Star tour among flowers

What he did was not a bad thing, Ji Xinchen rubbed his nose and laughed to himself, as if he had a guilty conscience, why did he run?

After wandering the street for a while, he stopped by an ugly sculpture.It is two or three meters high, placed at the junction of the sidewalk and the aircraft road, just out of the shadow of the building, and is golden reflected by the sun.This sculpture is four or five animals with long legs and four hooves. Ji Xinchen looked at it for a long time but didn't understand what it was carved.The lines drawn are very crude, each animal has two black holes for its eyes, two horns on its head, and a... pointed mouth.

Uh, what a strange aesthetic...

The red sky didn't change the golden sunlight, Ji Xinchen stretched out his hand to block the direction of the sun, and watched with some fascination that his hands were flushed red by the light.This is a flawless hand, but he has not forgotten that when he was a child, he was scalded by hot water, and there was a shallow scar the size of a coin on the back of his right hand. As he got older, it became lighter and lighter, but it was still the same. obviously.

——But the right hand in front of him does not have any scars, and the skin is delicate and fair.

Ji Xinchen touched his heart with the other hand, his warm, lively heart was beating.He was alive, he was in perfect health, and the sickness and infirmity that had lingered and haunted him had really gone far away from him.

so good.

so good!

The mood was so cheerful that Ji Xinchen almost wanted to shout to the sky, his smile became very bright unconsciously.

"Boy!"

A thick old voice shouted from a distance.Ji Xinchen turned his head and saw a middle-aged uncle trotting towards him with a smile on his face, "Young man! Do you think my sculpture is very tasteful! I have never seen anyone like it so much!"

This is an uncle who is at least 60 years old, tall and strong, wearing a neat chef uniform and a chef hat.Liv's body ages relatively slowly, and 60 years old looks similar to a 40-year-old human on Earth.Ji Xinchen's gaze moved from the uncle to the shop behind him, where the sign above it read 'noodles'.

"Hello." Ji Xinchen smiled at the uncle, pointed to the sculpture and asked, "You mean, is this your work?"

"Hey, yes! Young man, I saw you staring at it for a long time! Do you think it is very beautiful and moved you?" The uncle stood up next to the animals with holes in his eyes, "I, that is Its creator, every line on these antelopes, was carved out by me with one hammer and one chisel!"

The uncle has a bold black beard, he holds his 'sheep' with a proud expression.Ji Xinchen deeply felt that he saw a king who was inspecting his subjects, a king who was full of confidence and pride in his country, what he was supporting was not a sculpture, but his own shining golden throne...

"Cough, actually I don't really understand..." After Ji Xinchen finished speaking, he saw the uncle's expression turned disappointed, so he thought about it, and asked in the most gentle tone, "So, these animals are actually, Antelope? Did the antelope look like this?" Ji Xinchen took a peek at the holes in the eyes, and tried hard to suppress his smile to convince himself, um, this is an antelope.

The uncle's enthusiasm was mobilized again, he patted the sculpture and said, "Ha, I knew it, you have never seen a picture of an antelope! It is an animal that existed a long time ago on our home planet. It has a very light body. The four legs are slender and long, and they like to run on the vast grassland!" The uncle made several ups and downs, jumping and galloping movements, "They are called grassland elves, elegant, agile and cute!"

Ji Xinchen smiled slightly, wondering if there are still antelopes on the earth?Even if not, there are more new species now, which are also strong, agile, and vigorous, but this uncle's love for this kind of animal is really contagious, "I believe that it must be a particularly lively animal. They always It’s living in groups on the grassland. It’s because you like it, did you make this group of sculptures? I saw your clothes and thought you were a chef.”

"I'm a chef now, and I opened a small noodle restaurant over there. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself," the uncle adjusted his chef hat and grinned, "I'm the owner and chef of Noodles, My name is Zhang Qin."

"My name is Ji Xinchen. To be honest, I didn't recognize what it is, but I can see that you must have put a lot of effort into it." Ji Xinchen looked up at the spiral lines engraved on the horns. Exquisite.And the ground these sheep stepped on was faithfully depicted as uneven as a grassland, with some protruding small stones and the shape of weeds.

"Why did you put it here?" Ji Xinchen asked.

"Hey, it's legal. I've applied to the municipal government." Uncle Zhang Qin hurriedly explained, for fear of being misunderstood. "Sculpture is my biggest hobby. No, I think this is my lifelong dream. I want to carve out An animal statue that can really impress people! My material is not only antelope, but I have also collected many other ancient animal materials. I have also carved various birds, various fish, and the legendary crocodile, although including me Including my partner, everyone feels bad."

Seeing Ji Xinchen's expression was very flat, Uncle Zhang Qin touched the back of his head and sighed, "Okay, I understand what you think about it. But it's okay, I'm preparing the next sculpture, and the next thing I want to try is A brown bear! That is a gigantic creature standing more than two meters tall! When I carve it out, it will definitely be a great work!"

What kind of pride and enthusiasm is this, telling my dream...

Seeing Uncle Zhang Qin's radiant face full of imagination and anticipation, Ji Xinchen took a deep breath, calmed down seriously, nodded and smiled at Uncle Zhang Qin, "I think you will definitely be more serious The better."

All dreams, whether they come true or not, are precious.

"So he used all the money he earned to buy materials," the chubby Dai Lisi said to Ji Xinchen while eating noodles on the long table in front of the open kitchen, "The alloys used for these sculptures are all specially made Yes, the general price is three hundred liv coins per gram, and he likes to make extra large statues every time, I don’t think it looks good at all.”

Sitting next to Dai Lisi, Ji Xinchen saw Zhang Qin, who was kneading dough in the kitchen, smiling silently at him, and even pulled the corners of his mouth and hung his eyelids to make a grimace while Dai Lisi buried his head in the soup.Raising his eyebrows at the increasingly unstable uncle, Ji Xinchen drank the last soup in the noodle bowl and continued to listen to Aunt Dai Lisi's complaints.

This woman in her 40s is Zhang Qin's partner and works in a nearby building. She came here for lunch and inspection during her lunch break.Zhang Qin enthusiastically invited Ji Xinchen to taste his noodles, and the two continued to chat about sculptures. As a result, after Dai Lisi came, this place became Dai Lisi's personal speech.

There were many customers in the noodle shop at noon, and most of them would say hello to the two when they came in, and then sit down to eat noodles.Uncle Zhang Qin only has one noodle in a bowl, which is very thin and very long. The noodle soup is rich, the ingredients are very fragrant, and the taste is very good, so there are many customers.

"Besides, if these metal carvings are broken, they can't be disposed of casually. They say they will pollute the environment, so you have to pay a waste disposal company to help, and they have to charge by weight. Oh, I can't believe it. Just such a pile of waste, every year It also costs a lot of money!"

Ji Xinchen knew this, because of the strict laws on environmental protection, everyone on Livstar was forced to develop good habits, and all garbage would be sorted and disposed of by professional service providers.

"It's rare to have something you like to do. Uncle has persisted for more than [-] years. I think he is very good." Ji Xinchen said very loyally, "Maybe one day, uncle's works will receive a lot of attention." A lot of people like it."

Dai Lisi waved her fat hand like a head of state inspecting the people, not saving face for her partner at all, "Since I met him when I was 20 years old, he has been engraving this and that! Huh, maybe he will die Now, his works became popular. Isn’t there many such examples in history.”

Ji Xinchen narrowed his eyes and smiled, Aunt Dai Lisi is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Seeing her talk about uncle these things like a treasure, she is obviously very caring, and maybe she will be anxious because her partner's work is not praised by others. Woolen cloth.The relationship between the two is very good. Ji Xinchen noticed that Uncle Zhang Qin put a lot of ingredients in the noodles made for Dai Lisi, and the noodle soup was only added when it was cooled to a suitable temperature. Not so good.

"Xinchen, are you a supernatural person?" Dai Lisi saw Ji Xinchen nodded, showing a triumphant smile of "it really is so", "I can see it, I have seen tens of thousands of people, and the body For a good store service employee, I have a very sharp eye."

"Can you tell the difference just by looking at it? Why?" Ji Xinchen cheered.

Aunt Dai Lisi gulped down all the last noodle soup in one breath. Her physical advantages made her much more heroic than a man like Ji Xinchen. "Most superhumans have better physical fitness than ordinary people, so Their manners are always more restrained than ordinary people, and they look a little more radiant. Like Xin Chen, I can’t even imagine what you would be like if you were more handsome and more radiant than you are now Oh, it would be strange if you weren't a supernatural being! Oh my god, my god, what a handsome little guy this is!"

Aunt Dai Lisi pinched and rubbed Ji Xinchen's face with a pair of fat hands, and then took the opportunity to kiss him on the left and right cheeks, laughing loudly.

"..." Ji Xinchen was so embarrassed that he wanted to push her away but didn't know where to start. By the time he finished hesitating, he had already been kissed.

Women of this age are so thick-skinned!

The uncle banged the chopping board in the kitchen jealously, "Your partner is here, Dai Lisi!"

"If I decide to have a child after I become an adult, I will probably be about the same age as Xin Chen. Why are you jealous!"

"Obviously you didn't want to give birth at that time!"

"Give birth, Doris! I can't take it anymore!" one guest interjected.

"Of course I don't want to. I was young and beautiful back then, how could I raise a child as soon as I grow up!"

"And then you just put it off for 20 years! You know I've wanted to be a dad for years! How many toy drawings have I saved up!"

"Hmph! You lock yourself in your studio as soon as you come home at night! Day and night in front of that pile of metal, I don't think you need kids!"

"Who said I don't want it anymore! I will definitely love him very much in the future! Whether it's a boy or a girl, I will run around with him on my neck!"

"And then you have to teach him how to carve, which is annoying!"

"That's obviously a very interesting hobby!"

……

A pair of couples quarreled like this, saliva splashing everywhere.The chopping board and long table for kneading dough were clattered to show the host's anger.Ji Xinchen saw a dozen or so customers in the noodle shop laughing, and from time to time someone interrupted to make things worse, and he was very happy.

Consciously becoming a backdrop, Ji Xinchen withdrew his elbow from the table. Aunt Dai Lisi was so strong, and his arm was a little numb when he slapped the table...

When I go back tonight, I will tell Ah Yi what happened today, it’s so interesting!Ji Xinchen silently made another note in his heart.
