Chapter 425: Not Knowing Poison in Poison (2)
With a "bang", the automatic sprinkler hidden in the broken grass worked, sprayed a finger-thick column of water upward, rose two meters, and then swayed with the wind and fell into the grass.
The grass is full of water, and the color of the blades of the grass turns green, thriving and full of life.
"I never thought that even the broken intestine grass could be artificially planted and managed so well!" Lian Chengbi sighed.
Under normal circumstances, plants will be pollinated, stringed, and crossed, and once the pollen of the broken intestine grass is spread by the wind and spread outside the courtyard, the plants around the 18th will suffer. In particular, the east of the small courtyard is the moat, if the water in the river is polluted by the poison of the broken intestine grass, the Daming Lake, the North Lake, the Xiaoqing River and even the estuary to the north will suffer a great disaster, and the casualties of people and animals are uncountable.
The only solution is to destroy all the broken intestine grass and eliminate hidden dangers from the source. Otherwise, if this courtyard exists for a day, the surrounding people will have to worry about their lives.
"Huh?" a drop of water splashed through the stinger and flew past the tip of my nose. At that moment, I smelled the smell of the droplets.
In traditional Chinese poisons, there are five types of medicinal tastes: "sour, spicy, salty, bitter, and sweet". The first four are found as long as they are poisoned and quenched, while the last one is the most insidious and uses sweetness to mask the taste of the poison. Over time, the more toxic the drug is, the sweeter the taste becomes. Of course, the poison itself has a fishy smell that only the nose of an expert can smell it.
"The water is poisonous. "I didn't hesitate to pull Lian Chengbi's arm and retreat.
Lian Chengbi's face changed color and he covered his nose with his sleeve.
If you look closely, the scattered water droplets have turned burnt black, and as soon as they fall on the broken intestine grass, the grass color has become much darker, turning iron blue.
The sprinkler irrigation equipment was naturally set up by Zhang Quanzhong, and the water source was also under his control. The only explanation, then, is that the water source has been polluted and is spraying "poisonous water".
"I'll go into the North Room, you wait. "I commanded the city.
"Be careful. Lianchengbi responded.
Under the successive changes, we have become extremely sensitive, and we have to look forward as well as backward. I left her outside just to keep her back from being wiped out by unknown enemies.
I pushed the door and entered the north room, but I only saw the ice coffin, not Zhang Quanzhong and the three Japanese.
Jingguan Xiaowu was still lying quietly in the ice coffin, showing no signs of resurrection.
At this moment, the ice coffin made a buzzing sound accompanied by a slight tremor.
I looked down at my feet, and the power of the ice coffin had been turned on, all seven or eight indicators were on, and the temperature number on the LCD screen was minus 12 degrees Celsius. According to the convention, the temperature of the ice coffin can be set to minus 5 degrees Celsius to ensure the safety of the body. Zhang Quanzhong set the temperature so low, there must be something strange.
Gray curtains hung from the doorways of the rooms on both sides, and there was silence in the room on the west side, and a slight sound of water came from the room on the east side.
I went east, leaned against the door, and listened.
There was only the sound of water, but not any voices.
I didn't rush in, but called out in a low voice, "Mr. Zhang, are you inside?"
Zhang Quanzhong responded, and three seconds later, he opened the door curtain and came out.
The moment the curtain was raised, I glanced quickly into the room and saw three large gray clay jars on the ground, each more than half a man tall and at least a meter in diameter.
Right now, the clay jar was filled with clean water, and wisps of mist were rising from the water.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry. Zhang Quanzhong said.
He said he was fine, but his hair, eyebrows, and stubble were all covered in frost flowers, like Santa Claus.
"The sprinkler outside is spraying poisonous water. I said.
"The people of Mt. Fuji are detoxifying Xiao Wu, and the poisonous water is discharged for irrigation, so that the broken intestine grass is poisoned. Zhang Quanzhong explained. As soon as he opened his mouth, a faint white mist erupted from his mouth, as if he was standing on the street in the cold winter moon.
"I really don't need help?" I asked again.
Zhang Quanzhong shook his head: "Absolutely no need, you can go out quickly." ”
I stepped back slowly, looking the other person up and down.
"Stay outside, give me two more hours—" He glanced at the ice coffin, a smile squeezed out of his tired face, "In another two hours, Xiao Wu will still be my Xiao Wu, and it has nothing to do with the changes of time and space." I will definitely be able to take her out of the shackles of time and jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements. ”
I've just seen it, the current Jingguan Xiaowu has not changed from when he was in the funeral home, and it is likely that Zhang Quanzhong's "resurrection technique" is also the emperor's new clothes, which has no meaning at all.
"Mr. Zhang, let's stop in moderation. "I'm kind of to advise.
"I can do better, and it's not just in moderation, hahahaha......" Zhang Quanzhong laughed.
I can't admonish Zhang Quanzhong, because in the realm of thaumaturgy, "interlacing like mountains" has become an eternal truth. What he understands, I don't understand, and what I think is wrong is not necessarily not an "extraordinary strategy" in this case.
"Really...... Miss Lian and I are right outside the door, ready to help. I said.
"I said, I really don't need help. Zhang Quanzhong's hands pressed on the ice coffin, leaning over to look at Jingguan Xiaowu, "If I bring her here, I will definitely be able to take her to a brighter place." ”
The frost on his eyebrows melted, and the water droplets fell, but he was extremely agile, and with a backhand copy, he had already swept away the two drops of water that were about to fall on Jingguan Xiaowu's shoulder.
People with this kind of skills will definitely not grow old. So I know that Zhang Quanzhong is only old on the outside, but his inner realm is forever young and full of vigor.
"Mr. Zhang, I sincerely wish you and her a happy ending. I let out a long sigh.
If he doesn't speak, no one can understand what the "No. 1 God Operator in Jiangbei" is planning in his heart, and he can't intervene to help him.
"Thank you. Zhang Quanzhong replied proudly, "Mr. Xia, throughout my life, I will definitely be able to get what I want, and I will definitely be able to do what I want - no exception." ”
I nodded, slowly backed away, and opened the door to go out.
The sun is moving westward, and the sun is slightly dim, just like the mood of me and Lianchengbi at the moment.
As soon as I went out, she leaned over and said, "How's it going?"
The broken intestine grass was still swaying in the wind, and the sweet smell of poisonous water was everywhere in this small courtyard, which was unbearable.
"Let's go out and talk. I gestured to the door.
Lian Chengbi frowned: "Tianshi, things are very troublesome, aren't they?"
I opened the gate, walked out of the courtyard with Lian Chengbi, and closed the door with my backhand.
The car carrying the three Japanese had already driven away, which gave me some peace of mind. After all, that luxury car is very eye-catching, and parking here will definitely attract the attention of passers-by.
Now, I only hope that Zhang Quanzhong can have a calm and safe working environment, and follow his plan step by step until the goal is achieved.
There is a cold drink shop on the left side of the entrance, and there is a sign hanging at the door that reads "Ah Shui Big Bowl of Tea".
I took Lianchengbi over and sat down at the bar in front of the store.
"A cup of flower and fruit tea, and a cup of bubble tea. I said to the waitress at the counter.
Lian Chengbi's mood was very low, and as soon as he sat on the high stool, he leaned down on the bar, his forehead resting on his arm, looking tired and drowsy.
The bubble tea came, I took it and put it in Lianchengbi's hand.
"How long do we have to wait?" asked Lian Chengbi.
"It's probably going to be a couple of hours. "I didn't paraphrase Zhang Quanzhong's words, and deliberately extended the waiting time, so as not to have more complications at that time.
"Those three Japanese people are not good, I wonder, they call Jingguan Xiaowu a princess - what kind of princess is this?" Lian Chengbi asked again.
According to normal thinking, only descendants of the Japanese imperial family can be honored as "princesses". With the rapid development of the media and the Internet, the private family life of bigwigs in various countries around the world has become extremely transparent. It is no secret that there are several princesses and princes in the Japanese imperial family, and even their private photos and habits are posted on the Internet from time to time by good deeds and become information shared by netizens around the world.
When I heard the word "princess" spoken by the three of them, I had already gone through the family structure of the royal family in my mind twice, and confirmed that Jingguan Xiaowu had never appeared in that personnel list.
"There are many reasons to explain. I said.
Big people have unspoken rules of life for big people, and everyone tacitly understands that when they interpret gossip news on the Internet, they believe half or half of it.
Most of the ancient Chinese emperors had "wild princesses and wild princes" under their knees, and I believe that the same is true for political leaders from various countries.
"Alas, Zhang Quanzhong's actions are really tyrannical and domineering, we do our best to help him, but he never treats us as his own. Lian Chengbi sighed.
I laughed: "Teacher Shan treats us as his own, but he almost killed us in the funeral home." Ah Bi, King Qin's way of doing things doesn't work in the thaumaturgical realm, you have to think differently. ”
Thaumaturgical masters are the elite of society, unruly, detached, and do not need to bend the knee to conform to anyone. Especially like Zhang Quanzhong, one person can confront the sky, so smart, why bother to give us a little resignation?
"King Qin will, King Qin will meet, King Qin will meet......" Lian Chengbi also smiled.
Before meeting me, she was the vanguard of the King of Qin's advance into the Central Plains, relying on the King of Qin, and she was very hopeful to take over the power of the King of Qin in the future and become a hot big man in the rivers and lakes. With her personal ability, this goal will not be difficult to achieve over time. However, she is now by my side almost twenty-four hours a day, putting aside all the major affairs of the Qin Wang Society, and no longer paying attention to them.
I can't reciprocate this affection.
"Ah Bi, after this matter, I hope you can stop and rest for a while, and then gather your spirit and do your own thing. I said.
Lian Chengbi raised his eyebrows slightly: "My own business? In fact, you should understand that everything I am doing now is both for you and for me. You are an important chess piece in the competition between the Qin King Society, the Yan King Society, the Beggar Gang and even the Japanese, and whoever can pull you into the Guild will occupy a favorable position in the competition for talents in Jinan. According to me, after the matter of Zhang Quanzhong and Jingguan Xiaowu, I will officially invite you to join the Qin King Society, sit in the Central Plains, and face the high-rollers from all directions. How?"
I immediately shook my head, ignoring the disappointment in Lian Chengbi's eyes, and replied with a straight face: "Ah Bi, I'm not interested in the struggle for power and intrigue on the rivers and lakes. If possible, I am willing to take the road of studying thaumaturgy and being kind to others, until one day, like the official lady, I will solve problems for the ordinary people of Jinan City. ”
Regardless of what kind of social role Aunt Guan has in the eyes of others, I have known since I was a child that it is precisely because of her existence that the old neighbors of Qushuiting Street have the confidence to fight against ghosts, foxes and demons.
There are hundreds of old streets and alleys in the city of Jinan, the earliest those who are more famous than Qushuiting Street, the origin is greater than Qushuiting Street, gradually disappeared in the dust of history, the houses that live there are decayed, people withered, and gradually become empty houses, empty alleys, empty streets, and finally even the names of the streets and alleys are forgotten. The reason for this is the lack of a master like an official lady.
Similarly, the back street of Tongyuanju is also one of the old streets and alleys of Jinan City, which was once prosperous and is also a must-visit attraction for foreign tourists. After this battle, I don't know what its fate will be, but it will definitely change. All I can do is to see the moves, protect this street, and protect the people on this street.
Although the dead soldiers on the street are worthy of praise, the dead do not belong to the category of old Jinan people. Just imagine, they don't even want their own lives, are they still in the mood to build a beautiful and harmonious Jinan City?
