Striving for Science

Chapter 38: comfort

I will accompany you.

The four simple words seemed to block the wind that was constantly blowing towards the atrium, allowing his heart to gradually calm down.

"No, I'll walk outside and I'll be back in a while." After typing this sentence, Shen Changan hesitated for less than half a second before sending the sentence.

The next second his phone rang.

"where?"

"… "

"Outside your house." Shen Changan felt a little embarrassed when he said this. He really didn't come here on purpose, he just walked around randomly and happened to be here.

"Stand still and don't move."

In less than two minutes, the door of the community opened wide, and Daonian was sitting in a wheelchair, still expressionless. There was no one else by his side, and his clothes were neatly dressed, not like he just got up from the bed.

The street light was a little dim, Shen Changan leaned against the light pole, turned to look at Daonian under the street light, and smiled.

In Daonian's eyes, Shen Changan was like a poor homeless little man, waiting for someone to bring him home. He stretched out his hand, "Come on, I'll take you back."

"I'm so old, what else do I need?" Shen Changan touched the tip of his nose, which was blown by the cold wind, and walked to Daonian's side, "Have you not slept so late?"

"If I fall asleep, how can I come to pick you up who want to cry?" Daonian took out a small bottle from his coat and stuffed it into Shen Changan's hand, "Eat some."

"what is this?"

"Candy to make children happy."

Shen Changan poured out a pill and put it in his mouth, and the fragrant and not greasy taste immediately spread to his limbs, and the depression in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot with this sweetness.

Taking the initiative to push Daonian back, Daonian said: "If you can't sleep, turn around."

Shen Changan's footsteps paused slightly, and the one who really couldn't sleep was him, not Daonian. He did not reject Daonian's thoughtfulness and pushed him to walk slowly in the community.

The darkness that should have made people feel fearful, at this moment, gave Shen Changan a sense of peace. The wheelchair ran over the bluestone road, making a slight noise, and the moonlight sprinkled on the water surface, staining the water surface with silver light.

"If it's a summer night now, the moon is shining brightly, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom, it will be beautiful." Shen Changan looked at the water surface and said a bunch of useless nonsense.

Daonian listened quietly, he didn't even ask Shen Changan what happened. It seems that as long as Shen Changan is willing to speak, he is willing to listen.

Shen Changan was talking, and suddenly fell silent. He sat on the stone next to him, holding his knees and staring at the water: "Actually... I'm a little sad today."

Daonian hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted his shoulder.

"It turns out that I'm not my parents' biological child." After a long silence, Shen Changan said, "When the news of my father's sacrifice came back, my mother didn't sleep well for a month and lost nearly 20 pounds. But in order to take good care of me , she survived."

"I should ask him why my parents..." Why did my parents get attacked after they died, and it took years for them to be reincarnated. He remembered that Dao Nian highly respected science and did not believe in the myth of ghosts and ghosts. He even sponsored a lot of money to their department in order to promote scientific ideas, so he decided to keep this matter in his heart.

"The hearts they raised me were selfless." Shen Changan's eyes were slightly red, "After so many years, I have long been accustomed to living alone, and even when writing essays, I can calmly write about the warmth of those years, but..."

He finally admits that he misses them so much, so much.

He envied others who had his mother's nagging, his father's dictation, someone would wait for him to go home during the holiday, and someone would worry that he would not be able to eat well or sleep well when he went out.

Even when a young man complained about being urged to marry by his parents, he would think, if his parents were still alive, would he be urged to find a girlfriend, and if so, how would he deal with it? On Mother's Day, he wanted to buy a bunch of carnations and a coat for his mother, and let her show off to his sisters how caring and filial his son was. On Father's Day, he wanted to buy a coat for his father and asked him to go to his work unit to complain that his bear boy just likes spending money.

But he had no chance, and neither did his parents.

With so many regrets, so many reluctances, he could only pretend to say to himself that he is a man, that he can be like his father when he is old, and be a person who is worthy of his heart.

Only occasionally when he was eating moon cakes, he remembered that his father always broke a large piece of moon cake for him, and when he saw that his mouth was full of moon cake scum, he praised him for eating with momentum.

He made a puzzle, he could write a number, he could write his name, and they all praised him.

Our family Yuyou is amazing.

He said that he would buy a big plane for them, and he also said that he would buy a sea for them to go boating. They always touched his head and said with a smile, our family Youyou is awesome.

Mom and Dad like Yuyou the most.

Dad likes Yuyou the most.

Mom loves Yuyou the most.

"Dao Nian, I don't like my parents anymore." Shen Changan covered his face, and suddenly burst into tears, his face full of embarrassment.

In this lively world, he was actually left alone very early on.

No matter how good-looking people look, they don't look good when they cry.

A drop of water fell on the back of Daonian's hand, and he smelled a faint salty smell. He frowned and touched his chest suspiciously, here... what's wrong

It seems to be suffering.

He thought about what he should say, but in the long years of his birth, he never sympathized with those who cried bitterly, and never thought about what to do for other people's tears.

"Don't cry." He bent over stiffly and gently rubbed Shen Changan's messy hair, "Or... I learn to like you the most?"

Shen Changan looked at Daonian crying and laughing: "You are not my parents."

"You can treat me as a parent." Daonian thought for a while, "Although it's a little more troublesome to be a father and a mother, I can still persevere."

How human parents treat their children, he can also learn to do. Human cubs are not easy to coax, he can only spend more effort to make him happy, but he is tired.

"I don't have such a young parent as you." Shen Changan wiped his face with his hands, Daonian couldn't stand it any longer, and put his handkerchief in his hand, "I'm very old, but my face is tender."

"Yes, yes, in fact, you are an old man who is over a hundred years old, old enough for me to be called Grandpa." Thinking of himself as a big man, Shen Changan was a little embarrassed, he wiped his face with a handkerchief, He let out a long breath: "Dao Nian, thank you."

"You don't need to thank me, after all, my age is more than enough to be your grandfather." Daonian found that Shen Changan's nose was blown red, he took off his coat and put it on him, "Let's go, junior, grandpa is old, he wants to Go home to sleep."

"Smelly shameless, it really took advantage of me." Taking off his warm jacket, Shen Changan put the clothes back on Dao Nian, "Don't make trouble, my physical fitness is much better than yours, and I won't catch a cold. , you have to be careful."

Daonian frowned: "I won't get sick."

"You won't get sick, I'm still in a defense-like body." Putting his coat on Daonian, Shen Changan stood up, "Let's go back to sleep."

I cried for a while, although it looked a little embarrassing, but my mood was much better.

When entering the gate of the house, Shen Changan was a little worried. If others saw his embarrassed appearance after crying, how would he go to see people in the future

Fortunately, everyone else in the room was asleep. He pushed Daonian to his room, dragged his heels and jacket, and stopped him when he wanted to help Daonian take off his pants.

"I can do it myself."

"Okay." Shen Changan retreated to the door and smiled towards Daonian, "Daonian, good night."

Daonian saw that he had returned to his usual smiling appearance, and the corners of his mouth moved stiffly for a while: "Good night."

That night, Shen Changan didn't hear the humming sound and fell asleep drowsily.

He had an absurd dream, in which Daonian said to him expressionlessly, "Young man, you are my long-lost grandson, come with me."

He was so frightened that he couldn't even breathe, and the feeling of being taken advantage of by his friends in his dreams was simply a loss that he couldn't pay back.

When he opened his eyes with difficulty, he found several people standing beside the bed, including twins Shen Tu and Yu Lei, as well as Uncle Zhao and Brother Liu.

"You... cough, cough." Before Shen Changan sat up on the bed, he lay back again.

"You're sick." Uncle Zhao helped him up from the bed and stuffed him a bowl of soup with a strange color, "Come on, drink it and get some sleep."

Shen Changan looked at the bowl of soup suspiciously, worried that after drinking it, not only would his illness not heal, but he would also suffer from diarrhea.

"Don't worry, this soup of mine is absolutely authentic. No matter how many... people want to drink it." Uncle Zhao pushed the bowl to Shen Changan's mouth, "Drink it!"

Thinking of Uncle Zhao's power in the kitchen, Shen Changan gritted his teeth, took the soup and drank it.

The soup, which didn't look good, tasted fragrant and sweet. Shen Changan drank it in one breath, feeling that the pain in his throat that was still unbearable just now disappeared a lot, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

"It's normal for a child to get sick, don't be afraid." Uncle Zhao took the empty bowl, "Whatever you want to eat at noon, I'll make it for you."

"Want to eat spicy chicken."

"No, get angry."

"Pickle fish."

"A little spicy."

"Then... sixtieth?"

"That thing is not very nutritious, I'll make you an old duck soup."

Shen Changan: "..." So just pretended to be democratic and asked him

"Don't disturb Chang'an's rest."

It was only then that Shen Changan discovered that Daonian had been sitting by the window, with a book on his lap, and his quietness and beauty surpassed any oil painting in the world.

Seeing that Shen Changan finally noticed him, Daonian said with a sullen face: "Last night someone said he was a national defense body?"

Shen Changan: "..."

"Impossible to get sick?"

Shen Changan: "..."

If he hadn't raised this flag last night, he might not have gotten sick. Sometimes the human body is so pretentious that one can't help but boast.

"Want to eat spicy chicken and sauerkraut fish?" Daonian threw the book on his lap onto the small round table, and the rest of the room shuddered in fright.

Liu Mao swallowed his saliva and said boldly, "Sir, Mr. Shen is still young."

"That's right." Uncle Zhao rubbed his hands together and said quickly, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked Changan to pick the food, I wouldn't have..."

"You come here, but you haven't learned anything else, but have you learned how to spoil children without a bottom line?" Daonian glanced at them blankly, "A good child, all spoiled by you, go out."

Everyone: "… "

It's over, Mr. said so much today, it seems that he is really angry.

They peeked out the window secretly, but there was no lightning, no wind and rain, and it seemed that they were not so angry yet.

The four exchanged glances and silently exited the room.

Daonian stared at Shen Changan, Shen Changan silently pulled up the quilt, covered the area below his eyes, and began to cough.

Seeing how pitiful he was coughing, Daonian's tense face was helplessly eased: "I have already asked for leave, don't worry."

Shen Changan just remembered that today is a working day, and he still has to go to work. Picking up the mobile phone on the bedside, there are several missed calls, all from colleagues.

Ding Yang played the most, so he picked Ding Yang to call back.

As soon as the call was connected, Ding Yang picked it up.

"Chang'an, I heard from your friend that you are sick. How are you now? Is there anyone to take care of you?"

"It's not a big problem, just a little bit of a cold." Shen Changan coughed twice, "I'm lying at my friend's house, living the days when I open my mouth and clothes come to stretch my hands."

"That's good." Ding Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "Call me if you have anything. The work tasks are not too heavy these days. Don't rush to work. Take care of your body first."

"Okay." After listening to Ding Yang's nagging, Shen Changan hung up the phone and saw Daonian still looking at him, thinking he was going to continue blaming him, so he looked at him pitifully, "I know it's wrong, I'm sick. I will definitely not eat indiscriminately when I recover."

Daonian sneered silently: "Sleep, I'll call you later."

"I just woke up, how can I fall asleep..." Shen Changan yawned, facing Daonian's eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Parrot Feiying stood on the top of the tree, looked down at Hu Ming who was digging with his back to the ground, and sneered: "You didn't escape, why did you come back? I was afraid that after returning to the fox clan, I wouldn't be able to talk to the elders. explain."

"Shut up." Hu Ming threw his hoe to the ground, "What qualifications do you have to speak of me as a wild bird who is willing to degenerate and make pets for humans?"

"What's wrong with being a pet?" Feiying used her bird's beak to peck at the feathers on her abdomen, and said slowly, "At least I don't have to compost the flowers, and I don't have to dig the ground to plant trees."

Hu Ming picked up a piece of mud on the ground and threw it at Feiying angrily.

Feiying flapped her wings to avoid the mud attack, and sneered: "What's the use of being so angry, anyway, the adults won't give you a second look. I think my human master is very good, not only feeding me delicious food, but also letting me I ate a lot of good things at Zaojun Siming, and after staying here for a few days, my cultivation has grown to catch up with the previous ten years. Anyway, you cannot envy such a good treatment."

"Spineless, for a little benefit, there is no bottom line!"

"Your fox clan used to seduce gods, demons and ghosts for the sake of cultivation. You don't need your face. Now talk to me about your backbone?" Feiying tilted her fluffy head, "Are you telling a joke?"

"you… "

"Hu Ming." An old flower demon came out with a hoe, seeing that Hu Ming was going to bully Feiying, he quickly said: "Don't hurt Feiying, Mr. Shen likes it very much, if it hurts, even if it hurts Mr. Shen If you don't say anything, the adults will be unhappy."

Hu Ming: "… "

Feiying flapped her wings and flew back to the bird stand in the living room. Before Mr. Shen went downstairs, she had to adjust herself to the perfect pet state.

Hu Ming was so angry that he took a leave of absence and returned to the fox clan.

When the elder of the fox clan saw Hu Ming coming back, he frowned: "Your Excellency suddenly established the Immortal Mansion, do you know the reason?"

Hu Ming is embarrassed to say that he can't even get close to adults. As a fox demon who has practiced the magic of charm since he was a child, he can't compare to the charm of a human being, which is a great insult to him.

"Who else could it be, and I don't know what kind of means that human being used. The lord not only established the immortal mansion for him here, but also gave him the right to enter and leave the immortal mansion at will. The whole immortal mansion is parasitic on the lord. The immortal monsters in front of him are holding him, each one is a gentleman, as if that human being is the second master of the immortal mansion."

"Even Shen Tu and Yu Lei are like this?"

"Even the two door gods are like this. Sometimes they also act as drivers to send this human to work."

The elder of the fox clan frowned when he heard the words: "It's not a big problem for adults to have partiality, but he is so obviously partial to humans, where does he leave our other races?"

"I heard a piece of news." Hu Ming added, "Master Tiandao made the typhoon that was about to land on the human city dissipated at sea for the sake of mankind."

"Master Tiandao wants to destroy the law left by Dao for the sake of that human being?" The elder of the fox clan said angrily, "Confused, those human beings are shouting that people will conquer the sky all day long, and Lord Tiandao is still letting them, do you think..."

Do you want to make yourself like the Great Dao, and disappear silently

When the Great Dao collapsed and countless gods and demons fell, fortunately, the forty-nine laws of heaven and earth automatically gathered together to form the Dao of Heaven, which prevented the world from continuing to separate and collapse. Since then, human beings have gradually prospered. At that time, human beings were still in awe of gods and demons and did not dare to offend them.

However, as human beings have become more and more prosperous, their reliance on gods and demons has become less and less, and even countless literati have written stories of overthrowing the heavens and the earth and establishing themselves as kings. The gods and demons are no longer the existence they fear, but the material they use to compile the story.

Anyone who has some literary talent, they dare to say that the star of Wenqu is descended to the world, but those who have some talents of generals, they say that the star of Wuqu is descended to the world. A woman with some status, dare to say that she is the reincarnation of Jiutian Xuannv, the reincarnation of Phoenix.

I don't know who gave them the courage to step on immortals to flaunt themselves.

Who knows that this is not the most excessive. Now human beings no longer admit that there are gods and ghosts, relying on themselves to fly to the sky, travel through mountains and seas, and wish to dominate the entire galaxy.

"Isn't there a rumor that the law of the Dao of Heaven is not complete, and that after the law of the Dao escapes, it becomes the nemesis of the Dao of Heaven?" Hu Ming whispered, "If this escaped law is made to merge with the Dao of Heaven, or if this law disappears, Is there nothing that can threaten Heavenly Dao?"

"Difficult." The elder of the fox clan shook his head, "No one knows where this lifeline is hidden in the human race."

The world relies on forty-nine laws to turn time and turn the sea into a mulberry field. Although there are always people who will say what they want to earn this chance, but all gods and demons know that they can survive to this day by relying on the blessing of heaven.

But now the way of heaven has suddenly changed a little bit, which makes them unable to ignore it.

It would be great if we could find that vitality, destroy it, or merge with the Tao of Heaven.

"This is really where Chang'an friends live?" Chen Panpan carried a bag of fruit and looked up at the glittering gate outside the community. She had heard the name of this community. It was rumored that the security was very strict, and outsiders Can't get in at all. There was a reporter who wanted to go in and take photos secretly, but as soon as they entered the community, they were discovered by security.

There are many rumors about this community. Some people say that some secret staff live in it, and some people say that there are state secrets inside, so no one can enter.

The more outrageous rumor is that it is haunted, and everyone who enters will lose their memory, so no one knows what this community is like.

"Will we be kicked out by the guards?" Ding Yang felt a little guilty. In order to visit Chang'an, he was about to enter the legendary mysterious community. He was very nervous.

"Didn't you call Chang'an?" Xu Ze's family is in good condition, and he has heard about this community. At that time, his parents wanted to buy a house here. As soon as they started inquiring, someone advised them not to provoke people in this community, let alone live in it.

So since then, his family has kept a close eye on this community, never expecting that a friend from Chang'an would actually live here. No wonder they can spend so much money at will to temporarily live in their department's publicity work, and even lend a car to Changan to play with.

"A few are Mr. Shen's friends." The legendary doorman who was indifferent to outsiders walked over with a smile, "Please come with me here."

"Thank you." Xu Ze thanked politely.

"You're welcome." As soon as the guard's voice fell, the door slowly opened, and the guard made a gesture of invitation: "Please."

Behind the gate is a wide avenue. I don't know what kind of flowers are planted on both sides of the road. In winter, they bloom very brightly. Ding Yang and Chen Panpan were shocked by the large amount of greenery in the community, and couldn't help but doubt their eyes.

"There are not many residents in the community. Mr. Shen lives in the villa next to it." As soon as the doorman finished speaking, a sika deer ran out of the woods and quickly disappeared into the woods.

"Oh." The guard explained very naturally, "This is an artificially farmed sika deer. We all have formal breeding licenses." After he said this, a blue peacock walked out of the woods, and the peacock glanced arrogantly. Ding Yang and others stood in the middle of the road and did not leave.

"These are Mr. Shen's friends." The doorman smiled unchanged, "Mr. Liu specially informed me to let me lead these distinguished guests in."

The blue peacock, who was still very arrogant just now, plunged into the grass with his legs.

"This peacock... can still understand human speech?" Ding Yang was stunned.

"Oh." The guard smiled calmly, "This peacock has some spirituality. Although he doesn't understand human words, he knows how to look at his face."

"You don't have pandas, do you?" Chen Panpan asked in a low voice.

"Why do you think so?" the guard laughed, "Pandas are national treasures, and who is qualified to keep them besides the country."

Hearing this explanation, Chen Panpan was inexplicably relieved, although she didn't even know why she was relieved.

Probably because no matter how rich people are, they can only be like ordinary people and can't keep national treasures at home.

"Brilliant." Ding Yang looked up at the lush trees around him.

The way of life of the rich is really unimaginable to him.

Huh? !

What is above the tree that someone flew over? !

The author has something to say: Doorman: This community is scientific, peaceful and law-abiding.
