tone became colder: "Hey, this Mr. Zhang San, have you heard a story? Once upon a time, there was a merchant in Jiyang when the boat sank when he was crossing the river. He grabbed a A weed stalk screamed for help. "A fisherman heard the sound, and the merchant hurriedly shouted: 'I am the biggest millionaire in Jiyang, if you can save me, I will give you a hundred taels of gold.'

"After being rescued, the merchant turned his face and refused to accept his account. He only gave the fisherman ten taels of gold. "The rich man said: 'As a fisherman, you can't earn a lot of money in your life. Isn't it enough to get ten taels of gold suddenly?' The fisherman had to go away disgruntled. "Unexpectedly, the rich man capsized again on the same spot. Someone wanted to save him. The fisherman who had been deceived by him said: 'He is the one who doesn't count!' So the merchant drowned. "It is accidental that a merchant meets the same fisherman when his boat capsizes twice, but it is expected that the merchant will not be rewarded. Because if a person is not trustworthy and dishonest, he will lose the trust of others. Therefore, once he is in the If you are in a difficult situation, no one is willing to help you. If you lose your trust, once you are in trouble, you can only sit and wait for death, so you must be honest."

The smile on the man's face did not weaken at all, "Oh, so I also know a story. In ancient Holland, there was a poor but happy family. Before the crystallization of love came to this world, the man The owner decided to go out to work to earn money to support his future livelihood. "Before he left, his wife firmly said to him: 'No matter when you come back, I will wait for you.' "With this heavy promise, the man embarked on the journey with peace of mind. "Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. The man thought of his wife far away, and decided to go home. The old master listened to the man's request with a calm expression on his face.

"He pondered for a while, and said meaningfully to this old servant who had followed him for twenty years: 'You have two choices now, first, take away your wages for twenty years; second, I will send you Three sentences and three highbreads.' "The man heard it strangely, but he was curious, so he asked: 'My lord, what is the first word you will send me?' "The master replied: 'First, don't trust people easily; second, don't be overly curious; third, don't make decisions easily when you are angry. Well, since you have chosen my second condition, go home Bar!'

"The man had no choice but to take the three so-called high-end breads and walk in the direction he remembered, but the changes in the past twenty years were so great that he couldn't recognize which one was the way home. "I happened to see a passerby passing by, so he stepped forward to ask for directions. But the passerby, seeing that he was a foreigner, deliberately tricked him and pointed him to another wrong route. "When the man was walking towards that road, he suddenly remembered the first sentence of the master, so he resolutely chose the opposite direction to what the passer-by said, which is the correct route.

"He traveled several times and settled in an inn at night. In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a noise coming from downstairs. When he was about to go downstairs after getting dressed, he remembered the second sentence of the master: Don't be too curious. So he hesitated and returned to the bed, went downstairs the next day, and found a pile of dead bodies! "Wearing the stars and wearing the moon, the man wanted to eat the bread many times on the road, but remembered that his wife had never eaten such a high-end bread, so he took it out several times to smell it and put it back.

"Finally, he returned to his hometown. Although he had changed a lot, he was still able to find his home with his own memory. When he walked to the window, he suddenly wanted to see what his wife was doing. "But the scene he saw through the gap almost knocked him down! He saw a young man lying in his wife's arms! In his anger, he almost wanted to rush in and kill them together! But in the Under such circumstances, he still remembered the third sentence of the master: Don't make a decision easily when you are angry! "After the complicated and painful inner struggle, he endured it, but he was afraid that if he went in now, he would no longer be able to control himself, so he simply stayed in a nearby hotel.

"After a night like this, the man calmed down, packed up his things, and returned home - he didn't see the man from yesterday. His wife greeted him excitedly and wanted to hug him, but he coldly pushed him away. "Looking at his surprised wife, he asked in a trembling and slightly angry voice: 'Who was the man lying in your arms yesterday?' "The wife hesitated for a moment, then suddenly beat the man and cried: 'He is our son!' "Tightly hugging his wife who has been eroded by the years for twenty years, the man can't say a word. Finally reunited, but the man with nothing else to eat, at this time, he thought of the bag in his backpack. Three high-end breads! He took them out excitedly, and distributed one to his wife and son. But when they broke open and ate them, they were stunned—they were full of money, which added up to exactly 20 years’ wages of a man! You Say, will this story be more interesting than my name?" I carefully chewed his words, especially the three points in the story: don't trust people easily, don't be too curious, and don't make decisions easily when you are angry.It seemed to be a wake-up call, more like hinting at me. For the rest of the journey, I didn't ask any more questions about him. I just chatted about some inexplicable things along the way, and then acquiesced to his name Zhang San. "It's here." After walking for about ten minutes, he pointed to the top of his head and said, then pulled the ladder of the sewer and was about to climb up. Suddenly, a strange light was reflected on my retina, and I hurriedly shouted: "Don't climb up, there seems to be something strange in front. Please borrow a flashlight." I took the flashlight from him, and through the orange light, I could vaguely see some strange shadows more than one meter high.The strange shadow is thin at the bottom and thick at the top, very much like some kind of plant, but in a place like the sewer where there is no sunlight all year round, how can there be large plants growing? We looked at each other and walked over cautiously. Close, very close.But when the strange figure came into sight clearly, we were all stunned in surprise. I saw five indescribable plants growing not far away.This plant is more than one meter high, milky white, and looks like a huge ginger. Its roots protrude into the dirty water, but there are no root hairs to be seen. Zhang San swallowed his saliva forcefully, took out a Swiss knife from his trouser leg, walked forward, and chopped off the roots of the plants with all his might.When the knife touched the plant, there was no loud noise, and the knife did not encounter too much resistance. The plant was easily cut off. But something even more surprising happened. The cut plants made a "rustling" sound, and then, at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, "chichi" grew rapidly outward, and it took only a minute to change back to its previous appearance.The two of us were stunned for a while, and finally recovered, squatting down in disbelief, and carefully observed the cut part of the plant. "For sure, these things should be weird plants in the news reports." I said to him. Zhang San nodded, and touched the leaves of the plants with his hands, "The leaves have the feel of plants, but you can't tell the variety." "Collect some and go back for testing." I took out a glass bottle that I had prepared a long time ago from my bag, and I put some leaves and rhizomes in it. At this moment, a voice suddenly shouted: "Hey, who is there? Stay where you are!" "A fool is one who listens to you." Zhang San and I seemed to have a tacit understanding for many years, and we acted unanimously. I dashed in the direction I came from, and Zhang San quickly moved to the side of the caller, and with a movement of his right hand, he slammed towards the man's neck. The caller was unambiguous, and reacted very quickly to block it with both hands, and kicked him with his left leg.The two of them didn't say anything superfluous, they were back and forth desperately trying to subdue each other as soon as possible. The sound of "crack" competition rose and fell in the sewer, and dirty water splashed everywhere. I turned off the flashlight and hid far away to listen to the fight between the two. When there was no light source, those strange plants emitted a strange light.It's hard to tell what color it is, but it's very complicated, and if people's eyes come into contact with it, they will feel very uncomfortable. Zhang San and the speaker were obviously stunned, and seemed a little at a loss, and the speaker was even more dumbfounded and didn't know what he was thinking.The most feared thing in a master's fight is lack of concentration. Zhang San's reaction was quick, he grabbed his momentary loophole, kicked up, his body spun in the air for a circle to accumulate strength, and then kicked the speaker's chin with extremely strong destructive force. The caller immediately fell to the ground and passed out. "Let's go." He didn't care about that person's situation, he pulled me and ran out desperately. Out of the sewer, came to a secluded place.Once again we were panting and clutching our waists, and we were so tired that we sat on the ground. "Hey, let me say Zhang San, you're too mean. It took a long time to deal with a person who just came out of the sewer. Where did you have the courage to humiliate that old woman Lin Zhiyan half an hour ago?" I asked. Panting hard, he joked. "Damn, don't talk about it, anyone who emerges from that terrible sewer is a master of the army. Look at his military style punching, and it's straight and smooth. No one who has more than 20 years of kung fu can do it at all." impossible." The cheeky old man said aggrievedly in a tone completely out of age. I was a little surprised, "You mean, the military has already intervened in the investigation? Strange, is the pothole struck by lightning really weird?" "It's strange that there is no weirdness. The military masters can be sent out to inspect the sewers. What is impossible? You know, those guys will only be dispatched when performing extremely special tasks." He curled his lips. "How do you know so clearly?" I wondered. "Nonsense, I used to..." He suddenly stopped, and said with a sneer, "I used to have a friend who was similar to the special forces of the military. He also taught me Kung Fu." Cut, you are lying with your eyes open again, I believe you are to blame. Without pursuing this topic in depth, I fell into deep thought for a while. Weird lightning, weird plants, and the involvement of the military, each of which reveals the extraordinary nature of this incident.It is unimaginable that Lingshan, a small city that is not well-known even in our country, can have so many confusing things happen in a few days. There is also the old man Yang Junfei. This guy also disappeared in Lingshan City for no reason. What kind of strange situation did he encounter? I feel a little out of my mind. I shook my head vigorously, temporarily suppressing all doubts in my heart.Suddenly thinking of the weird light on that weird plant, his whole body turned cold, and he said to Zhang San, "What do you think that plant is?" "I don't know." Zhang San was obviously also puzzled, "In the absence of a light source at all, it can emit such an indescribable light. I don't know if it will be harmful to the human body." I thought for a while and said, "Light is a kind of radiation. If there is no light source, there are generally two situations: one is a medium like fluorescent powder, which is exposed to visible frequency light part of the time, After fully absorbing and storing light energy, it emits it slowly. The second type is dangerous. It is possible that the plant contains radioactive trace elements, which continuously radiate visible light, but the radioactive light emitted by these trace elements is usually harmful. Yes. Go back and do some experiments to see which one it belongs to." There is another point that I didn't say, after all, I don't trust him.If there are radioactive trace elements in plants, it is most likely man-made.Moreover, this incident quickly attracted the attention of the military. Could it be that there is some kind of connection with the military? As for the old man, although he came to investigate the Xiong family's case, if the military was involved, the inexplicable disappearance is understandable. It is undeniable that he is indeed very powerful, but he is still an individual after all, no matter how powerful a lonely person is, he has no way to fight against the entire country. We quietly slipped out of the sewer, and after making sure no one was following us, we circled the neighborhood leisurely, and only dispersed in front of the hotel where I was staying at night. Before leaving, Zhang San left me a business card and took away half of the plant specimens. I opened the door of the room, but I didn't see the old woman Lin Zhiyan, and the furnishings in the room were the same as when I left in the morning, she obviously never came back.I didn't pay much attention, thought for a while, took out the stationery and wrote a letter, then put it in the EMS together with the plant specimens, and prepared to send it to the lunatic uncle. Uncle Crazy's name is Ye Hao, a member of the Ye family's offshoot, a well-known flower maniac, and now a professor at a famous agricultural university. I was poisoned by him since I was a child, and I learned a lot about flowers and trees from him.Now, due to the military's involvement, it is dangerous to send plant specimens to any laboratory, so he is more credible. When I went out, I threw the letter into the mailbox by myself. When I came back, I was just about to take out the key to open the door. Suddenly, I was stunned.The door of Lin Zhiyan's room was ajar, and there was a sound of turning things that was too weak to be ignored if one didn't pay attention. Who's in there?My heart trembled, and I hurriedly dismissed the idea of ​​looking inside. Pretending to be okay, she walked forward slowly, walked past Lin Zhiyan's room, passed by her own room, and kept walking forward.After arriving at the fire exit, I walked up another floor, and then sat down and waited slowly at the blind spot on the next floor. It is impossible for Lin Zhiyan to look into her own room, because she spent the night in my room at all last night. What's more, there wouldn't be anything useful in her luggage, it was just for show, only a few unwanted clothes.Our real luggage, for the sake of safety, was stored in a locker in a bathhouse long before we arrived. It seems that the disappearance of the old man Yang Junfei is really not simple, maybe he is really in danger.That kind of danger has even brought us. I am afraid that we are also being targeted. Those people want to find certain information from us.Could it be that they suspect that Yang Junfei has passed on some things or information to us? So they didn't get anything useful from the old man. Although, it seems like we didn't get that either.No, maybe we got it, we just didn't realize it! I sat and analyzed calmly while waiting quietly. If those who searched our room were smarter, they would not take the elevator up and down. After all, the elevator is equipped with surveillance cameras, which will make them traceable.Anyone with a little knowledge of anti-detective common sense will choose the safe stairs. If these people are really stupid enough to take an elevator, then I have nothing to fear.A bunch of reckless fools, what's there to fear? I didn't have to wait long before I heard the sound of the safety stairs being roughly pushed open, and the person who pushed the door was obviously in a bad mood. I was condescending, glanced down secretly with extreme caution, and saw three very ordinary men. The three men had dark faces, frowning, and walked downstairs quickly. It can be seen from their footsteps that the three ordinary-looking people reveal extraordinary in their vigorous steps. They are all Lianjiazi, belonging to a category that can overwhelm me by twenty. It appears to be them.After sitting there for a long time with no expression on my face, I slowly walked back. Slowly pacing and pushing open the door of my room, I found that my room was also a mess, and all my belongings were taken away. These people are really meticulous in their work. I was a little lucky that I had quick hands and feet, and went out to post the letter first, otherwise I would be a turtle in the urn, and I would be ashamed if I was caught.I was about to make a call to Lin Zhiyan with a bitter face, when suddenly a figure kicked open the door of my room, rushed in a few steps, and before I was surprised, he fell into my arms limply. It was actually Lin Zhiyan, Lin Zhiyan who was covered in scars.
