When the magic flower blooms

A small "sacrifice" was made, which at least calmed He Tiansi's emotions.Ming Ruoxing led the humanoid husky into Chuntong Courtyard.

The front and rear of the academy are only two to three hundred square meters in size, surrounded by quaint two-story Chinese-style buildings and a courtyard paved with bluestone slabs.Many tung trees were planted high and low in the courtyard.If it is spring, the courtyard is full of tung flowers, and the lavender flowers are all over the ground. The scenery must be very beautiful.

At this moment, five or six children and their parents were already standing in the courtyard.In October, the school basically opened, and these children should still be in kindergarten—that is to say, there is at least a 20-year age difference between them and He Tiansi.

Standing out from the crowd is no longer enough to describe such a scene.If Naga "worked harder" in his early years, maybe he could have children of the same age as this group of "classmates".

"Ming, can I go back on my word?" He Tiansi retreated again, "At worst, I will give you back the kiss, let's go back."

Ming Ruoxing didn't even look at him, but pushed him hard on the back with his left hand, and pushed him into the lobby room directly in front of him.

The main room looks a bit like an ancient private school: calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, wooden desks are placed on the floor, chairs are replaced by straw futons, and of course everything is child-sized.

Under Ming Ruoxing's coercion, He Tiansi had no choice but to choose a corner in the last row consciously.As soon as he put his things down, he saw the light at the door dim, and a "huge monster" squeezed in.

It was a middle-aged man with a height of about 1.9 meters five, and the horizontal width was estimated to be more than 1.5 meters.This makes him look fleshy and plump, almost like a hill that can move.

"Yo, this is still a foreigner?" He Tiansi wondered.

He didn't admit his mistake—the "meat mountain" in front of him was a blond, clear and distinct foreign species.However, he was wrapped in a set of authentic Chinese-style white Yinshan clothes, which looked like a big pear in a protective bag as a whole.

He Tiansi was just thinking it was funny, when suddenly Ming Ruoxing grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the foreigner.

The foreigner obviously saw them too, and opened his enthusiastic arms from afar.

"Aha, Mr. Ming! I thought that the next time I saw you in Chuntongyuan, it would be you who brought your own children to sign up for classes."

"That really disappoints you."

Ming Ruoxing also shook hands with him with a smile, and then pulled He Tiansi to the front with one hand.

"This is the He Tiansi I mentioned on the phone. I will trouble you in the next few days."

Then he introduced He Tiansi: "This is Mr. Ai, he will teach you some basic knowledge of demihumans. Say hello to Mr. Ai."

He Tiansi was pushed away by him, nodded and saluted, called "Sir" again, and then started to ask questions again.

"Mr. Ai is a foreigner? Can foreigners practice on Yinshan? Can they teach classes?"

"This is--"

Ming Ruoxing was about to dislike him for his meddling, but Mr. Ai accepted it with a smile.

"Student He, there are also sub-humans in foreign countries. Yinshan is a world-famous holy place. Besides me, there are many foreigners who practice here. Of course, the premise is to obtain the permission of the Chinese authorities. "

"Haha... Sir, you can speak Chinese really fluently."

For Mr. Ai's physique, He Tiansi didn't dare to do anything casually, but he thought it might be okay to ask if he had any questions.

"I don't know what kind of demihuman gene Mister is?"

Mr. Ai burst out laughing heartily.

"Every child who comes to Chuntongyuan for the first time will ask me this question. I thought it was because children were innocent and curious, but I didn't expect adults to be the same."

As he spoke, he patted his big belly, "Why don't you take a guess?"

This is trouble.

If he had to guess, He Tiansi would definitely guess the pig or the elephant.But it's fine if you guess right, if you guess wrong, wouldn't you be laughing at the other person's posture in disguise?If Mr. Ai gets angry, then I am afraid that his next stay in Chuntong Courtyard will not be too easy.

Once again out of habit, He Tiansi turned his gaze to Ming Ruoxing.

However, Ming Ruoxing just stood by and watched, even wanting to watch a good show.

He Tiansi had no choice but to bite the bullet and guess: "To be able to bring so many children on the mountain, it must be a very caring race. Sea... sea... sea——"

He suddenly noticed that when he said the word "sea", the expressions of Ming Ruoxing and Mr. Ai had subtly changed—their pupils dilated quietly.

Although it is not clear what the basis is, He Tiansi can be sure that "sea" must be the first word in the correct answer.

Looks like there's something going on.

"Seahorse" was the answer he originally intended to casually say, simply because the male seahorse is responsible for breeding offspring and appears to be "very loving".But if you think about it carefully, such a tiny marine creature must have inferior and fragile genes. How could it develop into such a mountain of meat, and even run to Yinshan to teach children?

No, no.

However, there is a mammal in the ocean that looks like a human and is not small in size.Maybe it's the right answer.

So he hurried to try.

"Sea, N—"

As soon as he made a mouth shape, he saw Ming Ruoxing frowned.

No, not this answer.

"Hai G—"

No, and neither is the sea dog.Ming Ruoxing frowned completely.

"Hai T—"

Nor dolphins.And Ming Ruoxing seemed to be getting impatient.

In desperation, He Tiansi desperately searched for all kinds of biological nouns with sea in his head, and at the same time pretended to observe Mr. Ai.

Strange to say, this time Mr. Ai seems to be a bit different from before.The huge body like a mountain of meat, for a moment, looked like some kind of large beast that lived in cold regions all the year round, with thick limbs and huge fangs growing in its mouth.

"Walrus, it's a walrus!!" He Tiansi quickly reported the answer without continuing to observe his words.

"Amazing, amazing!"

Mr. Ai burst into laughter: "You are the student who guessed right for so many years. Many children don't even know what a walrus is!"

At this point, a few more children entered the classroom.Mr. Ai walked over to say hello, and Ming Ruoxing took the opportunity to push He Tiansi aside.

"Did you come out blind?"

He obviously didn't believe that He Tiansi had the ability to see through other people's details at a glance.

"Not all of them." He Tiansi was about to startle, so he narrated the whole process of how he observed words and emotions.

The speaker had no intention, but Ming Ruoxing's heart beat a drum.

If He Tiansi did not exaggerate, then the techniques he used could already be regarded as the interrogation skills of the police of the Yaan Bureau.

And what does that mean?

Ming Ruoxing was thinking, only to hear a melodious bell ringing outside, it was time to start the class.

He hurriedly dragged He Tiansi to make the last simple exhortation.

"Stay here honestly and wait for me to come back to pick you up."

He Tiansi hurriedly asked: "Then where are you going now?"

"I'm going to visit my teacher in the mountains. If you behave well, I might be able to take you to meet him."

"Then it's a deal!"

In a blink of an eye, the children have entered the school one after another.Ming Ruoxing bid farewell to Mr. Ai and left, and He Tiansi quickly shrank back to his seat in the corner.

The Yinshan practice journey with an uncertain return date has officially begun.

-

After leaving Chuntong Courtyard, Ming Ruoxing came to the parking lot alone.He waited for more than 20 minutes under the simple bus stop sign, and finally waited for an electric shuttle bus.

After getting in the car, he swiped his wrist chip on a small device, and chose the destination to get off——Yanchiyuan.

Ahead, the driver who received the station information watched him silently through the rear-view mirror. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he restarted the vehicle and turned around and drove down the winding mountain road.

The mountain where Chuntongyuan is located is called Chuntong Peak. There is a quiet river valley under the peak, and the shallows are covered with round and magnificent pebbles.About half an hour upstream along the river, the color of the surface slowly changes.

It was a large area of ​​amaryllis flowers, blooming wantonly on the river bank and hillside.Those complicated and delicate blood-red petals are densely intertwined, looking from a distance like a thick scarlet carpet.

Looking at a higher place, the sumac, maple and red maple on the hillside have also changed their colors, showing different shades of red.

What's even more strange is that there are some rocks exposed on the higher part of the mountain, with large dark red textures, just like the blood veins in the muscles.

Yinshan is named after "red", but such a magnificent red color can only be felt near Yanchi Peak in late autumn.

Since Yanchi Peak is not an open area, electric buses stop below the stop sign at the foot of the mountain.

Ming Ruoxing got out of the car, looked around, and quickly found the way forward from his memory.

The last time I came to Yanchi Peak was seven years ago.At that time, he and Naga had just graduated from the Police University and had not been in the Yaan Bureau for a long time.The Bureau carried out job selection and training for newcomers, and brought them to Yanchi Peak.

Unlike the naive Mr. Ai in Qingtongyuan, what awaited them on Yanchi Peak was real danger and extreme test.

Not long after walking along the forest path, a warning sign saying "Tourists are not allowed" appeared in front of Ming Ruoxing together with a two-meter-high barbed wire fence.

High-voltage electricity runs through the barbed wire, and Ming Ruoxing is not foolish enough to challenge its authority.He walked slowly along the barbed wire, and soon found an iron gate, which was also equipped with an identification system.

Ming Ruoxing first stood facing the monitor on the wall, and put his wrist on the recognition system to scan.About five seconds later, a crisp reminder sounded, and the iron door slowly opened.

Behind the iron gate is another two-lane winding mountain road. Not only is it steep, but the fallen leaves on the ground seem to have not been cleaned for a long time.

Ming Ruoxing slowly walked up the road, and it didn't take long before he heard the roar of an engine coming from ahead.

If he dared to drive a car on the mountain road, the visitor might not be kind, so Ming Ruoxing immediately leaned against the cliff to avoid it.

The next moment, I saw an off-road vehicle descending like a tiger, even turning without slowing down, and a drift stopped right in front of him.

It was rare for Ming Ruoxing to remain calm, even though the air current from the vehicle had messed up his long hair.

"Are you Ming Ruoxing?"

The windows of the SUV were rolled down, and the driver was a young man in his early 20s who looked energetic.

"It's me." Ming Ruoxing nodded.

"My name is Lin Gan." The young man stretched out his hand to express his friendliness, "Master is already waiting for you, come quickly!"

Without further ado, Ming Ruoxing immediately got into the passenger seat.As soon as he fastened his seat belt, Lin Gan reversed the car quickly, turned his head on the narrow mountain road in an instant, and then kicked the accelerator to start accelerating.

Thanks to the help of Lin Gan, it only took less than 10 minutes from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.There is also a parking lot on the top of the mountain, but there are no small, exquisite and pollution-free sightseeing electric cars, but several buses and armed patrol cars parked there.

After stopping the car, Lin Gan yelled loudly to signal Ming Ruoxing to follow him.The two of them crossed the path behind the parking lot and approached a confidential area surrounded by high walls and guarded by sentries.

[Security area, Special Operations Training Base of the Asian Security Bureau]

Ming Ruoxing saw the small metal nameplate hanging on the wall again.
