Chapter 8 The plan proceeded smoothly

"Yujie, you're back!" Mom and Dad were sitting on the couch watching TV, and Grandma was already resting in the room.

"Why are you back so late today?" Dad asked me while watching the game.

I've been playing with Yirui for too long just now - because it's a two-player game, and my skills are completely inadequate, the two of us have spent almost three hours unknowingly in one attempt after another.

"I finished playing games with my classmates for a while, and I forgot about it." Fortunately, they didn't know that they went to the girl's house.

"You go wash up today, rest early in the past few days after the holidays, and sleep back from the sleep you owe when you go to school."

"Okay."

When I got back to my room, my mother had already helped me pack up the books that were spread out on the bed by subject. I turned on the air conditioner and sat down in a chair.

"They're going to school again." Yirui sent a message with a screenshot.

The content of the screenshot is Zhang Fang's spatial dynamics today:

Sure enough, this damn "demon of grass and trees" is completely timid. I went to the school today to look around, but there was no "coward", it seems that we were completely scared yesterday. That's probably the end of today's expedition, and in the next few days, we will continue to infiltrate the school, catch this "grass demon", and teach it a good lesson.

Are all high school students still unable to distinguish between "of" and "land"? I sneered secretly. However, the "Demons of Grass and Trees" themselves think that their courage is commendable, and if it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to leak the news again, I might have gone to school today to have a good deal with them. However, wasting time with two paranoids doesn't mean much to me.

Playing video games was much more tiring than looking at my phone, and after taking a shower, I collapsed in bed and quickly fell asleep.

It's raining again......

It is familiar sun rain.

I was surrounded by an almost ocean, and the water was up to my knees, forcing me to roll up my trouser legs. I don't know where I am now, the only life around me is the few small trees that are as tall as me.

As I struggled forward, I could vaguely see the boundary between the ground and the water in the distance—we might call it the shore. Fifty centimeters of water made it difficult for me to walk, and I didn't know what was putting extra resistance on me underwater, so I had to lift my legs to get up to speed.

"Anyone?" I shouted.

"Is there anybody—is there anybody—is there anybody—" An echo came from nowhere.

Gradually, the sky in front of me gradually turned a deep blue, and the water level dropped significantly, or rather, I gradually came ashore. The water below my knees was getting clearer, and I could tell what was beneath the surface of the water - I looked like I was walking on a highway with a yellow lane-changing dotted line under my feet.

"Anyone?" I asked again.

The sky was turning from day to night, and the water had dropped from reaching my knees to just submerging my ankles.

In the distance, under the dark blue sky, a young girl was walking towards me—a long-haired girl with bare feet in a familiar school uniform.

"Classmates!" I trotted to her.

She seemed to be coming towards me, but she didn't seem to hear me.

"Classmates! Can you hear me? ”

I couldn't make out her face.

"Hey!" I cried out in despair, "Who are you?" ”

I could see the ripples beneath her feet, but I couldn't see her face. I don't know why, I tried so hard to get close to her, but the distance between me and her didn't shorten.

"Boom-"

I turned around, and it was a seven-story wave.

It's over, it's all over, I thought desperately. I let the waves encumber me and bury me—for I know I have absolutely no strength to resist this great force of nature.

"Classmates!" The waves have come to the top of my head, "Run!" Don't come down here! ”

Suddenly, the air around me turned a deep blue, I could no longer see the starry sky above my head, I became breathless, my limbs were weak, and my eyes only gradually became dark, gradually losing color......

"Classmate," I could hear her voice in, "are you alright?" ”

I don't know why the seven-story wave didn't drown her, her voice was getting closer and closer to me, but it was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see her appearance at this time.

"Take my hand and stand up."

"Classmate," I saw only the endless black, "who are you?" ”

"Are you hurt?" It sounded like she was crouching down to look at my body, "I'll see......"

"Can't you hear me?"

"Great, you're fine. Well, I'll go first......" She stood up and patted her skirt as she listened.

A gentle breeze swept through my sleeve, and she passed me.

"Don't go, I can't see anything!"

There was no answer, only the sound of her stepping on the water.

"Classmate, where are you? Don't leave me behind! I ran in the direction she left.

"Poof-" I fell into the water. It seemed that I was back in the pond again, lost my sight, completely disoriented, and the only female classmate who might have been with me left inexplicably.

"Don't leave me!" I shouted.

"Yujie, what's going on!" Dad opened my door and said to me angrily.

"Ah......h

I had nightmares again - in fact, I can't say it's a nightmare, although I dream of that strange world and that mysterious girl almost every day, but what happens in the dream is different every time.

From not being able to approach her at first, to being blind when I get close to her, I realized that I had no way to see her clearly.

"I'm sorry, Daddy," I sat up, "I'm having nightmares again." ”

"Let's sleep on another head, why do you keep having nightmares lately?"

"Go to sleep, good night." I lay down back exhausted.

"Good Night ......"

Since March, I have been having similar dreams one after another, and I will wake up from my dreams from time to time, and several times I will disturb my parents who are already asleep.

Now, it's all over, but fortunately there are no seven-story waves and endless shallow waters, but on the contrary, there are people like my father, mother, grandmother, and Yirui in real life.

As agreed between us, I got up early on Thursday and went to school.

Zhang Zhendong had already brought the flower seedlings - I thought they were going to be planted with seeds at first.

"No one uses seeds to plant it......" Listening to my doubts, Zhendong said, "These flower seedlings are quite expensive, and they are difficult to carry, I can only bring so much today, it seems that it will take several more times to complete it later." ”

"It's okay, I'll give out the money for the seedlings. If there's nothing else to do, let's get to work! Yi Rui urged excitedly.

"So, let's get started." Zhen Dong led us to what he thought was feasible.

This is the clearing that Yirui took me to last night, and there are a few tall camphor trees scattered around.

"To be reasonable, this place is not particularly suitable for planting flowers and plants, but because this place is relatively empty, and there are trees on both sides to shade a little under the scorching sun, the success rate is relatively high if you plant here." He paced as he explained the situation to us.

It seems that Yirui does know a lot about flowers, and her suggestion last time was exactly the same as what Zhendong just said.

"The next thing we need to do is prepare the planting pit." He continued.

"Planting pits?"

"Stupid, in layman's terms, it's digging the soil." Yirui, who was standing behind me, patted me on the shoulder.

"I've secretly brought the tools from the gardener's hut, and the three of us together must finish it as soon as possible." He walked to the center of the clearing, made a rough gesture with his hand about the scope of the day's work, and then took the iron fork and distributed it to us.

"Is Yirui-san going to do it too?"

"Of course, I'm very good at growing flowers."

I suddenly remembered that the last time I went to Yirui's house, I forgot to visit the small garden on the balcony that she had mentioned, and it seemed that Yirui would grow flowers on the small balcony by herself.

"Then we'll not talk nonsense. First of all, we need to loosen the soil at the target point and mash the mud, while being careful not to leave small stones, small leaves, etc. in it......"

Under the professional guidance of Zhang Zhendong, we have prepared about 50 "planting pits".

He stepped forward and sprinkled some powdery object back and forth into the planting pit, and then "stirred" it with a shovel. "Yujie, it's up to you next."

"Wow!" I saw the flower seedlings he pulled out, "Why is this flower seedling carrying such a large clod of soil?" ”

"Little fool, how can this flower seedling become a flower without a clod of soil." Yi Rui said "disgusted" again.

"Plants with soil, I don't know if I can handle them."

"Let's try it!"

I clenched my left fist, and the seedlings were under my control.

"It's really heavy...... my arms tensed, and I could hear the "crunch" sound, "Are you planting so much to turn this place into a sea of flowers?" ”

"Who made the open space in the school garden so big!"

I steered them to the top of the planting pit and used my right hand to disperse them precisely where they should be.

"Don't shake, get the position right."

"You can try it, you can take a look at it quickly...... Look at the position, I can't hold on. "I clenched my teeth, and I couldn't support my arms anymore.

"This one goes a little further to the right," he gestured to guide me in the direction, "okay, put it down a little harder." ”

More than fifty seedlings were accurately filled into their corresponding planting pits. To be honest, it wouldn't take much time to put it in one by one with your hands - the bad guy really wanted to see my supernatural abilities.

"Your supernatural power is really powerful, you can control the position of each flower seedling so precisely, if I can have such supernatural power, I guess before you discover this garden, this place has already been turned into a sea of flowers by me." Zhang Zhendong said on the side.

"The next step is to fill in the soil, you just need to fill in the soil that you just dug out on the side, remember to use your feet or shovel to gently compact the soil after filling."

"Do you still want a shovel?" I sat panting and said.

"Of course, you see that our sister Yirui is working with shovels, you are a big man who is embarrassed to watch?" As he spoke, he threw the shovel in his hand to me.

"You ...... These damn guys. ”

I didn't expect that I would still consume my stamina when using supernatural abilities, and I had never tried to operate such heavy things before, so I never knew that it would be so laborious to handle these things.

"Come on, it's just the last few steps, I'm done, I'll take you to my house for dinner." Yirui stroked my hair with her soil-stained hand and pulled me up from the ground with her slender arms.

"Thank you......"

The final stage was finally completed, but thankfully the filling was not a lot of work, and I was back to my previous state.

"Thank you!" Zhang Zhendong took off his gloves as he spoke, "I have to water or something next, I'll do it alone, you two go back first." ”

"Then I'll leave it to you here, thanks to the help of the two of you, I estimate that next spring, there will be a sea of flowers here!" Yirui said happily. Her hands, face, skirt, and socks were covered with mud, but she didn't expect that Yirui, who is usually very careful, would behave like this now.

"That's not necessarily, it depends on how we care after that," he suddenly became more serious, "If the care is good, it will bloom in a few months, if the care is not good......"

"I know, a few of us can definitely make this place a sea of flowers, right?" She pinched my arm behind my back, as if to tell me to hurry up and say "yes, yes, yes".

"But before that, there are still three-quarters left in this clearing to be completed!"

"Then come back tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?" I almost fainted.

"That's right, otherwise the flower seedlings I bought won't work." Zhen Dong added.

"Okay......"

In this way, our plan can be regarded as an initial success. If these seedlings can grow healthily, it will be able to turn into a sea of flowers next year before the school tries to start construction here.

In the weeks that followed, we went to school every now and then to take care of the newly planted seedlings, and of course, thanks to the fact that Zhen Dong came over from time to time to water and fertilize the little creatures in addition to tutoring the biology competition, and the seedlings slowly grew as we expected.

Of course, the tasks given to us in July were far more than that, Yirui still had to go to the big hotel to play the piano according to the previous time, and I, in order to stop being as idle as before, also went to work odd jobs outside with the consent of my parents.

Of course, in the end, it was through the introduction of Yirui that I found a job that suited me - Yirui begged the front desk of the hotel where she went to play the piano, and finally got me a temporary job as a waiter.

I still remember what the hotel said to me on the first day I arrived: "This position is not bad at all, if it weren't for the beautiful little girl who has been asking us for you, we would not be able to hire you, I hope you cherish it and cheer up to face every customer." ”

Because I work from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. every day, Yirui has extended her playing time accordingly. Since I started working part-time, I have found that my daily work has been very tight - I have to complete my homework in the morning, sometimes I have to go to school at noon, I will be invited to the library to study together in the afternoon, and I have to go to the hotel with her to do odd jobs in the evening. After returning home every day, I don't have time to spend time on anime or reading posts on the Internet. However, in this way, in addition to my own study at home, my summer vacation life can almost be said to be accompanied by Yirui's classmates all the time.
