Chapter 55: Back to Normal
Jiang Xiaozhai moved back to his chair and got up to pour a glass of water.
When the green snake heard the sound, it immediately opened its eyes and watched curiously as its owner walked up to the window and sat on the floating window sticking out. She leaned against the milky wall, turning her head casually, facing a pair of vertical pupils. She couldn't help but laugh: "Come on!"
"Hiss!"
The green snake swam down the wooden box, and as it approached the previous one, it retracted into her arms. Xiaozhai hugged it like a cat and asked, "How have you been doing in the last few days?"
"Hiss!"
"Oh, that's pretty customary. What a nice girl. ”
She patted him on the head. Yes, this is a female green snake.
Xiaozhai teased for a while, then looked out the window and slowly calmed down. Her shadow appears on the glass, accompanied by the cool moon and the warm lamp. She relied on it and seemed to have crossed two worlds.
A meter away from the window was a large table filled with scattered manuscripts and four documents. Each copy is a thick stack, marked with a red pen. The first reads 2200, the second reads 1794, the third reads 1056, and the fourth reads 589.
That's what time is all about.
Since most of the Taoist scriptures and ancient books of the past dynasties have been lost, these records are very fragmented and unsystematic. She chose one sentence here, and found another one there. Using the maximum amount of information she had at her disposal, she managed to sort out a clearer thread.
There are historical sources, legends, anecdotes and inferences. Especially after meeting Wen Gu, some new speculations emerged.
She was going to take the manuscript to White City to study with the guy. It does not deal with any specific laws and regulations. These are just some of the validation additions to the evolution of the gate.
Xiaozhai rolled up the snake and thought about it, and quickly drank a glass of water. She leaned down, pulled up her long arms, picked up her phone and sent a message: "How's it now?"
After about a few minutes, a few words came back: "Still in Guanshan." ”
“......“
She blinked and asked, "Are you with a friend?"
After a few more minutes, the other person said, "Well, I'm going to a party." There are too many people. ”
When she saw it, she stopped being bothered and just said "Good!"
After chatting for a while, Xiaozhai looked at the time, put down the green snake, and prepared to take a bath and sleep. It's going to be nine o'clock in the morning or evening. For many city girls, it's the start of the night.
But Xiaozhai didn't like it. In fact, the girl is very monotonous, referring not to life, but to spiritual consistency and joy.
Her life was very rich. She can also watch movies, listen to music, chase cartoons, or play billiards, plant flowers, shop, fish...... But that's all. She wouldn't have more investments and interests, let alone obsessions.
Just like back then, she braved the rain to go to the park to pick osmanthus flowers. There are only four words: do whatever you want.
"Wow!"
At 9:40 a.m., the sound of the water stopped. As soon as the bathroom door opened, the green snakes hovering at the door immediately coiled into a ball. Xiao Zhai spread her hair, nonchalantly mentioned her tail, and took it to the bedroom.
As soon as the snake hit the ground, it turned around and swam to the windowsill. The moon shone green. It has a rather strange beauty. She didn't look at the phone again, walked directly to the big bed, and said in the dark:
"Good night!"
"Hiss!"
......
The Zeng family's meeting began at dusk and lasted for more than 10 minutes. The gang will spend the night in the White City and return to Ascension tomorrow.
After the party, Lei Ziming drove Meng Gu home and expressed an appropriate surprise at the Phoenix meeting. This person looks straightforward, but in reality he is shrewd, but in general he can meet each other.
As he left, the four old men all gently motioned for a bottle of perfume. He's a bit of a tough guy to get along with, just saying he's been busy lately and probably doesn't have time.
The family was on the road and said they could bring it back at any time.
All four of them are human beings. We don't see what this gesture can do for a while. However, Wen Gu can think of some things, for example, he is slowly joining the circle, for example, his fragrance may be more famous...
If the five families of Zeng, Lei, Xiao, Zhang, and Sun had remained well-intentioned and decent, he would not mind further contact. All he wanted was resources for the team and some possible help. Of course, this is also mutual.
Frankly, is there wood at home?
......
After the party, a few days later, tensions in the White City gradually returned to normal.
On this day, the municipality finally held a press conference to present the situation of snake hunting in the closed mountainous area and the compensation for the five injured. Due to the high level of attention paid to the incident, many media outlets were present, and even provincial television stations were staffed.
The government also attaches great importance to it. The deputy mayor's name badge is displayed on the counter, showing the specifications of the scene. And the deputy mayor appeared, and the simple ceremony, according to the draft, began to read:
After the snake bite of Phoenix Mountain, the British Columbia government, the tourism board and the scenic spot management office all responded positively... After 10 days of mountain closure inspection, the effect is remarkable. On the basis of no casualties, the culprit was finally caught. Please take a look at it......"
As soon as the voice fell, a picture flashed on the big screen, showing the scene of a snake being killed.
“......“
A group of reporters stared at the photo, their hearts pounding and a constipated smile on their faces.
At first, the snake was clearly photographed. It's completely green and very beautiful. This one was bloody, half-buried in the grass, and could only be distinguished as a green snake.
But it doesn't matter, what people say is that the transportation fee will be in full anyway.
In fact, the leadership could not find it either. After ten days of searching in the mountains, he did not find it. He then asked the experts to study the snake before he came to the conclusion that it might not look good. Uh, it moved...
Leaders want stability, they don't need real results. After the experts have plucked up the courage to assure, they will resolutely lift the ban and reopen.
Of course, in order to highlight the results, we built such a small mountain village.
"The three injured tourists, after coordination and communication, reached a consensus standard of 100,000 yuan each. The two policemen who were injured were injured in the line of duty, and they were sent to the ...... of consolation money in one lump sum"
After that, the deputy mayor also reported on the treatment of the five injured, and the treatment was very different.
Throughout the press conference, it can be said that both sides knew that it was tacitly in sync. He was not given any chance to ask questions, and after a few hurried words, he announced the end.
There is no doubt that this announcement caused another wave of small storms. Many netizens doubted the authenticity of the snake, but it was useless. Both the government and the media insisted.
In addition, after Phoenix Mountain resumed receiving guests, there were indeed no accidents, and the snake seemed to be really dead.
