Chapter 148: She's from This Bay
Li Shi looked at the small quilt on her body, and did not accept my kindness, she put the quilt on her body back on my body, and the cold wind on the sea whistled from our side, she took off the quilt and subconsciously tightened her clothes, I was worried that she would catch a cold, and hurriedly put the quilt on her body.
Li Shi finally stopped refusing, looked at the blurry sea in the distance and said to me: "Those glowing blue tears make up for all my shortcomings in this bay......"
I looked at her in shock, as if I realized something.
At this time, she continued to speak: "Actually, this island is not what we see today, surrounded by blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by glowing seawater, I remember that one morning when I woke up, the strong wind outside the house blew the doors and windows as loud, I put on my slippers, got up and opened the curtains, and saw that there was a blur outside, the wind whistled through the crack in the door, and it was cold, I opened the door alone, squinted and poked out my head, and saw that the hall was locked, the door was closed, the lights were dark, the weather was bad, the wind and waves were strong, The ship has also stopped sailing, people from the outer islands can't come in, and people from the main island can't leave, and I think loneliness is my best friend in childhood......"
"You lived here as a child?" I asked cautiously tentatively.
Li Shi's complicated expression told me that she seemed to have a thousand words, but in the end, with a hint of gloom, she smiled at me and said, "Can you listen to me finish my memories?" ”
"Good!"
"What impressed me the most was the rain and fog, which lasted for several days, and I understood why the island was also called Kirishima. In short, in the days when it was windy and rainy, and the ships were suspended, the island was immersed in a mysterious fog day and night, and the inns and homestays on the island were also closed and looked drowsy. It's the other side of the island, and it seems to be the other side of her slightly emotional. Of course, when I grow up and come here again, I will walk into the only coffee shop on the island with my computer in my arms, and sit there for an afternoon, in fact, I am really rare to be so idle, I remember that it was raining heavily, and there was no business in the store, I pushed open the door and said to the boss who has been here all year round: Boss, let's have a latte. ”
After Li Shi finished speaking, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her expression was full of loss and pain, as if the soul had suddenly been stripped from her body.
"I didn't expect you to have so many stories on this island, no wonder you can run so far by yourself today."
After saying that, I just glanced at her, then shifted my gaze again, still looking at the place where the moon and the clouds merged, and Li Shi rarely said to me in a calm tone: "Yu Hang, where is your most impressive place?" ”
I was a little surprised: "Since you want to talk about work so much, then I will tell you that it is a small village on the Sichuan-Tibet line." ”
"I'd like to hear from you."
As she spoke, she threw me a pack of unopened cigarettes from her bag, I opened the cigarette case and pulled one out of it, Li Shi took out a lighter from the bag and handed the fire to me, I lit the cigarette several times in hiding from the wind, but did not immediately put it in my mouth to smoke, but pinched it with my index finger and thumb and turned around.
Li Shi turned her back, didn't look at the glitz under the moonlight, looked at my side face and said, "A cigarette is a memory, the cigarette is not for you to smoke for nothing." ”
I finally put the cigarette in my mouth and took a puff, and said in a reminiscent tone: "The most beautiful village on the Sichuan-Tibet line is called Laou Village, about 25 kilometers away from Mangkang County, there is a valley plain, there are many scattered villages here, there are not many houses but there are many village names, the year before last in the company's planned tour guide, I was transferred to the longest line of Tibet to work, all the way down from Lhasa, this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen on the 318 National Highway, is this village." There is no commercialization and noise here as Nyingchi, Lulang, Bomi, Bangda, and Zuogong, and I don't even see a small shop, I think it may be God's preference for me, so that I can encounter a bit of seclusion here. ”
Tears suddenly fell from Li Shi's face, and she raised her voice in a choked voice and said, "It's a good day there, can you tell me about it?" ”
I was stunned, and then a feeling of indescribable emotion rose in my heart, and after a long time I replied: "The villagers are chatting in the sunset, or driving sheep, or riding unhurriedly to their homes; Children will play games or play with toys under the trees in front of the house and behind the house, all of which reminds me of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring, and I think it must be a Canaan land that many people yearn for. Although the Hengduan Mountain section of National Highway 318 is only about 1,000 kilometers, it is only a fraction of our total trip, but it is indeed a very magical land, the landscape, climate, geology, vegetation is ever-changing, and the scenery will be updated every few hours, and what I have seen and heard is still near the highway, and there must be a huge treasure trove waiting for us to explore and discover outside the highway. ”
Li Shi bit her lip, sighed softly with tears in her eyes, and said to me: "I brought you to my favorite place, will you take me to this Raou village to see?" ”
I looked at her and smiled...... There was suddenly an indescribable sadness in my heart: "If it weren't for the busy work, I really want to take you to that place again, you don't know that at half past five in the evening, the village has already risen with smoke, but this scene reminds me of the time when I was a child in my grandmother's hometown, every sunset, those blue brick houses by the golden ridges are also like this." As soon as my grandmother lit a fire in front of the earthen stove, the chimney on the roof began to spit out green smoke, and the moment the sun went down, they turned into pink bubbles and floated to the rice fields in the hills and valleys. Grandpa looked up in the field for the smell of firewood, looked in the direction of his home, took a small twig and gently slapped the buffalo's buttocks, and then raised his head and shouted......"
Li Shi suddenly let go of the arm around my neck, and she leaned quietly on my shoulder again, maybe because of alcohol, maybe because of exhaustion, in short, she was quiet at this moment.
At this time, she didn't say anything emotional, and said to me in a relaxed tone: "I'm sleepy, I slept ......"
I was surprised by tonight's conversation, in fact, these beautiful things have always been hidden in the depths of my inner memory, and I never dare to say it easily, because I don't want others to think that I am tired and miserable, including my parents!
The year before last was the rise of my career, and it was also the time when Meng Meng was sick and needed money the most, so I volunteered to run all over the country, and it was really a game of life at that time, because a few tourists squatted on the shore of Qinghai Lake with strong ultraviolet rays for an afternoon, tanned a circle, and waited for them to return in a sightseeing hot air balloon...... All the hardships such as squatting in the customer community from morning to noon in order to talk to a customer, being maliciously humiliated or moved by the tour guides of other tour groups, and being teased in turns when they are not familiar with the company's business......
All of this is still not a precious treasure today, but a deep memory, so I said it was a surprise that I exchanged this memory with Li Shi, on the night of her drunkenness.
In my tiredness, I seemed to see the "blue tears" extending a bright road, where the water was blue, the sky was also blue, the place where the water and the sky met recombined into a line, the sea water was like a pair of never-ending big hands, constantly propulsed, forming one wave after another, and finally slapping on a lonely island floating in the sea, although I couldn't see the isolated island clearly, it was so similar to the isolated island that disappeared in my heart......
Since I was a child, I have heard countless truths, but I still can't live this life, from now on, then go willfully with my heart! When you are tired, set up camp, or never look back, don't hesitate, too anxious to have no story, too slow to have no life.
……
The next day, when I was woken up by Li Shitui, the wind had stopped, I don't know if it was an illusion, the atmosphere was a little awkward, the memory of last night was like a thorny vine, obviously close in front of me, but untouchable.
When Li Shi was cleaning up, she unconsciously avoided my eyes, but she also put on the leader's style and said: "My head is blown up by the wind, so let's leave this ghost place first." ”
"Li Shi, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"What's the matter?"
"Last night's ......"
Li Shi pretended to look at me calmly and said, "I was drunk last night, and when the two of us woke up in the morning, we were each wrapped in quilts well, and nothing was a problem, so don't mention it again." ”
"You talked in your dreams last night."
"What did I say?"
"You said you liked me, you liked me very much."
"I think it's you who is dreaming!" Li Shi smiled, shrugged her shoulders again, and turned to walk outside the room.
In the face of Li Shi's sudden turn of face, it was similar to last night's gentle sensibility, but I was not in a hurry at all, I just smiled, in fact, I was quick to speak, she did talk in her dreams, but not to say this, because I didn't hear what she said clearly.
……
After returning to the hotel to clean up, Li Shi took a shower, dressed up carefully, and then sat under the parasol outside the hotel and drank coffee.
Compared with the nervousness of the previous two days, she seemed to have a little more leisure today, and I curiously stepped forward and asked, "I didn't see a customer yesterday, so forget it today?" Boss, we have exceeded the three-day business trip plan, and there are still a bunch of things to deal with in Xi'an! ”
Li Shi listened, glanced in my direction, smiled faintly, nodded and said: "You are heartbroken for the company's business, I have my own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
"Shall we talk about the customer today?"
"Let's talk, of course, I already contacted Zhang Manli last night, she will be here soon, and she will take your place with full authority."
"The team you led is really extraordinary, and it seems that the company's business level is improving faster than I expected."
Li Shi said, she turned her head to look in my direction, and then said, "No, it's coming." ”
I looked at Zhang Manli who came from a distance, with an excellent figure, straight breasts and round hips, very feminine, maybe she was one of the few powerful cadres in the group of people left by Lao Gou, so even if she came to Li Shi, she still had to rely on her.
Zhang Manli frowned slightly, and then asked with a smile, "Why is Mr. Li still at the door in person." ”
Li Shi smiled and said, "A big customer has come over, I hope you can take this business down." ”
Zhang Manli showed a gesture of happiness and not disgrace, as if she was out of the limelight, twisted her posture and said: "Mr. Li, wait a minute, I'll go make up for makeup, and I'll follow you immediately." ”
