Chapter 43: Midnight Shadows
Maybe my speech and demeanor may be a vulgar woman to him, but I am not. In that filthy environment, I had to be absolutely strong to avoid being abused.
Although I'm a woman who didn't graduate from elementary school, I actually feel that I'm still kind and cultivated, but this is a self-evaluation, and I don't know what he thinks.
I haven't been back for ten years, one is because my work is not honorable, and the other is that I don't want to go back, and I have been drifting in this city for ten years.
In the past ten years, I have worked hard to sell my body to make money, not only did I send some back to my parents, but I also let my sister be admitted to college, and he will go to college to report this year.
It's one of the things I'm very happy about, even though I didn't go to school, but I'm happy to have my sister go to school, and in September I decided to go back with him to take him to college, and I'm going to buy her a smartphone so that we don't have to talk to each other every six months like we used to, we can video chat and see each other every day.
Well, would he like to? I guess he should be willing! I've tidied up all the house by myself, and I've waited for him comfortably, and he'll definitely bow down under my pomegranate skirt to fulfill my wish, hehe!
Well, what else to say, oh, by the way, I changed jobs, but I didn't tell him what I was doing, because I didn't have a high degree and didn't know anything, so I got a job handing out flyers in a brown bear doll costume.
This work is not tiring, but it is really hot, just like the steamer for steaming steamed buns in my hometown, maybe it is better in winter. But I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm originally from the countryside.
I earn a lot less money and I'm tired from my job, but I'm really happy. Although he never said he loved me, I could feel that he didn't dislike me, and he didn't hate me and wanted to be with me.
I want to work hard, and then the new home is bought and we move into the new house together, have another baby, and live happily together.
I'm very happy to think about our home in the future, and I'm looking forward to that day.
Well, I'm going to pack up all my things at home, and then I'll come back in the evening and find a three-wheeled person to move into, so that as soon as he comes back, we can go directly to live in the newly rented house.
Zhang Yi gently closed the notebook, he looked at the well-organized things in front of him with teary eyes, and felt that God seemed to have played a joke on him, a joke of adults teasing children.
He actually cared about the nature of Li Xiaoya's work at first, but later the feeling of home living with her overwhelmed his identity, and he slowly accepted her and regarded him as a member of the family, of course, there may be no love, only family affection.
But sometimes family affection and love are really indistinguishable, just like Zhang Yi now, losing Li Xiaoya, he is like a family falling apart all of a sudden, and he feels the pain of piercing his heart.
Maybe family affection is the sublimation of love, and he and Li Xiaoya have directly jumped into love and reached the stage of family affection.
Putting down the notebook, Zhang Yi sat on the sofa, he felt exhausted, as if he had just experienced a whole day of physical labor.
He closed his eyes, but he didn't sleep, he just let his body relax fully, doing nothing, not wanting to think about anything.
"Eat some, you haven't eaten in a day"
A shrill voice rang out in the room, it was a familiar one, a little bird. Zhang Yiwei opened his eyes, glanced at the plate on the table, and closed his eyes again.
"Let's have a bit! Eat some, ....... ”
The little bird kept hovering over Zhang Yi's head, repeating a sentence.
Zhang Yi was furious, he suddenly seemed to be a different person, jumped up hysterically, grabbed the plate on the table and slammed it against the opposite wall.
With a crisp sound, the plate instantly cracked and fell to the ground, spilling larvae from the plate, and they wriggled and crawled in all directions.
The little bird was stunned by Zhang Yi's sudden move, he flew to the window, put his ass towards Zhang Yi, and kept muttering in his mouth.
"This is what I spent all morning finding, it's the best bug, I usually don't want to eat it, but you?" The little bird still had the same sharp voice, but there was a little more sadness in her voice this time.
Zhang Yi suddenly felt that he was a little too much, he immediately squatted on the ground, picked up those larvae one by one, put them in the bowl, and then gently walked to the back of the little bird.
"I'm sorry, I've been in a bad mood lately, I was too impulsive just now, but your favorite food isn't our human's favorite food, you know?"
The little bird didn't move, Zhang Yi gently stretched out his hand and stroked its feathers, but he didn't expect Xiaoxiao to shake his body vigorously as if avoiding his touch, this is like a woman who touches her when she is angry, she ignores you and avoids your touch.
Zhang Yi sighed deeply and said, "You and Xiaoya are both my family, but now that she is gone, it is suddenly difficult for me to accept it,"
The little bird hesitated for a moment, turned around gently, looked at Zhang Yi with a pair of round eyes, and said, "Okay, I forgive you, but this is the last time" After speaking, he flapped his wings and flew to Zhang Yi's shoulder, Zhang Yi stroked its smooth feathers and looked into the distance.
"Bang bang", someone is knocking on the door.
Zhang Yi opened the door and saw that it was the two brothers and sisters, Liu Wu was holding a dinner plate in his hand, on which were various dishes, and Wicker was carrying two cases of beer.
"Brother Yi, you must be hungry, let's eat some together!" The catkins were fatter, and because the weather was too hot, large beads of sweat slid down her cheeks.
Zhang Yi has mixed feelings, he is not without nothing now, he still has these brothers and sisters who care about him. He wants to live well and live happily, this may be what Li Xiaoya is happy to see!
So Zhang Yi hurriedly helped Liu Wu take the dinner plate and let her into the house, they sat on the ground, and the three of them ate and drank together until they got themselves drunk.
After the last rays of sunset disappeared, the moon rose high in the sky, illuminating the land white.
The moonlight shone through the windows into the room, and three people and a bird lay on the ground, and they slept soundly, and there was a constant sound of snoring.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the window, and then a dark shadow floated outside the window, and he was not visible, just a black figure in the form of a human.
The black shadow stood outside the window and looked at the three people and one bird lying on the ground, and suddenly he sneered and said coldly in a hoarse voice: "It's fast, soon everything will be over." Then, as soon as he raised his hand, his hand instantly became longer, and he walked through the window towards Zhang Yi.
But just as the hand of this black shadow was about to reach Zhang Yi, a deafening roar suddenly sounded from Zhang Yi's side.
The sound was like a roaring lion or a roaring tiger, shaking the whole room as if it were about to collapse.
The black shadow's hand immediately retracted, turned around and rolled up a gust of wind and fled into the distance.
The three people in the room sat up at once as if they had made an appointment with each other, Wicker rubbed his eyes and pushed again, and sat numbly, Zhang Yi and Liu Wu asked, "Did you hear it, did the loud noise just now cause an earthquake?" ”
After hearing this, Liu Wu immediately got up and looked around nervously on the window, and then said helplessly: "No, I also heard a loud noise just now, is it a dream." ”
"It's not a dream, I heard it, and it feels like it's in my ears, like a lion's roar, my ears still have a buzzing sound" Zhang Yi said very much, he vaguely felt in his heart that this roar was unusual, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
