The autumn is bright and refreshing, with a gentle breeze.

After enduring the unbearable summer heat and welcoming the intoxicating breeze, ginseng also enters the harvest season.

In the forest area, Lao Bai often meets Chen Zhuhui during the summer vacation, but the work of planting ginseng has not been neglected at all. Every time Chu Zhishui drives Xin Yunmao and Chen Zhuhui over, she and Xin Yunmao go to water the ginseng, while Chen Zhuhui accompanies Lao Bai to work.

Now, the little girl goes to Yinhai City to attend university, and the ginseng in the forest area, which is soaked in the magic energy, is also maturing unknowingly.

The garden ginseng planted by Lao Bai is the raw material for ginseng foot bath powder. At present, there is no way to get a return on investment immediately, but the wild ginseng in the forest area can participate in the ginseng auction.

This year, three wild ginsengs were selected. The most powerful one weighed 223 grams. It was the one that Lao Bai had spotted the first time. It was directly circled out from the forest area without any movement or interference. After being bathed in Xin Yunmao's evil spirit, it grew more and more perfect. Even Lao Bai was very careful when picking it, for fear of damaging the ginseng.

The remaining two wild ginsengs are younger, so they are naturally lighter. One weighs 72 grams and the other weighs 71 grams. They are in good condition.

The three ginsengs together don't weigh much, but they are worth a fortune on the market, especially the 223-gram one. Even Boss Peng didn't buy it. After reading the pictures and information sent by Chu Zhishui, he called her to discuss the purchase of ginseng.

On the phone, Mr. Peng's voice was still warm and friendly: "Xiao Chu, I have seen the photos you took. It is actually not appropriate for you to sell me ginseng of this weight directly. For example, we can collect garden ginseng at will, but we have to send wild ginseng with good shape and body to be identified and issued a certificate, and then register to participate in the ginseng auction."

Ginseng has identification standards, and it is definitely not like Lao Bai, who says that any ginseng is what it is, and there are associations to issue certificates. The five shapes are "reed, stalk, pattern, body, and whisker", and the six bodies are "smart, stupid, old, tender, horizontal, and smooth", which are often used to judge whether it is wild ginseng.

"Ginseng auction?" Chu Zhishui asked, "Is this organized by the industry?"

"Yes, there is a mixture of real and fake ginseng on the market now, and the quality varies. As long as the high-quality wild ginseng passes the auction screening, it will be sent to the auction for everyone to observe up close. There will be a starting price, and then the price will be purchased through bidding." Boss Peng explained, "Some people are in a hurry to use wild ginseng, so the price they offer will be higher. It all depends on fate."

Boss Peng is an honest old entrepreneur. He has no intention of buying ginseng directly at a low price. He also invited Chu Zhishui to participate in the third Danshan ginseng auction. Danshan is a well-known ginseng production area with a special appraisal agency that holds an auction every year.

Boss Peng thinks that the market value of the 223-gram wild ginseng is at least hundreds of thousands. If you are lucky, you may get millions. It would be a pity not to participate in the auction. The remaining two wild ginsengs are light in weight, but the national wild ginseng reserves are extremely low, and there are very few on the market. Maybe they can also be sold at a good price.

After listening to Boss Peng's valuation, Chu Zhishui felt that selling ginseng is really a highly profitable industry. No wonder there are so many fakes in the wild ginseng market. You can make a lot of money by successfully deceiving once.

Since the income is so considerable, it's okay to go to Danshan.

Chu Zhishui decided to apply for a ticket, but she just browsed the flight tickets and suddenly thought of something.

Xin Yunmao went to Yinhai City through the hanging, but he only took a walk outside the airport. It was a pity that he didn't take a real plane. The ginseng harvest was closely related to his demonic aura, and he didn't take any money from the bureau, so maybe he should make up for it in other ways.

She calculated in her mind that the ginseng auction would be held on weekdays, and she could go to Danshan on weekends. There are many natural scenic spots there, which is more suitable for Huaijiang local demon tourism to broaden her horizons.

In the director's office, Hu Chenrui sat at a small tea table and made tea. He understood Chu Zhishui's subtle hint and agreed without saying anything: "Sure, as long as he is willing, you can take him."

Chu Zhishui was a little surprised to see Director Hu so happy, and hesitated: "... You and Director Ye do have two different attitudes."

Director Ye wanted to yell about Xin Yunmao's matter, but Director Hu was calm and composed from beginning to end, and even didn't tell her the truth at first.

"That must be two different attitudes. He has been in the bureau for so many years, he should be used to it anyway." Hu Chenrui smiled and said, "Besides, they passed the buck and insisted that I come to Huaijiang. Sometimes I thought about destroying everything."

Chu Zhishui: "?"

It seems that the directors are under great pressure at work, so Director Hu has such a dark idea.

Xin Yunmao was born in Huaijiang and became a god. Huaijiang Observation Bureau was a hot potato. No one wanted to get involved at first, but Hu Chenrui came. He was also jealous of the other party at first, but after a long time, he felt that it was okay. As long as he didn't provoke the God, the God would basically not cause trouble.

"But I haven't thought about it recently. The performance of the bureau has been good in the past two months, so I'd better live a peaceful life." Hu Chenrui drank tea leisurely and said, "Danshan seems to be on the edge of the Kongsang Bureau's jurisdiction. There are sometimes many monsters there, so it's good for you to take him with you."

Chu Zhishui asked suspiciously, "A lot of monsters?"

"Yes, our bureau mainly handles disputes between humans and monsters, but in fact, people from many places are eager to get involved with monsters, and some monsters are even supported by the same family for generations." Hu Chenrui said, "But you have a position in the bureau, so they generally don't dare to mess with you. If you take him with you, there will be no problem."

Chu Zhishui nodded in understanding. It sounds like monsters also have their own small rivers and lakes, with a clear distinction between the official and the private sectors, and entering the bureau is also considered a landing for monsters.

Hu Chenrui: "By the way, if you don't know how to book tickets for monsters, you can ask Ximing for help. I usually take a plane too."

Hu Chenrui is the one who travels most frequently in Huaijiang Bureau. He has to go to Yinhai every year for business expenses, so he is naturally very familiar with human society.

The Observation Bureau is full of monsters, but they also have channels for obtaining certificates, but they have to register with Hong Ximing. When monsters such as Jin Yu enter the bureau, they will get certificates that allow them to pass through human society, but Xin Yunmao is not in the Observation Bureau, and he has rarely left Huaijiang, so he has not used these for a long time.

The Personnel Department and the Director's Office are not far apart, both located on the fourth floor of the office building.

In the office, Chu Zhishui entered the room and explained the matter to Hong Ximing, who then sat in front of the computer and entered the information.

Director Hong was in charge of personnel work. He had registered Chu Zhishui's name in the roster at first, and now he was registering Xin Yunmao's name in another system.

"You need an ID card to book a ticket, so you have to enter the information now." Hong Ximing smiled and said, "Choose Huaijiang for your birthplace, and which day should you choose for your birthday?"

The monster's ID card needs to be set with information, and Director Hong doesn't know Xin Yunmao very well, so naturally he doesn't know how to fill it out.

Chu Zhishui replied, "The first day after the shock."

"Okay, then what year was he born?" Hong Ximing paused and asked, "How old do you think he is?"

I think he is three years old, but this obviously cannot be used as ID information. It's too ridiculous for him to go out with an ID of three years old.

Chu Zhishui said gently, "Sister Hong, you can choose one, it's all fine."

"Okay, then I'll see what your zodiac sign is." Hong Ximing quickly called up the employee information column, found Chu Zhishui's file, and said, "Pick one from your three zodiac signs for him."

"Ah?" Chu Zhishui was stunned and hesitated, "This is not suitable."

What kind of operation idea is this? Why should he choose her based on her zodiac sign?

Hong Ximing's voice was loud and clear: "It's suitable, just pick one at random, it's up to you."

Chu Zhishui: "..."

The monster was very fast in getting the documents. On the day when the Economic Development Department was ready to leave, Xin Yunmao also got his own documents.

At the gate of Huaijiang Airport, Chu Zhishui called out Xin Yunmao in an inconspicuous corner.

When Xin Yunmao appeared, he was wearing a white shirt and black pants. He was tall, thin and upright. He didn't have any luggage in his hands, only a thin card in his right hand. The appearance of the monster ID card looks no different from an ID card, but he seems to have seen it for the first time and is studying the text on it carefully.

"You don't have any luggage?" Chu Zhishui said in surprise, "Come to think of it, you always take out an umbrella from somewhere, but you don't usually carry it with you."

She had never seen Xin Yunmao's backpack before. It was really like a dry bamboo, with nothing on it except leaves. The ink-blue dragon bone umbrella was his most commonly used item. The straight-handled paper umbrella obviously couldn't be folded, but no one knew where he hid it when he was idle.

Chu Zhishui was going to take a plane, so she wore simple and comfortable clothes, and one hand was holding the suitcase handle.

Xin Yunmao did not answer her question directly. He naturally pulled her suitcase over and replied, "Now you have luggage."

"That's mine. You're so welcome." Chu Zhishui raised her eyebrows, "What? You still want to wear women's clothes?"

What do you call this? Your luggage is very good, but now it belongs to me?

Xin Yunmao looked at her in shock, his eyes trembling slightly, his expression was quite subtle: "I don't need to carry my clothes with me."

Chu Zhishui thought about it, he changed clothes with a snap of his fingers, plus he didn't need to eat, and he could use cleaning spells, so he really didn't need to carry any luggage. Plant life is really convenient, just drink some water and sunbathe every day, the God has reached the realm of a fairy, and lives by drinking fairy dew.

"Okay, let's go, let's try taking a plane this time." Chu Zhishui smiled and took him to the security check. She originally wanted to take her suitcase, but Xin Yunmao held it tightly and refused to let go.

Chu Zhishui held the suitcase in her hand, but she couldn't pull it back. She looked at the slender fingers tightly grasping the handle and said in a daze, "What are you doing?"

Xin Yunmao blinked innocently, "I haven't pulled it before."

Chu Zhishui had to let go and let him take her luggage, but she was puzzled in her heart, as he seemed to have pulled luggage at Yinhai Airport.

Xin Yunmao's face was calm, but he was obviously pretending to be reserved. He was in an unfamiliar airport environment, with a hint of novelty in his eyes. He observed with interest, watching the pedestrians around him carrying suitcases coming and going.

The bamboo demon is very interested in modern transportation, which can be seen when riding in the car. Even though his magic can complete teleportation, he is still curious about human transportation.

Chu Zhishui took him all the way through security check and had to take out his ID.

After passing the security check, Xin Yunmao took the suitcase directly from the conveyor belt. He continued to hold the suitcase with one hand and asked Chu Zhishui for his ID with the other hand: "Let me see yours."

"It makes no difference. I studied it the other day." Chu Zhishui saw that he wanted to explore everything, so he handed him his ID.

Xin Yunmao compared the two IDs. He looked at the information on them and commented: "What a coincidence, we are both from Huaijiang."

Chu Zhishui glanced at him speechlessly, thinking that she had known this for a long time.

"What a coincidence, the zodiac signs are actually three-in-one."

Chu Zhishui was speechless, and she said, "We don't look at the zodiac signs here."

"But we all look at them."

"..."

Of course she knew that monsters all look at the zodiac signs! This is what Director Hong set up with her zodiac sign three-in-one!

Xin Yunmao nodded with satisfaction: "Hu Chenrui and his team's invention is quite interesting."

"...It's time to go."

Inside the cabin, Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao sat in a row of two.

Xin Yunmao placed his suitcase on top, and after he sat down, he tensed up and looked restless, just like the first time he took

a car. Chu Zhishui noticed his stiffness, and after confirming that he had fastened his seat belt, he quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's almost the same as taking a car."

Xin Yunmao said nothing and still didn't move.

A moment later, the plane officially took off after taxiing, rising up into the sky. The turbulent airflow caused the fuselage to vibrate, giving the passengers a sense of shock with tinnitus and stuffy noses.

The moment he took off, Xin Yunmao gripped the handle of the seat tightly, his knuckles turned white, and his shoulders didn't move. He didn't look out the window at all, and silently tightened his chin, making people wonder if he was holding his breath and didn't dare to breathe.

After all, he was a plant monster, and it was against common sense for him to be separated from the support of the earth.

"Don't be afraid." Chu Zhishui saw that he was nervous and said softly, "It will be stable soon in the stratosphere."

Xin Yunmao glanced at her with his peripheral vision, and his dark eyes seemed to be distracted, and soon focused on her face again.

Chu Zhishui saw him looking at her and asked, "What?"

"What are you talking about? How could I be afraid?" Xin Yunmao sneered, his tone was cold, and he said in a light voice, "I am different from ordinary people, you are afraid yourself."

Chu Zhishui did not answer, her eyes fell to his left hand, which was tightly holding the handle of the seat, and his fingers did not loosen for a moment.

He said the most cruel words, but he didn't dare to let go.

Chu Zhishui heard him trying to calm down. She had already burst into laughter in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She suppressed her mouth and said, "Yeah, I'm afraid, but the God is not."

Xin Yunmao was stunned when he heard this. He shrank his fingers and gave up the seat handle: "Then you hold it."

"No need, just hold it well." Chu Zhishui put his hand on the handle again, and pressed his fingers back without hesitation, restoring the five fingers to the state of clenched, for fear that he would really stop beating.

Her fingertips were warm, and her fingertips were soft and delicate. She slid across the slightly cool back of his hand and brought a hint of warmth. The temperature spread like water waves from the places it touched, distracting his attention and relieving his nervous tension.

She carefully bent his fingers back, but when he heard her words, he almost held her back.

I thought it was for him to hold her tightly.

He was a little surprised at first, and now a little lost, and finally a trace of regret.

Xin Yunmao only felt magma swirling in his chest, as if he was a volcano that had not yet erupted, and could only let the high heat evaporate in his body. He pursed his lips tightly, and this time he no longer looked forward, but turned his head to look out the window, looking at the gradually shrinking scenery below, to dispel the indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

He couldn't speak, just like a crack in the volcano, and the hot molten lava would burst out.

Chu Zhishui looked at him sideways and advised, "If you really feel uncomfortable, you can take a nap."

Chu Zhishui also noticed his abnormality. Xin Yunmao's body temperature was a little cooler, but his fingers tightly grasped the handle between the two sides, and from time to time they would touch her arm, and the exposed skin inexplicably felt a little hot.

He hesitated: "Yeah."

After a moment, the plane entered the stratosphere and there was no longer a bumpy feeling. Xin Yunmao's initial discomfort also disappeared, and he had the leisure to appreciate the light blue sky and thick clouds outside the small window.

Chu Zhishui sat on the aisle side and deliberately gave him the window seat because she thought he might be interested in the sky.

Xin Yunmao leaned his head against the window, looking out at the clear blue sky and the snow-white sea of ​​clouds. Huaijiang City below had long disappeared, and the ground was covered by white clouds like a huge curtain. For the first time, he had a deeper understanding of the world.

Far away from the vast earth where he could reach everywhere, it turned out that there was such a scene in the sky, but humans, birds and beasts could not usually stay there.

It was hard to imagine that this was done by humans without evil spirits.

"Human inventions are interesting." Xin Yunmao lowered his eyes, taking in the blue sky and light clouds, and his voice was very light when he said this.

Chu Zhishui caught these words clearly, and her heart softened, and she suddenly felt proud and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment."

He said it was interesting, and it was very interesting.

The almighty Fengshen monster said this, which should be a great affirmation of the human group.

It takes a long flight from Huaijiang to Danshan.

After Xin Yunmao finished watching the scenery outside the window, his attention was attracted by the small screen not far away. There are always some videos played in the cabin to help bored passengers pass the time. They are usually documentaries or introductions to Danshan. Today's video happened to be a plant documentary.

On the screen is a close-up shot of young buds breaking through the ground. The documentary connects many kinds of famous flowers through the four seasons, recording the beautiful moments of their growth and blooming, and introducing the rich literati meanings behind each famous flower. This documentary is well made and is said to have won many awards, so it often appears in various places.

The beautiful high-definition camera and elegant narration helped many viewers to better understand the various types of plants.

However, the more Xin Yunmao watched, the weirder his expression became. He frowned slightly and avoided looking, as if he couldn't bear to watch it. Unfortunately, the small screen was right in front of him. He could see the picture as long as he raised his eyes. He couldn't find a chance to avoid it.

Xin Yunmao finally couldn't sit still. He turned around and asked Chu Zhishui: "Why are you playing this?"

"To kill time for everyone?" Chu Zhishui raised her head and glanced at the screen. "Don't you like it? I've seen this one. There is indeed no bamboo in it, but you can watch it together."

She mistakenly thought that Xin Yunmao discovered that there was no bamboo in the documentary about famous plants in human history, and she began to feel indignant again, thinking that she was blind and wanted to ask for justice for herself.

Xin Yunmao looked at her in astonishment. He didn't expect that she had seen this movie, and he didn't expect that she would say there was no bamboo!

Xin Yunmao was deeply shocked by her nonchalant tone. He looked her up and down in surprise. He didn’t know what to say for a moment. He hesitated and said, "You are watching these in public..."

"You can only watch these in public, but you can't just watch these in public?"

He felt his ears burning. He questioned with a red face, "...Such filthy things?"

"Ah?" Chu Zhishui turned around to look at him in surprise, and then saw his face full of shame and anger. She felt like she was burned by fire. She was about to refute him loudly, but then she remembered that they were still in a public place, so she bit her teeth and lowered her voice, "What are you talking about? What kind of things!?"

How is this filthy! ?

This documentary has obviously been broadcast on CCTV, which is the most difficult TV station to pass the review!

Xin Yunmao felt particularly awkward, and he seemed to be annoyed to say this, and said in a muffled voice: "It's just pollination, and... in short, it's disgusting to watch!"

"???"

Chu Zhishui looked at the picture on the small screen, and then looked at Xin Yunmao's ever-changing expression. She finally realized at this moment that some of the shots in the documentary were no less stimulating than pornographic pictures to him.

Oh my God, what kind of obscene picture is plant pollination? Shouldn't the agricultural channel be completely emasculated!

Chu Zhishui didn't feel anything at first, and she didn't even have the time to watch the documentary, but now she understood his feelings, and she also felt a little uneasy. She just felt that the atmosphere was not right, especially when a man and a demon were side by side.

It was like humans going to a private cinema to watch a passionate scene, hormones instantly bursting through the table, and soon a charming and ambiguous feeling emerged.

But they were just watching a plant documentary! What was there to think about?

Embarrassment is contagious, and it must be said that Xin Yunmao succeeded, he passed his embarrassment to her.

Chu Zhishui's scalp was numb at this time, and she felt half of her body was cold and half of it was hot, and she was tortured by the cycle. She was a little restless now, and she once thought about whether she should use the excuse of going to the bathroom to break the hot and unbearable atmosphere, at least not to watch the plant demon porn with him.

She didn't dare look directly at Xin Yunmao. Her face was hot and her mouth was dry. She said dryly, "If you really can't help it, just close your eyes."

She couldn't ask the flight attendant to turn off the video. Others would think that they were both crazy.

Now that she was next to Xin Yunmao, she felt that half of her body was burning. Now she couldn't feel that his body temperature was high, mainly because their temperatures were both very high.

As her strange thoughts spread, all her senses became sharp. Not only did her body temperature exchange, she could even smell his faint scent. The freshness of the bamboo forest after the rain drifted in lightly, breaking through the dullness in the cabin, surrounding her intentionally or unintentionally, and piercing into her chaotic brain.

Xin Yunmao's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered something. His eyes darkened and he accused in a hoarse voice: "You played this for me late at night last time in the guesthouse." The last

time they stayed in the Yinhai Bureau guesthouse, she also found a plant documentary for him, but he didn't react at that time.

Chu Zhishui said shyly: "Don't look at me like a pervert!"
