The sound of water.

He was in the water. He sank in the water. It was very dark.

Light.

The bubbles on the leaves of the water plants are glowing.

Something is swimming?

It's a hand. It only has the palm and fingers. There are also two legs, standing upside down, walking back and forth among the swaying water plants.

Eyeball. There is an eyeball lying among the water plants.

He found the other hand, connected to the arm...

He heard some noises.

Very boring.

There seemed to be something between them.

Suddenly, the sound was amplified many times, as if the speaker was directly attached to the eardrum.

Clang, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping… If the moon doesn’t sleep, you won’t sleep… High-end ingredients…

Very noisy.

So noisy.

The water plants trembled and shrank angrily, the water spun, and the parts scattered everywhere came together.

Jiang You opened his eyes.

Pour oil into the pan...buy him...321...

"Did you know that if you leave your mobile phone outside while taking the subway, you will be locked up and educated?" He looked sideways at Jiang Mo, who was sitting cross-legged. "Really, this has been written into the "Urban Rail Transit Passenger Transport Organization"

and Service Management Measures.”

Jiang Mo stood up, turned around, took two unsteady steps on the bed, then jumped off the bed and walked out.

Jiang You propped up his body and half sat up.

He lowered his head and pulled off the clothes on his body. It was a dark gray plaid nightgown, which looked very strange. He raised his head and squinted his eyes to look around, the light curtains, the bay window...

He heard footsteps.

Turning his head, he recognized Tang Butian from his silhouette.

"Where are my glasses?" he asked.

"Bedside table drawer, first compartment."

Jiang You bent down and opened the drawer. He found his glasses and his mobile phone.

Tang Butian's appearance became clearer. She was wearing a light yellow floral home clothes, her hair was tied up, she was fresh and cute.

Jiang You turned on his cell phone and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"

"Seven days."

"So long?"

The phone kept vibrating. I swiped the screen with my finger a few times. The battery was fully charged. There were many messages coming in. Jiang You slowly looked through it and said, "It's already September. They didn't make things difficult for you."

"No, they wanted to take you to the hospital, but I refused."

"You avoided being dissected. Is there any water?" Jiang You put the phone aside and looked at Tang Butian.

Tang Butian turned around and walked out. Not long after, she came back with a bottle of ice mineral water. She threw the water forward and Jiang You caught it. He screwed the cap off and drank most of the bottle of water in one go.

, and then he said: "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving."

"No."

"Okay." Jiang You sighed and sat up higher.

At this time, Tang Butian walked out again.

Jiang You heard the sound of a cabinet being opened and the scraping of plastic bags. Then, he saw Tang Butian walking into the room carrying a plastic bag, and then threw it at Jiang You again.

Jiang You opened the plastic bag.

Spicy rice crispy rice, Huang Feihong peanuts, golden potato balls...

Jiang You opened a bag of Shaqima and ate it in two or two bites. He also opened a bag of crispy chips and took one bite at a time.

"I want an explanation." Tang Butian leaned against the door and looked at him.

"Explain." Jiang You picked up the mineral water and drank the rest. "That Xiao Hu, when I look at him, sometimes I feel like he is looking at me." He looked at Tang Butian, "I don't want to remember too much."

, a long time ago, I hit my head and my face was covered in blood."

"Is he dead this time?"

"Dead."

"Where's the girl?"

"The new spirit can be counted as his descendant, but it is definitely not him." Jiang You looked out the window at the beautiful weather. "When he didn't recognize me, he wanted to trick us into opening the door for him so that he could take back the fish tank.

, what a strange sight that I had never seen half a century ago, compiled like a prose poem."

"Isn't he a poplar tree demon?"

"Who knows, fifty years ago, I suspect that he developed a group of followers here. Meng Yuanbai was probably one of them, and the tree demon was probably also one. When he was 'killed' thirty-one years ago,

Even if he managed to escape and become conscious, he was still very weak. He escaped back here and after recuperating for a while, he probably started planning something big."

Jiang You sighed, "Maybe Meng Yuanbai knew something, and while he was away, he teamed up with Xie Dong to seal his lair, making it impossible for him to go back. Therefore, if he wanted to regain his strength, he could only

The only way to find the door he left was to find his body."

Jiang You turned to look at Tang Butian again, "I actually don't quite understand. I remember that he just wanted to live well, so why was he deceived into lameness and come here to cause trouble?"

"Jiang Mo killed him."

"If he insists on hitting that level, he can't control it."

"Can't control the power?"

"If his brain is used as a CPU, when it reaches that dimension, he can only run one program, which is to eliminate all threats." Jiang You lifted the quilt and stood up. He walked to Tang Butian and looked at the nest.

Jiang Mo was playing with his mobile phone on the sofa in the living room, "I tried hard to save him, and I allowed him to be a little shark in my little pond."

"Why is he doing this?"

"Because he woke up," Jiang You turned to look into Tang Butian's eyes, "he made a great wish to find a place to live for all living beings who were precarious in the chaos, and to end the human era. To this end, he sacrificed his life to stay.

He left his inheritance, but because of the fish tank he took from me, a trace of his soul escaped, and that’s why I came here.”

"you?"

"I slept well," Jiang You complained a few words, and said, "So he woke up and died, so that his plan has a chance of success. Of course, I think it is impossible. He was just deceived.

Lame."

Jiang Mo raised his head and glanced at Jiang You.

"Also..."

"What?"

"Maybe I'll help him?"

"Help him?"

"I've done similar stupid things and failed." Jiang You walked to the sofa. He sat down next to Jiang Mo and reached out to touch his head. "Look, I got him a pretty good view."

I also found a pallbearer for him at the cemetery. You are worthy of him, right? This winter solstice, let's burn some paper for him. I just want to live in peace for a few days. How can humans be so stupid and have no common consciousness?

, he should travel around the world first to gain more experience. I don’t think the country next door and I have any common consciousness at all.”

"There will be no peace." Tang Butian said.

"Where's Zhuang Zekun?"

"Mountain."

"Are you going to hit me?"

"No." Tang Butian pursed her lips again, "According to convention, I might want you to settle in the mountains."

"For Shantou?"

"possible."

"Is there any takeout?"

"No."

"Don't go!"
