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

Under a secluded tree in the depths of Xiaoshan, Wen Rong sat on the ground with a pale face and trembling fingers, and in front of him, Wen Ying, who had recovered her own body, was also waiting patiently for him to slowly recover. Come.

It's just that after waiting for a long time, Wen Rong, who was so frightened by his horrifying appearance that he almost fainted, didn't seem to be getting any better, so Wen Ying could only slowly lower his head to look at him, and then waited impatiently. He asked him in a calm tone.

Wen Ying: "Do you want an apple?"

Wen Rong: "Is there... any apples?"

Wen Ying: "No, how can there be apples this season."

Wen Rong: "………………… Then what are you asking!!"

I don't know what's going on, and I'm a little angry. Wen Rong was already a little scared out of breath, and his face turned pale after being provoked so deliberately by him. It took Wen Rong a long time to close his eyes before he asked him in a deep voice,

"...What the hell is going on here? Why did you suddenly change your appearance? Where have you been for the past six months?"

"I was injured a little, and I have been cultivating in other places. During the flowering period, I developed abnormally, so my appearance has changed a bit. I don't trust the local planting office, and I don't want to come out and cause trouble."

He didn't want to quarrel or fight with him at this time, so Wen Ying responded cooperatively when asked.

Wen Rong raised her head and looked at this face, which was completely unfamiliar. It can be said that the face of another person was changed. She knew that the physiological habits of these plants are always very special and she is not surprised, so she just looked after herself. After sorting out my thoughts, it took a long time before I frowned and muttered involuntarily,

"If it weren't for your tone of voice that won't change for many years, I would almost wonder if I'm dreaming now... I don't know if I'm not dead, I will buy you a piece The stele spends money to engrave words..."

"I have no money to return to you." Wen Ying replied calmly.

"I'm asking you to pay me back the money! Do you really want to fight me!"

Unbearable, she stood up all of a sudden, Wen Rong herself was also from the military, and she said that her legs were weak just now, she must have lost her composure just because she rashly saw Wen Ying who was resurrected from the dead.

And the corners of his mouth twitched and stared at Wen Ying, who was clearly trying to anger him with words. When Wen Rong was young, he became very angry when he saw his ability to put a dull face on people's hearts, and it took him a long time to deliberately sneer and mock asked a word,

"Since you wanted to hide, why did you come out to look for me now? Didn't you just come back on purpose just because you had something to do? But you seem to be very capable now. Not only can you play tricks, but you can also speak more and more to irritate people. Do you still want help from a young man like me whose surname is Wen because of your honor?"

Because of his sharp question, he was silent for a while, Wen Ying looked at him with a terribly cold look, and even though he was his brother in name, his stature was not up to par, so Wen Rong, who was shorter than him, was inexplicable Seeing that he started to bluff with her again, Wen Ying didn't say anything, but just spoke to him directly.

"I want to see and hear dawn."

"Oh? Why did you see him? Did you throw yourself into his arms and call him Dad while crying sadly?"

As if he suddenly found a point that could stimulate Wen Ying, Wen Rong tilted her head and smiled viciously as she spoke, and Wen Ying, who was really disgusted by him, had complicated eyes and a complacent expression Wen Rong looked at each other, and after a long time, he replied slowly, as if I was telling the truth,

"Only you can do this, every time you can't beat me."

Wen Rong: "You... you give me... shut up..."

The relationship between them was not very good when they were young, so the Wen family brothers who hadn't taken the initiative to see each other for several years finally decided to bring the topic of each other back to serious before they could no longer talk to each other.

Frowning, Wen Ying sorted out some of the information in her head, and didn't want to continue arguing with him like a child in a boring way. She just looked at Wen Rong in front of her and said in a relatively solemn tone,

"Not only do I want to see him, but I also want to meet Fang Zhen, Yao Congyu, Zeng Qi, and other senior generals who are currently in contact with the human military and the early Earth Plantation Office. I have a very important matter here. , must be conveyed to the human side in person, this matter may be related to the common safety of animals and plants in the future, I know that you are still serving in the military region, but you don't need you to pass the message for me, just find one as soon as possible. Take me in alone, and I can go find them by myself."

"But the thing you're talking about now is more difficult...and how can you guarantee that after entering, you won't be directly arrested as a trespasser? Besides, Wen Ying, do you know animals and plants? In fact, this place is about to fall apart completely? After Liu Changqing died, the newly appointed Chen Yongming has adopted a policy of ignoring and avoiding the already indifferent military department for more than a month. It is so difficult for two completely different races It’s not easy to get together and cooperate for so many years. What common security issues are you talking about now? In the eyes of many well-informed human leaders, you plants with many tricks are the biggest security risks..."

Because Wen Ying's tone became more serious, Wen Rong could see that there must be some serious problem on his side, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a scary-sounding request to him right away.

And Wen Ying has no way to prove to him immediately that he has enough self-protection ability now, so he can only look at Wen Rong in front of him and explain patiently,

"I can't reveal too much to you at the moment, but the top management of the Earth Plantation Office does have serious problems, so I didn't go to them, but directly chose to talk to the human side about this matter first, but I promise, there is one who is about to The common enemy in front of animals and plants is about to appear, if the animals are not prepared as soon as possible, and then the historical problems left over from the high-level management of land and plants are resolved, the follow-up problems will really be serious."

Wen Ying's words reached this point, and Wen Rong didn't know what to say. From his personal standpoint, he should actually be wise and safe. After all, he is still young, so there is no need to joke about his future for the rest of his life because of this kind of thing.

But this is Wen Ying, and it is Wen Ying who he has always felt guilty about and even cannot repay clearly for the rest of his life. Moreover, he was also a soldier once, so he doesn't really believe that Wen Ying's past behavior would be used for any private purpose to deceive himself. , So after thinking about it, Wen Rong, who was frowning, only looked up at him and sighed irritably,

"I know, I know, this is a serious matter, I still don't understand, but you have to give me a little time, in case you get caught, don't say that your name is very similar to mine, I don't know you."

"OK, thank you."

Wen Ying's sudden thank you made Wen Rong stunned for a moment, Wen Rong, who stared at him for a long time, coughed, the corners of his mouth curled up a little bit with joy, and he suppressed it forcibly and purposely face said,

"Hmph, some kids are usually very arrogant. Don't you still have to ask someone when it's critical...I'll go first. I won't tell anyone that you are still alive and hiding here...Including Wen Tianming, you Just continue standing here pretending to be a ghost like a wooden stake all day to scare people, and I will find someone to come over and tear down this broken monument another day, it is really unlucky to see..."

Having been cheated of his relationship for more than half a year, Wen Rong, who was quite upset, turned around to leave as he spoke, but when he turned around, Wen Rong felt that a heavy object was suddenly thrown on his head , he was stunned, and at the same time he yelled angrily, Wen Ying, what the hell are you going to do again.

But when Wen Rong looked down, he realized that what had rolled to his feet was an apple that shouldn't have appeared in this season. After a long time, the voice of someone who had turned back into a tree came from the light green apple in front of Wen Rong's eyes. Slowly spread out from the depths of the buds.

"Please eat the apple, I ripen it myself."

Wen Rong: “………………………”

After Wen Rong, who was in ups and downs, took the ripening apples given by her own brother and left, Wen Ying wrote a letter to her Uncle Jiang by herself... oh no, while she was alone with a tree.

When Poppy was squatting on his tree branch, Wen Ying casually fed some nuts, but she seemed to be getting more and more burdened, but she obviously didn't get any effective relief because of the heavy workload recently.

Seeing this, Wenying was a little thoughtful, and suddenly stretched out her hand and forcibly took away the nuts that had been given to Poplar from her mouth. , but he was stunned that there was nothing he could do about this domineering and cruel tree.

And on this day, after Wen Ying took the letter to Jiang Shanglu to Poppyque, he himself fell into another forced deep sleep. In this dream, Wen Ying, who was unconscious, also saw The strange picture that would appear repeatedly in his dreams these days.

Many people with scales and wings came out of the blue sea water.

A group of people on the ground are also gently swinging their own flowers and branches and leaves, watching them quietly.

The two human beings with different forms but the same root began to live mixed on the earth.

The people who come out of the sea are powerful, less dependent on sunlight and dew, and have outstanding group wisdom, so they quickly learn to hunt and build houses.

People who grow up on trees are growing rapidly, have a special way of sustaining life, and can survive only on dew and sunlight, so they are constantly multiplying.

Until some kind of abnormality that no one expected appeared, and it first happened to those unprepared humans who came out of the sea, and soon the terrible disaster began to spread, and even the people on the tree could not Survived, followed by a -

Waking up from the long dream, he opened his eyes suddenly. Wen Ying's face was a little pale, and his breathing seemed a little unsteady. He lay on the tree and slowly rubbed the space between his brows.

When she sat up and found that Yingque had returned, Wen Ying, who realized that she might have slept for at least ten hours, raised her hand and took out the things on her feet, and then slowly took Jiang Shanglu apart for herself. After the reply to the letter, the man who hadn't seen him for more than ten days also responded to the things Wen Ying sent him before.

[I have received your letter, don't worry about it, just let it take its course, you have also said that you have never known your brother before, so it is a good thing to get to know your brother now. 】

[Just imagine, when you were all children, you would inevitably be very impulsive in your words and actions. I can feel from your words that he is a person who has a strong sense of inferiority about his own background, but you should also see it yourself. He cares about you very much, and he values ​​family affection as much as you do, even if he doesn't say it or admit it. 】

[Although it is a bit wishful thinking for me to say this, maybe you will understand how much I cherish my family and family at my age. Although I really want to tell you that you only need me alone. Wen Ying, what am I I can do it for you, but I actually hope that you can have friends who treat you well and family members who treat you well. 】

[So next time you see him, don't keep thinking about the past. I think you should be able to do well without me telling you. You are just still aggrieved by what happened to your mother. I understand. 】

[I'm sorry because there is a big age difference between my deceased elder brother and me, and my relationship with him has always been closer to that of a father and son, so I can't give you any better advice on how to get along, but I really envy you, There is also a big brother who is about the same age. 】

[I have been suffering from insomnia for the past few days, and there are some stressful things that are bothering me. I didn't want you to know, but it may be that I am always a little uncontrollable weak in front of you. 】

【Your letter is like the best medicine, even if I am sick, I will recover immediately. 】

【Jiang】

……

Since that night, Jiang Shanglu forcibly took Ji Congyun out three times, and every time Chen Ke took him back, he would lose his temper.

At least when Jiang Shanglu saw Ji Congyun again, he would only have more hideous scars from being beaten by various things than last time.

"He has already started to get impatient, and he is going to go to those bases to pick a more desirable plant test subject...Maybe in a few days, you can use any reason to bring me out completely."

Put on the bed by Jiang Shanglu to deal with burns and wounds on his body, Ji Congyun, whose eyes were numb, looked a little forced to smile, and his pale face tortured by the pain of the wound was a bit pathetic, but his face was expressionless when he said that Jiang Shanglu just frowned and didn't speak. It took him a long time to put his shirt back on and then sat on the bedside and said slowly,

"Second Lieutenant Ji, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Mr. Jiang, you are helping me, I won't be ignorant of good and bad."

The communication between two people is always very boring. Jiang Shanglu has to use all kinds of absurd behaviors recently to make himself look more crazy, barbaric and unreasonable. The defense has obviously been relaxed a lot than before.

Tomorrow noon, he will go to Chen Yongming's house to have lunch with him, and discuss the details of some future cooperation. Thinking of this, Jiang Shanglu with cold eyes only lightly shook the cigarette ash on his fingers, and then rushed to the weak-looking Ji Congyun smiled lazily and said,

"It is impossible to hope to completely win the trust of Chen Yongming, but my purpose is not here. All the things in those bases must be destroyed. People like Chen Yongming cannot continue to sit in this position. Once you regain your freedom , just help me take away the oleander and poinsettia that are still living in Liutiao Hutong, Major Zong Mingyuan from the Operations Department of the Land Planting Office will assist you, don’t worry.”

"Ok, I will."

Jiang Shanglu's words are still very reassuring, and Ji Congyun also believes in him from the bottom of his heart, and is willing to listen to his words. At noon the next day, Jiang Shanglu, as usual, came out of the hotel with a ridiculous appearance of only waking up late at night. Come out slowly.

And when he took Ji Congyun to Chen Yongming's house, the old man who had obviously been waiting for him stood at the stairs and looked at Jiang Shanglu expressionlessly for a while, seeing that this man seemed to be coaxing something When Ji Congyun, with a sluggish expression, slowly knelt down in front of him like a pet that could be abused at will for himself to play with, the old man who was somewhat satisfied suddenly couldn't help laughing, and coughed pretendingly to fight him. said hello,

"Shanglu, you seem to know how to raise more things than Keke. Look at how obedient you raise NO.13."

"Maybe, but young people are always relatively inexperienced. I am really familiar with these delicate flowers and plants."

He loosened Ji Congyun's chin, squinted his eyes, leaned on the sofa and rushed to him. Chen Yongming smiled. Jiang Shanglu lazily raised his head and smoked, looking cold and scary, but the more he was like this, Chen Yongming would I believe more and more that this is a horrible monster who is as depraved and dirty as he is, swallowing his own kind for a living, and even his body is full of ugly worm eyes.

And with such a pleasant thought, this old man who is now prominent and almost untouchable in the local plantation office only coughed slightly uncomfortable in the choking smell of smoke, and then he was very easy-going. Looking cordially at Jiang Shanglu, who looked ugly and frightened with white lips, he said with a smile,

"Are you interested in chatting with me alone for a while? I want to talk to you about something serious."

"of course."

After pressing down the cigarette butt with his fingers, Jiang Shanglu stood up unsteadily and touched Ji Congyun's head, which was kneeling, and tidied his clothes before going upstairs to the study with Chen Yongming.

When he passed a window in the upstairs corridor, he suddenly saw Chen Ke, who was smiling in the garden below, who seemed to be holding a young man who looked a little like Ji Congyun, but not quite like him, and was careful on his broken leg. Seeing this, Chen Yongming just stopped with him and looked at the scene outside with a loving smile,

"That's No. 13, and it's also an unsuccessful experiment, but Ke Ke is actually easy to coax, like a child who hasn't grown up... If you like No. [-], just take it away, there will always be a chance in the future come up with something more successful."

"Thank you then."

He casually thanked Jiang Shanglu, but Chen Yongming didn't seem to care about Jiang Shanglu's arrogant and rude attitude. The two continued to talk and went into the study together. After sitting down at the desk, Chen Yongming First he poured himself a glass of water and took a handful of medicines on the table, then covered his lips and coughed, then slowly said to Jiang Shanglu in front of him,

"Shanglu, you've only been awakened for more than half a year, haven't you?"

"Yes, thanks to the hospitality of your old friend Minister Liu Changqing, my awakening process was very painful. The feeling of being pierced through the heart by a thorn flower is still clearly in my mind."

Seeing that he seemed to be angry with himself again, Chen Yongming shook his head and smiled helplessly. After taking off his gloved hands all the year round, he showed Jiang Shanglu, who raised his eyebrows, that he had nothing but bones With his right hand, the smiling Chen Yong winked at him with an obviously inscrutable way, and said,

"I have been awakened for more than 30 years. I used to be full of rejection and anger towards Shura's identity like you, but I soon found a way to adjust myself. I want to live just like you. Coincidentally, when I was young, I was also very similar to you in other aspects. In terms of material things, I lacked nothing, had many unique advantages, and was a little smart, so I began to work hard to find a suitable way to save my life. life, and also made two very important friends to me."

"The Dizhi Office had just developed at that time, and I joined two other young people around my age in this early political chaos, and then they also developed their own worlds by coincidence. Yes, you are right, Shanglu, one of them is Liu Changqing from the investigation department."

Speaking of this, Chen Yongming glanced at Jiang Shanglu in front of him, and saw that Jiang Shanglu was staring at him with a half-smile, obviously waiting for the next one, so the white-haired old man didn't deliberately pretend to be a joke, just smiled and said while recalling,

"Liu Changqing has been very conceited since she was young, and always looked down on others, so when she became powerful, she always gave me and my other friend a face, but I am used to keeping my own in front of others. Strength, at least me and the Discovery Department I manage have not been visible for so many years, and there is a reason why I didn't choose to show up until Liu Changqing completely fell."

"And another friend of mine is a kind person full of sense of justice. At least after I deliberately revealed my Asura identity to him, he didn't show any discrimination against me. On the contrary, he enthusiastically started join me in finding a way to continue my life..."

"It's a pity, he is still too ignorant, and he accidentally saw that I was deliberately inducing Liu Changqing to do those things, so I can only choose to abandon my friend who can always help me a lot. Xiao Ao is the eternal hero in everyone's hearts. This is the best compliment I can give him. I think his spirit in the sky should also be grateful to me, but sometimes I can't help but feel guilty when I think about it. .”

This kind of tone is quite hypocritical. Jiang Shanglu had vaguely guessed the things between Chen Yongming, Xiao Ao and Liu Changqing before, but he couldn't help laughing because of his pretentious despicable appearance, and his face maintained After hearing what he said with great interest, Jiang Shanglu, who was sitting opposite him, raised his mouth grumpily, and it took him a long time to cooperate with this vicious old man and say,

"At least you won, didn't you? Winning or losing is the most important thing."

"That's right, who told him to choose to believe in an Asura? From the moment I awakened, I was destined to be different from them... Maybe you can't quite see what I used to be, right? I am a scorpion plant, full of poison just like you, but it is not important, I have found a way to maintain my eternal life, and now I want to share this method with you, a person who is very different from my life. Similar smart people, at least until I find Sui, I also need an excellent helper like you by my side, those human military forces that get in the way, and all kinds of trees and flowers, have to be cleaned up one by one..."

"I will. I want to live more than you. As long as you give me what I want, I will repay you well."

Pale and thin fingers tapped slowly on the table as he said so, Jiang Shanglu's answer with a cold smile made Chen Yongming nod in satisfaction, and then he didn't continue to make it clear that his method of always keeping things secret was What, I greeted Jiang Shanglu to go downstairs with him and have lunch first.

But this strange lunch was not attended by Chen Ke. Except for Ji Congyun, who was completely belonging to Jiang Shanglu's personal belongings, and who was sitting blankly beside him at the moment, there was only Chen Yongming, a dead old man who had to take a breath every three steps.

"Shanglu, try it, I think you will like this taste very much."

Raising his hand to signal Jiang Shanglu to take a bite of the plate in front of him, Jiang Shanglu squinted his eyes and looked at the plate of delicious-looking meat soup, and then gracefully took a shallow sip with the spoon in his hand.

When he took it in the mouth, his tongue coating obviously tasted a somewhat weird taste, a bit similar to the deliciousness of fungi, and a bit like some kind of meat, and before he could comment on the taste of this dish, the old man Chen Yongming was already eating his lunch comfortably while smiling and slowly said,

"I think you already know that the so-called age is not an animal, nor a plant, but a parasitic fungus, or microorganism, but have you ever thought that since there are animal bodies in this world? Humans and plant-like humans, is it possible that there are microorganisms human beings? Bacteria, fungi, and many microorganisms that seem to have a weak sense of existence, will they become the third form of human beings through continuous evolution? Woolen cloth?"

Saying this, Chen Yongming also stopped his movements for a while. He noticed that Jiang Shanglu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head to look at him, and the old man just looked at him very calmly when he saw this, and raised his eyebrows again. The corner of the mouth said in a creepy tone,

"Yes, that's it. Sui is such an existence, so we who are controlled by him are also such an existence. The method I told you is also a few years ago when I occasionally ate Ganoderma lucidum tonic because of my poor health. I just thought of it when I said it, and it was really accidental..."

"I was looking at the precious Ganoderma lucidum, and I was thinking, since we Shura are similar to fungi, is it possible to make them grow more and more by cultivating edible fungi? In this way, I can There is a steady stream of supplements that are more useful than Ganoderma lucidum for me to eat, making me stronger and stronger, do you think this method is very good? En?"

……

Jiang Shanglu's car didn't stop until it was far away from Chen Yongming's home. Ji Congyun, who heard all the truth from the sidelines from the beginning to the end, had been paying attention to Chen Yongming's ugly face from the beginning. Jiang Shanglu remained calm in front of him.

After seeing that he finally stopped the car, opened the car door and ran outside, Ji Congyun, who was nervous, also hurriedly followed, but when he saw that the man who was always too strong to be defeated was so embarrassed, Ji Congyun's eyes immediately turned red unbearably as he bent over and covered his stomach in pain.

"Jiang... Mr. Jiang..."

"...Turn your head away, don't look at me."

He closed his eyes tiredly and didn't even want to move. He was forced to eat everything on that plate at Chen Yongming's house just now, so now Jiang Shanglu only feels that his entire stomach is violently churning, a very terrible sense of guilt It is also more and more real tormenting his nerves.

And at this time, he suddenly understood why Xiao Ao always distrusted himself so much. Perhaps in the eyes of the old man who had suffered a lot, he was something that he should take good precautions against. Bar……

"Congyun, do you think I have become... a monster similar to Chen Yongming?"

After simply rinsing his mouth with water, he returned to the car and sat down slowly. When Jiang Shanglu with pale lips was leaning motionless on the driver's seat, he suddenly said something to Ji Congyun beside him, and noticed that he was It's really uncomfortable, Ji Congyun who heard the words just looked at him sympathetically and then held back his tears and said firmly to him,

"No, you are a good person, you will never become a monster like him... I believe in you, and Wen Ying will definitely believe in you."

"Yes, I still have Wen Ying..."

Because of this name that made his heart soft, Jiang Shanglu suddenly pulled the corner of his pale mouth, and Jiang Shanglu, who covered his eyes with his hands, turned his head to the side and smiled after a while, then said to Ji Congyun in a very light and slow tone,

"Although I know you won't do this, I still solemnly ask you. No matter what happens in the future, please don't tell Wen Ying what happened today. I have my responsibility now. He Also, I really don't want him to know what I have done... Thank you, Congyun."
