"What's the matter?" Mallory asked as he walked up to the sunglasses woman and asked her.
"Stand still." The sunglasses woman said back to Mallory, then reached out her hand and tapped her finger on Mallory's head three times before turning around and preparing to leave.
"Aren't you going to talk to me about things? What do you mean by knocking three times on my head?" Mallory was confused.
"You're a smart guy, think for yourself." The sunglasses woman walked back toward the coffee table.
"What's that supposed to mean? You have to give some hints, right?"
"No hints, you're so smart, you'll figure out what's going on. Also, if you figure it out, don't ask me for proof." The sunglasses woman stood and said a few words back to Mallory, and then walked away quickly.
The bus to the airport has also come over, the crowd in the staff's urging, quickly boarded the bus, Mallory want to ask more what has no chance.
"Knock three times, is it three o'clock in the night to date me?"
"It's already 1 or 2 o'clock at night, right?"
"The question is where am I going to find her after I go back to Stonehenge?"
"What the hell?"
"With my intelligence I can think?"
"There's no hint, I can't even figure it out if I'm fucking smart!"
"Are you kidding me?"
The airport security is very strict, in addition to clothes, even a plastic bag is not allowed to take away.
Of course, the things that are not convenient to take away, can be stored in the airport for free, the next time you come to brush your face can get.
It was late at night when we left.
When I returned to Stonehenge, it was not yet light.
Every time this kind of time, it feels especially hard.
As if from a warm world, suddenly fell into the abyss of hell.
Of course, Film City is not a warm world either.
There are always people who want to kill Mallory.
But there is food and drink there, and that alone is much better than the top of Stonehenge.
This time back, and last time is still a little different.
Last time, the top of Stonehenge snowed all day, burying the bed at the top of Stonehenge.
Mallory froze to death and barely escaped by hiding in the snow hole he dug.
This time back, at least the night is still normal, there is no such extreme weather.
The first thing Mallory did when he returned to his broken bed was to check to see if his bottle of mineral water was still there.
It was still there.
Mallory breathed a sigh of relief.
This bottle of mineral water is his life.
If the drought continues at the top of Stonehenge, he can live with this bottle of mineral water, without this bottle of mineral water, he will have a hard time surviving three days.
There is life to do other things, no life, everything is over.
I ate a lot today.
Ate a full twelve Hamburger, plus a whole roast chicken.
If you eat enough, you won't be cold.
And the chicken is not like Hamburger, Hamburger is digested as soon as it enters the stomach.
Grilled chicken has protein and fat, so it can be digested slowly and last a while longer.
Thinking about roast chicken, Mallory remembered the sunglasses woman again.
When she parted, she knocked three times on the top of his head, what exactly did it mean?
By the way, did it represent a word?
What would a three-word sentence be about?
"I love you?"
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha ..."
"She fell in love with me at first sight because I'm handsome?"
"Bought me roast chicken to eat and wanted to go on a date with me."
"I guessed it, I'm such a genius."
"But I'm not going to fall in love with someone here."
"It's purely a chore for yourself."
"So, next time I go back to Film City, I will sternly reject her."
"Although explicitly rejecting a woman's advances will make her pride hurt and even hate me, that can't be helped."
"Why am I so inviting?"
"High IQ, good-looking, integrity, honesty, sunshine, optimism, strength, courage, commitment, maturity, stability, sincerity, brashness, sass, rigidity, calmness, shamelessness ..."
"I have all the advantages of a man concentrated in me."
"That's why I'm so lovable."
Mallory pondered this question while going to sleep.
...
When he woke up the next morning, Mallory lay in bed not thinking much about getting up.
He had a long dream last night, the kind with harmonious content.
Probably too much food yesterday.
"Although I would reject her advances, I could consider going with her without any emotion if she wanted to do something loving with me." Mallory rethought his decision from last night.
"Wouldn't I become a scumbag if I only did that kind of thing without any feelings?"
"Forget it, it's better to explicitly reject her and distance myself from her."
"I'm a decent and sunny man, I don't want to be a scum."
Speaking of sunshine ... morning, after the sun came out, Mallory found that something was not quite right.
As the time slowly approached noon, the temperature at the top of Stonehenge was getting warmer and warmer, slowly turning from hot to scorching hot.
"This is not scientific! How can it be so hot at such a high altitude? And it just snowed a few days ago!"
Mallory's clothes were all soaked with sweat, so he simply took off all his clothes and lay down under the bedpan without moving.
Soon Mallory could not lie under the bedpan anymore.
The stone pillar top stone is getting hot, are some hot flesh.
Lie down again, he will be cooked.
No way, Mallory had to lie on the plank bed again.
The high temperature quickly dried Mallory body moisture, the only bottle of mineral water, he did not dare to move.
Now is not the most difficult time.
This kind of heat, also let Mallory some understand why the jaded old woman did not survive the last time.
If this weather continues, Mallory feels that even if he has a bottle of mineral water, I'm afraid it will not last long.
Now the only thing he can do is not move.
Try to reduce the loss of water in the body.
...
The afternoon became harder and harder.
Although only experienced a day, but now Mallory's body thirst level, has reached the degree of the previous days.
With much higher temperatures, the body loses water more quickly.
Mallory finally did not resist opening the mineral water bottle and took two sips.
He wanted to drink the whole bottle of water, but he did not dare.
Hopefully, the weather will cool down tomorrow, otherwise, he will not last long.
Finally, the sun went down.
It was still muggy, unseasonably, surprisingly muggy, and the sun did not let the temperature drop much.
Mallory hadn't peed a few drops all day, and he felt like he was about to be turned into a dry corpse.
Before going to sleep, he couldn't resist taking a few more sips of water.
The 600ml bottle of mineral water soon had less than 200ml left.
It must rain tomorrow! Otherwise he will die.
Mallory still had many dreams this night.
But none of them have the kind of harmonious content dreams.
All the dreams have only one theme.
That is, looking around for water to drink.
Dreamed that he found a faucet, turned on the faucet, mouth to the faucet gulp of water.
But no matter how much I drank, I couldn't quench my thirst.
Until finally I woke up very tired.
It was already dawn.
After only one day, Mallory found that his body had become extremely weak.
He tried to sit up and was already spinning.
This was not a good sign.
This is a precursor to a complete breakdown of bodily functions.
Don't get as hot today as you did yesterday.
Mallory did not want to die here.
He has to get back to Film City alive, and then clearly reject the sunglasses woman's advances.
You have to have a beginning and an end.
