Ye Shanlan is immersed in the sad atmosphere created by the erhu music, which is not the sadness of the sad spring and autumn, red tears and blue love of infatuated men and women, but the heavier historical sadness of the impermanence of the world and the unpredictable rise and fall.

Suddenly interrupted by the old man's voice, Ye Shanlan was in a trance for a moment before she came back to her senses, and she asked, "Old man, what did you say?" Sorry, I just got distracted. ”

The old man said in a hoarse voice, "You don't belong here, get out of here." ”

Ye Shanlan smiled and said, "Why should I leave, I just came here, and I plan to settle down for a while." ”

The old man's withered hands grasped the erhu tightly, his knuckles protruded, his skin was dry and black and thin, just like the locust tree he was leaning on, seeing that such a girl in front of him did not listen to persuasion, the old man's tone was a little high-pitched, and said: "You don't belong here, leave quickly!" ”

Seeing that the old man would only say this sentence over and over again, Ye Shanlan frowned slightly and asked: "You don't want me to stay here, there must be a reason, this is a place I finally found, if you can't say a word, I'll move out, take a step back and say, even if I want to move out, I have to have a place to live, where will I live if I leave here?" ”

The old man wanted to stand up, but he tried several times without success, he looked at Ye Shanlan, used all his strength, and even burst out of his neck like a dragon, and said, "You don't belong here, leave quickly!" Get out of here! ”

"Ah......" Hayama Lan stood up, took two steps back, and said, "Thank you, I still have some things, I'm sorry." With that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

It was a pity that Ye Shan Lan slowed down when he walked out of this street, I thought I had met a real artist, and I was going to talk a little more, but it turned out to be a ...... Alas, it's a pity.

After Ye Shanlan walked away, the old man sighed, and the figure slowly dissipated. After a while, Xu Bing walked over, holding a whip in her hand, with a frosty face, she walked to the bridge, took a deep breath, raised the whip and whipped at the locust tree, scolding while pumping back: "Let you be nosy, let you be nosy......" The old locust tree was torn by the bark of the pump, and black and red blood oozed from the wound.

Gu Huai trembled in pain, and he looked at a pair of distant eyes with cloudy eyes.

(In this episode, Hayama Lan made a mistake that could well have caused her mission to fail, but luckily, Xu Bing didn't notice it.) ）

After this incident, Ye Shanlan was not interested in continuing to play, she went to the wholesale market in the town to buy some daily necessities according to Xu Bing's introduction before, the largest piece was a set of bedding, fortunately, although the thing was big, but it was not very heavy, after taking a taxi downstairs, Ye Shanlan himself carried back a lot of things.

When Ye Shanlan came back, it was already past two o'clock, and it was the hottest time, and when she walked to the door, she was already sweating profusely, and she couldn't say how tired she was, but it was really hot. This kind of weather is really not suitable for exercise, and if you move a little, you will be covered with sweat, Ye Shanlan wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, and took out the key to open the door while complaining.

The moment she walked into this door, Ye Shanlan shuddered, and her body was covered in white sweat, and she stood there, motionless.

It was raining yesterday, and it was already dark when she came, and it was already cold outside, and it was that kind of wet cold, so she didn't feel anything unusual. But today, the hot sun was hanging in the air, and she had just "exercised", and a large amount of yang energy had accumulated in her body and outside her body...... It's like walking into an old burial chamber.

Or rather, it's a burial chamber.

After a long time, Ye Shanlan hooked the corners of her mouth, smiled, turned around and dragged the futon she bought, and walked into the room.

When she walked to the couch, she hesitated, put back her already raised foot, looked at the scarlet stall, changed directions, and walked around the couch into her bedroom.

Ye Shanlan put away the futon on the bed, put it in the cabinet, spread the newly bought one, tossed for more than two hours to clean it up, took a shower, squeezed a glass of juice for herself, and came back as soon as she sat down Xu Bing.

Ye Shanlan raised her cup and said, "You came back just in time, there is freshly made apple juice here, do you want to have a cup?" ”

Xu Bing threw the bag on the ground, threw himself down on the sofa, and said weakly: "Okay, bring me a drink." ”

Ye Shanlan went to the kitchen and poured the rest into a cup, put it on the coffee table, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Bing drank half of the juice in one go, and said, "Toss, I didn't find a job after tossing all day." ”

"Oh, that's right." Ye Shanlan said, "What kind of job are you going to look for?" ”

Xu Bing put the cup heavily on the coffee table, and the crisp knocking sound between the glass and the glass startled Ye Shanlan, and the coffee table seemed to be broken by her. She said, "Shanlan, you know what? I studied music, and I studied Western music, what do you think I can do when I go back to such an ancient town? ”

Ye Shanlan asked suspiciously: "Then why do you want to come back, your major is indeed easier to employ in a big city." ”

"Not my dad yet." Xu Bing said with some hatred, "He insisted on letting me come back, saying that he wanted to inherit the ancestral business of the family, the ancestral business?" What the hell! ”

Ye Shanlan said: "Is it really your father who asked you to come back?" After speaking, he smiled meaningfully.

Xu Bing said with some annoyance: "Why not? What do you mean?! "Teeth and claws, like an enraged kitten.

Ye Shanlan said softly but firmly: "I mean, after graduating from college, you will be an adult after all, if you don't want to come back, can your father really pull you back?" ”

Xu Bing glared at Ye Shanlan angrily, Ye Shanlan looked at her with a smile, the two were deadlocked for a while, and finally, Xu Bing avoided his gaze and said dejectedly: "You are right, the reason why I came back, in addition to the reasons at home, also has my own reasons, I am afraid." ”

"Scared?" Ye Shan Lan said, "What are you afraid of? ”

Xu Bing looked into the distance through the window, and said, "Shanlan, do you know? I grew up here, I didn't even leave this town before going to college, going to college is a completely different life experience for me, there are so many tall buildings, there are a lot of cars, there are so many fun places at night, those four years are my happiest time, I hid in the campus, through the transparent window watching, listening, enjoying the bustle and excitement outside. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Bing retracted his gaze, looked at Ye Shanlan and said: "But I'm not a simple girl who doesn't know anything, I know that behind the prosperity of the big city is the bitterness and pain of countless people, and that layer of sadness and pain is blocked by the transparent window of the university, and I also know that when I graduate, the window will disappear, so I am afraid, I am afraid that before I enjoy the prosperity of the big city, I have been crushed by the bitterness and pain." ”

Ye Shanlan looked at Xu Bing's eyes that had been fogged out, sighed and said: "Xiaoice, I have a classmate, also born in a small place, came to the university alone, when she graduated, she chose to stay there, a city full of 'magic', I asked her, 'Why do you want to stay there?' She said, 'It's a bustling place, there's an Apple flagship store, there's a lot of shopping malls, there's a cultural industry, you can hear a lot of celebrity concerts, you can see the latest movies, you can even see operas and dramas.' I said, 'But you know, if you want to survive there, you have to work hard, and it doesn't matter how prosperous it is, you don't have that time, and besides, you're really willing to spend thousands of dollars to go to a concert, you know, that's your living expenses for a few months.' She didn't speak, and after a long time she said, 'Even if I can't enjoy it for a while, I believe that life will get better and better, and one day, when I have money and leisure, I will be able to enjoy it.' I said, 'You know very well in your own heart that the so-called one day is probably a few years, more than ten years later, and the golden stage of girls is just a few years, you have to get married, you have to have children, you have to pay off the mortgage that can crush people to death, and that day will probably never come.' She said, 'Even then, that day would be my dream.' I said, 'That's an unrealistic, never-attainable ideal.' She smiled, looked at me and said, 'If I don't even have the right to touch my ideals with my eyes, I won't be able to stand it.' ’”

If I don't even have the right to touch my ideals with my eyes, I won't be able to stand it, hearing this, tears flowed down Xu Bing's eyes, and she choked up and said: "Shanlan, why is this, why are so many people born in a big city, but I was born in such a family, why I have the ideals of my life as soon as they were born, but I can't even touch my ideals with my eyes." ”

Ye Shanlan shook her head and didn't speak, just hugged Xu Bing in her arms and patted her back gently.

Xu Bing lay on Ye Shanlan's shoulder, and red blood and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, soaking her clothes.
