After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the male protagonist is not allowed to ge

No. 12 days after leaving Oroqen, Jiang Shanglu, with his two children, Deng Tao and Poinsettia, returned to his private residence on Shicuizhou.

On the small island, there is Christ Church full of chamomile, and there is also a first-class Italian restaurant with foie gras. Because it used to be the British and French Concession, it has both Hong Kong flavor and European style. People have an idea that they want to live here for a long time.

Although thinking about it carefully, the days in Oroqen are very memorable, and it is indeed very pleasant to get close to the mysterious nature once in a while, but in comparison, Uncle Jiang, who is full of lazy bones, is still I prefer this kind of happy life where I watch flowers in the morning and have morning tea, and take a nap in the afternoon to wake up naturally.

It's just that he didn't feel as relaxed as he had imagined when he came back this trip. Now that the Poppy Sparrow, which can delay the further worming of his body, has been obtained, he should also make good arrangements for certain things that he had originally planned. tidy up.

Wen Ying should have returned to Guanshan Temple safely without any accidents. Yong Jinnian met him secretly once in Heihe, and he also planned to go back to Y City directly.

If he has nothing to do now, he would really like to go back and see how his nephew Shu Hua is doing, but thinking of the series of troublesome problems that will follow, he is sitting alone in this Western-style compound building of the last century. The man in the small garden thoughtfully spread out the notebook in his hand.

The contents of the notebook are very messy, except for a large number of topographic maps of mountains and rivers and introductions of plant species, there are also some photos of text rubbings.

If Wen Ying were here now, he might recognize at a glance that this is a copy of the document Chen Ke gave him, and the handwriting on the rubbings of those words was exactly the same as that of one of his close relatives.

And Jiang Shanglu, who didn't know how to get these things from any special way, only took out his new pair of thin glasses from his shirt pocket, first squinted his eyes and wiped them carefully with a glasses cloth, and then turned them on Eyeballs that were not moving naturally, he held a black pen with his fingers and started a special work that he had been going on for the past six months.

"Popular Translation of Amsa's Folk Songs of Different Races"

For every plant-like human being, it is a collection of plant origin stories that may be the same as the human Kuafu chasing the sun and the female snail mending the sky.

Many children have heard the easy-to-understand stories in it, but few of them will really think about the extraordinary things in them.

The person who made the most direct contribution to this book was Wenying’s mother, Xiao Hong. What Jiang Shanglu has to admire here is that this lady who is said to be very bad at communicating with people is indeed full of writing and language talents. .

Not only has profound literary attainments, but also profound knowledge and a wealth of knowledge about various plants, which has also created her unique talent in deciphering text, otherwise she would not be able to write such a long and complicated text by herself. Translated bit by bit, I personally compiled these wonderful and mysterious stories, and it took less than 22 years.

But with her death, all follow-up translation work stopped, and many undisclosed contents of this popular collection of folk songs are still strange words that no one can understand.

And after leaving Y City with Deng Tao at that time, Jiang Shanglu, who wanted to thoroughly understand the origin of the allusions of the Ten Shuras, just started to get in touch with this aspect. Later, by chance and coincidence, he unexpectedly found... It is a breakthrough to completely save or delay one's own life.

Although he had been plagued by illness for the first half of his life and never attended a college class, his middle school teacher's mother taught him some introductory skills in text deciphering because of his interest when he was young, and he did have some extraordinary talents in language and writing.

His father always said that he was a little clever, and he never planned to let him inherit the Jiang family's family business. It was because of this, because before the accident, Jiang Shanglu himself did not seem to be a material who knew how to do business.

So when Jiang Shanglu began to consciously collect some of the rubbings about the Ten Shuras that Xiao Hong had not translated in those years, and started to translate Amsa's foreign language by himself, he gained far more than he imagined.

Yingque and Dai Tao were one of them, otherwise he wouldn't have found Oroqen and Kazakhs so clearly.

Other things are still in the fog of uncertainty for the time being, waiting for his further exploration and search.

Not surprisingly, his next stop after leaving Shicuizhou should be Tangre Yumcuo, the largest holy lake worshiped by Tibetan Yongzhongben believers.

There, he should find a way to restore strength to his body that has gradually weakened due to death, and it is the kind that even if he does not kill the living life with age to parasitically control it like other awakened Shuras, he can still way to become powerful.

At that time, even though his flower has completely withered, it can bloom in a new way, or even bloom again.

Thinking of this, the man who had been sitting in the air for almost an afternoon subconsciously moved his numb shoulders.

Winter was almost over, and those disgusting moths that were temporarily frozen in his body would start tormenting him day and night again, thanks to his old bones that were more resistant to tossing.

And after he took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it for a while, Jiang Shanglu thought about it or turned his head to Deng Tao who was hiding upstairs and asked with a smile,

"Girl, let me ask you again, did you really not hide anything secretly?"

"No! No! How many times have I said no! No!"

"Really? Girls can't lie to people casually."

"No no no no!!"

Deng Tao's angry voice came from the small room upstairs. Judging from the realistic tone, if Jiang Shanglu asked her seventeen or eight times in a day, she would really be driven crazy.

And remembering that he sent a letter to Wenying in the first week after he came back, but when Poppy flew back, he didn't bring anything, Jiang Shanglu smiled inexplicably.

He didn't believe that Wen Ying would not reply to his letter if he really received it. If he didn't have any confidence in his own charm, he would have lived to such an old age in vain.

It is probably hidden somewhere by the little girl, alas, let's look for it secretly later.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shanglu, who was actually not in a hurry, took out the letter paper stuck in his notebook, and solemnly prepared to start writing the second letter to Wen Ying.

[The second week of separation, the second letter to you, everything is fine for me, and I hope you are too. 】

[The trees on Shicuizhou Island have begun to glow with new vitality. The air is fresh and the temperature is pleasant. It is indeed a good place to retire. 】

【Forget if I mentioned it to you. After living here for two weeks, I feel that I rarely get angry with people. I used to be a person with a bad temper. I always have a lot of bad things. I lack basic patience with people, but sea water and trees are indeed the birthplace of life, and their togetherness can calm me down. 】

【The day after tomorrow, I will leave for a place with a relatively long distance. I heard that the scenery there is good, but to be honest, I really hate walking with my two legs non-stop. 】

[It's a pity that there are no deer used for transportation like Oroqen, and I am not used to yaks that taste weirder than deer. 】

【Of course, what I said above doesn’t mean that I’m an old and lazy and picky person. I hope you don’t get me wrong. I just want to complain to you. Well, you are the only one who knows this. 】

[Speaking of which, I’ve been thinking about something recently, because my father taught me this way before he was alive, so I always feel that I shouldn’t be too strict with children, and don’t be too harsh on them if I can give them the best, but I My little niece is becoming more and more self-willed, sometimes even more than I was when I was young. Thinking of the hardships I have suffered because of my own personality defects, I am very worried about her. 】

【In addition, today's lunch is my cooking. I am a novice in this area. This failed attempt also made me understand that there are some things that I am really not good at. My children have started to lose their temper at me. 】

【However, if you like it, I can try again, what do you think? 】

【Jiang】

Because it is a private letter between two people, Uncle Jiang, who is especially prone to boyish sentiments when facing Wen Ying, does not shy away from expressing his bitterness to someone. It is a pity that Ying Ying The bird is not big in size, and a letter that is not very long needs to be carefully folded and placed between her claws.

After doing all this with the fluffy poppy in his hand, Jiang Shanglu got up and was going to go into the house to make a pot of tea for himself, and then find an original document to pass the time.

And before he found his tea caddy in the kitchen, the poinsettia that crept down from the second floor approached him with small steps, and then the kid sneakily stuffed something into his coat pocket quickly .

"What?" Jiang Shanglu, who had already guessed what it was in his heart, couldn't help laughing.

"...Your friend's reply, Xiaotao hid it a few days ago. Alas, it was not easy for me. I stole it after staring at her every day. Uncle, don't blame her. She is young and ignorant. I Just help you watch her, it will definitely not spoil your business..."

I am very clear about what position I should maintain in this family, and who I should really help. Poinsettia has followed Jiang Shanglu and the others to pick up Cuizhou for so many days, and now he is also simply starting to read Braille and read books under his guidance. , in my heart, the young boy who is actually very young also has a lot of respect for this man who is indeed very good in all aspects.

And he also admired this very upright boy in his heart. Jiang Shanglu, who raised the corners of his mouth, touched the poinsettia's head and brought him to his study. After finding the whole set of tea sets, the two of them sat face to face again. After making a pot of tea, Jiang Shanglu was not in a hurry to read Wen Ying's reply letter, so he lazily glanced at the poinsettia who was secretly imitating his movements and said with a smile,

"Speaking of which, do you know why I asked Deng Tao to rescue you back then?"

"...En? I don't know. Deng Tao said that we are companions, but I think the reason may not be that simple. I am really useless to you. I am not awakened and have not entered the growth period. I definitely can't help you. I'm busy, but as long as you tell me, I can definitely—"

"Don't be in such a hurry to express your opinion to me. Just be clear about what you think. My purpose is indeed not that simple. After all, I am not a kind-hearted philanthropist. I think about it all day long. Picking up children to play with... You are a poinsettia implanted human, and at the same time an unawakened Shura. The reason why I found you was not because of some so-called companionship, but because I didn't want you to fall into the hands of others. Add me a new enemy."

"Enemy...enemy? What does that mean?"

The man's words sounded really gloomy, and his eyes were not easy to mess with when he looked at him strangely. Poinsettia's complexion was a little bad at the moment, and his hands and feet trembled unconsciously.

And he was not interested in frightening the child in this way. Seeing this, Jiang Shanglu only raised his hand to refill him some tea before smiling again,

"Literally, every Shura is actually the enemy of each other. The age who controls us will only choose the Shura with the most outstanding strength to deliver information and explain tasks. So far, it has been confirmed that four Shuras have died. The only ones who are still alive are the three of us and the other three unknown..."

"So in a strict sense, we are not actually a companionship, but a competitive relationship, because only Shura who really persisted until the end without being tortured mad by insects and who has the ability to survive can find Sui, Deng Tao and I have the same relationship." The common goal, I had a promise to her before I brought her by my side. Although she has a bad temper and sometimes is not very sensible, I know how to control her...Of course, I also wanted to find you Save yourself a little trouble, I don’t really like killing people, but sometimes there is really no way.”

What Jiang Shanglu said made the poinsettia feel a little cold. He finally understood the survival mode of these highly poisonous plants. He just nodded obediently and sensiblely to show that he understood, and suddenly asked Jiang Shanglu as if remembering something,

"Oh, that's why you're only planning to go to Tibet these days? Then why did you ask Deng Tao and me to go to the capital?"

"Let you go and do something for me."

Speaking meaningfully to the young man in front of him, Jiang Shanglu conveniently placed a small capsule bottle in the desk drawer in front of the poinsettia, and the older man just smiled when he saw the silly look of this boy who seemed to have never seen this thing before. Smiling and patiently explained to him,

"Short-term growth hormone stimulators, remember not to eat too much, one or two is enough, it will keep you and Xiaotao in an adult state for a period of time, and the two of you going there together are enough to deal with that matter, I have it in Liutiao Hutong You can go and live there casually as my nephew and niece, and I will go to you as soon as I come out of Dangre Yongcuo. If you have any problems that cannot be solved, you can contact that Yong Jinnian or... find A human with palm tree implants named Zong Mingyuan, the two of them will do their best to help you, don't worry."

Jiang Shanglu's words made Poinsettia a little confused, but since he had already made arrangements, the teenagers who had no other choice but to believe in him just agreed to all of them.

However, after today's relatively in-depth conversation, Poinsettia clearly felt that Jiang Shanglu's attitude towards him seemed to be a little closer than before. Not only did he give him the key to the study room so that he could come in and read at any time, but the meaning of what he said just now seemed to be thorough. Admitted that he was his nephew.

And the older man who was sitting in front of him and reading Wen Ying's letter seemed to feel his doubts, and he replied slowly without raising his head,

"Just take it as a reward for you secretly telling me about that hole. Oh, and thank you for getting the letter back for me. Keep it up, second nephew."

After saying this, Uncle Jiang, who seemed to Poinsettia to be very polite and educated to everyone, but his real personality was not like that, stood up and walked slowly. The back view seems to be quite happy, after much deliberation... probably because of the letter that came from afar.

And after Jiang Shanglu found another place where no one was around, and opened the first letter Wen Ying had written to him since they parted, after a while, the man finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

[I have received your letter, and I have returned to Guanshan Temple, don't read it. 】

[I haven't been to Shicuizhou, but it sounds like a good place, you should pay attention to everything, especially your body. 】

[Also, let’s talk about one thing. 】

[When I came back that day, I found out that the little monk in the temple had planted cabbage on the soil where I stayed. Planting cabbage can also be used as a meal supplement to help the temple. 】

[I have no opinion on this matter, but it is a coincidence that because my tree shape needs to be cultivated and there is no other soil to settle down temporarily, so I can only temporarily stay with these cabbages for one night. 】

[But they were really noisy, and I hardly fell asleep. 】

[Later, I was really sleepy, so there was a little misunderstanding, and then I scared them to tears. 】

【Seeing this, you may have already laughed, because everyone who knew about this incident laughed at the end, I hope you can also feel better because of this, and smile more. 】

[Because you look really pretty when you smile. 】

【Wen Ying】.
