《Origin》 Ch. 1 - Security guard’s lewd behavior One day in June, late at night, Huangxian High School --outside the security room."Bro, please make the call for me, I''m really in a hurry." The girl, who was eighteen or nineteen, with a delicate appearance and an eager expression, requested. The security guard who focused on the TV didn''t care to look back as he refused, "It''s eleven o''clock, and the dormitory is closed. You can come back tomorrow." Hearing his reply, the girl became anxious and continued to plead, "Bro, it won''t work. It will be too late tomorrow. Please do me a favor, make the call, will you?" "Why should I help you?" The security guard turned his head and looked at the girl with a smile. Seeing the guard''s wretched smile, the girl timidly picked up the plastic bag on the ground, turned and walked away. The security guard stuck his head out of a window, stretched his neck and stared at the girl''s back, his eyes filthy coveted. Not long after, the security guard turned his gaze back to the TV, a girl''s shout came from outside the west wall of the school, "Wu Zhongyuan, Wu Zhongyuan..." The night was silent, and the girl shouted so loud that her voice traveled far. "Hey, hey, yelling in the middle of the night, where are your manners?" The security guard heard the shouts, eagerly took a rubber stick and ran out to drive her away. "Don''t get any closer, GET!" Seeing the security guard getting closer, the girl could only run further as she continued to shout, "Wu Zhongyuan, something happened at home, come out NOW." The girl ran fastly as the security guard chased after her. How could a woman outrun a man? Even before she could escape, the security guard caught up with the girl and took advantage of the opportunity to grope her, "Don''t shout. It will affect the rest of the students..." "Let me go! what are you doing?" The girl was embarrassed and angry, struggling to get away from the man. It''s a rare opportunity to call the groping a " security procedure", After all, it was part of his job, so he won''t let this chance slip out, and the security guard crawled his hands all over her body. The girl was anxious and angry, shouting louder as she struggled to move away. After a few shouts, the girl stopped, looking at the men''s side. Noticing something was different, the security guard also turned his head, but when he did, he found a fist flying toward him. Before he could react, a direct blow hit his face. The punch was from a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy who was not so tall and looked very thin. After knocking the security guard down, he ignored the lewd man and walked quickly toward the girl, "Huang Ping, what happened?" "It''s the forced eviction. That Thing!" Huang Ping wiped the sweat with her hands, "You two never returned to sign the paper, delaying other people''s construction schedule, and now, the group of the investors of the new resort reported you." 1 "We didn''t break the law, then why did they report us?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. At this time, the security guard who got beaten had come to his senses. Seeing the nosebleeds, he was so angry that he covered his face with one hand and held a stick with the other, and rushed up to thrash them. Even before he could get any closer, Wu Zhongyuan raised his right foot and kicked the guard down again, "Get out of the way." The security guard was beaten, bleeding, and had no strength, so he didn''t dare to continue to fight back. He panickingly got up and retreated further away, but he was cowardly and didn''t keep his mouth shut as he ran. "I knew your name. Your name is Wu Zhongyuan, isn''t it? You just wait!" "HA, so proud to be a pervert, jerk." The boy snorted and turned to face the girl. "Ping, on what basis did the investors report us?" "I will call the police." The security guard shouted from a distance. Wu Zhongyuan ignored him and looked at Huang Ping as he waited for her reply. Huang Ping raised her hand to wipe the sweat and began to explain. "I don''t know how those people found out that your Taoist master was buried there, but they reported it. When I went out for a walk in the village in the evening, I saw an excavator at the foot of the mountain. So I went and asked the driver. He said it was sent by the town''s authorities to dig out the grave in the mountain and cremate the body at dawn." As soon as Huang Ping finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan gasped, "Really?" Huang Ping nodded, "Yes. It''s what the driver said, and they also found out that you haven''t moved out since your master''s grave is next to your house. This time, they wanted to go straight to the point, dug the grave, so you will leave the mountain since there is nothing left for you to hold on to." Wu Zhongyuan looked up at the sky and then stated, "Okay, thank you, you go back home quickly. I will go back to the village to see what I can do." "It''s late. The bus service might have stopped," Huang Ping put down the plastic bag in her hand, took out a hundred yuan bill from her purse then handed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "This is for you. Take a taxi back, it''s more than a hundred miles away. I know this money may not be enough, but it is impossible to return to the town at this late hour." "No, I have money." Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, turned and walked away, "Come, I will walk you to a place with street lights." Huang Ping picked up the plastic bag, quickly walked to catch up with Wu Zhongyuan, and handed the hundred dollar bill to him, "You can take it." "No, I really don''t need it," Wu Zhongyuan declined as he had a glimpse at the school, then he turned his way and continued to move forward. "Don''t you need to ask for leave?" Huang Ping asked. "It''s so late. Whom should I report to?" Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. "Okay." Huang Ping agreed as she followed him. "The street lights will go out at twelve pm. Don''t look for a public phone outside. It''s not safe. Go back to the factory and borrow someone else''s phone to call him." Wu Zhongyuan urged. "Okay." Huang Ping agreed again. s?a??h th?

"It''s the same old problem, and he remains the same." Huang Ping replied. "What about your silly symptoms brother? Has he been in trouble recently?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again. Hearing his question Huang Ping''s mood went even lower, "He was not. But a few days ago, someone pushed him into the pond in the west of the village, and he almost drowned to death. When I asked him who did it, he couldn''t tell. My father was afraid that he would run away and cause an accident. So, dad tied him to the grinding plate." "That won''t solve anything," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, and then asked again, "By the way, how are you and my brother lately?" "It''s still like that," Huang Ping sighed, "Qingming went to highschool. I haven''t graduated from elementary school yet, so we don''t talk that often." "He didn''t talk much." Wu Zhongyuan was relieved, Huang Ping was beautiful, and kind. It''s a pity that her family is poor, has less time to study, and has no chance of higher education. Although she likes his senior brother Lin Qingming and that guy has always looked down on her. Huang Ping lowered her head and said nothing. A few minutes later, at the intersection, Wu Zhongyuan decided to continue to go south, and Huang Ping was going to turn east. "I have pancakes here. Take some with you." Huang Ping lifted the plastic bag in her right hand and offered. "No, I''m not hungry, you go back home quickly." Wu Zhongyuan waved at Huang Ping and ran to the south. Half an hour later, Wu Zhongyuan arrived in the south of Decheng and sat down on the side of the road. He had no money and could not get a taxi, so he could only hitch hike. After a while, a truck carrying muck came near him. Looking around, there was no one but him. Wu Zhongyuan ran a few steps, jumped and landed on top of the truck, He found a place on the muck and sat down. The carriage of this truck is more than three meters high, and he did all these stunts while it''s still moving- what he did is naturally impossible for ordinary people, and the reason why Wu Zhongyuan can do it is that he knows kung fu. When it comes to kung fu, we have to start with the master, His master was originally a non-sect Taoist priest. When he got older and could no longer travel from town to town, he settled down in Huangjia Village. Wu Zhongyuan, who turned eighteen this year, and his senior brother Lin Qingming is three years older than him, were orphans adopted by their master in his later years. When the master was alive, the three of them lived on the mountain on the east of the village. The abandoned old house that used to be a water pumping station long ago, was bought by the Master as a residence. Although the Master was a Taoist priest, he rarely wore Taoist robes, and none of the town residents knew that he was a Taoist priest. He was also very low-key in his daily life. Master knew two styles of kung fu, hard kung fu and light kung fu. The Master taught every skill he knew to Wu Zhongyuan and his brother. These two types of kung fu are similar to what the world already knew. Hard kung fu means circulating inner energy of a person by enduring extreme exercise, enlarging the force one can excel. And the myth of blocking sword and bullet hits? That''s impossible! As the name suggests, light kung fu -Qinggong is a way of circulating inner energy to lighten one''s body. The person can jump high over the eaves and walls, but everything has its limitations. Even if you practice Qinggong to the extreme, you will fall to your death if you jump from the top of a high building. The kung fu they learned is not mysterious or secret, but the Master sternly admonished the two brothers not to reveal their kung fu at will. Once revealing their kung fu at will, it could easily bring disaster to them. Besides these two kung fu styles, Master also knew how to draw talismans and do feng shui, but these two haven''t taught them. The two brothers were very interested in these, and they once pestered the Master to ask for advice, but the Master firmly refused to teach them. And the reason, Master only said that these are all feudal superstitions, and it is enough for them to learn martial arts to strengthen one''s health Well, quoting that feudal superstitions can never be learned, Five years ago, the Master died. Before he died, he chose the spot for his grave not so far from the house. Master always obeyed the human law before his death. After death, he had to be cremated, but instead he secretly built a coffin and asked the two brothers to bury him in secret. Since he exercised Tao cultivation for a lifetime, no matter what, he had to leave a whole corpse in the ground. Wu Zhongyuan thought about this back on top of the truck. There are state laws that strictly instruct people to follow cremation by the law, and every citizen must abide by them. Now, this matter has been exposed and is being watched by the authorities, it''s hopeless to fight the system. But the Master had poured his heart brought up two of them, and the old man''s last wish must be fulfilled by them no matter what. He cannot let the Master die without fulfilling his wish. After thinking about it, the only feasible way was to rebury the Master somewhere else in secret. Although, it is disrespectful to dig the coffin out from the ground, it is better than axing the coffin and burning the corpse. Halfway through, the muck truck turned, Wu Zhongyuan jumped out of the truck, and waited for minutes from the side of the road until another large truck came. Nine out of ten large trucks on the road at night were overloaded and could not run fast, so he jumped up and took another ride and another until he reached the town. It was already four o''clock when he arrived, since there was no car to take and he had to run. When he returned to the village around five o''clock, he found an excavator parked under the east hill. Looking around and found there was no one around, he jumped into the excavator, unscrewed the fuel tank cap, took a few grains of sand from the ground and sprinkled it in, then screwed the cap back on. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, went back into the excavator again, and wiped the cover with his sleeve. If this big guy breaks down, it will cost a lot of money to repair it. He can''t afford to pay, so he should not leave any fingerprints. After all this, he went up the mountain. At first, he wanted to get into his home. But after thinking about it, he dropped the idea. He picked a few apricots behind the house and hid in the woods. Ch. 2 - Man With The Big Gold Chain There was dew on the grass, and it was too wet to stay. So, Wu Zhongyuan could only jump on the tree, hide behind the branches and leaves, and observe from a high position. From here, he could clearly see everything from the mountain''s foot. Even though it wasn''t the season, and the apricots were not fully ripe yet, they had the same flavor as in the memory. The apricot tree was planted by the Master when he was alive. It is more than 20 years old, and they have picked fruits every year since he can remember. It is inevitable to be sad when looking at the tree. The apricot tree stands there, but the Master who planted the apricot tree has been gone for many years.In all fairness, he doesn''t quite believe that there are spirits after people die because he has never seen a ghost while living with the Master. The Master is already dead, and the Master should also not know what is going on right now. No matter what he does, the Master won''t know. However, in this condition, he made up his mind to keep the body of the Master whole. Not to satisfy the Master in heaven, but only for the sake of complete filial piety and a clear conscience. Most basic life skills were taught by the Master before his death, except the feudal superstitions, such as the practice of drawing talismans and doing feng shui. One of the skills was to determine the time according to the sun and stars, And the delay was no more than ten minutes before and after. Three cars came near the mountain around 6:30 am. In the front was a white Toyota jeep. This kind of car is standard equipment for the foreman and village chief in the north, and there were two mini buses in the back. A group of people came out as soon as the cars stopped. They were not workers but ruffians. They were topless early in the morning and showed off fancy tattoos on their bodies and large gold chains around their necks. As long as it was sparkly yellow, who cares if the gold were real or not anyway. The excavator driver was also out of the car, and he then started the excavator and drove up to the mountain, followed by twenty or so men with golden chains that were so awesome. Watching the twinkle twinkle blink in the waves of tattoos, Wu Zhongyuan was a little puzzled. The violation of funeral regulations should be handled by the town and the civil affairs department. Why did a group of hooligans come instead of government officials? It''s not even 8:30 am, and the people who got paid by the government are not at work yet. This group of people is definitely not sent from the upper level. Besides the people sent from the upper level, there should be law enforcement agencies, not ruffians. Obviously, those men in gold chains were summoned by the developer. The location of the old house is at most two miles away from the foot of a hill rather than a mountain, and the terrain is not very high. Wu Zhongyuan was a little anxious seeing the excavator getting closer and closer. This big guy is really durable. Even though he poured so much sand into the fuel tank, it kept running. However, it broke when it was not more than 30 meters away from the house, and the big guy finally stopped. The driver got down to check and found that the fuel tank cap was unscrewed before, and the fuel gauge showed that the fuel was not low. It meant someone was not trying to steal the fuel, but deliberately destroyed it. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a beach shirt, with a long fat oily face, and a head with big ears. When the excavator stopped, he didn''t behave like those men with golden chains who kept scolding and calling names. He slowly took out a cell phone, made a call, and asked someone to send another excavator over. "Director Qian in the village works with us. With him around, no one dares to make trouble in the village." One of the men with big golden chains pointed to the old house and said, "It must be the two bastards of this family who did it." The fat man frowned when he heard it, then he looked at the person and said, "How many times have I told you to pay attention to your manners? They are orphans adopted by the old man, not bastards." The man nodded and smiled again and again, "Yes, manners, Big Brother Sun said is right. The two orphans must have done this." The fat man with the beach shirt shook his head, "It shouldn''t be. By the way, Director Qian, the two boys in this family are Lin Qingming, the elder one, and the younger one is Wu Zhongyuan. The elder has been digging coal in the neighboring county, earning money to pay for the younger one''s high school fees. We moved the machine here last night, and even if someone told them about the excavator, they couldn''t have returned so quickly." "Yes, yes, Big Brother Sun has always been right." The man with the big gold chain flattered. "Okay, don''t talk nonsense," The man in the beach shirt pointed to the old house, "The house is nearly falling apart. You can tear it down without the excavator. Just push it over first, and then dig the grave when the machine arrives." Right after he finished, the man with a big golden chain shouted and led the crowd to the old house. When the ruffians were about to demolish the house, Wu Zhongyuan could only get down from the tree and ran out of the woods, shouting at them. S?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. "What are you doing?" The ruffians turned around and waited for the man in the beach shirt''s instructions when Wu Zhongyuan showed up to stop them. The man in the beach shirt had never seen Wu Zhongyuan before and didn''t know him at all. He was a little surprised to see someone approach, and he walked over, "Who are you?" "I''m Wu Zhongyuan, I''m in the high school, next town, and I heard that some local gangsters are trying to tear down the house and dig the grave. I''m here to see if it is true or not?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at the man in the beach shirt. "Fuck, who you mean are the gangsters?" Man with the golden chain scolded. The man in the beach shirt slapped the other man on the head and said, "Fuck, Go away, don''t you answer that." The man with a big golden chain moved away awkwardly, and the man in the beach shirt rolled out a praying beads chain from his wrist. He stepped forward with the big praying beads in his hand, "Are you from this family?" "Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Are you guys hooligans?" The man in the beach shirt smiled embarrassedly, "Of course not." "Then, you two are the law enforcement officers sent by the Civil Affairs Bureau and the town?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again. "Hehehehe." The man in the beach shirt laughed shortly. "Don''t laugh. Are you the law enforcement officers?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, "If you''re not from law enforcement agency, you don''t have the right to demolish our house and dig the grave." "Haha, it''s different if you have a degree. The talk was loud and clear," The man in the beach shirt said with a jeer. "But we have nothing to do with the town. This is our personal work." "There is no one supporting you and how dare you do something like this?" Wu Zhongyuan loudly inquired. The man in the beach shirt has no reason to say anything, and can''t keep up with the words. "Big Brother, stop talking nonsense with him, let''s do it." Someone next to him yelled. The man in the beach shirt did not answer the call immediately, but looked around and made sure there were no others nearby, so he raised his hand, "Drag him away and demolish the house." This group of people often do similar things, and they were familiar with it. As soon as the man in the beach shirt spoke, those ruffians immediately split up, a few rushed towards Wu Zhongyuan, and the rest ran to the house. Wu Zhongyuan didn''t expect that these gangsters would dare to come so far. He hurried to dodge when someone rushed towards him and shouted at the same time, "You are breaking the law. You have no right to demolish my house." "Don''t worry, we will also pay you money after the dismantling work is done." The man in the beach shirt sneered. Wu Zhongyuan was still young and had never experienced anything similar. When those ruffians were so unruly, he couldn''t think of a way to deal with it for a while. What he could do was continue to dodge and not be caught by them. At this time, the remaining ruffians had already rushed to the front of the house and began to smash the doors, windows and bricks. The man in the beach shirt got angry when the ruffians couldn''t catch Wu Zhongyuan and bellowed in disappointment, " You Pigs, go up a few more and catch him." The man in the beach shirt acted as a commander, commanding and dispatching orders, "Sanpizi, Send a few people around to guard, and don''t get filmed." "Hey, Wang Batou, your brain is kicked by a donkey. What are you doing with a knife? You need to catch him, not stab him. If you stab someone, it will cause big trouble." "Block him, block him. This kid is slippery, don''t run after him, block at both ends." "Haven''t you eaten this morning, right? work harder, hurry up." The ruffians who blocked Wu Zhongyuan started from the first three then the number increased to six. Master once warned him not to show his martial arts skills in front of other people. It was the reason why Wu Zhongyuan didn''t fight back against the ruffians. Also, there are some other reasons. Firstly, he didn''t care about the old house but the Master''s grave. As long as these people leave the grave untouched, he won''t fight. Also, it was the first time he encountered such a thing, and he couldn''t figure out what he was supposed to do. Forbidden to perform light kung fu, he got quickly cornered by the crowd. Wu Zhongyuan had no choice but to climb a big tree on the eastern side of the house. "Okay, okay, it looks like he doesn''t have a mobile phone, so don''t chase him, let him stay in the tree." The man in the beach shirt shouted. Leaving two men with big gold chains to guard under the tree, the rest of them went over to help demolish the house. Although the house is very dilapidated, it had a strong structure left by the old and sturdy foundation. The white cement had done a great job, and the foundation stone was big. After tearing down the roof and smashing the doors and windows, the ruffians were left tired. Even though they looked strong they had no strength since their bodies were weakened by wine & sex. Wu Zhongyuan was trapped in the tree but didn''t sit still. He was thinking about how to save the body of his master. In a hurry, he came up with a plan. "Hey, leader, can we talk?" "Huh?" The man in a beach shirt tilted his head to look at him. "If the house is demolished, then let it be. But don''t dig the grave, okay?" Wu Zhongyuan suggested. "It''s too late. If you signed the agreement and accepted the money earlier, won''t things be all right now? Now that this matter has been exposed, how can we just let it be." The man in the beach shirt said. "Then tell them that my master only has bones left, so there is no need to burn the body." Wu Zhongyuan said. "How can you say "burn"? It''s called cremation." The man in the beach shirt said with a quirky smile. "Besides, we''re just doing the job. We''ll have to come up with some officer to identify and decide whether to burn it again or not. " Wu Zhongyuan felt a chill in his heart when he heard it, "You should have a bottom line for bullying people. Don''t force them to do the extreme." The man in the beach shirt didn''t answer the young man''s words, but he just fixed his eyes on the ruins of the house and continued to direct the destruction. "If you dare to touch my master, I''ll let you die here," Wu Zhongyuan shouted angrily, "I''m only seventeen years old, and the charges of murder won''t be a death sentence." " You don''t have to run, just stay in the tree." The man in the beach shirt showed disdain. Seeing that the "project" is progressing slowly, the excavator driver, who has not done much but has been very attentive, donated a large hammer. The hammer appeared very heavy, and it was originally used to hit the crawler. With the hammer, the ruffians quickly smashed the corners and knocked down the walls. After the "business" was done, the ruffians did not leave but ran to the back of the house, picking apricots to eat. Wu Zhongyuan felt very distressed when he saw those branches broken. He hoped that Huang Ping might have gotten in touch with his senior brother in the evening, and his senior brother must have arrived by this time. After half an hour passed, another excavator was sent here, and it drove up the mountain with heavy machinery sound. "Don''t you come down now? We''ll dig down the tree in a while, and we don''t care if you fall to your death." The man in the beach shirt looked up at Wu Zhongyuan on the tree. Wu Zhongyuan frowned when he heard the words. Sounds like the man in the beach shirt got the idea that the location of the Master''s tomb was under the big tree where he was, but it was not. Master was buried under the tree in the north. Thinking about it carefully, the reason why the man in the beach shirt was wrong should be because there is no gravestone on the tomb of the master, or it may be that the person who provided them with clues didn''t make it clear. Right now, the senior brother is still on the way back, so it is better to make the misunderstood and delay it for a while. After making up his mind, he said loudly, "Don''t mess around, I''ll really fight with you." What he said was from his heart, and it was also a warning to the man in the beach shirt, but the leader only took his warning as a bluff. The leader sneered, and waved at the excavator driver, "Dig." Ch. 3 - Senior Brother Wu Zhongyuan already had a plan in his mind before jumping down from the tree. After landing on the ground, he immediately rushed towards the man in the beach shirt standing not far away. Those ruffians thought he was about to launch an attack on the man in the beach shirt, so all of them shouted and stepped forward to stop him. At that very instant, Wu Zhongyuan used the Qinggong technique. Qinggong not only helped him to jump lightly but also made his moves quicker on the ground. Weaving and dodging through a few ruffians, at a glance, he found a short-necked gangster with a knife hung to his waist. While rushing through the crowd, he took advantage of his unpredictable movement to draw a short knife from the man''s waist and weaved toward the man in the beach shirt. These ruffians often use knives to scare people, so they weren''t afraid of this stuff. However, the man in the beach shirt was so frightened and pale when Wu Zhongyuan rushed over with the knife," Fuck !" He shouted and then turned around to run away. Under the tension, he also threw away the big praying beads he held in his hand, and just ran for his life. The man in the beach shirt ran in front, Wu Zhongyuan chased after him, scolding while chasing with an expression of craziness, eyes wide and focused on that man. Hearing the shouts behind him, the man in the beach shirt was so frightened that he ran down the mountain desperately. In fact, Wu Zhongyuan never planned to go after the leader since he couldn''t really stab the man. His real purpose was to make noises, and divert the man in the beach shirt and others away so that he could stop the excavator. After running a few dozen meters, Wu Zhongyuan abruptly stopped and turned to run in the opposite direction. But the man in the beach shirt didn''t know that Wu Zhongyuan was no longer after him. He was still running forward desperately, and the gangsters could only follow the boss. S?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. When Wu Zhongyuan returned to the tree, the excavator had already started digging. The drivers may often encounter similar demolition and fighting scenes, so mostly they don''t mind others'' business and indulge in their job. Since the doors of the excavator were left open in the summer, Wu Zhongyuan took the chance and jumped in, anxiously looking around the car pit for the key. The driver was part of the ruffians too. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan jump into the car, he shoved the young man''s shoulder and tried to push him off. While pushing and shoving, Wu Zhongyuan somehow found the location of the key and reached out to pull it out. However, he didn''t understand the mechanics, so he pulled and twisted it hard, breaking the key. Even though the key broke, the engine didn''t turn off. In his astonishment, the driver came to push him again. Wu Zhongyuan was anxious and didn''t even think twice to punch the man. The punch hit the driver''s left eye, and immediately the man raised his hand to cover his eye with an " Ouch ". The driver''s move reminded Wu Zhongyuan to throw out another fist, this time hitting the driver''s right eye. "If you dare to drive this vehicle again, I will stab you to death." Wu Zhongyuan pretended to threaten him. "No! no! I dare not." The driver shook his head in horror and staggered out of the car. The group of ruffians hadn''t returned yet, and since the driver was done, there was no one but a man standing not far away. While looking at the man closely, he found out that it was the driver of the first excavator. Since there was another person who could drive an excavator, Wu Zhongyuan immediately went to him next. Upon seeing the young man reaching for him, the driver ran away when he thought the situation was not good. At the same time, the group of ruffians had already returned to the top of the mountain. It turned out that they were not running away but had gone to pick up "tools" from the cars at the bottom of the mountain. Everyone had tools in their hands, mostly machetes and iron pipes. The ruffians climbed the mountain while the driver ran down with Wu Zhongyuan chasing after him. Once the distance between them was about ten meters, Wu Zhongyuan knocked him down with a kick and watched the guy roll down, crying. It was only then he found the ruffians were closer, running back to the tree. Within a moment, ruffians started to chase after Wu Zhongyuan, and his first thought was to run back to the tree, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea. He had already made the ruffians angry. If he climbed up the tree again, these guys would definitely throw stones at him. In desperation, he had no choice but to make them run around the woods. Immediately, a group of men with big golden chains chased after him. The man in the beach shirt was scared and lost his ground in shame. All the henchmen were shouting and wanting to avenge so that they can prove their loyalty to the leader. After running for a while, the ruffians stopped chasing, not because they wanted to give up, but because Wu Zhongyuan was running too fast and they really couldn''t catch up. The man in the beach shirt called everyone back and told the driver to get in the car and continue digging when there was no hope to catch Wu Zhongyuan. The driver was punched twice by Wu Zhongyuan, his eyes were swollen as a panda''s big black round eyes pattern. He was threatened by Wu Zhongyuan before and dared not to drive again. He only said that his eyes were too swollen to see and tried to open his eyes but couldn''t. The driver was too scared, to tell the truth, so he made an excuse that he fell and got injured. He would rather stay at the foot of the mountain instead of going up. Just when Wu Zhongyuan thought that the excavation could not be carried out, the man in the beach shirt shouted at the short-necked man whose short knife got snatched earlier, "Wang Batou, didn''t you go to Lanxiang Technical School? You drive." "Huh?" The man was embarrassed for a moment. He scratched his head and said, "I can''t, I was learning to cook." "Big Brother, I know how to drive it." Someone in the gang took the initiative to ask. "Go." The man in the beach shirt said and then he shouted to the rest of the crowd, "Encircle the tree. If that little bastard dares to come back, beat him to the death." The excavator moved again, and a group of gangsters surrounded the tree, vigilantly staring at Wu Zhongyuan from far away. Although his Master wasn''t buried under that tree, still Wu Zhongyuan was very anxious. There were only two large oak trees outside the house, and if the ruffians couldn''t find the body here, they would dig around another tree. In desperation, Wu Zhongyuan could only take the risk and charge toward them. When the gang saw him move, they waved their machetes to block him. The dagger he snatched earlier was short, in comparison to machetes which were more than two feet long. It was impossible to defend them, let alone scare them away. Unfortunately, this time, the ruffians learned to be smart, so they forced Wu Zhongyuan to retreat. They did not chase after him, but got back and continued to guard the tree. There were too many people and no room to move, even if he used Qinggong. Wu Zhongyuan had no choice but to pick up stones and throw them at the ruffians. However, after learning from the past, the guy who drove the excavator closed the car door, even though the stone couldn''t even reach him or the door. The excavator dug for a while, and a large deep pit appeared under the tree. If they were allowed to continue digging the ground, they would soon find that there was nothing underneath, and they would switch to another place. Wu Zhongyuan rushed into action when the truth was about to be revealed. Since he could not interfere with the driver, there was only one last way- to catch the man in the beach shirt as a hostage and force him to stop the excavator. For those who know kung fu, it is easier to kill a person than to injure, and it''s even easier to injure one than to hold one alive. The most difficult thing was to control the opponent without hurting the opponent. Wu Zhongyuan wasn''t sure whether he could hold the man in the beach shirt as a hostage or not. There''s no time to waste, even if you are not sure you have to bite the bullet. When the group of ruffians saw him rushing up again, they waved the machetes to chase him away. This time, Wu Zhongyuan didn''t back down. The man in the beach shirt did not expect Wu Zhongyuan to dare put his eyes on him. But before he could react, Wu Zhongyuan was already in front of him with the short knife on his neck. Before Wu Zhongyuan could shout "Let them stop", a nearby ruffian gave him a whack, directly on the head, with great force, and blood immediately came out. The leader who got chased by Wu Zhongyuan had already lost his face before his henchmen and he was frustrated to save his reputation. Although he was afraid of the impending danger, he still shouted "Dare you to stab, you dare!" Wu Zhongyuan didn''t have the gut to stab, since he was aware of the law which punishes an act of killing with a death sentence. Even if he won''t be sentenced to death, he would have to be imprisoned for decades, ruining his life for these scums, it''s not worth it. The man in the beach shirt became more courageous when he saw Wu Zhongyuan''s hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the short knife in the young man''s hand, and put on the mask of hypocrisy again, "I, Sun Jingyang, am a well-educated person, and you are a teenager, I will not get mad at you. You have common sense, so stay on the side, don''t get in the way, and the compensation will be yours." Since he was bleeding from the wound, Wu Zhongyuan felt a little dizzy, but he raised his hand to wipe off the blood from his forehead, and said "You are dead meat." "Fuck, shut your mouth!" Someone kicked him. Wu Zhongyuan didn''t look back. He walked to the north side of the tree and sat down, blood on his head and tears in his eyes. He didn''t want to break the law, and he didn''t want to die, but he couldn''t accept the horrific image of his master being dug up and his corpse exposed under the scorching sun. He was raised by his master and if it was possible, he could have returned his life to his Master. At the same moment, the sound of a motorcycle came from the foot of the mountain and it didn''t take long for the vehicle to appear in Wu Zhongyuan''s blurred vision. He didn''t recognize the motorcycle, but he knew the rider. His brother finally came back. Lin Qingming''s figure was somewhat similar to Wu Zhongyuan, fairly built and thin. However, he was three years older than Wu Zhongyuan, he appeared slightly taller than the other. Lin Qingming was in his miner''s uniform, and a face covered in coal dust. Since he rushed home immediately after hearing the news, he didn''t even have time to clean himself. As soon as Lin Qingming reached the mountain''s foot, he had already discovered that the house had been demolished and when he climbed up, he saw the surrounding scene and vaguely guessed what was going on. However, he had a mild temperament and didn''t launch an immediate attack on the intruders. He got off the motorcycle and walked quickly towards Wu Zhongyuan who had already stood up, He moved closer to his younger brother and asked in a deep voice, "What''s going on?" "They demolished our house, and they want to dig our Master''s grave." Wu Zhongyuan said as he held back his tears. "I''m not blind. I can see what they are doing. I''m asking why you didn''t fight them?" Lin Qingming lifted his miner''s uniform and glanced at the vest inside, and found that it was so dirty, so stretched out his hand to shred Wu Zhongyuan''s shirt and helped him bandage the wound on his head as if nothing had happened. However, when Wu Zhongyuan remained silent, Lin Qingming raised his tone and inquired again, "Why didn''t you fight them? You can''t win?" "I can." Wu Zhongyuan said. "Then why didn''t you fight?" Lin Qingming asked coldly. Wu Zhongyuan was nagged and felt wronged, "It''s not the time to fight." "If you don''t fight them for demolishing our house, digging up our master''s grave, and disturbing his sleep, then when will you fight?" Lin Qingming tightly tied a knot in the bandage and turned his way toward the ruffians. "Brother, don''t do it. Now that you are back, things will get better and there may be a turning point in this matter." Wu Zhongyuan held Lin Qingming back. Ch. 4 - Wildness Graves When Lin Qingming approached, a ruffian who was eager to show off his capabilities, rushed toward him, waving an iron pipe. However, Lin Qingming, who remained expressionless, sped forward, grabbed the iron pipe, and smashed the man''s legs, so smoothly, all at once. The cracking sound of broken bones came first, followed by shrill screams. Wu Zhongyuan was stunned and speechless, the thing he was most worried about happened right at this moment. Breaking one''s leg was different from bleeding one''s nose, it was illegal. Before he could regain his senses, the cracking sound came again, Lin Qingming broke the law again. The screams came one after another, Even before a wave of screams got settled, another wave rose accompanied by the cracking sounds. All the injured ruffians fell to the ground holding their legs and wailed mournfully. Obviously, Lin Qingming did this on purpose, even though wielding the pipe to break the legs requires more energy, than hitting the head from the top. And the reason why he did it was also very obvious. It''s better to attack the legs so that he can disable those ruffians'' mobility, and get them to stay before they get away. By the time Wu Zhongyuan had reacted, twenty or more ruffians were already rolling on the ground, and the rest of the ruffians were not good enough to care about their pride, so they left the boss and ran as fast as wild animals in a stampede. Lin Qingming didn''t even think about stopping as he continued to smash their legs. He had performed light kung fu while chasing and beating,one after another. When people are running for their lives, the attack''s impact was huge; If you run too slowly, your legs will be broken, so run as fast as you can, even if you are tired. None of the ruffians ran in the same direction, hoping that Lin Qingming wouldn''t finish them at once, not even if he duplicated himself. However, at that time, Wu Zhongyuan took action. He picked up an iron pipe from the ground and then used the same technique to chase others. For the better, for their duties, it was given that they had to confront any consequences together, because they are brothers. Since Lin Qingming had broken the law, he could not let his senior brother bear the guilt alone. When Lin Qingming looked back while chasing others and found that Wu Zhongyuan was after those ruffians with an iron pipe, and hurriedly shouted to stop him "Don''t do it." He shouted to Wu Zhongyuan, In fact, his shout was not too late, but Wu Zhongyuan refused to listen to him, as he accelerated forward eight more meters, knocking down the two ruffians one after another. Lin Qingming was extremely annoyed by Wu Zhongyuan''s participation, and shouted angrily, "Stay there, don''t move." When the blood is boiling, it is difficult to restrain, Wu Zhongyuan ignored Lin Qingming''s warning as he carried the iron pipe and rushed again. Well, what''s done is done, Lin Qingming couldn''t care more, so he excised the inner energy and stepped onto the ground, chasing after the three ruffians who ran to the mountainside. The fight ended quickly. In less than two minutes, the mountain was left empty, except for the horrific screams of pain. The two brothers met at the ruins of the house. Lin Qingming wanted to scold Wu Zhongyuan, but seeing his unsteady stature, he hurried to help his brother, "Why don''t you listen to me?" "I didn''t fight them not because I''m afraid of them, I was just afraid of breaking the law." Wu Zhongyuan started to feel uneasy. They had attacked people and even made them roll on the ground, and the two of them will definitely go to jail. Hearing what Wu Zhongyuan said, Lin Qingming began to regret that he should not have blamed Wu Zhongyuan before. The reason why Wu Zhongyuan acted was just to prove to him that he was not timid. "The national college examination is coming soon. You shouldn''t have done it." Lin Qingming felt guilt for this. "I don''t feel good about using the money you earned from working hard in mines to study. It''s okay even if I don''t get to study. You don''t have to risk your life and suffer." Wu Zhongyuan comforted.However, what he said obviously didn''t work, and Lin Qingming was still in a bad mood. "Brother, what should I do now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. Wu Zhongyuan''s words brought Lin Qingming''s thoughts back to reality from his anger. He looked around and found the excavator''s engine was still running, and the ruffian driver was still sitting in the car, trembling with fear. "Where''s the leader?" Wu Zhongyuan suddenly found that the man in the beach shirt was missing. Lin Qingming moved toward the excavator, and Wu Zhongyuan followed. When they got closer, Wu Zhongyuan circled the excavator and couldn''t see the man in the beach shirt either. He looked up at the car pit, the ruffian driver looked back at Wu Zhongyuan with a scared face, then pointed to the digging claw. The digging claw was still in the dirt pit, and the man in the beach shirt curled up inside of it. Since he had already made a big mistake, he doesn''t care to add one more to beat. "Come out." Wu Zhongyuan stood by the pit, holding the iron pipe. The man in the beach shirt was frightened, his face was pale, shaking and chafing, and he kept bowing at Wu Zhongyuan, "Younger brother, take it easy, let me go, and I will give you the money." Wu Zhongyuan sneered, "I reminded you before, don''t step on the line and bully people to the extreme. Now we will definitely go to jail for this, and it is all your fault, do you think we can let you go now? Come out, come out yourself or If I come there, I''ll break both legs and you will be on your four." After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the man in the beach shirt was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, "You don''t need to go to jail, you don''t really have to go to jail, I can handle this." "It''s such a big trouble, How do you do to get it done?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a frown. S?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. "I can do it, I can really can,", the man in the beach shirt held his mobile phone up to show Wu Zhongyuan, "Look, I didn''t call the police. But let me make a call to move these people away. I swear we won''t call the police, and no one will hold you accountable for this matter." "Really?" Wu Zhongyuan was dubious. "Anything can be done with money. Let me make a phone call and find someone to move my brothers away." The man in the beach shirt was really frightened, as he spoke in a trembling voice. Unsure of his decision, Wu Zhongyuan looked at his brother. Lin Qingming was expressionless and did not speak. Wu Zhongyuan suddenly felt dizzy due to the excessive blood loss, he then focused hard to keep himself steady. "My master''s grave will not be dug anymore?" "No more digging, I''ll seal it back." "Then how do you explain whatever happened to the people on top?" Wu Zhongyuan was not sure whether the man in the beach shirt was telling the truth or not, but if this man could really settle this matter, the two brothers would not have to go to jail. "These are all trivial matters. I can take a few photos elsewhere. I can say anything as long as I have the money. I have money! I am really rich!" The man in the beach shirt was incoherent. Wu Zhongyuan looked at his brother again, but Lin Qingming remained silent. "That''s fine. You can make the call." Wu Zhongyuan finally let go. Hearing the words, the man in the beach shirt started to make calls. "Hands-free mode." Lin Qingming said coldly. How can the leader not listen? He made a phone call on the speaker, and asked someone to come over to deal with the aftermath. Indeed, the leader was very rich, and there was nothing money couldn''t buy. It didn''t take long for a car to come, and a group of men hurriedly carried those ruffians on their backs or the stretcher into the car. Within twenty minutes, everyone has moved away. At this time, the man in the beach shirt also came back to his senses and regained his bearings, "We don''t know each other, but I didn''t expect the two young lads to have such good skills. Why don''t you work with me in the future?" " We don''t do things that hurt the world." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and refused, and at this moment, he was still worried that the leader would call the police after the incident. However, the man in the beach shirt didn''t give up even after being rejected, " Youngsters are also in the gangs..." Before the man in the beach shirt finished the word, Wu Zhongyuan interrupted him, "I''m not. " "You..." The man in the beach shirt pointed to the dragon tattoo on Wu Zhongyuan''s chest and Wu Zhongyuan immediately remembered that his shirt was torn by Lin Qingming to bandage his wound. He hurriedly zipped up his coat, "Say no more nonsense, quickly fill in the soil and move the excavator away. " The man in the beach shirt didn''t know that he was betrayed by the henchman who drove the excavator and followed Wu Zhongyuan''s words and hurriedly shouted to the man, "Hurry up, fill it up." It may be that the driver thought he betrayed his leader and was nervous, or he lacked skills, the excavator''s claws did not bend, but dig down again. The shovel went down, and the sound of wood shattering came from the bottom of the pit. When the sound came, the man in the beach shirt''s face turned pale with fright, and he pointed at the driver and shouted, "Can you fucking drive?" The driver was scolded and hurriedly lifted the claw. The leader was afraid of the claw, breaking the coffin. This guy''s face turned green when he saw the half-section of the coffin lid hanging from the teeth of the digging claw. "This, this, this..." the man in the beach shirt looked at the young lads in horror. Wu Zhongyuan and Lin Qingming didn''t look at him but looked at each other. They both knew that Master wasn''t buried under this tree. Then how could there be a coffin here? The man in the beach shirt was even more frightened when he looked at the strange expressions of the brothers, fearing that they would get angry at him, so he pointed at the driver and cursed. After scolding a few words, he turned around and bowed the brothers, "I will pay..I will pay a good one for your master''s coffin," At this point, the two brothers, who had come to their senses that this coffin should have been buried by someone else a few years ago. Since Lin Qingming is not very talkative, Wu Zhongyuan said, "Forget it, you didn''t do it on purpose, just fill in the soil." "This, this, since it has been dug up, can I..." the man in the beach shirt held the phone, which meant that he wanted to take pictures to show the people on top that the job was done. "Okay, go ahead." Wu Zhongyuan casually agreed. The man in the beach shirt didn''t expect the young man would agree so easily, which was a bit unexpected, but he didn''t think too much about it. He immediately thanked them and went to take pictures. "You shouldn''t have let him take pictures. What if it''s a woman''s corpse?" Lin Qingming whispered. Ch. 5 - The Strange and Weird Corpse Hearing the man in the beach shirt''s cry, the brothers hurriedly looked at him only to see the leader who stood by the pit with a ghostly look. Because he was too frightened, he threw away his mobile phone, and luckily he didn''t throw himself away. The two walked to the pit with doubt in their minds. If the coffin contained the bones of a dead person, the leader would never be frightened like this, since he already knew that there was a dead body in the coffin before taking pictures. From this, it was evident that this guy saw something unexpected. However, judging from the details of the leader running away as if seeing a ghost, the contents of the coffin were no more frightening than being threatened to break his legs. When the man in the beach shirt saw the brothers walking his way, he waved eagerly, "Come, come and see." "What?" Wu Zhongyuan casually asked. "Your master, your master..." The man in the beach shirt hesitated. Wu Zhongyuan was already puzzled, but he became more and more puzzled when saw the expression of the leader. The reason why this guy was hesitant was no doubt that he was considering the possibility of mentioning it without offending the two''s master with the wrong words. This also means that inside the coffin are still human bones. Or is there a man''s corpse that hasn''t rotted? Eager to know the truth, Wu Zhongyuan walked as fast as he could. He looked down when he got to the pit. At first glance, he frowned; it turned out that his guess was wrong. Inside the coffin was not an undecayed body, but a rotten corpse. The skeleton seemed like an adult male, it is 90% similar to a human being, but there was something wrong with its head. To be precise, it is the mouth. Instead of a mouth, it had a bird''s beak, about ten centimeters long, grayish-yellow in color, sharp, and very similar to the beak of a falcon raptor. Lin Qingming was doing the same thing while Wu Zhongyuan looked down at the pit. When they got a gist of the situation, the two looked at each other suspiciously again. The corpse in the coffin was really weird, and it was no wonder that the gangster leader got frightened. At the same moment, the man in the beach shirt still thought that the corpse in the coffin was these young men''s master. "How did your master become... Oh, I see, your master was a Taoist priest, the feathering immortal." If he denies that the corpse was not the Master''s, it will bring out the real burial place of the Master. Wu Zhongyuan was still worried about what to say, but after the man in beach shirt''s words, he immediately got off the silence and gave the man in beach shirt an " As you knew" look, "The secret must not be revealed." "Understood, understood, understood, I understood." the man in the beach shirt nodded again and again. There was a lot of noise from the engine, and the gangster driving the excavator couldn''t hear what the two were saying, but watching their weird expressions, he curiously leaned out, hoping to see what was going on at the pit''s bottom. Seeing this, the leader burst into anger and yelled at him, "It''s bad luck to see dead people, get in, get in!" Pushing the gangster back to the car pit, the man in the beach shirt looked at Wu Zhongyuan with inquiring eyes. The wound on Wu Zhongyuan''s head was bleeding slowly and he felt a little dizzy, so he didn''t want to delay any follow up procedure. "Fill it up again." He demanded, "My phone." the leader pointed to the coffin inside the pit. Out of shock, he lost his grip on the phone, and it just fell into the coffin when he tried to take some pictures. Wu Zhongyuan didn''t want to go down, so he came up with a question, "Even if you pick it up, can you still use it?" As soon as Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Lin Qingming''s voice came from the side, "Come here." When he walked over Lin Qingming pointed to the half-coffin lid hanging on the excavator''s claw, signaling his brother to look. After carefully watching, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Lin Qingming suspiciously. Well, Coffins are rare now, and only a few people are familiar with them. However, they knew about the coffins very well because the master once built one by himself in front of them when he was alive. According to the theories of yin and yang and the five elements, iron is a killing weapon, so the coffin cannot be nailed, but must be fixed by mortise and tenon. The oak wood of the coffin was the same material that Master used when he made the coffin for himself, and the style of the mortise and tenon were also the same, which means that this coffin was probably buried by Master when he was alive. The two of them didn''t know about the corpse''s identity in the coffin and what was its relationship with their master. Unfortunately, their master never mentioned it before his death. After a glance at each other, Lin Qingming gave Wu Zhongyuan a wink, and the two worked together to remove the half of the coffin lid from the digging claw and carried it to the side of the pit. "Mobile phone." The man in the beach shirt was still thinking about his mobile phone. "Don''t ask for it, just consider that you gave it to my master as compensation." Wu Zhongyuan was reluctant to help him get it back, mainly because he was afraid that he had already taken the picture before the phone fell from the man in a beach shirt. "I''m okay to give it as compensation. If someone calls me, the old man must not answer it." The leader grimaced. Wu Zhongyuan was too lazy to answer him, so he leaned down to the bottom of the pit and picked up the phone. He wanted to put it temporarily in his pocket, but when he found a white jade-like object in the coffin, he threw the phone to the leader, who stood above. Taking advantage of the leader''s distraction, he picked up the white thing and put it in his pocket. He did this purely out of curiosity. Even though Lin Qingming saw what his brother did, he didn''t stop it and jumped down to cover the coffin. Wu Zhongyuan stumbled again after finishing the job and then jumped out of the pit. The wound he suffered from the blow on his head turned quite serious by now. Although a simple bandage was wrapped, the wound was still bleeding. Lin Qingming stretched out his hand to support his brother and looked at the leader, "Turn on the phone." the man in the beach shirt vaguely guessed what Lin Qingming was looking for, and hurriedly entered the password and handed over the mobile phone, "I didn''t take a picture, I didn''t take any picture, there''s no secret leaked." Lin Qingming didn''t answer, but after confirming there wasn''t any picture at all, he returned the phone to the man. After taking his phone back, the leader then turned and shouted to the driver, and the excavator began to fill in the soil. This big guy dug fast and quickly filled the pit. The man in the beach shirt felt guilty and timid, so after filling the pit, he prayed and bowed to the coffin. "Dig and move these two trees away, and flatten the ground around 100 square meters." Lin Qingming instructed in a deep voice. The man in the beach shirt didn''t even ask why, because he knew that Lin Qingming didn''t want others to know the specific burial location of the master. But little did he know that the one in the coffin was not their master. The excavator was busy, and the brothers went to the ruins of the house to search for available utensils. Wu Zhongyuan lost too much blood and had no strength to keep. After moving a few stones, he felt exhausted, so he sat at one corner of the ruins. After his prayer, the leader bowed at the ruins and moved close to Wu Zhongyuan in embarrassment. "Hehe, hehe, little brother, ah no, priest... junior Taoist priest. I was blind and I offended the Fairy God. I will pay, I will pay more to rectify my mistake. What do you think?" "Are you afraid of retribution?" Wu Zhongyuan didn''t sound polite at all. No matter how good-natured people are, they will not be polite to those who demolish their own houses, not to mention that he wasn''t originally someone with a good temper either. "Afraid, scared." The man in the beach shirt awkwardly nodded. "Demolishing the houses of the living and digging the graves of the dead are the things that hurt Yin merit the most. If you believe in retribution, you shouldn''t earn this kind of money to cut off the lives of your descendants." Wu Zhongyuan harshly reminded the leader so that the man was left frightened. He didn''t believe in retribution before, but now he was forced to believe it after witnessing the corpse with a bird''s beak. It seems to coincide with the legend of the Taoist priest who died and ascended to the immortal world. After growing feathers, he became a bird, at least he thought so. "I''ll send someone to bring the money right away." The only way the man in the beach shirt could think of atonement was to give money. S~?a??h the N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Wu Zhongyuan was a little moved when he found that the man cared about what they needed. In all fairness, the two do need money. Wu Zhongyuan hesitated, but Lin Qingming did not, "What should be given to us can''t be less. But if it''s not yours, and we don''t want any." Hearing Lin Qingming''s words, the man in the beach shirt became more frightened. He looked at Wu Zhongyuan with pleading eyes because he found that Wu Zhongyuan was better to talk to than Lin Qingming. However, Wu Zhongyuan looked aside as if he was avoiding the leader''s pleading eyes. Although they were only three years apart, Wu Zhongyuan listened to Lin Qingming. Once his brother said no, he definitely couldn''t disagree. "Little Daoist." The man in the beach shirt felt guilty and fearful as he bowed at Wu Zhongyuan again. Seeing that the fright was almost gone, Wu Zhongyuan spoke up, "Okay, don''t be afraid. Exposed under the light once won''t affect the master''s feathering immortal ability. If the corpse is seen again, you can wait for the disaster for your children and grandchildren." Hearing that the man in the beach shirt felt both happy and scared at the same time, "Don''t worry, from now on, I will send someone to watch it every day." "Aren''t you afraid that others will be suspicious?" Wu Zhongyuan shook his head helplessly. "Then what should I do?" The man in the beach shirt was at a loss. "Okay, okay, you can do it." Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand impatiently. While the two were talking, Lin Qingming kept rummaging in the rubble. Almost everything that could be used at home was smashed, and nothing was left intact to pick out. The only gain was a bundle of books, a dozen different sizes of books. Lin Qingming walked out of the ruins and put the bundle of books beside Wu Zhongyuan, "I don''t have time to read, and there is no place to put them in the mine, so you can take it." "Where did you get those?" Wu Zhongyuan asked as he patted the dust on the books. "It may have fallen from the ceiling." Lin Qingming said casually. After he patted off the dust on the top, then he saw the title on the thread-bound book, "Tao Te Ching". This bundle should have been the Taoist scriptures collected by the Master when he was alive. "Brother, I''m a little tired, let''s go." Wu Zhongyuan said. He was not tired but felt apathetic by excessive blood loss. Lin Qingming nodded and walked towards the motorcycle while Wu Zhongyuan carried the bundle of scriptures and walked behind. " Are you going now?" the leader asked as he also followed them. "Do you like to keep us for dinner?" Wu Zhongyuan was annoyed. "I''m afraid the two of you won''t give me the chance." the man in the beach shirt sneered. "You''re right." Wu Zhongyuan said while Lin Qingming started the motorcycle. As soon as he sat, the motorcycle went down the mountain and headed east. Watching the two go down the mountain, the leader turned back and shouted at the excavator, "Just scratch a piece of land, you don''t need to dig deep, hurry up and leave soon, otherwise you''ll have bad luck for eight lifetimes." Not long after the motorcycle left the village road and went to the town road, Wu Zhongyuan asked, "Brother, what do you think that thing is in the coffin? What does it have to do with our master?" "If our Master didn''t tell us about it before his death, then he just doesn''t want us to know. So don''t ask more questions." Lin Qingming reminded his brother. But Wu Zhongyuan couldn''t hold back his curiosity, so he kept asking his doubts, "Did you notice that the man was buried naked? If he was wearing clothes, there would be traces of clothes." "What did you take from the coffin?" Lin Qingming asked without answering. Wu Zhongyuan took out the piece of the white object from his pocket and carefully examined it. It was in the shape of a flat circle, though the shape was not definite, and the surface was very smooth. "A small pebble or maybe jade." Wu Zhongyuan said as he handed it to Lin Qingming. Lin Qingming didn''t have any interest to probe, so he rode his motorcycle without squinting, "Don''t take dead people''s things in the future." "Oh." Wu Zhongyuan replied. When they arrived in the town, Lin Qingming went to a health center and properly treated Wu Zhongyuan''s wound. The wound was deep and long, and it needed stitches, but when he thought about shaving his head to stitch the wound, he refused, thinking that it would make him look ugly. After a simple meal in the town, Lin Qingming rode the borrowed motorcycle back to the mine, and Wu Zhongyuan took the pile of old books and got on the bus back to the county town. Not long after getting on the bus, Wu Zhongyuan fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, he was surprised to find that he was no longer on the bus, but was lying on a hospital bed. The ward is very big, and there is only one bed for him. There are a dozen or so doctors and nurses standing around the bed in a circle, all of them are quite old. "Why am I here?" Wu Zhongyuan sat up suspiciously. "You are infusion, don''t move," an old nurse with two bars on her hat stepped forward and said, "You fainted on the bus and the driver brought you to the hospital." "Oh." Wu Zhongyuan nodded. , After nodding, he found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, "Why are you looking at me like that?" No one answered. Wu Zhongyuan was a little nervous under the strange gazes of everyone. If it was just a simple wound, it would be impossible for so many doctors to come. "Did I have something bad?" "No," a tall and thin old doctor walked toward Wu Zhongyuan''s bedside, "Young man, let me ask you something." "What?" Wu Zhongyuan became more and more nervous because he could see that the old doctor was very excited even though he spoke very kindly. Ch. 6 - Blood Abnormalities After hearing the old doctor''s words, Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly, "What''s the matter, is there something wrong with my blood?" The old doctor frowned slightly and turned to look at the colleagues beside him. Seeing that they didn''t respond, he turned around and said to Wu Zhongyuan, "Don''t worry, you are very healthy, but you lost too much blood, which caused hemorrhagic syncope." "Then why are you asking me if I have tested blood or not?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. "You tell me first, have you done a blood test before?" The old doctor smiled unnaturally. "A few years ago, I had a blood type test in the village. I have blood type A." Wu Zhongyuan replied. The old doctor nodded in agreement, "We know about your blood group. But apart from this simple blood type test, have you ever done a detailed blood routine test?" "No, I''ve never been in a hospital." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, and suddenly remembered something after shaking his head, "Did you transfer the wrong blood?" "No, no," the old doctor waved his hand, "We didn''t dare to do the transfer at all." Wu Zhongyuan''s heart twitched again after hearing the doctor''s reply, "Doctor, please tell me the truth, what exactly happened to me?" The old doctor didn''t answer, and the forty-year-old female doctor next to him took over, "Don''t be nervous. Before the blood transfusion, we carefully checked your blood and found that your blood is quite not the same as a human''s." "Ah?" Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was frightened, the female doctor hurriedly added and corrected, "It''s different from ordinary people." "What does it mean? How can I have different blood from ordinary people?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly. The old doctor who spoke earlier tried to explain, ''This involves various indicators of blood examination, and it is very complicated to say." Wu Zhongyuan just woke up, his mind was still a little dizzy and was frightened again. "Don''t talk about how complicated it is, just tell me how it affects me?" "Your blood is very special. Once you lose too much blood, no blood source can be replenished. Lack of blood resources, at any moment, will leave the biggest impact on you." "What about the small impact?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again. "It''s still uncertain, but we have sent blood samples to the provincial capital, and the results will be available tonight," the old doctor said. Wu Zhongyuan came to his senses and didn''t ask any more questions. He did have his blood type tested a few years ago and knew that he was blood type A, which meant that he won''t be having any major problems since it was one of the common blood types. The old doctor waved to others around the bed, and those doctors left the ward with clipboards in their hands. In the end, only three were left, the old doctor himself, the female doctor, also the old nurse with the two bars on the hat. When others left, the three of them took the chairs and sat down by the bedside. The old doctor initiated the conversation, "Young man, can you talk to us?" "No, I have no money and I can''t afford the hospital, so I have to leave." Wu Zhongyuan wanted to get down from the bed. "You are still undergoing the infusion, don''t move around." The old nurse stepped forward to stop him. "You still need to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation." "What exactly are you trying to observe?" Wu Zhongyuan was a little annoyed. The old doctor also stepped forward to help dissuade him, "Don''t worry, we need to see if your abnormal blood phase is caused by trauma or anything else." Looking at the old doctor with a poker face, Wu Zhongyuan refused, "What if I don''t let you observe?" The old doctor was very embarrassed, "Don''t get me wrong, we are only responsible for your condition. If you insist on leaving, we will respect your opinion." "I''ll go now and pull out the needle for me, please." Wu Zhongyuan demanded. The doctor had no choice but nodded to the old nurse beside him. The nurse was instructed to help Wu Zhongyuan pull out the infusion needle on the back of his hand. Wu Zhongyuan didn''t need to change the clothes since he was still wearing his own. He looked at the clock on the wall as he put on his shoes. It is almost one o''clock in the afternoon, luckily the time spent in the hospital was not long "How much is this infusion?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. "No need to pay, you can leave now, and take a rest when you get home." The old doctor opened the cabinet beside him and took out a plastic bag : "This is yours." Wu Zhongyuan opened the bag and found that it contained his stack. Old books may be too dusty, so the hospital wrapped them in bags. Carrying the bag to the door of the ward, Wu Zhongyuan stopped, turned around and asked "You are really letting me go?" The old doctor nodded, "You are a patient in the hospital, not a prisoner of the public security jail, we have no right to restrict you. You are free to go!" After confirming that he was free to go, somehow Wu Zhongyuan''s thoughts of leaving aren''t that strong. "You always have to pay for treatment. How much does this bottle cost?" "Eighty," As soon as he heard the old doctor, Wu Zhongyuan took out a handful of change from his pocket, and counted it, only sixty or so, it''s not enough. "Young man, you don''t need to pay for the infusion, can you chat with us for a while?" The old doctor discussed in a harmonious voice. Wu Zhongyuan thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "But I have to make a phone call first. I was absent from class. I have to tell the teacher, otherwise, they will be worried." "Are you still a student?" The old doctor was a little surprised. Wu Zhongyuan knew the reason for the doctor''s astonishment must be because of the tattoo on his chest. Those with tattoos are not good people, this is the understanding of most people. Although it is unfair, it is a helpless reality. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, the old doctor hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and handed it to him. "I''d better use the landline." Wu Zhongyuan didn''t take the old doctor''s phone. The old doctor nodded in agreement and took him to the nurse station outside to make a phone call. After three minutes, the two returned to the ward. Back in the ward, Wu Zhongyuan was in a good mood. Luckily, The headteacher did not criticize him, nor did he mention the security guard being beaten. This shows that the security guard had a guilty conscience and did not dare to call the police after he was beaten. In addition, the man in the beach shirt did not call the police, otherwise, the police would have found the school earlier. "President Wang, thank you." Wu Zhongyuan thanked the old doctor. When he made the call at the nurse''s station, the nurse greeted him like this, otherwise, he would not know that the old doctor was the president here. "You''re welcome," president Wang waved his hand, and then pointed to the other two to introduce to Wu Zhongyuan, "This is Director Li of the internal medicine department, and this is Head Nurse Zhang." Wu Zhongyuan nodded politely to the two of them, and the two nodded in response. Nurse Zhang helped Wu Zhongyuan to walk back to the hospital bed and helped him get an infusion. Wu Zhongyuan did not lie down, but sat on the side of the bed, looked at President Wang, and waited for him to speak. This time, President Wang didn''t use the doctor''s tone to speak to the patient, nor did he mention Wu Zhongyuan''s abnormal blood, just gossip. It seems that it is just gossip, but Wu Zhongyuan knows that President Wang is not aimless. President Wang wants to find out the reason for his abnormal blood by understanding his origin and what he has experienced. Even if he knew President Wang''s intentions, Wu Zhongyuan didn''t hide it. He was adopted by his master when he was very young. The master didn''t say much about it, only said that he had not been weaned when he adopted him. As for the details of the adoption, Master did not mention it, nor did he say why Master named him Wu as surnamed. President Wang asked about his Master''s situation again, and Wu Zhongyuan also answered the doctor briefly; the reason why he did not hide it is that President Wang asked ''Was your master a Taoist priest'', and not ''what did your master do''. The reason why President Wang asked this question was that he undoubtedly saw the bundle of Taoist scriptures that the young man carried with him. Since people have already guessed it, there is no need to lie. President Wang then went on to ask about his childhood and Wu Zhongyuan said that his growth experience was similar to that of ordinary people. He studied in elementary school, went to junior high school and entered high school. The only difference was that he never went to a kindergarten since his master taught him to read and write at home. Wu Zhongyuan''s answer obviously failed to satisfy President Wang''s doubts. After that, President Wang asked him if he had eaten any special food or if he had been to any strange place, and if he had any special experience. After the careful recall, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. Unable to find the problem, President Wang was a little disappointed. "I exercise martial arts." Wu Zhongyuan actively said., well, it was not only President Wang, but he was also eager to find out the truth about his blood. After all, no one can guarantee that he will not be injured and bleed in the future. It would become very dangerous to not accept any blood transfusion when it is needed. President Wang shook his head. "Practicing martial arts and strengthening the body will not cause changes in the blood." Wu Zhongyuan stopped talking for a moment when he realized that he said everything he could think of, and didn''t deliberately hide any, but his growth experience was nothing special. In the silence, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly remembered something "Master once said that when he found me, I was dying and kept coughing up blood. It took Master several years to cure me." "Did your master mention what medicine he used?" President Wang excitedly asked. "It''s the herbal cough medicine, and he used the same formula for others." Wu Zhongyuan replied. "If it is okay, can we do a full-body CT?" President Wang suggested all of a sudden and Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Whenever the President needs to do something, no need to pay, no need to line up, and the result will come out soon. "No abnormal lesions, " to put it bluntly, he is very healthy, and there is no problem. After being tossed back and forth for a few hours, Wu Zhongyuan wanted to leave the hospital and was about to get off the bed. When he informed President Wang that he wished to leave, the old doctor immediately called his driver and asked him to park the car downstairs. After the phone call, President Wang suddenly remembered that he had one more question to ask, "When did you get the tattoo on your body?" Wu Zhongyuan shook his head "I don''t know, it was there when I was very young." President Wang was surprised when he heard Wu Zhongyuan''s answer, "Are you saying that this tattoo was already there when your master adopted you?" Wu Zhongyuan nodded. "Can I take a closer look?" President Wang asked. Wu Zhongyuan was not very happy, but for the sake of President Wang''s kindness to send a car for him, he felt that it was not polite to refuse, so he undid the zipper of his clothes and exposed the tattoo on his chest. The dragon tattoo on Wu Zhongyuan''s chest is not a complete dragon, but only the dragon''s head. It is located in the middle of the chest. The shape is irregular and the diameter is about fifteen centimeters. Whether its facial features or color, it differed greatly from the common dragon tattoos. "Can I take a photo?" President Wang asked Wu Zhongyuan for his opinion. Wu Zhongyuan wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind again. This tattoo may be related to his birth origin. If President Wang can find clues, he may be able to find his biological parents. With Wu Zhongyuan''s approval, President Wang took out his mobile phone and was about to take a picture, but at that time, his phone rang. Ch. 7 - Unknown Creatures President Wang''s voice was full of shock. Wu Zhongyuan couldn''t hear what was said on the other end of the phone, but he was sure it was not good."One more pair or one? Which two? Don''t say anymore. Fax the report to me, by the way, bring back the blood samples sent for inspection." President Wang said and hung up the phone. He did not hide it and said directly to Wu Zhongyuan''s puzzled face "Your blood test results are out." President Wang picked up his mobile phone and took a picture of the tattoo on Wu Zhongyuan''s chest before walking out of the room "I''ll go get the inspection report right away. You may take a seat for a while, I''ll be back soon." After President Wang left, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Director Li and Nurse Zhang. Although the two tried to remain calm, he could still see that they were nervous. "Director Li." Wu Zhongyuan looked at the lady doctor whose eyes shook in panic when she heard him calling her. "The 24 pairs that President Wang mentioned are chromosomes?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again. Director Li did not answer, but her surprised expression showed what Wu Zhongyuan guessed was right. Wu Zhongyuan calmed down when he knew he was right and said "It''s not hard to guess, except for chromosomes, other inspection items don''t seem to be described as ''pair''. Besides, this is a county hospital, except for DNA, everything else can be checked here." After Wu Zhongyuan finished, Director Li said unnaturally, "Chromosomes and DNA are not the same concepts, but you don''t have to be nervous, cases of chromosomal abnormalities are not uncommon." "You seem to be more nervous than me," Wu Zhongyuan said vigorously, forcing a smile on his face and continued "If it is a common abnormality, President Wang will not be so surprised." Director Li didn''t have an answer to his question. "I''m not a child anymore." Wu Zhongyuan added as a pun, implying don''t you dare try to fool me. President Wang left for longer than Wu Zhongyuan expected. After waiting for more than 20 minutes, he came back with a few pages of fax paper in his hand. As soon as President Wang entered the door, the three of them nervously looked at him, to be precise, the inspection report in his hand. President Wang did not show the inspection report to Director Li and Head Nurse Zhang, but said to them. "Will you two excuse us? I want to talk to him alone." President Wang''s words are very direct, so Director Li and Head Nurse Zhang had no second word but to leave. But in fact, they don''t want to go, at least they don''t want to go until they see the inspection report. When they left, President Wang walked to the door and was about to close it, he paused a bit then turned back and said to Wu Zhongyuan. "It''s cool outside, let''s go out for a walk." "Okay." Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement, the air in the ward made him feel depressed. President Wang took off his white coat and went downstairs with Wu Zhongyuan. The driver was still waiting but President Wang waved at him and asked him to leave. It was not dark yet, but the rush hour to get off work had passed, so the streets were empty. Several vendors were selling cold drinks and fruits at the hospital''s entrance, and it was not the time to close their stalls yet. When they saw President Wang, they all stood up and greeted him. President Wang politely nodded at them. "Zhongyuan, you have to be a bit mentally prepared." "You want to lock me up?" To lighten the tension in his heart, Wu Zhongyuan was half-joking. "That won''t happen," President Wang shook his head in denial, "but your blood results tests are very strange. I have never seen anything similar." "My chromosome is abnormal?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. He was only a senior in high school, knowing that there are chromosomes, but it was limited to what he knew. "Yes" President Wang nodded. There was a library next to the hospital. By this time the library was closed, but President Wang walked up the steps and sat on one of the upper steps. When Wu Zhongyuan joined him, the doctor handed the inspection report. Wu Zhongyuan looked over the inspection report, several reports were linked together since it was a fax document, and the numbers and words on it were not particularly clear. Wu Zhongyuan didn''t read it in detail, and after a few glances, he returned the inspection report to President Wang, "Tell me about it." President Wang was very pleased that Wu Zhongyuan trusted him so much, and his sincerity was exchanged for Wu Zhongyuan''s trust. "This sounds complicated, I''ll try to keep it simple," President Wang coughed twice, clearing his voice, "Chromosome is a substance in the cell''s nucleus, and its main function is to carry genetic information. People''s race, blood type, blood relationship and other information are relative to make an accurate judgment, normal chromosomes exist in pairs. Ordinary people have 23 pairs of chromosomes, 22 pairs are shared by males and females, and the remaining pair determines gender." Wu Zhongyuan did not interrupt when President Wang continued with an explanation, "Common chromosomal abnormalities are usually one more than 23 pairs, that is, 47, and there are many reasons for it. When Parents have diseases, drug abuse, and older childbirth may lead to chromosomal abnormalities. Chromosomal abnormalities are usually accompanied by intellectual disability and developmental disability..." President Wang stopped talking when someone came up from the sidewalk below and a cold drink vendor who graciously bought two bottles of mineral water. "President Wang, have some water." President Wang got up and refused, and the vendor put down the mineral water and went back in a hurry. \President Wang continued after the vendor left, "I just said that 47 chromosomes are the most common chromosomal abnormality. There are also 48 chromosomes, but they are no longer in pairs. The biggest difference between your situation and previous cases is not much. Two more chromosomes, but the two outside the 23 pairs of chromosomes appear in pairs." "Why do they appear in pairs?" Wu Zhongyuan eagerly asked. "Not sure, there are no similar cases for reference in yours." President Wang slowly shook his head. "You just said that by testing chromosomes, you can determine what nationality a person is." Wu Zhongyuan said. "Race and ethnicity are not the same concepts," President Wang corrected himself. "Through the test of your normal 23 pairs of chromosomes, it has been determined that you might belong to the narrow sense of Han Chinese ." "What is a narrow sense of Han Chinese?" Wu Zhongyuan didn''t quite understand what he just heard. "It''s the part of Han people whose ancestors have never intermarried with ethnic minorities. The number of these people is not many, but it''s not too small." President Wang explained patiently. A lifted a bit of weight from his heart after listening to President Wang''s explanation. "Then what happened to my extra pair of chromosomes?" President Wang unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "You lost too much blood. We thought about blood transfusion for you at first. The blood transfusion procedures in regular hospitals are very strict. Before blood transfusion, detailed blood tests are required. The blood samples we tested are collected from your wounds. The test indicators are very different from normal indicators. We have no way to conduct further analysis, so we can only send someone to the provincial capital for testing, to find out the exact cause of your abnormal blood." When Wu Zhongyuan showed his intention to interrupt, President Wang raised his hand, "Our hospital''s testing equipment is not top-notch, and it is impossible to distinguish whether the abnormal components in your blood are inherited or mixed with trauma. Let me give an example of a patient bitten by a mad dog, the blood flowing out of the wound may be mixed with the genetic components of the dog, and at this time, the intervention of more sophisticated testing equipment is required to distinguish it." "My head was injured by an iron pipe." Wu Zhongyuan said and President Wang nodded. "These are not important anymore. Now the test results have come out. Your chromosomal abnormality is from the congenital inheritance, and it is not a disease." "What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan wondered. "You are healthy and normal, but this kind of health and normality is only relative." President Wang commented. "What is relative?" Wu Zhongyuan was at a loss. President Wang did not answer him immediately, so he stared at the doctor, waiting for a reply. After contemplating for a long time, President Wang spoke again "The so-called relative means that although your development will be normal, due to the particularity of your genes, if the XY chromosome in your body gets combined with a female''s XX chromosome, the offspring might have some unpredictable mutations. " Wu Zhongyuan was stunned when he heard, "Do you mean that if I get married, the children will be monsters?" "No, no," President Wang waved his hands again and again in denial, "Mutation is not necessarily bad. It may be good. We must know that we humans have also undergone many mutations in the long evolutionary process." Accepting so many shocking things all at once, Wu Zhongyuan was a little stunned, and he didn''t know what to say for a while. President Wang patted the young man''s shoulder and spoke again "Be strong." S?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Wu Zhongyuan nodded and took a sip. "We have also tested the extra pair of chromosomes you have." President Wang informed in an excited tone. "What''s the result?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. "The two extra chromosomes you have are inherited from your father and mother respectively. These two chromosomes belong to two different unknown organisms, and they do not completely match the gene maps of known species recorded in the province. In addition, cross-species Genetic breeding is also unreasonable in terms of genetics." Even after explaining the results to him, President Wang''s face was full of doubts. Wu Zhongyuan nodded blankly. After tossing around for a day, he was already exhausted "President Wang, can you make it simpler, I''m a little confused." "I also wanted to answer your question, but I can''t figure it out myself. I think it is better to end this conversation today. Let me ask the driver to take you back." President Wang took out his mobile phone and called the driver. "President Wang, I have another question." Wu Zhongyuan grabbed the doctor''s attention once again. "Why are you being so good to me? You could have hidden these things for me." Wu Zhongyuan said. "Well, I could''ve hid it. But I was hoping to gain your trust and cooperation" President Wang honestly admitted, "your situation is extremely rare, and it has high research value for medicine and genetics." Although President Wang was sincere, Wu Zhongyuan still felt prickly in his heart. After all, being studied as a laboratory specimen is not always a pleasant thing. Soon, the driver drove over, President Wang stood up and walked down the steps with Wu Zhongyuan "How is your academic performance? The college entrance examination is coming soon, are you preparing for the upcoming test?" "I''m good." Wu Zhongyuan replied casually. "Have you thought about the major you want to apply for?" President Wang asked again. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. He wanted to apply for the military academy or the police academy so that he wouldn''t have to pay the tuition fees. After graduation, he would be an officer or a police officer. Unfortunately, he could only think about it, because neither of these two types of schools would admit candidates with tattoos. "Go back and pay attention to rest and study with peace of mind. If there is any new progress in the genetic map comparison, I will notify you." President Wang suggested and Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement. But when he suddenly remembered something, Wu Zhongyuan stopped the doctor with another question."You just said those two extra chromosomes I have don''t completely match any known species?" "Yes." President Wang said. "Are there any similarities?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. "I''m assuming that you don''t know much about genes," President Wang commented while shaking his head, "Many species have similar genes. Our genes are very similar to those of gorillas. Sometimes just a small genetic difference may lead to huge individual and morphological differences. " "Oh." Wu Zhongyuan nodded blankly. When President found that Wu Zhongyuan was very frustrated, he couldn''t help but explain more"There is indeed no specific result of the comparison. It is difficult to determine the exact source of these two chromosomes, and we can only determine the type." "What type?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. Ch. 8 - Masters Heritage After listening to what President Wang had said, Wu Zhongyuan was not depressed but felt rather fortunate. He worried about having chromosomes from mammals and birds, but these two chromosomes are always much better than those inherited from insects and reptiles. President Wang walked to the car and opened the door for Wu Zhongyuan, "Here, get in the car." It was an expensive Audi and Wu Zhongyuan looked inside the spacious and clean car but refused to get inside since he had dirt all over him. "I''d better go back by myself." President Wang did not answer, but pushed him inside the car and closed the door in an instant. The driver wisely lowered the glass of the rear window when Wu Zhongyuan seemed to have something to say to President Wang. Wu Zhongyuan leaned out and asked, "President Wang, what effect do they have on me?" President Wang knew what Wu Zhongyuan was asking, but some things were inconvenient for the driver to know, so he kept his reply vague. "At present, it doesn''t matter, they haven''t done anything, they have been resting." Wu Zhongyuan didn''t ask anymore, and after thanking him, the car drove off. Even though Wu Zhongyuan rode in a car before, he had never been in such a good car. It almost felt like he was sitting on a burning seat, because of his fear of dirtying other people''s car seat cushions. He did not dare to lean back at will. The driver asked anything other than where Wu Zhongyuan wished to go and drove quietly. After half an hour, they arrived at the school gate. Wu Zhongyuan thanked the driver before getting out of the car with his bag, and walked towards the school with a blank mind. The security guard who got beaten last night was on duty. He stared at Wu Zhongyuan in confusion and surprise when he saw the boy get out of the Audi. Wu Zhongyuan ignored the guard since he was physically and mentally exhausted. He just wanted to get back to his room and sleep. It was dinner time and the campus was packed with people. Some of his classmates saw Wu Zhongyuan and called him from a distance, inviting him to eat in the cafeteria, but Zhongyuan waved back at them. Even though he was indeed a bit hungry, he wished to sleep more than to have a meal. He had to report his absence first before having a meal. So he went back to the dormitory, changed into school uniform, and went to the headteacher to cancel his leave. Since it was already dark and the light was not good, the headteacher did not notice his head injury. After canceling the leave he went to the canteen and called Lin Qingming''s colleague. Since Lin Qingming didn''t have a mobile phone, his emergency contact number was one of his colleagues. After confirming that Lin Qingming was back and went to mine, Wu Zhongyuan left the canteen. He was about to go to the dormitory when he heard someone call him. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. It was Huang Ping, who waved at him while standing outside the school gate. Huang Ping came here for only one purpose, she must have been unable to contact Lin Qingming and wanted to know how they handled the matter. Maybe, she was more concerned about how Lin Qingming was doing, and Wu Zhongyuan said what he could say but hid something that she was not supposed to know. If he tells Huang Ping about something, she might leak it out. Huang Ping is beautiful and has good morals. But in addition to the lack of higher education, she had another disadvantage - she had a "best friend forever" who works in the factory and grew up in the same village. This is something Lin Qingming doesn''t like about Huang Pin. In Lin Qingming''s opinion, a woman with a best friend forever is immature and cannot keep secrets. Huang Ping finally felt relieved when she confirmed that Lin Qingming was all right. She stuffed Wu Zhongyuan''s hands with the snacks she brought and then left. Wu Zhongyuan didn''t want Huang Ping''s things, because Lin Qingming told him not to take anything from her, and also tell her nothing, including the cell phone number of his colleague at the mine. But Huang Ping couldn''t meet Lin Qingming at all, so she would bring things every once in a while to please her future brother-in-law, which led many people to misunderstand that Huang Ping was his girlfriend. When Wu Zhongyuan finally reached his room, he felt relaxed. His mind was empty, so he laid on his back and fell asleep. Not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by roommates who returned from their evening self-study and made a lot of noise. Although he was awake, Wu Zhongyuan did not open his eyes, as he thought about what happened during the day. Since there has been no problem until now, he assumed that the gangster leader did not inform the police about the beating incident or where his master''s tomb was kept. The only thing that bothered him right now was his medical situation. All these years Wu Zhingyuan only knew that he was an orphan adopted by his master, and wasn''t interested in finding out what life he used to live before that. But what he experienced today made him want to search about his past. Since President Wang said that his two extra chromosomes belong to mammals and birds, respectively, he couldn''t help but think about the strange human-shaped skeleton in the coffin that had a bird''s beak. If the chromosomes are normal, a person will never grow a bird''s beak, which means that the corpse also had a chromosomal abnormality, like him, and it might have related to him in some way. His first assumption was that the corpse in the coffin must be his father, but when he remembered president Wang''s words about his genetic sequence, he quickly rejected that idea. He had two extra chromosomes, the mammalian one was inherited from the father, and the bird''s one was inherited from the mother. Since the skeleton in the coffin belonged to a male, it ruled out the possibility of his father. But this corpse is obviously related to him. Maybe, he might have stayed with this birdman when he was a baby and later, the birdman might have died for unknown reasons. Master must have buried the birdman and adopted him. Even though it was rude to describe the corpse as a birdman, Wu Zhongyuan couldn''t think of a more appropriate way to address it than the birdman. If he used to live with this birdman, then he might have had a very close relationship. Could this birdman be his uncle? Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan couldn''t help but imagine a woman with a bird''s beak in his mind, but he quickly drove this image out of his mind. First, he couldn''t accept this image of his mother, and secondly, he''s afraid that no man will like a woman with a beak, In fact, it is not impossible to determine what relationship he had with the strange corpse. Now that science and technology are advanced, he could obtain an accurate result if he dug out the skeleton for DNA testing. However, he doesn''t want to take it this way for the time being. President Wang may explain the abnormal chromosomes as an accidental disease to the world. But once people know that there is a situation similar to him, he''s afraid that it will arouse curiosity and interest in the research of relevant departments, and then wait to get arrested. The reason why his Master quietly buried the corpse back then was probably also for this reason. He wanted to protect the birdman and didn''t want the world to know that he was different from others. Regarding the strange corpse, there was another detail, that is, the corpse was buried without any clothes. This shouldn''t be his master''s actions, since he was a Taoist priest, and treated no different when someone is dead or alive. So, it was impossible to leave the other party''s clothes behind. There is a chance he might find out something about his past if he asks his senior brother. Qingming weaned Wu Zhongyuan when he was adopted by his master. Babies have to be breastfed as soon as they are born and stop feeding them milk when they are one or two years old. Since Ling Qingming weaned him it possibly meant that he wasn''t a newborn baby when he got adopted. Lin Qingming should have been four or five years old at that time, so he might be able to remember something. But after thinking about it carefully, Wu Zhongyuan rejected his idea. His senior brother is very tight-lipped, not to mention that it is unlikely that he knows the truth. Even if he knew something, no one would hear a word from him if he kept his mouth shut. It is no wonder that he doesn''t like Huang Ping, who spills out everything to a BFF. After thinking for a while, Wu Zhongyuan rolled over and sat up to take the bag under the bed. He had the bundle of books left by the master, and he might be able to find some clues from them. Since the college entrance examination is coming soon, the students are busy reviewing their lessons, so the school doesn''t have strict rules about turning off the dorm lights. He untied the strings that bound the books and began to read them one by one. The first book was "Tao Te Ching," an old manuscript. He looked over it, but when he found there was nothing special about it, he put it down. The second book is "Lao Tzu Xishengjing". When the master was alive, he did not teach the two of them to recite the sutra, so he did not know whether the writings in the book were true or not. When Wu Zhongyuan saw his classmate using a computer, he recited a sentence at random and asked the other to search it on the Internet to make sure it was scripture. A stack of books were Taoist scriptures which included the morning and evening class scriptures. Unfortunately, those were not rare books, and their recorded content can be found on the web. There was also a small book, which recorded the Master''s experience in practicing medicine. It had some of the experiences of using the folk formula to cure diseases, when to use rat feces to cure sores, and when to use cicada to cure the night terrors of children. The book was so thick that it was impossible to read all at once. In addition to these, there are four other books, "The Secret Art of Popularity" about light-weight kung fu, and "Practicing Qi and Strengthening Bones" about practicing qi kung fu. These two kung fu books were the ones his master had taught him and his senior brothers when he was alive. Ch. 9 - Dust Covered Clues Wu Zhongyuan didn''t immediately open these two books which he picked from a pile of old books, hesitating whether to read or not. If the contents of these two books were helpful to him and his senior brother, their master would have taught them long ago when he was alive. And the reason why the master did not teach them before his death means that learning the contents of these two books must be harmful to them, or at least the master thought so.But these two books should have something good to read. If they were all by-products of feudal superstition, then Master would have surely burned them before he died. Since Master did not do that but hid them on the ceiling, which showed that Master himself was also contradictory. He must have felt that he shouldn''t teach these books to them but was reluctant to burn them, so he could only hide them in a hidden place. Whether two brothers can find these, relies on the will of God and the luck of the two. Hesitating and unsure, Wu Zhongyuan picked up the Kanyu ( geomantic omen) Thirty-Six Laws. He wanted to open it but hesitated again. Now is the era of science, and these mysterious things are often associated with liars. Hope he won''t get crazy after reading it. He finally opened it up after thinking for a while. Whether this thing is the wisdom of the ancients or the lingering poison of superstition, it can only be judged after reading it. A great man once said that there is no right to speak without investigation. So to investigate first, use a scientific perspective and a critical attitude to examine objectively. The first page contained the author''s or maybe the transcriber''s message for future generations. It was written vertically in traditional Chinese characters. The difference between traditional Chinese and simplified characters was not very big and definitely not difficult to read. ''Born, empty-handed, Die, followed by nothing. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded and repented. Borrowed must be repaid.'' "That''s fair, but a little pessimistic." Wu Zhongyuan said to himself. The classmates who didn''t sleep in the dormitory answered casually, "Zhongyuan, what are you looking at?" "The history of the development of ancient literature." Wu Zhongyuan casually said. "We are about to go to the battlefield. Are you sure you will pass the exam?" The classmates said as if the battlefield refers to the upcoming college entrance examination. "I''m sure I''ll flunk the exam." Wu Zhongyuan said as he turned to the second page again. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was absent-minded, his classmates ignored him and adjusted their glasses to immerse their eyes into the lessons. The second page was the catalog, which was divided into three chapters: First, Second, and Final. The names of the chapters surprised Wu Zhongyuan. The first chapter was about supporting the family while the second chapter was about seeking wealth from danger, and the final chapter was about repaying life and death. It was the first time Wu Zhongyuan has seen these kinds of titles. It stands to reason that mysterious things are often named very high and holy, but these titles were very common, not pleasant to be heard, and not detached from the normal. The book was not thick since it had only a few dozen pages, and it was all about the content and methods related to any ( geomantic omen ). The so-called kanyu does not only refer to feng shui but also includes a lot of content such as stargazing, time selection, location selection, house determination, etc. He doesn''t have time to take a closer look so he quickly skimmed through the contents. As if he got lost in the mist he only understood that each page records a lot of difficult concepts with the same type of content. Counting in detail, the main body of the book has a total of thirty-six pages, the first chapter was twenty-seven, the middle chapter was six, and the final chapter was three. After reading the whole book, Wu Zhongyuan finally understood why the author or the transcriber named such an ambiguous title. Many of these methods related to Kanyu were achieved at the expense of their lifespan. Most of the methods recorded in the first chapter were daily content that will be used, such as naming a child, and looking at the feng shui of the house; these have little effect on oneself since he/she can earn a little money and support the family by helping others. The content recorded in the second chapter was more dangerous. Once it is done, it is very likely to hurt oneself, but because of the danger, the reward is good. If you help the dignitaries and nobles, you will naturally get more money, so it is called rich and risk-seeking. The final chapter was only three pages, all recorded were the essence of Kanyu, there were mysterious methods of prolonging life and changing one''s faith by Qi ( one''s energy ). Correspondingly, the price to pay is also very high. To repay life and death, doing this kind of thing is no longer for money, but often to repay the great kindness of others. After reading the Thirty-Six Methods of Kanyu, Wu Zhongyuan did not remember what the specific methods of Kanyu were. The most impressive thing was that people could not tell fortune-telling randomly, because fortune-telling is classified as divination. Divination was in the second chapter of the Thirty-Six Methods of Kanyu, which is very serious. A very serious matter, it doesn''t matter if the calculation was wrong or right. If the calculation was right, it would reveal the secret, but it would cost one, nine days life span. The re-pay lifespan recorded in the book was calculated by nine, the least was one-ninth, then two ninths, then three until the nine ninths, nine times nine is eighty-one days the most serious one, you might die suddenly. From this, it can be seen that the fortune-telling stalls on the street are all liars, and they are really capable of lying. Who would exchange their nine-day life for the ten and twenty dollars, even paying the hundred won''t do. After reading the whole book, he concluded that the book did have some personality, but after thinking about it for a long time, it is difficult to judge whether this book was ancient wisdom or superstition. The reason is very simple. Try -it -yourself. It is already midnight, and he is the only one left in the dormitory who didn''t sleep. Wu Zhongyuan is not sleepy since he slept earlier, so he took out the Messed Drawing Talisman to read. The content recorded in this book was even more outrageous. It was all about the methods of catching ghosts and exorcizing evil spirits. Drawing talismans was only one of the common methods. There were also some strange methods which came from folk tale accumulation and were different from the practice of orthodox Taoist talismans. Therefore, the book was called " Messed Drawing Talismans", and avoids being painfully corrected when encountering other orthodox Taoists. In addition, the transcriber of this book and the transcriber of Kanyu Thirty-Six Methods should not be the same person, because the handwriting was different. Compared with Kanyu''s Thirty-Six Methods, this book was less credible. Kanyu''s Thirty-Six Methods can still be tried by himself. This one can''t even be tried. Where can he find ghosts these days? By the time he finished reading the Messed Drawing Talismans, it was after one o''clock at night. Wu Zhongyuan re-bundled the books and put them under the bed. The college entrance examination was about to take place. He doesn''t have time to read them. He must get up early the next day and everything will go as per its routine. The college entrance examination is imminent, and there are endless mock exams. For the college entrance examination, Wu Zhongyuan is confident, but it is limited to passing the admission score. His grades for subjects were good, except mathematics. They said that interest is the best teacher but he has no interest in mathematics at all and unfortunately mathematics is mandatory for both liberal arts and sciences. Although he is poor, he has no subsidy from the school, nor is there any charity to help him. This is not because the school does not have corresponding policies, nor that no one is willing to fund him, but Lin Qingming does not let him accept help from others. Lin Qingming always said that human debt is the most difficult thing to repay, and it is best not to ask people for things that can be handled by themselves. On the eve of the college entrance examination, Lin Qingming called and told Wu Zhongyuan that he does not want to work in a mine anymore, and wants to go back to work in Huang County. Also, there has been no movement from the hospital''s side for the past few days, which made Wu Zhongyuan relieved. He doesn''t have to be afraid of his affairs being leaked out and being arrested by the relevant departments for observation and research, at least for now. The college entrance examination was approaching, and students appeared alert as if they were facing enemies on a battlefield. Wu Zhongyuan wasn''t too nervous, since he can''t apply for the military and police academies and he had no interest in other schools. Students spend more in university than in high school, and one has to study for four years to graduate. So it is better to study at a three-year junior college, and it can also relieve a little bit of pressure on his brother. After the exam, the students were both nervous and excited. They gathered together to discuss in advance what university and major to apply for while looking forward to picture-perfect college life. Wu Zhongyuan was very inactive in this regard. The reason is very simple, Everything will be easy and perfect once someone gets into the university, and it''s the perfect time to spend your youth by falling in love. And love costs money, since he has no extra money, and his genes are abnormal, he will not think about it. He doesn''t want any girl getting hurt. Although he had no intention to fall in love, he knew that some female classmates likes him, not because he was good looking. To be honest, he wasn''t a handsome boy nor his academic performance was excellent, but still, some female classmates liked him. He couldn''t figure out the reason, maybe it was because of the lack of boys in the liberal arts class. It''s about time to leave high school, the adolescence of boys and girls has reached its peak, and the feeling of parting has evolved into emotional blindness. The usual graduation and leaving school are fantasized by the boys and girls who are in love with each other as if they are going to have a tragic life and are going to be parted by death. The small hotel outside the school, under the big tree on campus, in the dormitory, and in the classroom, every place resounded the blind instinctive impulses and shallow and cheap vows everywhere. Wu Zhongyuan received two love letters and a new mobile phone in one day. The writing was full of romance and touching words, but after reading it, Wu Zhongyuan found that he is not the person in the letters the two girls like. As described, He is just a carrier of the emotional fantasy of the girls'' emotions. The one who sent the cell phone was from the same town as him, and she is indeed pretty. The cell phone was packed in a big envelope. In addition to the cell phone, there was a note with only one sentence on it, ''I don''t want to lose contact with you. '' This confession was affectionate and direct, but Wu Zhongyuan still returned the phone to the girl. Well, it was not the first time that this female classmate had given boys a phone, and he had seen her often meet different men at the school gate. It is true that every beautiful face has a beautiful soul, and not every beautiful word has a beautiful truth. Finally, Lin Qingming came. He came in a Mercedes-Benz sedan and was well dressed, unlike his usual appearance that Wu Zhongyuan almost didn''t recognize his brother. Lin Qingming came and went in a hurry, said a few words briefly, and left a mobile phone and two thousand yuan with him. The Mercedes-Benz sedan was naturally not Lin Qingming''s, but Zhao Dazhong''s. Zhao Dazhong was a famous person who is engaged in real estate and Lin Qingming was his bodyguard. So he borrowed the car to visit his brother at the school. Zhao Dazhong is the richest man in Huang County and is well-known in the country. The resort business is one of his subsidiaries. It''s not hard to guess why Zhao Dazhong asked Lin Qingming to be his bodyguard. The group of ruffians managed by the man in the beach shirt, all had their legs broken, and the medical expenses were inevitable. It must be reported to Zhao Dazhong, also it is not hard to guess why Lin Qingming was willing to be someone''s bodyguard. It is for the money. Since Wu Zhongyuan will soon go to college, The money Lin Qingming earns in the mines won''t be enough to pay his tuition and living expenses. Watching the car disappear, Wu Zhongyuan returned to the dormitory worriedly. When the master was alive, he always warned the two not to show their martial arts in front of others. By agreeing to become a bodyguard, Lin Qingmin violated their master''s warning, and he did it all for his brother. After the college entrance examination, the students left the school one after another, and soon the dormitory was empty. He had nowhere to go. The school knew his situation and temporarily let him live in the dormitory. When the old house was there, he had a home to go to during the holidays, but now that their house is gone, he is homeless now. On the first day of the summer vacation, he took the initiative to go to Huang Ping and told her about Lin Qingming''s situation. Huang Ping was indeed surprised. Needless to say, Lin Qingming had not told her that he had come to the county town. Wu Zhongyuan had the intention to say something more, but when he saw that Huang Ping''s mood was low, he didn''t say anything. What could he say to make her stop her futile efforts? Or should she be brave enough to persevere? The vacation is very long, Wu Zhongyuan is reluctant to waste it, so he decided to find a short-term job to earn some money. But finding a temporary job was not easy to find within the first day. Back in the dormitory at night, with nothing to do, he took out the bundle of old books from under the bed and read it at will. He was not interested in the scriptures, and he felt that it is not appropriate to read more of those two books which were not classified as ancient wisdom or superstition. There were many real cases and many effective remedies left by his Master in the book of Practice of Medicine. He decided to take a look at it, hoping that he might use the information in the future. After reading two pages, Wu Zhongyuan discovered a detail- these experiences were written by Master in his later years. Although there was no specific time or patient''s name, it did contain the patient''s age, gender and specific symptoms. When he was a child, he nearly vomited blood and died. It was his master who cured and adopted him. If there is such an accident, there would be a record of it. As long as he finds his record, he can learn about some of the situations at that time. S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. In addition, the strange corpse in the coffin was buried by the master himself. If that person was probably alive when he met the master and must have communicated with each other. Otherwise, the master would not be willing to give the birdman his coffin. If Wu Zhongyuan is lucky enough, maybe there would be records about him in this medical experience. Ch. 10 - Sandalwood Scent Unlike the other cases, two cases did not record the patient''s names and histories, nor did they have a specific date, but still can find clues from some details.According to the records of this particular case, the age of this adult man was ''around the year of not confused'', that is, about forty years old, which was different from the previous cases. In other cases, the patient''s age was specified but not on this entry. ''Around the year of not confused'' is a general concept. In traditional Chinese medicine, the patient''s age greatly influences diagnosis, treatment and prescription. His master would never use such an ambiguous statement unless he was unaware of the patient''s age. It was evident that the master could not determine the specific age of this male patient at that time. In addition, the case also recorded that '' the adult man''s words were so urgent that blood spilt out of his mouth and nose. '' This sentence means that the blood spilt as long as the person spoke too much or he spoke too fast, which shows that this adult man could speak at that time. If the patient could speak at the moment, then why didn''t Master ask about his right age? As for this person''s symptoms, the master''s record was, "Frequent coughing and vomiting of blood, shortness of breath, swollen face, numbness of hands and feet, and repeated tugging of long hair to prevent headaches." Master was from the older generation, and the words used to record medical records and cases were relatively simple, But Wu Zhongyuan had followed Master for many years and had become familiar with his note-taking habit, and keenly found another clue from this passage, When this man had an unbearable headache, he would pull his long hair. It was something he had overlooked before. After recalling carefully, he was forced to accept the truth that the rotten corpse he saw in the coffin that day indeed had long hair. Regarding this person''s disease, the master used the exclusion method, firstly he excluded common cough, then excluded wheezing, hissing, and Asthma, since the patient''s condition did not worsen when he was lying on his back. Then he ruled out tuberculosis since the patient was not thin. In the end, it was diagnosed that this person had a disease that affected the lungs, which is also known as lung cancer at this time. The medicines used were raw astragalus, raw atractylodes, dried almond, aster, winter flower, earthworm, ephedra and raw liquorice. After the consumption of medicine, a slight improvement was observed. On the second day of consumption, ''The wheezing is slightly flat, but the hemoptysis still persists. '' Master used three sets of medicines, and it was evident that this person received three days of treatment. It was recorded in the case that ''In the morning and night, the disease is relieved. However, during the early morning and evening hours, the patient''s condition got aggravated.'' This also means that the treatment was in progress. During the period, Master stayed with this person all the time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to observe so meticulously. Master did not record the final result of the treatment. But according to the fact that the amount of prescript medicinal herbs had been increasing or decreasing, he could assume that Master failed to find an effective treatment. Then there was the record about the eight-month-old baby. If there are no mistakes, this eight-month-old baby should be Wu Zhongyuan. As for the baby''s age, master has recorded ''about eight months of tooth age'', which means that the master judged his age based on the teeth he had just grown and not from the words of the grown man. Since this man can speak, and he stayed with Master for three days, then why didn''t the two communicate? Could this grown man be a lunatic? After carefully thinking about it, Wu Zhongyuan rejected the possibility because Master would never record this case if the patient was a lunatic. The baby''s symptoms were similar to those of that man, except that they were not as severe. Master did not specify what was wrong with him but only wrote down the names and dosages of the herbs used to calm the lungs and relieve cough. By going through the notes, it can be seen that Master was very puzzled at the time because the baby had the same symptoms as the adult man. And according to Master''s diagnosis of the adult man, it must be lung cancer. However, cancer is not contagious and Master might have known that his diagnosis was incorrect. After carefully reading these two records, Wu Zhongyuan became more and more puzzled. The clues sorted out from the cases were fragmented. First, he was with the man in the coffin at that time. Second, he was only eight months old when he met his master. Third, the man lived for three more days after treatment by the Master; he could talk but did not communicate with the Master. Fourth, he and this man had the same disease at the time. There was also proof that this man used to wear clothes when he met Master, "There are two bloodstains on the front of his clothes, which should be left behind by vomiting blood." The man was wearing clothes at the time, then why was he buried naked? Could it be that Master was worried that it may be some infectious disease and burned his clothes? Wu Zhongyuan ruminated over another thought, No. It is not right. Even though there is no difference between burning and burying, burying people naked was disrespectful to the dead. The dormitory was very quiet that night, so Wu Zhongyuan worked hard to sort out many clues in his mind, but not only the clues were small fragments, but also very strange and suspicious. Master did not mention anything unusual about the man''s appearance in the case, which failed to make any sense at all. If Master knew that this person had a beak, it would have been impossible to treat him as an ordinary person. Moreover, although the Master was a Taoist priest, he was not very courageous. If this person had a beak, he would have been frightened. It''s a pity that Master didn''t have the habit of keeping a diary, and right now, the only journals that were left behind were case reports, not diaries. The clues were incomplete and fragmented, and it appeared difficult to connect them. It doesn''t feel good to be kept in the dark. The more he failed to figure out, the more dubious Wu Zhongyuan grew, and the more dubious he turned, he was eager to seek the truth. Thinking is very tiring, and critical thinking was even more tiring. Soon Wu Zhongyuan was exhausted and turned groggy as he wanted nothing but sleep. Even though he sat on the bed and unbuttoned his shirt, his mind was still in doubts, All of a sudden, a flash of inspiration popped into his mind. "Clothes," Although Master''s medical record did not specify what clothes the patient wore at that time, there was a sentence, '' There is a foreign fragrance on baby''s swaddling clothes., which should be the soothing sandalwood. '' Wu Zhongyuan couldn''t remember what his swaddle looked like, and he had never heard about it from Master, but he knew that both his and Lin Qingming''s mosquito nets had purple patches. The patches were scented with sandalwood to repel mosquitoes. Lin Qingming had taken his mosquito net to the mine a few years ago and he might have thrown it away by now. Since Wu Zhongyuan had to go to the school dorm, so his patched mosquito net was left at home. The patch on the mosquito net was part of his swaddling clothes, which is also an important clue. He is overjoyed when found this clue, but the joy quickly turned into annoyance when he suddenly recalled his home got demolished. It must have been seven or eight days, and what was leftover might have been pulled away already. He couldn''t fall asleep while thinking about it. Well, he can''t wait for dawn to come, so he quickly put on his shoes and ran downstairs. It was late at night, so he didn''t go through the gate, but jumped over the wall while performing his inner energy for light kungfu. After running for a few miles, he suddenly remembered something, Oops, there were surveillance cameras everywhere, He was worried about how to explain his actions if he got caught by surveillance cameras. He had some money, but he was reluctant to use it. So he climbed over the trucks at the intersection and went home. When he reached the mountain''s foot and saw the pile of ruins, he felt relieved. Practising Qi (inner energy ) was part of Kungfu training and those who practice qi can see things clearly at night, even if there is no proper light. Without wasting time, he began to rummage through the ruins. Luckily, the mosquito net with two purple patches was still there. He quickly tore them off and sniffed them, Even though it started to fade, the scent of sandalwood was still there. He packed three packets of apricots and took the early bus on his way back to the dorm. After getting on the bus, he gave the driver a packet in gratitude to send him to the hospital when he fainted on the bus. He also wanted to give Lin Qingming the apricots, so he called his brother when he arrived at the county station. However, Lin Qingming was with his boss to the capital on a business trip and got to know that his brother was not in the county. Wu Zhongyuan hung up the phone and went to the factory where Huang Ping works so that he could give her a pack of apricots. Since Lin Qingming was away, he was left with an extra packet. He cannot have it, so, he decided to go to the hospital and visit President Wang. Last time, they waved off the medical expenses and sent him home by car, so this can be a " Thank you " present. President Wang did not expect that Wu Zhongyuan would take the initiative to look for him and it was indeed a surprise to see him. President Wang politely sent away his visitors and enthusiastically welcomed Wu Zhongyuan. Sometimes, what people value is just an attitude. President Wang has had plenty of valuable gifts, but he was very happy to accept Wu Zhongyuan''s apricots. It shows that this young man is a polite person who repays his gratitude. Without waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to speak, President Wang right away talked about his blood sample. The blood test has no news yet. To avoid the results affecting Wu Zhongyuan''s life, President Wang did not conduct an open detailed test in the country. Few blood samples managed to be entrusted and taken abroad to do the test by an old classmate, but he didn''t receive any response yet. However, there has been some progress regarding the tattoos on Wu Zhongyuan''s body. The dragon head tattoo on Wu Zhongyuan''s chest was very different from the common dragon shape in modern times, and there was nothing similar to it. However, President Wang''s scholar friend has seen similar dragon-shaped patterns. He took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album, before handing it over to Wu Zhongyuan, "Look at it yourself. There are several pictures." Wu Zhongyuan took the mobile phone and looked at each picture carefully. It was the photo of a bronzeware that he could not name, but it had a whole dragon cast on it. Looking closely at the dragon head, it did look somewhat similar to his tattoo but was not the same. "This was a sacrificial copper bottle from the Shang Dynasty." President Wang said as Wu Zhongyuan returned the phone to its owner, "It''s a bit similar, but the dragon''s beard and the horns are different, and the eyes are also different. That dragon has bigger eyes than mine." "You''re right," President Wang nodded in agreement, "I have also compared the pictures carefully. There are indeed differences, but overall they are still very similar. It is inconvenient for me to expand the scope of research making sure that it won''t affect your normal life. It is uncertain which of these patterns is older and unfortunately, it is impossible to verify the patterns on a larger resource, that too in a short period." "Thank you, President Wang." Wu Zhongyuan said. President Wang waved his hand and then asked, "Have you finished your exams? How was it?" "It''s okay," Wu Zhongyuan replied. President Wang knew of Wu Zhongyuan''s situation, so he made an offer. "If there is no other arrangement, then why don''t you work on a part-time job in the hospital to earn some experience in advance?" "Thank you, President Wang." Wu Zhongyuan who was surprised to hear such an offer sprang up from his seat and thanked the doctor. "What kind of work do you like?" "As long as not the night shift in the morgue, everything else is fine," Wu Zhongyuan smilingly said. "Hahaha," President Wang broke into a cheerful laugh when he heard the young man''s answer, "the hospital''s morgues are locked, so there''s no need to have a guard. So let''s appoint you to direct the parking." All Wu Zhongyuan could do was thank him again. President Wang picked up the phone on the table and dialled the extension number, "Is there a place to live?" "I still live in the dorm." Wu Zhongyuan honestly admitted. "The school is too far from here, come and stay here. I''ll arrange a room for you." As he spoke, the phone got connected, President Wang briefly said a few words and hung up the phone, "You go to the eighth floor and ask for Section Chief Gao, and he will make arrangements for you." Wu Zhongyuan thanked president Wang and got up to leave, but he could walk out of the room. "Is there anything else?" President Wang inquired when he saw the boy''s hesitation. Wu Zhongyuan stopped in his tracks and turned around "President Wang, I have something here. Can you find someone to test it for me?" "What things?" President Wang asked in doubt. Wu Zhongyuan walked back to the table and took out the patch from his pocket, "This." President Wang picked up the patch and carefully studied it. "The hospital can''t run tests for these kinds of things. What is this? Where did you find it?" "This was the quilt wrapped on me when I was a baby." Wu Zhongyuan admitted. When President Wang heard this, he hurriedly gets up from his seat. "Let''s go, I''ll take you to a place to test this." "It''s okay. You are busy and I''m not in a hurry." Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed. s?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. "You''re not in a hurry but I am. I haven''t slept well in the past few days." President Wang opened the door and walked out. When they reached the eighth floor, President Wang went to explain a few words to Section Chief Gao himself, and even walked Wu Zhongyuan downstairs, only to take him somewhere in his car. "Go to the Institute of Botany." He instructed the car driver. Once the car started running, Wu Zhongyuan asked again, "President Wang, I have another question for you." "Yes." President Wang said as he still kept looking at the patch. "Is there a disease that causes coughing and vomiting blood, shortness of breath, swelling of the face, and numbness of hands and feet?" "According to your description, this should be an acute disease of the respiratory system." President Wang casually replied. "When the patient is in pain, he or she can''t help but pull hair." Wu Zhongyuan added. President Wang frowned slightly as he started to think hard, but did not answer. Wu Zhongyuan added more details when his supplements failed to provide President Wang with plausible proof for judgement. "The symptoms of this disease can be relieved at 9, 10 am morning and 9, 10 pm night, and gets worse at 3 or 4 in the afternoon and the early morning." "Insufficient oxygen supply," President Wang immediately made an accurate judgment, "This disease is directly related to the change in air pressure within a day. So it is also related to the altitude. The situation you mentioned will occur when the people from here suddenly appear on Mount Everest ." "Apart from the altitude difference, is there any other possibility?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. Ch. 11 - Extinct Plants Wu Zhongyuan nodded at President Wang''s judgment which was similar to his Master''s diagnosis, but more detailed. But, the lack of enough clues made it hard to sort it out clearly. "Why are you asking this?" President Wang asked. Wu Zhongyuan glanced at President Wang but did not answer, not because he intended to hide it, but because he did not know where to start. When he did not hear any reply from Wu Zhongyuan, Presiden Wang spoke again. "Last time, I examined it and found tissue leftover from your lungs." Wu Zhongyuan still kept quiet since he doesn''t want to answer because of the driver who was also present with them. It is not convenient for the two to discuss too much in the car. Not long after, the car arrived at a compound of an old building with many signs hanging on the door. There were animal research institutes, botanical research institutes, and some other research departments. Not only did the building look old outside, but the facilities inside were also very old. There was no elevator in the seven-story building, the corridors were very dark, and some rooms still had wooden doors. President Wang casually began to speak when Wu Zhongyuan looked around with a frown. "People who do scientific research don''t care much about their working environment. They care about scientific research equipment, which is relatively advanced in China." The most influential people in the city were not the mayor but the police chief and the hospital''s director. Everyone knew why they were welcome everywhere. As soon as President Wang arrived, the person in charge of the institute immediately welcomed them, arranged for expert personnel to test the samples, and then accompanied them to have tea in his office while waiting for the results. Wu Zhongyuan sat in the corner playing with the mobile phone that Lin Qingming had given him. After waiting for nearly an hour, President Wang looked at his watch. Seeing this, the person in charge of the research institute wisely picked up the phone and called the experts, urging them to speed up the process. However, even after waiting for another long hour, the inspection report didn''t come out, so the person in charge left his office to urge it in person. The office of the person in charge and the inspection department was on the same floor, but still, the head of the research institute did not return after ten minutes. In the end, President Wang, who couldn''t sit still, got up to check what happened. At that moment, the person in charge returned with some paper in his hands. Although he hasn''t seen the report yet, Wu Zhongyuan knew that the test results must be unexpected, because the person in charge looked puzzled. The person in charge sat down and then handed the report to President Wang. "President Wang, where did these samples come from?" "Is there any problem?" President Wang casually asked. "There is a problem," the person in charge nodded sternly. "This sample was woven from hemp fiber. By analyzing and comparing the hemp fiber, we found that the material used in the sample did not belong to the five common cotton and hemp plants in modern times." Hearing this, President Wang turned his eyes to the inspection report and again looked up at the person in charge. The person in charge added, "However, we have encountered similar materials before, and it was a test sample sent by the Archaeological Institute. This was a plant called hemp, which appeared in the same period as flax, probably because of the climate. This plant disappeared thousands of years ago, and the samples that are visible now were all the remains of grave goods found by archaeology." President Wang hid his astonishment and nodded calmly, surprising the person in charge, a little bit. "I think this fabric is not preserved until now, because once the funeral objects were unearthed, they will quickly oxidize and decay, and it is impossible to remain so intact." "Has it been done before-" Before President Wang could finish his words, the person in charge interrupted him, "Yes, we did the carbon 14 test. That''s why there was a delay in obtaining the results." "What''s the result?" As soon as President Wang asked, The person in charge''s face turned into a very strange expression, and he hesitated for a moment to speak. "Not more than twenty years." "Are you sure?" President Wang asked. "Yes," the person in charge nodded in agreement. "In addition to the main material, the fabric had traces of woody plant fibers. The initial identification should be white sandalwood. The carbon 14 test results of the two materials differ by more than 200 years." President Wang doesn''t quite understand what he just heard. "Why is there such a big difference?" "The growth time of the two kinds of plants is different, and the dating is not for the fabric, but the material itself." The person in charge explains. "Okay, Thank you for your time, Director Zhou." President Wang said and stood up. "President Wang, where did the samples for inspection come from?" the person in charge asked after him. "I''m not too sure, but a friend entrusted me." President Wang said as he walked out of the office. However, instead of going downstairs, he walked toward the laboratory to retrieve the patch. Then three of the same went downstairs. "President Wang, can I keep a part of the sample sent for inspection?" The person in charge discusses, to be precise, asking for it. "I''ll ask my friends for more information." However, instead of agreeing with it President Wang responded with another question. "Are you sure this hemp plant is already extinct?" "Not only the millet has become extinct, but I have never seen the weaving technique used in the fabric itself." The person in charge explained. President Wang thanked them before getting inside the car and returned with Wu Zhongyuan. On the way back, neither of them spoke. President Wang kept his eyes closed, and Wu Zhongyuan kept frowning. Once they got back to the hospital, President Wang handed the report to Wu Zhongyuan. "I have something to do. Yang will accompany you to the school to pick up your luggage. I will see you later." "Okay." Wu Zhongyuan returned the report while President Wang accepted it with a smile. He then opened the door and walked away. Being a resident student who doesn''t have much stuff, he only had to take one trip back and forth. He doesn''t know if it was because of the large number of rooms in the hospital, or because President Wang arranged it for him, Section Chief Gao, who is in charge of logistics, arranged a staff dormitory for him. It had one bedroom and one living room, an air conditioner, refrigerator, separate toilet, and kitchen utensils for cooking, literally everything. After settling down, Wu Zhongyuan doesn''t go back to meet President Wang. He knew that if President Wang finished his affairs, he would come looking for him. It is also possible that President Wang has nothing urgent to deal with at all, just like him, he wants to be alone and sort out the complicated and fragmented clues. After being busy all day, Wu Zhongyuan was tired. Just as he was about to lie down to sleep, he heard a knock on door. When he opened the door, he saw a man in his thirties holding a bag of rice and a bucket of oil in his hands. Without waiting for him to speak, the person introduced himself. ''Hello little brother, my name is Huang Lin. I am from the logistics department of the hospital, if there is anything I can help with, feel free to ask.'' After that, he placed down the things and left. Wu Zhongyuan didn''t understand what was going on for a while. When he regained his senses, he chased after him with that stuff, but the person was nowhere to be seen. He returned to the room, but as soon as he closed the door, there was a knock on the door again. When he opened the door, there was a young man, "My name is Jiang Yanwen, I''m in charge of the cafeteria. This is your meal card. You''ve already paid for it. Keep these two cigarettes for you." S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. "What are these for? Besides, I don''t smoke." Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly refused. He tried to return the things but the person left his things and went away. With the lessons learned, Wu Zhongyuan would not dare to open the door if someone knocked again. All these for the sake of President Wang. President Wang personally arranged his room and even made his car a private shuttle for the young man. No doubt others would misunderstand the relationship between them. In the evening, two women carrying things knocked on the door, but Wu Zhongyuan dared not to open it. Wu Zhongyuan even heard them muttering, "It''s not a mistake. It must be true. I heard that the samples sent to the province for the paternity test were brought back, without leaving any traces behind. And the test report was never shown to others. If it wasn''t for his son, how could he be so cautious?" Hearing those gossip, Wu Zhongyuan got so angry but he held back his temper and did not go after them to scold them. No wonder so many people came to visit him to be "good neighbors ". It turns out that everyone believes he is the illegitimate son of President Wang. Hearing all these, Wu Zhongyuan thought of leaving without giving any more chances for this gossip to grow bigger. President Wang kept many details hidden from outsiders, to keep him safe, and it was reasonable for them to speculate randomly. But when he thought again, he felt that it would be like a guilty conscience if he decides to leave. Since he is not the subject of the gossip, in reality, he feared no evil, so he decided to stay. After eight o''clock in the evening, the security captain came and gave Wu Zhongyuan a uniform. He didn''t force the young man to wear the uniform when Wu Zhongyuan hesitated to wear it. So the captain gave him a "dispatch" armband and showed him around to familiarize the work environment. The hospital is a Grade III A hospital with advanced and complete medical equipment. Many people came to see the doctors and most of them came by car. Wu Zhongyuan''s job was to direct these vehicles to the corresponding parking spaces and to ensure that the ambulance''s parking space is free and the entry route is unobstructed. The working hours are from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm every day. As for the salary, the security captain did not know, so he didn''t mention it since it was something that Section Chief Gao of logistics had to decide. When the security captain and Wu Zhongyuan walked around the workplace, President Wang came over from a distance. Watching him, the security captain said hello to President Wang and left with interest. "How is it?" President Wang asked as he came closer. "Very good, thank you, President Wang." Wu Zhongyuan sincerely thanked him. "Let''s go out for a walk." President Wang walked towards the door of the hospital and Wu Zhongyuan followed. "Zhongyuan, what do you think of this matter?" As soon as Wu Zhongyuan heard it, he knew that President Wang was referring to his own background, but he didn''t know how to answer. So President Wang continued, "I didn''t hide the results of various tests from you. I believe that you should already have a judgment in your heart." Hearing it, Wu Zhongyuan still did not speak. President Wang moved towards the steps in front of the library and sat down, "Tell me what you think." "Then how about you?" Wu Zhongyuan asked and President Wang smiled before rebutting. "Is there something you haven''t told me?" "What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. President Wang replied. "This afternoon, I spoke with a few old classmates engaged in scientific research and asked them some questions about physics. Your situation has a reasonable explanation, but it is still somewhat unclear. " President Wang continued when Wu Zhongyuan remained silent. "You were probably taken the wrong way, and someone went the wrong way with you." When the word " physics" was spoken by President Wang, Wu Zhongyuan already knew what his judgment was. "The person who came with me is dead." President Wang doesn''t seem to be surprised by such an answer, nodded and said. "The existence of wormholes has been fully demonstrated theoretically by famous physicists such as Einstein and Hawking, but so far there has been no real evidence, at least not publicly documented." "You suspect that I don''t belong here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked a question to which President Wang nodded. "Mr Hu Shi once said that those who do research should make bold assumptions and carefully verify them. At present, apart from the time distortion caused by the wormhole, there is no other reason to explain the abnormality of your blood and the ancient tattoos on your body." President Wang took out the patch from his pocket and said. "And this. This solid evidence was identified through scientific methods." "If I don''t belong here, where do I belong?" Wu Zhongyuan was at a loss. He knew about the black hole theory proposed by Einstein and Hawking, but he never thought that such a thing would happen to him. President Wang looked at the patch in his hand. "It is difficult to determine the exact age of this species of millet and hemp, but there were no funerary clothing of this material in the tomb excavations of the Xia and Shang periods." "What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan followed up with another question. Ch. 12 - The Ancients "Ancient period?" Wu Zhongyuan mumbled.President Wang slowly nodded, "It should be. It was the legendary period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. We could reasonably explain your chromosomal abnormality if you lived in that period. It was an era that was mythicized by later generations. Fuxi and Nuwa with human heads and snake bodies, Chiyou having two horns on his head, etc. Your appearance shows that these legends may not be just legends. Maybe during that time, people with abnormal genes like you may be very common." Wu Zhongyuan has not yet replied, but President Wang added, "The atmospheric environment at that time was different from now. There was no serious pollution as we have now. We have been living in a polluted environment, and are gradually getting used to it. We even developed antibodies, but if people in ancient times suddenly show up here, those symptoms you mentioned might happen to them. The dirty air can lead to lung infections, and the lack of oxygen in the air can make it difficult to breathe." "Language in ancient times was also different from now." Wu Zhongyuan said to himself. He still couldn''t fully believe President Wang''s judgment. However, President Wang''s judgment reasonably explained that the birdman, who had been in contact with the master for three days, could not communicate verbally. In addition, the bird''s beak also indirectly proved President Wang''s guess. In ancient times, people with genetic abnormalities like him were probably not uncommon. President Wang did not know that there was a birdman involved, nor did he know that Wu Zhongyuan''s master left a record of treating the two of them. So he casually replied, "In the previous Ming Dynasty, the language spoken was different from now." Hearing that, Wu Zhongyuan did not speak again. All these incidents happened suddenly, so he needs time to calm down and organize his thoughts. "If you have any questions, you can ask them, and we will discuss them together." President Wang assured. So Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and asked again, "Adults and children, who can tolerate polluted air better?" "Of course, it''s adults. Children''s bodies are not fully developed, and their tolerance is worse." President Wang replied. Wu Zhongyuan gently wiped his face with his hands. "But why did the man die, and I''m still fine?" President Wang picks up the patch again. "It should have saved your life. Sandalwood is a very precious traditional Chinese medicine. It can flow into the three meridians of the spleen, stomach and lungs. It can regulate qi and stop vomiting. If the whole swaddling cloth was made of this kind of fabric, the aroma would be stronger, and the medicinal effect will be stronger." "I only know that this thing can repel mosquitoes." Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly. At that moment, a sudden question popped into his mind. "If what you said is correct, then the person who sent me here had already thought about it..." s?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Before Wu Zhongyuan could finish the words, President Wang interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "It shouldn''t be like this. Not only can sandalwood be able to regulate Qi and stop vomiting, but it can also calm one''s mind down. The reason why the person who weaved sandalwood in this swaddle was probably just to make you sleep better." Wu Zhongyuan''s mind plunged into a mess. He wiped his face with his hands and then painfully bit his teeth when he accidentally scratched his wound under the hair. "President Wang, do you think this is reasonable?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. "If we eliminate all the unreasonable things, what remains in the end, must be the truth." President Wang stated, "It may be difficult for you to accept such a reality for a while, but it is very likely to be the truth. Whether you want to accept it or not, the truth shall remain as the truth." Wu Zhongyuan did not respond to that statement, so President Wang added, "The reason why the pair of abnormal chromosomes in your body remained dormant is probably because of the difference in the air." Wu Zhongyuan was in a dazed state, and he was confused, but President Wang deduced the truth and excitedly added more. "In my opinion, the reason why you appear here is not someone who deliberately sent you, but must be a sudden accident. So far, science and technology have not developed to the point of artificially creating and controlling wormholes. It was even more impossible thousands of years ago." President Wang pinched the patch and continued again, "Also, the productivity in ancient times was very underdeveloped, and a swaddle made of this material was not something ordinary people could afford. Sp, your parents must''ve had a high social status at that time." "President Wang, what''s good about knowing this?" Wu Zhongyuan was very depressed, "Even if I came from ancient times, I can''t go back." President Wang was stunned for a moment, and it took him a moment to reply, "Even if you can''t change, you should explore it by seeking the truth." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head in disagreement, "I can''t go back anyway, then why am I still looking for it?" This time President Wang had no answer to the young man''s questions. He was excited to discover the truth to any extent and ignored Wu Zhongyuan''s feelings. Learning that he doesn''t belong to this world can only make Wu Zhongyuan look at himself as an alien, different from others, a wanderer who has left his hometown and can never return. "Have you had dinner?" President Wang asked to which Wu Zhongyuan shook his head in reply. There was a food stall near the hospital, Since President Wang treated Wu Zhongyuan once, he insisted on having a meal together to express his gratitude to the hospital''s director. Since Wu Zhongyuan insisted on buying this dinner, President Wang couldn''t refuse but to let him. During the meal, President Wang said nothing about this matter but casually chatted with Wu Zhongyuan, asking him what he plans to fill in and what plans he had for his future life, while Wu Zhongyuan either replies "I didn''t think about it" or shakes his head without saying a word. He originally had a plan for his life, to go to college, find a job, and then start a family. But now, this plan is not working well. Because of his abnormal chromosomes, he''s afraid to find a wife. His world instantly darkened when he learned that he can''t fall in love and marry a wife, and now he has no motivation to work hard. He buried his worries for a while and finished the meal. After that Wu Zhongyuan went back to the dormitory and fell asleep. When a happy event occurs, people feel refreshed and feel sleepy when they are stuffy. Even though he fell asleep, he woke up several times and could not sleep well. He started his work the next day, wearing an armband and directing the vehicles that came to see the doctors. It is a very easy job. The parking lot was soon to be occupied, not long after his job started. Then placed a sign at the entrance that said the parking space was full. He even ran to the front of the emergency building to guard the ambulance''s parking lots, avoiding any block from outside vehicles. The ambulance has not been idle for a day as the siren keeps running out and drives back. Nine out of ten are in car accidents, with broken limbs, and blood dripping and he would also help them when there is insufficient staff in some busy times. A hospital is a good place to save lives and also a bad place since people always die. You can often hear the heart-wrenching cry of the bereaved sufferers, and from time to time. You can see the terminally ill patients holding test reports with ashen faces, as well as families of patients desperate to pay medical bills. Gradually, Wu Zhongyuan''s mood improved. He was unlucky, but there were many more unfortunate people than him. Compared with those dying, at least he is still alive. He hasn''t seen President Wang in the past few days, and Lin Qingming has not returned from the business trip with the boss. The work is easy, the food in the hospital cafeteria is good, and life is quite pleasant. The imaginary thing about being arrested by the relevant departments for research does not happen. It was as if it had been forgotten, and life slowly returned to peace. In the second half of the month, the result of the college entrance examination came out, and luckily it was not bad for him. He passed the scoreline of the second rank of colleges, and he needs to fill in the application. When he got in touch with Lin Qingming, his older brother did not interfere but just told him to choose a major he likes, without worrying about tuition fees. There were a lot of majors, but he couldn''t decide which one to apply to. Except for being a soldier and a policeman, he has no interest in anything else. So, he kept thinking again and chose archaeology between history and archaeology. The reasons for applying for this major were also very simple. One is that this school is in the province, a little closer to Lin Qingming. The second is that he came from ancient times, and even if he can''t go back, he can be in closer contact and understand some of the ancient things. The salary has settled at 5,000 yuan after working for less than two months, which is not a too small amount for a short-term worker. Since Lin Qingming has been running around with the boss, he failed to come back to see him off, so he wired him 10,000 yuan for tuition through his mobile phone. In September, Wu Zhongyuan packed his luggage and boarded the train to the provincial capital with the admission notice.
