Tree Head (End)
"Will my meeting with him cause any adverse effects?" For example, cross-infection could worsen the condition.
"He's already in there, so it won't have much of an impact."
After knocking three times, the two men consciously stepped aside and waited for the sound of dragging footsteps to fade away.
With his hair uncombed and his face unwashed, Yang Jie, whose home was thousands of miles away, really couldn't guess who else would come except □□, but □□ had just been here last week.
Even the only backup candidate was eliminated. Er Zhang was confused and called out from the door, "Who is it?"
"Hello."
The voice seems familiar, I seem to have heard it not long ago...
Oh my god! The nightmare has come true!
A slap on the thigh made my brain, which had just woken up, suddenly clear its mind. The only thing that was widely circulated was "dreams come true". It seemed that I was really unlucky.
But he was a man of quality, and his modern moral qualities outweighed the old-fashioned and unlucky words, so before Yin Sui outside the door could organize his words and find the right words to introduce himself, the door opened a crack.
That’s right, it’s the mysophobia girl who wiped the axe last night.
In broad daylight, the two men were neatly dressed and had extraordinary temperament. They were completely out of place in the old and dilapidated house, and looked like the bewitching monsters in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
I may still be dreaming about European and American slasher films mixed with Chinese-style monsters.
Then the monster in the dream spoke: "Excuse me, what do you need?"
Yang Jie said nothing and just kept the door closed.
Seeing the door closed again, Yin Sui and Ji Xunjin, who had just put down his phone, looked at each other.
"Can you give me a chance to thank you for your help last night? Or, I won't bother you anymore."
"What do you want...a house?"
Back then, I traveled thousands of miles to the big city with lots of bags on my back, thinking that I was a steed that could travel a thousand miles. However, I was not well fed, lacked strength, and my talent and beauty were not visible. When I was kicked out because of the bad environment, I realized that I was actually a dullard. I threw away my inner wishes and worked like a slave with a lot of anger, but I still couldn't do my job well.
These days, he lay in bed without food, and every time he looked into the distance, he became more aware that there was no distance. As he looked, he would turn his head and face the past:
In the simple little bungalow, the ambitious young man who is about to go out to work makes a big promise to his parents, saying that when he earns money, he will buy a house and take them in to enjoy a good life.
As a result, every penny earned is spent, and it is hard to say whether all the money you have can buy a toilet.
What can the small rental house contain? It is filled with years of sighs and complaints.
He didn't buy a house and the rent was expensive. After losing his job, he had already prepared to go home to work in disgrace, but he was not prepared to go home in disgrace. The prerequisites were not met, and he kept putting it off until almost next month.
If you have a house, at least you don’t have to worry.
Damn it, I really haven't woken up yet. I dare to say anything. With the current housing prices in the city, you can't say such abrupt nonsense even to a real monster.
"I'm just kidding, haha, why don't you just go away, or I won't bother you anymore."
"I'm a little short of money. How about renting it for a few years?"
Yinsui thought about it sincerely. She didn't have much money to spend on a regular basis, so she didn't care much about the specific amount of her savings. She estimated that it would be far from enough to buy a house, but it would be more than enough to help rent a bigger one.
Seeing no reply from inside, she added: "It may not be enough later...you can inherit the property after I die." It is very likely that it can be realized in her lifetime.
"That's not necessary."
The two people who had been silent before almost spoke up at the same time when they heard this.
Yang Jie really showed up, because he opened the door and leaned out, while Ji Xunjin raised his head.
"Anyway, I won't need the money now, and I definitely won't need it when I die."
"I have a house, so I don't really need to think too far ahead."
I think of it because I feel it is not far away.
Yin Sui remained noncommittal and said confidently, "If you lend me money, I'll be a deadbeat."
"Just take charge first. It's better to be able to breathe than not to be able to."
Yang Jie was shocked and even more shocked by this sudden turn of events: "I really am kidding."
"I have a lot of houses, you can live in any of them. Okay, the mission is completed, we can call it a day." The last sentence was said to Yinsui.
"I owe a debt and don't pay it back."
"I forgive you in advance. Don't worry, I won't sue you in court and make you a restricted traveler. After all, we may have to travel together in the future."
She pointed at the people around her and said to Yang Jie, "His house should be better. Do you want one?"
"I……"
"You're welcome. Let's go have dinner first because I'm hungry. Someone else will take care of the rest of the formalities."
"Bye." Wave goodbye.
When I walked downstairs to the community, the sun was shining brightly and there was no sign of nightfall. Of course, it was only four o'clock.
But he said that if you are hungry, then you are hungry, and it doesn’t matter when you eat.
On the top floor of a building that is particularly tall among the city's skyscrapers, many wealthy, idle and well-dressed people were led to their seats. Young waiters with light steps pushed dessert carts around. The sweet scent of expensive perfume, bread and cream filled the medium-sized space. After taking a few steps, you felt like you were covered with flowers and icing sugar.
Yin Sui, who was not interested in the fragrant atmosphere, absentmindedly turned the porcelain spoon between his fingers, and the fragments of the sun swayed and flickered in it.
Ji Xunjin, who was locating his phone, didn't seem to be very focused. He started scrolling on the screen as soon as he sat down.
The waiter poured tea and slowly introduced the name and origin of each dim sum. More than ten minutes passed, but the customer he was serving didn't hear a word he said.
"It seems a bit of a waste. In fact, I can only taste a little sweet and very sweet."
“Just have fun.”
Apparently noticing the guests weren't particularly interested in the food, the onlooker changed the subject, inviting them to admire the view. "Our observation deck offers a panoramic view of the city, perfect for taking photos. The vibrant flowers that serve as backdrops are flown in daily to ensure freshness. Whether looking down at the night view or gazing at the surrounding flora, it's truly relaxing. Many guests leave by mentioning how relaxed and refreshed they felt during their meal."
“…”
Having been close to nature since childhood among the truly native wild grasses and trees, Yinsui felt a little aggrieved when he saw the flowers that had gone through many stages of careful cultivation being placed in expensive vases.
Ji Xunjin politely asked the waiter to step aside for a moment. He understood something from her expression and said with a smile, "You've done more harm than good. I should have asked Sister Liu to take you with her when she left. Seeing the vast plateau with cattle and sheep everywhere is really relaxing."
"I don't want to go either. I'm tired of traveling so far."
Thinking he was acting on his own initiative again, he smiled, stood up, paid the bill and left.
The dinner they had booked was cancelled, so the two of them drove back from the bustling city center with everything they needed to a remote old house to cook a self-heating hot pot.
"I'm sorry, my words tend to disturb other people's enjoyment."
"You said it yourself, being disturbed is other people's business. Just be happy, really, choose things that make you happy. Besides, I don't really want to be in a crowd. Staying at home suits me better. It's normal for me not to go out for a month."
I have explained more in the past few days than in the previous six months combined.
“Tomato flavor.”
"good."
The girl on the sofa fell limply to one side and could wriggle away in the next second.
Each monkey has its own way of tying up. Ji Xunjin smiled sincerely and thought to himself, "Okay, I'll explain it for a while, so she won't have to go through the trouble of digging up the past and turning it upside down. It will make her feel less burdened."
Neither of us is the type who likes to join in the fun and needs to be surrounded by people to regain our energy. We just hit it off and live a leisurely life on our own.
The tip of the chopsticks held the lotus root slices, emitting a wisp of white smoke. Yin Sui was about to withdraw his hand after the vegetables cooked in boiling water had cooled down, but was interrupted by a sentence.
"It's been tested there. It's a new pollutant. The effect is sad."
In the photo, only a small red area of the entire tree was captured, and it is likely that the infection is mainly inside.
She showed no emotion after reading it, and put the slightly cold lotus root slices into her mouth and chewed them.
"Sold it? Put it on an online platform for others to buy it."
"I have no objection." At least I can earn some money to pay off my debts.
He operated the electronic platform for her and clicked on the information interface: "What name?"
"Sad wood."
Clear at a glance.
After filling in the form, Yinsui took a quick look and saw that under his own wood was an auction item called "Wang Jinxiu 162". In contrast, the photo was blurry and the name was very abstract.
"Wang Jin, Sleeve."
"Wang Jinxiu is a person's name. Her surname is Wang and her given name is Jinxiu. She was too lazy to name the things she threw there, so she just called them by their names."
Number 162?!
It took three spaces to find two infected objects. Their efficiency is comparable to excavating an ancient tomb.
