At best, you can only remember the plot and then write it down in your own words. If your writing is good, you can manage to express some of the exciting moments, and it will still be readable. If your writing is poor, even the best plot ideas will be a mess if you can't express them.
Unless it's a truly exceptional literary work that one can read endlessly and even recite from memory, and it's not very long, it's unlikely that one will remember the specific language and words.
The next day, Li Mu was having lunch when Sun Yuan came over and said, "Sir, those two female classmates drove out this morning."
Li Mu gave an "oh" and nodded casually.
Sun Yuan said, "They took two more girls with them, also carrying large bags and small packages, so they must be staying here."
Li Mu said, "Let them live in that villa. If you want to help others, then help them, as long as they are not shady people."
"Also, since there are more people, we should deliver more food so that no one goes hungry."
Sun Yuan nodded silently: "I've got it, sir."
After finishing lunch, Li Mu went to his bedroom, intending to take a nap, when Zhao Qing called.
"Li Mu, did I disturb you?"
Li Mu laughed and said, "Who called me Brother Li yesterday? I'll call you Li Mu today."
Zhao Qing was slightly embarrassed: "How about I still call you Brother Li?"
Li Mu said, "No, Sister Qing, just call me by my name. It sounds so awkward to hear 'Brother Li'."
Zhao Qing laughed and said, "Then why do you still call me Sister Qing?"
Li Mu said, "There's nothing I can do. A lot of people at university call you that. I'm used to it. Besides, your birthday is older than mine."
Zhao Qing snorted and said, "Women are most afraid of being told they're old. You can treat me like a younger sister, but don't call me Sister Qing, call me Little Sister Qing!"
Li Mu chuckled: "Qingmei, which Qingmei? Is it the Qingmei of Qingmei?"
Zhao Qing blushed slightly: "What are you saying? That's not it at all! Never mind. Just call me Sister Qing!"
Li Mu asked, "Sister Qing, what's the matter?"
Zhao Qing said, "There are two junior girls who are very close to me and Huihui. It's too hot outside, and they're quite pitiful. Huihui and I discussed it and decided to pick them up this morning. Is that alright?"
Li Mu said, "I've heard about this too. Didn't I tell you yesterday that you can live in the house? As long as you're not a shady character, you can make your own decisions."
Zhao Qing said, "Thank you, Li Mu. I promise there won't be any shady characters. It will just be the four of us, no one else."
Li Mu said, "Okay, let me know if you have any difficulties. I'll have them deliver more ingredients."
Zhao Qing said happily, "Thank you, thank you so much!"
As he spoke, he opened a door, quietly went inside, and then closed it tightly again.
He whispered, "Li Mu, I've found out for you. Huihui has never been in a relationship before."
Li Mu was speechless: "When did I ask you to inquire about this?!"
Zhao Qing said matter-of-factly, "Is that even a question? With Huihui's figure, temperament, and looks... didn't you have a crush on her before? I was creating opportunities for you, and you didn't appreciate my kindness."
"Besides, aren't innocent girls like Huihui, who have never been in a relationship, exactly what you men love most?"
Zhao Qing's words left Li Mu speechless. Jiang Hui, as the school beauty and the goddess in the hearts of all the boys in the class, was someone he had secretly admired before, based on his memory. Back then, Jiang Hui was the class monitor, highly talented in art, and aloof; none of the boys in the class dared to confess their feelings.
As far as he knew, Jiang Hui devoted herself entirely to her studies during her four years of university and indeed never had a romantic relationship. According to her classmates, her family was not very harmonious either; her parents divorced and each remarried. Her closest relative was her aunt, who later went to Italy.
This is also why Jiang Hui went directly to Italy to study after graduating from university.
However, he didn't have any deep feelings of unrequited love for Jiang Hui; he could only say that she was indeed a very beautiful and elegant girl.
If she could be my girlfriend, I certainly wouldn't object.
He coughed and said, "Alright, thank you for your kindness, but let nature take its course."
Zhao Qing said disappointedly, "Fine, I was originally planning to match you two up, but it seems I'm more anxious than the emperor."
Li Mu smiled and said, "I am very grateful that you are thinking of your old classmate. I will ask you for help if I need it in the future."
Zhao Qing snorted: "I'm not helping. Go after him yourself."
Li Mu smiled, chatted for a few more minutes, and then hung up the phone.
……
The next few days passed uneventfully.
However, in mid-April, the temperature, which had remained stable for a while, started to rise again, reaching a high of 55 degrees Celsius. The scorching sun baked the earth, and heat waves rolled in the air, making the living environment even more harsh.
Fortunately, with this extra month and a half of buffer time, the transfer of supplies and personnel in coastal areas was mostly completed, and the government also made ample preparations, producing a large amount of heat insulation and heat-resistant materials and equipment.
However, the dangers of this rising temperature are still being manifested through nature.
In late April, Li Mu was scrolling through short videos. Fortunately, major internet companies had recently carried out high-temperature protection upgrades to their data centers, and mobile operators like China Mobile and China Unicom had also upgraded the insulation of their cell towers.
In some rural areas, where there may be temporary delays, poor signal may cause internet outages. In cities, especially medium and large cities, the signal is generally good.
I had just come across a few videos of people asking for help because they were short of water and medicine, and after scrolling through a few more, I suddenly came across a video taken by a drone, and the footage was particularly stunning.
The location in the video should be in China. Judging from the desolation, the people must have just been evacuated. There are still some people in some areas, so it should be a small county or town in a coastal area.
Apart from these places where large-scale westward migrations occurred, there was no other place where people evacuated on such a large scale.
The drone first flew to an asphalt road, where it could be seen that the asphalt on the road had melted and looked shiny, as if it were solidified liquid.
Forget about driving on it, even shoes will get stuck to it when you walk on it.
As the drone climbed higher and its camera focused on the streetlights, it revealed that many of the plastic parts had melted, and some had even crumbled and fallen to the ground.
The camera shifts to above a kindergarten. As it zooms in, some of the plastic toys, slides, and bouncy cars inside show signs of melting. Others are completely brittle from the sun, looking as if they would crumble at the slightest touch.
The camera then shifts to a grove of trees where the once lush leaves are now turning yellow, drying out, and falling. The younger trees, facing the scorching heat, have insufficient moisture stored within them; they appear dry on the outside, but it's uncertain whether any life remains inside.
The entire forest has withered. Facing the continued high temperatures, it's uncertain how many trees will survive, or even none at all.
In the woods, there were some animal carcasses, including cats and pet dogs, their fur all gone. There were also chickens and ducks, common in rural areas; judging by the degree of decomposition, they had only been dead for a few days, probably caused by the sudden rise in temperature a few days ago.
The camera pans across the desolate town and arrives at a small river. The riverbanks are paved with stone slabs, suggesting that the river must be flowing continuously and the scenery must be extremely beautiful on ordinary days.
However, due to the persistent high temperatures, most of the river water has evaporated, and in some places, the mottled riverbed has been exposed. There are many dead fish and rotten shrimp lying on the riverbank, and in the middle of the river, many fish have floated belly up.
Along the river, the dense expanse of white was a shocking sight.
Along the riverbank, there were also many animal carcasses, and some animals lay listlessly in the water, panting heavily.
It is estimated that if the high temperatures continue for some time, these animals will have little chance of escaping their predetermined fate.
The camera then switched several times, and what Li Mu saw was truly shocking. This was a global catastrophe that even threatened the continuation of human civilization.
After watching the video, Li Mu sighed. Such scenes are definitely not happening in just one place; they are happening or have already happened in many places across the country.
Fortunately, early warnings were issued, and the country made ample preparations during this period, so the casualties were not as great as imagined. Otherwise, the scene would have been...
I watched the video again and scrolled to the next one. It was as if I remembered his preferences. This one was similar to the previous one, but it was about the ocean.
Judging from the footage, it was taken by a drone in shallow waters, and the scene is equally shocking.
Such high temperatures may not have a significant impact on deep-sea areas, but they will have a huge impact on organisms and fish in shallow-sea areas.
According to the drone's camera footage, in some near-shore shallow sea areas, countless sea fish floated to the surface with their white bellies on the water, while countless other sea fish rolled and struggled on the surface of the water. After a while, they stopped moving and also floated to the surface with their white bellies on the water.
At that moment, the countless fish floating in the nearshore area turned the blue ocean white.
Leaving aside the damage caused by the continued high temperatures, the ocean is a complete ecosystem. The death of fish and aquatic life in shallow waters will also have a significant impact on the entire marine ecosystem.
However, humans are now struggling to protect themselves, so no one cares about marine life anymore.
The camera then shifts to an Arctic glacier.
The scene here is even more chilling: icebergs begin to crack and melt, slowly drifting towards the oceans. Various small animals cling to the icebergs, their faces filled with terror as they follow them into the unknown distance. In the silent scene, one can almost hear the crackling sounds of the melting glaciers, and the terrified screams of the small animals.
The camera then shifts to some islands bordering the Arctic, where the ice sheets have melted, revealing greenery and exposing the land beneath.
Soon, the camera shifted to a snow-capped mountain. Like the Arctic ice sheet, these mountains were beginning to melt slowly, and in some places, large chunks of rock were exposed.
For the first time in hundreds of thousands of years, these rocks and mountains have been covered by ice and snow, revealing their true appearance.
When the camera pans to some areas near the equator, the temperature is even higher. It is said that the temperature in some places has risen to 60 degrees Celsius, which is no longer suitable for human habitation.
The camera zooms in, panning across the ground. According to the description, this place was once a grassland, but now it's scorched earth, barren of everything. Occasionally, a gentle breeze blows, stirring up gusts of dust.
It makes one feel the vicissitudes of life in an instant, with grasslands turning into deserts in a short period of time.
After watching the video, Li Mu remained silent for a long time. Although there were no domestic scenes in the video, the cruel scene was still shocking.
If the high temperatures continue for several years, a mass extinction event that occurs once every tens of millions of years could very well happen again.
Whether humanity will become extinct like the dinosaurs and disappear from the earth is anyone's guess.
After looking at the dense, pessimistic, and despairing comments, Li Mu sighed softly.
What will the future hold? Who can know?
The next few days passed uneventfully. To avoid affecting his mood, Li Mu even stopped watching short videos. The more he watched, the more irritable and desperate he became.
I even secretly began to look forward to when the rain would come. Even if floods occur and some places are submerged, it's still better than the high temperatures continuing indefinitely, giving humanity a chance to catch its breath.
Countless netizens have expressed similar sentiments.
As if hearing everyone's expectations, the weather forecast for that day finally announced that a strong typhoon, along with a large amount of moisture, was moving towards inland areas.
The rain that everyone both hates and longs for seems to be finally coming.
