Twenty Heart Knots
For safety, we stayed at Sister Yue's house at night.
After eating, we came to a large garden, the landscape is compared with the Suzhou garden, it is very rare to be able to retain such a large courtyard in Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty. Jiu Ye convened a meeting of the old people in the family, the conference room looked small, located in a heavy eaves hilltop building by the water, which is a relatively high-level architectural form in ancient Chinese architecture. After a while, a lot of people came, and at first glance, they were all respectable characters, some of them were fierce and evil, some were kind and kind-eyed, some were in suits and leather shoes, and some were looking at the boss of the underworld with ink. Brother Dong was busy contacting the computer and letting his grandfather participate in the video, which was equivalent to the two families discussing together.
I was about to walk into the conference room, but I was blocked out of the conference room, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Mengchao is not allowed to enter, this is the order of the Ninth Master." Just as I was thinking about theorizing, Sister Yue grabbed me.
Seeing that she shook her head, I had no choice but to give up. They turned and walked out of the courtyard, and Dusty Wind and the others all went in.
I scratched my hair in frustration, anyway, this is something that concerns me, I walked around anxiously outside, and suddenly stopped, could it be, am I still being treated as a monster now? What are they afraid of me hearing? The more I thought about it, the more messy it became, and I went out into the garden.
The garden of the Yuejia family is so beautiful, the moonlight shines in the pond, which makes people feel a little poignant. I sat in a small pavilion and saw a small glass jar containing fish food, so I poured the fish food into the water to feed the fish, the fish disturbed the calm water, the water surface was sparkling, I looked at the empty jar in my hand, and instantly seemed to realize something, and stood up.
If it's a container, it must be for something, but if the contents are gone, the container is useless. This thought exploded in my mind, if everyone is trying to protect me now for some purpose, will I end up like this jar and become useless, and will be abandoned! I looked at the empty jar reflecting a cold glow. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, no wonder they didn't let me participate in the meeting.
"Xiaocao, what are you doing?" Brother Dong's cry brought me back to my senses, and the three of them walked over. Because of the thought I just had, I saw that they were a little scared now, and I knew that my eyes must have been full of fear as well. Do they really think of me as a friend? Is it on my side? I couldn't be sure, so I subconsciously took a step back. And they stopped when they saw me.
"Xiaocao, what's wrong with you? Tomorrow we will talk to John, the family will support us, although a few old men are stubborn, but we will find a way. Sister Yue said helplessly.
"What will happen to me in the end, will I die?" But they didn't speak, "Speak, is what John said true?" I'm going to die, right? β
"Xiaocao, what nonsense are you talking about, everyone doesn't know what will happen in the end." Brother Dong said anxiously and was about to move forward.
I was also in a hurry, and smashed the empty glass jar to the ground, and there was a bang, and the broken glass splashed in an instant, and I yelled, "Don't come here!" I want to be quiet for a while! "I feel like I'm running the limit of my sanity.
So the three of them left silently, and for some reason, watching them leave, my heart was even more empty. I crouched in the pavilion, my hands clutching at my hair, helplessness making me feel like I was in the dark. It's really painful, I want to call my parents, but I don't know how to say it. I can't say that I'm going to die, and I'm extremely upset. Gradually, my consciousness began to blur, and the scene in front of me was no longer clear, and the woman in the dream seemed to begin to appear, flickering and walking around me slowly, looking at me as I went. The next thing I felt was lying on the ground, and I didn't know anything about it.
ββββββββ-
It wasn't until I opened my eyes again and saw that I was already in the room, and when I raised my eyes again, I suddenly saw Brother Dong, Sister Yue, and Dusty Wind staring at me, and I found myself crawling on the sofa in a very feminine and weird position, but I was holding Dusty Wind's knife in my hand and resting my head on it. I sat up, "What's wrong with me?" β
"I said that the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary," Sister Yue touched her chin and looked at Brother Dong and said.
Brother Dong looked at me with wide eyes and said, "Xiaocao, what are you doing in the dusty room in the middle of the night?" Still sleeping with a knife clutched? β
I? I'm running in the dusty room? I suddenly looked at Dustwind, who crossed his hands over his chest, raised his head, and stared at me with disdain.
"I, I don't know, that, it could be that female ghostγγγγγ" I said it myself with a weak heart, thinking that I doubted them yesterday, lost my temper, and made a fool of myself today.
"The knife is mine." Dusty Wind said lightly, and went to wash.
"I said Xiaocao, that, we're two iron buddies, you tell me honestly, you haven't been able to have a girlfriend, isn't it your γγγγγγorientation?" Brother Dong asked seriously.
"I rely on your uncle, Liu Dong, I'm a pure master, okay, you try again." It was so annoying that I picked up the sofa cushion and smashed it, and Brother Dong scurried around like a monkey, shouting as he ran:
"Xiaocao, your choice brother supports, as long as you are happy, what do you want, my brother will help you introduce it. Don't, I'll go, don't fight, we'll leave to see John in a moment. β
Damn, what's this called?
Watching Brother Dong giggle and run away, a trace of warmth rose in my heart, maybe I really thought too much. Sister Yue patted me on the shoulder and said,
"Xiaocao, how much money do you have?"
"I, I've got a few hundred left." I scratched my ears and reported all the money. Thinking about the time when I was in a hurry to come to Guizhou and bought a full-price air ticket, what a loss.
Sister Yue looked at me incredulously: "Then don't worry, you still owe the ninth master five million flower pots." He won't let you hang up easily. With that, she walked out.
Million??? I was petrified in place and felt a little messy.
The place where we made an appointment was a villa on the outskirts of John, saying that it was a villa, and when we went in, we found that it was like a laboratory, with a lot of computer equipment and even chemical experiments.
John showed us around and said, "Our equipment here is arguably state-of-the-art. If you cooperate, it should be the wisest choice. Saying that, he led us to a platform, and there was actually a black hole stone in the glass cover, I looked at it in surprise, and then looked at Brother Dong. Brother Dong also glanced at me and whispered, "My piece is still there, this should be another piece." Dusty Wind was also staring at the black travertine, and he put his hand on the glass, his eyes like he was looking at something cute. Why did he have those eyes?
Then John came up to me and said:
"The failures you saw in Changbai Mountain came from this stone."
My heart suddenly tightened, and my mind thought of the man-eating monster again. He looked at John in surprise and said, "You mean I'm going to be like that, too?" β
John smiled wryly and said, "According to our research, this stone has the ability to choose its own container. To this day, we still can't crack its life code. If you force it to be containerized, it will become a failure that you have seen. β
John raised an eyebrow, glanced at the stone in regret, then looked at me again, and continued:
"But I don't know what you'll become in the end. But as a container, your job is to collect photons. You've collected one, and our goal is the next photon. John looked at me with a smile, but his hand flicked a switch, and a screen slowly appeared in front of us.
Following the direction he pointed, I saw the parchment on the screen, which was magnified several times, and he was referring to a place that looked like the ruins of an ancient city, with a bowl-like thing drawn next to the ruins, and the white dot was in the bowl. This white thing must be the photon that John said. That is, the glowing point we see in the tomb?
"That glowing thing is called a photon? What's the use of collecting this photon! I looked at John wary.
"Of course, it's for science, otherwise why would we do so much research?" John's face was rightly deserved.
"We've been working on this project since we dug up the seeds in Egypt 10 years ago, and from some of the inscriptions in Egypt, we know that these photons contain a very great power and may bring new innovations to the global knowledge level. Now, with your presence, we can say that we are one step closer to success. John looked at me as he spoke, and it felt like he was looking at a monster, and I was uncomfortable avoiding his gaze.
"Your name is Mengchao, right, do you need a blood transfusion to recover every time you fall ill?" John asked.
I looked at him in amazement, "How do you know?" β
John smiled, "The seed chooses you as a container, then it will definitely transform you into a more suitable container, and the iron atoms will cost a lot." β
I couldn't understand what he said, so I stood there.
Brother Dong suddenly shouted, "I said, why are you so rude, what container is not a container, I don't feel good when I hear it... β
Sister Yue interrupted Brother Dong's words. "John, tell me, how are you going to work together?" She asked so decisively, she must have found that John did have a lot of information available here.
"To cooperate, it's very simple, let's go to the next place together to collect photons, and when we collect them, we share resources. You provide the seeds and the container, and I provide the location of the next photon, as well as the method of maintaining-holding-accommodating-accelerating-saving-living. When he said the last sentence, he looked at me directly, and then looked at Sister Yue, and his eyes revealed an expression of meaning.
"I don't want to collect photons, I just want to get back to normal, is there any way to get rid of the container and photons on my body." I can't wait.
John shrugged his shoulders: "Mr. Dream, it's very unfortunate that we don't have a way to remove containers and photons now, but maybe the next place with photons will be recorded?" β
A few of us looked at each other.
"Okay, we agree to cooperate," Sister Yue said firmly, looking at John.
"Great, you can stay and celebrate tonight. I'll open a good bottle of red wine. John invited us with a smile on his face.
"No, when are you leaving?" Sister Yue asked directly.
"Oh, my dear month, we can go at any time as long as you are ready." John also wanted to pull Sister Yue's hand, but Sister Yue avoided him.
"Okay, we'll start stocking up tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. Leave! After saying that, Sister Yue walked out quickly. The three of us hurried to follow. John shrugged his shoulders awkwardly, but there was an unpredictable smile on his face, and I always felt that there was a hint of treachery in John's eyes, and he didn't look like a person who did scientific research.
After I came out, I said to Sister Yue, "Sister Yue, can this John be reliable?" Why do I think he's not a man of learning? β
"If he is a scholar, then I am an expert in archaeology." Brother Dong snorted.
Sister Yue shook her hair and said loudly: "Do you think that those who are academics will fucking do such indiscriminate things as cheating marriages?" Hmph, Lao Tzu knew that what he was selling in his gourd was not a good medicine. It's just that we have to work with him now, and I'm going to solve the problem of the family curse, and you're going to save your life. No matter what Longtan Tiger's Den, we have to go to his uncle's place. This series of words came from the beautiful Sister Yue, and the tone was still like a man, and the passers-by kept looking at it.
"That Sister Yue, be quiet, pay attention to the shape and image." I whispered a reminder from the side.
"Shape you a hammer? Can it be eaten as a meal? Get in! Leave. "With that, I was pushed into the car.
It seems that Sister Yue is still resentful of being deceived, and she and John's Liangzi are settled.
