"I'm afraid I'm going to delay the girl." Gong Liulang's eyes were cold, and he turned and walked out of the house. "The spring rain is wet and cold, I'd better go back and change clothes first."
A real man can bend and stretch, Wei Xiyin quickly apologized.
"It's my fault. Liu Langjun, please don't catch a cold."
As she spoke, she turned her head and called out, "Uncle Wu, quickly have the servants take Liu Langjun to change into dry clothes, and then make a pot of tea to drive away the cold."
She finished her words.
Immediately, a servant came over with clothes and hot tea.
Gong Liulang glanced at her indifferently, handed her the stairs, and left with the servants.
Wei Xiyin and Uncle Wu were the only ones left in the room.
Uncle Wu was worried, "The girl used to have very good manners and etiquette. Everyone praised her when she was in Kyoto. How come she became so casual and unrestrained after coming back? After all, Gong Liulang is a young man from a noble family, and he brought food to the fort, so he is considered a guest..." Uncle Wu was so worried that he kept complaining.
Wei Xiyin interrupted him with a half-smile, "Uncle Wu, tell me, what did Gong Liulang come to the fort for? He hasn't responded yet. Has he already contacted Grandfather?"
Qichuan is very close to Kyoto. I'm afraid what Gong Liulang wants is not a small matter. Wei Xiyin guessed that it is either related to his family or to Kyoto.
Uncle Wu was choked when he heard this.
"Of course, the way we treat guests depends on who they are." Wei Xiyin knew she had guessed correctly when she saw Wu Bo's reaction. She remained calm and continued, "This person is not on the same side as the Yizhou Army. The more impolite I am, the more confident he will be."
I just let him talk in wet clothes, and it wasn't like I was deliberately making things difficult for him. He just came back on his own and didn't even have time to change his clothes before he came to me.
The only thing that was overlooked was that Gong Liulang actually discovered the problem of plant mutation, and from the sound of his voice, it seemed that he had seen something with his own eyes.
But what is Gong Liulang’s real name?
After a while, Gong Liulang had changed his clothes and came back.
Uncle Wu bowed and left with his servants.
Wei Xiyin restrained her expression. The plant mutation problem was the most urgent issue at the moment, and the rest could be put aside for the time being.
As soon as everyone sat down, she asked directly, "What did Liu Langjun find on the mountain?"
Gong Liulang picked up the hot tea on the table, held it in his hands but did not drink it. He looked up at her and said, "Didn't the girl find out too?"
"Yes." Wei Xiyin said, "I just went out to take a look and found that there were abnormalities in the roots of the plants. Their growth rate has increased. At present, we know too little about it, so we don't know whether it is good or bad."
Gong Liulang replied calmly, "Don't worry for now, girl. It seems that apart from faster growth, there are no other disadvantages."
Gong Liulang, with twenty guards and the Yizhou Army, entered the interior of Crow Mountain to look for salt mines. The mines were difficult to find and were a test of their endurance. They climbed over several mountains in a row and had long since walked out of the area defined by the fort.
Before setting off, everyone was prepared for a long search, so they prepared two months of dry food.
Who knew I would be so lucky.
On the fourth day after entering the mountains, we discovered the salt mine.
The group was very surprised and planned to return to the dock immediately after marking the place.
As a result, it started to rain lightly that night.
Fortunately, there are dense trees on the mountain and it does not have any impact.
After resting for a night on the mountain, everyone continued to return along the original route. When they came, everyone's attention was on finding the mine, and they didn't pay much attention to the surrounding plants.
In spring, everything comes back to life, with tender leaves growing on branches and green grass. It is a normal sight.
Gong Liulang, who was walking in the middle of the team, suddenly stopped in front of a redwood tree, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhang Yuanyan hurried forward and asked, "What happened to Liu Langjun?"
Gong Liulang pointed to the tree below and said, "This chicory plant had just sprouted when we arrived."
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger. The chicory stems under the tree were cylindrical and slightly curved, with a gray-green or purple surface, and were obviously mature.
Chicory can be used as medicine and is a common herb.
But winter has just passed, so it shouldn't mature so quickly.
Only then did everyone feel something was wrong.
Gong Liulang pointed at the jagged tooth marks on the grass, his eyes flickering. "It looks like some small creature has nibbled on it. Let's see if there are any nests or tree holes nearby."
Humans can mutate, animals can mutate, but what about plants?
Gong Liulang thought of countless possibilities in an instant. The world is already so difficult. If the plants have problems again, what will happen to the survivors?
Everyone immediately felt like they were facing a great enemy and began to search the nearby jungle.
Gong Liulang chose the same method as Wei Xiyin and found tools to dig out the chicory.
The result is the same.
Groups of small, actively dividing branches appear at the base of the rhizome.
Soon the guards and the Yizhou army discovered the cave and caught several mountain rats.
Because they were afraid that these mountain rats would mutate after eating plants, everyone did not dare to touch them directly and instead used the tools they brought with them to trap them.
Gong Liulang stared at the whole chicory he had dug out, thought for a moment, and then threw it directly to the mountain rat.
Several mountain mice huddled together, not daring to move forward at first. But when they realized there was no danger, they immediately surrounded the chicory and ate it with relish.
After they finished eating, he said, "Stay in the mountains for one night and go back tomorrow. We must find out what's wrong with these plants."
Zhang Yuanyan nodded and said, "Sixth Young Master is right. We cannot be careless about this matter. Let's set up camp here today."
The Yizhou army and guards received the order.
In order to confirm whether there were problems with other plants, the men dug out all the weeds that could be dug nearby and even cut down two large trees.
The results showed that the roots of all vegetation began to split and showed varying degrees of mutation.
