Mountains and seas close at hand

Song Banyan held the cold copper handle and pressed it down slowly.The shaft turns and the bolt retracts - "click".

The hallway lights came on.

Song Banyan pushed the door open a palm-width gap, and took a look outside. There was no one in the lonely corridor, only gusts of cold wind scrambled to squeeze into the room.After two or three seconds, there was still no movement behind her. She pushed the door open with a bang and strode out.

The heavy soles of the hiking boots hit the marble floor, and the clanging and forceful sound made Bai Xunhua frowned, and he didn't let go until he heard the door close gently.

She picked up her phone and checked the time—12:13.

At this time, the community is already completely quiet.Song Banyan stood in front of the elevator door and listened for a while, only to hear a dog bark from somewhere.She stared blankly at the elevator buttons until the sensor light above her head went out before turning and leaving.

Because the footsteps were too light, the voice-activated lights in the corridor did not turn on, so Song Banyan frowned uncontrollably as he walked down the eleven steps slowly.She stood stiffly on the landing between the stairs, endured it for a while, and finally turned her head to look up - in the dark corridor, there was no sound at all.

After confirming that Bai Xunhua would not come out to save herself, she clenched her teeth suddenly and snorted angrily.

"Humph!"

After humming, she was a little suspicious again, and hurriedly fumbled through the pockets of her clothes and trousers.After confirming that he really didn't bring anything, Song Banyan immediately felt aggrieved: I'm penniless, I don't have a mobile phone, and I don't have an ID card, so why should I go to sleep in the bridge hole?Xunhua must be reluctant!Certainly reluctant!Certainly reluctant!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, and she went down the slope to find an excuse for herself: She must have been angry for a while and didn't remember it, and she would come out to find me when she found out that I didn't bring anything.I can't run around, or if she can't find me, she will definitely think wildly, and then the misunderstanding will be even bigger... It's always like this on TV!

Song Banyan raised the corners of his mouth, and sat down on the steps calmly.She rested her knees on her elbows, supported her chin with her palms, and looked up out of the window, confidently waiting for Bai Xunhua to come out and lead her home.

Bai Xunhua sat quietly on the sofa, listening to the sound outside the door gradually disappearing, and raised his hand to cover the corner of the coffee table.She rubbed her thumb against the arc of the rounded corner, and lowered her eyes into memories.

At that time, she had just picked up Song Banyan, and she went to work as usual during the day, and they could only see each other at night.Song Banyan is very well-behaved, besides buying vegetables and cooking, he just sits on the carpet and watches TV.For this reason, Bai Xunhua specially bought a TV box so that she could have more choices.

Days passed, and although I had no clue about the illness, I opened the door when I got home from get off work every day-the lights were on in the room, and there was hot soup and rice on the dining table.Song Banyan sat cross-legged on the floor, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head and showed a bright smile: "Miss Bai, you are back! Didn't you work overtime today?"

Bai Xunhua tightened the corners of her lips, restraining the upward movement.

Song Banyan at that time was really like a child.One day when Bai Xunhua came home, he saw that she had a big bump on her head. After asking her several times, she refused to tell her, and finally he hesitated to speak out before going to bed.She watched TV during the day, and fell asleep on the carpet while watching it. When she woke up, she didn't pay attention, and hit the corner of the coffee table with a "bang".

Bai Xunhua tapped the tea table lightly with his fingertips, remembering the wound on Song Ban's cigarette butt, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The tea table has been changed, why is it always hurting?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still and picked up her phone - 12:17.

"It's been 5 minutes. Banyan doesn't have an elevator card, so he's almost gone downstairs." Bai Xunhua was still estimating the time in his mind, and he had already stood up and walked to the window.

The garden lawn between the two floors is cold and cold, only the guide lights on both sides of the cobblestone path emit faint yellow fluorescent light in the grass.

Walk from the stairs to the first floor, and next to the safe passage is the gate leading to the lawn in front of the building.Song Banyan didn't have an elevator card, so if he went down the stairs, he would definitely come out from here.

Bai Xunhua folded his hands on his shoulders, looked at the cobblestone path downstairs with a serious expression, and secretly comforted himself: he hesitated when closing the door, he must have regretted it.After a while, I will be kicking the lawn pitifully downstairs again, and I can't let the property find it again.Her temper comes and goes quickly, why should I be angry with her...it's so cold...she still has a head injury...

"Ah - chirp!"

Song Banyan rubbed his nose, turned his head and glanced upstairs in annoyance.She didn't bring her mobile phone, and she didn't know how long it had been, so she couldn't help comforting herself: It was estimated that only two or three minutes had passed, so don't be impatient, be quiet, don't be impatient.

Although she kept hinting to herself so much, she still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart. She was annoyed at her unscrupulous words and complained that Bai Xunhua couldn't come out to find her.He simply got up and paced back and forth on the platform, completely losing his usual confident composure.

Song Banyan walked back and forth on the small platform seven or eight times, and finally couldn't help but walk downstairs in anger.The heavy soles of the hiking boots slammed on the steps like drums of war, wishing to wake up everyone in the building.

Standing on the balcony, Bai Xunhua faintly heard footsteps in the corridor.With a heartbeat, she quickly walked into the hallway and opened the door.Naturally, there was no one outside the door, but there was a faint light coming from the stairway, and it was obvious that someone had just passed by not long ago.According to the timing of the voice-activated lights, it must be the tenant of this floor.

Bai Xunhua closed the door and walked towards the balcony, couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing.

Song Banyan didn't know that the fact that he couldn't bear to stand stupidly on the stairs had been exposed.I just felt that I was being slapped in the face for being sentimental, and I rushed downstairs in anger.Just about to step out of the gate, she heard a "ding dong" from the elevator behind her. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately turned around and walked over with a shy smile.

A girl with exquisite makeup came out of the elevator, but it was not Bai Xunhua.Song Banyan's face turned dark immediately, and he stood frozen in place.

The girl was coming out of the elevator, and she was also taken aback when she suddenly saw a person appearing beside her.She looked at Song Banyan suspiciously, and when she saw her outstanding appearance and temperament, she immediately relaxed her vigilance, thinking that she was a resident who went downstairs to get supper.

Song Banyan's gloomy face flashed by, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and he walked over briskly: "Hello."

Her gentle face, coupled with her gentle and modest voice, really made people feel good for no reason.Even though her friend was still waiting at the bar, the girl stopped and looked at her suspiciously.

Song Banyan looked at the urban beauty in front of him calmly, with a shy smile on his face, and said with some embarrassment: "Did you see the sign at the door? There are unknown people wandering around our community recently. You... so late , That, you have to pay attention to safety."

Song Banyan has an unrivaled talent for attacking strangers.She can keenly and unmistakably guess people's hearts and match them in the most appropriate way.

Human beings are always full of curiosity and desire to conquer things that they rarely touch.Having tasted too much sex under the lights and feasting, this kindness and concern from strangers is really like a handful of clear springs in the mountains.

The prey thought he was a hunter, the corners of his eyes were charming, and his red lips parted: "What about you? It's so late..."

Blurred and ambiguous gazes patrolled Song Banyan's face. She could see clearly in her heart, but her face was completely ignorant and frank. She pointed to her head and said, "The wound hurts so much that I wanted to buy a box of painkillers, but nothing came out. I went out without it."

After Song Banyan finished speaking, he lowered his head and scratched his forehead, and smiled embarrassedly.She pointed to the stairs behind her and said, "I'll go home and get my wallet. You, be safe." She turned and took a step, and turned around immediately before the people behind her spoke.

The strange woman brushed her hair with her hand, looked at her with a smile and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Banyan put one hand in his trouser pocket and pointed to the exit with the other: "Let's go together, I'll go and see if the pharmacy at the entrance of the community is closed."

Clumsy excuses can make people laugh, and they can also make people feel sentimental.The woman thought that Song Banyan was just looking for a reason to escort her, and felt a burst of pride in her heart.She was proud of her unisex charm, so she couldn't help feeling like a witch molesting a young scholar: "And then? Ask the little nurse in the pharmacy for credit?"

Song Banyan said with a straight face, "Then lend me twenty first."

"Pfft." The woman covered her lips and smiled, then let go of her hand and landed on Song Banyan's shoulder, "Twenty is not enough for a glass of water, besides, what should I do if you scammed the money and ran away?"

Song Banyan pursed his lips tightly and said, "Then lend me two thousand."

The woman raised her eyebrows and approached her, as if looking at something interesting, full of interest and teasing: "I can't bear to borrow even twenty, you want two thousand? Huh?"

Song Banyan replied seriously: "If the amount involved in the case reaches [-], you can file a case with the police, and the police will arrest me at that time."

The woman leaned on her shoulder and giggled, blew in her ear, and whispered, "Then tonight...I'm going to arrest you."

She spoke extremely slowly, like a beautiful snake spewing out letters.

Song Banyan curled his lips into a smile when he heard the words, squinted at her sideways, and said playfully, "Sorry, I have my own decision."

As she spoke, she stretched out a finger to push the woman away, and walked leisurely towards the stairwell, humming a little song.Song Banyan, who has regained his confidence, feels that his charm is still there, and he will definitely be able to sleep in bed tonight, and sleeping on the sofa is the next best thing!

Here Song Banyan was causing trouble, but Bai Xunhua was worried. Looking at the empty garden lawn, she picked up her mobile phone and made a call.

The bell in the guard room of the community rang, and the security guard on duty glanced at the caller ID, and quickly connected the phone: "Miss Bai, what happened so late?"

Bai Xunhua recognized the voice on the phone and said, "Hello, Uncle Wang, did anyone leave the community just now?"

"No." Wang Baoan was taken aback, and suddenly realized, "Is it Xiao Song? Did you bring her back from the psychiatric hospital? Is she better?"

Bai Xunhua's voice was ominous and perfunctory: "Well, Uncle Wang, please help me pay attention."

Wang Baoan quickly responded: "No problem, no problem, I will definitely not let her out of my house, it's good that Xiao Song doesn't get sick..."

Bai Xunhua hung up the phone, and immediately called the south gate security room, who also said that no one had left the community during this time.Bai Xunhua thought about it for a while, and guessed that Song Banyan was wandering around in the community at the moment. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and hurriedly changed her clothes to go out to look for it.

"Miss Bai."

Xiao Wu pushed open the door of the guest room, and said helplessly, "That... Brother Pan... I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on!"

Bai Xunhua felt bad when he heard it, and walked into the guest room without hesitation, only to see that the quilt on the bed was bulging into a ball, and the ball was still shaking vigorously.

She stepped forward to lift the corner of the quilt, and saw Pan Xiaohong curled up in the quilt, shaking like an electric shock.Bai Xunhua checked briefly, and asked Xiao Wu to help Pan Xiaohong: "I need to rush to the hospital, how long has he been like this?"

Xiao Wu struggled to carry Pan Xiaohong on his back, and said as he walked out, "It's been a while."

Bai Xunhua picked up the bag and keys, and stepped forward to open the door: "Sick things like illness should be discussed early. A minor illness will turn into a serious one, so don't be afraid to cause trouble for me."

"En." Xiao Wuzhong nodded emphatically, and carried Pan Xiaohong on his shoulder.In fact, seeing that something was wrong with Pan Xiaohong at first, he turned over quickly and got up, but just as he was about to open the door, he heard Song Banyan and Bai Xunhua arguing outside.His parents divorced when he was young, and eating snacks was enough of the bitterness of living under the fence, and he really didn't dare to go out to make trouble.

Bai Xunhua raised his hand to guard the elevator door to let the two of them in, and immediately pressed the button for the first floor.She has no time to take care of Song Banyan at this moment, let alone knows that she will not wrong herself.

The homeless stray dog ​​in the middle of the night, full of anger, is lucky not to bite.

Thinking of this, Bai Xunhua couldn't help but smile.At this moment, there was a "ding dong", and the elevator door opened.

Song Banyan climbed upstairs panting, and strode past the elevator.Standing in front of the door, she messed up her hair, turned up her collar wrongly, took a deep breath, brewed up her emotions, and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Song Banyan stared at the closed door in disbelief, the anger in his heart surged like a prairie fire, and the seven orifices were burned to the point of smoke.She lifted her foot and kicked hard on the door, the door trembled suddenly and made a deafening noise—"Bang!"

Song Banyan didn't realize that his emotions had lost control, and kicked the door hard again.The door was safe and sound, but she suddenly had a splitting headache, and she loaded it up with an unsteady center of gravity.

"...Eh!" Song Banyan leaned against the wall, clutching his forehead.The severe pain made her eyes go black, but her mind cleared up.How could Bai Xunhua be so naive as not to open the door, he must be not at home.

Where can I go so late?

Most likely just go out and find yourself!

Song Banyan grinned, but the smile suddenly froze in the next moment.She glanced at the closed door, and slowly frowned: I just ran away from home, and I was not in any danger.According to my dear Miss Bai's usual style, she will definitely not drag Xiao Wu and Pan Xiaohong up from the warm blanket just to find me.

Song Banyan knew Bai Xunhua as Bai Xunhua knew her.But she is not a fairy after all, and she never expected that it was Pan Xiaohong's sudden emergency.I can only guess that something strange happened to Ji Bao, otherwise why would Bai Xunhua drag Xiao Wu and Pan Xiaohong along.

After she speculated like this, she suddenly became energetic, and walked towards the stairs with her hands behind her back, bragging secretly in her heart: If you go first, what can you do, you still have to rely on me to do it at the critical moment.

She was in the right mood at the moment, and she chanted clearly: "Looking up at the astronomy, looking down at the geography, taking advantage of the wind, making plans, pushing three chess pieces, moving nine palaces, checking gossip... who is it!"

"All these are common tricks, tired and hard to rely on."

A long-handled umbrella protruded from the corner, black lace-up leather shoes went up the steps, and Lancinate calmly stood in front of Song Banyan.

If Bai Xunhua was there, she would be able to detect the abnormality from Lancinate's pair of full-face leather and silk placket shallow-cut Oxford shoes.This is a dress shoe second only to OperaPumps opera single shoes, appearing here shows Lancinate's attitude towards this meeting.

Lancinate raised her hand to reveal the French cufflinks, took off her top hat and put it on her waist, and said with her jaw: "We meet again."

Song Banyan noticed the change in Lancinate's clothes, but didn't understand what it meant.Even so, the alarm bells were already ringing in her heart, and her face was naturally friendly as if she met a friend: "It's like three autumns since we don't see each other every day, and we haven't seen each other for half a year."

Lancinate took a look at her, then at the door behind her, and took out a long, flat box from his coat pocket.

Song Banyan was overjoyed, and took the wooden box with a smile: "Thank you so much for making a special trip in the middle of the night. Thank you for your kindness. I will treat you to dinner another day."

Lancinate held the wooden box and did not let go, but said meaningfully: "You are a smart man."

Song Banyan was determined to win the lychee, so she pulled hard and snatched the wooden box away.Unexpectedly, Lancinate let go at the right time, Song Banyan exerted too much force, staggered and almost fell down.

Lancinate raised her hand and put on her top hat, looked down at Song Banyan, and stared at her for a long time: "How many times have you asked yourself in your heart?"

who am I?

where am i from?

Where am I going?

Why am I different from others?

why do i exist

......

Song Banyan's face froze, and he looked at her coldly: "You said this on purpose?"

of course not.

At this moment, Song Banyan knew very well that Lancinate definitely did not come here to give Licao on purpose, something must have happened!
