Chapter 1: The Downpour
On the day I came to Shenzhen, it was pouring rain in the sky, and the rain was really amazing. As soon as a few people got off the train, their feet just touched the road, and they thundered, and in an instant turned their hands into clouds, and covered their hands into rain, and the rain came down like this, and the three interns hurriedly got into the bus and went to Donglin Engine Manufacturing Company. Xu Yunlin also wanted to appreciate the cityscape of Shenzhen, opened the window and just showed the gap, the rain whipped like a whip, Yunlin hurriedly closed the window, only to hear the thunder, the car was hit by the raindrops countless times, so that the passengers were frightened. The bus was also blurred, staggering forward, rain from the roof down the glass down, the water behind also flowed down the ravine, countless ravines converged and blended, and after a while occupied the whole glass, the outside was white and vast, and nothing else could be seen.
The three of them curled up in their seats, looking at each other's worried faces. The car was as quiet as stagnant water, and the passengers listened to the roar of the rain in a daze, Li Ting simply took out MP3 from her bag and listened to the music, regardless of the storm. Zhang Yuhan curled his mouth, his eyes blinked, as if he was thinking about something, only Yun Lin was still very excited, and every time the thunder roared, his body trembled. The car brushed back and forth with the rain pouring down, but the outside was still gray, and only the rain like arrows could be faintly seen. The buses were moving slower and slower, and the rain seemed to be spilling over the wheels.
"This rain won't last all day, right?" Li Ting, who was wearing earplugs, shocked everyone. Everyone's eyes were on this girl with slightly wrapped hair, wearing a suspender gown, and a beautiful face. Li Ting shyly took off her headphones and lowered her head.
"Who knows? But it's certain that the rain won't stop for a while. A young man in a shirt accosted.
"Shenzhen hasn't had such rain for several years. A middle-aged man answered.
"The newspaper said that it was not a typhoon that passed through, and I didn't expect it to be so violent. A girl said.
"Obediently, the house on the other side of Nanshan collapsed. ”
"What's the name of this typhoon?"
"It seems to be called Xiali. ”
The car box suddenly became lively, and everyone talked about it, and it was endless. Yunlin couldn't imagine that Shenzhen people were so open, talking to him like a homely conversation, and he didn't care that each other was strangers. They are also good listeners and keen to have their say. Suddenly, the car shook violently, and the passenger's body fell to the side. Li Ting fell into Yunlin's arms, Xu Yunlin hugged Li Ting and said that he was not afraid. The driver turned around and said, "I'm sorry, gentlemen and sisters, the car broke down, can you get off the bus?" The driver said: "I have an umbrella here, please ask a beautiful boy to get off the bus first, to pick up the passengers, and there will be a bus to pick you up." Everyone stopped complaining, and when a passenger took an umbrella and walked to the door, as soon as the door opened, the rain whipped in, making the passenger with the umbrella retreat. Xu Yunlin bravely rushed out of the car and walked to the parking lot, he saw an old gentleman with luggage and frosted temples, walking to the car with difficulty, Yulin didn't care about the trousers wet by the rain, and came to the door again, he smiled and took the old man's luggage, held the old gentleman with one hand, and carried the luggage with the other, and successfully sent the old man to the parking lot. He began to pick up another passenger, and one after another the passengers walked to the parking lot. Yun Lin's whole body was soaked, everyone was worried about this young man, but Yun Lin gloated, Li Ting handed him a towel, and said angrily:
"It's all a soup chicken, and I'm smiling so brightly. ”
"I'm so happy to have chosen Shenzhen. ”
The rain was still violent, and the showers shot out like countless arrows. There seems to be a curtain of rain hanging in front of people's eyes. The rain followed the strong wind, one after another, and fell on the road that was already half a meter deep. The car moved forward slowly, like a boat on the water, the thunder gradually thinned out, but the wind was still roaring, blowing through the rain-stained passengers, but the passengers did not care about the wind, staring blankly at the rain, with worry written on their faces. In an instant, the thunder roared again, the wind exerted its power again, the rain hit the object, and the rooster crowed, like a song of rain, and it entered the climax. The wind tore over shop signs and tents, ruffled people's clothes, ruffled girls' hair, and blew away people's packages. The rain is even more ruthless, whipping everything in the world, it splashes bursts of mist, the mist spreads, the white expanse outside, the sky seems to be falling, from the high-rise buildings continue to fall clothes, signs, and even flower pots, the water depth of the road is nearly 1 meter, and the flowers and plants on the road seem to enter the store.
The rain had been falling for a few hours, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping, and the thunder had stopped, but the wind and rain remained the same. The bus was delayed, and the driver kept apologizing to the passengers: "I'm sorry for delaying everyone's time." The passenger also understood: "It's not your fault, it's raining so hard, how can the car come so quickly." "The road surface has become a veritable river, with signs, sticks and plastic bags.
"Look, that TV. A passenger shouted pointing to the street, and everyone followed his hand to see a color TV slip out of the shelf in front of the store and be about to flow into the river. The clerks rushed out of the store and braved the rain to rescue the TV. "Is there a flood in Shenzhen?" Li Ting asked everyone.
"Will there be floods in Shenzhen? I have only heard of floods in Chongqing and Jiujiang, but I have never heard of floods in Shenzhen?" Zhang Yuhan asked rhetorically.
"Don't worry, little girl, this is just a rainstorm, and there will be no flooding in Shenzhen. A young man wearing a Nike jacket dispelled Li Ting's concerns.
The rain gradually subsided, but it was very lingering, and the bus was late, and the driver asked everyone to get on the bus. Everyone got into the car in an orderly manner, as if they had returned to warm swaddling clothes, the car was still moving slowly, and it was still stormy outside. The passengers were much more familiar and talked more.
"Everyone knows each other in this rain, it belongs to a kind of fate, and now it's boring, I'll come up with a charade to liven up the atmosphere. The old gentleman with frosted temples said that the passenger agreed.
"There's a dog next to the grass. What is it?" asked the old gentleman. Everyone began to meditate, and after a while, a teenager in a T-shirt said:
"It's not easy, isn't it just guessing the word. ”
"Clever. The old gentleman praised him, "Then I'll give you another one, listen well, one word has nine mouths, which is rare in the world." Everyone began to think.
"This is too hard to guess, there are tens of thousands of Chinese characters, which character has nine mouths?" the young man in the Nike suit seemed to not want to participate.
"Is it a character?" a little girl was serious.
"There are three, and there are six?" said the old gentleman, looking at her.
"It's Tianzi, right?" Yun Lin said.
"There are four mouths. The old gentleman said, but Yun Lin did not agree to take out a piece of paper and a pen, walked in front of the old gentleman, counted to the old gentleman, and was actually counted by him 9 mouths, but the old gentleman shook his head, Yun Lin returned to his seat in disappointment, and the car drove for a while, but no one guessed the word fan. The old gentleman said: "This character is the name of a general of the Three Kingdoms. ”
"Cao Cao. Zhang Yuhan blurted out. The old gentleman nodded, and everyone asked the old gentleman to say another one. The old gentleman thought for a moment and said:
"Then I'll have a difficult point, ten women plough half of the field. ”
"Is it Japanese?" said the driver.
"It's not. The old gentleman denied it.
"Isn't the Japanese character half of the field?" the driver asked arguedly.
"How do you explain the ten women?" the old gentleman replied, everyone fell into thought again, the car drove for a long time, and some of the passengers guessed the word of the time, and some guessed the word Shen, but they were all denied by the old gentleman, "What do men call women?" the old gentleman reminded.
"It's called pretty girl, is it a pretty word or a sister word?" said the boy in the Nike T-shirt, and the old gentleman shook his head.
"Call your wife. A middle-aged man replied, causing bursts of laughter from the passengers.
"Almost, keep thinking. The old gentleman said with a smile. Everyone got into thinking again.
