Forty-six, the time trap
Duan Pingsi has disappeared from this world for ten days, and in addition to Xiaoqiang and Professor A, there is another person who remembers him, and that is Liu Jiaying.
On this day, when Liu Jiaying came to the laboratory to find Duan Siping, Professor A told him that Duan Pingsi might have returned to his hometown, and the signal was not good there, and now the phone can't get through.
However, Liu Jiaying did not give up, but continued to come to Duan Pingsi's dormitory to look for him, and at the door of the dormitory, she met Xiaoqiang, who also came to find Duan Pingsi.
Xiaoqiang said: "You're his girlfriend, right?" I haven't seen him in days, and the last time I saw him was when he came to talk to me! ”
Liu Jiaying blushed when she heard Xiaoqiang say that she was Duan Pingsi's girlfriend, her little heart was pounding, but she hurriedly denied it: "No, no, I'm not his girlfriend, we're just ordinary friends!" ”
"You see you're blushing, it seems that what I said is right, in fact, you don't have to be shy, everyone is an adult in their twenties, this thing is normal."
Xiaoqiang, who has a straightforward personality, is unrelenting to her.
"I don't know what to call you, are you also his friend?" Liu Jiaying quickly changed the topic.
"My name is Xiaoqiang, we are friends, we have known each other for almost a year, at first we were just classmates who lived in the opposite door, and now we often eat and chat together!" Xiao Qiangdao.
In his heart, Xiaoqiang unconsciously regarded Duan Pingsi as his best friend, and his first friend after coming to China, and he appreciated Duan Pingsi's wisdom and sincerity.
"Did he say where he was going when you were chatting?"
Liu Jiaying asked cautiously, for some reason, she had a vague foreboding that Duan Pingsi was not an ordinary person, and there was a group of inexplicable men in black chasing him.
Will he be killed by the men in black? Liu Jiaying didn't dare to think about it anymore, she and Duan Pingsi had surpassed the relationship of ordinary friends, and she didn't want him to have any mistakes.
"Nope!" Xiao Qiang shook his head, "The last time we met, we only talked about parallel universes, and I remember he asked me the question 'Is it possible for people to fall into parallel universes', but he couldn't ......"
Xiao Qiang remembered Duan Pingsi's words, and suddenly thought about whether he would really fall into a parallel universe, but he felt that this idea was too bizarre, so he didn't continue.
"You're talking about parallel universes?"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. When Xiaoqiang talked about the parallel universe, Liu Jiaying's face turned white and she was surprised.
"yes, he asked me about the parallel universe, and the two of us talked about it for hours! What happened to you? Any questions? ”
Xiao Qiang also found out that Liu Jiaying was wrong, she seemed to be afraid of the "parallel universe".
"It's okay, thank you!"
Liu Jiaying left in a hurry after saying this, Xiao Qiang shouted at her back, "If he comes back, tell me, I have something to do with him!" ”
However, at this time, Liu Jiaying could no longer hear Xiaoqiang's words, she only had one thought in her heart, Duan Pingsi was in danger, and only she had a way to save him.
At this time, Ping Si's situation was really terrible, and the inexplicable feeling of suffocation was getting stronger and stronger, and it had oppressed him so much that he could hardly breathe normally.
One hundred and nineteen years have passed in this small world, and the sun is still rising in the east and setting in the west, but Bai Mao's whole body has turned white, and he has not gotten up for several days.
If it weren't for the fact that its heart was still beating vigorously, Duan Pingsi would have even thought it was dead.
At first, Duan Pingsi thought that time would pass much faster, and he would not feel difficult to endure for a day, a month or even a year, but by the time he reached the sixtieth year, the feeling of time passing was no different from that in the real world.
The feeling of a day, a month, a year, or even ten years has become more real, except that there is no obvious change in the physical appearance, Duan Pingsi's entire mental state has really aged.
It's a terrible thing, and if he is allowed to continue like this, he may die here of old age......
By the time he was in the eighties, Duan Pingsi had already traveled to all corners of the small world with white hair, but he still hadn't found any way to go home.
As a result, they not only built mud houses here, but also raised livestock, and lived the life of the early days of the agricultural revolution.
After more than 30 years of hard work, Duan Pingsi has opened up a beautiful manor, in which the houses, there are pigsties, there are chicken coops, here are green trees, chickens and dogs smell each other, compared with Tao Yuanming's paradise, there is nothing better.
However, behind everything that seems infinitely beautiful, there is a terrifying crisis hidden, Bai Mao has not eaten for several days, and Duan Pingsi is afraid that he will soon become a "loner".
"Eat something, or you'll have a problem!"
Duan Pingsi patted Bai Mao's little head, its iconic white hair was no longer prominent, and now its entire body had become a veritable white hair.
"Squeak!"
The white-haired belly made a faint sound one by one, and a pair of small eyes looked at its owner quietly, with tears in their eyes, and they looked reluctant.
"If you want to go, go quietly, I'll remember you!"
Duan Pingsi hugged Bai Mao tightly, feeling that its heartbeat had become weaker, it was reluctant to leave immediately, maybe it was just reluctant to be its master.
"Squeak! Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak! ”
After a few last wails, White Fur slowly closed its eyes, and here ended its life for one hundred and nineteen years and eleven months.
At this moment, Duan Pingsi did not cry, but he was happy for the departure of his old friend, the days here are too lonely, and heaven is the most beautiful destination.
A small lonely grave appeared on the lawn in the center of the manor, and in front of the grave stood a wooden tombstone with six big characters written on it: "Tomb of Old Friend White Hair!"
Duan Pingsi brought two bowls of homemade rice wine, one bowl sprinkled in front of Bai Mao's grave, and the other bowl was drunk by him in one go, as a final farewell to his old friend.
After Bai Mao left, Duan Pingsi became even more lonely, nostalgic for those days in the real world, and suddenly felt that there were many dangers and helplessness, but it was also very exciting.
Life really played a big joke with him, because of the pursuit of a man in black, because he inadvertently activated the little black object in a hurry, and since then he has fallen into a "time trap", and it seems that he can never go back.
"I wonder how long I'll live here?"
After Bai Mao left, Duan Pingsi often thought about the problem of death, and when he thought that he didn't even have a person to collect the body after his death, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Do I still have a chance to get out?"
