Chapter 39: Vine Swimming
A few dozen meters apart, from the west came over a thin figure, also stepping on broken steps, quietly sneaking over, due to the golden silkworm compulsion, my ability to see in the dark greatly improved, that is a full body wearing black, not tall, just a little more than one meter six, the body is extremely soft, like a black cat sensitive.
He masked, very fast, in a short while came to the center of the botanical garden in front of a huge glass house.
That glass room is the third large artificial building in the botanical garden, in the outdoor, I have seen in the daytime, I feel that there is a gloomy atmosphere, far away, but also by other plants to cover, can only see a few strands of colorful red. Returning Soul Grass according to the theory of yin and yang, belongs to Yang, like light and warm and humid weather, and the atmosphere there in the middle is very disharmonious, so I did not consider going there.
Who is that person? How is it also so coincidental that he sneaked in in the middle of the night, what does he want?
Someone was there, I naturally did not dare to move, just stayed quiet and watched him. In fact, my heart is also a little upset, this is like on the bus, two thieves at the same time put their hands into a person's pocket, shaking hands, and then a weird sense of competition came to life.
In the darkness, the man silently checked the glass-covered room, the door was locked, he fiddled a few times, did not open, and then pulled out a tiny wire-like object from his pocket, holding a dim flashlight in his mouth, and then was preparing to open the lock. He was like this, let me think of the movie 007 inside the kind of professional agent's image to, the heart can not help but a burst of excitement, however is at this time, before walking past the old man to mention this powerful flashlight and cruised back. Strong light chaotic illumination, that person all of a sudden as a spirit cat like crouch on the ground, crawling toward the grass. A ray of light came toward me, and I also crouched down as low as I could.
Then I heard a voice from far away, "...... You ghost children, get the ball and go, get the ball and go ......"
I listen to this voice a little nervous, inexplicably have a sense of nervousness, words, if I was caught, how to explain? Say it's hot and I can't sleep, so I climbed in to take a break? Or that this place is so beautiful that I want to sleep in the woods? --The footsteps are close, the voice is also gradually louder, the old man's speaking accent is the southern dialect, listening to me a little anxious, suddenly, the corner of my coat was pulled a little, my heart jumped out.
I turned back, it turned out to be Duo Duo.
This little one pulled my coat corner, desperately shaking her head, that old man is passing in front of me, I dare not speak, glaring at her, let her wait first, she pointed to the middle of the glass-covered room, her hands interlocked and clasped her chest, expressing her fear. The old man finally went away, so I asked her what was wrong, she could not speak, pulling my coat to go out. I wouldn't let her, saying that I'm going to find medicine for you today, and with that ten year old soul-returning herb, you'll be able to become smarter, and remember a lot of things, and you might even be able to talk oh.
She looked at me with a puff of air and bit her lip.
At that moment, a scream suddenly occurred in the glass-covered room, and I looked up to see the skinny black figure leaping out from inside the grass, cursing out of his mind-it was a man, and cursing as if it were in Japanese, speaking from my years of movie watching-before pulling out a saber. -and then pulled out a saber, black, and swung it violently behind him, desperately, as if he'd seen a ghost.
By the light of the greenhouse further away, I could see what was wrapped around his back, but it was a couple of green vines the thickness of an adult's thumb, with a lot of fine thorns on them, like the tentacle monsters in Japanese manga, very flexible, dancing in the air. The man swung a few knives, sharp as a tack, chopped off a few pieces, then pulled out a kind of spray, sprayed it forward, a black mist filled the air, and the four or five dancing vines shrunk back.
He saw that he had been exposed, directly removed a package from his body to, rushed to the door of the glass-covered room two big feet, then kicked the wooden door of the masked iron, took out a few things from the package and threw them inside. The old man on night duty heard the sound and immediately shouted, "Come on people ah, someone stole something, come on people ah ......"
He ran toward the building while shouting.
My heart sank, mother, this is a bad thing, things have become so big, tonight can not stop. I want this immediate retreat, but the golden silkworm compulsion has not returned, I am not willing, stealing thought can not take advantage of the chaos to rob some, so fixed body, wait and see what happens. Duo Duo saw me ignoring her, exasperated on the side, pinching my thighs.
That old man shouted, the people inside the building were immediately alarmed, and the lights of several rooms lit up one after another. While this side of the glass-covered room, something happened that I still can't forget: there was the squeaking of rats in the darkness, and then a dark shadow shifted inside, like a ghostly shadow. The Japanese-speaking black shadow took out the package of another thing, like a fire extinguisher, much bigger than the spray just now, and sprayed it hard in front of him, this time a white mist appeared, very hard, beating the darkness in front of him.
The shadows moving around inside the glass-encased room let out a small beast-like wailing chirp.
Suddenly, the light of the glass-covered room lit up like daytime, only to see the inside of the glass-covered room green, the very center bloomed many colorful, red and yellow, its leaves like a wheel of fleshy petals, surrounded by countless vines dancing, like a living thing. The owner of the botanical garden Hu Jinrong and his wife, the old man on duty and a big man ran out, Hu Jinrong heard the sound, cried out, said quickly stop, you bastard.
That big and thick man and Hu Jinrong both carried an electric rod that flashed like an electric spark, and together they rushed toward the glass-covered room.
"Bang!"
A gunshot hit the side wall of the glass-enclosed room, and the huge impact shattered the surrounding glass, also stopping Hu Jinrong and the burly man next to him in their tracks. The intruder, masked, suddenly had a pistol in his hand, pointing at the two men who had rushed close to him, calmly said, "You've come just in time, you, go inside and help me take out the red fruit of this Colander Bamboo Cage Flower."
He pointed at the burly man, who was so taken aback that he threw up his hands and only knew how to shout don't shoot, don't shoot.
This man's Chinese was well-spoken, but it always ended with a bit of a warble, making it sound weird. I only sighed this person is so fierce, can not steal, become a robbery. But that colander bamboo cage flower red fruit, in the end, what is it, worth this Japanese boy so desperate?
It seems that Hu Jinrong really has a lot of good stuff here.
That strong man dropped the electric stick and raised his hands, then slowly walked over, his feet shaking. The Japanese kid pointed at him, his afterglow still looking at Hu Jinrong. The strong man came to the door of the glass-covered room, suddenly fell to his knees and begged, said spare him, the old and the young, several mouths are counting on him to eat it, he cried, hissed, the Japanese kid is not moving, pointing at him, said you do not go in to get it, I'll blow your head off right away.
The strong man shivered and climbed up, then bowed and went in.
I became more and more curious as to what kind of thing was in there that could make this Japanese kid desperate and make the strong man scared as if he were trembling with chaff. While everyone was paying attention to this glass flower room, the Golden Silkworm Compass flew back. It didn't come alone, but attached itself to a plant of more than forty centimeters, this fat worm made a big difference in a small way, and actually brought it back with a single move.
Sneaky and silent.
I took the herb and stroked the little thing's head, it shook its head cozily and let out a squeaky, thin cry.
I squatted down and carefully surveyed this plant: smooth and hairless, the stem was soft and weak, with knots, with a faint fishy smell, like the smell of fishy grass, the leaf surface was large and rounded, the stamens were more than six, the filaments were thick and short, and the grass was purple-almost exactly the same as what Granny Luo had described to me, ah, no, how did this Soul Restoration Grass have a weird purple color mixed with How come this Soul Restoration Grass has weird red and white threads mixed in with the purple color?
I was momentarily agonized, not knowing whether it was a variant or a fake.
I carefully observed, it should be a variant, I do not know whether it will still have that strange effect. I just wrapped this grass in a bag and tied it on my back, suddenly I heard a loud miserable sound coming from me, I sniffed and looked, only to see that the strong man holding a durian-sized red fruit running out, not a few steps, there are dozens of baby arm-sized moving vines swimming up, wrapped around his feet, pulling his head, wanting to rip him back.
The strength of the vines was very great, pulling such a strong man so much that he couldn't move, and there were many barbs on the vines, stabbing him to the point that he was screaming and wailing miserably.
The air was stagnant for a moment, and there was a faint stench coming from it, like a rotting animal carcass.
