Striving for Science - Chapter 44
He turned around and was ready to go, but when he walked, he remembered that when he was a kid, he didn’t know that this colorful stone was made of glass, and thought it was a colorful **** stone, he asked his mother to buy him several pieces.
Later, when he moved to the country to live with his grandmother, he hurriedly walked away. The stones hadn’t been collected. He hadn’t played these things since.
Thinking of this, he turned back and picked up the solitary stone and stuffed it into his coat pocket.
Not to mention, a mass not much bigger than a bird’s egg is quite heavy.
When arriving at Uncle Zhang’s house, Shen Changan distributed the barbecue to Zhang Gu and the otaku. I saw Uncle Zhang and Master Yin Yin discussing some mysterious and profound life philosophy. Although he didn’t understand it very well, he felt quite powerful.
The phone rang, it was the call from the custom shop owner Shen Changan was looking for.
“It’s done so quickly, doesn’t it mean it’s taken at noon?”
“Can I come here now?” Shen Changan saw that it was still early, and wanted to get the gift he had customized for Dao Nian earlier.
“I’ll be here in half an hour, and I’ll trouble you.” Shen Changan hung up the phone and got up to go out the door.
“Changan, where are you going?” Zhang Gu was robbing chicken wings with the otaku ghost. Seeing that Shen Changan had just entered the door and was ready to go, “It’s so late.”
“I ordered a gift for a friend, but I could get it tomorrow, but the owner is ready today. I want to send it to him as soon as possible.” Shen Changan said while walking away, after the sentence was finished, the person was already Going out a few steps, thinking that Daoian might like this gift, his two legs moved faster.
“Hey …” Zhang Gu chased at the door and looked at the back of Shen Changan who hurried away: “Is it too late to take a gift for someone this evening?”
“Whether late or late, the moment you give a gift to the person you care about, the moment you get it, even if you want to give it to him in the middle of the night.” Human feelings. ”
“Do you know a dead houseman?” Zhang Gu returned to the sofa and continued to grab a barbecue with the houseboy. “If you really understand it, you will not be single to death. If you want to get out of single, you probably wait until the next life.” Now. ”
“I remember that someone seemed to make me take him to play a game just now?” The otaku ghost surmised, “I’m sorry, the one who is single to death is the least angry …”
Zhang Gu: “…”
Recalling that he was scolded for box essence in a certain game, he decided to admit it.
Shen Changan rushed all the way to the door of the store. Several nearby stores were closed. Only this store was still dimly lit.
“Boss, I’m sorry to keep you waiting.” Shen Changan knocked on the door and walked in. The owner is a 60- to 70-year-old man. The store less than ten square meters looks a little crowded. The owner is sitting under a handmade lamp and is gently wiping the newly carved objects with a cloth.
Seeing Shen Changan come in, he put down his hand and got up and took out a slap-sized box in the cabinet: “This is what you ordered.”
Originally like this tree carving, it takes a long time to get a finished product. However, Shen Changan had good luck. When he came to pick a gift, he just valued a small root carving that was about to be completed and no one bought it, so he immediately paid a month’s salary and bought it.
“Now there are not many people who like this kind of thing. Is the young man giving it to the elders at home?” The shopkeeper shook his hand and put the box in the palm of Shen Changan. The night in November was very cold and there was no air conditioning in the store. Shen Changan was not careful It touched the owner’s hand and was cold.
He was a little embarrassed. In such a cold day, he also let the owner uncle wait for so long. He remembered that there was a fast food restaurant nearby that was not closed. He put the box back in his hand: “You wait for me for two minutes, I will come back immediately . ”
When I went to a fast food restaurant and bought a cup of hot milk, Shen Changan gasped and put the milk in the hands of the owner: “You hold this warm hand, I will pay you the final payment.”
The owner smiled with milk: “You have just arrived tonight, and my store will be closed tomorrow.”
Shen Changan, who took out his mobile phone and prepared to scan the QR code on the wall to pay the bill, was stunned to hear this. When he came over last night, the uncle said that he did n’t want his craft to be broken in his hand. He wanted to find an apprentice. Why did you suddenly decide to close the door?
“I made the root carving for a lifetime, and I returned to Wuming City in recent years, just to find a suitable apprentice.” The owner’s eyes swept the various root carvings in the house, and his eyes were full of reluctance. “It’s just life There is always something unsatisfactory, but nothing more. ”
Shen Changan felt a bit sad in this atmosphere. He paid the final payment and picked up the box with the root carving: “This is not for the elders. I want to give it to a friend, because … it is beautiful, and I am also very like.”
“Now there are not many young people who like these traditional crafts.” The owner smiled, probably because he sat in the house all year long and made tree sculptures. His face looked pale under the lights. “I was already asleep, but I thought There is still an order not handed to you, this customer, I am always uneasy. Fortunately, you came here tonight, or I wo n’t be able to hand it to you tomorrow. ”
Shen Changan thought this was a bit strange. Even if the store is to be closed tomorrow, do n’t worry about this night?
“Then … Thank you for taking care of your body.” Shen Changan put the gift box into the wide jacket pocket and turned to go out. After seeing the owner holding the cup of hot milk and smiling at himself, he couldn’t help but say softly. A sentence: “Drink the milk while it is hot and sleep better at night.”
“Got it, young man.” The shopkeeper smiled more kindly. “Young man, you have such a good heart and a blessed person.”
Shen Changan thought that he had no father or mother, and it would be a blessing to have one person to eat the whole family without being hungry. But thinking of the happy life he had recently encountered after Dao Nian, he felt that he was still a little blessed.
He walked across the cold junction, and when he looked back, the light of the root carving shop that looked narrow and worn out had gone out. A gust of wind blew so cold that he couldn’t help but tremble a few times, quickly squeezed himself into the car, and drove the car to Daunian’s home.
After driving into the community and stopping the car, Shen Changan just stopped the car and saw several people walk out of Daonian’s house with frustration. This was because the business was not good enough and was criticized by Daonian, otherwise how sad it would be.
He gave way to the side, ready to let them go first. A thin man walking at the forefront stopped, turned to look at him, and nodded politely to him: “Mr. Shen is good.”
“Hello.” Shen Changan was puzzled. How did these people know him? However, the condition of these people seems to be too bad, he did not ask much, he had to watch them leave.
“Mr. Shen?” Shentu saw Changan standing on the steps and smiled: “How did you come here?”
“Dao Nian has not slept?” Shen Changan embarrassedly told them that he specially prepared a customized gift for Dao Nian, and humbly put his hand into his coat pocket.
“Sir hasn’t slept yet.” Hearing Shen Changan came over to find Dao Nian specifically, Shen Tu smiled more clearly and opened the door. “You come in quickly, it’s cold outside.”
After Shen Changan entered the house, he found that the parrot on the bird stand was a bit wrong, and the whole bird was roaring, as if it was greatly stimulated.
“What’s wrong with this parrot?” Shen Changan took some food and put it in front of the parrot, and it didn’t move.
“Maybe it’s because I didn’t see you today, so I’m not happy.” Liu Mao walked to Shen Chang’an and looked at Feiying without spirit, “Is it, little parrot.”
Feiying shook her feathers and waved her wings: “Yes, yes …”
Shen Changan lightly tapped the feathers on its forehead and said to Liu Mao: “I’ll go up to find Daonian first, you coax this bird first.”
“Okay.” Liu Mao said with a smile. “You didn’t come over for dinner today. Mr. Mr. used less than half a bowl.”
“How do you do that?” Shen Changan heard and hurried upstairs.
As soon as Shen Changan left, Feiying lay back again. As a bird clan demon repair, Phoenix remains missing, and even the elders within the clan can’t figure out its trace, which is a huge blow to the bird clan and even the entire clan.
She’s happy now.
I do n’t know who stolen the Phoenix Egg. The original sign of the egg ’s life was already very weak, and it was barely maintained by the spiritual power of the elders every day.
Feiying didn’t dare to think about it, but she knew it was not a good omen.
“Dao Nian.” Shen Changan walked into Dao Nian’s house and saw that he was still reading. He closed the door and said, “It’s so late, why are you still reading?”
“It’s so late, how come?” Daonian gave him a light look.
“Hey.” Shen Changan smiled triumphantly, walked to Daonian and whispered like a thief: “I ordered a small gift for you, because this is a bit expensive, so I only ordered it for you alone. “This kind of differential treatment cannot be heard by others.
He digs in the pocket of his jacket, takes out the gift box, and accidentally drops the colorful stone that he just put into his pocket, but neither of the parties concerned controlled the colorful stone.
“This is … you prepared it for me specifically?” Dao Nian stared at the box in Shen Chang’an’s hand for a few seconds, and reached for it with his hand.
The box opened and there was a root carving inside. The root carving is not complicated. There are two little rabbits on the crooked moon, and on the tip of the moon, there is a half-open creeper.
“Look at these two bunnies, one is sitting still and the other is smiling like we are both?” Shen Changan said, “I wanted to buy it when I saw this root carving yesterday, but the owner There is one more point to complete. I could get it tomorrow. As a result, the owner called me just now and said it was ready, and I ca n’t wait to get it back. ”
Daonian looked at the two little rabbits and carved such a small rabbit. He couldn’t really see what exactly looked like them.
But since Chang’an said something like that, it’s like it.
“Right, isn’t it very similar?” Shen Changan saw Dao Nian staring at the two bunnies and said with joy, “I’ve been thinking for a long time, and I don’t know what I can give you. I think this is good, both exquisite, It looks good. ”
And he can afford it.
“Well, like.” Daonian placed Gendiao on the bedside, took out his phone and took a picture, and then opened the circle of friends.
Year: gift [picture]
Shen Changan remembered the colorful stones that fell on the carpet, and picked them up and put them next to the vase on the cabinet: “People drop the stuffed cake in the sky, I drop the colorful stones in the sky.”
He stepped back two steps and carefully read: “But this colorful stone like a bird’s egg is quite suitable to be placed next to the vase.”
Daonian only noticed the stone next to the vase. His eyelids twitched slightly, and his eyes stayed on Shen Changan for a long time: “Is this what you picked?”
“Well.” Shen Changan nodded. “I just got to the door of the community today and I was hit by this thing. Fortunately, I was lucky. I wasn’t opened.”
When he saw Dou Nian, he seemed to be not interested in these small stones of a few dollars, so he put the stones in his jacket pocket again: “I thought it was a bird egg at first.”
“For example, a colorful **** stone descended from the sky, and after encountering the Son of Destiny, a phoenix or a dragon was broken from the inside, and from then on to the peak of life …”
As he was talking, Shen Changan paused suddenly, shaking and took out the stone in his pocket.
“This … this … cracked.”
So it wasn’t this stone that opened his head, it was his head that broke it?
Shen Changan couldn’t help but touch the place where he was smashed again. There was a less obvious packet there, which felt a bit painful and not hard.
So is there still a problem with the quality of this handmade colorful stone?
“Squeak …” A pink bird with almost no fluff on his body, a bird about the size of his thumb, crawled out of the stone with difficulty.
Shen Changan shook hands holding the stone and the bird, he looked blankly at the bird with his mouth open for food, and then looked up at the expressionless Dao Nian: “Dao, Dao Nian, a bird popped out of the stone ?! ”
The author has something to say: Chang’an: Shit ~ The ugly, small and weak bird, this was rejected by the mother bird, kicked out of the nest?
