If…
If Lin Zhaoxi had known in advance that she would encounter such a weird and absurd thing after taking this step.
Before that, she must Baidu the special winning numbers of the sports lottery and recite them silently in her heart.
But she didn't have time, after all, no one would know that they were going to time travel before time travel.
Yep, by the broad definition of web fiction, she was 12 years old after writing the whole formula.
She still maintains the posture of writing on the wall with chalk in hand.
But the wall is not that wall, the door is not that door, and even the stray cat on the side of the road is not the same little raccoon as before.
The surrounding environment has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Lin Zhaoxi took a half step back, looking seriously at her shortened, blackened and fattened arms.
"Day." She swears, stares at the wall, and falls silent.
The wall is red brick, and there is a huge iron gate on the right.
On the upper left side, there is a metal plate. The color is old, and there is still copper rust, and it says "Anning City Hope Project Funding Unit".
She didn't know what happened, she moved her gaze to the left very slowly, and then saw more listings.
There are yellow and white, new and old listings.
Some of them were written "Social Practice Base of XX University", and some were written "Pilot Unit of Heart-to-Heart Mutual Help and Mutual Assistance".
The last one was the largest, with black characters on a white background, and it said - "Anning City Red Star Welfare Institute".
It's weird to say, although after returning to the past, this little weirdness can't be said - at that moment, she clearly realized that she was still her, but she had returned to the fifth grade of elementary school.
It was as if someone clicked between her eyebrows, and then the information poured in and became part of her consciousness itself, and she naturally accepted it all.
She even knew clearly that the orphanage behind the iron gate in front of her was called Hongxing, where she lived day and night for twelve years until the fifth grade of elementary school.
She was abandoned here since she was a child, with no father and mother, and a strange temper. Fortunately, she was good at school, and the dean's mother liked her very much, and tried to send her to a normal local elementary school.
Although her life path is completely different from before, she is still the same Lin Zhaoxi.
Only this time, she not only has no mother, but also no father.
All of a sudden, she had changed so much that even with an adult mind, she still felt powerless and confused like never before.
Her legs and feet were weak and her heart was beating violently. She could not help but sit down on the steps in front of the orphanage.
After sitting down, I calmed down for a while. In a flash of inspiration, she finally found a sentence she had heard before to describe her current situation.
—Every thought and choice of a person will create a different world.
It's like standing in a cake shop and wondering whether to choose strawberry or cheese flavor.
Once, she lived with strawberry options, and now, apparently, she lives in a world of cheese.
I don't know which thought made the problem. In the world of cheese flavors, she and Lao Lin have no father-daughter relationship so far, which is completely different from the plot line in which their father and daughter depended on each other since they were young.
In a more popular way, she came to a parallel world. In this world, for some reason, Lao Lin didn't raise her and she was an orphan.
It is also very simple to determine this.
Lin Zhaoxi stood up, found a reflective silver-white sign among the many signs at the entrance of the orphanage, and took a photo.
Um…
Round face, big eyes, big ears, round nose...
She looked exactly the same as before when she was a child.
Summer is approaching, and the weather is hot.
Lin Zhaoxi felt relieved after confirming this point. She smacked her lips and leaned back, savoring her memories of this world.
In the next second, the schoolbag slammed heavily on the edge of the upper step, and the pencil case and the water cup made loud noises.
She was startled, and hurriedly loosened the strap, and put the schoolbag on her chest, for fear of breaking something.
Lin Zhaoxi was stunned.
This is not hers, this series of actions are all Xiao Lin Zhaoxi's instinctive reaction.
Don't break things, even ordinary schoolbags and water glasses are very precious, and she can't afford a second one.
Lin Zhaoxi held the bag belt and looked down.
The schoolbag was washed white, and the easy-to-break parts of the strap were fixed by fine-stitched patches.
Then she discovered that there was something wrong with what she described just now. To her, this world was not as smooth as cheese at all, and it was bitter from beginning to end.
Like all orphans, her greatest wish since she was sensible was that her parents could come back to pick her up.
But for twelve years, she never waited for her parents to arrive.
In this world, she is really fierce, she hates the teacher in class and hates the classmates after class, she is rebellious and refuses to accept anyone. One of her most recent heroic deeds was to beat the head teacher's son on the ground.
Now at noon, she came back for dinner, and the class teacher asked her to notify the parents to go to school in the afternoon. But she didn't dare to let the dean's mother know, so she could only hesitate at the entrance of the orphanage.
The picture at that time should be very simple and pure.
She in this world took a step back at the gate of the orphanage, but in that world she took a step forward at the gate of her home.
After entering and retreating, Lin Zhaoxi, who was in grade 5, was replaced by 22-year-old Lin Zhaoxi.
Now, Lin Zhaoxi in the fifth grade will neither be eccentric because of lack of love, nor anxious and painful because of fear of the dean's reprimand.
But another emotion came along with it.
When she looked up, she could only see a thin line of sky through the eaves.
Old Lin, where are you
Without me, would your life still be messed up
…
Lin Zhaoxi thought for a long time.
In the end, she simply patted her buttocks and stood up from the entrance of the orphanage. They've come anyway, so I still have to try to find Lao Lin.
Walking out of the alley, the city picture scroll is laid out.
At that time, Anning City had not experienced large-scale construction. The buildings are short and small, and the shops are crowded, such as roast chicken shops, noodle shops, clothing stores... The waiters are busy in aprons, and the grandfather is sweeping the dust on the shelves with a feather duster. Although the furnishings are far from as bright as they were later, they are inexplicably friendly.
Lin Zhaoxi was walking on the road, looking around.
After living in Anning City for so many years, she had of course heard of the Red Star Welfare Institute, but she only had a rough idea of where it was.
There was a familiar aroma in the air, she walked a few steps quickly, and saw a squid stall made of iron plates, now, all the general concepts became concrete. Hey, the Red Star Welfare Institute is not far from where she and Lao Lin used to live. She doesn't need to cross the entire city on foot.
A big banner was hung on the iron plate squid stall, with the words "Chen Dayan" written on it. Later, Anning TV made a gourmet program, respecting the owner Chen as the god of squid.
However, in those days, elementary school students were generally rewarded with a dime for washing dishes, so three skewers of squid for five yuan was still not cheap.
The stall was surrounded by students on three floors inside and three floors outside, and Lin Zhaoxi crowded inside to watch.
There was a kid who probably ate it for the first time, holding grandma's hand.
The stall owner asked them what kind of sauce they wanted, and grandma said without hesitation that no sauce was needed, and that children cannot eat spicy food.
Lin Zhaoxi looked at the three cups of sauces that were raved about by the media, pulled the children's clothes, and whispered, "Sweet and spicy sauce is delicious, try it."
Grandma glared at her, took the squid and took the child's hand and left.
The children step back and look back three times.
Lin Zhaoxi pointed to the sweet and spicy sauce, and exaggeratedly said "super delicious".
The boss burst out laughing, probably very pleased, he held up a squid on a plate and insisted on giving it to her.
"No need! Let my dad bring me to buy it next time!" Lin Zhaoxi waved to the boss, carried her schoolbag and continued to walk forward.
At the end of the road is another street.
There are two primary schools near the Red Star Welfare Institute. When it gets closer, the children who go home for dinner begin to return to school one after another.
The streets are full of elementary school students in school uniforms of different colors.
Most children are picked up by their parents.
Lin Zhaoxi was alone, and the more she walked, the more lonely she became.
But the reason she feels lonely is not Lao Lin. But when she passed by familiar magazine stores and snack shops, she experienced the loneliness that belonged to Kobayashi's day and night in the world of cheese.
Going to and from school every day, Xiaolin, who is alone, misses her parents she has never met. She hopes that someone will hold her hand and buy her the automatic pen and exercise book she has wanted for a long time in the store.
She will call the other party's father or mother, act like a baby, and be filial to the other party.
The wish was so simple and simple, Lin Zhaoxi's eyes turned red for no reason.
She nodded her nose: You are so coaxing, little girl.
