Chapter 9: Night Talk I

Blood dripped across the streets, then over the low ridges, and as it was nightfall, the drops of blood were not clear, and the jumble of drops of blood stretched over the hillside and eventually into the woods.

In the sound of swishing, the figure of the yellow dog shuttled through the grass and thorns, and from time to time it stopped urgently and turned in the other direction, its body no longer had the slightest intact skin, but it was still able to run through the dark woods, evading the pursuers above.

Lan Zi held a steel pipe in his hand, flying in the woods, looking at the figure walking through the grass not far away, this way, the tiger's mouth in his right hand had cracked a bloody wound, and his clothes and pants were stained with specks of blood, but the most surprising thing for him was the tenacity of the yellow dog that was still running away, what kind of monster was this......

If it was really an ordinary dog, I am afraid that it would have died in that alley.

This dog runs extremely fast, and his body is extremely flexible, he can't catch up on the ground at all, if one is not good, he may be bitten by the yellow dog who counterattacks, and now he is staring at the sky like this, the night is getting deeper, and there is no light in the woods, he stares at it a little hard, and occasionally seizes the opportunity to descend from the sky to give the yellow dog a few sticks, and occasionally he can't hit accurately, and the yellow dog dodges and runs farther.

At this time, he probably remembered that it was this big yellow dog that flew above the street lamp that night, and it was the big yellow dog that stayed below. Could it be that Aunt Tang made the orange for herself? But I have already stepped on the oranges, I couldn't see clearly that night, what happened, Aunt Tang is indeed a little weird these days, what kind of heart is she......

After all, he is a young man, and suddenly found that he seemed to be caught in something very weird and even a little out of reality, his heart was also a mess at this time, and he couldn't figure it out, and suddenly saw that the yellow dog couldn't turn around, and slammed into a tree, he also rushed down almost reflexively, bang bang is a few sticks to smash it, the yellow dog was smashed out half a meter away, and as soon as he turned around and opened his bloodstained mouth, he counterattacked, Lan Zi's legs volleyed back like a ghost and withdrew more than a meter, and swept with a stick, This struck the yellow dog firmly into the body, sending it flying again and rolling down a small hill next to it.

Lan Zi quickly followed, and the sound of Si Xi Suo Suo came from the darkness, and he flew up two or three meters in the air, looking for traces of the yellow dog down the hillside.

It was too late after all, and even though his eyes had adapted to the darkness to a certain extent, he could only see the outline of the thorny grass everywhere as far as his eyes could see, and he couldn't tell where it was moving and where it was still, and he cruied in mid-air for a few minutes, and finally determined that he had lost track of the dog.

Sighing, he rose to the canopy, when flying out of the dense leaves, the cold wind blew suddenly, at this point in time, there was still a gap between the coral to eat and bathe and then go to the tree house to play, at present this strange dog is still lurking in the woods, although it has been beaten half dead, but I am afraid there is still a big threat, he went all the way up the tree house along the woods, the coral has not yet come, and then along the road that the coral will walk all the way out of the woods, flying to the villa where her family is located, not far from the villa, only to see the door of the villa openSango, her grandfather, and the villa's nanny had already gone out the door, and there was a small car parked on the road, and someone was getting out of the car, and Coral happily greeted her, apparently a visitor she knew.

Two women got out of the car, and Coral rushed up and threw herself into the arms of one of the women in a white trench coat...... Maybe it was her mother, Lan Zi didn't get too close, just watched from afar, and then decided to turn around and leave.

It's good that the guest is here, and at this time immediately go back and use the walkie-talkie to tell Coral that she has something to do today, and that she will not go to the tree house and the garbage dump, so that she must stay at home tonight, as for the big dog...... He didn't know what to do for the time being, but who knew if this weird thing would remember the coral with him.

The thought of it makes my head big......

He turned around and disappeared into the night as fast as he could, even if it was very windy for a while. What he didn't notice was that the moment he turned around, next to the car in front of the villa, another woman dressed in black also subconsciously turned her head, looked into the void for a while, and rubbed her eyes suspiciously.

"Leanne? What's wrong? ”

On the other side of the car, the woman who was holding the coral in her arms sensed her companion's doubts, and also looked this way, and after a moment, the woman in black shook her head: "It's nothing." ”

*****************

Flying back to the dangerous building as fast as possible, the light of the walkie-talkie was flashing, it looked like it had been flashing for a while, Lan Zi sneezed, looked at the blood stains on his body, picked up the walkie-talkie, and in the walkie-talkie, Coral Wu said there: "Yangtze Yangtze River, I am the Yellow River, Yangtze River Yangtze River, I am the Yellow River, Yangtze River Yangtze River...... Lan Zi, are you here......"

"It's coming,......" Lan Zi pressed the call button, "I just had something to do outside, I probably have something to do tonight, I can't go to the tree house or the garbage dump, Coral ......"

"I can't get out either." Coral smiled over there, probably rolling over the walkie-talkie on the bed, "My mom came over today." ”

"Auntie?" It was her mother who was dressed in white.

"Yes, yes, they originally said that they were going on a business trip, saying that they would be in the field mysteriously for a few years, but my mother said today that she was on a business trip to Yuling, and she ...... giggles, "I haven't seen my mother for a long time, and Coral is obviously happy in her heart, and she can hear it through the walkie-talkie, and Lan Zi also laughed."

"That's good, stay at home with your mother these days, don't run outside anymore with nothing to do, especially at night......"

"I know, I know, Lan Zi, I want to take my mother to the treehouse tomorrow to play......"

"Beware of safety."

The two chatted for a while, and Coral said over there: "Then I'll go first, I'm going to install things, and when my mother finishes eating, I can eavesdrop on my mother and grandpa." ”

"Eavesdropping?"

"Mmmm, mom always keeps it secret like this and that, and hides it from me, but it will definitely be said to grandpa, I must eavesdrop on it, what mom does is very interesting, and tell you when I overhear it."

I don't know what her mother does...... Lan Zi saw that there was no signal on the walkie-talkie, and thought that Coral had run away, so she couldn't help but pout, in short, Coral won't run around anymore in the next few days, and it's probably okay to send her to school and after school, and then ...... He thought about it at home for a while, then took a shower, changed his clothes, and then went downstairs and pushed his tricycle to the dump......

***********************

Soon after, the villa on the halfway mountainside.

Since her mother came over, Coral had been bouncing up and down the villa all this time, and she didn't know what she was busy with, but anyone could see the excitement in her heart. She and her grandfather had finished dinner, and her mother came over suddenly, although it was also a surprise, but she had to let the nanny heat the meal for her to have dinner with Aunt Lian, who came with her, I haven't seen her for a long time, seeing that this daughter is still looking overenergy, her mother, the current academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xing Zhiwei, is also a little funny, for this daughter with a super high IQ but a strange personality, she has always been helpless and proud.

Hold her daughter in her arms while talking to her father-in-law while eating dinner, although she is recognized as a strong woman outside, but for this father-in-law, she always has awe every time she gets along, which is the majority of respect, after all, in the field she is currently studying and even its subsidiary fields, this old man is an out-and-out giant and authority, several seniors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are respectful when they see him, after they married their husbands until now, due to busy work, There is not much time to get along with the old man, a few months ago, because the two will be transferred to other places, the granddaughter may be moved around, the old man also called the couple and lost their temper, she was scared a lot, and even thought about giving up the current project to apply for a job to take care of her daughter, but fortunately, her husband stopped her, and the old man also directly advocated that his granddaughter be brought to Yuling. And this time she had the opportunity, so she hurried to Yuling to reunite with her daughter, and on the other hand, she didn't want to get some extra points in front of the old man.

After all, all the awe and trembling are also within the scope of the family, and the old man is usually not strict, but he doesn't get along much, so there is a little distance, and the old man's identity as an academic or a family member makes Xingzhiwei hope to gain more recognition from him.

Oh, only his eccentric daughter, can run around with the old man's beard, the old man is still happy, it is said that when her husband was young, it was the time when the old man reached the peak of academics, and he did not get much intimate father's love, although the husband loves his father-in-law, but it is difficult to give birth to such an unscrupulous closeness as his daughter.

While the two were talking, the woman named Leanne was eating dinner quietly, and after dinner, she began to patrol around the villa, installing surveillance cameras and improving the security system, while Coral sat in her mother's arms and pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between her mother and her grandfather - in fact, she also wanted to see how a super-professional bodyguard like Sister Leanne worked, but relatively speaking, it was always the conversation between the mother and the grandfather that was more attractive.

However, this kind of chatter at the dinner table did not involve any very interesting topics, it was nothing more than some homely things such as who and who are currently doing well, after eating, the nanny also arranged the room, Xing Zhiwei went to her daughter's room to take a look, and talked to her daughter for a while, the time was not early, her daughter's homework had not been written, watching her daughter bury her head on the table and do a few questions, she went to the bedroom, opened the two boxes she brought, took out a box of things, and walked towards the old man's study.

Entering the study, the old man was sorting out a few books on the table, Xing Zhiwei closed the door, took the box and smiled: "By the way, Dad, this is a set of pajamas that Wen Xi chose for you, let me bring it to you." ”

"Hehe, you know that we old-fashioned people don't have any habits of sleeping in pajamas." The old man smiled and took the pajamas, took a look, turned around and put the books on the bookshelf, "By the way, since you and Wen Xi were sent to Xincheng, it means that the research base over there in Xincheng has been completed, right?" How's it running now? ”

"It's on the right track, I heard that Dad, you were the planner of this base in the first place."

"Yes, but advocating the construction of this base is not to hope that my son and daughter-in-law will leave their granddaughter to work in the past......" The old man smiled, seeing that his daughter-in-law was a little restrained, he waved his hand, "Sit down, sit down, drink water and pour it yourself, don't say this, don't talk about this, don't talk about this...... I haven't asked much in the past few years, anyway, you and Wen Xi are still involved in making that pile of fruit, right? ”

"Yes, dad ...... in this regard" She knew that the old man was generally not untargeted, since she talked about this, she showed that she had some opinions on this matter in her heart, and asked cautiously, but the old man waved his hand again.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Yan Qingnian came to see me a few months ago and talked to me about this matter again, and he has been hinting at me about the development of the United States in this area in recent years...... He is currently regarded as Taishan Beidou in this area in China, but everyone knows that he has always been radical attitude, and when I tell this, I obviously hope that I can agree with his opinion, I am afraid of this dangerous idea and raised my head, I want to ask you, in fact, the opinion of your group of researchers is not the most important, mainly what is the opinion of the ...... 'boundary monument'. ”

Xing Zhiwei thought for a while: "Deputy Yuan Yan hasn't talked to anyone about his views on this aspect in the past few years, probably because he knows that there won't be too many people who agree, and there will definitely be opposition within the 'Boundary Monument', after all, General Lan sacrificed for this matter seven years ago, especially the new generation, and he still remembers the blood debt at that time, and I am afraid that there will be no agreement with Vice President Yan's thoughts." She said and smiled, "Especially Dad, you don't agree with this kind of idea, as long as you say a word, it is useless for Deputy Yuan Yan to do anything." ”

After listening to her, the old man smiled and shook his head: "Hehe, Zhiwei, you are also a scientist, you should know how persistent scientists are in what they identify, Yan Qingnian's idea can't be said to be bad, he is a good researcher, it's just that this kind of thing is too risky and too risky, not to mention that foreign countries are also researching, in case they have researched results, we don't understand, what should we do, this is a matter of degree, and even if you take a step back, he is younger than me, how many years is he still there?" How many years do I have left? ”

This sentence was a little pessimistic, Xing Zhiwei said: "Dad......" didn't know what to say, the old man smiled: "Don't talk about this kind of thing, you have the opportunity to come over this time, what is it for?" ”

"I ......" Xing Zhiwei was about to say, but suddenly stopped her voice again, looked around, and a smile overflowed from the corner of her eyes: "Xie Sango, don't hide, come out for me......"

The room was quiet, and after a while, Xingzhiwei smiled and walked to the side of the cabinet, before the footsteps were close, there was finally a sound from inside, Coral opened the cabinet and crawled out, her whole body was messy, and she pursed her lips slightly: "What, I didn't move at all, how did you find me." ”

"Who's your mother, Sango?" Xingzhiwei smiled and hugged her, "Okay, I know you're curious, but there are also some things you shouldn't listen to now, and it's no good to know......"

"Tell me, I won't talk nonsense......" Coral waved for it.

"No, it's not good for you to listen to it, children have to go step by step, your curiosity is too strong, but you can't eat these things now."

"Then at least tell me what the fruit and the 'boundary monument' you and your father are researching, why do you study fruits, mom and dad, you are not biologists, I have heard it, you don't say that I won't be able to sleep...... Ahh......h

"Leanne, she's over to you...... Sango, go back to your homework and sleep. ”

"Aunt Leanne, Sister Leanne, don't-"

Sango's voice became farther and farther away outside the door, and the old man smiled: "This kid ......" Xing Zhiwei also turned his head and said casually: "Actually, it's not a very serious matter, I heard more than twenty days ago that a corpse was found in a garbage dump here, which was originally a common thing, but when the news was reported layer by layer, it attracted attention, and we thought it might be related to that batch of fruits, this corpse probably belonged to an outlier that was hunted down by the 'boundary monument' four years ago, and the code name given to him before was 'Leech'." ”

"Hmm, can't you die......" The old man picked up the pajamas on the table and looked at them, then laughed, "This corpse, I heard, Coral was still next to it at the time......"
