Escape Paradise

Chapter 40 Homecoming Raiders

A car drove up in the distance, it was also a taxi, which was especially unusual in this snowy day in the north.There are not many drivers who can come out in the middle of the night to solicit customers in the severe cold.

Wu Yitong waved to stop the taxi, maybe the car was afraid of skidding on the road, so it stopped very slowly, and even drove five meters away from him.

It doesn't matter, Wu Yitong walked over and knocked on the car window.

The window was rolled down, and the driver was a nearly 50-year-old driver with a little gray in his short white beard. Under the streetlights, the white beard was also flooded with silver light.

His eyes were extraordinarily energetic, and there seemed to be some expression hidden in the shimmering light.

That's what the old people in the south say, if what you see in the middle of your pupils is that clear and transparent, and you have a smooth life, you will definitely have good luck.

He was also wearing a hat, which was a bit outdated with the years, and it was the kind of hat only worn by artists.This is obviously not like a driver, Wu Yitong felt embarrassed to ask such questions as: "Are you a driver or a painter?"

"Master, can you open the trunk?"

"okay!"

The master is an authentic northerner with a strong Northeast accent and a sonorous and powerful voice. Perhaps it has been accumulated over the years. The voice is moderately powerful and magnetic, which is very memorable.

The trunk was opened and ejected by the master, Wu Yitong stepped down the steps carefully and put the suitcase into the trunk.

After getting in the car, the driver talked and laughed, Hao was not embarrassed, he didn't feel cold when he was talking.

"Little brother, are you from the south?"

"Ah."

"It doesn't look like this from your accent. Go home at the end of this year, right?"

"Ah."

"Good to go home! Good to go home."

"Master, it's so cold and so late, and you're still soliciting customers, why don't you go back earlier?"

Wu Yitong tried her best to learn the northern accent, but what she learned was very funny.

The driver was silent for a while, and then said after a while: "Hey, I'll go back after delivering this sum! Go home! My daughter is still waiting for me! Isn't this just to make more money!"

What does life give people, whether it is always happy or hard.We believe that life can give us more ease and more happiness, but in the end it is constant work.

After that, I didn't talk to the driver. The temperature in the car was very warm because the heater was on.The temperature was so different from the temperature outside that the car windows were covered with a layer of white mist.

The snow has stopped, and Wu Yitong just hopes that it won't snow again so that the plane won't be delayed.

The car drove very slowly, just a little faster than running, and the fading neon lights outside the car could be clearly seen.

Wu Yitong raised her head, only to realize that the advertisement on the pillow in the front seat was "Christmas Night" in Escape Paradise.

From the start of Christmas Eve, after 10 minutes, there are only five days left, and Wu Yitong doesn't know if he can make it back within five days, otherwise he has no choice but to find an Internet cafe in Shanghai to open the market.

The journey was peaceful, there weren't too many cars on the street, but the red light still made the car stop, and the intermittent journey made him feel a little nauseous.

When we arrived at the airport, it was past midnight, and the airport buildings seemed to be glowing through the bright white woven lights inside.

The driver said goodbye to him, and the car slowly drove through the taxi lane at the gate of the airport, heading towards the endless darkness in the distance.

Dragging the suitcase to the airport waiting hall, the silver-white hall walls have a touch of technology.

There are already a lot of people waiting here, the waiting seats are all full, and there are all kinds of travelers.

Many people who came later also had to switch to KFC nearby to wait for the flight to take off.

Wu Yitong was no exception. He ordered a cup of soy milk at the counter and sat on the long table. The box was placed next to him, and he slept on it for a while.

She didn't sleep for a long time, and she couldn't even snore, Wu Yitong was woken up by the same two students who came next to her.

"Sorry, brother. I woke you up to rest..."

One of them apologized obediently, while Wu Yitong shook his head and smiled, "No, no."

The two students are also authentic northerners, with a bit of a Beijing dialect in their speech.

"I see you are still students, where are you going?"

"Go to Shanghai and take the art school exam."

A boy patted the painting box next to the suitcase, and Wu Yitong nodded in understanding.

Later, I didn't listen to what they said, and finally squatted on the table for a while.It seems that the last man went to the consignment department to check all the luggage, and then he has no memory of it.

I slept until four o'clock in the morning, an hour before boarding time.Wu Yitong was woken up by the boy's patting, her eyes were blurred and she didn't know why.

There was a smile on the boy's face, full of vitality, and Wu Yitong realized that he was really old.

The mobile phone rang at this time, and the unique ringtone of the iPhone rang, and several people looked at their mobile phones unconsciously.

Wu Yitong answered the phone, and the caller was Liu Xu'er, the woman he liked.

"I heard you're going home?" The gentle voice remained the same, entering the cochlea from the ear canal.

"Yeah," he replied. "We have one hour left to board the plane."

"Oh, your parents let you go back?"

"Let me go back and have a blind date."

"Haha, you are old and young, so it's time to look for it."

"Hey! Then it's not like you haven't found it yet."

"No one would want someone like me!"

Wu Yitong was taken aback for a moment, because he almost said it.He wants to say: "I want you, I like you, and I will chase you."

Girls never know that behind what they say, there is always a boy who likes her so much and even wants to have her so much.

Wu Yitong is such a boy.

Liu Xu'er finally hung up the phone, but Wu Yitong didn't say anything because he couldn't say anything.

Thoughts are numerous and tangled in his heart, his heart is full of contradictions, his whole being is contradictory.

Wu Yitong shook her head, and finally boarded the plane.

With the help of the stewardess, the heavy luggage was finally put on the cabinet.Wu Yitong smiled, although she didn't thank her, she could feel it.

Of course, the stewardess was not that stingy, she also returned a smile and went to serve others.

Wu Yitong sat on the window seat of the economy class, where she could clearly see the outside scene. When she got up to the sky, the blue sky, white clouds, and the morning light of the sunrise were all beautiful in her eyes.

Not long after, two people came by Wu Yitong's side, and when he looked back, he found that they were the two boys he met at KFC.

"Brother, we meet again, you are going to Shanghai too!"

"Ah."

Later, I found out that they also played the online game Escape Paradise, although Wu Yitong didn't tell them her identity, and they didn't seem to mention the news about the master of District 5.

The plane started the engine, and the sound was so loud that the ears were numb.Tinnitus makes every passenger uncomfortable.

However, soon got used to it.

The plane tilted slightly, and it only took a few seconds to fly into the air.Soon I saw white clouds, and the fish belly in the east revealed a ray of morning light.

"Are you taking history?" one boy asked the other.

The other boy looked at the small screen in front of him, which played the movie "Edward Scissorhands".

Wei Wei said "hmm".

"Me too! Let me ask you a few questions."

"Watching a movie..."

"Don't be so boring! Compete a few rounds first!"

"The content of the Treaty of Shimonoseki?"

"Cut the island, lose money, open a port."

I probably asked some modern historical questions, and they were all four important treaties for the college entrance examination.

It has been more than four years since Wu Yitong, and he still vaguely remembers it.

"Why do you think Li Hongzhang is so pitiful? He has become a sinner through the ages."

"What's so pitiful about signing a traitorous treaty..."

Wu Yitong smiled on the side, all the truth can only be known by history. True and false, false and true, are all hidden behind time.

Traitor, or patriot.

who knows...
