Chapter 8: Rainstorms and Rainbows
At noon, Xiao Ming walked to the intersection of Lannan Expressway and Shangnan Expressway.
Coming to the bottom of the highway, Xiao Ming went up to the top of the viaduct. The weather was too hot at noon, Xiao Ming planned to take refuge under the viaduct for a while, took out a bottle of water from his backpack, and took a can of canned fruit.
Although he can't eat enough, he is not too hungry, after all, the physical strength has increased greatly, the increase in endurance is just non-stop walking, and it is not tiring for Xiao Ming now.
After eating, Xiao Ming lay on the bridge pier, his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he was asleep or not.
Although it was summer, Xiao Ming didn't hear any cicadas, but the wind blew the grass, and the sound of shala-la-la, which had a different feeling.
Enjoy the cool breeze blowing from time to time, as if you are far away from the end times, away from everything. In this way, Xiao Ming really fell asleep.
When he woke up, the sky was a little darker, and he deftly flipped from under the bridge pier to the high-speed bridge, Xiao Ming found that it was not almost night, but dark clouds, and a rainstorm was coming.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming was a little happy, after coming to the end of the world, this was the first rain he encountered.
"Oh, yes!!" Xiao Ming patted his head, as if he remembered something.
I saw him put the backpack down, squatted on the ground, and opened the backpack.
"Hehe, life-saving thing, you can't get wet." Xiao Ming tied the bag containing the map tightly to make sure it would not get into the water, and then put it back in the backpack.
This backpack is not a waterproof backpack, it doesn't matter if everything else gets wet, except for the map.
I put my backpack back on my back, picked up the watermelon knife on the ground, and played with a knife flower before hitting the road again.
Unlike the hot and dry weather in the morning, the wind tends to get stronger and stronger at this time.
The clouds also became more and more thick, and on the empty highway, even the sky seemed a little lower.
Before the rain fell, the thunder in the sky had already sounded, and from time to time the muffled thunder became loud.
The continuous thunder summoned lightning and thousands of volts of high-voltage electricity, illuminating the sky and illuminating the dim earth.
The lightning was shining more and more rapidly, and the whole world seemed to be turned into daylight, and then the rain that brought life to all things was too late.
Feeling a drop of rain fall on his face, Xiao Ming stopped and muttered, "The rain that brings vitality to all things and washes all things in the world?" ”
"Maybe it can really bring life! Rain can also bring disaster! The corners of Xiao Ming's mouth grinned slightly, leaking a smile that was difficult to find.
"Click" A flash of lightning flashed, and the mythical thunder that punished sin just illuminated half of Xiao Ming's face.
With this lightning, the light rain that was a little light just now turned into a torrential rain in an instant.
Xiao Ming tightened his hat and continued to walk forward unmoved.
Suddenly, there seemed to be only dark clouds, thunder, lightning, and the weak figure on the highway.
The wind gradually became stronger, and the cold rain hit the face, and it gradually became a little painful.
This made Xiao Ming have to pull his hat from time to time, saving him from being blown off by the wind.
…………
The weather in summer is changing, and this rain did not last long, and it came and went quickly.
It's hard to imagine that just now it was still a violent storm, and the scene of the sky about to collapse has become cloudless.
Sunlight was shining through the sky again, and a rainbow rose in the sky.
Xiao Ming, who hadn't seen a rainbow for many years, decided to stop and enjoy the rare rainbow.
Shaking off the remaining rain, he took off his hat and took a deep breath of the fresh air after the rain.
Looking at the rainbow that sprinkled from the sky at one end and stretched into the distance at the other end, Xiao Ming's heart also calmed down.
"It seems that this rain is still the rain that brings life!" Xiao Ming had a smile on his face, and the haze of the past was also swept away with this rain.
Xiao Ming sat on the guardrail of the high-speed, with his feet in mid-air, a leisurely and complacent look, and those who didn't know would definitely not have thought that Xiao Ming had been afraid of heights.
Until the rainbow dissipates from the sky, and the sun dyes the clouds in the sky with a golden glow.
At this time, Xiao Ming realized that time was running out and it was time to hit the road.
The weather after the rain is much more comfortable than in the morning, and the feeling is different from that of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the weather after the rain in summer is like the fifth season.
Although his shoes were already wet, Xiao Ming was reluctant to step on the rain and walked on the guardrail, hanging high in the air on one side and dirty water on the other.
Fortunately, despite the disrepair, the highway drainage system was still strong, and in a short time, the rainwater on the highway was emptied.
After the rain was emptied, the road revealed the original appearance of the road, although it was no longer flat, although it was full of potholes and ravines, but he Xiao Ming loved this kind of road.
Immediately, he jumped from the guardrail on the side of the road to the dilapidated highway, humming a little song and shaking his head to get off the road.
At this time, the sunlight shone on Xiao Ming's body from the back left, and from a distance, it seemed that Xiao Ming's entire body was plated with a layer of golden light.
However, Xiao Ming disagreed, and continued to hum the minor tune that only he could understand.
…………
The sun was gradually about to set, and Xiao Ming used the chakra to speed up his pace.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Xiao Ming saw a sign on the side of the road that was only two kilometers away from the service area.
Seeing this standard configuration, Xiao Ming immediately exploded with all his strength, and his speed increased little by little.
It wasn't until he was about to approach the service area that Xiao Ming slowed down.
Entering the service area, the cars scattered here and there represent people staying in this service area before the end of the world.
Even if there are no vehicles, there are staff in the service area.
After inspecting the entire service area, Xiao Ming came to the supermarket in the service area, and looked at the supermarket, which was almost full of food, Xiao Ming was relieved.
Randomly cleaned up a sleeping place, Xiao Ming began to pick his own dinner on the container.
"Canned!" Xiao Ming was pleasantly surprised to find some canned food.
As the time in the last days became longer and longer, Xiao Ming found that he liked to eat these canned foods, which were once tasteless and discarded.
Take all the canned food on the shelves to the place where you just packed up.
"Beef?" Looking at the somewhat unclear logos on the package, Xiao Ming did not hesitate, picked up the spare watermelon knife, and opened the can directly.
I didn't care about washing my hands, so I picked up a piece with a knife, "It's really beef!" Xiao Ming couldn't help but smile happily.
You know, he hasn't eaten meat for a long time.
People are iron, meat is steel, and if you don't eat it for a long time, there are always people who are not used to it.
I opened my backpack and took out another jar of canned fruit.
A mouthful of meat, a mouthful of fruit, so happy, just short of wine, but unfortunately Xiao Ming doesn't like to drink, he can drink, but he doesn't love it.
Xiao Ming prefers to enjoy life, and he prefers to live in the present rather than pursuing the future.
After eating, Xiao Ming used these two empty cans to make a simple warning at the door, and fell asleep peacefully.
