The train slowly drove into the platform, and through the window, you could see the crowd on the platform, which disappeared into the afterglow little by little. The hot and humid air seemed to penetrate the windows, dense small droplets of water crawled all over the glass, and the hot weather made the people waiting to get off in the carriage feel irritable, as if they were holding back a lot of grievances in their hearts, but they couldn't say it.

Lin Duo constantly wiped the sweat on her face, moving forward step by step in the crowd, her enthusiasm for City C disappeared little by little on this train, there are countless strange people in this strange city, countless strange people doing strange things, these Lin Duo are not afraid, the only thing she is afraid of is the process of coming here. In just a few hours on the way, it made her feel as if she had gone through a whole day, exhausting all her energy. Oh, and yes, there's this suitcase. Lin Duo lowered his head and looked at the box beside her, the heavy box was like a shackle, tied to her tightly.

Out of the station, Lin Duo took a big breath of the dull and humid air, passed through a group of people shouting loudly with hotel signs, ignored the taxi drivers who came up around him, and walked under the bus stop sign as if fleeing. She put the box up, looked back, and suddenly felt that the huge railway station, the rows of shops, and the bustling crowd revealed a sense of loneliness, just like this city, although prosperous, can not make people have the slightest attachment. At this time, the mobile phone rang, and it was a call from Meng He.

"Duo'er, have you arrived?"

"I'm here and I'm about to call you, by the way, are you out of school?"

"It's also the end of school, the last period is sports, you know, physical education classes in college, it's no different from school, where are you going to stay tonight? Don't live near the train station, there are a lot of bad people. ”

"Okay, you see what you said, there are so many bad guys in the world, besides, the security near the train station is stricter than elsewhere, and I am surrounded by police patrol cars. ”

"What you said makes sense, but I'm still a little worried, you arrange your own accommodation, just send me a video. ”

"Okay, I know, let's do it first, I'll be looking for a place to live, and I'll get back to you later. ”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Duo looked around, there were still many regular hotels, she planned to find a place to live nearby, settle herself first, and go to the interview early tomorrow morning.

Lin Duo walked into a chain hotel, went through the formalities, and came to his guest room. Lying on the bed, she exhaled a long breath, and the short hours on the train seemed to have drained her energy, which made her hungry and wanted to eat something, but she couldn't eat, as if she had something in her heart that made her not interested in anything else, and just like that, lying down, unconsciously falling asleep.

The high-pitched whistle of the train pierced the night sky, Lin Duo frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly felt a burning stomach, and a stream of sour water instantly overflowed from under his tongue. She quickly got up and ran into the bathroom.

Lin Duo spit out a mouthful of gastric juice into the washbasin, and the nausea feeling still stayed in the esophagus and could not fade away for a long time. She washed up, picked up a bottle of water on the bed and took a few sips, her empty stomach stimulated by the cold water, and the feeling of hunger became more and more intense. Lin Duo put on his handbag, got up and walked out.

The restaurant near the train station had closed, Lin Duo glanced at her watch, the time was 0:00, only some small supermarkets were still open during this time period, she bought some bread and water, and ate as she walked. The night in City C was quiet, the wide roads were deserted, and occasionally a car passed by, whistling farther and farther away until the glow of the headlights was swallowed up by darkness. The doors of the surrounding shops are closed, and the street lamps cast a dim light on the ground, reflecting the tired appearance of the city. In this city, no matter how noisy it is during the day, how many disputes and hatreds there are, they all disappear at night, as if the whole world has disappeared, as if it is a dead planet in the universe.

Lin Duo walked up to the overpass, fell on the railing and ate the last bite of bread, drank the last drop of water in the bottle, and looked at the bottom of the overpass in a daze. This southern city was her first stop after graduating from university, and although she didn't know if she could find a satisfying job here for her major, she still had an urge to try it here, and the combination of yearning and hope gave her a sense of openness. Lin Duo looked at the night sky in the distance, the air in City C had been affected by haze for a long time, the night sky was depressed and dim, the stars were tens of thousands of light years away, and the bright and divine light could not be projected on the earth. The only thing you can see is the fantasy of the stars in your heart. Lin Duo's inner longing for this fresh city is also the fear in her heart, she is a newly graduated girl who came to this strange city alone, like a clear spring flowing into the river, the future is unknown and full of uncertainties. A hot wind blew, and it made her shiver a little. In such an environment and mentality, she can only go on step by step by relying on the chicken soup for the soul of those spiritual victory methods. She took out her mobile phone, clicked on the memo and looked at it carefully, which recorded dozens of work locations and contact information, which she had found on the Internet in advance. Before coming here, she was well prepared. Lin Duo looked around, looked at the city at night with some confusion, and turned around and walked off the overpass.
