Chapter Thirty-Six: Flowers Bloom on the Other Side

I was ushered into a single room, where the windows were bright, the sheets had just been changed, and there were even two pots of flowers on the windowsill. Because it was deep underground, the windows were dark walls, and there was no sunlight, and the light source came from the few buzzing fluorescent lamps overhead.

I changed into a white coverall, and I wasn't even allowed to wear underwear.

At night, I barely slept for a while, very unsteady, tossing and turning insomnia, and I really didn't know what would happen next. Later, I was tired of tossing and fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly I was woken up, I rubbed my eyes and saw a group of white coats standing in front of the bed.

They looked like doctors, three or four of them, and they wore big masks with only sharp eyes. A nurse came in with a small medicine cart and said to me, "One bed, come with us for a physical examination." ā€

I sighed, Li Damin is right, if you come, you will be safe, and now it is the meat on the knife, you can watch and toss. I followed these people out and started the medical examination.

This toss is a morning, and the subjects of their physical examination are very detailed, from vision to hearing, from weight to cardiopulmonary function, and even an andrologist picks my chrysanthemum to check the prostate, and finally lists a long list. Li Damin came with Su Li, and when he saw me, he smiled: "Tired, take you to eat Xiaozao at noon." ā€

A doctor handed over the physical examination list to Li Damin, he took it and looked at it, and then asked the doctors to go to the inner room to give him a detailed report. After a short time, he walked out: "Luo Dao, you are still healthy, you have no serious illness, and you meet the requirements of the real yĆ n." ā€

I smiled wryly and didn't say anything.

Li Damin called someone to give a few words, and after a short time, a battery car actually drove outside the corridor. Li Damin took Su and I to the car, and then told the driver to go to the cafeteria first.

On the battery car, I realized that the project here is really huge, not to mention the number of floors and the wide area, and there are stairs and elevators between the floors and even a dedicated lane for the battery car, the most critical problem is that the building here is built underground, not on the surface, how big is the project?! How much manpower and material resources do you have to spend? I can't imagine a dick like me.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, it was really an eye-opener, the huge cafeteria was almost full, and at a glance it was full of medical personnel in white coats, there were one hundred and eighty of them, all of them were eating quickly in silence, the fluorescent lights were buzzing, and the whole place was glowing with cold gloom.

Li Damin took Su Li and me to the private room to eat a small stove, four dishes and one soup. Li Damin, since I came into contact with him, I have found that he has almost no desires except for his own ideals, he is not a good woman, he is not good at eating and drinking, he does not gamble or smoke, and even gives people a feeling of cleanliness.

While eating, Su Li suddenly said, "Luo Dao, do you know why my eyes are like this?" ā€

He took off his glasses, revealing his wrinkled-like sockets.

I didn't have much appetite in the first place, and I couldn't eat it because he messed with it, so I reluctantly said, "I don't know." ā€

"Luo Dao, suppose that if Su Li suddenly regains his sight and can see things, what will happen to him?" Li Damin asked this question.

I shook my head: "If you don't think so, it might affect his hearing, right?" He can't hear those special sounds anymore? ā€

Su Li and Li Damin laughed at the same time, and Su Li said, "Sue you, my two eyeballs have been taken away by Master." ā€

"Huh?" I was taken aback and looked at Li Damin.

Li Damin said: "This is bone extraction and fetal replacement, I punished Gan Jiu like this that day, you also saw it." I can take bones and fetuses out of anyone's body at will. The reason why I took away Su Li's eyes was to give him back a good pair of eyes! His cataract eyeballs are gone, and I'm looking for a pair of eyes for him. ā€

"Suitable eyes?!" I swallowed: "You mean, someone else's eyes? ā€

"Yes." Li Damin nodded: "I will find a good pair of eyes for Su Li, and then take it off the original owner's body and press it in Su Li's eye sockets." This is what Su Li deserves, he has been with me for many years, we are also teachers and friends, and he has helped me a lot. ā€

Su Li laughed.

I gasped, thinking to myself, don't annoy this pair of masters and apprentices, if I fall asleep in the middle of the night, Li Damin silently picks out my eyeballs, this life is over, life is better than death.

"Then you're not afraid that if you get your eyes, you'll lose your hearing?" I asked, trembling.

Su Li smiled and said a slang sentence: "It's going to rain, and the mother wants to get married." ā€

After eating, Li Damin wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Luo Dao, I'll take you to visit the refining process of the incense on the other side." ā€

I followed them into the battery car in a daze, and after a long time of twisting and turning, I came out of this building, followed the glass passage, and entered another building.

The car stopped in front of the indoor shed, and we walked down, and Li Damin took Su Li and me inside. As soon as I entered the door, I was stunned, this is a very large indoor flower garden, not to mention thousands of square meters. Rows of wooden boxes are neatly placed in the room, each of which is as big as a coffin, and these wooden boxes are stacked one after another, like a long dragon, which looks quite spectacular.

What shocked me the most was the flowers cultivated on these wooden boxes, which were red flowers. The flowers are as red as fire, gorgeous as blood, each one is as big as the mouth of a bowl, one by one next to each other, connected into a sea of blood flowers, the whole flower garden is full of enchanting red, here is like a colorful dream depicted by a teenager.

In the aisles of the rows of wooden boxes, there are many innocent and lovely girls, dressed in very special national costumes, carrying watering cans in their hands, and watering the red flowers as they walk. It's a white juice, not water, and it looks thick. The white juice falls on the safflower and gently slides along the stamens, and the red is bright and white is pure, forming an extremely strong visual effect.

"This ...... These......? I was speechless in astonishment.

"This is the flower of the other side." Li Damin said lightly: "I took seeds and branches from the underworld and grafted them to the yang world, tried to cultivate them, and they really grew." ā€

He took me inside, and when I got closer, these flowers on the other side were so beautiful, it was different from other flowers, all its petals were extremely thin, shaped like fine needles, and each flower would have thousands of such thin petals, at first glance, it looked like thousands of steel needles were dyed red with blood, so bright that it was so beautiful that it was murderous. The white juice that was poured on it was as warm as jade, and it seemed to be blending the charm and evil spirit of the flowers on the other side with a little bit of gentleness.

Li Damin snapped his fingers and called the girl next to him and asked her to give him the watering can. Li Damin took the watering can, poured juice on the flowers, and said slowly: "I remember that there is a lyric that the water of the Lechuan River flows by, taking away the previous life, but not the agreement." Every time I water the flowers on the other side, I feel a sense of the vicissitudes of time and space. ā€

I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of white juice is this?" ā€

"Human milk." Li Damin said lightly.

"Huh?!" I yelled, "Holy." ā€

"Only human milk can make the other side flower survive in the sun, and the other side flower is like a living baby, which needs the mother's most essence juice to conceive." Li Damin looked at me: "You also come to water." ā€

I hurriedly waved my hand: "Don't, don't, I'll forget it." ā€

I look at this flower garden, I don't know if there are other similar cultivation bases, just such a flower garden, there are 180 girls to irrigate human milk, how many nurses have to provide behind this? I looked at Li Damin and felt a chill, who would have to do such a thing! Watering a drop of milk on the other side here, then there will inevitably be a baby who drinks less, which is equivalent to snatching food from the child's mouth, how inhuman is this person?!

At this moment, a young man walked in from outside the flower garden, dressed in a lazy linen robe, with a small basket diagonally over his shoulders. When he came over, he greeted: "Master Li, you are here." ā€

Li Damin introduced: "This is the master of the flower juice collection on the other side, Luo Dao, you just call him Zhang Gong." ā€

Zhang Gong said: "Master Li, there is a flower on the other side that has matured, and I want to pick the flower juice now." ā€

Li Damin raised his eyebrows: "Such a coincidence? Luo Dao, just in time for you to visit. It is very rare for flowers to bloom on the other side and flowers to produce juice. The incense is made with these hard-won flower juices. ā€

Zhang Gong took us to a wooden box in the middle of the flower garden, and the surrounding area was already crowded with girls watching the excitement, these girls covered their mouths and sneered, looking lively and cute, like girls waiting to see the tea picking. I can't help but think of the song "Tea Mountain Love Song".

Zhang Gong skillfully removed the wooden planks on the side of the wooden box, revealing the contents of the wooden box, and I looked inside, so shocked that I couldn't speak.

There was a pregnant woman lying in the wooden box, with a big belly, a sallow face, empty eyes, and a subconscious moaning in her mouth. This time, I saw clearly that the flowers on the other side of the wooden box actually grew on this woman's big belly, as if she was pregnant in October and gave birth to clumps of flowers.

The onlookers didn't care at all, and were still whispering and laughing, like peasant girls rushing to the market, fresh and happy. Zhang Gong took out a cloth bag from the basket and slowly unfolded it, with many sharp needles of different types inserted in it. He took out a medium-sized one, then put on white gloves, held a flower with one hand, pinched a needle with the other, gently pierced it on the thin petals, quickly pulled it out under one thorn, and then pricked it in a few places, pinched it slightly with his hand, and the eyes of these needles began to seep out red flower juice.

These saps are slowly secreted, flowing slowly, and converging into thick drops that stick to the petals. Zhang Gong put the needle back, took out a piece of bamboo from the back basket, sandwiched it between his two fingers, used the very sharp side of the bamboo piece, gently scraped the flower juice, carefully scraped it off, opened a porcelain bottle the size of a snuffbox, and slowly rubbed the flower juice to the mouth of the bottle, and the juice rolled down the mouth of the bottle into the bottle.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then took a needle and pricked another petal. Brother of the liver.

This is slow work and meticulous work, and ordinary rough people really can't do this, which requires a lot of patience.

Li Damin patted me: "You know now, how valuable this thing is." ā€
