Chapter 71: A chance encounter on a night train
"I walked down the street at six o'clock in the morning, with no one on the street, with a tired body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The vicissitudes of last night were in a hurry, and they had long been numb to the unknown world.
A cool breeze blew through my messy hair.
The bag in my hand tortured my heavy steps.
Suddenly, I saw a familiar scene in the station.
Full of wanderers' dreams, and inexplicable sorrows.
The longing to go home brought tears to my eyes again.
How long has it been since an old song has been sung aloud.
I've changed over the years.
The thoughts in my heart are still the same place.
……”
The world outside the window is shrouded in endless darkness, and occasionally passing by a field hut with dim street lamps, you can barely see some outlines within a few meters, and then in an instant you will be thrown into the distance by a speeding train, and everything will return to a dark nothingness.
At four o'clock before dawn, Duan Shanshan woke up from his dream very uncomfortably, although he had successfully lost his belly, but he still had nothing to do with thinness, so he slept very uncomfortably on the cramped middle bunk. I took out my phone and looked at the time, although it was still early, I couldn't continue to sleep because of my backache. So he simply climbed out of the berth, sat alone on a small folding stool next to the bed, put on headphones and listened to the songs downloaded from his notebook.
As a result, when the song "Coming Home" by Wang Jie sounded on a loop, he was caught off guard in an instant, and he couldn't tell if it was nostalgia for home, or if the journey in just four months had imprinted him with too many and too deep memories, and the sorrowful farewell that he hadn't taken as a thing at all before grabbed him like this. At this time, I suddenly looked back, and realized that many people I knew might never meet again in this life, and many places I have been to may never be fulfilled in this life, so I can't help but recall many things in my mind, such as saying that my goal is Tomino in front of the roommate I just met, such as running to SH to listen to a concert of a Korean girl group he had never paid attention to before, for example, boating on the West Lake with those colleagues in the planning department, including a mixed-race beauty, such as the girl who was always shy in the Pizza Hut... …
One experience after another appeared in front of his eyes like a movie, and he was still staring in the direction of the window in a daze, but his mind had long since lost sight of where it was going.
I don't know how long it took, but the laptop on his lap suddenly felt a sense of impact that was neither light nor heavy, pulling him back to the real world in the No. 5 carriage of the K197 train.
"I'm sorry. An apology came from the side in time, it was a young girl's voice, probably because she was afraid of disturbing the other passengers who were resting, so she kept her voice very low and low, it sounded soft and glutinous, but it was very good.
"It doesn't matter. Duan Shanshan first subconsciously put the notebook away near the car window, trying to make room for the other party to pass by, and then reflexively turned his head to look at the other party.
The first feeling is that she is so tall! Although the lights are turned off at night in the sleeper compartment, and the appearance is not clear at all, and only a vague humanoid silhouette can be seen, but it is still easy to see that this girl is far taller than Wakazakura and Sophie, and may be taller than Duan Shanshan himself - of course, in terms of his height, he is quite passable in the south, and in the north, he should be considered a second-class cripple.
The second feeling is that this girl should be in good shape, but I can't be sure, it's just a hazy intuition, and of course it may be an illusion caused by the dim environment.
Unexpectedly, the girl did not walk away, but sat down opposite Duan Shanshan.
"Can't you sleep too?" asked the girl in a whisper.
Duan Shanshan let out a soft "um".
It's a wonderful experience to be close to each other, breathe together, but you can't see each other's looks or age clearly.
However, I don't know why, this girl's voice made Duan Shanshan feel a sense of intimacy. Whether it was the effect of this intimate distance, or the stimulation of the ambiguous darkness around him, he could not find a definite answer.
"Can't you sleep too?" Duan Shanshan said as he politely took off the headphones close to the girl's side.
"yes, there are always people snoring next door, I haven't fallen asleep all night, and it's easy to move a little bit just now. But it was almost dawn, and I couldn't sleep at this point, so I got up and washed my face. The girl grumbled aggrievedly.
Duan Shanshan rubbed his nose in embarrassment, according to Liu Kewei and Che Guanglong, his snoring was sometimes quite loud, plus people said "The movement was a little smaller just now", thinking of the fact that he didn't get up for a long time, the culprit is likely to refer to him, right?
"Which bunk are you in?" Duan Shanshan asked cautiously.
The girl stretched out a hand, and the shadow pointed in the direction of Duan Shanshan's sleeper.
No need to ask, there is a 99 percent chance that it is him.
"I'm sorry, maybe I made a noise with you, it is said that my snoring is sometimes quite loud......," Duan Shanshan honestly admitted and apologized.
"Supposedly?" the girl laughed angrily, "don't you know if you snort loudly?"
"Well, I haven't heard it myself, someone else told me. Duan Shanshan said seriously.
The girl couldn't help but be amused by him, probably hearing that her own laughter was a little loud, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, but she could still hear a dull laugh coming from between her fingers.
"Are you listening to a song?" After ten seconds or so, the girl finally finished laughing, probably thinking that it was uncomfortable to sit down, and even began to chat with him.
Duan Shanshan was wearing headphones, but the notebook on his lap was closed, and although the music from the headphones was very small, it could still be faintly heard in the quiet night carriage in terms of the distance between the two.
"Well, that's right. Duan Shanshan nodded.
"Why don't you listen to songs on your phone?" asked the girl, puzzled.
Duan Shanshan was helplessly embarrassed again, he simply took out his old-fashioned Nokia 8250 and approached the girl's eyes to signal.
"Uh, my phone isn't good for listening to songs. ”
"Hey, listening to your voice, you're not very old. The girl stepped back slightly, then squinted her eyes at the 2001 classic machine in front of her, and asked suspiciously, "Are you an uncle?"
"Why do you say that?" Duan Shanshan asked in confusion.
The girl followed his example, took out her mobile phone and came to Duan Shanshan.
"Aren't all young people using this kind of mobile phone?"
"It's ...... Apples, right?" The girl deliberately unlocked the screensaver, Duan Shanshan looked at the icon displayed on the other party's mobile phone, which looked similar to Liu Kewei's, so he asked uncertainly.
"Yes, this is the iPhone 3GS, which was released last year, but now it is considered obsolete. The girl said casually, "The latest iphone4 came out more than a month ago, but unfortunately we haven't started to go on the market yet, and it is estimated that we will have to wait for a while." ”
For otaku or IT men who are used to sitting in front of computers (including laptops), there is basically no need for smartphones. Everything you can do with a smartphone is easy to do on a computer. At least for Duan Shanshan, the mobile phone on him has no meaning other than calling and texting to check the time and use it as an alarm clock.
"Well, I'm an uncle. Duan Shanshan sighed and said.
"How old are you?" asked the girl, suspiciously, and before she knew it, she changed her honorific title.
"I'm forty-five years old. Duan Shanshan's face was not red, and his heart did not beat, adding a round to his age.
The girl seemed to be taken aback: "Ah, uncle, you are about the same age as my father, you can't hear it at all!"
Duan Shanshan laughed twice and stopped talking.
"Uncle, you're also quite trendy, and you even took your notebook on the train. The girl praised casually, "It's not like my parents and my parents, who even need my help to install a stock trading software." ”
For example, this environment of not seeing each other gave the girl some sense of security, and it may also be because she really believed that Duan Shanshan was a middle-aged man in her forties, and her chat tone gradually became casual and natural, no longer as cautious and tentative as at the beginning.
Duan Shanshan continued to laugh dryly and didn't speak, because he didn't know what to say.
"Uncle, what song are you listening to?" the girl suddenly asked, "I'm curious, your age...... Like my father, he would only listen to those revolutionary songs and operas, which were not interesting at all. ”
Duan Shanshan didn't answer, but directly adjusted the length of the earbud cord to the maximum, and then handed the earbud that she took off to the girl, who didn't think much about it, and leaned over to put it on.
The distance between the two was shortened again, Duan Shanshan could even smell a faint fragrance, and couldn't help but subconsciously take a deep breath, feeling an inexplicable thump in his heart, and quickly collected his mind, pretending to turn his head indifferently to look out the window.
"Hey, I think I heard this song when I was very young!" the girl tilted her head, and her expression looked very serious, "It seems that when I was in elementary school, it feels very familiar, what kind of song is this?"
"Never Look Back. Duan Shanshan replied softly.
"Yes, yes, it's Wang Jie who sang it!" the girl said excitedly, "I remember!"
It is Wang Jie, Zhang Yusheng, Tai Zhengxiao and Yao Kejie singing, the theme song of the movie "Seven Wolves". Duan Shanshan added for her.
"Seven wolves, isn't that our FJ's clothing brand and cigarette brand?" the girl asked, confused.
It's no wonder she has this doubt, for the young people of FJ, the clothing and cigarettes of the Seven Wolves brand are far more famous than this movie. However, it just so happened that because he liked this movie and was used to smoking this brand of cigarettes, Duan Shanshan had done his homework on this issue before, and he happened to use it at this moment.
"This is a Taiwanese movie from 1989, when there were no cigarettes and costumes called Seven Wolves. Duan Shanshan explained with a smile, "The Seven Wolves Clothing Company in Jin Jiang was also established in 89, but it was not called Seven Wolves at that time, and it was not renamed until 93. The Seven Wolves cigarettes of Longyan Cigarette Factory were only available in 95 years, and the promotion strategy of using the same brand name as the Seven Wolves clothing was used at that time. The movie has nothing to do with costumes and cigarettes, but it is possible that the name 'Seven Wolves' was used for the costumes and cigarettes because of this movie. ”
"Wow, you know so much, uncle!" the girl exclaimed, and then she said to herself, "89 years, how old was I then?
Duan Shanshan blinked, it turned out that this girl was about seven or eight years younger than him. Let the family call him an uncle, this advantage seems to be a bit big......
p.s. made a male protagonist survey on a whim yesterday.,I looked at it this morning.,The four votes turned out to be all Che Guanglong...... This guy doesn't have many scenes, but he is so popular, it's really unscientific! The next time I go back, BJ must treat him to a cheap shop, and slaughter him fiercely to vent the hatred in my heart!
In addition, I have the impression that the night train from Hangzhou to northern Fujian in 2010 does not seem to be K197 but 2001...... It's a pity that I didn't find the shift time of the year, so it was written according to the current shift and time. If you make a mistake, please laugh it off if you are familiar with this train passenger service.
Continue to ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for book reviews (not evaluation votes, I mean leave a message in the book review area, yesterday suddenly jumped out of a bunch of tips and evaluations, which scared me, this book has not been signed up and put on the shelves, give me some recommended collection book reviews and the like so to give me the confidence to write down)!
