Chapter 218: A Guitar Without Strings

After saying goodbye to Fang Yuan this night, I went to the bank to check the balance on the card, and Le Yao transferred me 10,000 yuan very efficiently, and my life was temporarily guaranteed.

I took 2,000 yuan from the card and checked into a hotel down the street with my luggage.

In the humble room, my life seemed to be cut by a dividing line, before yesterday it was falsely gorgeous, today it is a lonely downfall.

But I gradually didn't feel how painful it was, because I had experienced too many similar days, and I became numb, and at this time I didn't believe that there was any life that was painful to live after breaking up with Janeway.

I no longer have a calling card in my phone, and this act of isolating myself with a strong sense of self does not make me feel lonely, but on the contrary, I gain a sense of security, because I will no longer be disturbed by the joy of emptiness.

……

Early the next morning, I went to the South Bus Station to buy a ticket to Xitang, and it only took more than an hour to come to the ancient town of Xitang, in fact, I have been here many times, but all a few years ago, here carried me and Janeway a light time, I remember deeply, she was here to dedicate the first time to me.

Come to think of it, not only Janeway and I, but many couples will sleep with each other here, and then break up, and then return here to treat the heart-rending wounds, so in my opinion, this small ancient town is the most contradictory place in the world, on the one hand, it carries the sorrow of the carelessness, and on the other hand, the melancholy after the pain of tearing the skin.

If I had a choice, I would rather not have been to this place of contradictions, for I have lived enough contradictions, and for me, every street and storefront here is like a frivolous bamboo pole ready to lift the last fig leaf on me.

Therefore, in the past few years since I broke up with Janeway, I have never chosen to come here to heal, and now the reason why I am revisiting the old place is because I no longer have a fig leaf on my body, it is better to face these painful melancholy naked, and then find the power to break through the cocoon and be reborn.

……

At this time, it is not the peak tourist season in Xitang, but there are still some tourists who linger here, and I forget about the annoyance, and walk with the crowd on the winding alleys paved with bluestone slabs until dusk.

I finally started to find a place to rest for myself, but the riverside inn when I came with Janeway had been converted into a bar, which made me a little lost, and I stood alone in the afterglow of the sunset for a long time.

It was getting dark, I refused to pimp one by one, and walked alone on the street, looking for my favorite inn, for a long time, and finally stopped at the end of the street, because there was a very strange inn in front of me, I looked at it, and there were only two words "inn" on the signboard of the shop, so it was an inn without a name, and a guitar without strings hung under the signboard as a decoration.

I smiled, and those two points alone were enough to justify my stay, and walked in with my backpack.

The living room of the inn is very small, the bar counter is just a simple desk, and the owner is a smoking man in a military coat, about 30 years old, but he does not have the vitality of a young man at all, and looks a little indifferent.

I came up to him and asked, "Boss, are there any rooms?" ”

"Yes."

"How much is a single standard room per night?"

β€œ150。”

"It's the off-season for tourism, and 150 is expensive."

He didn't look at me, put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and still said indifferently: "150, no knife (no bargaining)!" ”

I was a little unhappy in my heart, but I really liked it because I always made choices based on my feelings, so I patiently said, "What if I stay for a month, there is no discount?" ”

He finally looked at me and said, "If you live permanently, you can find someone to share a room, and the two of you can share the room fee." ”

I was a little surprised that he took the initiative to let me share a room, which would make him a lot less money, and it seemed that he was not a profiteer, but he was more individual, otherwise he would not have hung a guitar without strings at the door.

"Is anyone fighting now?"

He nodded, and then walked to the back room, and then brought to me a young man of about twenty-three or fourteen years of age, with glasses, and a lot of acne on his face.

He asked the acne man, "He also plans to live permanently, would you like to share a room with him?" ”

The acne man looked at me and asked, "You're not a bad person, are you?" ”

It is estimated that this acne man is a stunned young man who has not been deeply involved in the world, otherwise he can't open his mouth and ask like this, I smiled and said, "That's right, I'm a bad person, can I fight for a house?" ”

The acne man grinned and said with a smile: "Pinbei, it can save me a lot of housing money, and I can stay in Xitang for a while longer." ”

The innkeeper motioned for me to register his ID card, I took out my ID card from my wallet and handed it to him, and then asked the acne man, "Are you here for sexual encounters or healing?" ”

The acne man smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm still a virgin!" ”

"So you're here to wait for an affair, huh?"

"Just don't be a virgin."

I laughed in my heart, I met a strange roommate when I first came to Xitang, but this is a good thing, after all, it is not tiring to get along with this kind of honest and naΓ―ve person.

The boss registered my personal information, returned my ID card, and said, "You can go back and give Tong Haizhou (acne man) 1,500 yuan." ”

I immediately counted 1,500 yuan from my wallet and handed it to Tong Haizhou, saying, "Meet me, my name is Zhaoyang." ”

Tong Haizhou took the money from me and put it in his pocket without counting it, grinned at me, and said with a smile: "Hello, Brother Yang." ”

I responded with a smile in return, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take me into the room and have a look." ”

"Welcome Brother Yang to visit and guide."

I straightened my waist and walked with Tong Haizhou to the room where he lived.

……

The room is a double standard room, which has an old-fashioned desktop computer, an air conditioner, two beds, a few cabinets, and no other furnishings, compared to the careful layout of other inns, the conditions here are much worse, but it doesn't matter, for me, it's just the mood.

I threw my backpack into the cabinet and lay down on my bed, while Tong Haizhou held his notebook and watched the TV series.

When I was bored, I chatted with him: "Haizhou, are you still in school?" ”

"Yes, but I'm graduating in June this year, so I'll have time to come out and have fun while there's still time."

I nodded, and for a moment I fell silent without thinking about the topic of continuing to talk.

Tong Haizhou suddenly put down the computer he was holding, looked at me with a serious face, and asked, "Brother Yang...... Have you ever slept with a woman? What does it feel like? ”

"You're not a pervert, are you?"

"Brother Yang, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, I'm not a virgin, so I'm very curious!"

When I think about it, it seems that when I was in high school, I was also very curious about men and women, and I often talked about it with my classmates, thinking that this is the nature of men, no wonder I was scolded by women as "stinky men".

I smiled at Tong Haizhou with understanding and said, "You won't know if you go to piao once." ”

"I'm still a virgin.,Piao knew it once.,The key is that I'm sorry! Let's wait for the encounter! ”

"Principled...... I haven't slept with a woman either, though. ”

"Wow, you're still an old virgin!"

"Alas...... Oh, yes! ”

Tong Haizhou looked at me with sympathy on his face, and said for a while: "Brother Yang, I think you are quite handsome, how can you still be an old virgin?" This is not scientific! ”

"Am I handsome?"

Tong Haizhou nodded vigorously.

"You think I'm handsome because you're too ugly, but you're not handsome."

"That's right, I'm just too ugly, so most women don't look down on me!" As he spoke, he took out a cigarette case from his side very melancholy, took out one and threw it to me, and lit one himself.

I lit a cigarette and comforted, "Don't be depressed, don't you still have a brother to accompany you to be a virgin." ”

Tong Haizhou nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, when I think about it like this, my heart is balanced, no wonder I felt cordial when I first saw you, it turns out that we are all virgins, sad, lamentable!" ”

After some self-pity, he turned to me again and asked, "Brother Yang, what type of woman do you like?" ”

I was bored anyway, so I continued to talk nonsense with him, saying, "Big breasts, round buttocks, what about you?" ”

"Recently I was fantasizing about a woman and I especially liked her."

"Who?"

"Le Yao!"

I was choked by the cigarette I had inhaled, and after a while, I relieved myself and asked, "Do you know her?" ”

"I don't know, but isn't she a star! The recent court drama is very popular...... I also followed her Weibo, refreshed every day, waiting for her to update, seriously, looking at the photos she posted on Weibo, it's really beautiful! And I found that she looks better in fashion than in period costume! ”

I finally realized: Le Yao is really not the Le Yao of the past! Then he said to Tong Haizhou with a cold face: "Don't fantasize about her in the future, do you hear?" ”

"Brother, have you fantasized about her too? …… But fantasy can't be controlled, and I'm definitely not the only man who is fantasizing about her, so you can't control it if you want to! ”

Tong Haizhou said it so well founded that I had nothing to say.

After a while, he sighed again and said, "Alas! If I had the opportunity to talk to her, I would be willing to live ten years less! ”

"You continue to fantasize, I'll go out to find something to eat."

"Brother Yang, wait, I'm with you."

"Do you still need to eat? Fantasy alone can feed you! ”

Tong Haizhou grinned again, put his hand on my shoulder, and said, "Brother Yang, you really like to joke, but there are benefits to eating with me." ”

I was a little curious and asked with a smile, "What benefits?" ”

"I'll have dinner later, and I'll take you to Xitang River to see a super beauty...... Almost every night at 8 o'clock, she would go to the river to sit for a while, for more than a week! After speaking, he sighed and said, "It's so beautiful!" It's so beautiful! ”

I was a little skeptical of his aesthetics, so I asked, "Who is more beautiful than Le Yao?" ”

Tong Haizhou thought for a while and replied: "It's not the same type, if you have to compare...... Belch...... It's really incomparable, in short, they are all goddesses! ”

Looking at his tangled appearance, I was really interested, after all, men like to see beautiful women, especially in Xitang, a place full of encounters, which deepened the desire to see beautiful women, and I couldn't help but think: Maybe there is really a woman in this world who will be more beautiful than Mi Cai and Le Yao! After all, my circle is limited, and the women I contact are also limited! ――
