Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 171 Mystery
Meng Zhen and Lei Ao walked carefully through the field of flowers on the other side, and came to the outside of a small farmyard.Faintly, she seemed to hear Xiong Xiong's "barking" sound, which made her even more certain that Xiong Xiong might be nearby.

"Aw~~" Xiong Xiong is here.

Lei Ao's sensing ability is better than Meng Zhen's, it said with certainty.

"Well, it should be here," Meng Zhen nodded. Ever since she entered this valley, she felt that something was wrong. She couldn't tell the specific reason. The flowers in the valley bloomed beautifully and the trees grew lushly, but she felt that it was very abnormal. : "Lei Ao, have you noticed anything unusual?"

She didn't rush into the small courtyard, but kept looking around.This is the hinterland of the deep mountains, surrounded by high mountains on three sides, and the lush forests on the mountains almost cover half of the valley.If placed in wartime, this is definitely the best refuge.Because the valley is surrounded by mountains, it stands to reason that the temperature here should be lower than outside, but Meng Zhen found that this is not the case.

"Lei Ao, look, there is actually Guangxi Huotong here. My God, this is a plant that is on the verge of extinction in China. It is said that there are only three plants in the country, but they all grow in the lower part of the limestone mountain or on the gentle slope. How could it appear in this strange place?" in the valley?"

Meng Zhen looked in surprise at a green leafy plant planted at the foot of the mountain in the west. This plant is even more national treasure than giant pandas. She had only seen pictures on the Internet, but she never expected to see a living one.

"Oh~~~" There are fruit trees here.

Lei Ao also walked around the valley slowly, he almost grew up in the manor, he has seen all the fruit trees planted by Meng Zhen, so it is quite strange to see the same fruit trees here.

"Well, it's cherries and figs, oh, and apple trees." Meng Zhen also walked to Lei Ao's side, carefully identifying some fruit trees that haven't bloomed yet. After a year of planting, Meng Zhen is no longer a gardener. She can accurately distinguish the species from the leaves, "It's not unusual to have fruit trees, but it seems that these trees have not been carefully cared for, as if they were randomly dropped a seed and grew up!"

It's a bit like how she was at the beginning, but she relies on the manor, so she doesn't pay much attention to this aspect.And the owner here should not have a manor, the only reason for doing so should be that it doesn't matter.

"Aw!" There was also a tea tree.

Meng Zhen also found out that although she had never seen the tea tree in front of her, she was sure that the inconspicuous little tree in front of her should be a pure wild tea tree. She picked a bud and put it in her mouth. Bitter, a little astringent, if it is roasted, it is definitely a good tea.

The more she looked at it, the more strange it became. Every plant here is not unusual, of course, except for the Guangxi fire tree, but why it makes her feel very abnormal when they are put together.

"Aw!!" Dangerous.

Lei Ao roared in a low voice, its gaze fixed on the crescent moon pond in front of the small courtyard.

"What's the matter, Lei Ao, what did you find?"

The last time Meng Zhen heard Lei Ao yelling this was when he found Hua Hua, could it be that there is also a giant python here.

She rushed over quickly, and saw that the clear pond seemed to surround an exquisite small courtyard, and there was only a wooden board connecting the outside and the entrance of the small courtyard.When Meng Zhen looked at the pond, he found a piece of dead wood inside, but this piece of dead wood could move.

"Crocodiles!!" No, there are crocodiles here? !
Meng Zhen finally knew why she felt something was wrong. Yes, the plants here are not unusual, almost all of them are found in her manor, but what cannot be ignored is that these plants are not from the same place, they have their own living environment.

The reason why Meng Zhen can grow southern fruits in the north is because she has a manor, but although the climate here is very good, it is not suitable for all plants to grow.

"Is anyone there?" Meng Zhen felt that this place was too weird, she couldn't stay longer, so she found Xiong Xiong and left quickly: "Xiong Xiong, is Xiong Xiong here!!"

"Aw~uh~"

Xiong Xiong didn't answer, and a gray figure jumped down from the other side of the mountain.

"Aw!" It was a wolf.

Without Lei Ao's reminder, Meng Zhen also knows what the animal with gleaming white teeth is. Although Xiong Xiong looks very much like a wolf, the natural aura of a wolf cannot be compared to a wolf dog.

For animals like wolves, Meng Zhen still admires them quite a lot. It is said that wolves are very loyal to their partners and have only one partner in their life. Moreover, wolves are very united and tenacious. When she was in college, she especially liked reading novels about wolves. .

Appreciation is one thing, though, and it's quite another to face real wolves who have been visibly unkind.

Lei Ao is worthy of being the best Tibetan Mastiff, he rushed up first and confronted the wolf.

"Aw~~" "Aw~~"

In an instant, a wolf and a dog fought together.

"Lei Ao, be careful!"

Meng Zhen looked at them nervously, and was ready to drag Lei Ao into the manor if the situation went wrong.

This is, the people in the yard came out.

"Second Hui, stop!"

He is an old man in his 60s, not very tall, with a pair of slender eyes on his thin face, which is particularly energetic.When he saw Meng Zhen, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. Seeing that his wolf and the dog had bitten into a ball, he loudly returned the wolf.

"Lei Ao, are you okay?"

The wolf and Lei Ao stopped, the wolf's neck was bitten by Lei Ao, but Lei Ao was also injured, and blood oozed from its legs.

"Oh!" It's okay.

The old man reached out and touched the wolf's neck, then waved it into the house to heal his wounds.In a blink of an eye, he saw Meng Zhen hugging the brave Tibetan mastiff lovingly, "Little girl, your dog is not bad, it can compete with my wolf!"

Because of the presence of outsiders, Meng Zhen resisted the urge to take out the red fruit from the manor to heal Lei Ao, she looked up at the master: "Mr. Here it is, so I just came to look for it. Excuse me, have you ever seen a black-backed wolfhound?"

"Wolfdogs?! Hehe, I have all kinds of animals here, but there are no wolfdogs. But, little girl, since you can pass through my 'fire of hell', you should not be an ordinary person. Everyone who comes is a guest. Come in for a cup of tea. Bar!"

"You didn't see Xiong Xiong," Meng Zhen was a little disbelieving. Seeing the interaction between the old man and the wolf just now, she was sure that the person in front of her was not an ordinary person.Ordinary people would not get Guangxi Huotong, nor would they keep crocodiles and wolves as pets.Hearing the old man beckoning her to go in, she hesitated for a moment, "Hehe, okay, old man, your place is really a paradise. There are all kinds of rare plants and animals. If you don't bother me, I want to chat with you more!"

"Tch, I've already interrupted you and still say polite words!"

Just now at Taniguchi, I saw Meng Zhen's little boy applying medicine to the wolf's neck. He rolled his eyes when he heard Meng Zhen's words - or grandpa was right, people outside are so hypocritical.

"Hehe. Come in!"

The old man made a gesture of invitation, but Meng Zhen was not polite. She stepped on the plank carefully, not looking at the "dead wood" in the pond, and tremblingly walked into the small yard.

The yard is not big, only about [-] square meters. There are no flowers and plants in it, only three or two rows of medicinal materials.When Meng Zhen got Ganoderma lucidum by accident, he also planned to grow herbal medicine, and even checked some information on this aspect, but because there were many things at hand, he hadn't started it yet.

Although it wasn't planted, she could still tell the difference between vegetables and herbs.

"Old man, how many wolves do you have here?"

"Three horses, well, they're all old, otherwise how can a dog bully them?"

Meng Zhen first took out a handkerchief to wrap Lei Ao's injured leg, the old man sat in the porch outside the house, he didn't know whether he was lamenting the wolf's injury or his own old age, he let out a long sigh.

"What about the other wolves?"

Meng Zhen was thinking about Xiong Xiong, it disappeared after chasing wolves last night, if it wasn't the one in front of him, could it be other wolves kept by the old man? !
"Dahui and Sanhui should be in the forest, girl, you are not from the local area, are you?"

The old man seemed to be hiding something, always refusing to answer Meng Zhen's words.

"Well, I'm from Province S, and I'm here for tourism and adventure. Old man, from your accent, you're not a local, are you?"

He speaks standard Mandarin. According to his age and living in the mountains and forests, if he is a local, he cannot speak Mandarin.Even Meng Zhen himself speaks his native dialect when he is at home or talking to his father.

"Me, hehe, of course not, I came here more than ten years ago, girl, if I'm not wrong, you should have a mysterious space, right?"

The old man's sophisticated old eyes glanced at Meng Zhen's wrist. Because of his travel, Meng Zhen has been wearing loose and casual clothes for the past few days. The wide cuffs reveal his white wrist with a twist-like dark pattern on it.If you don't look carefully, you may think it is a birthmark. If you have ulterior motives, you can naturally see that the dark lines are unusual.

"Mysterious space?" Meng Zhen was taken aback, how did he see it.This is not a fantasy novel. Some well-versed mages can see a person possessed by a soul. Whether she has a mysterious space written on her face or not is impossible for others to know.

"Hey, old man, what mysterious space, do you mean your Xanadu?"

Meng Zhen is not a fool, she will not be intimidated by others with just a few words, although she is surprised in her heart, she still has an expression on her face that she doesn't understand what you are saying.

"Hehe, girl, don't talk about him, you should understand what I mean." The old man took a sip of tea, and he smiled faintly, "You can also rest assured that I will not try anything against you, I just want to Confirm my guess."

Seeing that Meng Zhen wanted to deny it, the old man continued: "Don't shake your head in a hurry, my guess is not unfounded. Before you come in, you should have seen the wooden sign erected at the entrance of my valley. It's not to scare people. It's The Bianhua flowers I planted are not ordinary flowers, but specially cultivated, and it is impossible to cross safely without special skills!"

After hearing what the old man said, Meng Zhen took out a cloth bag from his pocket, "Mr., this is the medicine bag that the local tour guide gave me. I can come in because of its function!"

The old man didn't look at her cloth bag, and whistled directly: "Oh, it seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin, it should be the dog you are looking for, right?"

Meng Zhen turned around and saw a wolf running in from the outside, followed by the missing raging bear...
