Lao Lu shook his head: "When I saw that kind of 'monkey face flower', I was so excited that I didn't think about anything else at all, and I didn't know much about the growth characteristics of the 'monkey face flower', so I didn't pay attention to the soil below."

However, as soon as the old man mentioned the characteristics of that kind of monster, a thought immediately flashed through my mind - they specialize in eating human corpses, not living people, and can reproduce in large numbers during the plague, isn't this an amphibian?

"Old man, you said that the 'monkey-faced flower' may be extinct now, so it can't be found at all, what's going on?" Lao Lu then asked.

The old man sighed again, picked up the mineral water next to him and took a sip, and then said unhurriedly: "As I said just now, the 'Monkey Face Flower' can only grow on the bones of those monsters, but those monsters may have become extinct, because now there are no frequent outbreaks of large-scale plagues as in the past, so that the number of that kind of monster is getting smaller and smaller, maybe it is extinct, if that kind of monster is extinct, then the 'Monkey Face Flower' will have no basis for growth;

I remember that the Taoist priest also said that if there is not a place where there are corpses of that kind of monster, there must be a 'monkey face flower', but there must be a certain number of corpses, and these corpses are enough to change the yin and yang qi of the soil, so that the 'monkey face flower' can grow, you see, the growth conditions of the 'monkey face flower' are so harsh, so I said that the chance of finding the 'monkey face flower' now is very small.

The old Taoist priest said that when he was young, within a year or two after each major plague, it was relatively easy for him to find this 'monkey face flower' in the mountains. ”

After listening to the old man's words, Lao Lu's face was lost, his brows were tightly locked, and he was silent for a while.

Suddenly, the "monkey eagle" may have been in the bag for too long, moved slightly, and made a slight moan, which made Lao Lu immediately startled, and stared at the bag again.

Before he could say anything, he heard the old man say: "Okay, Lao Lu, I'm sorry, we've been walking the mountain road for a day, we're too tired, let's have a good chat when we have time, you also live on this floor, right?" ”

Lao Lu came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I patronized and talked, okay, let's talk again when we have time, yes, I also live on this floor, those two rest early......"

Lao Lu said a few words and left, but I noticed that when he left, he couldn't help but glance at the cloth bag containing the 'monkey eagle'.

Lao Lu's room was in the innermost part of the second floor, and the old man and I were at the door of the room, watching Lao Lu turn a corner and disappear into the corridor before we returned to the room.

I vaguely feel that the old man is still very wary of that old Lu, although he has said so much, but it is more of a temptation for Lao Lu. Although he talked about a lot of substantive things, if he didn't talk about it, I am afraid he would not be able to say so many things from Lao Lu.

When we had just sat down and had not yet spoken, we suddenly heard a slight knock, and the old man and I looked at each other, and we all thought - could it be that Lao Lu is back again?

I hurriedly stood up and opened the door, it was Xiao Lei!

Xiao Lei hurriedly flashed in, and then closed the door, we just wanted to speak, but he put his index finger to his mouth, signaling us to be quiet, and then lightly, picked up the note and pen on the table and wrote: "Where was the person sitting just now?" ”

The old man and I were surprised to see him so mysterious, but we already had a premonition in our hearts, so we hurriedly pointed to the chair that Lao Lu had made.

Xiao Lei tiptoed over, touched the edge of the chair with his hand, suddenly, we felt his hand stop, as if he touched something, sure enough, he quickly pulled out a finger-sized thing from under the chair, he carefully observed, and quickly placed under the chair.

Then he pointed out the door and motioned for us to go out.

When we saw this qiē, we basically understood that old Lu had secretly installed a bugging device on the chair he was sitting on just now!

This shocked me and the old man, why did Lao Lu do this, and who was he?

After the three of us left the old man's room, Xiao Lei whispered to the two of us: "Let's go to Xiao Ming's room." After entering my room, Xiao Lei immediately turned on the TV, and turned on it very loudly.

The three of us sat together, and Xiao Lei whispered: "That person just now, nine times out of ten, is a Japanese." After listening to Xiao Lei's inconsequential words, the old man and I were stunned.

Seeing the confused look on the two of us, Xiao Lei continued to explain: "Actually, when I was in the hall, I noticed that the man was always staring at the cloth bag, and felt that he was acting very strangely, which made me alert, and I also deliberately approached him to take a look, and actually found that he was wearing clip slippers, you all know that in this rugged mountain, it is the most unsuitable to wear clip slippers, if you don't wear it, I'm afraid it's difficult to even walk."

Not only that, but the gap between the thumb and other toes of his foot is very large, which is one of the main characteristics of the Japanese, and not only that, but when I checked in, I noticed that his ID card was Tohoku - but his accent was not Tohoku at all, and when he asked for an invoice, he said that the name of the company was an English name, but when he read it in English, he had that typical Japanese English pronunciation. ”

Xiao Lei's observation ability, reasoning ability, I know best, listening to what he said so reasonably, the old man and I couldn't help but nod again and again.

In Northeast China, because of special historical reasons, there are indeed many descendants of Japanese immigrants -- when Japan invaded China, it moved a large number of Japanese to Northeast China, and many of these Japanese immigrants were young people of 189 or even younger, and the Japanese Government hoped that these young Japanese would settle down in Northeast China and thus realize the occupation of Northeast China.

For these reasons, it is likely that Lao Lu is of Japanese descent with Chinese nationality.

Why did he put a bugging device in the old man's house? How much of what he said was true and how much was false? We don't know for a moment.

I thought that only the old man and I noticed that Lao Lu, but I didn't expect Xiao Lei to notice it too, and his observation was so subtle and his reasoning was so rigorous, he deserved to be a well-trained special operations officer.

After Xiao Lei found out that this old Lu was suspicious, he secretly observed his every move, just now Lao Lu took the initiative to come up to greet us, and went into the house to chat with us, Xiao Lei saw clearly in the dark.

This is the first time that the old man has learned Xiao Lei's ability, and he immediately appreciates and admires Xiao Lei. Although he also felt that Lao Lu's identity was suspicious, he couldn't do it like Xiao Lei anyway, so penetrating and observing.

At this moment, we suddenly heard a sharp cry from the next room, as if it was a woman screaming, and the old man was taken aback, and said, "It's the 'monkey eagle' calling," and rushed in.

Xiao Lei and I also followed.

At this time, we found the old man's room, the door was open, and a hotel waiter sat at the door, looking frightened, and in the room, the "monkey eagle" came out of the cloth bag at some point, stood on the back of a chair at the door, and looked at the waiter viciously.

The waiter was obviously paralyzed from fright, and he tried to get up from the ground several times, but he didn't get up after standing a few times.

The old man hurriedly walked over, and quickly put the "Monkey Eagle" into the bag, and Xiao Lei also pulled the waiter up, and asked him with a stern expression: "What's the matter?" How do you do this hotel? Why do you enter your room without the permission of your guests? I'm going to your manager. ”

The waiter was already in shock, but when he heard Xiao Lei say this, he was even more panicked and overwhelmed, and he stammered and defended: "Yes...... Excuse me, sir?...... I'm here to change the bath towel."

"Why do you want to touch this bag of mine to change the bath towel?" The old man asked suddenly.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then defended in a panic: "No...... No, I don't know why?...... What's the matter, suddenly that big bird from ...... The bag is out?? …… just".

He apologized a few more times, and then fled as if he had left quickly.

Xiao Lei winked, the old man picked up the bag containing the "monkey eagle", and we entered my room together.

After arriving in the house, the old man hurriedly took out the "Monkey Eagle", Xiao Lei suddenly bent down and asked the "Monkey Eagle": "Did that person take that cloth bag just now, and you just came out?" ”

The "Monkey Eagle" nodded vigorously and made a baby-like babbling sound. Needless to say, Yiqiē understood - it was the waitress who took the initiative to move the bag.

The bag was on a table in the corner of the room, it was inconspicuous, and the bag itself was ordinary, and the waiter claimed to be changing the bath towel, and it was common sense to speculate that if that was the case, the waiter should not have touched the bag, but this was not the case.

Based on these circumstances, it can be judged that the waitress may have entered the house specifically for the bag.

Could it be that this waiter was bought by Lao Lu?

"Alas, fortunately, the 'Monkey Eagle' was not stolen, and that old Lu's thoughts were in vain," I said gladly. But looking at the old man Ouyang next to him, his face was extremely grim, and he lowered his head as if he was pondering something.

I suddenly felt vaguely, is there something that the old man is still hiding from us? Regarding that kind of "monkey-faced flower", is there a mystery in it, and it is not what he just talked about with Lao Lu, is that so? In addition, the "Monkey Face Flower" changes color when it encounters the "Yin Qing Tree", so why does it also change color when it encounters the "Monkey Eagle"? What is the relationship between "Monkey Face Flower" and "Monkey Eagle"?

This series of questions came to my mind almost instantly, and I wanted to ask the old man, but I didn't know where to start.

"Why is Lao Lu so interested in the bag containing the 'monkey eagle'?" Xiao Lei asked suddenly, but the old man was still immersed in his own thoughts, as if he hadn't heard.

I just repeated what the old man and Lao Lu said just now, and Xiao Lei knew what was going on. But I didn't expect that as soon as I finished speaking, I heard the old man sigh and say: "Alas, most of what I told that old Lu just now is not true, and the truth is not like that. ”
