Text / See you every year

“According to the meteorological report of our station, the typhoon ‘Butterfly’ will land in Rongcheng in the middle of this month. All units and the general public are requested to do a good job in flood prevention in advance, and try to avoid going out during typhoon days.”

Because of this weather report, the small supermarket ushered in the excitement and congestion comparable to the Spring Festival stalls.

Jing Yu pushed the cart and squeezed into the crowd.

He picked things without looking at the price, and followed the example of the aunt in front of him, throwing what he got out of his hand into the car, turning around, and the car was full of piles.

“Brother, if you pick something, open your eyes anyway, what are you holding?” Mo Hai casually picked up two things from the cart.

—Seven-dimensional space and Hushubao.

Jing Yue: “…”

The boy raised his hand and scratched his lower eyelids, avoiding Mo Hai’s questioning gaze: “By the way, I took it wrong.”

“You pervert, is this something that can be done smoothly!”

“Yes, I’m perverted.” Jing Yu took the two things in his hand and threw them back into the car, and said in a low voice, “Shout louder if you have the ability.”

Mo Hai dared not speak out, and muttered: “Then you put it back yourself, I can’t afford to lose this person.”

Jing Yu grabbed two packs of sanitary napkins and checked again that there was nothing missing in the cart basket, “You go to the line to check out first, I’m hungry.”

“understood.”

Jing Chao often comes to this supermarket, but he has never been to the place where this thing is put. He grabbed two packs of sanitary napkins and walked around the supermarket twice before putting the thing back.

On the way to the cashier, he grabbed two more packs of potato chips. As soon as he walked out of the shelf area, he saw Mo Hai running towards him with a sad face.

“Brother, I met a thief!” Mo Hai originally had a fleshy face, but when he had a bitter face, he looked like the lettuce in Plants vs. Zombies.

Jing Yue wanted to laugh, and deliberately turned his eyes away from him: “What did the thief steal from you?”

“Pushing the cart, as soon as I push something in the cart, I just pull a bag, and the thing I push is pushed away.”

Jing Yue: “…”

“I haven’t paid the bill yet.”

“Just be glad you haven’t paid the bill yet.” Jing Yu put the two packs of potato chips in the recycling area, “Let’s go.”

“Where are you going?” Mo Hai lowered his head, “We didn’t buy anything…”

“Go eat first, and come back to buy tomorrow.” Jing Yue hooked his shoulders, “There are so many people, it will be dark when you go back to pick things up again, and then come to line up.”

“Then I can choose, you line up here.”

“Can we eat first?” Jing Yue sighed, “I haven’t eaten all day.”

Mo Hai whispered, “You’re just hungry.”

Jing Yue raised his hand and patted the back of his head: “I’ll beat you up if you eat an extra bunch.”

“Brother! The best brother in the whole world.” Mo Hai jumped up with a smile, and in order to coax Jing Yu into buying more barbecue for himself, he even bought two bottles of orange soda out of his own pocket.

Summer evenings in coastal cities are filled with the smell of seafood, wine and icy soda.

The orange soda just taken out of the freezer, facing the summer wind, drops of water dripped from the glass bottle.

After Jing Yu finished drinking in two or three gulps, he casually threw the empty bottle into the plastic basket, and it fell right into it.

Mo Hai squatted aside, biting on a straw and applauding him.

Jing Yu laughed: “Drink quickly.”

This year’s summer in Rongcheng is hotter than usual, and the beach is full of tourists wearing floral underpants and bikinis.

Jing Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead, saw Mo Hai sipping sips, bent over and squatted down, his gaze fell forward casually.

The salty sea breeze was mixed with a strong smell of barbecue. Jing Yu was so hungry that he memorized the menu of Lao Du’s house. He was thinking about whether he would give Mo Hai another bottle of ice soda later, when suddenly a message came from not far away. Let’s exclaim-

“Someone jumped into the sea!!”

At this moment, it is the node of the high tide, the waves are splashing on the beach, and there are waves of waves beside the reef bridge.

Non-natives who are very familiar with water are generally afraid to jump down to save others easily.

Everyone called for help, and some called the police for an ambulance. Just as they were at a loss, a nimble figure jumped directly from the edge of the reef bridge.

Like the curve of a swimming fish.

While the sea water was pouring into his ears, Jing Yue felt pain in his right shoulder.

He didn’t care much, and swam towards the figure that was no longer struggling.

While reaching out to grab her, Jing Yue noticed something, and casually picked up the floating objects.

The lifeguards and medical staff on the shore also rushed over at this time, took the drowning girl from Jing Yu’s hands, and said loudly: “Don’t get together!”

Jing Yu put his hands on his knees and took a few breaths. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of something passing by. He looked up at the light source and said coldly, “Don’t take pictures.”

The photographer resentfully put away his phone.

Jing Yu glanced at the things in his hand, then looked at the girl who hadn’t fully awakened, and took off the lifeguard’s hat: “Brother Bin, borrow it.”

He walked over, carefully put the hat halfway on the girl’s head, and handed the things in his hand to the ambulance personnel: “It should be hers.”

“Ok, thank you.”

Jing Yu stood there watching the ambulance drive away, and the lifeguard beside him, Brother Bin, rubbed his arms: “Thank you for today, if it wasn’t for you, something big might happen.”

“Stop playing games during working hours.” Jing Yu pushed his arm away, “Let’s go first.”

“Hey, I invite you to have a barbecue tonight!”

Jing Yu waved his hand, and left the place without looking back.

The sea breeze blowing in from all directions swelled up his thin and wet white T-shirt.

The wind picked up and stopped, and the long hair wrapped around the young man’s fingers fell quietly.

into the night.

The waves are rough and the tide is endless.

Typhoon “Butterfly” is about to make landfall.

The author has something to say:

A sudden opening text!

I wish you all a happy new year! New year, new atmosphere! !

Say something off topic.

Some time ago, I went to the hospital for two days because I was not feeling well. My mother asked me to go home for an examination. One night, I was inexplicably thinking about coding and writing (I would have brought my computer back if I had known, I might not have thought about TvT)

Because the article was published suddenly, and there are still two physical special signatures to be signed this month, the update time may not be fixed. I try to update it every week.

If you can’t wait, you can read it after the end, the number of words should not be long.

This article will be included in the collection of short stories together with “Fire Fighting”.

One more word!

Everyone must stay up late! Pay more attention to cervical spine problems when studying and working!
