Lu Chenfei asked suspiciously, "Isn't it normal to have seeds in the forest?"

Indeed, there are plants everywhere in the forest, and it is normal to have all kinds of seeds, but...

Xia Jing thought about it, changed another piece of land, and dug down, only to find the same seed.

The open space they were in was about a circle with a diameter of more than ten meters. In this open space, they worked together for more than half an hour and dug out a total of twenty red seeds.

Everyone gathered, Chenghua asked: "Could this be the seed of a common plant in the forest?"

Lu Xiang and the others also helped dig for a while, but looking left and right, this kind of seed is a little bit more, but there is nothing special about it.

Lu Xiang was so tired that he sat down on the ground again, and complained: "So you all see what, tell me!"

After Song Yang inspected these seeds, his gaze and Xia Jing's eyes fell on their path.

A group of people followed their gazes, understood what they meant, and gradually became serious.

You Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you think that there are such seeds in the soil of the entire forest?"

"Let's try to dig some more," Song Yang looked at the sky and said, "Walk back while digging, and it's just evening when we arrive at the hotel."

By the way, you can also test the people in the hotel, which plant these seeds belong to.

This job is very trivial and tiring, but fortunately, except for Lu Xiang and Zhou Yaqing, the other players in this group are willing to work hard.

Until about five o'clock in the evening, they almost dug the two-kilometer road, and the final result was similar to Xia Jing and Song Yang's guess.

——They found hundreds of red seeds one after another.

They didn't bring all these seeds back, they only roughly calculated the quantity and observed the distribution density.

At this point, no one dares to say that these seeds are very common, because the number of these seeds is obviously hundreds of times more than other seeds.

But is there really such a plant in the forest, can it be so large that its seeds are everywhere?

A group of people carefully looked around.

The entire forest is lush and green, and it is still green if you look around.

Lu Chenfei was stunned: "Except for the completely different leaves, the other plants look similar to me!"

Xia Jing was thoughtful: "If such a large number of seeds are attached to the plant body, we should not fail to notice it. If they are wrapped in the pulp, then there should be many fruits."

However, the fact is that they did not see any plants that were suspected of being the seeds along the way.

The hotel was right in front of us, Lu Chenfei's props were scrapped within the time limit, Song Yang led the way into the hotel, and the others followed.

The manager of the mustache hotel has been serving in the lobby. When he saw them, he immediately showed his iconic smiling face, but in the next second, his face suddenly changed, and he stepped forward to block their way. What did you bring in?"

—How does this guy know? !

Xia Jing looked at this npc inquisitively, Song Yang remained calm and composed, he took out the seeds he was carrying and asked: "We found these things in the forest, do you know what kind of plant seeds these are? ?"

"Sorry, we don't know, but everything in the forest is strictly forbidden to be brought into the hotel. One is because the smell of earth is too strong, and the other is because it will attract wild animals." Mustache spread his hands and smiled Said, "Please give these seeds to me to deal with, sir?"

Everyone quickly sniffed themselves, and they really smelled a bit of earthy smell, but they themselves were already tired of smelling surrounded by such a smell.

But Song Yang didn't move, he just stared at the mustache.

Mustache's complexion did not change, he was still smiling, and repeated word by word: "Please leave these seeds to me, sir."

Song Yang raised his chin and said casually, "If we don't pay, we won't be able to enter the hotel today?"

Mustache froze.

The corners of his mouth immediately hung down, and the slender eyes were straightened into a straight line, and the facial muscles of the whole face seemed to hang down.

He stared straight at Song Yang and said, "Sir, everything we do in our hotel is to protect the safety of our guests, please don't make such jokes! We have already booked the rooms and paid for them online, how can we not stay here?"

The mustache's completely different face made Cheng Hua's hair stand on end, it was weird no matter how you looked at it.

Seeing that Song Yang was not moved at all, the corners of Mustache's mouth twitched nervously. Soon, as if he had adjusted his mood, he put on a smiling face and said, "If you really want these seeds, how about How about this, let's keep it for you for a while and return it to you at night, okay? Please don't embarrass us anymore, we also have to consider the safety of other hotel guests!"

Song Yang looked at him for a while before passing the seeds over.

Cheng Hua shouted softly behind him: "Song Yang!"

Song Yang tilted his head to indicate that he was fine.

After the mustache took the seed, he turned around and left. Without waiting for the others to react, Xia Jing followed. After following two steps, he stopped at the same spot and watched the figure of the mustache disappear around the corner.

If I remember correctly, there is the direction of the kitchen.

Xia Jing raised his eyebrows.

"What's going on now? I'm really confused," Zhou Yaqing said in a low voice, "Are we really going to live here tonight?"

Lu Chenfei said: "It's still the same sentence, if you want to find out the clues, you have to stay here, otherwise we won't even be a guest, so how can we find clues to the hotel if we can't even go upstairs."

Zhou Yaqing bit her lip.

Song Yang let out a breath and said, "There's not much we can do now. After dinner later, let's search the hotel as soon as possible while there are fewer people."

Xia Jing was still staring in the direction of the kitchen: "I'll check the first floor."

Song Yang knew that Xia Jing would say that, he said: "Then Xia Jing and I will search the first floor, and the rest of you can help to search the upstairs again, is that okay?"

Others have no objection, so let's go to eat now...

At this time, Zhou Yaqing said wearily: "I don't have the appetite to eat, do you still dare to eat the food made in this hotel?"

Cheng Hua and the others were taken aback for a moment, then shook their heads embarrassingly.

How delicious they ate before, how scared they are now.

Gu Xing stood at the outermost edge. Hearing this, she dared not refute, but pursed her lips and rubbed her stomach.

Her stomach was already growling.

Lu Xiang is not as introverted as she is, so he can say whatever he thinks, and he shouted, "But aren't you hungry? We won't be releasing a dungeon anytime soon, so we must have something to eat!"

Cheng Hua and the others said again, "...This is indeed a problem."

Lu Xiang pinched his throat and said, "Xiao Yangyang just said not to eat vegetables, so we can only pick meat to eat! Otherwise, if we don't get killed by monsters, we will starve to death!"

Cheng Hua and the others: "...Indeed, indeed."

Song Yang: "..."

Xia Jing turned his head and looked at him.

Song Yang said vigilantly: "You are not allowed to say."

Xia Jing slowly read those three words from between his lips and teeth: "Xiao Yangyang."

The young man curled his lips and looked at him with a half-smile.

Lu Chenfei at the side gloated, with a few words written on his face: Finally it's your turn!

Song Yang's eyelids jumped up. After living for 23 years, he has never been called that by anyone. He is in a strange mood right now.

Zhou Yaqing didn't like Lu Box in the first place, so she said: "Then you go eat, anyway, I won't eat, I'll go upstairs to rest."

You Ye smiled and said: "Sister Zhou, although it's not night yet, we'd better not act alone. What Lu Xiang said actually makes sense, how about this, I'll go to the hotel supermarket to buy some snacks, and we'll go up together again, Eat as much as you want."

Zhou Yaqing could still listen to You Ye's words, so he nodded reluctantly.

Chenghua and the others said: "Then let's do the same, buy some chocolate and cook in Kanto, as long as there are no vegetables, isn't it all right?"

Lu Box pouted.

He rubbed his stomach and complained softly, "I'm starving to death."

After making up his mind, a group of people flocked to the hotel and supermarket. Xia Jing took a step first and shouted jokingly, "Doctor Yang, let's go."

Song Yang: "..."

My God, I look up to the doctor...

Song Yang felt like he needed to inhale oxygen.

He followed, holding back, not holding back, walked up to Xia Jing, glanced at him, and said, "Xiaojing..."

Xia Jing glanced at him.

Song Yang: I can't say it.jpg

Xia Jing looked at the man's unwilling face, and his smile deepened.

And his appearance made Song Yang grind his teeth.

Song Yang took a deep breath, changed his title to something more eloquent, and said, "Xiao Xiaxia."

Xia Jing blinked, and accepted the address well: "Doctor Song, how old are you this year?"

Song Yang put on a half-smile: "It's been ten years since I graduated from primary school, thank you."

Xia Jing raised his lips: "Really, that's good."

Xia Jing's sighing tone made Song Yang's eyelids twitch even more.

Song Yang felt like he had raised a wicked kitten. The kitten would scratch him from time to time and shake his ears happily, but he was a little helpless and unwilling, but he had no other way to punish this guy.

He had no choice but to say viciously: "I think you are younger than me. If I am a primary school student, then you haven't graduated from kindergarten yet?"

Xia Jing laughed vigorously: "Then how can you be sure that I must be younger than you? Don't forget, in the dungeon of "Death Ringing", the information given by the deputy monster has reminded me that I am also older than 20 years old. "

"It's an intuition. Even if you're 20 years old, you should be younger than me." Song Yang looked at Xia Jing's body, "My intuition has always been very accurate."

Thinking about it this way, there's nothing wrong with being called "Xiao Xiaxia", it's just that it's a little gross.

Xia Jing walked forward and said with a low smile: "Doctor Song, don't say something too early. I am not a human being, and my physical appearance will not grow with age."

Song Yang didn't seem to hear it, he thought for a while, then murmured to himself: "Xia Xia?"

Xia Jing paused.

He raised his head and looked at the man beside him.

Song Yang stared at him with lowered eyes, and said, "If you really have an identity in the world, would that be what your mother called you?"

Xia Jing stared straight at him without speaking.

There was an inexplicable silence between the two of them.

Song Yang finally noticed a subtlety after knowing it.

He moved his eyes away, cleared his throat and was about to speak, but Xia Jing said softly: "Call me again?"

Song Yang was taken aback for a moment, then looked back quickly.

Xia Jing was a little dazed: "I seem to have remembered just now that someone once called me that."

Song Yang was a little surprised.

……

Of course, the sudden appearance of this kind of memory is like a flash of inspiration, which can be captured but not traced.

No matter how many times Song Yang called out later, Xia Jing didn't recall any more things, so he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

But he specifically allowed Song Yang to call him that all the time in the future, so as to stimulate him to recover his memory at any time.

Song Yang: "..."

Really worthy of being a cat owner.

A group of people went upstairs after shopping and ate something casually, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

They began to split up.

Xia Jing and Song Yang went straight downstairs.

It was eight o'clock in the evening, and there were very few people in the hotel lobby. The front desk was processing work behind the computer, and the mustache manager was nowhere to be seen.

The two slipped into the kitchen. Coincidentally, there was no one in the kitchen.

With little trouble, they found the seeds contained in glass jars by a pool.

The glass jar was filled with a transparent liquid, and a dozen red seeds were soaked in the liquid. There was a label on the glass jar that read 17:34.

Xia Jing recognized it at a glance: "This is the time for him to take the seeds away."

Xia Jing opened the bottle, leaned in and sniffed it, then stretched out his finger——

Song Yang pulled his fingers away.

Xia Jing looked up at him silently.

Song Yang said expressionlessly: "I know you won't die, but I want to correct your reckless habit."

Xia Jing said with a half smile but not a smile: "Okay, up to Dad."

Song Yang: "..."

He found a cutting board, poured some of the liquid in the glass jar onto the cutting board, waited for two seconds, but the cutting board remained unchanged, at least proving that the liquid was not a corrosive liquid, and the seeds immersed in the liquid had no special functions.

There is a row of fish tanks next to the pool with live fish in them.

Although I was a little sorry for the fish, Song Yang still grabbed a fish, and dripped two more drops of the liquid in the glass jar onto the fish's mouth, and the little fish struggled vigorously in his hands.

Song Yang put the fish back into the tank.

At this moment, he was very confident, and then he stretched out his finger to dip it, and brought it to his lips to lick it.

"This is water," he affirmed.

Xia Jing commented: "If your parents saw your dead body one day, would your friends tell them that you were correcting other people's reckless habits?"

Song Yang choked, twitching the corners of his mouth and said, "What good does it do you to be mad at me?"

Xia Jing raised his eyebrows.

At least he's happy.

Xia Jing scanned the entire kitchen, and said slowly: "The hotel does not allow guests to bring things from the forest back to the hotel, but they do not prohibit guests from entering the forest during the day."

Because the marketing selling point of this hotel is the forest hotel, there is a detailed introduction about this forest on a board in the hotel lobby.

But the hotel also reminds guests not to go too deep into the forest to prevent getting lost and accidents.

"If the customer insists, they will take the seeds away and keep them for a period of time, soak the seeds in water, and write down the time when they took them away."

"Time," Xia Jing said softly, "the time they keep the seeds is very important."

And what does all this mean?

In addition, the kitchen, the place where meals are produced, is also very important.

The hotel chef would not leave work so early. The reason why he is not in the kitchen now is probably because he just had no work to do and went out to take a break.

If they were to come back suddenly, the two of them could find a reason to deal with it, so they didn't panic at all.

Song Yang opened the freezer in the kitchen and continued to search for clues. Xia Jing searched and found a door in the corner of the kitchen, hidden by a row of cabinets.

He opened the door, looking down—

What appeared in front of him was a row of descending stairs, about a dozen steps.

In the narrow corridor, there is only a small lamp maintaining a dim light, and at the end of the steps is the second closed door.

——There is even a secret room in the kitchen.

Xia Jing narrowed his eyes and walked to the next step.

He stepped down the last step, stood in front of the second door, turned his head, and looked to the right.

The right side is not a wall like the left side, but another passage extending out.

More than ten meters away, there is a third door, which is also tightly closed at this time.

Things became more and more interesting, and interest appeared in Xia Jing's eyes.

He turned his head back and lowered his head again.

At this moment, the crack of the second door

Just as Xia Jing took a step closer, with a swoosh, the leaf quickly shrank into the door and disappeared.

Xia Jing paused, raised his eyes, calmly held the doorknob, turned it slightly, halfway through, and felt stuck.

This door cannot be opened.

He gently turned the doorknob back to its normal position, and let it go silently.

Then, he squatted down and slowly lowered his body.

It was dark inside the closed door.

Xia Jing's calm gaze was in the darkness, and met an eye that was staring straight at him.
