In an ordinary living room, the sofa is red, yellow and blue to form a spiral, which makes people dizzy.

The chair is a strong red-black compatible, and if someone looks at it for a long time, it will feel a sense of blood.

It was intense and intense, as if it was dyed red with blood, flowing on the sofa, slowly seeping down, revealing the smell of blood.

From the entrance, one color at a time.

Each of the heavy colors of red, orange, and purple is reflected in the eyes of the person who enters it in one step, thus forming a strong mental suggestion in the mind. Intense colors, the whole room is like a space made of countless medium colors.

Dangerous!

It's dangerous here, it's dangerous here.

- Be careful, don't make any dangerous moves!

There was a strong sense of oppression, and as soon as he entered this room, Meng Li felt that there seemed to be an uncomfortable feeling all over his body. It's hard to describe, like a fear, but it's a little different.

"Please come in. Just as he leaned against the door, hesitating whether to go in or not, a soft voice came. Girl's voice...... Soft and nice. The emotional taste in it is very light, and there is no excessive emotion.

Clean and thorough, like Chopin's serenade, so serene and quiet......

'Lenter?'

Skirting the table and chairs in the living room, along the only hallway, to the door of the room that was not closed:

Looking at the girl who wanted to bury herself in the stack of books, he hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Renter?"

"Yes. The girl who sat upright put down the book she was holding and replied calmly.

"I want to ask, can knowledge, a disembodied thing that exists in consciousness or in the mind, really be rented?" After hesitating for a long time, Meng Li stared into her eyes and asked slowly.

"Maybe others can't, but I can. The girl sitting in the chair did not mean to get up, she looked at the book quietly, and did not slowly speak until she finished reading the page: "There is no need to doubt it, because I am a renter, and the only business is - knowledge rental." ”

After getting a definite answer, Meng Li did not make any further moves.

He was a little irritable and didn't know what to say...... At this time, he should have been happy, but there was a little annoyance in his heart.

- He came, but he didn't say a word!

"Gu Qing has been here, otherwise, how could he have such achievements!" was silent for a long time before he slowly asked. He sneered in his heart, everything in the three of them was so absurd!

"I'm a leaser. With a good work ethic, I will not easily mention any guest's information in front of other guests. The tenant looked at the tall boy in front of him lightly, his face was serious, and it seemed that there was no room for negotiation.

She is like this, and if there is no temptation of knowledge that makes her heart flutter, this is the norm.

&......

"In that case, I won't ask. ”

Wisely stopped, Meng Li turned to say: "I want to rent knowledge, high school main courses, all subjects!"

"Well, my work ethic is to know the truth about my customers...... If you don't mind, can you tell me?"

"Is it okay not to say it?"

"I'm sorry, no. But you don't have to worry about anything, it's just a matter of professional ethics, and I don't usually refuse to lend knowledge. Well, it can be as concise as possible, but please don't lie, I can tell the truth from the false...... Deception makes me unhappy. ”

Her tone was calm, but unusually firm. This is a matter of principle, and one cannot be conceded.

“......... All right. After staring at the girl in front of him for a long time, he calmed down and began to talk.

"Heaven is not fair. Yes, Heaven is always unfair......"

He spoke slowly, but with a palpable sense of anger.

"Well, I have a general understanding, I can borrow it from you. Excuse me, what knowledge will you give?" when she asked this sentence, her flat tone changed, with anticipation.

"What...... What? I still need to pay you for knowledge?"

"Yes, I'm a leaser...... And only the renter. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and neither is knowledge. I only lend knowledge, and I must have a relatively equivalent knowledge income in my value system to lend knowledge. If you don't have knowledge that you can use to trade...... I'm sorry, but it's knowledge rental. ”

With that, she refocused her mind on the book......

Meng Li stood in place, his face flushed with anxiety.

No...... He searched his brain, and he couldn't think of any knowledge he could give!

Since elementary school, his grades have not been better...... This is true in junior high school, and even more so in high school.

Knowledge Rental, Knowledge Rental...... It's a lease of knowledge.

Lease is a need for substitution, if there is no substitution, how to call it a lease.

“...... I'm not reconciled!"

Walking out of the door in despair, Meng Li was completely stunned and didn't know what he was thinking!

If there is no knowledge to give, there is no way to talk about lending......

............

When I got home, I prepared dinner for my brother and went to work

Meng Li mechanically did this familiar thing thousands of times, he seemed to be distracted, his eyes were dull, and he had no energy.

"Brother, you come back early. The younger brother, who was only in junior high school, felt a little delicate when he looked at Meng Li today, and said this deliberately before he left. Outcome...... Even if his younger brother said goodbye to him, Meng Li didn't react.

A food street 300 meters away from Meng Li's house.

"Hello and welcome. Watching the guests enter the door, Meng Li Machinery welcomed.

"Fifty-eight pieces in total, looking for you forty-two. The guest took the goods to the clearing table, and Meng Li skillfully counted the items, collected the money, and looked for money...... The action is standard, flawless, but like a machine, there is no human anger at all.

"Welcome back. "The same mechanical goodbye.

"Hey, boy, you're a little weird today!Are you sick, do you need to rest for two days?" an old man in his sixties came to his side, patted Meng Li, who was obviously absent-minded, on the shoulder, and asked worriedly.

The old man is the manager of this small supermarket, and he is already an old man in his sixties. His body is not bad, but after all, he is so old, and his spirit is not as good as before. The villagers live not far away, he watched Meng Li grow up, and he also knows the situation of his family. So when Meng Li said that he wanted to come to this store to work, he agreed.

"Ahh......h No need Grandpa Chen, it's okay, I have a little headache today, just a while. Meng Li only woke up at this time, and looking at the old man who cared about him, he hurriedly made an excuse not to let the old man worry.

He respects the old man surnamed Chen very much, because it was he who gave Meng Li his first job when he couldn't find a job.

"That's good, that's good, pay attention when you're young, otherwise it's very bitter when you're old. ”

"Knowing Grandpa Chen, it's okay. ”

............

The small park, covered with a hazy orange characteristic of the twilight hour, shines on this small place. On one side of the park, there are rows of benches, swings swaying in the wind, and fitness equipment, both of which surround the central flower bed...... All of this in that warm glow creates a very comfortable atmosphere.

At this time, it is dinner time, and there are not many people here for a walk in the shade.

A few people in twos and threes, they are not sitting on the benches talking and laughing softly, even if they are taking a leisurely walk on the edge of the park.

Walking through the familiar streets, Li Xiang thought to himself.

I don't know why, Meng Li took the initiative to ask him out today, who had not spoken for several days. ’

When he came to the park, Meng Li was squatting on a bench, looking ahead in a daze.

......

Seeing Li think of it, Meng Li stood up.

The two sat down on the flower bed fence in the center of the small park very tacitly, not far from each other, but looking in different directions.

They were all silent, as if waiting for the other to speak first.

“...... Li thought, you said that if there was a chance. There is a place where you can provide knowledge rental, will you go?" Seeing an old man walk into the park in the distance and see him leave, Meng Li asked a thoughtless sentence very abruptly.

"Huh?" Li Xiang looked surprised, as if he was puzzled by this question. He looked at Meng Li and said angrily: "What are you talking about, I didn't hear clearly......?" Did you say something about knowledge, lend-lease, or something?"

"Knowledge Rental!" After hesitating, Meng Li looked at him with a serious face and said, "If there is a place that can provide knowledge rental, will you go?"

"You don't have a fever, do you?" reached out and touched his friend's forehead, Li wanted to worry about him.

As soon as he slapped Li Xiang's hand away, Meng Li's face turned a little dark, and he said loudly: "Who is joking with you? Do you know why Gu Qing got that kind of result? Do you know why I would say such a thing? Do you think about it, would I say this kind of nonsense that sounds impossible?"

Three rhetorical questions in a row made Li Xiang's original mentality of watching jokes a little more restrained.

After looking down and thinking for a while, he solemnly replied, "If you say that it is indeed true, it is a miracle...... In our world, miracles are not common, think of our lives, so many years, so many people, ordinary, calm without a trace of waves...... I'm going, why not, not everybody!!"

"Besides, if not for the sake of knowledge, it would be nice to see such a mysterious miracle!"

"Miracle...... The mystery that does not exist in this materialistic world has really been longing for me for a long time. ”

After seeing that his friend looked like this, Li Xiang sighed and said, "Actually, whoever you ask this question will get the same answer." Even if you ask the guy who is the first in the year, he will definitely answer like this!"

"Sure enough...... Can no one resist this temptation?"

"Then, do you have proof?" When Meng Li sighed, Li Xiang grabbed his arm and asked: "Although this kind of thing is desirable, my reason still tells me that this is not true - there are no miracles in reality!"

“...... No. 69 Wenshan Road, if you want to know, you can go there. ”

Meng Li jumped down from the fence of the flower bed, said a word, and walked out of the park alone.

In the twilight halo, the cicadas chirped incessantly, and his figure should be on the wall by the side of the road, a little low.

When he was about to leave the park, he turned around and said to him with some pain: "Gu Qing has been to ......."

Yes, he went and didn't tell them anything.

............

Silently watching his friend leave, Li Xiang's eyes flickered.

-- Knowledge Lending

――Gu Qing has been there

-- Achievements have improved by leaps and bounds

These three things are nothing special when viewed separately, and at best they are surprising, but they can be laughed off. But when put together, it ...... It makes people feel an inexplicable throbbing from the heart.

Are there really miracles in the world?

Is there really a miracle that transcends this fantasy that is bound by common sense?

Can knowledge, that kind of thing that exists in concept and has no substance in reality, really be rented?

"Go once, the big deal is to be deceived once, what's the big deal!" pinching the empty palm, Li Xiang also jumped down from the flower bed fence: "I, ah, may encounter the first adventure in my life...... What clothes do you want to wear, do you want to call Meng Li along?"

"Who is the other party?"

"Could it be the magician in the novel?"

On the way home, Li Xiang's thoughts came and went, and he never calmed down.

Later, even something that didn't make sense jumped out.
