Urban Oddities: The Seven-Day Cycle

At dawn, Yan Shi carried Luo Yunsong to the hospital. Luo Yunsong slumped in the chair, dizzy to death. Yan Shi was afraid that he would be hungry, so he bought a ham sausage from thousands of miles away, and Luo Yunsong licked it with dignity. lick.

Yan Shi: "...you are eating it!"

Luo Yunsong put the ham sausage into his mouth, turned the tip of his tongue around, and sucked it hard, half of the ham sausage was left, and the other half had only a thin layer of intestinal membrane, and all the ham meat was gone.

Yan Shi admired: "You are really talented if you can eat ham sausage like this!"

Luo Yunsong winked: "This is called art, and most people don't understand it. Look, it looks like a cover is put on... oh my hand!"

Not many people came to hang the bottle in the morning, and the surroundings were quiet. After eating the intestines, Luo Yunsong burped. The smell of ham in his mouth made him almost vomit. He closed his eyes, and the water in the bottle dropped drop by drop. When I fell down, there seemed to be a ticking sound of water leaking in my head. When I opened it again, there was a huge wall in front of me. I looked up and saw that it was the head nurse. She was so strong that she blocked the light. The nurse The head nurse was very enthusiastic and prepared buns and steamed buns for the patients. Yan Shi dipped in them and was lucky enough to get a steamed bun. Luo Yunsong stared at the head nurse's leaving figure in a daze with the buns in his mouth, and asked Yan Shi, "Like that?"

Luo Yunsong nodded: "Like, it's all this size, but... that thing feels very empty."

"Void?"

"It's just...the head nurse is a stone, and that thing is a steamed bun..."

"..." Yan Shi silently swallowed the steamed buns and drank tea to soothe his throat.

Afraid that Yan Shi didn't understand, Luo Yunsong kindly added: "And it's still foamy buns, um, the kind that's soaked in water."

Yan Shi: "... Goo!"

After hanging the hanging bottle, the two hurried back to the TV station. The efficiency of the broadcasting team was extremely high. N sets of dance steps were tossed overnight. The director personally screened and checked every step of the way. Well, what else can he say?dance!

The whole afternoon Luo Yunsong followed them up and down, and the men performed all kinds of difficult street dance moves. Luo Yunsong stared straight at him. When the photographer came to take pictures, Luo Yunsong wiped his face: "I Go get some makeup done."

Photographer: "Luo University, no need to make up, you are very photogenic, so the original taste is better, and the audience now loves to watch back-to-basics."

Luo Yunsong sniffed the sweaty clothes: "It smells so masculine, authentic!"

The photographer clicked the shutter: "It smells so good!"

Yan Shi dressed as a tree passed by, pouted and snorted.

Photographer: "Hey, Yan Da, poke it again, yes yes yes, stand over, and stretch that branch over, Luo Da put a poss!"

Yan Shi has an opinion: "Okay, I became the background?"

Luo Yunsong: "Who told you that you are a tree? Isn't a tree just used as a background!"

Yan Shi: "I'm a tree, you're a flower! Green trees lined with red flowers, it's so fucking appropriate!"

Luo Yunsong: "Wrong! It's Shuaihua!"

Yan Shi flicked the branch, making Shuai Hua scream.

During the intermission, Luo Yunsong was playing with his mobile phone. While playing, he suddenly remembered about Ms. Chen. After counting the time, Ms. Chen's catastrophe was approaching.

Luo Yunsong called, the phone rang for a long time, and finally connected, Luo Yunsong said: "Hello, Miss Chen?"

"...Well, I am."

"Miss Chen, I am Mr. Luo who came to interview last time..."

"She's gone."

Luo Yunsong didn't realize it all at once, who is she?What's gone?

"I'm Miss Chen's sister, and my surname is also Chen. This phone number belongs to my sister."

Luo Yunsong stayed there for a while, listening to the intermittent sobs on the phone, he felt a chill running down his spine, and he heard himself ask: "Then...Miss Chen...what's wrong with your sister?"

"They're missing. Mr. Luo, you don't have to come. This matter is being investigated by the police, and we don't know the specifics. There is nothing to interview. Let it be." Sister Chen was about to hang up, when Luo Yunsong found out that the conversation was in progress. He quickly called her to stop and asked her who the "they" here refers to.

Sister Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "There are three of them."

Luo Yunsong's heart sank, he stuffed his phone into his pocket, and gesticulated wildly towards the stage. Under the eyes of everyone, a tree suddenly stood up, and ran unsteadily down the stage. Luo Yunsong went up and grabbed Yan Shi: "Something happened! All three of Ms. Chen's family are missing!"

"Miss Chen?" Yan Shi frowned tightly, "She should wait a few days before..." Turning his gaze, seeing everyone in the venue staring at him, Yan Shi hurriedly dragged Luo Yunsong out of the venue and went to the male In the toilet, close the door of the cubicle tightly, and said in a low voice: "Her time is not up yet! How could something happen? All three members of the family are missing? Who said that?"

"Her sister answered the phone." Luo Yunsong explained.

Yan Shi pursed his lips and wanted to take out a cigarette. When he touched his body, he remembered that he was still dressed as a tree. The two were speechless for a moment. The shouts of Miao Miao and Lucy came in. During the rehearsal, the team leader ran away for no reason. This made them anxious.

Yan Shi didn't bring his mobile phone, so he leaned over to look at Luo Yunsong: "Is there a car?"

Luo Yunsong: "There is a trip, and the ticket is already booked."

Yan Shi: "Well, I have to tell the team."

After the two of them muttered, Yan Shi straightened the crooked branches, opened the compartment door and walked out. Unexpectedly, there was a crowd of people standing outside the door, especially Xiao Miao and Lucy, whose eyes were staring like searchlights. Yes, Yan Shi was stunned for a few seconds, looked at the urinal subconsciously, and was relieved after confirming that he had gone to the wrong toilet. Da Mao and Er Mao looked up and down the two people who came out of the same cubicle, and said uncertainly: "Team leader , Brother Song...you... hey! Isn't this too urgent? Why don't you just leave?"

Luo Yunsong rubbed his nose: "I'm a little anxious, but there's nothing I can do."

Brother A Biao: "It's hard to control yourself! Both of you pay attention to your health, remember to come back to rehearse after you have a good time!"

Luo Yunsong: "..."

Yan Shi: "..."

After get off work that day, they ate something casually and went straight to the train station. The train was fast and slow. Luo Yunsong took a nap. I don’t know if it was because the train was busy or something. At 45:[-], the two arrived at the station.

It was too late, and it was useless to go there. The two found a hotel to stay, and lay Yan Shi on the bed, looking at the ceiling, thinking about a very terrible thing.

Ms. Chen did not reach the seventh day, but an accident happened. Could it be that the catastrophe is not limited to the seven-day cycle?

Yan Shi sat up, put a cigarette in his mouth, and patted the side: "Light it up."

Luo Yunsong was thinking about something with a cigarette in his mouth, when he heard Yan Shi's call, he naturally tilted his head, and lit Yan Shi's cigarette to cigarette.

The two swallowed the clouds without saying a word, Luo Yunsong suddenly put out the cigarette butt, got up and looked for water to drink, and asked Yan Shi: "Are you okay?"

Luo Yunsong smiled and said, "It's almost done."

Yan Shi touched Luo Yunsong's forehead, it was still a little hot, and he asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"

Luo Yunsong obediently took out the medicine and took it.

"Have you seen that shadow yet?" Yan Shi asked again.

Luo Yunsong thought for a while: "No."

Yan Shi logged into the BBS and wanted to check if there were any similar distress posts. As soon as he entered the board, Ao Lie's post was highlighted and floated at the top. In just a few days, the hit rate exceeded one million, and the popularity was incredible. Continuously updating, there are unemployed people every day, Ao Lie's post has become chicken soup for their souls, healed them successfully, Yan Shi clicked on Ao Lie's profile and looked at it, the last login time was half an hour ago, Yan Shi checked The call passed, and it was quickly connected over there, and he said strictly, "Xiao Lie?"

"Oh!" Ao Lie was playing a game, and the keyboard was crackling non-stop.

"How are you doing recently? Did anything happen to you?"

It's okay if Yan Shi doesn't ask, but when he asks, it brings up Ao Lie's sadness, and he sighs quietly: "I'm unemployed again."

"Ah? Unemployed again?!" Yan Shi broke out in sweat. This kid really eats unemployment like a meal!He winked at Luo Yunsong, and Luo Yunsong turned on his mobile phone to watch the post knowingly, looked at it, couldn't help laughing, and Ao Lie also began to pour out bitterness, listening In the end, the corner of Yan Shi's mouth twitched, and he almost laughed out loud.

Finding a job has become a major concern for Ao Lie. He doesn't really care about other things, such as the sound of water, but he just finds it a bit annoying. Recently, the water has spread to his bed, and he has to blow it with a hairdryer every day. Sheets, dragged over and over again.

Calculating the date, Ao Lie's catastrophe is coming soon, but Ao Lie is still calmly selling equipment and selling money, running around to find a job, Yan Shi doesn't know how to evaluate him.

"Do you have any friends in the city? You can ask your friends to introduce you to a job." Yan Shi suggested.

"That's right!" Ao Lie slapped his thigh, very happy, and immediately clicked on QQ and played a video to an invisible friend.

Yan Shi said some polite words to him, and then hung up the phone. Ao Lie, this kid doesn't need to worry. Yan Shi has a feeling that water is not a threat to Ao Lie at all.

What is the origin of Ao Lie?

Could it be that seafood has become refined?

The next day, the two of them went out early in the morning, but they ran out of time. Sister Chen came over at noon.

In McDonald's, Yan Shi crossed his legs while drinking Coke and reading the newspaper, pretending not to see Luo Yunsong's pitiful eyes.

After Luo Yunsong finished eating the corn kernels, his mouth was drooling looking at the Yanshi burger and chicken steak.

"What are you looking at! Don't look at it!" Yan Shi settled the chicken chop in two or three bites, and gnawed on the hamburger. "Guys with fever should honestly eat light food!"

"Can't you just take a look?"

"no!"

"Okay, if you don't look at it, don't look at it."

"Well."

"Looking at you is enough."

"..." Yan Shi silently unfolded the newspaper to cover his face.

In the middle of the night, the stinky hooligan kicked the quilt, felt cold after kicking, hugged Yan Shi and talked nonsense, Yan Shi was annoyed by him all night, Yan Shi was really curious, what kind of dream did the stinky hooligan have, for several nights in a row Calling his name.

Yan Shi deliberately flipped through the newspaper, and asked in a relaxed tone: "I dreamed about my little girlfriend named Yan again last night?"

Luo Yunsong gulped down his mouthful of boiled water, his face flushed from coughing, he managed to catch his breath, and stiffened his neck and said, "What's wrong with dreaming about your girlfriend? I didn't ejaculate, why are you nervous?"

Yan Shi sneered: "If there is such a shuttle again, I think your girlfriend can't stand it even if she is a man."

Luo Yunsong picked up a magazine casually and flipped through it.

Yan Shi: "Hey, it's reversed."

Luo Yunsong: "Really, the printing is reversed, what do people think of it!"

Yan Shi: "..."

When it was almost noon, the two left for Ms. Chen's residence. The healthy family a few days ago disappeared in a blink of an eye. As time went by, fewer and fewer people survived the cycle, but they Didn't even find a clue.

"I guess I won't be able to find anything if I ask her sister. I will try to go back tonight and find Ao Lie." Yan Shi said, "This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

There are eight residents on each floor where Ms. Chen lives, and there is a corridor to walk out of the elevator. Ms. Chen’s home is in the corner, near the fire escape, and the escape door is open. A little boy is sitting on the stairs in a daze, feeling someone is approaching , he raised his head.

The fire exit was dark and gloomy, Luo Yunsong observed it for a while, and said pleasantly, "Miaomiao?"

"Luo... Yunsong?" The little boy also recognized him.

"Miaomiao! That's great! You're fine!" Luo Yunsong wanted to hug him, but Yan Shi grabbed him and pulled him away a few steps.

"Strict?" Luo Yunsong was puzzled.

Yan Shi stared at the fire escape: "Where is Miaomiao?"

"Ah? Isn't he right here..." The hand pointing at the fire escape suddenly froze.

Miaomiao was already standing at the escape door, but Yan Shi couldn't see it!

"Song Song? Tight?" Miaomiao blinked her big watery eyes. He couldn't figure out why Luo Yunsong and Yan Song looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Yan Shi couldn't see him, so he turned to the air and said, "Where are your parents?"

With a cold arm, Yan Shi trembled, and took a few steps back to protect Luo Yunsong. Miaomiao looked at her hand blankly, wanting to touch Yan Shi again, Luo Yunsong hurriedly shouted: "Miaomiao! Stop, Don't move!"

Miaomiao thought Luo Yunsong was playing a police game with him, so she happily stood still, puffed up her chest and gave a military salute.

"Captain Miaomiao, the officer asks you, where are your parents?" Luo Yunsong looked at the innocent little boy with a sore nose.

"Report sir! Dad is chasing mom!"

"what?"

"Dad fought with mom, and dad chased mom."

The little boy spoke intermittently, and Luo Yunsong asked for a while before he finally understood.

Ms. Chen got up in the middle of the night to take Miaomiao away, but was stopped by her husband. The two struggled for a while, and Ms. Chen fled the door. After a while, Ms. Chen's younger sister and the aunt who read the water meter came in, as well as some policemen. Since a gossip mirror was hung on the door, Miaomiao could no longer go home and talked to her aunt, but her aunt ignored him again. Miao had to wait on the fire escape. After waiting, Luo Yunsong and Yan Shi came.

Miaomiao misses her parents. At the end, her face was covered with tears and snot. After listening to Luo Yunsong's narration, Yan Shi felt very sad. He couldn't see or hear Miaomiao in front of her. He didn't know how to comfort her. Miaomiao didn't even know when she died, and she didn't even know where her body went, only her soul was left waiting stupidly. Maybe when Ms. Chen came out to look for her son, the three of them might not be human anymore.

"Miaomiao is good, don't cry." Luo Yunsong knelt down and made faces at the little boy.

Miaomiao cried and begged for a hug: "Songsong, they are so bad, they ignore Miaomiao."

Luo Yunsong stretched out his hand to touch him, but before he touched him, Miaomiao was pushed by a huge force, fell several steps, fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, Luo Yunsong stared blankly at his hand, wondering Is it an illusion or something, the prayer beads on the wrist are slightly hot.

The elevator door opened, and several police officers helped a crying woman out. The woman's husband was smoking a cigarette, and when he looked up, he saw two men standing in front of the door. The husband asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

Luo Yunsong and Yan Shi took out their business cards and handed them over: "We are from a TV station, my name is Luo Yunsong, and this is Yan Shi."

The husband took it, glanced at it, and handed the business card to his wife.

Sister Chen nodded and motioned for them to come in and sit down.

Ms. Chen's house remained as it was, and there were no traces of fighting. The policeman asked some more questions and comforted her before leaving. Luo Yunsong looked back. An invisible wall, no matter how hard you try, you just can't get in.

When Sister Chen went to close the door, Miaomiao kept calling her aunt and aunt. Sister Chen closed the door and locked it, and then sat back on the sofa. Her husband made tea and invited them to drink.

"After drinking, you can go, there is nothing to interview." Sister Chen looked tired and sank into the sofa.

"Have you found the body?" Yan Shi asked.

As soon as he said this, sister Chen immediately glared, and even Luo Yunsong stared at him in surprise.

"I found it, but I don't know if it is true. I still have to wait for the forensic examination." It was Sister Chen's husband who answered him.

Sister Chen didn't say a word, she kicked her slippers and walked to the toilet, closing the door with a bang.

The husband poured himself a cup of tea. His wife was sad and he was also in a bad mood when something happened at home. He wanted to talk to someone. Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong came just in time, so Yan Shi handed him a cup of tea. He lit the cigarette for him, he took a few puffs, and then said slowly: "Near a sewage outlet, three corpses were found, two large and one small, all covered in mud and soaked. I was at the scene at the time, At a glance, it was them."

"Sewage outlet?" Yan Shi clicked on his mobile phone to check the map. The sewage outlets of the sewers are usually located on the bank of the river. The nearest section is a few kilometers away from Ms. Chen's home.

Ms. Chen's family of three ran a few kilometers in the middle of the night, jumped into the river and committed suicide?

There is another more terrifying theory, that is, the family of three was washed into the sewer and washed out of the sewage outlet along the water pipe.

In the drain of the toilet, hair and some clothing fabrics of three people were found.

But how can such a thin water pipe be stuffed into a person?

From the police's point of view, it is more inclined to commit suicide by jumping into the river, but it just so happens that the location of the jump is a sewage outlet.

For Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong, this matter was very unbelievable, but it was within their expectations.

A strange force intervened in the seven-day cycle of catastrophe. This time, Ms. Chen killed her husband and son.

Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong sat for a while, and when they couldn't find anything to ask, they said goodbye and left.

Miaomiao squatted by the door crying, Luo Yunsong walked a few steps, looked back, Miaomiao was still sitting there, looking at him tearfully, Luo Yunsong hesitated, and asked tentatively: "Miaomiao, come with us let's go?"

Miaomiao buried her face in her knees, and yelled in a muffled voice, "Songsong, you big bastard!"

Luo Yunsong rubbed his face and smiled: "Miaomiao, Songsong will take you to find your parents..."

"Don't go!"

"Miaomiao, your parents have gone to another place, it's no use waiting here."

When Luo Yunsong was trying to practice the Dafa of fooling around, Yan Shi was busy flipping through Weibo. Ms. Chen was indeed a madman who swiped the screen, and she tossed out more than N posts a day. He flipped through the pages, and finally on a certain date, found the desired information.

Yan Shi anxiously handed the phone to Luo Yunsong, asking him to read it.

"Look at this article, she complained about hearing the sound of water. From this day on, it turned out that the day we went was exactly the seventh day of Ms. Chen's day! She remembered the date wrong!" Yan Shi pointed at the screen, and suddenly his body trembled , "Strange, so cold?"

Luo Yunsong: "Well, Miaomiao will go back with us, he is next to you, Miaomiao follow closely!"

When Miaomiao touched Luo Yunsong, she would be bounced away inexplicably, so she had to wrap around Yanshi. Miaomiao was like a mass of moving cold air. Yanshi was frozen all the way, sneezed all the way, and got on the train. In his arms, he was so cold that he huddled into a ball.

Luo Yunsong took off his clothes and put them on Yan Shi's body, and rubbed his cold hands in his palms.

"Is it warm?" Luo Yunsong asked.

"Haha!"

"Fortunately, I have a fever and my body temperature is high, which is more practical than an electric heating bag."

Yan Shi: (sniffing)

Luo Yunsong said embarrassedly: "Well, then, don't be so moved!"

Yan Shi: "..."
