This time he didn't get a cold reception at the door, and soon the smart fence was automatically opened, Tang Lin observed that no one came out, he raised his legs and walked inside, there was a small garden inside, full of flowers and plants, and it could still be tenaciously green and open in winter.

There are always some special varieties of flowers and plants, which not only do not fear the cold, but on the contrary, they will bloom the most beautiful flowers in the cold wind. Tang Lin couldn't help but stop and observe, now there is a richer spring atmosphere, so the winter flowers and plants are like girls who have taken off their thick winter clothes, without bloat and suffering, showing a new green that is completely different from winter.

Suddenly, Tang Lin found a cactus that seemed to be managed by no one next to him, and the flower pot was not as gorgeous and generous as the rest, as if no one cared about the wild child and the ugly child, so he casually found a plastic flower pot and planted it in.

Then it was never taken care of again, and the rest of the flowers and plants were well managed at a glance, often loosening the soil, fertilizing, watering, and pruning. But the cactus never seemed to be managed, the soil inside was cracked, the cactus itself was not washed and trimmed, it was covered with dirt, and the pots were leaning crookedly against the corners.

Tang Lin instinctively walked over, straightened the pot, and moved it outwards to let it see the sunlight. The cactus is a desert plant, it is very drought tolerant and tenacious, if you water it too often, it will not grow very well, and he prefers sandy soil to fertile soil.

And the pots are obviously all loess, otherwise they would not have cracked because they dried up. Tang Lin wondered for a while, why did the owner here know so much about flowers and love flowers, but he was so right about a cactus?

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and an old man with thinning hair walked out of it, Tang Lin's attention suddenly shifted from the cactus to the old man, he couldn't have imagined that it was him!

The old man looked at Tang Lin very indifferently, not surprised at all, because it was him who was waiting here, but Tang Lin subconsciously looked back through the old man, but no one came out, did the old man not come out or did not come at all?

The old man actually introduced him, what was his purpose?

But the old man wouldn't give him the answer directly, he had to guess and deal with it himself.

The old man smiled kindly, not to get to the point, but suddenly talked about the cactus that Tang Lin had just noticed, "You don't usually raise flowers, do you?" In fact, raising a cactus can't be called raising, but taking it back and putting it wherever you want, wind, sun, rain, frost and cold, let it go! ”

Tang Lin listened quietly and didn't speak, usually he didn't speak at such times. His sniper's habit is to observe first, carefully and comprehensively without leaving dead ends, and then wait for the best time to shoot.

If he is not sure, he will never make a move, if he is not sure, he would rather give up this opportunity, he would rather lurk and hide again, and then continue to observe, quietly waiting for the next opportunity.

So he instantly calmed down and quieted down, which surprised the kind old man a little, because although this kind of bearing was also available in officialdom, what Tang Lin showed was completely different.

The silence and indifference above the officialdom are generally unfathomable, and no one knows what this person is thinking and planning inside. But the kind of silence that calmed down in Tang Lin's body in an instant made people ignore him immediately, although he was obviously standing in front of you, you didn't seem to notice this person at all, as if he was invisible all of a sudden. And for a wise man like the kind old man, although he still paid attention to the situation in front of him, then he felt something even more terrifying. His silence is only on the surface, he is actually a cheetah that is ready to pounce on the hunt at any time, if he does not attack, he will definitely bite the neck of the prey, and he will not die!

However, no one knows when he is going to make a move, and no one even knows if he is going to make a move this time, because his face is full of silence!

The old man was excited in his heart, such an interesting young man is no wonder that the old general Huang Xingye will take a fancy to it, no wonder, no wonder. Huang Lao's eyes are really poisonous!

However, he still did not change his original intention, and still talked about cacti with Tang Lin, without any superfluous curiosity and questions.

"Cacti mostly grow in arid environments. Some can even grow to more than 10 meters high, weighing 20,000 or 30,000 catties, standing majestically, very spectacular. Some of the thorny cactus, some of which have a lifespan of more than 500 years, can grow into giant balls with a diameter of two or three meters, and people split the upper part of it to dig up the tender and juicy stem flesh to quench their thirst and hunger. ”

"Many people now know that cacti also have a special ability to go into a dormant state without eating or drinking during the dry season, minimizing the consumption of nutrients and water in the body. When the rainy season comes, they "wake up" very sensitively, and the root system immediately becomes active, absorbing a lot of water, so that the plants grow quickly and flower and bear fruit quickly. Some cacti have carrot-like roots that can store seventy or eighty catties of water. ”

"I once wrapped a cactus in a dry paper bag for more than two years, and although it was a little wrinkled, one went into a pot, watered and quickly grew new roots and regained growth, and this is what you see now. So now you should know, why did I just turn a blind eye to it? It has strangely shaped stems, bright flowers, and the strange shape of the cactus with sharp spikes makes people daunting, but the flowers they produce are extraordinarily delicate and colorful. The 'Queen of the Moonlit Night', the "short-lived" epiphany, etc., are actually just cacti with ugly limbs. ”

The kind old man talked a lot about cacti, and Tang Lin listened quietly, but in the end he became interested in the Queen of the Moonlit Night and the Epiphany. Obviously, whether it is the ignorance of the cactus in front or the seductive flowers of the Queen of the Moonlit Night in the back, the short-lived and shocking miracle is born, which is a hint at his situation and future.

Tang Lin raised his head, his gaze steady, "Hehe, Mr. Peng, if you throw this cactus casually, it may always be an ugly and piercing cactus that no one pays attention to." It's just that now that I think about it, my watch at the Dong'an Club the night before yesterday really made the teacher laugh! ”

The kind old man who came out of the door turned out to be the current president of Jiujing University, Peng Guoxing of Taishan Beidou in the academic world of Huaxia!

The kindness and kindness on Peng Guoxing's face were by no means pretended, especially when he faced Tang Lin, "Tang Lin, the generals of the Jiangmen are all advocating loyalty to the country without fear of death." But the phase door is different, the phase door generally likes to strategize and win thousands of miles away, and at the same time, the phase door also pays attention to fate, so I pay more attention to the eye. You are also fated to the Peng family, and you accidentally met my daughter and grandson, and met me by the Weiming Lake in Beijing University, and it was not a passing by. Hehe, even my old man finds it interesting! ”

Tang Lin smiled, smiling very freely and happily, "Hehe, Mr. Peng, you are still missing, Professor Peng Xiaoping is now my law teacher, and I recognized the wrong person in class in the morning." ”

Peng Guoxing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled reassuringly.

"Well, young man, come in with me, at least I've decided to let you in!"
