Moonshine & Valentine: His Excellency’s First Love (Love Knot) - Chapter 33

As soon as the car turned from the fork into the highway, it immediately began to speed up.

Although Helan Jingting always drove fast, Pippi felt that this time it was because he was angry. So she sat nervously not beside her, watching the street lights by the side of the road fly back, and the lights and shadows rained on the car windows.

This highway was newly built, and the Jungong Times also sent reporters to interview. Pippi faintly felt that this area was familiar, and he seemed to have been here before, especially the river beside the road, the weeping willows on the bank, and the chimney of the factory opposite.

I don’t know if it’s the smell of Xiuyu’s own body or the perfume that smells from the car. In fact, the scent list doesn’t smell bad, it smells of pine wood, but I don’t know why Pipi feels dizzy after smelling it. She glanced at Helan Jingting quietly, and found that he was driving attentively without speaking.

Maybe it’s offended him. Pippi thought to himself, despite the instructions of the priest, he insisted on eating the vegetables on the table. How could the priest not be angry? However, the priest may not know that Pipi has low blood sugar, and when he gets hungry, he desperately wants to eat. Pippi felt that his “rudeness” was forgivable.

But the priest ignored her for fifteen minutes, which was unprecedented.

At this moment, Pippi suddenly said, “Actually, I have been to this place.”

Helan Jingting’s head tilted, showing an expression of listening.

“Xin Xiaoju’s home lives nearby.”

This is obviously not the answer he guessed, so he turned his head back and continued driving.

After a while, seeing Pippi without speaking, he finally asked, “Who is Xin Xiaoju?”

“My good friend is also a middle school classmate.” Pippi pointed to a cemetery on the other side of the river. “Xiaoju always said that the reason she was unlucky in her life was because of bad feng shui where she lived: in the back is the crematorium, on the left is The tomb of the martyrs is next door to the wreath shop. On the opposite side of the river is the tomb of the martyrs. The tomb of the martyrs was after liberation. It used to be a mass grave where prisoners were buried.”

Helan Jingting’s eyes flickered, and he said “Yes.”

“Why didn’t you let me eat the meal just now?” Pippi asked.

“Didn’t you say it? You can’t eat snake meat.”

“Don’t lie to me, it’s definitely not snake meat. Could it be human flesh?” Pippi thought this was very funny, and laughed twice, feeling dull and unable to laugh.

Helan Jingting’s voice came out: “We Fox have many tribes, and each tribe has its own eating habits.”

Pippi nodded: “For example, at the party that night, many people ate chicken.”

“This is the majority. They are very gentle, dedicated to cultivation, and have no competition in the world. A bit like the worker bees in the hive.”

“Do you mean that they are responsible for gathering vitality to supply a few people?-This is the case in class society.”

“No.” Helan Jingting glanced back at her, surprised at her class sensitivity, “I mean, they have no ability to reproduce. They can have fun, but they cannot reproduce.”

“Can’t women either?”

“Neither men nor women can.”

“That…” That’s it. Pippi began to play drums in his heart, “Helan, are you also a worker bee?”

A faint smile slid over his lips: “Do you want me to be or not?”

“Yeah…” Pippi hmmed for a long time, but couldn’t answer, so she smirked at the window.

“For us, love does not refer to reproduction. A person can have love whether he can have offspring or not.”

No one understands this truth. Pippi said depressed, “So, you are a worker bee?”

Helan Jingting was noncommittal: “Xiuyu and Kannaga are not. They are ferocious carnivores among the fox tribe, but they don’t eat live food. For the sake of understanding, I will call them corpse cannibals for now.”

“In other words, they eat animal carcasses.” Pippi thought it was not difficult to understand. “We humans eat too. Don’t KFC stores sell fried chicken every day? It’s nothing strange.”

Helan hesitated and said, “It’s fine if you can understand.”

“So their physical fitness is different from that of most fox fairies, and they have a strong ability to reproduce?”

“We call it BWO.” Helan Jingting looked at the street lamp in the distance, her voice was a bit misty, “They only have one body and one reproductive organ, no internal organs.”

Pippi looked at him in surprise, thinking that he was talking about a metaphor, and the topic became more and more abstract.

“Don’t they even have the heart, lungs and stomach? So, how do they breathe and digest?”

“Pippi, welcome you to the world of foxes.” He turned the steering wheel calmly, “If you imagine our body as something organized and systematic, you simply have the wrong direction.”

“But how can a void body multiply in large numbers?”

Helan Jingting smiled suddenly.

“Why are you laughing?”

“You don’t understand nothingness.” He said, “Reproduction is a process from nothing to something. It is because there is nothing that it can continue to exist.”

“If there is nothing, how can this body guarantee that what it reproduces must be exactly the same as the original?”

“No guarantee. Sometimes they reproduce as they are, and sometimes new and completely different species appear. But with the abuse and deterioration of the environment, they produce the latter type less and less. In fact, when everyone finds foxes When a brand-new species cannot be produced, some people are worried and think it is a symbol of the decline and death of foxes. I am one of these people. Others think that the most important thing for survival is reproduction. In other words, this world must have reproduction. A sufficient number of foxes, not fox fairies. Because reproduction is a taboo in cultivation, unless he is a fox species. For thousands of years, our foxes have always regarded longevity and cultivation as our highest dream. We dream of becoming human Now, this dream has collapsed. So some people argue that we should give up practice and imitate human beings. A fox’s life is twelve years old, and he should die naturally when he is twelve years old. Our primary goal of survival should be It is the space and scope of reproduction and expansion of survival.”

Pippi remembered the conversation in the restaurant just now: “So someone started ordering that no application for immortality should be approved.”

“Yes.”

“Who is Zhao Song?” Pippi asked suddenly.

“He is a disciple of Helan Wei. There are two priests in the race, the left priest and the right priest. He is the left priest.”

“Are you the right priest?”

Helan Jingting nodded.

It seems that the politics of the Fox tribe is also very complicated. But Pippi only cares about one problem:

“Then are you a worker bee?”

“We cannot reproduce with humans.”

“You should be half human and half fox?”

“So I’m blind.”

“So…hmm…is there a little more human part in you, or a little more fox part?”

“Is this important to you?”

“I just want to know you better.”

“Except that I look like a human-this is like all fox fairies, I have no place to be human. I am an authentic fox.”

“You mean… mean… the hairy kind in “Animal World”?”

“Ok.”

These facts need to be chewed, so Pippi is silent.

After a while, seeing her silent for a long time, Helan Jingting touched her head: “What, Pippi, are you scared?”

“What is there to be afraid of? Confucius said that there are brothers in the world.” Pippi patted his shoulder very boldly and masculinely, “I’m not afraid at all, at least you haven’t scared me.”

Before the words fell, the car shook suddenly, then suddenly slowed down, and quickly switched to the side road.

Pippi craned his neck and looked outside the car, and found a white off-road jeep closely following them. Not only did it not mean to slow down, but if Helan Jingting flashed fast, he would hit it. The moment they changed lanes, the car went out like a bullet and quickly became a point.

“Oh my God!” Pippi was scared into a cold sweat. “What did this driver do? Is he drunk?”

“Mostly.” After avoiding it, Helan Jingting speeded up to catch up. “My speed is already 180, and he drives faster than me.”

They gradually caught up to the jeep. Helan Jingting cautiously kept a distance from it. As expected, the driver seemed to be drunk. Not only did he keep changing lanes and overtaking, he knocked over a few buckets, and for a second he also hit the fence beside the road, wiping out a bright spark.

“It looks like something is going to happen.” This scene seemed to be a chasing car in an action movie, and Pippi’s heart was pounding. Within two seconds, a sudden “boom” was heard, and the car really lost control in the distance. The whole car turned several somersaults in the air, crossed the railing, and disappeared from their sight.

“Oops! It must have been fatal!”

Pippi’s first reaction was to pick up the phone and dial one to zero. After calling for a long time, the line was actually busy, and he said to Helan Jingting: “Quickly stop, let’s go see if there is any help.”

The car quickly stopped at the accident site.

It was quiet all around, with no cars passing by. Helan Jingting turned off the lights and said, “You continue to call the police, I will go down and have a look.”

Below the railing is a **** leading to a very steep grass ditch. Pipi got out of the car and looked into the grass ditch. It was black and could not see anything.

Pippi moved two steps to the left, and suddenly stepped on something soft. Ding Qing saw that the thing was not in shape, it was just a **** mass. Pippi felt a horror and screamed, no matter what it was, she hugged Helan Jingting’s neck tightly and pointed to the ground at the same time. , Speechless for a long time.

“Helan, then… what is that thing?”

Helan Jingting glanced, did not speak, took her back into the car, closed the door, and said, “Drunk driving at this speed, people must be hopeless. I will go and see, you are waiting here. ”

“Then you go and get back soon, okay?” Pippi felt ghastly all around, and she was shaking.

She was talking on her cellphone like crazy in the car, and after a few minutes, she finally got the phone connected, and then she stammered about what had happened. But she couldn’t tell the location, only that it was Highway 207, to the west of the city, near the Martyrs Cemetery in Yonghe District. The answerer said that he would send an ambulance right away and put the phone down.

In fact, the location of the accident is easy to find. There was a mess on the road, broken glass all over the floor, falling wheel covers and bumpers all twisted, and there were a few dark brake marks on the road.

After a while, Pippi saw Helan Jingting coming up from the deep grass. Back in the car, he said nothing.

“Have you found the driver?”

“Found it.” He started to start the car.

Pippi hurriedly held his hand: “Don’t rush away. I called the police. The person who answered the phone said that we should stay at the scene. They need evidence.”

“The man is dead. He didn’t wear a seat belt and was thrown out.” Helan Jingting took her hand away, “You have also seen it, it’s torn apart, the head is in a different place, and it’s a mess.”

“Then we also need to stay to cooperate with the police investigation.” Pippi looked at him seriously.

“Pippi,” Helan Jingting said coldly, “I don’t like dealing with the police.”

“but–”

She thought Helan’s attitude was strange, and she couldn’t help staring at his face in surprise. The interior of the car was not very bright, and the afterlight of the street light was refracted onto his face through the mirror.

Pippi’s heart sank suddenly, sinking into hell. All of a sudden, the air in the car seemed to be evacuated, and I couldn’t breathe.

There was a faint blood stain on Helan Jingting’s mouth.

“Hi,” she said, “you have a little blood splattered here, let me wipe it for you.”

“Really?” Helan Jingting glanced at the car mirror, then took out a wet tissue to wipe off the blood.

Then he turned around and said, “Is it clean now?”

“Dry, clean.” Pippi’s eyes widened, and he looked at her without blinking, his voice astringent.

“Fasten seat belts, let’s go back.” Helan Jingting said.

She sat there in a cold sweat, motionless.

“Pippi, seat belt–”

“Helan–” She interrupted him suddenly, “What did you do just now?”
