After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the male protagonist is not allowed to ge
Chapter 32 The First Phoenix
The conversation between Wen Ying and Liu Changqing finally broke up, and the young people didn't say much from the beginning to the end.
Before leaving, his complicated eyes fell on the girl named Zhixiang in the ward for a while.
He vaguely saw Ji Congyun's painful and miserable appearance on the girl. For a while, even Wen Ying couldn't immediately figure out whether it was because the government's rescue was delayed indefinitely that caused the painful death. Ji Congyun who saw her family again was even more pitiful, and this girl who was unfortunately victimized but still unable to escape and struggle to continue her life was even more pitiful.
And thinking in her heart like this, Wen Ying only said such a sentence to Liu Changqing, who was obviously still angry, so her eyes looked very cold and gloomy.
"Do you think that as long as you are the descendant of a criminal, you must also be identified as a potential criminal?"
"They are not the descendants of criminals. People's criminal desires are not inherited, but what these people carry is inherited."
"...The person you took away yesterday, if others don't take the initiative to do something to him, I can guarantee that with his character and character, he will never do anything to hurt others in his life, which already shows you This heritability is not an inevitable event."
"...It's not inevitable, but it's full of chances. No one can guarantee their chances. Wen Ying, even if it's you, you can't. If something happens again, can you bear the responsibility of paying thousands of people's lives?"
Liu Changqing said this with a blank face, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Wen Ying at all. When the matter developed to this point, the two sides with completely different positions could no longer persuade each other.
Wen Ying clearly knew that what Liu Changqing said in front of him at this moment must be only a small part of it. After all, even if his granddaughter Zhixiang was victimized, and he wanted to avenge the Shi Shura and other species, the search department did not need to make the former completely innocent Mandala killed her and deliberately induced her to awaken, and even tried to find out both the sacred tree and the five trees and six flowers.
In addition, combined with Jiang Shanglu's father's diary, this search department existed at least when Jiang Shanglu was not an adult, but it may be because in that age when information was relatively backward, there was no such thing as his comrade-in-arms Ji Congyun because of some special conditions. And a completely awakened plant was discovered, so there was no such a large and complete research team as it is today, and there are no behind-the-scenes supporters of the government like Liu Changqing.
Now that I think about it, Shura's awakening may require some specific conditions besides the death of the plants, and after awakening, they must still have some special value that Liu Changqing has not confessed to herself.
And thinking of this, Wen Ying didn't take the initiative to reveal that the mandala was already in his hands, but after looking directly at Liu Changqing with a cold face, he tried his best to maintain a calm attitude and slowly said to him,
"If I exchange Xiao Shan with you now, how likely is he to be released?"
"I'm not interested in the ancestral property of your Xiao family. You know what I want... Now that I think about it, it's been a long time since I Ku has contacted me. He should already know the poor things he knows Let me tell you, all I want is the tree species that Xiao Ao took away back then, don’t you already know about it, Wen Ying.”
"...I don't know... where the tree seed is now."
Wen Ying's answer made Liu Changqing laugh slowly. The face of the old man in front of him is not scary. On the contrary, looking at his outline, it can be vaguely seen that he should have a gentle temper and humor when he was young, and he loved to talk and laugh.
But now facing the offspring of his former best friend, his heart is filled with selfish desire and hatred, and his smile is no longer full of kindness and gentleness. Even when he leans close to Wenying's ear, the old man's eyes are almost vicious for a moment. Like a snake, it can extract poisonous juice.
"Then you wait slowly to see him die, because you are Xiao Ao's son, I will take you to see the rotten corpse then, don't worry."
……
After Fang Nong's incident in the morning, Jiang Shanglu finally gained relative independence in his cell.
The disgusting and pungent smell of smoke finally faded to the point where he could no longer smell it after two hours. Jiang Shanglu, who was temporarily relieved, leaned against the cell wall alone for a while, and his slightly tired spirit would not be able to I can't hold on like this.
But now that he finally had time to calm down, Jiang Shanglu also discovered a rather strange place in the cell where he was being held. If you talk about it carefully, it may be that the temperature is obviously much higher than what should be in this season. So many degrees, even the room temperature that made the ceiling above his head condense water.
"pat-"
As if to verify the conjecture of Jiang Shanglu, who was looking up at the moment, a drop of water condensed on the ceiling fell not far from his feet. Seeing this, Jiang Shanglu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a strange feeling in his heart flashed by.
Because of his past experience, his five senses were weak, and he didn't respond much to specific temperature changes.
It is because the growing environment of poppies requires sufficient sunlight and dew, and Wen Ying is always asking him to read "Common Plant Cultivation Manual", "Plant Protection and the Environment" like Tang Seng, and so on. Let him spend the rest of his life growing and blooming books, so he, who has always been lazy, will usually passively start to pay attention to this kind of problem.
But Jiang Shanglu, who just started to get in touch with these things, is the same as the kind of people who have never worked in the field. Many times, they can't control the speed of planting themselves.
Either the water was too hot when I watered myself, or I was sunbaked in the garden for too long at noon. In short, I had a lot of strange oolongs, and he made me feel a little anxious afterwards. Ying directly said such a serious word to him.
"The temperature can't be too high, it can't be too humid, and it can't lack oxygen, otherwise it will rot. Lesions appear in this closed environment. Many microorganisms can make animals catch colds, get sick or even die. Of course, they can also make plants In this way, be serious and don't mess around."
What Wen Ying told him at the beginning seemed to be still in his ears, but Jiang Shanglu seemed to sense something was wrong. Obviously, the people in the search department were all implant-like human beings, and the growth environment that plants need is similar, but these people The temperature and humidity of these cells were adjusted very abnormally.
In such an environment where the temperature is too high, the moisture is too high, and there are even only a few cracks in the windows to barely ventilate, let alone ordinary plants, even plants that do not have high requirements for external conditions can survive in half a month. It can be infected with germs and completely rotted little by little.
And thinking in his heart like this, Jiang Shanglu, who seemed to understand what they wanted to cause, looked thoughtfully at the wound on his palm.
Because the environment is too humid, the wound that should have scabbed is still oozing blood. If it is not treated in time, this wound may cause some difficult problems.
But he had already disposed of the lit cigarette butt in the morning, and now he couldn't find anything else that could disinfect the wound.
So after thinking about it for a while, Jiang Shanglu stood up staggeringly and walked to the door. After sitting down against the door and knocking on the door with his palm, he yelled incoherently like a psychopath.
"Come here...give me a cigarette...I want to smoke...give me a cigarette..."
His voice is not particularly loud, but it is quite penetrating in the long corridor intermittently, because Fang Nong is about to leave to pick up Liu Changqing, so apart from some low-level researchers here today, the only one who delivered water to Jiang Shanglu that day The title of Zong Mingyuan is a little higher.
However, Fang Nong made a special statement before he left, if Jiang Shanglu asked for anything else, ignore him, but if he wants to smoke, just give him as much as he wants.
And maybe because of the mandala fleeing and killing people last time, these people are also more afraid of these dangerous plants, so after a long time, this time it was Zong Mingyuan who came to deliver cigarettes to Jiang Shanglu.
"Don't fucking yell at me anymore! Be quiet! If you don't obey me again, you will be like that girl next door! Do you hear me!"
Outside the small window, he cursed in a rough voice, and the young man named Zong Mingyuan casually took out his pocket after speaking, and then threw a pack of cigarettes and a lighter into it in annoyance, as if fleeing for his life away.
And looking at the lighter on the ground that was a windfall, Jiang Shanglu leaned over and picked it up and shook it slowly. He looked carefully at the lighter that still had half of the alcohol left in it. Put these things away quickly.
After sitting back in the corner at the far end, Jiang Shanglu, who was treating his wound, began to carefully recall what the young man said just now, and thought that there might be someone in the same situation as him living next door. Even for the more miserable little girl, his eyes became a little uncertain.
"what……"
The flame ignited with a lighter scalded the surface of his wound quickly. Even though he usually has a high degree of tolerance to pain, Jiang Shanglu, who was made to feel more delicate by Wen Ying during this period, couldn't help but frown. To some extent, his deliberately lowered voice was actually not loud, on the contrary, it was very weak.
But while he was acting on his own accord, Jiang Shanglu vaguely heard the sound of flying insects vibrating their wings. When his eyes cooled down and he glanced around, a small white The dot first appeared in the field of vision, but after the frowning Jiang Shanglu subconsciously tilted his head to try to avoid the flying insect, it finally stopped slowly at the mouth of his cochlea and remained motionless.
【Uncle, are you hurt?Why are you shouting? 】
A little girl's weak voice suddenly rang in Jiang Shanglu's ears. Jiang Shanglu, whose back was slightly stiff, raised his eyebrows for a while, but he didn't relax his vigilance and talk to the little girl immediately.
After all, in such an unknown environment, it is not a matter of being responsible for one's own life to casually reveal one's true situation to people who appear out of nowhere, and the little girl seems to think that Jiang Shanglu ignores her because the injury is more serious, He only spoke again anxiously and worriedly.
[Is it so painful that I have already spoken... Then you should ignore me... You should have a good rest... It's all the fault of those villains... Your voice is so beautiful, like when our teacher played the piano for us The voice, it sounds so good... I'm right next door to you... My name is Deng Tao... What's your name? 】
"........."
Jiang Shanglu's eyes changed slightly when he heard the name Deng Tao, because in the previous conversation, Fang Nong had indeed mentioned to him the carrier of the awakened plant gene named Deng Tao, and what Zong Mingyuan said just now also confirmed Deng Tao's name. Tao was staying next to him at the moment, but what he didn't quite understand was why this little girl could communicate with him through something like a flying insect, and Jiang Shanglu moved his lips slightly at that moment.
"Thank you, my name is Jiang Shanglu."
【ah!Did you hear that?You should still be awake, right, uncle? 】
Deng Tao's soft voice sounded taken aback, but she was obviously on the verge of crying with joy. Jiang Shanglu was a little infected by the little girl's excitement, so she lazily leaned against the wall and gave a thank you. Twitching the corners of his mouth, he asked her,
"You rely on this little bug to talk to me?"
【Well... it depends on this, but this thing is not a bug...】
"Then what is this?"
【………………】
Deng Tao on the other side suddenly fell silent, as if she didn't really want to answer Jiang Shanglu's question. Jiang Shanglu, who had quieted down with her, didn't ask any more. After all, it could be seen that this seemingly weird move was also something the girl needed to guard against. A very important secret, and just when Jiang Shanglu thought that Deng Tao would not answer his question, the little girl whispered in a helpless voice.
[Oh, forget it, for the sake of your voice, Uncle, I will tell you secretly, it is a year old, not a bug, those people think it is a bug, but it is not... Wait for it to kill you You should be able to know when it is a little bit mothed, Sui will tell you everything about us, it can help you talk secretly with our companions, and it can also help us kill others, so other people will I was very afraid of us... I was almost escaped by the year old and Aunt Suzhen... But I couldn't escape, and there was a very poor brother at the end of the corridor... He was crying every day, saying that he wanted to go back I went home to find my parents, but now he can't open his mouth to speak, I heard that his mouth is rotten...]
From Deng Tao's words, we can get fragmented information bit by bit. Because the child is young after all, many things are said upside down, which is not easy for people to understand, but there have been a total of four people including himself. The names of people who were definitely suspected of Shura were still registered in Jiang Shanglu's mind.
And thinking that the midge that Wen Ying had been searching for before was no accident to be the age that Deng Tao said, Jiang Shanglu frowned and was about to ask her what it meant to know when he was mothed a little bit, when he heard that The weird little girl said to him word by word in a creepy and plain tone,
[It's just the first day, those bad guys won't do anything to you, don't be afraid uncle... They always do this, first catch a plant, and then do like my former neighbor aunt bought fish from the market , put it in your own pot for a few days, and spit out dirty water for a few days. After they are sure that you can completely listen to them, they will kill you in this room, and then let you rot away slowly...]
[And because the room is very hot and stuffy, the years will grow out of your body very quickly, and you may be a little ugly by then, and your neck will be rotten, and your voice will not be as good as it is now... But it’s okay, Because at that time, we will become real companions, and I won't dislike you. Are you happier, uncle? 】
……
Wen Ying has been doing two repetitive things in less than two days.
Keep looking for Wen Tianming and continue to look for traces of the sacred tree species.
Although he had expected that Wen Tianming would not be willing to see him, but after he ran around the military office and Wen's mansion little by little, but was not even allowed to enter the gate once, Wen Ying went He began to guess what Wen Tianming probably knew.
After all, he and Liu Changqing had been in a difficult relationship for many years. At that time, Wen Ying hadn't gotten involved in this matter, so he naturally didn't know what the reason for the two people's enmity was.
But for this incident that happened this time, Wen Ying had to meet Wen Tianming in person, so in a relatively rational and patient way, he was still unable to see Wen Tianming face to face, and the relative whereabouts of the seeds of the sacred tree could not be found at all. At that time, Wen Ying went to Wang Zhimo directly on the afternoon of the third day, and added a sugar palm whose legs finally got better.
Then the four of them hid their license plates and followed a military vehicle whose license plate number was found by Mu Xiao. After 10 minutes, they finally got on together before the car was about to reach his destination. He knocked out the four senior non-commissioned officers in the car, and invited the stunned Wen Tianming out from the back seat of the car.
"You lawless bastard, are you crazy! Do you know what you are doing? I can directly revoke your military post right now, believe it or not!"
"what ever."
Talking to Wen Tianming has never had a good face. Wen Ying, whose eyes are flushed with tiredness, has not had a good rest these days. While busy with other things here, he has to pay attention to whether Jiang Shuhua has discovered that his second uncle is missing. thing.
The most important thing is that if the time continues to be so meaninglessly delayed, he is really worried whether Jiang Shanglu can hold on, whether he can wait for himself, and thinking of this, the tired Wen Ying forcibly calmed down, and raised his hand to signal Wang Zhimo and the others went to wait in the car first, and then took Wen Tianming, whose hands were tied behind the branches, to the side.
It's just that Wen Tianming, who is used to the usual general style, was so rashly treated by his son in a simple and rough manner that his mouth was trembling with anger, and Wen Ying was not interested in avenging his personal revenge at this time, so he sorted out his thoughts and decided to He asked directly.
"The military department has always known what Liu Changqing is doing, so you have not allowed me to investigate in the past few years, and even tried every means to suppress me. If you want to get rid of my position, you must stop me."
Wen Ying's question, Wen Tianming obviously didn't want to answer, he stared with a gloomy face as if he was sulking Wen Ying or himself, but he didn't want to give him any face, and he didn't have any father-son relationship with him Wen Ying waited for a while but didn't get the answer he wanted, so he spoke again.
"If you don't answer my questions again, I really don't have much patience."
"...What can you do if you are impatient? What the hell do you want to do? Do you still remember your own last name!! I stopped you so much at the beginning, but you didn't want to listen to me! Then you ran away Go get mixed up with that Liu Changqing inexplicably! You will never listen to me to say a word! Just like your mother who doesn't know what to say all day—"
Before Wen Tianming finished speaking, Wen Ying punched him. Wen Tianming, who claimed to be his father, never expected to live so long to be beaten so violently by his own son. He was dumbfounded when he lay on his back on the ground. , and for a while his eyes were red with anger, and he yelled angrily,
"Bastard! I'm your father! What are you doing now!"
"Then she is your wife, what were you talking about just now?"
Not as hysterical as him, Wen Ying was suppressing his anger. It was the first time in his life that he had a direct confrontation with Wen Tianming on this matter, and when Wen Ying asked him such a merciless question, Wen Tianming, who was originally upright, suddenly Then he became dumb, and for a long time he twitched the corners of his mouth and remained silent for a while, then looked angrily and irritably at Wen Ying standing in front of him from the corner of his eye, then slowly closed his eyes and said,
"...I've said it a long time ago, I won't allow you to investigate further."
"Why can't we check?" Wen Ying frowned and asked.
"Because... Liu Changqing has also been investigating this matter, which started earlier than you, probably more than ten years ago, but his purpose is completely different from yours, which is completely focused on medical research. A criminal act for the purpose, but the military department suffers from lack of definite evidence, and we have no way to convict him of any crime, and at the moment he is representing the current highest authority of the Dizhi Office. If your grandfather Xiao Ao is still in this position, it is absolutely It's not his turn, but it's a pity that sometimes the development of things is so helpless..."
"People who can maintain the greatest fairness and justice do not have that fate to survive. On the contrary, people who are easily influenced by selfish desires have gradually ascended to high positions. In recent years, it seems that the human military has been exercising the role of supervision and balance, but in fact many I can't express too many opinions on this issue, otherwise it would be easy to give people the feeling that higher animals are overstepping their powers and suppressing plant and plant-like human beings..."
"But I'm a soldier. I represent national security and honor. Although I'm a traditional depraved person. I'm mean and shameless. I'm unfaithful to my wife. I'm not good enough to my children. But that doesn't mean I Can’t take a position on this kind of thing.”
Speaking of this, Wen Tianming's expression was a bit complicated. He didn't seem to be deliberately defending what he had done in the past. Wen Ying didn't pay attention to his last irrelevant self-evaluation after listening to it, and only hurriedly asked a question. ,
"What do you mean by the purpose of medical research? What is the purpose of the search department?"
"At the beginning, the search department reported to the medical research unit, but there were no substantial results at the beginning, because at that time, there was no so-called awakened Shura in the whole country, and the information mentioned in the historical materials was simply nothing. There is no credibility, the military department has proposed several times to ban this department of unknown origin, but Liu Changqing has been having trouble with my old leader at the time and your grandfather on this matter..."
Wen Tianming's expression was a bit bad when he said this, as if he remembered something that happened many years ago, and hearing that Xiao Ao was actually on the side of Wen Tianming in this matter, Wen Ying was a little surprised Wen Tianming, who was frowning tightly, continued to say,
"The relationship between your grandfather and me has always been bad, because I treated your mother badly after marriage, and I didn't treat you well, but we maintain a relatively similar point of view in business affairs. On the premise of not endangering the safety of any plants, Don’t casually convict any plants of danger. Even if you find something, you will take rescue measures first and then make follow-up arrangements. Unfortunately, Liu Changqing doesn’t think so. During that time, he almost kept arguing with your grandfather and me, so It also gradually cut off the previous very warm contacts with the Xiao family. Later, your grandfather died, and his position was further promoted. He achieved his current position in a few years, and the first thing he did after taking office was The decision is to establish the largest headquarters of the Dangerous Plant Search Section in the labor base of Cangqing City and continue to use it for medical research beneficial to plants..."
Wen Tianming's last words were like a magical key, which somehow unlocked the origin of all events. Hearing his narration, Wen Ying stood motionless in front of Wen Tianming. The back looks extraordinarily thin and thin, which doesn't even match the vicissitudes of this age, and Wen Tianming closed his eyes after seeing this, and said slowly in a weary tone,
"I was involved in other things at the time, so I couldn't prevent this from happening, but in order to make him afraid of me, I restricted the transfer of military personnel and did not allow them to participate in the work of the Cangqing labor base. Jianjian, Liu Changqing contacted one of my opponents at the time to recruit soldiers for this matter... and I didn't even know that you also joined in..."
"You already know the final result. Your comrade-in-arms, the country's outstanding young soldier Ji Congyun was forced to awaken in Cangqing, and became the first Shura-like implanted human being awakened since the founding of the country, but you don't What I know is that Wen Ying, he is still alive, and those who want to find the common ground of awakening from him have continued to build the base, and in the similar underground environment, they have really created a man like Ji Congyun. Shura with the same characteristics... The person you are looking for is now in the headquarters of the search department at the bottom of the Cangqing Grotto without any accident... that place you may never forget for the rest of your life..."
"Ji Congyun... still alive?"
The shadow that he couldn't completely get out of in this life was brought up again, even if Wen Ying tried hard to forget it, he still couldn't forget that he killed him himself. Ji Congyun who was suffocated to death in the soil.
But now Wen Tianming, who obviously knows the inside story, actually told himself the unexpected truth so suddenly. Although Wen Ying never revealed it, her heart, which had been tortured and blamed herself, almost stagnated, and she forced herself to calm down for a long time. Wen Ying who came down finally asked slowly,
"Why... would you know these details."
Knowing that there is no way to hide this dull-looking boy who is actually more sensitive than anyone else, Wen Tianming is completely helpless if he leads someone to tie him up like this. He only thinks that he will have a meeting later and must not let people find out that his son is tied up like this. Lao Tzu's scandal, and after telling everything outright, Wen Tianming sighed helplessly and said,
"One of my subordinates was arranged by me to sneak into the search department. You may have seen him. I heard that you had a dispute with him when the Central China Angiosperm Conference was held. Yes, it is the one named Zong Mingyuan. He It was my instigation to deliberately trouble you before, and it was he who conveyed to me all the details about what happened in the search department, otherwise, why do you think Xiao Suzhen can run back to Y City from Cangqing so smoothly... As for the one you are looking for Man, what I can tell you now is that he is still a normal implant-like human being at this morning, and has not been awakened, but if you insist on going to save him, I can't stop you. Cooperate with your actions, but I can't personally stand up to support you, because I am not representing myself, but the position of the entire military department. If you fail, I will choose to abandon your son immediately, and quickly sever ties with you Save myself, have you thought it through yourself?"
This is quite unfeeling, but Wen Ying and Wen Tianming have never had a relationship, so Wen Ying didn't feel anything special after hearing it, and now that he has obtained the specific location of the search department, there is even a person who can give himself Absolutely helpful internal response, Wen Ying didn't have much to say to Wen Tianming, she just wanted to pick him up and take him back to the car to see him off.
It's just that when he walked up to Wen Tianming, Wen Tianming, who had been in a bad mood ever since he met him and saw his face, which was obviously different from the past because he had entered the growth period, suddenly asked him something. .
"You finally sprouted?"
"En." Wen Ying was expressionless.
"...So you really are a poinciana tree, aren't you?" Wen Tianming's face obviously changed strangely.
"...Is there any question?" Wen Ying looked at him coldly.
"No problem... It's just that your grandfather is a red cotton tree and your mother is a saffron. You never thought that I am a human being, but why are you a phoenix tree, Wen Ying?"
Wen Tianming's question made Wen Ying frowned in displeasure. He always felt that there was a strange hint in Wen Tianming's words, but his mother had taken the initiative to explain this to him many years ago. However, no matter how impatient he was, because Wen Tianming answered his own question just now, he still replied slowly,
"My grandmother is a phoenix tree, my mother said."
Hearing what he said, Wen Tianming's expression became even weirder. He had rarely had any father-son communication with Wen Ying in the past, but now that he had said everything, he didn't bother to continue to hide it, so now Wen Tianming sneered unbearably and said,
"Your mother has nothing to do except tell you these inexplicable things all day long. She is not your grandfather's biological daughter at all. Your grandfather has never been married in his life. Where did the grandmother of the Phoenix tree come from? She is Saffron So it’s hard to conceive, and it’s easy to miscarry when you get pregnant. Yes, it’s true that I’m sorry for her first, but she saw that I was unfaithful to her, just to get revenge. Me, a saffron and a human gave birth to a child of a species that is a woody plant, so she told me that this is me and her son, she really didn't lie to me, even if I am stupid, I don't want to be at the mercy of this... ..."
"To make you still follow my surname Wen, I have done my best to you and to her who I once loved, you know, my child?"
The author has something to say: Zong Mingyuan appeared before Chapter 10, and he did have conflicts with his second aunt.
Wen Tianming is a straight man with cancer, so he doesn't judge this person. The second aunt is his own, and he is a scumbag who is confident and has nothing to judge.
Before leaving, his complicated eyes fell on the girl named Zhixiang in the ward for a while.
He vaguely saw Ji Congyun's painful and miserable appearance on the girl. For a while, even Wen Ying couldn't immediately figure out whether it was because the government's rescue was delayed indefinitely that caused the painful death. Ji Congyun who saw her family again was even more pitiful, and this girl who was unfortunately victimized but still unable to escape and struggle to continue her life was even more pitiful.
And thinking in her heart like this, Wen Ying only said such a sentence to Liu Changqing, who was obviously still angry, so her eyes looked very cold and gloomy.
"Do you think that as long as you are the descendant of a criminal, you must also be identified as a potential criminal?"
"They are not the descendants of criminals. People's criminal desires are not inherited, but what these people carry is inherited."
"...The person you took away yesterday, if others don't take the initiative to do something to him, I can guarantee that with his character and character, he will never do anything to hurt others in his life, which already shows you This heritability is not an inevitable event."
"...It's not inevitable, but it's full of chances. No one can guarantee their chances. Wen Ying, even if it's you, you can't. If something happens again, can you bear the responsibility of paying thousands of people's lives?"
Liu Changqing said this with a blank face, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Wen Ying at all. When the matter developed to this point, the two sides with completely different positions could no longer persuade each other.
Wen Ying clearly knew that what Liu Changqing said in front of him at this moment must be only a small part of it. After all, even if his granddaughter Zhixiang was victimized, and he wanted to avenge the Shi Shura and other species, the search department did not need to make the former completely innocent Mandala killed her and deliberately induced her to awaken, and even tried to find out both the sacred tree and the five trees and six flowers.
In addition, combined with Jiang Shanglu's father's diary, this search department existed at least when Jiang Shanglu was not an adult, but it may be because in that age when information was relatively backward, there was no such thing as his comrade-in-arms Ji Congyun because of some special conditions. And a completely awakened plant was discovered, so there was no such a large and complete research team as it is today, and there are no behind-the-scenes supporters of the government like Liu Changqing.
Now that I think about it, Shura's awakening may require some specific conditions besides the death of the plants, and after awakening, they must still have some special value that Liu Changqing has not confessed to herself.
And thinking of this, Wen Ying didn't take the initiative to reveal that the mandala was already in his hands, but after looking directly at Liu Changqing with a cold face, he tried his best to maintain a calm attitude and slowly said to him,
"If I exchange Xiao Shan with you now, how likely is he to be released?"
"I'm not interested in the ancestral property of your Xiao family. You know what I want... Now that I think about it, it's been a long time since I Ku has contacted me. He should already know the poor things he knows Let me tell you, all I want is the tree species that Xiao Ao took away back then, don’t you already know about it, Wen Ying.”
"...I don't know... where the tree seed is now."
Wen Ying's answer made Liu Changqing laugh slowly. The face of the old man in front of him is not scary. On the contrary, looking at his outline, it can be vaguely seen that he should have a gentle temper and humor when he was young, and he loved to talk and laugh.
But now facing the offspring of his former best friend, his heart is filled with selfish desire and hatred, and his smile is no longer full of kindness and gentleness. Even when he leans close to Wenying's ear, the old man's eyes are almost vicious for a moment. Like a snake, it can extract poisonous juice.
"Then you wait slowly to see him die, because you are Xiao Ao's son, I will take you to see the rotten corpse then, don't worry."
……
After Fang Nong's incident in the morning, Jiang Shanglu finally gained relative independence in his cell.
The disgusting and pungent smell of smoke finally faded to the point where he could no longer smell it after two hours. Jiang Shanglu, who was temporarily relieved, leaned against the cell wall alone for a while, and his slightly tired spirit would not be able to I can't hold on like this.
But now that he finally had time to calm down, Jiang Shanglu also discovered a rather strange place in the cell where he was being held. If you talk about it carefully, it may be that the temperature is obviously much higher than what should be in this season. So many degrees, even the room temperature that made the ceiling above his head condense water.
"pat-"
As if to verify the conjecture of Jiang Shanglu, who was looking up at the moment, a drop of water condensed on the ceiling fell not far from his feet. Seeing this, Jiang Shanglu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a strange feeling in his heart flashed by.
Because of his past experience, his five senses were weak, and he didn't respond much to specific temperature changes.
It is because the growing environment of poppies requires sufficient sunlight and dew, and Wen Ying is always asking him to read "Common Plant Cultivation Manual", "Plant Protection and the Environment" like Tang Seng, and so on. Let him spend the rest of his life growing and blooming books, so he, who has always been lazy, will usually passively start to pay attention to this kind of problem.
But Jiang Shanglu, who just started to get in touch with these things, is the same as the kind of people who have never worked in the field. Many times, they can't control the speed of planting themselves.
Either the water was too hot when I watered myself, or I was sunbaked in the garden for too long at noon. In short, I had a lot of strange oolongs, and he made me feel a little anxious afterwards. Ying directly said such a serious word to him.
"The temperature can't be too high, it can't be too humid, and it can't lack oxygen, otherwise it will rot. Lesions appear in this closed environment. Many microorganisms can make animals catch colds, get sick or even die. Of course, they can also make plants In this way, be serious and don't mess around."
What Wen Ying told him at the beginning seemed to be still in his ears, but Jiang Shanglu seemed to sense something was wrong. Obviously, the people in the search department were all implant-like human beings, and the growth environment that plants need is similar, but these people The temperature and humidity of these cells were adjusted very abnormally.
In such an environment where the temperature is too high, the moisture is too high, and there are even only a few cracks in the windows to barely ventilate, let alone ordinary plants, even plants that do not have high requirements for external conditions can survive in half a month. It can be infected with germs and completely rotted little by little.
And thinking in his heart like this, Jiang Shanglu, who seemed to understand what they wanted to cause, looked thoughtfully at the wound on his palm.
Because the environment is too humid, the wound that should have scabbed is still oozing blood. If it is not treated in time, this wound may cause some difficult problems.
But he had already disposed of the lit cigarette butt in the morning, and now he couldn't find anything else that could disinfect the wound.
So after thinking about it for a while, Jiang Shanglu stood up staggeringly and walked to the door. After sitting down against the door and knocking on the door with his palm, he yelled incoherently like a psychopath.
"Come here...give me a cigarette...I want to smoke...give me a cigarette..."
His voice is not particularly loud, but it is quite penetrating in the long corridor intermittently, because Fang Nong is about to leave to pick up Liu Changqing, so apart from some low-level researchers here today, the only one who delivered water to Jiang Shanglu that day The title of Zong Mingyuan is a little higher.
However, Fang Nong made a special statement before he left, if Jiang Shanglu asked for anything else, ignore him, but if he wants to smoke, just give him as much as he wants.
And maybe because of the mandala fleeing and killing people last time, these people are also more afraid of these dangerous plants, so after a long time, this time it was Zong Mingyuan who came to deliver cigarettes to Jiang Shanglu.
"Don't fucking yell at me anymore! Be quiet! If you don't obey me again, you will be like that girl next door! Do you hear me!"
Outside the small window, he cursed in a rough voice, and the young man named Zong Mingyuan casually took out his pocket after speaking, and then threw a pack of cigarettes and a lighter into it in annoyance, as if fleeing for his life away.
And looking at the lighter on the ground that was a windfall, Jiang Shanglu leaned over and picked it up and shook it slowly. He looked carefully at the lighter that still had half of the alcohol left in it. Put these things away quickly.
After sitting back in the corner at the far end, Jiang Shanglu, who was treating his wound, began to carefully recall what the young man said just now, and thought that there might be someone in the same situation as him living next door. Even for the more miserable little girl, his eyes became a little uncertain.
"what……"
The flame ignited with a lighter scalded the surface of his wound quickly. Even though he usually has a high degree of tolerance to pain, Jiang Shanglu, who was made to feel more delicate by Wen Ying during this period, couldn't help but frown. To some extent, his deliberately lowered voice was actually not loud, on the contrary, it was very weak.
But while he was acting on his own accord, Jiang Shanglu vaguely heard the sound of flying insects vibrating their wings. When his eyes cooled down and he glanced around, a small white The dot first appeared in the field of vision, but after the frowning Jiang Shanglu subconsciously tilted his head to try to avoid the flying insect, it finally stopped slowly at the mouth of his cochlea and remained motionless.
【Uncle, are you hurt?Why are you shouting? 】
A little girl's weak voice suddenly rang in Jiang Shanglu's ears. Jiang Shanglu, whose back was slightly stiff, raised his eyebrows for a while, but he didn't relax his vigilance and talk to the little girl immediately.
After all, in such an unknown environment, it is not a matter of being responsible for one's own life to casually reveal one's true situation to people who appear out of nowhere, and the little girl seems to think that Jiang Shanglu ignores her because the injury is more serious, He only spoke again anxiously and worriedly.
[Is it so painful that I have already spoken... Then you should ignore me... You should have a good rest... It's all the fault of those villains... Your voice is so beautiful, like when our teacher played the piano for us The voice, it sounds so good... I'm right next door to you... My name is Deng Tao... What's your name? 】
"........."
Jiang Shanglu's eyes changed slightly when he heard the name Deng Tao, because in the previous conversation, Fang Nong had indeed mentioned to him the carrier of the awakened plant gene named Deng Tao, and what Zong Mingyuan said just now also confirmed Deng Tao's name. Tao was staying next to him at the moment, but what he didn't quite understand was why this little girl could communicate with him through something like a flying insect, and Jiang Shanglu moved his lips slightly at that moment.
"Thank you, my name is Jiang Shanglu."
【ah!Did you hear that?You should still be awake, right, uncle? 】
Deng Tao's soft voice sounded taken aback, but she was obviously on the verge of crying with joy. Jiang Shanglu was a little infected by the little girl's excitement, so she lazily leaned against the wall and gave a thank you. Twitching the corners of his mouth, he asked her,
"You rely on this little bug to talk to me?"
【Well... it depends on this, but this thing is not a bug...】
"Then what is this?"
【………………】
Deng Tao on the other side suddenly fell silent, as if she didn't really want to answer Jiang Shanglu's question. Jiang Shanglu, who had quieted down with her, didn't ask any more. After all, it could be seen that this seemingly weird move was also something the girl needed to guard against. A very important secret, and just when Jiang Shanglu thought that Deng Tao would not answer his question, the little girl whispered in a helpless voice.
[Oh, forget it, for the sake of your voice, Uncle, I will tell you secretly, it is a year old, not a bug, those people think it is a bug, but it is not... Wait for it to kill you You should be able to know when it is a little bit mothed, Sui will tell you everything about us, it can help you talk secretly with our companions, and it can also help us kill others, so other people will I was very afraid of us... I was almost escaped by the year old and Aunt Suzhen... But I couldn't escape, and there was a very poor brother at the end of the corridor... He was crying every day, saying that he wanted to go back I went home to find my parents, but now he can't open his mouth to speak, I heard that his mouth is rotten...]
From Deng Tao's words, we can get fragmented information bit by bit. Because the child is young after all, many things are said upside down, which is not easy for people to understand, but there have been a total of four people including himself. The names of people who were definitely suspected of Shura were still registered in Jiang Shanglu's mind.
And thinking that the midge that Wen Ying had been searching for before was no accident to be the age that Deng Tao said, Jiang Shanglu frowned and was about to ask her what it meant to know when he was mothed a little bit, when he heard that The weird little girl said to him word by word in a creepy and plain tone,
[It's just the first day, those bad guys won't do anything to you, don't be afraid uncle... They always do this, first catch a plant, and then do like my former neighbor aunt bought fish from the market , put it in your own pot for a few days, and spit out dirty water for a few days. After they are sure that you can completely listen to them, they will kill you in this room, and then let you rot away slowly...]
[And because the room is very hot and stuffy, the years will grow out of your body very quickly, and you may be a little ugly by then, and your neck will be rotten, and your voice will not be as good as it is now... But it’s okay, Because at that time, we will become real companions, and I won't dislike you. Are you happier, uncle? 】
……
Wen Ying has been doing two repetitive things in less than two days.
Keep looking for Wen Tianming and continue to look for traces of the sacred tree species.
Although he had expected that Wen Tianming would not be willing to see him, but after he ran around the military office and Wen's mansion little by little, but was not even allowed to enter the gate once, Wen Ying went He began to guess what Wen Tianming probably knew.
After all, he and Liu Changqing had been in a difficult relationship for many years. At that time, Wen Ying hadn't gotten involved in this matter, so he naturally didn't know what the reason for the two people's enmity was.
But for this incident that happened this time, Wen Ying had to meet Wen Tianming in person, so in a relatively rational and patient way, he was still unable to see Wen Tianming face to face, and the relative whereabouts of the seeds of the sacred tree could not be found at all. At that time, Wen Ying went to Wang Zhimo directly on the afternoon of the third day, and added a sugar palm whose legs finally got better.
Then the four of them hid their license plates and followed a military vehicle whose license plate number was found by Mu Xiao. After 10 minutes, they finally got on together before the car was about to reach his destination. He knocked out the four senior non-commissioned officers in the car, and invited the stunned Wen Tianming out from the back seat of the car.
"You lawless bastard, are you crazy! Do you know what you are doing? I can directly revoke your military post right now, believe it or not!"
"what ever."
Talking to Wen Tianming has never had a good face. Wen Ying, whose eyes are flushed with tiredness, has not had a good rest these days. While busy with other things here, he has to pay attention to whether Jiang Shuhua has discovered that his second uncle is missing. thing.
The most important thing is that if the time continues to be so meaninglessly delayed, he is really worried whether Jiang Shanglu can hold on, whether he can wait for himself, and thinking of this, the tired Wen Ying forcibly calmed down, and raised his hand to signal Wang Zhimo and the others went to wait in the car first, and then took Wen Tianming, whose hands were tied behind the branches, to the side.
It's just that Wen Tianming, who is used to the usual general style, was so rashly treated by his son in a simple and rough manner that his mouth was trembling with anger, and Wen Ying was not interested in avenging his personal revenge at this time, so he sorted out his thoughts and decided to He asked directly.
"The military department has always known what Liu Changqing is doing, so you have not allowed me to investigate in the past few years, and even tried every means to suppress me. If you want to get rid of my position, you must stop me."
Wen Ying's question, Wen Tianming obviously didn't want to answer, he stared with a gloomy face as if he was sulking Wen Ying or himself, but he didn't want to give him any face, and he didn't have any father-son relationship with him Wen Ying waited for a while but didn't get the answer he wanted, so he spoke again.
"If you don't answer my questions again, I really don't have much patience."
"...What can you do if you are impatient? What the hell do you want to do? Do you still remember your own last name!! I stopped you so much at the beginning, but you didn't want to listen to me! Then you ran away Go get mixed up with that Liu Changqing inexplicably! You will never listen to me to say a word! Just like your mother who doesn't know what to say all day—"
Before Wen Tianming finished speaking, Wen Ying punched him. Wen Tianming, who claimed to be his father, never expected to live so long to be beaten so violently by his own son. He was dumbfounded when he lay on his back on the ground. , and for a while his eyes were red with anger, and he yelled angrily,
"Bastard! I'm your father! What are you doing now!"
"Then she is your wife, what were you talking about just now?"
Not as hysterical as him, Wen Ying was suppressing his anger. It was the first time in his life that he had a direct confrontation with Wen Tianming on this matter, and when Wen Ying asked him such a merciless question, Wen Tianming, who was originally upright, suddenly Then he became dumb, and for a long time he twitched the corners of his mouth and remained silent for a while, then looked angrily and irritably at Wen Ying standing in front of him from the corner of his eye, then slowly closed his eyes and said,
"...I've said it a long time ago, I won't allow you to investigate further."
"Why can't we check?" Wen Ying frowned and asked.
"Because... Liu Changqing has also been investigating this matter, which started earlier than you, probably more than ten years ago, but his purpose is completely different from yours, which is completely focused on medical research. A criminal act for the purpose, but the military department suffers from lack of definite evidence, and we have no way to convict him of any crime, and at the moment he is representing the current highest authority of the Dizhi Office. If your grandfather Xiao Ao is still in this position, it is absolutely It's not his turn, but it's a pity that sometimes the development of things is so helpless..."
"People who can maintain the greatest fairness and justice do not have that fate to survive. On the contrary, people who are easily influenced by selfish desires have gradually ascended to high positions. In recent years, it seems that the human military has been exercising the role of supervision and balance, but in fact many I can't express too many opinions on this issue, otherwise it would be easy to give people the feeling that higher animals are overstepping their powers and suppressing plant and plant-like human beings..."
"But I'm a soldier. I represent national security and honor. Although I'm a traditional depraved person. I'm mean and shameless. I'm unfaithful to my wife. I'm not good enough to my children. But that doesn't mean I Can’t take a position on this kind of thing.”
Speaking of this, Wen Tianming's expression was a bit complicated. He didn't seem to be deliberately defending what he had done in the past. Wen Ying didn't pay attention to his last irrelevant self-evaluation after listening to it, and only hurriedly asked a question. ,
"What do you mean by the purpose of medical research? What is the purpose of the search department?"
"At the beginning, the search department reported to the medical research unit, but there were no substantial results at the beginning, because at that time, there was no so-called awakened Shura in the whole country, and the information mentioned in the historical materials was simply nothing. There is no credibility, the military department has proposed several times to ban this department of unknown origin, but Liu Changqing has been having trouble with my old leader at the time and your grandfather on this matter..."
Wen Tianming's expression was a bit bad when he said this, as if he remembered something that happened many years ago, and hearing that Xiao Ao was actually on the side of Wen Tianming in this matter, Wen Ying was a little surprised Wen Tianming, who was frowning tightly, continued to say,
"The relationship between your grandfather and me has always been bad, because I treated your mother badly after marriage, and I didn't treat you well, but we maintain a relatively similar point of view in business affairs. On the premise of not endangering the safety of any plants, Don’t casually convict any plants of danger. Even if you find something, you will take rescue measures first and then make follow-up arrangements. Unfortunately, Liu Changqing doesn’t think so. During that time, he almost kept arguing with your grandfather and me, so It also gradually cut off the previous very warm contacts with the Xiao family. Later, your grandfather died, and his position was further promoted. He achieved his current position in a few years, and the first thing he did after taking office was The decision is to establish the largest headquarters of the Dangerous Plant Search Section in the labor base of Cangqing City and continue to use it for medical research beneficial to plants..."
Wen Tianming's last words were like a magical key, which somehow unlocked the origin of all events. Hearing his narration, Wen Ying stood motionless in front of Wen Tianming. The back looks extraordinarily thin and thin, which doesn't even match the vicissitudes of this age, and Wen Tianming closed his eyes after seeing this, and said slowly in a weary tone,
"I was involved in other things at the time, so I couldn't prevent this from happening, but in order to make him afraid of me, I restricted the transfer of military personnel and did not allow them to participate in the work of the Cangqing labor base. Jianjian, Liu Changqing contacted one of my opponents at the time to recruit soldiers for this matter... and I didn't even know that you also joined in..."
"You already know the final result. Your comrade-in-arms, the country's outstanding young soldier Ji Congyun was forced to awaken in Cangqing, and became the first Shura-like implanted human being awakened since the founding of the country, but you don't What I know is that Wen Ying, he is still alive, and those who want to find the common ground of awakening from him have continued to build the base, and in the similar underground environment, they have really created a man like Ji Congyun. Shura with the same characteristics... The person you are looking for is now in the headquarters of the search department at the bottom of the Cangqing Grotto without any accident... that place you may never forget for the rest of your life..."
"Ji Congyun... still alive?"
The shadow that he couldn't completely get out of in this life was brought up again, even if Wen Ying tried hard to forget it, he still couldn't forget that he killed him himself. Ji Congyun who was suffocated to death in the soil.
But now Wen Tianming, who obviously knows the inside story, actually told himself the unexpected truth so suddenly. Although Wen Ying never revealed it, her heart, which had been tortured and blamed herself, almost stagnated, and she forced herself to calm down for a long time. Wen Ying who came down finally asked slowly,
"Why... would you know these details."
Knowing that there is no way to hide this dull-looking boy who is actually more sensitive than anyone else, Wen Tianming is completely helpless if he leads someone to tie him up like this. He only thinks that he will have a meeting later and must not let people find out that his son is tied up like this. Lao Tzu's scandal, and after telling everything outright, Wen Tianming sighed helplessly and said,
"One of my subordinates was arranged by me to sneak into the search department. You may have seen him. I heard that you had a dispute with him when the Central China Angiosperm Conference was held. Yes, it is the one named Zong Mingyuan. He It was my instigation to deliberately trouble you before, and it was he who conveyed to me all the details about what happened in the search department, otherwise, why do you think Xiao Suzhen can run back to Y City from Cangqing so smoothly... As for the one you are looking for Man, what I can tell you now is that he is still a normal implant-like human being at this morning, and has not been awakened, but if you insist on going to save him, I can't stop you. Cooperate with your actions, but I can't personally stand up to support you, because I am not representing myself, but the position of the entire military department. If you fail, I will choose to abandon your son immediately, and quickly sever ties with you Save myself, have you thought it through yourself?"
This is quite unfeeling, but Wen Ying and Wen Tianming have never had a relationship, so Wen Ying didn't feel anything special after hearing it, and now that he has obtained the specific location of the search department, there is even a person who can give himself Absolutely helpful internal response, Wen Ying didn't have much to say to Wen Tianming, she just wanted to pick him up and take him back to the car to see him off.
It's just that when he walked up to Wen Tianming, Wen Tianming, who had been in a bad mood ever since he met him and saw his face, which was obviously different from the past because he had entered the growth period, suddenly asked him something. .
"You finally sprouted?"
"En." Wen Ying was expressionless.
"...So you really are a poinciana tree, aren't you?" Wen Tianming's face obviously changed strangely.
"...Is there any question?" Wen Ying looked at him coldly.
"No problem... It's just that your grandfather is a red cotton tree and your mother is a saffron. You never thought that I am a human being, but why are you a phoenix tree, Wen Ying?"
Wen Tianming's question made Wen Ying frowned in displeasure. He always felt that there was a strange hint in Wen Tianming's words, but his mother had taken the initiative to explain this to him many years ago. However, no matter how impatient he was, because Wen Tianming answered his own question just now, he still replied slowly,
"My grandmother is a phoenix tree, my mother said."
Hearing what he said, Wen Tianming's expression became even weirder. He had rarely had any father-son communication with Wen Ying in the past, but now that he had said everything, he didn't bother to continue to hide it, so now Wen Tianming sneered unbearably and said,
"Your mother has nothing to do except tell you these inexplicable things all day long. She is not your grandfather's biological daughter at all. Your grandfather has never been married in his life. Where did the grandmother of the Phoenix tree come from? She is Saffron So it’s hard to conceive, and it’s easy to miscarry when you get pregnant. Yes, it’s true that I’m sorry for her first, but she saw that I was unfaithful to her, just to get revenge. Me, a saffron and a human gave birth to a child of a species that is a woody plant, so she told me that this is me and her son, she really didn't lie to me, even if I am stupid, I don't want to be at the mercy of this... ..."
"To make you still follow my surname Wen, I have done my best to you and to her who I once loved, you know, my child?"
The author has something to say: Zong Mingyuan appeared before Chapter 10, and he did have conflicts with his second aunt.
Wen Tianming is a straight man with cancer, so he doesn't judge this person. The second aunt is his own, and he is a scumbag who is confident and has nothing to judge.
