Chapter 64: White Snow
As soon as Yuan Xi closed her eyes, she could see countless pairs of eyes.
In the sky, thousands of meters in the sky, in the vast earth and deep ocean on the ground, in the infinitely deep abyssal lava underground, above the burning fire of the black sun, under the clear moonlight of the blood-colored moon, there are deep black eyes everywhere, they are always looking at themselves, as if they are waiting for something, as if they are afraid of something......
Yuan Xi sat in the last row of a deserted bus by the right window seat, the bus was driving in the empty city, the sky was flowing with black and red bands of light, dust and dusty snowflakes fluttered between the buildings of the city, Yuan Xi looked at the city through the window, the windows in the buildings of the city opened one after another with the arrival of her bus, the black shadows in the window with black eyes quietly watched her, where the bus passed, those buildings disappeared in turn, In front of the bus is a dilapidated and barren city like a post-apocalyptic city, and behind the bus is a vast black desert, and the wind-blown sand dunes look like some kind of wriggling beast.
Finally, the bus drove to the end of Linyang City, the original highway leading to the outside world in Linyang City has been broken with the earth, and the edge of the city is a wide chasm that extends to the horizon, and under the chasm is a gray desert dark ocean......
The bus sped off the cliff and plummeted into the depths of the ocean, plunging into the rough waters of the ocean in an instant......
Yuan Xi opened her eyes and found that she was wearing a wide men's gray pajamas, lying on the wide Simmons bed in a large shape, covered with a quilt that was probably knocked over by most of her when she slept last night, and the hour hand was walking to half past six on the alarm clock at the head of the bed that belonged to Jiang Yi.
Since she became Yuan Xi, basically every time she fell asleep, she would have all kinds of bizarre dreams, and the "dream" of the Spirit Hospital was probably the most real and terrifying, for this dream, she was not interested in thinking about what it meant, because it was not strange to see more.
"Ah sneeze ......" Yuan Xi sneezed, a string of crystal snot dripped from her small and round nostrils, she fumbled on the bedside table and grabbed a piece of toilet paper, wiped the snot clean, it seems that this body is not stable to sleep at night, and Jiang Yi ran over in the middle of the night to cover her with a quilt like a father who took care of his daughter last night......
Yuan Xi slept on Jiang Yi's bed last night, and Jiang Yi slept on the sofa with righteousness, originally Yuan Xi didn't want to trouble Jiang Yi like this, and insisted on sleeping on the sofa, but Jiang Yi forcibly insisted that she must sleep on the bed on the grounds that she had just recovered from a serious illness, and also found her a set of pajamas that Jiang Yi used to buy for herself but were too small.
Yuan Xi got out of bed, walked to the window first, opened the curtains, and just saw the red morning light shining on the city in the distance, the heavy snow last night had stopped, and now the sky and the earth are white, and the sun is flowing on the snow all over the city, and a few children in winter clothes outside the window have gotten up early, and are having a snowball fight carefree.
walked into Jiang Yi's toilet, took out the water cup and towel that Jiang Yi found for himself last night, brushed his teeth and washed his face, saw the pale and delicate distressing little face in the mirror, and squeezed out a bright smile, and then the smile on that little face turned into helplessness and sorrow:
"Are you going to see this face every morning from now on?"
Yuan Xi gently touched her face in the mirror, and the picturesque girl in the mirror also stretched out her hand as if to touch her.
"Good morning, Yuan Xi." Yuan Xi muttered.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the corner of the girl's mouth in the mirror flashed a smile that seemed to be mischievous and like a joke.
"Good morning, Yuan Xi." In Yuan Xi's ears, a soft voice floated past as if he was hallucinating......
Yuan Xi changed her clothes, it was still the same clothes as yesterday, she was not a person who liked to change clothes, when she was still Yuan Xi, if it was not dirty, it was normal for her to wear a set of clothes for three or four days in winter, when Yuan Xi was about to push open Jiang Yi's door, he took out a slender hairband from Jiang Yi's bedroom cabinet, remembering that Jiang Yi had studied artists a few years ago and had long black hair, at that time Yuan Xi laughed at him for being too sissy, Jiang Yi could only shave his long hair, this was probably Jiang Yi's hair tied at that time......
Yuan Xi looked at the mirror unfamiliarly, wiped the hair on his head that often jumped up and fell down restlessly to block his vision, and tied the hairband in a knot in an orderly manner, which can be regarded as a more spiritual ponytail formed, this is not how high Yuan Xi's hair care skills are, but that Yuan Xi's hair quality is too good and easy to take care of now.
As soon as Yuan Xi walked out of the bedroom, he smelled the fragrance of food, followed the fragrance to the kitchen, and saw Jiang Yi in an apron frying eggs and bacon, a few pieces of bread jumped out of the bread machine, Jiang Yi skillfully sandwiched the bacon and eggs between the bread, squeezed some tomato sauce and salad dressing, added some lettuce, and the standard sandwich was baked, he lifted the lid again, scooped two bowls of fragrant oatmeal porridge from the steamer, and took the oatmeal porridge and sandwich in his hand to turn around and put them on the dining table. Only then did he see Yuan Xi standing at the door of the kitchen blinking and looking at him curiously with big eyes.
"When did you put the housekeeping skill tree on the ground?" Yuan Xi felt a little impressed by Jiang Yi, a sloppy and unruly friend in his impression, when he was in college before, Jiang Yi would either sleep groggily until eleven o'clock in the morning and go directly to the cafeteria for lunch, or just make a bowl of noodles in the morning to pass the time, how could that young man with a depressed head and a depressed look be the same person as the current focused househusband?
"If you still treat life like you did in college, what is the difference between living and salted fish?" Jiang Yi methodically brought the food and tableware to the table and set them up.
"Besides, today is the first time that a girl has come to my house for dinner, so naturally I have to prepare a hearty breakfast." Jiang Yi looked at Yuan Xi, who was grabbing a sandwich and munching on it, and his face looked chubby because of the food, and he really felt like he had become a full-time father in an instant.
"It tastes really good!" Yuan Xi was still chewing in her mouth, and she was slurring her words, except for the class reunion last night, she hadn't eaten a normal meal since she transformed, and now she ate Jiang Yi's carefully prepared breakfast, so she naturally devoured it, and ate a large piece of sandwich with eggs and bacon in a few clicks, and drank not a drop of oatmeal porridge.
"It's February 1st, and it's Monday, did you think about it last night? Do you want to go straight to school today? Since you have completed all the certificates, if you still don't go to school, I'm afraid the school will send a teacher to ask you, right? You are still under the age of nine years of compulsory education, living in the city, and it is not legal for minors not to go to school. Jiang Yi didn't want Yuan Xi to continue to live aimlessly and idlely, he thought that the most important thing for Yuan Xi now was to let her find some motivation to continue to survive, otherwise she might really have to go the wrong way.
"My address is filled in where the imposter lives, if you want to find him, you have to find him first, as for going to school, let's give me a little more time to make some mental preparations." Yuan Xi shook his head: "Maybe next week, I will agree to go to school, and now I am still a little uncomfortable for me, who was an office worker a few days ago, to suddenly jump to high school today, not to mention that I encountered a series of strange things not long ago." ”
After breakfast, Jiang Yi had to drive to the hospital to work, so he had to leave some money and the key to his house for Yuan Xi to let her go to a nearby restaurant to eat at noon, Yuan Xi's wallet was given to Yuan Xi by Jiang Yi, and she was not embarrassed to receive such a small amount of money.
Before leaving, Jiang Yi repeatedly warned Yuan Xi to pay attention to safety and keep warm when he went out, Yuan Xi really felt that Jiang Yi might have regarded himself as a father or brother, and seeing that he was kind, he had to resign himself to coming down.
After Jiang Yi went out, Yuan Xi first played bored on Jiang Yi's computer, but after playing for less than an hour, he felt bored, and when he saw the silver outside the window, he became interested in going out to play again, so he found a peaked cap from Jiang Yi's wardrobe and put it on his head to cover most of his face, and put on a women's warm gray coat that Liao Qingyin bought for her, and when she left, she thought about it, and brought the eternal night camera again, she planned to find some suspicious places in Linyang City to take a photo and test the function of the eternal night camera. Last night at Jiang Yi's house, she also tried to take pictures with the Eternal Night camera, but Jiang Yi's home was very normal and nothing was taken.
Yuan Xi went out aimlessly.
She went out of Jiang Yi's unit building, and simply wandered directly in the exquisitely laid out small gardens of Wanshou Home, on both sides of the smooth marble road, most of the flowers withered, dripping with snow, and sometimes a snow block would fall from the top of her head, and when she looked up, it was the branches that could not bear the weight of the snow, so that the snow fell, and the pale lawn was dyed into a pale lawn and there were funny snowmen that had just been piled up by those children when they were playing here, and the snowman had two stones stuffed on his head as eyes, and a few branches were inserted as noses and arms, The smile on his face was distorted by the melting snow.
There are few pedestrians in the community, except for some office workers and aunts and uncles who go out to exercise, it is difficult to see other people, and no one pays attention to the short and thin Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi is happy to enjoy this rare peace and leisure, she just wanders around casually, occasionally observing the pedestrians around her and the scenery along the way.
Just as she was about to walk out of Jiang Yi's Wanshou Home Community and into the nearby urban area, Yuan Xi suddenly saw a little girl with a strange body walking towards her.
It was a lovely little girl in a white dress, who looked no more than six or seven years old, with slightly reddish curly hair, and a playful kitten hairpin pinned to the back of her head, she bent down on the road with her eyes closed to find something, her hands kept groping on the ground from side to side, she seemed to be a blind person, but she could easily avoid all the pedestrians along the way, and all the pedestrians did not seem to see this strange girl, she stood there like an invisible piece of air.
"Are you looking for something?" Yuan Xi walked up to the girl and asked the little girl with concern: "Why don't you ask your parents to help you find it?" ”
"Mom and Dad abandoned me," the little girl said as she looked up in Yuan Xi's direction, as if she felt Yuan Xi standing here.
"Do you remember your parents' phone numbers or QQ? Can I help you contact them, do you want me to call the police for you? Yuan Xi asked, even though she didn't have a mobile phone now, she could still find a public phone booth.
The little girl sniffed carefully in Yuan Xi's direction, and then smiled innocently at Yuan Xi:
"My sister is a good person, I like the smell of your body, it reminds me of my mother."
"Don't you really need help?" Yuan Xi asked a little helplessly, it's just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and now there is a blind little Lori who says she looks like a mother?
"It's easy for me to find my parents, but sister, I've lost something more important now, can you help me get it back?" The blind little girl had a waxy voice, and her eyelashes were slender and beautiful in her eyes, which had been closed.
"What else? Can it be more important than mom and dad? Yuan Xi asked suspiciously, for a child, aren't parents the closest existence in the world?
"Bai Xue's fairy tale book is lost, without fairy tales, Bai Xue will never see her parents again......" The little girl who called herself "Bai Xue" lowered her head and said quietly.
