Ice Soul Grass is also known as Soldier Soul Grass, but this is not the name of the herb, but the name of this grass by some insiders.

Decades ago, a special team of 30 people was secretly sent to a deep mountain as a death squad to find a mysterious town, which is said to be inhabited by a hermit master, and they received an order to bring back the high-ranking man, or bring back the body of the high-ranking person.

Out of loyalty to the organization, they have been wandering the mountains and forests for nearly two years in search of the town, but the deeper they go, the more unable to discern the direction, the team members gradually due to the lack of food and water, can no longer continue to hold on, but the captain is rejected when he asks for help from his superiors.

The soldiers once ran out of ammunition and food, but they desperately guarded the mountains and forests in the hope of completing the task, and the captain couldn't bear to see his team members suffering from illness, so he secretly sent a distress signal to his close friends in the army, but he didn't expect his friends to tell his superiors about this, causing the superiors to completely cut off contact with him and let their team fend for themselves in the mountains.

The climate in the mountains is changeable, the terrain is very complicated, and they are difficult to survive until winter, and there are no animals and plants in the mountains and forests......

It is said that in the end, only one of the 30-member team survived, and the captain survived by eating the grass covering his teammates' graves when he was dying in the ice and snow, and that kind of grass was called Soldier Soul Grass.

No one knows what the grass is for, but it does grow on the graves, and only the 29 graves.

Bai Hao suddenly remembered the story that his old man had told, he used to listen to it only as a story about loyalty being hacked, after all, he had followed the old man all day long to find strange things, and he had never seen any ice soul grass.

And today, when he heard the name again and saw this grass with his own eyes, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, and vaguely felt that the appearance of this grass was not just a coincidence!

But when he wanted to ask, the chef had already left the private room without him noticing.

"What's wrong?" Ye Wanying also frowned when she heard the name of the Ice Soul Grass, and Gu Xueyan couldn't help but look left and right in confusion when she saw the two of them suddenly becoming so dignified, and asked, "What's wrong with the two of you?"

"Do you know about the Ice Soul Grass?" Bai Hao was not interested in these things that had nothing to do with him in the past, but when the chef said the words 'Ice Soul Grass' just now, his eyes clearly made him feel that he should know!

Therefore, he decided to start with Gu Xueyan, after all, this store was definitely not casually pointed out by her!

But when he looked at Gu Xueyan, he found that Ye Wanying's expression was also very heavy, and her brows were furrowed into Sichuan characters, Bai Hao was sure that she also knew about the Ice Soul Grass, and she felt that there were more than one or two people who knew about this matter......! It's not a story, it's a real thing!

"I don't know. Gu Xueyan shrugged and said, "Few people say this story, and even fewer people know about the Ice Soul Grass. ”

"Even if there are few, you are one of the insiders!" Bai Hao sat down and looked at Gu Xueyan seriously: "I want to know how this story got out, and I also want to know what happened to that captain." ”

"When did that happen, more than sixty years ago, there was no me at that time, how could I ......know" Gu Xueyan said more and more in her voice, she suddenly found that once Bai Hao became serious, her eyes were as deep as if she could suck people in, which made her feel pressured when she was lying.

"Sue me. Bai Hao looked at Gu Xueyan, although he also wanted to ask Ye Wanying, but it seemed that Ye Wanying must not say anything at this time, because she not only had a solemn expression, but also didn't have her eyes at the same time, and it was useless to ask at this time.

"Oops......" Gu Xueyan snorted: "I knew I wouldn't have brought you to dinner...... I really regret not listening to my uncle's ......"

Bai Hao didn't ask who her uncle was, but looked at Gu Xueyan silently, what he wanted to express had already been said, and the rest was just waiting for Gu Xueyan to tell him.

"You should at least know that the death squad went to the mountain forest to find the ancient town, and their boss somehow heard that there was a hermit master living in that town. Gu Xueyan thought for a while and said, "I don't know who spread it, it seems that there are a lot of people who know it." ”

Bai Hao nodded, but did not interrupt Gu Xueyan's words, he just wanted to be a listener at the moment.

"No one told the members of the death squad that the magnetic field of the mountain was very strong, the general wayfinding equipment was useless, even the locals would not rush up the mountain, there was nothing on the mountain except for some small wild animals and vultures for a certain period of time, and there was less vegetation at the high altitude, so there was less to eat, especially in winter. ”

Bai Hao nodded, the place that could make the members of the professional death squad lose must not be an ordinary mountain forest, he could almost think of how they struggled to survive in the mountain forest.

"The winter there was very long, and it began to snow on the mountains from September, and it was not until May of the following year that it was a little warmer, but they went too far, and even if it was warm, they would not find anything to eat, and the team members began to suffer from the following winter, and they all died of lack of food and clothing, and their graves were not far away. ”

Gu Xueyan felt that what she said seemed to be a little too detailed, and she couldn't help coughing lightly and was about to say something else, but when she saw Bai Hao's eyes still serious, she couldn't help but purse her lips, not knowing how to continue.

"Go on!" Bai Hao couldn't help but urge.

This death squad was formed in secret, and there was not even a team name, and in order not to let others notice, the 30 members were all from different units and had never seen each other, and the position of captain was also directly selected by the superiors by virtue of military merits.

Although the captain felt that they had not cooperated with each other, which might affect his performance, his concerns were not answered, and his boss directly rejected his request to transfer others on the grounds that he was strong and did not need to worry.

Although they were grouped into a squad, none of them said their names, and they all used their code names for each other.

Until they died, the tombstones on the 29 graves were only engraved with the word 'soldier soul', and the grass covering the graves was also called "soldier soul grass".

"What about the captain?" Bai Hao saw Gu Xueyan pick up the teacup and take a sip of tea, so he frowned slightly and asked, "What happened to that captain?"

"It is said that the captain was sitting under a tree when he was rescued, and the snow was so heavy that the snow almost buried him, but the grass covering the grave was still green and fluffy, and he was not afraid of the cold, so the grass was also called 'Ice Soul Grass', which is quite magical, right? Gu Xueyan stiffly turned her words.

However......

"Who saved him?" Bai Hao's brows did not loosen, there was still a lot he wanted to know.

"It's the master they've been looking for, but after saving the captain, the master is gone, and no one knows where he's gone. After Gu Xueyan finished speaking, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I really don't know who that master is, and I really don't know where he went, I promise." ”

survived......

Bai Hao took a deep breath, he seemed to be able to think of the despair of the captain at that time, first he was rejected for help, and then he was betrayed by his friends, and then even his superiors didn't care about their lives or deaths, and finally watched all his teammates die in the mountains......

And he survived alone......

In fact, it is better for him to live than to die. The chef appeared silently at the door of the private room, holding a plate of hot dishes, slowly walked to the table, and put the dishes in front of Bai Hao: "Taste it." ”

"Only by living can there be hope, only by being possible!" Bai Hao did not agree with the chef's words.

"Not everything can be promising and possible. The chef frowned slightly, as if he remembered something, looked at the okra that had been cold, and said: "If a person only fails, then as long as he lives, maybe one day he can turn the situation around, but ......"

"But?" Bai Hao raised his voice, waiting for the chef to say his point.

The chef looked at Bai Hao, pulled out a faint smile and said, "But if what he has experienced is betrayal and death, then even if he lives for a long time, he is nothing more than a walking corpse, and the things he carries in his heart will always be there, and they cannot be resolved." ”

"What do you mean?" Bai Hao's brows furrowed again.

"I mean, I don't know how the captain managed to hold on. The cook paused and said, "You must know that no one can reverse a heart that wants to betray, let alone bring people back to life, no matter how strong he is, he still can't avoid the unpredictable hearts of people and the life that will eventually disappear." ”

"You've seen that captain, right?" Bai Hao's eyes suddenly became very sharp, as if he wanted to gain an insight, staring at the chef's eyes.

"I've never seen it. We were comrades-in-arms, and even begged my superiors to let me join the death squad. The chef suddenly laughed, but his expression was like crying: "The luckiest thing in my life is that I was not selected for the death squad back then!"

"Coward!"

"Thankfully, I'm cowardly. The chef regained his previous demeanor, and didn't care about Bai Hao's disrespect for him, but said indifferently: "If I hadn't restrained my edge everywhere back then, my tombstone must be the only one on that mountain with a name engraved on it." ”

Bai Hao frowned slightly, with mixed feelings, but suddenly stopped.

"If I had been buried on that hill too, that captain might have survived. The chef frowned slightly, as if recalling the previous events, and said: "A person who is loyal to his superiors but is too strong is not suitable to be anyone's soldier, and his superiors will always be jealous of his survival, even if he never thought of seizing power......

"What do you mean......" Bai Hao's brows furrowed slightly, and he felt that the second half of the chef's sentence meant that the mission was to eradicate the captain!

"That's what you think, Gong Gao Zhen Lord. The chef looked at Bai Hao and sighed halfway: "Even if his military merit medal is sold, he can make a lot of money......

After speaking, the chef leaned lazily on the back of the chair and watched, his eyes did not intersect, and such an expression ......

Bai Hao turned his head to look at Ye Wanying suddenly, only to find that the expressions of these two people were somewhat similar!
