Liu Geyang hung up and happily put his phone in his pocket. Turning around, he was suddenly met with a wrinkled, elderly face, smiling back at him. The two faces were so close, almost touching, that Liu Geyang was so frightened that he quickly took a step back and muttered, "Oh my god!"
Yamada Chiizumi was smiling, and with his bald head, he looked a bit like a high monk.
"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry for scaring you!"
"Uh... Hi, it's okay, Professor Yamada, why didn't you go find the colorful-armed beetle?"
"I'm old and my legs aren't very agile, so I'd better let the students do it for me!"
Liu Geyang complained in his heart: Looking at the speed you climbed the slope just now, it was faster than mine, and your legs are still not agile. When you are agile, can you fly into the sky?
"Liu Jun, were you calling your girlfriend just now?"
Liu Geyang smiled sweetly and denied it hesitantly: "What girlfriend? It's not—! My sister!"
"Oh, so that's how it is. I saw that Mr. Liu was smiling and looked very happy when he was on the phone. I thought you were chatting with your girlfriend! Sorry for the offense!" After saying that, Yamada Chiquan bowed to Liu Geyang, which made Liu Geyang feel embarrassed. The Chinese tradition is to respect the elderly and love the young, and he was very upset to have an old man bow to him.
"Oh, no, no, no, please don't be so polite. Bowing is not a custom in China anymore!"
Yamada Zhiquan seemed to be in the mood for conversation and kept on talking. "I think Liu Jun and your sister must have a very good relationship. Your sister is a gentle and beautiful girl, right?"
"Not so good at all!" When talking about "old sister", Liu Geyang was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and he couldn't control his mouth.
"My sister is so pretty... I'm telling you... blah blah..."
So, with a series of questions and answers, it didn't take much effort for Yamada Zhiquan to find out Chen Qingshan's life and address. However, Liu Geyang had no idea how much information he had leaked, and was still praising his sister's superb medical skills.
Niu Zaizhao, carrying two backpacks, sat on a large rock, his head bent, struggling with the weeds beneath his feet. After waiting for nearly half an hour, Liu Geyang still hadn't returned. Niu Zaizhao felt annoyed: "He's been so affectionate for so long just to talk on the phone, and he still says nothing happened with his sister?" She looked up in Liu Geyang's direction and saw that Professor Yamada, who had been standing at the highest point of Fengyu Slope, had come down at some point and was talking to Liu Geyang. This frightened Niu Zaizhao out of her wits.
The place where Niu Zaizhao was sitting was exactly the midpoint of the line connecting the positions of Liu Geyang and Yamada Zhiquan. Although she was pulling weeds with her head down, her ears were not deaf. If someone passed by, she would not have failed to notice it. How did Yamada Zhiquan pass by her and get to Liu Geyang?
Niu Zaizhao picked up a backpack in each hand and strode over to Liu Geyang and Yamada Zhiquan, just in time to hear Liu Geyang say, "My sister can even cure children born with deafness." Niu Zaizhao coughed loudly, and Liu Geyang's voice stopped abruptly. His expression seemed a little unnatural, as if he had been caught doing something bad. Yamada Zhiquan still had an overly enthusiastic smile on his face, his teeth showing but his eyes not.
"Liu Geyang, it's getting late, let's go find the Colorful Arm Golden Turtle!"
"...Well, Professor Yamada, we're going to catch some bugs. You can just rest here!"
Yamada Chiquan bowed and nodded as he sent Liu Geyang and Niu Zaizhao away. Looking at their figures disappearing into the dense forest, a sinister sneer appeared on his face.
