Chapter 678: Watermelon Seedlings in the Navel (Part I)

Lin Zhiyan finally calmed down, and the whole person leaned on me tightly, trembling, "Are we going to wait here until dawn?" ”

"No, since they have something to fear. I try to walk forward first, to the old house of the family. I replied.

"So many cockroaches, your grandfather ...... them" The old woman hesitated.

I said categorically, "They're all right, they're all old foxes." There are no stupid people in the night house, and they should have found out about the situation that I can find, and now they are definitely gathered in the house to discuss countermeasures. ”

Before the words fell, suddenly there was an explosion in the distance. Piles of firewood burned a kilometer away, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

"It's the location of the family, you see, I know they don't have any." I said excitedly, "Let's go, hurry up and get over and talk about it." The flashlight won't last until tomorrow morning! ”

Relying on the faint light of the flashlight, the three of us watched the direction of 360 degrees back to back, and slowly moved towards the old house.

Distance refers to the length of time that is separated by space or time, but that length can vary greatly depending on the situation. At a distance of one kilometer, our group walked for more than three hours. Countless German cockroaches surrounded us, but luckily their wings could not fly, otherwise they would have had a headache.

The irradiation range of the flashlight aperture is strictly controlled by me within two square meters, and these insects are afraid of light, but it is only strong light. When the aperture spreads out, it loses its effect on them.

The two-square-meter point of light is like a lonely boat in the boundless sea, slowly moving towards the flames in the distance. The power of the strong flashlight is very sufficient, and we still have a few of the same flashlight, so we don't have to worry about the danger of losing the light source after running out of power for the time being.

It was already dark, and we couldn't see anything around us, but we just moved forward with the desire to survive. Lin Zhiyan calmed down a lot, at least she wouldn't tremble with fear. From time to time, he took out his flashlight and shone it into the distance, and turned it off at a hurry. The oppressive scene of the black oppression of hundreds of millions of cockroaches made her smack.

Finally, we came to a place not far from our home.

The old mansion of the Night Clan is a very large and vast complex in my memory, and only the elders and patriarchs of the Ye family can live in it. A large amount of firewood was piled up around the old mansion that night, and the raging flames burned violently, surrounding the entire old mansion and emitting a deadly tongue of fire. All the cockroaches that rushed to the fire were burned to death, and these winged but flightless German cockroaches kept flapping their wings and rushing into the fire, and then the bones were gone.

A few young men were constantly adding firewood and grass to the fire, and one of them saw us moving in the cockroach pile, and immediately screamed.

Suddenly, a group of elderly people ran out in disheveled clothes, and the first one was Ye Xirong, the patriarch of the Ye family, and my old and immortal grandfather. His face was a little haggard, but his spirit was very good, and he had a trace of the terminally ill appearance written in the letter.

"Let them in, my grandson is back." Although the old immortal was stunned, he still recognized me immediately. No, to be precise, he recognized the guardian girl beside us, and immediately commanded.

Several young men used iron hooks to spread the firewood through the flames, leaving an entrance more than a meter wide. Before we could get closer, the cockroaches were already surging and trying to rush in like crazy.

The people inside had already prepared, and a group of people held torches and kept burning the cockroaches crawling over, and suddenly a 'crackling' sound sounded like firecrackers.

Lin Zhiyan gently tugged at the corner of my clothes: "These German cockroaches don't seem to be afraid of fire!" ”

"It's true that they are not afraid, but that doesn't mean they won't be burned to death by the flames. In fact, many insects are a combination of phototropism and photoapathy. I thought for a moment before replying, "This mutated German cockroach may be a UV that hates sunlight, so the glow from the low-pressure mercury in the strong light can repel them." And the flames have no ultraviolet rays, which is why they rush forward without fear of death. ”

Li Mengyue's eyes crossed a hint of admiration, this master of his own is still so knowledgeable. She looked coldly at the cockroach swarm around her, covered the two of us, and walked into the gap in the flames step by step. As soon as we all walked in, the young men immediately filled the firewood and grass, and the flames made a loud 'coaxing' sound, which immediately swallowed up the place where we had just entered.

I haven't seen him for ten years, and the old grandfather seems to be getting old again. The wrinkles of the face are still deep on the surface of the moon. His eyes looked at me unblinkingly, and he almost burst into tears. I was looked at by an old man with such a look, so that I didn't know where to put my hands and feet, and just when I was about to go crazy, my grandfather suddenly patted me on the shoulder and shouted, "Okay!" It's back! ”

Che, really thought I wanted to come back?

After saying that, grandpa glared again, "You kid still know to come back?" If it weren't for the letter that Lao Tzu was about to die, you kid would probably have to hide outside for the rest of your life. ”

I scratched my nose in frustration, and the typical wicked sued first. This old guy is still as angry as he was ten years ago, and he is completely relieved.

"Dad, your grandson's Lao Tzu is standing here, don't try to rob me of my job." A familiar voice came with a flattering tone. When I looked up, I saw that my dad was smiling at me and making a face at me.

Speaking of which, since I went to university in Germany, I have been busy earning credits and running around the world investigating all kinds of weird cases. I haven't seen my unscrupulous dad for almost two years. To be honest, I don't miss him much at all.

"Son, do you miss me?" Dad raised his hands and wanted to give me a hug, "I heard that you all hugs in Germany and kissed three more times, come, let's have a German-style kiss first." ”

I dodged away with a disgusted expression, "Dad, please go find the bunch of cockroaches outside." I still have business to do. ”

"Business? Do you have one? Dad was stunned.

", get out of the way. Grandpa, what's going on with the cockroaches out there? And those watermelons that suck human flesh, how did they grow? I didn't even look at my father, and let him run to a dark corner to draw circles.

The two question marks made the old immortal's brows furrow, "Very suddenly, without any warning a few days ago, it appeared inexplicably." ”

I motioned to Lin Zhiyan and Li Mengyue to find a place to put their luggage down, found a stool to sit on, and prepared to listen to my grandfather's detailed explanation. But I heard him change the topic, "Xiaoye, you're tired too." After a simple wash, let's go to the back room and sleep. There are people outside on night watch, so you don't have to worry about cockroaches crawling in. ”

"Grandpa, I'm also part of this family. What exactly are you trying to hide? I looked at his old face without blinking, and felt a little strange in my heart. It doesn't make sense, just ask about the situation, there is no need to hide these things at all. He doesn't talk about it, he can ask any person he wants.

Seeing that I insisted, Grandpa made an embarrassed expression, "Tell you, you can." But you have to grant me one request. ”

"What requirements?" I was immediately alarmed.

"I'll tell you when I'm done." The embarrassed expression on the old immortal's face became even more intense, "If you don't promise me first, I will order everyone to refuse to tell you everything." ”

I had already scratched my ears and cheeks because of the strange things that happened in the night village, and my kindness burned hotly. It's finally time to unravel the mystery, and the uncomfortable feeling makes the whole heart itch to death, as if countless hands are desperately scratching, very uncomfortable. After thinking about it, I finally surrendered, "Okay, but I have to be willing." ”

"Deal!" The embarrassed expression on my grandfather's old face disappeared immediately, and suddenly, I had a bad feeling. You won't be able to do that old guy's trap, will you? But how can his body be cheap to make him rise?

"These two things happened very suddenly, probably from half a month ago." Grandpa's voice was low: "That day was the 19th day of the fifth lunar month, and suddenly a villager came to inform me in a hurry, saying that there was a child in the village who was sick. So I went. The child was lying in bed, in good spirits, dressed in winter clothes. I blame him for his illness when the father of the child ordered him to take off his clothes. I was stunned. The child's navel saw an emerald green stick, about five centimeters long. When I looked closely, I realized that it was a plant seedling that looked like a bean sprout. ”

"The seedling grew out of the child's navel, and the roots grew firmly in the organs underneath. Pulling it out hard, the child was in terrible pain, and the cold sweat kept flowing down. It was only under the child's father's narration that I understood the whole story. It turned out that not long ago, it was about the thirteenth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. The kid went to play hide and seek with a few friends, and suddenly found a dozen large green watermelons growing on the side of the mass grave. So several children happily shared some of them, and one of them also took a few home to give their parents a tooth sacrifice. ”

"Things should be over after the watermelon is eaten. But within a few days, the child felt an itchy belly button and was extremely uncomfortable. He scratched hard, but he couldn't stop it. It's as if the itch is coming from the inside of the stomach. The child was afraid that the family would be worried, so he secretly did not tell his parents. Finally, when I woke up one day, I found a green sprout growing from my navel. At first, the seedlings were still very short, and they couldn't see clearly if they didn't pay attention. The next day, more than a centimeter came out. The child immediately panicked, and finally couldn't help but tell his parents. ”
