Cheng Cheng and the Cicada

Chapter 12 Ghostly Howls

Chapter 1 The Next Morning

Lin Xian woke up early the next morning.

To be able to explore the dream realm for as long as possible, he had started sleeping at noon the day before, completely reversing his day and night.

After getting up, Lin Xian arranged to meet Brother Wang and head to Time Bank.

"Lin Xian, you're here."

Brother Wang was already waiting for Lin Xian in front of Time Bank, and laughed heartily upon seeing him:

"You were really dead asleep yesterday! I joked with Director Zhao that you might sleep until dawn, but I didn't expect you to really reply to my message at dawn."

"I've been a little tired lately, so my schedule is a little messed up."

Lin Xian brushed it off with a smile, and then asked:

"What's Director Zhao been busy with lately? Does she need me for something too?"

"No, no."

Brother Wang shook his head and walked inside with Lin Xian:

"She's not looking for you. We were just discussing some work-related matters, and I mentioned that you were sleeping during the day."

"Didn't Director Zhao's parents come from the capital? So she's been busy with family matters lately. She even called me yesterday afternoon to ask which restaurants were suitable for children, so I recommended a Chinese-Western family restaurant."

"Haha, you may think Director Zhao knows everything, but when it comes to raising children, she really enters a knowledge blind spot. My daughter used to love going to that Chinese-Western family restaurant. The food is pretty good, so I recommended it to Director Zhao."

A family restaurant?

Lin Xian was a little confused and followed Brother Wang to the bank's vault:

"Isn't Director Zhao an only child? Did her parents bring a child with them when they came to Donghai? A relative's child?"

"Probably."

Brother Wang said casually:

"Director Zhao didn't say much, just that her parents were bringing a child. If that's the case, then it's either a friend's child or a relative's child."

"In my opinion, it's probably a disguised form of urging her to get married. Her parents borrowed a child from somewhere, deliberately creating a scene of grandparents and grandchildren enjoying themselves, showing it off to Director Zhao to stimulate her."

Speaking of which, Brother Wang remembered the cool little girl who had been with Lin Xian before:

"Speaking of which, where's that little girl who was with you before? I asked my wife, and it turned out to be a misunderstanding that you two weren't related by blood. Don't you know if you've ever had a child?"

"That was a good joke, but don't do it again. How can you just grab a child off the street and take her for a paternity test? Especially since you were feeling guilty yourself! You even dragged Director Zhao into it, aren't you insulting her innocence?"

"Put yourself in her shoes, Lin Xian, think about it from her perspective."

"If one day Director Zhao picked up a little girl from the street and insisted on taking you to the hospital for a paternity test, how would you feel?"

Lin Xian listened to these shocking words and put himself in her shoes.

He felt...

It didn't seem to be the same thing at all.

But the situation was different. He didn't just grab a girl and ask Zhao Yingjun to have her blood drawn. Wasn't it all because of Huang Que's misleading?

If it weren't for Huang Que's words, "Don't leave Yu Xi," he definitely wouldn't have dragged Zhao Yingjun to have her DNA tested.

However, judging from the results,

His request at the time was indeed a bit excessive, at least not very appropriate.

"Oh, you're talking about that little girl."

Lin Xian scratched his head and came up with a reason:

"In the end, she was handed over to the police. They're professionals, and they quickly found the little girl's parents and sent her home."

"Didn't they give you a banner?" Brother Wang laughed.

"Hehe, don't I already have the title of 'Donghai City's Young Man of Courage and Righteousness'?"

Lin Xian chuckled:

"I have to live up to that title, right? It's nothing to do good deeds. Good people are rewarded."

As they spoke,

Brother Wang had already opened the vault of Time Bank, allowing Lin Xian to enter.

The two walked inside.

It was a little chilly, but that was in contrast to the weather outside. In fact, the temperature and humidity here were strictly controlled. Brother Wang was very knowledgeable about this, saying that this temperature and humidity were most conducive to the long-term preservation of items.

"What do you want to see today?"

Brother Wang stood in the middle of the vault with Lin Xian, looking around:

"What do you want to know? I'll report to you."

"How many safe deposit boxes do we have in the vault now?" Lin Xian asked.

"266."

Brother Wang blurted out.

He was very familiar with everything at Time Bank.

He pointed to the innermost corner of the vault:

"When we opened, we custom-made 266 hafnium alloy safe deposit boxes. The numbers also run from 1 to 266. See, this is No. 1, and the furthest one over there is No. 266."

"These numbers were also engraved directly at the factory. You know, hafnium alloy is so hard that if it wasn't engraved when it was made, there's no way to leave a scratch on it once it's formed. This stuff is really insane, the hardness is ridiculously high."

"So, you see those nameplates on the safe deposit boxes? The purpose of the nameplates is to engrave the customer's name. After all, we don't know the customer's name when we leave the factory, so we can only add it later. Then we can only engrave it on the nameplate."

"Although the nameplate is not made of hafnium alloy, it also uses some hafnium alloy technology. There's no problem with preserving it for hundreds of years without corrosion or rust."

Lin Xian nodded:

"Do you have any plans to add more safe deposit boxes in the future?"

"Not for the time being."

Brother Wang spread his hands:

"Of these 266 safe deposit boxes, very few have actually been sold and put into use. Look, there are only fifty or sixty that have names engraved on them and things stored inside. There are still more than 200 that haven't been activated."

"This business, how should I put it, is a long-term business. It's like not opening for decades, but making decades or hundreds of years of usage fees when you sell one. Especially after hibernation pods become popular, it will definitely be our business boom period."

"So, don't think that these time capsule-like things are unpopular now. When humans start hibernating on a large scale, safe deposit boxes may be in short supply! At that time, we may have to increase the number of safe deposit boxes. But there's no need for it now. The remaining 200 or so are enough for us to sell for a long time."

Listening to Brother Wang's description, Lin Xian rested his chin and thought.

As the ultimate owner and investor of Time Bank,

He actually had the power to change the bank's charter.

For example, this safe deposit box.

He could stipulate the subsequent numbering.

For example,

Didn't the Dragon Country people hate the number 4?

Then he could stipulate that all newly manufactured safe deposit boxes could not have the number 4 in them. When they encountered 4, they would skip the number and jump directly to 5, just like hotel rooms.

This would inevitably trigger a space-time change.

In the Fifth Dream, CC had confirmed that Gao Wen's safe deposit box number was 424; the photo of Grandpa Wei Shengjin showed that his safe deposit box number was 724.

As long as he changed the safe deposit box numbering rules now,

Then a space-time change would inevitably occur, and the space-time curvature would inevitably change. He and Liu Feng could see the changes in the readings on the space-time clock again, and then deduce the laws of space-time coordinates.

The theory was feasible.

But

It wasn't feasible in practice.

Because of that initial principle

Space-time changes were uncontrollable.

Who could guarantee that Grandpa Wei Shengjin would still choose the safe deposit box after the hafnium alloy safe deposit box number changed?

Maybe it was because safe deposit box number 724 was unlucky that no one chose it, and Grandpa Wei Shengjin was able to grab a spot at the time.

Then his plan would backfire and screw up the space-time change again.

Similarly,

In the Face Village, Gao Wen's safe deposit box was number 424.

If he renumbered the safe deposit boxes according to his rules, then the number of this safe deposit box might become 425.

It was the same concern

Would Gao Wen still choose this safe deposit box number 425?

No one could guarantee it.

Perhaps Gao Wen would choose other numbers, or perhaps other people would snatch safe deposit box number 425 first.

If that happened, all his efforts would be in vain, and he would screw himself over again, just like when the material of the safe deposit box became hafnium alloy.

If

Lin Xian suddenly had a whim.

If he screwed up in the dream and then corrected the safe deposit box numbering rules in time and restored them to their original state, would the original history and future that had deviated also be restored to their original state immediately?

There was no guarantee of this either.

Just like Time Bank.

To be honest, the Time Bank that had been re-established under his intervention was very different from the original Time Bank.

The business was wider, the funds were more abundant, and the number of safe deposit boxes was larger. It was completely two different banks.

This was one of the pains of rewriting the future. There was no way to restore the future to its original state. It was completely uncontrollable.

What's more, the most important thing

Space-time changes didn't happen in real time. There had to be an irreversible anchor point.

It had to be irreversible.

The future and the world line would change.

Since it was already irreversible, how could you take it back? It was completely a fool's dream.

Therefore,

The most stable and cautious approach at the moment was

Before he opened Gao Wen's safe deposit box and saw what was inside, he must not act rashly and trigger the space-time butterfly effect. Otherwise, he might never see Gao Wen's safe deposit box.

He could wait until Gao Wen's safe deposit box was opened to confirm whether the things inside were valuable and whether they were really stored by Academician Gao Wen.

Then, after there were no more concerns, he could try to trigger an uncontrollable space-time change and rewrite the future.

Similarly,

Lin Xian also thought of a possibility.

The safe deposit box that he and Grandpa Wei Shengjin dug out was No. 1277, belonging to a customer named Pang Ya.

This safe deposit box, as far as he could see, had no value to him.

Moreover,

Because he knew its exact location, this was also the safe deposit box that Lin Xian could find most easily.

But its number was as high as 1277.

This batch of safe deposit boxes was obviously produced not long before the 2400s. Maybe the Earth's super disaster happened not long after it was made.

Could he make use of this safe deposit box?

Lin Xian had thought that he could make a will-like thing.

For example,

He could pay the full amount for safe deposit box number 1277 in 2024 and state that when safe deposit box number 1277 was manufactured, the staff of Time Bank would move the things in his safe deposit box number 66 to safe deposit box number 1277.

At the same time, he would also help him set the password for safe deposit box number 1277 to be the same as No. 66, 20240328.

In this way, when he and Grandpa Wei Shengjin dug out safe deposit box number 1277 again in the Fifth Dream, it would be his safe deposit box.

Everything would be as he wished, and he could see the note and invite CC to witness this historical moment together.

This plan seemed perfect,

But in fact,

It was also completely infeasible.

The problem was still the old problem of the irreversible anchor point.

Even if he made a will now, paid the full amount for safe deposit box number 1277, and explained everything clearly, there would be no change in the Fifth Dream.

Until safe deposit box number 1277 was actually produced and his things were stored in it,

The irreversible anchor point would be truly formed.

From that moment on, safe deposit box number 1277 in the Fifth Dream would become his.

Maybe it would be 2397?

2399?

Everything was possible.

But in any case, Lin Xian couldn't wait, he couldn't wait for that time.

This was the extremely rigorous space-time logic and space-time laws. No wonder Huang Que had said countless times that this thing was very important.

At present, it did seem important.

As long as you understood the space-time laws deeply enough and thoroughly enough, you could deduce whether something was feasible or not without trying, without taking risks, and without trial and error.

The current situation was like this.

Due to the strict and harsh space-time laws, he couldn't influence those safe deposit boxes that had not yet appeared.

However,

Was he just going to give up like this?

Was there any way to ensure that Gao Wen's safe deposit box continued to exist, and at the same time, allow the value of the space-time clock to change again and obtain the data on space-time curvature again?

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

He began to recall some of the details that had been ignored.

He remembered safe deposit box number 1277 that he and Grandpa Wei Shengjin had dug out in the Fifth Dream.

He recalled

He recalled

He recalled

It seemed that the font used to engrave the name on the nameplate was slightly different!

He opened his eyes.

He came to safe deposit box number 66, his safe deposit box, and looked at the name engraved on the nameplate.

It was the standard Microsoft YaHei font.

He had studied design, so he could see the difference in the font at a glance.

In the Fifth Dream, on the nameplate of safe deposit box number 1277, the strokes of Pang Ya's name were obviously sharper. The font looked like Song typeface.

The reason for the change in font was probably related to the changes in the times.

Perhaps the Microsoft YaHei font had been phased out after hundreds of years?

Or was it that it couldn't be used due to copyright issues?

In short,

For some unknown reason, the font on the hafnium alloy safe deposit box nameplate had indeed changed over hundreds of years of operation.

Lin Xian tried hard to recall the photo that Grandpa Wei Shengjin had shown him. On the photo, Grandpa Wei Shengjin's nameplate was still Microsoft YaHei.

That meant that at least before safe deposit box number 724, the Microsoft YaHei font was used to engrave names.

Naturally, Gao Wen's safe deposit box also used Microsoft YaHei.

That was perfect!

Lin Xian thought of a way to make the space-time change happen again without affecting Gao Wen's safe deposit box

He only needed to strictly stipulate that all future safe deposit boxes in Time Bank must use the Microsoft YaHei font to engrave customers' names. Then, the name on safe deposit box number 1277 would definitely become Microsoft YaHei!

Regardless of whether safe deposit box number 1277 still belonged to Pang Ya.

Lin Xian didn't care.

He only needed to confirm that there was any change in the safe deposit box that was dug out. Then, the value of Liu Feng's space-time clock would definitely change again.

That was the key!

"Brother Wang."

Lin Xian pulled Brother Wang over and pointed to the font on the safe deposit box:

"This font is Microsoft YaHei, right?"

"Yes, it should be." Brother Wang didn't pay much attention:

"There shouldn't be any infringement issues, right? Is this considered commercial use?"

Lin Xian smiled slightly:

"It's hard to say. There are many cases of font infringement now. How is this nameplate engraved? By hand or by laser?"

"It must be a small laser engraver." Brother Wang said:

"Where can you find a hand-engraving master now? But what you said makes sense. Font copyright disputes happen every year. Anyway, we haven't paid for the Microsoft YaHei font. If they really come to us, we'll definitely be willing to pay the copyright fee."

"And I don't understand whether this method is considered infringement or not. Why don't I pull in the legal counsel to ask? Ah, you're really careful, Lin Xian. I've never paid attention to this issue."

"We outsource the laser engraving work to a third-party company. Whenever we need to engrave a name, I call them. We've never studied the font issue. But I think their company must have bought the Microsoft YaHei font license since they're in this business, right?"

Lin Xian nodded:

"Perhaps this company has it, but Time Bank's goal is to operate for hundreds of years and provide long-term storage for people. We can become a century-old brand, but can that laser engraving company do it?"

"Even if we increase the number of safe deposit boxes and find a new laser engraving company, I believe they'll probably have the Microsoft YaHei font copyright. But no one can predict what will happen in hundreds of years."

"What if one day the Microsoft YaHei font can't be legally used all over the world due to some dispute or copyright issue? Then we'll have to use a new font to engrave customers' names?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Brother Wang rubbed his hands, realizing the problem.

He was a perfectionist with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He had participated in the design and quality control of every corner of this hafnium alloy safe deposit box, so how could he have overlooked the font detail?

If it was really hundreds of years later,

There would be thousands of hafnium alloy safe deposit boxes in the vault, and half of them would use the Microsoft YaHei font and the other half would use other fonts. His obsessive-compulsive disorder would definitely drive him crazy!

Although he definitely wouldn't live to see hundreds of years later,

The thought that the bank he had painstakingly established would not even be able to unify the font on the safe deposit boxes' names would definitely make him die with his eyes open! Even his blood pressure was rising now!

"Then what should we do?"

Brother Wang thought:

"Why don't we take advantage of the fact that there aren't many nameplates now and change them all to Song typeface! The Song typeface is copyright-free and can be used for free forever."

Lin Xian shook his head.

That wouldn't work. If he switched to Song typeface now, then the names on Gao Wen's safe deposit box and Wei Shengjin's safe deposit box would also become Song typeface.

Wei Shengjin was fine.

What if Gao Wen was also a perfectionist, didn't like Song typeface, and then didn't store a safe deposit box?

This idea was a bit nitpicky and stubborn.

But Lin Xian couldn't take the risk.

After all,

He had very high expectations for Gao Wen, Academician Gao Wen!

"There's no need to be so troublesome."

Lin Xian waved his hand:

"Doesn't the company account have 3 billion? We'll just buy the ownership of the Microsoft YaHei font and make it belong to Rhine Company no, directly to Time Bank!"

"We don't care how others misuse this font, but we must ensure that the ownership of the Microsoft YaHei font is in our hands, and ensure that Time Bank's hafnium alloy safe deposit boxes can always use the Microsoft YaHei font to engrave customers' names, no matter how many numbers are produced in the future."

Brother Wang was stunned:

"Is is that necessary? Buying the license to use the font is indeed cheap, but buying the ownership of the font directly, especially a popular font like Microsoft YaHei, is probably not cheap, right?"

"Actually, Lin Xian, we only need to buy the lifetime license. There is this kind of authorization method, and it doesn't cost much."

"There's no need to be so frugal."

Lin Xian waved his hand:

"What's the point of putting so much money in the company account? Isn't money meant to be spent? It doesn't matter if the money is spent, we'll just earn it again."

Anyway, he could copy technology back from the future. As long as the opportunity was right, it would be easy to make Rhine Company bigger and stronger.

"The sooner the better, call Founder Company now."

Lin Xian urged:

"I remember that the copyright of the Microsoft YaHei font, although the name is Microsoft, is actually owned by Dragon Country's Founder Company. Contact them now and give them an offer they can't refuse within the financial capacity of our company. The sooner the better."

Brother Wang nodded and left directly.

About half an hour later, Brother Wang came back and gave an OK gesture:

"Lin Xian, it may be that I quoted a high price. They agreed immediately and said they would bring the official seal to Donghai to sign the contract immediately. Um I think I quoted too high, probably much higher. The other party is very excited."

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Xian smiled:

"It's good to buy it. Then get the procedures done with them as soon as possible. Seeing how anxious they are, the copyright of the Microsoft YaHei font will probably be in our hands by noon today."

"You continue to be busy, Brother Wang. I'll take a walk in the morning and then go home to catch up on sleep. I'm a little sleepy lately."

Brother Wang looked incredulous and gave a thumbs up:

"Your sleep quality is really enviable. You can fall asleep whenever you want, and you can sleep for so long. No wonder your hair is so good."

He went out,

Got into his own Alpha private car, and said goodbye to Brother Wang.

Lin Xian asked Xiao Li to drive in the direction of the large shopping mall.

He would definitely be dreaming during the day often in the near future, so he had to fill the refrigerator at home first to avoid having nothing to eat when he woke up in the middle of the night.

The white Alpha van turned right,

Made a U-turn,

Got on the elevated road, and drove quickly.

At the same time,

On the other side of Donghai,

Another white Alpha van drove off the elevated road and headed to a luxury private hospital in the suburbs.

Zhao Yingjun sat in the back seat.

She pressed the car window down,

Blowing in the spring breeze of nearly May, feeling the lurking of summer.

She could already see the building of that luxury private hospital.

Although the area was not as large as a public hospital,

But,

It was said that the level of DNA testing at this private hospital was the best in the world.

Since she had decided to do a DNA test, then she might as well come to the most professional and accurate place to get an indisputable answer.

She opened her handbag and looked at the two small plastic bags containing hair.

The left plastic bag contained Yan Qiaoqiao's hair, half-long, not short, curled into four or five circles, calmly curled in the plastic bag.

The right plastic bag contained Zhao Yingjun's own hair. The hair was very long and curled into a ball, just like her mood at this time.

She didn't believe a word of what her parents explained.

She was innocent and hadn't even had a boyfriend, so how could she have a child?

Besides, she was a woman.

Didn't she know if she had ever given birth to a child?

But

She also understood that her parents were both highly educated intellectuals and wouldn't say such absurd things without any basis.

There must be some secret hidden in this.

And this secret was not difficult to find the truth.

Just do a DNA test?

All the answers would naturally be revealed.

Getting out of the car, there were special reception personnel.

This kind of luxury private hospital specialized in serving wealthy people, and the quality of service and attitude was definitely top-notch.

She came to a private clinic.

Zhao Yingjun directly took out the two plastic bags containing hair and placed them on the table:

"I want to do a DNA test. What is the relationship between these two hair samples?"

"No problem, Miss Zhao."

The doctor took it politely and made a note of the number.

In a private hospital, the customer was supreme. If the guest didn't say whose hair it was, the doctor would never ask more questions.

After all,

Those in this industry had seen too many dog-blood dramas.

He skillfully marked the hair sample on the left as A and the right as B.

Then he showed it to Zhao Yingjun so that she would have a clear idea of who was A and who was B.

"By the way, Miss Zhao,"

The doctor asked while recording:

"What kind of relationship do you think these two samples might have? This way, we can focus on it during the test, which can improve efficiency and get the results earlier."

"It should be a sister relationship."

Zhao Yingjun answered:

"It's probably a sister relationship, but other relationships are not ruled out. In short, screen and check more results. I'm not in a hurry. I'll come to pick up the results tonight."

"No problem, Miss Zhao. We'll wait for you tonight."

The doctor said no more.

He had already understood.

It was probably a problem of illegitimate daughters fighting for family property. It was very common in his client base.

After explaining everything,

Zhao Yingjun walked out of the hospital building.

The driver had already opened the Alpha electric door and was waiting in the parking lot.

She was wearing a dark green coat, stepping on high heels, and emerald earrings swayed and refracted in the sun, striding towards the vehicle.

Suddenly,

Zhao Yingjun stopped.

She felt as if her heart was beating slightly faster a few times.

Then she turned her head back,

Looking at the hospital building she had just walked out of:

"Why am I so nervous for no reason?"

She chuckled.

Shook her head.

If anyone should be nervous, it should be her parents.

She had a clear conscience.

What was there to be nervous about?

Besides,

If she really had a little sister in her teens, it wouldn't be bad. As an only child, she had always envied those families with siblings.

She also liked being a sister.

At this moment,

She really hoped that Yan Qiaoqiao could be related to her by blood.

"Am I going to be a sister?"

She smiled inexplicably.

She tucked the broken hair on her right cheek behind her ear, got into the van, closed the door, and went back to the company for a meeting.

Noon.

12:10 PM.

Lin Xian had finished lunch, filled the refrigerator, and was ready to start his second adventure in the Fifth Dream.

This time, there were mainly three goals:

1. First, follow the original route to find Grandpa Wei Shengjin, and then dig out safe deposit box number 1277 to see if the font on it has changed, so as to determine the space-time curvature and the law of space-time coordinate changes.
2. Continue to follow the original route to meet CC and discuss follow-up plans after making contact. Whether it was going back to the Face Village or having her take him because she was familiar with the road, in short, he had to move forward towards Gao Wen's safe deposit box.
3. If he had free time, continue to use Grandpa Wei Shengjin's metal detector to find hafnium alloy safe deposit boxes to see if he could find his own safe deposit box number 66.

These were the only three goals.

He hoped to make some breakthroughs in this dream.

After washing up and before getting into bed, Lin Xian called Liu Feng:

"Are you in the lab, Liu Feng? Can you check what value is currently displayed on the space-time clock?"

"Still 0.0000042, no change."

Liu Feng replied:

"I've been staring at it. I've been putting it next to me even when I sleep these days. If there is a change, I'll notify you."

"Okay."

With that, Lin Xian hung up the phone.

Hmm,

How should he explain this?

According to his understanding, Brother Wang and Founder Company had already reached an agreement on the ownership of the Microsoft YaHei font.

Moreover, due to Brother Wang's exaggerated offer, the other party couldn't wait to stuff the contract into Brother Wang's mouth, chew it up, and make him unable to spit it out.

Could it be that this didn't count as an irreversible anchor point?

"Logically speaking, the font on safe deposit box number 1277 in the Fifth Dream should have changed."

"Then, if the space-time change has clearly happened, why hasn't the value of the space-time curvature on the space-time clock changed?"

"Is the accuracy of the space-time clock not enough? Or is it due to other reasons?"

Lin Xian couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, let's sleep and see what happens in the dream!

He closed the curtains,

Lay on the bed,

Closed his eyes,

Slowly, he entered the dream.

Whoosh,

The cool summer breeze brushed past, making him feel extremely comfortable.

His nasal cavity was filled with the fragrance of green grass and flowers, which was especially comfortable, washing his entire lungs.

He opened his eyes.

It was still the same starting point.

The surrounding flowers, plants, trees, and vines had not changed at all.

This was Donghai.

It was just the Donghai of the past.

The ruins of the international metropolis were buried under the thick soil, symbolizing the demise of a civilization.

"It's time to start acting."

Lin Xian turned his head and ran to the right in the direction he remembered.

As a result,

He found that he had really overestimated his memory.

In this dense jungle with no reference points, no compass, and where he couldn't see the position of the sun, it was impossible to find the right direction!

Before long, he was lost.

Turning left and right, he could no longer distinguish the directions.

What

What should he do?

It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He couldn't find Grandpa Wei Shengjin at all.

Helpless,

He had no choice but to grab a direction that he remembered and run with all his might.

When he ran to a place where the trees were slightly sparser, he shouted loudly around him:

"Teacher Wei! Teacher Wei!"

"Teacher Wei, can you hear me?!"

The echo rippled through the jungle, but there was no response.

Couldn't he hear him?

Or was it that he heard him but didn't dare to make a sound?

Lin Xian remembered that Grandpa Wei Shengjin was very vigilant when he first met him and almost drew his gun for an American-style quick draw.

He should call his real name.

Lin Xian gritted his teeth and decided to go all out.

Anyway, there was no one in this area

Calling his real name would at least give Grandpa Wei Shengjin some sense of security when he heard it. Maybe he would hold his gun and follow the sound to find him.

Just in time,

There was a plant similar to a banana leaf next to him.

The leaves were very large.

Lin Xian directly broke off a large leaf, rolled it up, rolled it into a cone shape, and made it into a shape like a trumpet.

It was a natural megaphone, not bad.

Then he put it in front of his mouth,

Facing the silent forest,

He gathered his strength in his *dantian*,

And shouted loudly:

"Wei Shengjin!!! Wei Shengjin!!"

"Wei Shengjin"

Then, he changed direction and held up the banana leaf trumpet high:

"Wei Shengjin! Wei Shengjin! Wei Sheng"

Whoosh.

A graceful black shadow fell from the treetop and landed directly in front of Lin Xian.

Lin Xian took down the banana leaf trumpet,

Looking at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him,

The deep brown hair that was coiled up, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and

The contemptuous, disgusting, and hateful gaze that she looked at him with as if he were trash.

CC frowned, deliberately standing further away, and looked at Lin Xian with an incomprehensible gaze:

"What are you shouting about here, you big man?"
