Chapter 2 Into the City
Hurry up, Liu Xin and his "old man" caught up one second before the shuttle bus departed, and the "old man" first asked Liu Xin to run faster, and rushed to the bus to tell the driver that there were still people below.
The driver turned his head to look at Liu Xin, who was sweating profusely and was standing on the stairs up and down the front door of the shuttle bus, and said to Liu Xin while tapping the brakes: "Behind you is your old man?" ”
Liu Xin took a few deep breaths: "Hmm~ Well, the driver's master, I'm sorry, please wait a moment, my old man is still behind!" ”
When the driver heard the way I was talking, his attitude softened a lot, nodded, and asked me to go to the back to find a seat. I thanked the driver and went to find a seat. The old man caught the bus, smiled at the driver and nodded, and then sat down in the seat next to me. The driver reminded everyone to fasten their seat belts and then drove off the hailing station.
The vehicle starts, and it is a steep slope to go down suddenly, most of the township roads are winding and rugged, the gray cement road is like a gray python, folding the body one by one, how powerful the python's folded body is, how tortuous the cement road into the city is. I hurriedly fastened the old man's seat belt. Since I was sitting on the side of the hallway, I put the handrail down and put my right hand tightly on the handrail to prevent the downhill shuttle from hitting the backrest of the front seat or being flipped into the aisle. The old man's expression was calm, his eyes stared out of the window without blinking, the bare red stone cliffs and bushes outside the half-open car window were pulled into clusters of blurred red and green halos, the window was like a person's tongue when whistling, and the vehicle was moving, and the window trembled under the impact of the wind and whistled ~ .
"Taking a rural shuttle bus is much more exciting than riding a roller coaster!" Liu Xin thought to himself.
After grasping the stability, then Liu Xin had the heart to look at the interior of the shuttle, this car has some years, the driver is a person who loves to be clean, there is no trace of garbage and dust in the carriage, the fly in the ointment of the smooth carriage is that many places have been stripped, exposed silver-white steel, and the ash and mud on the feet of me and the old man are in stark contrast to the smooth carriage, I dare not settle down, so I have to stand on tiptoe. The old man soon fell asleep leaning against the window, and from time to time there were thorny branches extending to the window, but there was no need to worry that these thorny branches would scratch the sleeping passengers, because the thorny branches that could reach the car had already been broken. After I paid my fare and the old man, I stared at the screen of my phone and began to memorize words. This phone was originally my mother's.,White shell,Two narrow slits cracked on the screen from the upper right corner to the lower left corner.,It's a figure-of-eight.,I don't care if you don't send it.,Anyway, it's barely usable now.。 In a daze, I heard the people in the front row discussing which nephew had joined the army and went to the city to join the army, and the small discussion was quickly replaced by the sound of even breathing, and my sleepiness was like a warm current from the sedentary waist and shoulders to the brain, I rubbed my dry eyes, the eye sockets were slightly hot, I hid the mobile phone and the change close to my body, and then looked at the old man, and found that the old man was sleeping and humming, and I also happily closed my eyes.
"Hey~hey~, it's time to get off the station!"
I felt someone push my shoulder a few times, and in the haze, I opened my eyes and saw that the driver was telling me and the old man to get out of the car, I woke up the old man, and we were ready to get out of the car together.
A pair of red sneakers stepped on the land of Jiangcheng, followed by a pair of brown leather shoes. The old man and I were reluctant to take a taxi and walked to the mobile phone store. At this time, the old man was quite reserved, and Liu Xin was familiar with these environments in the city. When I entered the mobile phone store, I was greeted by rows of glass cabinets, which were divided into small rooms around the load-bearing pillars of the hall.
Two sales ladies in blue business clothes were talking and laughing with each other, but when they saw us coming in, they smiled and said, "Come buy a mobile phone?" ”
I said, "I want a phone that runs fast, which means it has a lot of memory." ”
I thought about it when I came, don't have so many bells and whistles, memory is king.
"Are you saying that the storage space should be large? This has a 128GB smartphone, take a look? ”
The sales lady shrunk her neck, squinted her eyes and asked suspiciously.
I quickly shook my head and said no, the memory size is not equal to the storage space size.
Another sales lady hurriedly said, "It seems that you are very professional!" I'll ask a technician to help you buy! ”
Just when the first sales lady smiled and invited me and the old man to go to the round table next to rest, the next sales lady turned to find the technician. Liu Xin saw a smartphone with a black curved screen in the counter flashed, and the white shimmer of a finger in the center of the pitch-black screen flashed and flashed, Liu Xin looked at the screen of this mobile phone blankly, the flickering of the white light on the screen and the beating of Liu Xin's heart gradually coincided, Liu Xin's eyebrows trembled slightly, his eyelids were slightly closed, his pupils were slowly diverging, and his mouth was unconsciously slightly open. In the glass case, the white light on the mobile phone screen is shining, like the stars in the night sky; Outside the glass cabinet, Liu Xin in addition to the heart is still constantly catering to the flickering of white light like a puppet, he feels very psychedelic, half-asleep Liu Xin's middle finger suddenly moved, the flash on the mobile phone screen immediately stopped beating, slowly, the round light points up and down the left and right light extension to form a symmetrical four sharp corners, once the sharp corners are formed, the whole light cluster begins to rotate clockwise, between rotations, countless small light points form a whirlpool, the vortex of light starts from the rotating light cluster on the mobile phone from small to large, Among the swirls, the twelve gold-trimmed dials are as clean and warm as mutton fat jade on one side, and as black and sharp as obsidian on the other. Twelve dials were arranged in a circle in front of Liu Xin, and the surrounding environment seemed to be frozen.
"Found you!"
A clear magnetic male voice entered Liu Xin's brain.
"Who? What's wrong? ”
Liu Xin's consciousness returned, and in the face of the strange scene in front of him, Liu Xin squatted down slightly, lowered his center of gravity, took half a step back, and stared at the whirlpool in front of him with slightly squinted eyes, like a fishhook hooking a fish.
After waiting for a while, Liu Xin, who went from panic to numbness, seemed to have turned on a strange switch in his heart, loosened his shoulders and began to look at the surrounding environment. First of all, there are the twelve dials in front of you, of which the white side is facing you, and except for a long black hand in the center of the left half of the dial that is slowly turning, the other dials are still and still, and the swirl of light is constantly turning, and this moment it seems that it is exactly past nine o'clock.
"It all comes from the black phone, which is obscured by the twelve dials and the swirls, so it's better to leave it alone. What happened to that male voice just now? Found me? Do I know? Did you come to me? ”
Thinking of this, Liu Xin looked around and found that all the scenes around him were in a frozen state, a sales lady was smiling and pouring water for the old man, the spout of the electric kettle pulled down the flat and transparent water column, a few scattered water droplets hovered in the air, and the heat emitted by the water column and the water in the paper cup was also frozen in the air, not dispersed. The old man sat stiffly with his feet crossed, but his face was pretending to be calm. Another sales lady who went to call the technician was about to shout with her left foot hanging in the air and opening her mouth wide. The pedestrians outside the door either looked calm or anxious, and all the beings froze in place. Liu Xin felt a pain in his head, as if he hadn't slept well for several days and nights. This kind of experience was only experienced by Liu Xin during the winter vacation of his sophomore year when he helped the mushroom plantation farm carry the mushroom seed bags during the day for two consecutive days, and stayed up all night at night to burn the coal stove and use steam fumigation to fumigate the mushroom seed bags.
Liu Xin frowned tightly and rubbed his eyebrows with the back of his hand, thinking, "There is no one else, judging by this situation, I am a big deal, what should I do?" Sick of it! ”
