Chapter 44: New Life
At this time, it was already early afternoon, and Jing Ye, who had only drunk milk in the morning and ate bread slices and fried eggs, was already hungry. However, it wasn't until he came out of the memories of playing with Shen Xiao that he felt that he was really hungry.
"It's time to eat." Jingye muttered to herself, walked to the back playground, and left the way she came. He didn't notice that the doorman at the door had returned and was resting in his cabin.
Jing Ye walked down the street outside the elementary school, looking at the shops on both sides of the street, looking for the one he was familiar with. Every time after playing, Shen Xiao and Jing Ye would come to the shop - Lao Restaurant.
The shop was in an inconspicuous alley, and it was already afternoon, but there were still customers. Jingye walked into this neat, clean and comfortable little shop, and ordered a bowl of fat beef rice as always. Why do you have to eat at this restaurant? Why do you order fatty beef rice? It's not how delicious the food is, it's that the amount of food in this shop is very large, which always makes them eat and drink enough after a lot of exercise, and the beef in this store is particularly fresh.
"The fat cow is coming to eat." A man in his 40s, the owner and waiter, enthusiastically served the food, "Use it slowly." ”
"Thank you." Sedum said as she looked at the steaming bowl.
He took the spoon and chopsticks on the table, scooped up the soup with the spoon, blew it gently, and passed it into his mouth. It's still the same taste as before, delicious and delicious, with a slight spiciness, just enough to whet people's appetites.
Jing Ye, who was very hungry, didn't care about the hot food, and ate it in one gulp, eager to swallow it all right away. Jing Ye, who had eaten three bowls of rice and a big bowl of fat beef soup, stopped his gluttonous behavior, put down his chopsticks, felt his bulging belly, sat down for a while, ate for a while, paid the bill and left the restaurant. "I'll come back next time." The owner never forgets to solicit customers. "This guest is a little familiar." The shopkeeper said as he looked at the back of Jingye in the distance.
Jing Ye walked along the familiar path and main road, and came to the last stop of his journey today, which was also the one he cared about the most. By the river on an unknown road.
Jingye stood on the side of the road, looking at the river at two o'clock, when the sun hung overhead, emitting a scorching temperature, which was reflected in the clear river, so dazzling that it was impossible to look at it directly. Jingye walked down the road and walked on the green grass, the summer lawn grew particularly well, and he swayed in the breeze. He walked through the meadow to the river, and looked at the sparkling water, which shook his eyes, but he still watched intently. He walked along the river, under the bridge in his memory, and a chill hit him, and he was completely different from the outside. His hand ran down the mossy stone wall to the place where he had fallen, and the ground was not as slippery as before, but rather dry and hard, and he could step on it steadily. It's a good place, Seduma thought.
Jing Ye sat down with his legs bent and looked at the river that was a little deep when the light was scarce. He stretched out his legs, lay down on his upper body, and pillowed on the panicked grass, he could feel the grass like a sharp knife piercing into his body, and began his nap time, all sounds were cut off by the night, everything was so peaceful and peaceful.
This was Jingye's best sleep in recent years, a dreamless sleep he hadn't experienced for a long time, nothing, and seemed stable and comfortable. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Jingye woke up leisurely, opened his closed eyes, and there was a trance in his eyes. He got up and walked out of the bridge and sat down on the grass in the afternoon twilight sun. The afternoon sun is not as fierce as the noon sun, but soft and warm, sprinkling half of the earth with its golden yellow, and the surrounding grass appears to shine, and the pale green and translucent river becomes a golden river, flowing into the stone arch bridge and flowing into the distance.
It's time, it's time to put an end to this relationship. Jing Ye made this decision.
Jingye looked at the shining golden river, and walked firmly from the bank to the middle of the river step by step, without hesitation, without hesitation, without waves in his eyes, without ups and downs, only calm, and soft warm colors. The river did not reach his knees, nor his thighs, nor his shoulders, but at last his eyes were soaked......
Now that they're all gone, let's end it like this. Sedum thought at the end.
"Saya." An urgent cry came from not far away.
"Xiaoye, what are you doing here?" A man grabbed him from behind Jing Ye who was almost above his head, and at this time he had drunk several mouthfuls of river water, and had been in the water for a while, but he was not unconscious, and the people behind him were pulling his arm hard, trying to drag him to the river with all his might.
Nighto? Who is calling me Sayo, and is anyone else calling me Sayo? Sedum thought like this, like a puppet at the mercy of others and without ideas.
Who is this man? She is the proprietress of a food stall, and because her youngest son forgot to bring his homework, she specially rushed from home to the school to get his homework book. The proprietress who had just gotten her homework with the help of the doorman was riding her own small battery and was rushing back to set up a stall. When passing by the river, I wanted to enjoy the beautiful river, and when I turned my head, I saw a familiar back, and found that he was slowly descending, slowly but persistently, it was the night when she helped her deal with the gangsters. She hurriedly got out of the battery car and didn't forget to call his name first.
The proprietress used all her strength to pull Sedum out of the river and sit down on the dry grass. The proprietress gasped for a moment to calm her mind, and then looked up at Jingye sitting on the side. What did she see? That is an expression that does not appear on ordinary people, only a monk who is detached from the world and sees through the red dust will have such an expression, calm and indifferent, as if no matter what happens, it will not make him change in the slightest.
"Xiaoye, what are you doing here?" The proprietress didn't know what to ask next, so she covered her mouth and lowered her head slightly, as if she could cry if she didn't do so.
Who is calling me Sayo, and who has the name Saya been called? Jingye's eyes have a focal length, and there is clarity. He looked at the person in front of him, her hair was wet from the river water, her clothes were sticking to her body, and there was a large lump of mud stuck to her feet.
"Boss?" Sedum spoke in a questioning tone.
The proprietress immediately raised her head, and Sedum saw her dewy eyelashes blinking involuntarily, and she could see the sorrow and sadness in her eyes.
"Yes, I'm the boss lady, Xiao Ye, how are you? Did something happen? The proprietress saw that Jingye's expression had changed, so she asked Jingye what happened.
"Happened, something." Sedum looked up, as if thinking about something.
After a while, he spoke again, "I forgot." "It seems like such an important thing, what have I forgotten? Sedum continued to search in his head, but couldn't think of anything.
The proprietress saw that Jing Ye seemed to be thinking very hard, so she opened her mouth to stop her: "Xiao Ye, don't think about it if you can't think of it, the proprietress will take you to change your clothes." ”
It was only then that Jing Ye felt that his whole body was wet, whether it was his clothes, shoes, or even his hair. It turns out that I am so embarrassed.
"Okay." Jing Ye did not refuse the kindness of the proprietress and agreed.
"Let's go, the proprietress will take you." The proprietress walked to her little battery and greeted Jingye.
Sedum looked back again, the shiny river, turned around, and walked towards the proprietress with thought: What the hell have I forgotten?
……
The hostess's house,
Jing Ye, who had taken a shower and changed into the clothes of the proprietress's husband, walked out of the back room.
The proprietress looked at Jing Ye, who was wearing her husband's wide clothes that just fit, and walked out of the room handsomely, and exclaimed, "Sure enough, skin appearance is the most important, good looks, no matter what clothes look good." Not bad, not bad. ”
Jing Ye heard the praise of the proprietress, and his face did not change, he asked the proprietress "Boss, do you know what I am doing in that river?" ”
The proprietress hesitated for a moment, thinking of Jing Ye's expression by the river, but she still said to Jing Ye seriously: "I just happened to pass by there, and then found you in the water, so I rescued you, and I don't know anything else." ”
"That's right." Jing Ye whispered these three words slowly.
When the proprietress saw Jing Ye's appearance, she was a little uneasy, so she wanted not to leave him alone tonight, but she had her business, so she decided to give it a try.
"Xiaoye, can you do the proprietress a favor? Help me take care of the food stall business. The hostess asked cautiously.
Jing Ye looked at the proprietress with an expectant look and replied, "Yes." ”
"Let's go, Saya." The proprietress walked outside and got on her little battery.
Jingye followed the proprietress who was full of interest and went out together.
The food stall of the proprietress
"Boss, who is that person? Why haven't you seen it before? A young and bold little girl asked the proprietress curiously.
The proprietress followed the little girl's gaze and saw that it was Jing Ye, and the proprietress smiled and said, "You said he, a distant relative of mine, came to help today." She wasn't going to tell the girl the truth.
"He's so handsome!" The little girl looked at Jing Ye, and her eyes sparkled.
The proprietress looked at Jing Ye's busy figure and was very happy, she joked: "Little girl, do you want me to help you call him over and give you some food?" ”
The little girl nodded happily, and there was more starlight in her eyes.
"Xiaoye, come here, this guest orders food." The proprietress shouted Jingye.
Jing Ye brought the food in his hand to the guest's table, and went to the table that the proprietress said, the three girls at that table were watching him talk about something, he walked to the side and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
"And what do you have here?" The little girl wanted to talk to Jing Ye for a while.
Jing Ye took out a recipe given to him by the proprietress and looked at it, and handed it to the little girl.
"Can't you read it for me?" The little girl pursed her lips and whispered to herself. But she still took the recipe, looked at it carefully, told her companion about it, and then returned it to Jingye, saying, "10 skewers of roast beef, 10 skewers of grilled gluten, and a bottle of Sprite." That's it for now. ”
Jing Ye remembered what she said in her head and said, "Okay. "I went to the other table.
As soon as he left, the three girls at the table had a heated discussion.
"He's so cool!" A girl exclaimed.
"It's a little cold!" A girl can't be expected.
"He has such a nice voice, but he has so few words." A girl said regretfully.
Finally, they shouted together, "I forgot to take a picture." They glanced at each other, and their eyes were all capitalized with pity.
