Strive for Science

"Just seek peace of mind" is just a simple sentence to say, but it is not easy to really do it.

In the long years, Liu Mao has seen many human beings' joys and sorrows.At that time, he lived in the snow-capped mountains. When he was bored, he liked to observe human life. After seeing too many ugliness, it was difficult for him to have too much affection for creatures like humans.

Shen Changan is a bit different. He has many things called "virtues" by humans, he is upright and not pedantic, and even has some lovable shortcomings. Being with such a person makes it easy to feel comfortable. Even looking forward to the life of the day ahead.

He looked at Shen Chang'an in the rearview mirror, and Shen Chang'an was wrapping his coat tightly with his head buried in his head, and even tied a knot on the outside with his sleeve.

Sir is right, this is still a cub.

When he arrived at Dao Nian's house, Shen Changan got off the car and smelled the tempting smell of cumin. He sniffed, and his eyes fell on the grill in the corner and the few people sitting beside the grill.

"It smells so good." Running to Dao Nian and sitting down on the empty stool, Shen Chang'an looked at Uncle Zhao anxiously, "Uncle Zhao, what did you bake, it smells really good."

"This kind of meat is becoming more and more difficult to find. When I went out today, I came across it by accident and brought it back." Uncle Zhao took a few skewers of grilled meat from the grill and handed it to Shen Changan, "Try it Taste, does it suit your appetite?"

Shen Changan took the barbecue and distributed two skewers to Dao Nian.

Dao Nian looked at the oily thing in his hand, and looked expressionlessly at the coat Shen Changan was clutching in his arms: "Put on the clothes."

"If you don't remind me, I'll almost forget it." Shen Changan ate the barbecue in two or three bites, hissing hot, and took out the fried chestnuts that were still warm from his coat, "The fried chestnuts I brought you. "

Dao Nian stared at the two bags of chestnuts without saying a word.

"All right, all right, I know you must have pain in your hand again." Having been friends for several months, Shen Chang'an has seen through Dao Nian's character of never doing anything if he can be lazy. He shared a bag of chestnuts with others, and the rest Slowly peel the next bag for yourself and Dao Nian.

He doesn't like to drink, so Uncle Zhao poured him a homemade drink, and he said with emotion: "Drinks, barbecue and friends, this kind of life is really a life that the gods will not change."

Uncle Zhao was amused by his words: "You have never seen a god, how do you know you don't want to change?"

"Uncle Zhao, I'm just praising your delicious grilled meat. Why do you dismantle your own table?" Shen Chang'an originally wanted to put on the coat that covered the fried chestnuts, but Dao Nian detested this sloppy behavior and let Liu Mao A clean coat was found for him to put on.

Putting the last peeled chestnut into Dao Nian's palm, Shen Chang'an looked at the glowing charcoal fire under the grill, and suddenly said: "The atmosphere is so good today, I will tell you a horror story."

Hearing this sentence, everyone was stunned. Uncle Zhao was the first to react and said with a smile, "Okay, tell me one."

Shen Changan turned his head to look at Dao Nian: "Are you afraid? If you are afraid, I won't talk about it."

"It's okay." Dao Nian didn't seem to see the subtle eyes of everyone, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, so I'm not afraid."

"Oh." Shen Changan took a sip of his drink, "Then I'll tell you a story about online love."

Shen Chang'an is very eloquent. He told a very ordinary story with ups and downs. At the end, even Liu Mao couldn't help asking: "Is the hero's online dating partner a ghost?"

"Guess what?"

Everyone shook their heads: "Say it quickly."

"That night, he got up early on purpose, put on the new clothes his parents had sent him, and made an appointment with the girl in the park. But just as he was about to cross the street, a large truck ran into him."

"My girlfriend, who had been waiting at the entrance of the park, screamed loudly when she saw this scene. But there was no blood or corpse under the wheel. My girlfriend turned her head and saw him standing behind her, and asked with a smile..."

"Do you believe in ghosts?"

"So the real ghost is not the girlfriend, but the male protagonist of the main visual of the story?" Liu Mao suddenly realized, "This story is well written, so that everyone subconsciously ignores all the wrong things about the protagonist, and puts all suspicious eyes on the girlfriend. body."

Shen Changan: "..."

"Don't you guys think this story is scary, especially the last sentence of the hero, isn't it scary for people to imagine?"

"Papa papa." Dao Nian clapped his hands three times expressionlessly, "It's scary, it's scary."

"Ah, yes!" Liu Mao applauded together, "It's too scary, I'm going to sleep with the light on tonight."

"Chang'an, you really have a talent for telling stories." Uncle Zhao put the roasted mushrooms in Shen Chang'an's hands, "Thank you for your hard work, eat more."

Shen Changan: "..."

This kind of picture of encouraging four-year-old children in kindergarten is really not sincere at all, okay?He resentfully ate a piece of mushroom, which made him stick out his tongue again and again.

A glass of drink was handed to his mouth, and he took a sip from Dao Nian's hand, and then looked at Dao Nian moved. Usually, he always poured water for Dao Nian, but he was able to drink Dao Nian's own hand Drinks, it's a huge step forward in their bromance.

At this moment, Shen Changan felt that he was an old father who worked hard to raise his children and was finally rewarded by the children. He was so excited that he baked a few dishes for Dao Nian himself, and then looked at Dao Nian with loving eyes: "My craftsmanship is not so good, but it is very difficult to get rid of it." It’s not as good as Uncle Zhao, but it’s still good, try it.”

Looking at Shen Changan's "tolerant, loving, and gratifying" eyes, Dao Nian was in a very complicated mood. Who is the elder of the two of them?

"Do you want to eat chives?" Shen Chang'an said, "Although this taste is strong, it is delicious when roasted."

"No." After eating in two or three bites, Dao Nian wiped his mouth clean, "Go to bed early at night."

Shen Changan glanced at the time: "You want to sleep? I'll take you up."

Dao Nian glanced at the others: "Go ahead."

Shen Changan said to Uncle Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, help me roast a few more oysters, I'll come down and eat them later."

"Okay." Uncle Zhao agreed with a smile. After the husband left, they could eat more comfortably.

"It's so late, why did you think of asking me to come over for a barbecue?" Shen Changan pushed Dao Nian into the elevator, "But I'm very happy, thank you."

"Like to be lively?" Dao Nian asked.

"That's not true." Shen Changan thought for a while, "Maybe it's the feeling when he likes to be with friends he cares about." These years, he was always worried that criminals would retaliate and hurt the friends around him, so in many things Be careful.

Now that criminal gang has been wiped out, and the atmosphere here in Dao Nian is so good, he finally realizes how comfortable it is to relax and not have to worry about getting involved.

Pushing Dao Nian into the room, Shen Changan walked to the window and found that Dao Nian's room could clearly see all the scenery in the garden.He looked at the noisy crowd downstairs, turned his head to look at Dao Nian who was sitting quietly in a wheelchair, suddenly he couldn't bear to let himself join the excitement, and Liu Dao Nian sat alone in this empty small room.

Daonian noticed Shen Changan's gaze, and turned to look at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Shen Changan shook his head: "Are you sleeping now?"

Dao Nian was even more puzzled: "Is there anything I can help with, or was I wronged at work?"

Shen Changan was stunned, how did Dao Nian divert his thoughts to this?With his force value, who would let him be wronged?

"Not going down?" Dao Nian drove the wheelchair, picked up a book on the bedside and put it on his lap, "Your oysters will be roasted in a while."

"It's okay, let them eat first, I'll sit with you for a while." Shen Changan looked around the room, but there wasn't even a sofa in the room, so he could only stare at the bed.

"Sit." Dao Nian pointed to the bed, "Do you have anything to say?"

"No, I just want to simply sit with you." Shen Changan looked at the empty cabinet, "Are you allergic to pollen?"

Dao Nian shook his head silently.

"I see that the flowers downstairs are blooming beautifully. I'll find a vase tomorrow morning and cut a few for you and put them in your room." Shen Changan looked around the room, "Do you have any flowers you hate?"

"No."

"Then what kind of flowers to cut is up to me."

Dao Nian nodded dispensably.

"What other people did you meet tonight?" Dao Nian asked suddenly as he turned a page of the book.

"What?" Shen Changan was stunned, seeing that Dao Nian didn't seem very interested in the answer to this question, so he said, "I had dinner at Uncle Zhang's downstairs at night, and after receiving a call from Brother Liu, I I rushed over. I met an old lady with limited mobility on the road, and carried her across the road by the way."

"Old lady?" Dao Nian raised his eyebrows, and turned another page of the book, "Go down, I don't need you to accompany me here."

He has long been used to the loneliness of the endless years, and this kind of night is very normal for him.

"Then I'm going down?" Seeing that Dao Nian really didn't seem to need his company, Shen Changan got up and said, "Call me by the window if something happens, I'll come up right away."

Dao Nian glanced at the closed curtains, blinked, and signaled that he understood.

Hearing the sound of Shen Changan's cheerful footsteps going downstairs, Dao Nian continued to read with his head down, and the room finally became quiet.But within five seconds, he put down the book, drove the wheelchair to the bed, reached out and touched the edge of the curtain, and put it back.

When Shen Changan ran downstairs, he saw a white-haired animal that was about to grab the parrot on the bird stand with its claws, and quickly stepped forward to grab the soft flesh on the back of his neck: "This is not edible."

The white-haired four-legged animal was in Shen Changan's hands, shaking its legs and struggling desperately, but it couldn't escape its clutches no matter what.

"What is this?" Shen Changan turned on the light next to him to see this white-haired animal more clearly.

Fox, fox?

He hurriedly held the fox in one hand, and took out his mobile phone with the other to check the relevant information of the fox.

"Strange, the white-haired fox seems to be an arctic fox. Why did it come here?" After finding out that the fox might be a second-class national protected animal, Shen Changan hurried to the yard outside and said to the people who were eating and drinking, " I picked up an arctic fox, what should I do?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing, and the lively atmosphere was strangely quiet for a second. Qiqi turned his head to look at the white-haired fox who was being carried by Shen Changan, with "I have nothing to love" written all over his body.

"This...maybe he ran into the community by accident, why don't you let him go?" Liu Mao glanced at the crowd, and they all looked away, and the atmosphere returned to normal.

"Our side is not the main living area of ​​the arctic fox, is it?" Shen Changan glanced at the fluffy fox, "Just release it like this, what if it is hit by a car and captured by bad guys, we should call the police. "

Loveless white-haired beard:? !

Everyone: "..."

"Mr. Shen is right." Liu Mao nodded and said, "I will arrange for someone to send it to the police station. The police are busy with work. We must minimize the workload of the police officers."

"That's right." Shen Changan handed the fox to Liu Mao, "Then I will trouble Brother Liu."

After thinking about it, he lowered his head and glanced at a certain part of the fox's abdomen, and reached out to stroke the hair on its head: "It turns out that he is still a boy, so don't run around in the future."

Hu Ming: Shen Changan, you bastard, did you hear that, you are a bastard.

"He barks so loudly, is he scared?" Shen Changan saw the fox suddenly squeaked and his four legs were still kicking, "Hungry?"

"I think it may have eaten too much, otherwise it would run around and bark." Liu Mao looked down at the white fox with a smile, and said softly, "Be quiet."

Hu Ming: "..."

After someone drove the white-haired fox away, Shen Changan washed his hands and continued to sit by the grill, eating oysters grilled by Uncle Zhao, and discussing with everyone as he ate how the white-haired fox got here.

"Fortunately, I found it. This fox has such a good fur. It would be a disaster if it was captured and peeled to make a scarf." Shen Changan joked, "There are often plots of white foxes repaying favors in TV dramas. I don't know what will happen tomorrow." When I wake up in the morning, will there be a pile of gold and silver treasures beside my bed?"

"Mr. Shen, we must believe in science." Liu Mao put a few scallops into Shen Chang'an's bowl, "There are no demons in this world."

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously." When Shen Changan lowered his head to eat scallops, he raised his head to look in the direction of the room where Dao Nian was.

When he met Dao Nian's eyes, he froze for a moment, got up and picked up a large pile of grilled skewers on a large plate, and ran upstairs with an empty plate.

Everyone looked at the empty grill, and then looked up at the window of the room where the husband lived. The curtains there were tightly drawn, and the curtains shook slightly in the night wind.

Half a minute later, Dao Nian looked at Chang An who was panting and standing in front of his door, and said expressionlessly, "Why are you here again?"

"I want to eat with you." Shen Changan put the skewers on the table, went back to his room and dragged a lazy sofa over, "I can't eat well without you here."

Dao Nian turned his head a little uncomfortably, how can someone in his 20s still... still be so clingy?

Forget it, I already took his key, so I can only rely on him.

Seeing that Dao Nian looked awkward, but he didn't seem to let him go, Shen Chang'an knew that he still liked to get along with people very much, probably because he was alone for too long, so he became less and less communicative with people.

"Garlic scallops, my favorite." Shen Changan counted the number of scallops in the bowl, and there were only five in total. "I have three, and you will share two."

Dao Nian took away the third scallop expressionlessly.

"Hey!" Shen Changan stared at the scallop that had been snatched away, "Can't you just let me in because I'm younger than you?"

"Respect the elderly." Dao Nian calmly put the scallops on the plate.

"You're not old." Shen Changan snorted, "You don't love children yet."

Dao Nian looked at Shen Chang'an seriously: "I'm very old."

Shen Changan: "..."

For a scallop, to say that you are old, what kind of courage is this?Just now he said he didn't want to eat and wanted to go back to his room to rest, he was really a duplicity man.

Outside the room door, Liu Mao, who was carrying a plate of scallops, listened to the movement in the room, turned around and went downstairs quietly. When passing by the bird rack, he gave two to the parrot Feiying: "The top-quality scallops raised by the Dragon Clan in the East China Sea are cheap for you." .”

Fei Ying didn't want to lose face either, she pecked at the scallops and thanked her: "Where did that idiot Hu Ming get sent?"

"Probably the police station." Liu Mao distributed some other things to Fei Ying, with a calm expression, without the kind face in front of Shen Chang'an, "A disobedient pet, what use is it other than being sent away."

Fei Ying stopped pecking and looked up at Liu Mao.

Liu Mao laughed softly: "Mr. Shen likes well-behaved little pets, you are very good."

Fei Ying continued to eat with her head down, anyway, she just wanted to please Mr. Shen.In this way, she is quite like a pet who relies on her nepotism.

For the next two days, Shen Changan was deeply immersed in Dao Nian's food and couldn't extricate himself. Except for going to work, he ate and drank here at Dao Nian. Calling him personally, he knocked on the door of Uncle Zhang's house with a guilty conscience when he got off work at noon.

"Dad, you finally came back to save the child."

As soon as the door was opened, a phantom rushed over, and the otaku ghost hugged Shen Changan's thigh: "I want to drink Coke, eat barbecue, and eat French fries."

"Get up, don't call daddy." Shen Changan handed the food in his hand to the otaku ghost, walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Hey, who is this, does it look familiar?" Uncle Zhang looked at Shen Chang'an with raised eyebrows, and said in a sarcasm, "It looks like a missing person living upstairs in my house."

Shen Changan: "..."

"Uncle, you are my uncle." Shen Changan was very afraid of Uncle Zhang's ability to ridicule, so he smiled embarrassedly, "Isn't it because my friend's house is too comfortable?"

Uncle Zhang wanted to ridicule, but luckily the other party was not a woman, otherwise Shen Changan would definitely marry him without hesitation, but thinking that Shen Changan, an unknown friend, might be a big boss who couldn't afford to offend, Uncle Zhang wisely didn't say it.

As a practitioner, the most important thing is to be able to bend and stretch. Should I be cowardly?People who are stubborn and incompetent are prone to die quickly.

"I asked you to come here today, one reason is to let you get some food to gag him." Uncle Zhang pointed to the otaku ghost sitting on the sofa eating, "Another thing is that people from our Metaphysics Association discovered that , The yellow-robed Taoist priest you mentioned is called Ting Zheng, who is a disciple of a downgraded Taoist temple master, but yesterday the Taoist temple has publicly announced that Ting Zheng will be removed from the Taoist temple and his Taoist certificate will be revoked."

"Ting Zheng attaches great importance to false fame. In recent years, he has made a lot of money by showing people Fengshui, catching ghosts, and fortune-telling. He is also praised by some rich and entertainers. No one here in Wuming City invites him to do things. He decided to come here suddenly. On the day before his trip, he had no contact with any suspicious person."

Shen Changan frowned: "Could it be that the person behind the scenes knows the invisibility technique?"

Uncle Zhang sighed, and looked at Shen Changan regretfully: "You are a graduate of a prestigious school. Invisibility is just a hypnosis to deceive the naked eye, making your brain temporarily forget the existence of this person. But this so-called The invisibility technique, under the monitoring equipment, cannot be hidden."

In Uncle Zhang's eyes of "I thought you had a brain, but I didn't think you didn't", Shen Chang'an wanted to say that the monitor couldn't catch ghosts, but he was afraid that if he said it, Uncle Zhang would take off his slippers and shoot his brain , So he said: "Is it possible that a computer expert has changed the surveillance video?"

"There is a member of our association who is a very powerful computer expert. He has already checked the surveillance video, and there is no trace of artificial modification." Uncle Zhang added, "I also checked it with magic methods, except for Ting Zheng. ghost, and no other ghosts have ever entered his personal space."

"Huh?" Shen Changan asked in surprise, "Monks and priests also have computer skills?"

"Why, what a surprise?" Uncle Zhang proudly said, "If you want to join our Metaphysics Association, Yan Yin and I can be your recommenders. In our association, there are people from all walks of life. As long as you join our association, It will open the door to a new world.”

"I think I am a traditional and conservative man, and I don't really want to open the door to the new world." Shen Changan immediately refused.

"Amitabha." Yan Yin looked at Shen Chang'an with tolerant eyes, "Shen Benefactor, I find that you seem to be particularly repulsed by this aspect of things, why?"

Unexpectedly, Master Yan Yin would say this suddenly, Shen Changan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's okay, I should go to work, if there is any new discovery, I will let you know in time."

Seeing the back of Shen Changan leaving in a hurry, Uncle Zhang glared at Yan Yin: "Look, you are talking to death."

Yan Yin shook his head: "Benefactor Shen has a knot in his heart. If he can't solve it, he will never be able to accept our metaphysics circle."

"If there is a knot, there will be a knot, why must he accept something?" The otaku ghost sitting on the sofa raised his head, "Although he is not willing to join your metaphysics circle, but your metaphysics circle has something to do, and he didn't stand by. Everyone has their own living habits and persistence, if you don’t force or disturb, life will become better.”

For example, he feels that he can't become a big shot in this life, but he doesn't have to compete with others during his lifetime, and it's good to have big shots to feed him food after death.

Yan Yin and Uncle Zhang were stunned, and they all turned to look at the otaku ghost.

Being stared at by two big figures in the metaphysics world, the otaku ghost was a little nervous, and quickly took a sip of Coke to calm his shock: "A few days ago, the boss said that Master Yan Yin had a picture, and I think he is right. No matter what he is No matter who you are, what kind of circle you are in, as long as he is willing to help you, it will be fine, why do you have to pull circles? Everyone is a citizen of the same country, and they are all working hard for the prosperity of the motherland."

Yan Yin and Uncle Zhang: "..."

It seems... makes sense?

"Huh?" Shen Changan couldn't help shaking while driving, his back was a little cold, could it be that he didn't wear less clothes today?

Back in the office, he flipped through the newspapers and found that the matter of sending the white fox to the police station had already been published in the local newspaper.He pulled out the newspaper and said to his colleagues: "My friends are in the newspaper, and I want to take this newspaper back to show them."

Colleagues expressed no objection one after another, Shen Changan folded the newspaper carefully and put it in his coat.

It is also something to be happy and memorable when you do something good and get published in the newspaper.

The author has something to say: Hu Ming, the fox demon: Shen Chang'an, I'm knocking a mud horse!
