i was my mistake

"A monster is about to appear!"

"When a monster appears, I will become an Ultraman!"

"Are you a fool, there is no Ultraman at all, it was acted, it was filmed, there is no one, it doesn't exist in reality!"

"Yes, there must be Ultraman, but there is no transformation device."

"It's okay, I can become Ultraman Jack!" The tall little boy raised his arms vigorously, "Ultraman Jack doesn't need a transforming device, swish, swish, swish—"

He even added a transformation sound effect with his mouth.

Not to mention, it's really similar.

A loud shout came from the alley: "It's raining!!"

Several closed windows were suddenly pushed open, and some women staying at home were hurrying to put away their clothes.

The strong wind in April is not cold, on the contrary, it also has a kind of carelessness that can relax all pores.

The owner of the roadside stall without an awning or even a tricycle is hurrying to close the stall. The wind blows those light plastic paper and plastic bags floating around, like a group of believers made of inorganic substances are holding a prayer ceremony. ceremony.

"Dad, is he still setting up a stall right now?" Ye Chen looked at the owners who were closing the stall, and couldn't help but think of his father.

"He has a big umbrella, just open it."

"The wind is so strong, even if you have an umbrella, it won't work. It feels like the rain will float in."

Wan Qing chuckled and jumped off the back seat of the bicycle: "Life is often just making do."

It was not far from the apartment, only two traffic lights left.

From a distance, one can already see the huge signboard radiating light in the dark city, and the big characters "Silver Sky Apartment" are particularly conspicuous.

"Clap."

Ye Chen suddenly felt a cool raindrop falling on his forehead.

Before she could react, there was a drop.

Then she heard Wan Qing yelling, 'Hurry up and hide from the rain', and ran towards the roadside stall next to it with an awning.

"Wait!" Ye Chen hurriedly pushed the car and followed, parked the car in front of the roadside stall, then scooped up the schoolbag in the car basket, and then rushed to the canopy.

Almost in the next second, heavy rain fell from the sky.

There was a sound like frying beans on the canopy. The two looked at each other, then stood inside again, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Although spring is much warmer, it is definitely not good to be drenched in the rain all of a sudden.

There are two traffic lights, and it is not realistic to run home at once.

So the two instinctively ran into the nearest place that could shelter them from the wind and rain.

Compared with ordinary small stalls, it is much larger, and even faintly gives people the illusion of a simple house.

This is a small stall converted from a large three-wheeled motorcycle. The most conspicuous thing on the car body is the stove and stove, and then there are various other kitchen supplies.

The back of the car body is surrounded by several boards, and on the top is an extended canopy. The boss is standing behind and busy. If it weren’t for the continuous rain falling behind him, this small space looks really real. like a kitchen.

There are several extended wooden boards in front, and there are several high stools. It seems that guests are going to sit and eat here.

Naturally, there is an extended part of the canopy to cover here, but if the rain is too heavy, I am afraid that the back will still be a little wet.

So the boss thoughtfully drew a curtain here to cover some of the rain that was blown wildly by the wind.

As a result, the two who came here to hide from the rain looked a little embarrassed.

"cough……"

"Little girl, would you like something to eat?" But the boss was not unhappy at all, and instead enthusiastically solicited business, "It looks like the rain will continue for a while, are you hungry? Have something to eat? "

"Boom—!!" A flash of lightning pierced the night sky, illuminating the entire city in a short moment.

Of course, I still can't see the sunset that has been covered by clouds.

Ye Chen was obviously much more embarrassed, she twitched her fingers a little uneasily, glanced awkwardly at the boss, then at Wan Qing, and then at her own toes.

"I have a lot of variety here, don't look at me as a roadside stall, here, there is a menu hanging here, you two girls can take a look." The boss continued to recommend, his face was crowded with wrinkles when he smiled Together, Ye Chen felt even more embarrassed.

"Cough...!!" Her eyes couldn't help falling on the menu, and she turned her eyes a few times, "Then, then... small wontons?"

Her voice was very soft, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

It was raining harder and harder outside.

A bowl of small wontons, the price on it is [-] cents.

"Small wontons, right?"

The boss immediately opened the drawer, gently grabbed a large handful of small wontons skillfully, sprinkled them into a large colander, and scalded them in boiling water.

"How much is a bowl?" Wan Qing wasn't embarrassed at all, and even had the time to ask if it was worth it.

"A bowl of 25 small wontons, all wrapped in lean meat, very delicious." The boss's Mandarin is not bad, but there seems to be a faint accent of H Province.

"Then I'll have a bowl too."

"Okay, sit down for a while! It will be ready soon!"

While cooking the wontons, the boss was not idle, and skillfully wrapped the wontons—after all, it was used up, so it had to be replenished.

The characteristic of small wontons is that the skin is thin and the filling is large. Through the translucent skin, you can see the pink meat inside. As it is gradually cooked by water, the meat gradually turns brown.

The boss fished out the wontons and put them into two round foam bowls covered with plastic bags, then poured some soup into them, then sprinkled chopped green onions cut with scissors, a little seaweed and dried fried dough sticks.

Two bowls of extremely simple wontons were ready, and they were handed over from the glass panel and placed in front of the two of them.

In fact, Ye Chen was not that hungry yet, but after taking a sip of the wonton soup that was inexplicably delicious despite having no seasoning, the glutton in her stomach was suddenly hooked out, as if at this moment, she suddenly Just hungry.

"Is the taste okay?" The boss asked with a smile.

"Yes, Not Bad."

"Delicious!" Ye Chen nodded vigorously.

Looking from the side, you can still see the dark sky and the thin rain lines that can only be seen clearly under the light.

The uneven ground is always prone to water accumulation, but in such a short period of time, several small puddles have appeared. Countless raindrops fell into the puddles and splashed out, smashing the water inside like Rolled up like boiling.

This is a particularly wide road, and unlike other places, there are even sidewalks here.

The roadside stalls are placed on the sidewalk and do not hinder the traffic of cars on the road.

"Shhh-"

"call out--"

Cars pass by more or less quickly, but more or less they will press the water in the puddle to splash.

"Squeak..." Ye Chen chewed and tasted two wontons slowly. Just as he was about to drink the soup, he heard the sound of brakes, followed by the sound of an air valve deflated.

"Crack!" There was the sound of the car door being slammed shut, followed by the sound of some hurried footsteps.

Someone ran into the canopy of the stall stepping on the stagnant water on the ground.

"This small stall is often set up here, even in rainy days. It tastes very good!" Ye Chen turned his head and found that it was the old man he had seen at the entrance of the small supermarket just now.

The one next to him is his assistant, or the apprentice he is leading now.

Wan Qing seemed to have seen it, but she didn't look sideways, she was still sitting on the high stool next to Ye Chen, eating wonton in silence.

The small wontons are so thin and tender that they can slide from the throat into the stomach without chewing.

"Come here, what do you want to eat today?" The boss obviously knew Old Man Tian, ​​and asked with a smile on a very familiar face.

"It's still the same!"

"Pork liver noodles and beer, right?"

"Yes!" Old Man Tian bumped into the young man beside him with a smile, and said with a cheerful smile, "Look for yourself, what do you want to eat, today's meal, master please!"

"No, no, I'll pay for it myself. Just bring me fried noodles with shredded pork."

"okay!"

The boss turned on the fire, knocked on the pot with a shovel, and quickly stir-fried.

His movements are swift, and he has a sense of rhythm in doing things.

But it also made Ye Chen, who was sitting by the stove eating wontons, feel a little hot. Fortunately, it was spring, if it was summer, there would be no way to stay here.

"Haha, did you chat with your apprentice about Tim Hee's story along the way?"

"Oh, boss, how do you know?"

"Haha, of course I know, don't you always say it, I'll remember it soon."

Old Man Tian smiled naively: "I just want to let more people know about my hometown. It's really a very good place. If I have a chance, I'll take you there."

"Okay." The boss replied casually, apparently having answered in the same way countless times.

"Li Timxi." The young man beside him shook his head and muttered, but he didn't say anything after all.

But old man Tian is acquainted, even if no one wants to chat with him, he will find someone else to chat with.

"Hey, little girl, how about eating wontons?"

"Yeah." Wan Qing looked at her bowl, still keeping her eyes fixed.

"Do you know Ritimxi? ​​It's a paradise island. It's in the sky, and there's an earthly way to go there."

"Yeah." Wan Qing swallowed the wonton in her mouth, sat up straight and looked at him, "I heard that you can teleport to Paradise Island by stepping on the reflection of Paradise Island in the water."

"Yeah, haha, it's just a legendary method, and you have to see Li Timxi." Old man Tian said with a cheerful smile, "Among the young people today, who know Li Timxi's Not much more."

"Ritim Hee."

"Yeah, it's Paradise Island."

"Well, I know that Litimxi is in the sky. There are many railways leading to various parts of Litimxi. Trains that are half the size of ordinary trains run on them, and they can stop at any time like ordinary buses."

Old man Tian suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe it.

"There is a library in Litimxi. When the books in the library are opened, the pictures can be moved. Like a movie, the text on the book can be adjusted in size freely. Even people with presbyopia can see clearly .”

"Yes!!" Old Man Tian was extremely excited immediately, "You, you also came from Litimxi?"

……

58. The island in the sky

"No."

Wan Qing's answer obviously disappointed him.

But old man Tian soon cheered up again: "Then someone beside you is...?"

"Just listen to what other people say."

"Oh, oh...but this shows that I'm not alone, there are many Litimxi people living on the ground!" Old Man Tian said excitedly, "That's great...I'm not alone."

"Maybe you've seen it everywhere, but some people may hide it from you." The boss joked with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Old man Tian thought deeply, "After all, everyone has different personalities, and they may be afraid of other troubles coming to them, but I am not afraid, I have never hidden myself, and I will always meet fellow villagers. ha!"

The young man next to Old Man Tian who was waiting for his share of fried noodles was a little confused: "Is there really something called Litim Xi..."

"Of course it's true, Litimxi is in the sky!" Old man Tian nodded vigorously, as if he had found a confidant, he looked at Wan Qing, "Then little girl, what else do you know about Litimxi?" Hee's business?"

"When Litimxi arrives in the evening, someone will play the harmonica, urging everyone to stop what they are doing and go home quickly."

"Correct!"

Ye Chen clearly saw a gentle smile flashing across Wan Qing's face, and then heard her talking about Li Timxi.

Although it has been a long time, she still remembers a lot about Ritim Hee.

Old man Tian made supplements at the side, as if two people were recalling the beauty of their hometown together.

"Yes, yes, Litimxi also has such roadside stalls, which are usually set up on the edge of the farmland. If you don't want to go back to cook at night, you can eat by the roadside, and sometimes you will see railway turnouts parked by the roadside. The train at the entrance does not carry passengers, but various commodities, just like the current hypermarkets. When you walk in, the carriages are full of shelves. On the shelves are all kinds of things, such as radios, tape machines, and even The TVs are all sold there... There is no currency in Litimxi, we only use points——accumulated by doing daily work.”

Old man Tian fell into his memories again, with a look of nostalgia, and kept talking about all kinds of trifles on Litimxi, which is called Sky Island or Paradise Island by the people on the ground.

As if he really lived there.
