A long time passed, and after the acid rain that lasted for three days stopped, the cold winter ended. The golden crow, which had not appeared in the past year, rose into the sky, and the temperature also increased between day and night.

The four seasons cycle, and early spring is like a bud growing underground. As soon as it emerges, it is scorched by the scorching sun and wilts in an instant.

The trading market put up its awnings.

The Taoist priest of Xianfeng Daogu and the woman with a beautiful face were sitting behind a stall with talismans, turtle shells, and bamboo sticks.

"Xiaoyue, how many times is it now?" Mingming, who was wearing a Taoist robe, rolled up his sleeves and picked up a cattail leaf fan to fan him and Chi Yue.

Because he didn't like being controlled, he resigned from the breeding farm at the end of last month. After leaving, he started working in his old business, setting up a table and setting up a stall to tell people's fortunes and sell peace charms.

Chi Yue, who had been resting for a while, happened to have nothing to do, so she thought of learning a few tricks from him and came over together.

"35 degrees."

Chi Yue picked up the thermos cup on the table.

Using the cover of the tablecloth, she poured Coke mixed with ice cubes into two glasses, shook it a few times, and handed it to Mingming.

"It went up three more degrees."

Mingming took a couple of sips of iced Coke to cool down, and looked at the people who came to buy supplies.

Then he said to Chi Yue: "On such a hot day, there are not many people going out for shopping. Let's stay at home in the afternoon."

Chi Yue responded: "Okay."

She tied her hair up again and was about to pick up a brush and practice drawing peace charms on white paper when two beautifully dressed women in dresses walked up to their stall.

The woman wearing sunglasses picked up a peace charm, looked at it, and then asked Mingzhang: "How many points do you need for fortune telling?"

"160."

"Then you do the math for me."

Mingming tightened the lid of the thermos cup, motioned the two women to sit on the stool, and took a note to write down her birth date.

He carefully calculated: "Your destiny is above average, and you will have great luck at the age of 28..."

"What about marriage?" The girl in sunglasses paid more attention to marriage and was not very interested in other aspects: "How long will it take for me to get married?"

"If you don't succeed this year, you will be 29." Mingming emphasized her feelings: "I suggest you find someone 2-5 years older than you."

"Can someone younger than me make it?"

"It can't be done."

The girl in sunglasses was silent for a moment.

The woman in the white dress next to her said: "Sister, I always believe that man can conquer nature. Don't let his words affect your judgment."

"I know it well." The woman in sunglasses took out her resident card and paid 160 points, thanked her, and walked back.

The woman in the white skirt hurriedly caught up with her, but even though she was some distance away, she could still hear her words: "Fortune tellers are all liars!"

There was obviously no reaction.

He crossed his legs leisurely, but Chi Yue glanced at the girl in the white dress: "Why do I feel like she has no good intentions?"

There is nothing wrong with just listening to what the woman in the white dress said about man being able to conquer nature. After all, not everyone is willing to listen to, believe in, or follow the fortune teller's advice.

But when she heard "It can't be done," her facial expression changed slightly, and she looked nervous and panicked.

Mingzhang smiled: "You're pretty good at judging people."

"A little worse than you." Chi Yue raised her lips slyly and asked curiously: "What will happen if she talks about a younger man?"

"Half a life of misery." "...Is it so serious?"

"Well, her choice is very important." There are many forked roads in life, and different choices will lead to different endings.

Chi Yue understood.

She put down the pen and drew the symbols on the paper, watching the black ink on the tip of the pen gradually wet the paper, and didn't think about the girl in sunglasses anymore.

Two customers arrived one after another. After Mingming told them their fortunes and read their signatures, he and Chi Yue packed up the items in the stall and walked towards the second area carrying the square table and plastic stool.

They returned to Building C1 under the scorching sun.

While waiting for the elevator, Mingming crushed a "cockroach" dangling by his feet. He was about to wrap it up in a tissue and throw it away when he suddenly realized something was wrong: "It's actually a ladybug?"

"Don't touch it!"

Chi Yue slapped his arm fiercely.

She looked at the ladybug, which was similar in size to a cockroach and had a long mouthpart. Her breathing suddenly became rapid and her face turned pale.

Mingming, who had not yet touched the ladybug, turned to look at Chi Yue who slapped his arm vigorously.

Her frightened look made him look serious, and he subconsciously stepped back: "Is there something wrong with Ladybug?"

Chi Yue kept taking deep breaths.

She clenched her trembling hands, stretched out her toes to kick the unmoving ladybug, and then carefully observed its feet and mouth. She found that it was only different in size and mouthparts. The heart in her throat, Just let it go a little bit.

"It seems to be fine." She opened her satchel and took out the glass jar and chopsticks from the space: "Master Ming, can you put it up? When I get close to it, I feel uncomfortable all over."

The shadow of the insect plague in her previous life was really hard to erase. She could still remember the pain of being eaten by insects but being unable to do anything about it, and the despair of life being worse than death.

Mingming picked up the ladybug and put it into a glass jar.

He tightened the lid, his eyes lingered on Chi Yue's pale cheek, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, it is already dead."

"Well." Chi Yue's tight back slowly relaxed and she no longer looked at the glass jar: "Let's go upstairs first."

Take the elevator to the eighth floor.

She carried the table and stool and walked with Mingzhang to 824. She guessed that he was confused about her lapse just now, so he simply used it as a dream to talk about the insect plague that killed countless people.

Mingming is a qualified listener.

Rao could see her fear and judged that the scene was not like a misty dream, and he had no intention of delving into it.

Just ask: "You mean, insects will use the human body as a breeding ground? Will they wait until they suck out the flesh and blood before they change hosts?"

"Correct."

"During the process of sucking, its body shape will definitely change. Can its range of activities under the skin be seen with the naked eye?"

“You can’t see it in the early stage, but you can only find it under the skin when it absorbs to a certain extent.”

Chi Yue gave him an example of the host he saw in his "dream" and mentioned the ladybug: "I'm not sure whether the current insects have the ability to suck flesh and blood. You can take it to the office area in the afternoon and hand it over to the official." Check it out?"

If there is really a problem with floating insects, the first person to discover the problem will definitely be known to the authorities.

It was really inconvenient for her to deal with the authorities.

Clearly and clearly.

He agreed and looked at the lifeless ladybug through the glass jar with a solemn expression, without saying a word for a long time.
