Lao Chen is right.From that day on, it began to rain more in N City.

Although Chen likes the feeling of being in the rain very much, but with Lao Chen staring at him, he still restrained himself a little-in fact, it was because he has recently become obsessed with umbrellas!

The sound of rain falling on the umbrella, bang bang bang, made him feel very deaf.He has recently become addicted to listening, so he is temporarily out of the rain and has changed to an umbrella.

Old Chen saw that he was obediently using the umbrella, so he didn't say much, as long as he didn't get sick in the rain, he could run in the rain if he liked.Moreover, Chen's physical fitness is really good. In the past two months, Lao Chen has caught colds two or three times, and Chen is fine.

Because of the continuous rain, Chen's part-time job as a photography assistant was postponed.The recent part-time job information was all indoors, and Chen didn't like it, so he didn't answer it.

However, Lao Chen is still working under such a heavy rain, how can he be idle!Chen decided to go for a walk.

Treasure Chest unexpectedly agrees with him this time.

[Today is a good time to travel. 】

You can't go wrong with the suggestion of the treasure chest!Chen went out happily.

But after a while, the rain gradually became heavier and the wind became stronger, and the small trees beside the road were blown violently.Pedestrians have to hold on to the umbrella vigorously and move slowly against the wind, lest the umbrella be accidentally blown over.

Only Chen walked calmly. To him, this little rain was almost like taking a bath, and the wind was not strong enough to stop his pace.

He just strolled around in such a leisurely way, taking in scenes at the same time.

The wind and rain blocked the line of sight, so there was no need to worry about being found abnormal.People can't take care of themselves.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and finally it rushed down like pouring from the sky.

In the rain, Chen turned his ear and said, "Bao Chin, I seem to have heard something again."

[Someone is calling for help. 】The treasure chest said.

Chen thinks not.His hearing is different from humans, with many wave frequency patterns.When he was on the home planet, he often switched modes to play, and occasionally he could hear some distant sounds.

He felt that a certain sound in the rain was the same as that from the universe, and it did not seem to be made by humans.

But the words of the treasure chest diverted all his attention.

After coming to the earth for a while, he already knew very well how fragile the human body is.The road is slippery on a rainy day, and it is windy and rainy at the moment. Could it be that someone fell down, or was there a car accident?

Chen walked a certain distance according to the instructions of the treasure box, and when he reached a bend, he found a three-wheeled truck submerged in stagnant water.

The car was stuck for some reason, and the owner was pushing it hard in the wind and rain.However, he didn't know whether it was too tight or the cargo on the car was too heavy. Two or three passers-by came forward to help, but the car still didn't move at all.

A circle of white light flashed in Chen's eyes, and he saw through it, and found that there was a sewer mouth under the stagnant water, which was covered for some reason, and the wheels happened to be stuck.

He looked at the knee-deep water, waded through it, grabbed the wheel, exerted strength with one hand, lifted it easily, and quietly moved the wheel aside.

Several people cheered, in the wind and rain, no one saw his small movements underwater.

"Thank you, thank you!" The car owner, a middle-aged man in his 40s, wiped the rain from his face and thanked him loudly, a little helplessly.

Chen smiled, motioned for him to get on the car, walked around to the back of the car, and helped him push uphill.

After reaching the safe place, when the car owner came down again to ask for a reward, he found that Chen had already left, and his back quickly disappeared into the rain.

"Bao He, do you know when Lao Chen will come home?" Chen asked.

He picked a tree branch broken off by the wind and put it in the mouth of the sewer as a warning, so that no one else would fall into the pit, so he continued to walk in the rain, intending to absorb the rainstorm.

Treasure Chest seemed to be distracted and didn't notice his thoughts.

[Master doesn't want to go back yet, is he planning to help more people? 】

Chen thought for a while: "If someone needs help..."

Bao He immediately said: [Old Chen won't go home so soon. 】

Chen continued walking with confidence.

The rain washed the ground violently, and was carried by the wind to raise water mist.But for Chen, this is still a very gentle baptism.

The collision between the rain and the world makes various sounds, crisp, soft, dull... Chen thought it was very interesting, so he recorded it carefully.

"Treasure chest, the rain on the earth seems to be able to talk." He closed his eyes happily and listened.It was very quiet on the mother planet, and it was rare to hear voices outside of him and the treasure chest.

【Master, this is just a normal sound wave vibration phenomenon. 】The treasure chest reminded.

An explanation about the sound of rain appeared in front of Chen's eyes.

"But it sounds good." Chen said contentedly, "Treasure box, save this paragraph in my event book as well."

The treasure chest muttered and put it away. [What's so good about heavy rain? It sounds better when it's raining...]

Chen was stunned and said, "What is Xiao Yu's voice like?"

When it rained a while ago, he was so excited that he was soaked in the rain that he didn't notice the sound at all.

The treasure chest played back a passage for him.

It seems to be an early morning, starting with the first drop of rain.The raindrops fall on the green leaves, on the stones, and in the stagnant water, dripping, ticking... lightly split into more and smaller droplets, bouncing from high to low, and then spreading from near to far, like It's like sending some kind of message.

【message?I didn't analyze the message in the sound of rain. ] Treasure Box said suspiciously, and analyzed it again, divided all the sounds in the rain into separate tracks, and played them again for Chen to listen to.

"It's not this." Chen shook his head, "It's a feeling. It's like the rocks on our planet occasionally vibrated when the mother planet was not asleep."

The treasure box was silent for a long time before saying: [Does the master miss his home planet? 】

Chen looked up at the sky.Under the heavy rain, the simulated perspective of human beings can no longer distinguish the scenery, but he can still see the sky, the universe outside the sky, and even some celestial bodies closer to the earth through other modes.

But the mother star is too far away.Even he couldn't see it with the naked eye.

[If the master wants to see it, he can open the event book, and it will be like being on the home planet. 】

Chen shook his head.

The mother planet fell into silence a long time ago, and no longer gave him any response, otherwise he would not have come out to travel.

He walked for a while in the heavy rain, and finally returned home reluctantly.He had to take a shower and change into dry clothes before Lao Chen came back.

This time he obediently didn't procrastinate while taking a shower, and cleaned up right away.

But after waiting for a long time, until after [-] o'clock in the evening, it was almost dark, and Lao Chen didn't come back. When he called, it seemed that the power was turned off.

I clearly agreed that if it rains heavily, I will go home early...

Chen walked to the window and watched the torrential rain, feeling a little worried.The rain had just stopped in the evening, and now it is falling again.Will Lao Chen run into any trouble?

[No trouble, his driving route is moving this way. 】The treasure chest said.

Chen listened to the suggestion, obediently read at home and waited.

There are many books in the room, all of which belonged to Lao Chen's son.Old Chen said that when he was bored, he could watch it to pass the time.

In fact, Chen can completely scan and receive information through the treasure chest, no need to look at it with eyes.But he unexpectedly likes things like books. When flipping through them, he can rub the soft texture of the paper and smell the special aroma.

The text information is printed on paper, combined with the sensory experience, it is a bit strange, and the feeling is not quite the same as being directly conveyed to his brain.only……

"Baby box, I've finished reading ten books, why hasn't Lao Chen come back yet?" Chen couldn't help worrying again, turned over the book with clattering hands, and closed the book.

【…】

【Master, it's you who read too fast. 】

Treasure Box reminded: 【It’s okay when you’re at home, don’t flip through so fast when reading outside in the future, otherwise you will be regarded as a different kind. 】

Chen blinked his eyes twice, and said obediently: "Okay."

He put down the book, and after a while, footsteps sounded at the door.

He immediately ran to open the door.

Old Chen was pulling out his keys tiredly, when he saw the door opened, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.

"Xiao Chen is hungry, I'll cook right away."

Chen stared at him closely, and said, "Didn't you drive back, why are you still wet?"

"Oh, something happened to my colleague on the road, so I got out of the car to help." Lao Chen said, took a towel to wipe off, and went into the kitchen to do some work.

Chen hurriedly followed. "I'm coming, I've learned how to cook, Lao Chen can just rest."

How could he forget that the people on earth are going to eat at this time!

Lao Chen found an excuse to drive him out. "No, you turn on the TV and help me see tomorrow's weather forecast."

Chen obediently turned on the TV and tuned to the channel that Lao Chen usually watched.

"The forecast said that it will still rain tomorrow." Chen said.

He likes rainy days very much, but in this kind of weather, it will be very hard for Lao Chen to get out of the car.

[Tomorrow is also suitable for travel. 】The treasure chest said.

Chen was stunned, and whispered: "But, didn't you say that if it rains too much, bad things will happen?"

The treasure chest said solemnly: [It is written on the calendar, look, it is appropriate to decorate, start work, and travel tomorrow...]

Chen: "..."

"Treasure chest, old Chen said it was a superstition!"

【snort!He didn't even read the almanac when he was driving.And according to my analysis, there is still some truth. 】The treasure chest is plausible.

Chen looked at the thick book calendar hanging on the living room wall.

Every time Lao Chen went out, he would look at him twice, and he would write and draw while talking about something.It turns out that it depends on the date?

But in fact, no matter whether the days are good or bad, he drives out every day...

[Work is something that can’t be helped. 】The treasure chest said.

"But such heavy rain..." Chen looked out the window.The rain had washed the window panes so that we could not see the outside scenery.

"Yeah, it looks like it won't be easy to leave the car tomorrow." Lao Chen brought out the dishes and said with a frown.

Although people prefer to travel by car in rainy days, the road conditions will become very bad after continuous rainfall.

"Then don't go out tomorrow and rest." Chen said.

Old Chen thinks about it, it's not bad to take this opportunity to prepare a few good dishes at home. He has been busy getting out of the car recently, and he hasn't had a good meal with Chen.

Chen was still thinking about what excuses Minger would find to go out for a stroll, but when he heard what he said, he immediately stopped thinking about it, and said with bright eyes: "Do you want to make something delicious? I'll help too!"

The two chatted happily while eating.In fact, there is no need to discuss, Chen wants to eat anything!You can do anything for food!

He was already drooling just listening to Lao Chen describe the food.Whatever Old Chen said, he nodded frantically.

The two were chatting happily when suddenly there was a loud thunder, and the room was instantly dark.

"Hey, why is there a power outage?" Lao Chen stood up to fumble for the light source, but paused.

The moment the light went out, a soft light gradually rose from Chen's chest.

It was a red-gold treasure chest, small and heavy, a little bigger than a fingernail. It looked a little worn on weekdays, and it couldn't be seen what material it was made of. Old Chen always thought it was just a toy or an accessory.

But Chen attaches great importance to it, no matter where he goes or what he does, he always holds it in his hands.Old Chen thought it was probably left by his relatives, so he bought a chain and tied it around his neck, so that it would not be easy to lose it.

The little box is usually nothing special... but this time it shone like a gem.

Chen was pleasantly surprised: "Hey, I didn't expect it to be bright."

Lao Chen came back to his senses, and hurriedly looked for the mobile phone to light up. He didn't ask about the box, but urged: "Okay, hurry up and eat while it's hot. It won't be good if the food gets cold later. Put away the things, don't let someone else eat them next time." See, be careful of thieves.”

He had an intuition that the light was a bit special, and the box was probably not an ordinary gadget, but it was not easy to pay too much attention to it, so Chen thought about it, so he kept picking up vegetables for him.

Chen didn't think much of it at all, the treasure chest had a spiritual connection with him, no matter where it was, he could sense its location.Even if you accidentally lose it, the treasure box will return to your side by itself.

But he obediently stuffed the treasure box into his clothes, and solemnly agreed, "Yes."

The next morning, the rain stopped temporarily, but when Chen walked out of the room, he found that Lao Chen had disappeared!Looking at the calendar again, today's date is the same as yesterday's, and a tick is drawn.

Chen: "??" We agreed not to drive today, how about cooking together?

[It must be habitually going out when the time comes, master please forgive me, survival is a big deal for human beings. 】The treasure chest comforted me.

Sure enough, Lao Chen called back shortly after to apologize.

"It doesn't matter." Chen said looking at the clear sky. "I can cook well by myself, remember to come back early to eat."

He went downstairs to buy some ingredients, and went shopping by the way, but he was shocked when he reached the street.

The road is full of stagnant water and broken branches and leaves.

Just an ordinary rainstorm destroyed so many vegetation.Those green leaves, those flowers, it looks like a pity...

Chen once again realized the fragility of life on this planet.

He walked a little further, and even saw a fallen tree lying in the middle of the road in a shocking way.

The big tree looks like it has been around for a certain period of time, and the trunk is so thick that it cannot be moved by human power alone.Passers-by rushing to work were carefully crawling past, but the car had to be stopped.

Someone got out of the car and made a call to respond to the relevant department.

It would take a lot of time to wait for someone to come over to deal with it, and some vehicles were already blocked on the road at this time, making it impossible to pass.

Chen couldn't help but stepped forward.

The treasure box immediately reminded: 【Master, with the strength of ordinary people, it is impossible to move this tree. 】

Chen knew that Treasure Box didn't want him to attract attention.but……

"I like that tree!" He said to himself, "I don't know if the broken tree can be replaced by earthlings... Treasure box, do you think the mother planet can plant trees? Can it grow alive? Can it grow?" Is it big?"

While muttering, he approached the fallen tree, and then touched the trunk, touching this side, then that side, and tried to push it.

"It's not heavy at all, I can move it with one hand~"

【no. 】The treasure chest said sternly.

"But..." Chen was really moved!

He definitely didn't have to help people move the tree away!

However, the treasure chest did not budge.

[No, the master will be suspected if his behavior is too abnormal in public. 】

"I'm moving fast! I won't let anyone see it."

[No, there are surveillance nearby. 】

……

Finally, the car from the garden department arrived in time, and the tree was loaded onto the truck and transported away...

Chen regretted that he couldn't help, so he could only watch the big tree leave, then turned around and cleaned up other small branches with enthusiastic passers-by.He thought, when he left the earth, if possible, he would take another tree back with him.Surely he can protect it from the wind!

Or...he won't go back...

He picked up a branch and went back, put it in a vase, looked back and forth lovingly, and sighed.

【Master, it needs soil to survive. ] The treasure chest couldn't help reminding.

Chen was wandering around the house with the vase in his arms, looking for a good place to put it, so as not to accidentally knock the bottle over. Hearing this, he suddenly murmured: "By the way, the soil! I have to remember to change the soil..."

【…】

Treasure box remembers that from this day on, Chen became obsessed with collecting items.

His drawers are filled with all kinds of gadgets he picked up, and the desk by the window is full of various plants.

He was even worried: "Treasure chest, tell me, what if human beings don't want our stones?"

His planet is nothing but rocks!

The treasure chest was having a headache for him picking up things, so he said seriously: [So, the master can only exchange some useful things~]

Chen looked at the things in the room——

"The book... contains a lot of knowledge and stories. Even if you have read it many times, flipping through the book can relieve your boredom. It is useful!"

"Plants, water, soil, Lao Chen...all are useful!"

The treasure box reminded: [Old Chen, you got in here. 】

"Can't Lao Chen take it? Can I invite him to play on the home planet?"

【Master, there is no oxygen on our planet, people on earth will not be able to breathe, and will suffocate to death. 】The treasure chest is patiently reminded.

Chen couldn't help being stunned.How could he have forgotten this!

At this time, Lao Chen was walking to the door, holding a dipping sauce dish and asking, "Would Xiaochen eat salty or sweet?"

"Ah!" Chen quickly replied, "Both."

The earth's food is rich in taste, and if he can, he wants to try them all!

Old Chen happily said: "Okay, there are all of them."

The treasure box hesitated to speak, and finally said: [Master, remember not to eat up Jiang Jiang alone, it will be regarded as a different kind. 】

"Oh!" Chen agreed, and muttered again: "I don't know if our stone can be exchanged for something, can it be..."

Every time Chen wanted to know something, he would keep talking about it, today and tomorrow, endlessly.

The treasure chest knew it couldn't be stopped, so he had to say: [Earth people will not refuse, our stone is very strong, not afraid of cold and heat, and can also block particle wind, especially suitable for building spaceships.As far as I know, they have longed for interstellar travel for a long time. 】

Speaking of this, it reminded: [However, the stones of the mother planet are very precious, and the owner cannot exchange too many. 】

"Understood, then use my little bed first." Chen said happily. "I want to change a tree to make oxygen for Lao Chen!"

【…】

The treasure chest is now starting to worry.It has a premonition that the host will definitely not invite only one person from Earth.
