Chapter 536: The Next Door
"The fare is 12 yuan, not charged now, scan the code when you get off, right."
Yangcheng Bus Station.
When Cheng Lin heard the driver's words, he put away the banknotes in his hand, thinking that in less than four months, the payment method of this car had changed.
Time has passed......
Because of the existence of the spirit world, he did not carry a suitcase, but carried a simple light gray backpack as usual.
The hair is fresh, the top is a normal jacket, and the bottom is long pants and travel shoes.
A few days have passed, and the fluctuations of the five products have also subsided, and he looks like an ordinary student.
got into the car, found a position by the window, sat down, Cheng Lin took out his headphones, stuffed them in his ears, listened to the music silently, and looked out the window.
This is a direct bus between Yangcheng and Ningcheng, at this moment, the car has not yet started, and there are fewer people than he imagined.
"The eleventh holiday has just passed, and they should have left before yesterday."
Regarding returning to Ningcheng, Cheng Lin's mood was slightly complicated.
He didn't expect that Huang Yin assigned him his hometown.
After confirming the news, he hurriedly asked Sun Xiao again, and found that the group he was in was not Ningcheng, the latter helped him inquire, and learned that there were also several teams in the academy that went to Ningcheng, but Cheng Lin was not familiar with it, so he simply acted alone.
remembered that a few days ago, he happened to meet Shi Jin and had a conversation with the other party.
At that time, Shi Jin joked that he wanted him to come back one day and help go to the affiliated college to do a propaganda or something, Cheng Lin shirked it at the time and said that he would talk about it later, but he didn't think that it would only be a few days of work, and he would return to his hometown.
"You don't really have to be dragged to give a speech, do you...... It shouldn't be, if it doesn't work, I'll push it off, but I'm also a five-grade now, and Shi Jin doesn't dare to really force me...... Right? ”
Sitting in the car, Cheng Lin was a little troubled.
Boom, boredom, the bus vibrated and drove away with a carload of passengers outside the city.
Today is cloudy, but the temperature is slightly warmer, so it is not cold, and the temperature is pleasant.
It takes more than an hour to reach Ningcheng, and Cheng Lin listens to the music, leans against the glass window, and enjoys the rare tranquility.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a fine stream of rain that hit the glass of the car.
Cheng Lin didn't pay attention to it, and when the name of the station near his home sounded in the car, he opened his eyes from his slumber, looked at the hazy autumn rain outside the window, he muttered, unzipped his backpack, put his right hand in, and took out an umbrella from the spirit world.
“…… Please walk slowly when you get off the bus......"
The electronic sound of the bus remained unchanged, and after Cheng Lin showed the payment code, he opened the umbrella and got off the bus with the other two passengers.
Standing under the stop sign, Cheng Lin identified the next direction, held an umbrella in one hand and stuffed it in his coat pocket with the other, and began to walk towards the community where his home was located.
It's not very urgent to go to the eighth group to report, it's still early, and he's going to go home first.
After all, I haven't been back for months.
……
Familiar with the road into the community, probably because of the rain, there are few people on the street.
A few people I met occasionally only felt a little familiar when they looked at it, but as for the name, I naturally didn't know.
When the other residents saw Cheng Lin, they didn't have any special reaction, the city is like this, maybe you have lived for decades and you don't know a few residents.
Cheng Lin may still be a little famous in the cultivation world, but those powerful ups and downs are too far away from ordinary people.
Came to the entrance of the unit building, looked at the "notice" posted on the wall, it is a notice of heating and water, Ningcheng heating is generally in early November, and now it is only the beginning of October, but when I came over, I have seen that there is planing road construction nearby, repairing underground pipelines, not planing, after two days of cold, planing is more difficult.
"Squeak."
Opened the door, put away the umbrella, the floor was low, Cheng Lin slowly stepped up the stairs, and after a while, he came to the door of the house.
"Whew."
Exhaling a breath, feeling for the key and unscrewing the door, Cheng Lin skillfully pressed the switch on the wall, and with a "snap", the light turned on, illuminating the somewhat dim room.
"I'm back."
Saying a word to the empty room, Cheng Lin didn't get an answer.
Not unexpected.
He didn't even have a pet at home, and he said this to the house.
Walking in, he turned on the lights in one breath, and the room suddenly lit up, and all the furnishings were so familiar, almost no different from the day he left.
It's just that a thin layer of dust has fallen on the floor.
"Clean?"
Putting the backpack down on the chair, Cheng Lin smiled, walked over and opened a gap in the window, and looked, well, there is no rain in this direction, and then he picked up the broom from the corner of the wall and prepared to clean the room.
This time I came back to do the mission, no matter how much I had to stay for a few days, I had to clean up.
Sweep the floor first, then mop it with a cloth, and then pick up a rag to wipe it...... The whole process is very skilled, before he lived by himself, and he cleaned the room by himself, and he only left for a few months, and he didn't get to the point of being raw.
Sweeping the dust, collecting garbage, pulling open the balcony, I saw that the two pots of flowers that I originally raised at home were about to die, and they hadn't been watered for several months, and in the autumn, it seemed that they couldn't survive.
Sighing softly, he pulled out the dead flowers and put them in the black garbage bag, Cheng Lin wiped his sweat, looked at the clean and bright room, and felt a lot better.
The only downside...... It's just too lonely.
Cheng Lin pursed his lips, especially when compared to the spirit world, this feeling was especially great.
"In the evening, it's good to move some small items to the spirit world, and leave the big ones."
He was secretly calculating.
He is not too nostalgic for this house, no one will really have feelings for a cold building, the real bond is his family, in contrast, he prefers to live in the spirit world.
This time I came back, I also had plans to move some of my favorite small things into the spirit world, of course, it was still necessary to keep the house, at least it could be a cover for him.
Thinking of this, he picked up the garbage bag, picked up the umbrella, walked to the corridor, closed the door, he was ready to take out the garbage, and then went to the eighth group to report.
However, just as he was locking the door, there was a sudden sound of the door closing upstairs.
"Bang dang."
Then, as if someone was going downstairs.
Cheng Lin didn't care about it, but for some reason, he suddenly had some strange signs in his heart, and he couldn't explain why, it was more like some strange perception of the Five Grades Realm.
He listened, his brow furrowed.
The sound should come from the upstairs household, it should not be mistaken, upstairs lives an old family, a bunch of old couples, very good people, the old man also has a very smart parrot, just ...... The footsteps downstairs didn't look like an old man.
These thoughts flickered for a second, Cheng Lin curiously turned his head back and up, looked up, and just saw a slender figure walking down the stairs.
It was a young man in a sportswear, stepping on a pair of white shoes, with a single ponytail in his hair, very neat, and the moment Cheng Lin looked over, the other party also looked back almost instinctively.
Immediately, the two were stunned.
"Cheng Lin?" The sportswear girl called out his name in surprise.
Cheng Lin was silent for two seconds, the emotions on his face changed, first shocked, then suspicious, and then complicated.
In the end, he showed his white teeth and said, "Song Jun...... Well, maybe I should call you Senior Sister Song? How did you get back? ”
