When the magic flower blooms

After crossing the high wall, they officially entered the training base of the Yaan Bureau.

Unlike other military training bases, there are no straight and spacious roads, and there are no playgrounds and shooting ranges necessary for training.

Looking around, there are towering ancient trees everywhere, and there are only a few multi-storey brick buildings and a few table tennis tables beside the uneven bluestone road. It seems that it should be the living quarters of trained police officers.

Ming Ruoxing followed Lin Gan through the living area and continued to walk north.After passing through a green iron gate on a high concrete wall, they entered the core area of ​​the base.

This is actually a large-scale ancient building complex, with red lacquer pillars, green brick floors, and glazed tile roofs, it looks extraordinary.It's just that it seems a bit out of place to appear in a militarized base.

Lin Gan led Ming Ruoxing through a side door, passed through several desolate courtyards that didn't look like they were inhabited, and headed north.

For some reason, the further north one goes, the damper and colder the air becomes.From the third entrance to the courtyard, there was even mist, misty, mysterious and charming.

The two continued to move forward in the mist without making a sound, and when the vision was almost gray, Ming Ruoxing finally heard a heavy knock on the door.

"We have arrived."

With Lin Gan's reminder, a dry warm wind blows head-on.Ming Ruoxing closed his eyes subconsciously, and when he opened them again, the fog had dissipated a lot, gradually showing the real scene.

At this moment, they were already standing at the gate of an elegant and quiet courtyard.There was no one in the yard, but a lot of plants were planted high and low, and there seemed to be rockeries and ponds.

However, Ming Ruoxing didn't pay attention to these—there was another thing that was too different, which almost took all his attention in an instant.

It was an old tree standing in the middle of the courtyard.

This is a very healthy tree.The tree is so thick that it takes three or four adult men to surround it.From the ground to the crown of the tree, there are six or seven floors in height.But the green and black branches are like willows, hanging down from a high place, swaying gently with the breeze.

Autumn is in full swing right now, but this tree is just in its flowering season.Thousands of branches up and down, all full of white and flawless double flowers.From a distance, it looks like a tree is covered with frost and snow, so beautiful that it seems to be able to illuminate everything around it.

Such a strange beauty is not something that can be encountered casually.Ming Ruoxing couldn't help but stop and admire for a while, and was about to move, when he suddenly found a few stone benches and tables on the other side under the tree, and sitting beside the table was a kind old man in white with silver hair.

"Mr. Lu!"

Recognizing that the other party was the person he was looking for, Ming Ruoxing hurried up to greet him in two or three steps.

The old Mr. Lu was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and looked at him with a half-smile: "Boy, it's been seven years since you walked out of this door, why do you think of the old man at this time?"

Ming Ruoxing was still respectful on the surface, but there was a lump in his heart.

This old Mr. Lu and Ming Ruoxing's father had never been friends.Seven years ago, Ming Ruoxing, who had just been admitted to the Yaan Bureau, came to Yanchifeng base with a group of newcomers for training and participated in the selection of special forces, but they were finally defeated due to trivial matters.Ming Ruoxing once wanted to intercede with Mr. Lu in the name of his father, but was rejected and was educated instead.

I don't know whether it's regret or stubbornness, but after that, although Ming Ruoxing would call to greet him during the festivals, he always walked around Yanchi Peak when he came to Yinshan several times.

If you say these words as they are, you will appear to be too childish.So Ming Ruoxing only said that he had been unsatisfactory all these years, and he was really ashamed to come up to the mountain.

But old Mr. Lu wanted to expose him.

"You boy. You are also not selected. Naga used to find time to come to the mountain every year. Back then you said that he was a 'cold-blooded animal, ruthless and ungrateful'. I think your father was right. Are you Spoiled and stupid!"

Ming Ruoxing was also aggrieved when he was scolded for no reason before he opened his mouth for a serious matter.He changed his mind again and decided to go all out.

"How can it be the same? I was eliminated, and Naga gave up on his own initiative. He passed the test, of course he has the face to come back. What am I? I'm just a loser."

"Hey, your kid still has the same cat temper."

Mr. Lu waved his hand to show that he didn't have the same knowledge as him, "Quickly tell me, what's the important thing to come to you today!"

Ming Ruoxing immediately narrated the incident in which Naga in Ziyun Villa suddenly regained his memory a while ago and asked him to come to Yinshan to rescue soldiers by name.

After listening, Mr. Lu thought deeply: "So, Naga's memory is still in his own head? What are your plans for the future?"

"Not really." Ming Ruoxing said honestly, "Isn't it according to what he said, did you go up the mountain to find you? I thought you would—"

"He told you to go up the mountain to find me, but it doesn't mean that I will definitely have a solution."

Old Mr. Lu shook his head and asked, "What about the kid?"

"Because I need to unify with you first, depending on your schedule. So I temporarily entrusted him to Mr. Ai. Let him receive a systematic education in common sense first. When you are ready, I will send him to Mr. Ai." He brought it here."

"You've thought it through this time."

Mr. Lu nodded his head in praise, but he sighed again.

"Of course I'm very happy that you two trust me so much, old man. It's just that I don't want to talk to you, kid—this Yanchi Peak looks mysterious and mysterious, but it's not a place suitable for healing wounds." Place. Although I am honored as Mr. Lu by you, the old man is more than just a peak guard and a job of attracting people. If you want to wake up the memory, I am afraid that the old man will not be of much help."

Of course, Ming Ruoxing would not retreat just because of this few words.

"But sir, since Naga's memory has been hidden deep in his mind, is there a way to stimulate the brain and make the memory resurface?"

"Of course there is a way, and it is definitely not difficult to do."

Mr. Lu did not deny it, but attached a proviso,

"Among the 99 trials on Yanchi Peak, at least five of them can affect memory. If you throw He Tiansi into it, you are guaranteed to be able to dig out the memory of when he was wearing crotch pants. But you also know that all The levels are all destructive. If you want to retrieve a memory, you have to destroy ten, a hundred, or even more memories. The final result can only be that Naga's head is smashed into a pot of tofu brains—that is It's really hopeless."

"..."

It's not that Ming Ruoxing has never assumed such a possibility, but hearing it from someone else's mouth is a different feeling.

He suddenly remembered a toy he had when he was a child: Will-scattered thin colorful plastic sticks on the table.Players must collect sticks one by one without disturbing other plastic sticks.

Right now, the task of recovering Naga's memory is the same as provoking those tiny game sticks. It is best to avoid impulsiveness, otherwise you will lose everything if you are careless.

"He is in a hurry, and you are also in a hurry, but neither of you can be in a hurry. You have to explore slowly and step by step." This is Mr. Lu's conclusion.

No, I'm afraid that's not the case.

Ming Ruoxing vaguely understood Naga's real intention of letting him go into the mountains to find someone.

At that time, in the tense atmosphere of Ziyun Villa, Naga could see his anxiety, but he didn't have much time to explain and comfort him.That's why I deliberately left a sentence and gave a goal, went to Yanchi Peak to find Mr. Lu, and let Mr. Lu speak out what should be said on his behalf.

"Boy, in fact, I think your way of leaving He Tiansi in Chuntong Courtyard is quite correct. But since you are thinking about me, the old man, then I can't let you make this trip in vain. Why don't you just Let He Tiansi walk around the various mountain peaks to see how great his potential is now. Of course, I will take care of the joints along the way."

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel around Yinshan.Ming Ruoxing thanked him repeatedly, but at the same time he did not forget to promise that in the future, he would often take He Tiansi to the mountain to have a look and talk to the old man.

But since he rarely came here, Mr. Lu didn't let him go so easily.Coincidentally, in the afternoon, a group of cadets from the police academy wanted to go up the mountain to "open their eyes", and the old man forcibly recruited Ming Ruoxing to help him.

-

Perhaps in retaliation for avoiding him for the past seven years, Old Man Lu ruthlessly ordered Ming Ruoxing in the next few hours.Let him lead a group of hairy boys from the police academy to run up and down the mountain to train their physical fitness and familiarize themselves with the terrain.

After finally having dinner at dusk, the students organized a table tennis match in the living area.Ming Ruoxing was too lazy to join in the fun, so after taking a shower, he hid in the room where he was staying, and took out his mobile phone from his hiking bag.

If you don't look at it, you can see that the screen is densely packed with calls, text messages and messages from He Tiansi.

Ming Ruoxing called back the number, and the call was picked up instantly.

"Ming Ruoxing!"

As soon as He Tiansi came up, he called out his full name sonorously: "If you don't answer my call again, I will think that I was released by you!"

For some reason, upon hearing He Tiansi's voice, Ming Ruoxing felt better, and even being tired was no longer important.

He laughed and said, "Release, are you a fish? Or a bird? Like a child."

Not to be outdone on the phone: "That's really embarrassing, I don't know who insisted on throwing me and the kindergarten children together."

Ming Ruoxing smiled silently again, turned over and found a comfortable position: "Stop making trouble, to be honest, how are you doing?"

"It's not that bad, except that I'm seven preschool kids, and all of them are spoiled. I really want to punch them all flat."

"I can't help it. The good kids are in kindergarten at this time, so just bear with it. What lessons did you have all day long?"

"Don't mention it, it's really annoying to mention it."

Next, He Tiansi began to talk about what happened to him all day long.

Chuntong Academy taught the most basic general education courses.Including the similarities and differences between demihumans and ordinary humans, demihuman population numbers and some unique physiological structures.Since the students are all children, Mr. Ai's lectures are relaxed and lively, which can also be said to be entertaining and educational.

For He Tiansi, the method may be a little childish, but it is somehow interesting.

What really gave him a headache was his seven dwarves, no, seven little kids.

Not long after the class started, Mr. Ai asked everyone to introduce themselves.Although these children can't even speak well, they are eloquent in reporting themselves.From name, age to constellation, place of origin, of course the most important thing is the genetic composition.Some are little brown bears, some are little foxes, and even worse are monkeys and roe deer.

Unexpectedly, it was the turn of He Tiansi, an overage elder brother. He stood up and stood up, but he opened his mouth and said that he was a "pheasant". The class burst into laughter.

Since then, He Tiansi has become the lowest link in the food chain of the small ecological circle of Chuntongyuan.Those little kids who have to fall from time to time even when walking, dare to laugh at He Tiansi in front of him just because of the difference in genetic level.

Of course, there are other rejuvenating practices such as "you can only eat with a small wooden spoon", "curl up in a small bed less than 1.6 meters in the morning", etc., all of which are testing He Tiansi's skin thickness and nerve flexibility Spend.

It was not easy until the end of school in the evening, and the other children went to sit in a row for dinner.Only then did he rush to the yard to call and send messages to Ming Ruoxing.

"Anyway, hurry up and tell Mr. Ai for me, but you can transfer me out. Later, I will do whatever you want me to do, Young Master Ming, Mr. Ming, please take pity on me!"

Here He Tiansi is eager to ask, but Ming Ruoxing over there is triumphantly writhing on the bed.

"Then you can ask me to be nicer."

"It's done."

He Tiansi agreed very readily, then took a deep breath, and said abruptly——

"Baby, listen to me."
