Short Story｜Mysterious 2012

The summer wind gently brushed the ends of my hair, and in a green forest road, I felt the rare tranquility in recent days.

In the distance, there was a figure running towards him, waving his hand, "Ah, it's Yunyun." It took a while for her slightly myopic eyes to recognize her younger sister, Yunyun, whom she met at a cram school at the beginning of the year.

I also waved at her cheerfully, and just as she was walking slowly from my ten o'clock direction, a mad man suddenly ran wild with a watermelon knife in front of me, ready to cut me in front of me. I had less than 0.1 seconds left to react, but the sudden situation felt like a nail pinning my legs in place. Yunyun didn't seem to realize that someone was running from behind her left, she trotted forward happily, and when she was about to speak, the knife fell on her arm.

"So coincidentally, do you also see the doctor?"

"No, I'm here to take care of the sick."

"Did you see the news that someone was hacked in our community? It's scary! You have to be careful."

"Okay, auntie, you should also pay attention to safety."

"Yes, yes, yes. Ah, can you do Auntie a favor?"

"Auntie, say it."

"I just wanted to say that I came to visit the doctor to buy a souvenir, but I ended up giving me this small box of chicken essence. You also know that I can't drink this. I want to tell you to take it to the patient's body and help my aunt to solve this problem. ”

"What's so funny..."

"How can you be embarrassed?"

Auntie looked at me, who was holding lunch and fruit in one hand, and the gifts that the cram school students wanted to give Yunyun in the other.

"You have so many things in your hands, it seems that you can't take this box of chicken essence again. I will help you to take it to the ward, so you don't have to be polite to auntie." He gently pushed me forward as I said that.

"I'm sorry, then thank you auntie."

Auntie lives in the alley of our house and is our neighbor's neighbor. She is usually very enthusiastic about public welfare, but she is also very...gossip.

"Hello little sister, take a good rest and get well soon, this box of chicken essence will replenish your body."

Yunyun nodded politely in embarrassment.

"She is the neighbor of our community, and I just met him outside." I walked slowly with a large bag and a small bag, and then I stuck my head out from behind my aunt.

Yunyun smiled reassuringly after hearing what I said.

"The things have been delivered, then I won't disturb you, the old woman, goodbye."

"Auntie, I'll take you off."

When I walked to the elevator with my aunt, she suddenly said solemnly, "Sister, wasn't that younger sister's friendship situation complicated just now?"

"What's wrong?"

"Otherwise, why do you keep getting cut?"

"Always? No, it's only this time that she was attacked inexplicably."
And that knife was supposed to fall on me──I didn't have the courage to say the latter sentence.

"Really? I can't admit I'm wrong. I was shocked when I saw it. Isn't that sister the girl who was cut down in our alley nine years ago? I remember you were there that day, I saw it with my own eyes. , can't be wrong."

I am also here? Why am I not impressed at all? My aunt must have made a mistake.

"Really? I don't remember."

Auntie tapped my head lightly with her fist "I can forget such a big thing! Anyway, be careful, Auntie will go back first."

I returned to the ward with doubts, and Yunyun said that she had no impression. She had never been to our community before, had never met her aunt, and did not know the person who hurt him.

"Sure enough, I made a mistake." She gave Yunyun an embarrassed smile.

months after the event.

On this day, I was going to the publishing house to do some formalities, when the roommates of the shared house gathered in the dining room and listened carefully to the landlord.

"In short, according to the movement of the planets, this year is the most difficult year in recent years. The previous one was in 2012."

2012? Eighty percent of the landlords are talking nonsense again, because everyone doesn't understand astrology nonsense. This is probably the fifth time I've heard him say these incomprehensible things since I moved into this shared apartment. I unwittingly packed up my belongings and prepared to go out.

"You must think I'm bullshitting again," Mr. Landlord raised his right index finger and pointed at me.
"Let's go back to 2012 together and we'll be able to prove that everything I said is true!"

Back to 2012? Do you think you are acting in a time-travel drama?
I nodded my head in disapproval, "Yes, going back to 2012 will prove that what you said is true."

"I can take a photocopy of my ID card."

I looked at the chair next to me, it was empty, and I felt all over my pockets, only to realize that I went out without a bag, and even forgot my phone.

"I'm sorry I forgot to bring it, can you wait for me to get it when I get home? I live near the publishing house, come back soon!"

The editor smiled and said, "No problem."

Stepping out of the publishing house building, the sun was shining so brightly that people were dizzy and stuffy, so they walked towards the alley shaded by the building. There are staggered vendors on both sides of the alley, and the chanting is one after another. There is a fishmonger's fish spilling on the ground. The water from the melting ice cubes forms a small puddle in the depression of the ground, and there are several red fish in the water. Teng struggled, and the other fish had no life. I don't know if it was because the sun was shining on the dead fish on the ground, and a strong stench caused a commotion. Suddenly I saw a person in front of me who seemed to be vomiting, wasn't that Xiao Shi? I waved at him, but he looked puzzled and disgusted as if he didn't know me.
At this time, someone couldn't stand the smell and vomited frequently. I didn't want to hear the sound of vomiting, so I covered my ears and walked as fast as I could.

While running away, I found out why the people around me were not wearing masks. I was a little scared, and then I found out that I was not wearing a mask! Hurry up and search all the pockets on your body to get a precious mask, as if you have some kind of protection, wear it with peace of mind.

When I walked to the entrance of the station gate, I found a lot of debris piled up and could not get in.

"How do you want us to get a ride like this? There are really weird things. 2012 is really a bad year." A man said to his girlfriend.

2012? Is it 2012 now? Am I really back in 2012?

No wonder Xiao Shi didn't seem to know me just now. We didn't know me at all in 2012. It is no wonder that everyone does not wear masks. The masks in their pockets should be a blessing for the habit of carrying masks with them.

Wait, shouldn't the landlord do all of this? I have to go back and find out.

"Wait a minute, it's 2012, the building of the rental office is not finished yet, and I can't find the landlord if I go there. I'd better walk back to my hometown first, and then make plans." Suddenly realized that, he muttered to himself.

On the street just one lane away from home, a gentleman who looked like he was selling love pens pulled me to sell cloth bags, I politely shook my head and declined, but he kept holding me.

"Miss, this is very simple. Just sew along the edge we cut, and you can make a beautiful cloth bag like this!" While explaining, he displayed semi-finished products and finished products.

"Even if you want to sell it online, use it yourself or give it away, it's great. I'll give you this package first."
He stuffed the material bag with four or five semi-finished cloth bags into my hand.

give me? Do you mean to let me experience it without paying for it?
I tapped my head lightly, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

At this time, a young lady who was caught by his accomplices paid for the bill. That scene reminded me of when I was a freshman in the university, I was dragged by an off-campus textbook salesman to the dark place of the campus and forced to sell it, and I couldn't leave freely. The sense of fear at that time surged again, as if traveling through time and space again.

"There is a cloth bag, how does the boss sell it?"
Suddenly a group of people flocked to the cloth bag vendor, and at the same time someone grabbed the material bag in my hand. Looking up, it was Yunyun!

"Why are you here?"

Yunyun didn't answer my question, just lip-sounding that she wanted me to take the opportunity to escape.

I ran desperately in the direction of home, but I was never good at running, and the speed was surprisingly slow. When I came back to my senses, I found that Yunyun was running so fast that she was already ahead of me.

Just near the entrance of the alley, a man stepped back and walked out of the alley, raised his finger and pointed into the alley, his expression and tone seemed to be mocking someone, and then he kept roaring.

My sixth sense tells me that the situation is not good, but I can't catch up with Yunyun. How can I make Yunyun stop without disturbing the quarreling people?

At this time, Yunyun had already turned into an alley, and when she was approaching my door, the man who was sitting on the ground suddenly stood up angrily and swung the knife around. Before I could shout, Yunyun who was opening the door was right in front of me. Knocked down to the ground. The man then looked at me, I instinctively rushed into the door that Yunyun had opened, the man just wanted to open the door, I pressed the door with all my strength and closed it hard.

It turns out that Yunyun was really cut down near her home nine years ago, and she was actually in front of me twice! No, strictly speaking, both times because of me.

The horn of a police car blared outside, and I think it should be the neighbor's aunt who claimed to have witnessed all this, although I didn't see her.
It should be safe to go out now, I have to check Yunyun's condition quickly.

When I opened the door, I was stunned. Yunyun was gone, there was no policeman, no two men arguing, and no auntie next door. When I walked to the street, there were few pedestrians, and the stores posted the QR Code of the real joint system.

No, I'm back in 2021! !
