Chapter 12: Waiting (3)
Two days later, at noon, they came to this place again.
It seems that this Sister Xia Lan is really famous, obviously it is only noon on Wednesday, and there are already a lot of people here, but most of them are not good-looking, especially when they see these two, after all, a handsome guy is followed by a tall guy, this combination is rare in this kind of place.
Lin Kongqing only felt uncomfortable up and down, so he reluctantly found a quiet corner in the crowd and sat down, ordered two glasses of water, and quietly waited for the "legendary" Sister Xia Lan to appear.
But in the darkness, at some point, a woman with a cigarette in her hand suddenly sat down beside him and said, "You two, come back to this place for the first time." ”
It was a woman who was not pretty, but very charming, with a faint sadness in the corners of her eyes, as if she was looking at them through the smoke, but she seemed to be looking at someone else.
Even though she smokes, this woman's posture is still very elegant, and she is dressed differently from other women here, except for the makeup that is slightly thickly painted, like an ordinary woman she met on the street, but still charming.
Lin Kongqing never thought that such a woman would have such an elegant posture, and she was stunned for a while, and hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Did the bartender say you were looking for me? It doesn't seem to be because of that kind of thing. Tell me, who sent you? As if she was familiar with this qiē, she looked up and down the two young men, who still looked very young, and continued: "But I am afraid that you two innocent young men are not veterans who have come to such a place. ”
Lin Kongqing didn't expect that the woman in front of him was the Xia Lan they were looking for, he thought that it should be the girl who was surrounded by those wolf-like guys as soon as he appeared, and couldn't help coughing embarrassedly: "It's true that someone entrusted us to come to you, and we don't know his purpose, but I think you should know something, his name, uh, came here three months ago." ”
When she heard the name, Xia Lan didn't react, but when she said the time, something was wrong. The cigarette in her hand burned slowly for a long time, until the ash fell on the glass table unconsciously, and then she laughed: "It's that kid, I know." It's not convenient to talk here, so follow me upstairs. ”
Upstairs seemed to be her room, the windows were bright and clean, clean and tidy, as if they were two worlds from the smoky miasma below. After welcoming them to sit down, Xia Lan said directly: "Say, how much money he gave you, I will give you double, tell him to give up, don't come to me again." A woman like me, ruined here, can only die here. ”
Sure enough, it is this kind of bloody plot of a rich young master falling in love with a woman in a green house, the corners of Lin Kongqing's mouth twitched, but he still had to bring the original words between him and the guest yesterday: "We contacted him yesterday, and the other party said that no matter how much money you have to pay, as long as you can take you out." ”
Xia Lan smiled: "Do you think that I am locked up and can't escape?" Need money to redeem me? ”
The two of them were silent and didn't speak, but they both felt in their hearts that according to the development of the plot, it should be like this.
"I, ah, when I came to this place ten years ago, I knew what I was doing, for living, for money, who cares about this. Later, I gradually got used to it, and whoever called the women here survived like this. If you want to go, let alone ask a man to take me out, even ten years ago, I had no problem if I wanted to go, do you think I have mixed up until now, there are still so many men waiting for me in the field, and I won't be able to make up the so-called money? If I wanted to leave, I wouldn't have to wait until now, I would have had someone get me out. She sneered, "But ah, I'm used to this kind of life, and when I go out, I don't know what to do. ”
She lit another cigarette: "The child has just graduated from school and is not sensible, thinking that everything is good, how can he know that there are not only black and white in this world." Especially love is such a thing, it doesn't work in this kind of place, if you want to find it, let him find a serious girl to live a lifetime, don't go to this kind of place to mix, otherwise sooner or later, he will be a virtue with those people below. ”
Lin Kongqing is not a master of persuasion, not to mention that this Sister Xia Lan doesn't even remember the name of the client, he doesn't feel the need to say anything more, but finally asked: "Miss Xia Lan, really don't even have a good impression of him?" ”
Her face was hidden deep behind the smoke, so that Lin Kongqing couldn't see whether she was laughing or mocking: "What is that?" Can you eat it? ”
The answer seems obvious.
"Store manager, go back now?" Zhao Yongjie asked.
Lin Kongqing looked at the street, which was becoming more and more lively because of the late hour: "It's rare to come here, just relax, go back in two days, and explain to the guests, in case there is anything else, it is estimated that we will come back." ”
Fortunately, after the guest heard Lin Kongqing's story, he didn't embarrass them, but called the full amount.
I don't know why, but it seems that this matter is over. Two days later, they finally set out on their journey home.
There doesn't seem to be any change in a qiē, Lin Kongqing and them are as if they have never appeared in front of Xia Lan, the nightclub is still so lively, and Xia Lan's appearance will still bring bursts of laughter.
"Xia Lan, are you alright?" Seeing Xia Lan sitting on the side with a tired face, a young woman who was pregnant but kept drinking asked.
Xia Lan leaned back on the sofa and didn't want to move: "I've been like this for so many years, what can I do, it should be you, you're pregnant, and you're still drinking so rampantly, what's the matter, you want to give birth to a little drunkard." ”
"It's better to give birth to an alcoholic than that lazy father." The young woman took another sip resentfully, "But I'm not looking for you to say this, you didn't say that two people came two days ago to pick you up and leave here. Why not go? It seems to be the little fresh meat that came back, rich and obedient, are you afraid? ”
"What is there to be afraid of?" Xia Lan glared at her, "It's just that I've seen too much here, and I don't want to delay the future of the child." It's not Romeo Juliet, why do you want to have a vigorous love. ”
"Could it be that the person you still have in mind? Hey, it's been ten years, and the caterpillar's grandchildren have turned into butterflies and flown away, don't you expect him to pick you up? Ouch, my Sister Xia, the most famous Sister Xia on the whole street, you still don't understand after all these years, there are no good men in this world, but it's not that women like us can have that blessing to meet. If you don't want to find a random gangster here to marry, I understand, but don't wait, you can't wait, and finally wait for the day when your old Zhuhuang gets sick, but I will see if I will look at you. ”
A slap sounded in the huge arena, but no one in this noisy stadium noticed this.
"You've drunk too much, go back." Xia Lan said coldly.
The other party gave her a resentful look and had to leave here.
Xia Lan drank cup after cup.
If she didn't say it, she had already forgotten about it, it turned out that it had been ten years since she met that person.
At that time, she was tortured by life and vulnerable, but she met such a light, and she who originally felt that human nature was evil and that there were no good people in this world, actually began to believe in that person's words, believe what he said, one day, come back and pick herself up.
It's just this day, and the first wait is ten years.
In fact, in the past ten years, there have been many people who want to take her away, some are joking, but some are sincere, and even the boss in charge of this piece said that if she wants to leave, no one will stop her.
How could she be so innocent like a little girl, she has obviously seen so many cruel realities.
But she was afraid, afraid that one day she would be gone, and that person would not be able to go back and find herself.
"If you don't come again, I'll be old." Xia Lan looked at the brilliant lights in the venue, poured the last sip of wine, and muttered to herself.
Maybe you'll come, maybe not, it doesn't matter, as long as it's you, I can wait as long as I want.
