In Lin Banxia's eyes, time paused for a moment, but in Song Qingluo's eyes, it was teleported. One moment he was before the van, the next moment his body appeared in another place. Song Qingluo lowered his head and saw Lin Banxia's cheeks covered in cold sweat, he wondered, "Panxia?"
"Hurry up, hurry up and get out of here." Before he could explain, Lin Banxia hurried Song Qingluo, "The wall is about to collapse."
After saying that, he grabbed Song Qingluo's hand and ran to a safe place. Before leaving a few steps, there was a rumbling sound of collapse from behind. Sure enough, the wall that was hit by the front of the truck fell to the ground with a splash. Thick layer of dust.
Lin Banxia covered her mouth and nose, coughed, and beckoned those around her to step back. I don't know what was on the truck. First, thick black smoke came out, and then bright flames sprang up. Looking at the severely sunken front of the truck, the driver may have been very bad.
Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo stood on the side of the road in embarrassment. The two of them looked ahead and didn't speak for a while.
"What happened just now?" Song Qingluo asked.
Lin Banxia's lips moved, and found that he still couldn't tell Song Qingluo about his experience, not even a euphemistic hint. After a moment of silence, he said two words with difficulty: "I'm sorry."
Song Qingluo turned to look at Lin Banxia.
"I really can't tell." Lin Banxia said, "What... is stopping me." There was no expression on his face, and the green lines in his eyes began to appear again, with a bit of flirtatious flavor. It should have been apologetic words, because the calm face was strangely divine, as if the gods were showing mercy to his family.
Song Qingluo grabbed Lin Banxia's hand and tightened it abruptly, probably because she was too strong, Lin Banxia let out a "hiss" in pain.
Song Qingluo let go of her hand, realizing that she had hurt Lin Banxia with too much strength, she immediately felt a deep sense of apology, and was about to apologize, but Lin Banxia held back her hand. Lin Banxia said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm not made of paper, so fragile."
Song Qingluo whispered, "It hurts you."
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt too much." Lin Banxia said, "Just to wake me up..." He paused for a moment, "Then we still go to the supermarket?"
Although there was an accident just now, it was already at the door of the supermarket, so it was a bit of a waste not to go in.
"Go." Song Qingluo said.
In the dusty sky, the two passed through the crowd watching the lively and walked into the supermarket next to them. Because of the huge noise just heard, many people rushed out of the supermarket to watch the excitement. Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo entered the supermarket against the flow of people, pushed a cart, and walked to the fresh food area.
Lin Banxia thought about what had just happened, and was a little distracted. She followed Song Qingluo around to the checkout area, only to realize that the whole cart was full, and there was a small pack of Coke on the top. It makes me happy to look at it.
After the bill was settled, the two walked out carrying large and small bags. When they arrived at the door, Lin Banxia saw that the fire brigade had already arrived at the location where the car accident happened just now. The fire lit in the car was doused with water, and Lin Banxia heard someone in the crowd howling, it seemed to be the victim's family. The cry made Lin Banxia feel a little uncomfortable, and she reached out and rubbed her eyes.
"Go back." Song Qingluo's voice came from the side.
Lin Banxia said hello and followed him back.
The wind in the evening was a bit strong, and it brought a hint of coolness, and it was very comfortable to blow on people. The roadside is a noisy road, and it is just time to get off work, and there is a lot of traffic and fireworks everywhere. The stalls on the side of the road were set up secretly, and the aroma of the food mixed with human voices washed Lin Banxia's senses. He was holding something in one hand, and Song Qingluo was holding the other tightly—as if he was afraid that he would suddenly disappear, Song Qingluo's hand was a little harder than usual.
The two of them held hands, ignoring the glances around them, and walked back slowly, just like they had experienced countless afternoons.
When they got home, they washed the dishes and set fire to the fire. Lin Banxia stood beside Song Qingluo who was wearing an apron and helped the cook. Xiao Hua and Xiao Cao, who were sleeping in the living room, also woke up. The house came alive in an instant and became very lively.
The bone soup was paired with Song Qingluo's special seasonings, and the steaming hot pot base was freshly baked. Seeing that it was still early, Lin Banxia asked if he wanted to call Li Su and Ji Leshui over to eat together. Song Qingluo said it doesn't matter.
So Lin Banxia called Li Su and went to the next door to call Ji Leshui. Li Su and Li Ye were very happy after learning that Lin Banxia was all right, and brought a bottle of red wine by the way. Several people sat down in the living room and began to eat happily.
Song Qingluo's craftsmanship has always been good, it is clearly the same material, but in his hands it becomes a different flavor.
Li Su asked Lin Banxia if there was any discomfort.
"No, I'm fine." Lin Banxia lied, he wasn't very good, something was planted into his consciousness like a seed, and it had not hatched yet, but it had already begun to move . But the worst part is that he can't even describe this feeling, or even if he does, it's just futile to make the people around him worry, and no one can solve it.
Taking another sip of the wine, Lin Banxia's cheeks flushed slightly: "What about you? Has your mental state recovered?"
"Recovered." Li Su said, "I'm not crazy." He smiled brightly, "I don't know what happened, but the rain stopped suddenly... The heretics are gone, as if the whole world has been cleaned up once."
Lin Banxia said, "Yes."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Li Su joked, "Is there a hero who saved the world somewhere we don't know?"
Ji Leshui cowardly agreed: "It's possible, maybe all the things I saw were killed by heroes."
Lin Banxia couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "It's really possible."
Li Su smiled and his emotions became more and more high. He hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, and there was nothing waiting for him. In his life, there was only a happy time spent with friends.
Lin Banxia also liked Li Su like this, full of energy, and seemed to be infected by everyone, Song Qingluo's tense expression also relaxed slightly. Lin Banxia kept staring at Song Qingluo from the corner of his eye, and when he saw the corners of his mouth twitching, the smile on his face became brighter.
This is very good, Lin Banxia thought, this is very good - he does not like the gods who control everything, but only craves every little luck in life.
A child's cry suddenly sounded in the room. The five of them were stunned for a moment. Song Qingluo was the first to react, got up and walked to the sofa, bent down and hugged Xiaohua. Xiaohua leaned on his shoulder, crying humbly, her face was full of tears.
This was the first time that Lin Banxia heard Xiao Hua's cry. He immediately stood up and shouted, "Xiao Hua? What's wrong?"
Ji Leshui also said anxiously, "Is Xiaohua uncomfortable??"
Xiaohua didn't answer, and cried more and more loudly. Ji Leshui wanted to take her from Song Qingluo's arms, but Xiaohua was rejected. She shook her head, holding onto Song Qingluo's clothes and refused to let go. Seeing Lin Banxia's heart twitching, she felt extremely distressed.
Song Qingluo's mood was similar to Lin Banxia's. The time he spent with Xiaohua was enough for him to treat this lovely girl as his own sister. He gently stroked Xiaohua's back while coaxing him. Soothing her emotions: "What's wrong with Xiaohua? Why did she start crying suddenly?"
Xiaohua sobbed and burst into tears: "Brother, brother, don't..."
Song Qingluo was slightly taken aback.
"No." Xiaohua cried, "I don't want to leave my brother." She grabbed Song Qingluo's clothes and refused to let go, so Song Qingluo could only coax when she saw this, "Xiaohua doesn't cry, my brother won't go anywhere. went."
Xiaohua kept shaking her head, as if she didn't want to believe what he said.
Li Su and Li Ye stood beside him without saying a word. Although Lin Banxia and the others claimed that Xiaohua was a relative's child, they both knew in their hearts, which relative's child would dare to play with a skeleton frame? They were having so much fun, and if they were ordinary children, how could Song Qingluo and Lin Banxia leave the two little ones at home.
Although this kind of thing is well known, it would be inappropriate to provoke it directly, so neither of them said anything, leaving Song Qingluo to coax them.
Xiaohua cried for a while, and finally got tired from crying, and fell asleep with her eyes closed in Song Qingluo's arms. Seeing this, Lin Banxia asked Song Qingluo to put her in the bedroom, while Xiaoku followed behind very sensible, obediently crawling to Xiaohua's side and continued to coax her. Ji Leshui is still quite worried, afraid that Xiaohua is not feeling well.
Fortunately, Xiaohua's cries became smaller, and eventually became even breathing, as if she fell asleep. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the living room.
"Why are you crying suddenly?" Li Su said, "What's wrong?"
"No." Lin Banxia said, "It may be the child's temper tantrums. It's alright. He's not crying now."
Song Qingluo sat beside him silently, without saying a word.
The atmosphere seemed a little stiff. Li Su wanted to say something, but suddenly paused, and seemed unsure: "Is it raining?"
"It's raining." Li Ye confirmed his words.
That's right, it's raining. The light rain came silently, and no one found out when it started. Lin Banxia turned her back to the window, and when she heard Li Su's words, "It's raining," her body froze invisibly.
"No way." Li Ye said, "Why is it raining suddenly." He remembered what happened before, and suddenly became nervous, "... Banxia?"
Lin Banxia slowly turned her head and saw the rain curtain outside the window. Although he had prayed countless times in his heart, when he really saw the falling spots of light outside the window, his heart sank to the bottom in an instant - no accident happened, everything was as he imagined.
"It's raining." Li Su said, "Let's go back..." He just glanced at the rain curtain, and felt turbulent again, and even goosebumps appeared on his skin involuntarily, as if the rain curtain in front of him was something Horrible picture in general.
"Let's go back." Li Su's voice was trembling
Li Ye noticed his strangeness and reached out to support his shaking body: "Li Su?"
"You shouldn't follow me." Li Su said, "You shouldn't follow me..." His originally full of energy eyes began to gradually become empty, and his eyes passed through the person in front of him, "It's all my fault. "
Lin Banxia didn't understand what he said, and Li Ye's expression instantly became solemn. He stretched out his hand and took Li Su into his arms, turned his face in Li Su's ear, and said a word in Russian. Lin Banxia couldn't understand those words, and her tone was deep, like a muttering of sadness among lovers. However, such fragility is only for a moment. Li Ye's eyes quickly changed back to his usual calmness, and he used his arms slightly to hug Li Su, who was in a trance.
Li Su lay on Li Ye's shoulders like a child, sobbing uncontrollably. Tears kept overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and a little hung on his eyelashes, looking fragile and beautiful.
"Is that kind of thing affecting Li Su again?" Li Ye asked.
"No, there are no green spots on his body." Lin Banxia shook his head, "I can't see anything."
Li Ye frowned.
"I can't see it either." Ji Leshui next to him was equally dazed, "There is no such strange thing in him..."
It seems that it is not a mental infection caused by the situation seen before, but something else.
For a while, the living room was terribly quiet.
"I'm going to take him back." Li Ye said, "In a familiar environment, his condition should be better."
"Go back now?" Song Qingluo said, "Be careful, don't let him touch the rain."
Li Ye hummed. Before he went out, he glanced back at Lin Banxia. Lin Banxia's eyes stopped outside the window, as if there was something in the black rain that they couldn't see. Song Qingluo had a rare feeling of nervousness, and he didn't even realize that he was holding Lin Banxia's wrist tightly, as if he was afraid that the people around him would disappear in the next second.
"Take care." Li Ye said.
"Well." Song Qingluo said, "You too."
Li Su began to cry in a low voice again, struggling with his feet, trying to break free from Li Ye's imprisoned embrace. Li Ye restrained his movements with one hand, raised his hand slightly, and carried him neatly on his shoulders, then walked out without expression.
Li Su couldn't break free, and his crying became louder and louder, crying for help. Looking at the shrinking and fearful expression, if Lin Banxia and the others hadn't confirmed the relationship between the two, they would have really thought that Li Ye would do something to Li Su.
Li Ye was expressionless from beginning to end, got into the car indifferently, stuffed Li Su into the co-pilot indifferently, and helped him fasten his seat belt even more indifferently.
Li Su looked at Li Ye, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. He always felt that he didn't know the tall man in front of him. Those green eyes were like the wolf in the fairy tale he had read, and the next bite would be like the one who ate his grandmother. Like a big bad wolf, he swallowed all his belt bones. Seeing the strange black belt restraining his movements, Li Su, who was suffering from a paranoid attack, almost fainted. His cries became more and more harsh, his face was full of panic and panic, and he reached out to remove the seat belt from his body. Pulling it down, there is no way to get the hang of it, but it gets tighter and tighter.
Just as Li Ye started the car, he noticed that Li Su was struggling more and more.
Li Su froze slightly.
"Don't move the belt." Li Ye's voice was cold, and he couldn't hear much mildness. "Sit on the chair obediently, do you hear it?"
Li Su blinked, tears still hanging on his snow-white eyelashes.
Li Ye rarely sees this kind of appearance on Li Su's body, but at this time, he sees it with mixed flavors. Li Ye sighed inaudibly, stretched out his fingers to wipe away the tears from Li Su's eyelashes, lowered his head again, and dropped a hot and restrained kiss on the corner of his red eyes.
"Go home." Li Ye stretched out his hand and pressed it on Li Su's head, rubbing Li Su's head the same way Li Su rubbed his hair when he was a child.
Li Su, who was on the brink of emotional collapse, was miraculously comforted by this behavior. The unprovoked panic eased a lot. He leaned back on the chair, huddled into a ball, and murmured in a low voice, "It's raining."
Li Ye was silent.
"I don't like rain." Li Su said.
Li Ye didn't like rain either, he didn't even like cloudy days. The cloudy days in Russia are cold and dry, and the wind blowing on the cheeks even carries rough sand. It was a memory that Li Ye could not forget when he was young, and it was engraved into every inch of his blood.
But after being brought back to China by Li Su, Li Ye began to hate the sun.
Because as long as there was sun, Li Su was forced to cover himself so tightly that he couldn't even see an inch of his skin. Such a Li Su would always make Li Ye feel unfamiliar.
The car restarted, Li Ye stepped on the accelerator and drove into the dark night.
The fine raindrops slammed on the window, like a life-threatening note, making people feel irritable. Li Su began to tremble again. Although there was no obvious performance, Li Ye could clearly perceive that his mental state was almost extremely bad.
Lin Banxia watched Li Ye leave, and the lights of the black car drove out of the community and disappeared before their eyes.
"Banxia, are you okay?" Ji Leshui asked cautiously.
"It's okay." Lin Banxia said, "Go back and rest... No, I'll take you back."
Ji Leshui said hesitantly: "I'm right next to you, you don't need to send it..."
"It's fine." Lin Banxia smiled, "I just want to go next door to see." He glanced at Song Qingluo, "I'll accompany Ji Leshui."
"Go." Song Qingluo nodded.
Lin Banxia and Ji Leshui went back to the next door with Ji Leshui. The room next door was still rather rudimentary, with no furniture. Because Ji Leshui has lived here for a long time, there are many traces of life. Every corner of the room was filled with large and small black boxes. Lin Banxia walked slowly to a box, and stretched out his hand to gently rub the surface of the box.
It was the touch he remembered, soft, thin, like... human skin.
Lin Banxia remembered Li Su's words, a dull pain in his chest, and Ji Leshui's terrified and cautious voice came from his ear: "Banxia... why are you... crying."
Are you crying? Lin Banxia didn't even notice it. He stretched out his hand to wipe his face. Sure enough, he touched a wet water stain.
"It's alright." Lin Banxia said, "I accidentally lost my eyes, you go to rest, don't worry about me."
Ji Leshui was a little scared. Although he was timid, he was not a fool. There were so many strange things happening around him, which always gave people a bad feeling.
The author has something to say:
Lin Banxia: You work so hard to make money, I will shovel corpses to support you in the future
Song Qingluo: It's true, hard-earned money
Lin Banxia: Yes, they lied to you with your hard-earned money to buy Paige...
Song Qingluo: Can we not mention this
