Chapter 1709: Exploration

Zhang Zian and Zhuang Xiaodie are standing in a small open space full of weeds. The height of the weeds is almost as high as that of an adult. Next to it is a gloomy ancient tree. The vines spiral up around the trunk, like an infatuated woman Wrapped tightly around the big tree.

There were buzzing sounds of insects all around, and occasionally strange noises came from the depths of the grass, as if some wild beast had rushed past, but because the grass was too high and dense, nothing could be seen clearly.

This environment is even more dangerous than the redwood forest. There may be some large carnivorous beasts lurking around. Zhang Zian feels uneasy, but since Zhuang Xiaodie is by his side, if something happens, she will be able to bear it.

He could no longer recognize the masonry and concrete building in front of him, and it was even more impossible to link it with a pet store, because this building was at least four or five stories high, occupying the space of several surrounding shops, and the scale was quite large. It is a bookstore or a small museum. Like other buildings, the signboard and other signs of this building have become mud and dust, so it is impossible to guess what this building is used for.

"Finally..." He was stunned for a while, but soon expressed joy, "Is it finally demolished? How much did you pay?"

This time it was Zhuang Xiaodie's turn to be speechless.

She brought him here because she wanted to see him look sad and melancholy. What kind of brain structure does she need to think about demolition?

Zhang Zian counted the building area of ​​the upper and lower floors of the pet store with his fingers, and added the floor area of ​​the upper and lower floors of the aquarium. After all, the compensation standard for demolition is calculated based on the building area rather than the occupied area. Then consider Looking at the nearby housing prices, and taking into account inflation, the more you think about it, the more flattered you are.

Zhuang Xiaodie looked at his words and found that he was not pretending, but was really happy because of the demolition.

"Aren't you sad to see your house gone?" she asked in disbelief.

"Why are you sad?" He asked wonderingly, "This house has been around for a long time. It was first built in the early 1990s, and it has been renovated several times later, but the main structure is already old and dilapidated, especially the power supply. The system and drainage system, and the layout of the house are also outdated. As the saying goes, if the old one does not go, the new one will not come, not to mention that you can lose a lot of money..."

He spoke eloquently, which seemed to make sense, which made her speechless for a while, before asking again: "What about the pet shop?"

"Pet shop? Let's move. Trees are dead, but people are alive. Just move to a new address!" He said naturally, "Moving to a new address will definitely improve the conditions in all aspects. Who doesn't like it?" Live in a new house, why do you have to stay in the old house all the time?"

"But,

The pet store is bought by your parents and then run bit by bit. ’ she reminded.

"I know." He nodded, "So?"

"So you're selling off the precious inheritance they left you?" she asked.

"They left me a lot of things, and the house of the pet store is the least important thing." He replied calmly.

After listening to Xiao Celery about her experience, he realized this more deeply. The things left by his parents include both tangible and intangible assets. He has a weight in his heart, and he can tell which is more important.

He shrugged, and added: "They left the pet shop to me, but that doesn't mean I have to leave the pet shop to my son or daughter. Isn't that a dangerous building?"

Shihua complained about his bathroom and bathtub every day. He also knew that the bathroom was old and outdated, but what could be done?

If he can move to a suitable new home through demolition, the living conditions of both the pets and the elves will be greatly improved. Maybe he can also marry a wife through the spring breeze of reform. Which young girl is willing to Do you still live in the old house after getting married?

Zhuang Xiaodie realized that he had really unraveled the knot of his parents' death, and this was all thanks to her...

The first contest in the dream ended in her failure, which had always made her teeth itch with hatred, but now she heard his answer, deep in her heart she was relieved, like a stone fell to the ground.

She brought him here mainly to test him, to see if he is still clinging to something from the past, if that's the case, I'm afraid the future will be very difficult...

why?

Because if he can't untangle it all the time, and for some reason he is given the opportunity to go back to the past, the consequences of things will be unpredictable.

In the long river of time, if the upstream channel is changed by even one centimeter, the downstream channel may be shifted thousands of miles away...

She cherishes her own existence, there are so many novel things in this world waiting for her to explore and discover, and she doesn't want to cause her to disappear into this world inexplicably because of this idiot's impulsiveness.

Whatever happens in the future is fine, but if someone tries to alter the past so that her very existence is threatened, she will not sit idly by.

If he hadn't passed her temptation just now, what awaited him would be an eternal sleep, and she would not allow him to wake up again.

How did Zhang Zian expect that her mental journey was so complicated, and he didn't know that he almost became a real Sleeping Beauty. He couldn't even wake up with a hug from his young lady. I also wondered if I could buy a few more shops before the demolition...

It's also ironic to say that the pets that my parents have worked so hard all their lives from dawn to dusk for more than ten years are probably not as quick as the word "demolition".

At this time, a cloud suddenly floated overhead, covering the sun.

He looked up subconsciously, and couldn't help being stunned, because it was not a cloud, but a ridiculously large... spaceship, like a super city floating in the air, because it was too big, even standing on the ground Can also see clearly.

This is a flying city made of steel. Countless small spaceships the size of sesame seeds come and go around the city, reminiscent of a crossroads during commuting time.

"That is……"

She looked up, "Of course it's the city of the future."

"Fuck! The technology of the future is already so awesome? No wonder humans have abandoned the cities on the ground..." He was amazed.

She stared at him meaningfully, "How do you know that the people living in that city are humans?"

He was taken aback, "It's not a human, can it still be a robot?"

"Maybe." She was noncommittal, looking over his shoulder at something behind him, "What is that?"

"What?"

He turned around quickly, and there was nothing but weeds behind him.

Then, suddenly, he was pushed violently.

He woke up before falling face down.
