Chapter 2: An Unusual Scorching Sun
The next morning, Ou Qian went out with his second brother, and before leaving, Ou Ping pulled Ou Qian and whispered: "Stay for a while, don't follow me to the adventure." ”
There are all kinds of people who come here, either adventurous or inverted. It's easy to make money, but you have to have a life.
"Brother, I'm fine." Ou Qian raised the worn iron rod in his hand, and his eyes were clear and firm. In the end, Ou Ping still didn't say much, first, the people outside were already urging, and he didn't have time to say anything more.
Then Ou Qian took the family's earth dog and went out with him.
As the sun slowly rose, a group of people walked farther and farther into the mountains, and the sun became more and more intense, and the temperature seemed to be higher than yesterday's.
"Take a break, boss, it's so hot that I'm going to get heat stroke." One of them said that the weather was really hot, and the farther and farther in the forest, the road was rugged, and the smell of the dirt was really unbearable.
"Take a break." The man with glasses opened his mouth, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and found a shady place to sit down.
The sun still hangs in the sky, no less powerful than yesterday.
Ou Qian saw the man with glasses walking towards Ou Ping, and he said, "How far is this from where we are going?" ”
Ou Ping glanced at the map, and then said: "I don't know the specifics, if this map is correct, there should be half a day." ”
"What do you mean?" The glasses man's eyes changed.
Faced with the other party's unkindness, Ou Pingdao replied nervously: "Although I am from the mountains, I don't often come to such a deep place, and this place is inaccessible, I don't know if this map is right, so, so." ”
Ou Ping didn't say what he said later, but everyone present understood what it meant, and the man with glasses looked a little complicated, and turned around to discuss something in a whisper with his own people.
Ou Ping turned around and walked towards Ou Qian, the only promise on his face just now disappeared, and he looked at Ou Qian with concern: "Drink more water, can you still stand it?" ”
"It's okay, it seems to be very hot today." Ou Qian waved the kettle in her hand, not knowing how far she had to go, so she was saving water.
Ou Ping glanced at Ou Qian's somewhat chapped lips, and his eyes flickered slightly, "Obedient, you can go back first, and I will lead the way here." ”
"Brother." Ou Qian's eyes were anxious, but Ou Ping ignored the little sister's eyes this time, and went directly to the glasses man and said: "Team leader, this weather is too hot, my sister is young, let her go back first, I will show you the way, and I will bring it to you later." ”
The glasses man glanced at Ou Qian over there, and he also heard that there was a little sister in this family who was also admitted to university. Seeing Ou Qian's delicate appearance, he thought of his little sister at home, and a trace of softness flashed in his heart, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's rest for a while and we'll go." ”
"Brother." Ou Qian looked at Ou Ping anxiously, she was better than Ou Ping in terms of skills, she was just worried.
"It's fine." Ou Ping took Ou Qian's hand, "Go back and wait for me, obedient." ”
Seeing Ou Qian's worried look, he reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "When you finish leading the way this time, your tuition should be enough." ”
"Brother." Ou Qian's eyes were red, she raised her head and watched Ou Ping leave without looking back, and stood alone for a while before turning to leave. In the Ou family, although there is a difficult old lady, fortunately she has met a good brother.
"Erbao, go follow the second brother." Ou Qian commanded the local dog raised at home, only to see the local dog walking around her and then going in the direction of Ou Ping.
The forest was extremely hot, and the smell of the soil became more and more unpleasant, and Ou Qian braved the scorching sun and walked out of the depths of the mountains step by step. It wasn't until she came out that she noticed the anomaly, and the time was supposed to be four o'clock in the afternoon, but the sun had been overhead, and there was no sign of setting.
What the hell is going on here? Could it be that he hallucinated from heat stroke, reached out and shook the kettle and found that there was no water, and finally had to dry his lips and continue to walk.
"Sister." Ou Dabao ran over, his head was covered with sweat, he handed the kettle in his hand to Ou Qian, and continued: "Sister, do you see this sun?" Since noon, he has not moved his position. There are rumors outside that the end is coming. Sister, do you know what the end is? ”
"Ahem." Ou Qian was surprised by Ou Dabao's words, the end of the world?
Although the topic of the end of this world has always been there, I have never seen anything, such as 2012, hasn't the earth also rotated for so long?
Ou Qian glanced at Ou Dabao, who wanted to know the answer, she slowly twisted the kettle and said, "These are all rumors, remember not to coax those people." ”
"Oh, I see. So what exactly is the end of the world? Ou Dabao is only eight years old, and he doesn't understand this word very well.
"It is estimated that the world has undergone great changes, and mankind is facing the catastrophe of extinction." Ou Qian saw that Ou Dabao was a little scared, and said, "If we all protect the environment, then this will not happen." ”
The two went home together, Ou Tingting had already returned from her uncle's house, and she was tinkering with her own paintings at the moment. Seeing that Ou Qian and Ou Dabao were also ignorant of it, they looked cold.
Ou Qian's attitude towards Ou Tingting is not taken to heart, Ou Tingting is now in the second year of junior high school, her grades are not very good, and she is preparing to take the art exam. The second sister-in-law saw Ou Qian coming back, and said, "Qianqian, where is your second brother?" ”
"The second brother took those people inside, and he didn't let me go."
"Oh." Lin Rong didn't care too much about this, "Shallow, it is said outside that the sun does not set because the end of the world is coming, you have a high culture, do you think?" ”
"It's all said that these are fake, Mom, can you stop being so ignorant, ok?" Ou Tingting replied impatiently.
Ou Qian nodded and said: "Tingting is right, these are all fake. ”
"Then I'm relieved, I'm going to buy something to keep at home." Lin Rong listened to the rumors of those people, and he was indeed a little worried. Since they all said so, then she was relieved, "Shallow, there is no meat at home, you take the money to buy some back." ”
"Okay." Ou Qian took the money, and Ou Dabao went out with Ou Qian. There are not many people coming and going on the road, and the sun that does not move overhead always gives people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
When the two arrived at the ancient town below, they found that there were many tourists vying to get in the car and leave, and for a while, the parking lot here became crowded. The tour guide kept explaining that this was not the end of the world, it was just a wonder of the world. But no matter what, it can't suppress the anxiety of tourists.
"Sister." Ou Dabao pulled the corner of Ou Qian's clothes, obviously this kind of riot is easy to infect people.
"It's fine." Ou Qian touched Ou Dabao's head, "If you want to eat later, my sister will buy it for you." ”
This sentence finally coaxed Ou Dabao to leave these behind, and Ou Qian turned his head to look at the noisy parking lot over there, as if he was watching another farce.
After buying vegetables, she took Ou Dabao to the small supermarket, and Aunt Qin from the supermarket saw Ou Qian and said, "Ou Qian, there is a kind brother who gave you a call." It's not hung up yet, you can come and pick it up. ”
Little brother's phone? Ou Qian's heart was happy, she took Aunt Qin's phone, put the microphone to her ear, suddenly her heart beat faster, she took a deep breath and said, "Little brother." ”
"Little girl." The sound was low and clear, like the cello she had heard at the school evening, as clear as spring water.
Ou Qian listened to the sound of breathing over there, her heart seemed to slowly fall to the spot, she looked not far away, and slowly spoke: "Little brother, I received a notice from A big." ”
"Congratulations to your little girl, you really didn't disappoint me."
Ou Qian didn't know what was wrong, listening to the voice on the other side, suddenly the temperature on his face slowly rose, and the sound of his heartbeat reached his ears.
"Little girl, it's a pity that I can't come to you. Do you see the sun above you? ”
Ou Qian subconsciously glanced up at the sky, "I saw it, they all said that this is the end of the world." ”
"Listen, you remember everything I say next." The voice on the other side became serious, "Little girl, I just sent you money, you hurry up and buy a plane ticket, come to the capital with your family, and I will pick you up when the time comes." ”
"Why?" Ou Qian faintly had a bad premonition in his heart, and as a result, the voice on the other side came firmly and powerfully, "Because, the end of the world is really coming." ”
Before the person on the other side could finish speaking, the line suddenly broke and there was a burst of busy sounds.
Ou Qian couldn't hear the voices around him, and only the words of the little brother were in his head, constantly circulating.
Is it the end of the world? Ou Qian slowly walked out of the door, looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, and couldn't help but flash a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
"Sister, give you ice cream." Ou Dabao walked to Ou Qian's side with something in his hand, he was also quite sensible, and finally only picked two ice creams.
Ou Qian glanced at Ou Dabao's appearance, and instantly reacted, "Dabao, let's go, let's go shopping." ”
Regardless of whether what the little brother said is true or not, but the intuition tells him that the little brother will not lie to himself. Ou Qian originally had the salary of his previous part-time job, and all of it was used to buy things in the supermarket, saying that it was because there were a lot of tourists at home.
"Sister, why are we buying so many things?" Ou Dabao looked at these things, and his heart was a little itchy.
"Of course it's food, just now the little brother called and said, let's go to the capital to play together."
"Really?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ou Dabao's eyes.
"Nature is true." Ou Qian suddenly thought of the second brother who went out to lead the way, which usually takes as little as three days and as much as five days. But now the situation is different, she has to find the second brother quickly.
