During the flight across the Atlantic Ocean, lanli always fell asleep, and fell into a dreamlike state. It was like floating in space. The pull from gravity loomed up and down, which made the most dangerous and exciting roller coaster in the world look like a child's game.
Sometimes struggling, sometimes sleepy; Sometimes revolt, sometimes nothingness; Sometimes it's roasted, sometimes it's biting. Half asleep and half awake, they have been placed in the city of no night above.
Outside the engine room window, the surging sea of clouds spread out endlessly. The towering skyscrapers stand tall and straight in the sky, surrounded by clouds and golden sunshine. The whole world reveals a thrilling bright and dream, just like a fairyland.
With the plane landing little by little, the magnificent and magnificent scene is dim little by little, plunges into the endless drizzle, the world is dyed into a wet gray, straight and spacious streets crisscross, like a sword, revealing the sharp and cold, and dividing the land into square grids.
So Langley can be sure that this is New York, not London.
After returning to New York and before joining the cast, Langley had 48 hours to rest and adjust. This was the time that the Cohen brothers tried their best to squeeze out. They couldn't delay any longer - or they didn't want to delay any longer. If they could, they would like to start working the day Langley arrived in New York.
Back in Gotham City without Batman, the rainy and windy weather in winter is really unfriendly. It keeps everyone's steps at home and in the office, and even the noise in the bar seems to be gradually quieting down——
If it is London, such weather, but can find more lively in the bar, a glass of beer and a football match can make everyone lively; But this is New York.
However, this time, instead of curling up in the warm quilt to recuperate, Lan Li left the house and began to jog around the city streets in the drizzle. He just ran, enjoying the cold to sharp air, feeling the cold to piercing rain drops, and most importantly, experiencing the steady to heavy gravity.
This is really an interesting thing.
Human beings are always eager to be free and fly, always eager to get rid of gravity and soar in the sky, but over time, human beings are still eager to feel the earth. Only when their feet are closely connected with the earth, can the sense of security rooted in the heart gradually become enriched, and the sense of certainty supported by their feet can be regained.
Now lanli finally understood how the name "Mother Earth" was born. It is not only because this land breeds vitality and provides opportunities for survival; It is also because human beings have rooted their blood in this land.
Running, step by step, toes and heels.
The repeated simple movements make the body become heavy and light. Even the biting wind and cold raindrops are full of cold. The steady and hot breathing stings the lungs. The sense of reality returns to the blood bit by bit, as if to feel the vigorous vitality again.
Unconsciously, the architectural outline of Mount Sinai Hospital appeared in the sight. From the apartment to the hospital, nearly 10 kilometers away, all the way running, but did not feel the passage of time, if not for the hot lungs and shortness of breath, came the protest of the body, maybe the brain still can not receive the signal.
The dark red brick wall becomes thicker and more thorough after being washed by the rain. In the gray water mist, a swirling and turbulent color appears, as if a moment recorded by the camera is fixed for a long time.
Around the gate of the hospital, Lan Li skillfully found the staff passage on the other side of the building, pushed the door in, and while greeting those familiar faces, he came to the common rest room shared by volunteers. He found a towel in the wardrobe of the dressing room, quickly dried his wet hair, and hung up his waterproof coat, After a good rest and adjustment for a while, I went to the elevator.
"Wait, wait, the young man." There was a call coming from the counter of the nurse station. He stopped lanli's steps and turned around to see Anita tunisa's chubby face? Who are you looking for? Are you sure you're not on the wrong floor? No one can come here. "
Lanli turned around and looked at Anita's serious face. There was a smile in his eyes, but he didn't explain. Instead, he followed Anita's words and performed the play. "I'm not sure. I came here specially to look for Anita tunisa. I heard that she is a kind, warm and helpful lady, I just need a little help. "
Anita's mouth rose slightly, but she still tried to smile, cleared her throat and raised her chin exaggeratively. "Are you sure you're not talking about snow white?"
"Snow white?" Lanli frowned and looked at Anita up and down. Her critical and questioning eyes made Anita can't bear it any longer. She glared angrily, "why, can't black people be snow white?"
Direct power breaking.
Lan Li raised his hands and said with a smile, "of course. It's just that I didn't expect that your favorite fairy tale character is snow white, not princess pea, little red riding hood, little mermaid, Princess magic, or Cinderella... "After a long line of gossiping, Langley shrugged and said meaningfully," that's all. "
Anita finally couldn't hold back. She chuckled, and then the smile burst out and opened her arms. "Give me a hug, come on. Christmas did not appear, new year's Eve also disappeared, even on the entertainment news page can't see your news, almost think you choose to completely retire
"Retire now, God. What's the misunderstanding between us? How old do you think I am?" Lan Li raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a look of disgust. He said seriously, but his soft eyes still couldn't help smiling.
"Forty five?" Anita embraces lanli passionately, then slaps lanli's back heavily, raises the ending high and gives an answer.
But Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth and shook his head gently. "Forty five is far from the time to retire. I'm going to be 90 years old until no one wants to come to watch my stage. I'm going to leave the stage in a state of sadness and embarrassment and enjoy the boring life after retirement
"God! 90 years old? It's a disaster. " Anita's jokes made lanli laugh again, which made the nurses next to him chirp and laugh, some old faces and some new faces.
It's no surprise that it's not easy to take care of patients, and the difficulty of taking care of the elderly and children has to multiply. Nurses with experience and skills are often very popular professionals, and can be transferred to more profitable and easier private care. Therefore, the hospital staff changes are always very frequent.
Before and after, lanli has not appeared for more than half a year. It seems that this is the first time that Langley returns to mount Sinai Hospital after Heather's death. This is not an intentional result. However, by chance, it still happens.
However, there was no gap between Anita and lanli. The faint surge of intimacy and familiarity always made the corners of her mouth rise involuntarily.
Anita looked at lanli seriously, then looked at the girls next to her, and finally said to lanli seriously, "do you mean it? Before coming here, did you take a shower? A head of wet hair, trying to make yourself more handsome? In fact, there's no need. Even if you just climb out of the coal mine, these little girls will fall for you. "
"Well, thank you for telling me. I'm relieved at last." There was no shyness or complacency. The polite ridicule and self mockery of Mr. Langley always had a special flavor. Then you can see that several nurses standing next to him began to stamp their feet excitedly, just like high school girls.
Anita can only be dumbfounded, patted Lan Li's shoulder, "you leave now, otherwise, I'm not sure, they will directly jump on you the next second." Even make complaints about it, still in Tucao.
Then she changed the topic and said in a low voice, "Anne is in the activity room now. Since the last harvest of a batch of donated books, Anne has been reading in the activity room all day. Joss has been worried. Maybe you can persuade her to go out in the sun."
Anne silyman, the little one, is still in the hospital; And joss is her mother.
"If so, you've got the wrong helper. Don't you know, I'm a famous bookworm? " Blue Li's eyes showed a shining light, "I've been looking forward to having my own house in the future, and then setting up a study. All the bookshelves on the wall are placed with thousands of books."
"So why don't you just buy a library as your own house?" Anita turned speechless and make complaints about it.
Blue Li is to hit a loud finger however, "good idea!" Then he saw Anita's face full of amazement, which made lanli laugh happily. Instead of staying any longer, he turned around and walked towards the activity room.
But before we could step forward, we could see an oncoming figure at the end of the corridor, a simple peach sweater with jeans, and a camel long windbreaker in hand. The two people saw each other face to face in this way, and their eyes crossed for a moment. Then, the other side turned around and pushed the door of the stairwell in a stiff and hurry, In the twinkling of an eye, it disappeared in the sight.
