Age of Behemoths

At the end of September 2012, the bright sun is often not a good thing, especially when it has been sweltering for more than two months and there is no rain.The weather forecast said rain every day, but the rain just kept coming.But after such a long drought, the air is not very dry, and my lungs feel damp when I take a breath. During the day, people seem to be steamed in a cage.

Especially now that it's not the height of summer, the end of September should have been near autumn, and the weather across the country, no, globally, is even more abnormal.

But in such a ghostly weather, in a small house with no air-conditioning and a total area of ​​less than [-] square meters, a man wrapped himself tightly in a quilt, and his sweat flowed like a small river But still trembling.

It's unlucky for people to drink cold water, but Shen Yifei's teeth were not blocked by cold water, he just caught a cold in this weather.

Last night, he thought it was just a small cold caused by the unevenness of heat and cold. He took out two cold medicines and lay down on the bed to sleep and he was fine.As a result, the couple upstairs had a quarrel in the middle of the night—the windows of the house with the anti-theft fence are of course opened in this kind of weather, one can imagine how powerful the "public release" function is—the man yelled at the woman, I don’t know where The family dog ​​also barked...

In the morning, Shen Yifei felt in a trance that his head seemed to swell into a big pumpkin, his nose had completely lost its sense of existence, as if his face was covered with a piece of clogged wood, his throat was dry and painful, and it took a long time to swallow saliva. He also bit his tongue because of the trembling of his upper and lower teeth. Although it was a small bite, it was painful enough.

Enduring the discomfort, Shen Yifei called and went to the fast food restaurant where he worked to ask for leave.After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and lay down on the bed: "Manager..." Can you say that the manager's voice is too nice?The dazed Shen Yifei fell asleep.When he opened his eyes again, he was awakened by a smash, but it wasn't the door smashing, but something was hitting his head, knocking on every pain-sensing nerve of his!

Shen Yifei originally thought he was quite resilient. A few years ago, he fell while riding his bicycle on a rainy night and broke his head. He went to the hospital for stitches but did not ask the doctor to give anesthesia because he still had to ride his bicycle home.After the stitches were finished, both he and the doctor were drenched in sweat, but the doctor was nervous and he endured the pain.When he regained his strength, Shen Yifei found out that he gritted his teeth too hard during the stitches, and his gums were bleeding. However, he survived after all.

That was also the most intense pain Shen Yifei had ever endured, but it was incomparable to the pain at that time and now.

In particular, I can still count the stitches, one stitch and two stitches, there is always time to finish.But now, it didn't take long for Shen Yifei's head to change from as if someone had smashed it to as if someone had cut it with a knife.Every minute and every second, the pain did not decrease slightly, Shen Yifei covered his head and hummed hoarsely, even thinking of hitting his head against the wall.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Yifei seemed to be fished out of the water, and the pain was slightly relieved.He got up from the bed and decided to go to the small clinic downstairs - in case the pain started again after a while, Shen Yifei didn't want to hit himself against the wall and die in a moment of confusion because he couldn't bear it...

After staggering to the bathroom and washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Shen Yifei felt tired all over his body, and his eyes were still a little blurry.Slowly shaking his head twice, Shen Yifei frowned and walked out of the bathroom, took out a bottle of mineral water frozen into ice bumps from the small refrigerator, and pressed it on his head.The ice made him shiver, but at the same time, the temperature made him very comfortable. His eyes could see things more clearly, and it also relieved his headache.

Pressing the frozen mineral water bottle, Shen Yifei staggered all the way downstairs.

For a patient who is suffering from a serious illness, it is very lucky that there is a community clinic opposite the community, and it is still open.As for the ambulance, Shen Yifei thinks that it is only for seriously ill patients whose life is in danger, and he obviously hasn't reached that level yet.

There are still two trees in the community. Although they have been drooping since spring and the leaves haven't grown much, they are shady after all.Shen Yifei tried his best to walk under the shade of trees and buildings, and he was not the only one walking like this.

——"Meow~" A black fur ball suddenly appeared under Shen Yifei's feet. If it wasn't for the fur ball's delicate cry, Shen Yifei would have stepped on it.

"Huh?" Taking two steps back as if drunk, Shen Yifei stood firm and looked down. He hadn't lived here for a long time, but he also knew that this was a pure black and very beautiful in the community, but he didn't like it. People are also extremely wary of wild cats, which are usually seen napping on the fence of the community at most.As long as people get a little closer, the cat will immediately disappear.

But it actually came to take the initiative to get close to itself?Shen Yifei blinked, wondering if he was hallucinating from a fever.But when he opened his eyes, the cat was still there, leaning on his ankle like a domestic cat, with a satisfied expression like a smiling face on his face, rubbing against Shen Yifei's calf with its back.

Shen Yifei couldn't help laughing at the performance of the cat. He is also a person who likes small animals, but because the family situation does not allow it, he has never been able to have an animal companion.However, the cat who was so defensive suddenly got so close to him... Shen Yifei pressed the mineral water bottle with one hand, and began to dig out his pocket with the other hand. He wondered if there was something on his body that the cat could smell?

Although some cat lovers used steamed fresh fish, they couldn't bribe this big black cat.

And after digging around, Shen Yifei really took out a small bag of fish floss, embarrassing... There was a black line on Shen Yifei's forehead, because he didn't know when he stuffed this thing in his pocket.However, looking at the production date, it hasn't expired yet.

"Meow~~" The cat stopped rubbing, and started patting Shen Yifei's sandal-wearing feet with its small black paws with its nails tucked away.

The fluffy touch makes people feel very warm.Shen Yifei squatted down, because he needed two hands to tear open the package, so he tilted his head, and the mineral water bottle was clamped under his neck.The water vapor outside the bottle and Shen Yifei's own sweat flowed down Shen Yifei's chin, crossed his Adam's apple, stayed for a while on the collarbone not covered by the round neck of the T-shirt, and continued to flow deeper.

The two teenage girls who stopped only when they saw the cat now stared fixedly at Shen Yi and whispered.

Although Shen Yifei's hair is messy now, and his face is too pale, but his eyes are big and energetic, his eyebrows are thick, his lips are a little thin, his face is a little thin, and he has a beautifully curved chin—no matter how old he is. No matter which angle you look at, he is definitely a handsome young man.What's more, he is neither a beer belly nor a man with ribs. Even if his jeans and T-shirt are very loose, he can still see his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Shen Yifei didn't pay attention to the sight from others, he was concentrating on feeding the cat.The cat also happily started to lick the fish floss that Shen Yifei had sprinkled in the corner, and after a couple of licks, it would come over and dawdle affectionately at Shen Yifei's feet.Shen Yifei was surprised, so this cat really likes to eat fish floss?However, it can smell it even through a vacuum, its sense of smell is too strong.

The back of the black cat shone like satin in the sun. Shen Yifei couldn't help stroking its warm back twice, then grabbed the water bottle and pressed it on his forehead, and stood up again.But... Shen Yifei rubbed his forehead, it was not an illusion, but now there was really only a slight tingling in his head, and the feeling of chills disappeared completely.

This is because he breathed fresh air, is it the effect of ice?Is it because you did something good?The strange coming and going of the illness made Shen Yifei think wildly, but he still had to go see the illness, because the pain just now was so unforgettable.

"Goodbye, little cat." After touching the cat's soft back again, Shen Yifei walked out of the community.

"Meow~meow~" The cat followed behind Shen Yifei for a while.

"Don't follow." Shen Yifei waved at it, but if the big black cat was still so close to him the next time he met it, Shen Yifei would be willing to take it home.Obviously, this cat hits it off with him. Although the house is small, it is still possible for one person and one cat to live there.

The cat seemed to understand, and it meowed softly twice. It seemed a little lost and stopped in place, watching Shen Yifei's figure turn a corner and disappear.The two girls who were staring at Shen Yifei before also leaned over to touch the cat at this time, but it was completely different from when they were facing Shen Yifei. They just got a little closer, and the black cat rushed to the corner with a loud sound, and jumped. , jumped onto the wall, and disappeared after a while.

The girls were a little lost, but also left.But as soon as they left, the cat appeared again. It sniffed left and right, and quickly ran behind the debris pile in the middle of the two buildings, where it found a fat and tender mouse.That's a big meal for a feral cat.

However, just as the cat approached, the mouse's big belly suddenly wriggled violently. The cat was startled, and immediately jumped back two steps.It paws on the ground, looking at the mouse warily.

Next second! "Bang!", the mouse's stomach exploded!Two things that hadn't grown hair yet sprang out of their bellies. Their bodies were sticky with the blood and body fluids of dead mice. They looked similar to mice in appearance, but their heads were rounder, and their forelimbs were thicker than those of house mice. Stout, with longer and more ferocious-looking claws.

"Meow!" The cat screamed and ran away.The two just came out of their stomachs. I don't know if they were mice. They didn't care about the escaped cat. They squatted on the ground and started to eat the flesh and blood of the mouse that seemed to be their biological mother...
