Chapter 135 Purpose
The next day was another sunny day. There was still fog in the forest, but it did not affect people's walking.
Qian Zexi and Bian Qin broke off their relationship completely, and together they set out on their journey home. Surprisingly, Bian Qin and his men followed closely behind.
It doesn't seem to make much sense whether to divide it or not.
Since Qian Zexi was not very good at leading a team, after returning to the original place twice, Sheng Yulan took over the entire situation.
After walking for two days in a row, the sun became hotter and hotter, and the fog in the forest dissipated completely, replaced by stuffy heat, unbearable stuffiness.
Sheng Yulan found a place to rest temporarily and prepared to gather everyone's wisdom to discuss the next step.
The reason was simple: I hadn't found the correct exit. Even without the fog, I still couldn't tell the direction.
"I think we should find a water source first." Teacher Zou suggested.
The weather was hot, and food was scarce. At worst, there was nutrient solution, but drinking water was severely lacking. Even if we found the right way, we wouldn't be able to make it back.
Considering that the suggestions made by Teacher Zou were very practical, everyone accepted them with pleasure.
Sheng Yulan seemed to be very good at finding water sources, and that afternoon they were near the water source.
Yun Xiang lifted his foot to look at his shoes. The water seeping from the ground was almost reaching the back of his feet. He muttered to himself that it should be almost there.
Shi Qixuan muttered with disgust, "Oh, my shoes are wet, it's so uncomfortable!"
"What the hell is this place? It makes me uncomfortable just looking at it!"
"Yun Xiang, Xiang Xiang, Yun Yun, You You..."
Yun Xiang couldn't stand it any longer and suggested halfheartedly, "You can take off your shoes and walk barefoot."
With one comfort a day, even a saint would have to apply for intelligent voice to start human-computer dialogue.
"Oh my, Yun Xiang, you've become evil! You know I—"
"arrive!"
Yunxiang looked around and saw that the river was very wide and sparkling. Because there was no river channel, the water rushed out in circles.
Hey, what is that? Just as Yun wanted to see it clearly, he heard Shi Qixuan yelling exaggeratedly, "Ah, this water is so dirty, how can I drink it?"
"We'll go get it upstream and leave you here. You can't leave until you drink it." Yun Xiang said angrily.
"Ahhh, Yun Xiang is so cruel." Her voice screamed even louder. Yun Xiang touched her arm and felt very regretful for provoking her.
Everyone walked upstream together. The terrain upstream was steep and the water was fast, so they took the middle section.
Yun wanted to see everyone gathered together, chattering non-stop, and subconsciously stepped back.
Having suffered from Shi Qixuan's abuse for a long time, she just wanted to find a place with relatively few people and be quiet.
I quickly picked out a stone. Next to it was a crooked tree, right next to the river. Both looked malnourished, which was very strange.
Yun wanted to squat on a rock, but after thinking for a while, he took out the double-handled pot and prepared to fill it with water and boil it to drink.
She took the cup and scooped several times in a row. Suddenly, she saw some thin threads in it. She thought they were hairs, so she poured them out and scooped them again.
And, after pouring it out, there's still more? Yun Xiang felt something was wrong and immediately took out a pair of tweezers, pinched out the thin thread, and examined it carefully. Wow, it turned out to be roots! Roots!
An Inch of Lotus? Yun Xiang suddenly stood up, and in a moment of haste, he accidentally kicked the double-eared pot, which immediately went with the current.
Yun Xiang didn't care about the pain, he jumped up immediately, grabbed the branch beside him, turned over and climbed up, climbed along the branch to the fork, stood up and looked out.
This time I could finally see clearly that it was lotus flowers! Vast tracts of lotus flowers! Brilliant and gorgeous lotus flowers in bloom!
Is this the lair where Yi Cun Lian came from?
Yun wanted to jump down from the tree immediately and go find Teacher Sheng, hoping he would be in time!
After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it. My heart sank to the bottom and I hurried to run downstream.
At this moment, he ran into Shi Qixuan head-on, "Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere but I can't find you! You're really good at hiding, making me want to—"
"Stop..." Yun Xiang grabbed Shi Qixuan's arm, "Where's Teacher Sheng? Where are the others?"
"We went to appreciate the lotus flowers. There are so many lotus flowers downstream. That's why I came to see you!" Shi Qixuan said first.
"Fuck, what a joke!" Yun Xiang was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.
Shi Qixuan was startled, and felt that something was going on. "What...what happened?"
"One-inch lotus!"
"One Inch Lotus?" Shi Qixuan suddenly raised her voice, "You, my... savior!"
"... Let's go, I hope we can make it in time. By the way, who told you about the lotus flowers?"
Where they were, nothing could be seen except a patch of green.
"Wait, let me think about it, after you said that, it seems that someone really shouted, Yes, it's Feng Xuefeng, that's right, it's him!
At that time I laughed at him, saying that liking flowers was not like a man!"
Hey, what's the logic?
"I understand!" Yun Xiang said solemnly, "This is all Bian Qin's fault!"
"What! Ouch!" Shi Qixuan was so surprised that she almost tripped over a tree root.
"Bian Qin followed us all the way, but in reality, she was trying to trick us. Think about it, every time she shows up, she acts like a savior, full of confidence.
This kind of visual impact can easily make people dependent, especially the teams she has led. Whether it is Uncle Jersey or Teacher Sheng, why do their decisions always coincide with hers?
It's a psychological, unconscious dependence that they themselves struggle to detect. Add to that Feng Xuefeng, who timely requested Teacher Zou, and we've arrived here before we know it."
"Teacher Zou's letter?"
"Why not? The opinions he gave were all in line with ours. It's easy to misunderstand him as being eager to show off."
"Why didn't you hide in the end, but instead came forward yourself?"
"Because they achieved their goal!"
"What's the purpose?"
"Get rid of Yi Cun Lian, regardless of life or death!" This was Bian Qin's only goal from beginning to end.
But things are far from that simple, I'm afraid there are even worse...
"Wow! These two are birds of a feather! That old woman Bian Qin will get her comeuppance sooner or later!"
The One-Inch Lotus is very similar to the common mutant lotus, with the same leaves and flowers.
But if you look closely, you will see that the lotus heart is hollow, and the petals are pointed, like sharp teeth, glowing coldly in the sunlight.
Frogs were jumping around on the lotus leaves, as if they were playing, and the flowers were waving in the wind, swaying their bodies. Everyone was fascinated by the sight, and there was an atmosphere of peace.
Yun Xiang came over and saw this scene. These people...really, they didn’t see that the frog’s tongue is more than twice as long as an ordinary one!
Besides, the jungle is so dangerous. Wouldn't it be suspicious if such a large lotus flower suddenly appeared? Yun Xiang wanted to quietly remind everyone and try not to disturb Yicunlian.
Unexpectedly, a man suddenly rolled up his trouser legs and was about to go down to pick lotus roots. The frog next to him stretched out its tongue and waited.
"stop!"
"run!"
The calm appearance was broken, and Yicunlian instantly showed its fangs and swayed wildly.
Everyone was still in shock, but the woman's voice was too familiar. It was like a conditioned reflex, and they turned over and ran away.
The Inch Lotus frantically absorbed the river water, then grew countless stems and chased after everyone.
The frog on the lotus leaf seemed to be full of air, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a giant frog as tall as a person, and cooperated with the one-inch lotus to catch prey.
The frog's tongue is thick and long, and is covered with mucus. If someone licks it, a layer of bloody skin will be torn off immediately.
