Hongdu, a famous city in ancient times, was once praised as a place of natural treasures and outstanding people. In modern times, red seeds sprouted in it, and a great team was born here.

However, in modern times, Hongdu is just one of the second tier cities that are not well-known.

Li Xiu is one of the thousands of ordinary people in Hongdu.

In his early twenties, he has a pretty face, deep eyes, and no obvious emotion on his face. When he works hard, his brows are always slightly wrinkled. This should be the impression that Li Xiu often gives to people.

"Brother Zhang, if there's nothing wrong in the shop, I'll go first?"

Li Xiu set up the tables and chairs that had been polished one by one. While washing his hands, he turned his head and looked at the wall clock. When he knew the time, he asked.

In the counter at the door of the shop, a middle-aged man with a slight weight was roughly checking the accounts of the day according to the calculator to see if there were any omissions.

After hearing Li Xiu's request, Zhang Chang turned and took a glance at the situation in the store.

Did not see the wrong, he casually replied: "it's OK, you go first, don't miss the bus."

When Li Xiu passed the counter, he said: "brother Zhang, I'll go first."

In the sound of adding and subtracting buttons from the calculator, Zhang Chang looked at the account book and did not look up. He nodded his head in response.

After coming out of the Zhangjia noodle shop, a cool breeze came in late autumn.

Sensing that the temperature dropped a lot, Li Xiu quickly pulled the slightly thin coat to his neck and looked up at the sky.

Nearly eleven o'clock in the night sky was originally dark is the main tone, but today's gray clouds cover the sky is tight, can only vaguely see where the moon is, the stars are half missing.

"It looks like a heavy rain is coming."

At the same time, Li Xiu quickened his pace.

Under the dim yellow light projected by the roadside lamp, there was no one at this time, so Li Xiu didn't care so much and trotted on.

Fortunately, there is a bus stop just a hundred meters away from zhangjiamianguan, which is not too far away.

After Li Xiu trotted all the way to the station, the last bus stopped in front of him.

Get on the bus, swipe the card and take a seat.

At this time, there were only a few people in the bus, and there was no sound of conversation among acquaintances. It was very quiet.

But the silence didn't last long and was broken by the increasing rain.

One after another, the raindrops, carrying the accumulated falling power from a height of 1000 meters, hit the glass hard, and the sound came into Li Xiu's ears sitting by the window.

Hearing this, Li Xiu turned his head and looked out of the window. The raindrops blurred the window, making him unable to see everything out of the window.

After taking back his eyes, he frowned and remembered that the bus stop near the community was a long distance away from home.

If it rains like this, it is estimated that when he runs into the corridor, he will be almost wet all over. It will be a troublesome matter for today or tomorrow.

In the next 20 minutes, it depends on whether the weather favors him or not. He will keep the rain down a little.

At this time, it's late at night. There are very few vehicles on the urban roads, and the slow Buses seem to speed up.

Originally, it took more than 20 minutes by car, and the bus took Li Xiu to his destination in more than 10 minutes.

By the bus door, Li Xiu got off and stepped across the puddle beside the road and into the "safe area" under the bus stop sign.

In this instant, I don't know how many raindrops fell on Li Xiu's head and shoulders, and his coat got wet.

I didn't get a clear view of the rain until I got off the bus.

"What a terrible day

Li Xiu complained.

It's not too much to describe the rain in front of us with the torrential rain.

It seems that the heavy rain has trapped Li Xiu under the bus stop, but how can we say that Li Xiu can't stand here all the time and wait for the rain to stop before walking, let alone look at the momentum. It's not impossible for the rain to rain overnight.

Li Xiu looked at the direction of the community. Although the rain was heavy, he could clearly see that the security room of the community was still on.

After a few thoughts, Li Xiu took off his coat and put it on his head.

Braved the heavy rain, three steps and two steps to the direction of the community.

Dozens of steps later, the coat was almost wet, and Li Xiu also successfully ran to the eaves of the security room in the community.

In fact, it's the security room, but usually there is only one doorman.

Relying on the impression that he was "familiar and seemed to have seen him several times", plus a few good words, Li Xiu came out of the security room with a wet coat in one hand and a slightly old black umbrella in the other.

Although he had an umbrella, Li Xiu was not slow.

After all, only wearing a thin shirt, under the attack of the rain and cool wind, every extra stay will add a possibility for tomorrow's cold and fever.

Although the community Li Xiu rented was very big, it was also very old.

In terms of "historical traces" and "cultural accumulation", Li Xiu dares to guarantee that his community must be among the best in all the communities in the city.

Moreover, in the case of this community, he still rents, and the rent is the negative storeroom that others give when they buy a building.

Li Xiu's face was full of bitterness.

After bypassing a building with some peeling walls, Li Xiu saw his home, or the entrance to his home.

After all, to put it bluntly, his home can't be seen above the ground.

At this time, there are only a few windows in the whole building, and most people have already fallen asleep.

Naturally, those who haven't slept have their own reasons, and Li Xiu, one of the households on the fourth floor, just knows why.

Because that household is to rent the allocated warehouse to his family at a relatively low price.

An ordinary middle-aged couple and a child in senior three.

The boy is about to take the college entrance examination. He has to study at school and will come back very late at night. The couple are not sure that they have to wait for their son, so they haven't gone to bed so late.

The boy Li Xiu met several times when he paid the rent. Although he looked like an adult, he was still a bit immature at his age. His eyes were still a little evasive and reserved when he saw strangers.

He is an ordinary high school boy who has not yet entered the society.

In fact, Li Xiu is not much older than that boy. If he is old, he should be studying now.

Different, he should be studying in University, sophomore year

But that's normal, and life is always full of big and small accidents.

For example, losing money, catching a cold, sprained feet and so on are all minor accidents that are harmless and will not have any major impact.

And fate is joking with you, when you don't have a good grasp of the scale, it's not without.

For example, car accidents and even the death of both parents caused by car accidents

According to the general statistics of relevant departments in a certain year, there will be an average of more than 4 million traffic accidents in China every year, among which more than 200000 people are killed in traffic accidents.

No matter how big data, the probability of this is not unacceptable.

But in the middle of the class, the teacher called Li Xiu out with sympathy and a little sadness to tell him the news. At that time, Li Xiu was still unbelievable and unbearable.

Accidents are always sudden, but no matter how sad, the follow-up of the accident still has to be dealt with.

With the help of relatives and elders, the lawsuit and the affairs behind his parents, Li Xiu has also done a good job.

There is no such thing as the second generation of rich people who are drunk, hit dead people and bribe judges to confuse black and white. Even speaking of the accident, his parents were mainly responsible at that time.

At the crossroads, the brakes failed, the car ran out of control and ran into a van, followed by a series of traffic accidents.

His parents were killed on the spot, the van driver was seriously injured and sent to the hospital for a long time before he survived, in addition to several minor injuries.

The huge amount of compensation after the car accident hollowed out Li Xiu's family, which was rich.

In January, the parents, the house and the car disappeared. Originally, a normal family of three left Li Xiu alone after the car accident.

At that time, Li Xiu was really hard and confused. He felt like a walking corpse, dull and cold.

But fortunately, time can have the effect of soothing pain. It took Li Xiu several months to go from the unbearable grief to the apparent sadness.

But no matter what, people always have to live. After that, Li Xiu didn't go to school because he couldn't and didn't want to.

But to enter the society ahead of time to earn money so that they can live. In a twinkling of an eye, it has been two years since I thought about it.

It was just a flash of thought in his mind. Li Xiu under the umbrella drew back his eyes from the bright window on the high ground. A trace of sadness in the corner of his eyes disappeared quickly. He breathed a sigh, and then walked quickly to the entrance of the building.

Almost at the same time, Li Xiu's dark gray thick cloud turned over ten thousand meters above his head, dazzling and uncertain. A thick cloud seemed to be brewing something.

At a certain moment, everything slowed down, and the speed of raindrops falling became extremely slow. The low water crown that Li Xiu stepped out of his front foot had not yet fallen, and the next step was when his sole was about to touch the ground covered by the thin rain.

Above Li Xiu's head, a bright and dazzling silver flower cut through the dark night sky and exploded silently. The direction of the "flower branch" pointed to a tiny umbrella figure on the ground.
