Chapter 268 There is a snake swallowing an elephant with a body length of a thousand feet

   "This kid is very diligent and enthusiastic. No matter how I look at him, he will regard this as his own home?" Wang An's grandfather said.

   "Oh, he told me that when he saw you, it was as if he saw his parents whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

   "Is it appropriate for him to stay here? Our village is still under quarantine?"

   "He's already come in. If he wants to stay here, he can stay here. He can't be idle. If he comes to our house again in the future, you can just tell him what to do."

   "Then how can it work, he is a guest after all!" Wang An's grandmother said.

   "Okay, he's going to be very happy." Wang An said with a smile.

   "What is your grandma's and grandpa's impression of me?" An Ming has asked this question more than once in the past two days.

   "General." Wang An said calmly.

   To be honest, he didn't have that kind of intimacy with this uncle who suddenly appeared, although he was indeed his own uncle.

  It’s like an orphan working alone in society, having tasted all the ups and downs in the world, and finally succeeding in his career, suddenly a person appeared in front of him and told him.

   "Son, I am your own father."

   Then it was determined through blood relationship that they were indeed father and son.

  Do you think that son will have that joyful feeling? To a large extent, it may just be a shock and a hint of surprise.

   After all, he came here by himself during the most difficult time in his life. As the closest relative, he didn't accompany him when he needed it. The only family relationship left was blood relationship.

  Wang An's feelings for this uncle are like this.

  Of course, his feelings are not equal to those of the two old people. If the two old people know that their long-lost son is still alive, they must be extremely happy.

  The reason why he didn't let An Ming meet the two old people was because he was worried that the two old people would be too happy, which would have a negative impact on their health.

  Great sadness and joy will affect people's health.

  Fan Jinzhong immediately went crazy after Ju, his mother moved into the compound with three entrances and three exits, seeing the silk and satin and the servants serving him, she went straight to heaven. This is a typical case of extreme joy begets sorrow.

   "When do you think I can recognize them?" An Ming continued to ask.

   "Wait a little longer." Wang Andao.

   "Okay, then wait."

   An Ming nodded, he felt that it was good to be able to accompany the two old people now, and he cherished the time in front of him very much.

   That night, he received a call from home, which was from his wife.

   "Are you still on a business trip, when will you be back?"

   "After a while, what about Lele and Kangkang?"

   "I'm doing my homework,"

   "The customer we talked about last time wants the goods."

   "Understood, I'll go back soon." An Ming hung up the phone and looked outside.

  The next morning he came to the old man's house and prepared a delicious breakfast for the two old people in the name of Cengfan.

   "Is there anything I can do for you?" After breakfast, An Ming asked Wang And alone.

   "Help me, help me with what?"

   "That is, um, do you have any difficulties in your life now, such as money, work, etc., I can help you."

   "Oh, no, it's pretty good." Wang Andao.

   "That's the case. I have some things to deal with outside. I have to leave for a while. I will come back as soon as possible. During this time, your grandma and grandpa will trouble you to take care of them."

   "You don't need to arrange this matter. You need to be quarantined for a period of time before going out, so as not to leave with germs and cause a wider spread of infection, although this possibility is very small."

   "Well, of course."

   Then An Ming left the village and was quarantined. Wang An also contacted Lu Xiangyi and asked him to find a way to follow An Ming.

   "What is this person's identity, why did he suddenly enter the mountain village?"

   "His identity is a bit special, find someone to follow him, and see if there are other people behind him."

   "Okay, leave it to me."

   "Your voice is cloudy, hoarse, and lacking confidence. What's wrong?"

   "High fever, dizziness, fatigue, and is receiving treatment." Lu Xiangyi said on the other end of the phone. At this time, he had already been admitted to the hospital and received specialized treatment.

   Now experts are consulting with him. They found that Lu Xiangyi's illness is very strange. His body temperature is very high, but there are no signs of inflammation or infection in his body. His illness is more like an abnormality in his own body metabolism.

  Through the video, Wang An saw that Lu Xiangyi's face turned red, and then looked at his tongue coating.

  This shows that there is a fire in him, and it is extremely hot.

   "Have you eaten anything special lately?"

   "Something special? I've had Chidan Powder."

"What it is?"

   "Red Dan powder is the granule made from the improved red red red powder. I just tasted it and took a sip. My illness is not related to this, is it?"

   "It's possible, the medicinal properties of the red pill are as fierce as fire, even a little powder is enough for you. Do you have a burning feeling in your internal organs, like a fire?"

   "It does feel that way."

   "I don't know how your so-called improved version of Chidan was improved. Now you should find some medicinal materials that can nourish the internal organs. After taking it, it may have some effect."

   "Okay, I'll try."

   "I'm just a suggestion, you have to find a doctor and listen to professionals"

   "I think you are professional enough."

  The mountain village was unsealed after a month of isolation, and this matter seems to have come to an end. On the second day after the unblocking, a postman delivered a package to Wang An's home.

  The consignor was Su Anming. When he opened it, he found that it was filled with local specialties of Pingcheng and some supplements. This person is Su Anming's filial piety to the two old people.

   One day later, Li Xinzhu, who had disappeared for a month, also came to the mountain village, looking very worried.

   "What's the matter, you look preoccupied?" Wang An asked with a smile.

   "I'm in trouble." Li Xinzhu took a deep breath and said.

   "What's the matter?"

   "I killed someone."

   "Murder?!" Wang An was taken aback, "Who?"

   "Scum."

   "Is that considered a brave act?"

   "No, being brave is a bit excessive."

  After Li Xinzhu’s description, he accidentally found out that someone was conducting illegal organ trading and kidnapped two children, and then he did it. Unexpectedly, the other party was so ungrateful that all four people died.

  He has experienced what a punch is. Then trouble came, after all, four people died at once.

   Then he was invited inside and locked up for a while, which is why he couldn't come to the mountain village during this time.

   "I am now faced with these two choices. One is to live there for ten or eight years. The other is to join the Special Affairs Bureau."

   "Hey, why do I feel like you fell into someone else's trap?"

   "I thought about this possibility afterward. What do you think I should do now?"

   "It depends on what you want to do. If you don't want to join, then ask Lu Xiangyi or Xu Qi to help you and see if it can be accommodated. If you want to join, then borrow the donkey."

   "They negotiated terms with me, very attractive."

   "Tell me."

   "I don't need to clock in and do not restrict my movement. All kinds of benefits are issued as usual, and the current business is going on as usual. I can continue to do things like this in the future. I just need to consider the social impact and don't make too much noise. If the Special Affairs Bureau needs it, I have to do my best to help."

   "That's fine!" Wang An said after hearing this. There is enough sincerity in this solicitation.

   "I guess it's also for your sake."

   "Not exactly, it might have been before, but now you have enough strength."

   "Honestly, I want to join."

   Li Hsinchu was really moved. In fact, most people want to eat official meals.

   "Then join." Wang An said with a smile.

   "But I'm afraid it will bring you trouble. They asked me to solve some things. If I can't solve it and get into trouble, they will definitely come to you, that is, contact you through me." Li Xinzhu still sees this point very clearly.

   "It depends on your own choice. If you are in trouble, I will help you."

   "I think even if I refuse now, they may find a way to set me up in the future. At present, I can't do your detachment, so I decided to agree to them first, and then work hard to improve my strength. When I am strong enough, I can naturally say no to anyone like you."

   "This idea is very thorough." Wang An smiled after hearing this.

  In a base on the outskirts of Beiyi Mountain, some people are holding a meeting. They have found the reason why the two teams that went down into the crack were completely annihilated.

  "The cause of their sacrifice is this unknown microorganism, once infected by it, it will reproduce in large numbers in the human body within a very short period of time.

  During the reproduction process, this germ not only absorbs the nutrients in human tissues, but also releases a unique substance, which acts as liquid nitrogen and rapidly reduces the surrounding temperature.

   Simply put, this kind of microorganism is changing the surrounding environment and creating an environment suitable for their survival. A scientific researcher pointed to a picture on the screen.

   "In other words, this microbe doesn't like high temperatures?"

   "Yes, tests have shown that they can survive for up to two minutes in an environment exceeding 50 degrees, and they cannot survive under sunlight, nor can they survive in the air for a long time."

   "Is there any antimicrobial that will kill them?"

  "Existing antibacterial drugs are effective against them, but they cannot work in the human body. We know that drugs must pass through the blood circulation to work, and the metabolites of this microorganism will block the human body's circulatory system in a short period of time, and then rapidly replicate and proliferate."

   "Are they contagious by contact?"

   "It's not just about contact. This microorganism is similar to mold and produces spores. These spores are very light. They are likely to float in the underground space. Once inhaled, they will germinate in the human body and grow rapidly."

   "That is to say, if we want to go underground and see what's in the palace, we need to be fully armed and wear a breathing filter?"

   "Yes, of course this is just an analysis we made based on the existing situation. We don't know what's going on underground."

   "Is this microbe untreatable once infected?"

   "This is the current situation."

   "What kind of environment can produce such a terrible thing?"

  The researcher who introduced him shook his head. It was the first time he had seen such a terrifying microorganism.

  At the meeting, a person took out another document and projected it on the screen.

   "You must have read this personal profile. According to the information we have received, he may have also entered an underground crack and caused a series of infections, but the pathogenic bacteria found in his body are completely different from what you just said. What is the reason?"

   "It is normal to have a large number of different types of microorganisms in an environment. These invisible and intangible things are often the scariest."

  In the mountain village, as the sun was setting, Wang An looked at the package in his hand. It was very small, about the size of a mobile phone box. Someone handed it to him specially, but there was no contact information on it.

   "Playing tricks." Wang An directly handed the package to the postman. "From where to hand it back to where to go."

  The postman took the package and tore it open in front of Wang An.

   "This customer has left a message. If you don't accept it, please open it in front of your face." As he spoke, the postman checked the package and found an envelope with two photos and a letter inside.

   "Have a look?" The postman handed the letter and photo to Wang An.

   "What is this?" Li Xinzhu on the side curiously took it and looked at the photo.

   "Fuck, is this true or not?"

  One photo shows a huge skeleton, winding on the ground like a ridge, which looks like a huge snake. There is a person standing under the snake's head, and this person is not half as tall as the snake's head.

  Another photo shows a stone tablet with some ancient texts on it, and there is a person beside him who seems to have died not long ago.

   "There is a snake that can swallow an elephant. It is more than a thousand feet long. After death, it becomes a mountain. In the past, there was a fountain of youth, and the life span of drinking it was three hundred." Li Xinzhu read the contents of the letter.

   "I heard that Mr. is superbly skilled, and I would like to invite Mr. to find the way to heaven together. Sincerely, I salute you."

   "Road to Heaven, what do you mean?" Li Xinzhu turned to look at Wang An.

   "Literally." Wang An looked at the two photos, especially the first one, the snake bone of the big snake.

   "Do you think this is true? It looks like a hundred meters long. How can a snake grow so big?"

   "The snake swallows the elephant, it is the Ba snake. According to the "Shan Hai Jing", the Ba snake eats the elephant and comes out of its bones at the age of three. It is rumored that the descendants once shot the Ba snake and cut it into two pieces. Its body turned into a mountain called Baling. These are creatures in myths and legends."

   "What about the Fountain of Youth?"

   "Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this is also something in a fairy tale."
