Chapter 13 Suicide on the Road
Ye Yan sat in a café with a quiet environment, looking through the window, it was an ancient building, with a strong historical atmosphere, pedestrians walking through it, and the shops were brilliantly lit, which always touched him. The place of Fei Lengcui is built by the water and the mountain, near the mountain side, and there is no fortress to guard it in ancient times, and only the army is dispatched. Because the Nordic region entered the Middle Ages, the feudal lord system was implemented, and the land and financial resources of each lord were limited, and the Great Wall was rarely built. But the lords built a large number of castles to serve as a defense. Because of this, most of these cities have their own characteristics.
On the waterfront side, running through the various wharves, there is a river street, and in ancient times, there were probably transport ships and merchant ships to play like weaving, transporting some sugar, salt, etc. Now it has lost the busyness of the past. Only three or two small boats, drifting along the river, if you don't care about a few dollars, want to experience a handful, you can spend money to sit on a small boat, from the water to see the Fei Leng Cui. But its charm lies in the land. The marble-paved road, winding into the distance, has to go up, so that you can see many shops standing on both sides—the craftsmen usually choose a section of the ground on the slope to fill it flat, and there are many of them, like a large staircase.
At this time, the night is shrouded, the lights are bright, pedestrians come and go, and there are many shops, but compared with Huaxia, it seems to be a little less lively. But this culturally rich city does teach people to linger.
Ye Yan took a sip of coffee, which was slightly bitter, but the taste was mellow: "If it's just like what you said, it's quite interesting." ”
Millie's blue eyes stared at Ye Yan, but she didn't speak, just looked at his strange eyes that seemed to reflect the universe, and for a moment, she seemed to feel that this man had a big secret—a secret that could not be said to anyone, but could only be carried by herself.
Millie shook her head, probably the after-effects of the last time she dressed up as a shrine maiden, although it was fun to pretend to be a shrine maiden who could predict the future and know people's hearts. It's just that after a long time, you will really think that you have such ability. But the rewards are handsome.
Millie waved away all her reverie in her heart, and said with a smile, "That's probably the case." Okay, it's not too early, let's go have dinner?"
"I know there's a nice Chinese restaurant nearby. Millie threw out a very seductive word.
Ye Yan and Su Yan glanced at each other: "That...... All right. ”
Millie propped up her delicate chin, her eyes narrowed, and she smiled "poof".
Then the waiter was called, Millie paid the bill, Huaxia is more expensive than harmony, so most of them will compete to pay, but this is not the case in the West, pay attention to the AA system, and pay their own bills. If anyone is invited to dinner, the host will settle the bill, and next time, it will definitely be the other party who will pay the bill, otherwise it will be a "hooligan". Therefore, if Ye Yan invites Millie to dinner, Millie will definitely not take the initiative to pay, but will find an opportunity to invite Ye Yan back to dinner next time. Foreign customs are not the same, which is something that needs to be paid attention to in interactions.
Then a few people walked out of the café and walked up a ramp, Ye Yan stood outside, leaving the space to Millie and Su Yan. It's just that Su Yan and Millie, two beautiful women with completely different styles, walked together, and the return rate was obviously very high. Passers-by, both men and women, probably look back.
Because of the limited space, most of these buildings are very good examples of land conservation, and many of the shops are pitifully squeezed out of the space between the left and right buildings. Slowly ascending the ramp, several people are more talkative, and the atmosphere is not too cold. Although Millie may find it difficult to accept Chinese humor, there are also cosmetics to talk about among girls, and Shakespeare can also be brought out from time to time to shine.
In the Chinese college entrance examination Chinese composition, Shakespeare is about the most unpopular one, everyone talks about Shakespeare's color change - because there are countless candidates, who have praised Shakespeare over and over again in a thousand tricks, resulting in aesthetic fatigue of the teacher who corrects the paper - I have to say, it is indeed a strange phenomenon.
The moonlight is pale and calm, and it is best to go out for a walk when you are full. But most of the nights when the wind and waves are calm, there will always be twists and turns.
Ye Yan raised his head slightly, a big white man, standing on the roof railing of a four-story house, surrounded by many people below. They all raised their heads and looked at the roof without sore necks, perhaps some of them didn't know what was going on, and they also gathered together out of the same love. Some people pick up their mobile phones, click on the camera, and don't care whether they take a picture or not, they probably just want to record a section, and then post it on Facebook, maybe it will be a hit.
Su Yan blinked and said, "Did you send something?"
Millie's blue eyes swept through the crowd, then at the sky, and said, "I don't know either. ”
Ye Yan pondered for a while and said, "Well, there is probably someone who wants to jump off the building, if I am not mistaken, I also have a bottle of beer in my hand, it seems that I may lose the bet." ”
"How do you know that he is gambling and losing?" Su Yan asked curiously.
Ye Yan burst into tears: "Who knew that there was an upset this year, and I bought ten yuan for Argentina, and it was flat." I bought ten dollars in Germany, and it turned out to be flat. If I had voted a little more, I would have wanted to jump off the building. ”
“emmmm…… You're not poisonous, are you?" Su Yan looked disgusted.
Millie obviously didn't quite understand: "......"
In fact, Ye Yan did say it well. The World Cup is indeed an extraordinary day, some people get rich overnight, and some people go bankrupt overnight and go to the rooftop. If you count the people who speculate in stocks, most of the rooftops are full. There was a man who was waiting in line to jump off the building, but he didn't have his turn all night, and was finally stopped by the police.
And this Fei Leng Cui is obviously not too crowded. The bearded white man was named Kenny Hubbard. is a divorced middle-aged uncle, he lives with his children, and he was originally decadent for half a year, but in the end he still packed up his mood and started working. But yesterday I lost my job, that is, I went to a bar to drink, and when I was drunk, I bought Germany to win, and gambled almost all my net worth, but when I woke up, Germany lost, the money was gone, and the job was lost. He drank up the money he had and stood on the rooftop, presumably intending to settle his life. His face was flushed, and his body shook slightly, as if he would fall from the roof in the next second.
Hot tears kept falling from his eyes, he was still quite clear, and his savings for many years were gone, he wanted to jump, but he was not very willing.
A crowd of people had gradually gathered below, and he took a sip of wine, and he was already penniless, how should he live in the future? A feeling of emptiness and remorse came over him, and it made him think more about suicide.
"Hey, bro, I don't know what happened to you, but don't jump. Calm down, God, there's nothing you can't get by. A Nordic man put his hands into a microphone and shouted upward.
Like a fuse, the crowd exploded for a while, and countless people persuaded him, like a vegetable market.
