Volume 2 Search Story Chapter 30. Fruit knives
Walking in the light rain, people usually say, "You see this person is very emotional."
And when you walk in a storm, people usually say, "Look at this fool."
Bright looked at the gloomy sky and frowned
As she expected, within a few minutes, a torrential rain fell on the land, and the pedestrians on the street ran away, and naturally there was no business for her to do in the street - even if there were, no one would want to stand under such a heavy rain
Maybe I shouldn't have expected that maybe the rain won't fall, Can's helpless closing the stall thought so, because the stall was still a little delayed, and the clothes on her body were already soaked
Just break the jar and break it, and now that the clothes are already soaked, Can's instead feels like it's raining so hard, so she pushes her small cart alone and slowly walks on the usually overcrowded street
Because the landing was too heavy, she took a step and a splash of water splashed on the ground, but it didn't matter, high heels were not so easy to splash high water jets, not to mention that she didn't care when her whole body was completely wet from beginning to end
The silent sound of the rain echoed, not quiet, but because it was supposed to be filled with the noise of people, it only made Bright feel more lonely walking here alone
The air that made her helpless spread, and she wanted to get out of the atmosphere as quickly as possible, and only then did she quicken her pace
But even if she escapes from here, the only thing that awaits her is loneliness
Can has no home, the kind in the narrow sense, in a broad sense, her last home was in an abandoned and dilapidated house near the western suburbs, but there was also a vigorous new city construction plan in the end, and the house was also zoned in, and it could be demolished at any time, so she had to move out
The last home, she was also left for reasons like this, by the way, the new house built after the family was demolished, collected a large amount of pre-sale money, and ran away with the money, and now it is still a semi-finished product, and there will always be people who are willing to risk their lives for the sake of profit
However, her current home is much more luxurious than what she found before, it is a tall office building, but unfortunately it has become an abandoned building, but this is what she is looking for, although it is so conspicuous, it will not be long before someone will stand up and propose to demolish this building
So, even if you return home, the person who is waiting for you is no longer one, and the person you can wait for is embodied in numbers, and it is zero
It's no different from here, no matter where you go, you're just a lonely, lonely, boring person
β¦β¦ No, there are still some of them, it's like rain, even in early summer, it feels cold
In order to get back quickly, Canny turned into the alley, knowing that she would save at least a quarter of her time by walking this way
After taking a few steps forward, she faintly saw a person sitting in the corner of the wall in her blurred vision
β¦β¦ No, on a rainy day, she was a little incredulous, so she pushed away Liuhai, who was blocking her vision because of the rain
Indeed, there was a man sitting not far away, because the rain was really heavy, and she thought at first that maybe there was a dummy there
But when she walked up to the man, she didn't think so anymore, and the man had his eyes closed, as if he were asleep...... No, I should say that this person is just sitting here and falling asleep with his knees hugged, just like a puppet, a puppet can't be so simulated, right? With the current level of technology, the person in front of her can still see her breathing, even if it is really a particularly high-tech robot, then why did she abandon it here?
Is it a homeless man? But the clothes don't look like it, huh?
After thinking about it, Can's still couldn't find any reasonable reason for a person to sleep in an alley in the heavy rain, and finally she found a black cloak from the bag that was placed on the cart
Although the person sitting here asleep is not wearing tattered clothes, it is a little too little for a rainy day, and the cloak is just right to hide most of the skin underneath and ensure that it does not get wet
Can's quite hate summer, because of the weather, one moment the sun is hanging high in the sky, the next second the clouds are thick, you become a fool in the heavy rain, and the temperature is also fluctuating
- Although there are also places that I like
In short, Chan carefully put on this black cloak to the stranger in front of him, the cloak is not a cotton jacket, and the comparison of cotton jackets is insulting to cotton jackets, this material is very thin, but this is the only thing that Can can do for a stranger
In fact, it was possible to wake her up and make her hurry to shelter from the rain, but the devil knows why she fell asleep here
It's a loss to wake up and scold yourself, I'm obviously doing a good deed
With a small abacus in his heart, he originally wanted to do this good thing and leave without leaving a name, but the person in front of him suddenly opened his eyes
ββ¦β¦β
At this time, if someone finds out that he is gone, he will be suspected of being a suspicious person, so Can's steps stopped
When she saw the person open her eyes, her first reaction was to look around helplessly, and then sit still as if the plane was down
She pressed her hand against her throat, her mouth repeating the motion of opening and closing, as if she had forgotten how to speak
ββ¦β¦ Ah......h
She tried this action repeatedly, but ended up with only a short, meaningless vowel
What is this?
Can be a little confused, is this still a person with a language barrier? However, this reaction is more plausible to be explained by the hypothesis that someone was knocked unconscious here and suddenly found that his language function was impaired...... It doesn't seem to be beaten, in short, it's the feeling of being plotted?
I really can't ignore this kind of person, so I didn't care that I was still in the rain, so I dismissed the idea of rushing back immediately, and squatted in front of her and asked
"I take the liberty of asking, who are you and what is your name? β¦β¦ Ah, I didn't mean it.,It's just that I suddenly passed by and saw you.,Would it be better to introduce yourself here? I'm Can, a professional ...... Sothsayer, what about you? β
It's too rude to go straight to the point, Can's changed the beginning of the question, but when he heard this question, the person seemed to be down again, stunned
After a while, she shook her head
Shake oneβs head? What does shaking your head mean?
"If you can't speak, do you write with your finger on my hand?"
Cane reached over to her
ββ¦β¦ Say, talk? Can ......"
The man was like a parrot, learning the shape and tone of his mouth with difficulty, opened his mouth, and then shook his head again
Can I talk? So what does the previous reaction mean? Can's puzzled by this, it's better to say that normal people don't know what this person is doing and thinking
Normal people usually think that they have run into a crazy person, so hurry up and don't get involved in some strange things
It's a pity, it's a pity, Can's not such a normal person, both positive and depreciative
"If you can speak, is there any reason why it is inconvenient to give your name?"
Can's sudden interest came, originally the kind of "Ah, there is someone lying here, you can't ignore it", a little helpless, but now it is said with fun
ββ¦β¦β
The man didn't speak again, just shook his head
"Can't you even tell the reason?"
ββ¦β¦ I don't know."
"I don't know"
That sounds like amnesia.,It's troublesome.,But it's also very interesting.,Can's conjecture is as above.,The easiest way to confirm this conjecture is, of course, to ask me directly.
"So is it amnesia?"
ββ¦β¦ Amnesia? Probably"
This reaction seems to be right
"Is there any place to go, it's not good to get wet in the rain all the time, if there is no place to go, then I'll take you to a place to shelter from the rain...... First of all, I don't have any ideas about cheating, and if you don't believe me, it's okay if you continue to sit."
ββ¦β¦β
She was still silent, just nodded wordlessly, what does this nod mean? Bright thought about it, and finally decided to take this as the meaning of agreement
"I'm okay with the default, right?"
As he spoke, Cann took the hand of the person in front of her and helped her stand up, the other party stared at Can, Can't know what she was thinking, and she didn't know what to say in this case, so she could only repeat it in her heart, she agreed by default, she agreed by default, she agreed by default, she agreed by default
After some self-suggestion, Can's lead the person who had not reacted so far and ran back to his home
High heels are not suitable for running, and the final result is roughly just two people walking in the rain
Finally, they arrived at the abandoned building, and the two of them who were panting lay directly at the top of the stairs
"I'm sorry, I don't have any clothes to change, so I can't stand wearing wet clothes and have to take them off, but then I think it's going to be colder."
ββ¦β¦ Hmmm"
ββ¦β¦ Ah yes, you're amnesia, right? Is it complete amnesia, that is, there really is nothing else to remember? β
ββ¦β¦ Hmmm"
The man who asked was still only struggling to utter a short syllable...... Who understands what she means just by a single word
Canny took the man's hand and put it on his throat
"Can you speak, you can speak?"
She spoke word by word, trying to make the person feel the vibrations of her vocal cords and understand how to pronounce them
ββ¦β¦ Can you be? β
"Okay, you're amnesia, aren't you? Complete amnesia? That is, there is nothing to remember."
ββ¦β¦ IγThere's something to do."
"So, what is it?"
ββ¦β¦ Forgot"
β¦β¦ I have to say that this answer made Chan a little disappointed, although the answer was to disappoint her, but she thought this person was more interesting
ββ¦β¦ I forgot, but I have an impression...... I have the impression that I have something very important to do, but I can't remember what it is...... If I could remember who I was, I would be able to remember that...... It feels that way."
The man hurriedly added
"Well, what about the others? For example, the name...... Ah, I asked you before, don't you remember, that age? What did you do before? Don't remember anything about yourself? β
ββ¦β¦ Yes"
"Do you want to try to find out if there are any clues in the pockets of your clothes...... Uh, the one out there doesn't work, because ...... Forget it, if you want to search, it's okay."
ββ¦β¦ IγTry? β
Naturally, nothing could be found on the black cloak outside, but the one inside found a bag of things
There appears to be a pile of paper inside...... What is the certificate? Wrapped around the outside is a waterproof plastic bag...... The waterproof measures are all done, that is, it is clear that it is going to rain, did the weather forecast last night say, I don't know, after all, even if there is a TV series in the abandoned building, there is no electricity, or is it just just in case? Will ordinary people guard against this kind of eventuality?
Opening the plastic bag, the man looked at the pieces of paper one by one, but only a puzzled expression appeared on his face
card
After flipping through a piece of paper, the man placed it next to her, and Bright, who was sitting next to her, noticed the card at a glance
β¦β¦ If I didn't guess wrong, it must be......
"Sure enough, fate guided you and me to meet."
This sentence came out of Can's coldness
ββ¦β¦ Yes? β
"Nothing, how? What are the results of the survey......? β
ββ¦β¦ No, I know."
"I don't know...... Still not any clues? There's something to do but I can't remember it, so there's no way, hehehe...... Ahhh β
ββ¦β¦β
Silence, no answer, cold field is not suitable for Can, she is a person who can turn the mood up at any time, so she continued
"Although I have a place to live here, if there is anything to eat...... Because I took it from a supermarket clerk with a good relationship and sold it at a super low price, some things that should have been thrown away when they were about to expire were also very spare for two people, but most of them were snacks, which were a bit unhealthy...... Ah, yes, yes! You don't have anywhere to go when you get out of here, you have to live on the streets, and you can't eat anything."
ββ¦β¦ Hmmm"
The person on the other side is just so silent, desperately looking for a topic, but it seems like a stand-up comedy
"Although it doesn't matter if it's just the two of us here now, but if you go to a place where there are a lot of people outside, you won't be confused if you don't have a name, you can't remember the previous name, but I'll give you a name for the time being...... Code name? How's that, do you have any thoughts on this?"
ββ¦β¦β
Chan was originally looking for a topic that she needed to answer in one sentence, rather than a one-word solution, but it seemed that she would only be silent
"Uh, age, remember?"
The man next to him shook his head
"yes, you don't remember what you said about yourself."
ββ¦β¦ Tangerine"
"W-what"
"Remember a little...... I like to eat oranges...... It's like"
"That's a good progress, what about the name Tangerine?"
ββ¦β¦ Whatever"
"Then it's decided, and when it comes to oranges, I kind of want to eat them...... Although it's not yet autumn in the strict sense, but there are already oranges being sold at this time, how about I take you to sell them after the rain stops, what kind of oranges do you like, do you remember this? Sugar oranges? β
ββ¦β¦ Ugly mandarin"
"So? Ugly orange, then you have to buy a fruit knife to cut it, and when the rain stops, you have to buy a fruit knife first...... Hehe
