Fourth, the beautiful shadow outside the window
It was a sunny day and the stars were shining at night.
When Gu Yi was on duty at night, he watched TV in the house for a while, but he flipped through the few stations, and it didn't mean anything, so he was ready to go to bed and play with his mobile phone.
As soon as I went to bed after washing, a person's coughing sound suddenly came from the power distribution room.
You must know that the only access to this power distribution room is in Gu Yi's current duty room, and there can be no one inside. This frightened Gu Yi, and it can be said that he was creepy.
"Did you hear it wrong?" Gu Yi thought to himself.
He craned his neck and waited for a while. Silent. It seems that I misheard.
But just as Gu Yi was about to lie down and turn on his phone, someone coughed softly again. It's really coming from the power distribution room, and I can tell it's a woman's voice.
It's worth it!
For the first time, Gu Yi felt inexplicably nervous. He had checked the power distribution room, and there would definitely be no one.
He thought of Zhang Deaf's nonsense, and his heart inevitably became uneasy. Because, no matter what the voice, Gu Yi can always find a reason to explain. Only the human voice can't explain it.
He quietly picked up a wooden stick and cautiously walked to the door of the distribution room. Turn on the lights, open the door, and slam in.
There was no one inside, it was quiet.
Two neat rows of switch cabinets emitted a low whisper. The floor was clean, and the tall windows were covered with cobwebs from the blackened rust of steel.
Gu Yi carefully searched every row of electrical cabinets and corners of the house, and it was impossible to hide people. So, where did this voice come from?
Just when Gu Yi was confused, there was another woman's soft dry cough.
This time, Gu Yi not only heard it, he saw it.
Through the high window of the distribution room, he could vaguely see a red figure above, just above the overpass outside the window.
It turned out that this voice came from outside the window into the power distribution room, and then from the door of the power distribution room to the duty room.
It's no wonder it sounds like it's coming out of the power distribution room.
Gu Yi quickly ran upstairs and came to the back door of the small building. Outside is the location outside the window of the distribution room.
On the overpass, a girl in red was pacing back and forth, while looking down at a book.
Gu Yi Meng suddenly broke out, and the door was also slammed open by him, startling the girl and staring at him in surprise.
Gu Yi looked directly at the girl, a little surprised.
Although it's not late at night, this is a barren hill after all, and it used to be a barren grave, so whose girl would come here to read a book?
Looking at each other, Gu Yi was suddenly completely stunned!
Because, he suddenly thought of that dream!
He, saw Ah Die!
This is, the Adie of his dreams!
She has a pretty face, red makeup, and thousands of green silks, and her hair shines like satin, delicate and smooth.
In the dream, he still remembered how Ah Die stood up when the two of them parted, let him take a good look at her, and always remember her appearance!
That dream was he had a week ago. For all this time, he had thought it was just a dream.
"Ah, Ah Die?!"
"You, do you know me?" the girl did not show the emotion that Gu Yi had hoped. Because, it was just his dream.
"My name is Liu Die, and Ah Die is my milk name, but only my grandmother calls me that. ”
"Liu Die, you, do you remember who I am?" Gu Yi was a little at a loss, and even had a little tear in his eyes.
The girl stared at Gu Yi, smiled and shook her head gently.
"I'm Gu Yi. ”
"Oh. The girl looked at him, smiled lightly, and said, "I know, you're the electrician on duty here, aren't you? I'm just here to read for a while." There are lights, it's bright, it's quiet. ”
Gu Yi was obviously a little disappointed by the girl's answer. Could it be that this Ah Die is not another Ah Die?
Liu Die pointed to the bottom of the hillside and said softly: "My grandmother's family lives under this hillside, where the bamboo forest is. I went to university in China Energy Technology and came back to see my grandmother. Unfortunately, there was a funeral at the third uncle's house next door, and I was blowing and playing all day long, so I couldn't read at home. I ran to this little Xie Bridge. ”
"Xiao Xie Bridge?" Gu Yi didn't know that the small overpass behind this small building actually had a name. He looked down at the bridge, and there were indeed three words "Xie Niang Bridge" on the pillar.
Xie Niang Bridge? Gu Yi's mind flashed out of the huge valley in his dream, and the villages in the valley, isn't there such a Xie Niang Bridge? It's just that the Xie Niang Bridge in his dream is a wooden covered bridge. And here, it's built of terrazzo.
Gu Yi thought of the poem that Ah Die once read to him:
"I don't know what's lingering in my arms, I'm bored when I wake up, I'm bored when I'm drunk, I never went to Xie Qiao in my dream. ”
To Xie Qiao, is there really such a thing as fate? Gu Yi thought blankly, his mind a little confused.
He never thought that the characters in this dream could come to reality, but if they were not the same person, how could they be so similar, even the clothes and demeanor were exactly the same?
What's more important is that Gu Yi has an instinctive feeling for some reason, which is a feeling that is both familiar and kind to her. It was a throbbing from the heart, a call from the soul. And all this has never happened to Gu Yi before.
Gu Yi seems to be able to feel that there are a lot of stories precipitated in her. His indescribable feelings, although he can't remember the contents, seem to be memories of the distant past.
"What are you thinking? ”
"Brother Yi?"
"Isn't that right? Then I'll call you by your name, Gu Yi. ”
"It's good to call Brother Yi, I feel a little touched when I hear it. Otherwise, go inside the house and read a book, the room is bright, and there are tables and chairs. Gu Yi wanted to let Liu Die into the house, but she shook her head refusingly.
Both sides were silent for a moment, as if they were both recalling something.
Liu Die slowly looked up at the starry sky, and Gu Yi also looked up at the sky.
Liu Die said thoughtfully: "Who is the Ah Die you are talking about?"
"She, she's mine, mine...... Wife. Gu Yi didn't know how to define Adie.
"Wife, you mean, you're already married?" Liu Die couldn't help but giggle as she looked at Gu Yi's shy and overwhelmed expression.
"Oh no, I, I mean, my dream wife. A week ago I had a very vivid dream. In the dream, there was a girl named Ah Die, who lived with me in a valley without hesitation, despite the strong opposition of their family. We met when we were apart, and we will never forget each other! That was the only spring dream I ever had. You look exactly like her. Gu Yitan said.
"Understood. An imperceptible look flashed in Liu Die's eyes.
She didn't ask about the content of Gu Yi's dream again, but turned around and leaned against the bridge railing with her waist, staring at Gu Yi thoughtfully.
Gu Yi was a little uncomfortable by her staring eyes, and didn't dare to look directly into her eyes, because Gu Yi couldn't get rid of the contemplative picture of Ah Die in her dream when she looked at her.
Liu Die stared at Gu Yi, suddenly moved her head closer, and asked seriously: "Brother Yi, what is your future goal in life? Is it to live in a closed circle of acquaintances all your life, and slowly grow old under the care of your elders? Do you really like to be an electrician? Do you feel free and happy to live a stable life here?"
What Liu Die asked was a series of topics that pointed directly to people's hearts, which made Gu Yi a little embarrassed and surprised.
Because, this is exactly his pain point.
The pursuit of freedom and happiness is an obsession buried deep in Gu Yi's heart. He naturally hates being disciplined, and it is his mother who disciplines him the most. He has grown up to the present, and almost everything is done by his parents. He didn't even really leave this little society. This made him very impatient.
The life he yearns for in his heart is to have his own independent spirit and thoughts, have a career he likes, and of course, have a confidant who loves him deeply.
Gu Yi knows that what he is doing now is far from his life goal.
Electrician was not his ideal career. He didn't have a college foundation, and he knew it would be difficult to have a career that really belonged to him.
When he was in school, he had always excelled in his studies, secretly had the dream of going to college, and longed to run to the wide world outside.
It's just that what Gu Yi pursues is not the glory and wealth in the eyes of ordinary people. He doesn't care about money. He only cares about a life of freedom and control over his own destiny, a career that he likes to do. That's all.
However, his parents wanted his son to follow his father's legacy and live in this closed circle of acquaintances. If there is no accident, the biggest possibility is to marry Tong Ya next to her, or a woman who knows her roots similar to Tong Ya.
And Gu Yi's ideal woman is an intellectual woman with elegant manners, erudite and intelligent, and a true confidant of love.
However, there are very few people with strange ambitions like Gu Yi in this third-tier old enterprise. At least his parents didn't have that plan. Their dictionary of life is only survival, not life.
Although Gu Yi has his own ideals, he has not practiced them. There is some cowardice under his stubborn appearance, and some stubbornness in his cowardly character.
It was precisely because of this contradictory personality that he gave up college like a child and became an electrician in a daze.
In a sense, his current life is a bit like the Xiangge Manor in his dreams, which both nourishes him and binds him.
However, how could Liu Die hit his sore spot all at once. Could it be that she really understands his heart and the state of his life?
Liu Die seemed to know what Gu Yi was thinking, lowered her head and whispered a little shyly: "I actually come to this hillside often to study, and I came here before I was admitted to university. You had just arrived here to work as an electrician.
I know you. I've always known about your situation. ”
Liu Die looked at Gu Yi and showed a sly smile.
"You always knew me?" Gu Yi looked at Ah Die, as if he didn't believe it.
Liu Die didn't answer the topic, and continued: "I especially like this little Xie Bridge, at night, it is quiet and there are very bright lights. I can read a book here in silence or just think. ”
Gu Yi listened to Liu Die's words as if in a dream. He didn't expect that Ah Die had always known him well. He often came to the substation to study, why did he never find her? He knew about her in a dream.
"You don't have to look at me like that. I was brought up by my grandmother, and I live at the bottom of that mountain. So, I borrowed it from the school affiliated with your company. It's just that I'm one term below you. I knew you then, but you didn't know me. I still remember when you were in high school, you played basketball, and you were very handsome!" Liu Die said a little shyly, bowing her head.
"No wonder. Gu Yi thought so.
So, you may not believe it. I'm right outside this window, and I've been secretly watching you on duty for days. Hee-hee. You won't blame me for spying on you!" Liu Die suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, but Gu Yixian was a little embarrassed.
He suddenly remembered that on the first night on duty, the figure outside the door could be this Liu Die? It was late at night, very late.
"Dignified man, are you still afraid of your little girl's house peeping?" Gu Yi still had some surprises. It was his glory and his stupidity to be secretly watched by a beautiful girl for so long. Moreover, what happened tonight is also deeply hinting at something!
The amount of information today is a bit large, and he doesn't seem to be able to digest it for a while.
"Tomorrow, I'm going back to school. Liu Die continued.
"You're leaving tomorrow?" Gu Yi obviously hadn't adapted to the emotional fluctuations.
"Yes. My vacation is here and I have to rush back to class. If you think about it well, the questions I just mentioned are clear about your true inner pursuit, and I hope you can continue to complete it and achieve it!"
Liu Die said, looking at Gu Yi with vivid and expectant eyes, and then said: "If you still want to pursue the freedom and happiness in your heart. I hope you can go to university, where am I waiting for you. ”
After Liu Die finished speaking, she blinked her long eyelashes and stared at Gu Yi's expression with affection, as if inspiring him to take a brave step.
She knows that there is still a lot of hardship behind this answer.
Gu Yi listened to Liu Die's story of some of the things she had seen in college, her understanding of professional knowledge, and the interesting life between college classmates, and felt that Ah Die in his dream was standing in front of him.
Because Liu Die's voice has a slightly magnetic nasal voice, which is exactly the same as Ah Die in the dream, how can it be so similar.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Die looked at Gu Yi who was in a daze, and didn't say anything anymore. She knows that the future path still needs Gu Yi to decide by herself.
She turned around, picked up her delicate little schoolbag from the ground, took out a piece of paper, wrote down her phone number, WeChat and her grandmother's phone number, stuffed it to Gu Yi, and raised her hand to say goodbye to Gu Yi who was still in a daze.
Gu Yi looked at Ah Die and walked off the small bridge in distraction, looking a little overwhelmed. And Ah Die also hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around, smiled at Gu Yiyanran, and shouted:
"Brother Yi, how do you know that I'm not her?!"
When Liu Die ran a long way, Gu Yi came to his senses. He chased for more than ten meters, shouting as he chased: "Tell me, where is your school?"
"Subei City. I'm at school, waiting for you!"
Liu Die's voice seemed to freeze in the air, and Gu Yi stared at the distant back in the darkness in a daze, unable to believe that all this that happened tonight was true.
This night, Gu Yi had insomnia.
Because, when he returned to the duty room, he saw the back of the note that Liu Die gave him, which clearly read:
"I know you have tooth marks behind your ears, and I have them too. ”
