Chapter 3 Signs 1
On the straight and wide Xiangyang Avenue, a thin young man is pushing a bicycle to the direction of Luoxi Mountain, Luoxi Mountain, as the name suggests, is the mountain where the sunset falls, this young man is Li Li, who is returning home from work, and his home is in the Xicheng area of Quancheng.
On the way home, Li Li saw that there were suddenly a lot of military vehicles on Xiangyang Avenue, and there were many militiamen on duty on the side of the road.
Xiangyang Avenue belongs to the National Highway 318 line, and it is the only way to enter Tibet, and there are often military vehicles driving on the road, but the careful Li Li soon found that the military vehicle convoy is different from the previous one, all the license plates of the military vehicle convoy this time are covered by the army-green canvas, and the license plate number cannot be seen on the military green canvas cover, and the soldiers on the second military vehicle are obviously older, all of them are inches, and every soldier in the third compartment is actually fully armed, and the gun is in a state of combat readiness at any time.
Li Li stood on the side of the road holding a bicycle and silently watched the moving convoy, the sunset stretched Li Li's figure long, Li Li seemed to fall into deep thought, Quancheng is a transportation hub, there are often military vehicles passing by, but there are very few such convoys like today.
"Dig a swing, dig a swing ,,," I don't know how long it took, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang to pull Li Li back from his contemplation, Li Li took out the phone and saw that it was his mother calling, and hurriedly pressed the answer button.
"Xiaoli, why haven't you come back after work for so long?" Before he could speak, his mother's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, Li Li usually commutes to and from work on time, almost two o'clock and one line, and never goes outside to play.
"Mom, I'm on my way and I'll be back soon." Li Li's heart warmed, he knew that Quancheng had not been peaceful recently, and his mother was concerned about him.
"Slow down on the road, I made your favorite shredded green pepper meat today." On the other end of the phone, Li Li's mother Liu Qun's slightly soothing voice came, and Liu Qun was completely relieved when he heard that Li Li was fine.
"Okay, Mom." Li Li smiled slightly, collected his thoughts, got on his bicycle and quickly headed towards his home.
When I got home, after dinner, Li Li cleaned the dining table, took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to clean up, and washing the dishes became Li Li's patent, he usually got off work late, so he couldn't help the family cook, but every time he rushed to wash the dishes.
"Mom, how much food do you have at home?" Li Li, who was washing the dishes, suddenly turned his head to his mother, who was sweeping the floor, he was now thinking about the mysterious gray things all day long, and he instinctively felt that the crisis, an unusually unprecedented crisis was brewing.
"There are still seventy or eighty catties of rice, and there are more than a dozen bags of millet, which should be seven or eight hundred catties." Li Li's mother put down the trash can and looked at Li Li who was washing the dishes with a puzzled face, and was a little surprised that Li Li suddenly cared about the food situation at home.
"Oh." Li Li replied, and then concentrated on washing the dishes, all his thoughts were now in contemplation, and he faintly felt that something big was about to happen.
Li Li's mother saw that Li Li did not react, so she continued to sweep the floor.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Li Li came to the living room and asked when he saw his father sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette; "Dad, do you have a steel drill for your work in the house now?"
Li Li's father, Li Zhiguo, was a construction worker and often kept some construction tools at home.
"There's one in the locker, what are you doing with it?" Li Zhiguo pointed to the storage room with a finger holding the cigarette butt, and looked at Li Li with a puzzled face.
"Dad, I've had something to do lately, so I'll use it for a few days." Li Li ran towards the storage room without looking back.
Li Zhiguo was stunned, looked at Li Li's back and shook his head with a smile and continued to watch TV, he was twelve points at ease for Li Li's son, he was a more obedient child since he was a child, he never caused trouble outside, and his temper was also very good.
After Li Li got the steel drill, he then went back to his bedroom and turned on the computer to enter the web page, and the overwhelming news caught Li Li's eyes, all what kind of protests, demonstrations, we have the right to know the truth of the news, for these news that appeared a year ago Li Li has been numb, lost interest, he quickly entered the online shopping platform, and then purposefully looked for the items he needed.
About an hour later, Li Li's shopping cart suddenly appeared several uncommon goods, a bow and crossbow, two military field daggers, a set of field uniforms, binoculars, a multi-functional first-aid kit, a few boxes of 90 compressed biscuits, a pair of field boots and many other emergency biological products, all of which required the online store owner to expedite delivery, Li Li looked at the shopping cart for a total of more than 6,000 yuan, but still did not hesitate at all and clicked the checkout button, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, I had to admit the strength of online shopping, There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy.
Half an hour later, Li Li appeared on the roof of the building, took the steel drill and kept rubbing back and forth on a large whetstone to rub the sharper end, Li Li was sweating profusely, but there was no intention of stopping, so he didn't know the tiredness of grinding back and forth, until the steel drill was more pointed, at this time it was said that the steel drill was actually more like a spear, Li Li stopped grinding, and then on the other end of the steel drill continued to wrap a circle of gauze, after getting all this, Li Li waved back and forth a few times, Then satisfied, he quietly took the more spear-like steel drill back to his bedroom.
After finishing all this, Li Li saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, thinking that he would still go to work tomorrow, and was going to take a shower first and then sleep well.
The shower in the bathroom kept spraying comfortable warm water from Li Li's head, Li Li closed his eyes and enjoyed it quietly, his slightly squinted eyes suddenly noticed that there was a soft five-color circle on his chest, and the aperture came to the silver-white ring pendant on Li Li's chest, Li Li was no stranger to this strange phenomenon.
Li Li immediately wiped his whole body and came to the mirror, took off the silver-white ring pendant that he had been wearing around his neck and was in a daze, at this time the halo of the pendant slowly faded, this pendant was given to him by his uncle on Li Li's tenth birthday, Li Li's uncle is a person who has seen the world, once worked as an engineer in the South China Sea as a combustible ice mining engineer, Li Li liked to listen to his uncle tell him the story of working on the bottom of the sea when he was a child, it is said that this silver-white ring pendant was accidentally obtained by his uncle working on the bottom of the sea.
Li Li had always thought that the material of this pendant might be silver, but with the continuous growth of Li Li's knowledge, when he went to college for engineering, Li Li found that its material was not silver, nor aluminum, and even Li Li couldn't figure out what material this pendant was made of.
But since a few years ago, he accidentally found that this pendant actually emitted a weak shimmer, at first Li Li thought it was his own eyes, but as time went by, the number of glows became more and more, and the time of glowing became longer and longer, and after riding a bicycle together and being injured, Li Li found that this aperture actually had the magical effect of accelerating the recovery of wounds, and even sometimes when the pendant was glowing, under the illumination of strong light, a closer look would find that there was actually something like liquid in the ring pendant slowly circulating in the ring pendant.
Li Li once thought about taking it to the laboratory for identification, but as a low-level member of society, Li Li understood the truth that the husband was innocent and guilty.
This world is becoming more and more abnormal, and his pendant is shining more and more frequently, so Li Li has a bold conjecture, and now there must be some connection between the strangeness of the world and the abnormality of the pendant, and more and more strange things are happening, although the government has not admitted many unreasonable phenomena, but today's military vehicle convoy on Xiangyang Avenue must be hiding something he doesn't know, so Li Li also began to feel that there must be something big to happen, and he doesn't know if his preparation is useful. But he still feels that he should do something, and it is better to make a difference than to do nothing to meet the unknown coming.
After Li Li cleaned up his thoughts, he wiped the water droplets on his body, put on his pajamas, came to his bedroom, lay on the bed, quietly closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
