Chapter 9: Time has carved too many knives
At five o'clock the next morning, Li Jiawen woke up, and when he opened the door, he found that Xu Miyang was already washing, which made him a little moved, after all, Xu Miyang was a girl, but she did her best for him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But Xu Miyang opened his mouth and asked, "Seeing that you look very bad, how much paper did you use last night?" ”
Li Jiawen was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Miyang to be so dirty, and hurriedly said, "No...... No. ”
Xu Miyang said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have a lot of paper, it doesn't matter if I run out, I can still buy it." ”
Li Jiawen looked away in embarrassment, but he didn't know that Xu Miyang was deliberately teasing him, in order to divert his attention and relax the tight string in his mind.
The two simply ate some bread and milk, and then drove on the road, which took only 30 minutes from the city to Li Jiawen's home.
Looking at the more and more familiar scenery, Li Jiawen's heart became heavier and heavier, and there was no joy of returning from a long absence, only panic when he didn't dare to approach.
Xu Miyang glanced at Li Jiawen and found that his face was pale and he was sweating profusely, Li Jiawen at this time was a child who did something wrong and didn't dare to go home, just like when she was a child, she would hide in the closet and use a flashlight to read psychology, which was unacceptable, but it was natural.
"Actually, you're pretty good-looking, you look clean, and you must have slept with a lot of little girls when you were in school." Xu Miyang said.
Li Jiawen kept rubbing his hands, he smiled reluctantly, and said, "No, I don't dare." ”
"Don't dare? Why, do you think your right hand is better than a girl's? Xu Miyang teased.
Li Jiawen hurriedly shook his head: "My family is poor, my parents told me to be honest outside, if I harm other girls, the conditions in my family will be scolded by the girl's parents." ”
"What's there to scold, just take safety measures, what era is this, you won't have a girlfriend without a girlfriend, right?"
Li Jiawen lowered his head.
"I've handed over one."
"Oh, really?" Xu Miyang became interested: "How does she look, do you still have a photo of her?" ”
"Nope." Li Jiawen lied, and the wallpaper on his phone was Song Sha'er: "She is very beautiful, like a rose with thorns, proud and powerful." ”
"What about me, what do you think of me?" Xu Miyang asked with interest.
Li Jiawen glanced at Xu Miyang, then he shifted his gaze to look at the rapidly regressing houses and people outside the window, and said, "You are just Xu Miyang." ”
Xu Miyang was stunned, and then the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned high.
"Interesting."
At this time, Li Jiawen had fallen into memories, he no longer sweated, his face was much better, Xu Miyang stopped talking, and drove the car with peace of mind.
I don't know what Li Jiawen thought of along the way, he rarely calmed down, but soon, the destination was getting closer and closer, Li Jiawen came back to his senses from his memories and began to become nervous again.
It was a very ordinary small bungalow, no tiles, no white, just a cement house, the door was an iron door with paint off, it had rusted, and there was a crack between the two doors, it should be a broken lock, and from the crack you could see a wooden board used to support the door, such a gate, if someone else had the heart to rush in, it would not stop anyone at all.
Li Jiawen shrunk and stayed in the car, he didn't dare to get out of the car, nor did he dare to open the car door, just looked sadly at the poor home, the home that belonged to him.
Xu Miyang got out of the car and looked around, then returned to the car.
Because it was still early and it was winter, everyone in the village was still sleeping, but Li Jiawen's parents were going to work on the pig farm, so they woke up early, and when they opened the iron door, Li Jiawen's heart was broken.
In these short three years, they have aged dramatically, their temples are full of gray hair, they are slightly hunched when they walk, those two simple and mellow faces are full of wrinkles, time is too merciless, and too many knives have been carved into their faces.
Li Jiawen couldn't hold back from crying, he curled up in his chair, shivering.
Xu Miyang sighed in her heart, she didn't bother Li Jiawen, she just looked at him quietly.
Li Jiawen's parents saw the Auditt parked not far away at a glance, they didn't care at first, after all, this place is very close to Longhu Mountain, and it is also a village with beautiful mountains and rivers, so there are endless vehicles coming and going, and it is not strange that there is a car parked on the side of the road.
But after Li Jiawen's mother finished cooking, she found that the car had not left yet, and the cement road at the door was only a road more than two meters wide, and she could only barely let the two cars drive side by side, so under normal circumstances, the roadside would not be parked for a long time, and it would be parked in the open space at the entrance of the villager's house.
"Kid, dad, go and ask what's going on with that car, why has it been parked there and won't leave?"
"You don't care what he does, people drive such good cars, how can we mess with them, maybe they're here to play, let them go."
"But he blocked half of the road, it's not a problem, you asked him to drive to the open space in front of our house, now it's almost the New Year, there are many cars coming and going, and he is prone to accidents on the road."
"As far as you have a lot of things to do, you can't worry about your own affairs, and you are worried about others." Li Jiawen's father reluctantly walked over to the Auditt.
"Let's go, let's go!" Li Jiawen was startled and hurriedly urged Xu Miyang to drive.
The purpose of Xu Miyang's trip is to let Li Jiawen see his parents, as for the fact that the collector Liu Qiang will come to harm his parents, Xu Miyang doesn't believe it, since she has already met, so she doesn't stay, just start the car and leave.
Li Jiawen's mother looked at the car and immediately said: "Look, as soon as you passed, they ran away, and they didn't look like a serious person." ”
The car stopped at the corner two hundred meters away, and although Xu Miyang wanted to leave directly, he still asked, "What now?" ”
Li Jiawen said: "They will go to the pig farm later, but Liu Qiang and they don't know that they work on the pig farm, so we will go back in ten minutes, I know Liu Qiang's car, as long as Liu Qiang appears, we will call the police." ”
At this time, Li Jiawen was very depressed, and Xu Miyang could only follow him, so ten minutes later, he returned to the door of Li Jiawen's house and found that Li Jiawen's parents had locked the door with chains and went out to work.
In order not to attract the attention of others, Li Jiawen asked Xu Miyang to get out of the car, went to the shop diagonally opposite to change coins, and played slot machines there, otherwise a strange car parked in the village for so long would definitely attract attention, this is not a city after all, almost everyone in the small village knows each other, and the most sensitive is outsiders.
The people in the small shop saw Xu Miyang such a beautiful strange girl playing slot machines there, and naturally asked her where she came from, Xu Miyang said that she was here for a tour, and she was too tired to drive so she played here for a while.
This play, just a full day of play, the owner of the shop is a person who came over, knowing that this little girl is addicted to playing slot machines.
After Li Jiawen saw his parents coming back from work, he immediately called Xu Miyang, Xu Miyang loaded his pocket full of coins, drove the car away temporarily, and then waited until it was completely dark, and then drove back to Li Jiawen's house not far away.
"Look, I've won so much." Xu Miyang took out the coins in her pocket, her face was full of pride, she didn't feel tired of it all day, just like Li Jiawen when she was a child, she could stand in front of the slot machine and watch others play for a day, let alone play by herself.
"You can exchange coins for paper money, and it's heavy to fit in a pocket."
"How can you exchange it for paper money? It's not interesting to change it to paper money, okay, only this heaviness makes people feel happy, and this is the fruit of victory. "Xu Miyang has never played slot machines before, and slot machines have been all the rage, for a reason, and its unique charm makes some people unable to extricate themselves, and it is not surprising that Xu Miyang has become one of them.
The two watched in the car for a few more hours, Xu Miyang looked at his phone, it was already past eleven o'clock, and everyone in the village was asleep.
Li Jiawen said: "Wait, I'm very uneasy, if they don't come tonight, it means that I really have auditory hallucinations, and then you can diagnose me as mentally ill." ”
Xu Miyang looked at Li Jiawen and found that Li Jiawen had a kind of relief on his face, maybe it was much easier to accept that he had become a psychopath than to accept that someone was going to harm his parents.
"Don't be so pessimistic, it's a good thing that they don't come, you just have the illusion of persecution because you are overly worried about your parents, this may be just a temporary auditory hallucination, it doesn't mean that you are mentally ill."
Li Jiawen smiled bitterly: "You don't have to comfort me anymore, I know you're helping me, but I'm really sick, the moment I saw my parents, I knew that I was very sick, so you don't need to deliberately avoid those words that will hurt people, I can bear it." ”
Xu Miyang sighed, they were guarding outside the door until more than two o'clock in the morning, Li Jiawen looked at Xu Miyang, who had been dozing off, woke her up, and said, "Let's go." ”
If Liu Qiang really came, he would never have done it now, and only Xu Miyang would accompany Li Jiawen here, if it was someone else, he would definitely call Li Jiawen directly and send him to a mental hospital.
"We've been guarding it for so long, so let's keep it until dawn." Xu Miyang forcibly cheered up, she took a sip of water to sober her mind, opened the window and said with the night breeze: "The air in the countryside is so good, it smells sweet." ”
Li Jiawen smiled, and then talked to Xu Miyang about his childhood, catching frogs, digging birds' eggs, catching rabbits, and climbing mountains.
"Now you can go." Xu Miyang started the car, and the room that was very familiar in his memory slowly turned into a frozen landscape, Li Jiawen opened the window self-deprecatingly, no longer afraid that someone would recognize him.
Recognize it, recognize it, anyway, I'm just a madman, from now on, I will never believe in any immortals, failure will fail, grit my teeth, maybe I can get through it.
