Chapter 358 Can We Have Some Shame?
It turned out that her guess was correct. Ye Xiaomei looked at Tang Buci suddenly.
Under the shining light of the stone, Tang Bushi's appearance had a kind of hazy beauty, as if he was a piece of colorful jade growing out of a colorful stone. He was very beautiful, and his facial features would definitely make him a stunning beauty even if they were placed on a woman's face.
"Only the white snake's venom can dissolve the outer layer of stone. Otherwise, the black toad's eggs will have no chance of breaking through the stone, right?"
After Ye Xiaomei said this, Tang Buci looked at Ye Xiaomei again:
"I've really noticed you after not seeing you for three days, but..."
At this point, Tang Buci was reminded of his sadness: "Didn't you lose the white snake?"
Ye Xiaomei sighed: "What can I do? It can crawl. I also want to bring it back to study it."
Tang Buci disagreed with this statement: "Where did you find this black toad? Why don't you go there again? There must be white snakes living nearby."
Ye Xiaomei felt that it was a waste of breath to talk to him: "He ran away. I told you, where can we find him if he ran away?" But in her heart she was thinking that this was a military area and it was not a place that one could go to whenever they wanted.
If there are white snakes, then of course there are, because where would the eggs come from without a mother snake?
"Then as long as the Black Toad is here, the White Snake will still come."
As soon as Tang Buci finished speaking, Ye Xiaomei said impatiently:
"Then go find it yourself. A hole was discovered at the 615 military base. I told you about it. The research team went there, but the stone they dug out disappeared. Qin Rong was so upset that she collapsed. Do you want to talk to her?"
Ye Xiaomei's subconscious words were very obvious - you've seen Shitou, and you're also helpless, so stop staring at me, if you want to stare at someone, stare at Qin Rong.
Tang Buci raised his eyebrows: "Qin Rong? Is he really sick?"
Ye Xiaomei heard this and said, "What do you mean? It's as if you knew she would fall ill."
Tang Buci sat down and poured a cup of tea, then said slowly, "There is a rare genetic disease in their family. I heard about this by chance when I first went to the Military General Hospital for treatment of my leg disease. I also happened to meet Qin Rong there. It seems that her blood gene sample is still being studied in the database of the Military General Hospital. It is a confidential file. However, this is not the main point..."
Ye Xiaomei curled her lips. This guy who had been lame for more than ten years actually knew so much information. He even knew that Qin Rong had a family genetic disease. He was really a pervert. But it was no different because he had money to make the world go round.
"So what's the main thing?"
Tang Buci said: "The main thing is that she has almost fallen into a state of madness in recent years because of her research on white snakes and black toads. I think it was to save herself and her daughter."
At this point, Ye Xiaomei remembered: "I also heard that she has a sick daughter."
Tang Bu Ci didn't say much, waved his hand and returned to the topic:
"Anyway, it's an incurable disease that only spreads to girls, not boys. It's none of our business. Otherwise, I'll pay for a few people to go to the 615th Military Region and see if we can find the White Snake."
Bewitched, Ye Xiaomei said unhappily, "Anyway, I'm not going."
After Ye Xiaomei finished speaking, she wrapped up the black stone and put it back into the cloth bag, which made Tang Bushi's eyes look like long hooks.
But there was no choice. Ye Xiaomei wanted to leave, and Tang Buchu had no choice.
On the way, Ye Xiaomei couldn't figure out something. Could it be that her family's genetic disease was a bone disease? So she had to find the Black Toad Stone. If she found the White Snake, she could find the Black Toad Stone. Then why did she mention the Human-Snake Research Base?
She also said that it was not easy to go back several decades, otherwise she could go back some time, which would give her more opportunities to study human snakes.
Ye Xiaomei never figured out what this meant. However, on the other hand, even though the bottom of the pot was lost, didn't she still catch a living black toad?
Black toads will enter a dormant period at certain times, and can still be used for medicinal purposes. Could it be that her daughter inherited a bone disease?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei recalled the day she arrived. The research team was still digging for the white snake, and she didn't know whether they had found it or not. She didn't hear about the news afterwards.
Ye Xiaomei touched the cloth bag. Her guess coincided with Tang Buci's. If there was no white snake, the black toad might have really died in the stone and could not get out.
Ye Xiaomei had a lucky mentality and asked Tang Buci to go to 615 to find Baishe, but she definitely couldn't go.
The schedule for the second semester of junior high school is very tight, otherwise she might lose the place in the next year's advanced level exam because of her poor performance due to absence from classes without reason.
Ye Xiaomei gritted her teeth and turned back.
When I first arrived at Tang Buci's residence, I heard him say loudly:
"You're not my biological father, so why did you ask me to go to Changshou Village with you? That place is not a place for people to live."
Tang Buci could spend several lifetimes living here, eating and waiting to die, so why should he go to such a poor and remote place to suffer?
The old man sighed and said earnestly, "My son, you have to go back. Maybe the red maple tree can still be saved."
Tang Buci's tone became clearer when he heard this: "The roots of the tree have been dug up. Do you think it can survive?"
After hearing these words, Ye Xiaomei felt it was impolite to go in.
The old man and Tang Buci stopped talking at the same time. The old man simply changed the subject:
"Go back."
Tang Bushi saw the old man's alertness, leaned on the armrests of the chair with his arms folded, and said suddenly:
"Don't be on guard. This girl has a deeper connection with the White Snake than I do. Changshou Village is just her finger."
What are you talking about? Ye Xiaomei rolled her eyes at Tang Buci. She sat down and poured herself a cup of tea without asking him to come.
"What are you talking about?"
The old man kept looking at Ye Xiaomei at this time. He didn't quite believe that this girl had any relationship with the white snake in Changshou Village.
The next second, Ye Xiaomei was coughing because the old man was counting on his fingers on the spot. Oh my God, he is an old charlatan.
He counted on his fingers and muttered to himself, "No, this is not possible..." As he spoke, he moved closer to Ye Xiaomei, raised his wrinkled hands, pried open Ye Xiaomei's eyelids and looked inside.
Ye Xiaomei only felt that the old man's face became larger and more distorted in her pupils, and she could even see a few of his nose hairs clearly:
"What are you doing, old man?" She stepped back.
Tang Buci added as if he was joking: "The old people in Changshou Village all have the Tujia method of seeing the spirit by looking into the eyes."
"Eyes are the windows to the soul. They can indeed see, but what do you see, old man?"
Ye Xiaomei was also curious. She knew that she must be related to the White Snake, but so far she couldn't find out what the relationship was.
Hiss! The old man touched his beard. He had just taken a shower and was given two sets of clean work clothes by Tang Buci, who had not yet lost his humanity. He did not look so shabby anymore.
He said to himself suspiciously, "It can't be enough. Why is it an egg?"
“…”
“…”
Tang Buci and Ye Xiaomei were petrified and asked in unison: "Eggs?"
The old man stared at Ye Xiaomei, his pupils shrinking and contracting. After a long while, he got a little impatient with everyone waiting, so he slowly opened his mouth and said:
"It may be a snake egg. There is a connection, but it is not deep enough. There were too many spirit snakes that died that year. I don't know which ancestor reincarnated his spirit into the girl. But don't be afraid. This is not a bad thing. Don't be afraid..."
In the end, the old man was most worried that the girl would be frightened after hearing these strange words, so he quickly poured her some tea to calm her down.
Tang Buci, who was standing aside, withdrew his surprised gaze and murmured, "Will she be afraid? She is fearless..."
Ye Xiaomei was actually scared to death at this time. Although the old man said it was not a bad thing, a living person had a relationship with a snake, and the snake egg was seen in her soul. How could she not be afraid?
After hearing Tang Buci's nonchalant attitude, he immediately became unhappy:
"What do you mean? You have a snake-shaped birthmark on your back. You might be a snake that has transformed into a androgynous person. You are covered in hair and you still sarcastically call others monsters. Can you please have some shame?"
