Striving for Science

Chapter 31: Home?

"Changan, what's the matter with you?" After Ding Yang finished, seeing Shen Changan standing upright, thinking he didn't believe this, so he persuaded: "Don't be so serious, come, come with Xu Ze, please Elder Moon bless you to find a sweet and intimate beauty. "

"A man who wants to find an intimate and gentle beauty must first make himself an elegant, funny and gentle person." Shen Changan thought for a while and felt that he still didn't need to worship the god.

"That's what I said, but what if I saw you look handsome in the first month, what would I do if you were a formidable big beauty?" After saying this, Ding Yang chased the old moon like a clenched fist. , I have absolutely no meaning to ridicule you. I am helping you develop believers. "

"Criticism." Shen Changan was so troubled by Ding Yang that he decided to obey his heart, and worship it in random, lest he keep nagging.

"Wait." An old man with gray hair and a navy blue gown hurriedly stopped in front of Shen Changan. "Young man, I see you wearing peach blossoms. The red luan star appears, and it is clear that there is a destiny. Why should I worship? Month old? "

"What?" Ding Yang glared at Shen Changan in disbelief. "Speaking of being a single dog together, you secretly have a concubine?"

Shen Changan couldn't help crying, he looked helplessly at the old man who was standing in front of him: "Uncle, would you still count these?"

"I don't count anything else, only marriage." The old man touched the beard on his chin and educated him seriously. "Young man, be loyal to your partner. Too greedy for beauty will be punished. "

He wanted to tell the uncle that he did n’t have a partner, but to see that the uncle was so old did not deliberately make him difficult. Shen Changan was not good at arguing with him about this kind of problem, so he nodded and said, "You are right.

"Then remember, don't worship the elders in the future, and he doesn't dare to help you find someone again." The old man was immediately satisfied, he swallowed slowly outside the temple, and looked back from time to time, as if it were Observing, did Shen Changan secretly pay attention to the elders while he was not paying attention.

Noting the behavior of Grandpa, Shen Changan: "..."

He doesn't have a long scumbag face anymore. Why did the old man treat him like an scumbag?

"Forget it." Ding Yang patted Shen Changan's shoulder sympathetically. "It's all life, Chang'an, you should still stand aside and don't affect other people's worship of the moon."

Shen Changan walked aside with a laugh, watching the passers-by. As the sky became brighter, there were more young people who came to worship the moon. Some couples came together, and some good friends came together. They laughed and were very cheerful.

There are so many happy passersby, and when there is such a person who is unhappy, it will be particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Shen Changan noticed that there was a young girl, wearing a somewhat outdated dark coat, walking alone in the crowd, with a stunned expression, walking under the oak tree outside the Moon Old Temple, looking up at the storages hanging on the tree A wooden sign with countless people's wishes.

She looked pale and stood on tiptoe to get a certain brand, but because she was not tall enough, she could not touch it. She didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly squatted under the tree and hugged her knees.

Is she crying?

The joyful pedestrians all around did not notice the sad people crouching in the corner. Some people cry, some laugh, sadness and joy are always two disjointed worlds.

Shen Changan touched his body and got confused in the morning without even bringing a tissue. He looked around, bought a pack of paper towels for a dollar and a bag at the stall, walked to the crying girl, and silently handed the tissue to her.

"Thank you." The girl thanked her in a dumb voice. She looked up at Shen Changan, her eyes full of sadness, and no tears.

"What do you want to take, I will help you get it." Shen Changan looked up at the oak tree and pointed to the wooden sign the woman was trying to get. "Do you want this?"

The woman nodded.

Shen Chang'an extended his hand to take down the wooden sign and placed it in the female hand. The wooden sign looks a bit old because of the sun and rain, and the words on it are a little vague, which can be seen faintly, and it says "X and X always love X and X."

The girl gently thanked the dust on the wooden sign.

"No need to thank you." Shen Changan comforted her when she saw her feeling hurt. "Everything wants to open up. There is nothing scarce in the world, but there is no shortage of men. There are still tens of millions of our male compatriots fighting. The bachelor. "

The girl smiled and smiled at Chang'an: "You talk so funny, there must be many girls who like you?"

"I, who is still single today, refuse to answer your question." Shen Chang installed a sigh, and he saw a sign hanging on the trunk of the oak tree, with the words "Wish Tree" written on it, "Or, you Make another wish? "

"The wish made cannot be fulfilled, why should it be made?" The girl squeezed the wooden sign tightly, "I am here today, just want those who made my wish with me that year, to fulfill his promise."

"The sun is about to come out." Shen Changan looked up at the east side of the sky and got up to buy some wishing cards from the vendors. "The sun in November is particularly poisonous. It is said that if it is basking in the sun this month, it will be hard to come back white. , Your girls love beauty so much, do n’t get this kind of sun. "

The girl didn't speak. She looked down at the shabby wooden sign in her hand, her eyes unwilling and resentful.

"Come." Two wooden signs were handed over to her, and the young man holding the wooden sign smiled brightly at her. "We are one of two, you make your wish, I will help you hang up."

After receiving the brand new wooden sign, the girl looked at him with hesitation.

Shen Changan took out his pen and began to write on the wooden sign.

I wish Daonian good health, happiness and joy-Changan.

Wish me savory food, good health—Changan.

Long Feifeng finished writing these two brands, and Shen Changan took out his phone and took a photo, which was sent to Daonian.

Chang'an: See if I am loyal enough. I have never forgotten to take you with me.

In a residential house.

"Sir?" Liu Maojian's closed eyes suddenly opened his eyes, thinking that something had happened, and quickly said, "But something happened in the world?"

Daonian glanced at him, took out his mobile phone and opened the chat box, and saw the photos sent by Shen Changan. Save the photo, Dao Nian slowly typed four words.

Year: Don't be superstitious.

After hearing the news, Daonian looked at Liu Mao: "Should I build a mansion and make it my fixed home?"

"Adult?" Liu Mao looked at Daonian in horror. "What do you mean?"

Between heaven and earth, no matter where you are, you can go there. For the gentleman, his home is everywhere, but there is no home.

He has no mansion, no joys and sorrows, even ... no family or friends. Born to be a husband who was not destined to have feelings, he suddenly said that he needed a mansion as a home. If it spread out, he would be afraid that the Six Realms would be shaken.

"It's okay, just say something casually." Seeing the shock in Liu Mao's eyes, Dao Nian slowly lowered her eyelids and closed her eyes again. "You all back down, don't bother me."

"Yes." Liu Mao walked slowly downstairs and turned his head to look at the bird stand in the corner. The Scarlet-breasted Parrot Demon sent by the bird family was burying his head to eat Lingmi. When Liu Mao looked at himself, he immediately stopped pecking. Pretend to have a small appetite.

Liu Mao threw a handful of spirit rice into the food box in front of her: "The bird clan arranged you to come to the adult's side just to help you eat and drink?"

Feiying: "..."

Seeing Feiying not talking, Liu Mao clapped his palms: "For the sake of your ancestral home in Shucheng, I would like to tell you more. Since you are a parrot here, you have to be a master to please parrot."

"Mr. Liu, who has also been in Shucheng?" Feiying was a little surprised. The elders in the family said that Liu Mao was very lucky. He was not a demon repairer known for his speed, but he did an adult's mount.

"You shouldn't ask, don't ask." Liu Mao's face sullenly. "Your bird clan's careful thoughts are put away. In this world, as long as the adult thinks, then nothing can hide him."

No wonder when the elders and the orc elders brought them over, the adults didn't even see them with their right eyes. After Liu Mao left, the parrot peeked out of the yard and pouted Hu Ming, who was planting flowers in the mud pit, but the fox spirit was here, and he was still thinking about how to seduce adults.

Forget it, she is still a parrot with a strong desire to survive, at least better than the fox who is a horse and a horse. Who would have thought that Master Dao was so honest, saying that he was helping, and really let them do their work?

Shen Changan sent the news to Daonian and hung the wooden sign on the tree again. The depressed girl did not write a word on the two blank wooden signs.

"Don't you write?" Shen Changan asked.

"It's not necessary." Zhaoxia rose, and the early winter sun had no temperature, and the faint sunlight couldn't even see through the mist.

The girl returned the blank wooden sign to Shen Changan, turned around and disappeared behind the old temple in a hurry.

Shen Changan looked at her back and sighed.

"What sighs?" Ding Yang came over and bumped him with his elbow. "I said why are you not interested in Baiyue Lao, I made a wish here."

Shen Changan returned the blank wooden sign to the stall owner and took the work card out of his coat: "Go, the sun is out, it's time to patrol."

At Yuelao Temple Fair, not only merchants came here to sell food, but also some folk dance performances. The first eight men carried a bottle of moon statues in front of them. Tourists around the place could throw flowers or coins at the moon.

Behind the Moon Old Statue is a folk artist dressed as the protagonist of a famous love story in history, jumping while walking, holding a huge colorful silk fan in his hand, and embroidering words like "a hundred years of good union" and "day marriage" on the fan.

In order to watch folk dance performances, tourists remember that the two sides of the road are impenetrable. Shen Changan thinks that his physical strength is good, and tourists who are excited by the emotions remember to go upside down and wait until the tourists gradually decrease in the evening. Just go back to the soft bed.

"Sir." The girl I saw in the morning didn't know when she came to Shen Chang'an. The sunset shone on her, which made her pale face have a few more oranges.

"You haven't left yet?" Shen Changan saw her, stunned.

"I'm still not reconciled." The girl bit her lower lip tightly and shook her head slightly. "I want to see him."

Shen Changan looked at her without speaking.

"I'm afraid, can my husband accompany me?" The girl pointed her finger in a direction. "His house is over there."

Shen Changan stared at her for a few seconds: "Must see him?"

The girl nodded again for sure.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Shen Changan agreed.

The night of early winter came exceptionally early. As usual, Liu Hao bought duck tongues that his wife loved at half a catty in the street shop after work. These days the duck tongue has increased in price. He glanced at his favorite braised pig ears and hesitated for two or three seconds before carrying the duck tongue.

Several acquaintances met on the road, and after greeting each other, he continued to walk home. Braised pork shop is three bus stops away from home. He didn't want to waste these two dollars, so he walked back every day on the grounds of exercise.

The house he lived in had no property management. It was an old-fashioned house. There was always garbage left by neighbors "accidentally". There were 365 days a year, and no day was clean.

Just walking downstairs, I heard that the old lady who lived on the first floor was scolding a certain upstairs tenant who was throwing garbage on the protective window of her house. The old lady's voice was sharp and bright, and it hurt his eardrums.

He looked up at the gray residential building, touched it in his coat, found a box of shrivelled cigarettes, took out a cigarette, and took a hard breath after lighting it.

The hazy smoke blurred the expression on his face. He crouched downstairs, listening to the old lady's scolding, and his expression was numb and blank.

There was footsteps coming from behind him, and he gave way to the side.

"Brother, does Liu Hao live here?" The young man who spoke was wearing clean clothes, full of vitality on his body, like a bud that had just grown in early winter.

Liu Hao threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his feet: "I am, who are you, what are you doing with me?"

"Are you Liu Hao?" Shen Changan looked back at the girl, which seemed to be seriously inconsistent with the description in her mouth that "the skin is fair, gentle, and clean"

"

In front of him, the man was a little fat, with a rumpled coat and a stubble on his chin, which looked very untrimmed, and did not touch the edge of the word "Sven".

"Sorry, bother." Shen Changan smiled, "I'm entrusted to come and see you."

"Who?" Liu Hao stooped to pick up the cigarette butts on the ground and threw them into the trash can beside him.

"A lady named Lin Lin." Shen Changan glanced at the young girl standing beside him, silent.

The man put some cold hands in his pocket, but he didn't put it in the first one, and finally put his hand in his pocket in the second one: "Which Linlin?"

Shen Changan didn't expect to get such a response. He looked at Liu Hao, then at the girl named Lin Lin, and was silent.

Seeing Shen Changan silent, Liu Hao hooked his lips, revealing an expression that could barely be called a laugh: "I should go home."

Seeing Liu Hao preparing to leave, Shen Changan thought Lin Lin would let him do something, but Lin Lin just lowered her head and didn't even look at this fat man.

"He is not my lover. My lover is not smoking or fat. He is not so ugly." Lin Lin whispered, as if refusing to admit, the man he loved became this look.

"Hiroko." A woman with a ponytail came downstairs, saw Liu Hao, and said to him: "You go up and look at the child, I go to the store to buy a bottle of soy sauce, and the soy sauce at home is gone."

"Why don't you call me and let me bring you back, and you don't need to run again." Liu Hao walked in front of the woman very naturally, putting the duck tongue in her hand in the woman's hand, " It's a bit cold outside, you go back first, I'll buy it. "

"This is so expensive, don't buy it next time." The woman looked at the duck tongue in the bag and smiled and blamed. "Then you come back early, I'll cut the dishes."

"Hmm." Liu Hao reached out and pinned the woman's cheeks behind her ears, "I know."

The woman noticed Shen Changan standing beside Liu Hao and smiled at him: "You are Haozi's friend, go to our house for dinner together at night."

"No, thank you sister-in-law." Shen Changan smiled obediently at the woman.

The woman thought they had something to discuss, and after a few words with Shen Changan, she returned to the building. The man pulled the cigarette case out of his coat again and found that there was no more cigarettes in the box, so he threw the empty cigarette case and turned away.

"My wife and I met each other a few years ago." Liu Hao suddenly said, "At that time, Lin Lin had just left for two years. I abandoned myself all day and lost my job." He paused, and seemed Don't want to mention the previous thing.

"You also listened to the love story between me and Lin Lin, and thought I betrayed the love between us, and came over and condemned me specifically?" Liu Hao bought a bottle of soy sauce in the grocery store, and after thinking about it, he chose two sticks. Lollipop laughed and said, "Among other populations, my love story with Lin Lin is probably the perfect ending only if I don't marry or go with her for life."

"Up to now, some Lin Lin's friends called me scumbag." Liu Hao smiled. This smile didn't care, and there was a common numbness. "It doesn't matter how you call me, as long as you don't bother my wife and Just kids, they are innocent. "

"I betrayed our feelings, I deserved to be scolded."

The beginning of the love story is that a couple of men and women are allowed to live and die. Later, the girl died unexpectedly, the boy was hit hard, and he violently abandoned himself. In the end, he chose a new life.

This kind of tacky story has long been a storyline that was written by magazines many years ago. But in these stories, there are no public opinions and pains faced by those who survived.

"What I look like now, if Lin Lin is alive, I'm afraid I won't recognize it. It doesn't make sense to pull on my previous love." Liu Hao laughed at himself and shrugged his shoulders. "What else do you want to ask?"

Shen Changan shook his head: "No, I wish you a happy life with your family."

Liu Hao was stunned, and then smiled: "You are the first of Lin Lin's friends, I wish my family a happy life." The smile on his face was clear, "Thank you, I will send my wife Convey your blessings. "

Watching the fat man slowly walk through the street and into the dilapidated residential building, Shen Changan turned to look at Lin Lin, "Are you still not reconciled?"

Lin Lin looked at Shen Changan staring blankly: "You know I'm dead, don't you be afraid?"

Shen Chang'an didn't answer her question: "What do you hate is the love that ended abruptly because of death, or is this man unwilling?"

Lin Lin has been silent for a long time: "I haven't seen him for nearly eight years, because there are wishing cards we left in Yuelao Temple, so every year I have the opportunity to return to Yuelao Temple. But these eight During the year, he did not return to the place where we wished. "

Eight years is enough for a man to let go of his pain, and he can also turn a handsome and elegant young man into a greasy and mediocre middle-aged man.

After seeing Liu Hao's present appearance, Lin Lin's first thought was not excitement, anger or joy, but embarrassment.

She even started to regret telling Shen Changan that she was reluctant to reincarnate for eight years in a prefecture for such a man.

Some feelings can't stand the time to pass away, some feelings can't stand the aging of looks.

If Lin Lin did not die unexpectedly, maybe Liu Hao would not be like this. It is also possible that after the two are together, because of the passing of time and life, they become a couple quarreling because of chai rice, oil, salt, vinegar and tea, and finally their love fairy tale disappears, becoming ordinary couples in the eyes of friends.

"Thank you, Mr. Thank you, for bringing me to see him." Lin Lin took out the wooden sign hidden in her hand and put her palm into a powder.

Shen Changan looked at the dark sky: "You should go."

"Sir, when did you find that I was not human?"

Shen Changan thought for a while: "Probably because you are so sad but can't shed tears."

He didn't know in which novel it was read, and it said that there was no tears in the ghost. The ghost that can cry does not shed tears, but his soul.

Linlin stopped talking, because she had nothing to say in front of a man who saw ghosts as usual. When the sky was finally replaced by complete black, she said in a naughty voice: "Sir, please tell me to help him, and say ... wish him happiness for the rest of his life, I don't blame him for breaking his promise."

Shen Changan: "It's useless to blame you, he can't hear anyway."

Linlin: "..."

At this moment, can't he touch or sigh?

Create a good atmosphere, disturbed by Shen Changan a few words, female ghost Lin Lin stretched an expressionless face, disappeared into the night.

"Now young people just can't hear the truth." Shen Changan sighed and sent a message to Daonian.

Changan: Daonian, do you say that even the most beautiful feelings will become pale and embarrassed because of the change of years and the appearance of old people?

Seeing this news, Daonian frowned. After pondering for a long time, he returned a message with a strong desire to survive. "Even if you get old, I don't dislike it."

Shen Changan holding a mobile phone: "..."

Can brotherhood be the same as love? However, such feelings and attitudes were still worthy of his touching, so he found pictures of hugs in his emoji package.

"Now the young people are really unpretentious." Daonian threw the phone on the table and grunted.

It's just that the eyes occasionally sneaked into the phone.

"It's you again?" An old man's voice sounded.

Shen Changan turned his head to stop the old man who would not let him worship the moon in the morning. The other party carried a large bundle of rough red rope that was not sold. It seemed that the business was not good.

Seeing Shen Changan staring at the red rope in his hand, the old man hid the red rope behind him: "What do you see, this is not yours."

Shen Changan: "..."

Grandpa, you think so much. I have no bad habits of grabbing old people's things.

Liu Mao drove to the place where Shen Changan said, and saw the old man standing beside him, frowning puzzledly. Why is Yueluo here?

"Mr. Shen." Liu Mao walked to the two of them. "Do you know this old man?"

"No, it just happened to happen that he passed the red rope." Shen Changan laughed. "I was thinking that it was so late that I could buy some rope to take care of his business ..."

"Don't wrong me, I didn't think I would sell you red rope, and I can't sell it to you. You'll give it up." The old man glanced at Liu Mao, he wished he could jump on his feet and swear, even if he smashed his idol The meaning of selling red rope to Shen Changan.

Shen Changan: "..."

If you do n’t sell it, do n’t sell it. It ’s like selling him a red rope and destroying the world.

Shen Changan smiled helplessly at Liu Mao: "Look, this is how things are."

"Oh." Liu Mao dragged his tone and pointed to his head. "Don't worry about the old man in your brain. Your husband is still waiting for you to eat at home."

Hearing the word "Mr.", the old man shivered. Looking at Shen Chang'an's eyes, it seemed as though he was looking at a rosy face. Staying by your husband's side and daring to worship the elders for marriage, this is the courage to swallow the heavens. When it comes to death, human beings are second, and no one dares to be the first.

In the evening, Shen Changan returned home and just sat at the dinner table. Daonian suddenly asked him, "How about I build a home?"

"Isn't this your home here?" Shen Changan was a little surprised.

"This is just a foothold for me." Daonian looked at Chang'an, not wanting to miss the slight expression on his face: "I have no home."

"Do you think ... should I have a family?"

The author has something to say: Yue Lao: The guts of mankind make the gods feel terrified.
