Chapter 011 The Butterfly Effect? (Revised)
Ye Qing looked at the wild fruits at his feet and felt helpless.
Ye Qing felt really bad for destroying the couple's love nest yesterday, but the victim had disappeared, and even if she wanted to make amends, she couldn't find the culprit.
She was originally at fault, but she didn't expect that the two squirrels not only did not blame her, but they also gave her a thank-you gift because she rescued the trapped female squirrel.
Although it is almost autumn, most of the nuts in the forest are not yet ripe.
In other words, the nuts that the squirrel couple brought were the food they stored last year.
It will soon be time to harvest a new crop of nuts, and the couple probably doesn't have much left in stock. But even in this food emergency, the two squirrels still sent her such a generous thank-you gift, which touched Ye Qing, yet made her feel unworthy.
Ye Qing was not a stingy person and wanted to return the favor. She looked at the wild peanut in her hand, her eyes rolled, and she pressed the peanut into the soil under her feet.
Then quickly inject a strand of wood energy into the peanut shell.
In an instant, the seeds germinated and green seedlings grew. The seedlings grew rapidly to half a meter high and then bloomed wildly. After the flowers withered and fell to the ground, the fallen peanuts quickly bulged in the soil and filled with pulp. By the time the peanut seedlings withered and yellowed, the clusters of peanuts underneath were about to break through the soil.
The whole process took less than two minutes and the two little squirrels were stunned.
Ye Qing pulled up the peanut seedling with its roots with a smile, and clusters of white and tender peanuts came into view.
Although there was only one seed, the peanut seedlings grew unusually strong after being catalyzed by Ye Qing's supernatural powers, and the fruits were of course large and plump.
Ye Qing helped pick the peanuts and also dug out the ones buried in the soil. When they finally got back, they found that there were at least five or six kilograms of peanuts.
Ye Qing only took one peanut from the box, and she pushed all the rest of the peanuts in front of the two little squirrels.
The two little squirrels didn't understand the situation yet and stared at Ye Qing blankly, as if they didn't quite understand her intention.
Ye Qing chuckled:
"These are my compensation gifts to you. Hurry up and take them back and hide them. Otherwise, other small animals may come by and snatch the peanuts away."
The two squirrels obviously didn't understand what was said.
But Ye Qing didn't care whether the two could understand or not. As long as she didn't take the peanuts away, the two squirrels would move back to the tree hole sooner or later.
Five or six pounds of peanuts may not be a lot for humans, but for little squirrels, it is almost their food for half a winter.
Sure enough, after Ye Qing turned around and left, the two squirrels started jumping and squeaking behind him, anxiously reminding Ye Qing that they had left something behind.
But Ye Qing did not look back, but quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
The two little squirrels looked at the pile of peanuts and seemed to vaguely realize Ye Qing's intention. After looking at each other, the couple grabbed the peanuts and stuffed them into their mouths tacitly.
Their bulging cheeks were about to burst, and the two kids cleverly covered the remaining peanuts tightly with fallen leaves before leaving with peace of mind.
Ye Qing didn't care about the two little squirrels transporting peanuts. She was busy in the woods for another hour or two. When the sun set and she realized it was getting late, she prepared to go down the mountain and go home.
However, considering what happened in the morning, she did not dare to go down the mountain so boldly. Instead, she used her supernatural power to control the vines to quickly weave a basket, and then picked several wild mushrooms and wild fruits she found in the mountains and threw them into the basket before going down the mountain.
She was mainly afraid that after the two spies were sent to the police station, the local police would come to Sheshan for an investigation. If she happened to come down the mountain empty-handed and was seen by someone, it might arouse the suspicion of the police.
It must be said that Ye Qing's caution was necessary. After she arrived at the foot of the mountain with the basket on her back, she saw several uniformed policemen from the police station at the place where she had placed a few vines to block the road. They were probably here to investigate the scene.
When Ye Qing came down from the mountain, a sharp-eyed policeman immediately stopped her.
"Wait a minute, little girl!"
Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat, but he still walked over obediently.
Fortunately, because Ye Qing was dressed inconspicuously, and she had been in the woods for two days, her body was covered with dust and sweat, and she looked no different from a girl from a nearby village, so the policeman didn't pay much attention to her. He only asked her when she entered the mountains and whether she had seen anyone suspicious in the mountains.
After Ye Qing finished answering in a nervous and helpless manner, the policeman nodded, made a few notes in the notebook and left it at that without questioning her any further.
Having successfully gotten away with it, Ye Qing did not dare to linger at the foot of the mountain and quickly ran away.
Originally, she was going to take a bus back to the city at the foot of Sheshan Mountain, but seeing the current situation, if she waited for the bus nearby, she might be targeted by the police again, so she decided to walk a little further away to avoid the police's investigation and surveillance.
Shanghai People's Hospital.
Gu Weidong slowly opened his eyes.
"Boss, are you awake? Do you recognize this person?"
Sensing movement on the bed's side, a burly man immediately rushed over, put a big round face in front of him, and stretched out two fingers anxiously.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, Gu Weidong's emotions surged and his eyes became red on the spot.
He quickly lowered his eyelids to hide his almost inappropriate emotions.
"I only hurt my leg, not my brain."
Gu Weidong's tone was so cold that it choked people as soon as he opened his mouth.
The fool who was scolded was not angry, but laughed, and explained in a good-tempered manner with his head held back:
"The doctor said that there is a risk of not waking up after anesthesia. I am worried that you will have some sequelae."
Gu Weidong didn't respond.
He was more concerned about how he got to the hospital than the sequelae.
In his previous life, he was trapped in a trap in Sheshan for two days. Finally, a farmer who went into the mountains to chop firewood found him dying and rescued him from the trap.
Although he luckily saved his life, due to delayed treatment, his left leg that was shot became lame and he had to retire from the army.
So after finding out that he was reborn eighteen years ago and returned to an important turning point in his destiny, he was unwilling to repeat the same mistake.
Even though he knew that the two spies he was hunting would lie in ambush outside the trap, waiting to snipe him, he had to do his best to climb out of the trap before his strength was completely drained.
But what Gu Weidong didn't expect was that after he finally climbed up and made mental preparations for a life-and-death fight with the spies, the people waiting outside the trap were not the two cunning spies, but a strange, skinny, yellow-haired girl.
Afterwards, after confirming that the yellow-haired girl was harmless, he fainted due to excessive blood loss. When he regained consciousness, he was already in the hospital.
"The person who sent me to the hospital was a little girl in her teens, wasn't she?" Gu Weidong asked.
Gao Fusheng was stunned for a moment and shook his head:
"No, it was a police officer from the Public Security Bureau who brought you here."
"It is said that the driver and conductor of the suburban bus passed by Sheshan and found you and two spies passed out in the grass by the roadside, so they sent you to the police station."
"After the Municipal Public Security Bureau received the report, they immediately sent someone to take you to the People's Hospital."
"Luckily the driver and the conductor were smart. The doctor said if you hadn't been sent to the hospital in time, your knee would have been damaged."
"But you don't have to worry now. The bullet has been taken out. The doctor said that as long as you take good care of yourself, you will be back to normal in three to two months!"
After listening to Gao Fusheng's explanation, Gu Weidong was also confused.
How come the people who brought him here were the bus driver and the conductor?
He clearly remembered that before he fell into coma, he saw a country girl with a childish face.
Moreover, how could he and two spies be found unconscious in the bushes? The two spies were already caught? How is this possible?!
The capture of the two spies in the previous life was not so smooth. One of them wanted to kill him after falling into his trap, but was killed on the spot by his tricks. The other one escaped successfully under the cover of his companions, and then hid in the city and lurked for several years before being caught.
But now, Gao Fusheng told him that the two spies had both been arrested. They had fainted on the roadside with him and were then taken to the police station. This was so strange!
It doesn't say how the two spies were caught or by whom. It only says that he and the two spies fainted in the grass. How did the driver and the conductor judge that one of them was a spy?
After listening to Gao Fusheng's words, Gu Weidong's mind was full of questions.
But human emotions can't be thought through.
Gu Weidong was getting anxious and angry, while the big idiot Gao Fusheng was grinning with joy, almost losing his mind:
"Boss, you are really amazing. You have caught two spies. This time, you have exceeded your mission. Maybe you can follow the clues and catch all the subordinates of the two spies, or even their superiors!"
"That's why we say you are the trump card of our regiment. You are the most powerful among the battalion commanders and deputy commanders. This mission is urgent and dangerous. Who among the battalion commanders and deputy commanders dares to take over? Only you dare to take action, and you can capture the enemy easily!"
"Who among the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders has the ability to capture two spies alive at once?"
"Boss, you have finally become famous this time. You have made such a great contribution. The regiment will definitely commend you. By then, you may even be promoted to a full-time deputy battalion commander!"
"Hey, well, tell me how you captured those two spies alive?"
Gao Fusheng stared at Gu Weidong with eyes as if he was worshipping an idol.
Obviously, this guy automatically imagined a thrilling arrest scene from the few words from the police station, and took it for granted that the two spies were caught by Gu Weidong himself.
It's not surprising that Gao Fusheng thought this way.
Because he didn't know more about the situation, he only knew that when the driver found Gu Weidong, there were three people lying in the bushes, two of whom were spies tied up with vines.
Gao Fusheng naturally understood that after Gu Weidong caught the spy, he knocked the person unconscious and tied him up at the foot of the mountain. When he was about to take him to the Public Security Bureau, he lost too much blood and fell unconscious.
There was a look of confusion in Gu Weidong's eyes.
Although this mission was assigned to him by the regiment, the capture of the two spies had nothing to do with him.
He didn't even know who saved him, nor did he know how he ended up fainting at the foot of Sheshan Mountain.
There are many doubts here, and he will definitely take the initiative to report it to the leaders of the group.
He was incapable of doing such a shameless thing as falsely claiming military merit, and he was unwilling to do it.
What he couldn't understand was that, based on his previous life experiences, the original trajectory of events shouldn't have been like this.
But now the result is quite different. He was rescued in advance and both spies were caught. This is really strange.
Not to mention Gao Fusheng's curiosity, even Gu Weidong wanted to know what was going on.
Could it be that his rebirth caused the butterfly effect?
Gu Weidong pursed his lips tightly, his mind racing, digging out the events of eighteen years ago and the brief moments of lucidity after his rebirth, trying to find clues.
But in the end he found it was all in vain.
Because his memories of the past were too long ago and already vague, and the time he was awake after his rebirth was too short, he could not find any clues except for the little girl who inexplicably appeared in the mountains late at night.
The only solution is to find the driver and the conductor, ask them about their situation at the time, and see if we can find any useful clues from them.
But just as he was about to get out of bed, Gao Fusheng immediately became anxious and stretched out his hand to stop him:
"Hey, hey, hey, boss, what do you want to do? You can't move in this condition, otherwise your knee won't recover and you'll become a cripple!"
When the word "lame" was mentioned, Gu Weidong froze, and a look of grief and sadness suddenly flashed in his eyes.
In his previous life, because of his lame leg, the first half of his life became a joke. His career was mediocre, his marriage was in jeopardy, and even his children were -
Thinking of this, Gu Weidong couldn't help but take a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Now that he had a chance to start over again, he finally had the opportunity to rewrite his destiny. He dared not act rashly again. If he was not careful, he might break the leg he had managed to save with great difficulty. Then he would have no place to cry.
Since he couldn't get out of bed, he had to think of other ways. Gu Weidong was about to ask Gao Fusheng to go to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the situation and see if he could find the driver and the ticket seller who sent him to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, his eyes inadvertently swept across the end of the bed and suddenly fell on the pair of pants hanging at the end of the bed.
Those were the pants he wore when he was on duty. They must have been changed for him by the nurses at the hospital after he was sent there.
The trousers were a little dirty and had several cuts on them, but Gu Weidong, who always liked to keep things clean and tidy, didn't care whether the trousers were dirty or torn.
Because his eyes were completely attracted by the small piece of white paper faintly exposed in his trouser pocket.
