Because he didn't sleep all night, after getting into the car, Han Le began to doze off, in a daze, Han Le smelled a familiar smell of tobacco, he turned his head and saw Su Pei behind him, holding a cigarette in his hand to swallow the clouds and puff out the fog, one-fifth of the length of the cigar in front of the cigar had turned to ash, but it did not fall off.

Su Pei glanced at Han Le: "Do you want me to pinch it off?" ”

Han Le shook his head, glanced at Qiao Yiyu who was sitting in the driver's seat again, and then moved his attention to the car window, this is no longer the face of the city, there are many buildings on both sides of the road that look like factories, and even large yellow rape fields can be seen.

"Can you put on some songs?" After a while, Han Le, who felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little dull, said.

"What do you want to hear?"

"Just the album you released."

The music sounded quickly, the car was very quiet, and the road conditions were good, it was very suitable for listening to such light music, listening to every note that was plucked out of the music, Han Le could almost imagine Qiao Yiyu playing this song...... After a while, he fell asleep again.

In the deep dream, the background sound of the car disappeared, and after a while, the window glass on Han Le's side was knocked on, he opened his eyes with difficulty, Su Pei was looking at him outside, with an unclear smile, and motioned to him to get out of the car: "Soon we have time to sleep." ”

In front of them, a villa that is not small, the decoration is a bit American style, it looks very suitable for leisure and comfort, but compared with the "house" in the American drama, there is less of the iconic swimming pool at the door, but there are two more rows of big trees, and they are standing in the middle of these two rows of trees at the moment. The temperature was very high, but the shade of these trees made Han Le feel a little cool. When following Su Pei in, Han Le noticed that there were several teenage children shooting birds with slingshots on the edge of the tree behind him, and Han Le heard their voices: "Right there, yellow ......"

"Is this where you usually live?" After following Su Pei in, Han Le asked Qiao Yiyu that she had just squeezed a large glass of juice for the two of them and brought it over.

"Yes," Qiao Yiyu nodded, "It's quieter here...... Would you like something to eat? ”

Look at the time, it's also lunch time, Han Le didn't refuse, Qiao Yiyu took Han Le to visit the kitchen, and Han Le was surprised as soon as he entered: "You are simply a small supermarket." "On one side of the kitchen, there is a large shelf like a supermarket freezer, but it is sealed with glass, and a lot of food is neatly stacked inside.

"I'm too lazy to come out to buy things, so I can only eat frozen." Qiao Yiyu said as she skillfully held between these shelves, vegetables, meat, and eggs......

"Come down to eat in half an hour, and you can walk around by yourself...... Get acquainted with it, and you're probably going to be here for decades. ”

"It's not awake." Han Le said a word, but still went out.

The first floor is mainly the hall, kitchen, garage, storage room, belongs to the practical area, basically nothing to see, in the garage Han Le saw several motorcycles that seemed to be very old, Han Le imagined that Qiao Yiyu used to ride them, to be honest, it was a little different from the consistent influence she gave herself.

The second floor is much better, a very large, wide view balcony, there are reclining chairs on the balcony, Su Pei is already lying there, I don't know where to find wine for myself, pour half of it, put it on the balcony guardrail, see Han Le raised his body a little, and then pointed to a painting on the wall and said: "She still has a long head." ”

Following his point, Su Pei saw a self-portrait, the Qiao Yiyu in the painting was very similar to the Qiao Yiyu he had seen on the CD case, but instead of holding the guitar, he simply looked at the camera, and the angle of the painter was very similar to the one Han Le had seen.

"Pong!" The glass of wine that Su Pei put just now suddenly turned into pieces, and before the two of them could react to what was happening, several of the perpetrators downstairs were nervous and ran away in a swarm, Han Le leaned over, picked up an irregular pebble on the floor, and smiled: "They hit it really accurately." ”

On both sides of the hall on the second floor is a slip room, many rooms are filled with beds, empty, it seems to be a guest room, and there is a simple activity room, there are a few simple fitness equipment and guitars in the activity room, only the door of the bedroom in the corridor is locked, it should be Qiao Yiyu's own bedroom.

Han Legang wanted to go to the third floor, but was stopped by Su Pei: "I saw it just now, the door is locked, and it is estimated that it is reserved for us." ”

At this time, Han Le saw that the children who broke the glass appeared downstairs again, but they all drooped their heads, and they were followed by a middle-aged couple, still talking to them as they walked, it seemed that they were teaching them a lesson, Han Le guessed that they should have come to apologize, so he went downstairs to greet them.

Han Le's guess was really right, the couple were the parents of the perpetrators, and after they came in, they solemnly asked them to go up and apologize to Su Pei, after saying sorry, several children were invited by Han Le to drink orange juice, but they obviously had little patience, and after staying for a few minutes, they made an excuse and slipped out again, leaving only the man to greet them: "We just moved in, and we live in front, how long have you been living here?" ”

Han Le is not very good at chatting, this task will be handed over to Su Pei, he happens to be a little idle, there is a nonsense chatter without a word, to Han Le's surprise, there is a 35-year history difference between them, Su Pei chatted with them at all, and even talked about some current affairs topics. Han Le listened to the meeting on the side, and probably knew that the man lived in the countryside because he couldn't afford a house in the city and had many children, but he still had to go to the city to work, and he usually lived in the company dormitory, and he would only come back on weekends.

Qiao Yiyu soon came over and called them to eat, and the couple said goodbye, at the dinner table, Su Pei was concerned about the price of the house, Qiao Yiyu smiled: "There is no comparison, if you sell all this house, you can't change the bathroom in the city." ”

Lunch is very simple, it is back to the pot meat and a preserved egg tofu, plus a tomato soup, but Han Le eats very fragrant, and feels more comfortable than eating lobster in the hotel. After eating, Qiao Yiyu went to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and when he came back, he said, "I'll take you to see the place of hibernation." ”

Su Pei and Han Le subconsciously glanced at each other, nodded and followed.

Han Le had already seen it just now, there was only one door at the end of the stairs on the third floor, and there was no keyhole on the door, which should be a common sound recognition lock in this era, Qiao Yiyu said on the side of the door: "Open the door with sesame." The door opened, and the two men who followed laughed.

"I just set this password," after pushing the door open, Qiao Yiyu said while operating a computer screen on the wall behind the door, "By the way, I also added your voices...... Whatever password you want to set, just think about it, and you may use it in the future. ”

Han Le leaned over and said his name into the microphone: "Han Le." ”

Su Pei had used a similar function, so he said something simple to prevent himself from forgetting: "Open the door." ”

The third floor is different from the second floor just now, the sense of space is very narrow, the room they are staying in now is a little more smiling than the ordinary guest room on the second floor, the three of them are a little crowded standing here, in addition to this computer screen in the room, there are only a few cabinets embedded in the wall, there is a door in front, this door looks thick, there is also a screen on it, Han Le leaned up to see, several curves were displayed on the screen at the same time, Han Le recognized one of the straight lines, which represented the temperature, and stayed at 24 degrees Celsius.

At this time, Su Pei, who was behind him, suddenly let out an exclamation: "Gun? ”

Han Le leaned over and saw that Su Pei had already opened one of the cabinet doors, and there were two pistols and bullets in it. Qiao Yiyu explained: "A friend gave it to me, and it was placed here, and the things here are all just in case...... I've been robbed* once, and I can defend yourself by putting it here. ”

Then she opened the other cabinets, which contained medicines, food, and clothing, things that might be needed when you woke up from hibernation: "I'm not sure you're going to use these...... But for a long time in the future, it is true that it will not be as peaceful as these decades, so be prepared. ”

"Is it going to be a war?" Su Pei seems to be interested in this topic.

"It's not a war," Qiao Yiyu shook his head in denial, "There may be some chaos, and the probability that you will encounter it is very small, so it should be a precautionary measure." ”

While speaking, Qiao Yiyu then opened the thicker door inside, there is a small handle on the side of the door, you need to shake the handle to open, after entering, Qiao Yiyu turned on the light, inside are two professional-looking "hibernation beds", in line with the bottom of the human body curve, the other five sides around are transparent, and there is also an instrument at the head of the bed, which displays the information in the monitoring bed.

……

Back to the 2nd floor, Qiao Yiyu took the computer to open a website, the interface of the website needs to enter a password, this password has been set, and the user Qiao Yiyu has also helped the two of them register, just use the names of the two of them - there is no registration function in the interface of this website, from the current point of view, it is only open to the three of them. After entering the website, there is a very simple interface, which will display the recent login time of the three people, as well as the messages left behind, Qiao Yiyu specially explained again: "No matter what the situation is to wake up...... Remember to do a login first, if the website can't be accessed, then find a way to get to the address of this house...... This is Jiangzhou Province...... Well, it's best to keep it in your pockets. ”

"How to do it is the same as a doomsday novel...... Han Le was made unnatural by Qiao Yiyu's solemnity, and the previous hibernation had already made him feel that hibernation seemed to be a matter of closing his eyes and opening his eyes.

"Han Le, if I say it, you may not be able to believe it yourself," Qiao Yiyu said slowly, "In the 35 years that you have been hibernating, there have been three fires within 200 meters of your room alone, and as for the theft cases in your community, and even burglaries and robberies, I don't know how many, and now I feel scared in retrospect, so when the hibernation technology matures, I will send you to a professional hibernation hospital as soon as possible...... If it weren't for the sake of secrecy, I'd really like to have a few people in charge of the housekeeping. ”

Hibernating people will never have the right to speak, because they are independent of time, and Han Le and Su Pei can only accept the arrangement. The final hibernation time was set at 9 p.m., and in Su Pei's words, he needed to have a good dinner, take a hot shower, smoke his last cigar, and be in the best shape for his new life decades later.

In the afternoon, Han Le was in a daze under the shade of the tree at the door, and the children came again, but they were all studying with a computer, and their mother was a teacher. The content of learning is mathematics, almost junior high school content, a few functions of one yuan, etc., Han Le is a little puzzled: "Don't they go to school?" ”

"The quality of education in the school is not good, and it is not free, so it is better to teach it at home," the woman responded, "The online teachers teach much better classes than the school." ”

In the middle, the mother had something to do when she came home, so she asked Han Le to supervise on her behalf, and Qiao Yiyu also came over to join in the fun, and taught these children a few foreign languages by the way, how to say French, how to say Russian...... Han Le was surprised to find that these children have a much stronger grasp of language than he imagined, and one of them even spoke French very slipperily, especially the French "I love you" - after being questioned, this child who was only eleven or twelve years old was ashamed to say that he wanted to please his girlfriend, and he said that he learned it by watching TV on the Internet.

Han Le could only sigh that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves.

Unconsciously, an afternoon passed like this, and Qiao Yiyu was too lazy to stir-fry the dishes for dinner, just hot the noon dishes and cook a hot pot, Han Le ate very happily, but Su Pei still missed the French dinner in the western restaurant of the hotel, but here, the only thing Qiao Yiyu could satisfy him was a few bottles of not so superb red wine.

After eating, Han Le had a small request: "Play me a song...... It's been a long time since I've heard you play the piano. ”

This request was not too much, Qiao Yiyu readily agreed, and when she sat down with her guitar, even Su Pei was a little solemn and extinguished the cigarette in her hand.

The music was still very old-fashioned, but the melody that was repeated over and over again could not be tired of listening, and when the last note dissipated into the air, Han Le opened his eyes and said, "I'll go take a bath." ”

……

The heavy door is slowly closing, just like the cave of Ali Baba, this scene makes Qiao Yiyu a little sad, the last time she hibernated for Han Le, she basically didn't have this feeling, because hibernation was a familiar term in her concept at that time, but now, 35 years of life has made Qiao Yiyu really feel how extraordinary it is to sleep, as a tool for human beings to transcend time limits.

After sitting downstairs for a while, the neighbor's children came again, Han Le played a game with them in the afternoon, they were short of people to play now, and they came to Han Le to make up the numbers, but Qiao Yiyu could only tell them regretfully: "They have left." ”

"And when will he be back?" A few children are a little unwilling, it is rare to find such a suitable playmate, the technology is good, and the most important thing is to be able to mingle with them, such adults are less than giant pandas.

"I don't know." Qiao Yiyu could only give them a disappointing answer.

……

In childhood, everyone has a few strangers who impress them, their existence is like a strangely shaped cloud in the sky, maybe the existence in life is only a few moments, but it is enough to be remembered for a long time.

Qian Wei remembers the first time he met those two people, when he was very young, twelve years old, or thirteen, he doesn't remember much, when his parents had just moved from the city to the suburbs, life suddenly became boring, and his parents had been restricting their brothers from surfing the Internet......

At that time, what Qian Wei did all day long was to take his two stupid younger brothers who were foaming all day long to trick around, shoot sparrows with slingshots, catch insects and put them in other people's homes, and go to the field to steal other people's seeds...... Play these games, which are said to be played only by their grandparents. I remember that day it seemed to break someone else's glass, and when I got home, my brother betrayed him, and then his parents took him to the door to apologize.

There lived two men and a woman, both young, and when they were a little older, they would always maliciously speculate about their relationship, one of them was surnamed Han, the other was surnamed Su, and the female was surnamed Qiao, who was very beautiful. In my memory, the guy surnamed Han played a very good game, and in my eyes when I was a child, I was simply a god-like existence, but then I saw more and knew that it was average, but this was not the point.

I remember that it was another boring afternoon, and I was racking my brain to solve a dazzling geometry problem, and I don't know where my father found these problems...... The two younger brothers kept chatting about the recent hot topics and their desire to hibernate when they grew up, and their mother asked them why, and they said that they would be able to live forever.

"Everyone wants to live forever, everyone goes to hibernation, isn't it the same when you wake up from hibernation? Maybe it could be worse. Qian Wei remembered that he despised it so much at the time - now that he thinks about it, he feels red at the root of his ears.

Then they saw a truck stop at the door, the woman surnamed Qiao got out of the driver's seat of the truck and took a few workers upstairs - there have been, I haven't seen her for four or five years, I feel that she is exactly the same as in my memory, women of this age are the most likely to get old, but Qian Wei can't see it at all.

An hour or two later, the workers hung a large piece of cloth-covered furniture from the upper floor, which looked like a horizontal cabinet, and after a while, put down another one. Qian Wei doesn't remember what he thought at the time, when the workers were called in to drink water, he took advantage of the family's inattention, and sneaked over and slipped into the car.

And now, Qian Wei glanced at the hibernation treatment application form in front of him, and subconsciously thought of the strange and familiar face he saw through the glass a few years ago, just because of a woman, she went to hibernate when she fell out of love - this kind of thing seemed ridiculous to him in his childhood eyes, but now, it has become the subconscious choice of these adults. Qian Wei didn't know whether this was progress or regression, but when he thought of his loss and depression during this period of time, he still gritted his teeth and signed his name.
