Chapter 8: Homecoming
"Thirty-five yuan in total, is it Weiwei or Zhixiaobao?" the taxi driver turned his head and said, Li Ci took out a hundred-yuan bill and said, "Cash." ”
The driver was a little surprised, took the cash and said, "I didn't expect you young people to use cash now, fortunately I have some change, otherwise I really can't find it." ”
Li Ci took the cash he found, smiled and said, "The phone just ran out of battery, but fortunately I brought the cash, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go home." ”
The taxi went away, and Li Ci walked into the community. What used to be a high-end community is now a little old, and an uncle at the guard at the door sits in it bored and plays with his mobile phone, and can't help laughing from time to time.
Li Ci walked to the door of a unit, looked up at the floor, and then opened the large iron door that was hidden and walked upstairs. The lights in the corridor lit up layer by layer, and Li Ci's footsteps finally stopped on the fifth floor.
501, this is Li Ci's former home. Li Ci touched the lower end of the handrail of the wooden staircase for a while and found a key. The key did not rust because of the passage of time, and after Li Ci played with the key in his hand for a while, he inserted the key into the door lock. "Click!", the security door slowly opened.
Since he was a child, Li Ci's parents have cultivated the habit of Li Ci's independence, and when he was in elementary school, Li Ci took the car to and from school alone. However, Li Ci has the problem of losing everything, and often forgets to bring the key when he goes out. It happened that Li Ci found a small hole at the lower end of the escalator at the door of his house, so in order to avoid being scolded by his parents, Li Ci quietly hid the key to the door inside.
Looking at the open door, Li Ci breathed a sigh of relief. After leaving home for many years, Li Ci walked in and was not sure if the home was still there, but fortunately the home was intact and even the door was not changed.
I flicked the switch and the lights in the room glowed. Li Ci looked around roughly, and was very surprised, the room was spotless, and even the shoe cabinet at the door was full of brand-new slippers. Next to the TV in the living room is a photo taken by Li Ci when he was seven years old when he and his parents went to the zoo.
Everything was as good as ever, as if I had only been away from home for three or four days.
Li Ci put down his backpack and walked to his bedroom, which was the same as the living room. The clean quilt is neatly folded, the books on the bookshelf next to it are spotless, and the garbage can at the foot is covered with garbage bags.
Li Ci looked down at the key in his hand, making sure that he was not in the wrong place. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't figure it out, so Li Ci lay down on the bed and didn't think about these things. Even if you really go to the wrong place, and someone happens to hide the key in the same place as you, so what can you do? Can't you sleep here all night? Not to mention the living room, but with your previous photos, it is very unlikely that you will go to the wrong place.
I took a breath and the smell was familiar all around me. Li Ci was lying on the comfortable big bed, childhood memories came to mind little by little, and two lines of tears flowed out involuntarily.
When I woke up one night, the sun was already high and there was a noisy conversation from the roadside vendors not far away. In the past forty years, Li Ci has been a sword and sword, even if he has become a land immortal, many remnants of the Six Kingdoms have sent dead soldiers to assassinate him, and every night when he sleeps, he will wake up immediately at the slightest movement, and Taichu will always be at hand.
I looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table, and it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. It was natural to walk to the bathroom, just like the living room, where there was a freshly bought toothpaste, toothbrush and towel, and a pack of paper towels next to the toilet.
After cleaning up the three times and dividing them by two, Li Ci went out to buy breakfast. Since accidentally burning Boss Cao's kitchen and being beaten severely, Li Ci has never entered the kitchen again.
Naturally, the breakfast in the shop on the street could not be compared with the jade plate delicacies in the mansion of King Wu'an, but Li Ci still ate with relish. Looking at the streets where people come and go, the conversations between parents and children, the office workers hurrying by, the old man and the old lady bargaining with the shopkeepers, and the cars disappearing like flowing water, Li Ci felt a lot of vitality.
This kind of anger is different from the anger of the first peace of the world after the pacification of the Six Kingdoms, the peace of the world in the Six Kingdoms, just like the early spring after the cold winter slowly bloomed with vitality, but the frost of winter can still be seen in many places, how many people are injured at home, how many people are scattered and killed, how many women are waiting for the king to return, how many children are looking forward to the triumphant return of their fathers, and how many parents are waiting for their children to return home. Beneath this vitality is a bloody pain.
And the vitality that this society exudes now is the height of summer, and everything is developing vigorously, without the severe cold and frost left over from winter.
The world is peaceful, this is a good world.
Holding a baked cake in one hand and soy milk in the other, Li Ci walked leisurely on the sidewalk. Those who have experienced war and chaos can better know that peace is not easy to come by. The bustling crowd passed by Li Ci, and the chattering sound of Li Ci sounded particularly comfortable, since the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Rebellion until the Battle of Tianmen, Li Ci had never heard such a vibrant voice. After experiencing too much darkness and pain, Li Ci was particularly happy to be able to shoulder the straps so luxuriantly and vigorously.
After strolling all the way, it was not until noon that Li Ci ordered a few dishes in a restaurant and ate them deliciously, and then bought a belt of fruits by the way, and then returned home satisfied.
At home, Li Ci leaned on the sofa, his fingers constantly swiping the screen of his mobile phone. Last night, the taxi driver's words were vividly remembered, just as Song Xinsu accidentally said to himself: "In this new generation in the 21st century, there are still people who can't even use mobile phones?
Li Ci's understanding of mobile phones is also limited to Nokia's era, smart phones are a vague concept for Li Ci, Li Ci never imagined that one day mobile phones can realize many functions of computers.
Li Ci really doesn't know how to use smart phones, but Li Ci will use search software, after all, he used to have a computer, and for the parents who play computers, Li Ci's parents don't talk about games like other parents, but constantly guide Li Ci to use computers to learn.
As the saying goes, if you don't know how to ask Du Niang, you will jump off the building if you don't understand. Li Ci continued to learn how to use electronic payment on Du Niang, what is Weiwei, what is Zhi Xiaobao. An afternoon passed. Li Ci finally understood the situation of these two software, which can be said to be the most important software, and naturally downloaded and registered it, and bound the bank card.
The night was shrouded, Li Ci got up and stretched, and went out to eat. As a person who has never been in the kitchen, Li Ci will never cook in his life, even if he accompanied Xiaocaoer to Xirong when Li Ci stole a few sweet potatoes and made a fire and roasted them casually, the sweet potatoes were scorched on the outside and still raw on the inside, and the angry Xiaocaoer ate a bite and spit out, saying, "If you are eating what you made in the future, I will chop off this hand and feed it to the dog." ”
After eating a bowl of noodles casually, Li Ci successfully paid for the meal with a slight fee, and he was very proud in his heart.
