Standing at the intersection of the ticket gates with a light blue ticket, the boy looked behind him and saw nothing but strangers. The young man shook his head, don't think about it so much, Haoran, his sister with rough nerves is not so fast. After thinking about it, he didn't hesitate anymore, and put the ticket into the wicket, "Drip-"
The final journey of this ticket is Nanjing, and my sister, who doesn't know Haoran's whereabouts at all, is looking for a needle in a haystack, China is so big, where can this stinky boy go? Hesitating in the waiting room, my sister who arrived late looked at the train screen and was distracted. I don't know if he will take care of himself if he is not by Haoran's side. "Ding Dong - staff and passengers, please note that the T112 train stops checking ......" a system prompt sound floated by, and my sister looked up at the direction of the ticket gate.
After getting into the car, Haoran quietly put down his luggage, and after simply tidying up his sleeper, he took out a book from his schoolbag, just like the author of this book, Haoran was infected with this author's small habit, reading, observing, thinking, writing, and, going for a walk. The scorching heat at the end of summer was blocked by the glass lattice, and the air conditioning was turned on inside the train, and it started on time, and this time the journey lasted more than half a day, and the departure was smooth.
The purpose of this trip is not to have fun, but to write the book in hand. is not only his last wish before his death, but he has never stopped changing, but there is a little-known unfinished story, I want to know why he didn't finish it, it can be regarded as a beautiful expectation that his idol can't be stained.
Words can be used as a medium for emotional transmission, and good authors can always express their thoughts through their own works, and reading a book is like having a dialogue with the author at that time. This kind of reading pleasure can make Haoran breathe smoothly, forget the passage of time, and forget the pain of occasional breathing. "Goo~Goo~" But the Five Organs Temple is not followed, looking at the sky outside, it's time to eat something, I don't know if my sister has eaten, she doesn't know if she won't take care of herself as she imagined, take a breath gently, clip the bookmark, and walk towards the restaurant in the No. 8 carriage.
It's really a coincidence, when I met a meal, the train was full of people squeezing back and forth. "Let's let it, borrow it, ah, sorry...... "This kind of crowding is the last thing Haoran expects to meet. Whew~ Finally squeezed into the No. 8 carriage restaurant, and when Haoran was about to think about ordering something casually, the endless crowd in front of him suddenly stirred, squeezing towards him, squeezing himself out of the No. 8 carriage, what happened? Against the crowd, Haoran turned his head, searching for what was the reason for squeezing himself out.
An oversized snakeskin bag appears in the field of vision under the search of the gaze, is there any mistake?! Haoran couldn't understand why there were people running around in the restaurant with their belongings on their backs, making the crowd so crowded, such conspicuous equipment taking up a lot of space, and the people around him seemed to be avoiding the plague, causing the crowd to squeeze himself out. In the field of vision, the oversized snakeskin bag approached him, but he was about to be squeezed back into his sleeper.
"I'm sorry, let a ......" An old voice floated past his ears, such an attention-grabbing target, I really can't filter it out with the noisy crowd. It's amazing that although it's crowded, the old voice is getting closer and closer to Haoran with a super large package, what is this? Santa Claus who got lost and forgot his calendar? The reality is cruel, and finally, an old man appeared in front of him, holding a grass-colored round hat in one hand and fanning himself to drive away the heat, with a very retro goat's broken beard, white hair shorter than the broken beard, and wearing clothes that matched the aesthetics of his era.
There were all people next to him, but the old man singled out Haoran, and handed a teapot from his waist, "Young man, help pour some water." "Why ......? Haoran hadn't finished thinking about a question, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the old man's bag blocking the door because it was too big, and the water dispenser that was close at hand was stuck by a door, is it a kind of sadness?
"It's a gesture." Haoran was slightly surprised and took the teabottle, turned around and walked to the water dispenser, filled the teabottle, and then handed it to the old man in front of him.
"Goo~Goo~Aha~" After a few sips, the old man began to thank, "Thank you, young man." Then the old man searched for something in his oversized duffel bag, but quickly took out a bag of things, "Come on, come on, this is the ancestral secret recipe, give you a post, if there is a disease, the medicine will be eliminated, and the disease will be nourished and yang without disease~~~" After the extremely frenzied advertisement, he stuffed the medicine into Haoran's hand. After paying attention for so long, Haoran finally saw the words on the old man's bag clearly, to be precise, it was on the color book advertisement, "Ancestral secret medicine, specializing in the treatment of incurable diseases, medicine to eliminate diseases, xxx expert recommendation" There is also a big head photo of the unjust head with a "I believe it" expression.
This product is selling medicine on the street? "No, no, no, how can this be?" Listening to the old man boasting about his elixir, Haoran hurriedly refused, it was too late to dodge. In this world, there is no panacea for any disease, right? Sure enough, is it selling fake medicines? His eyes were distracted, his thoughts flashed, and his efforts helped a seller of counterfeit medicines?
"Your help is not so meaningless~" The old man's words revealed a mysterious temperament, as if he had seen through Haoran's inner thoughts. Seeing Haoran's curiosity and surprise, the old man smiled slightly, "Let's go to the sleeper and talk, let's get to know each other well, I bought 2 boxed lunches." As he spoke, he magically took out 2 boxes of meals wrapped in a convenience bag from the back.
"Uh, okay." To be honest, this trip has begun to surprise Haoran a lot, and in these surprises, there is a little joy, expectation, and longing. Sure enough, it's always a bit rewarding to go out for a walk. Haoran agreed to the old man's proposal and followed the old man towards the sleeper.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"This is your sleeper?!" Deceptive, right? As soon as he arrived at the sleeper, Haoran's curiosity prevailed, and he calmly defeated, coincidentally, it was too coincidental, this old man's sleeper was opposite him!
"Why can't it be?" The old man never looked like an old man, and his eyes did not have the slightest color of the cloudy years, but they were always very clear.
Coincidents, too many coincidences, when these coincidences are superimposed, they are no longer coincidences, but they seem to have been arranged a long time ago. Needless to say, Haoran is already very vigilant.
"These superimposed coincidences, why?" Haoran was full of questions, clutching his chest, not knowing where to ask, a series of events in a short period of time made him feel short of breath, and his lungs began to ache faintly.
"Relax." The old man said softly, put away his belongings, and he was not hunched anymore, and then took out the boxed lunch and turned to Haoran, "Let's eat first, you can talk while eating." Haoran hesitated to take the lunch box and opened it without moving the chopsticks. Rest assured, there is no medicine or anything like that. "The old man was the first to eat, and his flexibility was not like that of a person of his age.
Seeing that the old man ate first, Haoran also took out his chopsticks. Chewing one bite at a time, to be honest, it's not as delicious as my sister's cooking, and even if you do it yourself, it's more delicious than these dishes.
"What's wrong, isn't it delicious?" The old man asked, looking at the speed at which Haoran was eating.
"No, when you're out and about, it's better to be able to do a little bit than to eat nothing." It's not that I can't eat fast, but I'm afraid of disrupting the already weak breathing rate.
The old man smiled and nodded, but did not speak.
"Just now I was thinking, why are so many people, you just ask me to fetch water for you, and besides, the service in the restaurant is not good? No one fetched you water? Haoran swallowed a mouthful of food and asked the old man opposite with his doubts.
"Because you're closest to the water cooler." The old man picked up the meal and gave a reason that seemed very casual.
"Then let's ...... across from the bed."
"It's a real coincidence." The old man ate quickly, and was already halfway down, "I boarded the wrong carriage at the beginning, and then I squeezed my luggage on my back, squeezed and squeezed to the restaurant and bought a boxed lunch by the way." With the old man's narration, Haoran could almost imagine the crowded and inconvenient scene at that time, "As for fetching water?" I forgot when I bought food, I just remember that it was too crowded to buy 2 boxes, ready to give the next meal, hey~ old man, I always can't remember a lot of things. ”
"Really?" Did you think too much about it? However, the moment of déjà vu just after hitting the water, as if I had seen him before, my life was about to come to an end, and there was an illusion that I shouldn't have? "Anyway, thank you for inviting me to a boxed lunch."
The old man had finished eating, and was picking his teeth with a toothpick, looking like he was full of food and drink. "Thank me for what? Didn't you pour me a glass of water too? There are so many people, it's rare to find a helpful one, this trip, my old bones are no longer a person. ”
"The old man's words are really interesting." The vigilant heart regained its calm again, and the mood was looking forward to discovering what it was. "My name is Su Haoran, Su who woke up, and I haven't asked the old man what his surname is?"
"The old man's surname is Li, and his single name is Lin." The old man introduced himself.
Uncle Li...... (Your uncle) ...... I really don't know where the urge to laugh comes from, the new Uncle Li Lin I met today is really a spirited old man.
Different from Haoran, the old man opposite, his thoughts at the moment, lying on the bed resting and digesting the food in his stomach, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but recalled the command at the beginning of the "plot" of this world:
"Elder Li, it's time, please guide my family over......" In the dream-like garden of unknown places, a young man bathed in the mild sun, holding a small kettle in his hand and tending to the flowers and plants, instructed the old man Li Lin who was resting behind him.
"With your current strength, this kind of thing is easy, right?" The old man Li Lin asked the young man who felt peaceful in front of him suspiciously.
"If I'm 'forced'." The young man smiled slightly, "However, after the beginning of the 'plot' of this world, the 'freedom' I originally set will be destroyed by me, and this world that is infinitely close to the 'real' will lose its 'real vitality', which is what I don't want to see, if the people I see on the street say the same few words, how boring it is." ”
"So, let me do this old bone once." The old man was convinced of the young man's reason, "Just thank you for saving me and letting me take refuge in this world for your insignificant reward, quasi-......."
"Shh~" The young man made a stop gesture, "That name no longer belongs to me, and besides, I am not a complete him, if you can, Li Lao, you can call me, Feng Luohan, or Su Han, or the name of this world: Su Luohan......" turned his face with a smile, and it turned out to be a young man who was a little similar to Haoran!
