Qimen Dunjia

Chapter 40 Everything is advancing step by step
Lou Xiaolou finally changed to a hotel.

This hotel is about three stops away from Sangya's house, and since then, it has been difficult for him to follow Sangya.However, he had to leave the original hotel, and he was already terrified of that enthusiastic old man who appeared every night in the middle of the night.

Everything is moving smoothly toward Sangya's dead end: Sangya's three college entrance examination volunteers are all universities in Beijing.

When Sangya's mother was on a business trip, Lou Xiaolou once "borrowed" someone else's mobile phone and sent her a few text messages, hoping to open a gap in her body and prevent Sangya from entering Beijing.As a result, no effect.Finally, Sangya was admitted to the University of Chinese Medicine.The University of Chinese Medicine is very close to Lou Xiaolou's empty house.

Tomorrow, Sangya is going to Beijing, going to Lou Xiaolou, going to that dead end, going to April 2007, 4.She looked excited and nervous.

On this day, when Sangya and her mother went downstairs to buy vegetables, Lou Xiaolou was guarding the door.They walked out of the door, and Tiaotiao also got out, and ran downstairs.Mom caught up with it, picked it up, and threw it through the door.Taking advantage of this gap, Lou Xiaolou slipped into Sangya's house again.

Hop at home.

He seemed to know Lou Xiaolou, and he snorted a few times hostilely, but stopped screaming.Lou Xiaolou brought a steamed bun from the kitchen and broke it piece by piece for it to eat.Tiao Tiao eats his short mouth, so he no longer exposes his shortcomings, he doesn't hum, and even walks up to him and licks his feet in a friendly manner.

At this moment, Lou Xiaolou felt that Tiaotiao had become his only relative.

When he was invisible, Tiaotiao was the only creature in this time and space who could see him.With it, he feels that he exists; with it, he doesn't feel so alone.

He made a funny face at Tiaotiao for a while, and it turned out to be very fond of watching and couldn't take his eyes off it.

When Sang Ya and her mother were about to come back, Lou Xiaolou walked into Sang Ya's bedroom. He took out a notebook from her schoolbag, tore off a piece of paper, and put it on the dressing table.Then, he took out his own pen—the fountain pen he had brought from Beijing, filled it with Sang Ya's ink, and played with it in his hand.He was thinking about what to write for Sangya, so as not to be tampered with by something in the dark, so as to successfully prevent Sangya from going to Beijing.This requires wisdom.

That night, mother lay on Sangya's bed, turned off the light, and chatted with her daughter.Lou Xiaolou has been standing by the dressing table, listening quietly.At around twelve o'clock, he gently lay down on the ground, avoided being visible for a minute, and slowly stood up again.

The mother and daughter are talking about the future, full of longing.

They are ignorant of the disaster to come.

After her mother left Sangya's bedroom, Sangya suddenly turned on the light, sat up, and stared blankly ahead.At this time, Lou Xiaolou was standing opposite her, he could see her, but she couldn't see him.Lou Xiaolou was very sad.Today is his last chance to prevent Sangya from entering Beijing.

Finally, Sangya fixed her eyes on the white paper on the dressing table.She felt Lou Xiaolou's presence, and even spoke to him: "I know you are in my room, what do you want to say, just say it."
Lou Xiaolou picked up a pen and wrote heavily on the paper: Do not go to Beijing.

She looked at the words on the paper and asked nervously, "Why?"
Lou Xiaolou wrote it again: Never go to Beijing.

At this time, his heart was like a knife.There is nothing more distressing than this--a dead swamp ahead, and your dearest does not know it, and she thinks it is a beautiful meadow.You know the truth, but you can't tell her clearly, you can only watch her walk forward step by step...

Sangya said, "I don't know if you are a human or a ghost, but I tell you, it's impossible."
He also wrote: Listen to me, don't go to Beijing.

Sangya didn't listen to Lou Xiaolou's dissuasion, she said firmly: "I will not change. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will go. Please leave now."
Lou Xiaolou was stunned.

At this moment, he felt unprecedented despair.At this moment, he suddenly felt that the God of Destiny was powerful and irresistible.He looked at Sang Ya quietly, two lines of tears rolled down.

His eyes are the eyes of 2007, and the tears he shed are the tears of 2006.

Sangya couldn't see his eyes, but saw his tears.

Sangya boarded the train to Beijing.

Most of the other students were escorted by their parents, and Sangya was sent to the station by her mother alone.

When the two parted at the pit stop, Sangya's mother cried.Sangya got into the car alone.

Barefoot, Lou Xiaolou stepped over the railing and followed her into the car.At this time, he thought that there was only one way to let Sangya know about the disaster on April 2007, 4—to go to Beijing and tell her everything through gestures when he appeared.Then, he must learn to speak dumb.

On the train, Lou Xiaolou stood next to Sang Ya.

It was the first time for Sang Ya to travel far away, and he was afraid that her money would be stolen.

If, now that he has mastered Qimen Dunjia proficiently, he will predict whether Sang Ya's trip will show signs of bankruptcy, and if not, he doesn't have to worry so much.

After driving, Lou Xiaolou suddenly thought, could this train arrive at Beijing Railway Station in half an hour like it did when it came?In that case, it means that he returned to the normal time and space from the chaotic time and space...

Thinking of this, he immediately became worried - if that was the case, Sangya would not exist, because she had already died on April 2007, 4!
Half an hour passed, and the train was still passing through the wet jungle.Lou Xiaolou felt relieved.

In the middle of the night, the enthusiastic old man appeared again.

He was still wearing the same white vest, gray underpants, and a pair of train slippers underneath.Holding the teapot, he said humbly as he walked, "Which passenger needs tea? You're welcome. Who needs it?"
Everyone in the car looked at him vigilantly, suspecting that he was selling tea, but no one answered.

He walked up to Sangya, bent down, and said, "Girl, do you need tea? I just brewed it, try it."
Sang Ya opened her eyes and said, "Master, thank you, I don't need it."
The old man walked over and said as he walked: "Which passenger needs tea? You are welcome, try it."
Lou Xiaolou kept staring at the old figure.The old man walked through the rows of seats, and finally got out of this car and went to another car.He didn't look back once.

The night is long and the journey is long.

The train is like a huge cradle, shaking all the passengers evenly.Sangya closed her eyes.The fat businessman next to her closed his eyes.The prim boy across from her closed his eyes.The middle-aged woman next to the boy closed her eyes.Everyone in the car closed their eyes.

Only Lou Xiaolou opened his eyes.

The night seemed as long as ten nights.

After getting off the car, Lou Xiaolou followed Sang Ya closely.

Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the ticket gate, he was stopped by the ticket inspector.He hadn't received this kind of "treatment" for a long time, and he was taken aback.

Ticket inspector: "Sir, please show your ticket."
He looked at the ticket inspector, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.When he got on the bus in Huadu, he was invisible, and he couldn't buy a ticket even if he wanted to.If he does get a ticket, then the whole train will see a ticket flying in the carriage...

How could he have imagined that when he arrived in Beijing, he actually appeared!

He whispered, "You, can you see me?"
"Don't play dumb, sir! Show your ticket, please!" said the ticket inspector, looking at his feet.He didn't wear shoes, which seemed odd.

He became anxious and said loudly, "Can't you hear me?"
The ticket inspector said, "Even if you are deaf, you can't travel for free! Do you hear me clearly?"
While arguing, a policeman came over, patted him on the shoulder, and led him into the fare-replenishment room.

After making up the ticket and being criticized, Lou Xiaolou finally got out of the station.

Sangya has disappeared.

He knew that it was Lou Xiaolou who picked her up.On this day last year, he was the one who picked up Sangya holding a sign, which said: Take you to the past and come to the future.The first time we met, when Sang Ya was standing in front of him, he found something dirty on her nostril, and he reached out to help her remove it...

He also knew that he didn't let Sangya live in the school, but let her live in the empty house in Shaoyaodi Haohong Community...

He suddenly realized a problem: the other self lives in the house in the Asian Games Village, and Sang Ya lives in the house in Shaoyaodi. Where will he live after he comes back?
Also, he is a doctor, and his work unit is the North Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Now, another Lou Xiaolou works there, where does he go to work?
Also, that Bora car doesn't belong to him anymore.Its odometer has been reduced by more than 1 kilometers, and it is driven by another young Lou Xiaolou who is 360 and five days old...

When he returned from a trip, he had nothing left.

Lou Xiaolou is divided into two, the house and the car cannot be divided into two.However, there are two sets of keys.One of the sets, Lou Xiaolou, is on his body.

As he wandered the streets, he pondered what to do next.

This is Beijing, and there are two Lou Xiaolou.One is him, from 2007, and the other is himself in 2006, he is his past.Only one of him and him can appear in front of parents, friends, and colleagues, otherwise it will scare people to death...

That night, he knew that another self was going to take Sangya to the tea restaurant for dinner, and he also knew that they would talk about that portrait.Last year, he really didn't know what Sang Ya looked like, but the girl he drew for Lin Yaoyao was exactly the same as Sang Ya.He interpreted this as fate.

He also knew that after a while, the other self and Sangya would come out after dinner, and would pass by that dead-end alley to take her home.So, he quietly followed them...

This is the first time he sees himself.

The other was wearing a beige T-shirt and black trousers.That was exactly what I was wearing on this day last year.And now he is still wearing the clothes he wore when he went to Huadu on April 2007, 4, a light yellow formal shirt and a pair of navy blue formal trousers.

When a person looks at himself walking ahead, the horror is profound.
