Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is midsummer, and the vast Amazon jungle has once again entered the rainy season. Even in the city during this season, the fresh and slightly smelly air of plant decay is as full as it has been for thousands of years. Full of moist water vapor.
What is different from the past is that this huge rainforest, which covers an area of ??more than 7 million square kilometers and is known as the "Lungs of the Earth", is no longer completely owned by the people of the earth. It has been taken over by more than a dozen other worlds where the barriers have collapsed. It is divided into more than a dozen pieces, making its climate diverse.
Tuyikano, the capital of the small country of Tatetutu, is hidden in the dense forest. Because of this change, every time the sun sets, the temperature will plummet by more than ten degrees, so that the best hotel in Tuyikano, the Golden The tourists in the lobby of the Brick Hotel, who were either well-dressed, or in explorer attire, or even fully armed, were all shivering due to the cooling temperature.
¡°How energy-poor are these natives? Even five-star hotels cannot provide heating 24 hours a day. There are trees all over the mountains and plains. Can¡¯t we think of adapting measures to local conditions?
Are you still thinking about protecting the environment now? Your head is really broken. "In a corner of the splendid lobby, on a sofa next to a coffee table away from the bright chandelier, a short, fat, bald man, about forty years old, wearing a gray suit and with yellow skin rubbed his hands and complained dissatisfied. .
Sitting opposite this man was a man in a black suit who was about the same age as him, but his physique and figure were much stronger and slender. He frowned when he heard his companion's words.
Be careful to sit in the center of the hotel lobby in the distance. Jin Chancan exudes a white plaid dress under the upper body under the crystal chandelier of the soft light. Wearing a pair of straight pencil pants, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on her tall nose, the young woman with a serious look glanced at her, and the tall and thin man lowered his voice and said: "Old Wang, don't talk nonsense, pay attention to the diplomatic impact."
"In this age and situation, how can we still talk about diplomacy with these natives?" The short, fat man looked at his companion's affected expression, looked away, and said nonchalantly: "This trip is to let Director Guo plate gold, and then The organizational relationship was transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the newly established 'Internal Political Commissar'.
The next step is to prepare and be responsible for an immigration point in the "Kunlun World". Two more terms of rest and recuperation. By then, the resumes of middle-level cadres of central enterprises, departments and bureaus of central ministries and commissions, and top leaders of local party and government will all be available, tsk tsk. The future is limitless. "
Some things can only be understood. Indescribable. Hearing that his companion on the other side spoke so thoroughly and straightforwardly, the tall and thin man's face suddenly became very embarrassed, and he secretly regretted that he had lost his head. He actually sat down with this loser who was frustrated in his career and complained all day long.
He calmed down and said thoughtfully: "I said Lao Wang, why are your thoughts so negative.
What is the situation now? You are really trying to judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. Besides, the situation in Tatetutu is so chaotic. Who would come here to gild? You, you are really used to talking nonsense. "
"Chaos, hey, the 'Zong Management Bureau' is now directly under the control of the 'Internal Political Commissar'. The big 'ghosts, ghosts and snake gods' accompanying this time are not a hundred but eighty. No matter how chaotic Tate Tutu is, they can turn the world upside down.
Besides, there is a clear saying in ancient times that 'wealth can be found in danger'. No matter how prosperous the red seedlings are, it is difficult to see a rainbow without going through wind and rain. As long as Director Guo doesn't get so lucky that he 'wants to eat fried rice with eggs'" Seeing his companion's face turn ashen. , the short and fat man became more energetic and spoke even more brazenly.
The tall and thin man opposite listened to what he said more and more. He no longer cared about attracting attention. He stood up in a panic and sat in another seat. At this moment, a man wearing muddy rain boots and half-dressed Wearing an old canvas denim suit and a two- to three-inch half-length beard on his dirty face, a man of medium height walked into the hotel door.
The man looked embarrassed, but full of energy. However, when he habitually looked around with his bright eyes, his eyes suddenly stopped, showing a very shocked look. He came to his senses, and immediately lowered his head to hide it. The brim of the wide-brimmed hat suddenly became tired.
He staggered to the hotel counter and took out a handful of Solo from his pocket. The man said feebly in English: "Please help me book a single room, thank you."
"Sir, the money is only enough for one night's stay. I'd better ask you to pay the bill in gold next time you come here." The tanned and skinny waiter grabbed the money and counted it, without mentioning the need for registration. , said with a well-trained smile while handing over the room card to the guest.
These words may sound polite, but the hidden meaning is that due to the turbulent situation and the invasion of other worlds, the 'Solo' as the official currency of Tat Tutu will soon become useless paper. If there is no hard currency like gold in the future, Then we won't accept it.
"Gold pays the bill," the bearded man was stunned, took the room card, and muttered, "Do even the Amazon natives know that gold is a general equivalent that is scarce in all the worlds? This world has become really Wonderful." and walked into the elevator.
After arriving at the room on the eleventh floor, he locked the door and threw the huge travel backpack on the carpet. He breathed a long sigh of relief, walked into the bathroom, frowned and said to himself: "It's really Damn it, how could I meet Senior Sister Caiying and so many people from the Taoist sect here?
Now the global 'world barriers' have collapsed. Except for the 'Wuli' I rule, the other nine hundred and ninety-nine 'worlds' are spread out on the earth. The country of China has been divided into at least seventeen or eighteen by area. It¡¯s a block.
Under such circumstances, is it possible that the country's situation has returned to normal order in just a few months, and that it is still possible to make diplomatic moves now?
But in the current situation, does the word "diplomacy" still have meaning? As for letting a person of "height" like a senior sister visit a primitive jungle country, this, this is incredible"
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Lisheng couldn't find the answer. He braved the humid weather in the rainforest and searched hard for several months but found nothing. He no longer thought about it, took off his clothes and took a comfortable hot bath. , when I was cozying up, I suddenly heard a "dong-dong" knock on the door.
"Who, who is it?" The young man stood up from the bathtub. The water droplets on his skin instantly fell cleanly. Then he wrapped his dry body in a bath towel and asked casually.
¡®Dong dong¡¡¯ The knocking on the door became louder, but no one answered.
"Pretend to be a ghost." Zhang Lisheng frowned, with a fearless and cold smile on his lips. He walked out of the bathroom nonchalantly, opened the door suddenly, and was stunned.
"Sorry to disturb you from taking a shower, Li Sheng." Outside the door, the young woman with a stern face and talking eloquently in the hotel lobby just adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, looking at the face that was thinking about everything in her memory, with a mixed expression. Chen said softly: "What, don't you welcome me?"
"It's not that you're not welcome, it's just that meeting you in the Amazon is beyond my imagination, Senior Sister Caiying." The young man came back to his senses, shrugged and said sideways.
"I am very, very surprised to see you here." Guo Caiying walked into the room, sat directly on the sofa by the window, stared into Zhang Lisheng's eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Since you have been silent After leaving Peiping suddenly, I thought I would never see you again in this life."
"I didn't leave Peiping suddenly and silently, but I was driven away. I stepped on a trap and almost died, but I escaped with a small life." The young man was silent for a while, shook his head, and argued with a wry smile. road.
"Trap," the girl's eyes widened when she heard this completely unexpected answer, revealing a dignity that was incompatible with her age and appearance at all, and said urgently: "It's not a secret that you are my guest in Peking. , who dares to be so bold?"
Zhang Lisheng sighed and replied in a low voice: "Dozens of Taoist senior monks invited me to Diaiaoao Villa in your name, and then ambushed me."
This answer was simple and vague, but it was enough for the 'smart people' to deduce everything. Guo Caiying's face gradually turned pale, and she slumped on the sofa weakly, covering her face. After a while, tears rolled down her chin. Falling.
Seeing the girl's painful expression and recalling the miserable past, Zhang Lisheng, who was filled with anger, said in a cold voice: "Senior sister, everything is over. After all, China is my motherland. For the sake of the national destiny of the people, I will not Doing the "shattering of temples" thing.
"But when the situation is stable, Taoism, I will definitely destroy its gate and destroy its roots. "
Such words left Guo Caiying speechless and felt even more heartbroken.
Seeing that the girl was crying harder and harder, the young man slowly calmed down his anger, breathed a long sigh of relief, stepped forward and patted Guo Caiying's shoulder, and said softly: "Stop crying, senior, I'm safe and sound now."
I have already guessed that you don¡¯t know about this at all. I have never blamed you. Don¡¯t be sad. By the way, why did you come to Tatetutu? It¡¯s too strange that you brought so many Taoist priests with you. ? "
Although Zhang Lisheng's method of changing the topic was blunt, it was very effective against Guo Caiying, who had already experienced a strong character and was only temporarily losing her composure. The girl quickly calmed down, wiped the tears from her face and replied: "Recently, there is solid intelligence that shows , Tatetutu is the place where the 'Gate to Another World' first appeared.
Anyone who gets this news is attracted to the forces that have been preserved. Don't you come too, do you also represent Mili, or for personal purpose? "
"Of course it is a private purpose," the young man thought for a while, and said truthfully with a slightly greedy tone: "I came to find the 'Tiantai Mountain', which is the legendary secret place where the great goddess Nuwa was buried. There may be gods there. legacy.
I think that legacy must be very useful to me. "(To be continued)
