(No lie, this chapter is a bit watery, too much foreshadowing, may not be suitable for readers' appetite, subscribe with caution)
After the rain, the street was unusually cool, and Xu Xuanyue had to go back to the room to get a coat and bring an umbrella by the way. After looking at the time, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon.
Although the sky did not clear, compared to yesterday, when it rained overnight, she could see white clouds, and a little leakage of clear blue sky was enough to make her feel at ease, she took out her mobile phone and listened to the song with headphones on.
Xu Xuanyue's waterproof white shoes came in handy, and about 3 centimeters of water accumulated on the street, just below the soles of her shoes. Walking down the street to the east, it wasn't long before she saw a small hill perched on the calm water. The air by the lake was fresher than elsewhere, the scent of the earth and flowers mixed with the water rushed to her, and the gradually unobstructed nose made her feel happy, although she was playing alone, she did not feel lonely.
Walking alone once in a while is a strange pleasure. The sun sinks into the clouds and rises to the surface.
Crossing a wooden bridge, Xu Xuanyue found that she had to go up the mountain, and the rows of flowers beside the asphalt road were purple and red, which was eye-catching. She happily went, up for a while, down for a while, and walked around the hill, as if the designer did it on purpose, she had unconsciously walked on the mountainside for an hour, obviously an inconspicuous hill, but the internal road was so complicated, if it weren't for the road signs and signs, she would probably be lost. The bridge of her nose was slightly sweaty, but her steps were still brisk.
After walking for another half an hour, she heard the shouting of the city next to her ears, and the smell of snacks in her unobstructed nose, and then she remembered that her stomach was empty and she hadn't eaten lunch.
Walking to the top, Xu Xuanyue saw the commercial street that Li Mengyao said to herself, as expected, the things in it were more expensive, but after all, it was a business on the top of the mountain, fortunately, it was hard to get up, and the more she had the right to be some travel expenses.
A box of octopus balls, the salad dressing on it completely opened her stomach, there were three streets on the mountain, everywhere was fragrant, and the food was countless, she walked from south to north, and from north to south at the corner. There are more people in the empty mountain after the new rain than I imagined, and there seem to be many people who think the same as themselves, it is not rubbing shoulders, it is lively but not crowded, this is Xu Xuanyue's favorite state.
After eating and drinking, she patted her bulging little belly, and could even feel the heat being converted into fat in her body, and found a gazebo, and she sat down peacefully.
At this commanding height, Xu Xuanyue can look down on the appearance of the city, the scattered buildings, in the unique golden afterglow after the rain looks spectacular, the whole world seems to have become a wide angle, on weekdays, her vision is always blocked by all kinds of things taller than herself, and it is a special feeling to be able to suddenly be able to view.
Xu Xuanyue's phone rang.
"Dead Yuezi! Where are you going? Li Mengyao roared anxiously from the opposite side.
"What about the commercial street on the hill you said, are you embarrassed to say? He said he would go for a walk with me and sleep like a pig. ”
"Then you can wake me up!"
"Oh, I can't bear it."
"Uh-huh..... I love you, I'm going over now. ”
"Don't be, it's going to be dark soon, I'll walk back after a while, it's not too far."
"Okay, I'll order something to eat and wait for you to come back."
Xu Xuanyue put down her mobile phone, the feeling of drowsiness hit her, thinking that watching the scenery is also a rest, and taking a break in the wind is also a rest, she put on her headphones and leaned on the pillar to prepare to squint for a while, in order to make sure that in case, she booked an alarm clock in half an hour.
It's like falling into a turbulent warm current, and this sleep is fast and comfortable. But instead of the alarm clock, it was thunder that woke her up.
Xu Xuanyue opened her eyes and found that it was pitch black all around, and all she could see was the yellow light in the city below the mountain in the distance, and it was obvious that it was night. Her consciousness remained confused until a bolt of lightning struck the sky and lit up her eyes, and she reacted in a matter of seconds: the storm had returned to the clouds.
"Damn, it's over......" Xu Xuanyue jumped up suddenly, wondering why the alarm of the mobile phone didn't wake her up, she looked at the phone to see what time it was, but no matter how many times she clicked the power button, the mobile phone did not respond, this is when she remembered that she had not charged it since she got off the train.
Another flash of lightning, accompanied by the thunder that wanted to cut the sky open, a strong sense of panic rushed into her heart like a tide, and she was about to run down the hill.
I don't know if it was like this, or if the lightning split the electric box, all the street lights I passed by were like decorations, refusing to emit the slightest light, squinting and pacing, not daring to run at all. When she walked downhill, she was as slow as a little old lady walking on crutches.
The surrounding water vapor became more and more neutral, light raindrops began to fall, and the wind was blowing, Xu Xuanyue felt that she had been walking for a long time, and when she looked up again, she saw the gazebo where she had fallen asleep just now.
"What!" Xu Xuanyue panicked, so in fact, she had been going around in circles?
Is the designer of this hill of M sick!
She stood there and looked around, it was pitch black, like a film in black and white, the darkness was turned to the lowest, and she couldn't tell where the way down the mountain was except for the beautifully colored garbage cans.
The black clouds carrying the torrential rain didn't seem to give her more time to hesitate, it no longer held the load-bearing water, and thousands of raindrops pierced the ground like sharp swords, so big that the umbrella that Xu Xuanyue had just opened made a loud sound, and her hand was numb, and she ran back to the pavilion directly.
Now there is no battery on the mobile phone, the storm blows the rain into the gazebo, and he is also alone. At the same time that the coolness rushed into Xu Xuanyue's 1 body and 1 body, it also entered her heart, she couldn't help but hold her body and tremble, she was startled, touched her forehead, and sure enough, she began to get hot again, and she had a fever again.
She looked at the shopping street not far from her, which was black like a long belt. It seems that all the merchants closed the door and refused to do business, and Xu Xuanyue was about to cry.
In the white smoke raised from the ground, Xu Xuanyue squinted her eyes and saw a glimmer of light, flickering at the end of the third commercial street.
A glimmer of hope flashed in front of her eyes, and she walked inside with an umbrella, her feet were soft, and she felt that her strength was being drained little by little.
The trouser leg was wet and stuck to the calf, and the cold feeling was very uncomfortable.
It was a café with a glimmer of light, and when it was ten meters away, the faint yellow light inside disappeared, which caused Xu Xuanyue to shout in the rain: "Wait a minute! ”
The moment she rushed to the door, a strong wind blew and blew away the umbrella in her hand, and the hair on her forehead was already wet with rain, and she didn't know what else she could do if the store didn't open for her.
"Anyone?" Xu Xuanyue knocked on the door, and the sound of her fist hitting the glass was not loud.
"Hello, can you open the door?" There was a black hole inside, and there was still no response.
After insisting on knocking for another 5 minutes, Xu Xuanyue even began to wonder if she had hallucinations just now, she was disheartened, looking at the scene of the torrential rain in front of her, her nose gushed out with a strong sourness, and she sat on the ground and cried.
Xu Xuanyue thought to herself: If she is really a princess, then at this time, there will definitely be a prince.
"Uh...... Excuse me, did you knock on the door just now? A warm boy's voice came, and in the cold night, it became the only warm temperature.
Xu Xuanyue raised her head and saw that the door of the store was opened, and there was a yellow glimmer inside.
"Yes, it's me, can you ......" Seeing the boy's face, Xu Xuanyue was stunned for a moment.
The boy moved to the side, letting the light shine on Xu Xuanyue's face, and then was taken aback, opening his mouth wide as if he had seen a ghost, Xu Xuanyue didn't know if he screamed.
"Silly melon! Why are you here! ”
