Chapter 4: Dreams
The rain crackled down on the car window, and the windshield wipers swept a blurry water mark. The gray sky was invisible, and the wipers scraped away the water stains, leaving a blurry shadow that could not see the road ahead.
A Rolls-Royce was driving under the rain curtain, and the woman driving the car did not look very old, but there were deep nasolabial folds between her eyebrows, and a pair of uplifted phoenix eyes were cold and indifferent, and she looked like a very strict and self-disciplined superior.
She was looking indifferently at the traffic jam on the road, her eyes flashed with irritability and impatience, the traffic jam in a place like Kyoto is extremely strict, and today's gloomy and rainy weather is even more unpleasant, as if something is going to happen.
Finally jumped to the green light, the car started at a turtle speed, the woman turned the steering wheel, turned to another intersection, at this moment, the screen of the mobile phone flickered wildly, she picked up the mobile phone casually, intending to pick it up.
A loud bang rang in her ears, mixed with the screams of pedestrians, and she felt the world spin around, and when she looked up, she saw a truck whizzing towards her, and she seemed to hear the terrible call of death.
I only felt a pain in my body, and I heard the sound of my bones shattering, and I only had time to laugh at myself, my sternum shattered, and the broken ribs were sharply inserted into my lungs......
"Woo......"
With a slight tremble, Tang Jingyun suddenly got up from the bed, panting, the feeling of suffocation was so realistic, like a shadow, as if it was really difficult to breathe in the last second. Rubbing his face vigorously, he looked around, and suddenly remembered that this was his home in Yinlin City.
At this time, the room was quiet, she got up and got out of bed, dragged a pair of slippers and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, the dream just now made her break out in a cold sweat, and the sticky sweat was very uncomfortable.
She had repeated this dream several times, and the car accident demonstrated in the dream was too realistic. The first time this dream was done was a few days ago, and the dream repeated the process of her death over and over again.
She still has a little unreal, she doesn't know why she has closed her eyes in the last second, and she has a sense of detachment in her heart, and when she opens her eyes the next second, she is back in her student days, the summer when her freshman year has just ended. It was also the summer that changed the trajectory of her life.
Without hesitation, she packed her clothes, dragged her suitcase and urgently left Kyoto, where she had spent more than ten years of her youth, gave up the part-time job she had already found, and hurriedly returned to Yinlin City, where she grew up. On the first day I came back, I went to worship my three relatives and touched the cold tombstone, which made me feel real.
Wiped off the water stains on his body at will, put on his nightgown, shook his head, and got used to the neat short hair later, and now the long hair of the shawl is quite uncomfortable.
In the past few days, I have been immersed in the memories of my past life, but I forgot to take care of my hair. I often lean on the sofa, and I can sit silently for an afternoon, without the eternal field, endless entertainment and banquets, so that the leisurely life is particularly comfortable.
She pulled back the curtain of the balcony and leaned against the balcony railing. This house was bought by my grandfather when he was young, and it was a very popular location back then, but later the development plan of Yinlin City changed, and it gradually became remote. Most of the residents who still live here are elderly people who have lived here for many years.
The pale moonlight shone in, and her lips were pale and ruddy without the ruddy of a girl of her age. The summer night wind blew on her body, with wisps of coolness, which made her head sober a lot.
She looked down at her hands, slender and fair, but because she had to help her grandmother work all the year round, she was a little rougher than the average young girl, these hands had not experienced all kinds of high-end skin care products, and had not become white and tender in her previous life, but she was thin enough to see clear green tendons.
"Alas......"
She sighed lowly, ignorance is the happiest, because she doesn't know what she will face in the future, so she can enjoy every moment of the moment. And when you know what is going to happen in the future, one scene after another unfolds in front of your eyes, you will start to feel anxious and irritable, and you will be overwhelmed.
Suddenly remembered the wolf-like man he saved that day, several days had passed since that night, and she had drunk a lot of wine with Lao Cui that night, she stayed there for one night, and when she left the next morning, the man hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't say anything. In the past few days, she has been thinking quietly about things, and she has not taken him to heart, wondering if he has left.
Only then did it suddenly occur to me that I didn't seem to have asked the man's name.
After being blown by the night wind for a short time, she felt a little cool on her body, so she got up and left the balcony to go back to sleep.
――
The next morning, Tang Jingyun went to the barber shop, asked the clerk about her request, and cut a neat short haircut.
At first, the young man who had a haircut was quite surprised, but when he saw her hairstyle after cutting, he couldn't help but sigh, Tang Jingyun just nodded lightly, paid and left.
Then I went to the market, bought a carp, bought a pound of pork ribs, as well as some vegetables and bits and pieces of condiments, and went back to my home to cook.
In the past, she didn't know how to cook, but under the care of her grandmother, some eating was already considered a good thing, and who would care about whether it was good or not. Later, when she came to the Tang family, in order to please the old lady of the Tang family, she personally studied with the chef and made a table of good dishes. By the time she took power, the people of the Tang family had been scattered by her, and she was the only owner in the empty ancestral house, so she was used to cooking and eating by herself, so good that she could feel a little home.
I boiled carp soup on low heat, made a sweet and sour pork ribs, fried a green vegetable and a shredded potato, found a thermos box from the house, cleaned it and put it in, and then packed a box of lunch, and hurriedly went out.
When I arrived at Lao Cui's place, Lao Cui was already eating lunch, a glass of wine, a cold dish, and a meat dish, pouring himself a drink.
Seeing Tang Jingyun, she shouted, "Ouch, I said Tang girl, you can be regarded as here." Then when he saw her new look, he said happily, "Not bad, good hair, short hair looks very beautiful, like a handsome girl!" ”
"What's wrong, Old Cui?" Tang Jingyun ignored Lao Cui's ridicule and asked.
"Who is the Lord you brought that day? He stays in my small place, I feel uncomfortable eating and sleeping every day, that cold momentum, it's scary to watch! Lao Cui lowered his voice, complained quietly, and in the end, he took a breath, "I don't think he's simple!" ”
Tang Jingyun was a little surprised that the man didn't leave, and then thought that he didn't have a minor injury, so she understood, and raised the thermos box in her hand, "I'll send it to him, you eat slowly." ”
Lao Cui nodded, and then lowered his head and poured himself a drink.
Tang Jingyun smiled, Lao Cui is also an interesting person, people on the street don't know what his name is, they only know that his surname is urging, and he has been living alone.
I only heard that he was drunk and said that he was from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and in his generation, he insisted on learning Western medicine, but his family did not agree, so he fell out with his family, and then he didn't know how to go to the old street of Yinlin City to do the work of practicing medicine without a license.
The people who are living in this mess have injuries on their bodies that are inconvenient to go to regular hospitals, so they all come to him for treatment. Lao Cui's medical skills are indeed very good, and over time, he is also well-known in this area. However, practicing medicine without a license is risky, which is why there are words of "not delivering babies" at the beginning.
When Tang Jingyun and Lao Cui greeted each other, Jiang Ye's ears moved, Tang Jingyun's voice was not deliberately lowered, and his sensitive hearing was naturally heard.
Listening to the regular footsteps outside the door, it was very calm, and the sound was not soft or loud. He could sketch the appearance of the woman walking in his mind, with a calm face, upturned phoenix eyes, and the pace of walking was neither fast nor slow, maintaining a certain frequency, not like an ordinary young and energetic girl, but like a calm and rigorous older woman.
Hearing a rhythmic knock on the door, the corners of his mouth inadvertently hooked up quietly, and he said, "Please come in." ”
Jiang Ye raised his eyes and looked at the woman standing at the door, and his surprise flashed in an instant.
The dim lights of that night were not real, and he was on the run at the right time, and he didn't have time to carefully look at the woman in front of him, and he could only see it today.
has a short hair that is quickly neat, a pretty face with a big palm is as white as clotted fat, willow eyebrows are like smoke, phoenix eyes are raised, and his expression is flat, and he is very indifferent to his gaze. The lip color is light, not as ruddy as this age should be, it looks a little more pale, and the bottom of the eyes is like light smoke, alienated and calm.
The facial features are pure and unpowdered, with the calm and introverted in the bones, which makes people subconsciously attracted by her temperament.
I really don't know what kind of environment cultivated such a calm woman.
Jiang Ye sighed silently in his heart, a woman with such a temperament is rare even if it is a girl who has been cultivated since childhood in the wealthy family in the capital where he is located.
Tang Jingyun naturally felt the scrutiny from the man, the kind of wolf-like sharpness, like a knife peeling off a person's belt bones, exposing the secrets buried in people's bones to his sight.
She suddenly understood Lao Cui's feelings, and it was indeed not an easy thing to be looked at by such a gaze, especially for someone like her who had secrets in her heart.
took out the meals in the thermos box and placed them on the stand on the side one by one, bursts of food aroma wafted from the food, stimulating Jiang Ye's taste buds, looking down at the food bought by Lao Cui in his hand, and decisively pushing it away.
Tang Jingyun put the contents of the lunch box into the two bowls they brought, handed him a pair of chopsticks, and the two ate lunch silently.
