Scientific Travel

The time came to half an hour ago.

Aunt Wang is a person with a great zest for life. She keeps many flowers at home, including some rare and precious varieties.

You can tell from the fact that she can easily pull out a gold coin that her family is exceptionally wealthy.

To put it simply, the entire village's money combined wouldn't even amount to a single gold coin.

Before the flowers came to life, Wang Xi was watering them when suddenly, the flowers, which were originally less than Wang Xi's calves, grew to more than twice her height. By the time she came to her senses and ran back to her room, the flowers had grown to 6-7 meters tall.

"Mom! Mom! Hua's gone mad! She's grown taller than Dad!" Wang Xi shouted, startling the couple so much that they ran to the ground without even putting on their shoes.

Hearing the child shouting like that, Aunt Wang was so frightened that she rushed out. But when she heard what the child said, she was filled with disbelief. "This girl must be out of her mind. How could a flower grow taller than your father?"

Seeing that no one believed her, Wang Xi became anxious. "It's true! If you don't believe me, open the window and look."

Aunt Wang didn't believe Wang Xi's words, thinking she was just confused from sleep, but she still listened to her and poked a hole in the window paper to look out through the hole.

Hua is not only taller than her father, she's taller than the house!

Aunt Wang quickly called Uncle Li to come and see; both of them had serious expressions.

Uncle Li spoke first. "What happened? What kind of fertilizer did you use on the flowers, old woman? Why are they growing so fast all of a sudden?"

"It's the same one as before." Aunt Wang looked out the window. Her favorite potted plant was swaying its branches and knocking down the grape trellis in the yard. "These flowers are aggressive. The house can't stop them. We have to leave quickly."

The cruel scene depicted by Hua caused immense trauma to Wang Xi's young mind. Tears streamed down her face, but she cried softly, as if afraid of disturbing Hua.

Uncle Li hugged and comforted Wang Xi for a while, while Aunt Wang pondered how to escape.

The yard is large, but the flowers have grown too tall, making it impossible to go out through the main gate. Now, even going out of the house is dangerous.

Aunt Wang found all the thick clothes in the house and put them on, so that even if she was attacked, she would be less hurt.

What are flowers afraid of?

herbicide.

To put it simply, flowers are a type of plant, and while herbicides are said to kill weeds, they can actually kill any kind of plant.

After all, even the most resilient weeds cannot withstand the power of herbicides, let alone ordinary plants.

Although the flowers are different now than before, this is their nature, and their nature will not change just because they have gained sentience.

The herbicide was in the warehouse, and Aunt Wang's room was very close to the warehouse, less than 10 meters away.

But now, this ten-meter distance is no different from an insurmountable chasm.

What are flowers afraid of?

fire.

There is almost nothing in the world that is not afraid of fire, especially plants.

Aunt Wang grabbed the table leg and kicked it hard, repeating the action until all four legs came off. She then wrapped each leg with clothing in an attempt to prolong the burning time.

Each person wore two extra layers of thick clothing to ensure that it would not hinder their activities and would also provide adequate protection against attacks.

Aunt Wang held Wang Xi in one arm and a burning table leg in the other. Uncle Li carried a bundle on his back, containing all their savings over the years and the only food left in the house.

Although they didn't know why the plants suddenly went crazy, they were probably not the only ones doing this.

If that's really the case, then we won't be able to go back to this house anymore, and we should take everything we need with us.

The table had four legs. Aunt Wang held one in her hand, Uncle Li held one in each hand, and Wang Xi held the last leg. Whenever any plant showed any sign of approaching, she would immediately raise the table leg in her hand.

The entire yard was a mess; the flowers were even fighting amongst themselves, and one potted plant was on its last legs and about to die.

Without further hesitation, the group lifted the table legs, and the flames burned quickly. Before they could even leave the room, the top layer of clothing had already been burned away.

Wang Xi's body was trembling, but she bit her lip tightly to prevent herself from screaming.

I don't know if flowers have evolved hearing, but it's always better to be careful.

The flowerpots were swaying fiercely, seemingly unaware of anyone approaching; even so, the group dared not quicken their pace.

Halfway there, a potted plant suddenly attacked, its thorns, glistening with water droplets, lashing out at Wang Xi.

Aunt Wang raised her torch to try and block the flame, and it worked; the flower dared not approach the torch.

But it also harbored a grudge against Aunt Wang because of this.

Seeing the flower begin to attack, the two stopped controlling their speed and ran quickly towards the gate.

The sound of footsteps attracted the attention of all the flowers, which swayed their branches and leaves, reaching out to the three of them.

Two fists can't beat four hands, and four torches can't stop the attack of a dozen branches.

Just as a thorny branch was about to strike Wang Xi, Aunt Wang turned around abruptly and blocked the blow.

Every single spike on it was for a reason. Even though Aunt Wang was dressed in thick clothes, her back was instantly covered in blood, and she was sent flying.

Fortunately, the direction from which the torch was thrown was towards the door. Uncle Li threw the torches in his hand at the potted plant that had attacked Aunt Wang, and then ran towards Aunt Wang without looking back.

Although the flower has developed intelligence, it is still unable to walk. It stretches out its branches to try to block the torch from getting closer, but the flames burn all the way up the branches to the roots.

The flower was burned to death.

When Aunt Wang fell, she was holding Wang Xi tightly in her arms, and young Wang Xi didn't have a single scratch.

"Cui Cui!"

Uncle Li held Aunt Wang's body, his body trembling uncontrollably, his hands covered in bright red blood.

Wang Xi could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

When Deng arrived, this was the scene he saw.

"What are you standing there for? Carry Aunt Wang on your back, and I'll carry Wang Xi. Let's go to my house," Deng Yin shouted at Uncle Li.

Although Uncle Li looks frail and like a scholar, he is actually very fast when he runs.

Although Deng Yin wasn't physically strong, Wang Xi in his arms was very light, so even so, he couldn't outrun Uncle Li, who was carrying Aunt Wang, who was even heavier than Uncle Li.

Deng Yin gritted her teeth, not daring to rest even for a moment. Fortunately, she had killed all the plants along the way with herbicide.

When they reached the kilometer-long area that Deng Yin had cleared, and there were no more plants to be seen, Wang Xi said to Deng Yin, "Sister, we're almost home. There are no more crazy plants around here. Please put me down and go see Mom. Mom's back is covered in blood."

This area is quite safe, but Aunt Wang is badly injured.

Deng Yin no longer hesitated and instructed, "Okay, then Xixi, come quickly, your sister is waiting for you at home."

After explaining all this, Deng Yincai put Wang Xi down and hurried home.

Deng Yin watched Uncle Li's retreating figure and called out, "Put Aunt Wang face down on my bed, don't touch her wound."

Uncle Li didn't answer, but quickened his pace.

It was only a fleeting glance that made Deng Yin realize just how badly Aunt Wang was injured.

His clothes were soaked in blood, and his body was covered in sharp spikes.

"Go fetch a basin of water." Deng Yin carefully used scissors to cut open Aunt Wang's clothes. The flower was very strong, even though Aunt Wang was wearing thick clothes. But a large tear was still torn in the back.

"Okay...okay..." Uncle Li's voice trembled, and he had completely lost the ability to think. He did whatever Deng Yin said.
