Chapter 1: Waiting, Tailgating
Chapter 1 Origins
Dragon City.
Twilight.
As the sun sets, the reddish-yellow sunlight shines obliquely through the balcony, staining the room with a halo.
In the temporary dormitory, Luo Hou, who had just settled down, was sitting on the bed frame, blowing an electric fan to cool off, looked at the unknown object in his hand with a black thumb-sized and thoughtful look.
Today is not yet the official day of school, but Luo Hou has been independent since he was a child, not to mention that he had repeatedly studied for a year because he had filled in the wrong form before, so he came to school early alone.
However, because it was three or four days earlier than the official start of school, the school's formal class assignment was not completed, let alone the formal dormitory arrangement.
However, Luo Hou was not the only one who came early, many freshmen who were far away in Qinghai, Heilongjiang, Hainan and other places also came to the school early.
The leaders of the school departments did not dare to be careless, in addition to the new students, there were many parents of students, once something happened, it would be a big problem.
When the university opens and the new students enter the school, no matter how small things must be treated solemnly, so as not to cause disputes and troubles, so soon, more than a dozen dormitories of the senior year were vacated by the dormitory staff, cleaned and cleaned, and then turned into temporary dormitories for the freshmen and parents who arrived early to live in.
Luo Hou is naturally among them.
However, because some parents left the school to stay in off-campus hotels, and many new students who arrived at the school in advance, he was the only one living in this temporary dormitory for the time being.
This also made it a lot easier for him.
Because of the many new students from Qinghai and Hainan around, their accents, Luo Hou, a cub from the mountain city of Chongqing, couldn't understand it at all.
And he is a foreign language department, most of the other freshmen are automobile, civil engineering, computer science, one liberal arts, one science, although he is also a science class in high school, but the path he will take in the future is completely different, and there are very few intersections, so there is no need to know each other at all.
Why bother?
What's more, everyone's gathering here is only temporary.
But these are only secondary.
What attracted Luo Hou's attention now was an unknown object the size of a black thumb in his hand.
This thing was one of a bunch of small items that he had been fooled into buying at the train station when he came to school.
At that time, he was hot and couldn't find his way, and the fear, worry, and helplessness of the first time he arrived in a strange city completely made him lose his usual reason and calmness, and he was slightly fooled by the hawkers, so he spent dozens of yuan to buy several decorations and souvenirs.
But I happened to ask the vendor for the way and got out of the predicament, in short, I felt that I didn't lose much.
This black, full-grown man's thumb-sized thing is one of them.
It is spherical, surrounded by dense lines of different shades, and one end is slightly flattened, which looks like a pointed mouth.
This thing seems to be a very large seed.
Growing up in the countryside since he was a child, he has been exposed to various crops all year round, and Luo Hou quickly recognized the true face of this thing.
When I bought it before, I thought it was a lifelike wood carving.
But I'm not sure what the material of this thing is, maybe it's a carved seed, and I don't know if it's a real seed or a fake.
Luo Hou was really bored before, and there was no one he knew here, and there was only this thing in the pile of "souvenirs" he bought to temporarily play and pass the time, and there was no network in the temporary dormitory, and the network on the mobile phone was simply too slow.
There's only one way to play with that.
pinched this seed-like thing in his hand and played with it carefully, and at that moment, he actually had the illusion of playing with the text.
Hey, what was that?
His eyes seemed to be glazed at the moment.
There seemed to be a flash of light in front of me.
It wasn't the sun's rays, it wasn't the incandescent light of the dorm room, it came from the seed in his hand, and he saw it very clearly.
What's going on?
Luo Hou was taken aback, that flash of light was definitely not a reflection!
His mind was immediately completely absorbed by the thing in his hand.
So I put down all the other things, took this thing in my hand, put it closer, and looked at it carefully for so long.
Could it be some kind of treasure? Luo Hou put a big question mark in his heart.
Although he knew in his heart that it was unlikely, he was silently persuading himself not to hold such childish thoughts, but the excitement of the teenager's "treasure hunt" and the fantasies that kept popping up still made him faintly excited.
The boy sensed that Sherlock Holmes was possessed at this moment, and the moment of decryption now began:
First of all, the material of this thing is similar to wood, you can feel the faint moistness and vitality inside, the possibility of seeds is very large, but it is not excluded that it is carved out of living wood, but considering the cost factor, and the possibility of leakage from the stalls at the train station, this probability is extremely small, and it is tentatively named "seed".
Secondly, the "seeds" are densely covered with different shades of textures, which are very natural and have no traces of artificial carving.
In addition, many of these lines have been rubbed off or rubbed off, and the traces of being rubbed off and rubbed off look obvious, and from these traces, it is extremely unlikely that they are artificial.
Also, assuming that it is an artificial creation, then looking at its material and carving, it should be more valuable, but the vendor at the train station in his memory, when he sold this item, he was a little excited to make money, indicating that the cost of this thing is very small or even has no capital, and it may have been picked up by him......
All that said, this thing is definitely a seed!
But why does it glow?
Its surface is not reflective.
Luo Hou held the seed to the light, and then looked at it carefully, and there was no sign of reflection.
No, there must be other factors.
It can't be the reason for the light, it's been shining on it just now, and it hasn't moved away.
Could it be sunlight? Absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and collect the aura of heaven and earth?
Luo Hou moved the seeds to the place where the sun was most abundant, and there was no reaction for half a day, and the sun factor was removed.
So is it their own reason?
Luo Hou's gaze shifted to his hand.
This hand is white and tender, typical of scholar's fingers, but because of the perennial work, the knuckles of the fingers are relatively thick, and the wrist is also very powerful.
And just washed and very clean.
After washing, will it be water?
Water is needed for seed development.
The biological knowledge in Luo Hou's mind popped up in a very timely manner.
Picking up the seeds, Luo Hou came to the balcony, turned on the faucet slightly, let the water drops continue to drip down, and then put the seeds in the sink and let the seeds soak in the water.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...... Luo Hou's expectant gaze turned into disappointment.
It didn't work.
At this moment, he was completely hopeless, and even blushed a little, why did he suddenly become so second-year, fortunately, he was the only one in this dormitory, if one more person saw it?
It's embarrassing.
However, Luo Hou did not plan to throw away this seed, after all, he bought it himself, even if he was slaughtered, he had to keep it, even if it was a reference to remind himself to remember this lesson.
Reaching out to pick up the seeds in the sink, Luo Hou unconsciously glanced at the seeds in his palm.
He suddenly saw his palm, which was dripping with blood.
There was a not-so-obvious scratch there, which was accidentally scratched by the iron frame when I used a lot of strength when I moved the bed frame by myself, but it didn't look like it was a big deal, and after washing it, I didn't take it to heart.
Man, this little wound is a big deal!
It's not in the way at all, and I'll be fine after a while.
But looking at it now, this wound seems to be a little closer to the seed......
When I played before, it seemed to roll in the palm of my hand a few times.
Could it be the cause of the blood? After all, there is a saying that blood is a confession......
Luo Hou thought about it very seriously for half a minute, then turned around, unconsciously looked at this seed for more than a minute, and still didn't plan to give up.
Putting the seed on the wound that was still bleeding in the palm of his hand, and evenly smearing the blood that flowed out before on this seed, Luo Hou's heart jumped to his throat.
He stared at the seed, his eyes overflowing with antiquity.
Will there be any reaction, will there be any vision, will there be a fairy......
Luo Hou's mind was all messed up.
This time, the seed did not disappoint him, and the blood-soaked seed shone slightly again.
And he clearly felt that the seed had been "forcefully" attached to the wound in the palm of his hand.
Luo Hou was taken aback!
What's going on?
How can this seed still be sucked, and will there be any danger?
What to do, you know that there is a problem, and if you know it earlier, you won't take this risk, at this moment, pitcher plants, man-eating flowers, man-eating trees...... A lot of related things kept popping out of Luo Hou's mind, making his heart rise higher and higher.
