The paper man is always weird in everything, let alone a paper man whose whole body has been squashed by me and whose facial features have long been displaced! ?
What’s even more terrifying is that this paper man can even pretend to be a human being. Not only does he have his own thoughts, but he can also talk!
When I saw it slowly floating towards me, I felt that my mind went blank, and my whole body suddenly became light and airy, just like the floating paper man, and the world around me seemed to be floating in an instant. became silent.
I felt like, in another second, I would pass out.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a hot sting on my wrists and ankles, which allowed me to regain my perception of the world, and there was also a gust of wind in my ears.
Looking at the paper man floating in front of me, almost approaching me, I finally came to my senses, with only one thought in my mind - run!
I turned around suddenly, not caring whether my legs could still run. I just raised my legs mechanically, looked ahead, and ran forward desperately.
I was unable to run before, but at this moment I was like a frightened wild donkey. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I bounced forward again. Therefore, when it comes to life and death, human potential is unlimited. At least, I feel it now.
I don’t know how long I ran. I just ran out of the ravine. When I saw someone’s house in front of me, my legs went weak unconsciously and I collapsed on the ground.
Fortunately, our village is remote and no one comes here on weekdays, so I lay there for a while without being noticed. Otherwise, I am really afraid that with my current appearance, passers-by will regard me as a critically ill patient and send me to the hospital for emergency treatment.
After I collapsed, I kept looking in the direction of the village, trying to see if the paper man was catching up. I lay there and stared for as long as I wanted, motionless.
Fortunately, the road was empty and nothing was following. For this reason, I breathed a long sigh of relief, then struggled to get up from the ground, and staggered toward the station in the town.
After finally getting to the station, I was told that a car had just left and the next one would have to wait until it was full.
I happened to be very hungry after running all the way, so I had a bowl of rice noodles at the noodle shop next door, and then went back to the simple waiting hall to wait.
When I was waiting for the village chief and others to come over at Chen Guzi's house, I planned my travel route. Just because I don’t have a mobile phone, the specific itinerary has not yet been determined.
The original plan was to get the mobile phone and check it while walking when there was a signal, but I didn't expect that I ran into Mr. Dojo not far after running out of the village. I was scared to death along the way and had no time to check the route.
In my impression, our Shi'en Autonomous Prefecture should not be far from Xiangtu Autonomous Prefecture, but because both places are relatively backward, there are not many shuttle buses connecting each other. There seems to be only one train in the morning, which is said to be a full expressway. I don't know how long it takes.
So I took out my mobile phone and carefully checked various routes, and then found that I could only get to the county seat tonight, and then take the only bus there tomorrow morning. Fortunately, the distance between the two places is really not far. If you use the highway, you can get there in only two and a half hours.
In other words, as long as everything goes well, I will be able to find Zhang Hazi at about ten o'clock tomorrow morning. As long as Zhang Hazi is found, all this should be over, right?
When I thought of this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and my whole spirit became much more relaxed. So soon, the fatigue accumulated in the past few days burst out, instantly taking over my body, and a fierce fight began right before my eyes.
I was afraid of missing the bus time, so I simply got on the bus and waited. Anyway, I bought my ticket on the bus, so I wouldn’t be kicked off because I didn’t have a ticket.
But I regretted it after getting on the bus, because I missed one thing, that is, there is no air conditioning on the bus. In the summer, the bus is exposed to the sun, and the entire carriage is like a steamer, unless I don’t want to live anymore, otherwise no one can bear it.
I had no choice but to go back to the waiting hall and tell the conductor on board the train to remember to call me when the train departs. Then I sat down in the same position again and fell asleep soon after.
I don’t know how long I slept. I only know that I was woken up by the conductor, and then I followed her into the car in a daze. The air conditioning was on in the car at this time, and I couldn't help but shiver after getting on the car.
When I got on the bus, everyone was almost seated, and I didn’t like sitting with others, so I found a seat closer to the back and sat down by the window, then closed my eyes and planned to go back to sleep.
The bus drove very smoothly, and not only did I not get motion sickness when I sat on it, but it was quite comfortable. In addition, the sound insulation of the bus was very good, and the quiet environment made me feel sleepy again after a while, and I fell into a deep sleep.
I was woken up by the driver's sudden braking. When I opened my eyes, I was shocked by the scene in front of me - the sky outside the window was already dark!
I remember that it was only around 1 in the afternoon when I started to fall asleep. Could it be that I slept in the waiting hall for too long?
When the on-board conductor woke me up, I was so groggy that I got on the bus without looking at the time. I didn’t know what time it was. But looking at the sky outside the window, I thought it would be around five or six when I got in the car.
After the driver parked the car, he opened the door and a person walked up, probably a passenger along the road. This situation is very common here. Because of the poor lighting, I couldn't see the man's appearance clearly. I only saw that after he got on the bus, he didn't pick a place and just found a seat nearby to sit down.
After such a delay, most of my sleepiness disappeared. I squinted my eyes and tried to sleep for a while, but my body moved sideways and I couldn't find a suitable position. I couldn't fall asleep no matter what. And in a daze, I felt that the person who just came up looked a little familiar.
I thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with a reason, so I stopped worrying and took out my phone, intending to listen to music to pass the time.
But when I unlocked the phone, I was surprised to find that there was no signal on the phone!
This is a bit fucked up. This is the road from the town to the county seat. How could there be no signal?
I tried turning on airplane mode for ten seconds and then turning off airplane mode - this is the best way to find a signal without turning off the phone. It works every time on weekdays. But this time, it failed. No signal means no signal, and there is no negotiation at all.
Fortunately, the music in the music listening software was all downloaded in advance when I had WiFi, so I could listen to it even if there was no signal.
I put on my headphones and played it randomly, and the prelude of "The Wind Rises" soon sounded. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the long-lost peace.
“Walking and stopping along the way/Following the traces of youthful drifting...I once struggled to extricate myself from the vastness of the world/I was also addicted to talking in my sleep/Not true or false, not struggling, not afraid of jokes...Walking against the light/Let the wind The blowing rain hits...Si Qing...Si Qing..."
I felt someone pushing me, so I opened my eyes, and my heart suddenly contracted, because I saw that the person pushing me was the one who had just got on the bus halfway, and he turned out to be Mr. Dojo!
