Chapter 1 Puzzle Games

At noon at the end of July, the sun was like a fire.

The office hall of the Neighborhood Committee of Zhonghe Street Community in Ning City was empty. The old ceiling fans on the ceiling were slowly turning one by one, making creaking sounds, but the whole hall was still filled with a damp smell. Sweltering smell.

This kind of afternoon is the most sleepy, with only a few wisps of coolness from the air conditioner behind the small window with the social security sign.

A young man in a white short-sleeved T-shirt was resting on the desk. His figure was thin. Due to his posture, he couldn't see his face clearly. Only half of his fair side face and soft black hair on his forehead were exposed.

"Xiaobai, you, Sister Li, and I are going out for a while. You can watch the window for us. If someone comes to do business, you can send him away and let him come back tomorrow."

Zhonghe Street is not a big street, and there are only five employees in the neighborhood committee, who are in charge of the party and government, family planning and social security, one for logistics and finance, and one for distribution and dispatch.

Except for the daytime, the others are 50-year-old aunts, and the oldest one is 63 this year.

For many young people, working with a group of aunts and uncles with a huge generation gap is simply a fatal job, but during the day, he doesn't care at all. On the contrary, he seems to be very comfortable.

At this time, he was not impatient when he heard that Sister Liu, who was in charge of family planning, asked him to look at the window again. He just raised his head slightly and hummed lightly to show that he understood.

Then he fell down / lay on the table, and could faintly hear Sister Liu chatting with others as she walked: "Xiaobai is good at everything except he doesn't talk much, he has a good temper and looks gentle.

When he came last year, I read his resume for Lao Zhou. He is a college student of a key university in Beijing, tsk tsk, such a good young man has not yet found a partner..."

"That's why you don't know. Girls nowadays like boys who can speak well, which is different from ours at that time..."

Lie on the desk for a while during the day, looked up and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was 10 minutes to two o'clock, and it was time to go to work in the afternoon, so I stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face with cold water. Sober up a lot.

I don’t know if it’s because of the weather these few days. He always feels uncomfortable all over his body. It’s like a tiny airflow is drilling into every pore of his body, especially the head, temples and eyelids are hot. It feels like nothing at all.

He looked at his paler face in the mirror, rubbed his eyes and returned to his desk.

The glass door of the neighborhood committee just sat down was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman in her 50s came in.

First, I looked at the family planning window, and found that there was a metal plate blocking it, so I showed a disappointed look on my face, and then my eyes fell on the social security window next door. I saw Bai Tian sitting behind the window, and I was overjoyed. Sit on the high chair in front of you.

"Young man, I'm here to give my daughter-in-law a pre-pregnancy checkup. Isn't the clerk at the family planning window here?"

"She has something to go out, you can come back tomorrow."

During the day, I took out a stack of documents from the drawer, and planned to check and check the pension insurance information submitted by several elderly people in the community a few days ago. If there is no problem, I can submit it to the Social Security Bureau tomorrow.

He echoed the words of the middle-aged woman, and subconsciously glanced at the wall clock again, it was exactly two o'clock.

"I have to come back tomorrow. I came here a few days ago, but no one was there. It's such a hot day. What happened once, young man, see if you can help me." The middle-aged woman obviously didn't give up. He refused to move on the chair.

"..." Bai Tian helplessly rubbed his eyes, he was a young man with no marriage and no relationship and didn't even know what the pre-pregnancy examination was, so it was really embarrassing for him.

After thinking about it during the day, he was planning to send the middle-aged woman away with a tactful remark, but unexpectedly, there was a loud thunder outside, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and then the sky suddenly darkened.

Immediately there was another thunderclap, and the creaking ceiling fan on the ceiling stopped turning at some point, and the air became even hotter.

The middle-aged woman jumped up from the high chair, ignored the daytime, and walked outside in a hurry, muttering incessantly: "I'm going to die, it's going to rain suddenly, and the sun is still shining on the terrace." quilt cover……"

After thinking about it during the day, it seemed that the windows of the living room and bedroom were not closed when he went out this morning. Hearing the sound of thunder, the rain must be serious, and he had to close the windows.

During the day, there is a four-bedroom, two-living room, one kitchen and two bathrooms, 165-square-meter house in Zhonghe community. It is one of the few inheritances left to him by his parents who died in a car accident two years ago.

He rubbed his eyes, as if he wanted to crush the inexplicable emotions in his heart.

Sister Liu and Sister Li went out just now, and Director Zhou was on a business trip. Mr. Dong was too old, and he was given a high-temperature vacation after entering July. There was only one person in the neighborhood committee during the day.

During the day, I turned off my computer and the fluorescent lamp above my head, and I also turned off the main switch in the hall by the way.

After doing this, I suddenly found that the outside became dark, and the room became even darker. It was only after two o'clock in the afternoon, so it seemed like six or seven o'clock in the evening.

During the day, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and the sky seemed to be getting darker. He quickly locked the glass door of the neighborhood committee and trotted into the community.

The neighborhood committee of the community is at the end of the commercial area, and it only takes three or four minutes to reach the downstairs of our house during the day, but in such a short time, the surrounding area has been completely plunged into darkness.

The street lamps on the street are sensory. As long as it gets dark, the street lamps will be on, but at this time there is no light at all.

I can only feel the bean-sized raindrops hitting the ground sparsely, and there is a unique earthy smell in summer. A few drops fell on Tiantian's body, and it still hurts.

Living on the seventh floor during the day, he glanced at the extinguished elevator display board on the first floor, turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and turned to go up the stairs. Only then did he find that not only the elevator was not working, but even the voice-activated lights in the corridor were not on.

During the day, the feeling of uneasiness became stronger, and his temples seemed to get hotter. He felt very uncomfortable, and he was sweating profusely.He leaned against the wall for a while, but still managed to climb up to the seventh floor.

At this time, his head was dizzy and painful, his eyes became blurred, and double images appeared. The key had to be inserted several times before it was inserted/into the lock, and when he entered the door, he fell to the floor and passed out completely.

The rain outside was getting heavier and pouring.

During the day, I was woken up by the alarm clock of my mobile phone, which was seven o'clock in the morning.

The rain had stopped and the sun was shining brightly, like any other morning in July.

Standing up with difficulty while holding the chair at hand during the day, lying on the floor all night caused him pain all over his body, as if he had fallen apart.

The heavy rain last night had completely soaked the curtains in the living room and bedroom, and there were two shallow puddles on the floor.

During the day, I took off the curtains and threw them into the laundry basket, mopped the water on the ground with a mop, and then took the changed clothes into the toilet.

After washing, he put his hands on the sink, looked at his white and almost transparent face in the mirror during the day, and stretched out his hands to press his temples.It's normal, I don't have the hot feeling like yesterday, I don't feel dizzy or painful, and I even feel very clear-headed.

If one ignores the pale complexion, it can be said that he is in a very good state of mind now.

"Let's go to the hospital."

After making a decision during the day, I quickly sent a text message asking for leave to Sister Li, who was in charge of attendance at the neighborhood committee, and then took a taxi to Ning City First Hospital.

Because it is not a weekend, there are not many patients in the hospital.

The doctor asked about the condition, and said that he would not be able to see anything without an examination. He suggested that he should have a CT scan, but the results would not come out until three days later, so he agreed during the day for peace of mind.

It was exactly [-]:[-] when I came out of the hospital.

Because I asked for leave during the day, I was not in a hurry to go back, and planned to walk across the road to take the bus.

Because it costs nearly 50 yuan to take a taxi, I was a little bit confused when I first came here, so I called a taxi. Now that I have calmed down, I feel a little bit distressed about the money.

After all, the clerk of the neighborhood committee is not a high-paying job, and it can even be said that the income is meager.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Daytime!"

Turning around during the day, I saw a smiling face: "Xiaobai, it's really you. I just saw you from a distance and felt like you were on my back!" neck during the day.

"Sailor Qi."

He was also very happy during the day, Qi Shuai was his childhood friend, both of them were from Ning City, and they were classmates from kindergarten to high school.During the day, he has a dull temperament and doesn't like to socialize with others. Qi Shuai can be said to be his only friend for so many years.

Qi Shuai has a carefree personality and is very heroic and righteous. Basically, everyone in the class likes him.

When Qi Shuai saw Bai Tian coming out of the hospital with a bag of medicine in his hand, he asked him, "Are you sick?"

"No, it's just that I was a little dizzy yesterday, nothing happened."

"Are you going home now? I drove just in time to see you off."

Qi Shuai has a good family background, his parents are in business, and the family was provided with a car when he was in college. At the beginning, he was quite embarrassing, calling a few friends every day and telling them to take them out for a drive.

The weather was too hot, and I was a little apprehensive about the headache, so I didn't intend to refuse Qi Shuai's kindness during the day, and was about to agree.

At this time, Qi Shuai's phone rang, only to hear him answering a few words to the other end of the phone, and he looked embarrassed after hanging up. "Xiaobai, I'm afraid I can't see you off. My dad said that Ye Zhao has returned to Ning City. His parents are abroad. Let me pick him up at the airport."

Hearing Ye Zhao's name during the day, he was startled for a moment, then he reacted and smiled slightly: "It's okay, you can go."

Bid farewell to Qi Shuai, stood in place for a while during the day, and then walked to the nearest bus stop.

Today's sun seems to be very hot. As soon as he walked out of the shade, the scorching sun shone on his naked/exposed skin, and the feeling of a tiny airflow drilling into his pores came back.

The cicadas on the camphor tree by the roadside flapped their wings tirelessly and chirped, and the cicadas in the morning made people feel drowsy.

Standing under the empty bus stop sign during the day, I found that there were not only fewer pedestrians but also vehicles on the road, and the weather was too hot.

He subconsciously raised his head to look at the sun hanging high in the sky, and he didn't know how long it took to look at it, but his eyes darkened and he fell to the ground.

Before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear a mechanical electronic female voice in his head saying in an emotionless voice: "Ding! Loading successfully... Welcome to the puzzle game!"
