Chapter 156: Let the Past Be Like the Wind
"Later, I finally found out once."
Li Guo smelled the smell of the landlord's sister, recalling the precious property that belonged to his youthful era, and then he suddenly felt that time was going backwards quickly, and the scene around him became the stuffy and strange smell of adolescent boys.
Summer, scorching heat.
The 80's electric fan on the roof creaked and rattled tooth aches, and the mosquito net was buzzing with mother mosquitoes.
Aside from the disgusting sound of the ceiling fan, all that was left in the room was the ticking sound of an old-fashioned clockwork alarm clock. There are also posters of Michael Jackson and Lin Zhiying on the surrounding walls, which look slightly yellowed.
Li Guo was sitting in the room near the door, quietly listening to the movement in the corridor. And Ha'er was also waiting with red eyes and yawning.
"You're going to die......" Ha'er, at this time he was still a teenager who stayed in the sea to cover his eyes and put studs on his ears: "If you don't sleep anymore, you're going to collapse." ”
When Li Guo heard this, he turned his head sharply: "Noisy to death, noisy, and there will be no class tomorrow." ”
Hal rubbed her eyes, took out a handful of loose cigarettes from the shoebox under the bed, searched for a while in it, found a red camellia with the lowest price, and then carefully wrapped the remaining cigarettes with plastic paper and put them back in the shoe box. and lit the red camellia in his hand, and took a sip very greedily: "You also like Sister Yang'er is Bo?" ”
Li Guo didn't answer Ha'er's question, but continued to listen to the voice coming from the corridor stupidly. The alarm clock on the table was already pointing to 3:10 a.m. The silence of the early hours of the morning, combined with the emptiness of the summer vacation, makes the whole school look like an alligator waiting for its prey in the night, and the hollow door is like its mouth, which has a special and strange horror atmosphere.
"Guoguo, don't wait." Ha'er shook off his elegant and rustic Liuhai: "I don't believe that Sister Yang'er would do that kind of thing." ”
"I don't believe it either." Li Guo bit his lip, and his eyes rolled with a determined light: "I'm afraid that there is something wrong with her, I can help her." ”
Suddenly, Li Guo heard the sound of footsteps falling down and vomiting in the distance, and he suddenly felt a thrill and patted Ha'er's shoulder: "Someone is coming!" ”
H'er's spirit was also stirred, and the two of them rushed out of the room together.
Li Guo recalled this, and suddenly showed an indescribable expression on his face, and rubbed his head against the landlord's sister's stomach.
"And then?" The landlord's sister also seemed to be fascinated by what she heard: "She really did that, right?" ”
Li Guo nodded and shook his head again...... After Ha'er rushed out, the two of them hid at the top of the stairs and waited for the footsteps downstairs to come up slowly, although from the sound of vomiting just now, Li Guo had roughly determined that it was really Yang Er's sister's voice, but Li Guo, who was not admitting defeat, still decided to want to take a look for himself. After all, it was Sister Yang'er, not some flowers or honey.
But Li Guo was finally disappointed, Sister Yang'er is Sister Yang'er, but she is like a different person. If in fairy tales, moonlight can turn one person into another, in Xiao Yang'er, Li Guo also saw this kind of magic that only belongs to fairy tales.
Sister Yang Er at night is an antonym with her during the day, her face without makeup during the day is smeared with thick fat, the clean and simple dress during the day has become a rich and colorful bag dress, and the white casual pants and travel shoes have become black stockings and red leather shoes.
Even the posture of walking has changed, during the day she walks lightly and quickly, and at night she walks, with a strong performance surname, not like walking for the sake of walking, but walking for people to see, every step is a kind of teasing and seduction, so that men and women, can't help but want to go up and tear her clothes...... She seemed to be drunk, with a strong smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and perfume, and walked slowly up the steps, her steps were small, and she was kicking and tapping. Li Guo and Ha'er, who were standing at the end of the corridor and looking at her without noticing, just carried her bag like this, bowed their heads and walked slowly.
The lights in the aisle are dim and yellow. dyed her into a beautiful yellowed old photo, with a trace of whiteness reflected on her emaciated melon seed face, and her eyes were still full of helplessness, so she climbed the handrail and walked up slowly.
Li Guo's heart shrank sharply at that time, and he stood in place without any movement.
Ha'er may be the same as Li Guo, the two of them stood there like two stools or two pots of kumquats, and the feeling of darkness made Li Guo feel that even the slightest light was swallowed up by the night, and even the sweltering summer night became cold and biting.
"You ......" When Sister Yang'er walked to the end of the stairs, she found Li Guo and Ha'er: "You ......"
Li Guo didn't ask anything, just pulled Ha'er to make way for Sister Yang'er: "We're just ...... Just come out and go to the bathroom. ”
It's a very clumsy excuse, Sister Yang Er may have understood something, she was dressed as tempting as possible, and suddenly burst into a bright smile that is unique to her during the day.
Like a gardenia, or something else with a bitter scent.
Sister Yang Er didn't stop long, just staggered into her stuffy room with a rent of 55 yuan a month on her red high heels. Leaving Li Guo and Ha'er behind.
That night, Li Guo didn't sleep all night, he always felt an indescribable feeling pressing on his heart, tossing and turning, and he couldn't sleep.
It wasn't until the sky was about to dawn and the burning clouds on the horizon were red that Li Guo fell asleep groggily. Then there was the endless nightmare, he couldn't remember what it was, he just knew how distressed he was.
When he woke up and went to the water room to wash, Sister Yang Er was also there to wash clothes, she became her usual appearance again, with a faint natural fragrance on her body, she vomited so much yesterday, but today Li Guo couldn't see any residue.
"Early ......" Li Guo greeted with a little embarrassment: "Are you better?" ”
Sister Yang'er raised her head, glanced at Li Guo, exposed the dimples at the corners of her mouth, and nodded lightly: "I have porridge." ”
Li Guo was choked in his throat at that time, and halfway through brushing his teeth, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Sister Yang'er in a daze: "Why are you going to ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't say anything under the eyes of Sister Yang'er, just lowered his head silently.
This was the first time Li Guo had the urge to cry. Li Guo, who didn't say a word no matter how he was beaten, suddenly had the urge to cry...... The memories came to an abrupt end, and Li Guo, who was now lying in the arms of the landlord's sister, couldn't recall it at all. I just looked up at the grapefruit tree beside me in a daze.
"This tree was originally from the school, and Sister Yang'er likes to rely on this tree to read comics the most." Li Guo rubbed his nose and said quite embarrassedly: "After Sister Yang'er died, Ha'er led people to dig up this tree overnight and plant it here. I didn't expect it to grow so big, and there was a small grave bag here. ”
The landlord's sister stroked Li Guo's face: "What happened later?" ”
Li Guo bit his cheek and puffed out his masseter muscles: "Later, Ha'er and I never mentioned this again." Sister Yang Er is also the same as always. We still have a good relationship. Hal and I used to get into fights, and she helped us with our wounds, and often helped us buy clothes or go to the bookstore to buy exercises before exams. ”
"Actually, you know, we're not so much having a crush on her, it's more like treating her as a sister, the feeling of being a sister." Li Guo rubbed her red nose: "She never told us her real name, where she came from, and her specific age." She said she liked the name Xiao Yang'er. And we haven't seen her call anyone, and we've never seen anyone come to her. Maybe Hal and I are her only friends or brothers. ”
"Later, when I was in my third year of high school, Hal had already opened a small food stall, and I was still studying. One day, Sister Yang Er suddenly said that she might be getting married soon. Li Guo's eyes suddenly sharpened: "It's that Zhao Kai." At that time, he came to see Sister Yang'er very often and often spent the night here. At that time, he was quite kind, and occasionally invited me to dinner. Sister Yang'er also seems to like him very much. ”
"Is it a story about a blind person who loves non-people?" The landlord's sister leaned down and kissed Li Guo on the lips: "There are many such bloody stories on bosom friends. ”
Li Guo smiled, grabbed her hand and put it on his chest: "But when we are in this bloody story, it is completely different. ”
"Actually, Sister Yang'er also told us later that she didn't do that kind of business, but just drank with others." Li Guo's smile was full of helplessness.
The landlord's sister pouted: "She doesn't want you to dislike her." ”
Li Guo nodded: "When she got married, I just signed up for my freshman year, but I didn't make it." Ha'er called me and told me that Sister Yang'er's wedding was very shabby, and Zhao Kai was still a low-level deflated third at that time. Even the money for the seven or eight tables of banquets was only managed by Sister Yang'er's efforts. At the food stall, the same place where we ate last time, it was later brought down by Har, and it was opened by other people at first. ”
"But Sister Yang Er sent me a photo, her wedding photo. There were no wedding floats, just a relatively new dress and a silver ring. Li Guo's hand tightened unconsciously: "But she smiled very happily." ”
"I understand this feeling." The landlord's sister pinched Li Guo's earlobe: "When there is a person around, a woman will be more stable." ”
Li Guo nodded: "Later, Sister Yang'er became pregnant." That Zhao Kai also hooked up with the director because of his sister, and successfully turned from a junior to a regular one. He also began to soar, first becoming the boss of the stupid Green Wolf Gang, and then opening an underground casino and developing a gallery. Earned a lot of money. ”
"You know, it stands to reason. Sister Yang'er should be able to live well. Li Guo smiled helplessly: "But it's quite counterproductive." When I was a sophomore, Ha'er called me one day crying and said that Sister Yang'er had died. ”
"I was blindfolded and came back overnight." When Li Guo said this, an unprecedented haze appeared on his face: "When Sister Yang'er died, she was less than seventy pounds left, and she was covered in injuries. She drank pesticides and left, she seems to have given birth to a son or a daughter, I don't know, but I heard people around me say that Zhao Kai gave her to the first official to play for a whole month when she was eight months pregnant. ”
When Li Guo spoke, his voice seemed to be already trembling, and the stones on the ground around him were shaking as if they were on the surface of a drum.
"Calm down." The landlord's sister gently touched Li Guo's chest to soothe his emotions: "You didn't go to take revenge at that time?" ”
Li Guo shook his head gloomily: "I didn't have that ability at that time. Hal was about to bring a kitchen knife and went over, but I grabbed it. ”
"Did you tell your dad?" The landlord's sister propped her chin: "He should help you." ”
Li Guo reached out and pinched the landlord's sister's face: "This kind of thing always has to come by yourself." Ten or twenty years, I have been waiting for a chance one day. ”
"People like you are the most terrifying." The landlord's sister grinned: "As an enemy, you will worry about people. ”
Li Guo shook his head: "That's not what I said, if I had it like this at that time, I would have abolished them a long time ago." Only those who are not born are best understood in their hearts. ”
At this moment, Li Guo suddenly heard a desolate and extremely unpleasant dry howl...... Source...... Is it a disabled person...... The landlord's sister also heard it, and she pointed to the disabled Zhijian who was pinned to Li Guo's belt: "You should throw it away early, it's so annoying." ”
Li Guo smiled, opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"It's pathetic...... It's so pitiful......" The handicapped Zhijian howled loudly: "My soft and fragile heart is cracked into a thirty-five degree southward inclination. ”
When Li Guo was still wondering what the thirty-five southward angle was, the disabled Zhijian suddenly burst out of Li Guo's waist, and the light blade suddenly appeared, and then stopped one meter in front of Li Guo: "Boy! Let's go, let's kill and sacrifice Uncle Ben with the blood of that man instead of three animals! Uncle Ben hasn't drunk blood for a long time, hahahahahaha! ”
"Neuropathy." Li Guo reached out and grabbed the disabled Zhijian, and thrust it into the soil: "Stop." ”
The disabled Zhijian's voice suddenly lowered: "Young man, only with the blood of the wicked can we forge eternal and immortal poems." Fairness, justice, openness, and fairness are just dark corners that you can't see. Why can American personal heroism make the whole world boil, because this kind of thing does not only exist around you and me. Reality is disappointing, why should you be afraid when you can detach yourself from reality! Juvenile! Don't let the old man down, the old man and you are partners, partners! Does the partner know? It's a friend, you don't need to be polite between friends, take me, go fight and kill! ”
"Ki your sister." Li Guo glanced at the disabled Zhijian: "You didn't listen to what the bird said?" ”
"Mu You......" Disabled Zhijian hesitated for a while: "What did she say?" ”
Li Guo had no choice but to repeat what Bird Zijing said in the morning to the disabled Zhijian.
"That's right." Zhijian, who is disabled, softened his tone a lot: "Young man, give you a task, go and plug the bird first." Uncle Ben likes her very much, you go and insert her! Don't let other men get ahead of you. ”
"Can you not talk so nastyly." Li Guo kicked the disabled Zhijian: "There are ladies here." ”
The landlord's sister was stunned: "You mean me?" You plugged me last night. ”
Li Guo was stunned...... The disabled Zhijian was silent for a while and then said, "The old man has a suggestion. ”
"Old sister!" Li Guo kicked his crippled Zhijian again: "Can you speak well?" ”
"Lao Tzu has a suggestion." Zhijian's voice was very lowly: "Can you kill this line from top to bottom, isn't that garbage a high-ranking official to give your sister to play with?" If the taste is so heavy, it must not be a very good bird, and then talk about it, all the old man...... Lao Tzu supports you. ”
"You?" Li Guo was stunned: "You support me?" ”
The hilt of the handicapped sword shook as if nodding: "I! Of course, it's mainly the scholar, even those perverts have to give the scholar face, not to mention a mere second king. ”
"Who is the second Wang?" Li Guo touched his chin: "That captain of the National Protection Team?" ”
"Plays like that old slut." The disabled Zhijian was proud: "If you properly violate the balance of the game, that guy won't say anything about you, after all, you are a closed disciple of the scholar." That old slut doesn't dare to joke with the scholar, don't look at the scholar like that, that guy has a small heart. ”
Li Guo understood...... Uncle Book Soul seems to really seem to have a lot of origin. But if he didn't talk about it, no one would want to know. The disabled Zhijian may know, but they will kick each other's balls...... After thinking for a while, Li Guo looked at the sky, got up from the ground as soon as he was bone, and grabbed the landlord's sister's hand: "Do you want to go now, or sit for a while?" ”
The landlord's sister raised her face and looked at Li Guo: "You carry me." ”
Li Guo was stunned for a moment, then turned around silently and squatted down: "Come up." ”
Then, under the coaxing of the disabled Zhijian, the landlord's sister climbed on Li Guo's back: "I'll accompany you to the mobilization meeting in the evening." ”
Li Guo nodded: "Sing "On the Golden Mountain of Yanjing" to me in Chinese." ”
"Roll ......"
Li Guo laughed, then looked back at the grapefruit tree, and shouted loudly, "Sister Yang'er, I'm leaving." Come back to see me when you have time. ”
Zhijian, who is disabled, also shouted: "I have time to dream!" ”
Li Guo: "......"
When you descend the mountain, the sun is setting and the tall teak trees are waving in the wind, as if someone is waving goodbye.
