Umbrella Travel to the Heavens

Chapter 1



Chapter 1 Slightly old black umbrella

Hongdu, in ancient times, celebrities once praised this place as a place of luxuriant treasures and outstanding people. In modern times, red seeds germinated in it, and a great team was born from this place.

In modern times, Hongdu is just one of the ordinary second-tier cities with little reputation.

And Li Xiu is one of the thousands of ordinary people in Hongdu.

In his early twenties, his face is fairly beautiful, his eyes are deep, his face is generally not emotional, and his brows are always slightly wrinkled when he does things seriously. This is what Li Xiu often remembers when he knows others.

“Brother Zhang, if there is nothing wrong in the store, I will leave first?”

Li Xiu set up a set of tables and chairs that had been wiped, and while washing his hands, he turned his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and asked when he knew the time.

At the counter in front of the shop, a slightly fattened middle-aged man used a calculator to roughly check the accounts for a day to see if there were any omissions.

After hearing Li Xiu’s request, Zhang Chang turned his head and glanced at the store.

After not seeing anything wrong, he replied casually: “It’s okay, you can go first, don’t miss the bus.”

When Li Xiu passed the counter, he said hello again: “Brother Zhang, I will leave first.”

In the sound of adding and subtracting buttons from the calculator, Zhang Chang looked at the ledger and didn’t look up. He nodded as a response.

After leaving the Zhangjia noodle restaurant, a cool breeze in late autumn blew.

Perceiving the temperature drop a lot, Li Xiu quickly pulled the slightly thin coat zipper to his neck and looked up at the sky by the way.

The night sky at nearly eleven o’clock was originally pitch black as the main color, but today, the thick gray clouds cover the sky tightly. You can only vaguely see where the moon is, and the stars are half missing.

“It looks like a heavy rain is coming.”

Li Xiu said in his heart, and at the same time he quickened his steps.

Under the dim yellow light projected by the bypass light, there was no one at this time, and Li Xiu didn’t care so much, so he trot on.

Fortunately, the Zhangjia noodle shop is only a hundred meters away and there is a bus stop sign, which is not too far.

After Li Xiu trot all the way to arrive, it didn’t take long for him to stand still. Today’s last bus stopped in front of Li Xiu.

Get in the car, swipe your card, and take a seat.

There are only a few people in the bus at this time, and there is no sound of people talking. It is very quiet.

But the silence didn’t last long before it was broken by the sound of rain that gradually became louder.

Raindrops slammed into the glass with the accumulated downward force from a kilometer above the sky, and the voice clearly passed into the ears of Li Xiu who was sitting by the window.

Hearing the sound, Li Xiu turned his head and looked out the window. The raindrops blurred the window of the car, making him unable to see everything outside the window.

After regaining his gaze, he inevitably frowned, remembering that the bus stop near the community was not a short distance away from home.

If it is under the rain, it is estimated that he will be almost wet all over his body when he runs into the corridor, which will be a troublesome matter for tonight or tomorrow.

For the next twenty minutes, it will be a little bit if God’s favor will stop the rain.

It was already late at night, and there were very few vehicles on city roads, and the usual slow buses seemed to be speeding up.

The original 20-minute bus ride took Li Xiu to his destination within ten minutes.

Li Xiu got off at the bus door and stepped across the puddle on the side of the road and stepped into the “safe area” under the bus stop sign.

And at this moment, I don’t know how many raindrops fell on Li Xiu’s head and shoulders, and the upper body coat got wet.

After getting off the car, he could see the rain clearly.

“This horrible weather!”

Li Xiu complained.

It’s not an exaggeration to describe the rain in front of me with downpour.

The heavy rain seems to have circled Li Xiu under the bus stop sign, but Li Xiu can’t stand here and wait for the rain to stop before leaving, not to mention the momentum. It is not impossible that the rain will last overnight.

Li Xiu glanced in the direction of the community. Although the rain was heavy, we could clearly see that the security room of the community was still on.

After a few rounds of thought, Li Xiu took off his coat and put it on his head.

braved the heavy rain and ran towards the community in three steps and two steps.

After dozens of steps, his coat was almost wet. Li Xiu also successfully ran under the eaves of the security room of the community.

is actually a security room, but usually there is only one janitor.

Relying on the uncle’s impression of “familiar, seem to have seen a few times”, plus a few good words, when he left the security room, Li Xiu held the soaked jacket in one hand and opened it in the other hand. Slightly old black umbrella.

Although he has an umbrella, Li Xiu is still walking slowly.

, after all, only wears a thin shirt. Under the rain and cool breeze, every longer stay will add a chance to catch a cold and fever tomorrow.

The residential area where Li Xiu lives is very large but very old.

In terms of “historical traces”, “cultural accumulation”, etc., Li Xiu can guarantee that his community must be one of the best among all the communities in the city.

And as far as the situation in this community is concerned, he still rents, and he rents it as a negative storehouse provided when someone else buys a building.

teased and laughed at himself, Li Xiu couldn’t help showing bitterness on his face.

After passing around a building with a little peeling wall, Li Xiu saw his home, or the entrance of his home.

After all, it’s a bit awkward, and he can’t see his home on the ground.

glanced up. At this time, only a few windows in the entire building were still emitting light. Most people had already fallen asleep at this time.

Those who have not yet slept naturally have their own reasons, and one of the households on the fourth floor, Li Xiu, knows exactly why.

Because that household is just renting the allocated warehouse to his family at a cheaper price.

An ordinary middle-aged couple plus a child who is in the third year of high school.

The boy is about to take the college entrance examination. He will come back very late in the evening for self-study at school. The couple is worried about waiting for their son, so they haven’t slept so late.

The boy Li Xiu had seen him several times when he paid his rent. Although his face looked like an adult, he still had the tenderness he should be at his age. When he saw strangers, his eyes were still a little evasive and cautious.

is an ordinary high school boy who has not yet entered the society.

In fact, Li Xiu is not much older than the boy. If he counts by his age, he should be studying now.

Different, he should be studying at university at this time, sophomore in the academic year…

But that is normal, and life is always full of big and small accidents.

For example, losing money, catching a cold, and having a bad foot, etc. These are small accidents that are harmless and do not have any major impact.

And destiny is joking with you when you have not grasped the scale.

For example, a car accident, or even the death of both parents caused by a car accident…

According to the general statistics of relevant departments in a certain year, there will be an average of more than 4 million traffic accidents in the country every year, of which more than 200,000 people have unfortunately lost their lives.

No matter how big data makes the probability of this thing seem unacceptable.

But when the teacher called Li Xiu out to tell him the news with sympathy and a little sadness in the middle of class, Li Xiu at that time was still unbelievable and unbearable.

Accidents are always sudden, but no matter how sad the follow-up of a car accident is still to be dealt with.

With the help of relatives and elders, Li Xiu, the lawsuit and his parents, was settled fairly well.

There is no such thing as a mess of a rich second-generation drunken man who killed someone and bribed a judge to confuse black and white. Even speaking of the car accident, the main responsible party was his parents.

Crossroads, the brakes failed, the car ran out of control and rammed into a cargo van, followed by a series of car accidents.

His parents were killed on the spot, and the van driver was seriously injured and sent to the hospital for a long time before he survived. In addition, there were several minor injuries.

The huge amount of compensation after the car accident emptied the family of Li Xiu, who had a solid family background.

In January, the parents, house, and car were all gone. Originally, a normal family of three had only Li Xiuran left after that car accident.

During that time, Li Xiu was really difficult and very confused. He felt that his whole person was like walking corpses, dull and cold.

But fortunately, time has the effect of soothing pain. It took Li Xiu several months from the unbearable grief to the fact that there was no obvious sadness on the surface.

But no matter what, people always want to live. After that, the school couldn’t and didn’t want to, so Li Xiu didn’t go again.

Instead, I stepped into the society in advance to earn money so that I could survive. It has been two years since I think about it in a blink of an eye.

It was just a moment of thought in his mind. Li Xiu under the umbrella withdrew his gaze from the bright window at the height, and the trace of sadness in the corner of his eye quickly disappeared. He sighed and walked quickly to the entrance of the building. .

Almost at the same time, thick gray clouds were turning over 10,000 meters above Li Xiu’s head, dazzling electric lights wandering around, and a thick cumulus cloud seemed to be brewing something.

At a certain moment, everything slowed down, and the falling speed of raindrops became extremely slow. The low water crown stepped on by Li Xiu’s front foot had not fallen yet, and the next step was when the soles of his feet were about to touch the ground covered by thin rain.

Above Li Xiu’s head, a bright and dazzling silver flower cut through the dark night sky and burst silently, and the direction of the “flower branch” pointed straight to an incomparably small figure holding an umbrella on the ground.
