Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

Xu Minglang was going to pay the bill with the bread when he vaguely heard the girl's screams. At first he thought it was an illusion, so he pricked up his ears to listen.The screaming hadn't stopped.

"Too bad." Xu Minglang put down the bread and ran away.

Zhou Xuerong shouted from behind: "Brother Lang!" and followed.

Going around layers of shelves, Xu Minglang and Zhou Xuerong arrived upon hearing the sound, only to see Ye Jiawen huddled in a big padded jacket, Xu Minglang helped the girl up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Jiawen kept her head down, trying to shrink herself into a ball.

Facing the collapsed girl, Xu Minglang patiently persuaded him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm fine now, you look up at me, don't be afraid of the girl."

Ye Jiawen raised her head carefully, with a terrified and forbearing expression, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she sobbed softly.

Xu Minglang has always disliked girls crying, especially the girl in front of him, although he was afraid but restrained himself from crying, it reminded him of Xue Yingying when she was young.

Thinking of her missing girlfriend, would she also cry silently in a strange place?

"Okay, okay, we are all here, there is nothing to be afraid of." Xu Minglang comforted.

Zhou Xuerong stood aside, staring at the two of them with a cold look in his eyes.

Miao Fang arrived just at the right time, seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help being stunned halfway through his words.

"I heard Ye Jiawen calling..."

Zhou Xuerong's tone was impatient: "What's the matter? Tell me clearly."

Ye Jiawen wiped away her tears: "Just now there was a sudden power outage, and I felt someone was in the dark, and then I used the light of my mobile phone to illuminate... I saw a lot of plastic dummies in front of me, and their eyes...they were all staring at me. I see... I was frightened."

The two noticed that there were several plastic dummies not far away, wearing clothes that were sold out of season. Obviously, the staff had not had time to sort them out and placed them randomly.

People can easily lose their sense of direction in the dark, especially in unfamiliar places.

Zhou Xuerong asked: "The dummy you saw just now, other than looking at you, is there anything weird about it?"

Ye Jiawen asked puzzled: "Strange thing?"

Zhou Xuerong paused for a moment, waved his hand, and signaled to forget it.Seeing this, Ye Jiawen swallowed her doubts back. Although she felt that the appearance of the plastic dummy was inexplicable, in this situation, she chose to obey the atmosphere and avoid troubles.

Xu Minglang helped Ye Jiawen up, turned around to get the bread and went to the cash register to pay, but Zhou Xuerong stopped him.Zhou Xuerong held an army green parka in his hand, handed it to Xu Minglang and said, "Take a padded jacket before leaving, it's very cold."

"No need, I'll be home in a while." Xu Minglang replied.

Zhou Xuerong stretched out the hand holding the coat, his eyes were firm, and he was determined not to give up until he reached his goal.

"It's really not necessary."

Xu Minglang thought to himself, he wouldn't buy a cotton coat that was promoted in a supermarket just for the sake of a two-hour drive.

Zhou Xuerong: "Trust me, you will need it."

Xu Minglang gave up communicating, turned around and was about to leave, but Zhou Xuerong stuffed the padded jacket into his arms.

"Trust me once, okay?"

Seeing Zhou Xuerong selling cotton-padded clothes so sincerely, those who didn't know thought he was a shopping guide in a supermarket, Xu Minglang said perfunctorily, "All right." He put on the cotton-padded clothes.

Then Zhou Xuerong picked up a black padded jacket and threw it to Miao Fang, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Put it on. If you don't want to die of cold."

Miao Fang just wanted to throw off the padded jacket, but Ye Jiawen persuaded him, "Put it on, it's really cold outside."

Miao Fang glanced at the wet clothes on his body, smacked his lips, put the black padded jacket on the hanger in disgust, took a dark gray padded jacket and put it on, saying: "The black one is too earthy."

Ye Jiawen took out three pairs of cotton socks from her pocket, and handed them to the three of them respectively, saying, "Wet socks are very uncomfortable."

The three of them took the socks, and Xu Minglang saw that Zhou Xuerong was wearing an army green padded jacket of the same color as his own, but it was only a long one. However, because of his height, the hem dangled awkwardly under the other's hipbone. It's not long.

"Where, where have I seen you, your smile is so familiar, I can't remember it for a while, ah - I saw you in my dream, in my dream..."

There was a sudden singing sound not far away, and several people froze in place for a while.

Xu Minglang immediately recognized that it was Teresa Teng's "Sweet Honey". This song was his childhood memory. When he was a child, he often lay in the quilt warmed by the sun, watching his mother's back dressing, while Listening to this song, I wondered how the plastic film in the tape machine made such a nice sound.

"How sweet is the sweet smile—it's you—it's you—it's you in my dream, I've seen you somewhere, your smile is so familiar—"

Miao Fang looked nervous: "Why do you suddenly play music when you are so good?"

Ye Jiawen's face was also pale, and she really couldn't be blamed for being sensitive. After all, in a sparsely populated supermarket, suddenly playing an old Shanghai-style song would really make people's imagination run wild.

"It's okay, the sound is coming from the electrical area."

Xu Minglang said this, but he still felt weird in his heart. It is reasonable to say that the electronic section of the supermarket will indeed play videos or songs to show the functionality of the products, but generally they will play popular songs to attract customers. It is still unfamiliar to most consumers.

Zhou Xuerong took the initiative to say: "Stand still, I'll go and have a look." Xu Minglang also wanted to follow, and the other two couldn't stay any longer, so they hurriedly followed.

The four of them followed the music to the place where they bought electrical appliances. Four or five LCD TVs of different sizes on the shelves were simultaneously playing the scene of Teresa Teng singing "Sweet Honey".

Before the few people could react, they saw the screens of several TVs start to blur, and the singing began to go out of tune.

It was also at this time that several people suddenly felt that there were no other customers in the supermarket late at night except them.

The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

Zhou Xuerong: "Don't look, everyone get in the car."

"Find Cao Jing and Brother Zhao first." Xu Minglang added.

"They probably got back in the car a long time ago." Zhou Xuerong's tone was cold, not in a hurry at all.

"Then I'll pay the bill..." Ye Jiawen said.

Miao Fang: "Oh, don't think about this for now."

For the sake of caution, Xu Minglang decided to go back to the car first.So they returned the same way and passed the clothing area just now. Miao Fang suddenly asked, "Hey? Where are the dummies?"

Xu Minglang turned his head to look, and saw that the corner where the dummy models were piled up just now was empty now.

Who moved the dummies?Will it be staff?Will this supermarket really still have staff?

Miao Fang shouted a few words, hoping that the noise could attract the attention of others, but there was no response.

Is there really no one else in this supermarket besides them?

Xu Minglang's scalp was numb, and the group of people ran faster and faster in the direction of the exit of the supermarket, almost running all the way, but when they saw the exit, they turned pale with shock.

The place that was supposed to be the exit was now tightly sealed by the iron curtain.

Xu Minglang ran forward to lift the roller blind, but it was of no avail. He could feel that this roller blind was different from ordinary anti-theft roller blinds. Both the material and thickness were thicker and heavier, even like an iron wall.Miao watched impatiently from behind, and regardless of embarrassing herself in front of Ye Jiawen, she ran over with a limp, trying to lift the roller blind with the strength of two people.Seeing the two of them struggling so much, Ye Jiawen also ran to help.

But Zhou Xuerong stood on the side, rubbing the strap on his shoulder with his right hand from time to time.His leisure caused Miao Fang's dissatisfaction, and Miao Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Bai Chang is so tall? Come and help!"

Xu Minglang tried twice more, and found that he couldn't lift it, so he kicked hard towards the roller blind.

He kicked and shouted: "Yu Haohuai! Are you outside?!"

Miao Fang asked: "What? Yu Haohuai is outside? Then he put down the curtain?"

Xu Minglang replied truthfully: "I don't know."

"*!" Miao Fang kicked the door angrily, his voice was loud.

Xu Minglang thought that there was another person behind him, and when he turned his head, he met Zhou Xuerong's gaze. There was a calmness in that gaze, which was quite different from Xu Minglang's panting and frowning expression.Xu Minglang didn't understand why Zhou Xuerong was so calm, the two looked at each other for a few seconds, until Zhou Xuerong shook his head inexplicably.

This movement did not escape Xu Minglang's eyes, but he still didn't understand what this movement represented, so he gave up overthinking.

The three gave up and decided to find another exit.

Zhou Xuerong took two packs of stewed dried tofu and snack cola from a nearby shelf, and gave all the dried tofu to Xu Minglang, and the rest to the remaining two.

Xu Minglang took it and said, "Thank you." He has always liked to eat dried tofu, and as soon as he tore open the package, he found that the dried tofu in his hand was his favorite brand. He had also eaten other brands of dried tofu in the market , but the one in his hand has the most bean flavor and firm texture, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, so he always looks for this brand to buy.

Why did you give him this brand of dried tofu?Is this a coincidence?

Xu Minglang chewed dried tofu, looked up at Zhou Xuerong, who was eating potato chips, his gaze fell on the ground, as if there was money on the ground.

Miao Fang suddenly took a sip of Coca-Cola: "Hey, why does this Coca-Cola taste so weird?" He looked at the Coca-Cola in his hand, trying to confirm the packaging.

"It's the original flavor, why does it taste like urine?"

Xu Minglang smacked his lips when he heard this, and felt that the taste of this dried tofu was a bit wrong, it seemed to be a little less salty and more sweet, and the texture was sour.

"Could it be a fake product, right? Chain supermarkets shouldn't, give me a taste of Coke." Xu Minglang waved his hand, took the Coke from Miao Fang and poured it into his mouth.

Miao Fang teased: "Hey, hurry up and drink urine."

After taking this sip, Xu Minglang almost spit it out. He thought that Miao was exaggerating, so he would drink it without believing in evil, but it turned out that this is not a cola, it is like cough syrup, it is bitter when it is not carbonated, and the aftertaste is still a bit irritating, don't think about it All 100% fake.

Seeing this, Ye Jiawen also dropped the food in her hand, fearing that she would spoil herself.

The four of them walked through various shelves, and they didn't see Cao Jing and Zhao Dongxiang, nor any staff members. The cashier was empty, but the silver light reflected by the light on the metal cashier was very conspicuous.Even though the scene was very abnormal, a few people didn't bother to pay attention to it, because they all saw the shop behind the cashier. Generally speaking, supermarkets have two exits. The semicircle surrounds the supermarket, which means that as long as you can go around, you can find another exit.

With a goal, several people trotted all the way.
