Chapter 4 If you don't enter the spring city, you don't know the spring, and the spring is warm

There are two words, and the book says two; Looking back, Wu Hao went to Yunnan to find a husband, and that day Wu Hao said goodbye to Fan Ermao, went home and said goodbye to his family, and embarked on the road of finding a husband for thousands of miles. Long to short, I came to Yunnan in a few days, got off the train, got out of the station, and came to the station square, but I saw people coming and going, people dressed in various clothes, and it was a good scene of spring city. Precisely:

If you don't enter the spring city, you don't know spring,

Spring warms the heart.

Visitors know that the fog city is thick,

Smoke teases exotics.

This Wu Hao first entered the fog capital Spring City felt good-looking, standing in the station square and looking at it, surrounded by high-rise buildings, the road criss-crossed; As soon as he stood still, someone came over from time to time to ask if he could stay in the accommodation, Wu Hao would be empty in his heart, and he didn't know what to do, so he thought: It's better to leave here quickly and find a place to live first. Think about it, regardless of the south, south, west, and northwest, only looking for a road to go forward, about a mile or more, to see whether there are high-rise buildings or buildings around, and think in my heart: This is not a place for me to stay, find a path to go. So he crossed the road and entered an alley, and as soon as he entered the alley, Wu Hao felt steady, and saw that the small shops on both sides of the alley were close to one another, and the people were circulating, and he had the feeling of a residential area. I want to go in again, find a small shop to live in, think about going down the alley, walk around to see the stop, say fast, seeing the night lock the city, I can't help but be a little impatient again, the pace of the foot accelerated, and after a while, I saw a light box on the side of the road, which said accommodation, this Wu is kind and comfortable, walked to the front of the store, put down the backpack, stood on the side of the road and looked inside, I saw that the small shop is not big, the door is very small, I thought that this is the place where our number stays, so I walked in.

After settling down, Wu Hao sat on the edge of the bed and felt sad, the anti-excitement when he came suddenly sank to the trough, his heart was empty, tears were swirling in his eyes, his ears were buzzing, and when he thought of the road ahead and didn't know how to go, the tears finally couldn't help but flow.

Tears flowed down her cheeks,

My heart is filled with infinite sorrow.

There is confusion in front of me,

The heart is infinitely empty.

In this world,

Without a backing and backbone,

In this world,

Confusing right and wrong,

Confused with free-spiritedness;

I came into the world,

misunderstood the love of nature,

paid youth,

In exchange for sorrow;

The bleak heart is entangled in the distance.

Wu Hao was entangled in his heart, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep groggily after a while.

This night, Wu Hao did not enter the drip, and when he woke up the next day, he found that he was lying in his clothes, and the quilt had not been opened, and when he woke up, he was in a much better mood, so he packed up and went to the front desk to find the waiter to check out. A little girl sat in front of the stage, Wu Hao settled the bill, and asked the old watch for her address by the way, the waiter read Wu Hao's note, looked at Wu Hao with confused eyes and said: "Sister, you are going in the wrong direction, this place is in the eastern suburbs, this is Xicheng District." ”

"Girl, how can I find this place."

"Go out and go east for you."

"Is that the east?"

"The way you came, you go out and walk back, there is a platform not far in front, you see the platform, cross the road to the opposite platform and wait for the train, see the No. 8 car, sit on it and don't get off, sit until the terminal station, get off at the terminal station and then find someone to ask for directions, the terminal is not far from the place you are looking for."

"Thank you, good girl, thank you so much, great." Wu Hao thanked the little girl and walked out of the door.

When I came to the outside of the store, according to the little girl's words, I found the platform along the road and got on the bus, I was uneasy and uneasy, and I thought, I went out for the first time, but others didn't find it, and I lost myself again. After thinking about it, there was a crappy stick in his waist, and no one asked him when he traveled all over the world; There are two steamed buns in my arms, and I can't go hungry all over the world, and I can't wait for a woman to live with a different man, so I can always find a place to eat. I want to settle down.

The car passed through the city, Wu Hao looked at the high-rise buildings outside the car window, the fog was curling, it was very fresh, and there was a different kind of excitement in his heart, thinking that this place was so beautiful, there must be people like flowers living in such a beautiful place, eating and drinking spicy food, thinking about it, he seemed to see a group of women dining in front of him, and swallowed saliva vigorously in his mouth, and it turned out that he was hungry. I sighed in my heart and thought, no wonder the turtle didn't leave here, it turns out that this place is so beautiful, I have to find him anyway.

When the car arrived at the terminal, Wu Hao got off the bus with the people. Walking to the side of the road and looking at it, there are no high-rise buildings here, low and small houses of different heights and distances, which are messy. Wu Hao was at a loss, so he could only walk along the road and ask, like looking for a needle in a haystack. As the saying goes, if you carry two buns in your arms, you can't go hungry when you travel all over the world. This Wu Hao looked for a day this day, seeing that the world was dark and his stomach was hungry, so he found a small restaurant on the side of the road to eat.

The restaurant is not big, and after eating, this Wu Hao and the proprietress talked to each other, wanting to learn something about the situation from the hotel owner; This proprietress is in her thirties, her face is delicate, and Wu Hao is so old, Wu Hao's good-looking proprietress is also a sincere person, so she said to the proprietress in 1510; After hearing this, the proprietress frowned and said: "Big sister, I see that you are also a poor person, listen to what you say, you are difficult to find a man, this radius is dozens of miles, most of them are outsiders, look at your address is not detailed, I think you are really difficult to find this person, it is better to live and find it slowly." The proprietress looked Wu Hao up and down and said, "I see that you are also a sincere person, do you want to work?" ”

"Yes, of course." Wu Hao asked eagerly: "Boss, what are you doing?" ”

"I'm short of a food and bowl maker here, although the shop is small, there is no shortage of a helper, why don't you work in my store, you eat and live and have a salary, this store is often full of people from this area, by the way, you can also inquire about your man's whereabouts."

"Medium." When Wu Hao heard this, he immediately agreed, thinking to himself, there is no endless road, now there is food and shelter and you can find someone, so he picked up his backpack and went to the backyard with the proprietress with joy.

This person's ability to adapt to the environment is very strong, and it won't take a few days for Wu Hao to be like a sister to the proprietress; There are good people there, the proprietress is a plump and beautiful kind woman, so her small restaurant business is very good, the people who come to eat are nearby residents and people from other towns who come to work, they are all regular customers of the proprietress, all of them enter the store to eat as if they are visiting relatives' houses, speak casually, behave presumptuously, and do not treat themselves as outsiders.

On this day, a man with a northern accent entered the store, and saw the proprietress greeting with a smile, and the proprietress looked at it and smiled: "Old pig's trotters, I have died these days, and I don't come to see my mother, I don't want my mother?" ”

"Think, why don't you want to go, these ran to the border and went outside for a few days; These days, I want to let go straight to the empty cannon, why don't I want to, I want to be tight. As she spoke, she sneered and touched the proprietress on her ass, and the proprietress slapped the visitor on the head, then giggled and ran behind the counter.

After laughing, someone came to report the meal, Wu Hao went to the back kitchen to pass the menu, and after a while, two small dishes were brought to the guests, and the person who came asked for a bottle of wine, poured himself a drink, drank a few sips of wine, looked at Wu Hao and asked, "New here?" ”

"The newcomer is still your fellow countryman." The proprietress said.

"It's like," the visitor squinted at Wu Hao and said, "Come here to work?" ”

"No, it's looking for someone."

"Looking for whom?"

"I'm a man, I've been here for the past few years."

"Haven't been home?"

"No, I won't come back if I go back."

"Alas, the people who come here don't go back for a few years, and the eighth floor is dead."

"You're dead." Wu Hao's voice rose suddenly, his blood rushed upward, and his face turned pale.

"Sister, sister, don't worry, don't worry, listen to me." When the visitor saw that Wu Hao was annoyed, he hurriedly said, "There are two kinds of people who come here to make money, one is to run labor insurance, and the other is to pick up scraps and collect waste for recycling; Either you work for a few years and make a fortune, or you go south to Burma and you can't get a dead ball. ”

"My man is not that person, he is timid and afraid, and he will not do what you say."

"Bah, big sister, the people from there were like rats when they first came, and it didn't take long for them to be bold and daring to do anything, the money was not easy to earn, and they were forceful." The person who came was talking, his nose was sharp, and he looked at Wu Hao unscrupulously.

"My man doesn't have the courage you say, he knows how to work, and he eats by hand."

"What craft?"

"Carpenter."

"yes, there's a carpenter who has made a fortune here. But it won't be your man, people are looking for the daughter of the village chief's family, and in the past few years, she has gone abroad to pour wood carving craft furniture and made a fortune. ”

"Zhenli, where is it?"

"It's not your man, people say they don't have a wife when they come."

"Where?" As soon as Wu Hao heard the information, he became uneasy in his heart and asked eagerly.

"It's not your man there, that person is a good fellow of us, but he's been here for several years."

Wu Hao thought about it in his heart, it has been a few years since his man came out, he had a letter in the first few years, and he hasn't been home in the past two years, so he thought that he might not be able to say what it was, so he asked eagerly: "Brother countryman, you said that you were there, I went to see, did I also put my mind at ease." ”

"Tell you that it's no problem, but I'm afraid that you will run in vain, and you will have to take a car to get forty or fifty miles away."

"Brother countryman, what place do you say, I'll go and see it another day, you say?"

The person who came suppressed the wine, rolled his eyes and looked at Wu Hao, and stiffened his nose, and said: "It's useless to go, that person I have seen, handsome, extraordinary, the boss has a thick shelf, and he often follows two young people behind him." As he spoke, he looked Wu Hao up and down again, and rolled his eyes, "That person is full of atmosphere, could it be your man?" After that, he suppressed his wine again, shook his head unscrupulously, and then lowered his head and went to pick up the vegetables.

This will Wu Hao's heart was in a hurry, his face turned crimson, and he hurriedly stepped forward to sit opposite the arrival, patted the table, and said hurriedly: "Fellow, I said that I was there, I will go and see, is it good in my heart, isn't it, I can rest assured?" ”

"Big sister, tell you what is difficult, I'm afraid that you will be disappointed, that place is called Miaotun, remember, go out of this door to the east, there is a small station on two or three miles of road, there is a car to Miaotun Town in the station, direct, don't get off halfway, until there." The man said, squinted his eyes, and said: "Fellow, I see that you haven't been out before, it's a mountainous area, don't stay for a long time when you go, ask if it's not and go back quickly." ”

"Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother." Wu Hao's heart fell when he heard this, his ruddy face was full of joy, and he looked at his fellow villagers and hurriedly said, "Thank you, big brother, I'll go and pour you tea." Then he got up and poured tea for the visitor. When I came back, I sat opposite the arrival, looked at the visitor cordially and said: "Big brother, I've been here for a few days, and I've run all over the streets and alleys here without even asking a shadow. ”

"Fellow girl, seeing that you are also a real person, you can tell me, what is your man like, I know a lot of fellow villagers in this place, so I can ask for you."

Wu Haojian said that this will be like seeing his mother's brother, and the conversation box is not closed, and he talked about housework in 1510.

"Wu Hao, pass the food." The hostess shouted.

To make a long story short, on this day, Wu Hao came to this Miaotun town according to the words of his fellow villagers; As far as the eye can see, the town is not big, but the scenery is beautiful, a small river flows from the mountains, slowly comes to the town, and passes by the village; The town's thatched huts are second to second, and the smoke is curling, and it seems that it is already lunchtime.

Walking into the town is a very spectacle, I saw that the women were all dressed in various colors of tight-fitting flowers, jackets of light-colored plackets or cardigans with narrow sleeves, and the lower bodies were dressed in floral skirts, and the skirts were woven with various patterns, and the women wore long hair in buns, combs in the buns, hairpins and flowers for decoration, gold and silver ornaments, a silver belt on the waist, and flowered cloth boat-shaped shoes under the feet; It shows the enchanting beauty, graceful and colorful, all of them are beautiful and beautiful. This Wu was fascinated by the good looks, and unconsciously followed him into the town, and wanted to find a place to ask.

After thinking about it, Wu Hao walked into a cold noodle shop, asked for a bowl of rice noodles, sat down to eat, and after dinner, Wu Hao walked up to the shopkeeper and asked, "Boss, is there a wood carving furniture factory here?" ”

"Yes, the village chief's house is open, go out and go east, and the village is east and south of the road." The boss said, then looked at Wu Hao and asked, "From out of town?" ”

"Yes, from the Central Plains, I'm here to find someone."

"That boss is also from the Central Plains, you fellow countryman."

"Really?"

"Really, I've been here for several years, I married the daughter of the village chief's family, and now I'm a rich man in this town, but you are looking for him?"

"No, I just heard that there is a fellow here, let me confirm and see if I can see it."

"It's difficult, it's hard if you want to see him, he's very busy, he's away all the year round, it's hard for locals to see him, you go and try your luck."

"Oh, thank you." Wu Hao thanked the shopkeeper for going out to the east, out of the town but saw the terrain in front of him gently, looking into the distance, a square-shaped rice field, the roar of the plane above came from afar, Wu Hao looked for prestige, and saw the plane flying in the sky like a big bird, very low, Wu Hao had never seen the plane like a big bird so closely, very curious, unconsciously standing on the side of the road, holding an umbrella in his hand and watching the plane fly overhead, this will not have the eagerness when he came just now, with the exact news, his heart is much calmer, Faintly my heart swelled with joy.

There is a large factory building not far from the town, and there is a factory gate next to the road, and there are beautifully decorated street houses on both sides of the gate. Just as he was about to go inside, he found a person in the porter and stopped Wu Hao at the door.

"Who are you looking for?" The doorman looked at Wu Hao and asked.

"Hello, I'm from the mainland, I heard that your factory director is from the mainland, I want to meet him."

"Just you?" The doorman looked at Wu Hao suspiciously.

"Huh? Can't see it? ”

"It's hard for us to see each other, let alone you."

"Then he doesn't live here?"

"I live here, but I've been on a business trip, and I just came back from Myanmar, so I don't know if I'll come to the factory today."

"Then I'll wait," Wu Hao said and wanted to go inside, but the doorman stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "You can't enter inside, there are regulations here, outsiders are not allowed to enter, I'm sorry." ”

"Oh, I'll wait outside." Wu Hao retreated stupidly, stood in front of the factory gate and looked in, but saw the rows of factories, far away, unable to see the end, gasped in his heart, and thought: No wonder I am not allowed to enter, I can't find the way to go in such a big factory, alas, just wait in front of this door. I wanted to turn around and leave the factory gate, and walked a short distance to find a road tooth to sit on the road curb stone, my heart was cold for most of the time, and the joy just now flew to the minions of the country, thinking, what a majestic person the boss of such a big factory should be, it is not my heartless man, it seems that he ran for nothing. I thought that I should go, but my heart was unwilling, and I sat on the stone tooth in a desolate mood, and there were bursts of heart-wrenching sourness, and tears fought in my eyes.

After waiting until the sun went down, Wu Hao saw that the sky was getting dark, and thought that he should not miss the last train, so he stood up and walked towards the factory gate, standing in front of the door and looking helplessly into the factory. At this time, two small cars galloped in the distance, the car galloped forward and backward, and suddenly stopped in front of the gate, Wu Hao turned around and couldn't dodge, almost lying on the face in front of the car, scared Wu Hao's soul was scattered, and he stood there in a daze, at this time a young man got down from the car, pointed at Wu Hao and shouted: "Looking for death, if you want to die on the road, don't die in front of the door," the man scolded and shouted, "The doorman, the doorman." ”

The doorman ran out in a panic, "What are you doing?" Such a person stood in front of the door, why didn't he blast out. The young man yelled again at the doorman.

The doorman hurriedly came over and pulled Wu Hao to the side, "Big brother, don't push, can't I go." ”

"You woman is really blind, you dare to block the boss and the boss's wife's car, I will be scolded, go, go, go farther."

"The boss is back?" Wu Hao was pleasantly surprised, turned around and was about to go to the car, the doorman saw that Wu Hao wanted to go to the car, grabbed Wu Hao and pushed Wu Hao aside, this force was too great, Wu Hao was pushed far away, almost fell to the ground, and when Wu Hao came back, the car had already rushed in.

Wu Hao stood in place stunned, his heart was full of sadness, and he didn't even dare to have an angry thought, thinking that people in this world can't live better than people, look at the formation of people, how big a person must be, in my county, the county magistrate does not have this temperament, and there are followers, I heard the old man say in the past, the county magistrate in the Republic of China only had a group of followers. This Wu Hao was stunned and thought, and lost his previous hotness, so he turned around and walked towards the town to the west.

This is not my man, if it were him, he must have seen me just now. Wu Hao walked and thought: I am standing in front of his car, if it is him, he must recognize me, look at the doorman is fierce, if he says anything, he will get out of the car and recognize me, if he is, he can let the doorman bully me like that, I am also the mother of his two children, it must not be him. Thinking about walking unconsciously came to the station when he came, the car stopped at the place where he came, got on the car, Wu Hao found a seat and sat down, looked out of the window of the car in disappointment, the sky gradually darkened, this is the last train, the empty heart was faintly painful, tears finally couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, and slid down his cheeks.

There is a kind of thought in this world that is innate with life, that is, the primitive mentality of longing for men and women to fall in love and die, and to coexist in stability; This mentality is very weak before puberty, with the advent of puberty, the attachment to parents is gradually distant, and the desire for the opposite sex is also strengthening day by day with the growth of Heermon, until one day I find the other party she is attached to, this person is her or his closest person, the person who accompanies him day and night for a lifetime, the person who shares the bed with him, this person has no blood relationship with him, but is the person who people want to follow for a lifetime, no matter happiness and pain, no matter the future or hardship, do not seek to live with each other for a lifetime, Even if they love and hate, they must also depend on each other.

I don't know the bitter taste the most, and I hate to look for him as honey.

Although this Wu Hao is not a good wife and mother, but the pursuit of a better life is no different from ordinary people, life is like this, in order to pursue his own happiness, Wu Hao traveled thousands of miles to find a husband, originally thought that it must be easy, who knew that things were not as simple as she thought.

The car was about to start, when someone pulled the car, and then a young man came out of the door; Wu Hao looked at it, wasn't this the person who was yelling at her just now; Wu Hao's heart sank, thinking to himself what this person was doing. I saw that the young man looked around, his eyes fell on Wu Hao, and after a flash, he walked to the back expressionlessly and found a seat and sat down.

The car started and returned along the original road, Wu Hao's heart was empty, he didn't know how to go in the future, and he had the idea of going home.

When she came, the widow and aunt told her to come out, and she would wander out for a few years, and the feeling of homesickness filled her empty heart, and the trembling sadness overwhelmed her, and tears flowed down her cheeks. The passengers on the bus saw Wu couldn't stop crying, and they all cast surprised eyes.

Back at the hotel where Wu Hao worked, it was already dark.

Entering the store and saying hello to the proprietress, Wu Hao returned to his room, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the front with blank eyes, and turned around and lay down on the bed after a while, tears came out of his eyes again, dripping down.

The night was spent quietly, and when he got up the next day, Wu Hao cleaned up his listlessness, suppressed his sadness, washed up, and went to the front to be busy.

The proprietress came back from shopping for vegetables, looked at Wu Hao, who was wiping the table, and asked, "Did you find someone yesterday?" ”

"Nope." Wu Hao replied weakly.

"I didn't find anyone, why did someone ask about you last night?"

"Who?" Wu Hao asked in surprise.

"A young man, when you come back, a young man comes in for dinner and asks about you."

"What kind of person?"

"It's just a young man." The proprietress said with a gesture of a young man.

"I don't know anyone here."

"The man didn't look like he knew you, he just inquired about your hometown and asked you when you got here. It's not like I know you, I told him to wait, I went to call you, and the man said no; Then I ate and left. The proprietress said to leave the back kitchen.

This made Wu Hao stunned there, and Wu Hao didn't come up with a reason to break his brain, so he buried himself in work again.
