Chapter 68: Insignificant Dust
Autumn is gone, and it has been five years in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the withered yellow leaves floating outside the window, looking at the tree-lined path that the sweepers had just cleaned and was covered with leaves, Du Miao felt a little melancholy, today is his fifth year in the city, and the fifth time he has been unemployed. Every day for the past five years, he has worked very hard to do every job, he has worked very hard to adapt to the city, to adapt to the relationships in the city, but God always likes to joke with him, and every year he will lose his job......
In the past, he would have lost his job and dreamed of a new beginning, but now he ...... He was exhausted.
"Husband, is your work going well today?"
A beautiful and delicate woman carried a shopping bag into a simple and ordinary home.
With the woman's shout, Du Miao's thoughts returned to the woman's body, and a warm smile floated up that made his wife smile: "When is my husband unhappy, by the way, I will pay my salary tomorrow, and my husband will take you to buy the dress you like." ”
Five years of time and five years of setbacks, Du Miao couldn't raise any fighting spirit, how many times he wanted to give up, wanted to leave the city and return to his hometown where there was no gunsmoke, no deceit, no conspiracy.
But...... Wanrou came, and she followed him from her hometown to this strange city.
Three months ago, Wanrou spent four years in her hometown alone, Du Miao told her that as long as he went out to mix up with his personal appearance, he would definitely take her over, five years have passed, his original promise and original oath left Wanrou with too many beautiful visions and fantasies, Wanrou finally couldn't help it, left her hometown, and went to him.
Every time Du Miao wanted to give up, when he thought of being desperate for her gentleness, the humiliation and grievance in his heart would be hidden in the darkest place in his heart, and then, give him a warm smile and tell her, "We will be fine, believe me." ”
"Great, I'm going to cook for you, today I bought your favorite fruit." He said as if he was happy.
If she is really virtuous, she can marry such a woman, Du Miao is very happy, looking at Wanruo who is busy in the kitchen, her back is so weak, like a gust of wind can blow her down, the more so, the more sad Du Miao is.
Human society, this city, why he wants to survive is so difficult.
……
After dinner, Du Miao made an excuse to leave the house.
Walking on the cold and cold streets, let the icy cold wind slap on his face wantonly, cold and biting.
He didn't know what he was going to do, he was aimless, he had no direction.
Looking at the bustling neon city and the busy streets, the people shuttling through the city seem to have endless things to do and earn endless money...... He alone seems to be an insignificant speck of dust in this city.
On the side of the street, Du Miao came to the door of a bank, the business hall had already left work, only a woman in the 24-hour cash room was carrying a blue bag, and a large pile of money from the cash machine was loaded into the bag, and she looked at it for a while, as if there were 50,000 or 60,000 yuan in cash into her bag.
Stopping at the door of the bank, Du Miao's eyes were fixed on the woman's bag containing money.
Since coming to the human city, he knows very well that this is a society that looks at money, and you can buy anything and do whatever you want.
And he has no diploma, no education, he doesn't even know a few words, and his work depends entirely on the mood of the boss, he has never had a solid and stable job in the past five years, and the jobs he does are all coolies at the bottom of society.
The most tiring work, the hardest money to earn.
He had never been so eager for money, especially when he thought of his wife who was suffering with him at home, and his heart was indescribably sour.
Du Miao's breathing became short, and he watched the woman withdraw money from the cash room.
100,000, the bag is neatly filled with 100,000 cash!
As long as he does it now, he can plunder 100,000 in an instant, and there is no way for humans to take him.
100,000 yuan, he can do a lot of things in this city, and he can buy Wanrou's long-desired clothes......
"Didu~~Didu~~~"
A speeding police car whizzes past the street, and the screaming sound pulls Du Miao back to reality.
Stunned, the woman has gone away.
In the end, he still couldn't do it.
Continuing to walk the streets, before he knew it, he came to a park.
The autumn breeze was bleak, and there were no people in the park.
Du Miao didn't know why he came here, maybe only here can he get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a short time.
In late autumn, the park's dim street lamps, dead leaves, and deserted lakes reflect the gray sky, and there is no light in sight.
"Wanrou, I'm sorry, I'm useless, I'm so useless, I've caused you to live a hard life together."
On the deserted stone bench, Du Miao beat his ear in pain, and the sound of slapping became the only sound in the deserted park.
Tired and his face was numb, Du Miao calmed down and asked himself what to do in the future.
Is it really incapable of adapting to human society?
After sitting in the park for a long time, it was not until the lights in the park were turned off that Du Miao noticed that it was late at night.
He quickly got up and walked towards the outside of the park, he didn't want Wanrou to wait too tired.
Suddenly, he stopped, looked back at the deserted park, and his disheartened eyes swept over the flowers, trees, lakes and hills in the park......
"I ...... I promise, this is the last time. ”
Du Miao trembled all over, as if he had made a great inner struggle and finally made a certain decision, and his eyes became very hideous.
Strangely, Du Miao's forehead strangely grew a Ugin double-pronged rhino horn, his face was covered with carapace that stretched to the neck to the limbs, and the back of the leather carapace also suddenly arched a huge bag, like a hunchbacked monster, hideous and terrifying.
Opened the mouth covered with scales, and suddenly a strange wind hung in the park, and swept over the lake, and the lake dried up, and swept through the trees, and the trees withered, and the flowers and plants withered......
The strange wind rushed against the night sky, forming a whirlpool of wind in the dark night sky, and a flickering light suddenly appeared in the center of the wind disk, and as the demon wind dissipated, the light slowly fell on Du Miao's rhino horn, like a crystal touching the ground, turning into a green spot in the sky and being sucked into the hideous rhino horn.
After a long time, the mighty rhino horn and the hideous horn slowly faded, and Du Miao took a big breath, like a spring breeze.
When he came to the door of the bank again, Du Miao looked around and said worriedly: "Just take a little, it shouldn't be discovered." ”
Walking into the cash room, Du Miao waved his hand casually, and a layer of black fog was strangely floating on the camera, and then, he took out his bank card and inserted it into the ATM, and the poor balance made a big man want to cry.
Du Miao tapped the screen with his fingertips, and something strange happened, only to see the numbers on the screen beating wildly.
It wasn't until it jumped to 10,000 that the numbers on the screen stopped.
"Take 10,000, don't be greedy, don't be greedy, I'll go find a job tomorrow." Du Miao said as he prayed.
Withdrawal, with the sound of money coming out from the ATM, Du Miao was extremely nervous and excited.
Walking out of the bank, Du Miao patted the 10,000 yuan in his inner pocket, and his eyes became firm.
"Wanrou, I won't do this kind of thing again in the future, I will definitely make you happy, I swear!"
……
"A one-horned fairy, a colorful butterfly demon?" The Hundred Flowers Fairy said in surprise.
Zhu Mingtong sat lying on Erlang's legs, glanced at the concubine and said: "Now there are so many clues provided by Lei Gongna, Kunlun Mirror has detected that in the past three months, there are two demons that have frequently appeared in this city, they are likely to have cultivated into adults, disguised as humans, or they may be anyone we see, it is worth mentioning that these two demons are husband and wife." ”
"Zhu Mingtong, I still don't understand, subduing demons and eliminating demons is a matter of subduing demons and arhats, and dismantling mandarin ducks is your business, what does it have to do with me?" The Hundred Flowers Fairy asked.
The flower fairy is nature's most outstanding gardener, human beings have noticed the ecological crisis and gradually began to pay attention to the ecological environment, and in modern times, they have begun to gradually repair the devastated ecological environment, but no matter how they repair, they cannot repair the ecological environment that has been facing scarcity in a period of time.
Immortals such as the Hundred Flower Fairy, Mountain God, Tree God, and River God belong to the Heavenly Court Ecological Department, and they are the key to maintaining the ecological balance.
Of course, it is impossible for human beings to know all these ecological operations, and the scientific explanation is the earth's ability to purify and take care of itself.
Ahem, it's far away, let's get down to business.
"Naturally, it has something to do with it, fairy, don't you think it's strange when you look at this hazy sky?" Zhu Mingtong said.
Outside the window, there are no stars at night, no neon in the city, and the haze that can be seen everywhere envelops this bustling city.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy has actually been aware of the recent changes in the city's weather, it stands to reason that the city where she is located is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the rainy season is frequent, so there should be no haze exceeding the standard, and she has also noticed the bad environment before, but because of the trouble encountered by her mortal body, she was negligent.
Now that I think about it, there is indeed a big problem.
"If I'm not mistaken, the city's greenery is constantly withering, the rapid loss of aura, although it does not affect human life, but it is enough to affect the purification of the city's green plants, once the city's green plants are withered, the city's aura will also disappear completely, do you think human beings can still live normally in this city?" Zhu Mingtong said.
"You mean, this demon couple is plundering the aura?" The Hundred Flowers Fairy was shocked.
"Yes, it can cause bad weather in a short period of time, I can't think of anything other than the aura being plundered, fairy, you should understand the importance of the aura of a land." Zhu Mingtong said seriously.
