Chapter 4: Dreams

Chen Linxuan dreamed again, in the dream he was an ordinary graduate, struggling to find a job, and then, he met her.

He and she met on the train, both loved to read, and both loved history. The two were in the same city, left each other's contact information, and then in a slow exchange, the two established a relationship.

However, the sweet love affair did not last long, and the girl had to go to other cities due to job transfers, and the two agreed to meet once a month.

In the first few months, Chen Linxuan often visited the girl. When I wanted to visit later, the girl always said that she didn't have time to work, and she had to work overtime or something like that, until the two established a relationship for seven months and four days.

It was the girl's birthday, and Chen Linxuan came to the city the night before and ordered a cake and flowers. Early in the morning, he knocked on the door of the girl's rental house with fresh cakes and bouquets, but it was a strange man who didn't want to open the door.

Chen Linxuan threw down the cake and flowers, booked the latest train back to the city where he worked, and hurried back.

When he came back, it was already evening, Chen Linxuan opened the mobile phone that had not been turned on all the way, but found that the only one he received was from her: Let's break up. He found a restaurant and had a casual meal to fill his stomach, and then stopped the car and went to the east of the city, which was the most chaotic.

The east of the city is notoriously chaotic, with bars, KTV, bathing cities, and even two casinos that are deeply hidden. Chen Linxuan's salary level only allowed him to buy drunk in such a cheap place.

A man drank until late at night, and it was already pouring rain outside. Chen Linxuan was kicked out by the bartender at the bar, staggering forward in the rain, and kept muttering: "Why don't you wait for me, why don't you want to wait for me..."

At this moment, an umbrella was propped up above his head, and a slender jade hand held his arm. Chen Linxuan turned his head and saw a face like jade, delicate like a figure walking out of the painting, only to hear the woman holding him say: "She doesn't wait for you, I'll wait for you..."

Thundered~

The sudden thunder woke Chen Linxuan up, and he got up and drank a saliva to moisten his dry throat. He couldn't help but sigh to himself, two nights in a row, two nights in a row, dreaming that he was in love with a girl, and he was not his girlfriend.

Chen Linxuan picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, it suddenly rained outside, and it had only been more than five hours since the last call with his girlfriend. Lying on the bed and flipping through his mobile phone for a while, Chen Linxuan fell asleep again. In the dream, there is a face that is upside down, close at hand and in the sky, so beautiful that it is unforgettable, but it is impossible to remember the real appearance.

When the sun rose and dawned, the rooster crow gradually sounded, Chen Linxuan woke up, washed up a little and started the morning exercise. After an hour of punching, showering and washing clothes, it was only seven o'clock.

After trying for a while, Chen Linxuan finally led the coal stove he just bought yesterday, put the pot and prepared to boil a pot of porridge. At this time, Tan Xin got up, and after he finished washing, he saw that Chen Linxuan had already boiled porridge, so he went out to buy some steamed buns and snacks. After the two finished breakfast, Yuan Xiang waited for a while before coming back, it turned out that she had already had breakfast at the old principal's house.

After a while, I heard Zhang Xiangyang's shout: "Xiao Chen, Xiao Tan, Xiao Yuan, let's go, go fishing." The men locked the door, got into the tricycle he had borrowed, and set out for the river.

After the car drove for a while, Zhang Xiangyang stopped the car and told them: "Zhangjiahe has been jumping out of fish and shrimp recently, and I can often pick up fish and go back." Let's go fishing today and see if we can pick up a fish. ”

Fishing rods are the simplest kind of bamboo rods, with a few dollars of fishing line wrapped around them. Zhang Xiangyang helped a few people make a fish nest, taught a few people how to wear earthworms, how to throw a rod, how to watch fish floating, and let a few people fish by themselves in several dens.

After fishing for a while, Chen Linxuan felt a burning sensation from the jade pendant in his chest again. Putting down the fishing rod and taking out the jade pendant, but he couldn't feel anything, Chen Linxuan felt weird, and forgot that he was fishing for a while in his contemplation. It wasn't until Zhang Xiangyang shouted several times that he reacted, a fish was hooked, and the rod was raised, it was a small crucian carp, which was suitable for stewing soup.

Yuan Xiang fished like a curious baby, and after a while, he took a look at the rod, which made several people laugh again and again. "Xiao Yuan, you can't catch a fish like this, you can't be in a hurry, you have to wait for the fish to be hooked before you can start the rod. You carry the pole in a few minutes, and the fish are scared away by you. Zhang Xiangyang taught.

"But I see that you all have fish, why don't I have a fish bite?" Yuan Xiang said aggrievedly.

"Don't worry, patience and so on, there will definitely be a fish on the hook. Tan Xin comforted her, "Why don't you change with me?" You come to me to fish, I should be better at fishing." ”

"No, no, I'll just have fun here, you fish more, and we'll eat fish at noon." Yuan Xiang rejected Tan Xin's kindness.

As everyone knows, under the water, the place where Yuan Xiang's hook sank was just above the blue magic circle. For this circle of fish and shrimp are all respectful, not to mention that the hook is worn by earthworms, even the fairy delicacy worn on the hook, they dare not eat it.

The four of them fished all morning and had a good harvest. Tan Xin told Zhang Xiangyang that they would make lunch, and several people packed up their things and went back to school. Tan Xin and Zhang Xiangyang carried the fish to deal with it, leaving Yuan Xiang and Chen Linxuan to chat outside.

"I'm so angry, I haven't caught any fish all morning. Yuan Xiang complained that she had been fishing there all morning, and she watched the other three people carrying poles one after another, and there were all kinds of fish, but she hadn't even seen the fish float.

"Your position is quite strange, it's quite close to us, why doesn't a fish take the bait?" Chen Linxuan was also surprised. Inexplicably, he suddenly thought of a scene, in the dirt and stones on the riverbed, there was something hidden, and this thing glowed with a pale blue light.

"Chen Linxuan, Chen Linxuan?" Yuan Xiang shouted.

"Well, what's wrong?" Chen Linxuan came back to his senses and hurriedly responded. "What's wrong, what's going on with you today, you're always in a daze? You just fished in a daze, and now you're in a daze chatting with me?" Yuan Xiang was dissatisfied.

"Well, haha, I've not been in a very good state lately, and I guess I'm not comfortable in a new place, so it should be fine in two days. Chen Linxuan snorted to cover up.

The two chatted without a word, most of the time it was Yuan Xiang who was talking, and Chen Linxuan was thinking about things all the time. After a while, Tan Xin came out with a pot of fish and asked Chen Linxuan to ignite the coal stove to boil the fish soup. Chen Linxuan ignited the coal stove, Tan Xin put the lid on the pot, and went back to Zhang Xiangyang to help. Yuan Xiang came over like a playful cat and circled around the coal stove and asked, "Chen Linxuan, how did you light this thing?" ”

Chen Linxuan couldn't cry or laugh: "You didn't have to listen when you taught yesterday, now come and ask me." "There's... Is there one?" Yuan Xiang whispered.

"Next time, I'll teach you the next time you light the coal stove, and I can't teach you if there's a pot on it now. Chen Linxuan shirked the past, walked back to the shade of the tree to take advantage of the coolness, closed his eyes and thought about the strange places in the past two days. Yu Pei will heat up when she arrives at the river, is that vague scene the bottom of the Zhangjia River, the moving woman in the dream, is she fictitious or has she really seen such a person?

After pondering for a while, Chen Linxuan opened his eyes and found Yuan Xiang staring at him directly, so he asked, "What are you staring at me?"

After Yuan Xiang was discovered, he lowered his head a little shyly, and then said: "I just want to know how you are a big man, how can you maintain your skin so well? Teach me, I can pay the tuition!"

Chen Linxuan suddenly felt a big head: "Classmate Yuan Xiang, this is the thirteenth time I have answered you, I haven't taken care of it, and I don't know why my skin is so white." ”

"It's time to eat, Chen Linxuan, Yuan Xiang. Tan Xin brought out a plate of dishes from the kitchen and put it on the small table under the shade of the tree, beckoning the two to prepare for dinner. "It's coming, it's coming. Yuan Xiang hurriedly got up and walked to the kitchen, as if there was no food for her when he was late.

"This fish is quite fresh. Yuan Xiang praised while eating: "Brother Zhang and Tan Xin's cooking skills are also good, they are really delicious." ”

After eating, Chen Linxuan spontaneously cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks to wash, and Yuan Xiang followed to help, and walked out of the kitchen after breaking a bowl.

In the afternoon, a few people were not going to go fishing again, so Zhang Xiangyang got up and said goodbye. The three of them took a nap and continued to prepare for the start of school tomorrow. It wasn't until the evening that Yuan Xiang shouted that he was hungry, and Tan Xin and Chen Linxuan put down their books and went to cook.

It wasn't until the next day that the first semester of the trio's teaching career began.
