Chapter 4 Man falls into a net like a flying worm

After work, Xiao Min left the company like a sleepwalker.

Today he is not there. I thought he would be back today after a few days of meetings. Later, she learned that he went on vacation directly after the meeting, and the whole family enjoyed the joy of family surrounded by sunshine, beach, green trees, and blue sky.

Every time before leaving for a while, he would come to see her, and he would look at her with a long and melancholy gaze, wanting to carve him into her heart, so that she would always think of him without him, and wait for him to come back. She understood, and she waited for him to come back. But when she dreams back in the middle of the night, she still cries and asks herself how long she will have to wait. This time, he didn't even have time to say goodbye to her.

She didn't dare to go home, she wasn't afraid to be alone, but not today, she knew that when the pain hit, she wouldn't be able to bear it.

She walked down the street in despair, not knowing where she was going. Why? She muttered, "Do you really love me?" If so, how can you bear to let me suffer such pain and pain? If you love me, why don't you get a divorce? If you refuse to divorce, why are you pestering me so much?

The twilight was deep, and the street lights were on, casting patches of bleak light on the road.

Xiao Min looked up in a trance, "I've come here," she muttered to herself dreamily. Here's a fortune teller. She had wandered in front of the door a few times, but finally timidly walked away. "Today, I won't run away again."

She knocked lightly on the door, and then saw a bald middle-aged man appear at the door, it was Master Li on the business card. She whispered, "Hello Master Li, I'm here to tell your fortune." ”

Master Li looked at her in surprise for a long time before saying, "Please come in." ”

In the middle of the living room is a large table. There are several decks of cards on it. She sat down quietly at the table.

Master Li sat across from her and said, "One hundred yuan." ”

She opened her purse and handed over two bills.

He pulled out a deck of cards and fiddled with them as he stole another look at her. She looks very young, very serious, has a mysterious and solemn beauty. Moreover, she was spotlessly clean, her long hair was jet black, her complexion was snow-white, and endless sadness gathered between her delicate eyebrows.

He laid out the cards and handed her another stack for her to choose a few.

She seemed a little nervous, thought for a moment, and began to choose carefully. You can see that she is picking cards on certain digits. Obviously, she had a lot on her mind.

He opened the cards one by one and said, "Your studies and future look good, but you are too serious, you should relax in everything, don't think too much, and go with the flow." ”

She looked at him calmly, without any expression.

There was still one last stack of cards left, and he looked at her and asked, "Why did you come to see me today?" ”

She said quickly, "I want to marry someone." ”

He said "oh", turned back to get a pen and paper, and said to her, "Please write down your birthday with him." ”

She finished writing and handed it to him.

He glanced at her, then at her, "Didn't make a mistake?" ”

She shook her head.

The man was fourteen years older than her.

He saw the determination on her face and understood everything. He stopped talking, but opened the last stack of cards, looked at it, and said, "Miss, it's a pity that you and this man will be fruitless, and there are too many problems in between." ”

Her voice trembled, "What's the problem?" ”

Master Li spread his hands, "The card will not be so detailed, but the result is clear, there are too many problems, he is not yours." ”

His last words stung her, "Why?" She asked.

He looked at the desperate woman and said, "I don't want to upset you, but this is the bottom of the card, and I can't lie." If you listen to my advice, you should break off contact with him early, or maintain a normal relationship, any relationship is fine, but you can't be boyfriend and girlfriend. ”

Her face turned even paler, "Since you have such power, can you help me?" ”

He shook his head flatly, "I can't do it." Other fortune tellers may say they can help you, let you buy this, buy that, do this, do that, I'm not that kind of person, I won't tell you that. ”

She stared at him, "Is there really no hope?" ”

He shook his head and sighed, "No." ”

She asked, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" ”

"I hope I'm wrong, but there's no hope for this card," he said. ”

She couldn't accept it: "Are you sure you can't help me at all?" ”

He smiled wryly: "I can't help it. ”

She stayed there.

He asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask me?" ”

As if the end had come, she muttered, "What more can you tell me?" ”

He shook his head, "That's all." ”

She asked, "Is he a bad guy?" ”

"No, he's not a bad guy, he just has too many problems," he said. ”

Seeing the pain in her eyes, he suddenly couldn't bear it, and said: "I will also make mistakes, I have also made many mistakes, and besides, I can only count this year's things, and I can't calculate the future things, maybe everything will be different next year." ”

She still sat there, motionless.

Master Li looked at Zhong and then at her uneasily, suggesting that her time was up and that it was time for her to go.

She suddenly covered her face with her hands. Master Li was stunned by her reaction and looked at her helplessly. She had wept bitterly. He pulled out a few facial tissues and handed them to her, unable to think of the right words, but said over and over again: "Miss, be strong, be strong." ”

She whimpered, "If you have the strength to see the future, why can't you help me?" ”

He said helplessly: "I don't have such great strength, besides, didn't I say it, I can only count it this year, maybe everything will be different next year." ”

She sobbed and said, "Should I wait? ”

His hand rested on his forehead, "Don't wait, it's really hopeless." ”

Her heart was like a knife, and she cried like a pear blossom with rain, "I don't want to live anymore." "Really, the days are too bitter and bitter, if there is still endless suffering ahead, then she really doesn't want to live anymore.

Master Li hurriedly persuaded her, "Miss, don't be like this, you are so young, and the card also said that you will have a very good future in the future." Be friends with him, any friend, just don't be his girlfriend. ”

She wept in despair, unable to say a word.

Master Li sat with her dejectedly down. In the end, he felt that he was going to be broken down by her crying, so he had to give an eviction order, "Miss, it's not too early, you still have to go home." Please don't cry, because if someone sees or hears it, they will think something is wrong with me. ”

After a while, she barely calmed down and took her leave.

Walking down the street, the night breeze blew coldly on her face. Uncontrollably, she burst into tears again, crying as she walked aimlessly down the street. As the night darkened, there were few pedestrians on the streets, only cars speeding by. The red light turned green, and a car started to drive away, leaving this song in the air: "Looking back at this life, people are like flying insects falling into the net, and the bitterness of hatred must be endured." She heard it, stayed there, tears and long hair flying in the wind. Yes, she is like a little flying insect, I don't know when she crashes into a web with no end in sight, tossing and turning, unable to escape, afraid and painful, bit by bit, bearing alone.

Despair stung her heart, and she completely forgot about her fears, only feeling weak enough to faint at any moment, or be hit and run over by a speeding car.

After walking for some time, she found herself in a parking lot. She looked around blankly, feeling that she could no longer hold on. Sitting down on the low railing by the parking lot, she shivered and buried her face in her hands. Why, if I was two people who were not related to him, then God, who is he? Why did you let me meet him, why did you send him to me again and again? What is your purpose in this arrangement? What did I do wrong, why punish me so much?

She sat like this, feeling empty and groggy.

Suddenly, faintly, the words "that Hongming" flashed through her mind. She struggled to sober herself up. That Hongming, yes, yes, God punished her for this, right? Was it because she chose to ignore him? She always knew that Hongming was looking for her. Although when she first saw that video, she was like five thunderbolts, and she thought she was crazy. She still remembered his name, and remembered that day, the big boy with unkempt hair and dark skin said to her in a hoarse voice: "My name is that Hongming, what about you?" Beads of sweat were shining on his forehead. Twenty years later, he turned out to be the owner of the famous Qiming Enterprise, and he didn't expect that he had always wanted to find himself, and it turned out that he was the same as her, a stubborn infatuated person. It's just that providence is so tricky, he has been looking for her for more than ten years, and she is obsessed with another man like an addict who loves drugs. She laughed miserably, how did that sentence come about? We don't love those who love us, those we love don't love us, and those who love one another will sooner or later be separated. "I'm sorry, that Hongming," she said silently, "I will write to you and tell you that I am fine, please don't remember me again, I have always been grateful to you in my heart, and I will be the same in the future." ”
