Between mountains and seas

Chapter 139

With a snort, a small ball of fire was thrown onto the set up dry wood, and a lively flame suddenly burst into flames.

The flames climbed up the pyre to the very top and began to roast the snake segments strung on the branches.The bright red scales were roasted into dark brown by the flames, and the white meat inside gradually turned yellow, exuding a smell similar to roasted chicken with mushrooms.

Tang Jia, who was sitting by the fire, swallowed involuntarily: "Really, do you really eat snakes?" She didn't want to eat them, but after two days of starvation, the snake meat smelled really good... …

Wang Cheng just added a handful of firewood to the fire, and swallowed it: "It's about this time, eat whatever you have. Burn it thoroughly, and you should be able to kill all the parasites. If it doesn't work, go back and check your body again." ..." Let's get out of this mountain and sea world alive first.His legs are weak now, and his stomach seems to be scratched by countless pairs of small hands. If he doesn't eat any more, he will really die.

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any parasites." Shao Jingxing was also so hungry, he turned the snake on the fire over and stared at it eagerly, "I have eaten a lot before, and there are no parasites. .” Even if there was, his fire would have been burnt out.

Tang Jia hugged her knees: "Have you eaten a lot? All in this place? Young Master Jing, you—" What have you experienced?

Wang Chenggang also had a lot of doubts: "We were still in front of that big pillar just now..." Why did we fall into a cave while running in the woods?Fortunately, the moving trees did not follow, but a few snakes followed, but they were all caught by Shao Jingxing to add food.

Shao Jingxing looked at them and didn't intend to talk too much.Wang Chenggang is an ordinary person, some things should not be known at all, how to deal with it should be decided by the special affairs department after returning home.As for Tang Jia, she is still a suspect, let alone say too much.

"You can eat it." As soon as Shao Jingxing changed the subject, Tang Jia and Wang Chenggang immediately forgot their question just now, they all reached out and grabbed a bunch of snake parts, and started to gnaw wildly.

Of course, these breeding snakes are not as big as the hooked snakes. The largest one is no more than the thickness of a water pipe, and the small one is shaped like an adult's thumb, but its body is four or five meters long. Shao Jingxing caught four of them, chopped off their heads and tails, and skewered them to roast them. Duan can also fill the stomachs of three people.

Moreover, perhaps because of their small size, the meat of these snakes is more tender and has a flavor of spices, which is naturally more delicious for people who have been hungry for a long time.

Tang Jia gnawed on two strings of snake segments, and the burning hunger finally disappeared.She touched her belly and let out a long breath: "It's delicious..."

A velvety sound echoed in the air. Wang Chenggang, who had just devoured three strings of snake parts, suddenly felt that the snake meat in front of him was a rare delicacy in the world. His stomach was already full, but now his appetite suddenly soared.There were two skewers of snake meat on the fire, and he reached out and grabbed the two skewers of meat almost without thinking, wanting to stuff them into his mouth right and left.

"Wait!" Shao Jingxing wanted to chew slowly, and he hadn't even finished eating two skewers. Seeing that Wang Cheng was about to take away the last two skewers, he quickly grabbed his hand, "You have eaten a lot! Leave me a skewer ah!"

Wang Chenggang grabbed the meat and refused to let go: "I'm very hungry..."

"You've already eaten a lot." Shao Jingxing unceremoniously stretched out his hand and pressed his stomach, "You're almost full! You can't eat like this after several meals, or your stomach will be overwhelmed!"

"I'm very hungry—" Wang Chenggang didn't listen to Shao Jingxing's words at all, and still wanted to drag the meat skewers in front of him.

This is not right... Shao Jingxing looked at Wang Chenggang's expression, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped him: "Wake up!"

He slapped firmly, and with a slap, Wang Chenggang was slapped so that his face was crooked, and the snake part fell to the ground, but his expression suddenly became sober: "Why, what's wrong?"

"Are you still hungry?"

"Hungry?" Wang Chenggang was puzzled, he didn't know whether to cover his burning cheeks first, or touch his somewhat full stomach first, "I'm not hungry anymore."

Shao Jingxing heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at Tang Jia: "Be careful!" Tang Jia's awakening ability seems to be stronger than before, not only for hypnosis, but also for eloquence.People's appetites will increase greatly if they say it is delicious-not to mention, even he felt that the snake section in front of him suddenly became more delicious after hearing Tang Jia's words just now.

"Me?" Tang Jia was still a little confused.At Aozuzhu's place just now, seeing Shao Jingxing about to drag her into the snake swarm, she felt as if some shackles had been broken from her throat in extreme fear, and she uttered a sharp, ear-piercing and heartfelt cry: "Go!" Open up!"

Then those squirming branches really retreated, and Shao Jingxing took the opportunity to drag the two of them into the woods, running wildly along the direction guided by the scattered bones, and finally fell down on the flat ground inexplicably, and opened his eyes again. When I opened my eyes, I fell into a cave.All the scorpion pillars and the forest that lived with snakes all disappeared, only the few snakes that chased the most were caught by Shao Jingxing and became their dinner.

She was so hungry just now that she didn't bother to think about it carefully, but now she realizes that she is indeed a little different from before.So, she's—awakened?That is to say, without the Miaoyinniao's throat bead, she can use the ability?

Tang Jia touched her chest in surprise. The bone beads she had always carried were indeed gone, but her voice just now was so beautiful that it could even seduce people - she finally didn't have to be constrained by that bone anymore. Beads, but really awakened abilities!

Suddenly remembered something, Tang Jia hurriedly touched his knee.But unlike the previous feathers that would grow there when she used her ability, there was no abnormality in her knees now, and she even lifted up her pant legs to take a closer look, and found that the original fish-scale skin on her legs had returned to normal—she no longer had to worry about being regarded as a It's a monster!

If this is the case, then does she not have to be threatened by anyone anymore?

"What are you thinking?" Shao Jingxing looked at Tang Jia suspiciously, "I think you have supernatural powers, you can control me, and you want to run away?"

"No, no..." Tang Jia couldn't help but feel a little guilty after he pierced the thoughts in his heart.

"I advise you to keep your head clear." Shao Jingxing said bluntly, "Where can you go now? Are you going to stay in the world of mountains and seas for the rest of your life?"

Tang Jia was speechless when asked, so she could only bite the bullet and lie: "I didn't want to run away, but I was thinking that these things were all done by Qi Ke——Qi Tongmin, so what will you do when I get out? How do I deal with Qi Tongmin?"

Shao Jingxing actually didn't know, but this didn't prevent him from rolling his eyes and shutting Tang Jia back: "Don't worry, the Special Affairs Section naturally has regulations, and everyone has to follow the regulations." He said, and complained about Tang Jia, " If you had told the truth when you were in the theater, Huo Qing would have notified the Special Affairs Department long ago, and he would not have been ambushed on the highway. Maybe now that we have safely returned to the capital, Qi Tongmin would have been locked up long ago!"

Tang Jia was speechless by what he said, and murmured softly: "I didn't know it would happen. Besides, it's not my fault for wasting time. Isn't it because you don't know how to get out..."

"Why don't I know!" Shao Jingxing really didn't know before, but now that he has come to the familiar mountain of Guanti again, of course he knows, "If you didn't walk too slowly before, come to this place earlier , I will take you out soon." And he always felt that Huo Qing might be able to find him soon after arriving at this place.

He spoke with confidence, but Tang Jia was so angry that he didn't dare to refute. She turned her head and rolled her eyes, and said angrily, "So what if we go out? Qi Tongmin is not easy to deal with..."

Shao Jingxing couldn't help but feel a little worried.Now that Huo Qing is outside, I'm afraid he doesn't know Qi Tongmin's true face, but Qi Tongmin knows that Tang Jia is in their hands, will he directly attack Huo Qing?This is a mental calculation without intention, but it is very troublesome.

Of course, Shao Jingxing didn't know at this time that Qi Tongmin's status had become "at large" within the Special Affairs Department.

However, Qi Tongmin, who was on the run, was not as embarrassed as some people imagined. At this time, he appeared in Zhao Lianxing's office.

"Chief Qi?" Zhao Lianxing was a little surprised, "Why are you?"

Qi Tongmin smiled, but didn't answer his question: "Mr. Zhao is doing well recently, isn't he?"

"It's not like that..." Zhao Lianxing laughed, and motioned for his assistant to pour tea for Qi Tongmin, "What's the matter, Chief Qi?" It was the first time that Qi Tongmin found him in the group.

"Actually, I'm here to congratulate Mr. Zhao." Qi Tongmin didn't seem to understand how unfamiliar Zhao Lianxing's official tone was, and continued to smile and said, "Your son is healthy, isn't it great?"

Zhao Lianxing's face suddenly became a little stiff. Fortunately, he was also a person on the scene, and he was able to maintain his expression: "Indeed. The doctor said that the brain may also develop with the body's development, and the situation is much better than before. I heard that now abroad There is a new biological therapy, and I plan to send him to try. The doctor said that if the situation is good, he can recover almost like a normal person."

Qi Tongmin had been silent before, and he was a little negligent. After eating mermaid meat, he should have sent the child away for two years, so that no one would doubt him when he came back.But it's not too late to make up for it, and it's too late to send it out now.

Zhao Lianxing was thinking about it, when he heard Qi Tongmin say lightly, "Really? That biological therapy will be more effective than mermaid meat?"

"What?" Zhao Lianxing couldn't maintain his composure, and he forced a dry laugh, "No one dares to guarantee the new treatment method, but it's not impossible—he was in a hurry to go to the doctor..."

Qi Tongmin smiled at him: "It's true that he went to the doctor in a hurry. If it weren't for the rush, how could Mr. Zhao cooperate with Yuan Fei?"

"Chief Qi—" Zhao Lianxing's face really changed, "You, what do you mean?"

Qi Tongmin snorted lightly, and didn't directly expose his futile cover-up, but said, "Mr. Lan of the Blue Arrow Group is still in the hospital bed. Mr. Qian of Hengchong Commercial, I heard that he is not in good health recently? "

He mentioned two people in a row, and Zhao Lianxing's face became ugly: "This—maybe I'm too tired, but I actually don't feel very well recently..."

"Is it because you are worried that Yuan Fei's tricks are too big to end?" Qi Tongmin asked sharply.

Zhao Lianxing's forced smile immediately froze on his face: "Chief Qi...this is, what does this mean?"

Qi Tongmin picked up the tea next to him, shook it leisurely, and watched the hot steam rise: "Actually, Lan Heng is not very eye-catching, but with Qian Ziqiang, it really can't help but make people suspicious—a competitor Mr. Zhao is so lucky to be sick one after another. Besides, maybe there will be a third or a fourth...Anyway, Yuan Fei has always been a bold person. Speaking of his daughter studying abroad, he only has A person doesn't think much about the consequences of what he does. Anyway, if something happens, he can escape, can Mr. Zhao escape?"

Zhao Lianxing couldn't laugh at all.

Qi Tongmin's words really hit his sore spot—Yuan Fei, who said he was doing things for him, actually made his own decisions and didn't listen to him at all.

Lan Heng of the Blue Arrow Group was indeed the one he told Yuan Fei to bring down; but it was Yuan Fei's own idea to deal with Heng Chong's business.In fact, when Yuan Fei told him about it, he was a little dazed.

Zhao Lianxing is certainly not a good person to be able to make such a big business by messing around in the mall.But he is not a person who kills everything. He didn't think about knocking down all competitors, leaving only his own family alone.Besides, if all the competitors fell due to various accidents and illnesses, and he was the only one left with smooth sailing, wouldn't anyone doubt him?At that time, he will become a target of public criticism, and the harm will outweigh the benefits.

That's why Zhao Lianxing cautiously mentioned only one Lan Heng at the beginning, because as long as the Lan Arrow didn't block his way, it would be enough for him to fight for the rest and get the benefits he deserved.

Who knew that Yuan Fei had such a big idea that he actually went to Hengchong's Qian Ziqiang himself, and even came back triumphantly to ask him for money.He dared not refuse.

Fortunately, Yuan Fei had some brains and didn't put Qian Ziqiang into the intensive care unit like he did with Lan Heng. It is said that it is impossible for Lan Heng to come out of there again. For self-improvement, he still asked Yuan Fei to stop, as long as Qian Ziqiang was in good times and bad for a period of time.

Zhao Lianxing paid Hengchong's money reluctantly, and he was also a little frightened - when he told Yuan Fei not to do anything without him, Yuan Fei not only didn't think so, but was also obviously displeased, as if thinking that he I don't know what is good or bad.

What if Yuan Fei is so self-assertive next time?When the time comes, will he give money or not?It would be too suffocating to give it, and if he didn't give it, what would he do if Yuan Fei used these methods against him?

Also, what if Yuan Fei went too far and was discovered?Don't say it's impossible, Zhao Lianxing knew about the existence of the Special Affairs Department, and if Yuan Fei could do it, someone capable of doing it would naturally find out.At that time, it will be fine for Yuan Fei to be unlucky, what should we do if he is involved?

Zhao Lianxing couldn't tell anyone these words, he could only hold back his worries in his heart, but now that Qi Tongmin said it, his heart turned upside down again.

"Yuan Fei, I know better than you." Qi Tongmin added flatly, "He doesn't even listen to me, and even trades mermaid meat with you without permission. Do you still expect him to listen to you?"

Of course it was impossible, and Zhao Lianxing knew it himself, that's why he was uneasy.

"You...I..." Zhao Lianxing didn't know what to say.He couldn't admit that the matter of Lan Jian and Heng Chong had anything to do with him, but what Qi Tongmin said hit his mind.

Qi Tongmin could see what he was worried about at a glance: "Tell me where Yuan Fei is. After solving him, Lan Heng will naturally get better."

Zhao Lianxing understood what he meant.Lan Heng is fine, and Yuan Fei has been dealt with again, so naturally no one can find him.In other words, even if it is really revealed in the future, it will be easier to solve the matter without killing people.The only question is, can he trust Qi Tongmin?

Qi Tongmin frowned: "If Yuan Fei knew that I came to you, what would Mr. Zhao think? Would he believe that Mr. Zhao would keep his mouth shut and wouldn't betray him?"

"How does this count as a betrayal..." Zhao Lianxing retorted subconsciously.These things were all found out by Qi Tongmin himself.Then again, if Yuan Fei hadn't acted on Qian Ziqiang on his own initiative, how could it have aroused Qi Tongmin's suspicion?So after all, it was all Yuan Fei's own fault!

However, Yuan Fei definitely doesn't think so...

When Zhao Lianxing thought of Lan Heng, he collapsed so suddenly, still in front of the gate of his office building.Before, he felt that Yuan Fei's ability was really easy to use, but if this ability was used on himself, it would be terrible...

"Actually, I really don't know where he is..." Zhao Lianxing finally let go, "It's all by phone, I transfer money by mobile phone, and I don't meet often."

"Okay." Qi Tongmin nodded, "When I leave, you can call him and say that I came to you and asked if he did what Lan Heng did."

Zhao Lianxing was startled for a moment: "Speaking of this?" Why?

"You just have to do as I say." Qi Tongmin twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcasm smile, "In this way, Mr. Zhao will not be suspected by Yuan Fei, will he?"

Zhao Lianxing thought this was indeed the case, so he didn't speak.Qi Tongmin looked at him and sneered: "But I would like to advise Mr. Zhao that it is better not to do such a thing. You can hire people with supernatural powers, and so can others. When the time comes, ordinary people like you will know how they died. Is it?"

Without looking at Zhao Lianxing's pale face, Qi Tongmin got up straight and left the Lianxing Group.But when he got out of the office building, he didn't go far. Instead, he stood at the corner of the street, blocked himself with a billboard, and opened his hands.

In the palm of his hand lay a butterfly, its colorful wings spread out to almost cover the palm of his hand.But although the butterfly stopped on his palm and did not move, its figure was flickering, so that although several pedestrians passed by one after another, no one noticed that there was a butterfly in Qi Tongmin's palm.

The two long antennae on the butterfly's head sway slightly from side to side, as if radar detection.After a while, the two tentacles suddenly trembled, as if sensing something, they pointed straight in one direction...
