Chapter 44: Finding Another Self
Marriage is a castle, some people taste freshness and harvest treasures in this castle, some people are lost, some struggle, and some people flee in embarrassment, and I am the one who flees in embarrassment.
Walking out of the airport, in the blue sky and white clouds, I saw the plane soaring into the sky, and the huge roar completely disappeared from my sight with the breakdown and calm of our marriage.
After staring at the sky for a long time, I thought I could breathe fresh air, but I was full of bitterness and loss.
Han Feng patted me on the shoulder and comforted, "Zhang Yixi, your new life is here, be in good spirits...... Everyone will stay with you at night! ”
Everyone echoed and said, "Then how can we go crazy at night, how do we play, play with him all night, and squander the last bit of youth." ”
I rejected everyone's kindness and just said, "You guys play, I want to be quiet." ”
.......
On the night back in Nantong, I locked myself in my house and didn't want to go anywhere, only in my own room, and I couldn't help but ask myself: why did I come to this point, what was wrong? I had to do a deep reflection, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save myself.
In the dark, I meditated, but I couldn't reflect on a result, because everything that happened was not my will, and I just passively accepted it again and again, but I was powerless to change.
How should I face my life in the future, and still be like I used to, panic to find my next wife in order to have someone to take care of Pippi?
No, the results of me and Chen Qingyi prove that a marriage without love will eventually break up.
In my helplessness, I remembered the Taoist chief, and remembered the life he once gave me, he said that I had too many food injuries in my life, so I was deeply in love and couldn't extricate myself! I suddenly wanted to talk to him, hoping that he could guide me through the maze.
......
Now the Taoist rarely sets up a stall in Furubashi, and it is difficult to meet him without good luck, but I still have a fluke, and my intuition tells me that he will definitely be there.
I drove to Guqiao, but I was disappointed, the Taoist chief was as usual, he really rarely came to Guqiao, and in the past six months, I almost never met him again.
Before the night was too late, I went to the newsstand to buy a pack of cigarettes, sat by the river, did not want to go anywhere, and forgot to give some change to the beggars on the old bridge, for I was not even as good as them at the moment, and my spirit was suffering from endless suffering.
........
I sat for a moment without a clue, and suddenly there were raindrops falling on my face, I smiled helplessly, this rain seems to come in a different time, if it is at noon when I leave at the airport, at least it can render my bad mood.
I lay flat on the grass and let the rain rain take place, and a woman once told me that the rain would wash everything away and start over, and that it would be nice if it were true.
I closed my eyes and threw the cigarette into the river, in fact, I didn't like my miserable smoking.
The rain that kept pouring suddenly stopped, and then I heard the "click" sound of the rain drops falling on the umbrella, and when I opened my eyes, Mo Han stood in the rain to help me hold the umbrella.
"You're here?"
Mo Han nodded.
I sat up from the grass and reached for the cigarette case from my pocket, only to find that the cigarette had already been wet from the rain, and although I didn't like to smoke to relieve my boredom, it didn't mean that I didn't need a cigarette, so I threw the wet cigarette case into the river in frustration.
"I'll buy it for you." Mo Han looked at me and said calmly.
"I bear with it, no need!"
"There are some things you don't have to put up with, like smoking." Mo Han said to me meaningfully, and then handed me the umbrella in his hand.
"You hold the umbrella." I shouted to Mo Han, who was walking up the river.
"You need this umbrella now more than I do."
.......
A moment later, Mo Han bought a cigarette, her coat and hair were already wet from the rain, and within a few minutes of her departure, the rain was much heavier.
"Give you cigarettes." Mo Han took the cigarette out of his coat pocket and handed it to me.
"Thank you."
I took the cigarette from Mo Han's hand, took out one and wanted to light it, but found that the lighter was also too rainy to ignite, and I was destined to fail to smoke this cigarette.
"I'll buy it." Mo Han only said three words, but she showed her determination to let me smoke.
"Not really!" I grabbed her.
"If you want, why be patient?" Mo Han asked as if his eyes were about to pierce my body.
Under Mo Han's aggressive gaze, my soul seemed to be spurred, and not to mention the cigarette smoking in front of me, my whole life has been endured, and I have long lived without desire.
Mo Han didn't pay any attention to me, and got up again and walked to the riverside, at this moment she insisted on making me feel strange and incomprehensible, maybe I haven't understood it yet!
......
After a few more moments, Mohan returned to me, and she took a lighter from her pocket and handed it to me in almost the same motions as before.
"Light it for me, okay?" I stared at Mo Han for a long time and said.
Mo Han nodded, she lit the lighter, and I leaned over with a cigarette in my mouth, and I tasted the tobacco again.
I took a deep breath of smoke and exhaled it heavily, the smoke that filled me, the sound of "ticking" rain, I seemed to see everything lightly, and my mind was temporarily liberated, but I knew that this quiet comfort was only temporary.
When I was about to finish a cigarette, I said to Mo Han, who had been quiet: "I'm divorced, and my life has been a little bleak recently!" ”
"I know."
I nodded and asked, "Do you have a feeling that you are also a fallen person?" ”
"No, the nature of our divorce is not the same."
"Why did you get divorced?"
Mo Han held her legs in both hands, a sign of insecurity, and she said to me for a long time, "Betrayal. ”
"Betrayal? He betrayed you? I asked incredulously, in my subconscious, it was impossible for a woman like Mo Han to be betrayed.
"He betrayed me." Mo Han's voice was very soft, but she could hear that she did not let go of the betrayal at all.
I stared at Mo Han for a long time, but I still didn't dare to imagine, what kind of man would choose to betray Mo Han, could it be that he was the star monarch in the sky?
.......
The rain fell heavier, and this small umbrella could no longer cover the rain that was splashing diagonally, and Mo Han's clothes and I were all wet with the rain, and this was not a place to stay for a long time.
"I'll take you home!" I said to Mo Han.
"No need....... I'm going to get out of here. ”
"Leave! Where are you going? ”
"Far away."
"What about that coffee shop, don't you take care of it?"
"Tian Tian will take care of it very well, even if I am here, I can't help much." Mo Han said.
After a moment of silence I said, "Then I wish you a good journey." ”
........
Mo Han and I said goodbye in the rain, and she left the umbrella for me, insisting that I needed it more than she did, even though my car was right next to me, and as long as I got in, there would be no rain for me!
"I will stay in the coffee shop with the room card and key, and you will go to Tian Tian to get it when the time comes."
"Will you leave tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Why do you suddenly have to travel far away?"
Mo Han was silent for a long time and said, "Go find another self." ”
I nodded and said, "I envy you, you can travel at any time, in fact, you will feel a lot on the way to travel, and complete the transformation of life...... I wish you success and hope to see a different you next time we meet, at least smile often! ”
