In July, the highest temperature ever was recorded in Lotus City, and this record will be constantly refreshed in the future. There are few pedestrians on the street. They walk quickly along the shadows on both sides of the road, although they have to endure the hot waves from the outside of the air conditioner.
Indoor people are leisurely enjoying the cool brought by the air conditioner. Although the activity space is limited to a small space of dozens of square meters, fortunately, there are Internet and TV, so the body cannot be free, and the mind can be released at any rate.
"When I was a child, I could open my eyes to the sun..." I don't know whose child was reading the text. At this time, he squinted at the sky and looked down at the rolling heat waves on the road outside the window, thinking that only fools can open their eyes to the sun.
At the intersection not far away, several pedestrians were trapped in the sun by the traffic lights. They were anxious to scratch their heads, and just caught up with the 90 second red light. A young man looked up. He might want to see how big the great sun is at this time. Otherwise, how could it be so hot. Looking around, I can see nothing except the dazzling light, and still can't see how big the sun is. The young people are angry. Why can't they see so bright. The line of sight is blurry. If you look directly at the sun for a long time, you will burn your eyes. The young man lost, narrowed his eyes and covered most of the sky with his hands. The strong light has weakened a lot, and the outline of the sun has become clearer, just like a super white and super bright plate. He laughed, the sun is a big plate, really funny.
When the green light came on, the young man drew back his eyes to the sky and trotted away. He did not notice that there was a small black spot in the middle of the sun just now. The little black spot seemed to feel something, shook a few times, and then disappeared.
"The weather in our city will continue to be fine in the next few days..." The sweet voice of the weather forecast announcer came from the TV. The young man who had just looked up at the sun on the road was sitting on a chair watching TV. He was wearing a clean apron, one hand supporting his chin, and the other hand supporting two bowls of mung bean soup on the table. His face was not handsome, but it was also pretty, Only those eyes are particularly bright. He watched TV quietly and kept blinking his eyes. He thought that Lin Lin was really becoming more and more beautiful. She was very beautiful when she was at school. Then the corners of her mouth slowly rose.
"My drool is all on the table! I don't want to see my virtue, but the real toad wants to eat swan meat." The boss's daughter watched the waiter lying on the table, one hand holding his chin, watching the people giggling on the TV, and then became angry.
"Peach, how can you talk to Brother Cheng Ye?" Huang, the boss, had just finished cooking a takeout, when he came out of the kitchen, he saw his daughter whispering about the waiter in the shop.
Xiaotao was unconvinced and pointed to the TV: "It was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat. Sister Lin Lin is so beautiful. I'm ashamed of him even if he dared to think about it."
Seeing the boss coming, Cheng Ye handed the mung bean soup on the table.
"Boss, there shouldn't be many people in the shop recently. I want to take a day off tomorrow." Cheng Ye blinks, still watching TV.
Xiaotao's mouth curled aside and put the dishcloth on the table: "Look, I want to ask for leave when I come to the shop to watch TV every day. If I'm busy, I can't see anyone! I can't even endure this hardship, and I dare to think about what I have and don't have."
Although Xiaotao has been complaining, Cheng Ye is not angry. He knows that Xiaotao has a problem with him, because Lin Lin is Xiaotao's idol, and he is just an ordinary waiter. Who would have thought that his idol was so familiar with a waiter. Peach could not accept this relationship for a while, so he would be very resistant.
Huang Gang is very kind to Cheng Ye. It's hot now, and few customers come to the store. So he won't ask Cheng Ye to do anything to be on duty at any time. His attitude is correct. Moreover, Cheng Ye is also very sensible. In addition to serving food and cleaning the table, he often goes to the kitchen to help, and he also cooks mung bean soup to calm down the fire for those who deal with fire all the year round. In a word, Huang Gang thinks Cheng Ye is a very good young man. As for why his daughter has an opinion on him, he thinks he should not ask more.
"Is it something at school or something?" Huang Gang took a chair and sat down. At least he wanted to know why Cheng Ye asked for leave.
Cheng Ye shook his head, and his eyes blinked faster and faster: "I looked up at the sun on the way here just now, and now I feel a little pain in my eyes. I want to go to the hospital tomorrow, so there's no problem."
"Look, this fool..." Before Peach finished speaking, Huang Gang interrupted him. He saw Cheng Ye blinking his eyes and still crying.
"Don't wait for tomorrow! Go to the hospital now. Don't worry about the shop. I and Xiao Tao will be enough. No one will come in this awful weather anyway."
Maybe he thought what he said was wrong. Huang Gang then said, "Do you want Xiao Tao to send you?"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Ye slipped off his chair and fell to the ground.
"Call 120! Go!"
——Split line——
Cheng Ye was carried on a stretcher by the medical staff who came here. One of them said, "Who are you guardians? Follow us."
Without saying a word, Huang Gang picked up his wallet and followed the nurse out: "Peach, stay in the shop until Xiao He comes back."
Peach nodded hurriedly. Although she always said something about Cheng Ye, his pale face really frightened her just now. She didn't want Cheng Ye to be in trouble.
There was a drop of dark oil stain on the ceiling, which fell on Huang Gang who had just walked out of the door and disappeared into his clothes.
——Split line——
In the hospital, Cheng Ye is lying on a clean bed, but he still hasn't come to. Huang Gang sits beside the bed, and there is a trace of fatigue between his eyebrows. If there is something wrong with the young man in front of him, how can he tell his family? Besides, he is such a sensible child.
In fact, the ordinary ward shows that Cheng Ye is not in any serious trouble except that he has been unconscious all the time. All kinds of examination data show that his body has no problems, and even he is very healthy. As for why he is still unconscious, the doctor can only say that he is probably too tired and his brain needs to rest.
At this time, Cheng Ye is having a dream. In the dream, he is standing on the city wall. Outside the city wall is an endless white desert. There are some blood red vines growing in the desert. A little girl is standing beside him and talking to him.
"What you see now is the Baiji Desert, a desert that has surrounded our city for countless generations. Those are blood dried vines. It is said that a warrior entered the desert several generations ago and cut off countless blood dried vines. The cut vines actually shed blood." The little girl said excitedly, With his little hand, he pointed to a stout, withered vine not far away, just like a dragon.
The soldiers guarding the city looked at the two strange people, one big and one small, doubtfully. No one dared to appreciate the Baiji Desert so boldly in the past. People here were full of fear for it.
Cheng Ye stayed here for a long time. He knew that the world was not the earth. After several efforts, he failed. As a smart man, he should calm down and observe the world first.
The world is not big. When you look at the city wall, except for the endless white desert around, you can only see the round city below. The sky here is also very strange. There is no sun or moon that Cheng Ye is familiar with, and the day here is much longer than the night. The alternation of day and night does not change as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The little girl told him that when the curtain was closed, it was night, and on the contrary, it was day. When the curtain opened and closed, it would rain heavily, bringing a little cool to the small world.
"Interesting, what is the era you are talking about?" Cheng Ye looks at the changing sky and wonders what he is thinking.
The little girl seems very happy. The person around her is interested in the world. She squints at Cheng Ye. It seems that the man in front of her can really
It is said that since ancient times, the world will appear eternal night every other cycle, at that time, the whole world will be shrouded in darkness, lasting for hundreds of years. According to historical records, most of the time in the world was in the era of Eternal Night at the beginning. At that time, the city had just been built, and the Baiji Desert invaded the city. The city suffered heavy losses. Thanks to Eternal Night, the people in the city had enough time to recuperate, and now the city can completely block the desert.
After the Eternal Night Era, the city is now in a normal era, with day and night alternating. But with more and more records in books, urban people found that the perpetual night era lasted for less and less time, and the time of day in the normal era was longer and longer than the time of night. People began to fear that if it continued, there would be no night in the world one day, only beautiful but dangerous days left.
In order to appease the people, the city lord decided to ask the prophet to do divination. This grand divination ceremony is now being held. The center of the city is a huge abyss with no bottom. It is also here from ancient times. There is a wide platform around the abyss. People here firmly believe that the king of the eternal night lives in the deep underground, because this abyss will change in size with the day, as if fighting with the light all the time.
The prophet stepped on an invisible energy field and hung over the abyss. He sat cross legged, feeling the will of the king of the night, and prayed to him for salvation.
An old but dead breath floated from the abyss and wrapped the prophet. All people felt the great breath. They fell to the ground and hoped that the king would have mercy on themselves.
Cheng Ye also came to the platform at some time. The little girl stood beside him, looking at the ancient ceremony being carried out in the abyss.
With the trembling of his body, ripples spread around the prophet. He opened his eyes, as if the king of the eternal night was using his eyes to patrol. Looking around, the prophet sighed. Everyone was shocked by the sigh. They didn't know what it meant. The king of the eternal night knew that he could not defeat him? Or do you sigh that your people are so useless?
"Greetings to the Eternal Night King!"
"My Lord is immortal!"
The platform resounded with deafening eulogies, one after another.
The prophet swept over the people lying on the ground, and finally stopped his eyes on the two people standing on the platform. One of them is Cheng Ye. He doesn't understand why the people lying on the ground beside him should lie down. When he looked at the prophet again, he found that the prophet was actually facing him. The old face looked so kind, and the eyes showed a feeling of eternal loneliness. These are not the places where Cheng Ye was moved. The point is that the prophet actually looked at him and shed two lines of clear tears. The prophet was crying.
The little girl could not help crying when she saw the tears in the prophet's eyes. She seemed to have been repressed for a long time, so she cried loudly. Her cry echoed throughout the city.
"I finally found..."
