    sixty-four

    Roz woke up at night and left home again.

    He felt like a cat that had just turned into a man, but was magically allowed to become a man at night.  How much he loves and cherishes every second of being a human being!  Although it doesn't know whether it has obtained a human soul, it knows that it is a human being at this moment, on the street at night

    He whistled, stepped on the catwalk, and slid into the elevator briskly.  There is really an overnight animal smell in the elevator, warm and smelly, the mice must have stayed and played in it.  But he is a cat that does not catch mice. He dances to the music he hums to the bottom of the building.

    The light in the elevator was too strong for his liking, and it suddenly made him feel short-sighted.  There was a tremor when the elevator stopped, and as soon as the door opened, Roz jumped out.

    In the basement car park, he can slide the catwalk to his jeep without looking.  The kind security guard covered his car well with the camouflage camouflage cloth on the car. He struggled to open it and touched his trouser pocket, only to find that he did not bring the car key.  Impossible, he has always been like this, the key is left in his trouser pocket, because as long as he is not drawing, he will drive out at any time.

    But he just couldn't find his car keys.

    Luo Zi felt that this night was really weird.

    He stopped looking, smiled, took the elevator back to the first floor, came to the lobby, and was going to leave the house like this, and go at night.

    The feeling tonight seems to be a little different from usual, the city lights are bright tonight, and it is extraordinarily empty.

    The streets of the city are wide open, and those street lamps are quiet, as if they have thought.  The commercial buildings on the street are all closed, and the neon lights flash happily and mischievously with various colors and patterns.  It seemed as if all of a sudden, people had left the city, and the tremors left by their footsteps, which had just stepped through the streets, were slowly disappearing.  Were they lining up for a ship in some port, as he had dreamed?  Has anyone seen their panicked, stone-like faces?  Has anyone ever stopped them?  He used to be on the ridge, one step away from them, shouting loudly, begging them to stop, but they turned a deaf ear, as if they and him were actually in a different world, so even though they were close at hand, they couldn't  See each other, let alone hear each other's voice, understand each other's thoughts and actions.

    Why would he have such a dream?

    People deserted the city, their steps were stiff, their faces gray and marble, and he sat on the high pass rock, watching them, calling to them, but no one heard his voice, he was like beside them  A wisp of icy air.

    This is a city that never sleeps, and the night of this city is also like the white night of northern Europe. The streets are full of dreamy people, people who work hard, and people who carnival endlessly.  But the city is very empty tonight, the dust is singing, even the leaves are dazzlingly green, and the vehicles passing by the crossroads in the distance are like ghosts.

    The gentle breeze, like a woman's hair, makes one's heart beat

    This is the winter in Haicheng in the south. The coldest time is similar to the late autumn in the mainland. It is the most comfortable and happiest day of the year.  The most important festival in China, the Spring Festival, calls the wanderers home, the migrant workers are on holiday, and this immigrant city is empty.

    Luo Zi has forgotten the time and the years. He has lived in this city for nearly 20 years, and he is no longer a migratory bird. He also forgot that the city will become empty in a few days.  A little cold and a little warm.  The face is cold, the forehead is cold, but the body is warm, the steps are very steady, and the neck covered by the collar of the coat is also very warm.

    During this night, he suddenly lost his sense of direction.  He hoped that as soon as he was on the road, he could see a place like the "Bullet Casing" bar. In the bar, if Alin was there, they could chat from ancient Greece to the Three Kingdoms, across those ages of enlightenment, belief, and adventure  ¡­talked until dawn.

    But all the 24-hour bars seem to have disappeared tonight. The streets where they used to be located look like undersea tunnels, without traces, watertight, and no shadows left.

    He walked towards the brightest and most spacious street, and walked towards the intersection with people.

    The wandering figure was actually a patrolman.

    He recognized the uniform and tough figure of the patrolman, and turned to leave.

    This in turn causedThe whole city is empty"

    "What? Where did they go?" He thought of his dream, but it turned out to be a fact?  People have abandoned the city and mysteriously moved to other places?

    "Idiot, it's New Year's Eve, let's all go back to celebrate the New Year! Tell me, which Haicheng person will still be on the street late at night?"

    "Is there a rule that you can't be on the street at night? Is there a curfew?"

    "Ha, it seems that you are still a somewhat educated person." The thinner one with glasses said, and turned around to bring a piece of printed paper about the rules and regulations of public security work: "Look good," he pointed with his slender fingers.  Looking at those mimeographed words, "You can go wherever you want at night, but we have the right to check anyone we think is suspicious!"

    "I'm suspicious?"

    "You were walking on the street, why did you run when you saw us? What did you do tonight?"

    "I just left home and wanted to go for a walk."

    One of the three young people became impatient, lit a cigarette, and said to the other two: "If you don't have itchy hands, you should lock them up first. They must be vagrants from the north.  Hit! Or, just want to get some money and go home."

    The other said: "Is it crazy?" He asked Luo Zi: "You didn't get any stimulation, did you?"

    "You guys make me feel a little bit excited." Roz teased.

    They ignored him, one of them emphatically "shut up first!"

    Luo Zi smiled: "You want to lock me up? Get me something to eat first, I haven't eaten today, I'm hungry!"

    "No food, nothing to eat!"

    The young man who had been silent all this time said now, "I think this person looks familiar."

    They took him away.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
