Chapter 471: The Conspiracy of Wazhou
Ye Xiaomei and Shang Zhen looked at each other. Isn't that the case?
Qiu Ah Man said seriously: "Can't the Japanese take the white snake away with them?"
After hearing this, Ye Xiaomei sighed and nodded:
"But since they also have white snakes, why would they risk breeding black toads on Chinese soil?"
And it was in the 615 Military Department. Isn't this like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
Qiu Ah Man said calmly: "I was also wondering why those Japanese planned to bring black toads to China to breed. In order to investigate this matter, I exposed my identity, but I do know the reason."
"What's the reason?" Shang Zhen and Ye Xiaomei asked in unison, staring at Qiu Ameng.
Qiu A paused and said, "Wazhou is an island, and blood maple trees cannot grow there at all. Some people who understand the art of witchcraft say that blood maple trees are the root of China."
Blood maple tree? Ye Xiaomei and Monk really understood what he meant. It was talking about that special red maple tree.
As for the Chinese roots, old man Yuan, who always calls her ancestor, also said this. Maybe he is also a fortune teller and understands this better than an outsider.
But speaking of this, Ye Xiaomei suddenly remembered something:
“So it was the Japanese who uprooted the red maple trees more than 30 years ago.”
She wasn’t sure before, but now that all the information is combined, Ye Xiaomei is sure.
"Not bad." Qiu Ah Man's eyes flashed with gloom. "When I was wanted, I narrowly escaped death and returned to the country. I hid from everywhere and was investigated all the time. The Japanese wanted to study the cultivation of blood maple, but the roots of the tree could not be transported out of the country."
Ye Xiaomei heaved a sigh of relief: "So it's still in China."
"Yes, because it is too big and difficult to hide from others."
After saying this, Qiu Ah Man sighed and added: "Later, I changed my name and identity. I don't know what happened after that."
Ye Xiaomei fell into deep thought. If it was so huge, where could it be hidden? Could it be hidden in a secret place of a scientific research organization?
Shang Zhen, however, didn't think about the issues she didn't want to deal with, so he instinctively asked, "What was your original name?"
Qiu Ah Man glanced at Shang Zhen and thought that this girl was too naive. She had already said that she had been an undercover agent before and was wanted, but she still wanted to know her life experience? Wasn't she afraid of getting into trouble?
Qiu Ah Man could only shake his head: "Nothing to tell you, it's for your own good."
Ye Xiaomei also felt that Shang Zhen shouldn't ask this question this time: "Shang Zhen, just eat your meal."
As he said this, he took away his handkerchief and found that the bleeding had finally stopped.
After putting on her coat, Ye Xiaomei casually ate a few bites and asked, "Do you know Ma Qijun?"
Qiu Ah Man nodded and said, "I've heard about him a few years ago. He's a famous tough guy in the Marine Corps, an all-around commander of the navy, army, and air force. Basically, in Japan, seeing his military flag insignia would scare people away. He can be considered a hero at a young age."
Ye Xiaomei was shocked. In fact, she had known for a long time that her man was very powerful, but at that moment she had another idea:
"He is my husband."
"..."Qiu Ah Man was slightly stunned.
Ye Xiaomei picked up the chopsticks and took two bites. "I think what Tang Buci said the day I first met you was right. One day I might be able to help you."
Qiu Ah Man's eyes sparkled: "If Miss Ye is willing to help me, with Ma Qijun's military achievements and position, he must be able to help me clear the charges."
Ye Xiaomei looked at him carefully. In fact, Qiu Ah Man was just framed and lost his loot. When he was found out, his gun had killed one of his comrades. He couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Being an undercover agent is a high-risk job, as there is a high possibility that the person may be suspected of having been bribed by the enemy.
"I can't find him yet. When I find him, we can talk in person. I think he will help you." After saying this, Ye Xiaomei lowered her head and ate her meal slowly, but her mind was racing.
In fact, Ye Xiaomei could boldly guess why the Japanese were targeting the three treasures of Changshou Village.
Black toads can be used as weapons. The purpose of their experiments is simply to allow this poison to take root and multiply in the land of China, and there is no white snake venom to antidote.
Decades ago, they had already trampled on China's mountains and rivers once, and it seems they are not willing to give up. Here they want to use unconventional means to shake China's mountains and rivers.
"No, if the roots of the tree were dug up, how could there be a tree growing in Baiyu Temple?" Shang Zhen spoke vaguely with his mouth full.
Ye Xiaomei was instantly brought back to reality.
Qiu Ah Man was also stunned.
The three of them stared at each other, you looked at me, I looked at her, and she looked at me.
Yes, Ye Xiaomei fell into deep thought: "Are there tree roots here too?"
Qiu Ah Meng shook his head: "I have only been working at the Tang Family Residence for a short time. I have only been to Baiyu Temple a few times to check on the situation, and I have never been inside."
Having said this, Qiu Ah Man's eyes immediately moved away from Shang Zhen's face.
"I'll go take a look." Ye Xiaomei couldn't wait any longer, so she got up and left.
At this moment, the sky outside was already gray. Shang Zhen shouted from behind: "I'm not going there. If anyone goes there a second time, I'm not a human being."
Ye Xiaomei ignored her, and Qiu Ah Man got up and followed her.
In the courtyard of Baiyu Temple, Ye Xiaomei stepped in without stopping.
When Qiu Ah Man stepped in, he looked around and found that there was not even a trace of a snake, so he followed with big strides.
Ye Xiaomei was squatting beside the dry well. The red maple tree seedling was only as thick as a chopstick and had eight leaves. Shang Zhen plucked one of them with his clumsy hands, and now there were seven left.
At the same time, the black toad at the bottom of the well seemed to sense Ye Xiaomei's breath, and it used all four claws to dig up the soil desperately, until it was completely buried and then it calmed down.
"Is this the one?" Qiu Ah Meng asked.
"Yes, you said there must be old roots underneath, otherwise how could it sprout." Ye Xiaomei muttered to herself suspiciously.
However, she remembered what the old beggar had said to Tang Buci, asking him to go back to Changshou Village, saying that as long as he went back, the red maple tree would survive.
Is this related to Tang Buci's red maple energy?
As Ye Xiaomei was thinking this, Qiu Ah Man said in a low voice: "The blood maple tree is not bearing fruit. There should be no other reason for it to sprout except that it has roots."
Ye Xiaomei really wanted to dig it out, but thinking about the momentum of the White Snake protecting the red maple tree, she decided to give up. What if the six relatives disowned their teacher and ancestor and bit her?
At night, after returning to the courtyard, Ye Xiaomei couldn't sleep.
Ma Qijun, where are you?
The cell phone is always turned off when I call.
It's as if this person is dead.
Bah, bah, bah! What nonsense are you talking about? Ye Xiaomei turned over.
A text message suddenly popped up on her phone, and Ye Xiaomei was delighted.
When I opened it, I saw that it was not from Ma Qijun, but from Qin Xiaoyi. It only had three words in it: I'm sorry.
Ye Xiaomei sat up suddenly, but quickly lay down again calmly.
It seemed that the three days were up and she still hadn't been able to get her husband back, but this was within Ye Xiaomei's expectations.
The doubts behind this matter really need to be explained to me in person by my husband.
However, she and Guan Houhua are now husband and wife in public, and if she is too calm, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
I have to think of a way to vent my temper and kill two birds with one stone and scare Qin Xiaoyi.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei made a phone call directly, while putting on her clothes:
"Qin Xiaoyi, you've ruined my family, I can't forgive you. Where are you? Number 7, right? Wait for me, I'll be right there."
