The young man Yu Yuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He turned away his eyes and said, "Before we go out to play, let me find some clothes for you to wear... There are many people outside, so you can't be naked."
Wait, you can't be naked?
Is she naked?
Ah, it is indeed a dream. Only in dreams do you often lower your head and find that you have nothing to wear. Sometimes the sense of shame is so strong that it makes people want to hide, but sometimes they can swagger and enter the house.
I am now 80% in the second situation...
Eh?
Lin Sanjiu looked down at her well-dressed vest and field pants, a little stunned. Aren't her clothes quite complete?
"Don't worry, I didn't see anything."
The young man Yu Yuan had already turned around and opened the closet door - they seemed to have been outdoors in the sunshine just now. As soon as Lin Sanjiu said that he wanted to find clothes for her, Lin Sanjiu immediately found herself standing in Yu Yuan's bedroom, looking at
He took out a jacket and a pair of shorts from the closet.
It is indeed unlikely to see anything, Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
"I hope you don't find it ugly," he handed the clothes over and said, "Our town in Montenegro has been very nervous about fabrics recently, and I don't have any more clothes for you to choose from."
The edges of the sleeves of the jacket were worn white; the shorts were too big and the ties were pulled loose. Obviously, Yu Yuan was not the first owner of these two pieces of clothing.
Just wear it... Lin Sanjiu put on her coat with confusion and confusion.
It's okay to add a jacket, but it's a bit laborious to put the shorts on over the field pants. However, Yu Yuan didn't seem to realize it at all. In front of her weird outfit, he smiled and said: "Okay, then we can go out for a walk."
Already."
Always remember... Black Mountain Town is not a good place?
Lin Sanjiu vaguely felt as if she had been to a place called "Black Mountain Town", but she could not recall the details. It was like she was trying to recall a dream... She only remembered that she finally escaped from the control of Black Mountain with great difficulty.
Ran out.
But saying this would be too rude to Yu Yuan.
Besides, Yu Yuan would not harm her.
The sun was warm and bright, and the cracks on the brick-red sidewalk were clearly exposed. The dust was scattered in the dry air, and green mangoes had just grown on the trees on the roadside; the green mangoes were only hanging on the upper half of the tree, and the hands of
As far as the tree could reach, the branches were empty and there was not a single fruit.
"Heishan Town is not very big," Yu Yuan explained, "but it is quite beautiful, isn't it? The buildings are quite old, and I think the architectural style of the past is very beautiful..."
Maybe, Lin Sanjiu thought, if she could see the original appearance of the building.
Almost every exterior wall was mottled and peeling, and the water stains turned the walls dark; the weather was good in the afternoon, and many people opened their doors for ventilation. From every deep and dark doorway she passed, a strong and dark smell floated out.
The turbid smell of boiled cabbage.
She saw a house in the distance. It seemed that the roof tiles were broken, so it was covered with a black thing. Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to take a step closer to see what the black thing was, her arm was suddenly covered by the remaining tiles.
Yuan tugged and heard him shout: "Be careful!"
Lin Sanjiu lowered his head and found that on the sidewalk in front of him, a dark round mouth opened at some point - the sewer manhole cover was missing.
She squinted at the roof of the house, then at the sewer, and finally at Yu Yuan.
"Ahem," Yu Yuan felt embarrassed again and touched the back of his neck. "There is really no way, I can't find the repair materials... We can't let their family be exposed to the sun and rain. In the town.
Everyone knows that this sewer has no cover, so there is no danger."
Black Mountain Town seems to be in a very depressed economy...
Lin Sanjiu nodded, walked around the sewer, and asked as he walked: "By the way, where is Montenegro?"
Yu Yuan was startled. "Ah? What Black Mountain?"
His reaction made Lin Sanjiu stunned.
She vaguely remembered that every time she went to Heishan Town before, there was a "Black Mountain"; but the tallest things in the town were only a few four or five-story buildings - let alone Black Mountain. She remembered seeing it when she came here.
There is only a desolate land and scattered woods on the edge, not even a mound.
"Heishan is in the name," Yu Yuan laughed and said, "I don't know why it's called Heishan Town. The town obviously doesn't rely on mountains."
"Why doesn't there seem to be anyone?" Lin Sanjiu looked around and asked.
"You came by chance. There is a used goods market today. You can exchange items or buy some second-hand things. It is very lively... I guess people are gathering in the town square now." Yu Yuan raised his hand and gave Lin San
Jiu looked at an extra plastic bag that had appeared at some point and said, "Shall we go take a look too?"
"Okay," Lin Sanjiu also became interested, "I happen to have a lot of unused things in my card library."
Yu Yuan was right; compared with the desolate and peaceful town, the town square was simply a completely different place.
Before I could get closer, the chatter and shouts were carried by the wind. The square was full of shadows and people coming and going. Some people set up a stall with wooden planks, some people spread a cloth on the ground, and some people
The clothes drying rack at home was pushed out, and there were many small things hanging on it. As soon as Lin Sanjiu walked into the square, he saw several people greeting Yu Yuan very cordially: "You are here! Is this your friend?"
"
"He's from outside the town," Yu Yuan introduced with a smile.
A few words immediately caused an earthquake sensation. The news spread like wildfire. Several children ran out from behind the stall and surrounded Lin Sanjiu from a distance as if they were animals. Yu Yuan waved his hands and couldn't drive them away;
Several women whispered to each other for a while, and then a kind-faced man was sent out to touch Lin Sanjiu's skin - "Hey," the middle-aged woman retracted her hand at the touch, "Why is it so smooth? It's so good, as if it's been wiped.
…It looks like it’s been greased!”
Is it smooth? She has gone through many hardships.
"Don't look at them like this...but they are not bad people," Yu Yuan explained in a low voice, "It's just that there are very few outsiders in Black Mountain Town and they are just curious about you."
"Is Heishan Town very remote?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
"You came all the way, you should know it best," Yu Yuan glanced at her.
……Right.
However, Lin Sanjiu couldn't remember exactly how she came to Heishan Town; however, its geographical location must not be very good - even communication with the outside world was almost extinct. No wonder the economy was depressed.
Unlike her vague worries, the townspeople were quite enthusiastic.
Everyone in the town seemed to know Yu Yuan, there were always people saying hello to him, patting him on the shoulder, and giving him water to drink; even Lin Sanjiu was touched, when Yu Yuan was pulled by several townspeople to discuss things
When she was walking, she wandered a few steps and met a stall owner who wanted to give her something.
"Yu Yuan's friends are my friends," the female stall owner waved her hand generously and said, "Just tell me what you like!"
Lin Sanjiu felt embarrassed - she really couldn't say anything, almost everything on the stall was in tatters.
An enamel basin with broken skin everywhere attracted several questions; a bag of chicken manure, Lin Sanjiu had stood as far away from it as possible; a few unmatched, scratched glass cups and bowls, and a pair of wipers
They must be clean plastic slippers with thin soles.
"Why is Yu Yuan so proud?" Lin Sanjiu tied her hands, took nothing, and changed the subject with a smile.
"He saved my daughter," said the stall owner, although the smile on his face was still there, but there was already a lingering fear in his heart. "The situation was particularly dangerous at that time! None of us expected that such a small hole suddenly opened in the ground.
It seemed as if children were specially selected to attack. Even the adults nearby didn’t notice, but my daughter happened to fall in... If Yu Yuan hadn’t been quick and quick, he rushed through the crowd and pulled her out——"
When she said this, she had to slow down before continuing: "I don't have a daughter today."
"As expected of Yu Yuan." Lin Sanjiu took a breath, "Did the ground collapse? It was repaired later, right?"
The female stall owner glanced at her, looking a little weird.
"Don't you have something you like? You can't be polite to me."
You're really not being polite... After Lin Sanjiu walked around for a while, he discovered that the female stall owner was not the only one who had put up a mess.
Although the used goods market is bustling with people and high interest, the lack of supplies in Heishan Town means that there will be no good things in the market - no matter how ordinary, no matter how trivial, no matter how worthless, the lifespan of utensils has been extended.
It has reached its limit; as long as it doesn't fall apart after being carried, someone will always need it.
Although Yu Yuan is young, he is very trusted and respected. He is always stopped by people to ask questions. Lin Sanjiu is like a kite that he has lost, walking around in the market, the more he sees
, the more she felt unbearable - when she walked to a stall, she suddenly couldn't walk.
"Bohemia?" Lin Sanjiu suddenly squatted down, startling the girl who was at most five or six years old.
"How do you know my name?" the little girl asked with a straight face.
Really? Bohemia is also in Montenegro Town?
"Where are your parents?" When Lin Sanjiu asked, she vaguely remembered that Bohemia seemed to have no parents.
"Who are you?" Bohemian raised his eyebrows, as if keeping the same expression all year round, his face always looked like he was ready to bite someone at any time. "Don't ask questions, do you want to buy or exchange?"
Lin Sanjiu looked down at the things on her stall, raised her head, and took a deep breath.
"I'll give you whatever you need." She could hardly suppress the urge to cry. "I don't want these things, and you don't want them either. Do you want something to eat?"
Bohemia's eyes suddenly lit up, and even her facial muscles softened a bit.
"I'll get you all this buttered bread," Lin Sanjiu said while uncarding the food. "You're skinny and lack nutrition. You can't just eat this..."
However, Bohemia watched her put things on the ground one by one, but did not come to pick them up. She waited motionless for a while, and confusion gradually appeared on her face.
"Didn't you say you wanted to give me something to eat?" she asked, "Where's the food?"
Lin Sanjiu, who was looking for a place to make a big bag of shrimp cakes, was stunned when he heard this.
"Yu Yuan," Bohemia raised her head and called after Lin Sanjiu, "Is this person your friend? Is she... um, is she not very smart? She said she wanted to give me food, but
She's been here gesticulating in the air for a long time."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't react for a moment, so she turned around blankly and met Yu Yuan's eyes, who had just caught up.
"What are you doing?" Yu Yuan also squatted down, touched the top of Bohemia's head, and asked Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu looked at the small mountain of food in front of her and opened her mouth, feeling a little stupid.
"Stop teasing her," Yu Yuan whispered, a bit complaining, "It's already difficult for her to live alone."
Can't they see? Can't she bring things into her dreams? But these foods... weren't they also what she dreamed about?
Seeing that Bohemia's face was getting worse and worse, Yu Yuan sighed. "How about you come to my house for dinner tonight?"
Bohemia couldn't hold back her joy and her little face lit up - when the two stood up, Yu Yuan whispered: "This child is very good at eating. We may not have enough to eat tonight."
"Um...can't you see what's on the ground?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
"What did she sell? I know, they are all useless garbage." Yu Yuan sighed again and said, "She grew up relying on the support of the people in the town, so what can she sell?"
Lin Sanjiu had many questions to ask, such as whether anyone in the town was engaged in farming; where the required materials and supplies were transported from; what the town produced... But she had no time to ask any of these questions.
Because the next moment, a huge deep pit suddenly collapsed in the center of the town square.
The ground trembled and suddenly fell deep into itself, and a thick cloud of dust and dust rolled up into a cloud of yellow smoke. With just a few tremors, countless people disappeared without even having time to get out of the ground.
Screams, the sound of shelves breaking, the sound of running footsteps, and the noise of things being knocked over were all loud, but they could not cover up the sounds coming from deep in the ground, slowly disconnecting, and slowly expanding, as if the flesh was being torn apart.
A dull sound.
Lin Sanjiu hugged Bohemia tightly, and stood at the edge of the square with Yu Yuan, looking at the gaping place of the earth. She was still breathing, and felt a little dizzy for a moment. She didn't even remember how she felt.
Came here.
"It's okay," someone shouted in the distance, "It's okay, the pit this time is about five or six meters long, only in the center of the square, and it has stopped!"
"How many people fell in?" someone asked again.
"Quite a few," I don't know who responded. "If anyone knows exactly who fell, please tell the family when you get home."
"It should be, it should be," the still-shocked townspeople responded while clutching their belongings tightly.
"Trick?" Lin Sanjiu whispered and glanced at Yu Yuan.
His face was quite ugly, his eyelashes were lowered, and he just said "hmm".
"Don't panic, everyone," there seemed to be a person in charge, who climbed up on a table at this moment and shouted: "Clean up the surrounding area, those who are willing to go home, those who are willing to continue... The pit is over, today's
The safest place is nearby!”
What's the meaning?
Lin Sanjiu stood there blankly, watching the surrounding townspeople picking up their belongings, flowing in and out, bypassing the deep pit that was slowly closing with a dark smell in the center, and continued to set up a stall.
In the last chapter, I received a lot of weighty messages, encouraging me, expressing love... I have a problem. When I encounter sincerity and warmth, my mouth becomes stupid, I can't say anything, and I don't even dare to speak easily.
Reply, I always feel that replying easily is not representative of my feelings...but I am very touched, really.
By the way, although there are eleven people, I didn’t plan to write about all eleven of them in the same length as Yu Yuan. The dreams of eleven people are light and heavy. It’s not (just) because I’m lazy, mainly because I’m lazy.
If the length is too long, it will disrupt the rhythm of the ending, because the focus is, after all, other than the dream.
