Chapter 143: The Masked Man
In my early 20s, I stayed at home for too long, and I wanted to go out and make a name for myself, but I was a little reluctant to talk about my girlfriend because she was well-behaved and cute, slim and kind and generous, no matter where I stood, I always followed with a smile, just like never separated.
Even though my mom was still alive, deep down I still wanted to go out. So, on this day, I took my girlfriend to the creek I had just met, sat on a clean rock, and then I hugged from behind, and the position was so crowded that I couldn't breathe for a moment.
I whispered, "If I'm out, can you wait for me to come back?" ”
"Yes."
"What if I don't come back?"
"Keep waiting."
"Well, I promise you, I will marry you in a beautiful way when I go home."
"Well, it's a deal!"
From that day on, I came to the big city, because I was too curious, I would do whatever I saw, and when I met a master with good skills, I immediately followed it without saying much.
Half a month, maybe I got used to it at home, that kind of lazy young master's problem, appeared at work, and the boss could only fire me. With a little salary, standing in front of a jewelry store and pondering, if I buy a cheap ring, I can get married, but there is a fatal question, where to live tonight, when my stomach is grunting with hunger, can I put down the shelf and go through the trash can?
Just thinking of these pictures that are about to become, my heart hurts sourly, and when I was hesitating, my eyes suddenly changed, and I beat my chest and swore a poisonous oath. If I didn't get ahead in this city, I would never go home and get married.
After swearing a poisonous oath, the mood that fell to the trough returned to normal, and he kept a smile to face the rest of his life, and once again stepped on the road of finding a job. A week has passed, the little salary on my body has been used up, and I am tired of walking in the streets and alleys, if my feet are weak and I am holding on to the wall.
"Brother, are you looking for a job?" A deep voice from a man came.
I looked up weakly, and saw that the man was dressed in black, with a mask on his face, and shiny leather shoes under his feet.
The man asked again, "Are you looking for a job?" ”
I replied, "Of course, do you have any money with you?" I'm dying of hunger. ”
"No problem, there's a restaurant in front of us, let's go there and eat and talk."
Since the day I met the masked man, my life has been turned upside down, so I thought of my girlfriend who had not yet married at home, and after two days of travel, I finally stood on the bridge of wind and rain in my hometown.
I saw a familiar voice in the west, pounding on clothes with a mallet, pulling up her long hair from time to time, and digging the hem of her skirt into the water. Then with foam-stained hands, roll them up casually and clamp them on the thighs.
The crisp sound of running water woke me up from my obsession, and I realized that there was a stream between us, although the water level was not high, but looking at a mask reflected in the water, I wanted to take it off with my hand, and I saw my girlfriend standing up, still smiling and waving to me.
The girlfriend shouted, "Are you lost?" Oh, why are you wearing a mask? ”
I finally heard the voice I had dreamed of, and under this mask, my girlfriend didn't know who I was and couldn't see that she was crying.
