I don't know how long it was, how far he had walked, but he seemed to be trapped, confused, and still walking aimlessly. It was getting dark, and a cool breeze was blowing across his cheeks.

The cool silk consciousness wakes up the chaotic mind, the blurred vision, and cuts off the footsteps of blind progress. also let him gradually come back to his senses and face up to the present: the sky is silent, and the black dragon is overwhelming; It was silent and silent, and the black mass was difficult to peel off; Looking up, it was pitch black, and there was silence all around. Now it is different than before, there are only a few buildings, there is no lighting, and there is no operation. There were few pedestrians on the street, just a few passers-by, lifeless and quiet, and the marginal areas were deserted.

All this made Li Ruoqing understand, and he inevitably became even more displeased, and asked secretly: "It's really bent on going your own way, not asking or asking, all the way to the dark; Now they are all on the edge, out of the mainstream area, and there is no way to go. Maybe it's the wrong direction, but the reason for this situation is that the direction is not right, otherwise how could you get here, there is no way to get empty, and it won't work if you don't change the direction. ”

Seeing the darkness of the night coming, he weighed it himself: "I have to change the direction, I don't know how far I have gone, I can't get through here, the night is coming, the sky is getting darker and darker, I have to think about how to go back, while thinking about that direction, where to go." Otherwise, I don't know if I can think of it, and I may not be able to go back. ”

Soon, Li Ruoqing rushed back along the original road, pondering other places. I don't know if he can think of somewhere, in which direction? Where to look tomorrow?

On the way back, although I was thinking about tomorrow's things, I was planning tomorrow's arrangement: where should I go to find it? In which direction? That's the priority. Whether it is some actions that I have paid for, or I am forced by the form, but I haven't come up with a reason for it after all.

This inevitably made him disheartened, and he had no choice but to feel to himself: this is really a ridiculous act in a hurry. "I always thought that maybe I shouldn't have done this. All kinds of experiences show that it really shouldn't be like this, it's not possible at all, and the fact is that it shouldn't be this way in the first place. Can't move forward, can't retreat, it's really helpless to let the flowers fall, but there is no willow and flower bright village. ”

After thinking about it on the way, I didn't find the answer, but it added a lot of trouble. It's really physically and mentally exhausted, and there is a kind of stuffiness that overwhelms the physical exertion.

Soon he fell asleep, and of course he didn't sleep soundly. I don't know if I was in a hurry to sleep, or I was in a daze, and I didn't turn off the lights when I slept.

It was a lone lamp, in the shape of a flat one, hanging from the roof, with a rainbow glow at the bottom and around it; It happened that Li Ruoqing was asleep on his back, and the light shone on him. Li Ruoqing seemed to be asleep, as if she was awake but not awake, dreaming back and forth, and in a daze, she saw that the bright light on the roof shone down, and stopped there in a circle, like a small flying saucer. Can't tell whether reality is a dream or a dream, I don't know if it seems to be a dream or not, Li Ruoqing felt dreaming in a daze, and clearly remembered that it was a lamp, how did it become a flying saucer. Maybe I wanted to see a flying saucer too much, but this lamp was like a flying saucer.

Intermittent, dreaming when waking up and dreaming when sleeping. The night passed in such a trance, but it passed in a hurry. When I woke up, I fell asleep without turning off the light, which was funny, it was obviously a lamp, and I dreamed that it was a small flying saucer. It's strange to say, I can't tell if it's a dream or an imagination.

He couldn't figure it out, but he was disappointed again, and he was confused all night, and he still didn't know anything in front of him, even if he was dreaming, there was no indication or anything, or a reminder. Where exactly are you going? In which direction? He muttered to himself: "When it is true, you can't dream about it, and when it's false, if you have a dream, it's not true; It's a real dream, so why not find out for yourself. That's all there is to it. ”

When Li Ruoqing thought of this, even he felt exaggerated, and he actually laughed out loud. What to laugh at? How did he know, maybe he just figured it out, maybe he still thought he was thinking nonsense again.

At this time, the old lady of the landlady passed by in front of his house, and happened to hear his laughter, and could not help but feel strange. First, she knew that he was alone in the house, and second, he seemed to be quiet, and nothing new could happen, right? Besides, she knew that Li Wenxing came back late last night, could something happen? Even if you encounter something, you can't laugh early in the morning.

Just thinking about it, Li Ruoqing pushed the door and walked out and saw the old lady in front of the door. Li Ruoqing wanted to smile and greet Yingying to ask early, so the old lady asked: "Xiao Li, I came back very late last night, did you encounter something, or did you have any difficulties?" ”

When Li Ruoqing heard such a question, she immediately felt very warm, but she also helplessly spread her hands and said: "I didn't encounter anything, but I went out for a day in vain, from morning to night, going around and around, tossing all day, and there was no progress." I don't know if it's because of bad luck or if it's not suitable at all. It's not suitable to come out, it's not suitable to come here, or even to do something. ”

After saying that, he added: "Sometimes it really feels like a joke!" ”

The old lady answered, "Could it be that you were laughing at yourself just now?" ”

"I'm also strange, just now I thought about it and laughed out loud, it really looked like I was laughing at myself."

The old lady looked at Li Ruoqing's innocent appearance, and said with some sympathy: "It's okay, think more about what the problem is; Sometimes when you think through the problem and think it through, things will be solved naturally. Some things seem difficult to do, but they won't be difficult when you break them down. ”

Li Ruoqing replied: "Grandma is right, maybe some things are not thoughtful enough, they don't think about it properly, and they are in a hurry to deal with it, and the result is very unsuccessful." Coming and going made a mess. ”

The old lady asked Li Ruoqing in detail what she had seen and heard yesterday, and learned that he went to those places, which would make him so helpless.

Li Ruoqing also stated yesterday's experience in detail. Seeing that the old lady asked in detail, he also explained yesterday's people and things very sincerely, and the most practical thing was to say what he thought at that time.

Although it is not to win more sympathy, but also to be able to discuss it with her, it can be regarded as an invisible understanding.

The old lady looked at Li Ruoqing's very sincere eyes, and when she learned about his experience, she also felt the same way. She blinked and said earnestly: "As the saying goes: 'Everything is difficult at the beginning'; Ask more attentively, find with your heart, and your ears and eyes will shine, maybe things will be easier. You should look elsewhere a little more. ”

Li Ruoqing said: "What grandma said is reasonable. I also know: 'It's hard to get started.'" I also looked at it very carefully, and I also looked for it with my heart, thinking that as long as I was attentive and found something to do, it should not be difficult. But in the end, it backfired, and it didn't fail. ”

With a sigh, he said again: "I don't know if it's because of my lack of confidence, lack of intentions, or lack of luck, and I have nothing to do with this!" ”
