There is a lucky cat in the dream

Chapter 10
The two supported each other and stumbled up the stairs.

Old-fashioned residential buildings always pile up a lot of sundries in the aisles, and Ye Chixu hopes to find some combustibles among these sundries. It is best if there are wooden strips.

The stairwells of the old-fashioned residential buildings are illuminated, and the wall at the corner between the two stairs is made into a diamond-shaped hollow pattern. The rain from outside fell in, forming a small dark wet mark on the concrete floor.

"Maybe there is a light, I'll go look for it." Yechixu helped Lin Xiaolang up to the door of the second-floor household, and asked her to grab the railing and fumble along the wall between the two houses. "Most of the stair lights in old residential buildings are It’s all in the middle, mostly cords or buttons…”

She fumbled horizontally, then tiptoed and stretched out her hand to probe upwards, this time she touched a small rope end.

"I think I found it." Ye Chixu jumped up and tugged.

The "click" pull cord switch sounded, but the stair lights didn't come on.

"There is no one living in such an old residential building. Is there no power supply?" Lin Xiaolang asked.

Ye Chixu walked to her side again, and while pulling her to continue walking up, he said, "Maybe, but it's always good to have a switch. It may be that the one here is broken. Let's go upstairs and have a look."

"Since there is no light, why should we go upstairs?" The dark environment always made Lin Xiaolang feel uneasy. She pulled on the railing and was unwilling to go up any further.

"I lived in an old residential building. I think there may be debris accumulated upstairs... We might be able to find wooden sticks and strips or something." Yechixu explained in a low voice.

"How about...I'll wait for you here, you go up and have a look?" Lin Xiaolang suggested, "I can't see, this will delay the progress."

In fact, I can’t go out even if it’s raining outside...

Ye Chixu thought about this, and felt that she might be afraid of the dark and didn't want to go up. People are timid about things that they can't control.

So she said warmly to Lin Xiaolang: "Then wait for me here. I will come down soon."

"Okay." Lin Xiaolang grabbed the railing and groped to sit down, "Come back soon."

Ye Chixu nodded, and thinking that she couldn't see, he said, "Okay, I'll try my best. If there is light upstairs, I will come down to pick you up."

"Okay." Lin Xiaolang grabbed the railing and tried to cling to it, as if seeking a support.

Ye Chixu looked at Lin Xiaolang who was huddled together in the dim light and thought: "There are still weaknesses, and they don't seem to be that strong."

She pulled the railing and counted the stairs and quickly climbed up. Every time she reached a residential floor, she fumbled on the wall where there might be switches and tried to turn on the lights, but none of them turned on.

"Huh...huh...physical strength...going out...need to exercise..." Ye Chixu gasped while holding on to the railing.

She finally climbed to the seventh floor, which was also the last floor with residential floors.

"If there are no wooden strips or lights on this floor, I can only try to go up to the roof to have a look, and I can try my guess just now." Ye Chixu groped along the wall, and this time the light rope It was even shorter, and she tried to step on her feet, but she could only touch the loose tassels hanging down from it.

Ye Chixu vaguely felt that the light could be turned on.

She couldn't pull it on her tiptoes, so she had to touch the wall and jump up, but every time she passed the pull rope.

The sound of thumping landing echoed in the empty stairwell and was amplified infinitely.

Lin Xiaolang who was still waiting on the second floor became more and more nervous.

"What are you doing!" She raised her face and asked upstairs.

Ye Chixu also stopped when she heard her call, leaned on the railing and lowered his head and shouted: "I'm pulling the lamp, I think this can light up."

"Then be careful!" Lin Xiaolang yelled, "If it doesn't work, come down quickly! Have you found the wooden stick?"

"Not yet! I plan to go to the rooftop to have a look!"

"It's still raining strangely outside, don't go out!" Lin Xiaolang stopped.

Ye Chixu didn't respond to her this time, as long as the rooftop is available, she will definitely go out and have a look.

She adjusted her mentality, took a deep breath, and jumped up.

caught!
"tick"

"Boom"

Two sounds sounded one after another.

From the electric lights on the seventh floor, there was a faint buzzing sound.

The light flickered twice and made a soft "pop".

The dim light was lit above Ye Chixu's head, casting a light.

"It's on!" Lin Xiaolang exclaimed from downstairs, followed by the sound of her hurried steps upstairs.

Ye Chixu quickly turned his head and leaned down to look downstairs. Those floors with electric lights that had been switched just now were all lit up!

"Is there still such an operation?" Ye Chixu exhaled, and now she was relieved that the efforts just now were not in vain.

She plans to go up another floor. There are no residents on the 8th floor, and there is usually a stairwell. Residents on the 7th floor often pile up some waste in this stairwell, usually broken furniture or something.

But this step made her feel the pain from her ankle.

"Tsk, maybe the landing posture just now was not right, and I stomped my ankle." Ye Chixu turned his ankle, felt that there was no major problem, and climbed upstairs as planned.

"Don't go up!" Lin Xiaolang's panting voice was getting closer, she was trying to climb the stairs, and she said that she could walk on the unlit floors with the light from upstairs and downstairs.

"There may be furniture on the 8th floor!" Yechixu tried his best to ignore the strangeness in his ankles and took two steps at a time.

Turning the corner, she saw piles of discarded furniture.

"There is wood here on the 8th floor!" Ye Chixu exclaimed excitedly.

"Okay! Then don't go out!" Lin Xiaolang hurried up when he heard that she had found the wood.Even though she is very tired now, this is already the fifth floor and she will be able to answer Ye Chixu soon.

"Squeak~"

The sound of the old wooden door being pushed open was particularly obvious in the empty stairwell, and it kept amplifying in Lin Xiaolang's ears.

"Don't go out!" She screamed, let go of the railing she had been holding on to, and ran up explosively.

At this time, Ye Chixu had already stood on the rooftop.

The drizzle had already turned heavy and wet her semi-dry sportswear in a short while.

The feeling of numbness gradually appeared, and the scene lit by the lights in the stairwell began to blur, gradually developing into darkness.

"You're crazy!" Lin Xiaolang appeared at the door of the rooftop, dragging her back regardless of the danger of getting wet.

Ye Chixu leaned against the staircase door and waited for the numbness to pass before she said, "I didn't."

"Didn't you run into the rain and stand there stupidly? I told you not to go out." Lin Xiaolang was a little angry at her attitude.

In fact, if you don't come to pull me, I'm ready to come back.

Ye Chixu thought so, but didn't speak.

After all, Lin Xiaolang was also kind.
