Chapter 283: Demonic Barrier
After Zheng Si came back, he quickly forgot about the orchids on the balcony, and at first he didn't think about how to give the orchids to the old man Lan, so he left it alone, and only Jiao's mother watered the small pot of orchids on weekdays. Until one day, Old Man Lan came to the door to ask.
Old man Lan ran into Gong Qin when he was walking after dinner, and when he was chatting, Gong Qin said something he encountered when he went out to travel some time ago, for her, it was a very interesting thing for a cat to pull out an orchid and let it come and go, but under Ermao's instructions, she didn't mention it outside, and in front of Old Man Lan, it was because the two of them talked about flowers and plants, and accidentally said that he missed his mouth, so Old Man Lan was curious and went directly to the fifth floor.
Jiao's family is only Jiao's mother at home at the moment, Xiaoyuzi was called by her classmates to help tutor the competition questions, Jiao Yuan went to play ball with his friends, and Jiao's father was still busy.
When Jiao's mother saw Professor Lan, who was panting heavily, she hurriedly poured a glass of water, for fear that something would happen to this old man.
"What's wrong, Professor Lan?" After getting acquainted with it, Jiao's mother was not as afraid of Professor Lan as before, and her words were much more casual, but when she saw Professor Lan like this, she couldn't help but worry, and the first thing that came to mind was: Is your cat in trouble? Did you gnaw on other people's precious flowers?
If Zheng Si knew what Jiao's mother was thinking, it was estimated that she would die of grievance. It's all the sheriff's thing.
Climbed up to the fifth floor in one breath, or climbed in a hurry, the old man Yilan's body was inevitably tired and panting, his throat hurt, after drinking the water, he was much better, and he didn't rest, and asked directly: "Black Charcoal brought back a pot of orchids a few days ago?" ”
I didn't expect this to happen. Jiao's mother immediately felt much more relieved, and took the old man Lan to the balcony to see the pot of orchids.
"This is it." Jiao's mother pointed it out to Old Man Lan.
Zheng Si accompanied Xiaoyuzi out of the house, and then walked outside and came back, as soon as he entered the door, he heard that the old man Lan was irritable there, and suddenly remembered the miserable appearance of the pot of orchids on the balcony, with his understanding of the old man Lan, the stinky old man would definitely go crazy. Therefore, Zheng Si hesitated whether to exit the door and go outside for a walk, but when he thought of being at home, he didn't know if he could withstand Old Man Lan's stinky temper.
Never mind. It's always something to face.
Zheng Si walked in the door. I went to the door of the room and took a look, and I was caught by the old man Lan who turned around.
"Black charcoal! You come over to me!! Old man Lan shouted.
Jiao's mother was hanging again, and she couldn't help but worry.
Zheng sighed and walked to the balcony.
"Did you gnaw on this leaf?! No, there are no signs of gnawing...... Did you break this leaf?! Ah. How can it be so! It's not okay to go on like this......" When it comes to the back, I don't know if I'm criticizing Zheng Si or criticizing the person who planted flowers.
Jiao's mother stood beside her with an embarrassed expression. In fact, she really wanted to say that it was just an ordinary orchid. As for such a fuss? But thinking of Old Man Lan's temperament, he still held back.
Zheng Si felt that Old Man Lan was possessed by mania in an instant, and his speech was illogical. revolved around the pot of orchids that were tossed miserably, and his words and deeds revealed his distress for this pot of flowers, as if he had dug up a piece of his meat.
Zheng sighed in his heart, although the old man was distressed about the pot of orchids that the sheriff gnawed, he didn't see him distressed like this, which shows the weight of the variety of iron bone in the heart of the old man Lan.
When Old Man Lan's "manic symptoms" decayed, the old man seemed to have made a decision.
"I'll help you raise this pot of flowers for a while and then bring it over." Old man Lan said to Jiao's mother, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Zheng Si.
Jiao's mother also looked at Zheng Si, and then said to Old Man Lan: "No problem, you can take it...... I'll move you down. ”
"It's okay, I can still move such a small pot of orchids." Blocking Jiao's mother's hand that came over to help move it, Old Man Lan moved the flower pot by himself, and when he left, he also "hummed" at Zheng Si.
After Jiao's father came back in the evening and learned about this, he didn't have any opinion on Old Man Lan moving the flowers away, anyway, he was not a person who could raise flowers, and raising flowers was also a science, and Professor Jiao was not very proficient in this knowledge.
"I'm just worried about the black charcoal, didn't Ermao downstairs say that this flower was found and brought back by the black charcoal?" Jiao's mother said.
"Don't worry, black charcoal doesn't make a fuss, you know, if a cat really wants to protect its food, others can't easily snatch things from its mouth. In the same way, if you really care about the pot of flowers and want to put them at home, the black charcoal will definitely protect it without leaking, just like its private money. Obviously, Jiao's father knows Zheng Si better.
After Old Man Lan moved the flowers down, Zheng Si rarely saw Old Man Lan for a few days in a row, and he didn't see Old Man Lan going downstairs to brag with his old friends when he went out for a walk after dinner on weekdays. Zheng Si happened to hear those old professors talking about Old Man Lan and said that Old Man Lan has recently become a demonic obstacle, just for a pot of broken flowers with a market price of only a few dozen yuan or even cheaper.
When he walked back and went upstairs, Zheng Si saw the door of the old man Lan on the third floor open, so he walked in.
In the house, Mrs. Zhai was sweeping the floor, and when she saw Zheng Si, she immediately smiled on her face, beckoned to Zheng Si, and motioned for Zheng Si to go in and play.
With Old Lady Zhai here, Old Man Lan won't go bernic, so Zheng Si doesn't have to worry about poking Old Man Lan's manic point after the old man is mad.
Old man Lan was flipping through the book with reading glasses in the study, and at the same time recording something in a notebook, whispering in his mouth, not knowing what he was talking about, Zheng Si didn't hear clearly, and he didn't understand what the words he heard clearly meant.
After sweeping the floor, the old lady sat on the sofa to rest, and saw Zheng Si standing at the door of the study and peeking in, and called Zheng Si in a low voice, asking Zheng Si not to disturb Old Man Lan, and then patted the sofa next to her.
Zheng Si jumped on the sofa and sat down next to Mrs. Zhai, listening to the old lady's whispering.
"Alas, black charcoal, what kind of orchid did you say you brought back? The old man has been studying for a few days, and recently he has been talking about this in his sleep and dreams, and he has been in the study all day long. I forgot to eat, I had to call him every time, I had to force him to come over to eat, and I had to urge him to sleep. ”
The old lady didn't blame Zheng Si for anything, she just expressed her feelings, anyway, similar situations have happened a lot before, decades of old husbands and wives, old lady Zhai knows a lot about old man Lan.
Zheng Si's heart moved, listening to the old lady's words, the orchid was really different. Zheng Si can find the difference because he sees the flowers, smells the smell, and the smell on the leaves is also one of the ways to identify it, but can people distinguish and judge the difference between the leaves by smell? Based on Zheng Si's understanding of these old professors of science and engineering, they should be looking for more and more direct evidence, so the biggest possibility is that Old Man Lan saw the difference from those grass leaves, or saw the difference in roots when changing flower pots?
Anyway, Zheng Si didn't have that ability, and even a few old people in Pei Liang's family didn't find out. It can only be said that this is the real expert.
Zheng Si was listening to the old lady talking, when he saw three old men coming in at the door. It was the old professors who lived in the compound and often chatted with Old Man Lan.
"Lao Lan, have you researched anything?" An old man with a loud voice shouted into the study.
"What are you yelling about?!" Old man Lan took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, stood up and walked to the living room, and raised his eyebrows after seeing Zheng Si lying on the sofa, and didn't say anything, and asked a few old men who came in, "If you have something to say, just leave quickly, don't disturb me." ”
The three old men had already adapted to Old Man Lan's way of speaking, and they were not angry, and sighed at Zheng with a smile: "Black charcoal, hurry up and go over and nibble on the pot of orchids of Old Lan, and I will give you a bowl of small yellow croaker if you nibble on a leaf." ”
The other two old men were not left behind.
"I'll give you two bowls."
"With me, I'll give you two bowls for nibbling a leaf, so that you can make five bowls. Black charcoal, on! ”
Zheng sighed: "......" on your uncle!
An old man wandered around, looked at the pot of orchids, and then looked at the other pots of iron bones, came back and shook his head, "I really don't know what you're struggling with, aren't they all the same?" ”
"Anyway, I look the same." Another old man also said.
"Hey, will it bloom next year? This makes the difference. The third old man asked.
Old Man Lan glanced at them, "Next year?" Hmph, if you want to be beautiful, just this pot of flowers, to say the least, you have to raise it for three or four years before it can bloom, maybe longer. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Si instantly wilted. In vain, he was still full of expectations, knowing that this was the case, it was better to dig up the flowering plant, just in order to save effort for a while, and wait for a long time, this time is not yet an exact number, maybe it will be difficult to open for ten or eight years. That's when the ghost remembered this pot of orchids.
However, Zheng Si's wilting strength came and went quickly, anyway, he was not particularly interested in this, he was just very curious about the flower, and he always felt that the flower was a little unusual.
No matter how the old professors, who are basically illiterate in their own profession and are good at orchids, hurt the old man Lan, the old man just has a stinky face, and he doesn't really care about anything with these "illiterates", it's boring.
It was impossible for Old Man Lan to ask Zheng Si anything, he knew that he couldn't ask from a cat, so he had gone to the door to find Ermao a few times, and asked about the details of the environment in which this flower grows, but unfortunately, Ermao didn't know anything. After looking through the information at home for a few days, Old Man Lan didn't find much useful information, and now he is counting on raising these two seedlings well, and if they can bloom, they will be closer to the truth.
After discovering the suspicions on the orchid leaves, the old man Lan decided to raise these two seedlings for a few more years until they bloomed, and yesterday he went to discuss it with Professor Jiao, Professor Jiao waved his hand sharply, you don't have a psychological burden to continue to raise it, we are also a waste at home.
Zheng Si no longer stayed on the sofa to listen to these old men's nonsense, went out to go downstairs for a walk, and didn't walk a few steps when he heard a "click" sound from the access control on the first floor, and then two people walked up. One is Ermao, and the other is also familiar with the sound.
Soon, Zheng Si met with the people who came upstairs.
Yo, isn't this the "beast" brother? What did the "beast" brother do when he came to Chuhua City from Mingzhu City?
However, the "beast" brother is not in a good state.
When Zheng Si looked at Qin Tao, Qin Tao also saw Zheng Si.
"Brother Cat, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you!" (To be continued.) )
