Shen Shi'an has lived with his grandparents for nearly six years. Under the influence of the elderly, he has developed a very healthy living habit and a very regular biological clock. Every morning at six o'clock, he must open his eyes before the alarm clock rings.
But things seem a little different today.
After falling asleep with Xiao Hei, Shen Shi'an didn't dream again, but in a daze he always felt that he had forgotten something important. The unknown confusion floated up and down in the subconscious mind until it finally became clear in the early hours of the morning:
He forgot that Xiao Hei needed to pee and shit.
"The dog may have already defecated in a corner of the house or even by his pillow", Shen Shi'an was startled by the thought that he sat up from the bed with a "bass", his back was covered with cold sweat, he turned his head suddenly, his gaze was like a sharp sword Stabbing at Xiao Hei next to him—
The one-foot-long thing was on all fours, its fluffy and soft belly undulated slightly, and it was snoring lightly in its throat, apparently in a deep sleep. There were no obvious foreign objects on the sheets, and no suspicious odors in the air.
call. Shen Shi'an let out a long sigh of relief. Looking at the phone, it was only half past five, and raised his hand to poke Xiao Hei's belly twice: "Get up, I'll take you out to shit."
It was late in winter, and it was still groggy outside the window at this point, so when Shen Shi'an changed his clothes and washed, walked through the corridor and entered the living room, he didn't immediately notice anything unusual.
Until he picked up the mug from the coffee table and inadvertently raised his eyes towards the balcony. If it wasn't for his determination and quick reaction, the cup in his hand might have fallen.
Shen Shi'an strode towards the balcony, and opened the glass door between the living room and the balcony with a "swish" - because the metal edge of the glass door hit the door frame heavily because of the hasty movement, the pulleys made a harsh friction sound in the track, and then It is especially loud and clear in the dead of winter early morning.
A leaf the size of a cattail leaf squeezed in after the glass door opened, brushed against Shen Shi'an's cheek and fell to his ear. Shen Shi'an raised his head in a daze, and on his slender and elegant neck, his Adam's apple quivered a few times—
For a moment, he almost thought that a virgin forest grew on his balcony.
The aloe vera that was still sluggish yesterday was like a mutated deep-sea siren. The triangular fleshy leaves were like the huge and thick tentacles of the siren. Each one was as thick as the waist of an adult man. It grows radially up to the height of the ceiling, and even the jagged thorns on the edge of the leaves have changed from the size of a sesame seed to countless hard and sharp watermelon knives.
As for the three-dimensional green radish that was originally placed in the corner of the balcony, several vines climbed and entangled with each other like a dark green python. Strictly speaking—if the windows on the balcony are not closed properly, Shen Shi'an has no doubt that these vines will pass through the window lattice and continue to climb and grow along the walls of the building recklessly.
Early in the morning, he was woken up in his deep sleep by someone poking him, and the super-vicious little black showed an aura of waking up that was bursting with anger. It followed Shen Shian wherever he went, bouncing back and forth at his feet, scratching his slippers vigorously. and pant cuffs. Therefore, when Shen Shi'an took a few quick steps and suddenly stopped in front of the glass door, Xiao Hei couldn't catch up and bumped into his calf, and under the reaction force, he fell back and sat on the ground with a "ton" on his buttocks, shaking his head. Before he had time to show his teeth, he saw the same scene as what Shen Shi'an had seen.
Shen Shi'an swallowed with some difficulty, lowered his head and met Gouzi's eyes: stunned.jpg.
Why? Shen Shi'an's brows were furrowed, and the shock in his heart was still surging like waves: It was obviously fine yesterday, but why did such an astonishing and unreasonable change happen overnight? What is the cause, species variation or human influence? He didn't do anything but water—
Shen Shi'an was shocked: water. He poured spiritual spring water on aloe vera and pothos.
As if a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, Shen Shi'an suddenly remembered something, disappeared in place in an instant, and flashed into the space.
In the clearing surrounded by the stream, there were thirty rows and twenty-one rows of seeds that he had planted last night. At this time, each tomato tree was more than four meters high and lush and lush. On the "branch" as thick as an adult's arm, thousands of basketball-sized tomatoes are red like fire, shining attractively under the skylight in the space.
Shen Shi'an stood by the stream, looking a little dazed for a moment.
He was right to wish the tomatoes would grow faster, but that seemed too fast.
After a long while, I raised my hand and pinched the corners of my eyebrows. Now at least one thing is certain: the reason why the aloe, green radish, and tomato have such changes that violate the laws of nature is all because of the spiritual spring water.
Shen Shi'an turned his head to look at the spiritual spring surrounded by mist, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have underestimated the magic and function of the spiritual spring water.
But right now is not the time to think about these things, the little black shit hasn't done it yet!
My heart tightened, and I immediately returned to the living room, changed my clothes and shoes, took a few disposable shoe covers from the cabinet at the entrance, and waved to Xiao Hei: "Come here."
There was no dog leash at home, so Shen Shi'an grabbed the nape of his neck and picked it up, scolding coldly: "It's awkward, do you want to eat meat?"
Gouzi "snored" a few times in his throat, but he really didn't move.
As soon as Shen Shi'an locked the door and took out the key, the opposite door was opened, and the bodyguard Wan Feng came out, dressed neatly and expressionless, nodding to Shen Shi'an: "Morning."
"Morning," Shen Shi'an also nodded, a little surprised in his heart: "Didn't you sleep all night?"
He also maintained a regular biological clock during his hospitalization, getting up on time at six o'clock every morning. This habit is not difficult to find. But I got up earlier than usual today, and I don’t live in the same household. How did this Mr. Wan manage to go out with his front foot, and he followed him with his back foot
Wan Feng said succinctly: "Sleeping." He didn't intend to explain further.
Another bodyguard, Fan Guoping, came out from behind him, locked the door and said with a smile: "Then you must sleep. A bed is like a bullet and a man is like a gun. After resting, you will have strength. If you don't sleep, who can hold on? The two of us It's a shift. Mr. Shen got up so early today?"
After finishing speaking, he bent down and greeted Xiao Hei: "Oh, it was so dark yesterday, it looks pretty after washing."
Xiao Hei bared his teeth fiercely at him.
Shen Shi'an pinched the nape of his neck in his hands, signaling the little thing to be safe. At the same time, he replied: "Go out for a walk with the dog. It's not too far away. It's in the community. It's still early in the morning. You two can continue to rest and don't need to follow."
"How can that be done?" Fan Guoping hurriedly waved his hand in disagreement: "Mr. Gu agreed when he hired us that he would require 24-hour personal protection and use people's money to do things for others. We still have this professionalism. Mr. Shen doesn't want it. I feel embarrassed, we both have high wages."
So Shen Shi'an no longer refused, nodded and walked into the elevator first. Xiao Hei was held by his left hand, his forelimbs were raised and his hind limbs were stiff, shaking back and forth with his steps, like a piece of dried old bacon.
The bacon was released after Shen Shi'an walked out of the gate on the first floor, and ran forward with short legs.
The sun has not yet come out, and the temperature is at the lowest time of the day. The cold air is inhaled into the lungs, and when it is exhaled, it is a misty white.
Shen Shi'an took out a wet towel and wiped the palm of his left hand carefully. His slender and straight legs were neither fast nor slow, and followed Xiao Hei forward with a pleasing frequency. A ring of white fox fur on the hat of the down jacket surrounded his face, making his lips red and white, and his eyebrows and eyes were exquisite and cold.
It was too early, the temperature was too low, and it was Saturday again. Except for Shen Shi'an and his party, there was almost no one in the community. Only occasionally could we see sanitation workers in the gap between trees and buildings.
Shen Shi'an took out his mobile phone and looked at it: the temperature displayed on it was minus four degrees, but he didn't feel how cold it was. His bony hands were casually hanging by his legs, and his skin was still warm and bloody.
The green environment in the community is excellent, with trees and bushes half the height of a person everywhere. After running for a while, Xiao Hei burrowed into one of the bushes.
Shen Shi'an was standing by the bushes, and whenever he thought that he would have to pick up his poop later, his face would freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye. For the third time, I began to regret from the bottom of my heart: why on earth did he bring this dog back.
Probably because he held it in for too long, it took Xiao Hei a little longer to deal with his physical problems than Shen Shi'an expected. After it finally got out of the bushes, Shen Shi'an clenched his fists and took a deep breath, put five layers of disposable shoe covers on the palm of his right hand, then bent down with a cold face, pushed aside the branches of the bushes with his left hand, and turned his upper body towards the Peek inside—
I searched everywhere I looked several times, but I didn't find any trace of shit.
If the dog feces are not treated in time, they will easily form powder after air drying and crushing, and the bacteria and viruses attached to it will spread through the air. If they directly contact the lawn, not only will they not be able to increase the fertility of the soil, but will generate a lot of heat due to fermentation and decomposition. and organic acids and other toxic substances, which can burn plants or cause "burning seedlings" phenomenon—
Shen Shi'an interrupted his thoughts in time. He seems to have read too much agricultural planting information recently.
But no matter how hard he searched, there was still no trace of Xiao Hei's papa.
Shen Shi'an withdrew his upper body from the bushes, looked at Xiao Hei who looked suspiciously at the side: "...you won't eat it, will you?"
After realizing what he meant, Xiao Hei was so angry that he scratched his trousers a few times, and then Shen Shi'an grabbed his paw—there were obvious dirt marks on the tip of the paw.
Ah, I dug a hole and buried it myself. Shen Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning his head to look at the bushes—even if he knew the adverse effects of pet feces directly contacting the soil, he couldn't convince himself to go in and find the hole dug by Xiao Hei, and then dig out the excrement it buried.
Forget it, do two good deeds every day today to make up for the mistakes.
Bought breakfast from a breakfast shop outside the community, and after returning home to eat one person and one dog, Shen Shi'an began to face the most difficult problem.
A balcony of more than ten square meters was tightly blocked by the mutated aloe vera and pothos, and the root system could not be seen. Shen Shi'an thought for a long time but could not come up with a proper solution.
He pinched the corners of his brows worriedly, and Shen Shi'an stepped back into the space again.
Compared with the limited "primitive jungle" on the balcony, the visual impact brought by the tomato forest that grows from seeds to big trees overnight is obviously stronger.
Shen Shi'an counted, a total of 2362 tomato trees. Yesterday he dug 31 rows and 21 rows, a total of 651 shallow pits, and put three to four seeds in each pit - if each pit is calculated as four seeds, there are a total of 2604 seeds, which is also It means that the survival rate is as high as 90.7%.
Even with very little experience in agriculture, Shen Shi'an can guess that this is an extremely high number, and the actual survival rate must be higher than this.
With so many thoughts in his mind, after walking around the tomato grove three times in a row, Shen Shi'an suddenly realized an even more shocking fact—
Due to the impact of the tomato forest, he ignored the most obvious anomalies other than the tomato tree for a while:
The planted area has increased.
When he sowed the seeds yesterday, the experimental field he marked out was only three by three meters, with a total area of nine square meters. But the current "forest" that accommodates more than 2,000 tomato trees is more than 900 square meters, let alone nine square meters.
But when he looked over from the other side of the stream, the tomato grove felt as if it was only nine square meters in size—as if the space had been folded.
When he looked from a distance, the area of the open space in front of the bamboo building did not change at all, but when he walked under the tomato tree, the surrounding space seemed to be magnified hundreds of times in an instant.
So, can the area of the open space be changed freely according to the needs of the plants on it
Then if the test field he drew yesterday is not nine square meters, only half, but still so many seeds are planted, will the actual area inside the test field expand to such a large size now
Shen Shi'an subconsciously bit his right thumb: In any case, it is impossible for the open space to expand infinitely. Variety.
However, what is the maximum value needs further experimental research.
Shen Shi'an took a deep breath, touched the Buddha lotus tattoo on his right wrist with his fingers, and looked a little dignified: this portable space is much more complicated than he imagined. If he can master the method of reading the "Returning to the Ruins" in the study, it is estimated that there will be more incredible changes.
But right now there are too many things, let's solve them one by one.
Shen Shi'an thought for a moment, bypassed the tomato grove, walked through the grass path and walked up to the corridor of the bamboo building. The cactus he brought in yesterday was placed by the railing of the corridor.
The cactus was not watered with spiritual spring water, so it did not experience the astonishing changes of the aloe and green radishes, but its volume was obviously more than three times larger than before it was brought into the space. .
It seems that not only spiritual spring water, but also the air in the space can promote the growth of plants, which should also be of great benefit to the human body. He stayed in the space for a long time, and when he first went out, he felt that the air outside was really unbearable.
Shen Shi'an looked at the spikes on the cactus that were as long as half a sewing needle and had a headache: Forget it, let's leave it for now, if you don't water the spiritual spring water, it shouldn't grow too exaggerated in the short term, when will you find a shovel to deal with it? it.
Before leaving the space, Shen Shi'an thought for a while, walked to a tomato tree and picked a tomato the size of a basketball: Now that it bears fruit, let's taste how it tastes.
The skin of the tomato is bright and shiny, and the delicate red flesh underneath is faintly visible. You can already smell the obvious fruity aroma before you cut it. After Shen Shian washes it and puts it on the cooked food board, he cuts it in half with a watermelon knife. The bright red juice is full and overflowing, the orange inside is crystal clear, and the more intense acidity The sweet aroma hits the nostrils instantly.
Shen Shi'an picked up half of it and took a bite. The tender and elastic flesh was wrapped with plenty of juice. After chewing, it exploded completely in the mouth, and the rich fruity aroma quickly filled the mouth and nose. The acidity and sweetness reached a perfect to the extreme level. Balance, refreshingly sour, sweet and tempting—
It was absolutely the best tomato he had ever had.
Xiao Hei had followed him as early as he had flashed out of the space, saw him holding the tomato and biting one after another, so anxious to scratch his heel—
It sort of understands that this human being not only has a portable domain, but also a fountain of life in the domain. And he actually used the spring of life to water the flowers and grow vegetables! !
luxury! waste! Prodigal! I want to eat too! !
Shen Shi'an also divided the other half into two, and cut one part into small pieces, and put it on a porcelain plate dedicated to Xiao Hei: "Here."
Xiao Hei rushed towards him with a gust of wind and clouds, and then started scratching his trousers again. Shen Shi'an was so annoyed that he could only give the other quarter to it: "How can you eat so well, who can afford it."
Xiao Hei buried his head in the plate and ignored him.
After eating and drinking enough, the "virgin forest" on the balcony still needs to be dealt with. The building where Shen Shi'an lives is located on the outer edge of the community, and the Medical University is far away, and there are no high-rise buildings on the opposite side. But the aloe vera and pothos obviously couldn't just be left alone. If they weren't dealt with as soon as possible, they would be found abnormal sooner or later.
But how to deal with it is really a headache.
Do you take a shovel and shovel it up a little bit before taking it out and throwing it away? The workload is too huge, and it takes at least three days for him alone.
Ugh. Sitting on the sofa, Shen Shi'an couldn't help sighing. If I had known, I would have entered the space with the cactus yesterday—
Wait a moment.
Shen Shi'an straightened his back suddenly: he put things into the space, always in the form of "whole", such as a set of folded clothes, a pair of slippers put together, a storage bag full of toiletries...
As long as you touch a certain part of this "whole" with your palm, and with a thought, the whole "whole" will be taken in.
The aloe and pothos after absorbing the spiritual spring water were too huge, and they were entangled with each other inseparable from the wall, so he didn't consider the method of "income space" at first. If he only touches a part of aloe or pothos, can the space automatically recognize the "whole" and separate it from the entanglement of another plant
Shen Shi'an immediately stood up from the sofa and walked to the side of the "prime forest". Taking a short breath, he gently placed his palm on the aloe's long thorns as long as a watermelon knife—
receive.
The scene in front of me seemed to flash slightly, and a large gap suddenly appeared on the balcony that was crowded with aloe vera and pothos.
The aloe completely disappeared, and the pothos vines that had been clinging to the fleshy leaves of the aloe lost their support and fell to the ground with a "snap".
It's done.
