Double sleep

"Bang... bang... bang... bang... bang..."

Ling Rusi was awakened by the sudden explosion, her heart beating violently in her chest.There was a sound of thunder and bangs exploding in the air one after another.

Isn't fireworks banned in the city?Who is so bold.

It is the ears that wake up first, and then the sight that wakes up.

Ling Rusi saw seven or eight familiar and unfamiliar faces sitting in a circle around the electric heater in the living room of her home to keep warm.Human voices poured into the eardrums from all directions.

"Ling Rusi, are you dozing off?"

"It's just past ten o'clock, you can't do it."

She only glanced around, and immediately recognized that it was an old house in her hometown.Most of the people sitting in front of them were high school classmates, and some of them were from the class next door. They were not familiar with them. They were all brought over by Feng Jian. Among the people were Li Lei and Han Meimei.

She recalled a little in her mind, and remembered that this scene was in the second year of the new calendar, the [-]th night of the winter vacation of the freshman year.

19 years ago.

Her parents and several uncles and aunts played three tables of mahjong in the old house of her grandmother's house, preparing to fight from the old year to the new year.Anyway, the small town has been noisy with firecrackers since the 29th of the year, and it will not stop from the daytime of the [-]th to the daytime of the first day of the new year.

Grandma's house is a small two-story villa built by myself in the early years. The rooms are large and spacious. The two elderly people like to move and not like to be quiet.

Chattering, laughing and cursing, making noise is the world.

Ling Rusi didn't like to mix with the elders, so under Feng Jian's organization, a group of people gathered at her home to watch the new year together.

At that time, college students had no pocket money, and they hadn’t seen many extravagances in the secular world.

Just entering university from high school, although I have met more people and seen more scenery, I still haven't shed the childishness and innocence in my bones.

A few people get together, in someone's house, sit together and talk about the city you went to, the place I went.

Talk about unheard and unseen stories in college life, interesting, bloody, touching, vulgar.

Simple and happy.

Ling Rusi met Li Lei through Feng Jian.

Although I used to be in the same school, I heard Han Meimei repeatedly mention that Li Lei and Han Meimei were in the same class in high school. On the first day of school, Han Meimei came to find Ling Rusi after class, and told her excitedly and shyly: "The one in our class named Li Lei The boys are very handsome."

He even deliberately dragged Ling Rusi to hide on the side of the playground to show her when both classes were in physical education class.

Ling Rusi saw a hair longer than hers, with the middle part hanging down from both sides to cover her eyes. At that time, she thought it looked like a Shih Tzu dog, with long hair hanging on both sides like this.

Li Lei threw a beautiful hollow three-pointer on the court. Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to feel that a girl was watching him.Diao Erlang took a quick glance over and felt that he was super handsome and shook his head, and tossed the long hair covering the corners of his eyes aside.

Ling Rusi heard Han Meimei take a deep breath, and said excitedly in a low voice, "So handsome!"

Ling Rusi looked at Han Meimei, then at Li Lei who was showing off like a peacock on the playground, and thought, handsome?

Li Lei and Ling Rusi had been together since the third day of that year.

Just because of a thousand firecrackers.

Their local custom is to set off firecrackers in every household in the early morning of the New Year's Eve, and to turn on the lights in all rooms in the house.

Ling Rusi's parents are more casual, thinking that there is no time to come back from playing mahjong to set off firecrackers anyway, and even a girl like Ling Rusi dare not set off firecrackers, so let's not let it go, so many people around the house set it off, so just help her family put together.

When everyone watched the New Year's Eve together, Li Lei went home, and it was exactly twelve o'clock in the morning when he came back.He quietly spread out the firecrackers in the small courtyard of Ling Rusi's house, and said to her while lighting it up: "How can we do it if we don't have firecrackers at home on New Year's Eve."

Just like that, Ling Rusi's heart exploded.

Returning to this scene again, the mood is completely different.This time, even if [-] firecrackers were fired in her heart, it would not be able to bloom again.

Sangtian has become a deep sea.

A deep sea that was unexpectedly filled.

From then on, the mortal sun, moon, and stars, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums, and sand and stones in the mountains and forests are no longer visible.

Seeing Li Lei getting up and about to leave, Ling Rusi turned to Feng Jian and said, "My dad said that firecrackers are not allowed at home this year, and there is no need to take out the trash on the first day of the new year. Seeing the debris of the firecrackers piled up in the yard every year to make trouble .”

Li Lei just walked to the door and paused for a moment, then took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, lit one and took a deep puff.

After smoking, he held the cigarette butt with his index finger and thumb, curled it up and flicked it out into the yard, and heard Ling Rusi say behind his back, "Cigarette butts are not acceptable either. It's not the brand my dad smokes. He needs to be more careful."

Li Lei turned his head to look at Ling Rusi. His hair, which had been cut short, finally allowed people to see his eyes on his youthful face.He smiled at her, then picked up the cigarette butt that had just been popped and threw it into the trash can in the yard.

Someone proposed to tell ghost stories on the New Year's Eve when firecrackers and fireworks were all set off.

See who speaks the best and who speaks the most boring.The most boring thing is to send red envelopes to everyone, the amount is not limited.

Then began all kinds of horror story competitions that have been circulated on campus and in hospitals for an unknown number of years.

Every time it starts.

My friend came across it before.

My classmate's relatives.

This is true, not a story.

For example, a girl from my classmate's village was going back to school by car from the town, and three people got up on the way, but it turned out to be a deadly accident.

Han Meimei said, what I said is also true. Regarding the matter in the dormitory next door to ours, several girls gathered together to play Die Fairy every day. Later, one of the girls died in a car accident, and the other dropped out of school directly.

What about the persistent review ghosts in the study room.

There are always paper borrowers who go to the toilet without paper in the toilet cubicle.

The framework of many stories is the same, and the protagonist is re-introduced, and it becomes the personal experience of someone who knows but does not know.

In fact, the ghost is also very busy, busy playing in various versions every day.

Li Lei said that what happened to him was all his own. It wasn't scary, but it was absolutely true and weird.

He once heard someone sigh outside the window in the middle of the night in the dormitory for a week. At first, he didn't pay attention to it, but then the sigh got closer and closer, so close that it seemed to be blowing behind his ear.But he got up and saw that there was no one outside the window, and everyone in the dormitory was asleep.

One night in the middle of the night, he was woken up again by the sound of sighing. He felt drowsy and wanted to sit up and smoke a cigarette, but just as he got up, he saw the upper and lower berths opposite him stretched out his arms to pull them up at the same time as his lower berth. The quilt turned over, and the movements were uniform.

He was so frightened that he almost didn't urinate back into his bladder, and he didn't dare to smoke anymore. He pulled up the quilt and covered his head, and fell asleep hard.

After finishing speaking, he added: "Isn't it said that boys are full of yang, why do I always meet these friends, I am still a virgin." Then subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Ling Rusi, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ling Rusi turned her head to look at Han Meimei, pretending she didn't notice anything.

Back then, she and Li Lei were also considered to be in love for the first time.Two teenagers in their prime, eighteen or nineteen years old, clumsily fell in love like adults for the first time.

They don't understand anything, they learn from each other, and in the end they don't become better people in each other's relationship.

"So, it's up to you." Han Meimei saw Ling Rusi's eyes and bumped her arm with her elbow.

"I have cleared all my inventory for you," Ling Rusi smiled back at Han Meimei, and said, "I don't have that much experience, forget it, I'll give out red envelopes."

"That won't work. I would admit defeat without saying anything." Li Lei stopped him.

"Just make it up." Feng Jian said vaguely, still kneading melon seeds.

"Okay." Ling Rusi looked at the young and energetic faces in front of him.

Most of the people here have never met again.Feng Jian, Li Lei, and Han Meimei, who have been in constant contact with each other, have dimmed the light in their smiles in the later trials of life.

Suddenly I feel a little emotional, although I don't know how it all happened, how long it will stay, and what will change.

"Let me tell a true story. Actually, I came back from 19 years later. In the next 19 years, global warming, glaciers melted, ozone layer was destroyed, viruses raged, everyone was in danger, and it was about to perish .”

"Earth is gone, we are gone."

"Let me come back here and see you all alive and well, sitting together telling stories and eating melon seeds."

"very nice."

There was a burst of laughter at first, and everyone suddenly fell silent after laughing.I don't know who whispered: "Grass, it's really scary."

Ling Rusi giggled a few times and broke the silence: "Actually, what I want to say is that I did come back after 19 years, but the earth is not destroyed, and everyone is fine."

"Li Lei and Han Meimei are married and have a lovely daughter."

"The dream of being an English teacher in high school has come true."

As soon as the words finished, Han Meimei raised her right hand and patted Ling Rusi lightly, with a shy face on her face, she said, "What are you talking about?"

Li Lei got up and said, "You can really talk." He went to the door to smoke.

Feng Jian asked her joyfully: "Then Ling Daxian revealed what my future will be like?"

Ling Rusi and Bai Fengjian glanced at him and said: "Have a car and a house, have both children, eat, drink, whore and gamble, and sit and wait to die."

"Hahaha..." Feng Jian was not annoyed after hearing this, and said heartily, "That's right, it's my style."

In the end, it was the red envelope sent by Ling Rusi. Everyone said that she was seriously off topic, and the comparison was about telling ghost stories, not science fiction movies.The largest red envelope is [-] yuan and the smallest is [-] cents.

She dignifiedly found a stack of red envelopes from the mobile company to charge the phone bill from the drawer of the study at home.Pack them separately and put them on the table for everyone to take at will.

Like a rich man.

She suddenly realized that she hadn't felt such fresh and warm popularity for a long time since she unexpectedly left.

However, it is better not to be involved with the person in front of me.

Since she can re-election, she chooses to start.

"The third day of this year is Valentine's Day. My boyfriend is not from the local area. Why don't you singles, let's spend it together." Han Meimei suggested with a smile, but her eyes wandered back and forth on Li Lei.

"How do you live? Isn't it just a rubbing together?" The boy sitting opposite Han Meimei asked, Ling Rusi didn't quite remember his name.

"No, we can make a one-on-one temporary couple, we can meet for a meal, and you can give me flowers." Han Meimei's eyes didn't wander back and forth now, but looked at Li Lei with a smile, completely ignoring her. My little boyfriend is thrown away.

"Interesting." Li Lei looked at Ling Rusi and said, "Beauty, please form a team and take care of me." It seemed that she couldn't accept Han Meimei's message at all.

Ling Rusi glanced at Li Lei, patted Feng Jian on the back and said, "I'll accompany my brother, his girlfriend asked me to help her keep a close eye on her boyfriend."

"Forget it, let's go play together, it's interesting how many people are there." Li Lei's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he waved.

Han Meimei was still enthusiastically motivating everyone. Although Li Lei's invitation to Ling Rusi made her feel disappointed, it did not affect her enthusiasm for the Valentine's Day team plan in the slightest.

Ling Rusi didn't answer any more calls, just picked up the book on the coffee table and began to read, took off his shoes and put them in the electric brazier to keep warm.It seems that the laughter around her has nothing to do with her, she is just a good young man who is obsessed with studying.

Even though the book she held in her hand had "Poultry Farming Technique" printed on the cover in bold five characters, she could see the posture of an intellectual woman.

In fact, thinking about it, if she hadn't stopped him, maybe Li Lei and Han Meimei would have been together long ago.

Back then, Li Lei agreed to spend Valentine's Day with Han Meimei and bring everyone together, but he could act as a temporary boyfriend and buy her a rose.

Later, the roses were bought for Ling Rusi, and the packaging was so ugly that she wanted to throw the flowers on the ground and rub them with the soles of her shoes.

Ling Rusi made an appointment in advance with Han Meimei to meet at the newsstand at the intersection of Dongsi Road at seven o'clock on Valentine's Day.Turning around, I called Li Lei to meet at the stadium of my former middle school at seven o'clock, and someone proposed to play some balls.

At that time, most people didn’t have cellphones, so when they made appointments, they would call their landlines at home, and set a time and place to meet. Once someone released pigeons, or there were other things in the middle, they couldn’t even find the person.

Therefore, Ling Rusi staggered Han Meimei and Li Lei that day.

It wasn't until the next day that Han Meimei's call was answered, and she said very sorry, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to make an appointment with you, and I left my mobile phone at home yesterday."

She and Li Lei met on the playground of the middle school. They sat on the railing and waited for more than half an hour, but found that no one came except them.

Li Lei said: "What's the situation, you are playing us."

Ling Rusi cupped his hands to his mouth, let out a breath of hot air, rubbed each other and said softly, "I don't know, they all froze to death."

Li Lei turned to look at Ling Rusi, watched for a while, jumped off the railing, stood in front of Ling Rusi, wrapped her hands in his own.

At six o'clock in the morning, the people sitting around Ling Rusi's house watching the year slowly dispersed, Li Lei was the last to go, and she opened the door to see him off.

Just as Li Lei's leg crossed the threshold, Ling Rusi tugged his sleeve lightly, and said in a low voice, "Let me form a team, buy me a rose, and I'll tell you where to meet tomorrow."

After hearing this, Li Lei raised his head suddenly, sparks popped out of his small eyes, and asked, "Really?"

"En." Ling Rusi nodded lightly, and closed the courtyard door.

On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ling Rusi called Han Meimei and made an appointment to meet at the newsstand at the intersection of Dongsi Road at [-]:[-] pm.I also made an appointment with Li Lei to meet at the newspaper stand at the intersection of Dongsi Road at [-]:[-] p.m.

After dinner, she followed Feng Jian and his party to play games in the Internet cafe.In fact, I don't know how to play any games, and I don't like to play games.

Finally found a website to read novels.

The mobile phone squirmed forward rhythmically, and with the "buzzing" vibration sound, the yellow light flickered on the small screen.

Ling Rusi has always been reading novels with no distractions.

The next day Han Meimei called her mysteriously, saying that she had broken up with her college boyfriend and decided to chase Li Lei.

There are so many predestined, ten thousand years at a glance.

Many times, if you turn a corner and lower your head, the trajectory of your life will show a different trend.Your partner and my partner may have changed their appearance quietly.

Affection is carved by time's hands one by one, and it is irreplaceable after a long time of company and waiting.
