It was a summer afternoon. Cicadas kept chirping on the branches, the puppy curled up uneasily under the tree, sticking out its bright red tongue from time to time, and the rooster was drooping at this time. Holding its wings, the old man, with his shirtless hands, kept shaking the cattail fan back and forth. The vigorous tree in front of the door seemed to be lifeless and weakly supporting it at this time.
Cars drove slowly and lazily on the road, and pedestrians' steps seemed to be stuck to their feet because of the road that was about to be baked. Anxiety, restlessness, and clothes that were about to be soaked with sweat made people feel uncomfortable. I felt like a fake mutton kebab being put on the barbecue stove. The vendors did not dare to shout. Even the bronze plaques in front of the shops seemed to be drying in the sun. Only the copper and iron shops made some monotonous tinkling sounds that made people anxious.
