Urban Cultivation

The dark clouds pressed down, and the pedestrians on the road quickened their pace. In less than a moment, the pouring rain poured down, and the few pedestrians who hadn't had time to escape were drenched in an instant.

Lin Xiang quickly ran a few steps, hid under the eaves of a supermarket on the side of the road, wiped the rainwater off his face, and hurriedly opened his briefcase. His university diploma and degree certificate were all in the bag. Wet, it was too late for him to cry.It has been almost two months since I got my graduation certificate, and I finally found a job. When applying for employment, the personnel department must look at the original of his graduation certificate and degree certificate, and the photocopies will not be accepted.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Lin Xiang looked at his watch. It was already past five o'clock and almost six o'clock. It took more than 40 minutes to take the bus to go home from here. If the rain didn't stop, it would probably be eight or nine o'clock when we got home. .

Lin Xiang touched the wallet in his pocket, turned around and went into the supermarket to buy a foldable umbrella. It was really painful when he checked out, and it was enough for him to eat for a day.

Holding an umbrella, I walked to the bus station. It was off-duty time, and the platform was full of people hiding from the rain and waiting for the bus. The delicate makeup on the faces of several OLs had been soaked by the rain, and they were wiping carefully with a small mirror .

The buses passed by one after another, stopped, and passed again, but the 101 bus that Lin Xiang waited for never came.The number of people on the platform has gradually decreased, and the sky is getting darker and darker. Lin Xiang was looking at his watch anxiously, and the 101 road came slowly. Something stumbled, and he fell to the ground all at once. The newly bought suit on his body was completely wet by the rain. Lin Xiang cursed, stood up, wiped his scratched palms, and walked up a few steps. bus.

After arriving home, Lin Xiang took a shower, carefully checked the documents in the bag, but found a strange black stone in the bag, an oval stone, only the size of Lin Xiang's thumbnail, and held it in his hand , Cool, Lin Xiang picked up the stone and looked at the light in the room, only to feel that the black surface of the stone seemed to have golden threads flowing like cloud patterns.

Lin Xiang frowned, and looked again, but there was a black piece on the stone, where there were no golden cloud patterns.

"Are you dazzled?"

How did this stone come from?None of the documents in the bag were wet, so it couldn't have gotten into the bag when he just fell.Lin Xiang thought for a while and couldn't figure it out. He felt that it was ridiculous to waste his brains on this stone, so he simply took the stone and threw it into the fish tank on the computer desk in front of the window.With a plop, the longan goldfish in the fish tank seemed to be taken aback, and swam to the side with a flick of its tail.

Lin Xiang didn't care, and knocked on the fish tank. When this goldfish was still in college, he and his girlfriend raised one, symbolizing their love. What happened?After graduating from university, his girlfriend told Lin Xiang that the one she raised had long since returned to ashes, and then she said coolly, she went abroad with a little Japanese man on her arm, leaving Lin Xiang foolishly facing The stupid fish blowing bubbles drank a dozen beers.

The past is unbearable...

Sighing, Lin Xiang stared blankly at the silly fish in the fish tank spit bubbles.After a while, I felt itching on the back of my feet, and lowered my head, it was the stray cat he raised. It was strange to say that when Lin Xiang came back from picking up the cat, he thought secretly, waiting for the cat to take it away. When the silly fish was wiped out, his unrequited love was also buried.

But what?The cat never thought of that silly fish, and the two of them spent two whole months together in peace!

"You said, if I were as good as you, I would be fed and fed, and I wouldn't have to worry about housing. The old lady next door the day before yesterday asked me if you were male or female. I don't know if you are male or female. Could it be her?" Would you like to introduce a boyfriend or girlfriend to you? Why can't I share in such a good thing...Speaking of which, are you male or female?"

Lin Xiang squinted his eyes, grabbed the cat immediately, raised his paw to look at a certain part of the cat, and smacked his lips while looking at it, "Why is there hair here, how can you tell... oh! "

Cats are not easy to mess with, meowing, Lin Xiang, who tried to play hooligans with a certain cat, left a few bright red paw prints on his neck.

"Won't you be laughed to death at work tomorrow?"

Looking in the mirror, Lin Xiang could only smile wryly.

That night, as punishment, a certain cat named Dahei only got half a bowl of leftovers, not to mention that he was cruel to animals, and he himself was eating pickles and rice.

After eating, Lin Xiang cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, turned around and saw the goldfish blowing bubbles against the wall of the fish tank, patted his head, took out a bag of fish food and threw it in, but he didn't want his fingers to be scratched by the edge of the fish tank Suddenly, a few drops of blood dripped into the fish tank.Lin Xiang was taken aback, and hurriedly took the fish tank to the bathroom to change the water. He walked in a hurry, but he didn't notice that the few drops of blood that dripped into the water seemed to be sucked by some kind of suction, and they all floated towards that place. A black stone slowly wrapped around the surface of the stone, and disappeared little by little.

Lin Xiang changed the water in the fish tank, went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed, already yawned so sleepy, but couldn't fall asleep, tossed and turned for a while, his mind was still messed up, as if he was dreaming, Lin Xiang went to sleep again. Feel yourself sober.It wasn't until the moon was on the treetops that it slowly calmed down.In a daze, he fell asleep.

In his sleep, Lin Xiang vaguely heard a somewhat strange voice, speaking something that made him incomprehensible...

Want to stay young forever?

Want to be alive and kicking without eating?

Want to own a 400-pyeong house for free?

Do you want to have a flowery and beautiful family with hugs left and right? ...

Even in a dream, Lin Xiang wished he could grab the speaker and roar loudly, thinking, he even dreamed!But are these just thinking about it?He has no money!

Lin Xiang scratched his head and growled: "Money! I don't have any money!"

……

After a while, the voice sounded again, in fact, you don't need banknotes...

Can you do it without banknotes?

Lin Xiang opened his eyes fiercely, rolled his eyes, and the familiar surroundings told him that it was just a ridiculous dream.He twitched the corners of his mouth in a funny way, probably because he was crazy about money, how could he have such a dream?With that kind of beauty, there would not be so many people dying of overwork in the world.I got up and looked at the alarm clock next to the bed. At [-]:[-] in the morning, I patted my cheek and calculated the time. Let's get up, the first day of work, you can't be late.

When Lin Xiang was washing and dressing, the sunlight poured into the room through the window glass, and the water in the fish tank in front of the window rippled slightly. If you looked carefully, you would find that the center of the ripples was the black stone, the stone The surface of the body seemed to be alive with golden threads flowing, pulsating continuously with the water patterns, and it took a long time before it gradually calmed down.The goldfish in the aquarium is clinging to the wall of the aquarium, spitting bubbles with its mouth opening and closing, Dahei, who was lying lazily under the table, suddenly jumped onto the computer desk, his golden eyes stared at the aquarium, a pair of vertical pupils Narrowed into two thin lines.

Lin Xiang walked over while buttoning up his shirt, "Dahei, why are you suddenly interested in this silly fish?"

The big black cat let out a cry, stood upright and lay down on the edge of the tank, and stretched its paws into the fish tank in one fell swoop.Lin Xiang was startled, and hurriedly picked up Dahei, but he didn't want the fish tank to be overturned by Dahei's claws. Hopping around on the ground with his fish mouth open, Lin Xiang grabbed Dahei and froze on the spot, looking at the wet trousers, luckily he got up early...

Putting the big black aside, staring at it to warn it not to make trouble again, Lin Xiang picked up the goldfish and threw it into a large bowl filled with water, took a broom and a dustpan to clean up the glass shards on the ground, but didn't expect big black to rush again. He came over, picked up the black stone from a pile of broken glass, put it at Lin Xiang's feet, pawed it twice, then squatted on the side, meowing.Lin Xiang scratched his head, but couldn't figure out what Dahei meant.He raised his legs to go, but his trousers were bitten. He had no choice but to bend down to pick up the stone, and Dahei let go.

"You want me to put away this stone?"

Meow!

"Oh, I see, but why?"

Meow meow!

……

"I've got water in my head, what are you talking to a cat about?"

Lin Xiang casually put the stone in his pocket, cleaned up the broken glass in twos and twos, watched the goldfish swim happily in the bowl, sprinkled some fish food into it, and threw it to Dahei with a few pieces of bread. It was getting late, so I hurriedly bit a piece of bread and left the house.
