Chapter Twenty-Four: Spring Dream on the Rocking Chair
Cheng Shi heard the last sentence thrown out by the fairy sister, "Go to the Pacific on a business trip." He was a little confused for a moment, and he didn't know if he had heard it wrong.
"A business trip to the Pacific? @ζ±ͺζ―θΏδΉθ―΄ηε? Cheng Shi asked with a puzzled look at the information bridge suspended in the living room.
"That's right, that's what the goddess said, and the specific arrangements should be sent to the car soon." The information bridge said unhurriedly.
After Cheng Shi heard the words of the information bridge, he confirmed that his hearing was fine, and a lot of questions instantly popped up in his mind: The Pacific Ocean is so big, what is it to Hawaii? Or to Saipan? Or Australia, New Zealand? Or maybe the new Matay? Are all travel expenses reimbursed? But in an instant, he thought again, whatever, anyway, it's been a few days, and the goddess sister should arrange it by then.
"Barbara, you can live in my house with peace of mind, don't think about the rest for the time being, you heard it just now, the company is treated well, and the company will reimburse the food expenses and everything." Cheng Shi looked at Sister Monkey and said with a smile on his face.
Barbara jumped up when she heard Cheng Shi's words: "Wow, really? Then thank you landlord, by the way, landlord, which room do I live in? This is quite satisfying for her to find a job with food and shelter, after all, none of the jobs she has done before can meet this condition.
Cheng Shi was frightened by Sister Monkey's "wow", and the expression on his face instantly stiffened for two seconds, "What's that...... Don't always be surprised, we are now a team, we will have to team up to brush monsters in the future, if the performance is good, maybe the New Year can send more bonuses, I first declare here, if the company pays bonuses, everyone has a share, but the premise is to ensure the harmony of people and animals at home. Cheng Shi said unhurriedly.
"What? Harmony between humans and animals? What do you mean, landlord? Sister Monkey looked at Cheng Shi suspiciously and asked.
Hearing Barbara's sudden questioning, Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment.
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, what I mean is that everyone should live in harmony and not fight and tear down the house at every turn." Cheng Shi explained with a smile, scratching his head awkwardly after speaking.
Barbara glanced at Cheng Shi, turned to look at the information bridge and said, "That flying little broken car, spit out my luggage." β
Info Bridge vibrated when he heard Sister Monkey's words, and then shouted, "Why are you all wrong? The two of them have given me three stage names, you don't always judge people by their appearance, although I look like a car, but my ability is really great, you will know in the future. After the information bridge finished speaking, he released Sister Monkey's luggage from the car, and an oversized suitcase seemed to appear out of thin air, which made Cheng Shi and Barbara, who were standing next to him, stunned.
only heard a crisp sound of "bang", and Sister Monkey's luggage slammed into the glass coffee table in the Cheng family's living room, and then ...... The glass coffee table shattered into several pieces.
Cheng Shi's face was petrified, and Barbara's face was also petrified.
"Xiaoqiao, can't you just release your luggage on the ground next to you? This coffee table is an ancestral heirloom. Cheng Shi yelled at the information bridge, and squatted down to check the glass coffee table that had been broken into several pieces, with a look of tears on his face.
"Although this suitcase is very heavy, according to my calculations, it should not be, but this is a work injury, and the company should be able to reimburse it." The information bridge muttered, vibrating twice to show embarrassment.
The monkey sister who was standing on the side seemed to know what the reason was, so she strode forward, picked up her luggage and walked towards the stairs without looking back.
Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment when he saw Sister Monkey hurriedly walking towards the stairs, but he didn't think much about it, and began to clean up the broken glass.
"Master, this car still doesn't think it's right, there should be something weird in that bag, this car suggests you go over and check it." Infobridge said suddenly.
Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of the information bridge, but in an instant, he felt that the coffee table was broken anyway, so forget it, besides, he couldn't forcibly search a girl's luggage bag because of such a trivial matter, so he walked out of the door with a few bags of broken glass.
Barbara walked to the second floor with her luggage, she first put her luggage at the staircase, and then walked to the rooms, she first opened the door of the first room on the right, and immediately closed it after finding that it was Cheng Shi's room, and then she looked at the other three rooms, and finally chose the second room by the stairs, and then put the luggage in, and then walked to the third floor.
Crunch......
Sister Monkey pushed open the door of the three-story attic, and she saw Miss Hawkman lying on the tatami mat sleeping like a dead person.
"You've chosen the best room first, Birdman." Sister Monkey muttered, and then slammed the attic door shut.
After Cheng Shi went out to throw out the garbage, it was half past ten in the morning, he saw that the sun was good today, so he went to the bedroom on the first floor and pulled a rocking chair to the yard, this rocking chair was often sat by Cheng Shi's father when he was alive, after his father left, Cheng Shi put it in the bedroom on the first floor, which was regarded as a memory, and today he wanted to lie on the rocking chair and bask in the sun in the yard, and by the way, he thought about how to go in the next life.
"The car has become smaller, the yard has become larger, and I can finally rest for two days." Cheng Shi looked at his small courtyard and thought, and then he lay on the rocking chair, the spring sun was warm, it seemed to have a hypnotic effect, and after a while, Cheng Shi who was lying on the rocking chair fell asleep.
"Stone, Stone ......"
Cheng Shi heard a long-lost and familiar voice, so he got up and heard the sound and left, he walked to the door of the living room, and saw that the furnishings in the living room were what he looked like when he was just in high school, and suddenly felt as if there was a warm current in his heart, and his eyes began to sweep from the small sofa by the door where he often sits, when his eyes swept to the TV wall, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his mother was standing there smiling at him, but this time he confirmed that his mother really saw him, so he walked towards his mother with joy, However, when he reached out to touch his mother again, everything in front of him disappeared in an instant, and it was replaced by a vast ocean.
Cheng Shi found himself suspended in a vast sea, he looked far away, only to see the waves rolling, the waves were turbulent, and he couldn't see the edge at all, suddenly, he seemed to vaguely see a very strange fish flying through the sea, so he chased it curiously, until he was about to get close to the water, he finally saw the appearance of the fish, he found that the fish was only half, and could only see half of the body to the tail of the fish, and not the upper body to the head of the fish.
The curious Cheng Shi followed the half-fish across the sea, he wanted to know where the half-fish would eventually swim, and when he followed for a while, he found that the half-fish seemed to know that Cheng Shi was following it, and the fish's tail kept waving at Cheng Shi, which made Cheng Shi excited.
Cheng Shi didn't know how long he followed this half-fish, they came to a calm sea, Cheng Shi saw that the half-fish gradually slowed down its swimming speed, so he subconsciously followed its rhythm and slowed down his own flying speed.
Suddenly, Cheng Shi saw that on this calm sea, the half-fish that gradually stopped swimming suddenly jumped out of the water, and Cheng Shi, who was frightened for a moment, hurriedly flew upward, and after flying to hovering in mid-air, he immediately turned around and looked down, and found that the upper body of this half-fish was actually made of water, and looked carefully, Cheng Shi found that the upper body of this fish was clearly a humanoid, and the humanoid water-shaped face made Cheng Shi feel extremely familiar.
Just as Cheng Shi was curiously looking at the strange half-fish on the sea at the moment, he saw the arm made of the water of the half-fish beckoning to him, signaling him to fly over, so he quickly flew over, and at the same time that Cheng Shi flew towards the half-fish, he saw that the half-fish was gradually materializing at a speed visible to the naked eye from the waist of the water fish connection.
"Merfolk? Mom? Cheng Shi, who flew to the mermaid, exclaimed.
At this time, Cheng Shi saw that the half-fish and half-water just now had completely turned into a half-human and half-fish appearance, about one-third of her lower body was in the water, and the rest of her body parts were on the water, as if she was standing there, and just looking at the upper body of this fish was clearly the appearance of her mother.
"Stone, come here, come to Mom." The mermaid spoke softly, and the voice seemed to come from far away.
"Mom, how did you become like this?" Cheng Shi flew up to the mermaid, looked at her curiously, and asked with a shocked expression.
"Son, this is just a form of mom that used to exist." The mermaid looked at Cheng Shi with a smile and whispered that although Cheng Shi was already very close to his mermaid mother, he still heard his mother's voice as if it was coming from far away.
"Mom, why is your voice like that? I can't even hear clearly. Cheng Shi looked at the mermaid mother in front of him and asked a little anxiously.
The mermaid saw that Cheng Shi was a little frightened in front of her, so she smiled slightly, with a comforting expression, and was silent for a while, and then she said: "Son, I am having a soul dialogue with you, your soul is not strong enough now, my voice may be a little delayed for you, you have to cherish your current work, and it will get better and better in the future." β
After the mermaid finished speaking, she rolled up a splash with her tail and threw it at Cheng Shi, only to see a translucent mist quickly form around Cheng Shi's body.
"Mom, where are you? I miss you so much, do you mean my job? I'm scared of my current job. Cheng Shi said as he looked curiously at the mist surrounding him.
"Stone, you have to be strong, although your mother's soul is far away, but your mother will try to help you, you have to try to do your best in every job you are doing now, maybe you will be able to see your mother in the near future." The mermaid still looked at Cheng Shi with a smile and said, the voice seemed to come from a farther away.
"Mom, I can't hear you anymore, are you leaving? I'm going to work hard, are you with Daddy? Cheng Shi looked at the mermaid mother and asked anxiously, but at this time, his mermaid mother just smiled at him and stopped talking.
Cheng Shi saw the mermaid mother who no longer spoke, so he subconsciously reached out to touch her, but the moment his hand touched the mermaid mother, the mermaid mother in front of him instantly turned into a splash and sprinkled the water, Cheng Shi saw that the mermaid mother was gone, so he immediately rushed to the water below, but the moment he touched the water, the sea in front of him immediately disappeared.
"Landlord, landlord, wake up......"
Cheng Shi seemed to hear someone calling him in a trance, so he jumped up suddenly, and in the face of Cheng Shi's sudden uprightness, Barbara didn't have time to dodge, and was suddenly thrown to the ground by Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi suddenly opened his eyes and saw Barbara, who was only one centimeter away from him, and subconsciously shouted: "Mom." I saw Barbara quickly transform and threw Cheng Shi back into the rocking chair.
"Oops...... What's the situation? Cheng Shi rubbed his eyes and muttered, at this moment Yang Yang was looking at him curiously beside him, while Barbara flew in mid-air with a disdainful expression towards Cheng Shi, and the information bridge was suspended above Cheng Shi's head as if scanning his head.
"Master, if you are from the perspective of human life forms on Earth, you have just experienced a death." The information bridge said unhurriedly.
"Ah......" Cheng Shi subconsciously shouted.
