Chapter 124: "The Whale at 52 Hertz"
"Hey......" Luo Fangyi shook his hand vigorously towards the north, the corners of his mouth raised, and the smile was as clear as water.
Xiang Bei remembered the woman who sat on top of him in his dream last night, who was also sweet-looking, except for the tattoo at the base of her thigh.
It's really dirty, how can you associate the two of them together! Xiang Bei slapped himself.
"Why are you here so late?" asked her in a low voice, poking his head out of the second-floor window.
Luo Fangyi raised his arm and pointed to the black iwatch fashion watch on his wrist: "It's only 9 o'clock, is it late? Master shouldn't be already in the living state of an old man, hehe." ”
Xiangbei couldn't cry or laugh: "Wait for me, five minutes!"
His reason was that Luo Fangyi would wait downstairs obediently, and the girl who was asleep was not honest, so he went straight in.
Although Luo Fangyi has been to this community several times, Xiangbei has never let him into the building. First, this community is indeed too dilapidated, and the people living in it are even more discrete, and second, maybe he cares too much about Luo Fangyi's opinion of himself, and he doesn't want her to see his down-and-out appearance.
"Master, frankly speaking, I know that the conditions of the place where you live are poor, but it is still beyond my imagination. Luo Fangyi entered the room to the north and sat on the sofa.
Xiangbei wanted to stop Luo Fangyi, but he couldn't speak, he thought of the dream he had last night, and the two of them just sat on the sofa and kept nodding and nodding......
"Six hundred dollars a month, what a good place to live. Xiang Bei smiled bitterly.
Therefore, Luo Fangyi's incurrence did make this birthday star a little panicked. Fortunately, Xiangbei is not a sloppy person, the socks he wore and the tissues he used have all been cleaned up a long time ago, and although the room is simple, it is also neat.
"Don't you feel scared? Who are the people around here?" Luo Fangyi remembered the way a young man looked at him when he first entered the room, that kind of hungry gaze, and felt like he was going to eat himself at any moment.
"They're the real people, and there's no need to hide anything. ”
"What about the messy furnishings in the living room? The smelly socks, the dirty clothes, and the leftovers, all sour and sour, and attracting flies. Hey, it's disgusting to think about. Master, move away. Luo Fangyi looked disgusted. She has never been to this kind of place since she was a child, and she feels that it is like another world, which is simply refreshing.
"That's the atmosphere of the market. Xiangbei didn't want to explain more, he felt that he and Luo Fangyi were already people from two worlds, even if Luo Fangyi never admitted it.
Luo Fangyi didn't care about Xiangbei's answer, she just complained about the habit of witnessing all this.
Luo Fangyi glanced around the room, there was not much furniture in the room, a bed, a table, and a sofa. There are some books on the table, as well as a group photo of a family of three to the north.
She remembered what had happened to her north. Forget it, today is Master's birthday, don't talk about these bad things.
"Is this the medicine you usually take?" Luo Fangyi saw that there was an iron box at the head of the bed, without a lid, and there were large and small pills in it.
"yes, if you don't say I've forgotten, I'll have to go to that old Chinese medicine doctor next week to prescribe medicine. This medicine is taken too quickly. Xiang Bei said.
"Let's go find a regular hospital to see, that kind of Tulangzhong is too unreliable," Luo Fangyi got up, "Let's go, Master, celebrate your birthday." ”
"It's all old, what's there to celebrate, forget it. Xiangbei shook his head, "Besides, I've already celebrated, you see." ”
Luo Fangyi looked in the direction of his finger to the north, and there were three pairs of dishes and chopsticks and a bottle of white wine on the small square table. There are also leftover shredded egg skins.
I only ate one bowl of the three bowls of noodles, and the other two bowls remained motionless. You don't have to guess to know that this is a dinner party for a "family of three". Looking at this scene, Luo Fangyi felt inexplicably sad in his heart. This man who ran for four is alive here, and no one will even remember his life and death.
Xiangbei also realized the meaning of the three pairs of chopsticks, his eyes became embarrassed, and he explained hesitantly: "Oh, I'm afraid I won't be full, so I bought two more servings of ramen, or you can eat it here, and it will be my birthday." ”
Luo Fangyi would never agree to the proposal to the north. It's not a meal for herself, she won't eat. Since he was already uninvited, what else was there to be reserved, Luo Fangyi picked it up and walked north downstairs.
Xiang Bei was a little at a loss, he said while sorting out his clothes: "Come out so late, do your family know?"
"I'm so old, don't I have this bit of freedom?" said the two of them in the car.
To the north felt that the car was very
Familiar, such a nostalgic style, nostalgic decoration, made him immediately think of the owner of the car - Luo Yuchen.
"Well, for you. Luo Fangyi handed a small gift box to Xiangbei.
"What is this?"
"A birthday present for you. ”
"How do you know it's my birthday?"
"Master, you're not a big person, I want to know if your birthday isn't easy?"
"Okay. Xiang Bei said and opened the gift box.
"Hey, hey, do you treat other people's gifts like this?" Luo Fangyi hurriedly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Bei was a little puzzled.
"Breaking the gift in front of me?"
It is true that men and women are not the same animal. The two are not on the same channel at all.
"Uh...... Okay, I'll go back and see. Xiangbei smiled and said, "Thank you for the gift, I thought no one would remember it." ”
"So polite, let's go, please go to dinner? ”
"You were invited last time?"
"You forgot? ”
fainted, and the two were still not on the same channel.
"Haha, well, I forgot if you don't say it. It might disappoint you though, I've already eaten it. ”
"Cut!" Luo Fangyi gave him a blank look.
This is not like the attitude that an apprentice should have towards his master, it is too big and small.
Needless to say, Xiangbei realized that his answer was wrong again, and he couldn't talk to the point, and the atmosphere was embarrassing to the extreme. Since it's wrong to say anything, just shut up.
"It's okay, I've also socialized and eaten. Luo Fangyi controlled his hungry stomach and didn't let it make any noise. After the interview in the afternoon, she rushed here non-stop, not to mention eating, and she didn't even bother to drink saliva. Now I'm completely hungry and sleepy.
"Master, I'll give you a choice, eat, drink, and have fun, you can choose any of these four things. Luo Fangyi proposed.
"Oh, it seems that I met the 'gold master' today? I've eaten and drunk, and as for having fun, I'm not good at it, so let's just take a walk." ”
It has already been established that this conversation is definitely the scene of a tragedy. Luo Fangyi really can't figure out how the star reporter with high EQ and IQ back then has become an elm pimple now?
"Oops, that's boring. Luo Fangyi was a little disappointed, but it seemed that something had flashed out of his mind, "Since you said to go casually, then listen to me, and I will go wherever I say." ”
"Okay, listen to you. ”
"Get in the car. Luo Fangyi opened the co-pilot.
"This is your brother's car. Xiang Bei asked, repeatedly chatting to death, he didn't know what to say, maybe the threshold for this question was relatively low.
"yes, how do you know?"
"Because I just sat down yesterday, haha. Xiang Bei laughed.
The atmosphere in the car instantly cooled down, and even the air conditioning was saved.
The two drove aimlessly in the car.
There's no way, I can't talk anymore this day, listen to the song.
"I'm a blue whale on an isolated island, with the biggest figure, fish and shrimp walking by my side, and birds ...... on my back" The CD plays music, and the melody is very beautiful.
"CD changed?" asked Xiangbei.
"Yes, my brother's songs are too old, I don't like them, so I copied them myself. You're hearing his CDs during the day, right? Wronged your eardrums, haha. ”
"Fortunately, your brother's repertoire is quite positive. Xiang Bei teased.
"The Whale Who Became a Lonely Island", an adapted song. I love the lyrics in it. Luo Fangyi said.
Xiang Bei listened carefully, there were no highlights in the song, the lyrics were indeed quite interesting, listening to this song, he had a picture in his mind: a whale walking alone on the vast sea, occasionally seabirds flew by, cruise ships sailed by, but they were all passers-by after all. After the prosperity, the whale still swims alone in the sea.
"There's a very touching story behind this song. It is said that the lyrics are written about a whale that is known as the lone whale in the world, and it is called Alice. Luo Fangyi told the story of this song, and it seems that she really likes this song.
"The loneliest whale? ”
"Scientists began tracking it in 1992, and for many years after that, it was discovered that it did not have a companion. Scientists after research found the reason, it turned out that Alice's frequency
The rate is 52 Hz, while the normal whale frequency is 15~25 Hz, and the frequency is different, so that it misses with all its companions and always swims alone. ”
Xiangbei always thought that whales were social animals, but he didn't expect that there was a scientific explanation - frequency. Of course, any story that can be combined with science naturally increases its credibility.
Luo Fangyi went on to tell the story: "For more than 20 years, Alice swam from the warm currents of central California to the piercing currents of the North Pacific, migrating and searching, singing alone, and never meeting her companions......
"Very sad story. I remember a writer who said that loneliness is the essence of human beings, and it seems that animals are the same. We are all 52 Hz whales. ”
"But...... Many sad stories will have an inspirational ending. The same goes for this story. In 2010, scientists finally caught a whale song that matched its pattern. Moreover, it is in two places at the same time. This means that maybe Alice has finally found a companion of the same frequency. Maybe it's always been a member of a special group of whales and just likes to be alone from time to time, or maybe it's taught its own singing to other whales so that it's not lonely. ”
Luo Fangyi seems to have been immersed in this story. Women are made of water. At this point, this couldn't be more accurate.
"Listening to you say this, I feel much more comfortable in my heart, people's hearts are always soft, and I hope to hear the perfect ending. Xiang Bei said.
"Yes, so, everything has to be looked at, and it will pass. Luo Fangyi said, pulling over to the side of the road.
"Where is this?"
"I don't know, let's go, go to the overpass! Let's take a look at the city from a different perspective. Luo Fangyi climbed up the overpass in two steps, leaning on the railing with his chin in his hands.
"So, are you taking me out for a ride today?" joked to the north.
Luo Fangyi's face couldn't hide the seriousness. It seems that she is still immersed in that sad story.
Stand to the side to the north and light a cigarette.
Luo Fangyi looked at him sideways, and then turned his head again: "Master, I remember telling you to smoke less. ”
The breeze blew her long hair, fluttering in the wind.
That's right, this was said by Luo Fangyi when he was investigating the Luohe Village incident. Xiangbei never forget, he quickly extinguished the cigarette.
"Looking at the past from here, Hedong doesn't feel so declining, you see the lights are bright, and those high-rise buildings, and there!" Luo Fangyi pointed to the distance, a high-rise building appeared even taller under the embellishment of landscape lights, and the two vaguely saw a few words flashing on the building: Jingnuo, happy birthday!
"It's such a coincidence, Jingnuo also has a birthday. Xiangbei smiled, he didn't know this Jingnuo, but he could use the "root of Hedong" to confess, men and women should be different.
"That's Fat Winter's company!" Luo Fangyi said.
"Really?" Xiang Bei was a little surprised, it seemed that this little fat man had taken off.
"Do you see a bright place over there?" Luo Fangyi asked, pointing to a somewhat low building in front of her, who seemed to be very interested in the topography of Hedong City today.
"There's ...... Train station?"
"Well, the path in front of the station keeps going forward, and that's where I went to elementary school!" Luo Fangyi said excitedly, and took out his mobile phone again, "Look, this is a photo of me when I was a child, I don't look like a boy, haha!"
"You were so much cuter when you were a kid than you are now. ”
"But...... From childhood to adulthood, elementary school, middle school, university and even work were all grown up under the protection of my parents, hey, I really want to be free, I want to be able to eat and sleep without looking at the clock on the wall, I want to be able to go shopping and sing all night with my friends. The older I get, the less cute it becomes, maybe there is more luggage in my backpack, and it's getting heavier and heavier. ”
"I'm kidding you. Xiang Bei saw that Luo Fangyi's mood suddenly became serious, and hurriedly explained.
"On graduation day, my boyfriend said goodbye to me as usual, and I later learned that he said goodbye to love. ”
"Why is the topic so heavy all of a sudden?" Xiangbei looked at her, and suddenly felt that this was not the girl she was a few years ago, she would suppress it when she wanted to cry, and her inner emotions became sensitive and rich. "It seems that someone said that a person should go through love three times before she can become mature. So don't be sad, look ahead, there is a better love waiting for you. Discussing feelings has always been Xiang Bei's weakness, and he doesn't know if it's appropriate for him to say so.
"It's socks. ”
"What?"
"The gift to you is socks. ”
