"People, learn to make trade-offs!" Zhao Xiaolei pretended to pick up the mineral water bottle, unscrewed it, took a sip as if drinking liquor, put down the bottle, and continued: "Man, after understanding the trade-off, he is not a pure man, we can call it Dongfang Undefeated, or Yue Buqun; A woman, after knowing how to make trade-offs, she is not a pure woman, we can call him Brother Chun, or Brother Zeng! ”

"Dare to love you, the trade-off is to remove the protruding part of yourself?" I laughed.

"Haha, just kidding. However, having said that, the boundaries between men and women are now very blurred, red lips and white teeth are used to describe those sissies, and the tiger and tiger are heroic and rough to describe female men, am I right? The brothers of the south of the country. Zhao Xiaolei sighed, but his eyes glanced at Xiao Chengcheng beside me: "Fortunately, Xiao Meinu is still so captivating." ”

Xiao Tingcheng didn't eat this set, rolled his eyes, and looked out the window.

This Zhao Xiaolei is what we met on the train. After the puppet incident, the first thing I did when I returned to Star City was to ask Kong Xuan to follow me to find Jiuyoucao, but Kong Xuan flatly refused. The reason is very sufficient, for Southern Kong and Northern Xiao, the southern faction is biased towards auxiliary, while the northern faction focuses on attacking. That ancient tomb is the ancient tomb of Liu An, the king of Huainan, not to mention the mechanism or anything, the most important thing is that there may be ghosts and gods summoned by Liu An guarding the ancient tomb, if you can only go in two people, Xiao Qingcheng is safer to go with me, because she is better at killing gods and ghosts.

It seems to make sense, she went to find Xiao Tingcheng with two fire spirit beads, and Xiao Tingcheng readily agreed, but she said that she would go to find someone first, the tomb robbery expert - the fifth brother.

I have seen the fifth brother, when he was in the fifty-sixth district underground, his miraculous burrowing methods are still vividly remembered, Xiao Tingcheng said that he wanted to find him, I have no objection, and it is also because of the map that Lin Tao drew for me, there is only a general direction on it, and it does not tell us where the entrance is. If you want to come to the fifth brother's level of hole-making, it shouldn't be a problem to find an entrance.

Asked her why she didn't call the fifth brother directly, Xiao Tingcheng smiled helplessly: "The last time I was able to call the fifth brother, it was because he owed our Xiao family a favor, and after helping, the favor was written off, and this time I want him to make a move, it depends on what you can do to move him." ”

After discussing for a long time without a result, I finally decided to go to the fifth brother's hometown - Shancheng first, to see if I could move him, there are some things that you may not succeed if you do it, but if you don't do it, you will definitely not succeed.

There is no airplane and high-speed rail in the mountain city, the only railway station is still a small station, only one express train stops, and it is the National Day, it is difficult to find a ticket for the whole country, and I am in a hurry and don't want to delay time, Ling Feng has no way to help me get a sleeper ticket, and finally stuffed me two hard seats, which also aroused my contempt: "What about the deputy director?" What about the family? Phew! ”

Since it was not the starting station, when we got on the train, the train was already crowded, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze into the seats and drive away the two big men who occupied our seats. Actually, it's not in a hurry, but it shows a little bit of strength: take out a bottle of beer from the travel bag, hold the mouth of the bottle, put your thumb under the cap and use the /force/one/top, and with a 'pop', the cap is opened.

Seeing this, the two big men immediately let go of the way, and my behavior like offering treasures aroused the curiosity of the two opposite, and by the window was a girl wearing headphones listening to songs, who looked like she should be a female student, either a freshman or a sophomore; And leaning into the aisle was a handsome young man about my age, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, quite knowledgeable.

After a few glances at us, the female student ignored us and continued to look at the scenery outside the window and listen to the song, while the young man with glasses was very talkative, and as soon as I sat down, he immediately chatted with me enthusiastically. After a casual chat, I learned that this glasses young man Zhao Xiaolei is a staff member of a scientific research institute, and he did not disclose the name of the scientific research institute, which may be related to the confidentiality system, but he is not afraid to tell us the direction of his research.

"Our research topic is ants." Zhao Xiaolei pretended to be mysterious.

"Oh? Ant? Is it eaten boiled or fried? Do you want to put sugar? I asked casually.

"Seriously. Ants are small animals in the animal kingdom, but they have a lot of strength. If you weigh an ant and the weight of the object it carries, you'll be amazed! It lifted almost 100 times more weight than it did. There has never been a person in the world who has been able to lift more than 3 times his own body weight, and in this sense, the strength of an ant is much greater than that of a human being. When Zhao Xiaolei said this, he was very excited, and even opened his arms wide, to describe the big gap between them, which made me a little funny.

"Well, the task of your scientific research institute is to weigh the ant, and then weigh the things it moves, and then you will happily fight the landlord to play with the airplane, hey, it's time to get off work again, and the time for research is really fast?" I was joking intentionally.

"How is that possible?" Zhao Xiaolei knew that I was joking, but he still struggled to defend himself: "I definitely can't reveal the content of my work, but I can say that I don't have a penny of Lang fee taxpayers." ”

"Come on, now that the dime is going to be out of circulation, where is the cent?" I continued to joke.

Zhao Xiaolei seemed to know that it was not very wise to argue with me, so he simply ignored my interruption and said to himself: "Some scientific research institutions have studied that the muscles in the claws of ants are a very efficient 'prime mover', several times more efficient than the efficiency of an aero engine, so it can generate considerable power." ”

"Well, and then?" Hearing Zhao Xiaolei say this, I stopped making trouble and asked seriously.

"If an automatic device as powerful and dexterous as an ant's claw is applied to technology, it will cause a fundamental change in technology." Zhao Xiaolei said this, looked left and right, took out a small glass bottle from his close-fitting pocket, and held it in front of me mysteriously: "Look, this ant is big, right?" ”

The pale yellow glass bottle, about the size of a toothpick holder on the dining table, has a few small holes poked in the plastic cap to keep air circulating, and inside the glass bottle is an ant.

To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such a big ant, almost the size of my little finger. The whole body is like a black jewel, and there is a faint brilliance. As if sensing that I was looking at it, the ant spun around quickly inside the bottle, looking at me with big eyes.

At this moment, I actually felt that there was a life on the other side, a thinking life. There was an anxious look in the ant's eyes, which surprised me, and I couldn't help but rub my eyes, open my eyes wide, and find that it was just an illusion, this ant was just a little bigger, and there was nothing abnormal about it. I shook my head, just an ant, how can there be thoughts?

At this time, Xiao Qingcheng suddenly got up: "It's a little stuffy!" I don't mind if I open the window, right? ”

The train we took was a general express, to put it bluntly, it was a green car. The windows of this kind of train can be pulled up, and I don't know what happened to Xiao Tingcheng, so he suddenly opened the window, and a strong wind suddenly blew in.

Zhao Xiaolei and the girl happened to be sitting in the direction of the train, the window suddenly opened, and the wind that suddenly blew in made the two of them suddenly close their eyes, Zhao Xiaolei blinked his eyes even more, presumably in the dust, subconsciously put the glass bottle on the table, and reached out to rub his eyes.

"What's the matter with you?" The girl frantically tried to hold down her scattered hair, and cried out loudly, looking rather angry.

"I'm sorry, I blew into your eyes!" Xiao Qingcheng was embarrassed, and reached out to close the window again, but he didn't grasp the strength well, and actually knocked the glass bottle out.

The position I was sitting on was on the side of the aisle, Xiao Tingcheng got up and blocked me again, so I could see that the glass bottle was knocked away by Xiao Tingcheng but I didn't have time to catch it, and there was a faint sound of the glass bottle breaking, and then the sound was blown away without a trace.

"Ahh Xiao Qingcheng didn't care about closing the window, and covered his mouth and screamed in surprise.

Zhao Xiaolei heard Xiao Qingcheng's call, rubbed his eyes and looked at the table, and found that the glass bottle had disappeared, his face turned pale, and he let out a strange cry in his mouth: "I/day!" ”

Putting his head on the glass and looking at it for a while, Zhao Xiaolei sat down, saw Xiao Qingcheng's guilty expression, couldn't help waving his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, it's just an ant, and if you catch it by chance, it doesn't necessarily have any scientific research value in addition to being big." ”

Fortunately, Xiao Qingcheng is a beauty, if he is a fat man, I am afraid that he will do it now.

……

After getting off the train in Shancheng, I angrily said to Xiao Qingcheng, "Why did you let that ant go?" ”

Xiao Qingcheng glanced at me in surprise: "Hey, you can see it?" ”

"Nonsense, if a person who learns the Tao is so arrogant, he would have been beaten to death by a ghost a long time ago." I clasped my hands on my chest and looked at Xiao Qingcheng: "That Zhao Xiaolei didn't offend you much, right?" Why did you let his ants go? The ant was so big, and it must have taken a lot of effort for him to catch it. ”

"Since you can see it, then I might as well tell you that I feel that this ant is strange." Xiao Qingcheng frowned slightly.

"What's the weird method? This ant is winking at you? Or did you spit on you? Did it ever shout 'Goku save me'? "I rolled my eyes, the ants are weird? I think you are a strange person who learns the Tao.

Xiao Tingcheng didn't say a reason for a long time, and I didn't bother to ask, so I called a taxi and went directly to the fifth brother's house.

The fifth brother's home is located in the Meiyuan community in the east of the mountain city, this community is a relatively high-end community in the local area, because it actually has a swimming pool, for a county, there is a swimming pool in the community It feels like a tractor is equipped with a car navigation general weird.

walked to the fourth floor, took out a large number of melon and fruit gifts from the space bag and carried them in his hand, knocked on the door, and the door was opened by a young woman with a good face, presumably the fifth sister-in-law. There was a faint trace of sorrow between the fifth sister-in-law's eyebrows, as if something very important was bothering her, and she was stunned when she saw us: "Who are you looking for?" ”

I raised the gift in my hand and shook it: "You are the fifth sister-in-law, right?" We're here to see Fifth Brother. ”

"The fifth brother is out, and he will come back later." The fifth sister-in-law nodded, was stunned for a moment before turning sideways to greet us into the door, after sitting down, chatting a few words, Xiao Tingcheng smiled: "Sister-in-law, where is Taotao?" ”

Before we came, we did our homework, and we knew that the fifth brother had a daughter, Tao Tao, who was four years old and was deeply favored by the fifth brother, and if we wanted the fifth brother to be happy, we had to make Tao Tao happy. This trick has no technical content, but it is effective for all parents in the world.

Who knew that when the fifth sister-in-law heard Tao Tao's name, she couldn't help but sob: "Tao Tao has been evil in the past few days, and the fifth sister took her to find Master Youdi." ”
