Professor Zhang Xiao and his assistant were very taciturn. Before Huang Xu could say a few words to them, they went back to their rooms to rest. Ji Xingling came out of the dormitory, glanced at the cynical Lu Xun's face that was left hanging in the kitchen, and said, "Hey, you won't blame me for this too, will you?"
Huang Xu didn't say a word, just stood by the stove to boil water.
"I find you quite interesting." Ji Xingling appropriately applied Ms. Hu Meimei's logic, "If I want to enter Chenda University, can't I spend money on it? It's worth spending time and effort here to suffer for a self-inflicted crime ?”
Huang Xu glanced at him: "How would I know what you're thinking?"
"You really don't need to know what I think, but if you really want to go back, my driver is at the foot of the mountain." Ji Xingling didn't bother to talk to him, and studied the microwave oven to heat breakfast by himself.
Huang Xu asked again: "Then why did you come to this project?"
"I'm trying to work hard on my own, but who knows it's a pitfall." Ji Xingling walked out lazily holding the milk straw, holding the bun in one hand, "So you should either be normal, or go back to school immediately, or at least Don't let me see the poker face."
Under the painstaking education of Teacher Xiao Lin, now you Xing Ge are very civilized and polite, you are simply a good boy of love and peace.
Hey, how should I put it, I haven't been a school bully for many years.
Huang Xu didn't say anything, and went back to the dormitory with hot water. After a while, Xing Luo and Yang Xiaobai also got up one after another, ran to knock on Ji Xingling's door, and asked him if he wanted to eat self-heating hot pot at noon, and they could take it with them when they left.
"Professor Zhang came back this morning." Ji Xingling said, "I won't go into the mountain, I want to ask him about this scientific research later, or you will stay too?"
The two juniors breathed a sigh of relief visibly, because none of them actually wanted to sell their coolies. Xing Luo tentatively asked, "What about Brother Huang Xu?"
"I don't know." Ji Xingling threw a carton of milk to each of them, "I'm going to read a book, you can do whatever you want."
After discussing with Xing Luo, Yang Xiaobai still told Huang Xu, so the four of them stayed in the dormitory that day. Zhang Xiao and his assistant slept the whole day, and didn't get up until five o'clock in the afternoon.
Ji Xingling rested his legs on the dormitory table and was on the phone.
Lin Jing asked while cooking, "So you didn't go into the mountains today?"
"No, who wants to be a mountain worker when they have nothing to do." Ji Xingling threw the English book aside, "I asked Xing Luo and the others to stay. I found that these two people have a lot of problems and their thirst for knowledge is extremely strong, so I can help As usual, let's see what Professor Zhang and the others met in the mountains."
Lin Jing pointed to the order window: "Here, sweet and sour pork ribs, and Jiaoliu meatballs, thank you, auntie."
Ji Xingling made an opinion: "Hey you, why do you only eat meat and get some vegetables!"
Lin Jing was reluctant: "Oh, I want another scrambled egg with tomatoes."
"Green!"
"Green is unlucky, you said it yourself!"
You star brother is very speechless, because it is really too green.
Lin Jing sat down with the dinner plate: "But you are so smart."
Ji Xingling felt that he was being ruthlessly ridiculed again: "Because I asked you to order an extra tomato scrambled egg, what's so clever about it?"
"Because you know that you are very smart to ask Xing Luo and Yang Xiaobai to help you with the routine."
"..."
"But you just said something about scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and you don't seem so smart again."
"No, shut up, I didn't say, I'm super smart!"
The super-smart Ji Xingling glanced out the window: "Then I'll go talk about it now, you continue to eat."
Lin Jing made a request: "Real-time broadcast."
"Kiss one and I'll transfer it to you."
"I owe you." Teacher Xiao Lin is very talkative in this regard, "I will pay you back ten at that time."
Zhang Xiao has always called his assistant Xiao Ou. Xiao Ou's name is Ou Yafei, and he spans three continents. It sounds quite imposing. When Ji Xingling came out of the dormitory, several people were ready to eat. Huang Xu was helping to set the dishes. I don't know if he listened to Ji Xingling's words in the morning, but at least his expression was much more normal. It seemed that he was not planning to go back to school halfway.
Yang Xiaobai waved enthusiastically: "Senior, come quickly."
Ou Yafei took a look over and probably heard of the reputation of the young master. Ji Xingling greeted: "Mr. Zhang, brother Ou."
"Sit." Zhang Xiao asked while eating steamed buns, "How do you feel about being in the mountains?"
Ji Xingling replied, it's okay, but I can't quite understand what Lao Zheng and the others are doing.
"Follow me more, experience is accumulated slowly." Zhang Xiao said, "At your age, broadening your horizons is the most important thing, and it's not yet time to concentrate on studying."
Ji Xingling took advantage of the situation and asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you and brother Ou also studying landslides in the mountains?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiao nodded, "After a while, the mountainous area will enter the rainy season. The scientific research team has to seize the last month and complete all the data. If you can't keep up with Lao Zheng's progress, why don't you stay in the dormitory and read the data carefully. Lay the theoretical foundation first.”
This sentence sounds harmless, but everyone in the room knew it well. With less than a week left, what kind of solid theoretical foundation can be laid is nothing more than "You guys stay in An'an for enough days and then go back to school quickly. Don't give it to us Trouble" is just a euphemism.
Huang Xu has been loved by teachers of all subjects since he was a child, and it may be the first time that he is treated as a burden. He can't bear this kind of treatment, so he offered to ask: "Mr. Zhang, can I follow you into the mountains tomorrow?"
Ou Yafei frowned upon hearing this: "Follow us?"
Xing Luo and Yang Xiaobai also wanted to go to the mountain with the university professor, and they thought it must be more interesting than Lao Zheng and the others. Now that the senior had spoken, they got together and applied, saying that they wanted to go together.
Zhang Xiao shook his head: "No, the road we're taking is too dangerous."
"It's okay." Ji Xingling answered, "My dad often takes me to participate in various extreme sports, and he also encourages me to follow the teacher on field trips."
Since the eldest and young master moved out of his own father, Zhang Xiao couldn't refuse directly when facing the benefactor's benefactor, so he could only nod, "Then get ready, we will leave at eleven o'clock tomorrow."
We only set off at 11 o'clock, which is basically a spring outing, and the perfunctory feelings are beyond words. And the so-called field survey on the second day was just as perfunctory as the departure time. Basically, Zhang Xiao and his assistant took four high school students on a tour of mountains and rivers. main cross.
This time, not to mention Huang Xu, even Xing Luo and Yang Xiaobai have figured it out. No matter whether it is Professor Zhang or Captain Lao Zheng, they don't need high school interns at all. This project is almost full of water. So after returning to the dormitory, I took the initiative to propose that I would not go out for the next few days, but would stay in the room and read books to strengthen my theoretical foundation.
Ou Yafei looked at Ji Xingling again.
The young master had a good attitude: "I'll stay and read too."
"Okay, then you study hard." Ou Yafei patted Huang Xu on the shoulder, "If there is anything you don't understand, write it down and ask the teacher at school."
Even the question-and-answer session was pushed out, which shows how much they don't want to talk to this group of high school students.
…
In the dead of night, Lin Jing came out of the bathroom, brushed his hair, and called his boyfriend in the mountains: "How is it, did Huang Xu sneer at you again today?"
"Who can take care of him." Ji Xingling flipped through the information on the iPad, "I plan to go out with Professor Zhang tomorrow to have a look."
"Why don't you tell Uncle Ji and ask him to investigate?"
"Shouldn't I prove it first, what if it's not a monster?"
Adolescent boys are a little obsessed with exploration and criminal investigation, not to mention that you, brother Xing, are still a fierce unicorn, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and is invincible with just a "boom".
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiao left the station at five o'clock. Ou Yafei wanted to sort out the information, so he didn't go with him.
The unicorn cubs are wrapped in thunder and lightning, marching majestically in the sky.
The mountains in the southwest were continuous and steep. Zhang Xiao climbed up and down with a mountaineering bag on his back, as proficient as walking on flat ground. The road he traveled was rugged and inaccessible, and at the last part it had become almost an impenetrable wild forest. The tall luxuriant canopy blocked his view, so Ji Xingling had to change back into a human form, and quietly hid behind a big tree.
Thrilling, it's cool, but it's a pity Mr. Kobayashi can't see it.
…
In Quanshui Village, the rest of the high school students had just woken up. Huang Xu took out four eggs from the kitchen basket. Xing Luo said while making noodles, "Brother Xing went down the mountain today, so he won't eat with us."
Huang Xu asked: "Go back to Jincheng?"
"No, I said on WeChat that I'm going to find his driver and get something."
Huang Xu put the eggs back one by one and didn't ask any more questions. The weather was rare today. After breakfast, Xing Luo and Yang Xiaobai went for a walk in the nearby mountains together. Huang Xu took a book and sat in front of Ji Xingling's window to read - the light here is the best.
The sun shines through the gaps in the curtains, and it just hits a glass bottle, which is filled with young leaves of dracaena, green and vibrant. That's right, your Brother Xing is such an affectionate and handsome guy, so romantic that he always takes Mr. Xiaolin with him wherever he goes, and puts it next to the pillow for a kiss before going to bed—today, he was in a hurry to go out, so he forgot to put it away.
The newly germinated dracaena saplings, even the fallen leaves, still contain a little bit of aura. At this time, the white mist is being evaporated by the sunlight in the mountains, and then slowly drifts into the air through the gap of the sealed bottle.
The humans didn't notice it, but the monster nimbly twitched its nose.
The wooden door creaked, and Ou Yafei came out from inside.
"Good morning, Brother Ou." Huang Xu raised his head and greeted him.
Ou Yafei stared at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Where's your classmate?"
"They're all out."
"Follow me into the mountains." Ou Yafei put on the jacket, "Don't bring your luggage, give me your phone, and hold it for you."
Huang Xu was taken aback: "Go into the mountain now?"
Ou Yafei urged: "Hurry up, it happens that the rest of the people are not here."
"… okay."
Huang Xu didn't doubt him, and followed Ou Yafei all the way into the mountain.
Good students often have the benefit of being taught by the teacher, so this time he took it for granted that it must be Professor Zhang who wants to teach him alone.
…
There was a wind in the mountains.
Roaring through the treetops and various complex landforms, he let out a sobbing roar, and the fallen leaves flew up and down in layers, just enough to cover Ji Xingling's footsteps.
Deep in the wild woods there is a burrow.
Before Zhang Xiao went in, he took out a set of protective clothing from his hiking bag and covered himself completely. He stayed in the burrow for nearly three hours, and when he came out again, a lot of purple scale powder was obviously stained on the white protective clothing.
Ji Xingling, who had been guarding outside, frowned slightly.
Zhang Xiao put the protective clothing into a disposable sealed bag, checked it carefully, and left the wild forest in a hurry after making sure that there was nothing unusual on him.
The surroundings became quiet again, and a cloud of black thunder fog slipped into the cave quietly.
There was a strong musty smell in the air, damp, sticky, dark and silent.
The Qilin cub walked carefully along the cave wall. He was worried that there would be other people here, such as Zhang Xiao's accomplices, or other monster poachers.
Skylight kept coming in from the cracks in all directions, and the silted water on the ground was mixed with scale powder, giving off a pitch-black oily sheen, much like the surface of a sea polluted by chemicals. The water kept ticking, ticking, and then walking in, there was the faint sound of the iron chain being dragged.
It was a bound snake, and judging from its size, it was already quite old.
Her mouth was tied up with iron chains, and she couldn't make any sound. Her long hair was soaked in mud and moss, her bluish-black body was limp, and her limbs were also tied together by thin ropes. Her cloudy eyeballs would occasionally turn, is the only remaining sign of life.
The unicorn cubs were sticking against the wall, almost creepy, and what made him even more astonished was that under the body of the snake, there were actually a group of very small cubs, ignorant and unaware of the darkness and danger of the adult world. He fell asleep carefree in his arms.
The snake gently rubbed against the child with its only free jaw.
The unicorn cub couldn't bear to see it, and wanted to go up to help her out of the confinement, but felt that he couldn't carry such a big snake by himself, let alone a bunch of cubs, so he decided not to startle the snake, and went out to inform the management committee of the demon.
And just as he was walking out, there were footsteps and conversations outside again.
The black thunder fog "swished" to the base of the wall, hiding in the darkness where no skylight was seen.
The people who came were Zhang Xiao, Ou Yafei, and Huang Xu who was gagged.
Kirin Cub:
What the hell is going on
Ou Yafei threw the high school student in his hand in front of the snake.
Huang Xu lay upright in the mud, unconscious.
The snake didn't react at all, still protecting the child in its arms.
Zhang Xiao wondered, "Is it useful?"
"The aura on his body is very clean, like a great spiritual plant." Ou Yafei picked up Huang Xu again, "Even if he fainted all the way, it might be because of fright, but now it seems to be gone again."
Zhang Xiao scolded: "You didn't even figure out what he was, so you brought him here. How can you explain to his school?"
"If there is no spiritual energy to pour it, this snake will really die." Ou Yafei didn't care, "not to mention that it's not uncommon for a high school student to fall down the mountain and fall to his death. Bihai will pay for the money, but in case this kid It’s really useful, and we are the ones who make money.”
Zhang Xiao didn't raise any further objections, and took out the syringe and potion from the mountaineering bag: "First, let's see what kind of plant it is."
Ou Yafei unpacked and prepared to give Huang Xu an injection. Ji Xingling actually didn't understand what happened in the middle, but it was easy to distinguish the villain from the hostage. Seeing that the red viscous potion was shot into Huang Xu's body, he felt that it was impossible, so he had to come forward to rescue him, so With a "boom", it rushed out of the darkness and swept up the unlucky hostage like a hurricane.
The light blue lightning pierced the air, and both Zhang Xiao and Ou Yafei were thrown to the ground by this huge force. Their hands and feet were numb for a long time, and they looked at each other in shock: "What... what's going on?"
The unicorn cub carried Huang Xu on his shoulders, and rushed down the mountain while thinking, Damn, you crazy luck is so lucky to be able to lie on my back.
Huang Xu, who was "very lucky", was beaten until he was unconscious and dying.
In the farmyard at the foot of the mountain, the driver, Lao Feng, was basking in the sun when he suddenly saw a cloud of black clouds blowing down from the sky.
"What is this!" He stretched out his hand to catch the huge lump of... people coming towards him, panicked.
"Send him to the hospital first." Ji Xingling ran out of breath, freed his hand to call the Yao Management Committee, and then told Lao Feng, "Find a few more people to go up the mountain, the faster the better, just say to help me carry the luggage and take the rest The two students who got down also got down the mountain."
Old Feng asked: "What happened?"
"That scientific research team has a problem, it seems to be smuggling monster products." Ji Xingling stood by the window, "Hello, Uncle Xiezhi."
The other person had a friendly attitude: "Cub, I need to find your father."
"I will report the case."
"What's the case? Your mother won't buy you a lollipop?"
The black history at the age of five was brought up again, and the cruel school bully choked slightly: "Someone imprisoned monsters."
