Abyss

When he opened his eyes, he found that there were no mountains and nothing, and it was still a quiet midsummer afternoon.I always feel that in such a season, there should be endless hissing cicadas and dragonflies moving at low altitude.But at some point these things not only withdrew from his childhood, but also from this rapidly developing city.

At first, the dive just wanted to take a simple shower, but was delayed in the shower for more than half an hour.When he turned off the shower and was about to turn around and come out, he suddenly fainted, and he grabbed the shelf where the toiletries were placed so as not to fall.It seemed that those fluoxetines were really doing something to his brain.

When he came out after drying himself off, the room had already cooled down under the efforts of the air conditioner. It was only separated by a layer of glass, but it had nothing to do with the scorching sun outside the room.The temperature of the air conditioner is only [-] degrees, which Linqian thinks is just right.

As the body temperature dropped, the dive also felt hungry.Wrapping only a towel around his waist, he went downstairs and rummaged in the refrigerator.After taking a few steps, the towel slipped an inch from his waist, revealing a beautiful mermaid line.

When buying a refrigerator more than a year ago, Jiang Xuanye accompanied him, the reason being that IKEA's ice cream was more delicious.Linqian originally wanted to buy a smaller one, since he doesn't cook anyway, and there are only two people in Jiang Xuanye's family, so he really doesn't need a big one.But Jiang Xuanye insisted that he buy the double door, because it was red, he liked it better.

The refrigerator is not only divided into left and right sides, but also divided into upper and lower sides.The upper layer is refrigerated and the lower layer is frozen.Linqian usually doesn't open the bottom half layer, because he never cooks, and for him frozen food, even quick-frozen dumplings, he doesn't bother to cook them.

On the upper floor, when the dive is opened, there are only neatly arranged mineral water and eggs inside.Linqian had no choice but to take out the bottle of water on the far side, unscrew it and took a sip, then found a post-it note stuck to the bottle.

The words on it are more or less unhandy, with the flamboyant Jianghu style, one can tell at a glance that it must have been written by Jiang Xuanye.

"There's food down there."

Linqian smiled, and opened the door of the frozen layer for the second time in his life - the first time was when Jiang Xuanye asked him to help him get out a piece of beef. Which meat is neatly packaged is from the cow.

The freezer has three drawers from top to bottom. There is a stack of paper strips outside the top drawer. A thick layer of frost has formed on the paper strips. It seems that it should have been stored here for a long time.Jiang Xuanye did not know when he had already prepared these, but he was only worried that one day he would starve to death at home if he was not diving.

"At this."

Linqian opened the top drawer, and inside there was a bag of white sesame stuffed Yuanxiao, a bag of quick-frozen barbecued pork buns, and a third note.In other words, it should be a piece of paper, much larger than the first two, about the size of a small notebook.

"Lantern Festival, you can put some water in a bowl and sting it in the microwave for a while, and they will become very big in the middle, it doesn't matter, they can be retracted. The same is true for char siu buns, you can eat them with a sting, don't forget to put them in a fresh-keeping bag Put a little water, or the char siew buns will make a loud noise."

Linqian never knew that there was such a hidden way to eat Yuanxiao, but he wondered how Jiang Xuanye knew about it.He is allergic to flour, and by the way, he also avoids such things.Jiang Xuanye was determined to be able to develop such a way of eating without eating it himself.

In the end, I chose to eat some barbecued pork buns before diving, so that I didn't have to wash the dishes.It's not that he's lazy, he just finds things in the kitchen trivial.

Put the char siu buns in a fresh-keeping bag and put them in the microwave oven for 2 minutes.Before diving, he simply sat on the sofa and waited. By the way, he folded the clothes in the luggage and prepared to put them away.At the bottom is Lin Qiubai's death certificate. Linqian has basically memorized all the content after reading this piece of paper only once, because there is very little valid information on it, and the cause of death only states unnatural death , there are only other places of death, and the work unit he belongs to did not write at all, which is quite perfunctory.

The time of death was two days before Linqian landed on Xingzhi Island, that is, the day when he had the last video call with Linqiubai.He has reasons to believe that his judgment is correct, Lin Qiubai should have been on Xingzhi Island before, and it was on that lighthouse.

He remembered that the man who delivered the food told him when he landed on the island that there were usually only two people in the weather station on the island, but they consumed a lot of food and fresh water.Lin Qian also noticed that there were indeed only traces of two people living in the weather station, so he was sure that there must be other people hidden on the island.The lighthouse is like a prison. If it weren't for the fact that there are important people in it, there wouldn't be so many people guarding it for no reason.The only reason I couldn't see him was because Lin Qiubai was no longer there at that time.

Just pass by.

With a "ding", the microwave oven stopped working, and the dim light inside also dimmed.If it is not really hungry, I really don't have much appetite for diving.Especially when his fingers touched the hot buns, he even wondered if eating such a hot thing would scald his stomach.

After reluctantly eating a few mouthfuls without taste, Linqian suddenly remembered that he had promised the little doctor to call his home and hadn't gone yet.Afraid that he had forgotten, Lin Qian immediately went upstairs and took out the clothes that had just been thrown into the washing machine, and took out the note from his pocket.There is no text on it, only a string of phone numbers.The area code is 0553, which should be on the Anhui side.

The phone rang for a long time, just when Linqian thought that no one would answer it, the phone was answered so unexpectedly.Opposite was a young man's voice, a little hoarse, but full of energy, even if he didn't speak loudly on purpose, he still felt a little ear-splitting.

"Hey, comrade, who are you looking for?" asked the other side.

Lin Qian didn't know who was answering the phone, but he could tell that the person didn't have an Anhui accent.This landline may not be private, but a public phone.Lin Qian recalled the name on the badge on the little doctor's chest, and said, "I'm making this call for a friend, and I want to ask if Chen Kang's parents are okay now."

The person over there didn't think at all when they heard the name, and replied directly, "Don't worry, everyone here is fine."

Obviously, this person does not know who Chen Kang is, nor does he know which one is his parents.Linqian wanted to ask, but hung up the phone hastily.When he dialed again, he was hung up directly.Lin Qian wanted to know what happened over there.After thinking twice, he still called the branch office where Yang Cuo was located.Apart from the matter about the Black Tail, I and him should not be too rigid.

"Hello, Dadong Branch." It was a young man who answered the phone.

"Hello, I'll find Police Officer Yang Cuo." Linqian was actually a little embarrassed. He had known him for so long and didn't have the other party's mobile phone number, so he asked Baidu to contact him at his work unit.

The other side said, "Wait a moment." Then he shouted away from the microphone, "Captain Yang——"

There was a sound of steady footsteps, and Yang Cuo's warm voice came from the phone, "Hello, who is it?"

"Officer Yang, it's me, diving in."

Yang Cuo obviously didn't expect that Linqian would call him, so he paused before saying, "Did something be left on my car?"

Lin Qian smiled and said, "No, I just want to ask Officer Yang for help."

"You say." Yang Cuo did not hesitate.

"I have a package sent to Wuhu. It's been a week and it hasn't arrived yet."

"Then you should call the courier."

"I called, but no one answered the phone over there. I just want to ask you to help me find out what's going on over there." Linqian didn't plan to tell the truth from the beginning.

Yang made a mistake and said, "I found it and will send you a message."

Soon, an unfamiliar phone number called on Linqian's phone.After answering the phone, it was indeed Yang Cuo's voice over there.It's just that there doesn't seem to be such a noisy sound around.

Yang Cuo really just went back to the office, took a sip of tea, and called back.

"There is a little trouble in Wuhu right now, a natural disaster. But you don't have to worry, the government has already arranged everything, they won't lie to you, and everyone is fine. Don't get involved in these things in the future."

Linqian was not surprised when his little lie was exposed, "Okay, thank you."

Linqian saved this number, thought for a while, and wrote on the note: Why return the shroud of horse leather.

Immediately, Linqian searched the Internet, but there was no news about the natural disaster in Wuhu.What kind of disaster would that be?If it is insignificant, then there is no need to evacuate the local people; if it is serious, even the Tangshan earthquake will always have overwhelming new articles.But now, it is like a calm water without any relevant reports.

I still ordered takeaway for dinner, but I still didn't have much appetite. I only ate a few bites and put it in the refrigerator to eat when I was hungry.The residual effects of the fluoxetine were still causing trouble in his body, making him feel uncomfortable and always groggy, and he also felt very irritating and burning in his stomach.

When it was time to go to bed, Lin Qian suddenly had a severe headache, and even felt that the bones in his body were sore.Really unable to fall asleep, Linqian simply turned off the light and stood by the downstairs window and lit a cigarette.

The moonlight, coming in through the window, illuminated the upright piano.The black pearl he brought back was placed on the piano, and it was shining brightly under the moonlight at the moment.Lin Qian felt very dizzy, and it was impossible to go upstairs and lie flat on the bed, so he could only try to maintain his balance and let himself lie on the ground slowly without kowtow.Linqian gritted his teeth and endured the strong dizziness, thinking in his heart that he had already escaped anyway, and everything would be fine.

Of course he didn't know that the gods at the bottom of the sea were explaining the daily affairs of the bottom of the sea to his cronies, preparing to set foot on the human world for the first time.
