Chapter 1 Where Did Dad Go?
"Dad!!", with an exclamation, Wang Xiaoer woke up from his dream in a sweat. In the dream, my father just smiled at him, but he was getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried to catch up, and the distance was still getting farther and farther until he woke up.
This is the first time to have such a dream, I don't know if it means anything, Wang Xiaoer thought with palpitations, and at the same time picked up his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to confirm his father's safety, but it was only 6:00 at first glance, this time is considered early even for his retired father, although sometimes his father will get up early for a walk, that is only when his father has insomnia, and he is usually sleeping at this time. It's just that for myself who is drifting north, it's almost time to get up, to be precise, the alarm clock time is 6:10 every weekday. While putting down the phone, he wiped his forehead with his other hand, looked at the sweat on his hands, and even though he was awake, his heartbeat was still heavy, as if someone was beating a drum in his chest. Although the alarm clock had not yet sounded, Wang Xiaoer, who could no longer sleep, sat up straight and leaned heavily on the head of the bed. It took a while to calm down a bit, but he was still panting.
"Ring, ring, ring!", the familiar alarm sound of the mobile phone interrupted Wang Xiaoer's thoughts in the nightmare just now. Although I knew that the first sound of the alarm clock was the usual time to get up at work at 6:10, I still instinctively looked at the phone, and at the same time that the phone rang the alarm clock, the screen also displayed the prompt information set by myself when setting the alarm clock: "Wang Xiaoer, get up and pick up customers!"
"Wang Xiaoer's real name is Wang Qihu, this name was given by his father, and he hoped that Wang Xiaoer would be as knowledgeable as Qian Qihu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and at the same time contribute to the country, so he was called Wang Qihu, but Wang Xiaoer preferred the name Xiaoer, because when he was young, he studied hard to satisfy his father, although he didn't like it, so it was more like serving his father. Dad has been a worker all his life, Wang Xiaoer's parents divorced as soon as he was born, he has lived with his father since he was a child, and he has no savings at home.
On the one hand, I don't want to add even a little pressure to my father, and on the other hand, I have been used to relying on myself since I was a child. To put it bluntly, because I am poor, I repeat my work day after day, but this is not life at all, at least not the life I imagined. Of course, at work, it is for the boss and customer service, so I simply called myself Xiao Er, not Wang waiter, because I feel that the four words are both verbose and low, and the words of three words are low at most. Work is all about "picking up customers", which is of course a self-deprecating statement. Everywhere you go, you serve others, when will you have your own life? Wang Xiaoer often thinks like this.
"If you don't get up, you'll be late!" It wasn't until the second alarm clock that the state of all kinds of thoughts mixed together was completely cut off, because it was really late. Wang Xiaoer, who instantly contained the thoughts flying everywhere, jumped out of bed, went out after an emergency wash, and ran to Shahe Station of Beijing Metro Line 1, which he hated but had to go to.
Wang Xiaoer's major in college was not a computer major, and later entered the IT field after the training of the training class for the development of programming in the society, although he did not graduate from this major, but fortunately, he worked hard enough during the training and study, which allowed him to gain a foothold in this industry. You must know that this industry recruits countless students every year under the gimmick of high salaries and employment, and after charging a lot of training fees, there are also a large number of unemployed trainees after graduation. After a lot of hard work and experience in many projects, Wang Xiaoer worked in a small IT company in Zhongguancun, but lived in Shahe Town, which continues north from Xierqi.
Originally, the geographical location is very close, although you need to reverse the subway once, but there are few stations in total, and it is enough to go out to the company within 30 minutes, and IT companies generally work from 9:00 to 9:30. But usually in the morning of work, which is commonly known as the morning rush hour, if you don't go out before 6:30, you can't catch the subway, to be precise, you can't get on the subway, because the number of Beijing's Beipiao army is too much, all of them are young people who dream of coming to Beijing, just queuing up during the morning rush hour, in the case of a double queue at all the boarding gates and a queue of more than 10 meters per row, each arriving subway can not get on a few people, and most of the time even can only go up to single-digit passengers.
Because from the starting station, the subway is full of people, and it is a people-friendly station. When no one gets out of the car, there is really no way to squeeze people anymore. I can only wait for the next car again and again, during which there are more and more people in line, and there are those who come to cut in line late, which makes the already bad riding environment even worse, because as long as someone drives this head, there will be a succession of imitators. What is bitter is those who queue up in the north in a regular manner, waiting for the bus until they are late. This is only a non-transfer station, and the situation is even more serious if it is a transfer station.
"Sure enough, there are more alarm clocks and the effect is good!", Wang Xiaoer thought to himself. I lived not too far from the subway, and after a total of 5 minutes of washing at the speed of light, I ran to the subway station with a bump, and finally arrived at the subway station at 6:28 at the end of the line, and I had to go to the subway station before 6:30. After waiting for two subways, I finally squeezed in and stuck behind many of the North Drifters who had been stuck in the carriage, and of course there were other North Drifters behind me. When queuing, Wang Xiaoer brought headphones, because this time on the road is his own, and he can listen to his favorite things unbridled, listen to songs, cross talk, etc. After-work time also needs to be used for studying, and cannot be "wasted" on entertainment.
Wang Xiaoer's hobbies are extensive, in addition to listening to songs and cross talk, he also likes to study all kinds of strange things, such as Morse codes, such as human acupuncture point diagrams, meridian diagrams, he likes to study, and can even memorize them backwards. The prompt information of his usual computer password is composed of the points and horizontals of the Morse password, in his own words: "Life is boring enough, you should surprise yourself from time to time, or it would be better if it could be a surprise, so that you can have the motivation to continue!"
Soon the subway arrived at Zhuxinzhuang Station, which is a transfer station, and there are not many people who get off the train, but fortunately, there are some, double-digit people who go down, and then three-digit people pour in, Wang Xiaoer, who is listening to the song, feels a sense of relaxation just for a second- It was a short gap when someone got off the train and everyone gave up the gap back and forth to the people who got off the car, followed by the weight of thousands of pounds squeezed over, accompanied by the howl of the passengers in the entire carriage, a large wave of passengers squeezed up, like a wave hitting the carriage, and the carriage door needed to be closed and adjusted for a period of time to restore calm.
The passengers who just squeezed up all had to take a deep breath, hold it, and wait for the door to close before they dared to exhale, and at the same time, the rebound of the passengers who were already in the car clinged to the door of the bus just now. In this process, it is normal to collide with each other, Wang Xiaoer can feel that there is a slightly sharp thing like a corner of a satchel behind him just touched himself, this is not a big deal, he didn't take it to heart, but soon he was stunned, because this thing that touched him was very rhythmic, not accidental, it was obviously intentional by its owner, and what shocked him even more was that this rhythm happened to be the Morse code.
"Is this a coincidence?" Wang Xiaoer thought to himself. Wang Xiaoer pretended to be dissatisfied and glanced back, it turned out to be a long-haired beauty who had just touched herself with her satchel. This beauty used one corner of the bag to squeeze Wang Xiaoer's back for 2 seconds after Wang Xiaoer turned around, clicked again, clicked again, and then squeezed Wang Xiaoer's back for a little longer with the horn just now for 2 seconds, squeezed it for 2 seconds after taking it away, and squeezed it for 2 seconds after taking it away. The movements of the beauty during the whole process were extremely subtle, so that no one else in the entire carriage found it except Wang Xiaoer. "Dot, S, horizontal, O", Wang Xiaoer thought silently in his heart, and sure enough, before Wang Xiaoer's thoughts disappeared, the bag clicked Wang Xiaoer's back three more times, and then the backpack completely left Wang Xiaoer's back. "Did, S, SOS, she's asking me for help?"
This time Wang Xiaoer was even more puzzled, he took out his mobile phone, pretended to cut songs, and flipped through the music list page with his mobile phone, but in fact, he observed the back through the reflection of the black part of the upper part of the mobile phone. Directly behind him was the beautiful woman who had just sent him a distress signal, and there were two people on the left and right sides of the beauty, these two people were very distinctive, both were tall and strong, and their height was between 185 and 195, one was bald, and there was a small flame tattoo on the outside of the right side of the face behind the upper ear. The other should also be bald, but because he hasn't taken care of his hair for too long, he has now grown very short hair, the length of the hairstyle with a flat head, and there is a skull tattoo on the tiger's mouth on his right hand, because he is holding his mobile phone to read the news, and at the same time frowning, it seems that there is some bad news. Because of their size, the two of them stood out in the entire subway car like two big trees growing from a field of green onions.
I don't know if it's Wang Xiaoer, who is a prank by the people behind, cut a song at random, put the phone back in the inner pocket of his jacket, and at the same time use his back to follow the shaking rhythm of the subway car, slowly touching the back, and sure enough, he touched the corner of a bag, Wang Xiaoer's movements were very slow, but to distinguish the difference between the point and the horizontal in the back, and not let others find out that he was deliberate, so he touched the corner of the bag for a full 2 seconds before leaving and leaning over again for another 2 seconds, because he was afraid that the people behind would not be able to tell whether this was a point or a horizontal, so Wang Xiaoer immediately left his back and leaned over for 4 seconds, and then left for another 4 seconds,After two more 2 seconds,"Dot and dot and horizontal dots, is it in the Morse code? (question mark)", the beauty obviously understood, and used the corner of this bag again to signal, "Dot, dot, dot, SOS, it seems that it's right, she read my doubts, and she is indeed asking me for help, but what should I do?" He is only 170 centimeters, less than 120 pounds, these two strong men are not ordinary people at first glance, looking at the standing posture seems to be from a military background, very capable, even if they are not themselves, they don't have the confidence to be positive and tough. ”
"Hello dear passengers, arrive at the station of the Institute of Life Sciences in front of you", Wang Xiaoer was thinking in his heart, and the sound of the subway station sounded, reminding Wang Xiaoer, " Yes, the next stop is the Life Science Institute Station followed by the Xierqi Station, the Life Science Institute Station generally gets off the train not much, but the number of people on the train is not necessarily, because it is only one stop away from the Xierqi Transfer Station and the terminal station of Line 1, many people choose to walk over or go to Xierqi Station through other less painful ways, so the number of people on the train at the Academy of Life Sciences is always sometimes more and sometimes less, if there are more people on the train, maybe it can really be! If it really doesn't work, don't blame me, after all, I can't do much! Wang Xiaoer thought to himself.
At the same time, as the train began to slow down, Wang Xiaoer turned around, facing the door, and at the same time, he was also facing the beauty, but there was no eye contact, he secretly observed the situation of these people, and he didn't dare to be too obvious, so he could only pretend to look around to observe these people when he looked at the outside of the door. "I really don't see anything when I look at it this way. Although it does look very strong and tall, how can anyone hijack people to get on the subway in the morning rush hour? Is this crazy, or is he not afraid of others finding out at all? Although countless slots cannot be spit out, it should be regarded as the spice of life!" Thinking so in his heart, he looked outside the subway at the same time, at this time Wang Xiaoer was in front of three beautiful women standing side by side in front of him, and outside the subway was a crowd of black pressure queuing, which was completely different from the usual situation at this station. "What's going on? Why is it not normal everywhere today?" With this thought in my heart, the warning sound that the door of the carriage was about to open at the station, "Drip, Drip, Drip".
"Borrow it, I'll get out of the car!", Wang Xiaoer said to the strong man in front of him, the strong man turned sideways to give way to a gap of one person, and at the same time the door opened, and the people outside the door lined up in four rows to crowd at the door, fortunately, there was a gap in the middle of the four rows of teams that had been drifting back and forth between one person wide and half a person wide, and the passengers waiting for the car at the door seemed to be unable to wait for the urge to pounce on the people in the carriage to get off.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoer suddenly exerted his strength when he passed by the beauty, and his left hand put his arm around the waist of the beauty and pushed it out at the same time, and at the same time he ran down with an arrow, at this time, the two strong men at the door did not expect this scene to happen suddenly, one of them was still facing away from the door, and the strong man on the side instinctively reached out to grab it, wanting to catch the beauty back, but this was obviously prepared, and a stretch of hand was not enough to reach the person, and the two of them had already rushed into the black pressure of the queue.
The crowd waiting at the door seemed to be unable to wait any longer, and after seeing someone get off the train, they instantly squeezed up. Half a person's wide space was filled in an instant, when the two strong men in the carriage reacted, they were just about to squeeze off the car and were squeezed into the deeper part of the subway car by the crowd at the door, it can be seen that the two people have a lot of strength, in the process of squeezing out of the carriage, a large group of passengers at the door of the carriage squeezed on the car even had a momentary stop of action, almost squeezed out by the force in the carriage, the passengers who queued back in the back did not know why, they still desperately pushed the whole team to squeeze on the car, even if they couldn't get up, they could squeeze more people in front of the queue to get on the train, and the next train was more advanced by themselves, and the probability of getting on the train was greater。 As a result, the people who were crowded in the middle by the strong man and the ungotten part of the queue directly shouted and scolded one by one, "The one inside goes inside!", "Don't be blind TM squeezed in the back"......
It wasn't until everyone saw a relatively petite girl who was directly squeezed by too much force and fainted directly, that the strong man with the tattoo on his hand opened his mouth and whispered to the bald head: "Okay, don't squeeze, don't make trouble at this time, we just received the news, let's go back to the headquarters immediately!", the bald head asked: "What about that woman? , Flathead said: "It's okay, she can't run" said, the flat-headed man shook his phone, and a green map background was cut to the screen, and there was a yellow flashing dot on the last one that was moving in a flash.
It appears to be a GPS tracking device. "Besides, don't you see so many people coming up from this station? There is our No. 2 research base near here, and so many people are coming up at this time, which means that... The flat-headed man didn't wait for him to finish, and the bald man answered: "Something's wrong?" , flat-headed man: "Well, it's obvious, it is estimated that these people are fleeing for their lives, something must have happened! "Then why do you have to take the subway?" The bald man meant obviously, if he changed to any other means of transportation, this kind of thing would not have happened, and the flat-headed man directly waved his hand to interrupt him, indicating that he was on the subway, and it was inconvenient to explain that there were many people.
The bald man is no longer entangled. "Anyway, I'm just carrying out escort tasks.,It's not up to you to decide what kind of transportation to take.,The consequences naturally don't have to be borne by yourself.,At least this possible risk has already been reported when you receive the task.,The above said don't think about it so much.,Then don't think about it.,This really doesn't blame us.,But there's no such a person with headphones and a computer bag on the data?" The bald man thought to himself and fell into deep thought.
Wang Xiaoer took this beautiful woman with a single satchel on her body until she ran out of the subway station, and kept passing through the crowded queue until the train left, and then stopped under a big tree on the side of the main road outside the platform, Wang Xiaoer gasped and said intermittently, "I'm ~ called Wang Xiao~ Er, what do you ~ call me?"
When the beauty heard his name, she was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes rolled and she said without panting: "My name is Mu Dahai", "Huh?" , Mu Dahai saw Wang Xiaoer's confusion and explained: "Because when my father named me, he said that I lacked water in the five elements, so I called it the sea, and there is a lot of water!", Wang Xiaoer said with a black line on his face: "This~, okay, what a strange name!" The beauty said: "Shouldn't you pay attention to what is going on? "Hahahaha, it's all weird, it's all weird!" Wang Xiaoer leaned against the big tree and slowed down, and the high tension caused by the whole process just now began to ease a little, as if if it was more strange to focus on the strange behavior of the name than to pay attention to what was going on, it would be lost, and it was also strange to emphasize it.
"Thank you for today's events, if you have the opportunity to see you again, I will tell you in detail, but now I don't have time!", Wang Xiaoer couldn't make any reaction, and the beauty ran away. Wang Xiaoer found out that this Mu Dahai's physical strength is really good, this smoke is really a smoke, and he doesn't stop running, it seems that the acceleration time of ordinary sports students can't last long, and if he is at a constant speed, he can't maintain much speed, this Mu Dahai is obviously different from ordinary people, he runs fast and stable and durable, and there is really a faint wisp of smoke behind him that is not easy to find and then blown away by the wind. "Wow, it's so long-lasting!" Wang Xiaoer looked in the direction of Mu Dahai's running in a daze, this Mu Dahai kept running along the main road until he was out of sight, and his speed did not change. "And the special effects are full marks!" Wang Xiaoer recalled the wisp of smoke behind Mu Dahai just now, and muttered in his mouth.
