Before this, I would never observe it like this, it was a pair of hands with slightly dark skin but slender fingers, with thin calluses between the palms, which should have been done in a light and heavy way. The uppermost joint of the middle finger was slightly raised and calloused, and I almost blurted out to ask him if he could draw, as this knuckle formation is usually caused by holding too much of a pen.

After paying, I walked out of the equipment store without much pause, and waited until I reached the side of the road to look back. It's not uncommon for a boss who runs a drawing equipment to be able to draw, and I can't just guess based on that. What's more, if there is a problem, if I ask it, it will mean that I will be startled, so it is better to calm down and wait and see.

On the way back, I went to the supermarket near my apartment to buy some ingredients and daily necessities, and by the time I got home, it was already dark. The door was pitch black, put down the things and went into the room to take a look at the mobile phone, and the one who stayed at home to charge before did not take it out.

On my mobile phone, there was a call from Zhu Ke and a group text message from my classmates, and I read the text message first, which was to inform everyone to gather in the scientific research building at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I had learned the news from my supervisor. I dialed Zhu Ke over, rang a few times before I picked it up, but it was a man's accent, and after hesitating for two seconds, I asked, "Is Zhu Ke?" ”

"Oh, you wait, Xiao Ke, you call!"

After a while, the other end of the phone was picked up again, and then Zhu Ke's voice came: "Wish? ”

"Uh-huh, you called me before?"

"I said, why didn't you even answer the phone when you went back to your hometown? I called you before, I have been calling you for the past few days, but you haven't answered, so I think something happened to you. ”

I smiled and said, "No, after I went back, I went to the mountains to collect wind, the signal was not good, and then even the power was gone, so I simply turned it off, anyway, I want to take a vacation and there is nothing particularly important." ”

"The important thing is no, I just want to call you out for a meal."

"Okay, you've set a time and address to send me a message."

After hanging up the phone, he got up and went to the living room, put the ingredients in the refrigerator and made two simple dishes, but at this time, Gu Xi still didn't come out, and he hesitated to cross the veil. The layout of his side is two bedrooms and one living room, I knocked on the door of the master bedroom and there was no response, the revolving door opened the door but found that there was no one inside, and I pushed the door of the guest room, which was also empty, so I realized that he went out without saying hello, and it was probably before I would go out.

I thought about dialing his number, but I swiped my finger across the keyboard screen and forgot it. When I went back to my side to eat, I was still disappointed at the service station because the restaurant was closed and the chef was not cooking, and now I came back and made two dishes that I liked to eat, chewing them in my mouth but still feeling that the food did not taste good. I couldn't help sighing, it turned out that the mood of eating was related to the people around me.

Or took out his phone and sent a text message out: Where are you?

I took a photo of the dishes on the table and passed it over, and it was replied in less than half a minute: the quality was too poor and I had no appetite.

I couldn't help laughing, and pressed my phone to call while eating: It's not for you to eat, it's just for you to see.

Gu Xihui: Goodbye then.

Me: What are you doing? Why didn't you say anything and ran away?

Gu Xi: There is entertainment.

Shrugging his shoulders, he put down his phone and was about to add some food, and the appetite came. When I returned to the table after finishing the meal, I just saw the text message flashing on the mobile phone screen, and there were already two before this: just for a while, do you miss me? Why don't you speak? What about people?

Three in a row, one shorter than the other, also fully expressed the fact that a man's patience is really limited, and I was only away for a minute in total. I was about to reply, but I was redirected by a call halfway through the word, and his name jumped on the screen.

When I picked it up, he lazily "heyed", and he asked, "Why don't you reply?" ”

"I didn't see it eating."

"Now look." It was a commanding tone, and I wanted to laugh when I heard it, but I couldn't help but say after a few seconds, "Look." ”

Or the tone of command: "Answer me!" ”

I deliberately pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What answer to you?" ”

There was a second of silence, repeating the question just now: "Did you miss me?" ”

"Huh? What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, the signal was not good. Holding back a smile, he moved his phone away a little, and heard the voice on the other end that couldn't be calmer come slowly: "Chang Xiaoyuan, you wait for me." Then there was a click, and the phone was hung up.

I was completely amused by this person, so I was in a good mood and not only solved the two plates of dishes, but also ate a bowl of rice. Satisfied, he touched his belly and sighed that the people take food as the sky, and this food really needs to have the right appetite and the right mood.

After dinner, I sat on the couch and watched TV and waited for someone.

When I returned to the apartment, my nerves relaxed, my body was tired, and my mood was happy, and I soon got stuck in the noise of the TV. It seemed that he heard the sound of a text message coming from his ear, but his eyelids were too heavy, and he finally fell asleep.

Yes, Dreamland.

I was back in Bryntown, walking alone down the empty streets, surrounded by strange shops, not at all the ones I had ever seen. As I walked, I panicked for no reason, because I suddenly found that the town was different except for the way in, everything else was different, including the buildings, they were not even the old houses of ten years ago, but more like ...... Antique architecture.

With every step, I could hear the sound of my shoe roots tapping on the ground, and when I lowered my head, there was no concrete paving, only the old green brick floor. But just then, I heard a sudden jingle bell, it was...... Bicycle ringtones? Following the sound, I was shocked to see a figure riding an old liberation bicycle, and as the figure vaguely passed past me, I was shaken to the ground.

Is that...... The young postman you've ever dreamed of? I almost forgot about it. I didn't think about it, I chased after him, he was riding a bicycle and the speed was not slow, but I could keep up with it just by walking, but I kept a certain distance, whether I was speeding up or slowing down, I couldn't cross it.

There are empty antique buildings around, and the two people in front and back are very incongruous in this space, which feels very weird. And even more bizarrely, I saw the figure stop and look up, and in front of him was the towering wall and the heavy stone gate.

The first glance at the ancient walls and stone gates struck me as familiar, and in the blink of an eye, I realized that they resembled an underground walled city.

No, it's not quite like it, it's fundamental.

The texture on the stone gate, the arrangement of the bricks and stones of the city wall, are all as in memory. The only difference is that one is hidden in darkness and the other is exposed in broad daylight.

I looked around again, these houses, green bricks, sorghum, I am not Guxi, I can't tell what era of architectural style, but I was shocked by a thought in my heart. Isn't that what it is...... That besieged city under Bryn, right?

I subconsciously wanted to go to the house and touch it, but when my fingertips touched it, I found that I couldn't touch the entity, and even my fingers could shuttle through it. Are these houses all illusory? Or is it because I'm in a dream, so I can't touch anything?

I turned my gaze back to the walls and stone gates, trying to see if I couldn't even touch them. But as soon as he took a step, his whole body froze suddenly, and he was so engrossed in thinking that he forgot about the young postman, where was he still in front of the city wall at this time? After being stunned, he immediately ran over, looked left and right, and didn't see a figure.

Suddenly, there was an alley between the city wall and the house at the very end, and the ground at the mouth of the alley not far away was exposed like the handle of a bicycle. I walked in, and the closer I looked, the more certain I knew that the black holster was one of the handlebars of the bike. When I got to the alley, I saw the old Jiefang bicycle lying on the ground, and the two tires were still spinning in the air.

After hesitating, he crouched down to take a closer look. But the back of the spine was cold, and the moment I squatted down, I saw a shadow overlapping me, and my head was slowly lowered to look back......

A few feet away, stood on a pair of feet.

Suddenly he woke up from his dream, his eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and his heart contracted, wheezing sharply. When his breathing finally calmed down, he touched his forehead, and his hands were covered with cold sweat, including his back.

This...... Not a nightmare. In the end, I woke up not in fear of noticing someone behind me in my dream, but rather the feet, or to be more precise, the shoes.

It was a pair of shoes that I've seen many times, military boots.

When I looked around, I knew that I was still nestled in the couch, sticky from a cold sweat, but I didn't want to move. My mind was very chaotic, and I closed my eyes again, and a scene gradually became clear.

The alley between the city walls and the old house, the abandoned bicycle still rolling its tires, my shadow covering me from overhead, and a pair of ...... a few feet behind me Wear the feet of familiar military boots.

Reason was telling me that it was just a dream, but I couldn't control my thoughts, wondering why in the end, I saw Gu Xi's feet standing behind me in the dream? Base...... It's unreasonable.

In fact, I used to be a person who rarely dreamed, and I could even say that I didn't dream. It is from... After receiving the letter from the seventh pen pal, it was initially a pair of black eyes staring at me, and the image full of fragments was repeated, which I called a nightmare; Later, when I came to the town of Brin, I dreamed of the post office, and I dreamed that it could not be a young postman with an old thanks, which can also explain that I was thinking about it day and night; In the siege of the city, I dreamed that the pen pals sitting at the table in the house were also closely related to the current environment.

But when I returned to my home in Pingcheng tonight, I had such a dream.
