In the Spring Festival of 2023, the streets of Pingnan City are full of red stickers and the word Fu, there are young children crying in front of every shopping mall and shouting for Spring Festival gifts from grandparents, every restaurant is pushing reunion dinners, 1 boy and girl who have just fallen in love are holding hands, girls are holding roses cultivated in greenhouses and walking on the streets, and beggars begging on the roadside will say Happy New Year.

An innocent little virgin who took an early annual leave because of the company smiled and stuffed the comics he bought with pocket money from newspapers and magazines into the large pocket of his washed white jeans, nodded in gratitude, but at the same time unceremoniously stuffed a lollipop into his hand.

"You kid has become an employee of a large enterprise, why are you still buckling the rope." The newspaper boss responded with a helpless smile, although he was a little surprised, didn't this kid go abroad with his head held high? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Maybe it's because the grandmothers are a little pitiful, he has nowhere to go on such a cold day.

"What's the matter, I went out and went around to know that it was still better for our country, even if I went anywhere, I didn't have to worry about safety." Lu Tiancheng scratched his head and said, "Actually, it's pretty good, at least it's safe." ”

A week ago, one night when he was still lying in a hospital bed wrapped in rice dumplings after returning from Japan, Natsukawa called him and told him about it, and although they succeeded, the Yamaguchi-gumi did not admit defeat and still poured contaminated water with nuclear waste into the seawater.

They're trying to find a way to stop it, and if they can, there's a chance that it will all be paused.

When the sun was about to go down, Lu Tiancheng found the old apartment hidden behind the busy university.

Although time has not passed for many years, the streets have changed a little, and the leaves of the plane trees on both sides of the street have fallen and the dead branches have cut the faint sunlight into pieces.

It turns out that Lu Tiancheng has always lived in such a place.

The balconies built between the blue bricks and white tiles, and the wooden windows with green paint, are the products of the last century, and they can be said to carry the youth of many people.

Because this building has been many years old, the lighting in the corridor is very bad, only a few dim incandescent lights flickering and flickering, it seems to be an old man who is not as good as his eyes, and the walls are plastered with small cards of "professional unlocking" and "unclogging sewers".

Lu Tiancheng gently stroked the rusted door plate, as if he sighed for the short time when the two of them met.

Most of the people who stayed here were old people, and some of the young people who were talented had already moved out of here.

According to these old people, they are like waiting for rotting wood, and they may not know when they will disappear with everything here.

This old house is inhabited by some old neighbors, and even an alien wild dog will be spotted by them.

Lu Tiancheng stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the door, now he is a professional agent who has been accepted for a long time, even if he relies on an instant noodle, he can enter and exit various communities at will.

With Lu Tiancheng's efforts, the old door lock was finally opened, like a little elf who had been hiding for a long time and was discovered.

The warm sunset was blowing in his face, and he stood in the sunlight for a long time.

As he entered the room, he strolled along the walls, his fingers sweeping over the dusty windowsill; When I opened the refrigerator, it was empty, and the cold temperature was a little inappropriate for the current atmosphere.

Is this where you live? Lu Tiancheng thought.

Lu Tiancheng didn't speak, he just sat quietly on the edge of the bed, facing the sunset, thinking about the friend who had not known him for a long time, but had a very good relationship.

It's like the elementary school text "Where Has Time Gone".

The sun was about to set, and the darkness was slowly eroding the land like a demon, and Lu Tiancheng's somewhat thin figure turned into a long shadow projected on the wall under the care of the sun. There was a faint noise outside, and this kind of fireworks atmosphere was so unattainable for Lu Tiancheng now.

Did that person live like this all along?

"I'm leaving, this is the last journey of the fallen angel, and I'm very happy to be able to see him soon." Lu Tiancheng's head remembered Chu Xian's voice again.

Even if a person lives so lonely in this world, he has never given up his fantasy of future life, even in front of an empty room, he will change into an apron to make three dishes and one soup, and then whisper to the empty chairs around him: "I'm going to move." ”

Lu Tiancheng felt a little tired and wanted to sleep, so he lay down with his clothes and put his hands on Chu Xian's pillow, he didn't know how to commemorate this friend who had disappeared, and walking the way he walked was still the best explanation.

"Don't worry, there are some things, I will do it for you, this is my promise."

Then Lu Tiancheng slowly closed his eyes, and at this moment the sunset took away the last afterglow, and the night covered Lu Tiancheng like a curtain, as if the coffin lid was slowly closed.

This time Lu Tiancheng had a dream, in which he clearly saw an angel, and he would not see the angel in the sunshine bowing his head, as if to kiss his lips.

Late at night, Alaska, Charles Brauery. Waitresses in reindeer-cut low-cut skirts hesitate to chase the drunken man away.

But this guy has a frightening amount of alcohol, and he has already asked for seven or eight liters of beer in a row, which is difficult to transport in this kind of local material, and these beers are about a few hundred dollars.

"Hey! Belle! Two more beers! Huo Hang said with an intoxicated face.

"Boy, I don't want you to drink too much and make trouble here, nozuonodai, this is my newly learned Chinese vocabulary." Opposite him, a short, emaciated old man in a black tweed coat curled up in a chair, still drinking his second glass.

"If I were you, I wouldn't stop a sad man at this time." Huo Hang didn't care

"Those Japanese children have been making a lot of noise lately, and it seems that they still don't regret after being taught harshly by you last time, but resentment is just a trivial matter of feelings, but to compete with the whole world, those Japanese young people are too ignorant, and the Seraphs have made up their minds to teach them some lessons, if you can, I invite you to participate in the fun." The old man said.

"Hey! I'm ready to retire now, do I like to play the violin? You can come to me. Huo Hang shrugged and took out a watch from his arms and said.

"yes." The old man broke a piece of bread and put it in the beer glass: "To be honest, I have always been very interested in music." ”

The two of them were silent for a while, and they smiled in unison, raising their glasses to each other in the air, paying tribute to the former killing angel.

But no one will forget, because in this world, there will always be people who will sew and mend, as long as they still remember that man, he has never died, just like a TV series once said.

"Veterans never die, they just keep withering."

The man had breathed deeply, as if he wanted to suck the nightmares of the whole world into his body, a devastating flood was ready to come, and the faint light of humanity was like a lamp that never went out in the midst of a raging storm.

Don't be confused, don't be trapped in love, don't be afraid of the future, don't think about the past, so, everything is fine.

When a beam of light enters the Tokyo Tower in Japan, and the filth and filth inside the tower are revealed, then the light is sinful.
