Hidden Corners

"The candy bar street is not the Xuezhong Road before, is it? Our memory flashes are all met there." Sima Gui said.

"It's not far from here, you can walk there, maybe the map has shifted." Song Ran replied.

"By the way, Sima, Zhong Ying, when you entered Wu Street, did you see the flyer on the lamppost?" Li Chengyi suddenly recalled a detail.

"Leaflet? Didn't pay attention." Zhong Ying replied.

"The propaganda slogan against what? I saw it, what's wrong?" Sima Gui asked suspiciously.

"Did anything major happen in this place more than a hundred years ago?" Li Chengyi asked.

"According to the data, no. At that time, Yiguo was so powerful that Baixing couldn't breathe. The per capita GDP in the country was also high, and social welfare was good. What big things could there be?" Song Ran asked.

"Where's the fire?" Zhong Ying asked.

"The fire happened more than ten years ago, and it has nothing to do with Xuezhong Road more than a hundred years ago." Song Ran retorted.

"Did you ever use that kind of concrete pillar streetlight on Youxuezhong Road?" Li Chengyi asked again.

As soon as these words came out, several people immediately realized that something was wrong.

In the simulated map of several people, there were indeed concrete pillars on the Xuezhong Road more than a hundred years ago, and slogans were posted on them.

but.

Everyone noticed that these poles are not street lights!

"No! Why are the concrete poles on Xuezhong Road all telephone poles!?" Zhong Ying exhaled.

"Yes, in the blind corner of the foggy street we entered, all the concrete poles are street lamps, and none of them are telephone poles!" Li Chengyi affirmed. "so."

"So, considering that the location we were looking for was a lake, it is very possible that we are looking in the wrong direction!" Sima Gui answered quickly.

"But it's not right? Who would use concrete pillars as street lights? Is there such a place in Yiguo?" Song Ran asked.

This question is very critical. After it was raised, several people in AR fell silent.

Yes, cement pillars are costly and difficult to construct as street lamps. Using a hollow iron pole directly is much faster and less costly.

"Could it be abroad?" Li Chengyi asked.

"Impossible, the signboards in Wujie are all written in Yiguo characters." Sima Gui denied.

"Perhaps a combination of street lamps and utility poles?" Syndra said.

"Also a possibility."

Li Chengyi canceled the photo in front of him, looked at the row of old houses along the street, and fell into deep thought.

He really wanted to enter Fog Street again. Although he was a bit selfish, his purpose was not to help Zhong Ying, but to touch that mysterious little white flower again.

But now the clues are deadlocked, and everything is stuck on the determination of Xuezhong Road.

Relying on the load-bearing stone pillar, Li Chengyi kept sorting out his thoughts.

'Maybe it's better to go back to the candy bar and do the memory flash again. '

He looked unconsciously at a pastry shop across the street.

The name of the shop is Zhoujia Pastry.

The door was open, and wooden drawers were placed on the floor, and there were bags of bread sticks and biscuits in the drawers.

The lighting in the store was soft, and two clerks in white and black aprons were busy arranging something behind the counter.

At this moment, a chubby little fat man crept to the door of the cake shop, stretched out his hand, and stuffed all the pastries at the door of the shop bag by bag into a snakeskin bag he was carrying.

Seeing that the clerk didn't pay attention to him, the little fat man became more courageous and began to enter the store with his head down. In front of the empty cash register, he reached for the banknotes in the open cash register.

Seeing that the little fat man took a pile of money, he was about to run away when he walked out of the store.

Li Chengyi looked around, but no one else noticed, so he decided to discipline this brat.

Immediately he hurried across the street, blocking the fat little man's way on the sidewalk.

"What are you doing!?" He yelled, the little chubby trembled in fright, dropped the snakeskin bag in his hand, turned around and ran away.

Li Chengyi stepped forward, picked up the snakeskin bag, opened it, and found that it was empty, and there was nothing there.

He immediately understood that this kid might have just quickly hid the money and food somewhere else.

Immediately, he quickly chased after the little fat man.

The two ran wildly along the street, and ran to a red trash can. Finally, the little fat man couldn't run anymore, leaning against the load-bearing pillar and panting hard.

"Why are you chasing me?" He turned his head and shouted at Li Chengyi.

"What do you think?" Li Chengyi felt that he had always been a person with a sense of justice, so when he saw the other party stealing money, he couldn't stand it.

"I didn't do anything?" The little fat man said confidently.

Only now did Li Chengyi see the fat man's appearance clearly.

Very fat, very cylindrical, the facial features are squeezed into three slits by the fat, and even the eyeballs can hardly be seen clearly.

He was wearing an old red sweatshirt, a pair of yellowed white sweatpants hanging from his legs, and he was stepping on a pair of green rubber shoes covered in dried mud.

Li Chengyi noticed that there was a semicircular white mark on the left chest of the little fat man's sweatshirt, which was a pattern resembling a newborn sun, with a line of words underneath: Dongliu Experimental Primary School.

"Where's the thing you took just now?" Li Chengyi said solemnly.

"I didn't take it! Can you control it? There are too many things!" The little fat man breathed out fragrantly.

"You curse again?" Li Chengyi's eyes turned cold.

"I fuck you"

Snapped.

With a muffled sound, Li Chengyi slapped the opponent's face, causing the little fat man to stagger and fall to the ground, stunned for a moment.

A five-finger print slowly appeared on his plump left face.

"How dare you scold people for stealing? In the neighborhood where I grew up, a group of people will rush out and beat you up on the spot!" Li Chengyi said coldly.

"It's just you who have a lot of things to do. No one cares about your business!" The little fat man said loudly with tears in his eyes.

"I just have nothing to do! What's wrong!? What's wrong with you?" Li Chengyi asked back.

He stepped forward and grabbed Xiaopang and beat him up.

"Don't hit, don't hit!" Xiaopang shouted while holding his head.

"You brat still dare to scold me!?" Li Chengyi happened to be depressed because he couldn't find any clues in the blind spot. At this time, he grabbed a good meat sandbag, and it was a fat beating.

That is to say, he still remembers to control the strength, otherwise, with his now strengthened strength, he would be able to hit people with internal injuries in a few hits.

"I heard you were looking for Wuji grocery store, I know where it is!!" Suddenly the little fat man shouted loudly.

"!?" Li Chengyi paused, his eyes fixed on the other party. "How did you know we were looking for Wuji grocery store?"

"You guys are standing on the side of the street wearing glasses, running east and west for a while, you are so neurotic, and you talk so loudly, who can't hear you?" Xiaopang said aggrieved with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"." Li Chengyi's face froze, recalling their actions, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the blind spots, they really feel a kind of stupid neurosis.

"Okay, then tell me, where is the grocery store?" He looked at the little fat man and asked in a deep voice. "If you can tell the location, I will not only stop beating you, but also give you money to buy delicious food!"

"You put me up first." The little fat man hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Li Chengyi quickly stepped aside and took two steps back.

Watching the little fat man get up from the ground, he patted the ashes off his body.

"Tell me, do you know where it is?" He continued to ask.

"It's the Wuji grocery store that sells bubble gum, fried tofu, and small stickers. I know it. I saw fruit machines and rocking chairs at their door before." The fat man wiped his snot on his face. On the buttocks, said quickly.

"Yes, that's the one!" Li Chengyi compared the restored grocery store in the data, and the items sold were exactly the same, and it was indeed the one!

He cheered up, originally thought that he would not find any clues for a while, but he didn't expect a fat man who stole something to know about this Wuji grocery store.

"If you take me there, I'll give you a hundred yuan as a reward!" Li Chengyi quickly took out his wallet, took out a hundred-yuan banknote that had been treasured for more than half a year, and waved it in front of the other party's eyes.

"Okay, you follow me!" The little fat man turned around and ran away without saying a word.

When Li Chengyi thought that he would be able to touch the little white flower immediately, he felt full of anticipation.

He quickly followed, stepped out a few steps, and increased his speed.

hum!

At this moment, the world spun in an instant, and Li Chengyi's footsteps swayed, and he almost lost his balance and fell.

His entire vision was blurred, and various colors were like a blender, spinning, twisting, and pulling out lines of different colors.

'This is.! ? '

Li Chengyi moved back, wanting to back off.

He knew that he had entered the memory flash, but it was too late.

‘How could you enter the memory flash at this time! ? ? '

Seeing that he can follow the little fat man to Wuji grocery store, but now

'wrong! If I go in now, I can still touch the flower first! '

Suddenly his thoughts changed, and the previous nervousness turned into anticipation.

Soon, everything in front of my eyes gradually became clear.

The colored lines resumed, and the feeling of dizziness quickly dissipated.

In front of Li Chengyi, the gray old street shrouded in fog once again appeared.

He quickly raised his head, instead of looking at the slot machine at the end, he looked at the ground at the foot of the concrete pillar and street lamp on the roadside.

Where is that little white flower! ?

Li Chengyi glanced quickly.

Suddenly a touch of white came into his eyes, the mysterious little white flower, Shanlihong, was quietly growing at the foot of a street lamp, shaking slightly, delicate and beautiful.

Li Chengyi took a few steps at a time, quickly stretched out his hand forward, and grabbed the little flower.

'Shanlihong: Alias ​​red fruit, big hawthorn, Rosaceae deciduous small tree information is incomplete. Medicinal value. Incomplete. The flowering period is incomplete.’

These are the same as before.

The point is the language of flowers!

'Flower language: Cutting the sky and destroying the earth, the gods limit the heart. '

really! Still the same.

Li Chengyi quickly looked at the next message.

'Flower scale clothing collection rate: The new flower god position has not been opened. '

This was within his expectation, the purpose he wanted was to come in again and take this flower out!

If the activity of the flower can be maintained in a short period of time, it can be transplanted into reality

Immediately, he didn't hesitate. Anyway, since the flower god seat didn't open a new one, he couldn't absorb this flower, so he just dug it out and transplanted it first!

Li Chengyi squatted down, just condensed the scale clothes on the palm of his hand, and then used the sharp blade of the gladiolus to dig down the soil from the side of the red flower in the mountain.

Amidst the chirping sounds, lumps of black soil were dug out along with fragments of stone slabs.

The roots of Shanlihong are gradually exposed.
