Yu Shan once again felt his body enter the suctioning mucus, first his left foot, then his entire body. This time he was prepared, and staying active for a long time allowed him to be a step up and balance better than his peers. He stumbled only a few steps, then steadied himself.

After taking the first breath of air, Yu Shan felt a little cold. At the same time, his body fed back two completely contradictory sensations of temperature to him at the same time: the left half of his face felt like the first breath of air he inhaled, a little cold; The right half of his face, which is exposed to direct sunlight, feels a little hot. He squinted his eyes and saw that the sun had just jumped over the five-story house not far away.

The streets are colder than the air, with most of the shops closed and few pedestrians on the streets. Occasionally, a few middle school students are either riding bicycles with school bags on their backs, or elderly people who are exercising in the morning with their Walkman listening to the radio. The entrance of the grocery store diagonally opposite has changed, and at some point a shed wrapped in colored fiber plastic sheeting has been erected, and in the shed is driving a steaming oil pot, and a middle-aged man is wearing an apron full of oil stains, picking up two long chopsticks and frying fritters; A woman of about the same age was busy serving tofu brains to the only diner in the shed.

Yu Shan thought about it for a moment, and he clearly remembered that the last time he came here was noon, about twelve o'clock. And now the time ...... He subconsciously lifted his watch to see the time, but then gave up on this stupid move. If his Tissot watch could accurately describe the time in the world behind the door, then Nassot would not have been a watchmaking company, or at least a super quantum institute that Hawking would have convinced.

Yesterday's Gate Rule 1: Ignore the speed of time between the two worlds, and after traveling through the past, no matter how long you stay there, you will come back and find that only two minutes have passed. The reverse is also true, no matter how long you've been here, you'll find that it's only been two minutes since you last left.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Shan's heart was as cold as the morning in the late spring or early autumn of the ninety-eighth year. Apparently, Joss wore it again after he left, otherwise it would have been noon.

And he's sure Joss must have had an accident. Otherwise, he would not have missed the phone before, let alone left his wallet, keys, and mobile phone on the counter of the video store.

Yu Shan stood blankly on the street in the early morning of '98, two fatal questions bothering him and leaving him at a loss. First of all, he didn't know how much time had passed here because of Joss's crossing. There's no way to know exactly how long Joss has been here. It was fatal, because Jos, who had an advanced malignant tumor, had already given up treatment, and the doctor's sentence was only a short one-month sentence; The other one is even worse! Qibei City in 98 was both familiar and unfamiliar to Yu Shan. Born and raised in Si, but because of more than ten years, the memories left in his mind have become very blurred. He only remembered that in Qibei in 98, the population of the urban area had already exceeded the one million mark. And how easy is it to find a Joss who does not belong to this time and space in the vast sea of people?

He didn't know where Old Joe was here, and he didn't know whether Old Joe planned to die quietly here this time, or if he wanted to burn his last life, and try his best to obsessively rewrite the history that has made him continue to this day.

For a mistake that was not his own seventeen years ago, he punished himself for seventeen years, and finally had to take his life...... Is it all worth it? Yu Shan always knew that Qiao Si was a little obsessed with the things of the past, but he never thought that Qiao Si was not only obsessed, but even distorted.

He regretted it now, regretting that he shouldn't have been so obvious when he rejected Joss, and he should have stabilized it first. Now it's too late.

Yu Shan's whole person was immersed in remorse and self-blame, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. He knew that no amount of regret would help, so he took a deep breath of cold air, abandoned his emotions, and rationally began to think about what to do now.

He looked through the gaps in the colored fiber plastic sheeting and saw that the grocery store behind the breakfast stall had opened its doors. The woman who sold him peony cigarettes was bending over and sweeping the door of the shop with a broom. His eyes moved, and he saw a newsstand not far away.

Well, there is a solution to the first problem that bothered him.

He walked towards the newsstand in front of the sun, slowed down as he passed, pretended to glance casually, and swept his gaze to the newspaper time of the Qibei Morning News: Wednesday, May 13, 1998.

Yu Shan bypassed the newsstand, crossed the street, and walked back. The woman who was cleaning the door of the grocery store had already entered the grocery store, and Yu Shan slowed down, thought about countermeasures, and entered the grocery store after making up his mind.

The woman glanced at him, "What do you want?" Do you still want peony smoke? ”

Yu Shan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the woman in the grocery store still remembered him, this was great. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, pretended to be sad and said, "What's that...... The last time I bought cigarettes here, did you see what I left here? ”

The woman frowned and said vigilantly, "Something? What is it? ”

"That's it...... It's just a folded slip. The accommodation invoice I issued on a business trip to another place involves the reimbursement of going back to the unit. It's useless for someone else to pick it up. ”

The woman was visibly relieved when she heard this: "Oh, the invoice...... I really didn't look at it, did you take it out at the time? ”

"Hey, I didn't pay attention either. If I pay attention, can I still lose it? Yu Shan gestured and said: "The invoice was in the wallet at the time, and I suspect that it was accidentally brought out when I took out the wallet." ”

The woman shook her head and said, "No, I haven't seen it." Did you end up here? ”

Yu Shan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not sure either. I couldn't find it when I went back to the unit that day, and I asked other places, but they all said they didn't look at it. ”

"Then think about it again, I really didn't see it."

"Hey, okay. If you can't find it, you have to admit that you're unlucky, today is the deadline for handing over the reimbursement form, where do you think I can find it? Yu Shan pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Do you remember when I came here to buy cigarettes?" ”

The woman said, "I think about it, it seems like it was last Friday." ”

Last Friday...... It's Wednesday, which means it's been five days since I last came to this world.

"Well, I'm sorry for you, then I'll look elsewhere."

Out of the grocery store, Yu Shan stood at the door and took out a cigarette and lit one. Taking a deep breath, Yu Shan squinted his eyes and began to think. Five days had passed, and Joss had told himself that Yesterday's Gate completely ignored the issue of the flow of time between the two worlds, let alone the proportion of the flow rate. No matter how you traverse, it will only take two minutes to come back.

Now Yu Shan began to think about another issue...... If Joss crossed first and walked through the door a minute later, how long would the time difference between himself and Joss be?

He didn't have an answer, because Joss had been keeping the secret a lot, and Yu Shan was the second person to know the secret. Naturally, even if Joss had similar thoughts, he didn't have a chance to verify this doubt.

So Yu Shan could only stand there thinking nonsense. For a moment, I thought that only one person could enter the door at a time, and the second person wanted to go in either waiting for the first person to come out, or went straight to the back street; For a moment I thought that maybe the time difference between the two would depend on how long the first person stayed here, and if the second person entered after a minute, it would be exactly half of the time that the first person was here; After a while, he overturned the previous conjecture, pondering that since the gate of yesterday had ignored the speed of time in the two worlds, the biggest possibility was that two people arrived at the same time.

"Big fruit~Hot and freshly fried big fruit, fragrant and crispy~"

The middle-aged man at the breakfast stall struggled to attract diners. The aroma of newly fried fritters wafted into Yu Shan's nose, causing Yu Shan's stomach to sing about the empty city plan.

Yu Shan looked at his watch, and the watch hand was already pointing to 12:17 p.m. Of course, he knew very well that the time on his watch meant nothing to the world on this side. He just made sure it was time for him to have lunch.

He took a step around the breakfast stall, intending to serve a bowl of tofu brain and a few fried dough sticks to deal with it first, but halfway through he vetoed the idea - because he couldn't afford to pay for breakfast with more than 1,000 yuan in his pocket.

As he smiled wryly, a red-painted Xiali taxi pulled up in front of the breakfast stand. The window was open, and the driver with a big waist tilted his head and shouted at the breakfast stall: "Take away a pound of big fruit." ”

"Okay!" The stall owner responded loudly.

The voice of the car radio floated out of the car: "...... This is the Qibei Jiaotong Guang Music Station, and I am the host Xiaoyue. The following is a road condition information, and the traffic jam at the intersection of Longhua Road and Jianshe Street has been lifted. Master Yang, who has a license plate ending in 0307, told this station on a walkie-talkie that the traffic police had towed away the vehicle that caused the accident. Let's review, twenty minutes ago, fifty meters before the intersection of Longhua Road and Jianshe Street, a vehicle collision occurred. A black Santana burst out, first crashing into a bluebird with a government license plate, then out of the fence, breaking two trees on the roadbed, tumbling and then re-landing on the road. After the accident, the traffic police quickly rushed to the scene, and the enthusiastic people dialed the 120 emergency number. Next, we will contact Master Yang through the walkie-talkie and ask him to tell us about the situation at the scene. Hello Master Yang? ”

"Hello host."

"Hello. What was the situation like, and could you please tell the audience on the radio? ”

"Good. Just now, the traffic police commanded the tow truck to tow the Santana away, and the traffic situation returned to normal. ”

"Then Master Yang, how is the condition of the injured?"

"There are only two people in the Blue Bird car, and the driver is fine, and he can still move; The passenger in the back seat was covered in blood. Both of them were taken away by ambulance just now, ah, they should have been sent to the Third Hospital. ”

"It's the Third People's Hospital, right?"

"Yes."

"And what about the occupants of the other car?"

"There is only one driver in that Santana, the car is deformed, and the traffic police are priing the door...... Huh? It's out. Oops, oh my god, the driver is dead! ”

"Master Yang, make it clear."

"Dead! The driver of Santana is dead, and his brain is broken! ”

"What was the deceased dressed like?"

"I think I'm in my thirties, wearing a gray jacket and jeans......"

Yu Shan, who had already crossed the street and was about to stretch out his hand to open the door of yesterday, suddenly paused when he heard this, and his heart chuckled. Gray jacket, jeans...... This is exactly what Joss was dressed yesterday!
