Little shop of the people of the earth

Colleagues stayed here for a day and two nights. After eating and drinking enough, they brought a bunch of wild vegetables dug by themselves, whole wheat flour from Liu Zemo, fresh tofu, and freshly caught hairy crabs, and rushed back to Shanghai. .

Liu Ze discovered that Ye Hongshu simply regarded his place as the foothold of Suzhou City, and he had to go out during the day, which seemed a bit busy.

And when he came back at night, he still insisted on telling Liu Ze a bedtime story with this inexplicable persistence.

After taking a shower, Liu Ze looked at Ye Hongshu who was staying in his room, feeling a little helpless, "Aren't you tired after a busy day?"

"It's okay." Ye Hongshu said seriously, "My sleep quality has improved since I came here."

nonsense.

While wiping his hair, Liu Ze thought, while Ye Hongshu was out, he secretly stuffed a star gemstone under the sofa bed in the room where Ye Hongshu was going to sleep. Could the quality of sleep be bad?

"When your sleep quality improves, take the opportunity to sleep more." Liu Ze sighed, "I'm not a child, so I don't need to tell bedtime stories."

Ye Hongshu didn't say a word, he looked at Liu Ze, motionless, with a stubbornness like a child.

Liu Ze felt even more helpless. He turned on the night light by the bed, turned off the headlight, sat on the bed, and said while wiping his hair, "Let's talk."

So Ye Hongshu was very satisfied and continued to tell the bedtime story.

The light of the night light was very dim, and Ye Hongshu looked at Liu Ze with the faint light.

Every time Liu Ze listened to him talking about bedtime stories, his appearance always looked extra soft.

This softness, he was probably the only one who saw it.

Even Yanagisawa himself didn't seem to notice.

Ye Hongshu finished telling a story when Liu Ze dried his hair slowly.

He watched Liu Ze's movements, paused, and said, "Brother seems to like this pace of life very much."

Liu Ze was taken aback, and raised his eyes to look at him.

"You look..." Ye Hongshu thought for a while, "You look very happy."

Hearing this, Liu Ze raised his hand to touch his face, not sure what his expression was now.

He nodded: "This pace of life is indeed very comfortable."

After speaking, he shook his head again: "But I'm not happy because of this kind of life."

Ye Hongshu frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Liu Ze didn't intend to answer any more.

He himself was not too embarrassed to say it - he couldn't tell Ye Hongshu that he was so happy and happy because he was accompanied by someone.

It's natural to feel soothed by someone's company, and lonely and anxious to be alone all year round, but it's embarrassing to say it yourself.

Although Liu Jia can be regarded as accompanying him, artificial intelligence does not have the same empathy as humans. When chatting with him, Mr. Robot will only propose solutions to troubles based on facts, instead of aimlessly blind like humans Kan or relief.

After all, in various respects, he cannot be regarded as a human being.

Liu Ze stroked the short hair that was only slightly wet, avoided Ye Hongshu's suspicious gaze, and said, "Okay, it's time to sleep."

Ye Hongshu nodded, left Liu Ze's room, and took the towel away for him.

It rained a lot that night.

After the National Day, it's time for an autumn rain and a cold one. When he woke up in the morning, Liu Ze, who was wearing short sleeves, had goose bumps all over his body due to the wet and cold wind blowing on his face.

He took out his mobile phone to check the temperature, then found the controller of the cooling water film from the sundry box, and put the water film away.

The collected water film is a small cube, not big, and it is inconspicuous in the sundry box.

Ye Hongshu got up later than him these days. Liu Ze was rolling hay by the stove and preparing to light the fire, and yawned in unison with the dog who was also squatting by the stove.

Ye Hongshu walked into the kitchen after washing up, and all he saw was a man and a dog yawned and then turned to look at him.

Ye Hongshu paused.

It's surprisingly cute.

"Are you planning to go back today?" Liu Ze asked.

Ye Hongshu nodded: "Yes."

He has finished talking about Suzhou City, and there are still some procedures to follow up, so this is not something he needs to be busy with.

When the land matter is almost settled, he can find a way to invite Liu Ze into the project.

"Then you go straight after breakfast?" Liu Ze asked.

Ye Hongshu nodded again.

Liu Ze let out an "ah", looked at Ye Hongshu for a while, then turned around and lit the fire, and put it in the stove door: "You have changed a lot."

Ye Hongshu glanced at the things on the cutting board, and was helping to pour water into the pot. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at Liu Ze, and asked the same question as when he reunited with Liu Ze before: "Is it better or worse?"

After staying with him for so many days, Liu Ze didn't hesitate this time.

He said bluntly: "From an adult's point of view, you have become better. From my personal point of view, I can't say it's good or bad."

Ye Hongshu was slightly taken aback: "Is there a personal point of view?"

Liu Ze looked at the lit fire, got up and went to get noodles from the cupboard, turned around and met Ye Hongshu's eyes: "Although I always tell you to change your temper, I still like you the way you were before."

This was the first time Ye Hongshu heard Liu Ze say that.

He was dazed for a while, and frowned: "Why do you ask me to change it if you like it?"

"Hmm..." Liu Ze said, "Because probably few people would like it except me."

Who would like that kind of venomous, quick-tempered and extremely egotistical personality?

Liu Ze thinks that people who would like that kind of personality are mostly aesthetically deformed.

He doesn't count himself.

He just stood on the sidelines, purely looking forward to the kind of self-confidence that is arrogant and will not be crushed by reality.

How could a man like Ye Hongshu understand the behavior of ordinary people who need to draw strength and emotion from others as the motivation to keep going.

People are different. For example, apart from Liu Ze, few people would choose to find support and hope from Ye Hongshu.

"If you like it, don't you hope it will never change?" Ye Hongshu asked.

"But if you don't change, the road ahead will be more difficult." Liu Ze explained.

Ye Hongshu couldn't understand this: "But don't you like it?"

"Compared to liking, your future is more important." Liu Ze didn't expect him to understand, and simply changed the subject, "What noodles do you want?"

"Meat." Ye Hongshu replied along the way.

Yanagisawa nodded, and poured oil into another pot that was already hot.

The two didn't feel that there was anything wrong with their conversation at all, and finished their breakfast while chatting.

After Ye Hongshu finished his breakfast, he didn't leave directly. Instead, he turned around and followed Liu Ze to dig the ground in the backyard.

This is their after-meal reservation item these days.

Ye Hongshu took a look at the vegetable bed that Liu Ze was watering, and the Chinese cabbage had already showed traces of emerald green.

He took another look at the flower pot under the pergola, and a green-headed loofah seedling just emerged, and he felt that he understood why his father liked to tend flowers and plants.

The pots of orchids that I got from Liu Ze had an unexpectedly long flowering period. Although they had already withered by now, they were still carefully taken care of by his father.

Farming the land is similar to tending flowers and plants, especially it allows people to relax their minds and concentrate.

Oh, it's not the same here with Liu Ze.

Ye Hongshu watched his senior brother try to open another vegetable bed but was harassed by the dog repeatedly jumping around. He was a little angry and wanted to beat the dog, but in the end he just took the basket and directly covered the dog in it, with a slap on his face. There were a few smiles.

Let Liuze have to add another one here, fighting wits and courage with the hell dog.

Ye Hongshu kicked off the mud on the soles of his shoes before the steps, and was about to leave here.

"You can go to the farm and buy a few crabs to take home," Liu Ze said.

"Okay." Ye Hongshu agreed, and then said, "I'll come again when I'm free."

Liu Ze was stunned: "I can't do it recently, I'm planning to go back to my hometown."

Ye Hongshu said "Yes", "Then I'll come back when you come back."

Liu Ze watched Ye Hongshu's car disappear from sight, turned his head to stare blankly at the empty house again, closed the door, tidied up the kitchen a bit, and turned to enter the little trash.

Liu Jia had probably just planted a round of seeds, and a little bit of wheat sprouted from an acre of wheat, which was emerald green.

The aquatic products in the pond were not yet mature, Liu Ze turned his head and saw a fish jumping out of the pond, flicking its tail and quickly diving into the bottom of the water.

In the past two days, Liu Jia has entered a bunch of messy things for the little waste. Liu Ze looked through it and found that Liu Jia had also entered a lot of insects and plants.

Liu Ze looked at the four-acre mountain land, looked through the plants, carefully recalled the appearance of the hillside in his memory, opened the trading panel, bought a forest planting area, and went to the mountain with a universal shovel. While planting, I adjusted and picked up the small details.

The mountain covers an area of ​​four acres, which is much larger than four acres in real walking.

Having not returned to his hometown for many years, Liu Ze can only vaguely recall some small traces.

For example, the mulberry tree growing by the river, some weeping willows, and the tree that was split by a thunderbolt when I was a child and then fell down, spanning the trickle about two meters left from the mountain, forming a small natural bridge. Erythrina.

When the temperature rises, some mushrooms will grow on the fallen Erythrina tree, and then there will be a group of children holding small nets, lying on the Erythrina tree, catching mountain crabs in the crevices of the rocks under the water, carrying them Go back and make soup and porridge.

When Liu Ze pinched the mountain before, he made a rough shape. The river flowed down the terrain of the mountain. After walking a few steps, he saw the place where the Erythrina bridge should have been.

Liu Ze bought a seedling of Erythrina japonica from Liu Jia's newly entered products, and planted it by the water's edge. He planned to harvest it when it grew strong enough, and then lay it down on both sides of the trickling stream.

Liu Ze walked up the water flowing down from the mountain, added a few water jumps to both sides of the river along the way, and planted some trees.

After tossing for more than an hour, looking back, it seems that there are so many shadows in my memory.

Liu Ze stood on the grass-covered hillside and glanced into the distance.

Construction robots that don't need to rest are already building walls.

Liu Ze looked at the house under construction over there, then looked back at the trickle that just passed along the way, and couldn't help but feel a little joy.

Getting better little by little, Liu Ze recognized this fact, with a satisfied smile on his face that he had never felt before, thinking of Liu Jia's return today, he raised his hand and exited the system, ready to pack up Luggage to go home.

As soon as he went out, he met the shocked gaze of Ye Hongshu who was standing at the kitchen door.

Liu Ze was also dumbfounded.

His eyes drifted away for a moment, and he saw the opened door. He remembered that he had obviously closed it.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Liu Ze finally spoke first, and said dryly, "Why are you back?"

Ye Hongshu also said dryly: "I... walked halfway and found that I forgot my phone, your door is unlocked, just push it..."

Liu Ze nodded, he had seen the horrifying scene where Liu Jia suddenly disappeared and reappeared when entering and exiting the system.

Facing Ye Hongshu who had obviously seen him coming out of the system, Liu Ze's mind went blank and he didn't know what to say.

Once again, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

After a while, the shock on Ye Hongshu's face gradually faded, and he said slowly, "Brother, is it a monster?"

Ye Hongshu's thoughts turned a little awkwardly, but at this moment he thought of a lot.

For example, Liu Ze's hometown, Liu Ze's pots of mutated orchids, and the stone that always made him sleep well.

He paused, and suddenly realized that he had slept very well at Liu Ze's house these days.

"Flower demon? Stone spirit? Or some kind of spirit that can make people have a good rest?"

Probably the kind that used to live in the deep mountains of Hunan Province.

Ye Hongshu was still stunned by the sudden appearance of Liu Ze just now, his head was still buzzing, and he couldn't recover.

He was silent for two seconds, and then thought of Liu Ze's interest in the stars and his gentle look when he talked about the stars before, and he showed a bit of a dazed expression: "Is it an alien from some planet? Or a fairy who descended from the sky?" ……immortal."

Liu Ze: "..."

Shut up, you.

The author has something to say: Ye Hongshu: A fairy... girl who descended from the sky!

Yanagisawa: Shut your mouth too!
