Early in the morning, everyone seemed to be tired. The fat man, who had been clamoring to eat fish all the way, was also lying on the grass at this time and chewed the dry food directly.

I unbuttoned all the buttons of my shirt to let the breeze carry away the stinky sweat from my body, and looked at the flowers blooming in the lake in front of me, and my body and mind suddenly felt a lot cooler.

As far as I know, on the surface of the swampy lake, there are usually some blue-green duckweed, or lotus flowers in full bloom. But the flowers floating on the water in front of me, red flowers and yellow edges, like butterflies about to fly, are very enchanting and beautiful, but they are flowers that I am not familiar with.

I was very curious, so I called Ugin and asked him curiously, "Brother, do you know the flowers blooming on the lake?" ”

As a result, don't say that in the Sanjiang Plain, there are really no animals and plants that Ugin doesn't know.

Ugin pointed to the butterfly-like flowers on the surface of the lake and said, "This flower is probably a variant of the algae civet." ”

This is the first time I've heard of this plant, and it seems to be an ordinary aquatic plant.

But Ugin's next words surprised everyone.

Ugin Guide said: Algae is an aquatic plant, but it is not an ordinary aquatic plant, but a "cordyceps", that is, a plant that can eat insects.

Everyone was particularly amazed, and said in their hearts: The real world is so big that there are no surprises. Since ancient times, insects have eaten grass, and this is the first time in my life that I have heard that grass can still eat insects, which is really strange.

Ugin immediately became angry when he saw the eager eyes of the crowd. began to tell you in detail about this bewitching and beautiful insectivorous grass.

Algae cattles generally grow in wetlands or ponds. There are cute little flowers, like fluttering butterflies. Flowers bloom on the surface of the water. And underneath the flower stem, there are yellow-green "insect traps". The translucent insect trap in the shape of pumpkin seeds, which is usually shriveled, sometimes releases some sweet juice to lure small creatures such as daphnia, shrimp, and insects to eat. When the prey touches the burrs floating in the water, the insect trap will expand rapidly, and the flap at the mouth of the sac will also open. The water stream is then sucked into the sac along with the prey. Then the flap will automatically close again, locking the prey in it, and this prey process takes less than a second.

After catching the prey, the insect trap will secrete digestive juices to digest and absorb the prey such as insects. When the prey has been digested and absorbed, the flaps of the insect trap will open again, squeezing the water in the sac out of the body together with the prey's remains. Then he reverts to a shriveled appearance again, waiting for the next hapless prey to arrive.

Generally, the digestion time can range from a few hours to several days, and it only takes a quarter of an hour at the earliest to hunt again. But. A large amount of prey residue accumulates so that the insect trap will eventually rot and fall off.

Ugin was elated, and the mouth was frothing at the end of the story. Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of creation.

The fat man was even more interested, and he had to go into the water to admire the appearance of the algae civet up close.

Morning tension. It made the team a little gloomy, and I thought I would take this opportunity to entertain my body and mind. It's also a good choice to relax. And everyone rushed all morning, all sweating, just in front of the very clear lake water, when swimming, by the way.

So I nodded and agreed to the fat man's request, and everyone couldn't wait to start stripping and getting into the water.

I had consulted the Ugin guide in detail beforehand, and he said: The lake in front of me is very clear, as if there are no fish, and there is absolutely no danger. But because he was a landlubber, he had to soak his feet on the shallow shore and couldn't go into the water with everyone, which was a pity.

In addition to Ugin, there is another person who has not entered the water, and that is Zha Ling'er. She didn't know where she ran before a group of big men undressed? I guess I was ashamed, so I didn't know where I went to sleep where no one was.

I saw the always elegant Confucian scholar Zha Lao Qi, and he took off his white coat without hesitation, and put it on the grass together with his weapon, a fan of steel and iron bones.

I was worried about being alone, so I walked into the woods, following the footprints on the ground, towards the south side.

Soon, I saw a lonely Zha Ling'er on the edge of the woods, sitting on the grass with her trouser legs rolled up, her calves hanging in the water, looking up to admire the blue sky, white clouds and flying birds.

I walked up to her and said, "Don't run around, come and gather in a moment." With that, I turned around and wanted to leave as much as I could, because I couldn't wait to go to the lake and swim freely.

Ever since I entered the swampy wetlands, I've always wanted to take a dip in the clear water. But when I turned around and was about to leave, I was grabbed by Zha Ling'er and forced me to sit next to her, so I had to sit on the ground helplessly.

Zha Ling'er didn't look at me, but looked at the sparkling water and said, "Do you know why I want to participate in this inverted fight?" ”

I immediately replied to her, "You're not tired of being at home, so you want to go out and explore." I remember when you were a child, you didn't always want to explore everywhere, and once stole your uncle's treasure map, forcing me and the fat man to go on adventures with you. As a result, in the end, you got covered in mud and broke your arm, and the old man who loved you very much ran to complain to my master, saying that the fat man and I had damaged you. In fact, the bad things you did at that time were all your ideas, but you will pretend to be innocent in front of adults. However, when did you start to hide your bad temper unabashedly! ”

When Zha Ling'er heard me tease her, she first glared at me very dissatisfied, and then defended: "It's obvious that the three of us smell the same, why are you blaming me alone." But Brother Sven, I'm really glad you can still remember what happened when you were a child. Actually, I insisted on coming to the north to fight this time, all for you. ”

I heard Zha Ling'er's sudden confession, and my heart suddenly hung in the air. Although the fat man often jokingly said to me: Zha Linger likes me, but I thought he was ridiculing me, and never took it to heart. Moreover, from childhood to adulthood, from beginning to end, I only treated Zha Ling'er as my own sister, and there was no slightest relationship between men and women.

Zha Ling'er ignored my feelings and continued to talk to herself, "When I was a child, I liked Brother Sven and thought you were different, for some reason, it attracted me very much. Actually, at Chajia, I like things about you, as we all know. My uncle also mentioned this matter to your master, Grandpa Fang, saying that he wanted to set a baby kiss for the two of us. ”

My heart almost burst out of my throat when I heard these words. The heart said: When is this a thing, why don't you know anything about it? Moreover, I didn't find any special charm in myself, at most, I looked good, but it wasn't enough for a girl to be obsessed with it since she was a child.

I didn't know anything about Zha Ling'er's sincere and overheated feelings, so I had to tell Zha Ling'er the truth, but she raised her eyebrows and asked me: "Is it because my uncle is no longer there, so you want to repay the debt?" ”

I said very innocently, "I really don't know." ”

Zha Ling'er suddenly looked at me with her big eyes, and then asked me a little shyly, "Then you know now, are you willing?" ”

My heart is now very uneasy, because I am about to reject a girl who has been obsessed with me since I was a child, but I can't make up my mind to refuse for a while, so I have to go around the bend and ask her: "Are you sure that your feelings for me are not momentary obsession, but true love." ”

When Zha Ling'er heard my question, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned her head to look at the glittering water again, "Actually, I don't know. Still, I know I like you, and always have been. ”

I suddenly felt that the wayward eldest lady in front of me might have confused some other things with feelings, or mixed some things in the feelings, and lost herself in illusions.

So I decided to explain it to her directly, and after taking a deep breath, I said in a flat tone, "I have a woman I love." ”

I thought that after hearing this, Zha Ling'er would cry very sadly, or beat me, but I was ready to be beaten. But she went to laugh, stared at a pair of apricot eyes, looked at me intently and said, "Come less, who are you fooling?" I grew up with you, how come I didn't know you had someone you liked? ”

I looked at Zha Ling'er with a very sincere expression, and then explained to her: "Although we grew up together, we rarely see each other when we grow up, so you don't know that I already have someone I like, she is my junior sister." ”

When Zha Ling'er heard this, she laughed even more exaggeratedly, and said to me tremblingly: "Brother Sven, you don't deceive people. Where did you come from, junior sister, I clearly remember that you and Fat Brother are Grandpa Fang's closed disciples, how can there be a junior sister. Could it be that it fell from the sky? ”

Tianyu really seems to have fallen from the sky, the story is too complicated, and I can't explain it clearly for a while, so I have to correct my attitude and say to Zha Ling'er in a very strict tone: "I do have someone I like, no, it's someone I love deeply." Her name is Tianyu, and she is indeed my junior sister, and the two of us are in love. She's not here now, though. ”

Zha Linger thought I was making excuses, so she lost her temper and said, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it." Since you said you have someone you like, why isn't she here, so where did she go? ”

Tianyu is the biggest pain in my heart, my expression can't help but become very sad, I can't help but look up at the sky, and say faintly: "She's missing." When I was fighting in Kunlun Mountain, I disappeared with your fifth uncle. (To be continued......)
