Chapter Forty-Eight: Lin Yue and I are on the rooftop
When I was 11 years old, I watched the Leonid meteor shower with my neighbor's sister. When the stars hung silver marks across the night sky, she held my hand tightly, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she kept making exclamatory sounds. At that time, I looked at her back in the night and thought it was an angel.
And then I grew up a little bit. One day she came to me after school, and we went up to the rooftop again. She told me that they were moving and leaving because of her father's job transfer. I remember being angry, but I didn't know why I was angry at the time.
At that time, I didn't have a mobile phone, and I didn't know if I would ever see her again. So we left each other a souvenir -
I gave her a portrait of her, which I painted myself, and now I think about it, it was really ugly. And she, on that rooftop, lightly imprinted a kiss mark on my face.
Regardless of the process, she eventually left, leaving the city. That night, we agreed that no matter where we were, we would come back ten years from now.
Later, we also moved, and after moving into the new house, the first thing I did was to visit the house on the top floor, so that after getting acquainted with them, I could go to their private rooftop to see the stars. My goal was quickly achieved, but I found that the night sky of a person did not seem to be so beautiful.
I don't know when, the stars in the sky are missing one by one, and the originally clear starry sky seems to be covered by a layer of black cloth. I can no longer see the night of that year, I can no longer see the girl of that year.
The slightest chill pulled me back to reality, the city buildings in the distance were still shining with fire, and I seemed to hear the zombies roaring. I feel like I've forgotten my childhood promise, and maybe she's forgotten it too. Even if I still remember it in my heart, even if she remembers it in her heart, but in today's world, what promise can be kept......
A footstep came from behind, and his thoughts were in a mess just now, and he didn't even hear anyone come up. I didn't look back because I felt it was Sister Peng. I looked into the distance and said casually, "I haven't slept yet." ”
There was no answer, the footsteps stopped behind me and seemed to be some distance away, and before I could wonder, someone threw something on me, and I quickly took it away to see that it was the leather jacket. When I turned around again, I realized that it was Lin Yue.
I looked at her in surprise, but she stared at me with a frown.
"You ......"
"What are you!" Lin Yue pinched her waist with both hands and said, "Do you think it's Sister Peng who came!" ”
Belch...... I unconsciously scratched my head and asked, "You... What are you doing here? ”
"Humph!" Lin Yue's breath seemed to spurt out from her nose, and said, "I'm afraid that you will freeze into a popsicle and fall to your death!" ”
This girl is really temperamental...... I looked at the leather jacket and said to Lin Yue, "Thank you." ”
Hearing this, her face became a little better, and she walked over to me and sat down. I put on my leather jacket and asked, "How did you know I was here?" ”
"The half-hung company commander told me."
It seems that Zhang Weibing is already 'notorious'......
"He told me that you went downstairs, but his man named Shi Yao couldn't let you out, and you didn't go back to the house for a long time, so he said you must be here."
"Oh, it seems that this company commander is not as idiotic as he seems."
"Who can have you idiot!"
"Huh?" I wondered, "How did I recruit you again?" ”
Lin Yue glanced at me and didn't speak. Come on, I'll just shut up, and I can't tell you which sentence will provoke this eldest lady.
The two of them just sat quietly, looking into the distance together, and for a few minutes I felt like I was back in my childhood, very calm, very peaceful. This feeling, even in a previous life, has not appeared for a long time.
"Why don't you go to sleep, running in the night with a cold wind?" Lin Yue suddenly spoke.
"It's finally quiet, and I always have to find a place to catch my breath."
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, then squinted her eyes and looked at me carefully. I felt fury in my heart, so I dodged and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"You know what," Lin Yue said, "Sometimes I really think you're weird. ”
"What's ang."
"Sometimes I think you're quite changeable. I don't even blink my eyes when I kill someone, but sometimes I ...... You're like ......"
"Think I'm kind and careful?" I answered, remembering the matter of feeding her at noon today, and couldn't help but smile faintly.
Syllable!
"Why are you ang?!" I said angrily as I protected her head from the slap.
Lin Yue shook her hand and said, "As soon as I see you laughing, I think you don't think of good things!" ”
"Sick!"
"You say it again?!"
I really didn't bother to pay attention to this crazy woman, and the mood that finally relaxed made her mess. Seeing that I stopped talking and Lin Yue stopped talking, the two began to be silent again.
"Hey..."Lin Yue spoke up again.
……
"Hey! Stone! ”
"What!" I replied angrily.
"Oops! Angry? ”
"Nope! …… No. "I found that I couldn't control my emotions as soon as I said a few words to Lin Yue recently.
"You must be angry!"
"Did you say no?"
"Watch your eyes!"
"I said I'm not angry!"
"Then why don't you speak? You're just! ”
"I... Can you stop talking nonsense..."
Seeing that I looked embarrassed, Lin Yue laughed out loud, and her expression was as if she had won something good. After laughing for a while, she leaned back slightly, supported the ground with her hands, and said, "Hey, stone, let me ask you, did you have any agreements with others when you were young?" ”
Hearing this, I was stunned, "What agreement?" ”
Lin Yue paused for a moment and said softly: "Many years ago, when we were still very young, I had a very good friend. ”
"We have lived together in a compound since we were born. He was a year older than me, and he often took me to play with a group of boys, and sometimes my brother was not at home, and I was bullied and cried, so he went to help me get revenge. He also has a very good relationship with his brother, but my brother knows how to fiddle with those broken models all day long, and he doesn't like to take me out to play. I'll just run around with them. That man, he taught me how to make a slingshot, he taught me to play pinball, and I won a lot of beautiful pinballs using the methods he taught me. That's right! There was also smashing cannons, and later playing with four-wheel drive! ”
You're a man's wife, no wonder it's like this now, when I was a child, I played with boys' stuff......
Lin Yue didn't know what I was thinking, and continued: "Sometimes, we will also look at the stars like this together...... But, you know, it will be divided for a long time...... The compound was demolished, and the families moved out after receiving the demolition money, and we were also ......"
I said directly: "Then you two will agree to meet again, or ten years, or five years, or something." ”
Lin Yue looked at me in surprise and said, "How do you know ......?" ”
Gas... The old routine, my brother has also played it.
I didn't mention myself, and said directly: "You didn't kiss him to keep a souvenir or something...... Oops! You strangled me! ”
Lin Yue withdrew her hand lightly, and I tightly covered the piece of meat on my waist that was pinched by her, and scolded in my heart: Yes! That's what you did!
"Forget it, you idiot stone can't understand!"
I really don't want to talk this time, I don't know why when I talk to her, I start to lose my score, I can't make a sound, I can't make a sound.
When Lin Yue first mentioned the agreement, I was lucky enough to think that Lin Yue was the one who was her, but when I said it later, I also understood that these were two things. I don't think it's a coincidence that two people who have had the same experience can meet together now, because this kind of thing happened to many people when they were young.
When the pain had passed, I lay back and rested one foot on the edge of the rooftop, enjoying the cold breeze on my face. Lin Yue sat on the side, quietly looking into the distance, her slender back looking thin and weak in the evening breeze.
I didn't want to care about her, but after looking at her back for a while, I sat up and took off my leather jacket and draped it over her.
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Thank you......"
"Lin Yue ......"
"Huh?"
"Actually......" I stopped as soon as I said two words, because the original words I thought of later were: The word 'thank you' is the first human word you say. And since you're going to come up, can't you get two pieces of clothing?
"What?"
"Oh, nothing ......"
"Oh..."
Soon, I felt something strange about me. I gently held Lin Yue's shoulder with one hand and said, "Lin Yue." ”
She shook a little when my hand touched hers, but nothing more reflected.
"Lin Yue, I... I have something I have to ......."
"Hmm."
"Can you... Help... Help me get some ...... Is paper ......? ”
"Hmm...... Yes? Lin Yue looked back, which almost startled her, "Stone!" What's wrong with you?! ”
I guess my face was distorted, "I... My stomach hurts... Can't hold back...... You... You let Lin Yang ......"
"I'll kill you!" Lin Yue threw the leather coat in my face, and then got up angrily and left.
What a frustration! It doesn't hurt in the morning or in the evening, it has to hurt so much, eighty percent of them have been sitting here for a long time and caught a cold...... I felt like my stomach was being screwed together, and I was so high......
After enduring the most painful moment, I limped down from the roof with my stomach covered, and found the toilet on the corner of the second floor. There are definitely no zombies, as for the darkness and ghosts and the like, although I am afraid, but every time I use this kind of public squatting pit, I will think of the plot of an old domestic zombie movie: a little fat man squatting in the toilet of the ancient castle, and suddenly a withered hand stretched out in the pit, and he jumped back with a fart. Just thinking about it makes me overcome my fear a little.
After a long time, I crouched in the dark toilet room and heard footsteps outside.
"Lin Yang, I'm here."
With a bang, the toilet door opened. Then someone opened the door of the private room one by one to check, and I was in the third. As soon as the door opened, Lin Yang shone his face from the bottom to the top with a flashlight, and there was a strange sound in his mouth.
"Don't make a fuss, give me the paper."
"Whew~! How can you kid recruit my sister again! Lin Yang said in a rough voice, "Ask me to get you the paper with an unhappy face, and count me down!" ”
"No, my stomach hurts so much, let her help me get some paper."
"Really roar?!"
"Really!"
Lin Yang snorted twice, then took a few steps back, put the paper roll on the edge of the pool, and said, "Take it yourself, who made you angry with my sister again!" Roar! After speaking, he walked out, and said in a normal voice before going out: "What a smell!" ”
For the next ten minutes, I was particularly annoyed by Lin's ......
After solving the problem, I dressed up and went downstairs, and when I walked to the gate, the second lieutenant Shi Yao was gone, and another non-commissioned officer was standing there vigil, and when he saw that I didn't ask anything, he just asked me to go back quickly.
went up to the second floor, and saw Lin Yang and Zhang Weibing lying on the ground at the same time, their legs raised to 45 degrees, judging from the tight teeth and sweat of the two of them, it is estimated that they have been lifted for a while. The soldiers around them looked nervously at the two of them, and one of them also looked at his watch from time to time.
It's gambling again. I wasn't interested, so I went straight into the house. Except for Gao Xiaohan, who was still chatting with Huang Xuyang, everyone else was asleep, and Lin Yue shrank in a corner with her eyes closed. I wanted to say a few words to her, but after thinking about it, even if she didn't fall asleep, maybe I would have to quarrel again, I still had a solid vigil.
On my first night at the factory, I made five intermittent trips to the toilet. In the hall on the second floor, Lin Yang and Zhang Weibing fell asleep on the ground, and several other soldiers were still on duty at night. When I came back for the last time, my legs were twitching. Sister Peng was woken up by me, and after knowing the reason, she ignored my excuse and began to gently rub my legs, not to mention that it was really much better to press it. I remembered that Sister Peng said that she used to be a kindergarten teacher, so I guess I would rub it for those children if I had nothing to do......
On Saturday, January 26, light rain turned to clear up.
Around 3 a.m., there was another light rain outside, but it stopped quickly. The sound of a wild cat came through the window like a baby crying, and it started to happen in January. Is it spring? I found a scrap iron pipe of more than 10 centimeters, and randomly painted stickmen fighting on the wall, which I used to love to draw in junior high school classes.
When I was a student, there was no other benefit to staying up late all year round, but I practiced to sense the time of the night through the body's reactions, and I could guess it every time. Nearly an hour later, Xiao Han woke up. Originally, Huang Xuyang slept next to him, but Gao Xiaohan, this kid, still likes to beat people when he sleeps, and woke up the boy several times, so he moved to sleep far away.
"What about Huang Xuyang......" Gao Xiaohan looked at his side in a daze and snorted, then yawned again, saw me, and said, "Brother Shi Lei, you haven't slept yet......"
"No, you can go back to sleep."
Gao Xiaohan rubbed his eyes and said, "There is an army guarding this, so you can sleep at ease." ”
"Alright, sleep yours."
He sighed, turned around and was about to lie down, then got up again and said, "Come on, Brother Shi Lei, I'll keep watching, you can go to sleep quickly." ”
"Okay." I didn't hesitate to say yes.
"I'll ...... You're really welcome......" Gao Xiaohan stood up and stretched, and said, "I'll go to the toilet, I'll come back and watch it later, you can sleep first." And with that, he went out.
I lay down on my leather jacket on the floor, and I don't know how long it was, when I heard the door shut, and then I fell asleep.
I had another dream that night. In my dream, a girl was running in front and I was chasing after her, which seemed to mean that she was the girl I had agreed with. After chasing for a long, long time, I finally grabbed her shoulder, and when she turned around, I found that it was Lin Yue, she waved her hand and gave me a slap, and then took out a pile of messy toilet paper from the bag that appeared out of thin air, threw it all on me, and then turned around and ran away. I was left alone with toilet paper and standing messy in the wind......
I was walking down a crowded street with toilet paper hanging on my body, but I couldn't hear a sound, and no one paid attention to me as a 'weirdo'. There is a large screen in front of you like in Manhattan's Times Square. After a while, a cacophony of sounds came into my ears, louder and louder. Then someone was swaying me, and I woke up.
It was already bright, and I dimly saw Sister Peng calling me on the side, and someone in the room was queuing up to go out.
"What's going on?" I rubbed my eyes and sat up.
"The helicopter is coming, and on the rooftop, they are boarding this group."
It was only when I heard that I noticed a roar coming from the roof, and the whole room seemed to tremble slightly. Lin Yang had already returned, sat next to me, and said, "Fifteen people are taken away each time, and there is a certain amount of supplies." If the number of people in the previous group is not enough, the next group will be made up. ”
It seems that he didn't play blindly after playing with the company commander for a long time, and came back from inquiring about something. After the group walked out of the room, after a while, a soldier standing guard said loudly: "Change the number!" ”
Hearing this, some more people stood up, and they began to exchange cards with each other, and at the same time said the word 'good luck' to each other. A middle-aged man walked straight to us after picking up another person's card.
"You're number 37, aren't you?" The man asked.
I stood up and shook my boarding pass in my hand. The man came up and handed me one, and I took it and saw that it was a shopping card with 36 written on it. The man said "good luck" to me, and then walked back to his place and sat down.
"The boarding group gives their cards to the next group, No. 1 to No. 2, No. 2 to No. 3, and so on." Lin Yang explained to me.
"So for whom." I shook the 37 in my hand.
"The next group of survivors. It looks like another group of people came this morning, in that room. ”
Then the door opened, and a group of people walked in, all with a number plate in their hands, which seemed to belong to the room. The rest of the people began to swap, Lin Yang took the 37 in my hand, turned his head and asked, "Where is Sanba?" ”
Nobody cares. This kid doesn't say thirty-eight, he has to ask thirty-eight, who can promise him. A few girls next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard it.
"Where's Sanba?!"
As soon as the words fell, a burly man walked out of the crowd and said to Lin Yang, "Boy! Are you looking for trouble?! ”
