Chapter 2: Hanjiao (1)
The scene in front of me seemed to coincide with some strange memory, and the slide kept flashing.
Once upon a time in a gray world, there was a girl in a short skirt standing in front of him, her two little hands tightly tugging at the corners of the embroidered skirt, her head hung down, her face could not be seen clearly, and her long black forehead hair covered her eyes. The girl spat out a series of vague and unfamiliar scales, like a combination of Hokkien and French.
Something kept falling from the corners of the girl's eyes, it looked like ice slag, and it looked like transparent marbles, Bai Yutong knew that it was not eye droppings, because how could a person's eye droppings be as much as water leaking down when the faucet is not tightened?
Whatever the girl said, she remembered that she was indifferent, and finally she turned around and covered her mouth and nose with the back of her hand, and hurried away like a heroine in a tragic drama, never looking back, until the sobs from her gradually became blurred.
Bai Yutong looked at the girl's back, didn't say a word, and the class bell rang for a long time before he slowly turned around and left, walking as slowly as a middle-aged zombie uncle with the Mediterranean Sea on his head.
Bai Yutong didn't know why such a memory suddenly popped up, he only felt like a damaged folder in his brain now, missing some lattice data, and the broken part was filled with some strange things.
Maybe he should find a brain doctor, or he should eat a few pounds of walnuts to replenish his brain, because he really doesn't have the right tools at hand, and he doesn't know if the walnuts that have been caught by the door can still replenish his brain.
"I don't know how to get out yet......" Bai Yutong did not answer Yudi's request directly. He didn't know the way out of the mountains, and he didn't have a map of Gaode at hand.
He didn't have a clue where to go.
Bai Yutong thinks that she is really a fool, an angel-like soft girl has descended in your world, and asks you to go to a three-Michelin-starred restaurant with her for a supper...... As a result, instead of accepting her invitation head-on, you also said a that "the price of pork has risen again recently".
When you go to a high-end restaurant to eat, you consume sentiment and style, and you want that romantic feel, how can anyone go to a Michelin restaurant to eat just to eat discounted pork?
An alloy steel straight man like Bai Yutong probably thinks that he has been alive for too long, even the girls who have been beheaded.
"Let's go together, we will definitely go out!" Yudi looked at the sky in the distance and smiled slightly.
"Okay. He said.
Although he decided to leave, Bai Yutong and the others did not have a specific plan, he decided to rest for a few days before setting off, firstly because Yudi had injuries on his body and still needed to recuperate, and secondly, because they didn't know how to get out of this mountainous area yet, and they needed to explore for a while.
On this day, even Bai Yutong didn't know how to come over, and by the time he realized it, it was already night. He lay comfortably on the bed, next to the soft girl raindrops as always.
He looked at the ceiling and unconsciously thought of Joanna, who kept wondering if she really existed, because every appearance of her was like a dream.
Obviously, the wooden house in reality is night, but the "mansion" in the dream is day, and the feeling in each dream is very real, but last night Joanna gave him a feeling that runs through reality and dreams, and the imprint on his left hand today also proves that Joanna exists, all of which is not his own imagination.
He had so many questions to ask Joanna, questions about who I was, why I was here, how did you build this house, and so on.
Bai Yutong didn't notice that Joanna's name kept repeating in his head. The next moment, he noticed that everything around him was brightening, and he sat up and looked around, his face panicking.
Huh, isn't this the Cangyue Temple! Bai Yutong was confused, could it be that Joanna summoned him again?
The golden glazed tiles line the roof, eight openwork red pillars support the eaves, and each step of the white marble is carved with reliefs of exotic beasts. The 20-meter-wide staircase is flanked by two wooden railings, and the entire structure is made of wood without the use of a single nail...... It takes great skill, and the best carpenters are ashamed to use nails.
There was a crisp sound of high heels in the distance, Bai Yutong raised his head violently, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, that was ...... Joanna!
At this time, Joanna yawned lazily, and walked down the steps step by step with her right hand holding on to the white wooden railing, with elegant and comfortable movements. Today she wears a golden slip dress with a simple dark blue flower embroidered on her bulging chest.
Bai Yutong hurriedly got up and stood upright in a panic, like a soldier who had met the leader.
"What's the matter?" she stopped not far in front of Bai Yutong, her expression lazy.
What kind of fatal problem is this? As if he was looking for her for something, Bai Yutong thought, he just wanted to stay away from this plague god.
He squirmed and didn't know what to say, like an old man on a blind date, "Uh, what's that, huh...... It's nice weather here......"
After saying that, he almost wanted to slap himself, and this sentence sounded like he was covering up something.
Joanna glanced up at the sky disappreciatively, still with that lazy expression, "It's pretty good, do you want to come in and sit?"
Unexpectedly, Joanna actually took his words.
"Okay, good!" Bai Yutong said dryly.
After following Joanna into the room, Bai Yutong became even more nervous. He had said some bad things about Joanna in his heart before he came, but he couldn't say anything in front of her.
It's like even if you say a lot of bad things about your wife behind your back, but when you are in front of her, you will still whisper and say, "Wife, are you tired, I'll help you pinch your feet."
"Sit casually. Joanna walked through the roller shutter door and pointed to the table in the room.
"Oh good. Bai Yutong nodded like a minion.
Soon Joanna came out, dressed in a delicate black slip dress, with a dark red rose as large as a plate pinned to the hem of the skirt with a thin waist, and black over-the-knee socks on her exposed legs.
The strappy high heels under her feet made this woman instantly evolve from a noble lady to a tsundere royal sister.
Joanna sat across from Bai Yutong, her legs crossed, her hands folded on her thighs, and she looked very large.
She gestured with her eyes, "There's tea here." ”
"Oh good. Bai Yutong hurriedly answered with a teacup, and then poured himself a cup of freshly brewed tea.
"Tell me, what are you looking for me? Joanna looked at Bai Yutong, who was drinking water, and suddenly said such a sentence.
Bai Yutong choked on a mouthful of water, he quickly coughed a few times, and then looked into Joanna's eyes in a panic.
What do you mean I am looking for you? At this time, his mind exploded, and for Joanna, Bai Yutong had never taken the initiative. He didn't understand why Joanna said that, every time he came to this mansion, it was because Joanna was looking for him, but this time she said that she took the initiative to find her, this is touching porcelain, right?
Bai Yutong's heart jumped in shock, "Ah, I don't have shoes to wear, do you have shoes that I can wear......" After saying this, he only felt that his forehead and back were covered with cold sweat.
"Yes, find it yourself. Joanna parted her crossed legs and opened an upside-down teacup with a cold face.
Bai Yutong suddenly had the illusion that he was reaching out to his parents to ask for money.
"Do you have socks?" he asked, dumbfounded.
Joanna's hand pouring tea suddenly stiffened, and her expression froze, "Do you want to wear my stockings?"
A cool breeze ruffled Joanna's silky ends, and her blue earrings fluttered slightly. The tip of Bai Yutong's nose faintly caught a faint fragrance of jasmine.
"No, no, no, how could I wear your stockings......! But can I bring some pairs of shoes for my friend?"
"Well, whatever you want. ”
"Thank you! Then you're welcome!" Bai Yutong ran into Joanna's boudoir in a hurry, like an uneducated hooligan.
Joanna took a sip of tea, "Why are you more than a little stupid compared to before...... It's like a drama actor......"
In less than ten minutes, Bai Yutong wrapped a few pairs of shoes in delicate brocade cloth, and then exited the super stylish palace-style boudoir, only to see Joanna with a depressed face.
"What's wrong with you? Relatives are here?"
"No, my family died a long time ago. Joanna said lightly.
Bai Yutong knew that Joanna had misinterpreted what he meant, and the relative he was talking about was actually a girl's menstrual cycle, the eldest aunt. But he didn't expect that he would move out of the topic of the dead family.
"Oh, I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to mention it......" Bai Yutong sat down next to Joanna with a comfortable face.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired......" she pushed the teacup into the middle of the table, then put her hands on the edge of the table, leaning her head on the side of her arms.
She sleeps like a noble Persian cat.
Bai Yutong seems to have seen this scene somewhere, when he was still wearing a red scarf, his good buddy Xiong Wenjie was already in love, and the object was Liu Xiaoxiao, who was in the same class.
For Bai Yutong, Xiong Wenjie is a saint-like existence.
Liu Xiaoxiao is a short person, only about one meter and two in the fifth grade, belonging to the short-haired and pretty Lori who doesn't need to punch in when taking the bus, she likes to comb two long and dense ponytails on her head, and that's what she looks like.
Under Xiong Wenjie's several bombardments, he finally hugged Lori, Bai Yutong admitted that it was thanks to Xiong Wenjie's parents who gave birth to him handsome, with a typical little fresh face, otherwise it would be enough to get this tsundere girl with his eloquence.
Later, Bai Yutong not only ate a lot of dog food, but also witnessed the glass-like broken relationship between the two people.
In the final analysis, their broken relationship was just the two elementary school students' mountain alliances and sea vows turned into hot tears, and then wet the bright red scarf...... It's not a big deal.
But the real reason why Liu Xiaoxiao and Xiong Wenjie broke up was because Xiong Wenjie had to eat spicy strips and have to smack his fingers!
Considering that this matter seriously hit Xiong Wenjie's heart, Bai Yutong jumped around next to Xiong Wenjie like a monkey to comfort him, but Xiong Wenjie just lay on the table without saying a word, ignoring the noisy monkey in front of him.
When Bai Yutong was preaching, Xiong Wenjie looked sideways at the white wall full of cuts, mixed with simple graffiti and messy scratches, as well as a few rows of twisted and crooked words, one of which was squarely coded "Love LXX for a lifetime".
Looking at it, Xiong Wenjie fell asleep so quietly.
Joanna...... Lost in love?Bai Yutong thought.
Bai Yutong sat lazily under the shade of the tree, looking at the girl kneeling by the water and fiddling with her hair from a distance, the girl was tidying up her makeup, not noticing that there was an idiot behind her who was peeping at her.
Looking at her, Bai Yutong couldn't help but think of a Jiangnan girl named Yang Siyi among her high school classmates, she was a very gentle glasses lady who liked to make all kinds of jokes, and at the same time she was also a cheerleader with a great figure.
She fiddles with her cute short hair during her lunch break, sometimes in a double ponytail, sometimes with a scorpion braid......
Raindrop stood up, looking like she had finished her makeup, Bai Yutong patted the dust on her buttocks and walked over to her.
Bai Yutong asked, "Are you done?"
"Well, it's done. Raindrop looked into his eyes and curled the hair from her shoulders with her fingers.
"Then let's go now, shall we?" Bai Yutong asked for her opinion.
"yes, yes!" Raindrop said with a smile.
Neither of them knew how to get out of this mountain, so Bai Yutong proposed to go downstream along Baiyun Creek, and Comrade Yudian gladly adopted Comrade Bai Yutong's opinion.
In the past, Bai Yutong read a wilderness survival novel, and there is a sentence in it: When you are in the forest and cornered, follow the flow of the river, although there are detours, but you will not go around in circles.
Bai Yutong carried a small linen cloth package on one shoulder, which mainly contained their clothes and shoes, and he also held a black box about the size of a shoebox in his hand - the eight edges and corners of the box were gilded, and the six sides were engraved with dense white patterns, and it seemed that the contents inside were quite valuable.
Yudi also carried a wrap around her waist, which was a square tied up from an animal skin, and she tied the wrap around her waist with hemp rope, which looked like a small pillow behind a women's kimono.
She stepped on a pair of dark yellow short leather boots, which Bai Yutong claimed to have "picked up" on the side of the road. The hair on her head was coiled like a freshly hatched flower roll, and the balls on it were held in place with a wooden comb.
It is said that this comb is a relic left by Yuxiao's grandmother before she passed away.
The raindrops were bouncing along the way, like a foraging rabbit, and she seemed to be in a good mood, and she should have liked the boots that Bai Yutong gave her.
Bai Yutong looked at the small body of the raindrops, and couldn't help but recall the red-faced conversations yesterday in his mind-
"What is this?"
"Huh? This is called underwear ......."
"Oh, what is this underwear for?"
"...... to wear"
"Oh, how do you wear this? Do you wear it on your head......
"That's ...... this."
"You can dress me up! I'm not going to get this ......."
"Eh, don't be in a hurry to take it off......"
......
It's like oil on the earth, digging a little bit is a little less. Friend, if one day the young women of literature and art stop discussing literature and sunny days, what poetry and distance can you expect?
Not to be outdone, when the girls come together to brag about their costumes and jewelry, they are like bewitching pink foxes...... That's ugly.
The sun is shining overhead, giving people the feeling of being in the desert.
The raindrops were still jumping in front, and the indescribable excitement on his face was like a tour guide in the scenic spot.
Bai Yutong was dazzled by the sun, and he shook his head and shouted weakly at the raindrops in front of him, "Hey raindrops, let's rest for a while...... I can't stand it......"
Bai Yutong didn't understand why Yudi's physical strength was so good, it had been almost four hours, and the girl was still like a galloping horse, crossing the wind under the unobstructed sky, and the mud splashed could not reach its translucent hair.
And Bai Yutong is neither a man with a horse pole, nor a little girl with joy on horseback, but a twisted duck swaying from side to side and kicking webbed.
"Oh, okay, let's go there and rest for a while!" Raindrop, hearing the call of the "tourist", glanced back at the panting Bai Yutong, and then pointed to the big rock in the shade of the tree next to it.
Like a dead dog, Bai Yutong walked to the raindrop and sat down on the stone as if he was in free fall, and then leaned hard against the trunk of the tree, his eyes turned into beanie eyes, and a wisp of white soul seemed to emerge from his mouth.
saved...... He said in his heart, I really want to rely on it and not leave.
Yudian was frightened when she saw him like this, and hurriedly asked, "Bai Yutong, are you okay?"
Bai Yutong forcibly opened the backpack, took out a bamboo tube from it, and handed it to Yudi, "Help me get some water to drink, I'm dying of thirst." ”
Raindrop took the empty bamboo tube, got up and ran towards the river with an "oh" sound.
Bai Yutong hugged his curled knees, his chin rested on his knees, and his eyes were full of loneliness and tiredness.
In his heart, Joanna belongs to a strong woman like Wu Zetian, who dominates the world all her life, Yudi belongs to the kind of positive lifeist who pursues the ultimate meaning of life all her life, and he is a loser (loser), a coward who can only jump off a building.
His unpoetic life should have ended in a bad way, like continuing to throw a basket of moldy banana peels into a stinky garbage can.
But just at the point where it should have ended, a sequel suddenly spawned - the reborn me is called Bai Yutong. It looked like a flashlight that was about to go out was struck by lightning, and it emitted a brilliant light that blinded the eyes of everyone watching the excitement.
Bai Yutong was decadent for a while, shook his head, and looked at the raindrops bent over the river to go up to the water, with indescribable loneliness and melancholy in his eyes.
He couldn't help but think of the conjecture that 'the moon in the sea is the moon in the sky, and the person in front of him is the sweetheart'.
What a romantic poem! How much emotion does it take to condense such a heart.
Bai Yutong couldn't help but think of the poem he secretly copied from his junior high school classmates:
The south of the Yangtze River flows eastward, swinging, and looking westward;
If you are not a wife in the future, the leaves will help the waves.
This poem comes from Zhao Lintan's self-written novel "You Don't Know the Long Flowing Water", he admires Zhao Lintan's literary brilliance a little, although he doesn't understand what the poem he made up means, but rhyme is not enough? Forced explanation is the most fatal.
Raindrop handed the bamboo tube to Bai Yutong, and then leaned next to him, like a virtuous helper. Bai Yutong held the bamboo tube and poured a few mouthfuls of water into his mouth, and the leaking water spilled down his chin to his pants and on the muddy ground under his feet.
Bai Yutong thought, he looked contentedly at the sky in the distance, where there were a few faint puffs of smoke.
"We're almost there!"
"How do you know?"
"Do you see those smokes? Where there is smoke, there are people, that's why I found your house in the first place......" Bai Yutong pointed in the direction of the lower reaches of the river, and the gray smoke rose from below, from fine to thick, from thick to light, and finally dissipated in the high clouds.
"I see!" Raindrop suddenly realized, "Then let's go!"
