Chapter 2 Interact with youth often

See the future yourself?

If not, how can all this be explained?

In the picture of the old man getting off the train at the station, Mu Bai did not see his figure.

But the other passengers in the car in the picture ......

"It's all ......"

After looking around, his heart sank as if it had been tied to a stone.

On the left side of the car door sat a company white-collar worker, a college student pulling the armrest, and a hip-hop guy leaning against the car door listening to a song......

These are all consistent with the images in his mind of the old man getting out of the car.

People are all these people, and the difference is the time on the screen in the car, and the posture and demeanor of the passengers.

The clock ticked by.

Mu Bai didn't chat with the old man again.

He wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone right now.

The images that appeared in his mind inexplicably made him incapable of thinking about anything else.

He just wanted to wait until 7:38 to see if everything in front of him would match what he had in mind.

"Dear passengers, the Purple Pai Tower has arrived, please take your carry-on luggage and get off the bus from the right door, and the next stop is Taiping Lake ......"

The voice announcement on the subway sounded.

The old man stood up with his cane in his hand.

"Young man, goodbye when you are fated, don't work too hard in normal times, the body is the capital of the revolution......

After leaving such a sentence, the old man walked out of the right door with a cane in the way of the surrounding passengers.

The white-collar worker sitting on the left side of the door laughed and began typing on the screen of his phone.

The college student pulling the handrail raised his left hand and looked at his watch.

The hip-hop guy shook his head and kept "giao, giao" in his mouth.

The old man walked in the direction of the escalator, and the door closed.

Everything is the same as before.

The subway started again, and Mu Bai, who was standing, was in a state of disappointment.

His brow furrowed slightly.

He really didn't understand what it was all about......

It's a bit too fantastical......

As a teenager who grew up under the red flag, under the influence of nine years of compulsory education, Mu Bai can be regarded as a materialist, and he will never believe anything that deviates from science.

But what is happening now has directly impacted his worldview to a certain extent.

Inexplicably saw the future......

He took a deep breath and thought in his head.

Among the three sets of pictures I saw just now, the picture of the old man getting out of the car has been proven by facts.

The second set of pictures is the picture of the old man getting out of the subway and carving scratches on the cane with a file, according to the timeline, it should be after getting off the train.

"The old gentleman must have left the subway by now, right? Maybe he has carved that scratch on the ......."

The third set of pictures shows the old man entering the red light district with a beautiful girl at night......

Thinking of this picture, Mu Bai suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Even if the picture of getting off the subway has become a fact, even if it is assumed that the old man made a knife on the cane, after all, the neat scratches on the cane are man-made at first glance......

But the kind and amiable old man who helped himself would go into the red light district?

From the communication with the old man just now, Mu Bai has already equated the other party with a good person.

Will the elderly go into the red light district?

This is completely out of line with the image of the old man being helpful.

Even if people really want to go there, it's impossible to go to the hair salon street in the picture, according to the magnanimity of the old gentleman's dress, how can you have to be a young model instead of looking for a shampoo girl, right?

Besides...... People just said that they are already old, can they still work at the age of seventy?

Wait a minute......

Why can't you work at the age of seventy?

Mu Bai suddenly remembered that in the property of his community, there was an old man who was called the doorman Uncle Qin.

He had one of the few chats with Uncle Qin, the porter.

Once he praised Uncle Qin's excellent mental outlook, and he couldn't tell that he was an old man in his sixties at all, and then Uncle Qin replied with such a sentence-

"If you want to stay young forever, you have to interact with youth often. ”

At that time, Mu Bai didn't think anything of this, he just thought that Uncle Qin had always maintained a young mentality and was keen to communicate with young people.

It wasn't until later that he took a walk at night and saw Uncle Qin walking out of the hair salon opposite the community with a red face.

However, this only shows that the old man in his old age may indeed have the ability to interact with youth.

This does not mean that the old man who helped buy the ticket will do it.

From the old man helping to buy tickets before to the content of the chat later, Mu Bai firmly believes that such an old man will never mess around outside.

However, even if the old man does not go to the hair salon to interact with the youth, even if the dense scratches on the cane are not from the hands of the old man......

But everything in the first set of pictures was indeed seen by myself in advance!

"No, it shouldn't, it's too supernatural...... It's all an illusion, it's all an illusion......"

He was silently doing autosuggestion in his heart, but Mu Bai's subconscious had begun to tend to believe that he had indeed seen the future.

Shaking his head, he was ready to think about something else to divert his attention.

As soon as he put down the matter of seeing the old man's future, Mu Bai suddenly became uncomfortable.

He suddenly felt like his stomach was empty, and there seemed to be nothing in his stomach.

This feeling is called hunger.

But before going out, he also had breakfast to fill his stomach......

When Mu Bai realized that he was a little hungry, the idea of hunger was out of control and lingered in his heart.

He had a strange feeling because he was hungry like he hadn't felt before.

It's like being hungry for a week without getting a drop of water......

So hungry!

"I, Mu Bai, will starve to death!"

"Dead outside!"

"Jump off the rooftop!"

"You must not get off the bus early today!"

Three stops, and three more stops to the company...... Hold back! Buy something to eat on the way! If you get off the bus and go to eat now, you'll definitely be late for work!

"Dear passengers, Taiping Lake has arrived, please take your carry-on luggage and get off the train through the right door, and the next stop ......"

Mu Bai ran out of the car like a gale.

……

……

Located next to the Taipinghu subway station, Ba Bao Yan 24h self-service hot pot restaurant.

Although it is a hot pot restaurant that is open 24 hours a day, few people come to eat hot pot at seven or eight o'clock in the morning.

But at this time, there was a customer in the hot pot restaurant.

"It smells so good!"

In a window position, a young man in his early twenties was frantically devouring the ingredients like a starving ghost reincarnated.

The kind of hunger that suddenly hit just now made Mu Bai unable to control himself from looking for a place to eat.

It is human instinct to eat when he is hungry, and his current situation is to infinitely magnify this instinct.

Being able to see the picture of the future was something that shocked him before, but now he has no time to think about it.

He just wants to eat.

I was so hungry.

Mu Bai ate for a whole hour before he temporarily paused for a while because of the leader's phone.

Under the guise of a "severe cold", he took today's sick leave, and he began to eat again.

Second hour......

Third hour......

……

……

Mu Bai was particularly embarrassed now.

It's not that the large size only has fingers and no paper paper.

It's not about driving a mosaic version of the gourd baby.

It's not that when I called my girlfriend, the other party was out of breath and said that he was eating spicy noodles - he didn't have a girlfriend yet.

His embarrassment lies inβ€”

"Young man, it's not like we drove you away, but you've been eating for eight or nine hours since eight o'clock in the morning, and I think you should be full, right?"

Mu Bai, who was blushing with an old face, looked at the boss in front of him with some embarrassment.

Even if the boss's words revealed tactfulness, his expression was clearly a "if you don't leave, I'll cut you" expression.

He said with some confidence: "Aren't you open 24 hours?

"Brother, for nine hours, I ate a serving of ten people, which is not enough for you to eat? When you are full, you go to the toilet, and continue to eat after you are finished, if it weren't for your face, I would have kicked you out as a person sent by your peers to do things." The boss sarcastically said.

He swallowed his saliva: "What, boss, to be honest, your hot pot restaurant tastes really good, and I really haven't eaten enough, so ......"

"Can you pack here?"

The boss's brow furrowed tightly.

"Little brother, my words are too tactful, don't you understand?

Mu Bai said with a little emptiness: "I know and know, it's just ...... You see, I've only eaten half of this dish and haven't finished it yet...... Aren't you always emphasizing that you don't waste when you make a buffet?

The next boss's words made him instantly have a black line.

"Who told you you can't recycle?"

"It's not that you can't use it. ”

Mu Bai: "......"

I can't afford to provoke it.

Hearing the boss's words, Mu Bai, who was still trying to save money, went directly to most of his appetite.

……

……

At the beginning of the lanterns, the glow of the sun that still lingered on the horizon refused to disperse, and the afterglow reflected on the asphalt road, shining on the cheeks of passers-by.

Next to Taipinghu subway station.

Through mobile phone navigation, Mu Bai found a bakery near his home and bought a lot of bread, and then took the cash exchanged at the bakery to buy a subway ticket home.

On the way home, Mu Bai's heart was full of ups and downs.

When he got home, he couldn't ease up, even though the hunger pangs had mostly subsided.

The time he spent on the way from the hot pot restaurant was enough for him to figure out a lot of questions.

Eating bread with milk, Mu Bai frowned on the sofa and thought about all the strange things that happened today.

Images of the future popped into my mind, and then I began to go into a state of extreme hunger......

It seems that the eight poles can't fight together, but in his eyes, they are closely related.

It's just that he hasn't been able to find a way to tie the two together.

In addition to these two strange things, he had one more thing that he couldn't figure out.

From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., his mouth never rested for eight hours, and in those eight hours, he went to the bathroom seven or eight times.

He also appeared to have an abnormality in his digestive system.

By the time I finished eating all the big bags of bread I had bought home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

In the two hours after returning home, Mu Bai had been thinking about all the strange things that had happened today, but in the end he couldn't come up with a reason.

Although the hunger pangs were all gone, he decided to go to the hospital tomorrow to see a doctor.

Look at the body first, check if there is something wrong with the digestive system, and then ...... He was also going to see a psychiatrist.

He was already beginning to wonder if he was mentally ill.

Mu Bai, who had finished washing, was lying on the bed, looking at him on the ceiling, dazed.

"People say that when you are stressed at work, you will be cranky......"

"I'm a person who eats and waits for death in the company, so I don't have work pressure at all......"

Maybe it's because everything that happened today is really outrageous, Mu Bai, who was in a double exhaustion of body and spirit, quickly fell asleep.

He had a dream.

In the dream, the old man reappeared.
