Chapter 9: The Vines Swim

Dozens of meters apart, a thin figure came from the west, also stepping on broken steps, quietly sneaking over, because of the Golden Silkworm Gu, my ability to see in the dark has been greatly improved, it is a person who wears black all over his body, not tall, just a little more than one meter six, his body is extremely soft, like a black cat as sensitive.

He was masked, and with great speed, he was in front of a large glass enclosure in the middle of the botanical garden.

The glass enclosure was the third large man-made building in the Botanical Garden, and outside, I had seen it during the day, and I felt that it was gloomy, far away, and shaded by other plants, and I could only see a few wisps of bright red. According to the theory of yin and yang, the resurrection grass belongs to yang, and likes light and warm and humid weather, which is very discordant with the atmosphere in the middle, so I didn't consider going there.

Who is that man? How could it be so coincidental that he sneaked in in the middle of the night, what was he going to do?

Someone was there, so I naturally didn't dare to move, just waited quietly to watch him. In fact, I also felt a little unhappy in my heart, which was like on the bus, two thieves put their hands into one person's pocket at the same time, shook hands, and then a strange sense of competition arose.

In the darkness, the man quietly inspected the glass enclosure, the door was locked, he fiddled with it a few times, but did not open it, then took out a small wire-like object from his arms, held a shimmering flashlight in his mouth, and then prepared to open the lock. He was like this, which reminded me of the image of a professional agent in the movie 007, and I couldn't help but feel excited, but at this time, the old man who walked by before carried this powerful flashlight and patrolled back. The bright light shone brightly, and the man suddenly fell to the ground like a civet cat, and crawled towards the grass. A ray of light came at me, and I tried to lower my body.

Then a voice was heard from far and near: "...... You sons of mind, get out of the ball, get out of the ball......"

I was a little nervous when I heard this voice, and I felt a sense of nervousness inexplicably, saying, if I was caught, how would I explain it? Say you can't sleep on a hot day, so you crawl in to rest and chill? Or is it so beautiful that you want to sleep in the woods? The footsteps were near, and the sound grew louder, and the old man's accent was southern, and I was a little anxious to hear it, and suddenly, the corners of my clothes were pulled, and my heart jumped out.

I looked back and it turned out to be Duoduo.

The little guy tugged at the corner of my coat and shook her head desperately, the old man was passing in front of me, I didn't dare to speak, glared at her, told her to wait first, she pointed to the middle of the glass room, crossed her hands and crossed her chest, showing that she was afraid. When the old man was finally gone, I asked her what was wrong, and she could not speak, so she took me by the corner of her coat and walked out. I won't let you, saying that I'm going to find you medicine today, with that ten years of soul revival grass, you can become smarter, you will remember a lot of things, and maybe you can still talk.

She looked at me angrily and bit her lip.

At this moment, there was a sudden scream in the glass enclosure, and I looked up, only to see the thin black figure burst out of the grass, and he cursed a few times in a lost spirit—it was a man, and according to my experience of watching movies over the years, it seemed to be Japanese—and then he took out a saber, black, and swung it violently behind him, as if he had seen a ghost.

Through the light of the greenhouse farther away, I could see that what was wrapped around him was actually a few cyan rattans the thickness of an adult's thumb, with many fine thorns on them, like tentacle monsters in the Japanese manga, very flexible, dancing in the air. The man swung his knife a few times, neatly, cut a few pieces, then took out a spray, sprayed it forward, and the black mist filled the air, and the four or five dancing vines retracted.

Seeing that he had been exposed, he took a package from his body, rushed to the door of the glass enclosure room with two feet, kicked the wooden door covered with iron sheets, took out a few things from the package, and threw them inside. The old man on duty at night heard the voice and immediately shouted: "Someone, someone has stolen something, someone is coming, ...... someone"

He shouted and ran into the building.

My heart sank, mother, this is a bad thing, the matter is so big, it can't stop tonight. I wanted to retreat immediately, but the Golden Silkworm Gu hadn't come back yet, and I was unwilling, wondering if I could take advantage of the chaos to rob it, so I fixed my body and waited to see what happened. Seeing that I ignored her, Duoduo angrily stepped aside and pinched my thigh.

The old man shouted, and the people in the building were immediately alarmed, and the lights in several rooms were turned on one after another. But something happened in the glass enclosure that I still can't forget: the squeaks of rats in the darkness, and then a shadow swayed inside like a ghost. The Japanese black shadow took out another thing that was wrapped, like a fire extinguisher, much larger than the spray just now, and sprayed it in front of it, this time a white mist appeared, very violently, and it hit the darkness in front of it.

The shadows in the glass enclosure made a small beast-like chirping sound.

Suddenly, the light of the glass enclosure lit up, as if it were day, and I saw that the inside of the glass enclosure was full of greenery, and in the middle of it bloomed many fleshy petals of bright color, red and yellow, and its leaves were like wheels, and countless rattans danced around it, like living creatures. Hu Jinrong, the owner of the botanical garden, his wife, the old man on duty, and a man of five big and three rough men all ran out, Hu Jinrong heard the voice, cried, and said Stop, you bastard.

The five-year-old man and Hu Jinrong both carried an electric rod that flashed like electric sparks and rushed to the glass enclosure together.

"Bang!"

A gunshot hit the side wall of the glass enclosure, and the huge impact shattered the surrounding glass, and also stopped the footsteps of Hu Jinrong and the strong man next to him. The intruder, masked, suddenly with a pistol in his hand, pointed at the two people who rushed to the front, and said calmly: "You have come just in time, you, go inside, and help me take out the red fruit of this bamboo cage flower." ”

He pointed at the strong man, who was startled, raised his hands and shouted Don't shoot, don't shoot.

This person's Chinese dialect is correct and round, but at the end, there is always a bit of a warped tongue, which makes people listen weird. I only sighed that this person was so fierce, he couldn't steal it, and he turned into a robbery. But what is the red fruit of the bamboo cage flower that is worth the hard work of this Japanese boy?

It seems that Hu Jinrong has a lot of good things here.

The brawny man threw away the electric baton, raised his hand, and walked over slowly, his feet shaking. The Japanese kid pointed at him, and he still looked at Hu Jinrong. The strong man came to the door of the glass room, and suddenly knelt down and begged, saying spare him, there are old and young, and several mouths are counting on him to eat, he cried, hoarse, and the Japanese boy did not move, pointed at him, and said If you don't go in and get it, I will blow your head immediately.

The strong man shuddered and got up, then hunched over and went in.

I became more and more curious about what was in it that could make this Japanese boy take a risk, and make the strong man tremble like chaff. When everyone was paying attention to the glass flower room, the Golden Silkworm Gu flew back. It did not come alone, but attached to a plant more than forty centimeters, and this fat insect was small and large, and it was actually brought back with one fell swoop.

Sneaky, silent.

I took the herb and touched the little thing's head, which shook its head pleasantly and squeaked.

I crouched down and took a closer look at the plant: it was smooth and hairless, the stems were weak, knotty, with a faint fishy smell, like Houttuynia cordata, the leaves were large and round, the stamens were over six, the filaments were thick and short, and the grass was purple—almost exactly what Granny Luo had described to me.

I was distressed for a moment, not knowing if it was a variant or a fake.

I looked closely, it should be a variant, and I don't know if it will have that kind of strange effect. I had just wrapped the grass in a bag and tied it to my back, when I suddenly heard a loud scream, I heard the sound, only to see the strong man holding a durian-sized red fruit and running out, and after a few steps, there were more than a dozen movable vines the size of a baby's arm swimming up, wrapping their feet and pulling their heads, trying to pull him back.

The strength of the vine was very large, and it made such a strong man unable to move, and there were many barbs on the vine, which pierced him so much that he screamed and screamed.

The air was suddenly stagnant, and there was a faint stench, like a rotting animal carcasse.
