Penitent hand, trembling slightly

In the darkness, Ren Yue opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

She was like a stranded fish, breathing in the putrid air uncontrollably.

She seemed to have a nightmare, in which there were faint spots of light, and someone called her name over and over again, which made her a little scared, but felt that she had nowhere to escape.

And as she woke up, those light spots, those figures, and those voices all faded away like the tide, and all the traces on the beach were swept away when the tide ebbed, leaving only the palpitations in her dream.

There is no light in the house, the sky outside the window is blue-gray, and the end of the sky is cut by a straight golden line. Behind the golden line is a yellow-red sunset glow, indicating that the night is about to begin.

She forgot to close the door before falling asleep, and at this time she could directly see the window of the living room from the bedroom.The window in the bedroom can still see the magnificent and sad sunset, but the living room can only see a dark and cold night.

The moonlight casts the shadow of the window on the floor, and the faded grille on the window and the shadow of the pot pick on the window sill are stretched out, looking like monsters with teeth and claws.The old refrigerator continued to make a "buzzing" noise, noisy, but inexplicably reassuring.

She moved her nose and smelled the aroma of someone's food, and immediately felt a little hungry.

So she got up and turned on a light, making all the darkness and shadows in the room invisible, and a vague figure was printed on the window.

She raised her hand and closed all the curtains in the room, then took out a cold and dry steamed bun from the refrigerator, went to the kitchen to set up a pot and heated it casually, and finally swallowed it whole with a bowl of hot water .

The second hand on the dial is "clicking", singing an old song with the refrigerator.She turned on the TV, tuned a random channel, and looked at the weather forecast.

"At six o'clock this afternoon, the Paradise Meteorological Observatory issued a red warning for cold waves. Due to the influence of the cold air in Siberia, there will be large-scale snowfall from this evening to the day after tomorrow. After the snowfall, the thickness of snow in some areas will reach five to ten centimeters. I hope the general public is prepared to deal with extreme severe weather..."

The brisk voice of the announcer added a lot of vitality to the empty room. She listened carefully to the last sentence, and reluctantly turned off the TV until the music of "Fishing Boat Singing Evening" sounded.

"It's going to snow..." A hoarse sigh sounded, as if the owner of the voice hadn't spoken for a long time.

If it snows, business will be difficult.

Thinking of this, the phone rang suddenly, she froze for a moment, clicked on it, and then put the receiver to her ear.

"Hello? Rabbit?" said the person on the other end of the phone, "I have a job, do you want to take it?"

"What's the matter?"

"A man with a family and a family. I don't know the specific situation. You have to meet him and talk to him in person."

"When?"

"Tomorrow night, six o'clock."

"Okay, see you at the old place."

"That--"

The other party wanted to say something, so she hung up the phone directly.

She sat at the table for a while before starting to move again—first she turned off the light, then moved back to the bedroom step by step, covered herself with the quilt, and lay on it straight like a zombie.

Thick darkness enveloped her, the window was clearly nailed, but the curtains still fluttered, and a few dark shadows were reflected on them, and the shadows swayed like water ripples, as if swimming on the curtains.

"Crack clap."

A strange sound came from under his head, as if someone was scratching the bed board with his nails.Her bed is a kind of box bed, the bottom is directly connected to the ground, the middle is a separate storage box, and the top is the bed board on which she sleeps, and there is a thin layer of quilt.

"Crack clap."

The same sound came from underfoot, maybe a nest of mice grinding their claws, or something else.

In the past, she might have jumped out of bed immediately, then got out of bed and turned on the light, and then carefully lifted the bed board to see if there was anything under it.

But now she is used to such nights, so her heart is always calm, and she even slowly closed her eyes.

In the darkness, a spectacular concert is unfolding.

There was a shrill and piercing sound of wind outside the window; the sound of tables and stools being moved upstairs; the people next door banging on the wall; I don’t know who was chopping dumpling stuffing at night, knocking the cutting board loudly.

Unfortunately, however, she lives on the top floor and has no neighbors next door.

Maybe it was because she slept too much in the afternoon, but she didn't feel sleepy at this time.The cold wind seeped in from the thin wall, which gave her a headache.

She opened her eyes and met the eyes of the woman sleeping on her ceiling.

From the beginning to the end, she could only see the lower half of the woman's face clearly.She has pale skin, red lips like red roses, and the scarlet fangs in her mouth, which seem to be able to easily bite through the hardest human skull.

The woman showed her a smile, so she returned one, and the two shared the house peacefully without any disputes.

Ren Yue turned over to avoid the red water dripping on her bed.

I have to wash the sheets tomorrow.She thought so.

She is not afraid of such a scene, so what is in the dream?Why makes her so frightened?

With such doubts in her arms, she finally fell asleep again, and seemed to have the same dream again.

"rabbit……"

Someone called her by her nickname, because her voice was too ethereal and she couldn't tell the difference between male and female.

Then came the flames that soared into the sky, the blood that bloomed, and... endless despair.

She sat up from the bed again, cold sweat running down her cheeks.

The dazzling sunlight shone on her body, but it didn't bring her any warmth.

It was already dawn, but she was as tired as if she hadn't slept all night—or she had been running all night in her dreams.

Although she didn't open the curtains, it didn't matter, she saw the snow outside at first sight.

Pure white snowflakes are falling from the sky, the whole world is gray and misty, a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the ground and roofs, and the official snow-cleaning vehicles on the road are buzzing .

She rubbed her forehead and went to the bathroom with the bed sheet stained red.

There were a few red letters printed on the mirror. She didn't look carefully and wiped it off with the bed sheet.

The water in the sink was refilled, and the marks on the mirror disappeared without a trace.

She stared blankly at the clean mirror, and raised her right hand to trace the gorgeous facial features of the person in the mirror inch by inch.

For some reason, she always felt that the people inside were both strange and familiar.

The person in the mirror tilted his head, and his gaze fell behind her.

Instead of looking back, she rolled up her hair and continued staring at the mirror, brushing her teeth and washing her face. After cleaning herself, she lowered her head and picked up the laundry detergent, soaked the sheets in the water, and said good morning to the person in the mirror.

It wasn't a very good morning.

The fridge was out of food, which meant she had to go out and do the shopping.

She didn't want to go downstairs because she was the number one slacker and because she didn't have any particularly thick clothes.

It is rare for this city to usher in winter, but it does not mean that it is rare, and the weather forecast reminded it two days ago.It's just that she is too lazy to go out.

She looked in the closet, picked out two of the thickest coats, wrapped herself in three layers, and went out with the money and the key.

The snow that had entered half of the corridor from the patio, when the wind blew, salt-like snowflakes flew up, making her feel a little cold.

The doors of the neighbors' houses are still closed, and it is not known where they fled.The door diagonally opposite was suddenly opened, a head poked out to look at her, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, I lived another day."

Ren Yue hooked the corner of his mouth, which was his response.

The man said again: "What are you going to do? It's snowing so hard, don't you feel cold wearing some clothes?"

Ren Yue replied concisely: "Buy some necessities."

The man said: "I have a down jacket here that I don't need, can I give it to you?" He stretched out his hand and handed over a cotton jacket.

Ren Yue picked it up and said thank you lightly.

The man's face turned red immediately: "No...you don't need to be so polite, you can go and do your work!" After finishing speaking, he closed the door shyly, and the wind when the door closed blew a small snowflake.

Ren Yue took the down jacket, lined up and went downstairs on the escalator.

There are always many people on the escalator side, because the elevator is a closed space, which cannot give people a sense of security.Fewer and fewer people take the elevator, and everyone would rather climb the stairs than take the elevator. Later, the government simply stopped the elevator, leaving only the escalator and the safety escape staircase.

After walking out of the corridor, a gust of wind instantly chilled her heart.

She threw the unusually heavy down jacket into the trash can against the wind, and then walked to the market "creaking" on the snow.

There are many people in the market, selling clothes, food, tools and weapons.

She first went to buy a brand new down jacket for herself, checked it several times in front of the store to make sure it was all right, and then paid for it, then turned around and bought some food.

Maybe it was because she bought too many things, which made people think she was a rich man. On the way back, she was stopped by two young and strong men.

One of the men held her shoulders, and the other snatched the food from her with a playful smile and carried it by himself.

The one with her arms around her said, "Sister, is she out shopping by herself?"

Ren Yue let him lead her away, and gave a faint "hmm".

"You are so pretty, my family can rest assured that you will come out by yourself?" He reached out to touch her face while talking.

Ren Yue turned her head to the side and said flatly, "I just finished washing my face."

She was just stating the facts, but the man seemed to have been poked in the wound, and the flames of anger ignited in his eyes: "Stinky bitch, do you want to drink a toast?"

"Both of you." Ren Yue looked forward with drooping eyelids, with a sleepy expression on his face, but the movements of raising his legs were clean and neat.

The eyes of the two blurred, severe pain came from the abdomen, and the sky spun in an instant. Before they could figure out the situation, they lay down in the snowdrift one after another. They could only hold their stomachs and groan in mourning.

Ren Yue picked up the plastic bag on the ground, looked at them indifferently, and said, "Thank you for sending me off, I'm home."

The author has something to say: Children, do you have many question marks?
