Chapter 23: Triangular pyramid
The place where Shi Zhen mixed is called Qingtang, which is an inconspicuous corner of this bustling metropolis, a patch of simple rental houses, groups of young people who kill Matt, forming a unique regional culture here, adults are busy for life, just want to wait for money to get their families out of this unbearable living environment as soon as possible, such busyness also leads to their lack of care and companionship for their children, many children have become perverse or too self-indulgent, Shi Zhen belongs to the latter.
Shi Zhen's family originally belonged to one of the landlords here, and his life was quite rich, but later due to the mysterious disappearance of his parents, Shi Zhen lived in the former tenant Uncle Ding's house, Uncle Ding was divorced in his early years, and took his only son Ding Lie to make a living by setting up a food stall, Uncle Ding regarded Shi Zhen as his own, and Ding Lie was three years younger than Shi Zhen, a horse, because of his impatience, Shi Zhen gave him the nickname "Lie Horse", and they became a family.
Uncle Ding is kind to Shi Zhen, although Shi Zhen has always been grateful, but he still feels that it is not his real home, he vows to rely on his own strength to find his parents, this idea has never faded with the passage of time in his heart, but has become more and more determined.
After the unpleasant separation with Kashiwagen Muquan that day, he went directly back to Uncle Ding's house, and when he walked into the room, he found Ding Lie lying on the bed, fiddling with a strange thing in his hand, and after a closer look, it was a hollow metal triangular cone, the overall size was about the same as the third-order conebrae Rubik's Cube, and in the middle of it there was a luminous sphere similar to a lamp bead, which was flashing with bursts of red light.
"What's it in your hands?" Shi Zhen just asked casually, he thought that this thing was a new toy bought by Liema.
"That's weird...... Liema muttered to himself, "it glows, but I can't find a place to put the battery on it." ”
"Maybe it's the same as a mobile phone." Shi Zhen leaned over to the burning horse.
"You see, there's no charging port on it, not even a small hole." Liema took the thing to Shi Zhen, "And the shiny thing in the middle and the surrounding area don't have any support, it's like magic." ”
"I'll see." Shi Zhen took the thing from the hand of the fierce horse, and looked at it repeatedly, he put his finger into it and tried to pull out the suspended luminous body, but he couldn't pick it out, as if there was an invisible force dragging it hard.
"This thing is too evil, right?" Shi Zhen asked.
"Today a guest came to the stall to eat, and when he left, he forgot to take it and left it on the table." Liema said.
"Take it first, and when the man thinks of it, I'll return it to the family." After Shi Zhen finished speaking, he returned the things to the hands of the fierce horse.
After several days, the owner of the triangular pyramid did not appear, and the thing had been placed at the head of the horse's bed as an inconspicuous ornament, and the two of them gradually forgot about it.
One night, Shi Zhen and Lima, who were still asleep, were suddenly awakened by a harsh sound, and at the same time they saw that the triangular pyramid at the head of the bed was emitting a white bright light, accompanied by harsh sound waves, and the brightness became stronger and stronger, until the surroundings were so white that they could not see anything, as if the photo was overexposed......
Shi Zhen and Liema were frightened into a cold sweat by the strange scene in front of them, and they couldn't speak for a while, because they couldn't stand such a strong light and noise, they could only close their eyes tightly and cover their ears with their hands. It didn't take long for the bright light to fade and the harsh sound to disappear, and the two slowly opened their eyes, unexpectedly that they were no longer in their room at this time, but ...... In a ruined post-apocalyptic place!
Early the next morning.
"Uncle, please bring me a fried pho!" A brightly dressed little boy said to Uncle Ding, who was busy.
"Okay, wait a minute." Uncle Ding turned around and looked at the little boy in front of him, he wondered a little, he thought to himself: This is the child of a rich family, how can he come here? Uncle Ding lit the fire on the stove and began to heat the oil pot......
That little boy is Kashiwa Muquan, today is Sunday, and he came to Qingtang to look for Shi Zhen with the mentality of spending a whole day.
"Huh? Lao Ding, haven't you confiscated the stall? An old man said as he found a seat and sat down slowly, "If you don't go back, your baby will be hungry." ”
"Uncle Zhang, you're laughing, they're not three-year-olds." Uncle Ding said with a smile.
"That's right, now Ah Lie has an extra brother who will take care of him." Uncle Zhang slowly stood up, took out two cigarettes, and handed one to Uncle Ding, "I heard that the child of the Shi family has a very stubborn temper, it's really hard for you." ”
"No, Ah Zhen can be obedient, he, he just doesn't have his parents, and he can't get over that hurdle in his heart." Uncle Ding had a cigarette in his mouth, grabbed a handful of pho and threw it into the pot, churning.
"Shi Jia...... Ah Zhen ......" Kashiwa Muquan on the side recalled the conversation between the two, and suddenly reacted: "Shi Zhen!?" ”
After a while, Uncle Ding handed a plate of fragrant fried rice noodles to Kashiwagi Quan, and was about to turn around and go back to the stove, when Kashiwa Muquan asked, "Uncle, I want to ask you about a person." ”
Uncle Ding stopped, smiled and nodded: "Say it." ”
"Do you know Shi Zhen? A boy about my age. Izumi Kashiwagi was a little skeptical about his guesses, and he was desperate to get an absolutely positive answer.
"Of course you know, what, you're his friend?"
As soon as he heard this, Kashiwagi jumped up from the stool excitedly and said excitedly, "Is he living in your house now?!" ”
"Yes...... yes, what's wrong? Uncle Ding was baffled by Bai Muquan's reaction.
"I've been looking for him for days, can you take me to meet him? Please! Kashiwagen bowed deeply to Uncle Ding politely.
"Kid, what are you doing here?" Uncle Ding was at a loss for a while, hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the cypress spring, and said, "Look, I'm also going to close the stall, and when we go back together, you can see him, you eat first, and wait for me by the way." ”
"Yes!" Kashiwagi Izumi sat down and ate happily, "It's delicious!" Delicious! Oh vaguely! ”
When did Shi Zhen make a friend from a rich family? And say things you don't understand. Uncle Ding muttered in his heart.
After putting away the stall, Uncle Ding pedaled the small three-wheeler full of stall utensils, and slowly walked in the direction of home, there was still a cypress spring sitting behind the car, he shook his legs, looked up at the sky, at this moment, his mood was as bright as this sunshine.
"Here." Uncle Ding got out of the car as he spoke, and Bai Muquan also jumped off.
"You go first, on the right hand side of the third floor, go up and knock on the door by yourself." At this point, he should have gotten up. After Uncle Ding finished speaking, he pushed the cart towards a simple carport......
