Chapter 41: An Unexpected Man Returns
I asked Zhang Hui, "Did you find anything during the night?" β
Zhang Hui said: "In the second half of the night, the lake seemed to be sick again, and for more than ten minutes, the sand and rocks were flying. β
I said, "Do you hear someone talking?" β
Zhang Hui said: "What do you say? β
I said, "That mantra β now start moving freely." β
Zhang Hui said: "At that time, I hid in the car. β
I thought for a moment and said, "I suspect those three high school students are getting close to that lake again." β
Zhang Hui said: "What are they always doing near that lake? β
I said, "I haven't figured it out. It's as if they're going to go to the lake to accomplish something, and that lake doesn't allow it. β
Zhang Hui said: "Kill them directly, so as not to disappear in a blink of an eye like that child, and we will regret it too late at that time." β
I said, "We don't know anything about them, we don't even know if they're good or malicious, it's too reckless." β
Zhang Hui stopped talking.
After dawn, everyone was washing, and the three high school students came out of the tent again.
After they came up to us, I looked at Yu Xun's clothes and said, "Yu Gou Gou almost died the night before yesterday, right?" β
Yu Xunxun said, "Yes. β
I said, "You don't want to control him, do you?" β
Yu Xunxun said, "Yes. β
I said, "I have a question. β
Yu Xunxuan said: "Uncle, you say." β
I said, "Why do you want to go to the lake when you know it's dangerous?" β
Yu Xunxuan said, "I didn't go." β
I reached out and touched his clothes, which were damp, and I said, "No doubt you were dragged down by that lake too." β
Yu Xunxuan said: "No! I was sweating profusely in the middle of the night and soaked my sleeping bag! β
Zhang Hui rushed over and grabbed Yu Xun's collar and said, "Little rabbit cub, if you sweat so much, you would have been dehydrated and seen the king of Hades a long time ago!" I'm a police officer, I didn't want to force a confession, but if you play us again, I'm really welcome! I'm going to break your fingers one by one - if I'm not mistaken, you've got 30 in total, right? β
Yu Xunxi looked at me pitifully and shouted, "Uncle help! β
At this time, Meng Xiaoshuai suddenly shouted: "Look who that is!" β
I followed her finger and frozeβa woman was coming towards us from the north! She's wearing a red T-shirt and jeans, isn't that rice bean?
It could be seen that she was extremely tired, and she staggered from side to side on the desert.
How did she come back!
Where did that spoon go?
Zhang Hui let go of Yu Xun, squinted his eyes and looked at Midou: "You sing and I will appear, who is this?" β
I said, "The car you drove back is hers, her name is Midou, and there is a man named Spoon......
Zhang Hui said: "That is, she is her own person? β
I looked at Midou's figure and whispered for a long time: "Now, anyone is suspicious if they appear." Keep an eye out. β
Zhang Hui nodded.
I added: "Danger is also opportunity." With that, I walked towards Midou.
Zhang Hui followed with a nail gun.
I walked up to Midou and found that her face was extremely ugly and her lips were chapped. I grabbed her and asked, "Why did you come back?" β
"It's a long story......," she said.
I said, "Well, let's go back to the tent first." β
I walked into the camp with Mi Dou in tow, only Pulp knew her, and everyone else had a look like a duck listening to thunder.
When I entered the tent, she brought her a bottle of mineral water, and she only took a sip, then put it aside, and asked me in confusion, "Why are so many people here?" β
I pointed to Zhang Hui, Meng Xiaoshuai, and Bai Xinxin, and introduced Midou, and then said: "They were all together with us, and they didn't go out, but returned to this lake one after another." β
Then, I pointed to Yu Xunxun and Yu Gougou: "They are twins, and the one next to them is their cousin." Their experience is even more vivid, they were supposed to go to Urumqi to visit relatives, but the helicopter crashed halfway, and they parachuted......"
Midou said, "Oh......"
I said, "How many days have you been gone?" β
Midou said, "Two days." β
I said, "How did you find this lake?" β
Midou said tiredly: "I saw your lights last night, and I only came here today......"
I said, "Zhang Hui and Bai Xinxin have picked up your car and have already driven back." Why did you throw the car away? β
Midou immediately felt a little sad, she said: "After we left, we kept driving forward, and I don't know why a child suddenly appeared in front of us......"
Child!
Midou continued: "He appeared so suddenly, the spoon didn't have time to brake, and it knocked him under the car in one fell swoop. And then...... He didn't stop and drove forward with the throttle up. About half an hour later, I noticed that a child's mouth appeared in the crack of the air conditioner, red, blowing outward, very cold......"
At that time, when the humanoid who claimed to be Zheng Taiyuan pretended to be a member of the scientific expedition team, he also told a similar experience.
I said, "And then?" β
Midou said, "Then I passed out." When I woke up, I found that I was back in Puyang! Actually, I'm not sure if I'm awake, it's more like a dream. β
I said, "Do you see the spoon?" β
Midou said, "He's right next to me!" β
I said, "Where were you in Puyang at that time?" β
Midou said: "The entrance of the highway is where we meet when we set off. It's weird. β
I said, "What's next?" β
"As we walked back to the city, we felt more and more that something was wrong......
I said, "What's wrong?" β
Midou said: "We feel that everything is different, as if we have been away for 100 years......"
I looked at Meng Xiaoshuai, Meng Xiaoshuai knew what I was thinking, nodded, and continued to look at Midou.
Midou said: "Later, we finally determined that we really went 100 years later!" My neighborhood no longer exists, it has become a sound and light garden! The buildings and streets around it have changed ......."
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "What will the world look like in 100 years? β
Midou thought for a moment and said, "Ash." β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Ash? What do you mean? β
Midou said, "If there is one word that says it, it is - ash." It's always been gloomy weather, and it seems to be the norm. The whole city is full of all kinds of metal gray, dark gray, light gray, and the expression of people is also gray. β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "The future world should be very bright, is there no bright color?" β
Midou said: "All the bright colors are virtual. β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "What was the computer like at that time? β
Midou said: "The program hangs in mid-air, you can touch it with your hands, just like in the movie." β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Can the car fly? β
"There are only pedestrians on the ground, and all the vehicles are driving in mid-air. It was a scary scene. β
I said, "Tell me how you and Spoon survived." β
Midou said: "We didn't have any money with us, and we couldn't spend it if we did, and the money was different." Later, we found a shelter, where we both pretended to be deaf and dumb, and stayed there. The conditions of the aid station are very good, like a sanatorium, everything is free. β
I said, "Why did you come back alone?" β
Midou said: "That day, I was walking around the street alone, walked to the door of a shopping mall, I saw a person, she and I are very similar, I walked over, wanted to say hello to her, unexpectedly, our four eyes just met together, I was like an electric shock, I fainted, it felt like falling into a huge whirlpool, kept turning, turning, turning...... I don't know how long it took, but I woke up and found that I was lying on Lop Nur, and that was where I had passed out. β
I said, "How do you know that's where you passed out?" β
Midou said, "Look at the ruts." β
I said, "That is, the spoon was left alone after 100 years?" β
Midou said a little sadly: "I don't know what happened to him." β
I said, "Anyway, it's good that you're back." You can rest first, and we'll talk when we wake up. β
Midou said, "Okay. β
At noon, Lop Nur was like a cauldron, and firewood began to be added underneath.
The three high school students returned to their tents, Mi Dou slept alone in my tent, and I didn't sleep with Berry Juice, Zhang Hui, Meng Xiaoshuai, and Bai Xinxin, we sat in the tent in the middle and talked.
Juice said, "I have a feeling ......"
I looked at her and waited for her to continue.
Pulp said: "This rice bean suddenly came back, it seems a little strange. β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "If we can go 100 years ago, she can go 100 years later, nothing strange." β
"It has nothing to do with that." β
Then, she looked at me and said, "Boss Zhou, just the two of us have seen her, think about it carefully, is she a little different from the past?" β
I closed my eyes and thought about it for a long time before I said, "She changed her clothes." β
"I told me what she looked like. β
I shook my head and said, "I haven't looked at her carefully in the past. Do you feel like her looks have changed? β
Pulp didn't speak.
I said, "I'm prompting you, your eyes are small?" β¦β¦ Nose high? β¦β¦ Big mouth? β¦β¦β
"I really can't tell where she has changed, but I dare to conclude that there is at least a 2% difference between that rice bean in the past and this rice bean now, and this 2% difference melts into all aspects of her, such as her appearance, expression, and intonation...... Wait, it's hard to tell! β
I said, "You're completely paranoid. β
That night, Bai Xinxin stood guard.
I slept in a tent with Midou.
Pulp didn't trust her, Zhang Hui and Meng Xiaoshuai were not familiar with her.
After lying down, I said, "Midou, I have to tell you that we burned your money." β
Mi Dou was not surprised, she actually said lightly: "What are you burning them for?" Waste lighters. β
After a pause, she said, "Don't you think those three high school students are suspicious?" β
I said, "It's not suspicious, it's very suspicious." β
Midou said, "Then why do you still take them in?" β
I said, "I'm waiting for them to show their true colors." β
Bai Xinxin shouted outside: "Hey! What people! β
