In Zhao Yishui's account of the backup system, my father Huang Weiguo, who was lying on the bed of the Zero Military Region Hospital, still did not have any reaction. The memory of Zhao Yishui, the old man Zhao, only proves the existence of the backup system, but the existence of the backup system has long been an indisputable fact, the existence of the backup system in the narrative of the old man Zhao Yishui does not involve any information related to the opening, and these dusty memories cannot become the key to open the knot in my father Huang Weiguo's heart, so my father's condition does not seem to have changed at all, so there is still a helpless impasse on how to open the "backup system".

Tang Weidong and Zhao Hanbing were very anxious, the internal investigation did not find any results, but Bai Qiulu was nowhere to be found, and the disappearance of this family seemed to be a planned disappearance that had been discussed in advance. And the expungement order has no effect. Tang Weidong and Zhao Hanbing both had a feeling of being caught in the game. With the system turned off and the backup system not turned on, they are full of fear of the future time, because they don't know what kind of news will come from this future time, this worry is really like an ant on a hot pot.

Zhao Hanbing got angry at every turn.

Tang Weidong locked himself in the office and said to the secretary, no matter what happens, don't alarm me, I have to think about it.

This time in the spring of 1983 was a dark time for Tang Weidong and Zhao Hanbing, as well as for my father and mother, but it was different for me

Ah Yue was tired of lying in the hospital, so I carried Ah Yue on my back to the street of Huisa.

It was a sunny morning, the rolling mountains around the city were half above the clouds and half under the clouds, the red river was like a meandering dragon rushing at the bottom of the valley, the symphony between heaven and earth was not only the wind, but also the dance of the great river, of course, the rain and hail, but the ghosts were still clouds and rainbows. I don't know when it was built. People have been repairing it all the time, and the houses are still slowly spreading towards the top of the mountains, still stretching towards the sky. The clouds rose at the bottom of the Red River Valley, and above the clouds, the city in the sky suddenly became a city in the sky. I wonder why the house of Resa still stretches to the top of the mountain, and it is to be built to connect with the heavenly heavens? Or is Desa a part of heaven in its own right? Carrying Ah Yue on his back, he walked up the stairs, the steps were fresh moss, and the people under the sun were so leisurely and soothing, as if the hurried time and the hurried world had nothing to do with them. The world slows down here. The smell of roses and durian fills the air. Watching the woman pushing the float and fruits walk by, I bought a bouquet of roses and a durian for Ah Yue, Ah Yue pouted and said, "A bouquet of roses and a durian proposed, isn't it too much?"

I said to Ah Yue: "This is not a marriage proposal, it is a relationship."

Ah Yue said to me, "Oh, if that's the case, then it makes sense."

The funniest scene came before us.

There are a lot of Europeans standing at the entrance of the houses at the East City Gate, I can't tell that they belong to that country, holding a camera, babbling and noisy, and there are beautifully dressed foreign women and a bearded foreign man who seem to be talking to each other, the sun is shining brightly over them, I asked Ah Yue, can't it be a movie? Ah Yue said to me, "You guessed it, I'm making a movie." Yes, the city of Zosa is a natural studio, and these Westerners are really saving money. It is said that the first person to sell the dish to the world was the American Global Geographic Magazine. Ever since Global Geographic's album "City in the Clouds" introduced Zosa to the world, many foreign tourists have come to visit.

Ah Yue told me: "I know that these people have been here for a long time, and there are two groups of people who make movies, one is from Hollywood, the director's name is Quentin Tarantino, and the film they made is called "The City of Love". The other group is French, the director's name is Jean-Pierre Melville, and they make a film called "City of Love". It is said that both books were written by an English girl when she was here for sightseeing, and the name of the novel is "Waiting City", which tells a poignant love story, and it is also said that after the novel was published, it was on the New York book list and became a bestseller. Both films tell the same story and are based on the same novel. But the advertising slogan is a bit interesting, "The City of Love" is written like this, I read it to me, 'Find a poetic place to break up'. It sounds a little poetic, but if it's a breakup, it's a sad thing. ”

I said to Ah Yue: "Who said you have to cry if you break up?" When it comes to breaking up, it will definitely not be able to go on, in that case, isn't separation a complete relief for each other? ”

Ah Yue said to me: "Today we will not talk about the topic of breakup. There is no detour, we can walk from the left, on the left is the 'City of Love', and "The City of Love" also has an advertising slogan, I read it to you, 'Love in a warm place'. It's pretty much the same, it's pretty much the same. ”

I said to Yue, "Let's find a place to take pictures."

Ah Yue said: "No, no, definitely not, how can I be like this now." I'm going to leave you the most beautiful side, and even if we can't be together, you'll miss me for the rest of your life. ”

I said to Ah Yue, "Okay, okay. Listen to you. Do you think those stars are so glamorous? It's not a pile of cosmetics, the daughter of a friend of my grandmother is also a star in Beijing, and at my grandmother's house, it looks completely different from in the movie, it's just two people. ”

Ah Yue asked me, "Do you think I'm beautiful?"

I replied, "It's okay." It does not affect the appearance of the city, and it will not cause nightmares. ”

Ah Yue said to me: "Let me go, I don't want you to carry me, there are so many men on the street, I will find someone to carry me."

I said to Ah Yue: "If it were heaven, I really wouldn't dare to let you go." Today, you think about it, who would dare to carry a girl covered in bandages? Do you want to try it? Does anyone dare to take such a big risk? ”

Ah Yue said coquettishly: "Are you bullying people?"

I said to Ah Yue, "Bully me once in a while."

I carried Ah Yue on my back and walked warmly in the sunshine of Huisa. Like a newlywed couple flirting. I think this place is probably the most suitable place in the world to fall in love. The sunshine is so good, the roses in the air are so fragrant, the classic and old street market has such a romantic atmosphere, and the long and slow time is so full of feelings. Such a place is most suitable for those who regard love as their life, because such a place can make those who love to death remember a lifetime or three lives.

Ah Yue said to me, "It's good that you can carry me like this for the rest of your life."

I said to Ah Yue: "If it were you, I would be willing to carry it for the rest of my life, not afraid of a long time."

When Ah Yue speaks Chinese, it is like a word by word, and he speaks upside down, but when he speaks English, French, Hani, Yiche dialect, he is very fluent, and when he speaks Vietnamese, Burmese, Thai Chinese and other Southeast Asian languages, he is also very fluent. But I could understand English except for the rest, so I didn't know what she was talking about. If she uses a Chinese word, plus an English word, plus a French word, plus a Burmese word, plus a Yiche dialect, then, her words become an encrypted sentence, even if you are a god, you will not know what she says, but her expression is often like this, I often say a lot of words, there is no expression at all, no way, because, I don't know what she said. This has caused me to have great difficulties in communicating with Ah Yue. So, we had to use gestures and body language to express our emotions with each other. But Ah Yue is born with a talent for language expression, and she will learn it as soon as she learns it. The first Chinese character I taught Ah Yue was the character "love", and I said to Ah Yue, what is love? To like with your heart is to love.

Ah Yue pointed to his heart and said, I like you here is the word "love", right?

I said, "OK."

I can't imagine how she could understand so many languages.

Ah Yue accompanied me to the century-old restaurant "One Bowl in the World" at the east gate of Huisa.

When I arrived at the old store, I was a little disappointed, what a century-old store, isn't it just a tavern? It was smaller than I estimated, the old shop was a Chinese-style tiled house, with two floors, and the store could only accommodate five tables of eight immortals. When we went, it was the morning of the restaurant, the sun shone on the old shop, and the people who ate rice noodles in front of the store lined up in a long line. In order to eat a bowl of rice noodles, I would rather wait. Ah Yue has a heart, so I have to wait.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally our turn.

Why don't you just eat a bowl of rice noodles, a girl brought a lot of bowls and plates with dishes to our table of eight immortals, and the only ones I could recognize were leeks, green onions, and coriander. Ah Yue pointed to the ingredients in the bowl and said to me: "This is chicken breast, pork loin slices, pork loin slices, pork liver slices, and fresh fish slices." He pointed to other plates and said to me, "Fresh chrysanthemums, grass teeth, tofu skin." Then he pointed to the big bowl on the left side of the table and said, "Have you ever seen these mushrooms?" These are matsutake mushrooms, chicken fir mushrooms, dried mushrooms, green head mushrooms, liver mushrooms, morel mushrooms, milk pulp mushrooms, tiger palm mushrooms, chestnut mushrooms. When it rains, these mushrooms are found in the forests of Tsusa, and when you put them in the soup, the soup becomes very fragrant. You won't see any of these things in Beijing. ”

I said to Ah Yue: "I have grown so big, I have never seen these things, let alone eaten them." You can eat the fungi in the forest, and you can eat the insects flying in the sky. Are those butterflies and dragonflies edible? ”

Ah Yue then said to me, "Okay, find another time to take you to eat bugs." The first step in making rice noodles is to use pork bones, pork, chicken and duck and other muddy materials to simmer the soup, and the fire skills should be exquisite when simmering. The meat slices of the soup should be fine and complete, and you can use chicken breast, pork loin slices, pork loin slices, pork liver slices, fresh fish slices, etc. The next is the production of ingredients, the production of ingredients should pay attention to the color and deliciousness, mainly fresh chrysanthemums, grass teeth, tofu skin, leeks, green onions, coriander, minced ginger, ground pepper, as well as sesame, chili oil, pepper, monosodium glutamate, etc. Then use a large soup bowl to put MSG, pepper, chicken fat, and then scoop the boiling soup into the bowl, the fat will float up, cover the hot air, it looks like cold soup, but it is actually piping hot. Then the raw meat slices or quail eggs and other foods that are not easy to cook quickly are put into the soup bowl for a little shabu-shabu, and then the whole or half-raw fresh vegetables and ingredients are added, and finally the rice noodles are added, and the rice noodles can be added while eating. At this time, the pink and white meat slices, golden chrysanthemums, white and tender fish slices, white grass sprouts, green onions, and red pepper oil in the bowl are all integrated and colorful, so that it becomes 'a bowl in the world'."

Ah Yue said so much, I still don't know what to put in the soup first, Ah Yue put the mushrooms in my big bowl, put the condiments, and said to me: "It seems that you have never cooked by yourself." As for men who can't cook by themselves, there are two situations, either they have a virtuous mother or a wife who is very good at cooking. ”

I said to Ah Yue: "I always eat in restaurants on the street or in canteens. The things I have eaten in Yunnan are all things that I have never eaten. ”

Ah Yue said to me, "How about tasting the soup?"

I tasted the soup and couldn't speak for a long time.

Ah Yue looked at me confused and said to me: What? Doesn't it taste right?

There is such a fresh and indescribable taste of soup in the world, I said to Ah Yue: "Maybe the soup in heaven tastes like this."

Ah Yue smiled and said to me, "Do you still need some butterflies and dragonflies?" Yunnan Brown Butterfly, Jade Dragon Brown Butterfly, Beaked Butterfly, Tailless Black Butterfly, Cat Spotted Silk Pink Butterfly, Great Zebra Butterfly, Tala Pink Butterfly, Red Tip Pink Butterfly, White Spotted Butterfly, Beak Butterfly, Yunnan Butterfly, Big Silver Leopard Butterfly, Round-winged Wolf Butterfly, White-eyed Butterfly, Purple Butterfly, Swallow Wind Butterfly, Wing Butterfly, Green Butterfly, Golden Butterfly, Withered Leaf Butterfly, Local Butterfly, Red Wing Tip Pink Butterfly, Wing Top Pink Butterfly. There is also a particularly beautiful butterfly that flies in front of your eyes, and you will be hooked with her. ”

I said to Ah Yue, "You are the butterfly."

Ah Yue said, "No. The kind of butterfly, which is said to be transformed by a fox, will seduce the soul of a man. I kid you not, this has happened before. ”

Ah Yue shouted, "Boss, let's have a plate of fried dragonflies."

I said to Ah Yue: "Deep-fried dragonflies? Is there really one? ”

Ah Yue said: "Yes, but there are no fried butterflies."

I said to Ah Yue, "Can peacocks and tigers be eaten?"

Ah Yue said to me, "Absolutely not, they are gods in the forest. The cuckoo is also not allowed to eat, it is the spirit that brings the news of spring. Butterflies are also not edible, in the eyes of Yiche people, butterflies are the love of the world, can be pursued, can be eaten into the heart, but can not be eaten in the mouth. ”

In the old restaurant of the world, I tried my best to maintain the demeanor of a gentleman, but the eating appearance was still too embarrassing, I was sweating profusely, as if my body and stomach could exude the fragrance of food, a dragonfly put in my mouth, crisp and mellow, I said to Ah Yue: "If there are two more wines, it would be perfect."

Ah Yue said to me, "Don't drink today, the wine will take away all the fragrance and umami."

I said to Ah Yue: "Oh, it turns out that there is still this exquisiteness. It is enough to eat such a taste every day for a lifetime. ”

Ah Yue was not modest at all and said: "Actually, my craftsmanship is better than theirs. Do you know what is the best condiment for food? ”

I pointed to a table of bowls and plates and said to Yue, "Of course that's it."

Ah Yue said: "No, it's intention." You've eaten my cooking, and you'll understand what I'm saying. ”

I said to Ah Yue: "I just think that this person's stomach has a memory, otherwise, why would these people come to eat this bowl every day." People's tastes are addictive, and it may be the same if you love someone, and it is difficult to quit after becoming addicted. ”

I looked at Ah Yue.

Ah Yue didn't avoid my eyes, looked at me and said, "If you like me, let's take a look at it." After you leave, you won't be able to see it if you want to. ”

In Zosa, after eating a bowl of the world, Ah Yue really took me to eat the worm feast, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and eaten it with my own mouth, I wouldn't have believed that there was such a place in Tsusa. In a tavern on the side street of the East Gate of Zosa, the plaque hanging on the door of the tavern is an insect record. I wonder to myself, is it the strange imagination of the writer of the legendary novel or the strange imagination of the world? I can actually come up with such a thing as eating a thousand insects. I asked Ah Yue: Can dragonflies and butterflies be eaten? Originally, it was just a joke, but I don't want to be a real existence in Tsusa. Cicadas, cockroaches, praying mantises, locusts, grasshoppers, cockroaches, bee chrysalis, grasshoppers, spiders, snakes, dragonflies, and butterflies hang on the door of the insect book, which is terrifying and weird, like arriving at an insect museum. There are more than 100 species of butterflies alone, and there are hundreds of species of spiders and snakes alone, and if you suddenly walk to this door on a moonlit night, you will definitely think that you have come to the uncanny valley. The counter at the entrance of the insect book is full of glass wine bottles, each wine bottle is full of strange insects, and each wine bottle has Chinese characters written on it, centipede wine, bee chrysalis wine, grasshopper wine, spider wine, snake wine...... The boss told us: "The wine in these bottles is made of red rice, and drinking a glass of these wines every day can relieve rheumatism, nourish yin and yang, beautify and rejuvenate." It reminds me of a book I read, "Insects" by the French writer Fabre. The products of this "Insect Record" shop include insect feasts, insect wine, and insect specimens, which can be eaten, drunk, and taken away. The inside of the shop is filled with the smell of fried insects and the smell of insect alcohol. Ah Yue asked for a plate of fried spiders, a plate of dragonflies, a plate of grasshoppers, a plate of centipedes, and a plate of bee pupa. I hurriedly said to Ah Yue: "Enough, enough." These things look scary, how to enter? ”

Ah Yue also asked for half a catty of snake wine.

Ah Yue said to me, "This spider is called the Red Rose Spider."

The name is very gorgeous, but whether it is a red rose or a white rose, how to eat it? It's eating, it's all a visual adventure.

On this day, the sun rained in the sky of Huisa, and the rain came as soon as it was said, and the wind came and went, and then it went again, and then it poured and came again, and it went again in a blink of an eye, like a game of rain, and a rainbow appeared in the sky, and the rain came and went, and the rain went and the rain came again.

Ah Yue said to me, "Are you eating?"

I said to Ah Yue: "Okay, don't worry, don't worry."

I'm really worried that there is some ancient Gu medicine in these bugs. So he took a sip of wine first to strengthen his heroic spirit.

Ah Yue said to me, "Eat." ”

I still said, "No hurry, no hurry." I had to be mentally prepared. ”

Ah Yue said, "Are you a man?" Aren't they just bugs? ”

I still said, "Wait, wait, I'm not ready." ”

Ah Yue picked up a red rose spider and said to me, "Open your mouth?"

I opened my mouth to catch Ah Yue's red rose spider, and I could only eat it as poison. I bit it with my teeth, and my mouth was full of that indescribable fragrance, unreal.

Ah Yue asked me, "How is it?"

I said to Ah Yue, "I can't believe it's so delicious."

We didn't leave until the stars in the sky were shining, I was drunk, and walked on the street with the help of Ah Yue, the starry sky was as clean as a washed curtain, and the stars were like transparent diamonds scattered by the gods. Ah Yue supported me, but she walked by herself like a butterfly, I felt that Ah Yue was a fluttering butterfly. When I woke up, I found that Ah Yue was pressing on my body and hugging me tightly, as if I was afraid that I would run away. If you push Ah Yue away at this time, you will be embarrassed. I just kept pretending to be asleep.

When Ah Yue woke up, she said, "Oh my God?" Ah Yue let go of me and floated away like a butterfly.

When I saw Ah Yue sitting next to me, I deliberately pretended to wake up and said to Ah Yue: "The wine brewed by the Yiche woman is intoxicating."

Ah Yue also said: "Well, it's a little intoxicating. Get up and drink some Pu'er tea from Huisa to relieve hangover. ”

I sat up and took Ah Yue's teacup, took a sip, the tea was as soft and sweet as silk, and I suddenly sobered up a lot.

Ah Yue said to me, "Eat another rose and flower cake." The flowers on the mountain can be made into cakes, you can taste them. ”

I took the cake that Ah Yue handed me and took a bite, and my mouth was full of flowers.

I said to Ah Yue, "The days of Wasa are a legend."

I asked Ah Yue, "What time is it?"

Ah Yue said, "It's still the middle of the night."

The stars in the sky outside the window are like countless pairs of eyes peeking at us.

Ah Yue said to me, "It's good to be like this forever." Don't dawn. I don't want dawn. ”
