Chapter 9 Mutations
November 20, 2013, the day before the winter solstice.
In China, across the sea, people still live their usual lives, day after day, year after year, with a constant stream of traffic. In the north, people plan early on what they need to prepare for the winter solstice.
"Old man, you said that Zhe'er went to Qingshui Mountain to play these days, why didn't he even make a phone call, will something happen?" In a European-style villa, an old woman with a kind face looked at her wife who was fiddling with flowers and plants while choosing the vegetables in her hand. This villa is the residence of the old man of Haining Jiang's family, Jiang Yunhaijiang.
"This sentence has been repeated since Zhe'er left, Zhe'er is already an adult, and it is time for him to be independent, even if we want to take care of him for the rest of our lives, I'm afraid we will not be able to do it enough!"
"But after all, Zhe'er is different from other children, he has become more and more indifferent since that incident, and besides, has he brought enough inhibitors?" The old woman's eyes were a little worried, but more loving. "What about me, when Ziqing was kidnapped, you didn't call Zitian and Zicheng every day, and counted their incompetence every day. ”
"In the past few days since Zhe'er left, Hanhan has run back and forth to our house more than a dozen times, Hanhan people are very happy, and they are very good to our family Zhe'er, and the most important thing is that our Zhe'er is not so indifferent to her, in my opinion, Hanhan is very likely to be the daughter-in-law of our Jiang family. Grandma Jiang fantasized as she spoke, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"It's not up to us to call the shots about this emotional matter, let everything take its course, and we don't interfere too much as the elderly. As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang, and Jiang Lao put down the watering can to see who it was.
"Who?" Jiang Lao asked while opening the door, there was a big boy standing outside the door, a white down jacket, black jeans, and a big black suitcase in his hand, the boy looked very quiet, his face lacked blood, a little more feminine, he looked quite introverted, but there was a bit of blood red in his eyes that ordinary people could not detect, that color, like the eyes of a dragon with a bronze mask on Mount Everest, and even more than that.
"Grandpa. Some indifferent faces showed a faint smile after seeing Jiang Lao, Jiang Lao saw that it was Jiang Zhe, so he gently patted the back of Jiang Zhe's head, "You kid, dare to secretly go to Qingshui Mountain to play without telling your grandparents, if it weren't for your grandma asking Hanhan, we wouldn't know that you went to Qingshui Mountain, you kid, you're really getting more and more bold, do you know that your grandma is about to die, we always turn off the phone when we call you, what's going on?"
"I said you old thing, why did you interrogate Zhe'er like a prisoner as soon as you came back?" As soon as Grandma Jiang heard Jiang Zhe's voice, she immediately stopped what she was doing, and her original sadness was swept away. Grandma Jiang took Jiang Zhe's hand, and said the words "I've lost weight after going out for a few days" while entering the house, leaving Jiang Lao standing alone at the door and shaking her head helplessly, "This old woman, she was still chattering just now, this face has changed so fast." ”
Jiang Zhe put the black suitcase on the ground, and then opened it, with Jiang Zhe's several sets of clothes on one side, after all, it's winter, and it's the right thing to go out and bring more clothes, but what is puzzling is that on the other side of the suitcase, there are more than a dozen bottles of mineral water. But when the two elders of the Jiang family saw the mineral water, they immediately understood what Jiang Zhe was doing on this trip.
"Grandparents, I think you have recently heard that eighteen cold springs have gushed out of this Qingshui Mountain, I know that grandparents like to drink tea, and it should be best to make tea with the purest cold spring water. Jiang Zhe took out a bottle of water and showed it to the second elder, Jiang Lao and Grandma Jiang immediately smiled when they saw it, it turned out that this trip to Qingshui Mountain was all about this child's filial piety.
"Grandparents, I'm a little tired, I want to go back to the room to rest first, I'll clean up these things later." Jiang Zhe didn't say much, but the second elder understood that this child knew how to be filial to his elders.
Jiang Lao nodded, and then Jiang Zhe turned around and walked to his room on the second floor, the second elder never noticed that when Jiang Zhe returned to the room, his fists were clenched tightly, and his fingers were a little white, and when he returned to the room, Jiang Zhe picked up the mirror at the head of the bed, in the mirror, there were still some feminine faces, but those pupils, originally only black mixed with a faint trace of blood red, but now, the pupils, red and black, are like a drop of black ink and a drop of red ink mixed with each other, terrible and demonic.
"Bang!" Gradually, Jiang Zhe's face began to be hideous, as if he had endured great pain, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he actually used his hands to break the lens alive, and the fragments of the mirror cut Jiang Zhe's palm into countless small wounds, and bright red blood slowly flowed out from the wound.
"Ahh
The most surprising thing is that the wound on his hand cut by the mirror shard is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the scar is meaningless, as if nothing has happened.
Jiang Zhe rolled on the floor of the room, slamming into the computer desk, chair, At the foot of the bed, the second elder of the Jiang family just took out a bottle of cold spring water, and was about to taste the tea brewed with the cold spring, when he suddenly heard the sound of ping-pong on the second floor, and the second elder immediately took a look at what happened on the second floor, but as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the second floor, he saw that Jiang Zhe's door was penetrated by a sharp weapon, and the second elder cautiously walked to the door and saw the scene they were familiar with, Jiang Zhe's hands turned into sharp claws, piercing the door, a pair of blood-red eyes flickered through the gap, he was roaring, Roaring, maybe Jiang Zhe had expected that he would become like this, so he locked the door so as not to hurt his grandparents.
"Grandparents, you guys go quickly, go quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late!" Jiang Zhe was trying his best to suppress that beastly nature, keeping himself awake.
"Zhe'er, what about your inhibitors, what about the inhibitors?" Grandma Jiang's tears had already fallen, she understood what was happening to Jiang Zhe at this time, and she couldn't bear to see Jiang Zhe suffer such pain.
"Grandma, the inhibitors have run out, I can't suppress it anymore, you guys hurry up!" The original five-hole door was now full of holes, and it would be broken at any time.
"No, if we don't leave, even if we die, your grandfather and I will be here with you. Grandma Jiang's words did not fall, "Bang." Another explosion sounded, and at this time, the door on the first floor had been blasted into pieces by an inexplicable force, and a slender woman stood in front of the door on the first floor.
That was Su Weiwei, she heard that the situation was wrong downstairs, and immediately broke down the door, and then went straight to Jiang Zhe's room on the second floor, and just around the corner, she saw that the old man Jiang was desperately protecting Grandma Jiang, and the door of Jiang Zhe's room was also scratched all over by Jiang Zhe's dragon claws, and it was about to be scrapped.
Grandma Jiang was overjoyed when she saw Weiwei, "Weiwei, hurry up and save Zhe'er!"
Su Weiwei nodded, "Mom and Dad, it's too dangerous here, you go to the first floor and wait first, I'll give Jiang Zhe a suppressant and then I'll accompany you." The second elder of the Jiang family nodded, and then went downstairs under the cover of Su Weiwei.
Su Weiwei saw Jiang Zhe's appearance from the doorway, and her heart couldn't help but tighten, "Zhe'er, it's my mother here, can you see me?"
"Mom?" As soon as Jiang Zhe heard the two words, the dragon claw slowly put down, and the blood red in his eyes slowly receded, all supported by Jiang Zhe's willpower. "Mom, I'm in so much pain, give me a suppressant. ”
Su Weiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Zhe regain her senses, but the huge body was still so eye-catching, Su Weiwei understood that Jiang Zhe's physique could actually adapt to dragon blood, just like Jiang Ziqing and Jiang Zicheng, but Jiang Ziqing and she both hoped that Jiang Zhe could live as a normal person, not a monster. Moreover, now Jiang Zhe can't control his dragon state at all.
A dark red quartz test tube flew into the doorway and pierced Jiang Zhe's neck, Jiang Zhe trembled, and immediately injected the inhibitor into his body, the reason why he pierced his neck was because Jiang Zhe was covered with black dragon scales almost everywhere, and the syringe could not pierce the dragon scales.
After more than ten minutes, Su Weiwei and Jiang Zhe, who had sorted out their clothes, arrived on the first floor, at this time Jiang Lao was waiting anxiously, and when he saw that Jiang Zhe was fine, the stone in his heart finally landed, "I'm sorry, grandparents, I frightened you." Jiang Zhe apologized. Grandma Jiang smiled and pulled Jiang Zhe to sit down, "It's nothing, grandparents should have gone on an adventure." ”
Old Man Jiang also smiled, then looked at Su Weiwei and said, "Weiwei, did you come back this time to send suppressants to Zhe'er?"
Su Weiwei shook her head, "This time I came back, mainly to see the second elder, and I will come back in a few days, I just took the first step, and brought Zhe'er's inhibitor back by the way, but I have to say that the frequency of Zhe'er's dragon phenomenon is getting faster and faster." ”
"I see. Old Man Jiang nodded, "Since they are all back, then wife, you go to the supermarket to buy some food, and let's have a family dinner in the evening." ”
"But the most important thing now is to call the renovation company and ask them to redecorate the room for Zhe'er. Grandma Jiang said.
"Didi ......" Su Weiwei took out her mobile phone, which showed Jiang Ziqing, she got up and connected the phone while running, "Weiwei, come back quickly, the last stone tablet has been found, we need you to decipher it, and rush back immediately." Su Weiwei realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately picked up the black coat, "Mom and Dad, there is an emergency in our institute, Ziqing asked me to rush back immediately, skip dinner first, and when the matter is dealt with, we will come back together, Zhe'er, you have to be obedient at home, don't make your grandparents angry." After finishing speaking, Su Weiwei left in the dust.
