Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

This winter is extremely cold. There is no snow, but the temperature is surprisingly low.

In previous years, the average temperature was two to three degrees below zero, but this year it dropped to eighty or nine degrees below zero - it was like living in a new home in the Arctic.

Not only is it cold, it's also foggy.

Originally, when it snowed in winter, the roads would be slippery and safety accidents would occur. Now that there is fog, there are more accidents.

When another ambulance passed by the roadside with its siren honking, the delivery man came outside the store. As soon as the door opened, the fog came in and the air-conditioning also came in.

"The weather is tough, boss lady. I guess we won't be able to deliver goods in the next two days. Big trucks can't move in this kind of horrible weather..."

He carried two boxes of drinks into the store and stacked them in front of the shelves.

Listening to the ambulances passing by one after another outside, the proprietress complained, "What a terrible weather."

As she said that, she walked over and took a look, "That's it? Is it gone?"

"Then there's nothing we can do. The big truck won't be able to come in these two days, and we won't be able to deliver anything..."

The glass door of the convenience store was open, and the cold wind outside was blowing, forcing the warmth out of the room. After selecting the products, Yun Si came to the checkout counter and put down her things.

"Boss, check out."

"Oh, okay, here we go." The proprietress patted the mover and said, "Please move these inside and put them in the same place."

After that, she closed the open door to block the wind outside.

The TV set next to the cashier is currently broadcasting news, and it is emergency news - due to heavy fog, there was a rear-end accident involving more than a dozen cars on the elevated highway. The scene was tragic, and the host kept reminding people to reduce unnecessary travel.

Yun Si stared at it for a while. She didn't stop looking until the landlady had settled the bill, packed everything in plastic bags and handed it to her.

It was extremely cold, windy and foggy outside. Yun Si carried her things, and before pushing the door open and going out, she wrapped herself in a scarf, wrapping herself tightly, leaving only her two eyes exposed. go out.

"Ding dong - welcome to visit next time -"

"call--"

The cold wind rushed towards my face, it was really fierce, like a tornado, and it almost knocked people off their feet.

Yun Si squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the white mist that spread everywhere. The visibility was frighteningly low. Standing on the roadside, she could only hear the sound of the passing car, but couldn't see the outline of the car.

She looked at the unusual weather and low temperature for a while, then left along the road.

…

…

…

It was already night when I got home. Late at night, the fog had not dissipated. The sirens of ambulances coming from the road became more and more frequent, and the sirens of police cars also appeared more frequently.

The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility is already low at night. Various accidents are becoming more and more frequent. Various sirens are blaring outside the community. Inside the community, everything is quiet. The weather is bad, and everyone basically no longer goes out.

Returning to her bright and spacious apartment, Yun Si put down her bag and turned on the heater. As the temperature rose, she took off her warm fleece scarf and took off her cotton-padded clothes, leaving only a thin sweater.

The fog outside was so heavy, wet and cold that it had condensed into a thin layer of frost on her window. Looking out through the window - she could not see anything but her own reflection.

The white fog was watching her quietly through the window.

Yun Si drew the curtains to block out the humid sea-like air outside, and turned on the TV. The talk show she often watched was playing on the TV. (End of chapter)
