5, the elixir of immortality - Luanmu
At one o'clock, I finished my part-time job, the lunch made by the nanny, and went to bed. After more than two months of rest, I was finally about to recover, but the content of sleeping pills was so high that every time I finished eating, I read a book for a while, and in less than half an hour, my upper and lower eyelids began to fight. Shortly after I fell asleep, I received a call from Professor Liao, a botanist and MD, who was the same one I had saved two months ago. Of course, I don't know his name now, because there is no record of this stranger on my phone.
"Mr. Mu, hello, I am a few people, when you were in the Gobi Desert in Inner Mongolia, you saved my life." Mandarin spoken in a local accent came from the phone, and it looked very twisted.
"Oh, hello! I saved your life? "Of course I don't understand that, after all, I had a lot of people that time, and the village not far from us a kilometer away, which adds up to more.
"When I was treating the wounded, I was attacked by a long bug, and you helped me resist it."
I still didn't understand much about what he said, after all, I don't know how many times a week this happened, and I didn't know which one he was saved by me.
"Another time, I just remembered, and another time I was hit by a halberd, and I was about to hit it, but it was you who did it in the first place..... And into my arm, or I'm going to have to take my life there. The professor was very excited when he spoke, and his words were a little inarticulate.
I remembered when he said this, and when I saw him another month ago, not only was his hair gray and messy, but his face was pale and the folds between his skin were not very deep, and his eyes looked unfocused. It gives people a feeling that they are about to die, not the kind of spiritual "death". Some people seem to despise him, but in his realm, at that moment, he suddenly became a "god", although he was a bit like, but his body was indeed problematic. Because I don't know medicine, I can't express their technical terms, all in all, he is 40 years old, but he has a 70-year-old body, and he often coughs when he smokes, as if he will choke to death if he doesn't finish this cigarette. I don't smoke, so I can't feel that either. As for why I knew he was forty years old, it was because when he did the appraisal of Liang Yi and Zheng Qiang again, he saw the sign on his chest.
"Hello! Professor Liao. "When I heard him say it, I remembered it immediately.
"I was a little busy some time ago, so I always wanted to repay you for saving me in the first place, so I have arranged for you to go to Yunnan now." Professor Liao's voice was a little difficult to understand because it was Mandarin spoken in my hometown accent, but I listened patiently. In terms of tone, it's quite sincere.
"Going to Yunnan? Well! ..... I haven't recovered from my last injury, so I can't go. I didn't want anything in return for saving you in the first place, so forget about traveling. "I don't really want to go to this kind of thing, anyway, it's not interesting to go to a man-made attraction, it's better to read a book and sleep at home.
But the next sentence he said made me completely change my mind.
"In this way, my assistant just invited your junior brother, and he agreed to go to Yunnan. I also hired two paranormal experts who went to Inner Mongolia with you two months ago. ”
"My junior brother agrees to go?" When I learned that my junior brother was going, of course I was going too, and after this guy went back, he never called me. I called him and he didn't answer. I don't know where I got mad.
"Yes, are you coming?"
"So? I hesitated, but I wanted to see if he would give me a step.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow, and you'll be waiting for me at home." Hearing that I was hesitating, he immediately helped me make a big decision.
"Okay." After hanging up, I tossed my phone aside and went back to sleep.
Ten minutes later, I suddenly woke up and invited me to travel to Yunnan? I thought to myself. But there is always some special feeling in my heart, is it because my junior brother didn't answer the phone at that time, and now I went directly to meet him, maybe the feeling comes from this.
I saw him on the road the next morning, I don't know where he got my address, and I didn't give anyone my address during this time, maybe it's a big tree, the more people know my reputation, so the more people know my address.
Parking in front of me was the extended Lincoln, who had the titles of a doctor and a professor, and whose financial resources were not comparable to those of a person like me, and my broken car parked underneath, when I saw his extended Lincoln, I had an urge to sell scrap metal.
"Mr. Mu!"
On the side of the road, I saw Professor Liao, who was still so old. Although there were many wrinkles on the face of the previous meeting, they were not very deep, but this time there were many wrinkles from the forehead into the hair, and the inside of the hair seemed to be one deep and one shallow. On his face was a large black mole with hairs of about four millimeters, which had now turned from black to gray.
"Professor Liao, you're getting old again." I'm kidding.
I also admire and respect Professor Liao very much, but my character and fate do not allow such a mentality. And I heard from insiders that his achievements are not on the surface, he is by far the most powerful professor to win the Nobel Prize in medicine.
He threw the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile all over his body: "I am not Mr. Mu, I have a young body. I'm old. ”
Seeing him tremble all over, not because of fear, but in the news I know, people who have smoked for 30 to 40 years are usually shaking their fingers and body every time they hold a cigarette with their index finger and middle finger.
Just after getting out of the car, the driver came out from the front and took my suitcase and stuffed it into the trunk of Lincoln under the signal of Professor Liao, in fact, even if there is no trunk with a length of more than 8000mm, just a suitcase can be stuffed down. At this moment, the traffic police came and posted a ticket on the car for occupying the traffic lane. It's just that Professor Liao didn't care, I wanted to talk to the traffic police about removing this ticket, with my reputation, I can still get rid of it, others come here to invite me to travel, and I can't let others have such a bad thing on my territory, which can have a big impact on my reputation, but Professor Liao told me to forget it.
In less than 12 hours, I took a car to Lei Gong Mountain. In the car, Professor Liao kept saying thank you to me, a kind of holding my hand, now it is like a grandfather holding a grandson's hand, of course I am not a grandson, he is not a grandfather, at most he is called an uncle. He took out his mobile phone to find his daughter, and said that he would marry his daughter, who was less than 18 years old and went to school in Germany, to me, and I also blushed when he said it. At the same time, when he was about to get off the bus, he kept saying that his time was running out and wanted me to think about it. I just laugh at this kind of thing.
The right time to get off the bus finally got off the bus after twelve hours, and it was really uncomfortable to talk to such a person, from getting on to getting off the bus, it was like being watched with a rare treasure.
When I got out of the car and entered a private house, Professor Liao said to me apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mu." This is the best hostel in the neighborhood. ”
This is the territory of the Miao people, I know a little about the primitive environment of this place, there is a saying that rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea. And the Miao people are surrounded by mountains, they have a cement road I have been very surprised, for a few star hotels I dare not imagine, get off the car is eight o'clock in the evening, although there are nearly 100 tables in the spacious, but really eat in this is not much, eat are Miao Tujia cuisine, they not only like to eat spicy but also like to drink, I heard that men, women and children are a drink every day, as for whether it is true, I don't know, anyway, I see men and women from the present, In front of them, there is water carried by small porcelain wine glasses, according to the kind of heavenly cups in our family, the grandparents' generation used to drink, here I don't believe that they all use water to drink.
In the innermost part I saw the junior brother, Liang Yi and Zheng Qiang, they were eating hot meat hot pot. But they also dare to eat hot pot at this time? It's summer, and they're not afraid to get on fire.
Seeing my coming, Zheng Qiang and Liang Yi stood up: "Mr. Mu is really the most difficult person to invite, I didn't expect Professor Liao to really invite you." ”
"Mr. Mu, you can owe me a meal." Liang Yi saw that I was guided here by Professor Liao, and pretended to be very distressed.
"Oh, how do I say that?" I also know a lot about the tempers of the two of them, although we have met a few times, and the last time I met gave me a real acquaintance with the people in the Chinese Paranormal Hall of Fame. The individual skills of the two of them are not the opponents of the top twenty people, but if the two of them cooperate, even the strongest of the twenty people will avoid their edge. The two of them were temporarily ranked 13th because of their individual combat ability, and I was originally ranked 30th, but I gave up on entering the Hall of Fame, so I was temporarily ranked here. It's just that the ranking of the Hall of Fame is not based on the individual's combat ability, many things add up, including 30 percent of the skill, 20 percent of the ideology, 30 percent of the patriotic, and the rest of the miscellaneous. Because it is a Chinese ranking, there will also be all kinds of things that should not appear in it.
"I made a bet with Professor Liao that you would definitely eat the closed door, but I didn't expect that Mr. Ren would be invited."
