Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

On the second day of the mahjong night, Luo Binhan slept until almost noon before getting up.They didn't play at the poker table for long, because Hannah and Yu Xiaorong still had to go to class, but he lost sleep because of his nervousness.At three o'clock in the morning, he was still tossing and turning in bed, secretly counting how often Zhou Yu, who was sleeping on the floor, turned over.What worried him a little was that Zhou Yu's sleep was as deep as a coma, without raving, and he hardly moved his limbs.For a while, Luo Binhan even felt that the only sound in the room was his own breathing.He had to close his eyes and discern carefully in the dark before he could realize that there were other living creatures in this space.

Maybe some people do sleep more peacefully, but Robin Han believes that this kind of coma-like sleep should be classified as unhealthy.He doesn't know if it's a disease, because he's only heard of severe snorers being at risk of choking in their sleep.But if a person sleeps too quietly, it may also be a sign of overdraft.

He continued to lie in vain for a while, feeling that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to follow a healthy routine.The room was too quiet, the air was too dry, the mattress was too soft...every little thing was preventing him from falling asleep peacefully.It was a hell of a thing, he never lost sleep when he was on the Silence - though there wasn't any real circadian routine for him to follow - and now, old problems that had plagued him in the past were back.His body had become so concrete and impotent, so flawed that a single pea under the sheet might cause trouble.He sighed, slipped out of the room quietly, and went to the kitchen to get some water to drink.

The night was extremely quiet, as if the flowers and woods embracing the town had also fallen asleep.But when Luo Binhan walked into the front yard with a water glass, he found that the lights on the second floor of the opposite house were still on.Maybe Anti-Pierre used to sleep with the light on, he thought as he drank the water, or maybe she was a nocturnal creature.

Everyone has the right to decide how much they want to pay for electricity, so instead of staring at someone's bedroom window, he looks up at the stars.The thin but colorful Milky Way looms behind the thin clouds, and the stars cast a cold gleam in the distance.Their beauty appears inanimate, like a gemstone.He thought that was why people used to say it was the palace of the gods, not a burning ball of fire, or a place where dirt and grime piled up like the world.

Now he knew that was not the case.That dazzling and confusing light band had been endowed with more meanings, although it can be said that he knew nothing about these meanings.Were the stars he was looking at at this moment really just huge rocks and dust and frost?Or some of them—even the ones he couldn't catch with his naked eyes—were alive, made of flesh and blood, a sun as bright as a painting surrounded by swords and flowers.Now it was hard for him to believe that everything that happened on Tianlun Star really happened.This starry sky is so beautiful, so empty, so indifferent, so illusory, if you believe that there are creatures with similar appearance and thinking as him living in it, how arrogant and ridiculous it will be.

He almost doubted himself again.But he couldn't immediately go back to the guest room to shake Zhou Yu awake and ask him if he knew Jing Huang.He wanted to text Momolo again, to talk to him about their first meeting, to make sure he had actually been on the ship.But the phone was left in the house by him.He really should be sleeping, but he continued to stand in the yard, seeing that the sky was turning pale.

There was a dog barking.The sound was not very close, as if it came from across the street.Luo Binhan looked out of the fence, and his gaze fell under the street lamp at the end of the road, where a shadow was vaguely swaying.

The barking continued, and more dogs were awakened and joined in the clamor.Lights flickered in the windows of the houses in the distance.Luo Binhan subconsciously glanced at the second floor of the opposite room, wondering if Anti-Pierre had woken up.He didn't see anyone moving behind the window, and when he went to look for the shadow at the end of the street, there was nothing there either.The water glass in his hand felt cool and soaked his fingers. Luo Binhan thought that the glass was leaking water, but when he lowered his head to check, he found that it was in good condition.He looked at his fingers, there were no water marks on them either.

Behind him, the lights on the second floor came on.A head poked out from the window and retracted into the room after a few seconds, and then Yu Xiaorong in pajamas came out of the room with messy hair on her head.She eyed him suspiciously, but didn't ask why he was standing there.

"I heard a dog barking," she said flatly.

Luo Binhan pointed to the street in the distance, showing that he didn't know more than her.They all craned their necks to look out of the fence, but the barking had stopped, and no one came out to check the situation.

"A few are in heat." Luo Binhan guessed.

"I know what kind of dogs are raised over there," Yu Xiaorong said, "Hrancis has been neutered. And at this point they should all be kept in the yard."

"Maybe they got a new dog."

"A dog in estrus will bark all day, if it really wants to bark." Yu Xiaorong put his hands on the fence, "I remember yesterday, no, there was such a time the evening before yesterday. This kind of thing is not common. Dogs A commotion... usually one leads the way, and then the others follow."

She eagerly wanted to go to the corner of the street to find out, but Luo Binhan escorted her into the house and reminded her to get up and get ready for school in two hours.After she reluctantly entered the bedroom, he returned to the front yard and looked at the movement on the street corner.He wasn't sure if he'd actually seen anything alive wandering there, maybe just the shadows of a tree moved by the wind, or a cat that had slipped out of the yard and wandered.He continued to stand in the yard until the sky gradually brightened, and nothing strange happened.

He finally went back to the house and went to sleep.He tossed back and forth on the pillow again, had a few intermittent and chaotic dreams, and when he woke up, it was time for lunch.Zhou Yu was not in the room, and Yu Qingshu at the dining table rarely said anything, but asked him if he would like to go out shopping with him in the afternoon, or if he needed something from her.Luo Binhan thought for a while, and felt that he had nothing important to do in the afternoon.

"I'll go with you," he said. "Where's Mal?"

"He's gone to the woods to see how his old studio is doing."

Robin Han frowned.He remembered that Yu Xiaorong had told him that there were wild beasts in the woods.But Malcolm is a veteran of the wild. From the bear-infested mountains to the gang-fighting streets, it seems that he can make a living anywhere.When he considered whether to mention the attack on the tourists, Yu Qingshu continued, "Zhou Yu also went with him, and we will go to the shopping mall in the afternoon."

"Him? With Mal? What's he doing there?"

"Go and see the scenery. It's time for Zhou Yu to go out and exercise more. Look at him in a haggard state. He is so lethargic at a young age. He drank so much coffee last night and he is still sleepy. That's not right. People who reach the age of 30! You should also persuade him—”

Yu Qingshu began to criticize Zhou Yu's many bad habits.In order not to let himself be involved, Luo Binhan wisely kept his mouth shut, nodding his head from time to time to express his unconditional approval.While criticizing Zhou Yu's many crimes, he found a pen and paper and handed it to Yu Qingshu, and then asked her what she wanted to buy.She really forgot how Zhou Yu wasted youth and health recklessly, and lowered her head to write the shopping list.

Luo Binhan was quite proud of his little trick. "You'd better tell Marl to let him and Zhou Yu be careful in the woods."

"They are all past the age of getting lost." Yu Qingshu said without raising his head.

"Tourists have been bitten to death by animals in the past few days. I think some beasts may have come out of the mountains."

The tip of the pen paused, and Yu Qingshu looked up at him: "When did it happen?"

"Just a few days? I don't know the exact time."

"No one was bitten to death by wild animals." Yu Qingshu said indisputably, "A tourist died in the woods, but he was not bitten to death by wild animals."

"Is that a sudden illness?"

Yu Qingshu flicked his wrist impatiently: "Murdered."

Luo Binhan retracted the finger that teased Leo.He stared at Yu Qingshu with an unnatural smile.

"There's nothing to make a fuss about." Yu Qingshu checked the list she made, "People die every day in this world."

"Not everyone who dies is murder." Luo Binhan asked himself softly, "How did this happen?"

He wasn't asking about the dead man, but his mother didn't know who had lied to him. "It must have been murder," she said curtly. "The death was unnatural, not a gun, nor the usual knives."

"Who is dead?"

"A tourist from other places. The police are still checking his social relations, but it seems that things are not going well."

Luo Binhan did not ask how Yu Qingshu knew these details.In most people's lives, a murder close at hand is still a big news, especially in a closed place like Regenberger, this kind of news will spread like wildfire, not to mention his mother has another A set of information channels at work.

He didn't think Yu Qingshu would make a mistake about this kind of thing, so the information Yu Xiaorong told him the day before yesterday was wrong.And this kind of mistake, he can almost conclude that it will not be an unintentional mistake.Yu Xiaorong lied to him about a murder, which was not a good sign for reassurance.

Yu Qingshu finished checking the shopping list she made, and added a few items at the end, then raised her head in satisfaction and asked him, "What are you going to buy?"

There was a slight change in her expression, and Luo Binhan immediately knew that he must not have concealed it well enough.

"I can't stand murder every day," he grumbled. "And does that mean you're going to be working overtime?"

"Don't say something stupid." His mother condemned, "Have you thought about what to buy?"

"Mom," Luo Binhan pointed out seriously, "someone died."

"First, people die every day." Yu Qingshu said calmly, "Second, I want to take annual leave. Third, don't put on a show for me."

She grabbed Luo Binhan by the ear and went out to the garage.Luo Binhan feigned pain, so Yu Qingshu quickly let go.Once she turned on the car radio, the tragic murder in the woods was completely forgotten.Luo Binhan sat alone in the back row, his reflection on the car window frowning at him.

They had already missed the town's traditional weekly farmers' market and the old shops, heading straight for the biggest shopping street in the city.Yu Qingshu tore off the second half of her list written in Chinese, and asked Luo Binhan to pick fruits and vegetables as requested. He did a good job, but made a small mistake in identifying rhubarb and gooseberries.

"Gooseberries." He muttered unconvinced, "I still wonder when you soaked chestnuts in vinegar."

Yu Qingshu knocked on his forehead: "You ate it when you were young."

"Yes, but at that time you said it was called lantern fruit." Luo Binhan argued, "It doesn't look like a chestnut at all!"

His views were not adopted.His mother personally picked two large bags of gooseberries, so many that Luo Binhan wondered if it was a waste.This fruit was not so delicious in his memory.

"This is the amount Mal wants." Yu Qingshu picked out the fruit carefully, "He uses it for desserts and jams. Your sister also likes to eat this."

"I found that both she and Mal like to eat cold and sour things." Luo Binhan concluded with confusion, "sour berries, iced lemon slices, cold yogurt...why? They never feel uncomfortable in the stomach?"

"do not ask me."

"Let's go buy some chili noodles and mix it in jam." Luo Binhan suggested sinisterly, "See how they react."

Yu Qingshu slapped him on the forehead again, but then they really went to the Asian supermarket to buy a lot of spices and sauces.Luo Binhan could see that this was probably prepared for a family hot pot feast—the strange thing was that Yu Xiaorong was not against hot pot, she would dip all the food out of the hot pot with ice cubes or smoothies—maybe It was the night before he left Regenberg. He had missed New Years or Christmas several times.Especially when Yu Qingshu asked him what he wanted to eat, Luo Binhan suddenly felt embarrassed, as if he was suddenly regarded as a seven or eight-year-old child again.

"Don't we have a shopping list?" he said with feigned composure. "Anything we missed?"

Yu Qingshu said nothing more.She looked at his facial features carefully, and there were some unspoken words in her eyes.She didn't have to say it, but Luo Binhan seemed to have heard her say it: You really look alike.Many people have said so.Nan Mingguang said it.Zhou Yu also said it.

"We should go," he said. "Anything else to buy?"

For a short while, Yu Qingshu didn't seem to hear him speak, but was immersed in the memories of the past.She looked a little strange, and she became someone Luo Binhan didn't know well.But soon she was pulling the list from her pocket and checking each item.

"It's almost there. Let's go buy you some clothes."

"I have enough clothes."

Yu Qingshu looked at the jungle flower shirt on him with disdain.The irony has a double meaning, because although the clothes are worn by Robinson, the printed patterns are designed by Malcolm.

Someone sharing the shame kept Luo Binhan from blushing at this moment, but he still argued that he had decent clothes.He has too many suits or more serious casual clothes, and there is no need to go to those old-fashioned shops to have them tailored.In the end, Yu Qingshu gave up his idea and only picked out two socks for him to go with his leather shoes.

"No one will stare at my socks." Luo Binhan made ineffective resistance, "They probably don't even know what kind of pants I'm wearing."

"They just didn't mention it to you." Yu Qingshu asked with a sneer, "If you found out that your boss's trousers are not tied, would you tell him in front of a bunch of people?"

It's really a damning question.During the rest of the trip, Luo Binhan began to keep thinking about whether any employees had hinted at him with unusual eyes.And when they were out in the street, he had to refrain from looking at the zippers of other people's pants.

"At least I'm the boss." He comforted himself, "No one dares to laugh at me."

"Didn't you see how Liu Ling and I laughed at Stigler?" Yu Qingshu pointedly revealed, "There is no employee who doesn't talk about the boss."

Luo Binhan looked at her sadly, hoping to get some more positive encouragement.Yu Qingshu just told him that the sugar cane was not as sweet as the two ends, and then gave him a few gooseberries from the bag.This action reminded Luo Binhan that when he was sick in elementary school, when Yu Qingshu came to pick him up and went to the hospital, he also took out a few colorful candies from the bag like this.But that's not really sugar, it's some kind of drug.He doesn't remember how he knew it, maybe Zhou Yu said it.Zhou Yu seems to have understood a lot of medical knowledge that her peers did not understand when she was a child.

He mentioned this to Yu Qingshu and asked, "What's that medicine called?"

"Baota candy, used to repel insects. You had roundworms in your stomach at the time."

"I want to buy some more to try." Luo Binhan murmured.He himself didn't know why he had this idea.And just as he thought, Yu Qingshu scolded him softly: "What kind of medicine do you take if you are not sick!"

"But the taste seems to be good. Isn't there any candy with the drug ingredients removed?"

"It's just the most common powdered sugar." Yu Qingshu said, "At that time, there were few candies on the market, and I was afraid that you would eat too much sweet and get tooth decay. Who still eats this now? If you want to eat sweet, wait a while." Let's go get some ice cream."

"It makes sense." Luo Binhan said, pouring a few gooseberries from his palm into his mouth.He imagined and recalled himself in elementary school, following Yu Qingshu in the same way, happily stuffing the insect repellent wrapped in sugar coating into his mouth.But that sweetness had faded with time, and all that lingered in his mouth was the sour aftertaste of gooseberries.
