Chapter 48: We Shall All Look for the Light
Promi pulled the brown wine and walked back, the dim light dragging their shadows for a long time. They didn't pedal bicycles, and they walked for more than half an hour to get out of the slum of Thirty-Nine Streets.
Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and Promi noticed that the figure seemed to be sneaking around behind them again. Promi immediately became vigilant, and looked around as he walked, but found nothing unusual.
"Let's get out of here on our bikes. ”
Promi said, stepping on the bike, and let Brown Wine Quan also sit on the back seat of the bike. Just a few laps later, Promi heard a brown wine crank, and the body of the bicycle swayed from side to side. Promi looked back and couldn't see the brown wine punch anymore.
He quickly stopped the car and saw that Brown Wine was pulled down by a dark-skinned pauper and sat on the ground, and the man was about to pounce on him.
"Hey!"
Promi let out a loud shout. While the paple man turned his head and hesitated, Promi rushed over quickly, flew up and kicked him to the side. The pauper crooked, fell to the ground, and rolled around. The poor do not have enough to eat, and their bodies are generally weak.
Promi often plays basketball in the Salt World, and after the shuttle starts, he eats well in the Salt World. So the sensitivity of the body, the strength of the muscles, etc., are very good. It's no problem to deal with the emaciated, dark-skinned pauper. It is estimated that you can play three or four at a time.
Thinking that Zi Yiluo often distributed free meal packs to the poor, but was bitten and infected by the poor who had an epidemic and faced death. Promi's heart was full of fire, and she wanted to go up and kick that person a few more times.
However, Promi thought that that person might just be a simple poor person, just thinking about grabbing some money or something, and it might not be the poor person with the epidemic. There's no point in beating him up again.
So, Promi resisted his anger and helped Brown Wine Quan up, and did not bother with the poor man again.
"Did that person bite you?" Promi asked Brown Wine Quan with concern.
"No, it's good that you arrived in time. Brown Wine Quan said.
Promi didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly pedaled his bicycle again and left with Brown Wine Quan. As they were about to leave the slum, they were confronted by a car from the 39th Street Sanitation Management Committee branch.
If there is no accident, Zi Yiluo will soon take the black tonic and leave without pain.
"Let's go sit on the banks of the Roy River on Thirty-fifth Street, I don't want to go back and be alone. Brown Wine Quan said. Promi's mood is also not calm and he doesn't want to go home. So, he and Brown Wine Quan went to the Roy River on Thirty-fifth Street.
It's not a slum, the streets are wide and bright, and along the riverbank, there are quite a few people strolling. Promi and Brown Wine Quan walked to the bank of the river, and sure enough, the plum blossoms on the bank had already bloomed, not very much, just dotted with stars, and the small white petals were very inconspicuous, but there was a faint fragrance.
The two men sat side by side on the bank of the river, neither of them speaking. The waters of the Loi River flowed silently, without sound. In the deep blue sky, dotted with stars.
After a long time, Brown Wine Quan suddenly asked, "Promi, do you say, will there be another world?" Zi Yiluo left this world and went to another world?"
"Yes. ”
Promi nodded, and said, "There must be another world." There is no pain, there is no dark world. ”
Brown Wine Quan continued, "I believe that there must be." Because I have obviously dreamed that in another world, there is another me, who is with Zi Yiluo every day and lives a happy life......"
Promi listened silently, without speaking. He looked up, the dark blue sky, like a huge curtain, and the twinkling stars, as if they were small holes in the curtain, revealed a little bit of light, as if behind the dark blue curtain, a world full of light.
The disease-free world disappointed Promi a little, but the salty world he was in was also unsatisfactory. Perhaps, there will really be another world, a world full of light.
"Promi, I remembered a poem. Brown Wine Quan said.
"What poem?" asked Promi.
"The night gave me black eyes, and I used him to find the light. ”
"Hmm. Promi nodded silently and said, "We're all going to look for the light." ”
When he returned to his room at night, Promi couldn't sleep for a long time. He sketched on his easel the scene he had seen in the evening. Zi Yiluo's hair was scattered and she fell on the side of the road, her body was wearing a pale red coat, and her skin looked very white. In the distance, the afterglow of the sun that has just set. The dark-skinned paupers gathered around her, silently watching her. Zi Yiluo's eyes were closed peacefully, and her face was beautiful.
Promi painted for a long time and didn't go to bed until very late. He was thinking that in order to survive in this other world, the first rule is: never forget to take health and epidemic prevention supplements. This can be said to be the first article of the Otherworldly Shuttle Survival Manual. Of course, Promi didn't write it down, he just wrote it down silently in his heart.
The next day, in Youyan World, when Luo Sixiu was about to return to Guiyuandong Village, where he lived, after getting off work, he saw a taekwondo club on the street, and he went in without hesitation to sign up. Although he doesn't have much time every day, he still has to learn. Luo Sixiu thought that he was in the slums of the disease-free world, and he was almost attacked by the poor, but fortunately, he often played basketball in the salt world, and his physical reaction was not too bad.
He has to study hard, and what he learned in the world of salt can be used in the world without disease. He didn't want to be attacked there. Violence is the last defense.
Most of the students in the Taekwondo Club are younger than Luo Sixiu, but Luo Sixiu doesn't care. He didn't learn this to be handsome, but to really use it. At the beginning, he had to press the ligament, which Luo Sixiu had never pressed before, and it was very painful when he pressed it, but he tried his best to endure it, and he was still trying to learn various leg techniques.
When he returned to his room in the evening, he practiced some more physical movements for himself, including push-ups and planks. It wasn't until late that he was ready to go to bed.
"If you don't sleep, you can't stop shuttling. ”
Luo Sixiu thought, instead of lying down as usual, he leaned against the edge of the bed with his knees hugged, hoping to stay up all night and no longer shuttle to the disease-free world. Zi Yiluo's departure made Luo Sixiu very devastated.
I don't know how long I stayed up, it seemed to be more than two o'clock in the middle of the night, and Luo Sixiu hadn't slept yet, but he was very sleepy. It's just a little effort, and I shuttle back to the disease-free world again.
Before going to work, Promi recalled it in his room again, and basically remembered the movements he learned in the Taekwondo Club of the Salt World before. Moreover, Promi in the disease-free world has no bad physical fitness, but he didn't pay attention to exercise before. Now, Promi has begun to consciously exercise his body, and he also takes physical tonic every day, which is still very effective.
A few days later, I came back from work in the evening, and it happened that Proyue also came back and was watching TV. Seeing that Promi was back, Proyue said to him again: "Brother, Red Moss has released a new song, called "Love Story", which is very good." I love her style of music. Alas, when am I going to release such a hit single?"
"Haha, they're singers. Besides, do you know why she has so many good songs?" asked Promi casually.
"Ah, why?" asked Proyue, with wide eyes, curious.
