【Ran Yu's 1th letter to Hem】

To unknown friend X:

Hello, my name is Ran Yu, I am 10 years old and live outside the city.Today I was listening to a radio station, which told the story of the quarrel between people a long time ago.It is said that when there are no monsters on our planet, people can play with good friends every day.If you are far away, there is also something called "pen pal", which is to make friends by writing letters.

I lived with my mom and dad in a very high fenced yard, they never let me out, and I had no friends to play with.Today I secretly searched through my mother's closet and found an address book in it. There were many addresses on it, but they were all crossed out and I couldn't read them clearly.I've been looking for a long time to find one that I can read, but the names are all letters, so I can only call you X, hope you don't get mad.

By the way, it is said in the advertisement that when you write a letter to make friends, you should first introduce your likes and dislikes.I like to eat banana-flavored toffee, but my mother said that it is difficult to buy these outside the city. She will only give me one after I get 100 points in the culture test paper she gave me.

The thing I hate is going out hunting with my dad. He always makes me run and jump for a long time, and asks me to raise my gun to shoot at small animals. It's so tiring, and I often get hurt. Those animals are so fierce, as if they want to eat me. .I hate getting hurt because it hurts and I'm afraid of pain.But Dad said there was no way, if I was going to survive, it had to be this way.He also said that if I enter the city in the future, it will be different.

You live in the city, is there really a lot of banana fudge?Don't you need to be stabbed by animals, and you don't need to bandage the wound?What are your likes and dislikes?

Looking forward to hearing from you and wishing you all the best.

This is an upgraded armored personnel carrier, and even so, the space for carrying people is not very spacious.Excluding the three crew members who went to the cockpit, the remaining dozen people crowded in the cabin, whispering or burying their heads in a book.Even in such a cramped place, Ran Yu was able to find a hidden place at the corner of the car body to keep the furthest distance away from the crowd. It has to be said that this is also a talent.

"Sister Ye, what about the dozen or so people carrying guns behind you?" He Rongsheng asked.

"They drove another car to sweep the tail. Those mutated beasts will continue to attack other candidates if they stay here. We will send your group to the city for registration and isolation first."

Zhan Yiye seemed to be the leader of this group of soldiers. She was wearing a black combat uniform, her long hair was neatly pulled into a bun, and it was tightly tucked into her hat.She led the soldiers all the way out of the city and rescued many trapped candidates. Her heroic posture of carrying a machine gun and sweeping monsters without saying a word left a deep impression on the candidates and friends, so that only He Rongsheng felt cordially along the way. He chatted with her all the way.

After chatting along the way, He Rongsheng found out that something was wrong no matter how rough his mind was, not to mention that after his emotions calmed down, he himself thought about interpersonal relationships quite delicately.He found that whenever he made some comments about the views of native urbanites, the atmosphere around him became a little weirder.He noticed that Zhan Yiye and several candidates looked unhappy.

One of the yellow-haired youths reacted the most strongly, and said with a sneer, "That's because people outside the city have never seen the market and always think that life in the city is simple. If they really can't compare with the people in the city after entering, they will start crying again. Father and mother complained."

It was the first time for He Rongsheng to encounter such a choking voice.He didn't want to cause trouble before the exam, so he shut up in embarrassment.Seeing him like this, the yellow-haired young man only cursed a few words, and then continued to whisper to his companion.

He Rongsheng brought the topic here originally because he wanted to find a sense of identity. Let's all cast aside the person who was born to stand at the finish line. This is a very common and easy topic of conversation among people outside the city.He Rongsheng thought to himself, is it possible that for those who have already entered the city and believed that they can enter the city, they have changed their positions so quickly and empathized from the perspective of urbanites?

He subconsciously looked at Ran Yu, wanting to exchange a puzzled look with him to comfort each other, but Ran Yu just hugged his bag and stared at the hard car wall with ecstasy, looking like he was lost in the sky.

The man didn't care what the group of them were talking about at all.

He Rongsheng had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​communicating with Ran Yu, and waited quietly for the car to arrive at its destination.

Ran Yu didn't notice this little episode. He crossed his legs and held his tactical bag in his arms. There were many, many things to consider.

First of all, he has to worry about whether Ran Qiu will be obedient and eat well at home, in case he cannot return home after going to the city, he will send something to Ran Qiu on a regular basis, and whether he can apply for the opportunity to go out of the city and go home to have a look all year round.Secondly, he has to go through the knowledge points he has recently memorized in his mind to ensure that he can answer the questions quickly and proficiently in the examination room.And... I have a chance to meet Heng Heng.

Ten years ago, after sending out the crooked and naive letter with no beginning or end, Xiao Ran Yu waited day and night for a reply, and was so anxious that her mouth started to blister, and she dared not tell her parents about her troubles. .

At that time, he only wanted to make a good friend like the one on the radio, and he never thought that anything other than the ideal situation would happen.For example, what to do if there is no one at this address; what to do if the recipient is not actually a person of the same age, but someone who hates children and refuses to deal with him; what if the post office staff encounters an accident on the road and cannot deliver What to do with the letter...

Hope it gets a little darker.After half a year like this, when Xiao Ran Yu was about to forget about it, he received a reply letter.There is also a packet of banana-flavored toffee with the letter.

The unknown friend X has a name, he said in the letter, just call him humming.He also said that correspondence could continue in the future.

In order to thank this bag of candy, Ran Yu thought that he would also return the same precious gift.However, Heheng didn't mention his favorite things, so he had to search his little treasure chest and send over his favorite wooden dinosaur toy—this was made by his father last year, and it was given to him birthday present.At the same time, Ran Yu also put the beautiful little butterflies, little frogs, four-cornered darts, and roses that he had collected with great difficulty into small boxes, and sent them to Heng Hum's pen pal for the first time. two letters.

Two months later, Heng Heng wrote back to him again, saying that he really liked those beautiful origami papers.This reply also comes with a pack of banana-flavored toffee.

Ran Yu's first and only pen pal in his life was confirmed in this way.

In the following ten years, it was like a convention, and Heng Heng's letters to Ran Yu would always come with some snacks, including a pack of toffee.When Ran Yu sends letters to Hengheng, there are always some handmade products, among which there are always some animals and small flowers made of exquisite glass candy paper.

Thinking about it, Ran Yu wanted to read the letters that He Heng sent in the small iron box again.But there were too many people here, and he was reluctant to open the iron box, worried that the thin letter paper would accidentally fall elsewhere and be broken.What's more, he didn't want others to see these "Ran Yu exclusive" letters.

Fortunately, not long after, the car stopped and they arrived at the main city.

It was two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Usually, this was the time when the sun was scorching, but today was a cloudy day, with large thick clouds covering the sun without any heat.The original rich azure blue of the sky has also been diluted, barely revealing some pitiful grayish blue behind the crazily spreading clouds.

The cloud cover on the plateau is already very low, and when the weather is fine, there are often a few huge clouds that hang together and form a giant blanket like wool, hanging wildly on the sky.At this time, the gray and blue clouds in the sky piled up into a majestic mountain, pressing heavily on the top of the city gate, as if it would collapse like an avalanche if you were not careful, completely burying this huge city whose border could not be seen at a glance.

The city wall of the main city is very high, Ran Yu looked up and felt that it was two or three times as high as his own courtyard wall.The walls were poured with some unknown material, smooth as a mirror, showing a texture of copper-green glaze under the dim skylight, without any climbing or adsorption conditions.

The armored vehicle was parked outside the checkpoint, and five staff members in white protective clothing carried instruments and medicines into the vehicle and carried out a carpet inspection. They were accompanied by four police officers with live ammunition.After the inspection was correct, the people in the car got down and lined up. One by one, people in police uniforms led them into the five-story white building outside the city gate. There was a painted red sign on the door of the building: Ai Bo Main city entry inspection office.

Before getting out of the car, Zhan Yiye bid farewell to Ran Yu, He Rongsheng and others, and wished them a smooth exam. Next, she needs to report back to work.

Ran Yu and the fellow examinees in this car walked through a long process according to the drawings issued by the staff of the inspection office and the signs on the wall.Blood test, vaccination verification, identity qualification verification, registration information verification... There are endless queues in front of every office and window.

Ran Yu and He Rongsheng were first drawn out of a small tube of blood one by one, and each was locked in an isolation room for an hour - although in the past 30 years, with the advancement of medicine and the popularization of vaccines, very few people will be infected by the sea ghost virus and mutate , but for safety reasons, the average mutation time is four to 10 minutes, the isolation passage time in the main city is generally set at one hour, and there are armed forces waiting in shifts outside the isolation room.

Ran Yu and the others lined up outside the identity verification office for nearly three hours, during which time someone came to distribute bread and water.Ran Yu queued until he was drowsy, and the line in front slowly shortened. When it finally shortened to less than two meters, a quarrel broke out at the checkpoint that had been relatively quiet.

It turned out that the staff at the checkpoint decided that the identity of a candidate did not match the registration information and refused to stamp his pass.

This examinee was the young man with yellow hair who was in the same car with Ran Yu before. At this time, he was slapping the table with his voice, and angrily asked "Let Director Hong come over".

This staff member is a gentle and beautiful girl, but she didn't panic in the face of the troublemaker, and said with a serious face: "Director Hong has been temporarily transferred from his post, no matter how many people you change, unqualified The materials will not become qualified either. Please go back and don’t delay the procedures for the people behind.”

The young man with yellow hair was like a firecracker that had been ignited. He jumped on the spot, crackled and reprimanded the staff for their bad attitude, and insisted that Director Hong come over to handle errands.The five or six people standing behind him were his companions. At this moment, they hugged each other tightly, blushing and cursing more and more harshly.The other people in the queue at the back couldn't see it, and wanted to speak for the staff, but were blocked back by their hands and feet, and the scene became more and more noisy.The girl who stuck to her post was so angry that her eyes filled with tears, but she did not give in at all, let alone get a certificate of qualification.

Ran Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes, and the more he listened, the more irritable he became. Just as he was about to step up and beat those troublemakers out of the door, he saw a few candidates standing at the door automatically step aside.Immediately afterwards, the narrow doorway was blocked tightly by a big man.

The noise in front of the line suddenly stopped as if the power was turned off.The yellow-haired young man who had been making the most noise was standing obediently at this time, and even rolled down the sleeves that had been rolled up to his shoulders just now.

No one dared to make a mistake in front of the inspector team.

Even if it is an ordinary inspector, ordinary people will subconsciously want to take a detour when they see it.What's more, the deputy captain of the inspection team who appeared here was 1.9 meters eight. It was said that he had beaten to death a mutant bear with his bare hands.

Xiang An An was wearing a dark green inspector uniform, the tailored fabric was stretched tightly by his bulging muscles, and seemed to be in danger of tearing at any time.He walked over quickly, looked down at the group of rioting youths, and said, "Director Hong was arrested by me. He is suspected of accepting bribes, forging proof materials, and assisting in cheating on the exam. Do you have any objections?"

As he said that, he looked at the materials on the table, next to which was the "unqualified" stamp that had just been dipped in ink and had not yet been stamped in the future.Xiang Anxiang asked the staff: "His materials failed? Isn't it the same person?"

The staff member has recovered his mood, handed him the comparison report, and said succinctly: "After checking five times, it is still inconsistent. There is suspicion of taking the test. I suggest investigating."

Once it is confirmed to be a test substitute, the substitute test taker and the test taker will be permanently disqualified from taking the city entrance examination.The same goes for those who cheat through other means.

The body of the young man with yellow hair was trembling uncontrollably, his face was flushed, veins appeared on his neck, his voice raised unconsciously, and he asked in a high-pitched voice: "How could I not pass? I am an examinee! Can't you check it again? Are you working?" Did not do well!"

"Don't worry, I'll take you to the bureau to check slowly."

Before taking the yellow-haired youth away, Vice Captain Xiang An Ning patiently waited for the results of the review of the materials of the next few group youths who were making a fuss.

All failed.

Waving to An Ning, three inspectors walked in from the door. They put handcuffs on the cheating suspects, tied thin iron chains on the front and back, strung up a row of grasshoppers, and were about to take them away when they came in again. A young man in the uniform of an Inspector.

As soon as he came in, almost everyone in the office looked at him.

The inspector's expression was not as serious and upright as the others, but he seemed to be a bit of a watcher and didn't care about the big things.He is about 1.8 meters [-] tall, with a handsome face and long legs - the kind of handsome that is striking at first sight, especially in the crowd.

Ran Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances, secretly admitting that maybe the water and soil in the city is to support people, he has never seen a person who can grow up like this outside the city.

He thought again, what will Heng Heng look like?

Maybe it's prettier than this guy? —Forget it, it's a little difficult.Still don't embarrass your friends.

The strange thing is that the few people who were not too scared of being caught at first started to tremble one by one, making the thin iron chains rattle.

Seeing this, the inspector smiled and said, "Hello, I am also very happy to meet you. Looking forward to the next communication."

The chains rattled louder.

After the inspector finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to go out, so as not to delay the subsequent candidates to do business.

Xiang An Ning led the pale-faced suspects out, and reported in a low voice on the suspected cheaters caught so far.

"It's only a part of the test takers, and the rest will go to the test room tomorrow and continue to catch." Lou Yue said, "The original invigilator appointed by the personnel department has been replaced, right? There will be another quota tomorrow."

"Are you trying to...?"

"Go to the invigilator." Captain Lou said.
