Strive for Science

The deputy store manager of the Bainian Haohe store is a part-time flower delivery brother, and he has been a little depressed recently.Because Mr. Shen, who is keen to give friends flowers such as sunflowers, gladioli, and calla lilies, which represent friendship, seems to be dissatisfied with the types of flowers in their store and wants to patronize other stores.

In order to keep this customer, he and his fiancée tried their best, even used the [-] flower arrangement art, which finally forced him to give up the idea of ​​changing the store.

November has passed without knowing it, and more than half of December has passed quickly. During this month, the flower delivery boy's opinion of Shen Chang'an has undergone a qualitative leap from bad to good.

Sometimes when the best and freshest flowers came to their store, he would call Shen Changan first to ask if he would like to prepare a copy for him, and he only charged a friendly price.

"Don't send flowers on the two days of Christmas." One morning in mid-to-late December, the flower delivery boy saw Shen Changan came to order flowers again, and couldn't help but said, "The flowers in those days were very expensive and the quality was not good enough. It must be the best, not cost-effective. Anyway, you are giving it to a friend, not a lover."

The flower delivery boy didn't quite understand the complex emotional entanglement between Shen Changan and that Mr. Nian. He thought that Mr. Nian would be angry and refuse to accept the flowers because of Shen Changan's polite refusal, but he never knew that the other party would accept them every time.

He thought that Mr. Shen would send flowers just to reject Mr. Nian's wishes, but he didn't expect Mr. Shen to send flowers every now and then, and he had persisted for more than a month.And judging from his appearance, it doesn't seem like he has any disgust towards Mr. Nian, but he sincerely thinks that Mr. Nian likes those flowers so he gave them to him.

Mess, it's so messy, it's so messy that people can't see clearly.The emotional world in your circle really makes ordinary people look up to them.

"It's okay." Shen Chang'an smiled, "Christmas only happens once a year, and the more expensive it is, the more expensive it will be."

"Isn't it nice of you to treat your friend like this?"

"Because he treats me better." Shen Changan skillfully took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay, "It's better to send it to the old place, it's troublesome, Brother Ming."

"It should be." The flower delivery boy had a Ming character in his name, so after the two got acquainted, Shen Changan called him Brother Ming.

According to Brother Ming, he and his fiancée lived in the countryside. They had saved some money by going out to work over the years, so they rented a shop to do flower business.The two open their shop early every day and close late every day. They are enthusiastic about customers and endure hardships. Gradually, the business is getting better and better. The biggest dream of the two is to buy a house in the city so that their children can live well in the future. kindergartens and primary schools.

The two were planning to get married before the Spring Festival, and they also invited Shen Changan.

Shen Changan took the [-]% discount card given to him by the shop owner, agreed on the spot, and finally took on the responsibility of best man.

Seeing that Shen Changan had made up his mind to order flowers on Christmas Day, the flower delivery boy stopped persuading him, and he typed up the charge sheet, and asked Shen Changan to come again next time.

I don’t know if it’s because Christmas is approaching, but the civil service department is getting more and more busy. One day I help this department catch escaped animals, the next day I help that department do propaganda against crimes, and the day after tomorrow I have to help the security department patrol.

In the past few days, a rumor came from nowhere in Wuming City, saying that someone dug up a zombie in the ground, and this zombie escaped secretly while no one was paying attention.

There are countless rumors about zombies. Some say that zombies are afraid of the sun, and some say that zombies are not afraid of the sun and garlic. If they are bitten by zombies, they will turn into zombies. The most frightening theory is that zombies can disguise themselves as ordinary people. When others are not paying attention, they bite their necks to suck blood.

Shen Changan felt that these rumors were quite a combination of Chinese and Western, combining the advantages and disadvantages of zombies and vampires.

"When I opened Moments, there were rumors about zombies everywhere. I refuted the rumors among my relatives, but I was besieged by my seven aunts and eight aunts. They said that I would rather believe it or not. My mother also said that I would go to the temple. Please ask me for a talisman here." Chen Panpan lay on the table, weakly revising the propaganda draft, "It's really a mouthful to spread rumors, and it's a waste of time to refute the rumors. The work of these two days has been wasted."

"In the past few days, the temples and Taoist temples have been full of incense, and those messy liars who claim to be fairy ladies and half-immortals have come out, saying that they have talisman papers to restrain zombies, and talismans are only given to people who are destined, etc." Ding Yang grasped it. The scammers’ information was released into the mailboxes of several colleagues, “Some old men and women in their seventies and eighties don’t have a lot of money on them. Those scammers cheat this kind of money for use, can they have a good conscience?”

"How can a conscientious person be a liar." Xu Ze clicked on the information sent by Ding Yang, "In the past few days, the public security organs will catch a few of the most famous liars, and let the common people know that these people have no ability to get angry. , what we have to do is to cooperate with their work.”

"I divided Wuming City into four districts, and each of us is in charge of one district. Do you have any comments?" Xu Ze sent everyone the areas they were responsible for.

"I'm OK."

"no problem."

"I'm fine." Shen Changan looked at the area he was in charge of. The community where Dao Nian lived was also divided into this area.

Is this a coincidence, or did Xu Ze take care of it on purpose?

Seeing that no one had any objections, Xu Ze said sadly, "Then arrange it like this. We may have to work overtime again these few days."

"The civilian service department is for the people." Ding Yang yawned, "It doesn't matter if you are busy these days, as long as you have time to rest on New Year's Day."

"Chang'an, what are your plans for New Year's Day?" Ding Yang turned his head and asked Shen Chang'an, "If not, let's go out to barbecue together on New Year's Day."

"No, I have an appointment to go to the provincial capital with my friends on New Year's Day." Shen Changan got up and got himself a glass of water, wishing you all a good time in advance. "

"That good friend of yours again?" Ding Yang asked with a smile.

"En." Shen Changan nodded, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's fine." Ding Yang felt that talking too much at any time would be annoying, and he didn't want to be such a person.

"Oh." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shen Changan lowered his head and picked up the teacup, continuing to drink water.

Xu Ze looked up at the two of them, then buried his head back.

In order to do a good job in dispelling rumors about zombies, the entire civil service department was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. Even Director Du, who usually doesn't like to use computers, was using "One Finger Zen" to type on the keyboard.

When Shen Changan got off work at night, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

He drove over in the morning, so he didn't ask Shen Tu and the others to pick him up, and drove back slowly by himself.

The weather is getting colder, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians walking outside at night, and many shops have closed their doors.When passing through the century-old Haohe flower shop, I saw the front door of the flower shop was wide open, and two pots of hanging baskets fell on the door, which seemed a little strange.

After turning off the car, Shen Changan cautiously approached the door of the flower shop, and when he heard a thin sound coming from inside, he looked down and put the broken flower pot tiles into his coat: "Is anyone there? "

"Where is the boss, is he not doing business with the door open?"

"What's the matter?" A man in a black down jacket came out of the small utility room inside the flower shop. He was a very strange man.

"What else can I do, isn't it just to buy flowers?" Shen Chang'an shook his legs, looking angry, "I had a fight with the wife at home, she kicked me out, and wouldn't let me in, and didn't want to buy something Go back and coax her, I may have to freeze outside all night."

The man frowned, then looked at the flowers in the shop again: "What do you want?"

"Just choose a few red roses. You see, your flowers are a little bit rolled up, so sell them cheaper." Shen Changan took out dozens of dollars from his body, "I brought so much money when I came out, how many can you buy?" Flowers?"

The man casually picked out a few roses and gave them to Shen Changan: "Take it."

He hurriedly let Shen Changan leave.

"Aren't you going to wrap it up for me?" Shen Changan pointed to the sample bouquets displayed in the store to attract customers, "It looks so pretty like this."

With a sullen face, the man took a bouquet of sample flowers and stuffed them into Shen Chang'an's arms: "Take it away."

"Why is this so embarrassing?" He said he was embarrassed, but his face revealed a look of greed.

A look of contempt appeared in the man's eyes, but it disappeared quickly: "It's okay, anyway, this store will be closed tomorrow, you can use it to coax your wife. Is it a man who is afraid of women being like this? ?”

"It's not ashamed to be afraid of your wife." Shen Changan turned around and walked out with the flowers in his arms. When he reached the door, he turned and stopped the man who was about to go back to the utility room, "By the way, boss, you spend so much in the store, you won't do it tomorrow." Business, what to do with these flowers?"

"What else can I do, give it away." Seeing that Shen Changan still hasn't left, the man showed an impatient expression on his face, "If you still want it, just take another handful. It's too late, I'm going to close the store for a rest .”

"Then wait for me, I'll put this bunch of flowers on the car first, and then bring the other one." Shen Changan chuckled, "Boss, you are really generous."

The man sneered, and when he walked to the door of the store, he saw Shen Changan's car parked across the road, so he walked back to the utility room, looked at the young man and woman tied together by him in the corner, and said with a smile: "How about it, knowing that There are people just across the wall, but you can only watch them leave, and then quietly wait for death, isn’t it very hopeless?”

The shop manager and Brother Ming, who were gagged and tightly bound, could only stare at this crazy man with wide eyes.

"It's such a beautiful feeling to see a living life heading towards a terrifying death..." Before the man's emotional expression was over, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

The distorted smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he put his index finger to his mouth: "Shh, let your hearts be quiet, and listen to how the last hope left with a greedy heart."

When the man came out, he saw that Shen Changan was holding two large bouquets of flowers in his hands. The bouquets were too big, and it seemed a bit difficult for him to hold two bouquets at the same time without any help.

Seeing the man coming out, he shyly put down one of the bouquets: "I just... just want to hug how heavy this flower is."

"Okay." The man said impatiently, "Go away after you take the things, don't bother me."

Shen Chang'an hugged the flower and turned around to leave. Just when the man thought he would never come back and was about to slowly torture the two locked in the utility room, Shen Chang'an came back again.

The man's face was gloomy, and he could hardly hide his madness.

He wanted to kill the guy who got in the way.

"I'm still a little embarrassed to have taken so many flowers from you. This is a gift." Shen Changan put a bag of souvenirs on the table. It was a box of toothpaste and low-quality towels given to passers-by when a supermarket opened.

The man walked to the counter, his hands shaking slightly as he touched the drawer.

He couldn't control his desire to hurt others, he wanted the long-winded and greedy man in front of him to disappear from this world.

It's a pity that this good skin, looks so good-looking, but doesn't have a heart that makes people feel like it.

Only sincere people are most beautiful when they are in despair.

Shen Changan put down his things, turned around and walked outside, when he reached the door, he suddenly screamed: "Ah, boss, there is a person lying outside your house, it seems that he is still bleeding."

How can it be?

He had just looked at the door just now, and there was nothing.

The man walked to the door with a sullen face, but he didn't expect that there was actually a person lying there. He narrowed his eyes, turned to Shen Chang'an and said, "Leave this to me, and you can go back with flowers to make your wife happy."

After speaking, he bent down and looked at the person lying on the ground, as if he wanted to determine whether the person was dead or alive.

In the midst of the flashes of lightning, the man lying on the ground suddenly jumped up, a scissor leg locked the man's neck, and several people rushed out of the darkness.

"Police, don't move!"

The man struggled crazily, he couldn't believe that he would be caught by the stupid police, it's impossible!When the cold handcuffs were put on his wrist, he suddenly broke down and cried.

"Why are you crying? The ones who really should cry are the victims tied up by you." The police rescued the shopkeeper and brother Ming who were tied up in the utility room, and the two thanked the police continuously.

"This time, there are enthusiastic people who found something wrong in the store and fought wits and courage with the gangsters, delaying time until we come to rescue you."

When he heard the police mention "enthusiastic people", Brother Ming knew that the person who found something wrong in the store must be Mr. Shen.When he heard Mr. Shen pretending not to have been to this store in the utility room just now, and lied that he was kicked out of the house by his wife, he knew that Mr. Shen must have discovered that something happened in the store.

The two thanked Shen Chang'an frequently, and planned to repay their favor financially, but no matter what they said, Mr. Shen just didn't nod.In desperation, the shopkeeper had no choice but to say: "Mr. Shen, we have nothing to repay for your life-saving grace. From now on, we will send two bouquets of flowers representing friendship to Mr. Nian every week without charging any fees."

"That's good." Shen Changan was worried that if he didn't accept it, the couple would feel uneasy, so he simply agreed.

"There are zombies!"

The man detained by the police suddenly pointed to a dark corner of the street, "There are zombies there!"

As soon as the words fell, the man heard a scream, and a black shadow flew towards this side like a sharp arrow.The target of Sombra is Yao Huailin who is giving a lecture to the man.

He deliberately delayed the time tonight, just to wait for Yao Huailin and the others to rush over.He couldn't tell if there were other weapons on the man, let alone what was going on with the couple, so calling the police was the best way.

When the black shadow rushed over, Shen Changan's mind was still in a daze, he looked up and saw something rushing towards Yao Huailin, he subconsciously stretched out his foot and kicked it.

Only Hei Ying screamed, and then fell to the ground.

Is this the legendary zombie?

Everyone looked at the "man" lying on the ground. His skin was a little blue, and his limbs looked a little stiff, but his speed was unexpectedly fast.

Yao Huailin thought with lingering fear, if Shen Changan hadn't stopped him just now, maybe he was really attacked by this strange person.

"Thank you." Yao Huailin thanked Shen Changan.

"No need." Shen Changan waved his hand, stepped on this strange man's back, and said to the policeman who was going to touch him, "Don't touch him for now, I'm worried that he may have an infectious disease." After finishing speaking, he took Out of the phone and dialed a number.

Yao Huailin frowned when he heard the words, and said to the other policemen: "You guys watch out for this gangster, I'll go over there."

"Team Yao!"

"How can I let you go."

"No, we brothers must not watch you die."

After Shen Changan made the phone call, he turned around and saw Yao Huailin and a few policemen with red eyes, as if they had experienced a major farewell in their life.

"What are you guys doing? It's not a drama about life and death." Shen Changan didn't let other people touch this strange person, "I just contacted a friend who knows something about this strange disease. Let's talk about it when he comes over."

"Okay." Yao Huailin looked at the strange man who was trampled so hard by Shen Changan that he could not struggle on the ground, took out a pack of cigarettes for everyone, and took a deep breath. If this thing is the zombie that the common people have rumored recently, he must let the strange man be arrested. The law can be regarded as a reassurance for the common people who are in a state of panic.

Shen Tu rushed over very quickly, he saw Shen Chang'an stepping on a mess of dirty things from a distance, he frowned, and walked to Shen Chang'an, "Chang'an, why did you catch such a thing? Son?"

"Cough." Shen Changan coughed dryly, and introduced Shen Tu's identity to Yao Huailin and the others.

Shen Tu: "..."

He has a lot of knowledge and has dabbled in strange diseases. Does this mean him?

He is a door god, why should he be interested in strange diseases?

"Shen Tu." Shen Changan asked Shen Tu in a low voice, "Is this under my feet a person or something else?"

"For the time being, it's a human being, but I think if you step on it like this, you may become a ghost." Shen Tu glanced at it, and knew what was going on with this person, "There is a kind of living person who doesn't want to work hard. Just thinking about the things in the tombs of the dead. Who knows what strange things will grow out of those tombs that have been sleeping in the mud for hundreds or even thousands of years?"

"so……"

"He was infected by the germs in the cemetery. Don't worry, he is not infected." Shen Tu raised his voice, reassuring the police, and pulled Shen Changan away from the strange man, "This kind of grave robber Thief, cursed by the tomb."

"If a person is dead, can he still curse?" Shen Changan was surprised, "Didn't it mean that death is like a lamp going out?"

"Then animals can turn into humans, is it scientific?" Shen Tu asked back.

"Sorry, I offended you." Shen Changan quickly apologized when he thought that Shen Tu was also a monster transformed from animals or plants.

Shen Tu: Huh?

What's the matter with him?

"When I came out just now, my husband told me that if I make the way, I will go back with you." Seeing that the police took the wounded and victims away, Shen Tu said to Shen Chang'an, "You said you You are such a big person, you can fight, eat and dance, and you still have the golden light of merit on your body, who can hurt you? Mister is always worried about this, worried about that, alas. To be honest, a person like you walks at night It's all a kind of harm to ghosts."

Speaking of ghosts...

Shen Chang'an suddenly remembered that it seemed that he hadn't fed Chen Yuan, the nerd ghost, for a while. Should he find some time to buy some delicious food?

Shen Chang'an returned home with Shen Tu, and he just went upstairs lightly when he saw the door of Dao Nian's room opened.

"Are you back?" Dao Nian stood behind the door neatly dressed, obviously not sleeping yet.

"Dao Nian, it's so late, you haven't slept yet?" Shen Changan stood up straight with his bowed waist, "I heard that going to bed early is good for the development of bones, your legs are just right, maybe going to bed early can make your legs look better. Stronger."

"Can't sleep." Dao Nian glanced at him, Chang An seemed to have a faint smell of an ancient tomb, and there were... signs of disrupting the rules.

He secretly calculated in his heart, with a subtle expression on his face.

The unmarried couple that Shen Changan rescued today, according to the destined trajectory, was going to die at the hands of a perverted murderer, and the murderer couldn't control his distorted hobbies even more because of his torture and killing of them, and killed many innocent old people with children.The couple suffered all kinds of tortures before their death. After death, their resentment was overwhelming, coupled with the corpse aura from the ancient tomb, they turned into evil spirits in the end.

And that policeman would also have his neck bitten off by the irrational tomb robber, and died on the spot.

Since then, there have been frequent deaths near that flower shop, and then...

Then all kinds of grievances condensed together, allowing the ancient beasts to be reborn, which eventually led to the deaths of many people and social turmoil.

However, at the very beginning of this matter, Shen Changan met.The lives of the unmarried couple were saved, and because of Shen Changan's courageous behavior, he felt that there are still many good people in the world. After becoming middle-aged and prosperous, they have done a lot of charity to give back to the society.

The perverted killer was stopped during the first murder, and was finally locked up in a special psychiatric hospital.

Not to mention that policeman named Yao Huailin, he will become a very powerful policeman with a sense of justice in the future.

But if he hadn't suddenly bought a bouquet of red roses for Chang'an, Chang'an would not have known the couple. Perhaps when he drove past this flower shop, he would not have noticed the abnormality of the flower shop at all.

All this seems to have happened because of him, and because of Shen Changan, he was redeemed.

So, it was him, the Dao of Heaven, who subconsciously poured water into the Dao of Vitality?

"Dao Nian, what's the matter with you?" Shen Chang'an felt that Dao Nian's expression was a little strange.

"It's okay." Dao Nian shook his head, "Go to bed early."

Shen Changan understood that Daonian stayed up so late because he was waiting for him to come back.

After living in Dao Nian's house, he seemed to have gradually gotten used to it. When he came home at night, there were people waiting, and when he went out in the morning, some people worried whether he would have a good breakfast.

"If I come back late in the future, don't wait for me anymore." Shen Changan sighed, "Staying up late is not good for your health."

Dao Nian looked at him with bottomless eyes, as if he was asking, how could he have the nerve to say this when he often stays up late?

Shen Changan lowered his head in desperation, and ran to his room.

"Chang'an." Dao Nian stopped him.

Shen Changan turned his head and looked at Dao Nian standing in the glow: "Huh?"

"No matter where you go, as long as you come back, I will leave a lamp for you." Dao Nian looked at him with a very calm expression, and his tone was not deliberately serious, but Shen Changan felt that Dao Nian said this sentence When speaking, be very serious.

"It's just staying up all night for you, it's worth it."

The author has something to say: Dao Nian: A hard-working love talk old boy
