130 Vintage Popcorn Maker
(This chapter is easy to dizzy, and you don't dare to ride the roller coaster carefully.) Although the author is as timid as a sesame seed, he has no choice but to have a big brain, and he can't find anything to make up for a while~)
One evening, on his way back to school from the cake shop, Qu Nanxiu took a detour to try his luck at another newsstand because he couldn't buy the latest issue of neuroscience magazines at the newsstand.
When walking through the alleys, I suddenly heard a "bang", and some of the pedestrians nearby were startled, and some craned their necks to look around to see if it was the familiar picture in their childhood memories.
The surprise brought by the "bang" of traditional popcorn has remained in the childhood memories of several generations, including Qu Nanxiu's.
Compared with the first-tier cities, the economic development of his hometown is relatively lagging behind, when he was young, the children in the big cities were drinking milk and eating chocolate, and for him who was still drinking stick noodle porridge, the popcorn fried by this machine was still a luxury.
Still, he always felt that he was the best place in the world.
Following the prestige, I saw an uncle squatting in the corner, tinkering with an old-fashioned popcorn machine, such a nostalgic machine is hard to see.
The uncle was very cheerful, and chatted with the passers-by around him while operating.
He said that the eldest daughter had already been married and did not have to worry about it anymore; the younger daughter had been a student since she was a child, and when she grew up, she was really a golden phoenix that flew out of the chicken coop and was admitted to a university in Beijing.
In order to take better care of their youngest daughter and to see her often, the two of them simply came to Beijing together, relying on a tricycle to walk the streets and alleys, selling popcorn for their daughter to go to college.
The girl is still studying in the hot accounting major, and I heard that it is very easy to find a job after graduation, and she can manage the accounts of the boss's company, and at that time, their family's life will be much better. Then again, when a family is together, no matter how bitter the days are, they are sweet.
The talkative uncle was full of longing, and even Qu Nanxiu was happy for him when he listened. regrets that if you listen to too many stories, you will inevitably accumulate negative energy, and the uncle is full of positive energy.
Seeing the contents of the transparent plastic bag on the handlebars of the tricycle, Xiaoqu asked excitedly, "Uncle, is this a rice cake?"
"Yes, young man, will you have a few pieces?"
"Ten rice cakes and five popcorns!"
"Okay!"
Qu Nanxiu wants his roommates to taste their childhood.
The uncle had boiled the sugar into syrup beforehand, poured it into a basin with rice, stirred it quickly, poured it into a wooden frame, and smoothed it with a board. After cooling, use a knife to cut the rice cake into pieces that are sweet and delicious.
It's not too hygienic, but not everyone pays attention to it.
The aroma is overflowing, and there are more people waiting to buy it next to it. The black converter is roasting on the roaring fire, and joy and anticipation rise in people's hearts.
Luo Renyan, who was far away in the secret laboratory, in order to be able to sense the changes of the mysterious bubbles around Qu Nanxiu's cranial nerves in time, and also to ensure his personal safety, specially made a sensor chip and pasted it on his wrist in the appearance of a tattoo.
Xiaoqu's situation, if he goes to the hospital, the hospital can't find out, he can't explain it to others, and he doesn't want to expose his high-precision equipment and secret laboratory for the time being, so he can only keep a close eye on him by himself. This is one of the things he has been worried about lately.
And at this moment, the sensor chip on the wrist emitted a faint warning green light.
"Not good!"
Luo Renyan threw down the things in his hand and sat down in front of the monitor at the speed of light.
Shake hurriedly asked, "Professor, what's wrong?"
Luo Renyan didn't have time to answer, but the anxiety on her face was successfully read by her, and Sha Sha was emotionally infected, and she became anxious.
Judging from the changes in the data on the screen, two or three bubbles are abnormally inflated, and they are about to touch Qu Nanxiu's cranial nerves. The illusion is about to reappear, but I hope Xiaoqu is in a safe place at the moment, and it is good that there is no excesses!
"Shake, call Xiaoqu!"
"Yes!"
"Hello, your number was unanswered......
Because at this time, Qu Nanxiu couldn't hear the mobile phone ringing.
Fire, his eyes were already full of burning fire!
Somehow, the fire spread from under the popcorn machine to the whole heaven and earth! Thanks to the brief but familiar white light, he was already in a sea of fire!
Qu Nanxiu, who once again incarnated as Tu Tian, looked around and was infected by a sad emotion.
Visually, this is not a small town, an inn broke out of fire, fire protection measures are not in place, the fire quickly spread to the entire town. Suddenly, mourning was everywhere, and the people helped the old and the young to flee in all directions.
With 2.0 vision, he noticed a figure that was unusually sluggish in the rapidly retreating crowd. Recognize it at a glance, isn't that the blind girl you saw after entering the illusion last time!
Why is the hallucinations still divided into two episodes?
The same question comes to mind: why can all the people in the illusion see clearly, but this woman's face is like a veil, and she can't see it really, only the general and delicate outline?
Judging by the way she walked and the bamboo cane in her hand, you can know that she is still blind, but when she first met her in a fantasy a long time ago, although she couldn't see her face clearly, her eyes were good at that time, what happened in between?
It is precisely because of blindness that people's sense of hearing and smell will be particularly sensitive, so she is also oriented in the right direction.
Seeing her walking so slowly, Qu Nanxiu was very anxious and wanted to step forward to help.
But something even stranger happened: he reached out, but he couldn't do anything but watch her walk slowly past him. This time in the illusion, he was just a passerby.
Suddenly, the blind girl stopped, and unbelievably turned back towards the fire!
The people who were busy running for their lives didn't care where she was going or why she was going against the grain, only Qu Nanxiu's eyes followed her closely, and her heart was also taken away by her, feeling an inexplicable familiarity and heartache.
At the base of a wall that was about to collapse, I saw her fumbling and pulling up a little girl who was about to cry hoarsely, and desperately dragged her forward: "Be good, go with my sister, it's too late if you don't leave!"
The little girl cried stubbornly: "No, I want a mother, woo woo woo-"
But in the vast sea of fire, where can I find her mother?!
Rao's opportunity to escape was so precious, the blind girl still squatted down and patiently persuaded: "My sister can't see with her eyes, so she can't hold you, but your mother must be waiting for you in a safe place, let's go find her, okay?"
The little girl obediently took her hand and ran out, invisibly acting as the blind girl's eyes. But one of them is blind, the other is young, and after all, they are still surrounded by fire!
At last, there was no way out, and they were about to die in the flames! The blind girl protected the little girl with her body, and the two of them curled up helplessly in the middle of the ring of fire!
Qu Nanxiu, who couldn't tell whether it was illusion or real, went crazy, and he suddenly felt that he was willing to exchange his life for hers. This must be someone who is very important to him!
But when I stretched out my hand, I still couldn't pull anything, as if I was just a ghost floating by, and it seemed like I was watching a 4D movie. Everything is so realistic, but I can't affect anyone or anything.
Apparently someone is more anxious than him.
In the chaos, a man dressed in white floated by, and instead of running for his life, he kept raising a huge water bladder, that is, an old cowhide fire extinguisher, to control the fire around him!
It's him again! Qu Nanxiu was full of curiosity and affection for this white-robed Yue Yunze of the jade tree, but the iceberg-like cold temperament exuded by that person made him daunting.
Xiaoqu, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, has never had this kind of heartfelt awe for anyone.
The fire was finally extinguished.
A couple frantically searched for something, and when they saw their little daughter curled up in the crook of the blind girl's arms, they couldn't help but cry bitterly.
After thanking the little girl's father for his kindness, his expression suddenly changed, and he pointed to the blind girl and stammered, "You, you are not the one, the eye, the ...... that the eye can't see."
Suddenly, his knees "plopped" and he fell to his knees, ignoring the rubble on the ground, and sobbed his mouth one after another and cried: "Girl, I really shouldn't have thrown away your bamboo cane that day, my conscience let the dog eat it!"
Qu Nanxiu also recognized it, this is the guy who was beaten by himself, and he also patronized the police station for this reason. The seamless crossing of reality and fantasy is simply stunning.
"What? You did such a hurtful thing to a girl who couldn't see in her eyes!"
The man's wife took off her shoes and beat him hard with the soles of them. The blind girl hurriedly stretched out her hand and groped to stop it: "It doesn't matter, everyone is fine." ”
"Good girl, auntie will lead you away!"
The fleeing people helped the old and the young to rush to the foot of the mountain, Qu Nanxiu found that the white-clothed Yue Yunze was gone, and the girl was not at ease if there was no one to protect him, so he also followed.
The woman inquired about anyone else in the blind girl's house, and when she heard that she was alone, she eagerly offered to give her a family affair.
Speaking of the man he found for the girl, although he had a lot of money, when he was already in his eighties, Qu Nanxiu's lungs were about to explode.
Fortunately, the blind woman withdrew her hand from the woman's hand: "Don't bother. ”
"Don't miss the opportunity, don't miss it again, good girl, why don't you think about it again?"
At that moment, someone stopped in front of them and raised his hand to signal the woman to go first.
The woman looked up and was shocked: "Then you chat, the aunt will leave first, take care!"
As he spoke, he dragged the child and drove her husband away.
Who else but herself? The blind girl thought about it, hey, maybe this is just an excuse that people don't want to be dragged down by themselves.
As soon as she took a step, she tripped over the stone that had bypassed the bamboo cane in the ground, and fell to the side. For people who can't see, falls are commonplace.
The moment she fell, two hands held her arm steadily!
This help, as if there was a bright light, "squeak" tore open a gap, shining into the blind girl's heart.
This support also set off waves in Qu Nanxiu's heart, making his blood surge, and he couldn't sit still anymore.
He didn't understand why he was desperate to push away the man in white who touched the blind girl!
