We Live In Nanjing

  Chapter 14 Today is September 8

  At four o'clock this afternoon, Banxia left early.

   Carrying a bag and pushing a bicycle, she stepped out of the gate of the community leisurely and walked in the knee-high grass.

  The girl is upset.

It's really strange that she was still excited and excited when she first came downstairs, but as she approached the intersection of Zhongshanmen Street step by step, as time approached six o'clock every minute, Banxia's heart was beating more and more. The faster I came, my heart became more and more nervous.

  Will they come? How many people will come?

One? two? Three?

  What do they look like? Is it like Daniel Wu, Peng Yuyan or Tom Cruise?

  How to deal with?

  How to say hello when we meet later?

   While pushing the car, Banxia imagined that there was someone in front of her. She waved to the air to simulate what might happen later:

  "Hello, hello! I am Pinellia! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

  No, the girl frowned, not solemn enough.

  So why not hold a fist?

  "Brothers, in the second half of summer, I have been waiting for a long time."

   is also wrong, Pinellia shook her head and said nothing.

The tattered mountain bikes creaked, and Pinellia walks alone in the middle of the road. The hardened asphalt pavement is easier to walk than the sidewalk. The sidewalk has long been full of weeds, and there may be grass in the bushes. snake.

  She kicked the dry and cracked cow dung off the road with her feet, and the cow dung broke into small **** and rolled into the grass on the side of the road.

It takes only ten minutes to walk from the gate of Meihua Villa to the intersection of Zhongshanmen Street. The broad roads of Zhongshanmen Street are surrounded by thick French platanus trees that have not been taken care of for so many years. The fallen leaves accumulated on the road are almost there. The knee is so deep, and one foot is stepped on, underneath is the black mud made of rotting sycamore leaves.

  Banxia pushed the bicycle across the road, and then stood on the opposite side of the intersection.

  This is a location with a great view. Looking to the left is the direction of the Purple Mountain Peninsula, looking to the right is the direction of Xuanwu Bay, and directly opposite is the deserted Alfalfa Garden Street.

   took out his pocket watch from his backpack and glanced at the time, 4:20.

  There is one hour and forty minutes until six o'clock.

The girl took a deep breath. The air was full of fallen leaves and the smell of soil. She looked down at her feet and looked up at the leafy French sycamore trees. The dim sunlight penetrated the layers of sycamore leaves and fell on the pinellia. Shoulders.

  She hummed softly.

Far away, there was a sika deer crossing the road with its cubs. It noticed that someone appeared in its field of vision. The thin white shadow stood on the side of the road, standing under the highway viaduct. It was tall and straight, with a slender neck, like a Egret, but it didn't know why she stayed there for a long time without moving.

  As soon as the wind blew, the leaves of the tree crown moved stubbornly, and the girl’s body shattered light spots like ripples.

  The quadratic function is really the enemy of life.

   By the time Bai Yang completed the last quadratic function question on the simulation test paper, it was already 5:50 in the afternoon.

  Looking at the time, Bai Yang said that his heart was broken and it was too late. "Five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation" missed me! He grabbed the phone on the desk and rushed out of the room, hurried to the hallway to change shoes.

   "Yang, are the papers finished?" Mom asked in the room.

   "It's done! I'm going out, it's almost six o'clock, and it's not too late to walk!" Bai Yang yelled as he pulled up his sneakers, paused vigorously, "I won't go home for dinner at night!"

  He has to invite the other party to eat whatever he wants, and can't let the girl go away for nothing.

   "Come back early—!"

"understood!"

  White Yang hurried out and ran downstairs.

   Running from the gate of Meihua Villa Community to the intersection of Zhongshanmen Street, occasionally passers-by looked sideways. This sweaty young man ran like his **** on fire.

  Bai Yang held the traffic light pole at the intersection and panted, then raised his head and looked around.

Pedestrians come and go on Zhongshanmen Street, especially at intersections with viaducts. All kinds of people, men, women, young and old, walking on two legs, riding bicycles, riding electric bicycles, and enjoying old times come from all directions. In all directions, there was a large group of people crowded on the zebra crossing waiting for the traffic lights, a large area of ​​noisy mess.

   Bai Yang stood on the sidewalk, took out his phone and glanced at the time. It was exactly six o'clock, but luckily he was not late.

It was dark at six o'clock in the afternoon. The cars on the road were all with their lights on. The white poplar stretched his neck and looked hard. He was looking for the girl, who was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, and carrying a black backpack, pushing the mountain. Girl with ponytail in the car.

  There are many girls in white shirts.

  There are also many girls wearing blue jeans.

  There are also girls with black backpacks.

  There is also an older sister pushing a bicycle.

  But if you merge them into a single person, poplar will not be found.

   Could it be that it hasn’t arrived yet?

  White Poplar paused for a moment.

   Then stand here and wait for her.

  The red light turned green, and the crowds on both sides of the road waiting for the traffic light moved at the same time, staggered across the road, passing by the poplar one by one.

After half a minute, the green light turned red, and a minute later, the red light turned green again. The crowd gathered and scattered on both sides of the road. Only Bai Yang stood motionless, nailed to the spot like a nail, and the flow of people separated in front of him. Bai Yang stood under the traffic lights, his eyes swept one by one from the crowd, but he couldn't find anyone who met the requirements.

  He regretted not leaving a contact information. When he arrived, he made a call or said something on WeChat. Then he waited for something to happen, but then he thought about the girl who didn’t even have a mobile phone number. It was really outrageous.

   "Sister, where are you?"

  Bai Yang sighed, then glanced at the phone again, it was half past six.

   Could it be a traffic jam during rush hour?

  That is also possible.

  But don’t you know how to take the subway?

  If she takes the subway, she may come from the direction of Muxuyuan subway station.

Baiyang looked towards the subway station, and saw the city and streets brightly lit by night lights, and cars were constantly flowing. Half of the people in this city were going home and half were going out. He hoped that a young girl would appear next to him. In the field of vision, the man is carrying a black backpack, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, pushing a bicycle.

  The night is getting darker and darker.

  Banxia glanced at her pocket watch. It was already 7:30 in the evening. She waited here for three hours until both moons had risen.

  Until now, no second person has appeared.

  The teacher urged her not to go out at night. Today is Banxia’s first violation of the teacher’s rules. In order to contact other survivors, she doesn’t care so much.

  But the other party missed the appointment.

why is that?

  Is there any danger?

  Banxia was very worried. She was worried that the other party had encountered an accident on the way to the appointment, but she did not dare to leave here, fearing that she would miss the other party after leaving.

  The bicycle was leaning on the trunk of the plane tree. The night was dark, but the moon was very bright. Something was faintly howling in the distance. The girl stood tired, so she slowly squatted down with her bow and arrow, and squatted under the thick pillars of the viaduct.

  She had never been outside so late. At this moment, she was a little worried, and Banxia stared at the road under the moonlight from a distance.

   "Why don't you come to see me..."

  On this day, at the intersection of Zhongshanmen Street and Muluyuan Street, Banxia did not wait for the person who should have attended the appointment after all.

  The little shadow squatted in the dark night, tapping the floor tiles with his fingers lightly every second, and time passed in the entire universe and in her heart.

  This is Qinhuai District, Nanjing.

  Today is September 8, 2040.

   "Hello? Mom? Alright, okay, I'll go home right away, I know it's half past eight, I know..."

   "People? No, nothing, she didn't come at all, let me go."

   "I was silly and waited at the intersection for two and a half hours...meal? I didn't eat, I didn't eat anything."

   "Is there still dinner at home? Okay, I'll go home soon, and go home soon."

  Poplar hangs up.

   leaned on the street lamp and scratched his head.

  If this matter is known to He Leqin and Yan Zhihan, they must laugh to death.

   was called out and waited on the main road for two and a half hours, but the pigeons were released. What is this?

   "Poplar, poplar, you are so stupid."

  Poplar poked the street light pole hard.

   "Go home! Go home now! Go to school tomorrow!"

  He vented his anger and stepped **** the sidewalk tiles.

  On this day, Bai Yang did not wait for the people he was waiting for at the intersection of Muyuan Street and Zhongshanmen Street.

  He returned along the path, his back gradually disappeared into the lights of the city.

  This is Qinhuai District, Nanjing.

  Today is September 8, 2019.
