Where did the word cedar come from? I remember seeing in a certain botanical illustrated book that "彡" looks like needles, and trees with many needles are cedars. That said, I think it looks like the wind blows. If you want to draw a person running like a wind, don't you always draw "彡" in the blank space? Looking at it this way, the cedar is a piece of wood that has been whistling by the wind, and it feels like it is full of power. I love the word "cedar" from the bottom of my heart.

However, I don't like the northwest wind that much.

Obviously, Qianshan City is not near the sea, but the wind blowing at night is stronger than the sea breeze. I shuddered, and I almost couldn't even hold the front of the car.

It's 0:30, and it's been 20 minutes since the "anomaly", but I still haven't found anyone, so I decided to go home first. I rode through the empty streets, and the trucks that I had always seen were gone.

After ten minutes of riding, I turned into Pangu Road, the road became potholes, I slowed down, and at this moment-

A dark shadow flashed.

"......" I was shocked.

The black shadow moved towards the alley at a very fast speed, and because of the darkness, it was impossible to make a correct judgment.

"Who is it..?"

I shouted tentatively, but didn't hear a response.

I stopped the car and walked down the alley.

I can't use common sense to understand what's happening now, and I don't know what will happen in the future, anything is possible, and the fear of uncertainty makes it difficult for me to think, and even to breathe. I'm scared, it would be good if Lianwen was here, at least the two of them could support each other, at least they wouldn't end up in the embarrassment they are in now......

I emboldened myself as I pretended to stomp the ground.

"Wow!"

Like a gun-armed agent bursting into a prisoner's house, I shouted and hurried down the alley.

"Meow......?!"

What I saw turned out to be a frightened black cat. The kitten was startled by the sound and immediately purred into the corner, staring at me with wary eyes.

“……”

I slackened and began to laugh at my own ugliness. Well...... There are still animals there, I raised my head and smiled bitterly, looking at the black clouds floating overhead, although it was night, I could still see a lot of clouds, proving that the world is at least dynamic. In this way, the gods seem to be telling me that the world can still function without human existence.

"Meow ......"

I crouched down and began to learn to meow. Apologize to this innocent cat. Hopefully it will feel my apologies.

As if the intention had arrived, the kitten slowly came out of the corner, and I reached out to greet it.

With a snap, the kitten ran down my arm and into my arms. - Not bad.

I picked up the cat and looked at its clear and bright eyes, his coat color was not pure black, but brownish, and it felt quite soft to the touch. I've never been so easy to coax a cat, and maybe it's also experienced the loneliness of no one and saw an unusual sense of closeness to people.

WhewW......

Because it was cold, I put the kitten on my chest and tucked it into my coat to allow my head to breathe. I restarted the tram and it was not far from my house.

Hidden away in a small road, my house is a five-storey house, but it is not the kind of townhouse that looks like a townhouse, but a rental house that can be found everywhere, and in fact there are many other houses around it. The exterior walls are made of blue and white tiles monotonously, which is really lacking in terms of aesthetics, but it doesn't feel bad after staying for a long time. There is a U-shaped intersection next to the door, and thanks to it, it takes a lot of trouble to describe the location of my house to the courier. - In short, my house is not so conspicuous, there are no signs around, and it can even be said that there is nothing to describe.

In less than three minutes, I was back at the door of the house, and when I looked up, I saw that the lights were on on the second and third floors, which was supposed to be where my relatives lived. I am not surprised because the surrounding houses are more or less lit, which only proves that they were lit before 0:00.

I'm a little creepy, it's like Resident Evil, dead city, houses with lights on but no one, which you can occasionally see in movies. But when this scene was actually reflected in front of my eyes, this sense of unreality was so strong.

With a click, I opened the door, pulled the car into the garage, parked, turned out the charger, and charged the car. - It's something I do every day.

Go upstairs, open the door, turn on the lights, take off your shoes, go into the kitchen, take out the cup in the disinfection cabinet, take a glass of water from the water dispenser, drink it all, wash the cup and put it back in its place. - It's something I do every day when I get home.

…………

Meow...... The cat in my arms made an unpleasant sound, and I took her (he?) Placed on the ground.

…………

Click, click, the clock in the living room, the minute hand climbed to the top of the hill again.

1 a.m.

…………

The air is so quiet that you can even hear the second hand moving.

…………

Without saying a word, I clenched my fists and walked upstairs into my room.

Strike.

Plunged headlong into the bed. All emotions exploded in an instant.

"What are you kidding...... Will it always be like this? ”

What is the meaning of human life, and why do human beings exist in this world?

How many emperors pursue immortality, and if they really get their wish and live to the end of the world, it probably feels like this. So what's the fun of that, and what's the point of such a length of life?

My thinking was completely out of order, and I had no idea what I was relying on to keep my composure. Completely?.. Calm down? Am I calm? What am I thinking now? The Universe and Mankind, Controversy, World Peace, Love Text, Family, Exam Preparation, The Song I Heard Yesterday, yes, I Never Fell Down the Stairs When I Was Five Years Old, It Was Still Love Text Carrying Me Home. It's really hard for her, what time did you wake up yesterday? Yes......

The whole brain was very chaotic, the information was broken up into a lot of pieces, and all kinds of unrelated things were flooding me...... I don't even know what I'm thinking. By the time he reacted, tears had soaked the pillow.

It's only when I'm alone that I can express my emotions well.

I never thought I was so vulnerable.

There are many, many more things I want to do......

Meow......

The cat also burrowed into my room at some point, and I turned my head to try to find it, but unfortunately my eyes blurred my vision and I couldn't see anything clearly. It felt like my head was getting heavier and heavier, and soon, I lost consciousness.

I had a dream.

I became an agile eagle, trying to push the boundaries of the sky. Why do I have to fly so hard upwards? Maybe it's just a whim, wondering how high the sky is, or chasing something out of the sky. I can't tell myself, I just mechanically waved my wings, leaned on my back, and used all my strength to fly.

Gradually, my eyes became darker and darker, my field of vision became narrower and narrower, the air became thinner and thinner, I don't know how long I flew, I didn't feel tired, I couldn't see other people of the same kind. Breaking through layer after layer of clouds, his body became light and fluttery, as if he could completely leave the earth with one force. Gravitational restraints faded away, and it was something so vulnerable.

The vision changed, I saw something different, the scene in front of me, it was difficult to describe in words, no matter how much I searched the dictionary, I couldn't find the words to describe it, it was a wonderful feeling. Suddenly, I fell sharply. It was as if there was an invisible hand in front of me, grabbing me hard and pulling in that direction. Yes! Here it is...... I looked at the scene in front of me and was dumbfounded. Just as I was getting ready to ......

Call! Bang!

Zizizi————

I heard a noise. This sound is similar to the noise made when I was watching TV as a child, and suddenly the signal was bad.

"Wake up—I'm going to be late—"

I've heard the most beautiful sound I've ever heard in my life.

Smack, someone's touching me.

I opened my eyes and received the message of the world again.

What I saw in front of me was my playmate all along, Xiao Lianwen's confused expression.

She put her hands on my face, and that's what she felt just now.

"Qinghe..? Are you crying? ”

I couldn't understand the situation in front of me for a while, and I didn't know how to answer.

"I ......"

Lianwen lightly ran her fingers across my face, and my tears ran down her index finger.

I......

To make sure, I looked around and it was indeed my room, where I slept at night. Harsh sunlight streamed through the windows into the bedrooms, and early birds chirped.

"Is it a dream?"

I muttered to myself, the fear in my heart hadn't completely gone away.

"Are you having nightmares with such a solemn complexion?"

Lianwen didn't seem to know what was going on, she pushed me up in confusion, and then suddenly threw herself into my arms and hugged my waist hard.

"Wow... Ahhhhh ”

However, the force was so strong that I couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

"It's the real world."

She got up, sneered twice, looked at me with contempt and contempt, then smiled with a sunny smile

。

"Hurry up and get up, Auntie is already eating."

As she spoke, she handed me the glass of water that had been on the bedside table and left the room.

……

Looking at the water glass, it was still steaming, and he blew out a long breath, and the hot air drifted into the distance.

Is everything a dream?

I felt a little relieved.

……

After washing up, I went downstairs to the living room. Lianwen doesn't live near my house, but she herself said that she would stop by, so she would occasionally come to my house to help make breakfast, and of course my mother was very welcome. And more importantly – she cooks really well.

I looked at the dining table, my mother was already moving, I had a younger sister, but she lived in the school, and my father was not usually at home.

I straightened up my stool and sat down at the table, with egg scones rolled in Orleans and a lot of lettuce in front of me, as well as fried rice that was slightly larger than usual. On the right hand side is a bowl of preserved egg lean porridge, which is the most valuable method of preserved eggs, if the preserved eggs are handled well, the taste of hydrogen sulfide will not only be much weaker, but feel sweet in the mouth, and the fragrance is overflowing. I often don't feel like I can enjoy it after drinking five or six bowls. Finally, a glass of mellow soy milk is served, which is the most perfect Chinese breakfast in my opinion.

Well, the time to enjoy has begun, I remember that some people often say that we need to have a good breakfast, but few people listen to it, and this is not to blame them, someone has to make it delicious before we are willing to eat. The value of the food depends on the chef.

I picked up the bowl and was about to feast when I caught sight of something strange.

……

"Huh... Mom, did you clean the floor yesterday? ”

I asked my mother, who was sitting on my right.

"Huh? Yes, I swept it at 11 o'clock. Why is this asked? ”

"Didn't you sweep it in the morning?"

"Who got up early in the morning to sweep the floor?"

Mom gave me a blank look. That's right.

I looked at the love text in the kitchen, humming a song and pouring soy milk...... It can't be either.

I put down the bowl and crouched down, and found the thing I cared about—a black-brown hair, about 3cm long, and a few more were found in the vicinity.

I remember when I had seen such a color, such a length.

[I remembered the cat "last night".] 】

Exactly, exactly the same.

"What would you do if everyone in the world disappeared and you were the only one left."

I packed my things and walked downstairs with my bag on my back, and Lianwen followed behind me, and when I walked to the first floor, I asked abruptly.

I know my expression is very ugly right now. I tried my best to squeeze out a smile, but to no avail.

Lianwen didn't feel strange, but replied briskly:

"I'm going to read all the time. If everyone else disappears, books from all over the world will be freely browsed. That's not too bad a situation either. With all the knowledge and stories that exist in this world, I don't think I will be able to read them all in my life. ”

Unexpected answer.

I was dumbfounded and didn't know how to proceed.

Staring into her eyes.

"Are you such a person?"

I sneered with a look of distrust.

She rolled her eyes at me back. The daily life of two people losing each other is about to start again-

To stop this, I hugged her.

That's great.

I thought to myself. It's a kind of peace of mind, but it's also a kind of uneasiness.

……

I just found out that she was wearing a new dress today, a beige sweater jacket, which is very easy to touch, with a soft feel like cat hair, but it is extremely smooth, and the palm of her hand does not seem to feel resistance.

Soft and slippery ...... Touch around.

"Oh ho, yes, yes."

She sneered, I couldn't see her expression, but it must have been the signature little devil expression again.

The two of us have known each other since they were very young, grew up together, and studied in the same class at the same school. I don't remember exactly how we met, except that our fathers were business friends and lived close to each other, and they used to visit the house when they were very young.

My home is in the east of the Southern District, next to Yuki Plaza, and she lives a little further south than me, about 1.5 km away. We can commute by rail, but since I have a tram, she often walks to my house, helps with breakfast, and then goes to school together.

I glanced at my watch, and it was just after half past seven, so it must have been too late to leave. When Lianwen doesn't come, sometimes he sets off at 7:45 and races forward, and he can barely feel it - of course, it is very dangerous.

I put on my hard hat, and then helped Lianwen put it on too, buckled the strap, and she sat in the back seat, hugging my waist.

Smack, close the door. Click, kick up the tripod -

"Mmmm......mm

Lianwen's head rested on my back, making a sound like exhaling into a fan. It was a lazy voice, to me.

But I don't feel tired right now.
