mini people

After a few days of calm, Shen Jiyun was so bored at home that he was almost bored.

He was planning to go out today, but Shen Yuze was moved when he heard the news: "Where are you going?"

Shen Jiyun: "In the supermarket, the food stored at home is almost exhausted. I'll go out and buy some."

Shen Yuze: "I'll go buy it."

Shen Jiyun: "You who don't know the difference between oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, do you know what to buy?"

Shen Yuze frowned: "I..."

Shen Jiyun guessed what he wanted to say, and interrupted him dumbfounded: "What are you doing? I can't hide from that surnamed Wang for the rest of my life, can I? Besides, he is just a kid of seventeen or eighteen, and he dared to attack me in broad daylight." ?” As he spoke, he picked up the peaked cap hanging behind the door and put it on his head, then rubbed Shen Yuze's head casually, angrily and funnyly said: "Like a dog."

Shen Yuze: "??"

Shen Jiyun explained: "I mean a dog like a police dog."

Shen Yuze: "...???"

Shen Jiyun: "Okay, read your book at home, and wait for me to come back."

Indeed, Shen Yuze also felt a little nervous.

In fact, since his brother dropped out of school, he has often fought with young people in society, but he has never suffered any serious losses, because his brother was very active when he was young, and he has learned Sanda and Muay Thai for a long time.

But this time is different, this time his brother offended Wang Chaolin, Wang Chaolin may not be able to beat his brother, but what about the forces behind Wang Chaolin?

Shen Yuze didn't know their details, so he always felt uneasy.

Just as he was feeling worried, the sound of a text message from his mobile phone interrupted his thoughts.

It was He Minghao who sent it, and the other party asked Shen Yuze if he had any arrangements for the summer vacation, and wanted to invite him to attend an academic summer camp abroad.

He Minghao's father is a professor at the university, and his uncle is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, so he has many resources around him.But as a friend who had just met for a few days, Shen Yuze was really touched by the fact that the other party missed him so much.

"What summer camp? In what country?" he asked.

He Minghao: "It's related to our future major. When we go to country B, several well-known biologists will give lectures on gene research. I read in the introduction that there will be a special session by Stanley Barton! How about it, are you interested?"

...Stanley Barton?

Shen Yuze's eyes lit up. When he was in middle school, he had read a paper about "mutants" by Barton. According to Barton's research, the current bio-gene technology can combine the special genes of some animals with human genes to create more high-quality mutants. race.For example, if the sonar gene of a whale is implanted into the human body, humans can also have the function of sonar positioning; another example is to implant the gene that releases chemical substances between ants through tactile glands into the human body, and humans can communicate without speaking...

Shen Yuze was very interested in these novel research directions, but Barton's research was too anti-worldly and was strongly opposed by some human rights organizations and ethics associations, so it only stayed at the theoretical level.

But for young students like them, these curious studies are much more interesting than boring academics.

Shen Yuze was very moved, but he didn't think there was a free lunch in the world: "It sounds interesting, but I don't know how much it costs to participate in this summer camp?"

Sure enough, He Minghao said: "Every person is [-] yuan, half a month, including visas, air tickets, and all travel, board and lodging in country B."

When Shen Yuze saw it, his heart sank.

He Minghao didn't know his family's situation, so he continued to encourage with great interest: "Tell your parents, we are all recommended to go to the National University, so there should be some rewards, right? [-] is not expensive, I think it's a good deal Yes, it’s about the same price for a trip abroad.”

Shen Yuze held the phone, not knowing how to reply.

His brother is in charge of the family accounts. Although Shen Jiyun has never lost his pocket money, Shen Yuze knows their current economic level.

The Shen family was originally a well-to-do family, and the parents' car accident did not give them much pension. After three years, the family's finances could only go out. Not only the food, drink, housing and transportation of the two brothers, but also Shen Yuze's tuition fees were all expenses.

Shen Yuze hesitated for a moment, then replied to He Minghao: "Well, let me ask."

Hey, when the time comes, I will reject He Minghao and say that there are other arrangements at home...

Putting down the phone, Shen Yuze sighed.

Their family's money used to last at most until he and his brother graduated from college. Now that his brother is not going to school, there may be a little left over, but the price of goods is rising every year, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

For a while, Shen Yuze even wondered if his brother dropped out of school to save money so that he could study for a few more years.

Of course, this question was dismissed by Shen Jiyun who rolled his eyes and said, "You are my holy father".

But in the past two years, he and his brother lived in a bit of poverty.

If the family had money, would his brother still need to cook by himself every day?

Shen Yuze looked up at the small house of only sixty-odd square meters, and began to worry again. His brother is now floating in the society like this, and he doesn't have much income. In the future, he will still be required to make money to support the family.

When he has money, he will take his brother to change to a bigger house. At that time, the two brothers will share a room, and equip his brother with a high-end computer, so that he can play whatever game he wants, and it is best not to go out and fool around. up.

Looking forward to the future, Shen Yuze regained motivation and buried himself in the study materials.

When Shen Yuze started to worry about his brother's accident again, Shen Jiyun came back.

"Why did it take so long to go to the supermarket?" Shen Yuze had been guarding the door of the living room for half an hour at that time, and then he noticed blood stains on his brother's clothes and skin on his knuckles with sharp eyes.

"What's going on? Are you being troubled by someone?" He immediately asked with a frown.

Shen Jiyun scolded in a low voice: "I ran into a few bastards."

Shen Yuze asked anxiously, "Is it from Wang Chaolin?"

His brother turned his back in silence, and Shen Yuze asked again: "Is it?"

Shen Jiyun couldn't avoid it, so he replied sullenly: "I don't know, I guess so." Afraid that Shen Yuze would think too much, he added, "However, several of them still couldn't beat me and were beaten away by me."

Shen Yuze was stuffy in his heart, and wanted to scold, but couldn't.

Shen Jiyun smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't make such an expression, I'm fine."

He lowered his head to check the things he bought. Among them were two small rectangular cake boxes, and the cakes inside had been completely smashed.Shen Jiyun's heart felt sorry for this, holding it in his hands and yelling "Aiya" and "Aiya", as if it was his heart that hurt from being smashed.

Shen Yuze asked, "Why are you buying cakes?"

Shen Jiyun: "Today is our birthday, have you forgotten?"

Shen Yuze felt sour for a moment.

Seeing that his younger brother was still frowning, Shen Jiyun said helplessly: "Okay, I will try to go out as little as possible in the future, and if I run into Wang Chaolin's group, I will go around, okay?"

Shen Yuze: "..."

Shen Jiyun rummaged through the bag again, annoyed: "Oops, I don't know where I lost a bag of spices." Then he picked up the key and went out to look for it.

Shen Yuze stopped him and said, "What's missing, I'll go to the convenience store downstairs to buy it."

Shen Jiyun: "Soy sauce, cooking wine, and a pack of sugar... Remember that the soy sauce must be dark soy, don't buy it wrong."

Shen Yuze: "Got it."

Shen Yuze went downstairs muttering a few things.

The breeze in the evening in early summer was filled with tides, and there seemed to be a ray of uneasiness in Shen Yuze's heart surging in the sultry air.

As soon as he turned around after buying the seasoning, Shen Yuze keenly noticed that a stranger was looking at him not far away, but that person turned his head away quickly.

...was someone sent by Wang Chaolin to deal with his brother?

Shen Yuze's heart was beating wildly, and he walked back pretending to be calm while paying attention to the movements around him.

Then, he was shocked to find that more than one person was following—

Behind the tree at nine o'clock, at the bus stop at the corner, passers-by who look like they are chatting with hawkers on the right hand side...

Those unfamiliar faces are at the door of their house, within a radius of 300 meters.

They already knew that Shen Jiyun lived here.

Seeing that he was almost at the door of the house, Shen Yuze changed his mind, turned around suddenly and walked towards the convenience store again.

One of the people who followed him directly was obviously not good at making a temporary U-turn, so he could only keep going.

The two passed by, and Shen Yuze glanced at him pretending to be casual.

It was a middle-aged man with a square face, high forehead, and a stubble on his chin. He was not particularly handsome.

However, the moment Shen Yuze looked at him, the other party also looked over, and after only half a second of looking at each other, the cold murderous intent in that person's eyes made Shen Yuze shiver uncontrollably.

Inexplicably, the words that his deskmate relayed earlier appeared in his mind - "Wang Chaolin let your brother disappear from this world."

"Boss, another bottle of Erguotou, one catty." Shen Yuze said to the owner in a steady voice.

When he went home and opened the door, his hand holding the key was trembling, and he closed the door, but he couldn't close the door, which was full of dangers...

Shen Yuze leaned against the back of the door prostratedly, sweating coldly.

"Have you bought anything?" His brother leaned out from the kitchen, "What's the matter?"

Shen Yuze smiled calmly: "I bought them all, take a look."

Shen Jiyun took it over: "Why did you buy a bottle of white wine?"

Shen Yuze: "Aren't you an adult, let's have some wine to celebrate."

Shen Jiyun sneered: "It's just the two of us with a one-cup physique, drink a hairball."

A few seconds later, Shen Jiyun roared again from the kitchen: "I told you to buy dark soy sauce, why did you buy light soy sauce!!"

Shen Yuze: "..."

The meal in the evening was richer than usual, with a sweet and sour crucian carp and a plate of braised pork ribs. Two smashed cakes were squeezed together in the middle, and candles were inserted.

Shen Yuze poured wine for himself and his brother before dinner, and the two brothers clinked glasses after blowing out the candles, wishing each other a happy birthday.

Shen Jiyun frowned and said: "Damn, people drink baijiu in small cups, you make such a big cup, you want to drink me to death!"

Shen Yuze: "It doesn't matter, anyway, one drink per person, and the blessings are shared!"

Shen Jiyun gritted her teeth: "We have to deal with difficulties..."

One bite down, almost vomiting blood.

Shen Yuze also grinned in pain, and hurriedly picked up a piece of ribs and put them in his mouth: "Uh... it's faded."

Shen Jiyun said with red eyes and thick neck: "I'm going to die from this wine, but you can still taste it! Like it or not!"

Shen Yuze laughed heartily: "Eat, you eat too."

This birthday meal was very enjoyable. The two brothers talked about many interesting things that happened when they were young. If Shen Jiyun wasn't drunk, they might chat all night.

Shen Yuze carried his drunk brother into the bedroom and threw him on the bed.

I only heard Shen Jiyun utter the last sentence with his tongue out before losing consciousness: "My mother...why didn't I find out before...you, you drink better than me..."

Shen Yuze murmured with a low smile: "Fool, because what I drink is water."
