Chase in a dream
Concrete and wood blend with each other in a different proportion, and the entire structure of the second floor shows how casual the people who built the building. It was the first time that Yu Siqi had seen such a strange construction technique by pouring cement and reinforcing it with iron metal wrapping directly on the foundation of the original wooden structure.
No wonder there are so many houses, and he has a special attachment to this room at a glance.
Pushing open the old-fashioned wooden door on the left-hand side, some dust from the light kicked up. Yu Siqi waved his hand slightly and held his breath to avoid inhaling the visible particles himself.
The house itself is not very large, and the interior space is a little crowded due to the accumulation of a lot of clutter that is too late to move. But that's a good thing for Siqi. Especially when he was surprised to find that there was still electricity here, it was hard to imagine how excited he was.
The long-lost light replaced the light from his flashlight, and the artificial white light from the energy-saving lamp above his head covered almost the entire room.
Turning off the flashlight and stuffing it back into his bag, Yu Siqi began to focus on the appliances that hadn't even been unplugged. Good guys, refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, electric fans and induction cookers are all there, did the family leave with nothing with them?
With such doubts, Yu Siqi opened the nearest refrigerator, and the smell made him regret his recklessness. What he should have expected was that the food in the refrigerator was basically broken because of the power outage. Quickly closing the refrigerator door, he shifted his gaze to the bed in the corner, the quilt neatly stacked next to the pillow. However, because it has not been cleaned up for a long time, it has been covered with a thin layer of dust.
A small, low round table sits across the bed, with a fashion magazine spread out on it.
"The family left in a hurry!" After observing the whole for a while, Yu Siqi came to this conclusion.
But this is a good thing for him, and after a little dust on the bed, Yu Siqi put the bag at his feet and sat on the edge of the bed. Touched the sheets under the buttocks, well... It's even more humid than expected, probably because I haven't taken it out to dry for a long time, and I definitely can't lie on it and sleep peacefully on such a quilt.
Lift the futon slightly, revealing the wooden bed underneath. It doesn't matter if you lift it or not, as soon as you lift it, Yu Siqi can see the moldy and hairy bed board.
'Looks like there's no way to sleep on this bed today.' Yu Siqi thought so, and at this time he had already changed his position to the chair that he had not noticed much. This chair, which seems to have been slightly modified and repaired from a broken barber chair, is not so satisfying to Yu Siqi, but it is one of the few pieces of furniture in the house that allows him to sleep on it.
Want to go to the first floor to see what's going on? Forget it, it's too late. What's more, I had already taken a cursory look at the layout of the first floor through the window outside, and to be honest, there was no such congestion on the second floor at all. But again, there's nothing worth noting, other than the tools for haircuts.
Turning off the somewhat dazzling lights, he clumsily felt his way to the chair in the afterglow after the lights went out, and sat down. Surveying the dark room in an extremely relaxed manner, Yu Siqi felt that he had finally found a good place to stay overnight.
Although it is not as comfortable as sleeping in a bed, it is very likely that I will wake up tomorrow with a neck problem. But he resolutely closed his eyes, and almost in the blink of an eye, he fell asleep.
In the dream, he was caught in an endless chase, he had no idea what he was chasing, or what was waiting for him. The only thing he knew was that he couldn't stop his movements, because behind him, something else was approaching him.
In this way, Yu Siqi, who has been tireless all the way, vented his physical strength and sweat that he may not have in reality in the absurd dream of 'you chase me'.
When he finally realized that he was dreaming, he stopped. He began to pay attention to the absurd performance, especially when he found out that he was actually dressed in fancy dress, and the sense of shock still made him a little confused.
The shock didn't last long, for he felt the dream fade away, and he was about to wake up.
Sure enough, Yu Siqi, who opened his eyes, touched the sweat on his forehead, and he sat on the chair in a daze. He had another dream that was not very good, and thanks to this dream, he couldn't sleep at all.
Getting up from the sweat-soaked chair with difficulty, Yu Siqi noticed that the 'new clothes' he had just gotten from Zhao Yong had been made a little ill-fitting by his sweat. Judging from the morning light outside the window, I didn't sleep for a long time. After all, the sun hasn't even risen!
But now if he wants to fall asleep again, he is really reluctant. So he bent down and opened his satchel, took out a bottle of cheap mineral water from it, unscrewed the lid and poured it into himself.
'Goo-dong... Boom... After drinking more than half a bottle of water in a row, Yu Siqi finally came to his senses, and he didn't expect that he could tire himself like this in a dream.
Did you sleepwalk? No way, others are still here! Probably because he didn't adapt to the soil and water, he had another nightmare.
Sitting back in his chair, he suddenly felt a little hungry, so he took a whole pack of compressed biscuits and began to nibble on them. The light outside was getting brighter, though the sun still hadn't risen properly.
But with Yu Siqi's own judgment, plus a little unfounded speculation, he thought that there should be five or six points now. It is impossible to stay here in any way, and it is better to leave as soon as possible.
Yu Siqi, who had figured it out, simply packed his bags, and glanced back at this 'safe haven', which was not bad. As a result, he just swept his gaze to the gadget on the washing machine at this time, it couldn't be an alarm clock, right? Who would leave their alarm clock on the washing machine!
Considering that it was just a matter of a few steps, Yu Siqi still went over to confirm it in person. Really... It's an alarm clock!
There are some playful cartoon alarm clocks that are moving around energetically, if there is nothing wrong with this clock. So whether the 4:01 shown above slapped yourself in the face doesn't matter so much.
Yu Siqi, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered something when he decided to leave the house, since the owner of this room no longer planned to take these things away, it didn't seem to be a big deal for him, a passerby, to take away the alarm clock.
After turning back, he inspected the deserted house where he had stayed again, and made sure that he could only take away items that were easier to carry such as the alarm clock. Turning his gaze to the hallway leading downstairs, he decided that after a moment of self-denial and reflection, he decided that this would be the case.
Maybe there is something downstairs that you can use, but you don't plan to go deeper. Especially when his eyes were drawn to the crumbling handrails of the staircase, he felt that he should not take the risk. If you can't get up, you'll be embarrassed. You must know that the downstairs is closed by three large locks very tightly, and it is protected by a strong iron fence, which is not as easy to climb as the second floor above.
Retracting his gaze, he turned around and walked towards the balcony, the refreshing morning breeze blowing on Siqi made him feel a little cold.
