Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chengzhong District is the oldest town in Jiangnan City.

Although it lagged behind the new development area of the surrounding high-rise during the most recent round of the city building campaign, the landscape is pleasant and the location is superb, but it is still very popular.

Especially a few characteristic commercial walking streets. Every time you go to the beginning of the Hua lantern, people float, the light is red and wine green, so it's not lively.

“Crane Hidden Cuisine" is situated in a golden position on a walking street called "Pingyang Road”. The wide doorface, a man-made bamboo forest, forcibly creates a quiet atmosphere in the downtown area. It does not mean “hidden” at all.

Across the street is Jiangnan City's first department store, which is 30 to 40 years old. When it was built, it was the tallest building in the whole city. At one point, it is long gone. No matter how it is renovated and renovated, it cannot change the rush pattern - but it can act as the height point of the control circle of 3500 meters, or more than enough.

In the men's toilet on the fifth floor of the first department store.

From here, you can overlook the entire Pingyang Road pedestrian street and see all the passers-by and tourists from north to south.

6: 30 p.m.

Li Yao has been standing here for half an hour, watching nearby shops and flows carefully with a telescope - he not only wants to see the author of Forty Thousand Years of Reconstruction, but must also determine whether the author lives nearby or far away, preferably by touching the melon and locking the author's nest.

Over time, minute by second, his gaze grew sharper, instantly locking in the different traits of hundreds of passers-by and analyzing their trajectories clearly.

“Teacher Niu, are you here? ”

After scanning the environment and passers-by, Li Yao sends a message in the name of "Rabbit in the Star Sea”.

“Just arrived, I was in blue, and there was a 'Grandma Fried Chicken' next to me, and you were there? ”

Opposite reply.

Li Yao pointed the telescope at a milk tea and fried chicken shop 20 to 30 meters next to Crane's secret dish.

In addition to a few middle school girls who were buying milk tea, it was a man with a thin bamboo pole, wearing a wrinkled blue suit.

“Is that him? ”

Li Yao carefully observed that this guy seemed like a newly shaved head shaved face, but how could he not hide the falling air between his eyebrows, maybe because of the perennial ambush work, his eyes were a little green, his cheeks were deeply depressed, and his back was slightly bowed up. He also bought the cheap suit in a large size, put it on his body and put a plastic bag on it, a gust of wind could blow him away.

Of course, even if the suit fits, it looks pretty weird - today is the hottest day since the summer, with temperatures up to 35 degrees Celsius, who wears a suit other than a real estate agent and insurance?

When Li Yao stared at the guy, he was using the dressing mirror at the garment store next to him to clean his outfit, breathe freshener into his mouth, and sneak a mirror reflection at the middle school girls who were drinking milk tea.

“There seems to be no one else nearby. ”

Li Yao scratched his head. He thought he could write Yan Xi Northwest, Xiao Xuanzhi, Jin Tu Hua, Lu Zheng, Boss Bai and other characters. The author can be depressed, can fall down, can shush, but he must always have such a little masculinity, right?

Not at all now, apparently.

After carefully scanning around and confirming that no one was following the author, Li Yao sent a "Coming Soon” message and stepped down the elevator.

She squeezed back into the crowd, but didn't rush up to say hello. The girls were still drinking milk tea. From time to time, a smile of youth erupted. Zhang Daniu also kept dashing beside her and her eyes kept spinning.

Li Yao touched a "toothpick crossbow" from his arms, a toy that children often play with. With the cover of the crowd, he shot a toothpick at Zhang Daniu.

The distance between the two sides was 78 meters, when the toothpick floated past, there was no power, Zhang Daniu was unconscious, until the toothpick stabbed behind his back, he screamed, rubbed back, and didn't realize anything hit him.

“So he doesn't have any ‘superpowers’, just a very sluggish ordinary person? ”

Li Yao confirmed this and threw the toothpick bow into the trash can on the side of the road, which was just up front. He patted each other on the shoulder and smiled with a full face: "Hello Teacher Niu! ”

Zhang Daniu turned back violently and discovered that he was a young man he had never seen before. His face turned full of excitement into surprise: “You are...”

“I'm a rabbit's brother, Gangnam Normal, I'm so sorry, it's so unfortunate. Last night the girls' dormitory at our school went into the thief, scared a few girls pretty bad. In the middle of the night, the school leader was furious, and the dormitory was very tight, saying that the girls were fine. It's best not to go out at night! ”

Li Yao smiled hip-hop, “So, there's no way, I'm the only male member of our science fiction association, rabbit, they asked me to represent them, to express their sincerest apologies to Teacher Niu, several of them girls said it was a long day, find a rest day, come out during the day to talk to Teacher Niu about literature, science fiction, life dreams, do you mind? ”

“Ah--”

Li Yao just saw Zhang Daniu's face just scratched clean, and still had a few cuts. Like ice under the fiery solar flame, it quickly lost its shape. “No, don't mind, of course don't mind, hahahaha, girls come out at night to be careful, there are too many bad people in society...”

“You understand, that's great, Rabbit. They're still worried that you're angry and you're not going to be a guest at our school, so I told them," How can you write "40,000 Years of Repair" cow teacher like that? ”

Li Yao laughed very happily, “Anyway, today, we are talking about the same thing. I also have a full stomach to talk to Teacher Niu. Besides, I know all about the rabbits and their situation. What do you want to know? Ask me if I'm right! ”

“Me, I don't want to know anything! ”

Zhang Daniu said, "I mainly want to understand the development of your science fiction association and care about contemporary college students' views on science fiction, dreams and the future. What else can I know? ”

“Yes, you're right, that's what we're talking about. ”

Li Yao patted his head, “I almost forgot to introduce myself, you said unfortunately - I happen to be called 'Li Yao’, same name as the male lead actor in your book, I also especially like to watch" 40,000 Years of Fixing Jin ". Really, I even think that I am Li Yao in the book, I have a kind of feeling with Teacher Niu... the feeling of being in touch with my heart, is the sound of knowing! ”

“Mm-hmm. ”

Zhang Daniu seemed to lose his desire to chat and coped with a mismatch.

“Don't just stand there, it's so hot. ”

Li Yao pulled Zhang Daniu, “Let's eat first, shall we? ”

“… line. ”

Zhang Daniu answered with impatience and then suddenly woke up, "Where are you going? ”

“Crane's secret dish! ”

Li Yao said, "The rabbit said you asked her to cook in the crane, didn't she? ”

“… ah, yes, so to speak, wait outside the crane secret food, it's easier to find here. ”

Zhang Daniu glanced at the low-key luxury crane secret restaurant, the corner of his eyes twitched a few times, "But the two days are a little tummy, not very suitable for eating these raw and cold food, those raw fish tablets have, there are parasites, otherwise Teacher Niu would buy you a casserole bone cooker, century-old store, just around the corner, the bones are rotten, much stronger than raw fish tablets. ”

Said to be "just around the corner”, the two walked away from the walking street for a dozen minutes to an old neighborhood filled with fireworks.

Li Yao doesn't care what he eats, just make sure Zhang Daniu lives nearby.

He watched carefully as he walked, Zhang Daniu held his right hand and deliberately avoided the walker, and his right hand was slightly swollen, like he was injured.

Zhang Daniu looked like he had eaten dust from his stomach and his face was not looking very good. However, when the heat soared up and the mountains of bones piled up on the table, he also seemed to admit his destiny, and his face reappeared with a dry smile.

“The girls' dormitories are burglars. They must have scared the rabbits, right? ”

Zhang Daniu laughed, “Rabbit... must her boyfriend be in a hurry too? ”

“The rabbit doesn't have a boyfriend. ”

Li Yiu slightly replied immediately, “My little sister is the kind of girl who has a soul pursuit and aesthetic interest. She's unique, she's extraordinary, she thinks about the universe all the time, the future, civilization and so on. How can ordinary mortals get into her eyes? ”

“Oh…”

There was light in Zhang Daniu's smile.

“And you? ”

Li Yao took the opportunity to inquire about Zhang Daniu, “Teacher Niu, why don't you come out for dinner and talk to your mother? ”

“No, actually, I'm single. I've been traveling alone for more than 30 years. How can I be a teacher?" ”

Zhang Daniu laughed, “Also, Li Yao, let me give you an opinion - everyone is a science fiction enthusiast, they are among the same people, don't call me 'Teacher Niu' long, ‘Teacher Niu’ short, it sounds like we are about the same age, you are all 20 up and down this year, I am also only 30 up and down, the mentality is especially young, you are all kind of the same age, don't call me 'Teacher Niu’, just call me ‘Brother Niu’! ”

“… Brother Niu. ”

Li Yao took a deep breath and tried to control his expression. He looked at Zhang Daniu's right hand, "Niu, drink some wine. No, live blood, hurts so fast! ”

“Well, drink a little! ”

Zhang Daniu waved, “That's right, don't treat me like a teacher, just as a friend - friends, what can't we talk about, what can't help? ”

“Yes, Brother Niu, if you look at" 40,000 Years of Refurbishment, "you must be a very delightful and particularly handsome person. It's not as famous as meeting. Here's to you first! ”

Li Yao had the heart to intoxicate Zhang Daniu, so to ask some key news. Anyway, his body was greatly strengthened. Normal alcohol was not enough to paralyze the nerves. One cup left, one cup right, three tours of wine, five flavors of food. Under his design, Zhang Daniu had already drunk red and red, his legs were shaking, and he had some big tongues in his speech.

“Brother Niu, can you tell me more about your journey in creating" Forty Thousand Years of Reality "? ”

Li Yao took the opportunity to say, "This is the task that rabbits have given me. Everyone wants to know, how did you first think of writing such a piece? ”
