1 That summer
In midsummer, the weather in Zhonghai City is like a child's face changing as soon as possible. It was clear just now, with the wind and sunny sunshine. In the blink of an eye, dark clouds covered the sky, thunder roared, and silver snakes danced. Without the gentle prelude, in the sudden whistling wind, raindrops as big as beans crackled and fell down, as if a thick rain curtain was raised between the sky and the earth.
The road that was dry just now seemed to be about to smoke by the heat waves, turned into a vast ocean in an instant. Cars were moving slowly like turtles in the heavy rain. The raindrops hit the car window glass and whistled, splashing to the ground and stirred up turbid water. Countless tall buildings in the distance were covered by mist and rain, becoming blurry, as if they were in a fairyland.
It was the evening when I got off work, I was riding an electric bike. The bicycle crowd was like a spider web, filling the streets and alleys of Zhonghai City. Originally, people were in the heat wave and wanted to go home early to enjoy the coolness of the air conditioner. Who would have thought that they would encounter a sudden thunderstorm, and suddenly noisy, noisy, and parking sounds one after another, with the harsh sound of car horns in the middle, and the whole city suddenly boiled like boiling water.
Under the bus stop on a remote street in the city.
Ji Nian, standing under the platform, arrived here one step ahead of time, so he was not wet. He had a tall figure and handsome appearance. A white short-sleeved shirt, a pair of small feet and jeans, and a capable short hair fully demonstrated his youth at the age of twenty. He wore headphones, listened quietly to the music of his mobile phone, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth made him look like he was walking out of the comics.
"The weather is really changing. It's raining all the time. Fortunately, I didn't ride a bike to work, otherwise I would have to be soaked in a drool." Ji Nian took two steps back, leaned against the platform pillar behind him, looked at the streets that had almost become small rivers, and shook his head and said to himself.
"Dingling..."
The monotonous cell phone ringtone rang happily. Ji Nian glanced at the name on the screen, took off her headphones and connected it with a smile. As soon as she called out a sister Xiaowei, a gentle and intellectual sweet voice came from over there, "Xiao Nian, it's raining outside. Have you got off work? Don't take the bus later. Just take a taxi, hurry up like this."
"Sister Xiaowei, it's okay. There's no difference between taking a taxi and taking a bus this day. I'd better wait a little longer, and the bus will come later." Ji Nian opened her mouth and showed her white teeth and said with a smile.
"I guess you would say this, okay, I'm off work anyway, you'll be slower on the way, and you'll be surprised when you come back."
"Is there anything delicious?"
"You are so smart, yes, you, the secret chicken soup cooked by Sister Xiaoxi himself."
"Wow, the chicken soup stewed by Miss Xiaoxi is very delicious. Let's stew it first, wait until I go back, don't drink it all."
"I know, how old I am, I still look like a greedy cat."
"Hehe, delicious food cannot be defeated."
"Okay, I won't chat anymore. If you have anything to say when you go home, I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Nian showed a knowing smile on her face, and a strong warmth surged in her heart. It was really good to be cared for by others. Thinking of two beautiful sisters at home, the smile on his face became brighter.
But then again, there are two beautiful sisters who are real, but if you want to say something, it is a bit exaggerated. To put it bluntly, it is the house that Ji Nian rents. He is about to turn 20 this year, and now he is a student, a senior student in clinical medicine at Dongzhou Medical University, and is about to go to junior high school.
Unlike most students in the class who choose to go out for travel, fun and relax when the summer is in the summer, Ji Nian chose to stay in Zhonghai City to work part-time and make money. With the enthusiastic help of the teacher, he has been working part-time in this pharmacy for almost two months.
Part-time jobs in two months of summer vacation can bring Ji Nian an additional income of 3,000 yuan. This is already a huge sum of money for him who only has 600 yuan of living expenses per month. In addition, he can apply what he has learned in a pharmacy to gain knowledge, so he is very satisfied with this job and is very attentive.
The reason why they rent a house outside is actually a coincidence. Although Dongzhou Medical University still allows students to stay on campus this year, it is because all dormitories have to be renovated and students can live there, but it is definitely not possible when it is just a holiday. If you want to live there, you have to wait until the end of August.
Obviously, it is just to ask students to rent a house and are unwilling to rent a house? It doesn’t matter, just go home. It’s impossible to delay the renovation of the entire building for a student, which is obviously unrealistic.
Ji Nian has a part-time job, so of course he won't go home. Just when he was looking for a house, his classmate Hu Li introduced the one he is renting now. Hu Li said that this three-bedroom house was lived in by her sister and friends, and she happened to rent one of them. Instead of finding someone who was unfamiliar, it would be better to rent it to Ji Nian, who was a wise man.
Of course, her sister originally wanted to find a female tenant, but she couldn't resist Hu Li's lobbying. In addition, seeing that Ji Nian is indeed a good character and looks very pleasing to the eye, she nodded and agreed.
Thinking of the two beautiful sisters living in the same room who have been taking good care of me, Ji Nian couldn't help but smile. When she lived with the beautiful women, tsk, if the five guys in the dormitory knew that I had been doing this in the summer vacation after school, would you be envious of me?
"Everyone said that you were asked to check the weather forecast when you went out, but you just didn't listen. Now it's gone, and it's soaked in a chicken. What do you think?"
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I forgot to see the weather forecast. Don't be angry. Let's not wait for the bus and just take the call."
"I didn't take a taxi this day. Taxis are not as safe as buses. Please wait for me honestly."
"Okay, wait, listen to you, is it cold? Come and hug me."
...
Ji Nian looked at the young young man and woman in front of him showing their love in front of him, and couldn't help but shrugging and sighing secretly. The man and woman seemed not old enough to be theirs last year, but they had already begun to enjoy a sweet love. What about them?
He is still alone. He seems to have studied medicine since childhood, and he has never had a girlfriend even when he entered university. Isn’t this a bit waste of his wonderful college time? It seems that I want to find an opportunity to ask the fourth brother, the love saint, for advice, and have a passionate and unforgettable love before the university is about to end.
Squeak... Squeak!
Just as Ji Nian's mind was in full swing, a harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground suddenly came from his ears. He looked up and his face changed suddenly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously took a step back. The scene in front of him was too thrilling. A red beetle actually ran forward in a twist and crooked manner in the heavy rain. The tires and the ground were constantly rubbing and slipping. Although the wipers were swinging desperately, they could not see clearly the situation inside the car.
Fortunately, there are fewer traffic on this section of the road and there are no pedestrians riding bicycles on the road, otherwise there must have been a series of collisions at this moment.
“Not good, bad.”
Ji Nian's heart skipped a beat. He found that the beetle showed no sign of stopping and rushed directly towards the Minxin River on the roadside.
Bang!
The railings of Minxin River were directly smashed to pieces, and the beetles fell into the river like wild horses. Not to mention that it was raining heavily now, just say that the river usually flows through water and has a depth of several meters. In this case, the river water is even more surging. If people cannot be rescued in the shortest time, then he will be dead.
"Why are you still standing there? Call the police quickly."
Ji Nian rushed from the bus stop like a gust of wind, yelling as he passed by the men and women. Then, regardless of whether they heard or not, they rushed to the river in three or two steps. At this time, the rear of the car had disappeared from the surging water.
In critical moments, saving people is important.
Without thinking, Ji Nian had no time to take off her clothes and shoes. She jumped over the broken railing and jumped into the river with one leap. Although it was summer now, in this stormy weather, the river water was cold and harsh. When Ji Nian swam to the bottom of the river, all the silt and weeds that were tumbling up due to the vehicle's impact were swelling, blocking his sight, a strange smell of decay and dampness surged wildly.
"Hey, what the hell."
Ji Nian resisted the strange smell and slashed forward with his hands. As soon as he pulled a ball of mud, who thought that a chain of water plants was exposed from it, and he instinctively stretched out his hands and grabbed it. Just as the moment his ten fingers touched the necklace, a stinging pain suddenly came from his fingertips, and a dazzling light burst out from the chain, which made him unable to open his eyes on the spot.
But when he opened his eyes again, he found that the chain in front of him had disappeared without a trace, and only the swaying and changing water plants were suspended.
"Is it an illusion?"
Ji Nian's brows were slightly locked, his face full of confusion. However, he didn't have much time to think about this. In the car that was close to him, the front door kept coming from the low sound of impact. When he swam over and through the glass window, he could clearly see a girl trying hard to push the car door inside, but she couldn't do it at all.
I'll do it! Ji Nian pedaled the car door with both feet, grabbed the handlebars tightly with both hands, and pulled it out hard. Fortunately, he followed him as soon as the Beetle rushed into the bottom of the river. Although it was indeed difficult to open due to water pressure, the door was finally opened in time after working together inside and outside.
The girl sitting inside rushed out quickly, but as soon as she showed up, she drank a few sips of water and grabbed her with both hands. After finally grasping Ji Nian, she hugged her tightly and refused to let go.
"Don't move around."
Ji Nian shook his hands repeatedly, but the girl showed no sign of letting go. He did not dare to hesitate anymore. He clamped the girl with one hand, kicked the top of the car with both feet, and swam towards the water with the reaction force. When Ji Nian tried hard to drag the woman back to the shore, he just put it down, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell directly to the ground and fainted.
