Volume 1 The New Guest in the City Chapter 11 When Will the Lost Leaves Come Home
Countless autumn leaves fall quietly, and the yellow rain is mixed with wordless desolation. The short-haired girl looked up, caught a fallen leaf with her hand, and looked at it carefully. She managed to stop the fallen leaves from falling to the ground, but she couldn't get them back up the tree.
In this world, are there many people like these dead leaves every day? After endless hard work, they lose their value and become "dead leaves" and are ruthlessly discarded. The short-haired girl was thinking, and suddenly a trace of fear flashed in her heart.
"Sister, you see those fallen leaves just like that, it's a pity, why does the big tree have to be like this?"
Looking at her sister's worried expression, my sister understood what the reason was. The teacher told them the reason for the fallen leaves of the trees, but when the younger sister insisted on asking, the older sister smiled and explained in a serious manner.
"Because in the winter, the trees don't need them anymore. During the winter, they are a burden to the tree, so the tree decides to abandon them to ensure that it can survive better. ”
"But ......"
"Don't worry, little fool, no matter how many years have passed, my sister will not abandon you. If one day, when you can't do anything for your sister anymore, your sister will always be by your side and do anything for you in turn. ”
My sister stared blankly into her sister's eyes, her eyes full of anticipation. In the end, she believed that her sister's words were true, and she always believed in her sister's promise.
"Even if we are separated one day, my sister will do her best to find you again, my sister promises. ”
Under the leafy trees, two young girls hugged each other and painted a warm painting on a bleak autumn day.
"Are you really leaving?"
Early in the morning, when the flow of people and traffic was not even coherent, Nangong Yu got up. She decided to leave Boss Wu's house, this time, she no longer planned to come back, she had to leave Boss Wu and go as far as possible.
It is dangerous for anyone to be close to Nangong Yu.
However, leaving Boss Wu is also a difficult choice for Nangong Yu, because once she leaves Boss Wu, she will lose a shelter and a support. But the dead country must have noticed her because of what happened during this time, and she had to leave before she was discovered.
"Hmm. Nangong Yu nodded calmly, in fact, his heart was as if he was hanging in the air.
"Where are you going without this?"
“......”
After being silent for a long time, Nangong Yu looked at the sky and suddenly laughed.
"Boss Wu, do you know? I used to have a very happy and harmonious family, and I liked my family very much, especially my sister. After that, I also told you that for some reason, we were forced to wander. Nangong Yu paused, looking very relaxed, "So I've long been used to the wandering life, don't worry, I can live well." ”
Boss Wu was silent suddenly, and he didn't know what his mood was at this time, no matter what, his mood must be relatively low.
"Then, if you have time, be sure to come back to the bookstore, you are always welcome in my bookstore. ”
Nangong Yu nodded lightly and reluctantly took a few steps back. At this time, a voice sounded in Nangong Yu's head: "If you want to go, be resolute." ”
Yes, you should be resolute, you can't continue to worry about it, it will affect him. Nangong Yu thought about it and quickly turned around and ran, but once again heard Boss Wu's voice.
"Wait, or something......
"No, I've been taken care of a lot by you, thank you. Nangong Yutou didn't reply, just stopped, "I'll come back to see you, in short, goodbye." ”
The petite figure gradually disappeared into the corner of the street in the distance, and the gray cement slab was full of fallen leaves, setting off the lonely figure of Boss Wu, sprinkling a loneliness all over the earth.
Finally, it's one person again.
The top brass of Black Lake City received a case that after receiving a report, a bomb detonator disguised as a lighter was found in the toilet of a train. And, in one of the suitcases, they found a special bomb, and after investigation, it was found that the detonator was the detonator of this bomb.
Such bombs are difficult to detect, and there have been several terrorist attacks in which they have appeared. It is noteworthy that the place where they found the bomb was in the carriage of the deputy mayor who was heading to "Takayama City", and the location of the discovery was near the seat of the deputy mayor.
If the bomb explodes, the deputy mayor will surely die.
And after this incident appeared, even if the government tried its best to hide it, it still could not prevent some insiders from revealing the matter. Subsequently, naturally, some people involved the "white-haired" radicals in this incident, and as a result, the management of the "white-haired people" was once again pushed to the forefront.
"In Black Lake City, there are still eighty percent of white-haired people who belong to the homeless population, and I think this matter needs to be discussed. At a meeting of the Black Lake city government, a councillor said.
The Black Lake City Government has done a lot to deal with white-haired people, but every time it is not satisfactory.
"In my opinion, we should guarantee the safety of the black-haired people and expel the white-haired people. One lawmaker continued, "You should know that black-haired people have more prospects and hopes than white-haired people. If the white-haired are put in possible danger in order to protect the white-haired person, then all this is in vain.
Moreover, there are a large number of white-haired people in Black Lake City, and everyone should know that more than 90% of the dead country are white-haired people, and there must be potential spies in our city. ”
As soon as the words ended, the entire conference room exploded, and the whole situation seemed to start to fall in favor of the councilor. It wasn't until one of the councillors next to the mayor raised his hand that everyone fell silent.
He is the councilor who mentioned to the mayor in the last meeting that Black Lake City was suspected of discovering a white-haired girl related to the natural disaster in Weidun City.
"I disagree. ”
These few short words suddenly ignited the "lead" of the conference room like a spark, and everyone began to talk again. He understood very well why everyone had such a reaction, after all, he would also be implicated in the expulsion of the white-haired man.
But he himself was not opposed for this reason.
After coughing a few times, the crowd fell silent again, quietly listening to his explanation.
"Yes, it is true that there are more than ninety percent of the white-haired people in the dead country. But you must know that on this continent, there is only one country that has died, and there are countless cities.
There are a huge number of white-haired people in Black Lake City, but I am sure that 99% of the white-haired people are innocent. Moreover, there are a large number of white-haired people who have integrated into society, and after the eviction officially begins, it will definitely have a great impact on Black Lake City.
Besides, who knows if one day you will become gray-haired too?"
After that, the parliamentarian's gaze was on the previous member who had spoken, and he knew that the councillor had no ill intentions, but just wanted to refute it and express his opinion.
"So do you have any strategy?" the lawmakers asked.
"Concentration camps. Looking at the somewhat astonished crowd, he continued, "It's not the dark concentration camp you think, or it's a literal concentration camp. Demarcate an area for those who are not registered and untrusted for gray hair, while others are trusted for laissez-faire integration. However, those white-haired people still need to focus on "taking care". ”
With that, the room was silent for a second, and then someone spoke again.
"It's amazing that these words can come out of your mouth. ”
"Maybe it will be a little useful......"
"Wait!"
With a shout, the crowd fell silent again, looking at the first member of parliament to speak.
"How do we know if the white-haired people who are concentrated will rebel? Or if some people feel that they are not free and feel that they are being treated differently and resist it? Doesn't concentration give them a good space?"
The voice fell, and the voice of doubt sounded again. Just when the meeting was at a loss, the questioning councillor looked at the mayor beside him.
"Mayor, you'd rather have your say. He whispered.
The mayor was stunned for a moment, looked at everyone as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then sighed. At that moment, the councillor immediately understood what the mayor was thinking.
That girl, yes, the same girl who saved him that night.
"Well, Mayor, maybe that's a delusion. How could it be that a weak girl took a stone and knocked a few thugs unconscious and walked away, maybe you were mistaken. The councillor laughed.
"No, I'm thinking about this incident, it must have something to do with that girl. ”
Everyone was stunned, and suddenly most of them couldn't figure out why the mayor said this.
The mayor would say that, and there is indeed a reason. After all, no one noticed the assassination at all, and the detonator was intact even if it was immersed in water, and the murderer could have pressed the detonator to succeed. But in the end, the killer actually threw away the detonator, and the bomb was still on the train.
If the murderer finds out with his conscience, or does not dare to do it, he will not be stupid enough to leave the tools of the crime at the scene of the crime, which really doesn't make sense.
Of course, there is also speculation that the murderer tried to detonate the bomb in the toilet, but the hand slipped and the detonator fell into the ditch, and then got out of the car and forgot the suitcase.
Anyway, it's a strange thing, and there's a 70% chance it has something to do with that girl.
"That girl, we really need to find her. ”
In a park that has gradually become bleak due to autumn, Nangong Yu sits on a stone pier under a large tree with fallen leaves. The wind blows, the dead leaves fly, and the Nangong rain bathes in the fallen leaves, as quiet as a stone statue.
"Remembering those uncomfortable pasts again?"
Xiao Jing approached Nangong Yu quietly, and when Nangong Yu found her, she was already smiling and sitting beside her to speak. As usual, Xiao Jing was still wearing shorts and a long-sleeved sweatshirt out of season, while Nangong Yu was still wearing a skirt, but she was already wearing stockings.
"Stay away from me. Nangong Yu said coldly.
"Hey, what are you going to do in the future?
Xiao Jing said and began to poke Nangong Yu's slightly fleshy cheek with her hand, which made Nangong Yu feel very unhappy, so she took a deep breath and said, "Get away." ”
"Oh, why have you become so cold now?" Xiao Jing said and leaned over even more presumptuously, "Since the natural disaster in Weidun City, you have completely changed as a person, and you used to always joke with me strangely......"
"Hiss - you can't settle your hand a little, and if you move up a centimeter, your hand will be cut off. ”
Listening to Nangong Yu's threat, Xiao Jing's gaze gradually moved up, and following Nangong Yu's raised hand, she found that Nangong Yu was staring at her with a bright utility knife.
"Wow wow, wow, you're serious, okay, okay, let's stop playing, but we're really worried about you, after all...... It is...... We'd love to say something about it...... Yes......"
Before Xiao Jing finished speaking, Nangong Yu turned her face away and ignored her, but stared intently at the fallen leaves on the ground.
In Nangong Yu's eyes, it was abandoned.
No matter how much she had done for the tree, she was one of the countless leaves, and its departure was irrelevant. When she rots helplessly, the selfish tree will only look indifferently. For a large tree, as long as it can keep itself, then it can produce more leaves.
"Look at the lush green leaves, they will shelter from the wind and rain, they will provide the trees with nourishment to live, they will give everything to the big trees. Nangong Yu finally began to take the initiative to talk, "But in the end, the big tree will still abandon them, it's sad, isn't it?"
Looking at Nangong Yu's reddened eyes, Xiao Jing immediately understood the current situation, so she smiled and looked very optimistic: "But the abandoned leaves will fall into the soil, and use the last of their strength to provide nourishment for the trees until they disappear completely, isn't it great?"
What's more, they eventually decay, are absorbed by the trees, and only reintegrate with the trees. They're just with the tree in a different way, and you only see the surface, really. ”
As soon as the words fell, Nangong Yu showed an uneasy look, which seemed to be the excitement after feeling the warmth, and the worry of being afraid of loss.
"We really didn't abandon you, we were all waiting for you. Xiao Jing said with an oath.
These innocent words, like flowing water through a net, passed through the hurdles in Nangong Yu's heart and broke into the deepest part of her heart. They reached the cage, the cage that held her inside, and gave her some hope in her despair.
Suddenly, Nangong Yu remembered something and sneered.
"Hmph, you swear that you will not abandon me, so explain what happened at that time, where were you when I was most desperate?"
"Then ......" Xiao Jing was anxious, for a while, she was speechless, completely devoid of her calmness, "That time was really an accident, you believe me...... I really wanted to go to you...... But...... I...... You believe me......"
"Heh......"
Nangong Yu stood up and turned away coldly, but after taking a few steps, he turned around and glanced at Xiao Jing, who stood up and wanted to chase and stop.
If it weren't for that look, Xiao Jing might continue to be helpless, but the look she cast had already told Xiao Jing in the dark - she already roughly understood Xiao Jing and the "Bad Boy Alliance". It's just that she still can't let go of everything that happened at that time and can't forgive herself.
"Hey! Xiao Jing thrust her waist and sighed.
In the falling leaves in the sky, the petite white figure walked in the gray world, and gradually disappeared into the street corner in the bleak and bitter atmosphere. A dead leaf fell to the root of the tree, gradually turning black and rotting, but now it knew that it was not abandoned, but reunited with the tree.
