It was another windy day, and Nishino sat quietly in front of the window alone, staring out the window.

It was extremely cold outside the window, and on the edge of the dirt flat playground, there stood a few tall and curvy maple trees, which had been accompanying Nishino for three full years of cold and summer.

A gust of wind blows from time to time, and the flaming red leaves fall from the branches, flying in the air with the wind, circling, like an old butterfly flapping its wings to the wind, dancing out of the last waltz of life, reluctantly leaving its mother.

"Oh, isn't this fallen leaf me?" At this time, Nishino thought of his mother, who was far away from home, alone. The frail and sickly mother still worked as before, guarding the dilapidated wooden house in the countryside, and soon became a young man, with a meager salary just to support herself, and she did not go home a few times a year. Thinking about it, Nishino couldn't help but feel a little moist in his eyes.

Suddenly, there were a few mournful geese chirping in the sky, and a flock of geese lined up in the sky in a capital letter, swept past the roof of the teaching building, and hurried towards the southern sky, without stopping for a moment.

Nishino was accustomed to sitting silently in front of the window, looking at the mountains in the distance to the south, looking at the yellow leaves falling outside the window, watching the birds playing outside the window, and watching the clouds in the sky.

Nishino was born in autumn, and he was born when the autumn leaves are at their deepest. So the father, who had been tortured in *, was so poetic that he gave him such a rather poetic name.

Nishino likes the red maple leaves in autumn, not only because of his innate fate with the maple leaves, but also because of the past events implicated in the maple leaves.

"The geese fly south, the geese fly south, the geese cry is heartbreaking...... In the distance, I don't know who came from a burst of melancholy and sad songs. The wind blew through the woods outside the school, whining, as if to speak, as if to cry.

It was quiet all around, and there was no figure to be found in the empty campus. Today is Friday, the students have already left school, and the other teachers have left the campus.

They are different from Nishino - Nishino knows that they both have their own happy and happy homes. Only he was lonely, even though he had a woman in his home with whom he could not speak for a week or two.

Yes, just a woman, a woman who has no opinion and obeys her mother. But to him, it is a woman who roars as a lion in Hedong, who only plays with a woman, and may quarrel with himself at any time.

Nishino lit a cigarette, inhaled deeply, and then exhaled smoke rings. It was only under the stimulation of this slightly spicy tar, and only in the illusion of gray smoke in circles and circles, that Nishino realized that his heart was truly free and truly peaceful at this moment.

A person, a cigarette, a piece of his own even if it is just a very small world, Nishino will feel satisfied. Because in such a world, at such a moment, you can think about everything, or you can think about nothing, and you don't need to care about other people's words or other people's faces.

"Since you left, you have lost your gentle ......" Daolang's hoarse and desolate voice floated out of his phone, echoing in the quiet office.

Nishino took the phone, and an unfamiliar phone number was displayed on the screen.

Guangzhou, Guangdong? Nishino answered the phone suspiciously.

"Hey, Nishino, is that you?" A pleasant mezzo-soprano came over the phone.

"It's me, are you?"

"Guess, I'm your old classmate! Can't hear me? Back then, a few of us were sworn friends! The voice over there was clearly a little happy and excited.

"Dead friends? Are you the boss? Linna?! How did you find my phone? Nishino couldn't believe his ears, the "boss" who hadn't seen him for many years was able to find his phone and actually called himself.

"Yes, yes, it's me, Lina. You guy, play missing, huh? I haven't heard from you for three years. I heard you're a teacher now? ”

"Yes, I'm back to S County."

“……”

"In a few days, I'm going back to S County, and we'll get together then. By the way, have you been in contact with He Yan over the years? I met her in Huizhou not long ago. I was hitchhiking to Guangzhou and only said a few words......"

"Uh-huh."

"Then I'll hang up. Bye-"

Nishino didn't have time to say goodbye, so Lina hurriedly hung up. Lina was a well-known courtesan in the whole school back then, and Nishino chased her for two years to no avail. I don't know how this Lina doxxed to find her hiding place, Nishino thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.

The sun was darkening, and the mountains were foggy. Nishino, who was extremely bored, casually wrote a poem "Jiangnan Spring" in his diary:

The wind is blowing, and the fog is misty. Raise the sail to urge the guests to go, and send you off according to Liu. Now that he is separated from his intestines, he will return to glory in the future.

As soon as he finished writing, Nishino's mobile phone rang again, and when he saw that it was the woman in the family, he immediately pressed reject. Unexpectedly, the fierce woman called more than ten times in a row, and Nishino couldn't bear it, so he answered the phone with no difficulty.

"You dead ghost, it's Friday, why don't you come back soon?"

"No return, no car."

"You don't know how to take a taxi back?"

"No money."

"Didn't I just give you a hundred? Where's the use? ”

"Playing cards and losing......" Nishino didn't want to go home, because his wife lived in her mother's house, and she had to look at the faces of their family when she entered the door.

"You go to die, you lose playing cards again. I'll just give you the fare every month. “

"Whatever you want."

"I warn you, if there is a next time, you don't think about this home!"

"If you don't go back, you won't go back, what's the big deal. I don't come to your house very often! ”

"Ou Yo, you are still hard-mouthed, are you stealing women in the mountains?"

"Steal your sister! A hundred yuan Lao Tzu is not enough to smoke, so Lao Tzu is so whole. Kind of sweep me away! ”

"Okay, you said it, remember it for me. My mother really regrets marrying you hillbilly, and if you step into my house half a step from today onwards, you will be a dog fed by my family! ”

"Cao Nima, what if Lao Tzu is a hillbilly? Tell you, Lao Tzu is annoying! Act like a snob. ”

"Nishino, I'll just say you're a dog that I fed at home, dog, dog, dog-"

Nishino was completely angry and cursed; "Hens that don't lay eggs, I'll write a divorce agreement tomorrow, let's disperse!" Then he turned off his mobile phone with a "snap" and stopped arguing with his wife.

"Damn! Scold me for being a dog. Lao Tzu, a graduate of the Chinese Department of a regular university, could not be insulted by this. It's unbearable! A thought of divorce flashed through Nishino's mind.
