Shen Shi'an has lived with his grandma and grandpa for nearly six years. Under the influence of the old man, he has developed very healthy living habits and a very regular biological clock. At six o'clock every morning, he must open his eyes before the alarm clock rings.
But today's situation seems to be a little different.
After taking Xiao Hei to sleep with him, Shen Shi'an didn't dream anymore, but in his daze, he always felt that he had forgotten something important. The unknown confusion was elusive and elusive in the subconscious, until it finally became clear in the early morning:
He forgot that Xiao Hei needed to pee and poop.
"The dog may have defecated in a corner of the house or even next to his pillow." This thought shocked Shen Shi'an to sit up from the bed, his back covered with cold sweat, and he turned his head sharply, his eyes sharp. Stabbing at Xiao Hei next to him like a sword——
The foot-long little thing was lying on all fours, its furry and soft belly was rising and falling slightly, and it was snoring slightly in its throat. It was obvious that it was sleeping soundly. There were no obvious foreign objects on the sheets, and there was no suspicious smell in the air.
call. Shen Shi'an breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked at his phone and it was only half past five. He raised his hand and poked Xiao Hei's belly twice: "Get up quickly and take you out to poop."
It dawned late in winter, and it was still gloomy outside the window at this point, so when Shen Shi'an changed clothes, washed up, walked through the corridor and entered the living room, he didn't immediately notice anything unusual.
Until he picked up the mug from the coffee table and inadvertently raised his eyes towards the balcony. If it weren't for his good concentration and quick reaction, he might have dropped the cup in his hand.
Shen Shi'an strode to the balcony and opened the glass door between the living room and the balcony with a swish. Because he moved too quickly, the metal edge of the glass door hit the door frame hard, and the pulley made harsh friction in the track. The sound is especially loud and clear in the silent late winter morning.
A leaf the size of a cattail leaf squeezed in after the glass door opened, brushed against Shen Shian's cheek and fell to his ear. Shen Shi'an raised his head blankly, and on his long and elegant neck, his Adam's apple trembled rapidly——
For a moment, he almost thought that a virgin forest had grown on his balcony.
The aloe vera, which was wilting and languid yesterday, now looks like a mutated deep sea siren. Its triangular fleshy leaves are like the siren's huge and thick tentacles. Each one is as thick as an adult man's waist. From the balcony floor They grow radially as high as the ceiling, and even the jagged thorns on the edges of the leaves have grown from the size of sesame seeds into countless hard and sharp watermelon knives.
As for the three-dimensional pot of pothos originally placed in the corner of the balcony, several vines were winding and intertwining like dark green pythons. The leaves as big as cattails were green and growing wildly along the vines, blocking the huge balcony. Strictly - if the windows on the balcony are not closed properly, Shen Shi'an has no doubt that these vines will pass through the window lattice and continue to climb and grow along the building wall unscrupulously.
He was woken up from his deep sleep early in the morning before dawn. The super fierce little black showed an extremely angry attitude when he got up. He followed Shen Shian wherever he went, flopping back and forth at his feet and scratching him hard. His slippers and trousers. So when Shen Shi'an walked a few steps quickly and suddenly stopped in front of the glass door, Xiao Hei couldn't stop himself and bumped into his calf. He fell back under the reaction force and sat down on his butt on the ground, shaking. Before he could even show his teeth, he saw the same scene as Shen Shian had seen.
Shen Shi'an swallowed with some difficulty, lowered his head and met Gouzi's eyes: the dog was stunned.JPG.
Why? Shen Shi'an frowned, and the shock in his heart was still surging like waves: It was obviously fine yesterday, so why did such an astonishing and counterintuitive change occur overnight? What factors caused it, species variation or human influence? He did nothing but water—
Shen Shi'an was shocked: Water. He poured spiritual spring water on aloe vera and pothos.
As if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, Shen Shi'an suddenly remembered something, disappeared in an instant, and dodged into the space.
In the open space surrounded by streams, there are thirty-one rows and twenty-one rows of seeds that he planted just last night. At this time, they have grown into lush tomato trees that are more than four meters high. On the "branches" as thick as an adult's arm, thousands of tomatoes the size of basketballs are as red as fire, shining attractively under the skylight in the space.
Shen Shi'an stood by the creek, looking a little dazed for a moment.
It was true that he hoped the tomatoes would grow faster, but this seemed to be too fast.
After a while, he raised his hand and pinched the corners of his eyebrows. Now at least one thing is certain: the reason why aloe vera, green radish, and tomatoes undergo such changes that violate the laws of nature is because of the spiritual spring water.
Shen Shi'an turned to look at the spiritual spring surrounded by mist, and suddenly felt that he had underestimated the magic and effect of the spiritual spring water.
But now is not the time to think about this, the little black guy hasn’t pooped yet!
My heart tightened, and I immediately went back to the living room, changed my clothes and shoes, took some disposable shoe covers from the cabinet at the entrance, and waved to Xiao Hei: "Come here."
There was no dog leash at home, so Shen Shian directly grabbed the dog by the scruff of the neck and picked it up, scolding him coldly: "It's awkward, do you want to eat meat?"
The dog purred a few times in his throat, and sure enough he stopped moving.
As soon as Shen Shi'an locked the door and took out the key, the door on the opposite side was opened. Bodyguard Wan Feng came out, neatly dressed and expressionless, and nodded to Shen Shi'an: "Good morning."
"Morning," Shen Shi'an also nodded, feeling a little surprised: "Did you stay up all night?"
He also maintained a regular biological clock during his hospitalization and got up on time at six o'clock every morning. This habit was not difficult to find. But today he got up earlier than usual, and he didn't live in the same household. How did Mr. Wan manage to go out on his own and have him follow him immediately?
Wan Feng said concisely and concisely: "Sleep." He did not mean to explain further.
Another bodyguard, Fan Guoping, came out from behind him, locked the door and said with a smile: "Then you must sleep. The bed is like a bullet and the person is like a gun. Only when you are well rested will you be strong. If you don't sleep, who can hold on? We two It's a shift. Mr. Shen got up so early today?"
After saying that, he bent down and said hello to Xiao Hei: "Oh, it looked so dark yesterday, but it looks pretty after washing it off."
Xiao Hei bared his teeth fiercely at him.
Shen Shi'an pinched the skin of the back of his neck in his hand to signal the little thing to stay calm. At the same time, he replied: "I went out to walk the dog. It's not too far. It's just in the community. It's still early. You two can continue to rest without following me."
"How can that be done?" Fan Guoping quickly waved his hands in disagreement: "Mr. Gu made a promise when he hired us, requiring 24-hour personal protection and taking people's money to do things for them. We still have this professional quality. Mr. Shen doesn't want it. I’m sorry, we both have high salaries.”
In this way, Shen Shi'an no longer refused, nodded and walked into the elevator first. Xiao Hei was carried on his left hand, with his forelimbs raised and his hind limbs stiff, swaying back and forth with his steps, like a piece of dried bacon.
Bacon was put down after Shen Shi'an walked out of the entrance guard on the first floor, and ran forward with his short legs.
The sun has not yet come out, and the temperature is at its lowest point of the day. The cold air is breathed into the lungs, and when it is exhaled, it is a misty white.
Shen Shi'an took out a wet wipe and wiped the palm of his left hand carefully. His long and straight legs were neither fast nor slow, following Xiao Hei with a pleasing frequency. A circle of white fox fur on the hat of his down jacket surrounds his face, making his lips redder and whiter, and his brows look delicate and cool.
The time is too early, the temperature is too low, and today is Saturday again. Except for Shen Shi'an and his party, there is almost no one in the community. Occasionally, sanitation workers can be glimpsed in the gaps between trees and buildings.
Shen Shi'an took out his mobile phone and looked at it: the temperature displayed on it was minus four degrees, but he didn't feel that cold. His knuckled hands hung casually by his legs, and his skin was still glowing with warm blood.
The green environment in the community is excellent, with trees and shrubs half as tall as a person everywhere. Xiao Hei ran for a while and then got into one of the bushes.
Shen Shi'an stood by the bushes, and whenever he thought about having to pick up cakes for it later, his face quickly froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. The third time he started to regret sincerely: Why on earth did he pick this dog back up?
Probably because he had held it in for too long, it took Xiao Hei a little longer to deal with his physical problems than Shen Shi'an expected. After it finally emerged from the bush, Shen Shi'an clenched his hands and took a deep breath. He put five layers of disposable shoe covers on the palm of his right hand. Then he bent down with a cold face and pushed aside the branches of the bush with his left hand. The upper part of the body was thrust inside——
I searched everywhere I looked several times, but couldn't find any trace of dog poop.
If dog feces is not processed in time, it will easily form powder after being dried and broken, and the bacteria and viruses attached to it will be spread through the air. If it comes into direct contact with the lawn, not only will it not increase the fertility of the soil, but it will generate a lot of heat due to fermentation and decomposition. and organic acids and other toxic substances, which can burn plants or cause "seedling burning"——
Shen Shi'an interrupted his thoughts in time. He seemed to have read too much agricultural planting information recently.
But no matter how he looked, there was still no trace of Xiao Hei's daddy.
Shen Shi'an withdrew his upper body from the bushes and looked at Xiao Hei on the side with a suspicious face: "...you won't eat it, right?"
After realizing what he meant, Xiao Hei was so angry that he scratched his trousers several times, and then Shen Shi'an grabbed his paw - there were obvious traces of soil on the tip of his paw.
Ah, I dug a hole and buried it myself. Shen Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at the bushes - even if he knew all the adverse effects of pet feces directly contacting the soil, he still couldn't convince himself to dig in, find the hole dug by Xiao Hei, and then dig out the poop he buried.
Forget it, I will do two good deeds today to make up for my mistakes.
After buying breakfast from a breakfast shop outside the community and eating it for one person and one dog at home, Shen Shi'an began to face the most difficult problem.
A balcony covering more than ten square meters was completely blocked by mutated aloe vera and pothos, and even the roots could not be seen. Shen Shi'an thought for a long time but could not come up with a proper solution.
He pinched his eyebrows worriedly, and Shen Shian stepped forward and entered the space again.
Compared with the "primitive jungle" with limited volume on the balcony, the visual impact brought by the tomato forest that grows from seeds to large trees overnight is obviously more intense.
Shen Shi'an counted it and found a total of 2,362 tomato trees. Yesterday he dug 31 rows and 21 columns, a total of 651 shallow pits, and put three to four seeds in each pit - if each pit is calculated as four seeds, a total of 2604 seeds, which This means that the survival rate is as high as 90.7%.
Even if he has very little experience in agriculture, Shen Shi'an can guess that this is an extremely high number, and the actual survival rate is definitely higher than this.
With a lot of thoughts in his mind, after walking three times around the tomato forest, Shen Shi'an suddenly realized an even more shocking fact -
Because the impact of the tomato forest was so great, he temporarily ignored the most obvious anomaly besides the tomato trees:
The planting area has become larger.
When he planted the seeds yesterday, the test plot he marked out was only three by three meters, a total area of nine square meters. But now this "forest" with more than 2,000 tomato trees is more than 900 square meters, not to mention nine square meters.
But when he looked across the creek, the tomato forest seemed to be only nine square meters in size - as if the space had been folded.
When he looked at it from a distance, the area of the open space in front of the bamboo building had not changed at all. But when he walked under the tomato tree, the surrounding space seemed to be magnified hundreds of times in an instant.
So, the area of open space can be freely changed according to the needs of the plants on it?
So if the experimental field he designated yesterday was not nine square meters, only half of it, but still planted so many seeds, would the actual area inside the experimental field expand to this large size?
Shen Shi'an bit his right thumb subconsciously: In any case, the open space cannot expand infinitely. There must be a maximum value for the number of times it can expand. Beyond this maximum value, no matter how many things are stuffed into an open space, the space will not be enough. May continue to change.
What exactly this maximum value is requires further experimental research.
Shen Shi'an took a deep breath and touched the lotus tattoo on his right wrist with his fingers, his expression a little solemn: This portable space is much more complicated than he imagined. If he could master the method of reading the "Return to Ruins Technique" in the study, more incredible changes would probably occur.
But there are too many things going on right now, so let’s deal with them one by one.
Shen Shi'an thought for a moment, bypassed the tomato forest, walked through the grass path and walked to the corridor of the bamboo building. The cactus he brought in yesterday was placed next to the railing of the corridor.
The cactus was not irrigated with spiritual spring water, so it did not undergo the astonishing changes like aloe vera and pothos. However, its size was obviously more than three times larger than before it was retracted into the space. The pottery flowerpot was torn apart by the roots and fell to the ground with a slight touch. .
It seems that not only the spiritual spring water, but also the air in the space can promote the growth of plants and should be of great benefit to the human body. He has been in the space for a long time, and when he first went out, he felt that the outside air was really unbearable.
Shen Shi'an looked at the sharp thorns on the cactus that were as long as half a sewing needle and felt a headache: Forget it, let's leave it for now. If you don't water the spiritual spring water, it won't grow too much in the short term. When will you bring in a shovel? Then deal with it.
Before leaving the space, Shen Shi'an thought for a while, walked to a tomato tree and picked a tomato the size of a basketball: Now that it has fruit, let's taste it first.
The skin of the tomatoes is bright and shiny, and the delicate red flesh underneath is faintly visible. You can already smell the obvious fruity aroma before cutting it. After Shen Shi'an washed it and put it on the deli board, he cut it in half with a watermelon knife. The bright red juice was full and overflowing, and the orange inner flesh was crystal clear and richer. The sweet and sour aroma hits your nostrils instantly.
Shen Shi'an picked up half of the fruit and took a bite. The smooth and elastic flesh was wrapped in abundant juice. As he chewed, it completely exploded in his mouth. The rich fruit aroma quickly filled his mouth and nose. The acidity and sweetness reached a perfect level. The ultimate balance point, refreshingly sour and temptingly sweet——
It was definitely the best tomato he had ever tasted.
Xiao Hei followed him as soon as he stepped out of the space. Seeing him holding the tomatoes and taking bites one after another, he was so anxious that he scratched his heels hard——
It finally understood that this human being not only has a portable domain, but also a fountain of life in the domain. And he actually used the spring water of life to water flowers and grow vegetables! !
"Luxury! Waste! Prodigal! I want to eat too!!"
Shen Shi'an divided the other half into two, cut one into small pieces, and placed it on Xiao Hei's special porcelain plate: "Here."
Xiao Hei pounced on Feng Juan Can Yun, and then started to scratch his trouser legs. Shen Shi'an was so annoyed that he could only give the other quarter to it: "How can you eat so much? Who can afford to feed you?"
Xiao Hei buried his head in the plate and ignored him.
After eating and drinking, the "primitive forest" on the balcony still needs to be dealt with. The building where Shen Shi'an lives is located on the outer edge of the community. Beyond is the Medical University, and there are no high-rise buildings opposite. But aloe vera and pothos obviously can't just be left there. If they are not dealt with as soon as possible, sooner or later someone will find something abnormal.
But how to deal with it is really a headache.
Should I use a shovel to clean it bit by bit and then take it out and throw it away? The workload was so huge that it would take him at least three days by himself.
well. Shen Shi'an couldn't help but sigh while sitting on the sofa. If he had known it, he would have been put into the space with the cactus yesterday——
Wait a moment.
Shen Shi'an straightened his back suddenly: He put things into the space, always in the form of "whole", such as a set of clothes folded, a pair of slippers put together, and a storage bag filled with toiletries. …
As long as your palm touches a certain part of this "whole" and your mind moves, the entire "whole" will be taken in.
The aloe vera and pothos after absorbing the spiritual spring water were too large and entangled with each other on the wall, so he did not consider the "income space" method at the beginning. If he only touches a part of aloe vera or pothos, can the space automatically recognize the "whole" and separate it from the entanglement of another plant?
Shen Shi'an immediately stood up from the sofa and walked to the "primitive forest". Taking a breath, he gently placed his palm on the aloe vera's spikes, which were as long as a watermelon knife——
receive.
The scene in front of me seemed to flash slightly. On the balcony that was crowded with aloe vera and pothos, a large gap suddenly appeared.
The aloe vera completely disappeared, and the pothos vines originally clinging to the fleshy leaves of the aloe vera lost their support and fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.
It’s done.
