Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 199
Until the end of the evening self-study class, Mu Zhen still didn't see Hu Guoqing's figure, feeling lost, she closed the open textbook helplessly, thinking about where to spend this difficult night, if she didn't go back to Hu Guoqing's house, could she I slept casually with my classmates for a night at school, and I was worried that Hu Guoqing would be waiting for me at home. If I chose to go back, I would have to go through the road that had just left a deep trauma in my heart.

When Mu Zhen was hesitating, the classmate who walked out of the classroom first shouted: "It's snowing!"

Mu Zhen's first thought is whether his father is home?Leaving the seat quickly, rushing outside the classroom, snowflakes are wrapped in the wind, dancing wildly in the lights in the classroom, the snow on the ground has already dyed the ground white, there are a few naughty students, playing in the wind and snow, chatting with each other With the snowball fight, there is no darkness between the sky and the earth before class, the reflection of the snow on the ground, the sky and the earth are gray, much brighter than before.Faced with the bad weather, Mu Zhen silently counted the time when her father left school, even if she was walking, she should arrive home, let alone riding a bicycle!

Mu Zhen thought of Hu Guoqing again. How could Hu Guoqing who was sitting at home not be like herself, worried about whether he could go back?How to go back?Mu Zhen's heart has already flown to Hu Guoqing's place. In order not to make him worry about herself, Mu Zhen has no mood to stay for the night. She resolutely decides to go home to see Hu Guoqing and tell him what she was thinking about tonight.

Turning around the corridor of the classroom, the snowflakes rolled up by the north wind hit Mu Zhen’s eyes, which made Mu Zhen feel like cooling oil applied in summer. , although the snow in front of the classroom has piled up enough to leave deep footprints, but due to the strong wind, the road without shelter is like a different scene, and there are no lingering snowflakes at all.Mu Zhen couldn't help speeding up her pace, from walking to trotting, and finally ran towards Hu Guoqing's house at almost a sprint speed of [-] meters, not because she was afraid of walking at night, but because of the eagerness that urged him. The conversion speed is like the gears of the machine running, getting faster and faster.

When Mu Zhen stood panting at the gate of Hu Guoqing's house, a sense of loss suddenly came to her heart. The door was locked and Hu Guoqing was not at home. Mu Zhen took out her seldom-used key and quickly He opened the gate and bolted it from the inside with his backhand. Except for the thick snowflakes, everything in the courtyard was no different from usual, the only thing that was different was Mu Zhen's desolate mood.

The snowflakes on the ground are very smooth, as flat as a road that has been flattened by a steamroller. In the night, it seems to be covered with a white carpet. With the light reflected in the snowy night, there is no trace of stepping on it. Mu Zhen leans carefully. Stepping over the wall, I am afraid that I will destroy the exquisite workmanship of nature, and then I opened the door directly, and the room was quiet. Although the two of them usually did not talk much after returning home, but this time it added an unusual feeling. the emptiness.

Mu Zhen turned on the light and went to the desk to search for the clues left by Hu Guoqing. Not only was she puzzled: "Why didn't he even leave a message? Could it be that he didn't go home at all?"

Mu Zhen carefully calculated that there had been at least six or seven hours since he left school on the afternoon of the National Day. During this period, even if he went to the Public Security Bureau, he should be back now. Why didn't he even go home?Mu Zhen first thought of going to Erdan's house, but she couldn't even find the door of Erdan's house, so how could she go?During the days of living here, apart from resting here at night, the rest of the time is at school. In addition, Mu Zhen has a personality that does not like to visit relatives since she was a child. He is not even familiar with the neighbors of Hu Guoqing's family, let alone know Erdan's family, if this incident hadn't happened, Mu Zhen would never have known Hu Guoqing's second uncle, so where would he find Erdan's family at this time?

Mu Zhen stared at the desk lamp in a daze for a while. She wanted to sit and wait for Hu Guoqing to come back, but fatigue haunted her nerves after a day of trouble. If Hu Guoqing sat under the lamp to read at night, Mu Zhen would take off her clothes early Going to bed and falling asleep, perhaps because of her living habits, Mu Zhen yawned long, stood up expressionlessly, went to the gate, and tried to open the latch, but she was afraid that bad people would come in or hide in this snowy night. It's a small thing to be surprised by cold animals breaking in. If any accident happens again, it will make things worse.Mu Zhen withdrew her hand from the door bolt, and then went back into the room and sat on the edge of the bed.

Mu Zhen waited for a while, but she still didn't hear anyone's movement except the howling wind outside the house. Mu Zhen really couldn't bear it any longer. She took off her shoes and went to bed, lay down with her clothes on, and soon fell asleep.

Mu Zhen stepped into a world full of chaos, a very strange world, no trees, no flowers, no signs of life, Mu Zhen was very strange, how could she be here?He walked aimlessly on the snow, the frozen snow was knee-deep, and every step was a bit difficult, when he suddenly saw a black shadow in the distance, and the part of the black shadow protruding from the snow was obviously a The person is lowering his head, thinking that his lower body is kneeling in the snow.The black shadow made the snow stand out very brightly, and Mu Zhen couldn't help being startled, she woke up suddenly, Mu Zhen touched her forehead, she was a little sweaty!
When she was a child, Mu Zhen once heard from her elders that when waking up from a dream, she should remain still so that she could recall the scene of the dream, so she put the hand touching her forehead on her forehead, and lay quietly to recall the dream just now. This dream is indeed a bit strange. , wind and snow, black shadows, kneeling, Mu Zhen felt really pitiful, kneeling alone in the snow, what does it indicate?What is the metaphor?
"Think about it every day, dream about it at night."Mu Zhen believes in this truth, but what must be implied in the dream here?At this time, Mu Zhen quietly thought about the dream she had read about a person staying in a hotel. It is said that it was a true story. A traveler had a strange dream while staying in a hotel in the country. When I stood at the window of the hotel room and looked down, I happened to see a carriage passing by under the window. The person in the carriage waved to him and shouted: "Come up quickly, you are the only one missing!" He didn't answer, and wondered why such a stranger called him. When he looked carefully at the carriage going away, he suddenly noticed that the carriage turned out to be a hearse. When he returned to the city and took the elevator, something similar to that happened. As for the dream, many people were crowded in the elevator. When he was hesitating at the elevator entrance, a sentence came from the elevator: "Come up quickly, you are the only one missing!" This person immediately thought of the sentence he heard in the hotel dream Then he waved his hand and refused to get on the elevator. The screams from the elevator in the next few seconds made the man like a frightened lamb. Thinking of the dream, he broke out in a cold sweat. None of the people in the elevator survived, but that person saved his life by relying on this dream.

"Snowstorm, shadow, kneeling down".Mu Zhen recalled the scene in the dream again, as if in a movie, the wind and snow is the current wind and snow, and the black shadow is...?
Mu Zhen was startled and almost cried out, "Hu Guoqing!"
