Bu Tian Gang

A train to spring.

Even the destination is so appropriate: Changchun.

Sitting on the aisle in the winter solstice, I felt that my head might be caught by the door, so I chose a hard seat on a 32-hour train.

It was nearly midnight, and it was dark outside, with no view to see.

He didn't know when he fell asleep, and woke up from a small dream. He suddenly felt the need to urinate, and was about to get up to go to the bathroom. At this time, a man walked by him with a slightly bent back and gray hair.

The person entered the bathroom, and the door was locked immediately.

Winter Solstice was too lazy to go further to go to the bathroom, so he just sat still, waiting for the other party to come out, while playing mobile games bored.

Before he came out, he expected that the network data on the train would be used a lot, so he bought an 8G data package specially for this purpose. As soon as he started the game, someone called to form a team on the World Channel, so he immediately joined it and finished the team. Looking at the time again, half an hour has passed.

The bathroom door was still closed.

During the game break just now, he didn't forget to look up a few times. The person in front hadn't come out since he went in, and he didn't know what he was doing inside, but he actually stayed there for half an hour.

The winter solstice had to knock on the door.

Not only did he want to go to the toilet, but he was also afraid that something might happen if the old man inside didn't come out for so long.

After knocking for a while, no one answered.

Could it be that he fainted inside?Thinking about the winter solstice, I feel bad.

The flight attendant who was watching the night happened to pass by, so he hurriedly stopped the other party and explained the situation.

The flight attendant frowned when he heard that, and began knocking on the door to call for someone.

The winter solstice couldn't bear it anymore, so I had to trot all the way to the restroom at the other end, but the flight attendant was still knocking on the door when I came back.

He realized something was wrong.

Under this kind of movement, as long as the person inside is not unconscious or deaf, he should be able to hear it.

The flight attendant apparently also noticed the problem. She used the walkie-talkie to find another flight attendant and came to open the door with the key.

As soon as the key arrived, the door finally opened.

There were not many people in the carriage late at night, and most of them slept on their seats, or played cards in twos and threes, but there were also a few people who were bored and came to watch the fun.

But at this moment, the onlookers were stunned.

Because there is no one in the narrow bathroom!

The flight attendant's first reaction was that Dong Zhi was lying, but then she felt something was wrong.

If no one really got in, why was the door locked?

The train is running at high speed, and the other party is less likely to jump off the train.

Even if he really jumped out of the car, the window of the bathroom is still locked!

Dong Zhi affirmed: "I saw that person go in with my own eyes!"

The flight attendant suspected: "Could it be that the other party came out and you didn't see it?"

But what if the door is locked?

Everyone looked at each other, and the flight attendant muttered, finding an answer for himself and others: "Maybe the lock is broken!"

Winter Solstice subconsciously looked behind his seat, there were not many people in this carriage, the lights were dim, some were sleeping, some were playing cards, some were watching movies with earphones on, but the old man he saw just now did not seem to be there .

Is it because the lights are too dim that I can't see clearly, or the other party has already gone to another compartment?

This is the first weird thing.

Winter Solstice returned to the seat and looked towards the toilet from time to time. Later, several passengers came in and out, which was normal.

There was no one sitting next to him, and the passengers on the opposite side also got off at the last stop. There were a few young people scattered behind who wanted to play Doudizhu. They saw that there were many vacancies here, so they came to inquire and invited Dongzhi to play cards together. .

Winter Solstice was originally a very lively person, but after the scene just now, he always felt strange in his heart and wanted to think about it by himself, so he politely declined, but he picked up the schoolbag sitting next to him and put it on the ground, generously giving up the empty seat come out.

A few young people smiled and came over with cards and snacks, and everyone got to know each other quickly, and Dong Zhi learned that they were students who were about to graduate and had an appointment to hang out together.

"I thought you were younger than us!" The tall and handsome boy was surprised when he heard that Winter Solstice had been working for several years.

Winter Solstice has a soft face and soft hair. This kind of appearance is very advantageous. When you are young, you look small, and when you are old, you still look small.

Especially his skin is whiter than girls.

The winter solstice is often said like this, and it has long been numb. He smiled and did not refute, but the scene of the old man walking past him just now unconsciously appeared in his mind.

Why do people go into the toilet and disappear out of thin air?Is there a different-dimensional passage in the toilet that no one can see?

Thinking about it, his head was bit by bit, and he dozed off unconsciously.

The girl playing cards next to her saw it and booed hurriedly, and everyone's chatting and laughing suddenly became quieter.

The sleeping person tilted his head against the car window, his eyelashes cast light shadows on his eye sockets, and even when he closed his eyes, his brows and eyes were crooked, as if he was smiling.

But this tranquility didn't last long. The train passed by a section of uneven track, and the slight vibration caused the back of the head to hit the window sill. The winter solstice ouched, and immediately woke up with his head covered, with a half-dream, half-awake, dazed and innocent face.

Seeing his appearance, the girl on the opposite side thought he was cute and funny, and couldn't help laughing out loud. The card in her hand fell to the ground and slipped to Dongzhi's feet.

He bent down to help pick it up, and when the card was flopped, it was a "ghost".

Winter Solstice suddenly had some inspiration, returned the card, took out a pen and paper from the backpack, and wrote and wrote on it.

"What is this painting?" The boy sitting next to him took a glance.

"Water ghost." He didn't lift his head, and the tip of his pen was flying fast.

A ferocious monster with all fours on the ground jumped out of the paper.

He didn't want to show off his skills on a whim.

Before embarking on this journey, Winter Solstice still had a job—a game artist who was even harder than a game programmer.

After working for three years, colleagues in the department ran away one by one, and finally even the main artist ran away. Dong Zhi, who had no ambitions, was promoted to the main art in a daze.

However, this is not because of his good luck or ability, but because the project manager of their department is a particularly difficult person. They are obviously making ancient Chinese mythological mobile games, and they insist on adding Q version elements.When the artist produced the Q print, the project manager began to dislike it for not being classical enough.

Just tossing back and forth three or four times like this, the artists had to work overtime for several months, and their hair was almost pulled out. They were almost not driven crazy by him, and one by one they switched jobs one after another.

Now the winter solstice couldn't take it anymore, when the other party asked them to change the drawing for the nth time, he threw the pen at the fat manager's face and resigned.

But resignation is resignation, he still has a few sketches to complete the handover, "Water Ghost" is a small dungeon boss in the game that will be released soon.

Thinking of this, he was in a good mood, humming a little song.

The boy seemed to be very interested, and asked again, "Is it just a water ghost?"

"The official name is water monkey." Dongzhi explained, "It is a special purpose to lure people into the water while they are swimming in the water, and find a substitute. It is a bit like the kappa in Japanese legends."

He used a paintbrush to carefully outline the water monkey's eyes. With these gloomy eyes, the overall appearance of the monster came out immediately.

The train shuttles fast, and the light and shadow changes brought by the window are projected on the water monkey, which seems to add a bit of gloom to the monster in the painting.

"It's not right to draw like this." The boy suddenly said.

What's wrong?Winter solstice doubts.

The other party stretched out his hand, pointed at the painted monkey's head, and said, "The top part of the head should be cut off, and the inside is still empty."

The winter solstice was puzzled, and asked casually: "Why is it empty?"

"Because it hasn't started sucking brains yet. Only after it sucks brains can it look more like a human, otherwise how can we find a substitute?"

The winter solstice was so goosebumps when he said it, he looked up.

The boy was smiling at him, with thick white teeth, indescribably weird.

"Do you think so?" Seeing that Dongzhi didn't answer, he leaned over and asked again.

For some reason, Dong Zhi suddenly noticed that there was a thin red mark on the forehead of the other party, extending from one side to the other, as if the head had been sutured.

Suddenly, his mouth was dry and his hands and feet felt weak.

When the opponent was about to get closer, he suddenly pushed the opponent away and jumped up.

Then suddenly opened his eyes!

Is it a dream?

Dong Zhi stared at the young people who were still playing cards in front of him, and was speechless for a while.

They were also taken aback by Dongzhi suddenly opening their eyes and sitting up straight.

"Are you okay?" the boy who had just talked to him in the dream asked.

Dong Zhi stared at his forehead.

There are a few pimples on it, but no red lines.

Look at the water monkey I drew before falling into a dream, the latter is looking at him quietly with a pair of eyes open.

"It's a little boring, I'll go for a walk."

Winter Solstice was upset, he stuffed a pen and paper into his backpack, made an excuse, picked up his backpack and went out, the boy hurriedly made way for him.

Everyone looked at his hurried back, a little puzzled.

Winter Solstice told himself not to think too much, but at the same time couldn't help but feel that the carriage was a bit evil.

After passing through two carriages, he finally found a hard-seat carriage with more people. When he saw an empty seat, he walked over.

"Hello, is there anyone sitting here?"

The bearded man who was playing a game quickly glanced up at him, and said, "No, sit down!"

The other party is five big and three rough, full of masculinity, and the sense of security of the winter solstice arises spontaneously.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that the game the other party was playing was exactly the one Dong Zhi played before he resigned.

The name of the game is "The Great Wilderness", with the "Shan Hai Jing" as the background, it combines gods, Buddhas, and monsters in the world together.

The income from the game determines the performance of the employees in the department, so in the past three years, the work has been accumulating, and the salary is not bad. During the winter solstice, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, and there is little savings after saving. In less than three years, he ran away in one year.

"This lineup can't beat Zhu Rong, you have to replace the summoned beast!" He couldn't help but say out.

Just because the team lost the team battle, the man was scolded bloody by the people in the team. Hearing this, he said angrily: "You do what you want!"

The winter solstice is also welcome, took the mobile phone and started to change equipment and summoned beasts, and then formed a team to download the dungeon. The movements were skillful and fluent. At first glance, he was a senior nerd without nightlife.

The man was in awe: "Big brother, which district are you in, can you split your thigh and give me a hug?"

The winter solstice couldn't laugh or cry: "We are in the same district, you can add me as a friend."

After coming and going, the two chatted. Dongzhi learned that the man's name was He Yu, and he also went to Changchun, but it was just a part-time trip.

He Yu complained: "Thousands of miles away, it's fine if you don't take the plane, and the leader won't let you buy a train ticket, and even let me take a hard seat!"

What kind of company is so picky!The winter solstice is speechless.

"Is your leader in this carriage? Be careful to be overheard by him."

He Yu rolled his eyes: "It's okay, he's on the soft sleeper side!"

Winter Solstice can't help but feel sorry for him, this company seems to be even more perverted than their department.

"Winter Solstice, your name is quite interesting." He Yudao, "Is your surname really Dong? Is there such a surname?"

Dongzhi smiled and said, "Of course, it's called Dongzhi because my surname is Dong. It's easier to remember. I just happened to be born on the day of Dongzhi. Isn't it a coincidence?"

He Yu looked up at him carefully, then nodded: "What a coincidence."

Chatting and playing games, the lingering fear just now gradually disappeared. Dong Zhi thought of his unfinished drawing, and took it out of his backpack again.

When He Yu saw the painting, he gasped, "Your painting is similar to the style of "The Great Wilderness"!"

Winter Solstice painted the water monkey's nails, without raising his head, he said, "Yes, I am the artist of "The Great Wilderness", and my online name is Dong Dong Qiang."

He Yu opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face, and Dong Zhi showed him the sketches and signatures he had stored on his phone before, and He Yu believed it.

"Great God, please accept my worship!" He hugged Dongzhi fiercely, "Oh my god, I touched a living God!"

The dozing person on the opposite side woke up and looked at them with an expression of "it turns out they are a couple of gays".

Winter Solstice couldn't laugh or cry, wanted to push him away, but He Heyu hugged him too tightly and couldn't push him away.

He Yu looked happy: "God treats me well. Although there is a mean and mean leader, he gave me a chance to meet the great god!"

He hurriedly took out a pen and paper from the schoolbag next to him, and said with staring eyes: "Master, can you sign some autographs for me?"

Winter Solstice: "How many do you sign?"

He Yu: "Can I sign one page per page?"

winter solstice:……

He looked at the blank notebook with at least a thousand pages, silently signed five names, then closed it and handed it back.

He Yu began to explain his admiration for the winter solstice: "I really like the heroines you drew, especially the fairy in the painting, that little lolita is so cute, the fans of the game even made a video, you can see Ever? The background music they used..."

The winter solstice is fun. It's not that he doesn't know that "The Great Wilderness" is popular, but he didn't expect that he would be sought after by fans. Apart from embarrassment, he feels a sense of relief that "the overtime work these years has not been in vain".

After typing up the draft of Water Monkey, and pointing He Yu a few game strategies, Dong Zhi said: "I'm a little hungry, I want to go to the dining car, do you have anything to eat?"

He Yu was very attentive to his idol: "I'll go buy it!"

Winter Solstice saw that he hadn't finished a round of pvp, so he said: "No need, I just want to go for a walk, you finish this team battle, or you will be scolded by your teammates again."

He Yu thought about it too: "Please God, please help me buy instant noodles, and I will transfer the money to you later on my mobile phone."

Winter Solstice smiled and said, "Let me invite you."

He Yu's eyes lit up: "Then can you also sign my name on the package of instant noodles?"

winter solstice:……

After getting rid of He Yu, the signature maniac, he walked towards the dining car.

Along the way, there were a few passengers like him who couldn’t sleep and walked around in the middle of the night, but most of them were dozing off or watching movies on their seats. Most of the lights in the car were turned off, and dim shadows walked forward with their footsteps. Fade in and out.

The train bumped slightly, and Dong Zhi had to slow down and hold on to the wall of the car.

Then he saw his own shadow raising his left hand and waving towards him, as if to say hello.
