Chapter 418 Origin
Everyone, under the influence of this towering tree, saw... scenes one after another.
Zhou Tian is no exception.
What he saw was...
————
Zhou Tian's family is not wealthy.
However, he is very smart. He was number one in the school when he was in elementary school, and he was still number one in the middle school.
Everything should have gone smoothly, a noble son would come out of a poor family, and a golden phoenix would fly out of the henhouse.
But God seems to like to play tricks on people, so Zhou Tian fell ill.
It's not a serious illness, just a high fever common in any age.
So Zhou Tian took leave and went back to the village to see the doctor in the village. The doctor gave him an injection in his butt without saying a word, then poured out a lot of pills like pouring beans, folded the paper into small medicine packets, and handed them to him. When it arrived in the hands of Grandma Zhou Tian, she told her to eat it on time and keep it until the fever would go down quickly.
Under the care of her grandma, Zhou Tian took the medicine with peace of mind, went home, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
After waking up, the high fever did subside, but he could no longer hear sound in his left ear and could no longer see anything in his left eye.
He became disabled.
For an individual, the most significant changes in life are just an ordinary day in the lives of others.
Grandma was so angry that she went to the doctor in the village to argue. The process was not important, and there was no result anyway.
However, from that day on, Zhou Tian seemed to be a different person. He lay in bed all day long and looked at the bacon hanging from the beam. His family members and teachers at school tried to persuade him, but nothing worked.
Suddenly one day, Zhou Tian said that he wanted to study medicine. Although his family was not rich, they still tried their best to get him some medical books.
It should be said that Zhou Tian's learning talent was extremely amazing, and the textbooks of that era were not obscure. Through self-study, he quickly judged that his ears and eyes were hopeless.
No one is to blame. Doctors in rural villages use too much medicine. This is the norm.
In most cases, ordinary people will think that doctors are capable and can get better results faster than taking the medicine prescribed by doctors in the city.
But there are still some cases, like Zhou Tian, who couldn't resist the "drug", became disabled, or even died directly, there are many people.
After confirming that his ears and eyes were hopeless, Zhou Tian stopped reading medical books.
Fortunately, he no longer collapsed on the bed.
From then on, Zhou Tian no longer studied, but helped the family with some farm work.
Although there is a problem with one ear and one eye, it won't delay much.
After half a year of this, a young man came to the countryside. He said he was an expert from the city, an agricultural expert, and he wanted to rent a piece of land for experiments for two years.
Zhou Tian's family rented a piece of land to this young expert.
Zhou Tian went to go through the formalities with the expert. After all, he was the only scholar in the family.
When he saw the expert for the first time, Zhou Tian was dressed like a toad, but the expert from the city had fair and tender skin and dark and bright eyes.
Zhou Tian really couldn't figure out how such a young lady could be an expert? And he’s still engaged in agriculture?
However, this is indeed true.
The expert seemed to know something about Zhou Tian and asked him if he could record data and understand controlled experiments.
Zhou Tian didn't bother to answer this kind of thing that he knew how to do with his hands, but after hearing that he could get a good salary by doing experiments for this expert, Zhou Tian compromised.
He is not a blaming person. He is already disabled and does not want to go to school. He cannot let his family take care of him for the rest of his life.
This job is indeed his best choice at the moment.
From then on, Zhou Tian dressed a little neatly. If he looked like a toad before, he was at least a frog now. Soon, Zhou Tian found out what "crops" this young lady from the city was researching.
It was a strange gray-white plant, only as long as an adult's hand, and not densely packed, with a cluster in a fist.
What surprised Zhou Tian was that no matter how the plant was planted, it remained unchanged.
It doesn’t grow, it doesn’t decay, it doesn’t live, it doesn’t die.
This completely goes against Zhou Tian's cognition.
Of course, it also puzzled the expert from the city.
It was also at that time that Zhou learned the full name of the expert - Meng Zhen.
One day, Meng Zhen came to the experimental field with a pale face. Zhou Tian glanced at her and asked, "Are you sick?"
"Well, my menstrual period is here, and I still have a slight fever. I'll go to the village to get some medicine later. It's okay." Meng Zhen looked calm.
Zhou Tian looked at the gray plants in the experimental field and whispered: "Go back to the city and take a look."
Meng Zhen seemed to realize something, glanced at Zhou Tian, and nodded gently: "Okay, but this thing..."
She also looked at the plants in the experimental field.
This was exactly the reason why she came to this small rural village. There were not many of these things. She only found this much, and she didn't dare to let others know about it.
"While you are gone, I will conduct the experiment."
"You know how?" Meng Zhen was confused that this was not a slight.
Zhou Tian nodded: "Let's see."
Meng Zhen was speechless.
After getting along with him for this period of time, she had long realized that Zhou Tian was a real genius.
Keen, intelligent, and extremely capable of learning.
However, these plants... are the only clues to the disappearance of his parents. Should he just give them to him...
He has realized the weirdness of these plants, which should not exist in the material world at all.
But when the words came to his lips, they turned into the word "good".
Meng Zhen just temporarily handed over the most precious thing in the second half of his life to Zhou Tian's care.
It is not easy to go back and forth to the city. Moreover, since he has returned to the city, Meng Zhen still has some things to deal with. This trip lasts for a week.
During this week, I conducted research and recording step by step every day.
Although this strange gray plant looks like it is planted in the ground, it actually does not draw nutrients from the ground at all.
Zhou Tian even boldly conducted a fully enclosed test on one of the few plants, cutting off air, light, water and soil for three days.
However, three days later, the plant still looked the same!
That makes no sense...unless this thing is made of plastic.
Picking it up and observing it carefully, Zhou Tian still found nothing unusual.
Because he lacked the vision of one eye, Zhou Tian's sense of spatial distance was very poor. This caused him to accidentally touch his blind left eye socket when observing the suspicious plant at close range.
But at this moment, something strange happened!
The roots of the originally dead gray plant suddenly swelled!
It burrowed into Zhou Tian's left eye socket like a living thing, and its roots quickly covered his entire left eyeball!
Zhou Tian's brain roared, and the last thought in his mind before fainting was——
How should I explain to Meng Zhen...
