"What are these things?" Lin Zhiyan patted her chest with palpitations, "Mother, I used to be a cameo agent, and I really haven't been so exciting as today." Remember our address novel: ”

I stomped a lone cockroach to death, picked up the corpse from the ground, and examined it. Surprised, "It's strange, this is a German cockroach." ”

"So what." Lin Zhiyan patted her backpack vigorously and checked everywhere to see if there were any cockroaches crawling in.

"Don't you think it's weird? This German cockroach is most active at room temperatures between 24 and 32 degrees Celsius. Computers and fax machines, which are easy to dissipate heat, are the best places for them. They are small in size, with only 1 adult worm. It is about 2 cm and can move and reproduce in a precision machine. Their excrement and fading shells can seriously pollute the machine and even cause short circuits in the line. But this insect can't survive in the wild! "I'm amazed.

"Maybe it's another breed, not necessarily." The old woman didn't care.

"No way, I would never be wrong. It is said that the main reason for the multiplication and mutation of these insects is the construction of many office buildings after the rise of Germany. Because of the tight working hours, employees in the office building began to eat in the office. Many girls like to eat snacks at the office, and it is difficult to clean up the cookie crumbs and potato chips. In addition, there are a lot of internal materials in the office, and cleaners are generally not allowed to tidy up, and the accumulation of debris has formed a hotbed for this small German cockroach. ”

After a pause, I thought about it for a while, and I felt even more strange, "I remember that the German cockroach was introduced to the mainland around 1999. With the continuous improvement of the urban living environment, the black-breasted cockroach that was once rampant in Haishikumen and the three-story pavilion has shown a downward trend, while the German cockroach adapted to the office building environment has become the dominant insect species. After 2002, it was especially flooded, and the sea was simply flooded! A small isolated village like Night Village, which rarely communicates with the outside world, cannot form a living environment for German cockroaches. How could this thing be here? ”

Lin Zhiyan realized something at this time, and her expression became solemn, "You mean, someone deliberately introduced German cockroaches into the night village?" ”

"Quite possibly. The German cockroach is characterized by its fast reproduction, taking only 60 days to reproduce one generation. If someone does bring it in on purpose, it will be operational. But what was the man's purpose? I dragged my chin and pondered, and it didn't take long for me to make a decision: "Let's go, go back and see." ”

The old woman was taken aback, "Don't, that thing is weird and scary." What if it hasn't dispersed yet? ”

"Rest assured, German cockroaches do not have any ability to survive in the forest, they have long been accustomed to human living conditions, like human pet cats and dogs. Without the human food supply, they would die as soon as possible, and only a very small number would survive. They are also not social creatures. It is their instinct to spread out in all directions in search of food. What's more, the birds in the forest like to change their tastes the most, and they are eating happily at this time. I turned and pulled the dead woman back the way.

Sure enough, there are very few German cockroaches to be seen by the pile of rubble. The two of us dared to probe around, and as I had guessed, we easily found a small hole under the guardian statue. The cavity was artificially excavated, about a cubic cube or so, and it was densely stuffed with the carcasses of small animals. The corpses had been gnawed into bones. Animal bones and the inner walls of the cave are covered with tiny insect eggs that have broken out of their shells.

The sheer number of those eggs makes people feel goosebumps.

"Looks like your hometown is in some trouble!" Lin Zhiyan disgustingly fanned the air in front of her nose with her hand.

"It's not just a small trouble, I'm afraid someone is secretly targeting the three clans of the night village. Strange, who is it? What exactly does he want to do? I frowned. Although I don't like my hometown, after all, I went out here, and I still have a trace of complex. Subconsciously, I still hope that this place can remain quiet and live the undisturbed life of the past.

The three clans of the night village, who have they offended can make those people hate to this extent. I even figured out how to use a German cockroach. If there were such a bunch of small cockroaches crawling out under each guardian stone statue, even if they were people in the night village, I am afraid that they would be afraid to move their families.

There was a hint of doubt, but I didn't say it. German cockroaches eat small foods and garbage, but do not eat dead animals. But the little cockroaches here not only eat, but also gnaw cleanly, which is obviously a product of deliberate mutation. If the people who cultivated them deliberately cultivated to eat living creatures......

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but shudder. Then he shook his head and smiled, how could it be. The mutation of organisms is definitely not an overnight thing, and there is great uncertainty even if it is considered anthropogenic. If you want to orientally evolve a certain organism in one direction, even top biological genetics experts can't do it. What is needed is a long process and survival of the fittest.

I was a little more relaxed, but for some reason, there was an indescribable bad feeling in the depths of my heart.

Carrying a backpack, he walked forward with Lin Zhiyan. The mud path in the forest seems to have no end, and because of what happened just now, the contact with nature is no longer as relaxed and relaxed as when I first arrived, and there is more vigilance of all the grass and trees.

The dirt road has been winding towards the mountain, and I have been driving non-stop for more than three hours, and finally my eyes are bright, and a trace of sunlight leaks in. The trees are starting to thin out, and the damn forest is finally going to pass through.

Look at the watch, it's four o'clock in the afternoon. It took four full days to count the fringes of the three clans in the night village, and this hometown is indeed remote enough. Maybe being too isolated from the world is also one of the reasons why my father is reluctant to go back. When he was 3 years old, with the departure of his father, the second uncle, the third uncle, and some other people with more knowledge and status in the night village also walked out of the family one after another, and successively broke some fame in the society.

The second uncle chose archaeology, and the third uncle chose botany. With the high IQ of the Ye family's extremely smart, it has indeed become the leading authority in the industry in China. I heard that it didn't take much effort for them to get out of the night village, but why was it that when my father took me away, the whole village was chasing after me, and my grandfather even wanted to tear our family apart?

And when I was ten years old, what agreement did my father and grandfather come to agree? Otherwise, my father would never have taken me back at that time, let alone calmly taken me away half a year after returning to my hometown.

Speaking of which, my father is most similar to my grandfather, and when he laughs, he looks like a profiteer. I remember when I was five years old, my family fled to a small village near the Yangma River, and my bastard father, because he coveted the rich dowry given to the family by the people of Yangma Village, still sent me out to have a secret marriage. After the flood receded, the people of Yangma Village repented and wanted to sacrifice me to the god of the golden doll and throw me into the river to sacrifice. After that, my unscrupulous father became anxious, quietly stole me back, and slipped away at night, just like countless times before to avoid debts.

But at that time, I was really unlucky, and the plot was like a thirteenth-rate movie made by a third-rate director, and I rolled down the hill in a panic, broke my head, and then lost my memory for half a year. (For more information, see the book "Golden Doll".) ）

That memory was just retrieved a few years ago. I really have reason to believe that when I was ten years old, my father must have signed a series of regulations for me at my grandfather's place for his own benefit. And the letter that the old immortal must also be tired. Perhaps, the agreed deadline for the two profiteers is this year. Otherwise, why would Yemura, who had never had direct contact with me, ask my second uncle to send me that letter?

Analyzing the information I had and the purpose of my grandfather's immortality, I was a little irritable.

"Stinky boy, what are you thinking, pretending to be deep along the road silently?" Lin Zhiyan glanced at me kindly.

"Nothing. Hey, dead woman, remember the story I told you about The Golden Doll? I asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, when you were five years old. That story is absolutely touching. I cried when I heard it. Lin Zhiyan made a look of wiping her tears, pretending to be sad.

I looked at the sky and the sparse sunlight, but a hundred feelings welled up in my heart: "When I was five years old, a girl said that if she unfortunately died, she would wait for me at Naihe Bridge for ninety-five years. But that memory of mine is missing? After the girl died, she was in that place, waiting all the time. It wasn't until more than ten years later that he returned to Yangma Village to investigate some things, and the whole thing was recalled. Sometimes I always think that maybe she really stood silently at the head of the bridge and waited for me for many years, and when I returned to that particular place, she guarded me and saved my life! ”

"Haven't you always believed in ghosts, souls, and reincarnation?" Lin Zhiyan gave me a rare serious look.

I shook my head, "To be honest, I really don't believe it. But I've been encountering weird things for so many years, and I've been looking for a scientific way to explain it. But I can't find it at this stage. ”

Lin Zhiyan laughed, "Your kid body always has a quality that attracts strange things, I'm afraid it's commonly known as the ghost body." Paradoxically, a person with a ghost-inducing body has never believed in the existence of ghosts. ”

"Do you believe that?" I asked rhetorically.

The old woman's smile suddenly froze, and her expression became extremely complicated, and this was the first time I saw this expression on her face, "I believe it, I have to believe it." Otherwise, I'm afraid I don't have any faith to keep me alive. ”

She is really a woman with a past and a story.
