School gates.

Han Dong, who was wearing a blue and white school uniform, looked left and right.

He had just walked out of the fitness activity building, and with the martial arts student certificate in his pocket, he successfully passed the block of the security guard at the door.

"According to the information I checked at home, there is a monument in Suhe Park...... But that's not the most critical factor. Han Dong said secretly: "The most important thing is the ancient tree!"

"In Suhe Park, there are several ancient trees!"

Han Dong's eyes flashed with excitement.

He looked it up very clearly on the Internet...... Located at the confluence of two rivers, Suhe Park is an open park integrating ecology, leisure, and application functions, in other words, it is free.

Anyone can enter and exit the park, and even homeless people can relax in the park.

Han Dong walked to the bus stop at the school gate, waited for the bus, and thought secretly: "I have been there several times in my previous life, although my impression is vague, but the location of the monument and the area of those ancient trees can still be easily found. ”

Thinking about it.

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice, if his conjecture was correct...... It also means that the vast world is slowly unraveling. He doesn't have to look for antiques, and he doesn't have to spend money.

In every city, there are countless gray air currents waiting for him to absorb.

......

Inside Suhe Park.

Han Dong took bus No. 89 and took nine stops to finally arrive here.

As he walked briskly, he looked around: "According to my memory, the monument is at the main entrance...... Here it is!

He was secretly overjoyed.

In front of you stands a slightly quaint stone monument, which is enough to clearly see the years polished on the surface of the monument, smoothing out the edges and corners that should be distinct.

Bang bang bang.

Han Dong took three steps and two steps, walked to the monument, pretended to be emotional and curious, and gently pressed his right palm.

In an instant, he could clearly sense a trace of gray air flow inside the stone tablet.

Wandering.

Unpredictable.

Han Dong's mind turned: "Suck it!"

This gray and white air flow flowed out of the stone tablet like a waterfall and melted into Han Dong's body, making him energetic, and the fatigue and deprivation caused by the martial arts practice just now dissipated.

Ninth filament.

This is the ninth gray airflow!

"Okay! great!" Han Dong's eyes flashed, and his heart was surging: "In this Suhe City alone, there are countless gray air currents that can be absorbed!"

The mood suddenly brightened.

Everything that has a history of more than 100 years contains gray air currents...... Looking at the entire Suhe City, it can be said that there are ...... everywhere And the gray air flow can strengthen the body in all directions!

The interlocking circumstances made him ecstatic.

After a while.

Han Dong touched the monument and left the place with a little emotion, heading to the next target.

He secretly pondered: "At present, I have absorbed nine traces of gray airflow, but I don't know how many grades I can have? ”

"It's still too far away from martial arts. ”

"To verify the grade of martial arts...... Either sparring or testing martial arts equipment. It's a pity that I've been standing on the stake today. ”

Han Dong shook his head.

Even if you practice against martial arts students, you must pretend to be invincible, and you can't expose your full strength, otherwise you will be too conspicuous.

An ordinary student suddenly soared to the ninth grade, or even the eighth grade?

The ancients had a saying...... The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Heaps out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent. Walk above men, and the crowd will not.

"Keep it a secret for now. ”

"Before the college entrance examination, you must strictly guard your own strength. Han Dong secretly bowed his head: "Wait until you go to the university to participate in the martial arts test before being exposed." One is that I am far away from high school and have no familiar classmates and teachers, and the other is that after the college entrance examination, no one pays attention to the results of other students. ”

Thoughts are racing, but the steps are not stopping.

Han Dong walked along the river in Suhe Park to the depths of the park.

The river water here is clear, the willows on the bank are green, the curved bridges and pavilions are quite a bit of water and forest, and the elegance of reflecting each other, and occasionally you can see some athletes running along the river, as if matching Han Dong's mood, and the joy is even more enhanced.

......

A moment later.

Han Dong arrives at his destination.

Far from the park's river, there are a number of trees, five of which stand out...... Around it there are wooden fences painted with white paint, on which are hung signs indicating the age, type and so on of the old trees.

"Whew. ”

Han Dong took a breath, slowly walked to the nearest ancient tree, looked at the sign, and immediately understood that this ancient tree was one hundred and twenty-one years old.

He looked up.

The branches of this ancient tree are vigorous, full of wrinkles of time, rendering a sense of vicissitudes of time, and the middle part of the main branch still has fresh and tender branches growing and rejuvenating.

"The first plant!"

He poked out his right palm and touched the trunk of the ancient tree, waiting for the gray air currents to appear.

However.

Han Dong waited for a while, but still couldn't sense the gray air flow in the ancient tree.

"Huh. ”

Han Dong frowned suddenly, touched it several times unwillingly, and finally stared at the metal sign on the white-lacquered wooden railing, staring at the line of handwriting below - born in 1891.

Follow.

He experimented with the rest of the century-old trees, but none of them had gray airflow.

There are five trees that are more than 100 years old here.

According to the verification speculation, it should have sucked five traces of gray and white airflow, but there is no harvest at the moment, and there is no gray and white air flow in the ancient trees that are more than 100 years old.

"Not true. Thinking about it carefully, Han Dong couldn't help frowning: "I have obtained nine gray aircurrents before, and the commonality is a hundred years of history! This has been fully verified and is absolutely correct." ”

Belch.

Han Dong had a flash of inspiration, and his eyes were strange.

Don't...... These five ancient trees are not hundred-year-old trees at all, but an illusion deliberately created by Suhe Park in order to promote its reputation!

The so-called century-old trees are nothing more than the characteristics of ancient trees that are extremely similar in appearance.

"It must be so. ”

Han Dong secretly bowed his head.

That's right.

An old man in formal clothes sitting on a wooden chair next to him accosted, "Son, are you interested in trees? He saw Han Dong touching the ancient trees in turn, thinking that Han Dong was interested in these, and couldn't help but say.

Han Dong turned his head and said, "Well, I prefer things with historical background." ”

"History? The old man was happy, obviously surprised by Han Dong's serious appearance, and couldn't help but sigh: "These ancient trees have only experienced a long time... And it is very tenacious, and it continues to grow until a hundred years later, for us to appreciate the vicissitudes of time after polishing. ”

He said a few words to himself, then put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly.

Silent for a long time.

Quiet atmosphere.

Han Dong stood next to the last ancient tree, a little stunned: "Growth, living, because these ancient trees have life, so they can't perceive the gray air flow in them?"

"If these ancient trees were not on the surface, they would have been noticed by tourists. ”

Han Dong squinted.

The more I think about it, the brighter my mood becomes.

As for the conditions for the existence of gray air currents, he had only just made a preliminary judgment, how could he be blind and stubborn.

"One of the conditions for the existence of gray air currents、100 years of history。 ”

"Gray air currents are difficult to perceive factors, have life. ”

Han Dong muttered a few words secretly, touched the ancient tree again, and then walked around the park briskly to see if he could find anything else with a hundred years of history.

......

Night falls, inside Han Dong's house.

Shh

Han Dong held the soup bowl and drank the kelp pork rib soup.

This is the soup he was almost tired of drinking in his previous life, but at this moment, it is like tasting the delicious food of the world, and there is no longer the slightest impatience, only a feeling of emotion.

"Brother, brother!"

Xiao Qian, who was carved in pink, stretched out her little hand and grabbed Han Dong's arm...... Her delicate palms are baby-white, and her skin is as white as the first snow.

She stared at the soup bowl that Han Dong was holding.

Obviously, it's not good to be greedy, and you have to share delicious food with your brother Han Dong. But every time she drank pork rib soup by herself, she was listless and tasteless. Maybe only by grabbing food with Han Dong can she arouse her greed.

"Xiaoqian also wants to drink ......"

"Brother......

Xiao Qian pouted, looking at the soup bowl pitifully, her big bright eyes full of longing, as if she had seen the most delicious and delicious food.

Han Dong couldn't help laughing, and hugged his sister Xiaoqian very softly.

"Wow! Brother is so good to Xiaoqian!"

Xiao Qian was very happy, standing on Han Dong's lap, holding the soup bowl happily with two little hands, and moving it in front of her little by little, her little head was about to hang down to taste the deliciousness.

Then.

"Just drink a little less. Han Dong said softly: "You still have to sleep later, if you eat too much, your little belly will become swollen." ”

"Bulging?"

Xiao Qian's two little hands suddenly froze on both sides of the soup bowl.

There was a hint of hesitation in her bright eyes, the food was in the front, and her brother was in the back...... She hurriedly turned her head to look at Han Dong and said weakly, "What does a bulging belly look like?

Han Donglian said: "Xiaoqian has played with balloons, probably like balloons." ”

！

Xiao Qian's hesitant demeanor froze for a moment, and then gradually became afraid, Xiao Nen's mouth muttered a few times, and she actually cried out with a wow.

"Wow!"

"No, Xiaoqian don't become a balloon, woo woo woo ......" Xiao Qian cried rarely, her little shoulders trembled, she shrank in Han Dong's arms, her little hand pushed the soup bowl, but her trembling little hand couldn't push the soup bowl: "The balloon will explode, it will explode if you poke it, Xiaoqian don't explode ......"

Han Dong was stunned.

said casually, and actually scared my sister Xiaoqian into tears.

"Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian......" Han Dong hurriedly hugged Xiao Qian, away from the white soup bowl, quite in a hurry.

Click.

Mom and Dad who were discussing the supermarket in the bedroom opened the door...... Chen Shu hurriedly walked to the sad and crying Xiaoqian and asked, "What's wrong?"

Han Dong briefly recounted it.

Mother Chen Shu laughed, took Xiaoqian, and comforted her gently.

"Woo ah...... " Xiao Qian cried extremely sadly, staring at Han Dong with big eyes, and waving her little hand twice: "Bad brother, you are a bad brother......

Chen Shu coaxed Xiaoqian while crying and laughing: "Okay, Xiaodong." You go back and study hard, don't delay you. Xiaoqian, this kid always likes to pester you, it's okay to be scared...... But she forgot about it when she slept. ”

"Good. ”

Han Dong said a word and looked at Xiao Qian.

I saw Xiao Qian's white and tender face, with tears on her face, tilting her head and not looking at Han Dong at all, looking pitiful.

"Akane. ”

Han Dong pursed his lips, said a few words to his parents, and returned to the bedroom to start studying...... And his learning content is not the knowledge of the college entrance examination, but the martial arts pile gong and anode pile!
