After all, where have I seen you

The crowd continued to follow Sato Ryota and Kim Jung-woo downhill slowly.

Due to the large area of ​​the lake, the distant mountains around it are easily underestimated by those standing on the grassland side.Just like the mountain like Mount Fuji that "connects" to the lake in the distance, who knows how high it is?Although from the perspective of everyone's current sight, it is not as tall as a tree.And those houses are like children's model toys.

Jin Ran trotted forward and asked Ryota Sato: "You said this is the North Island. Could it be that there is a South Island on the 16th of the New World?"

Jin Zhengyu, who was standing next to Sato Ryo, turned his head when he heard the sound, he gave Jin Ran a glance, and then walked away quickly like a god of plague.Sato Ryota looked at his back and grinned.Jin Ran was puzzled, wondering why Jin Zhengyu's attitude towards him suddenly turned 180 degrees.

Sato Ryota tried his best not to laugh, and answered Jin Ran solemnly: "Yes, there is also a South Island, but the area is only one-third of the North Island. But the South Island is also as big as Zhang County."

"Then there are three Zhang counties here? Is it as big as Jiangyan City?"

"That's right, so you can act as if you have come to live in a new city."

"City? But I feel that we will soon go to the trees to pick fruit, go down the river to catch fish, and climb mountains to chase hares! How does it look like a city?"

"Is the countryside okay?"

"Our countryside is not so good."

It is close to the lake, standing here, different perspectives are different beauty.The house near the lake, the big tree surrounding the house, the random stone steps piled up in front of the house under the big tree... all made Jin Ran feel at ease, as if he had entered a paradise, the air carried the fresh smell of his childhood living in the countryside, but There is no mess like the countryside.

It was the first time that Jin Ran came up with the thought: perhaps it would be a good choice to live here.

He suddenly remembered that there was a college roommate with a difficult family, who managed to get into the police academy just like him.

There was a time when he drank a lot with him. They were the type of people who usually don't talk about their families. That time they opened up and talked a lot.In the end, the roommate said in a choked and weak voice: "Jin Ran, do you know what kind of families there are in the world?"

Jin Ran replied without thinking: "Happy and unhappy." Just like the famous saying: Happy families are similar, but unhappy families are different from each other.

"Where are the children? What are the two types of children?" the roommate asked urgently.

Jin Ran couldn't give an answer right away this time.

The roommate himself answered: "There are two kinds of children. When they grow up, when they encounter things and have to make choices, the first type will think 'there are still parents anyway', and the second type will think 'but there are still parents'." Then he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, "I belong to the second category. I want to study my favorite major, I want to indulge a little, don't be so tired, don't work so hard. I want a pair of Nike sneakers , I want an adidas dress... no matter what I do, I always think about it, but I still have my parents, I not only have my parents, I also have a brother who is more than ten years younger than me. So I have to work hard , go to college, do the most stable job, and make money to support the family as soon as possible.”

Jin Ran looked at his roommate with a wry smile, and he himself was very envious of those who would think "there are still parents anyway" no matter what they do.However, he is not even qualified to have the idea of ​​"but there are still parents", because his parents are long gone.Is this situation better or worse for him compared to his roommate?

For many people, family is like a booster that helps kids, or at least a safe haven.For some people, the family is like a big rock, tied to the child's body through the thread of blood, and it is difficult for the child to drag it along for the rest of his life.

After Dad left, there was nothing behind Jin Ran.Human beings are animals with a family unit. When there is nothing behind him, even if it is a stone, Jin Ran wants to drag such a thing forward, even if it is slower and harder.Because that stone has temperature.

He said to his roommate: "In fact, there is a third type of children. They don't think about those two sentences when they are faced with a choice, but in the dead of night, they imagine themselves at this moment 'if there are parents'?"

Back at this time, Jin Ran looked around at the people in front of him, left and right, they were all abandoned by their families, and there was no safe haven or burden behind them.It was only fitting that he should settle down and start over in this strange place, just like himself.Anyway, I won't miss anyone, anyway, no one will miss me.

"Where are we going now?" Jin Ran asked.

Sato Ryota smiled evilly (at least Jinran thinks so) and said, "What's the hurry? We'll be there soon."

Sure enough, after walking for a long time, everyone went up to a wooden bridge: like many scenic spots, the kind of wooden bridge road built with wood on the lake, more than one meter wide.Everyone lined up and moved forward along the wooden bridge. The wooden bridge twisted and turned, and finally crossed the side of the lake and entered the gravel road in the jungle full of unknown plants.Although the road is not wide, it is neat and clean.After turning another corner, another group of buildings appeared.This time the style is not the previous residential type, but more like a large building like a church or some kind of assembly hall.In short, it can accommodate many, many people at a glance.

When he just turned the corner, a line of poem appeared in Jin Ran's mind: "Another village is brighter than the willows".But now he has changed it, it should be "the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another city".This place is too big, right? When I stood on the top of the grassland and looked down, there were obviously forests behind those houses, wasn’t it?How come it is such a wide and flat place?And so many large buildings.However, there are too many century-old trees here, and most of the houses have only one floor, which are shorter than the trees and are all covered up, so I didn't see them before.

The crowd in front began to enter those buildings one by one under the leadership. Due to the large number of people, Jin Zhengyu divided the crowd into several groups according to the order of first come, first come.Jin Ran walked in the front, was assigned to the front wave, and continued to move forward.Later, go directly into the building behind.

Passing through the gates, Jin Ran saw the signs written on each door plate in turn: "Department", "Language Department", "Film Department", "Funny Department"...The largest of these words is English, and there are fonts below Smaller Japanese, Chinese characters, as well as Korean and Thai.The "language department" is relatively normal, but what the hell is the "funny department"?Is it a joke?
