The girl whose feeling resonates strangely with Da Wutong is named Chen Zhiming. She is 24 years old and works as a clerk in a unit in a mountain city. She has lived an ordinary life until now.
I was born in an ordinary family, went to an ordinary school, found an ordinary job, and fell in love with an ordinary person. I can’t say I am rich or have many difficulties in my life. My family has no disasters and no diseases.
Good health and almost no troubles in life.
This trip was because I broke up with my long-distance boyfriend in Fubei, but the annual leave I had saved to spend time with my boyfriend hadn’t been used up yet. It was almost New Year’s Eve, so
So I went all the way south from the desolate land of Chushui in Bashan to the land of Lingnan where I saw flowers and sailed away from the sea, and avoided the snow to Luofu.
On her first day here, this city gave her a big surprise.
That night, Ms. Chen Zhiming couldn't sleep while sitting in the hotel. At 1:30 in the morning, she suddenly sat up from the bed, got dressed and went downstairs. She couldn't describe the feeling, as if she had been inspired.
There is an indescribable voice calling me in my heart.
She hurriedly got into the car. After getting on the bus, she heard that she was going to Chang'an Lane. The driver started chatting with her, saying that this place was a blessed land in Yangcheng. Back then, a rich man named Li from Hong Kong wanted to give this land to
They failed to acquire it. Later, many people tried to acquire this treasure land one after another, but no one was able to successfully acquire it.
He also said that Chang'an Alley is a particularly magical place. Whether it's a person possessed by evil spirits, a dirty person, or someone with bad luck, even if he's no one outside, as long as he can successfully enter Chang'an Alley
Even if everything goes well in the big archway, that place gradually becomes a treasured place for people here. Everyone likes to go there and buy things when they have nothing to do.
The driver also said that the food in the small restaurant there is very good, and all the gourmets in Yangcheng will go there for a meal. However, the queue sometimes takes a long time and many precious items are in limited supply.
However, Chen Zhiming didn't listen to these words. She just wanted to get there as quickly as possible, and was very anxious in her heart.
After the car arrived, she quickly got out of the car and walked in along the gray alley entrance of Chang'an Lane. This is strange, because she would not dare to enter such a deep alley in other places, but when she came in
After this place, it seemed that all my anxieties and fears were gone, and my mood was like the kind of cheerful feeling you get after a heavy rain clears the clouds and sees the blue sky.
It's just that it's too late at this point. Chang'an Alley is very quiet. Only a few old fritters are sitting in the open space playing poker. When they see strangers entering, they don't look too much. They just take aim at two people.
They immediately continued to focus on their poker.
When Chen Zhiming arrived under the big locust tree, apart from the street lights, there were only two shops with lights on in the entire Chang'an Lane. One was a small restaurant. It didn't look grand from the outside, but the light from inside was quite impressive.
You can find that there are quite a lot of people here. There is also a cafe, which is relatively quiet in business, but it is relatively quiet.
Chen Zhiming stood there for a while, then turned around and walked under the big sycamore tree, looking up at the lush tree that he had seen during the day. At this moment, the moonlight happened to shine through the gaps in the leaves, and the wind blew gently.
Become like twinkling stars all over the sky.
She stood alone under the tree for a long, long time. Even she herself didn't realize how long she stood. She just felt that she had entered a magical place, and her whole body seemed to be wrapped by a warm spring breeze.
a feeling of.
"What does that person do?"
The small restaurant is about to be closed. Coral Moon is on leave for the past few days, so only Luna Xiaohei is helping inside. She just finished cleaning and walked to Xu Wei who was settling accounts: "I've been standing there for two or three hours.
, it’s so scary.”
Xu Wei looked up at her inexplicably: "Are you a high-ranking god?"
"But she's really scary."
Hearing what she said, Xu Wei walked from the counter to the door, stood there and took a look, and sure enough, she saw someone standing under the big sycamore tree with his mouth open and looking up. His expression really looked like he was possessed by a ghost.
It's the same, it's a bit scary.
Xu Wei let out an ouch. She quickly took off her apron and hung it aside and ran towards Chen Zhiming. However, no matter how much she shook her and called her, she seemed to have no reaction. She looked up in a daze and looked a bit scary.
.
"This doesn't work, take it away first."
Just like that, Xu Wei and Luna Goddess Xiao Heisheng dragged her to a small restaurant. They pinched her and applied cooling oil on her, but there was obviously no improvement.
"What should I do? How about calling an ambulance?"
Luna Goddess Xiaohei said nervously: "It would be very troublesome if I died in the store."
"No, no, no." Xu Wei rubbed her hands, and a cluster of electric lights gathered on her fingertips: "I'll shock her."
After saying that, she poked the person's chest with one finger. The instant stimulation of high voltage and low current made Chen Zhiming tremble all over. Then he quickly came to his senses and took a big breath. At this time, her
His eyes finally calmed down.
At this moment, she felt that her whole body was about to be frozen. Although it was not too cold in the south, it was winter after all and it was late at night. The temperature outside was only about ten degrees, and when she came out of the hotel, it was only
Wearing a single coat and standing outside like this for several hours, I was almost freezing.
Seeing her shivering, Xu Wei quickly made her cola and ginger soup. After drinking a bowl of hot soup, she finally came back to her senses.
"Get her a blanket."
After Xiao Hei brought her a blanket, Chen Zhiming finally came to life. She looked up at Xu Wei and smiled: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Xu Wei smiled and said, "Why are you standing here alone in the middle of the night? Your accent doesn't sound like a local."
"Well, I'm from Shancheng." Chen Zhiming held ginger tea in both hands: "I don't know why, after seeing that tree during the day, I always thought about it at night, and then it came over inexplicably, and what happened next
I don’t know.”
Xu Wei and Moon God Xiao Hei looked at each other, then Xu Wei frowned and said, "It's strange, Da Wutong usually doesn't do such boring things."
"Who knows." Moon God Xiao Hei shook his head and said, "Anyway, she almost froze to death."
Chen Zhiming sat there for a while, then stood up politely and thanked him again: "Actually, I don't have any problems anymore. Thank you."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Xu Wei went to the back and got her a sweatshirt of her own: "Let's wear it temporarily on the road. It's still a bit cold at night."
"Thank you very much...I'll come back tomorrow to return your clothes."
Just like that, Chen Zhiming left, but a big question mark lingered in Xu Wei's mind, but now it was difficult to find anyone to confirm this more revealing matter.
So when she got up the next day, she found the old man in the alley.
"No." The old man also looked surprised: "I can't help but charm a little girl. You look down on me too much, old man."
"Then what happened to her? If we hadn't watched, she would have froze to death or become ill last night."
The old man unscrewed the tea cup and took a sip of iced Coke. He squinted at Xu Wei for a long time and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because of my conflict."
"Okay, I get it. Sure enough, I can't tell you anything if I ask you."
Xu Wei was about to leave, but the old man stretched out his hand to stop her: "Please chat with me some more. After Nian Nian left, old man, I am lonely here."
"What are we talking about with you? You won't say anything."
"Say it, I'll just say it."
The old man coughed, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Xu Wei saw it and snatched it away from him: "Brother Zhang said, you are not allowed to smoke. Last time, I almost burned all the leaves on myself."
"Okay, okay, no smoking, no smoking. He went out to have a good time, leaving a little thing like you to stare at me, ugh..."
After sighing for a while, he crossed his legs and took a sip of Coke from the thermos cup: "I have never encountered the situation of the little girl yesterday, but I think it may be fate. She has a fate with this place.
, or maybe he was this person in his previous life."
"That's it?"
"That's it. I'm just a tree, and I'm not an academic. Go ask that pig of yours."
Xu Wei smacked her lips and felt that it was indeed the case...
"No smoking allowed."
After the explanation, Xu Wei went back, and the old man turned up the radio volume leisurely on his chair, then took out the cigarette case and took a look and found that there was no cigarette, so he pointed at the cigarette not far away.
Child: "Little bastard, go get me a pack of cigarettes, just say I asked you to get them."
Don't look at the old man like this. He doesn't spend money on anything he does in Chang'an Lane. Not to mention getting cigarettes from the canteen, even going to Brother Zhang to drink Maotai doesn't cost money. After all, he is the patron saint and didn't ask them to offer sacrifices.
The quality is already very good.
When Xu Wei returned to the store and was about to call Shan Dawang, there was a person at the door peeking in. Xu Wei took a closer look and saw that it was the same Chen Zhiming from last night. She was standing at the door with a smile on her face, her back behind her.
He was carrying a travel bag and a folded piece of clothing on his hand.
"come on in."
Xu Wei let her in. After she returned the clothes, she sat on a high stool and asked, "It's not open yet? Is there anything to eat?"
"Let me see." Xu Wei opened the refrigerator and took a look: "Well, the braised pork is only available in the evening, but there are other things. What do you want? The menu is on the table."
"Hmm...Chang'an Braised Pork Rice, and some roasted corn. Let's add another drink, milk tea."
Xu Wei started to prepare the food. The food was all delicious. A big pot of braised pork was simmering there. It had been prepared last night, but the rice had to be cooked fresh. And the reason why the food in the small restaurant is delicious is because of this place.
It is one of the few people who still use wooden steamers to steam rice. This process is very complicated. First soak the rice for four or five hours. This can be prepared in advance. Then pour the rice into the rice bucket and heat it up.
Heat the rice thoroughly, then return it to the soup basin and soak it with boiling water, then pour it back into the bucket to steam, so that the rice that comes out will be clear and plump, and full of fragrance.
This process takes at least an hour, so while waiting for the meal, the two girls, who are about the same age, naturally started chatting.
"Judging from your accent, you're from the north, right?"
"Yeah." Xu Wei nodded and said, "I was deceived by an online dating partner when I was about your age."
After she finished speaking, she smiled, thinking about how naive she was back then, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Then you settled here?"
"Well, my grandma passed away, so I settled here." Xu Wei said with a smile while shaking her milk tea: "I originally worked here, but then the boss ran away, and I became the second boss."
"That's great..." Chen Zhiming leaned in front of the stage and sighed: "I have a flight home this afternoon."
"Be careful on the road."
Chen Zhiming was silent for a while, then looked up at Xu Wei: "But since I came here last night, no matter where I am or what I am doing, I feel uneasy. Strangely enough, as soon as I stepped here
I feel much more comfortable.”
Xu Wei replied while working: "Maybe you were the same person in your previous life. Are you a person with abilities?"
Nowadays, when strangers get to know each other, it is inevitable to ask this question, and Chen Zhiming also laughed after hearing it: "No, I don't have any special abilities. But my friends all say that I must be."
"Huh? How to say."
Xu Wei raised her head and started to clear the stove: "Is there any explanation for this?"
Chen Zhiming thought for a while: "Just... I can't tell you, but I, my parents, my grandparents, my great-grandfather, my great-aunts, my uncles, my aunts, my uncles, etc... are all still alive, does it count?"
"
"This...may not count."
"Yeah, I just said it doesn't count." Chen Zhiming said with a smile: "My friend said that I have special abilities. He said that as long as he is within a hundred meters of me, no one will die. Except for those who die of old age. I also
I think they are talking nonsense.”
Xu Wei suddenly raised his head: "Huh? What?"
"They are talking nonsense. It must be impossible. That is too outrageous." Chen Zhiming held his chin and thought thoughtfully: "Actually, there have been very strange things. One time I encountered a car spontaneously igniting on the highway. The car
It exploded all of a sudden, but the four people in the car were not hurt at all. Another time, someone jumped from the building above my house. He jumped from the 21st floor, and a large truck carrying foam sponge happened to drive up below.
, he landed right in the middle, as if his skin wasn’t even scratched.”
Xu Wei squinted her eyes and looked at the nagging Chen Zhiming, her expression obviously becoming a little strange.
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, when I was in elementary school, I went swimming with my classmates in a small river like that. Then suddenly there was a flood upstream. It was said that a barrier lake in the mountains collapsed. More than a dozen of us were washed away, but there was no
One person was injured, but they were washed ashore less than fifty meters below." Chen Zhiming laughed when he said: "It seems that no one around me has had any accidents."
"If this isn't a superpower... then I really don't know what a superpower is." Xu Wei said with a face full of astonishment, and then suddenly took out the knife next to her and stabbed her hand. It was so sudden, there was no such thing as a superpower.
Any kind of forewarning.
But it was too late, and just when she was about to stab herself, the knife actually hovered, and Miss Jin walked in outside the door, looking at her with a strange expression: "What are you doing? Why are you hurting yourself? Give it to me.
Here are four servings of braised pork rice, take them away."
Xu Wei turned back to look at Chen Zhiming, with astonishment on her expression: "Sister Jin, sister Jin, she...she is so powerful!"
