Chapter 811

After about half an hour, the scenery outside the window changed from city to wilderness.The very rhythmic bang and bang of the train, accompanied by the large wilderness quickly swept behind, the boring scene made people feel sleepy very quickly.

Zhou Yu, who was sitting in front of the window, resisted the drowsiness while pondering a few questions in his mind.

Before going out tonight, he never had the idea of ​​leaving Migenzhu City.Even if it was summer vacation or winter vacation, Zhou Yu never once mentioned in her diary that she misses her hometown and plans to go back to her hometown for vacation.He once thought it was because Zhou Yu had nothing to miss in his hometown, but now that he thought about it carefully, he found that he didn't even know the exact location of Migenzhu City.

Yes, this is a "domestic" city, but is it in the West, Central or East?Is it the South or the North?Where does it belong in the administrative division?He didn't know the answer to these basic cognitions that he should have as a matter of course, and he never thought of asking about it before, as if the corners of his mind about this matter were covered with a layer of black cloth.It wasn't until I got on the train and witnessed the scene outside the city with my own eyes that these thoughts gradually emerged from the chaos.

"Do you need some water?" Li Li, who was sitting opposite her, asked.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty."

"I just hope you don't fall asleep at this hour."

"Aren't you and Zhou Yu friends? There's nothing wrong with seeing her, right?"

Zhou Yu asked this question almost deliberately.In this regard, Li Li just folded his arms and said, "I'm not worried about this, sir. Regarding your little personality problem, you only need a bottle of spray to solve it. I carry it with me."

"Wait, did you take this thing through security?"

As an answer, Li Li put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat, and really took out a glass spray container like a perfume bottle.

"As I said earlier, the security check in this city is just a show. However, I don't recommend you take any extreme actions at the airport, subway station or other public places. Even if you blow up the entire street in a deserted place, There will never be any legal punishment. It may be restored the next day, or it may become another complex. But if you are witnessed by the public, you will have nowhere to go."

"How did you know that?"

"Two years ago I witnessed an open lord rebellion. It was rare, but not unprecedented. Maybe it was to expand the territory, maybe to prove his ability - although neither of them was of practical benefit - in the end it was met with Suppression by the local street police station.”

"You mean, a lord like Osir?"

"Maybe not that special, but qualitatively, yes."

"He was subdued by the police?"

"I'm afraid he's still in prison for assaulting a police officer, sir," said Lee Lee. "You see, this is the way it is in this city. You can make trouble, except for two things: offending the guards and evading taxes." Do not pay."

Zhou Yu really wanted to ask Li Li how he got the next experience, but before he could speak, the old man at the other end of the carriage walked over unsteadily.

Wearing an old white vest, the old man paced around in the carriage, looking like he was walking in a park.When he came near the two of them, he greeted them very naturally.

Out of politeness, Zhou Yu also supported the bed rail and got up to answer.The old man waved his hand and said, "You sit down, you sit down. Don't be polite to my old man, Xiaonan."

Zhou Yu sat back and cast a questioning look at Li Li.He didn't know the nature of the old man who boarded the train, and he couldn't be sure whether he should continue talking with him.

Li Li, who was sitting opposite, didn't seem to be too vigilant. She smiled and invited the old man to sit down and talk.The two first talked about the weather, food, and then the purpose of their respective trips.The old man claimed that he had just recovered from illness and wanted to visit his children in other places.

"The days ahead are numbered," he said slowly, "If I don't go again, I won't be able to walk anymore."

"Where is it, you look young."

Hearing Li Li's answer, Zhou Yu couldn't help but glance at her.He was surprised to find that when Li Li talked to the old man, her demeanor, body language, and even the tone of her speech changed.Now she is smiling like a graduate who just finished the college entrance examination.

The old man talked a lot about sex, and he didn't seem to plan to leave immediately, but instead talked to Li Li about his life when he was young.Because he is not very good at communicating with the elderly, Zhou Yu had to listen quietly by the side.

Although he took this strange train, there was nothing strange in the old man's words.Like most of the old widows and lonely people in the world, he used nagging and boring words to repeatedly recall his life working in the steel factory.There are indeed some interesting episodes, but most of the time they are just trivial things and gossip.

At first Zhou Yu kept listening politely as much as possible, but after a few minutes she became distracted uncontrollably.In order not to make the old man suspicious, he kept pressing his gloved right hand on the mattress behind him.Maintaining this position made his wrist uncomfortable, so he moved his joints quietly while observing the scenery outside the side window from the corner of his eye.

At some point, a continuous mountain view appeared outside the window.It's not a peak and abyss, but a rather delicate hill.The moon crossed the top of the mountain and sprinkled its clear light on the world, so there was a rough silver edge on the ridgeline.

Watching this scene, Zhou Yu had a strong sense of déjà vu.He obviously felt that he should be more familiar with the city, but knew little about the country's customs. Only when he saw this moonlit night mountain scene, a name was on his lips.

Mountain.moon.Silver thread.Flying double butterflies.

The phantasm that emerged in my mind could not match any part of my memory. It was probably a dream image left in my memory unintentionally.

In a trance, lights appeared faintly in the distant mountain depression.

It is not a firefly or a village, but the neat arrangement of comb teeth like fish scales is undoubtedly a modern city.

"We're almost there."

From time to time, Li Li, who seemed to be chatting happily with the old man, suddenly said, "Uncle, do you want to get off here too?"

The old man smiled and shook his head: "No, no. I'm going to-"

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"Sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now." Li Li said, "Where is Uncle going?"

"I went to..."

The old man's mouth opened and closed silently like a pantomime performance, just looking at his expression, it seemed that he was really announcing the name of a certain place loudly.

"The place is so far away! I can't get it by sitting for a day and a night. The eldest daughter lives in..., the second daughter also lives in..., and the son goes to... to work."

Like a badly connected earphone, he made intermittent sound.The joyful expression on his face caused the two listening people to remain silent.

Finally, Li Li said: "I have also traveled there, it is a good place."

The old man laughed.His wrinkles stretched, the corners of his mouth stretched to the sides, and then he froze in place motionless.It's not a deliberate tense body, but really, as if the character on the screen has been pressed the pause button, the old man always stays at the moment of laughing.

Realizing that the situation was abnormal, Zhou Yu instinctively stretched out his hand and put it under the old man's nose.There is no breathing there.

The old man smiled solidly, without showing any pain of suffocation.In order to verify his comprehensiveness, Zhou Yu checked his pulse and heartbeat again.

"...Li Li, what's going on?"

He looked at his traveling companion who had been sitting quietly in his place since just now.There was a calmness on her face that had already foreseen this scene.

"He's not dead, if you want to ask that," she said, "but that won't make much difference. Listen now, sir, we're crossing the river."
