Volume 6: Summer Chapter 46: Enjoying the Coolness
"Is it a tube or some kind of creature?" Guan Qingtong asked.
"They are very cold and hard, like some kind of mechanical body," Jin Cheng said, a little uncertain, "But I think they are conscious. I floated beside them, following them forward and forward. Anything that blocked them would be crushed. They kept splitting and multiplying, twisting and squirming together, gradually occupying the entire space, and then I fell into darkness again, until I woke up."
Guan Qingtong nodded and said, "I understand."
"My previous dreams all had some hints, meaning I could roughly guess what the dream meant, or at least what it was related to, but this dream only brought fear," Jin Cheng looked at Guan Qingtong and asked, "I have drawn all the details. Can you interpret the meaning of this dream? Is something terrible going to happen, or..."
"I need to think about it." Guan Qingtong said.
Jin Cheng glanced at Chang Lizhang, then his gaze fell back on Guan Qingtong. He asked, "Did you figure out something? Tell me what you know, maybe I can remember more, because in a dream, my consciousness is very vague, and there may be some important clues that I overlooked."
"Okay, don't worry. I also want to find out as soon as possible what this dream means," Guan Qingtong looked into Jin Cheng's eyes. Her expression and tone were very sincere. "I do have some ways to glimpse the future, but I need a direction to find the future I want to see. The information you provide is very important."
After hearing this, Jin Cheng said casually: "Okay, you have my contact information anyway."
Afterwards, Guan Qingtong confirmed some details of the dream with Jin Cheng. After they had talked for a while, Chang Lizhang spoke up and said, "Let me take him to lunch first. He came here by car early in the morning."
"We've almost finished talking," Guan Qingtong asked Jin Cheng, "Will you stay in Tangjiang for a while?"
"That's fine. I have one last exam next Wednesday, so I need to go back." Jin Cheng replied.
Guan Qingtong thought about it, and then she said, "Then you go back and take the exam first. After the exam, you can live in Tangjiang for a while. There are no restrictions, except that you have to block your perception when entering and leaving here..."
"I'll tell him everything," Chang Lizhang stood up, "Jin Cheng, let's go eat first, and then I'll take you out for a walk in the afternoon and visit Tangjiang."
Hearing this, Jin Cheng picked up his backpack and stood up, "Okay, I'm starving. I only had one pancake this morning."
After Chang Lizhang and Jin Cheng left, Guan Qingtong sighed softly.
"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaozhen asked her.
Guan Nuo also looked at her nervously.
"I have a vague feeling, but I can't grasp it," Guan Qingtong looked at the water in the cup in her hand, and her voice gradually became lighter, "Maybe, the time has not come yet."
The water temperature gradually became colder.
Guan Qingtong woke up from her deep thoughts and said to Guan Nuo, "Xiao Nuo, Teacher Ji and I have something to talk about. Please go to the tea room and wait for me."
"OK."
Guan Nuo got up and left.
After the door was closed, only Ji Xiaozhen and Guan Qingtong were left in the office.
"How is the research on the body going?" Guan Qingtong asked.
"There has been great progress. Do you want to see specific data?" Ji Xiaozhen asked.
"No, it gives me a headache." Guan Qingtong put the cup on the table and said, "The research institute will move back to Laojinshan next month, and I am a little worried."
"You really haven't figured out anything?" Ji Xiaozhen looked at Guan Qingtong's face, not missing any change in her expression.
"No," Guan Qingtong denied, "Teacher Ji, do you think I would lie to you?"
"Of course not."
"After Lao Sang disappeared, I lost my confidence. Without confidence, I can't calculate or see anything."
"I know. It works if you believe it."
Guan Qingtong smiled bitterly.
"It's okay, you still have Xiaonuo." Ji Xiaozhen comforted her.
Guan Qingtong nodded and changed the subject, "I heard that you accepted a closed disciple?"
"Yes, I snatched him from the Academy of Sciences. He's a good talent," Ji Xiaozhen said with a smile on her face. "His name is Lin Shunan. He's not in the institute today. I'll let you meet him next time you come."
…
Guan Nuo followed his memory and found the empty tea room.
He walked to the window, opened it, and the wind blew on his face.
The institute's building is L-shaped.
A few faint clouds were painted on the clear blue sky. He leaned out a little and looked down. There were a few trees planted on the cement floor. He turned his head and his eyes widened. On the windowsill on the other side, a girl was sitting, with her hands behind her back, looking up at the sky.
The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, very thin, and wearing a loose light blue shirt.
After noticing Guan Nuo's presence, the girl's body shook.
"careful……"
As soon as Guan Nuo finished speaking, the girl disappeared on the windowsill.
"Xiao Nuo, let's go." Guan Qingtong's voice sounded behind Guan Nuo.
Guan Nuo turned around.
Guan Qingtong noticed that his face looked strange, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Guan Nuo glanced out the window again and said, "I just..."
"What did you see?"
Guan Nuo suddenly couldn't remember what he was going to say, so he shook his head and said, "I feel a little dizzy."
"Just get out." Guan Qingtong pushed up the window, "Let's go."
…
After the sun set, Lin Yu went back and Jiang You closed the shop.
He dragged a recliner to the middle of the yard, washed some yellow peaches, took a bag of melon seeds, and then took out the melon seed eating tool he bought a while ago, which was a round fruit plate with grooves for mobile phones and snacks, and an opening at the bottom that could be used as a trash can to throw melon seed shells and the like.
After everything was settled, Jiang You lay down on the recliner. Just as he was about to put his phone on it, a spider silk swung by and the phone was taken away.
Then he saw Jiang Mo walk out of the shop and down the stairs.
"Give it to me." Jiang You stretched out his hand to Jiang Mo.
He caught a ball of spider silk.
He took his hand back and pinched the spider silk. "Isn't it just that I asked you to eat a few more mouthfuls of rice? You are just a child. If you don't eat, how can you have the energy to fight..."
Jiang Mo walked in front of him.
"Are you angry?" Jiang You straightened up and looked at Jiang Mo's expression. "Are you really angry?"
Jiang Mo raised his leg and stepped on Jiang You.
"I remember it, really." Jiang You ruffled his hair, "The demon before was too ugly, and it wouldn't look good to be made into beads."
The spider silk wrapped the phone and dropped it into the groove of the artifact.
Jiang You lay back down, eating melon seeds while saying, "I remembered something."
