    ? On Monday evening, Qiu Zhi was running along the Guancheng River without waiting for it to get dark.  A group of rambunctious teenagers passed by the bridge with their blaring tape recorders humming Hong Kong and Taiwan pop songs.  They hit her on purpose and she was unconscious.

    It has been raining for more than a week, and the river has swelled badly. The muddy yellow water once overflowed the embankment, leaving countless white garbage.  The Guancheng River is shrouded in mist, and the smell of dead wood and moss floats in the air.  The river water was muddy, with large swaths of sand and sand, and the entire river swelled up, surging, as if a monster would stretch out its claws at any time.

    She ran towards the Guanghan Palace Bar.

    There was no light at all.  Feeling ominous in her heart, she ran even faster One shoe fell off, and she took off the other, twisted it in her hand, and finally arrived.

    Guanghan Palace seems to have only appeared in a dream. The lights, music, and crowds are all hallucinations.  Right now, it is very peaceful here. It is dark and silent under the bridge. The air-raid shelter in the early years has been submerged by the river water and sand, and the thick twilight is stored in it, waiting for the smog on the river to rush out.  On the sandy shore at the entrance of the cave, there are broken chairs, broken lamps and white foam fast food boxes.

    The music is still there, and the singing seems to be still mellow.  However, the dream destroyed by the flood is left in a mess, sighing in the twilight.  Carefully identify among the garbage, you can also find an upside-down bar counter and a few damaged goblets, revealing its illusory prosperity and noise in the past.

    Qiu Zhi stood at the entrance of the cave blankly.  On the silt beach formed after the water receded, there was a pair of deep footprints, which were printed by a man's oversized shoes.  Is it Rou Shi's footprints?  She couldn't estimate whether his shoe prints were that big.  It turned out that she was not familiar with him, just like a lonely person in the city and a lonely wolf in the mountains, that was the distance between them.

    When did the nighttime singing sound with fantastic lights, and the strange faces intoxicated in night dreams suffer a sudden attack?  they run?  call for help?  scream?  Is the flowing piano piece completed calmly?  Is there a slightly drunk woman, holding her skirt, leaning on a man's shoulder, and fleeing all the way?

    She knelt down and touched the shoe prints, trying to find familiar and unfamiliar traces; she raised her head again, sniffing the evening air, trying to find the breath of longing and anticipation.

    The fishy smell of the river floated in the air.

    Her long-suppressed and melancholy heart suddenly ached, and she suffered another heavy blow from the darkness coming from the river. Tears gushed out of her eyes, and she wailed loudly from her thin body

    For a long time, Qiuzhi cried on the bank of the river and almost passed out.

    Until late at night, the cold spring wind calmed her down.

    The rain stopped, and the night sky cleared after a long rain, with many white clouds floating, and the moon shuttled among the clouds, with a faint light.  Feeling her own weakness, she stood up with a light body, and walked slowly along the river bank, the road became more and more remote

    Go forward, go up to Chaoyang Bridge, pass through Chunlei Square, and go to the east of the city, which is the Wu Family Courtyard. Yu Jin will leave a lamp waiting for her.

    She walked lightly, and when she reached the Chaoyang Bridge, she could already see the waving statue of a great man in Chunlei Square, which was made in the 1960s.

    There is a man and a woman at the head of the bridge.

    This night, there is still love, they are so lucky to be able to find each other, they

    Are they lovers?  Likely not, because they kept their distance and looked at each other as they spoke¡ª

    The man asked: Are there any figs?

    The woman answered softly: Yes, I just got off the tree.

    What a familiar voice!  She stopped and called out, "Mina!"

    The man and woman looked back at her.  She waved her hand: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I admitted the wrong person."

    They ignored her.  The woman took the man's hand and quickly disappeared to the side of the square.

    Twenty-six

    "Did you hear the cat meow? Did you hear that?"

    In the darkness, Qiu Zhi was stunned for a long time before realizing that it was Yu Jin who was speaking.

    Yu Jin didn't know when she stood up, she was a healthy, slender and beautiful woman, her tall figure was swaying in the darkness.  Her mysterious beauty can transcend all time and space and become immortal.

    "The cat's voice, like singing, like a child's cry, like my daughter's voice, makes my heart tremble You don't talk? Are you listening? Have you noticed that the cat's voice is different from before? I  I listened all night and all night, the sound of its four little hooves walking across the roof was so light that only I could hear it

    "The rain stopped, the rain stopped, I saw white clouds and the moon from the skylight, did you see it? Did you catch a cold? Poor little girl, I have to cover you with an extra blanketBought for her from Yunnan.  It walked a few steps, then turned back to wait for her.

    Confused cat, although the alley is where the fire has not yet reached, it may be possible to escape, but how can Yujin be like you, who can easily jump up that section of the earthen wall?

    Qiu Zhi ran towards them desperately.

    The sound of the fire surging and clamoring made her face ache.  Everything in the firelight is illusory and vivid.  She was close to them, but she felt a pain in her chest, almost suffocated, and fell to the ground.

    She clutched a handful of dirt in her hand, and the glass in the dirt cut her palm, and the pain woke her up.

    Qiuzhi found that the fire had sealed the courtyard, and the red tongue had penetrated the highest ridge, licking the sky She smelled the smell of scorched hair and felt desperate; she, Yujin, and the white giant  Cat, entered a dead end!

    A roar erupted from the core of the compound.

    Mao Mao and Yujin had already reached the earthen wall, and Qiuzhi also approached them.  Qiu Zhi took off the burning coat, swung at it, and pulled Yu Jin onto her shoulder with all her strength, the fireworks made it difficult for her to breathe.

    The bang shook the ground again, and Yu Jin, who was still in shock, fell down the wall.  Qiu Zhi quickly straightened her body, rushed over, and fell on Yu Jin's body.  The cat's body was stuck to the base of the wall.  It was scratching desperately, using its teeth and two small claws, desperately planing Qiuzhi dragged the unconscious Yujin to climb forward, but in an instant, the ruined walls collapsed, covering them

    Epilogue: The fire in the spring of 1993 completely turned the Wu family compound in the east of Yucheng into ruins.

    To people's surprise, the firefighters dug out two women from under the rubble, one of whom was a paralyzed person with a hemiplegia.  It turned out that a small hole leading to the street under the wall saved them.  The hole is only the size of a finger, fresh, with claw marks all around, and some blood, with a cat's small broken armor and white fluff (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
