Chapter 45: Riding Alone
Warmth is not the main tone of this season, these days, every day is cold, but today, the weather is not so cold. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xu Guo's motorcycle is not loud, not the kind of motorcycle with a lot of noise, there are some motorcycles, driving is very loud, like exploding, Xu Guo's motorcycle, is carefully selected by him, the appearance is good-looking, and the driving speed can be adjusted according to his needs on the road. Xu Guo didn't bring many things, what he wore and what he ate, all of them were packed in the mountaineering bag behind him, the mountaineering bag with a capacity of sixty liters, orange red, very beautiful, he went out, it was enough to bring such a mountaineering bag, travel lightly, and don't feel cumbersome.
His motorcycle is yellow, it's a beautiful yellow, and he rides it out of the city, to the outskirts, to the outskirts of the city, and the scenery is different, in the city, it's the cityscape, and in the suburbs, it's the nature. Looking into the distance, you can see a lot of dead grass, and in the cold land, there is no one in the cold land, and the wind blows through the dry grass from time to time, making it even more desolate.
Xu Guo just wants to open his eyes and expand his spiritual world, if you don't see this suburb, you don't know what the suburbs are like, and if you look at all parts of the country, you can know what the real world is like.
The collection of essays that Lu Cun gave to Xu Guo, Xu Guo put it in the bag behind him, that collection of essays, he has been reading it all this time, and there is another article, he finished reading it. Xu Guo stopped in the suburbs, he sat on the side of the road, took out the book of essays, read the last article, and then, he closed the book and put it on the side of the road. If someone walks by here, they will pick up a book on the side of the road.
Throwing away this book that he had read, Xu Guo's mountaineering bag was lighter, in fact, it was not much lighter, one less book, it was less weight, but this weight, the body is not easy to feel, this feeling, is a psychological feeling, I always feel that if I abandon a book, the mountaineering bag will lose the weight of a book.
He has ridden from the center of the city to the suburbs, and if he rides further, it will be very desolate, two places where there are no buildings at all, and the land without buildings gives people the feeling that it is quiet, Xu Guo often walks in the city, and rarely has this feeling, in the city, every day is the noise of cars, the noise of pedestrians, and riding to this area, there is no noisy human voice.
But Xu Guo still wanted to hear someone talk, because he was hungry and wanted to buy something to eat. He accelerated the speed of the motorcycle, anyway, there was no one else on the road, if he could ride as many pieces, he would ride as fast as he could, this motorcycle was really energetic, giving people a sense of speed, it was exciting, the wind was very cold, the cold wind was blowing on his face, and his face was cold, but Xu Guo didn't care at all.
Xu Guo learned to ride a bicycle in his early teens, and at that time, it was a great joy to be able to ride a bicycle. Xu Guo still remembers, at that time, there was a bicycle, Xu Guo slipped in the yard, slipped a section, and quickly supported his feet on the ground, otherwise, the bicycle would fall. When I first learned to ride a bicycle, I couldn't grasp the balance, and I always felt that the bicycle was going to fall, and when I felt that it was about to fall, I quickly stepped on the ground with both feet. At the beginning, you can only pedal half a circle, the left foot steps forward, the right foot quickly steps backwards, and then the left foot steps forward, and the right foot then steps backwards, just a little bit to ride forward, this is called a half circle. Finally, one time, when Xu Guo stepped on the pedal with his left foot, his right foot did not step back, but stepped on the right pedal in front of him, which completed a full circle. If you can complete the first full lap, you can try to complete the second and third. Xu Guo still remembers the excitement when he just completed the first full lap.
Now Xu Guo rides a motorcycle, and there is also a kind of happiness, but I have to admit that he no longer has the excitement when he was riding a bicycle at that time.
What makes Xu Guo happy is that in front of his right, there are some houses, which look like a village, look at that village, it is not a rich village, that village, to say that it is not good, it is similar to a chicken nest, there is a narrow road to that village, this road is a dirt road, the dirt road is upside down, the road is not flat, it is not flat, there are a lot of stones on the road, such a road, Xu Guo really can't bear to ride over, his motorcycle is a new car, riding such a road, waste tires.
However, Xu Guo still rode over, he wanted to find something to eat, just now in the wilderness, he only saw grass, but not food, if he was a cow, he could eat with grass, he had to find a place for people to eat.
Driving this road, Xu Guo came to a village, where the houses were low, dilapidated, and seemed to smell bad. However, the toilet here is high-end, it should be a toilet built by the local government, the toilet floor is paved with floor tiles, and the walls are smooth, such toilets, in big cities, are not inferior.
Xu Guo stopped next to this toilet, he entered this toilet and peed, yes, such a luxurious toilet, it is really comfortable to pee. But the house on the side can't be compared with this toilet.
Xu Guo found that there is a vegetable market in front of the left, this vegetable market is not big, on the right side of the door, there is a stall selling cold vegetables, on the table here, there are twenty-five round metal basins, and there are many kinds of cold vegetables in each pot, eight yuan a catty.
These cold dishes, there are Xu Guo recently eaten, there are a long, long time ago, the cold dishes here, there are fungus, white fungus, kelp, black bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, spicy cabbage, garlic eggplant, cucumbers, peanuts, dragon's mustard, gluten, bean skin, etc., a total of twenty-five kinds, Xu Guo came next to each other, put it in a plastic bag, handed it to the boss, weighed it, Xu Guo paid.
Out of the vegetable market, there is a commissary in front of the right, Xu Guo went in, bought a bottle of beer, Xu Guo asked the boss to open the beer bottle cap, the boss who sold beer did not have a bottle opener, so he asked the narrator to sell broad beans to ask for a bottle opener, the shop that sold broad beans did not have a bottle opener, the boss took the bottle and knocked on the stool, but the bottle cap was strong, did not come down, and then got to the edge of the table to knock, still did not succeed. There was a seafood seller across the street from his house, and the man had a knife in his hand, a strange knife, like one for cutting sugar cane, with blades on both sides. He used it to help pry the cap of the beer bottle open. The bottle cap fell to the ground, Xu Guo held the bottle with his left hand, and his thumb buckled the mouth of the bottle, afraid that something dirty would fall into it.
He wanted to walk around the village first, get acquainted with the village, see what there was to see and do in the village, and then find a place to eat the things he bought. He walked around and found that the village was pitiful, and before he could walk much, he had come to the end.
After walking around for such a while, Xu Guo has a preliminary understanding of this small village, although the people in this village are not very rich, but life is still okay, they can have food and clothing, and they can live an ordinary life, which is not bad.
Found a high ground, there is fitness equipment on this high ground, Xu Guo put the beer on the ground, sat on the fitness equipment by himself, drank beer and ate cold dishes, and found that this is not good, not full, what a coincidence, opposite the fitness equipment, there is a baked cake shop, where it sells baked cakes, this baked cake shop, it seems to exist for the appearance of Xu Guo. Xu Guo went to buy two baked cakes and sat on the gym equipment to eat.
Xu Guo rode all the way, he didn't know what kind of village this village was, he had already left the area he was familiar with, and now every step he took was an unfamiliar scene. After eating and inquiring, Xu Guo learned that this village was called Qian Village. There is money in the name of this village, but the people in this village really have no money.
Coming to this village, not only is the scene here unfamiliar, but the people here are also unfamiliar to Xu Guo, this young man who is less than thirty years old, suddenly feels that he has become a lonely existence, a little unacquainted, unfamiliar with life, but not serious, this is exactly what Xu Guo is looking for. In fact, there are still familiar elements here, such as enoki mushrooms, such as baked cakes.
It would be nice if it was summer, it wasn't so cold. Xu Guo ate all these 25 kinds of cold vegetables in his stomach, and he drank almost enough wine, which can be described as full of wine and food. After a while, he still has to ride, don't worry, this bottle of beer is not intoxicating, after drinking a bottle of wine, it is okay to ride. However, Xu Guo didn't want to leave immediately, he wanted to rest, although the weather was not warm, but it would not freeze people to death, just finished eating, sweating on his forehead and temples, his character was snotty, sit down, rest and rest, this meal is not much, but Xu Guo is a little tired, this meal is tiring, Xu Guo needs to rest and rest.
Xu Guo came out, he had no intention of going back, this time he came out alone, and his life immediately became tense, unlike the previous situation of eating and drinking in the city, no matter what situation he encountered, he needed to face it alone.
When I was sitting here, two people came up on the road not far away, both of them were wearing high hats, and there were long brown and yellow hairs on their hats, and there were long hairs on the outside of their clothes, and they were very warm clothes and hats, and these two men, at first glance, looked like they had not eaten, and one of them came to the door of this hotel with a pheasant in his hand, and there were tables and stools outside the hotel, and they sat down on the stools, and said that they had made this pheasant, and how much they paid, and they would calculate it.
They were all holding long guns, their guns, they looked very old, Xu Guo was sitting on the gym equipment not far away, looking at these two people, at this time, the sky was already a little dark, Xu Guo got up and rode his motorcycle.
The man who was carrying the pheasant just now suddenly said to Xu Guo: "It's so late, where is the little brother going to ride?" paused, and then said: "There is a wild land in front of you, there are mountains, don't ride forward, just find a hotel in this village and stay overnight." There are beasts. ”
"There are beasts?" Xu Guo was startled by his words, "What beasts? Where are the beasts?"
"Are you afraid of tigers, are you afraid of wolves?" said the man, turning and smiling, "don't you see that we both have guns? I tell you, we are both hunters, and I know how dangerous it is in the wilderness ahead." We've been living here for decades, and for what year has no one been eaten by wild beasts? ”
After this person said, Xu Guo didn't dare to ride anymore, when he came to this village, he rode a long way, and finally saw this village, he also knew that if he rode to other places, how many kilometers, it was all wilderness, there were no street lights, and it was not safe to ride. What's more, if there are beasts, as this man said, it will be even more terrifying.
