one person's life

Chapter 198

On July [-]th, Tang Muzhi came out of the examination room of Guanxian Middle School alone. The hot sun passed through the mottled shadows of the trees. What greeted him were Tang Ming and Ye Kexin. This was Ye Kexin's first time out of Tang Muzhi after returning from Chuangpinggou. She has always disliked the scorching heat of the Sichuan Basin and the scorching sun in a martial arts school, even after her physical condition completely improved.

In later words, Ye Kexin was a complete homebody. In the past year, she lived in the sparsely populated Chuangpinggou area, weeding, farming, practicing medicine, collecting firewood for cooking, and maintaining flowers and plants with Qiu Laodao.Under her careful care, the simple wooden house originally built by Tang Muzhi can no longer smell the musty smell of wet wood. The fragrance of jasmine and the refreshing smell of herbs are mixed together. In the first half of the year, Tang Muzhi Mu Zhi meditates, falls asleep, and reads in this smell every day and night.

After practicing Liuku Immortal Thief, Ye Kexin's appetite has not diminished but increased. According to her, the flavor of the vitality of heaven and earth is hidden in the carefully prepared ingredients - this surprised Tang Muzhi, after all, he is also the inheritance of Liuku Immortal Thief. Moreover, even Barron, who had never eaten human beings, gradually became tired of ordinary food.The effects brought by the Liuku Immortal Thieves operate passively, and stimulating behaviors such as drinking strong alcohol and injecting anesthesia have no effect on them, let alone ordinary food.

Ye Kexin said that good food is the beginning of a good day.Her cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and her taste is no longer as bland as before. She also likes to study dishes, so she often travels to Li County, which is far away, to buy ingredients and condiments.Qiu Laodao didn't eat meat, so these delicacies were often cheaper than Tang Muzhi's.

While enjoying this kind of treatment, Tang Muzhi had no choice but to take the medicinal materials and utensils for refining foreign medicine elsewhere. Ruduoji helped him find a transparent cave in the nearby snowy mountains, because the foreign medicine for consumption was refined. It cannot be stored for a long time after being made. When Tang Muzhi practices Poison Kung Fu every Wednesday and Friday, he wakes up very early, eats the breakfast prepared by Ye Kexin, and walks more than ten kilometers across the snow-capped mountains to stay in the cave for the whole day.

Once a woman has strong energy, it is sometimes a scary thing, but sometimes it is also a pleasing thing.Ye Kexin learned to dress herself up—perhaps she knew how to dress up from the beginning. When she was sick, she used a coat or a loose robe to cover up her tall but slender figure. After the Liuku Immortal Thief adjusted her system, she went to No. .18 At the gate of middle school, she tied a low ponytail with a bow. She wore a red and white baseball shirt on her upper body, a shallow V-shaped neckline that revealed her charming collarbone, and slim-fitting jeans and white shoes on her lower body.

Tang Muzhi remembered that Tang Ming and his wife owned a clothing factory that was in excellent condition. It occurred to her that she had no shortage of clothes to dress up. No longer her original tranquility and melancholy, today's Ye Kexin was chic and neat, full of girlish vitality.

She leaned lightly on Tang Ming's Audi car and stood tall, attracting countless candidates who had finished the college entrance examination.

Fortunately, it was still early for Tang Muzhi to leave school, so he would not attract frivolous teasing. These days, college entrance examination candidates are a bit older, and with the end of his depressing and heavy studies, it was the time when his hormones broke out. Tang Muzhi walked into the Audi car. When I saw him, I clearly felt several jealous eyes behind me.

"Hey, Brother Ming, you made a special trip to be the driver. You said no, you'll be there in a short walk."

"Haha, beauty in the car, doesn't this make you famous in front of others... How did you do in the exam? Didn't it bother you that we watched the World Cup together last night?" Tang Ming started the ignition and asked with a smile.

The World Cup in France on the [-]th of last month was hailed as the most classic World Cup by future generations.Tang Muzhi had been rushing to Pingggou without watching. Taking advantage of the past few days of the county college entrance examination, Tang Muzhi had a great time watching it at Tang Ming's house. It was really exciting for Croatia to reach the semi-finals as a dark horse two days ago.

"The first choice should be able to get in." Tang Muzhi said casually.

"That's fine. You're going to enlist in the army soon anyway. It doesn't matter if your student status is in Jiangcheng or Rongcheng."

Ye Kexin said: "It's rare to come out. Brother-in-law, can you send us to Rongcheng?"

Tang Ming said with a smile: "Okay, but I won't go. Mu Zhi, you drive there by yourself - by the way, remember to come back in the evening, everyone is ready to celebrate your success."

Tang Ming winked at the rearview mirror and got out of the car near Tangmen.

"..." Tang Muzhi blinked his eyes at Ye Kexin, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Ye Kexin smiled and said, "Actually, it was senior Ruan Feng who contacted me. I don't know how he is now in the past few days."

"So it's like this...he can use the phone now?"

"Well, it was given to me last time when he came to Chuangpinggou. Senior Ruan Feng adapts very quickly. By the way, it's the cave entrance last time." Ye Kexin's eyes were a little playful, "It was you who pushed me The one who goes down.”

"I know, I know, haha." Tang Muzhi smiled.

"By the way, this is your phone number." Ye Kexin handed him the Nokia 8110, the same model as The Matrix. "As soon as you left Chuangpinggou, Lu Yi's call came in. He wanted to ask which school you applied to. Woolen cloth."

"I just remembered it at this time... I guess Mr. Lu wanted to ask me." Tang Muzhi took the phone and dialed Lu Jin directly. A few months ago, Lu Yi asked him if he wanted to come to Hebei to study. Tang Muzhi said he wanted to join the army. After telling him what happened, Lu Jin must have known about it.

"Hello?" Lu Jin's voice sounded distorted from the other end of the phone.

"Master Lu, it's me, Tang Muzhi. Are you not busy after taking office as 'Lao'?"

"Humph... So it's you! Don't mention anything else. Are you done with the exam? I just have something to ask you."

"Well, it's over. Everything went well. I'm applying for Jiangcheng University."

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't come to Hebei. The universities here aren't very good anyway. I'm asking about your enlistment in the army. My Lu family, among other things, has never fallen behind when it comes to serving the country. With you, Half of the children of your generation have gone to the army, and there are them all over the country. Although they are not doing well, they can still help you. After the training camp, you look after each other, and the people in the circle have different feelings. There are many rules in the way of survival, so you should pay more attention.”

"That's for sure." Tang Muzhi nodded, and Lu Jin continued: "By the way, there are a lot of floods this year, and the situation is getting worse. If you enlist in the army at this time, you may be on the flood front line soon. You need to pay more attention to safety. This is a natural disaster and a man-made disaster. We are no different from ordinary people before the flood!"

Tang Muzhi agreed, waited for Lu Jin to hang up the phone, and then said to Ye Kexin: "Everyone says this is a taboo thing, but from what Mr. Lu means, he knows where I am assigned, and the relationship is quite strong. .”

"Oh...Master Lu is not a person who keeps his words hidden, and he hasn't said anything yet, how did you hear it?" Ye Kexin asked suspiciously.

"Just like our door manager, many of the older generation don't like talking about business on the phone and put down the phone very quickly."

When it comes to floods, Tang Muzhi feels a little heavy. The 20 flood was a major flood that included the Yangtze River, Nenjiang River, Songhua River and other river basins. It was the third basin-wide catastrophic flood that occurred in the [-]th century. He said This is still fresh in his memory. During this period, countless heroic deeds of epic proportions emerged, and a large number of shoddy projects and shoddy projects were exposed... Not to mention, he was going to face it in person soon anyway.Tang Muzhi drove for more than two hours and got off the car near a forest [-] kilometers away from Rongcheng. In the cold winter last year, he was the one who coaxed Ye Kexin to come here, in a dark cave. She was starved for ten days.

This place is very remote. I guess I heard the sound of a car, and Ruan Feng's slightly bloated figure appeared in the forest.

Compared with the last time I saw him, Ruan Feng was a little fatter and a lot taller.But his clothes were neat and tidy, and he was in good spirits. He still didn't smell at all, but when Tang Muzhi looked over, he could already feel some dangerous aura - this was an early warning from his sharp five senses. Even if Tang Muzhi and He has a lot of experience in human combat, but strictly speaking, this is the second time he has encountered this situation after Lu Gu.

"Ha! You just came, you asked me to wait."

Ruan Feng seems to have lived here for a while, and there are some obvious traces of life behind him.Even after he started eating people, he rarely lived close to places where people gathered. Of course, he would also be hungry sometimes.

Depraved, but not completely depraved, this is Ruan Feng's current situation.

However, Tang Muzhi still believed in Ruan Feng's character. If he really couldn't restrain himself from attacking innocent people, he would have gone to the ends of the earth by himself.

"Senior Ruan Feng..." Tang Muzhi's expression was a little solemn.Ye Kexin has been controlling the Immortal Thief of Liuku for half a year. During this period, Ruan Feng came to Chuangpinggou and met her several times.

According to Ruan Feng, Ye Kexin has been in contact with Qiu Laodao and him for a long time, and now she should have almost realized her inner desires, but she should still be in a state of self-doubt.

"Don't get too close to me, just sit there and talk." Ruan Feng waved his hand and said mockingly: "I'm afraid that I will suddenly get tired of living, and I can't help but seek death and attack you two directly."

Seeing that Tang Muzhi and Ye Kexin were both silent, Ruan Feng snorted, "Old man, I'm not having a good time, so I came here to chat with you two. Don't be so lifeless. Bring me the chessboard! By the way - Tang Muzhi, I heard you went to take the college entrance examination?"

"Yes." Tang Muzhi moved a tree stump for Ye Kexin to sit down, and explained to Ruan Feng what the college entrance examination was.

"Oh, I remembered. I know this. Didn't they say it was cancelled? We have seen similar systems abroad. It's similar to those with certificates and grades. After the exam, you still have to go to university."

It’s not that easy for Tang Muzhi. If I remember correctly, there were more than 300 million people taking the college entrance examination this year. In the end, only 30.00 million were admitted. The average admission rate was only [-]%. Compared with later generations and current developed countries, , the proportion of people with higher education is much lower.

"By the way, Xiao Kexin, you are a little older than Tang Muzhi, right? Why don't you go to school?" Ruan Feng moved a stone slab and spread the plastic chessboard on it.

Ye Kexin opened the Go box and said: "I didn't have this plan before. Now thanks to the Immortal Thief Liuku, I still have so many days to live. Just take your time and don't rush."

"Also, Tang Muzhi has a photographic memory. He can memorize those textbooks after reading them. I can't compare with him. He has to do farm work and cook vegetables in Chuangpinggou. If he continues like this, he may not be able to pass the exam next year. ." Ye Kexin dropped the first seed.

"..." Ruan Feng pursed his lips, hesitated, and said with some hesitation: "Girl, you know this is not harming you. Chuang Ping Gou is a good place, and you can live there peacefully in the future."

This made the words clear. Ye Kexin was silent for a moment and said, "Is it because of practicing Liuku Immortal Thief?"

Ruan Feng nodded, "You should also tell me your true feelings for more than half a year. This is a problem you will have to face sooner or later."

Ye Kexin frowned and looked at Tang Muzhi.

"I can't remember the time clearly. That day, when Mu Zhi was away practicing the Poison Kung Fu, Grandpa Qiu and I went to give acupuncture treatment to a little Tibetan girl. Suddenly, there was a throbbing in my heart, and body fluids couldn't help but flow down. "Ye Kexin stretched out her index finger and circled her right cheek, her throat moved slightly, "The feeling was very clear, it was appetite. I didn't feel right, so I made an excuse and went back first."

Ruan Feng was waiting for the next article, but Ye Kexin didn't speak for a long time. He was surprised and said: "No more?"

Ye Kexin didn't understand why and said: "Well...is there something wrong?"

Ruan Feng stroked his chin, stared straight at Ye Kexin, and said with some hesitation: "If there is only this level, it will be surprising."

Ye Kexin said: "The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage. After the Liuku Immortal Thief automatically cured my impotence, the most intuitive feeling was that my body had unprecedented energy. I thought that my life would be very long—— It turns out that these are the Eight Wonders, the Eight Wonders that once made everyone in the world crazy. But immortality is impossible without paying a price, right? When you and Tang Muzhi set up the test, I had some vague guesses. "

"Later, what happened to the little girl also confirmed this: the Immortal Thief of Liuku will make people have the physiological urge to devour the same kind of people."

"No, that's not right." Ruan Feng frowned and interrupted Ye Kexin's speech, "It's not the urge to devour the same kind. Have you ever seen an elf?"

Ye Kexin was stunned and replied that she had never seen it.

"Although I understood this truth when eating was tasteless before, elves are a good example. If you have an appetite for people, then the same should be true for elves. This is because the Liuku fairy will help us instantly decompose This leads to a higher level of energy we absorb, so we will gradually lose our desire for ordinary nutrients, and instead have the idea of ​​leaping to a higher level—that is, human beings or creatures that get qi.”

　Chapter 198 is very reasonable in 1998, right?
