Chapter 20: Door-to-door
Night has quietly fallen. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were not closed, and the night breeze would occasionally blow in, wander around, and then float out again with our breath. The children's laughter is no less than during the day, because Xia Mengyou's home is not high, and occasionally you can hear some elderly people in the community chatting, chatting about what vegetables in today's vegetable market have risen again, chatting about today's news, and talking about what their children have done today. It seems that this dark shroud has not affected their lives at all.
Gradually, it was time for us to leave.
"Then let's go." Ye Fenglan stood up as she spoke. This time, Yun Feiyu also obediently stood up.
"Hmm." Xia Mengyou replied and stood up.
"Then I'll go too." I saw that the two of them had already walked to the door, and I stood up too. As soon as I walked to the door, Xia Mengyou's voice came into my ears: "Liu Yaoxi." "I froze where I was, and I hadn't even started to change my shoes. I couldn't help but roll my eyes again, Ye Fenglan and Yun Feiyu snickered when they saw my expression, I had to put the smiling face on my face again, turned around, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Stay with me a little longer, okay?" Xia Mengyou said in a low voice. My body shuddered, but I heard the two of them snickering behind me.
"Then I'll stay with you." I said yes and walked back to the living room and sat down on the couch. The two had closed the door and left. Hey, lonely men and widows, living in the same room, this is the rhythm of things......
Xia Mengyou sat next to me without saying a word, resting her head on my shoulder. I can pretty much make up the rest of the story.
After about half a minute, Xia Mengyou spoke, and said intermittently: "Just now, in the kitchen, I was interrupted by Yun Feiyu. We ...... "I'll go...... Still coming? You're a ghost, you're going to suck my yang energy, aren't you? I silently rolled my eyes in my heart.
"Uh...... Hmmm......" I was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Then we went down the boat...... Well.
Finally left Xia Mengyou's home at around eight o'clock. A man walks down the street and observes passers-by. Gradually, I suddenly didn't want to go home so quickly, so I began to wander the streets casually, and I had no energy to observe any passers-by, and my mind was already full of the mysterious fifth person. What I saw at Xia Mengyou's house this afternoon must be him (her)!
But it seemed that only I saw it, and Yun Feiyu disappeared as soon as he or she looked over. And we're back to reality, how can we still ...... Don't? That's right, his (her) strength is already above us in the future, and what I see in my dream is also his (her) ghost, and that feeling is only so real. I can't figure it out at all, I can't even tell the most basic thing is friend or foe: if it's a friend, it can completely appear, face to face with us; If it were an enemy, with his or her strength, he or she would have destroyed us a long time ago.
Just as I was thinking, my phone rang. When I took it out of my pants pocket, it was my mother, and it seemed that she wanted to ask me where I had gone.
"Son, where have you gone? Why don't you go home yet? That was a worried tone.
"I had a meal with Yun Feiyu and the others just now, and we talked a lot, but it was a little late."
"Then you should come back quickly."
"Oh, Mom, I'm not a schoolboy anymore. I want to take a walk outside, I'll come back by myself later, I have the key, if you don't come back later, you can sleep first, leave me alone. I want to be on my own. ”
"It's not a problem for elementary school students. We're worried about you......" Before Mom's words were finished, she heard Dad's whisper over there: "Let him relax alone." It's been three days of confinement, and this kind of thing happens again...... "Thank you, Dad." I said in my heart.
"But ......," Mom's mumpy voice murmured, "all right." Then he should have brought the phone to his ear again, and the volume became louder: "Then you should be alone, remember to come back early." ”
"Hmm." I replied and hung up.
Needless to say, we all know that the group of people in the future will definitely find us, as for the mysterious fifth person, although I have analyzed a lot, but I still don't know anything about him (her), I only know that his (her) strength has exceeded the scope of my imagination, and even the group of people in the future don't know the existence of that person, so why did he (she) let me see it?
Oops, I don't think about it, the more I think about it, the more problems I have, it really is.
I suddenly feel like I'm a little nowhere to go, go home? I don't want to. Unconsciously, I recalled the plot of the dream again...... Began to walk aimlessly down the street.
It wasn't until I got to the door of our community that I realized it later. It seems that my heart still wants me to go home first. I looked at my watch again: 20:56.It's nine o'clock, it's time to go back, and my parents shouldn't have slept yet. When I got home, I still had a fixed greeting, answered perfunctorily, and watched TV while lying on the sofa in the living room. From time to time, I flipped through my phone again. After feeling that there was nothing to do, I had to go to the shower and sleep.
It felt like a split second, and I was already on the bed in my bedroom. I spread my limbs and formed a "big" shape, and I closed my eyes and tried to empty my brain as much as possible, so that I could try not to think about things that made my head feel big. Gradually, drowsiness hit, and I was about to go to bed only to find that I hadn't turned off the lights yet. Alas, I don't want to go to the close, but I can't sleep if I don't. Oops, I still chose to get up and turn off the lights. "Smack." Darkness instantly enveloped the world before me.
Close your eyes and let them go; Relax, forget; Quiet, sleeping......
No way! Why are you still dreaming?! Don't? They're coming for me? In the dream, there was a thick fog, and the field of vision was only a few meters. I felt like they were coming to me because I had a clear sense that I was in a dream. I didn't want to move, so I stood there and waited for them to come to me. As a result, what I was waiting for was Yun Feiyu! When we both saw each other, we were stunned and said in unison, "Why are you here?" ”
"It looks like we're going to come to the door in the future." I say.
"Well, that's what I thought when I dreamed."
As soon as she said a few words, Ye Fenglan came into our sight, and Xia Mengyou also followed her.
"Yo, it's here." I said with a smile.
"Are they going to make a move?" Ye Fenglan asked nonsense.
"Of course, have you ever seen four people still talk freely in their dreams?" I spread my hands.
"Now that they're here, what about them?" Xia Mengyu asked.
"You ask me, who do I ask?" I reluctantly said, "It should be coming soon." According to the routine in the original dream, I should have come after I finished saying this sentence. ”
"It's me." His voice, heavenly.
"Who?" Yun Feiyu vigilantly began to look around.
"My future me." I replied, "It sounds a lot like mine." Besides, what can you see in this fog? ”
"Not bad." Xia Mengyou in the future, I can also hear this voice. Although the age is six or seven years apart, the voice has not changed much, and it can still be roughly distinguished.
"Me." Xia Mengyou spit out a word.
"Looks like you're not that stupid."
"Me." Yun Feiyu said. This obvious male voice is obviously the future Yun Feiyu.
"It's time for us to meet you too." The last one is the future Ye Fenglan.
"Then you come out." Ye Fenglan shouted.
"Okay." That future Ye Fenglan replied. As soon as the words fell, there were footsteps from one of our directions. We hurriedly stood in a row, facing the direction from which the footsteps were heard, and waited with bated breath, waiting for the person who had put us to sleep for two days; Waiting for the person who has made us experience the speed of life and death; waiting for the person who has let us experience life and death; Waiting for us in the future......
The four figures gradually became clearer and clearer......
Four people are already standing in front of us. Yun Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief all of a sudden: "I thought I could see what I looked like in the future, but it turned out to be the same as us." ”
"Hehe, I can't let you see us for the time being." The "Yun Feiyu" on the opposite side spoke. However, this does not surprise us anymore.
"Aren't you just waiting for us to come to the door? Now, here we are. The "Xia Mengyou" on the other side spoke.
"Then what are you looking for us?" Xia Mengyou asked.
"We're here to tell you what you've always wanted to know." "Ye Fenglan" said.
"That's?" Ye Fenglan asked vigilantly.
"Is that what you're for?" I made a guess.
"I" replied to me: "That's right. "Finally?!
"Not now, though." "Xia Mengyou" spoke again.
"You guys really like to sell off. What the hell do you want to do, say it quickly, don't waste time. Yun Feiyu said impatiently.
"Don't be so rude to yourself." "Yun Feiyu" said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, talk about it." I'm getting impatient either.
"Okay, let's talk about it. I'm afraid you're going to beat people if you don't say it again. "Xia Mengyou" also smiled.
"Okay, let's stop selling it." "I" 's expression became serious, "We actually came to show you how to find us. ”
"You came to us directly, and you want us to come to you?" Ye Fenglan asked.
"We can't be exposed to the eyes of people now, because we are people who have distorted time, and other people's feelings about us will be very different from those of today, and it is easy to be exposed." "Ye Fenglan" replied.
"And how do I find you?" Xia Mengyou asked a question.
"Wait a minute, wake up, and arrive at the downtown square at one o'clock in the morning. Luckily, your home is not far from there, and you can reach it by foot. "Xia Mengyou" pulled the direction back on track.
"That's all?" I asked instinctively.
"That's all, alright. You can wake up. After "I" finished speaking, he and the other three suddenly conjured four pistols from their hands, one for each of the four opposites, and pointed their guns at us in black.
"Damn!" Yun Feiyu shouted, "This way of waking up is too rough." ”
"I'll see you later." "Yun Feiyu" smiled.
"Wait, wait...... I haven't prepared yet...... "Xia Meng's words haven't finished yet...... "Bang!" "It's neat, four guns fired together. In an instant, I sat on the bed in my bedroom. I began to recall the conversation in my dream. A little? If you are found by your parents and not killed? It's so late and I'm still going out. And it's not a question of whether it's too late.
Forget it, since they let us go to them, they should remove the most basic obstacles for us.
I sat in a dark room thinking, sighed, and skillfully turned on the light, and when my eyes were adjusted to the light, I picked up my bedside watch and looked at it: 11:47. After thinking about it, he began to change out of his pajamas and put on casual clothes. He tiptoed out of the bedroom, rubbing his eyes violently, trying to clear himself up. After thinking about it again, I walked into the toilet and washed my face.
Sobered up a lot. Looking at myself in the mirror, how ordinary I looked, I asked myself: Why did I encounter this kind of thing? Who is to blame? That future self? Alas, it won't make us do anything to save the world, will it? Can I refuse? However, my inner curiosity defeated my inner opposition. Their purpose, the mysterious fifth man, was to lure me to them. I've got to figure it out. I thought as I stood in front of the mirror.
After I was a little sober, I looked at my watch again: 12:11. I went back to my bedroom. "Wow." Well? It's a mobile phone. I picked it up and took a look, it was a QQ group of the four of us. The two of them had already talked a few words, and they didn't need to look at it to know what they were discussing, and I joined the discussion. Ye Fenglan and Yun Feiyu were already ready to go, and their home was some distance from the square.
As for Xia Mengyou, she was still afraid of being discovered by her parents. I persuaded us that since they had asked us to go to them, they should have cleared some basic hurdles for us. Xia Mengyou seems to have been persuaded by me, her home is relatively close, and she can leave later.
I calculated the time, and to avoid a miscalculation, I set off a few minutes early. In the last half hour, I told myself that there was only this last half hour left, and most of the question marks in my heart would be solved.
I've gone out on the street, turned on my phone's traffic, and kept in touch with them. The occasional flash of cars and pedestrians tells me that I'm still in reality. The dim street lamps set off the darkness of the sky, and there was always light running out of a few windows in those high-rise buildings, silently expressing the various emotions of the people in that room: tired, angry, happy, excited......
I don't remember what I was thinking on the street, but I had already walked to the door of the community where Xia Mengyou's house was located. I took out my phone and looked at it, it turned out that they were still chatting, and at home for insurance, I turned the phone to silent. Judging from the messages they sent, Ye Fenglan and Yun Feiyu have converged. Xia Mengyou didn't speak much. I thought about it and dialed Xia Mengyou's phone.
A moment of waiting can always seem like a long time. As soon as the phone was connected, Xia Mengyou's low voice said: "What are you doing?" ”
"Aren't you going yet?"
"How do you know?"
"Guess."
"Ready to go."
"Come down, I'll be waiting for you at the gate of your community."
"Hmm."
Hang up. The QQ group also quieted down, probably because Yun Feiyu and Ye Fenglan converged. I just put my phone back in my pants pocket, "Wow." "What a coincidence. I thought to myself, rolling my eyes. When I looked, it turned out that Yun Feiyu was asking me where I was. I told him that I was here in Xia Mengyou Community, waiting for Xia Mengyou.
They are also not far from the city center square, and with a little calculation, we will almost arrive together, and it should be no problem before 1 o'clock. Just thinking about it, Xia Mengyou had already appeared in the field of vision. With a wave of his hand at her, she hurriedly trotted over. After a few pleasantries, we hit the road. I didn't talk much on the way, and there didn't seem to be much to talk about.
Maybe the atmosphere was a little awkward and overdone, Xia Mengyou spoke first: "What do you think about this matter?" ”
I was suddenly asked, and turned my head to look at her, which was unusually serious. I was going to make a joke about looking at it with my eyes, but it turned out to be a joke when I saw her serious face, and then I turned my head to look forward and replied earnestly: "This whole thing is full of doubts, although we may have a partial answer later, of course, I'm sure, only partially." ”
"I really want to, but I still want to ask, why?"
"Intuition." I only spat out two words.
"You answer...... It's so irresponsible. ”
"I'm telling the truth." Seeing that the downtown square has gradually entered our sight.
The phone in our pocket suddenly rang, and we both jumped around. I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and looked, it turned out that Yun Feiyu was calling.
"Where have you been? We've all arrived. ”
"I'm almost there, I've seen the square, where are you in the square?"
"Center."
"Okay, I'll be right there." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, and turned his head to Xia Mengyou, "They have arrived, let's speed up." ”
"Aang." Xia Mengyou replied, and we quickened our pace. After a while, two figures standing in the center of the city were already in sight.
The central square is very empty, and there are still some faint lights around the square, barely illuminating the whole square. The moon seemed to know what we were going through, and hid behind the clouds in a fitting way, and there were few stars, just twinkling quietly. The wind hides uninterestingly, and the environment seems to be very quiet, and at this time there should be a few gusts of wind to render the atmosphere.
