stories that happened on a specific occasion

There is such a sentence in "A Dream of Red Mansions", which is quite in line with the current solar terms.

It was the 120th time that Jia Zheng helped Jia Mu's coffin to Jinling. On the way home, it snowed heavily. He met Baoyu, who had become a monk, and bid farewell to him, and then drifted away with a monk.Jia Zheng hurriedly chased after him, but he disappeared suddenly, "the land is so clean after leaving a piece of whiteness."

This is the artistic conception of heavy snow, life is boundless and empty.

But this year, there is no snow in the city at this time.

Thinking that the previous light snow was the only snowflake since the beginning of winter, it makes people feel a little regretful.

In the office, several people from the editorial department, together with X, were discussing the topic of global warming while blowing on the heater.I also joined in and listened to a few words.

"Guess what is the culprit of global warming?" X suddenly raised this question.

Everyone scrambled to give several answers, such as car exhaust, fuel incineration, ore mining, deforestation, all kinds of answers were denied by X.

So, everyone turned their eyes to me.

"Human existence?" I replied.

"Although this answer is anti-human, it is close." X said.

So, everyone guessed again, but still no one gave the correct answer. X had no choice but to announce: "It is the development of animal husbandry."

Everyone felt a burst of surprise, especially when X told everyone the total amount of carbon dioxide produced by animal husbandry, some even questioned: "How is it possible?"

"This is the data published by a foreign authoritative organization, how can it be impossible." X also argued.

After I got the answer, I also searched the Internet for relevant research data out of curiosity, and found that what X said was not wrong.

According to a study by the Worldwatch Institute (WWI), greenhouse gas emissions from animal husbandry and its by-products account for at least 51% of the world's total emissions, far exceeding our common knowledge of vehicle exhaust and energy use.Not only that, animal husbandry is also the chief culprit of destroying and polluting land and water sources. The industry of animal husbandry alone occupies 30% of the land area on the earth.Overgrazing, intensive breeding and land destruction, massive water consumption and production of excrement have all overwhelmed the ecosystem.

Unexpectedly, the energy consumed and the price paid by human beings for a plate of meat far exceed what we can expect.

"You haven't eaten meat at noon." Someone said to X.

"That's not to say that if I don't eat meat, the earth will not be destroyed," X said: "However, I can eat as little as possible."

"However, I think it is unlikely that the earth will be destroyed. It is estimated that human beings will be destroyed first." The editor teacher suddenly added to the topic.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded silently.

The lunch break ended with a discussion like X.

I looked at the theme map of the new issue and thought about it.The empty building standing in the barren land, without the company of any living beings, looks extremely lonely.

I have accumulated more than a dozen pages of submissions, and those large paragraphs of text that have not been typeset dazzled me, and even caused visual fatigue.From time to time, consciousness wanders between the lines without paying attention.

Finally, a story with pictures at the beginning gave me a refreshing feeling.

The contributor to this story calls herself Mrs. B.

At first glance at this picture, I have absolutely no idea where it was taken.But it can be guessed that this is a photo taken by a mobile phone. Under the flash, a piece of concrete ground and bricks and rubble palely appear in the picture.

Following this photo, I read Mrs. B's contribution story, and when I came back to look at this photo, I found something strange about it.

Mrs B's story

The urban area where Mrs. B lives is undergoing the baptism of the years and the rapid crushing of the new era.There are many roads and old communities in the city, which are gradually being transformed and demolished.

Such changes have brought joy to people as well as distress.

To my delight, "demolition and relocation to get rich" became the hottest topic in this urban area for a while, and many people's lives have been greatly improved and improved because of this.What is distressing is that while people are thinking about demolition trends, house prices have also been fired up.Those second-hand houses that were once hidden in the deep alleys and in the suburbs of the city have doubled in value overnight.Together with the rising tide, there are also local rental prices and commodity prices.Although the people were unwilling, they could only endure it secretly, and hoped that their own houses would one day be included in the demolition plan.

Mrs. B is more fortunate, her house is in the demolition plan.

However, the demolition and renovation of old communities is a large project after all, and it cannot be completed in a few days or months.Therefore, although the district committee also issued a notice and the news reported it several times, the specific time for the demolition has not been received yet.This waited from when Mrs. B was just married to when her daughter was in the third grade of elementary school.

The only thing that made Mrs. B feel hopeful during the long wait was that the demolition of the old building area closest to her house started before winter last year.Seeing the uncontrollable smiles on the faces of those who signed the contracts and received the demolition funds, Mrs. B felt that one day she would do the same.

The community Mrs. B lives in is not bad at all. The neighbors are very harmonious, and the property is very responsible. However, it is an old apartment building community in the last century, so there are still some unsatisfactory aspects in the planning.For example, the building does not have an elevator, and lacks play and protection facilities for children.But the biggest trouble is that there is no underground parking lot, and there are not enough parking spaces in the surface area.

When it came to the topic of parking spaces, Mrs. B couldn't help complaining.

There are no less than [-] or [-] households in Mrs. B's building area, but there are very few parking spaces.Therefore, every day when it is time to get off work, grabbing a parking space has become a pain for everyone in this community.

The best choice is the parking spaces in the community, but there are only four or five parking spaces in front of each unit. If you want to get out of the car and go upstairs and go home every day, you have to work hard besides the speed luck.Because parking spaces inside the community are scarce, many people will settle for the next best thing and park their cars on the small road outside, which is also one of the better choices.However, there is only one road leading to this community. Once cars are parked on both sides, the road becomes extremely narrow.If the fire department inspects temporarily, it will definitely not be able to pass the customs, so the property has also begun to slowly rectify this phenomenon.Although everyone complained, there was nothing they could do.

Gradually, people in the community discovered a third option.

This choice is obviously not as suitable as the previous two, but it also solves some people's troubles.That is, park the car in the nearby vacant community that has been demolished.

During the Chinese New Year last year, the nearby demolition work has been suspended until now. I don’t know if it is because of funding reasons or a change in planning. In short, those abandoned lands that have been put on hold have become new temporary parking lots in this area.

Mrs. B will park the car occasionally, but if it is not for the forced situation of no parking space, Mrs. B will never take the initiative to park the car there.After all, that temporary parking lot is an abandoned construction site, and potential safety hazards are a problem.In some places, the dug pits have not been filled, and the scaffolding has not been dismantled. There are even half-demolished unit buildings, leaving only a seemingly crumbling cement frame structure, which makes people feel panic.Moreover, it will take at least 10 minutes to walk home from there.If the weather is bad again, or a big purchase is made, then the 10-minute journey will be a double test of mind and body.

Such a temporary parking lot is really not ideal, so people who live a few buildings further away would rather risk being fined than park their cars on the main road outside the community.Therefore, this temporary parking lot has not become lively, it is just a choice of people in desperation, so it is still sparsely populated and desolate.

The story of Mrs. B happened in this temporary parking lot.

Because of overtime, Mrs. B missed the best time to find a parking space.After driving around the community twice, Mrs. B finally gave up and turned around and drove to the deserted community.

It was just ten o'clock at night, and the neighborhood was already quietly lying in the dark.The street lights on the road were cut off from the entrance of the community, and it was pitch black inside.

There are no street lights in the community, and Mrs. B can only rely on the headlights to illuminate the road in front of her.

Several cars had been parked at the entrance, and Mrs. B had to look for a suitable parking space while driving.But unfortunately, there are either cement bricks and tiles piled up, or the demolition waste is thrown on the ground at random. It is by no means easy to find an open space.

Unknowingly, Mrs. B drove deeper into the community.

While Mrs. B was looking for a parking space, she received a call from her daughter.

While urging Mrs. B to go home early, the daughter thoughtfully told Mrs. B that there might be a storm coming tonight.

Mrs. B hung up the phone and didn't know where she drove.I saw an empty building where the headlights of the car were shining.It may be a little bit reluctant to say that it is an empty building.It was a building that was demolished to the third floor, and all the walls were removed, like a three-dimensional parking lot.

Mrs. B looked around and found that this building turned out to be the best choice at present.

The opened first floor is like the entrance of a parking lot. Because of the limited light source, the inside is bottomless.The partition between the first floor and the second floor has not yet been removed, so there is no need to worry about the rain when parking the newly washed car here.

Thinking of this, Mrs. B drove towards the empty building that was open to her.

The steps of this building have been demolished, and Mrs. B drove into it and found that the space inside was much larger than she imagined.

After finding out where to park, Mrs. B started to reverse the car.

Just as Mrs. B was slowly reversing the car, the reversing warning suddenly issued a "beep beep" sound, which echoed in the empty space, frightening Mrs. B into a shudder, and hurriedly stopped the car .

Mrs. B checked from the display screen of the reversing instrument. There was an open space behind the car. Although there were some broken bricks and small stones, they did not affect the car body.

Mrs. B didn't think much, and continued to reverse the car.

But once again, the warning sound appeared again.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep.

Mrs. B stopped the car again. In addition to checking the reversing display, she also looked back at the rear of the car.

Nothing.

Mrs. B's car has just been overhauled a few days ago, and there is no problem.It should be something behind the car that the camera didn't see, blocking the road.Thinking of this, Mrs. B stopped the car and got out of the car.

Mrs. B illuminated herself with her phone and walked towards the back of the car.

Still nothing.

Mrs. B wandered around behind the car, but found nothing.In desperation, she had to kick some broken bricks and stones on the ground aside, and sat back in the car.

Mrs. B restarted the car and reversed it again.

Sure enough, the reversing radar alarm sounded again.

Mrs. B thought at the time that the reversing radar should be broken.So she ignored its warning and continued backing up.

At this moment, Mrs. B suddenly felt that something seemed to be pressed against the left rear wheel of her car, and the car body shook unsteadily.

This community has been deserted for some time, and it is not uncommon for some stray animals to appear here.Thinking of this, Mrs. B hurriedly stopped the car, and ran out of the car with her mobile phone to check.

As a result, there was still nothing.

The left rear wheel of the car was firmly attached to the ground with nothing underneath.

Mrs. B was worried, and squatted down again, pointing the light of the mobile phone under the car.Inside, there was nothing suspicious either.

Mrs. B breathed a sigh of relief and got up.But at this moment, when he heard the car door that he forgot to close because he got out of the car in a hurry, he suddenly closed it with a "bang".

Mrs. B held up the mobile phone and swept the light source towards the car.

The light seems to push a way through the thick ink-like space.In such light, Mrs. B vaguely saw from the rear window of the car that there seemed to be a person sitting in the back seat of her car.

Mrs. B took a deep breath first, then she couldn't stand still for a while, and she took a few steps back unconsciously.Then the cat got down again, and carefully took a picture of the rear window of the car with the mobile phone.

Indeed, there are people in the back seat of the car!

The man sat with his head bowed, his spine and back almost at a ninety-degree right angle.Wearing black clothes, the same color as Qi Er's short hair.

It should be a girl.

As the mother, Mrs. B immediately judged the age of the man, which should be only a few years older than her own daughter.

Mrs. B didn't know when the girl appeared and sneaked into the car.However, after seeing just a little girl, apart from being frightened, there was also a trace of worry.

Mrs. B took courage and walked to the back door of her car.

As she approached the door, Mrs. B bent down and pointed her phone at the car window at the same time.

There is nothing wrong with being a girl. Mrs. B looked at the girl carefully through the car window.

After confirming, Mrs. B wanted to open the car door, but hesitated for a while, and decided to knock on the car window first.

The girl ignored Mrs. B, still lowering her head in a very strange posture.

"Hi, what's your name?" Mrs. B tried to speak to the girl.

However, no reply.

"Why are you here by yourself, do you want Auntie to take you home?" Mrs. B said again.

This time, the girl responded.

Although she didn't speak, she nodded.

Mrs. B breathed a sigh of relief, opened the car door and said, "Then tell Auntie, where do you live?"

But as soon as the car door opened, Mrs. B saw everything in front of her, and the smile disappeared from her face immediately, and she staggered back two steps.

There was no one in the back seat of the car.

Mrs. B took a picture of her surroundings with her mobile phone.

At this time, there was a dead silence all around, not even the sound of wind blowing grass.

Mrs. B closed the rear door and looked into the car again through the window.

Fortunately, no suspicious figures appeared in the car.

Mrs. B immediately ran back to the driver's seat, started the car, and turned around worryingly to look behind her.

She didn't even fasten her seat belt, and Mrs. B gripped the steering wheel with slightly trembling hands.But as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, he heard the alarm of the reversing radar.

Only then did Mrs. B realize that the car was still in reverse gear, and she quickly changed gears.

Just when she was about to leave here immediately, Mrs. B saw a pair of feet on the display screen of the reversing instrument.A pair of small, pale feet stood in the open space behind the car.

Mrs. B screamed, stepped on the gas pedal, and the car drove frantically out of the empty building.

Mrs. B seemed to lose her sense of direction in the fright. She drove for some time, but she never left the campus.The scenery in front of her seems to be constantly reincarnating, the dead trees at the intersection, the abandoned apartment buildings, the weeds and broken bricks on the roadside, the uneven potholes on the cement road... the dead trees at the intersection, the deserted The flats of the apartment buildings, the weeds and broken bricks on the roadside, the uneven pits on the cement road...

After much difficulty, and I don’t know how long it took, Mrs. B finally saw the gate of the community.

The warm orange light of the street lamp outside the gate was like a lighthouse, pointing out the escape exit for Mrs. B.

Mrs. B. immediately moved towards the light source.

The gate of the community was finally in front of his eyes, and Mrs. B slowed down her breathing with sweat on her forehead.

But at this time, Mrs. B saw it from the rearview mirror, and the girl in the back seat appeared again!

Mrs. B stepped on the brakes in panic, and the car stopped in the dark a few meters away from the street light at the exit.

Mrs. B didn't dare to turn her head, she just watched from the rearview mirror.

The girl was still the same as before, sitting in the back with her head bowed.A protruding cervical vertebra protruded from her hair and neck, which looked particularly creepy.

Mrs. B immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the bright place.

At the moment Mrs. B rushed out of the gate of the complex, she saw in the rearview mirror that the girl raised her head.

"It was a girl, an ordinary girl," Mrs. B recalled.

However, she went on to write that although the girl looked like an ordinary person, the smile on her face looked particularly weird in the dark car.

The moment Mrs. B drove out of the community, the girl in the back seat disappeared out of thin air.There was no time to blink, it just disappeared in the light and shadow.

Mrs. B, who came out of that community, hadn't recovered from her fear, and she drove the car without knowing where she was going.It wasn't until I saw someone waving at me that I realized that it was my husband and daughter waiting on the side of the road with umbrellas.

When it rained, Mrs. B recalled, she didn't even notice it.

In the photo attached by Mrs. B, there is nothing weird about where the light hits.However, in the dark corner of the photo, there seemed to be what seemed to be a human figure.It was somewhat similar to the girl with her head bowed in a strange posture described by Mrs. B.

Perhaps, it may also be an illusion caused by psychological hints.If it is piled up construction waste, it is also possible in such dim light.

I sent the photos to other people for identification, and to be fair, I deliberately didn't tell them the story behind the photos.Sure enough, most people couldn't see anything strange about it.

And when I published the results, I still got mixed opinions.

Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Zuo Zhenzhen sent a text message.

"I'll be home next week."

I immediately replied, "I'll pick you up".

Usually, if I say that, she will definitely send a smiley face.

But after waiting several times, there was no reply from Zuo Zhenzhen.

Although she felt a little abnormal, she reassured herself that she should be busy with work again.

Colleagues were still discussing, I stretched out and looked out the window behind me.

Although there was no snow, the cold wind was bitter, and the bare branches shivered in the cold wind.The passers-by who came and went hurried past with their necks curled up.

Only he didn't.

I suddenly saw a man standing downstairs in the office.

He was wearing a black coat, with his hands in his pockets, looking up at me.

I'm almost sure it's this sight.That gaze that has been following me.

I stood in the office on the third floor, watching the man carefully through the glass that shivered slightly in the cold wind.

The moment I thought about it, he suddenly showed that familiar smile.

Then, he turned and left.
