Chapter Seventy-Eight: Farewell

86_86324So, the man who opened the door left me with a hurried back, and I disappeared into the corridor at the entrance before I could even see his face.

"Awesome, awesome!" Zhou Zhihong's exclamation came from the door again.

Out of curiosity, I stepped over the threshold and walked inside.

The living room was empty. Searching for the sound, I made my way to the bedroom in the middle of the house. I saw four figures gathered around a desk in the bedroom. Sure enough, I immediately recognized that one of the three backs standing was Zhou Zhihong. The person with yellow hair must be the yellow-haired boy Fan Xing.

What are these boys doing in the bedroom, could it be that they are watching adult movies? That's too obscene, isn't it? If this is the case, I, a college student in the new century, have every right and obligation to stop their unhealthy and uncivilized behavior.

"What are you doing, you guys?" I approached them and leaned over.

I saw a laptop on the desk. On the computer screen, instead of adult movies, game footage appears. This game, which I saw my roommate play, is called DOTA, and it is a battle map based on Warcraft. The person who operated the computer was Xiao Yang, who was braided, and the braid on the top of his head was against the part under my chest.

The three people around him are the boys I saw at the dinner table last night: Fan Xing and Zhu Weicheng, as well as Zhou Zhihong.

Fan Xing propped himself on the desk with one hand, and noticed me behind him after hearing the voice. His eyes under his yellow hair moved towards me, which was a wordless greeting.

The other two, staring intently at the screen, let my words disappear into the bedroom. The flowers of the motherland do not forget to indulge in games in the last days.

"This mending knife technique is really amazing." Zhu Weicheng opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, he didn't notice that I was behind him at all, "Brother Xiao Yang, teach me when you have time." ”

Braided Xiao Yang quickly pressed the keyboard, moved the mouse, and ignored Zhu Weicheng's words. Looking at his skillful and agile appearance, he must have been an out-and-out Internet addict teenager before. By the way, I just remembered that Foreman Li said that pigtailed Xiao Yang used to love to play games. The laptop on the desk, the keyboard is shining, and it is very beautiful. At the bottom of the screen, there are several English letters of alienware.

"I'll go, this game can be addictive when played standalone." I was bored with them.

Zhou Zhihong finally heard my voice, he turned his head and said in surprise: "Ah, Brother Li, you are here too?" ”

As soon as I wanted to answer yes, the kid turned his head and said to the pigtailed Xiao Yang, "Can you let me play later?" ”

It seems that this kid is just saying hello to me by the way, and he has more energy and is focused on the computer screen. I smiled wryly and shook my head, saying that if I have a computer, I would be my brother, and I would have put the computer in my backpack when I left the dormitory.

Braided Xiao Yang had the same attitude as before, ignoring Zhou Zhihong. Looking at his attentive appearance, I think even if he holds a sharp knife next to his neck, he will have to wait until he finishes the game before talking to you.

After a crackling operation, the pigtailed Xiao Yang finally emerged victorious. He put his fingers flat on the keyboard and exhaled. Braided Xiao Yang turned his head to the three people around him: "Which of you is going to play, the computer should be able to play another game, and if you play, it should run out of power." ”

Saying that, Xiao Yang stood up and prepared to vacate the vacant seat.

Zhou Zhihong and Na Zhu Weicheng glanced at each other, although both sides expressed their yearning for the game just now, but now when it was time for the next person, they were a little embarrassed to take the initiative to ask. Perhaps Zhu Weicheng felt that he should show humility to the guests, so he said: "You play first, I'll continue to observe." ”

Zhou Zhihong did not refuse, and directly pulled over the stool and sat up. He held the mouse and said to Zhu Weicheng: "Okay, I'll play faster and try to leave time for you." ”

Braided Xiao Yang and Zhou Zhihong switched back and saw me in the bedroom. A flash of surprise flashed across his face, and then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately pushed my shoulders and walked out of the bedroom.

Half a minute later, I heard the sound of a basketball slapping in the living room. Braided Xiao Yang held a basketball and appeared at the door of the bedroom.

"Playing ball?" He hugged the basketball to his chest with both hands, squeezed it and asked me.

"Oh," I said, with some surprise, "yes. ”

He twisted his head, stepped out, and motioned for me to follow him. I've been exercising for a long time, and when I saw the invitation of the pigtailed Xiao Yang, I quickly followed him out of the bedroom.

Suddenly the voice of the yellow-haired boy Fan Xing came from behind him, and he said, "Wait, I'll go play too." ”

I stopped and asked him, "Aren't you queuing up to play games?" ”

"I've never liked to play this, I'm bored to watch the fun." Fan Xing was a little embarrassed to preach to me.

I turned my head to look at the two people in front of the computer desk, Zhu Weicheng was pointing and scribbling in front of the screen, directing tactics for Zhou Zhihong. I smiled, put one hand on Fan Xing's shoulder, and walked out with him.

A few hours of exercise made me feel better. I mean, in this cold winter, it is indeed a very happy thing to sweat with youth.

After sweating smoothly, the three of us sat under the basketball hoop to rest. This long-lost experience actually brought me a sense of familiarity. I felt like I hadn't left the house yet, and I had a few friends and played an afternoon basketball game on the basketball court in the community. Now I was sweating and dissipating heat, and then I packed my clothes and went home, took a shower, and waited to enjoy my mother's dinner.

Of course, this was only a temporary feeling, and the two real faces beside me told me that what I was thinking in my head was all illusory, my imagination. What I'm going to do is not go home, but I'm going to leave the neighborhood and go to the next strange place.

"I heard you're leaving tomorrow?" Braided Xiao Yang handed me a bottle of mineral water and asked.

"yes," I said, wiping the sweat from my forehead and taking the water bottle, "I'll leave tomorrow." ”

Braided Xiao Yang unpacked his braids, and his long hair was draped, and his hair was longer than I expected. He shook off his hair and said to me, "Then I wish you all the best." ”

"Thank you." I said after taking a sip of water.

"You guys are gone, Liu Wei and they are also gone, this place will be much cleaner." Fan Xing picked up the ball alone and ran towards the court again.

When I heard Liu Wei mentioned, I suddenly remembered this incident, and I turned my head and asked Braided Xiao Yang: "By the way, Liu Wei is gone, what did Foreman Li say?" ”

"The car has rushed into the river." Braided Xiao Yang held his hair between his hands and said, "But everyone hates him, it's a good thing that he's gone, don't you see that everyone was happy that night." ”

"Do you know what's really going on?"

"Yes, the foreman told me." Braided Xiao Yang said lightly, it seems that he doesn't care too much about this matter. He wiped his hair back from his forehead, revealing the tip of a beautiful woman.

"You're gone, will you come back?" Braided Xiao Yang asked me again.

"I don't know, maybe." I smiled lightly at the remnant sun and said, "It's good here, and I'm reluctant to leave." ”

"Well, I'm still looking for you to play ball with me when I come back."

On the last night, I went to Foreman Li's bathroom and took a shower. The warm water almost relaxed the muscles of my whole body. I think back to a time when I was left alone in my dorm room and took a shower to relieve my inner stress. At that time, how could I not feel that taking a bath was such a comfortable thing?

After taking a shower, Foreman Li actually brought me a new set of clothes. I was a little surprised when I touched the new fabric, and I asked him, "Where did you get the new clothes?" Foreman Li said with a smile that now the shopping malls in the city are all fully controlled by him, and he needs as many clothes as he wants. He also said that since he survived, he should dress better.

I'd love to reply to him that there may be more than just you in this town.

After changing into new clothes, it took me twenty minutes to do enough ideological work for Duan Ke, and finally persuaded her to leave the community tomorrow.

That night, Foreman Li called our group to the top of the building again. The previous blue sky and white clouds have been replaced by stars. I don't know if it's because a large number of human beings have disappeared, and there is no artificial light source, making the atmosphere much purer. In short, it was the first time I had seen such a number of stars. The vast sky is like a huge black screen, and dense stars are dotted in it. It's dense, but it's dreamy, it's beautifully dense.

The bright galaxy makes all of us have no heart to talk anymore, just look up and open our eyes wide, and reflect in our minds the exquisite picture made by nature.

Perhaps this is what Foreman Li meant, he wants to use this visual gift of nature as a gift to us before parting.

Uncle Wang sat in the dark corner on the roof of the building and smoked, not knowing what he was thinking. And Zhou Zhihong, thinking about playing games with Zhu Weicheng and a few others, went downstairs not long after. Foreman Li, Foreman Li still sat in the same position where he talked to me today, looking at the sky without saying a word. He was bold enough, and he dared to sit on it in such a dark environment.

Duan Ke and I were left on the rooftop, and I was tired of standing, so I led her to another concrete parapet and sat down. Looking at the galaxy above our heads, we chatted with each other. Duan Ke said that she had carefully observed that there was no such number of stars in the sky before, so she felt that every star in the sky was the embodiment of life, and they were all still looking at the world.

I said, if this is the case, I would also like to be a star hanging in the dome, and I can watch the world quietly from the sky, without having to run around, without worrying about survival, how much better.

"You've become a star, what should I do?" Duan Ke leaned closer to my mouth and asked.

"If I become a Cowherd Star, you will become a Vega Star." I replied wittily.

Duan Ke kissed me, and then said, "I don't want to, I can only see you once a year." ”

Readers may want to ask, where did Wu Linyu go? I was also thinking about this question, because I didn't see Wu Linyu after I played. What I know is that Duan Ke didn't see Chen Lishan either. However, according to Uncle Wang, Wu Linyu still slept with him that night.

The next day, in order not to disturb everyone's normal work and rest time, adhering to the principle of coming quietly and leaving quietly, we got up early in the morning. Lao Chen's truck had already started its engine and was ready to send us back to the riverside to find our little Chang'an. Chen Lishan helped Wu Linyu and walked out of the unit building. Wu Linyu told us that Chen Lishan wanted to go with us. Sure enough, Wu Linyu, this kid, still dug the corner successfully, and I don't know where he saw the strategy.

I wasn't too surprised to hear the news, and looking at the way they looked, they were basically going to get better. How can the matter of two people be clearly explained. Aunt Li is right, in today's world, if the two of them think it is suitable, they can make a couple.

The strange thing is that when everyone stood on the cargo box, Foreman Li did not appear. Didn't he say last night that he would come to see us off today, could it be that he was stuck to the bed sleepily? After waiting for several minutes, Foreman Li still didn't show up, so we had to decide to go. Unfortunately, I'm ready to shake his hand and say goodbye.

The truck had not gone a few meters before we heard a car moving in front of us. I immediately poked my head out of the cargo hoarding, and sure enough, a Mercedes sedan was driving towards us. The person driving the Mercedes-Benz sedan was none other than Foreman Li.

The Mercedes sedan turned around at the back of the van and drove to the right side of the van. The window rolled down, and Foreman Li poked his head out and said, "Lou Li, take my car, I have something to tell you." ”

I glanced back at them, and my chance to say goodbye had come. I steadied my gun, jumped off with my backpack on my back, and got into the Mercedes car.

This Li Foreman is really powerful, and this kind of luxury car can be obtained. But the smell of perfume in the car is the same as the previous Audi car, which tells me that this Mercedes-Benz sedan should also belong to Foreman Li.

"Did you bring the book?" The car started, and Foreman Li asked me.

When passing by the security booth, I didn't see Uncle Wang again.

"Bring it, in the bag." I patted my backpack and said.

"That's good," Foreman Li smiled as he held the steering wheel, "the generator is running out of gas, I have to go to the gas station today to see how to get the oil out of it." ”

I noticed that Foreman Li forgot to take care of his hair today. I couldn't help but be a little moved to think that he might be able to pick up the car early and give me a ride.

"Hmm." I said, looking at his hair.

After saying that, Foreman Li turned on the car CD, perhaps to alleviate the embarrassment of having nothing to say.

Listening to the songs played on the CD, under the guidance of Lao Chen, we quickly returned to the place where the Chang'an car was parked. Foreman Li put on the brakes and stabilized the car. He looked sideways to the other side, as if waiting for me to get out of the car. At this time, I wanted to stretch out my hand, but suddenly I was a little embarrassed to reach out. I cleared my throat and opened the car door without saying a word.

After everyone got out of the car, Lao Chen also got out of the car. He opened a pack of cigarettes, handed out a cigarette to each of us, squinted his eyes and said nothing.

"Let's go back." Uncle Wang said with a gun on his back.

Lao Chen lit a cigarette for Uncle Wang and said to us, "Be careful on the road. ”

Foreman Li drove the car and turned his head on the road, he didn't poke his head out of the car window, he could only hear his voice coming out: "Have a good journey, you can come back at any time if you encounter problems." ”

After speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and slowly drove out of the Mercedes-Benz car. I regret that the imaginary handshake and goodbye did not come forward. Right now, in my head, I've been looping the song I just heard in the car.

"When the day comes to old age,

Are you by my side,

Look at those oaths that lie,

Drifting away with the past,

How many people have loved your youthful face,

Who is willing to endure the ruthless changes of the years,

How many people have come and gone in your life,

I know that I will be by your side all my life."

Foreman Li may be watching us in the rearview mirror
