When the magic flower blooms

After a lot of tossing, Ming Ruoxing still couldn't eat the eel feast he was thinking of.However, the other food brought back from the village has already filled the entire refrigerator, and it may take a few days for the two of them to slowly digest it.

In the afternoon, while He Tiansi was taking a nap, Ming Ruoxing went to the station at the entrance of the village to pick up the medicine delivered by express from the headquarters.He gave the new medicine to Uncle Guang and immediately arranged for He Tiansi to take it every day.

At the same time, another less urgent arrangement was forced on the agenda by Ming Ruoxing—he wanted to take He Tiansi to the Yaren Hospital to find out what happened to the recent abnormal situation. thing.

This is a somewhat risky decision.After all, the two of them "had just met each other not long ago", so they rashly asked to go out together, and they still went to other places, it was very easy for He Tiansi to doubt his identity.

But on the other hand, if it continues to be delayed so unclearly, if the situation worsens, the consequences will be even more immeasurable.

These two thoughts were at war internally, and the latter quickly gained the upper hand.Ming Ruoxing knew that he must not let any mistakes happen to He Tiansi again.

In order to increase the success rate of the invitation, he deliberately chose the timing when He Tiansi just woke up from a nap and was ignorant.

"How about going to City S tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"

"... City S? What are you going to do in City S?" He Tiansi rubbed his eyes.

"Aren't you worried yourself? If you fall down in the lotus pond, you will fall down. I have a few acquaintances in the Yaren Hospital in the city. They can help you do a set of in-depth examinations."

"Demihuman hospital? The one that treats animals?"

"...That's the veterinary station. The demihuman hospital looks like an ordinary private hospital, but it only accepts demihumans."

"Then what can we check?"

"Blood drawing and filming for CT are inevitable, and I'm not sure about the others."

"Will it hurt?"

"A big man like you is afraid of this and that?!"

Vicious people, especially He Tiansi, are really addictive, Ming Ruoxing took a deep breath, trying to regain the feeling of gentleness.

"The inspection of demihumans is similar to that of ordinary people, so there is nothing to worry about."

"About a few days?"

"Two days, you can spend one night in my rented house."

"..."

He Tiansi, who was always straightforward, suddenly fell silent.It could be seen that he seemed to be worried about something, but he hesitated to say it.

"What's the problem?" Ming Ruoxing simply asked.

"No...it's okay. Let's go then!"

Returning to normal in an instant, He Tiansi nodded briskly, as if the hesitation just now was just an illusion.

Seeing his performance of turning his face like flipping through a book, Ming Ruoxing was a little funny, but also a little bit uncomfortable.

"Ask a few more questions! Are you not afraid that I will trick you into selling you in the city?"

"Then how much do you think I'm worth?"

"...I don't even want to post it backwards."

"Then it's over."

He has been an optimist man all his life, even though he lost his memory, he still shines brightly like the sun, as if wherever he looks, there is no haze in this world.

-

In the past two years, He Tiansi has been undergoing regular physical examinations by the Institute of the Asian Security Bureau.It's just that every time a researcher pretending to be a rehabilitation doctor comes to provide service.Uncle Guang's family would occasionally go shopping or visit relatives in the city, but they never brought He Tiansi with them.

So, tomorrow's trip to City S is actually his first time traveling far since he came to Jinyu Village.

That night, He Tiansi was as excited as a primary school student looking forward to a spring outing.Even though it was only two days and one night, he still packed his luggage very carefully, as if what he was about to go was not a bustling metropolis, but a deep mountain forest where supplies were scarce and birds didn't shit.

At about one o'clock in the morning, when he got up for the third time and was about to stuff things into the suitcase, Ming Ruo, who was woken up, became furious, snatched the suitcase with his eyes closed, clicked the lock, then tightened his grip on the key and turned his head. Fall asleep again.

After that, there was finally a night of nothing.

Five hours later, taking advantage of the last breath of coolness before sunrise, the refreshed Ming Ruoxing pushed open the courtyard door; behind him was He Tiansi, who had a pair of big dark circles hanging on his eyes, and dragged the girl who tossed him for a long time. accommodation suitcase.

The morning bus No. 101 took them to Changle Town in one go, and from Changle Town they boarded a short-distance bus bound for S City.

After two hours of driving, the driver unloaded the entire vehicle at the South Passenger Transport Station in S City.Looking at the bustling tourists, He Tiansi, a pseudo-indigenous man who came out of the small mountain village, let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Have I never seen so many people in my life..."

Of course, there were many other things that surprised him this day.

Ming Ruoxing led him out of the bus station and got on a bus.This is the kind of sightseeing bus that is hard to see in other cities nowadays. It is double-decker and red, like a bright and clumsy large cetacean.

It happened to be a cloudy day today, and the two of them sat on the convertible seats on the second floor, as if they had obtained the best viewing position in this concrete forest.There are many high-rise buildings, and the lights are beautiful, changing in front of your eyes like a revolving lantern.

Whenever the speed of the car was slow or stopped to wait for the lights, Ming Ruoxing's gaze would wander among the crowd, and sometimes he didn't even respond to He Tiansi's questions.

This of course caused He Tiansi's dissatisfaction.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

"Shh-"

Ming Ruoxing interrupted him suddenly, and lowered his voice at the same time.

"Front right, at three o'clock, that man in a suit and black-rimmed glasses, do you see that?"

He Tiansi's eyes wandered for a few seconds, and soon he found the person Ming Ruoxing described—suits and leather shoes, neatly combed hair, dressed like a financial elite, but there was nothing else something special.

"I see, what's the matter?"

"That man is also a demihuman. Shhh, don't talk about him loudly. Some demihumans have very keen hearing and will notice."

When Ming Ruoxing said this, He Tiansi suddenly became nervous.Not only did he immediately silence, but he even bent down and watched the man secretly from the gap between the car body and the railing.

This feeling... is like observing a lion on the African savannah.

This unexpected demihuman observation didn't last long, the red light at the intersection turned green, the bus started again, and slowly left the block.

"You are lucky."

Ming Ruoxing then turned to talk to him: "Do you know how many permanent residents there are in S City?"

"Well, how many millions?"

"It's 400 million. How many of them are demihumans?"

"Wait! I know this!"

He Tiansi made a pause gesture, frowned and tried hard to calculate.

"As you mentioned before, awakened demihumans make up 0.25% of the world's total population, so that means..."

"It's 6 people, and it can't even fill a Bird's Nest stadium."

"But I just saw one of these 6 people?!"

He Tiansi finally understood what the so-called "lucky" meant.He laughed, his eyes sparkled, his curly black hair danced wantonly in the wind, for a moment he looked like a carefree child.

Then, against the wind, he said loudly to Ming Ruoxing:

"But I think the luckiest thing is that I met you among 13 billion people!"

The sparrows on the lamppost flew up in fright, and the passers-by on the street cast surprised glances.Ming Ruoxing stared in amazement at this clumsy, dramatic and exaggerated overture. After a few seconds, he finally burst out laughing as if he had given up on something stubborn.

"fool."

-

The enthusiastic red bus circled half a circle around S City, and finally dropped the two of them in front of a remote station.Ming Ruoxing led He Tiansi to continue to shuttle through the complex and maze-like alleys of the old city. After 15 minutes, he came to a desolate forest with few people.

"You're really planning to kill people and steal money." He Tiansi looked at the rubble and rubbish all over the floor, pretending to tremble.

"Why, are you afraid?" Ming Ruoxing deliberately challenged him, "Just now you said that the luckiest thing is to meet me, hum, Mr. Ye is a good dragon."

After the ridicule was over, without waiting for He Tiansi to answer, he plunged into the lush bushes by the side of the road.

"What are you looking for?" He Tiansi stood aside and stretched his neck to look out.

"Stop talking nonsense and don't divide my heart."

"Watch out for snakes!"

"Less crow's mouth!"

The two fought each other for several rounds, and Ming Ruoxing finally crawled out from the bushes.His hands were dirty and he held a coat covered in dirt and dead leaves.

He Tiansi hadn't had time to tease Ming Ruoxing for even daring to take out such a dirty thing, when he saw him shaking the corner of his coat, shaking out a wallet, a stack of banknotes held in a wallet, A mobile phone that looks quite expensive, and a bunch of keys that jingle.

"Let's go."

Ming Ruoxing held all these things in his hands, and pointed towards the west.

"The house I rent is not far from here."

On the way to the rental room, Ming Ruoxing briefly explained the origin of the coat just now: when he came out of the rental room that day, he suddenly met a group of demihuman hunters.In desperation, he hid in the bushes and turned into a cat to escape temporarily.Afterwards, in order to avoid capture, he simply maintained the form of a cat, traveling all the way from S City to Jinyu Village.

This setting is actually not rigorous, and it was soon questioned by He Tiansi.But Ming Ruoxing didn't bother to think about how to deal with him—turning another corner, a small courtyard with white walls and black tiles appeared at the bottom of the alley in front of them.

"We have arrived."

It is different from the dirty and messy rental housing in the outskirts of He Tiansi's imagination. The small courtyard in front of him seems to be the beneficiary of the old city reconstruction movement.Although the appearance still retains the traditional Chinese style, the internal structure has long been replaced by a modern steel structure.Water, electricity and gas are also available, and there is even a patio garden with a tall red pomegranate tree.

What's even more strange is that Ming Ruoxing seems to have contracted the huge small courtyard by himself. He took out the key to open the courtyard door, and walked in. It was quiet inside, and no one else lived there.

Ming Ruoxing rented two rooms facing south.According to him, he has not been back for at least a month.I walked in and saw that there was indeed a lot of dust on the bed and table, but most of the luggage hadn't been opened, and the suitcases were leaning against the corner of the wall.

"No way, I ran into trouble as soon as I moved out of the dormitory."

Ming Ruoxing explained so lightly, but in his heart he scolded the unwary junior who was in charge of arranging the environment.

Fortunately, He Tiansi's mood was high today, and he seemed to have no doubts about this little flaw at all.
