The place where Zhang Zian and Zhuang Xiaodie stood was a small open space full of weeds. The height of the weeds was almost as high as that of an adult. Next to it was a gloomy old tree. The vines spiraled around the trunk, wrapping tightly around the tree like an infatuated woman.
There were sounds of insects around them. Occasionally, there was a strange sound coming from the depths of the weeds, as if some wild beast had rushed past. However, because the weeds were too high and too dense, nothing could be seen clearly.
This environment was more dangerous than the mahogany forest. There might be large carnivorous beasts lurking around. Zhang Zian felt uneasy, but since Zhuang Xiaodie was around, if something really happened, she would be there.
He could not recognize the brick and concrete building in front of him at all. It was even more impossible to associate it with a pet shop. This building was at least four or five stories high, occupying the space of several surrounding shops. Its scale was equivalent to a bookstore or a small museum. Like other buildings, the signs and other signs of this building had become mud and dust, so he could not guess what this building was used for.
"Finally …" He was stunned for a long time, but he soon showed joy. "Is it finally demolished? How much did we lose? "
This time it was Zhuang Xiaodie's turn to be speechless.
She brought him here because she wanted to see his sad and melancholy look. What kind of brain structure would make him think of demolition?
Zhang Zian used his fingers to calculate the building area of the upper and lower floors of the pet shop, plus the building area of the upper and lower floors of the aquarium. After all, the standard of compensation for demolition was calculated based on the building area, not the area occupied. Considering the nearby housing prices and inflation, the more he thought about it, the happier he was.
Zhuang Xiaodie observed him and found that he was not pretending. He was really happy about the demolition.
"Seeing your house gone, you are not sad at all?" she asked incredulously.
"Why should I be sad?" He asked, puzzled. "This house is old. It was first built in the early 1990s, and then it was renovated several times. However, the main structure is already old, especially the power supply system and drainage system. The layout of the house is also outdated. As the saying goes, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come. Not to mention, we can lose a lot of money …"
He spoke eloquently, and it sounded very reasonable. She was speechless for a while. After a while, she asked, "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 matter-of-factly, "If we move to a new address, the conditions will definitely be better. Who doesn't like to live in a new house? Why stay in an old house?"
"But your parents bought the pet shop and built it up bit by bit," she reminded him.
"I know." He nodded. "So?"
`So you are going to sell the precious inheritance they left you? 'she asked.
"They left me a lot of things. The pet shop is the least important thing among them," he replied calmly.
After listening to Little Celery's story, he had a deeper understanding of this. His parents had left him both tangible and intangible assets. He had a rod in his heart and knew what was more important.
He shrugged and added, "They left the pet shop to me, but it doesn't mean that I have to leave the pet shop to my son or daughter. Wouldn't it become a dangerous house?"
Sihwa complained about his bathroom and bathtub every two or three days. He also knew that the bathroom was old and outdated, but what could he do?
If he could move to a suitable new home through the demolition, both the living conditions of the pets and the elfins would be greatly improved. Maybe he could also marry a wife with the spring breeze of reform. Nowadays, which young girl is willing to live in an old house after getting married?
Zhuang Xiaodie noticed that he had really untied the knot in his heart about the death of his parents, and this was all because of her …
The first battle in the dream ended in her defeat. She had always hated him, but now that she heard his answer, deep in her heart, she breathed a sigh of relief, like a stone falling to the ground.
She brought him here mainly to test him and see if he was still holding on to something in the past. If that was the case, she was afraid that things would be very difficult in the future …
Why?
Because if he could not untie the knot in his heart, and for some reason, he got the opportunity to return to the past, the consequences of things would be unpredictable.
In the long river of time, if the upstream channel is changed even by a centimeter, the downstream channel may move a thousand miles away …
She cherished her own existence. There were too many novel things waiting for her to explore and discover in this world. She did not want to cause her to disappear inexplicably from this world because of the impulse of this idiot.
It didn't matter what happened in the future, but if someone tried to change the past and threatened her existence, she would never sit back and watch.
If he did not pass her test just now, then what awaited him would be an eternal sleep. She would not allow him to wake up again.
Zhang Zian did not know that her emotional journey was so complicated. He did not know that he almost became a real sleeping beauty. He could not even wake up from the kiss and hug of a big sister. He had been thinking about how to spend the huge sum of money for the demolition. At the same time, he wondered if he could take advantage of the demolition and buy a few more shops before the demolition …
It was also very ironic. His parents worked hard to sell pets for more than ten years, and it was estimated that the word "demolition" would not make money as fast as the word "demolition."
At this time, a cloud suddenly floated over his head, blocking the sun.
He subconsciously looked up and couldn't help but be dumbfounded because it wasn't a cloud, but a ridiculously large … spaceship. It was like a super metropolis floating in the air. Because it was so big, he could see it clearly even if he stood on the ground.
This was a flying city made of steel. Countless small spaceships the size of sesame seeds entered and left the city, reminding people of the intersection during commuting time.
"That is …"
She looked up. "That is, of course, the city of the future."
"What the f * ck! The technology of the future is already so awesome? No wonder humans abandoned the cities on the ground … "He was amazed.
She looked at him meaningfully. "How do you know that the people living in that city are humans?"
He was stunned. "If they are not humans, could they be robots?"
"Maybe." She did not deny it. Her eyes looked over his shoulder and stared at something behind him. "What is that?"
"What?"
He quickly turned around. There was nothing behind him except weeds.
Then, he was suddenly pushed hard.
Before he fell face down, he woke up.
