About This Novel

In the early morning of Jingzhe, when Cheng Yanqiu was wiping the pendulum of the clock with deerskin, his fingertips hit a ball of cold blue light. The light traveled along the gears to the clock face, and displayed a line of small words on the glass: "At three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the awl of Lao Chen of the shoe repair stall will pierce the time." The next day, when he saw with his own eyes the footprints of the original owner on Lao Chen's mended leather shoes, the old watchmaker finally believed that the gamma burst that the observatory called a "cosmic sneeze" three years ago was penetrating into life in the form of quantum aftermath. Cheng Xiaoman discovered the frozen chirping of summer cicadas in the freezer of a convenience store. The courier Xiao Wang rode an electric bicycle through the water without wet marks on his tires. The stethoscope of the community doctor could hear the heartbeat of the patient's childhood... These tiny supernatural powers are like dandelion seeds, growing quietly in the old streets. Cheng Yanqiu used the precision of a watchmaker to record the energy fluctuation cycle for each person with special abilities; Cheng Xiaoman used short videos to record their daily life: helping the elderly find lost memory fragments, using plant language to predict the path of typhoons, and letting the shadows of stray cats spell out notices to find their owners on the wall. When the official inspection vehicle stopped at the alley, the grandfather and grandson were helping the pancake stall owner calibrate the thermal resonance of the iron plate. Cheng Yanqiu rubbed the growing quantum cloud in the clock and understood that this gift from the universe was never an anomaly that needed to be registered, but the gentle ripples of stars falling on the human world. On a rainy night, the quantum fields of all the superpowers connected into a blue light network. Cheng Xiaoman saw in the center of the light network that distant galaxies were passing through the aftermath. He gently asked: Is the temperature of civilization hidden in the most ordinary daily life?
