ring the bell

Fire drills can help people learn to survive when a fire breaks out, but those crazy dreams can't make Xu Xu learn to feel better at this time.He stood alone with his hands in his pockets and his head held high.After that hug, Zhong Linyang was no longer there. Just like last time, Zhong Linyang’s going up the bell tower was an anti-physical process. There was no need to climb or walk. When the time came, he would naturally appear there and disappear beside him. Like an inevitability that can be written into textbooks.

So Xu Xu could only look up, from the perspective of his dream.

Still in the same school uniform, the setting sun didn't change much, but Xu's slight myopia prevented him from seeing Zhong Linyang's face clearly.Is the hair still flying around?Are you still smiling?What's so funny about jumping off a building?At that time, six years ago, when I really jumped down, did I laugh again?

He was thinking wildly.He didn't know what to think.Standing there blankly, Xu Xu thinks that this cannot be called waiting, waiting always has a meaning of anticipation in it, he does not.

But in the end, he couldn't find any alternative words. He had indeed waited for a long time, and it wasn't an exaggeration like time freezing.Zhong Linyang seemed to have become a stroke of a painting, an embellishment, standing high on the wall for a while, sitting down again, shaking his legs, he was not in a hurry, and he didn't keep looking for permission, he was as leisurely as he was. Standing on a high place to watch the scenery.

Therefore, his jumping down seemed extraordinarily abrupt.

Xu Xu saw everything, from when he flew into the sky to when he fell to the ground.It's different from the dream, what kind of blood mist, what kind of bad puppet, that's too poetic, people fall into pieces, the blood is not bright, but black.Li Xu's pupils shrank into pinholes, and his eyes felt real strength and pain.

Zhong Linyang——If that stall can still be regarded as Zhong Linyang, there has been no movement for a long time, Xu is dripping with sweat, he wants to go over, but he can only nail himself in place, because he knows Zhong Linyang In no mood.

As a result, Zhong Linyang quickly got up on his own, as if he had propped up a dimension for himself. He stood upright and complete, and finally he was able to look at Xu Xu.

He also waved at Xu Xu.

"I can't walk," he said aloud.

Xu Xu ran fast, but stumbled.In fact, it is only a dozen meters.

"Did it scare you?" Zhong Linyang still has unhealed injuries on his body, and he probably needs a while.Therefore, he did not rely on Xu Xu.

"You hurt." Ke Xu touched his face, the cut on his cheekbone.

"It's okay," Zhong Linyang obediently let himself touch, and he also knew that he couldn't bear to hide, "I didn't cry, it's OK."

Xu Xu wanted to cry when he heard this, as if he had been under anesthesia for too long, and only now realized that he still has emotions, but he endured it.They just looked at each other at a loss, maybe ten minutes, maybe dozens, and seeing that it was completely dark, Zhong Linyang took permission to go to the night market in the south of the city.

This place has not been demolished yet, just like before, a few rows of prefabricated houses are messed up by oily smoke, a small half is empty, and the other half is filled with various vendors, but a few years ago the tenderloin sandwich was popular, now The most popular is the chicken wings with rice.The two stopped at the entrance of a small meatball soup shop. The room with electric fans was already full, and they were allowed to open the plastic chair next to a pot of rhododendrons.

Zhong Linyang sat in naturally, and fell on the back of the chair in a daze. "One serving of husband and wife's lung slices, one serving of spinach and peanuts in old vinegar, two bowls of big meatball soup soaked in cakes." Xu Xu looked at the boss with a modest attitude, which made him look mature in an instant.

"Do you still remember that I like to eat these?" Zhong Linyang laughed while lying on the table.

Xu Xu pushed him up, took out the little plastic paper towels in the cardboard box, and wiped the oily table clean, "You don't think it's dirty."

"You know, don't get me dirty."

Xu Xu's eyelids twitched, and he added two more bottles of soy milk, Zhong Linyang's favorite flavor of peanut chocolate. "I also like to eat these. I mix them together all day long, and the taste is the same."

"Then you'll eat all of it?" Zhong Linyang lay back on his stomach again, still happy.He always likes to look at people with his head tilted like this, which makes people think he is some kind of innocent and curious animal.If only.Xu Xu thought this way, and silently finished his portion, and he was only willing to eat half of the cold dishes.

"It's a waste." Zhong Linyang blamed him.

"If you smell it, I'll count it as you eating it." Xu Xu has his own stubbornness.

Zhong Linyang blinked. Occasionally, he could indeed smell something, such as licensed Diao brand washing powder.But not now, and not these old-fashioned, fresh foods.

That night they pressed the road for a long time, and late at night, the two really went to spend the night under the bridge hole, because Xu Xu claimed that he had no money to stay in a hotel, so he could only try Zhong Linyang's previous idea of ​​romantic poverty.Zhong Linyang did not expose him, "Sit on my lap." He sat down at a [-]-degree angle, really treating himself as a chair, "Don't get me dirty." He said so again.

Xu sat for a while, then quickly slid down and leaned against Zhong Linyang, "Can I hug you?"

"I can't hold it like that just now." He added.

This made it difficult for Zhong Linyang to refuse.

The bridge above the head is not a road, but a train bridge with railroad tracks. All night long, the sound of "clanging" comes one after another regularly, almost never broken, which can be described as deafening.Xu was in a daze all night. At dawn, he didn't want to be so half-dream and half-awake again. Zhong Linyang never felt sleepy, so the two got up and continued to press the road for a whole day. They almost walked around Liucheng. In the evening, they Standing under the bell tower again.

"I'll go up with you." Xu Ke gripped Zhong Linyang's fingers.

"Don't want to be hit down there?" Zhong Linyang narrowed his eyes.

"Can that bell still ring?" Xu Xu asked back.

"Well, it should be," Zhong Linyang nodded, quite hearty, "Go up and have a look, the stairs are unlocked."

So they stood on a high place together, overlooking this gray and ruined small city, and also saw the sky with rolling clouds and clouds, and the horizon divided the world into two colors.

"Hey, yesterday you saw that I stayed here for so long, unhurried, and thought it was strange." Zhong Linyang glanced lightly at the big clock that was almost decaying, and stood on the edge of the wall again.

"Hmm." Xu Xu's heart had already started pounding against his chest, and he didn't care whether the clock was ringing or not.

"I also find it strange." Zhong Linyang said with a smile, "Then you can stay with me for as long as yesterday, nearly half an hour."

Li Ke was a little confused, because Zhong Linyang still didn't explain the reason, but he didn't ask, Zhong Linyang wanted him to be with him, and everything else would be a waste of interruption, "I feel comfortable staying with you "He hurriedly pulled Zhong Linyang down and hugged him, "It's fine if you don't speak."

"I think so too." Zhong Linyang leaned on his shoulder.

Xu looked down and saw Zhong Linyang's soft black hair, full forehead, distinctive eyebrows and raised eyelashes.He could say without hesitation that those eyes were like a pure dream.He used to always think that this person was too good-looking, a flower that fell in the ashes, picked the petals and stuffed them to him, but he trembled and didn't hold it.

Perhaps, or indeed, Zhong Linyang's flowing colors are not suitable for this rusty willow city.But just because of this, shouldn't Zhong Linyang exist?All this is too unreasonable.

Xu Xu thought very deeply, and the person in his arms seemed to have become heavy, half an hour was fleeting, and the setting sun was just as beautiful.

"Almost, 34:1, countdown for [-] minute." Zhong Linyang stood up straight quickly, and once again climbed up the wall, extremely light.

Xu Xu grabbed him subconsciously, of course he could only grab the ankle, through the rough school uniform pants.

"By the way," Zhong Linyang said stiffly, "I don't want to tell you, but I can't help it, OK, I really, I feel so wronged," he turned his back to Xu Xu, and said quickly, " At first, I didn't think about whether to dance or not, I just felt very annoying and scared... But many people surrounded me, and they all scolded me below, my aunt, uncle, my sister, and many others..."

"I can't die if I don't die!" He threw away those embarrassing sobs and shouted.

Li Ke still held onto him tightly, and he still refused to look back.

60 seconds is coming, isn't it?

"I'll go down with you!" Xu Xu couldn't stop crying.

He even counted to seventy seconds, but Zhong Linyang was still there, he could touch him, but felt that he was about to disappear in his hands.He had never felt this way before, even in that countdown-like first kiss, at least he felt at ease during the kiss.

"Release!" Zhong Linyang turned his head, frowning and drooping his eyes.

"...What, what's going on?" Xu Xu was stunned, why did Zhong Linyang become so transparent?

"Let go!" Zhong Linyang directly snapped his fingers backhanded, Xu Xu saw supernatural strength, and one of his fingers was dislocated.Zhong Linyang didn't care about it, Xu Xu only felt that he had slipped from his hand, hurriedly leaned on the edge of the wall to look at it, his hand was in a heartache, Xu Xu could only see a distant spot.Another spread.The wreckage from Zhong Linyang's fall.

He even seemed to hear the muffled sound, right next to his ears.

Xu Xu couldn't move at all, even if he snapped his fingers back, he was still stiff, and he could only stare at the ground with tears in his eyes. He felt that he was not far from madness, and when he could move a little, he ran down quickly, The dust was choking, the stairs were dark, he couldn't see anything clearly, when he bumped into it, it was Zhong Linyang.

Zhong Linyang has cleaned himself up neatly.again.

"I figured out a way." A tiny light leaked from overhead, and he looked at Lian in this ancient blur.

"what?"

"I think it's highly possible that you can stop all of this. Like what happened just now, it may be destiny," Zhong Linyang looked at Xu Xu very calmly, his benevolent eyes had no waves, and he didn't seem to be His, "Did you find out too?"

"what?"

"At this time tomorrow, hold me, don't let me fall, don't let go no matter what happens," Zhong Linyang said as it should be, but paused, as if he had made up his mind, his voice was also cold Surprisingly, "I've had enough of this shit, okay, you gotta try and help me end it."
