Chapter 19: Loneliness and Solitude
Such a shocking female grimace, after being washed with tears, became more and more miserable, red, black, and green colors mixed together, just like the whimsical graffiti that Li Shaohui drew with various watercolor pens when he was a child. It's a pity that Li Shaohui is not a genius, and no one can appreciate his works, just like he can't appreciate this "beautiful face of art" now.
Li Shaohui secretly sighed unlucky, everyone else is a hero to save the beauty, and then the beauty promised each other to create a beautiful marriage that envied the world, and he was good, and finally carried forward the noble spirit of saving people from fire and water, and the result was to save a nondescript "female ghost".
Li Shaohui really didn't want to look at the yellow-haired woman's face anymore, so he endured the severe pain in his arm and said: "Beauty, I saved you, can you take revenge?"
After hearing this, the yellow-haired woman slowly reacted, let go of her hands, and freed Li Shaohui's arms, and Li Shaohui also took the opportunity to take away her arms and stand up.
But the yellow-haired woman was overly panicked and weak, and it didn't take long for her to fall to the ground again. Li Shaohui had to bend his body to help her up, but when he helped, his eyes fell on the yellow-haired woman's flesh-colored vest intentionally or unintentionally, because he was looking down from above, so he saw the deep ravine, endless, evocative, and the white skin next to the ditch, pure white like cheese, and the two looming white rabbits in the chest trembled, like a budding lotus.
Fortunately, Li Shaohui at this time had just finished breakfast, and fortunately this yellow-haired woman was not the type he liked, and even more fortunately, it was in broad daylight now, so Li Shaohui didn't dare to make a difference.
Otherwise, if this is a dark night with no fingers in sight, Li Shaohui will not be able to see her "true face of Lushan" (it seems that he can't see her true face now), and it is really possible to be bold and take the opportunity to taste this delicious 'cheese'. ”
At this time, Li Shaohui can still be so shamelessly obscene, he is a little embarrassed, despises himself, it seems that he is a complete pervert.
The sound of "boom" came again, and 12 minutes had passed, and the next train had arrived on time. Li Shaohui looked at the time, it had been delayed for so long, and he had to catch this bus, otherwise he would be late for the interview, but he was a big taboo. So when Li Shaohui was leaving, he shouted to the yellow-haired beauty: "Hey, beauty, are you okay? I'll leave if it's okay." ”
"Hmm..."The yellow-haired woman was expressionless, only a simple word, and after she finished speaking, she lowered her head again.
Li Shaohui was very dissatisfied with the yellow-haired woman's behavior, and secretly scolded in his heart: "Damn, your uncle, my brother is also your savior, although I don't expect you to make a personal promise, but I can't be indifferent!"
After getting on the train, Li Shaohui looked at the yellow-haired woman through the window again, and then the woman also raised her head to look at him, her eyes were hazy with tears, and there was a pulse of affection, Li Shaohui's heart was full of joy, it seems that this is still a woman who understands how to repay her kindness! The train is moving faster and faster, and inadvertently, the yellow-haired woman who is still looking at Li Shaohui on the platform will disappear.
Li Shaohui sighed inexplicably, turned over and found a seat, closed his eyes and recuperated, although he was a little "hungry and unfazed" in front of the yellow-haired woman just now, but think about it carefully, if today's events are not self-conscious, if he reacts more slowly, if the bear child is a little faster, will it be the withering of a flower-like life? Will it be another family fragmentation?
Li Shaohui thought back to what happened just now, and a question arose in his heart, people nowadays have the earnest teachings of their parents and relatives, have a better and more sound education, and have all kinds of advocacy and protection from the society, but why are many people's hearts getting darker and darker?
For example, beggars begging under the guise of poverty, criminals abducting and selling children and women, criminals such as pyramid schemes...
Some people say that it is no wonder that they are in today's age of rampant materialism and the supremacy of money, all correct values have to give way, and everything is for the service of material money, but the reason is this, is there no solution?
Li Shaohui was puzzled, he could only sigh helplessly, he listened to the deafening sound of steam, felt the turbidity of the air in the car, and his mental state began to become numb and excited, just like the passengers on the subway now, a considerable number of them are drowsy, and some people's eyes are numb and empty.
If this kind of numb eyes is shown in one or two people, it is normal, but if it is a large range (or young people), it means that there is a big problem with these people, because to paraphrase Grandpa Mao's words, young people at this time are like the sun at eight or nine o'clock, and they are at their most vibrant.
Of course, there are still some people in the current subway who are addicted to the illusory world in their mobile phones and have become out-and-out "bowing people".
The low-headed family has become a major trend in society, and there is no need to say much about the benefits, Li Shaohui's deepest impression is that on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, family and relatives sat together, everyone lowered their heads and held a mobile phone gun red envelope, quietly silent, as for the communication is also on WeChat, as if doing that can save mouth.
When Li Shaohui got off the subway and rushed to XX company out of breath, because he was delayed for nearly an hour, the interviewer of XX company was very unhappy, Li Shaohui smiled bitterly in his heart, blaming the "female ghost" for returning home on the first day of the interview.
In the next few days, Li Shaohui received a lot of interview calls, so he once again started his 9-to-5 working life like an urban white-collar worker, although this "nine" is a little later, such as 11 o'clock in the morning, and "five" is also a little earlier, about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, but this does not affect Li Shaohui's deep understanding of "9 to 5" at all.
In this way, Li Shaohui interviewed for more than ten days, but the results were unsatisfactory, although Li Shaohui knew that the interview for job search was a matter of fate, maybe there was nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it, but in the face of various vague statements from each company, Li Shaohui was still secretly anxious, he had reduced his salary to half of the previous one, and other welfare requirements were also reduced to the point of being dispensable, but even so, the interview results were not so clear, and it was difficult for him to really want to be the same as the intern, as a trainee employee, get a salary of 2,000, and let the company go at will"Ravage"?
When Li Shaohui got on the bus again for an interview, he looked at the scenery outside the window and the pedestrians in a hurry, only to deeply appreciate the helplessness and bitterness of life, and he also had a deeper understanding of the insensitivity of young people like him, when a person faces the pressure of life for a long time, does not feel the joy of success for a long time, and lets his "green" heart be exposed to the sun for a long time, anyone will become indifferent to the world.
To say that his only gain these days is that he has a deeper understanding of Nanjing, Nanjing has the Qinhuai River of "Qinhuai Lantern Colorful World", Qinhuai River on the one hand is the lively scene of painting boats and boats, oars and lights, and on the other side, there is a beautiful love between infatuated men and women such as "Qinhuai Bayan".
Li Shaohui remembered that the ancients had a sentence of obscene poetry that he himself had forgotten, to the effect that a man who had never been to Qinhuai River in the world would never be able to experience the real drunken dream, and would never be able to experience the real beauty of his daughter.
Li Shaohui deeply disagrees with this statement, he has never been to Qinhuaihe, and he doesn't know about drunken life and dreams and his daughter's beauty, but after he comes, can he know? Qinhuaihe himself has been here 800 times, and he has not been abandoned by a woman in the same way, he is not a single Wang who is useless, and he still does not know what drunken life and dream death and daughter beauty are.
Aside from these, Li Shaohui's deepest feeling for Nanjing is the bleakness and tragedy here, as the city of Jinling in the Ming Dynasty, it has the indomitable integrity of the Ming Dynasty "the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in the society", so when the Ming Dynasty fell and Qin Huai Bayan disappeared, the prosperity and lingering here as the city of Jinling also became a sad past, and it was buried in the grave of history, which can only be remembered by future generations.
In fact, whether it is history or humanities, what can keep the heart of a city has to be people, the person who makes himself unforgettable.
It's just that time is long, the years are ruthless, and the people who can keep Li Shaohui have long disappeared without a trace.
So now Li Shaohui is living in a mess, although it has been more than two years, he has not been able to let go, has been missing, has been waiting, his mother has taught him since he was a child, men must always be able to afford to let go, always look forward, can not look back, but he finally disappointed his mother.
In the past two years, Li Shaohui has tried his best to forget that person and desperately not think about her, but whenever he is sad and depressed, his mind is full of her gentle smile, and he wants to talk to her about his heart.
In the past two years, Li Shaohui has spent more than 700 days missing her and waiting for her, but she is still nowhere to be found, and even God seems to be indifferent to Li Shaohui's infatuation, and never gives him a chance to reunite after a long absence.
Li Shaohui looked at the fallen leaves of the sycamore in late autumn, and his mood became gloomy.
In the days that followed, Li Shaohui, who still had no work, wandered in this fashionable and modern and classical and simple city like a "ghost", he saw the city's endless traffic on the road, also saw the city's singing and dancing night scene, and also saw the city's brightly lit couples...
So these days, the lonely Li Shaohui can only quietly taste the taste of loneliness, and some people will ask if loneliness is not loneliness? In fact, these are two completely different concepts, just like the difference between darkness and night, in the past, the lonely Li Shaohui stood under a small tree in the rain, rummaged through the mobile phone address book, but could not find a person to deliver the umbrella; now, the lonely Li Shaohui, under the cold eaves, in the pouring rain, will quietly wait for the moment when the rain stops.
An old city, a frustrated man, tasting loneliness and loneliness alone, how much patience can he have to persevere?
