"Bell, bell. "The old customs bell struck a deep and distant sound, and a flock of foraging pigeons spread their wings and soared into the air, awakening the sleeping people of the city.

In an old-fashioned Shikumen house, Mrs. Xie was making breakfast in the kitchen, when she heard the bell, she raised her eyes to look at the closed door, frowned slightly, walked to the door in three or two steps, and urged while knocking on the door: "Xiaotong, are you up, hurry up, my sister-in-law is coming back today, get up quickly." The door opened, and a beautiful girl stood at the door, and replied in an obviously sleepy voice: "Grandma, it's so early, it's the weekend today!" Mrs. Xie said angrily: "Your aunt's family is coming back for dinner today, you hurry up and wash up, eat, and help me buy some food later." Tong Yan sighed slightly and obediently did so.

Two bowls of white porridge on the table, a plate of pickles and a little leftovers from last night, it is the breakfast of Tong Yan and grandma, which is the practice of their family. Tong Yan listened to Mrs. Xie's instructions while eating: "Later, you will buy two fish, and then two catties of pork ribs, I bought the rest yesterday, so you don't have to worry about it." As he spoke, he took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and put it on the table. Tong Yan looked at the money, calculated it for a while, and said, "Grandma, pork ribs are not cheap now, a hundred yuan is not enough, right?"

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she pulled her face down: "You go to the wholesale market to buy it, the food there is cheap, it must be enough." After a pause, he began to chant again: "Your mother hasn't paid her living expenses last month, your father still has to support your younger brother, how much money can the family have, I'm an old woman, I'm so old, I still have to take care of your food and drink, and I don't know if I owe you ...... in my previous life" Hearing the nagging mode opened by her grandmother, Tong Yan hurriedly put the last bit of porridge into her mouth, took the money, and went out with her bag.

Going out, Tong Yan took a deep breath, feeling slightly cold in her heart. A few years ago, Tong Yan's parents divorced, her mother remarried, and her father married another, so she became a superfluous and has been living with her grandmother. These two people give their living expenses to Mrs. Xie every month, let the old lady take care of Tong Yan's food and drink, they call Tong Yan every month to show their concern, and every year during the Chinese New Year, Tong Yan's mother will give some New Year's money, nothing else. I don't know why, in recent months, when it comes to giving living expenses, my mother will delay for a few days, and she has to urge several times to call the money, which is not much, and she has to procrastinate, which makes her grandmother very dissatisfied.

After Tong Yan's father remarried, her stepmother gave birth to a younger brother and had an extra child, so the expenses were naturally large. Grandma was reluctant to let her son suffer, not to mention her favorite little grandson, so she didn't let Tong Yan's father increase his living expenses. There is no money in his hand, and he is angry in his heart, so he is naturally angry at Tong Yan. Tong Yan lives cautiously in her grandmother's house, she knows in her heart that if her grandmother doesn't care about her, she will have nowhere to go, because her stepmother will not let her live in the past, so now she has to be patient.

After sweeping a shared bicycle at the entrance of the community, Tong Yan went to the wholesale market a few kilometers away. This wholesale market is newly built, not small, and most importantly has a wide variety. The market is divided into two parts, the south side is to sell melons, fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs and poultry, all kinds of aquatic products; the north side is the daily necessities, the north and south dry goods, etc., because of the large scale, the flow of people is high, in the market also gave birth to several convenience stores, dim sum shops, and even opened a small barber shop, all for the convenience of the people in the shop. In order to save money, Mrs. Xie would ask Tong Yan to go to the wholesale market on weekends to buy more meat dishes, and the vegetables she ate on weekdays would be bought at the vegetable market near her home.

This season in S City is the most comfortable time of the year. The blue sky was filled with white clouds like cotton candy, and the sycamore trees on both sides of the road were leafy, and among the leaves, a few mischievous sparrows were chirping. Tong Yan rode all the way to the wholesale market, feeling a slight sweat on her back. Looking at the signboard of the ×× Road Wholesale Market shining silver in the morning light, Tong Yan let out a long breath. Fortunately, there are not many people during this time period, Tong Yan often comes to this market to buy vegetables, and is very familiar with this market, secretly thinking about which store she will go to buy meat and which store she will go to buy fish.

As soon as she stepped into the door, she felt a violent shaking, Tong Yan subconsciously held on to an iron railing at the door to stabilize her figure, and suddenly a black shadow fell from the sky, Tong Yan wanted to dodge, but the falling object was very fast, and she could only see clearly that it was the signboard that shone with silver light. A sharp pain came, and then Tong Yan fell into darkness.

When Tong Yan woke up again, she found herself lying at the gate of the wholesale market, touching her head, Tong Yan "snorted", and her head still hurt for a while. Reluctantly got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and thought to himself: What a bad luck. When she saw the surrounding situation clearly, Tong Yan was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, the wholesale market was eerily quiet, there was no one around, and what was even more terrifying was that all she could see was this wholesale market, and all the other buildings around it had disappeared. "How can this be? Where have the others gone?" Tong Yan couldn't feel the pain anymore, her heart was beating "thump", as if she was about to jump out of her throat, and her palms were full of cold sweat.

Standing at the door for a while, taking a few deep breaths, Tong Yan calmed down her emotions, and when her mood stabilized a little, Tong Yan grabbed the bag in her hand and slowly walked into the wholesale market. The shops in the market are all open, the goods are neatly piled up, the roads are clean and tidy, even the lights in the shops are on, and the only strange thing is that there are no people - no customers and no shopkeepers.

Tong Yan dared to call out a few times: "Is there anyone? She walked into a dim sum shop, where the snacks on the counter were still warm, the display light on the oven was still red, and a briquette stove next to it was boiling hot and steaming from the lid.

Tong Yan almost traveled through the entire southern area, and finally confirmed one thing, she was the only one in this market, and the others seemed to have disappeared collectively at a certain moment, the only thing that was fortunate was that there was water and electricity here, and they could barely survive.

Tong Yan walked into the newly opened barber shop in the market, pushed the door in, threw the bag on the table at random, found a chair and sat down, full of dazed and scared, only felt that she was locked in a big cage, Tong Yan didn't know the state of living alone, how long she could last, her family didn't treat her very well, but there was always a little warmth in her heart, what should she do now? Anxious emotions spread up, gradually filling the whole brain," I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going to get out of here, I'm going to get out of here. As if it was a cry from the bottom of her heart, Tong Yan couldn't suppress her emotions, cried loudly, and shouted: "I want to leave here!"

Immediately after, Tong Yan only felt her body shake, and when she stood firm again, she stood in a bush. At this time, Tong Yan couldn't cry anymore, she looked at everything around her numbly, and felt that today she had experienced a terrifying event that others had never experienced in their lives.

She stood silently for a moment, observing her surroundings. It was a small hill, and she stood halfway up the mountain, surrounded by a forest with dense weeds. In the distance, there was a sunset that was about to disappear, and the slightly hot evening breeze blew on Tong Yan's body. Tong Yan was sure that she had never been to this place. So why did she come to this strange place? Suddenly, Tong Yan remembered a word called "crossing", could it be that God felt that her life needed some stimulation and gave her such a play. So that wholesale market is the golden finger given by God? Tong Yan stabilized her emotions and silently said "go in" in her heart, and sure enough, the next moment, Tong Yan appeared in the barber shop again.

Okay, that's it, Tong Yan adheres to the principle of what comes and what is safe, fate has given such an arrangement, so you have to go on well.

Tong Yan thought carefully about the current situation, and planned to see where she had crossed over first. The environment of the outer space is unfamiliar, Tong Yan carefully explores the surrounding situation, slowly walks down the mountain along a path, along the way, Tong Yan carefully observes the surroundings, both hoping to meet people, but also afraid of meeting people. When she meets someone, she can quickly figure out what kind of place she is in, but she is also worried about what she will do when she encounters a bad person?

After walking for a while, it was already sunset, and the surroundings were getting darker and darker, and the birds in the woods were chirping when they were returning to their nests, and at this time a small open space appeared in front of Tong Yan's eyes, but the erected things on the open space startled her, because there were several tombstones erected in this place, one of which was newly built, and there were some paper money scattered around. Tong Yan only felt that her scalp was numb, her back was cold, and what was even more terrifying was that the new grave was signed in 1962.

Tong Yan turned around and left, trotting all the way out of the cemetery. It turned out that she had not come to the era in which she lived, but to the sixties, the extremely difficult and turbulent sixties. On this day, Tong Yan experienced an unprecedented impact, both mentally and physically had reached the limit, Tong Yan returned to the space, back to the small barber shop.

I don't know how long she sat down, Tong Yan gradually calmed down, blindly being afraid is not the solution to the problem, if she wants to go back, it is estimated that there is little hope, and if she stays, she must understand the rules of survival in this society. The worst outcome is to stay in this space and live alone.

Tong Yan took a walk around first. The barber shop is divided into three rooms, with the outermost shop, four small tables with four chairs, a sink against the wall, and a chaise longue for shampooing. One of them was a small room, a single bed, a small cupboard, and a long table with an induction cooker, kettle, wok and some seasonings. There is a bathroom on the right side of the room. There is also a washing machine in the bathroom. The living materials are basically complete, and Tong Yan decided to make this place her home.

The heart was settled, and the stomach also protested, from morning to now, Tong Yan was relying on a bowl of porridge to maintain, at this time she was already hungry, Tong Yan decided to get something to eat. Kettle hot water, found somen and eggs in the cupboard, boiled a bowl of egg noodles. A bowl of hot noodles not only soothes the stomach, but also soothes the mood.

Tong Yan plans to clean up well, relying on such a large wholesale market, it should be no problem to arrange her life. Putting away the bed covers, she went to the shop to find new quilts and sheets, and after some washing, Tong Yan lay on the bed and thought about her future life.

Suddenly remembered her bag, before, she put the bag on the table outside, opened the bag, rummaged through the things inside, there was a mobile phone in the bag, a wallet, in the wallet there was a little pocket money and the money given by her grandmother to buy vegetables, it was more than 100 yuan. There was a napkin pack, keys to the house, and an ID card. Looking at these things, there is not much use, mobile phones, no signal, can only be used as a watch. Money in a wallet is a piece of waste paper in this day and age. The ID card is useless, do you take the second-generation ID card as your own identity proof!? The key is even more useless, and it is estimated that it is impossible for you to wear it back.

After sorting out my thoughts, I found that this matter was really troublesome. First of all, there is no information to prove their identity, second, they have no money, and third, they have no tickets. In the sixties, it was impossible to live without these things. Look at yourself, a set of light pink sportswear, a pair of sneakers on your feet, the main colors of this era are blue, black, and gray. Thinking of this, Tong Yan was in no mood to rest, so she slipped to the North District, shopping around the shops one by one, one wanted to find clothes suitable for this era, and the other also wanted to have an understanding of the space she mastered.

The first thing I found was shoes, there was a company that specialized in selling cloth shoes, and Tong Yan picked a pair of black and white soles. The pants were also found, a pair of black cotton pants, the most difficult thing to find was the clothes, after all, no manufacturer would produce that style of clothes, there was really no way, Tong Yan found a black short-sleeved undershirt. The distance on the mountain just now was not long, but there was still a lot of sweat, so Tong Yan guessed that the outer space should be summer. The almost black outfit should be in line with the wearing characteristics of this era.

I went to a few more shops and finally found what Tong Yan wanted. When she used to visit, she found that the shop sold some small items with a sense of age, such as army-green crossbody bags, enamel cups, enamel bowls, and almost extinct matches. I took a satchel, put a cup with blue edges on a white background, and found a white towel. That's what she's going to be equipped to go out tomorrow.

As soon as my mind turned, it would be too inconvenient if I had to rely on myself to find these things a little bit, and it would be nice to be able to get things by my mind. I thought about it and gave it a try, meditating on the cup, and sure enough, the cup appeared in my hand. Great! This avoids going back and forth into space, and reduces the probability of being discovered. Tong Yan was secretly happy. returned to the barber shop, turned on the mobile phone alarm, and Tong Yan fell asleep deeply.

The next day, in the morning light, Tong Yan appeared on the hillside, all the way down, along the trail on the mountain, walked for about 20 minutes, and finally came to the foot of the mountain, looking around, a small village appeared in front of him, the yellow mud houses were scattered and scattered, the mottled walls were painted with slogans, there were one or two companies of green smoke coming out of the chimneys, and the crowing of the rooster could be faintly heard. There are green plants in the field, and as for what is planted, Tong Yan can't tell it. There was a dirt road at the bottom of the mountain, and Tong Yan walked along this potholed road, which should be on the outskirts of the village, and it was still early, so she didn't meet anyone.

When she reached the end of the road, a wider dirt road appeared in front of Tong Yan's eyes, looking at the shoes and trouser legs that had been stained with mud, Tong Yan frowned, tugged at the strap of her backpack, and prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that God would take care of her once.

After walking for an hour, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on Tong Yan's forehead, and a faint pain in her feet came, and it seemed that she needed to find a place to rest. Tong Yan looked at the surrounding buildings, it was much better than what she had seen before, most of the houses here were bricks, and occasionally there were ox carts passing by, looking at this look, this should be a small town.

At a fork in the road, there was an open space, and in the open space there was a simple tent, and in the middle there was a stove, and on the stove was a large aluminum pot, and something was boiling in the pot, and it was steaming at this time. There was a long queue in front of the stove, and the people in the line, old and young, holding cups or plates in their hands, were waiting for the food to be distributed, and Tong Yan walked over curiously. At this time, she saw more people, those people in shabby clothes, some leaning against the tree with their burdens, some squatting in the corner eating something, some gathering together in twos and threes, and some people with their families gathered in a heap. A little better, build a shed with rags, and the whole family huddled together, Tong Yan thought to herself, how did she feel like she was fleeing.

After finding a slightly empty place, she didn't care if it was clean or not, so Tong Yan sat down. I really can't stand anymore, I've been walking for nearly two hours since morning, and she has never walked such a long way in a row, plus she is wearing cloth shoes, all kinds of unaccustomed things! Tong Yan pinched her calves and helped her muscles relax, while listening to the group of people. After listening to it for a while, sure enough, this group of people really escaped.

At this moment, Tong Yan only felt that her left shoulder was gently patted, and when she turned her head, she saw a woman about sixty years old, with short hair a little messy, a few white hairs still on her back, and a round face with a smile, and asked: "Girl, where did you come from? I haven't seen you before, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, hurry up and line up, and there will be no food after a while." After saying that, he pointed to the place where he was in line. Tong Yan also replied with a smile, thanked her, thought about it, and went to line up.
