Chapter 7: Leaving Home in the Middle of the Night
Mu Yun was lying on the bed, his heart fluctuated, his thoughts were thousands, and he couldn't sleep.
A few hours earlier, he had returned home.
As soon as he pushed open the door, his grandfather immediately bounced out of his chair.
With a nervous expression, he rushed towards Mu Yun: "What's the matter, didn't you get out of school early today? Why did you come back so late, and you still look like a soup chicken?"
After seeing the holes and blood stains on Mu Yun's pants, the old man was even more shocked and shouted: "What's the matter with the blood on your pants, what did you just do?"
Mu Yun took out the words that he had already prepared: "When I came back, it was raining too much, and I accidentally fell halfway. ”
"Can you fall like this? did you fall while riding?" the old man looked skeptical.
"yes...... Oh, no!"
As soon as Mu Yun wanted to nod subconsciously, he suddenly remembered that his bicycle had been scrapped by the cat at school.
It's over, and I was so restless on the way back that I actually forgot about this stubble.
Forget it, anyway, let's make up a reason to fool the past.
"The bike is gone, it's ...... Someone stole it!"
didn't have time to think about it, Mu Yun opened his mouth and came.
"Someone stole it?how could it be, even your broken bicycle, can it still be stolen?!" the old man looked surprised.
"That's right, I'm also blindsided, and it's really too much for someone to steal my broken bicycle!" Mu Yun pretended to be indignant, and hurriedly hid in the room, "I'll go change my clothes first." ”
"Wait! you come first, I'll see if the wound is serious!" the old man's face was full of concern.
"Don't look at it, don't look at it, the wound is not serious, it's just a skin trauma ......"
"Fart!Can a skin wound bleed so much!?" the old man blew his beard and glared, and his waist straightened, "You tell me honestly, did you kid learn badly, did you just get into a fight with someone!"
"No! I'm cowardly, how can I fight with others!" Mu Yun felt that he was going to be questioned if he stayed any longer, so he quickly flashed into the room and closed the door.
"No, why are you hiding from me, being a thief? Could it be that you were beaten up by a bad boy?" The old man continued to shout outside through the door, his voice was like thunder, "Don't be afraid, who bullied you, you tell grandpa, I will go to his parents to reason!!"
Mu Yun covered his face silently when he heard this, thinking to himself how you want me to tell you, it is impossible to tell the truth that I was beaten like this by a cat!
Mu Yun wanted to lie down early and get a good night's sleep, but he turned over and over again and couldn't sleep.
Also, I just experienced such a thrilling thing, and it's strange that I can sleep.
He glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was 11 o'clock in the evening, and he lay down before 10 o'clock, counting that he had been rolling in bed for more than an hour.
At this point, the old man must have fallen asleep, Mu Yun thought to himself.
Looking out the window again, it seems that the rain has also become lighter.
So after thinking about it for a while, he decided to do something he hadn't done in a long time.
He tiptoed out of bed and quietly opened the door.
After making sure that he heard the old man's snoring, he walked softly and slowly around the living room and lifted a pair of sneakers from the shoe cabinet at the door.
When I finally came to my old security door, my heart was already beating wildly.
This is the last step of the midnight home, and it is also the most dangerous and exciting step.
Mu Yun's anti-theft door is very old, and it has long been rusted.
Although Mu Yun had secretly lubricated it with engine oil, he still had to be extremely careful when pushing the door to avoid that long and melodious "squeak" sound.
Next, Mu Yun took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and put it on the doorknob, and slowly twisted it down.
Then he held his breath and carefully pushed the big iron door open, and the whole process lasted for dozens of seconds, and the action was like a slow motion that was slowed down more than ten times in a movie.
Finally, after the whole step was completed, Mu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then he quickly put on his sneakers and walked down the stairs.
It's been a long time since I've tried to sneak out in the middle of the night like this, but I didn't expect that my sword is not old, and a set of processes is still so smooth!
Mu Yun thought like this while happily breathing the fresh air of the streets in the early morning that he had not seen for a long time.
He walked straight across the block to the door of a nearby Internet café.
You must know that Muyun was a serious Internet addict teenager in junior high school, and the first thing he did after school every day was to go straight to the Internet café.
As soon as I threw away my schoolbag and turned on the computer, it was as kind as returning home!
No, it should be said that it is more cordial than returning home, because Mu Yun's family did not buy a computer at all.
In the eyes of the old man's generation, online games are like a flood of beasts, electronic opium, and something that cannot be touched.
In junior high school, if Mu Yun had an Internet addiction attack in the middle of the night, he would sneak out of the Internet café in front of his house to surf the Internet.
Then as long as you get back home before your grandfather gets up, you can do it without knowing it, leaving no trace.
- It's just that those mornings will definitely be used to doze off.
After Muyun went to high school, his Internet addiction gradually became smaller, and the attraction of games became less and less.
As a result, he never slipped out in the middle of the night to surf the Internet, and even the number of times he went to the Internet café on weekdays gradually decreased.
But he still goes to an Internet café once in a while.
For some reason, the atmosphere of the Internet café always makes Mu Yun feel at ease.
The smell of smoke in the cloudy air, greasy keyboards and mice, and small advertisements plastered all over the walls in the bathroom are so sloppy, but perhaps it is in this casual environment that it is easiest for people to truly relax.
Here, each compartment is a small world.
Everyone is focused on their screens, and no one cares what you're doing.
You can laugh at variety shows, or you can scold at your teammates in the game.
Later, Internet cafes changed their names to "Internet cafes", obviously only one word was changed, but it sounded full of hints: the environment is more comfortable, the equipment is more advanced, and the decoration is more advanced.
It seems to have been transformed into a high-end place for leisure and coffee drinking.
As a result, when I go in, I often find that it is still the original sofa, keyboard and mouse, and nothing has been upgraded except for consumption upgrades.
But Mu Yun eats this set very much - a leisure and entertainment place, 24 hours a day, only a few dollars an hour, order a drink, move your fingers, and the whole world will converge in front of you through the Internet in a second.
Mu Yun feels that the Internet café is simply a blessed place set up by artificial people!
So, every time he went to the Internet café later, it became a habit not so much to play games.
It's like growing up, passing by the slide you used to ride on as a child.
Although you don't want to skate it anymore, you still feel nostalgic in your heart.
After all, that little slide carries a memory for you, and it has indeed brought you endless joy in a certain period of your time.
For Mu Yun, whether it is an Internet café or an Internet café, it is such a place full of memories.
