Chapter 9: The Past (5)

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the clouds were light and thunderous.

"That's all you can do? The man couldn't stand it, so he hid in the house and didn't make a sound!"

Liu Fang's voice and the sound of rain rang out one after another.

Seeing Yuexiang, he was also a little anxious, he could see the moon just now, but this heavy rain was said to fall, Jiang Wen didn't bring an umbrella when he went out, he was a weak man, he couldn't stand the rain, this rain was falling, how could he come back......

Seeing that Yuexiang's heart was in a mess, the most was worried, worried that Jiang Wen would be drenched in the rain, and she was afraid that she would be seriously ill.

Without waiting for Liu Fang to scold again, she saw Yuexiang pick up an umbrella and go out from the back room.

The courtyard was flat and there was a river, and when I saw Yuexiang gritting her teeth and just wading into the water, her feet were cold, and she shivered, so she heard Liu Fang shouting behind her: "I can't find my son back, don't come back!"

The crackling sound of the rain covered Liu Fang's shouting, and seeing Yuexiang pretending not to hear anything, she lowered her head and got into the dense rain curtain.

Jiang Wen's family lives on the outskirts of the city, and the Dahua Movie Theater is near Jimo Lane in Qingchuan City, and it takes an hour to walk there.

Seeing Yuexiang has never been in the city since she came to Qingchuan.

It was already dark at this moment, and it was raining heavily, and there was not even a single figure to be seen along the way, and the darkness was almost walking along the base of the wall.

The rain of the tide can see that Yuexiang is cold, even if she is holding an umbrella, she is drenched from the waist down.

Finally walked to the place where the light was seen, the road surface was spacious, and occasionally there were voices, at this time the rain was much lighter, and the moon fragrance raised the umbrella slightly, and you could see the shops next to each other on the side of the road.

Most of the shops have long since closed, but at the end of the road, a shop selling calligraphy and painting and making frames is still lit, and a plaque is hung on the top of the four wide wooden doors, which reads "Four Seasons Zhai".

Seeing Yuexiang, she only felt that the yellow and clear light emanating from the small shop split the cold air, and a wisp of warm breath flowed out, making her warm from head to toe.

Her family is also engaged in the pond business, see Yuexiang grew up in the place where the calligraphy and paintings exude the fragrance of ink since she was a child, in this small town of Qingchuan, which is surrounded by mountains and perennial mist, she suddenly has a familiar sense of belonging, just like in the endless sea, she saw a small island with fragrant grass, she was about to drown, and wanted to land on the island, but the umbrella in her hand, the person she was looking for in front of her, made her unable to stay.

Passing through Jimo Lane, and then turning an intersection, you can see the Dahua Movie Theater in the drizzle.

There were a few rickshaws parked in front of the theater, and the movie had just ended, and many young men and women came out together, flocking to the rickshaw when they saw the rain.

Seeing Yuexiang, he saw Jiang Wen walking in the front at a glance, only to see him stretch out his hand to greet a rickshaw, turn over and sit on it, pull up his cloak to cover it, and the drizzle only stained his shoulders with a thin layer of fine beads.

Seeing Yuexiang, she hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the rickshaw driver who was about to leave.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Wen was taken aback, and saw that she was almost drenched again, and even more strange, "How did you get this look?"

"It was raining heavily. Seeing Yuexiang's face flushed, she raised the umbrella in her hand, "I came to give you an umbrella." ”

"It's really stupid!" Jiang Wen hurriedly got out of the car, helped Jianyuexiang, and blamed him, "I'm a big man, what's the matter if it's raining, but what if I get you drenched?"

Seeing Yuexiang open the umbrella, she supported Jiang Wen: "I'm fine, it's good to receive you." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the rickshaw driver and said, "Let's go back, don't take the car." ”

There happened to be a young couple behind him who came to grab the car, and his tone was particularly urgent: "Are you leaving?

"Let's go!" Jiang Wen turned back to the two and said, "I already want this car, you can find something else!"

"Don't sit down. Seeing Yuexiang tugging at the corner of Jiang Wen's clothes, she lowered her voice as much as possible, "There is really no money at home, we ...... Save a little if you can. ”

"Can you go or not?" the coachman was also anxious.

Jiang Wen's face suddenly became ugly, he shook off Jianyuexiang's hand, and shouted at the coachman in a calm voice: "I said I had to leave, what did you bother?"

After speaking, he directly pulled up Jianyuexiang and pulled her into the rickshaw.

"Go south!"

The water on the two umbrellas flowed down the handle of the umbrella, Jiang Wenwen was angry, his trouser legs were beaten by the cold rain, and he suddenly thought of seeing Yuexiang's almost damp clothes.

Thinking of this late midnight, it was still raining, Yuexiang specially came to pick him up, Jiang Wen took care of the umbrella while dissipating his breath, and after a while, he said to Jianyuexiang, who was silent all the way beside him: "Your movie ticket, I sold it before the screening started, let's take a taxi back, there is still a lot left." ”

Seeing that Yuexiang still didn't move, Jiang Wen reached out to hold her hand on her knees.

Only then did he realize that Yuexiang's little hand was cold, so he quickly raised it in front of him, and said while rubbing and covering her: "I'll use the rest of the money to buy tiles tomorrow, okay? Don't be angry, it's just raining heavily, the ground is rotten and wet, won't you suffer another crime if you don't take the car? You're really stupid, what does it matter if I get drenched, it's really distressing to make you cold and wet right now." ”

Seeing Yuexiang, she pursed her lips lightly and leaned her head on Jiang Wen's shoulder.

The body of the man next to him was hot, and the bleak wind and rain outside the rickshaw were stopped. The grievances in my heart disappeared, and tears flowed down.

Jiang Wen turned his head sideways, and his voice trembled in distress: "Why are you crying?"

"No, it's rain. "See the moon's fragrant glutinous way.

Jiang Wen sighed, his chin rested on Jianyuexiang's forehead, and he opened his hand to hold her whole in his arms.

"Don't worry, life won't always go on like this, I'll make a lot of money, and then you'll be the wife who wears a nice little dress and drinks coffee in the garden on the balcony every afternoon. ”

Seeing Yuexiang snorting and laughing, she sniffed, and said slowly: "I've lived enough days like this before, and it's very interesting to live a different life now." ”

Jiang Wen's expression darkened for a moment, and he raised his face and was just about to say something more, when he heard the rickshaw driver in front of him turn his head and ask, "Where is the south? ”

Jiang Wen replied: "It's to go out of the city, No. 5 Shiqiao Lane behind Sanye Bridge." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a squeak, and the coachman stopped suddenly, stood still, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the water on his forehead: "That's not good, going out of the city is another price." ”

"It's not a long way, turn around and it's the Sanye Bridge, and you can see Shiqiao Lane after crossing the bridge. Jiang Wen explained.

The coachman still didn't leave: "After crossing the bridge, I will go out of the city, and going out of the city is another price, either increase the price or get off." ”

"How much?" Jiang Wen asked.

The coachman raised his hand and made a ten.

Seeing that Yuexiang had taken a lot of chartered cars in the past, this was the first time she had encountered bargaining in the car, and when she saw the coachman asking for a price, she wanted to get out of the car, but seeing that Jiang Wen didn't move, she had to sit for the time being.

Jiang Wen's face was calm, seeing that Yuexiang's shoes and socks were wet, he didn't want her to go to the water again, but the movie tickets sold were not enough for the extra money.

"Do you have any money, get out of the car if you don't have money!" The driver waited impatiently, he relied on time to earn money.

"What kind of attitude do you have!" Jiang Wen was furious and almost stood up directly in the car, "I took your car, and now I am your guest, do you treat guests like this?"

"If you give money, you're my guest!" the coachman also lost his temper, "I don't have money, what kind of car do I take, how good is it to walk back by myself?"

"Forget it, don't make any noise, let's get out of the car!" saw Yuexiang whispering in Jiang Wen's ear.

Jiang Wenjiao was in the same place, and for a while he was just so angry that his temples were beating straight, but he didn't have an idea.

If you don't get out of the car, he has no money and continues to sit down, and he obediently gets out of the car and feels tired of being ridiculed by the coachman.

Seeing that Yuexiang saw that Jiang Wen did not move, his face was ugly, knowing that he had eaten the coachman's deflatedness, he was not convinced, biting his lip, and seeing Yuexiang pull out a fallen jade pendant from the collar of his underwear.

With a hard click, he tore off the red rope tied to the jade pendant.

This jade pendant is a lotus jade Buddha carved from mutton fat white jade after she was sick when she was sick when she was a child and her mother went to the temple to open the light.

"Go on, this jade pendant will make you the fare. ”

Seeing Yuexiang hand it over, the coachman squinted at it and pouted: "Who knows if this jade is real or fake." ”

"Whether it's true or fake, it's not yours!" Jiang Wen snatched the jade back, returned it to Jianyuexiang, jumped out of the car, threw the money from the sale of movie tickets to the coachman, and then turned around and hugged Jianyuexiang, "Come, let's go back!"

"It's like yours, you don't have the ability, let your woman suffer too, it's really unlucky who marries you!" the coachman spat and pulled the car around and left.

"You!" Jiang Wen didn't take a breath, and kicked the wall violently in anger.

Holding Mitsukika, he walked silently to Mino Bridge without saying a word.

The rain was still light, not too big or too small, seeing that Yuexiang hurriedly opened the umbrella, held it above the heads of the two of them, and walked straight to the middle of the bridge, before whispering: "Let me down, how difficult it is to hug it......"

"What's so hard to hold. Jiang Wen lifted Yuexiang's body up, "It's just that in the future, don't make me unable to get off the stage outside!"

"I ......" Seeing Yuexiang stunned, she raised her face and looked at the tightly sinking corners of Jiang Wen's mouth on Jiang Wen's cold and hard chin.

"No matter what jade pendants, pearls, gold, and silver you have, don't take them out again, are you still afraid that others won't gossip enough?" Jiang Wen's chest rose and fell, "Make a frugal appearance at home, buy a movie ticket, you have to talk about things, there is no salt for a while, there are no tiles for a while, how much salt is enough for you to buy this jade pendant? How many tiles? Just take it out and hand it to the coachman?"

"This jade pendant is not worth anything, it is not made of good materials, it is just ...... It was given by my mother, some meaning, I was very precious, I just saw that you suffered the loss of the coachman, I was afraid that you would not be happy, so I couldn't bear to take out the jade pendant, and wanted to tell the coachman not to underestimate you. ”

"Don't underestimate me? If you do this, he will have to underestimate me even more! If you have to exchange the money for the bus with a jade pendant for your daughter-in-law, doesn't that mean that I am a man who is not capable?"

Seeing Yuexiang really didn't think of it so much, she always felt that she and Jiang Wen were one, and what she had, wasn't that what Jiang Wen had?

I didn't expect that there are still men and women, and men's face still needs women to do it.

"I didn't think it through. Seeing Yuexiang apologized, "I won't do it again next time." ”

Jiang Wen sighed, got off the Sanye Bridge, and went into the stone bridge alley.

The alley was dark and steep, and there was no light around it, only the sound of two people breathing, one big and one small, one thick and one thin.

Jiang Wen held his hand around Jianyuexiang's waist, and at this moment, his heart was bulging, he pinched it hard, and then said in the dark: "It's a punishment for you." ”

……

When he got home, Jiang Wen asked Liu Fang to boil hot water, washed Jianyuexiang, and covered a quilt, and the next morning, when Jianyuexiang got up, he still felt dizzy and his limbs were weak.

I touched my forehead, and it burned badly.

It's just that it's too late to get water, and last night she took a shower again, and there wasn't much water left in the tank.

Gritted his teeth, he turned over and got up, picked up the flat pole and went out.

It had rained all night, and the stone road in the alley was very slippery, so Wang Dahua waited at the mouth of the alley early, waiting to fetch water with Jianyuexiang.

As soon as she saw Yuexiang's face, Wang Dahua frowned and shouted: "Ouch, Yuexiang, why is your face so red?"

wiped his hands on his body, and then leaned over to touch it, Wang Dahua exclaimed: "God, you have a fever, your brain is so hot that you can boil eggs!"

"Don't pick this water today, I'll call your man to help you!" Wang Dahua turned around and walked into the alley.

"No! I can do it!" Seeing Yuexiang pull Wang Dahua, "I'...... My man goes out to find money during the day and works hard, don't bother him with these family things. ”

"What about your wife?" Wang Dahua shouted, "Liu Fang, she can carry water!"

Liu Fang was going out to pour the night pot, and when she heard Wang Dahua's words, she was so angry that her nose was not a nose, her eyes were not an eye, and she pulled her sleeves and greeted her: "Okay, see Yuexiang, I finally grabbed it, what bad words are you saying here behind my back?!"
