Final Chapter (2)
No matter how perfect a dance party is, after a night of partying, it will turn into a mess the next morning. Last night's fragrant bacon will turn into disgusting mud after a few days. Perhaps most of the good things in the world are immediate, and the vulgar stench you encounter may have been elegant and delicious for a few moments before.
It's like something I'm vomiting out of now, a few minutes ago, he was a glass of wine, and now, it's just a puddle of trash that wild dogs won't lick.
And I'm ...... This garbage is needed.
Because I can't wake up, I need something to anesthetize myself, wine, is undoubtedly the best thing ever.
I dragged myself open the door of the bar in front of me again, and the smell was similar to the vomit I had just squirted, or even thicker, it was like a pot of slimy gastric juice, evenly smeared in every inch of air.
And the many drunks in front of him were bathed in the smell of fish, and their heads were dipped in the wine glasses.
My name is ......
Maybe it's drunkenness, I don't remember much, but it doesn't matter.
Because I'm just a little person in this chaotic city, no one pays attention, no one remembers, and unless I spit wine into some passerby's shoes, he can't notice me at all.
In fact, after he beat me up, he would forget about me the next day.
It's amazing......
Oh, and my self-introduction isn't over yet, I have a job βββ a circus extra, in addition to my name, which doesn't deserve a mention.
In my spare time, I clean up the performance grounds, oil the wheelbarrows, shovel the dung eggs for the horses, and when there is no interval between performances, I go on stage to tell jokes. Although my jokes are generally not funny, I have a trick of telling each joke, which is to laugh first, and laugh back and forth, and laughter is always contagious, so ...... I can at least bring in a few idiots who don't pay attention to what they're listening to.
I got the job at the end of last month.
And this afternoon...... I lost it.
Maybe it was because my jokes weren't funny, maybe it was because I didn't wipe my floor clean enough that the unicycle acrobat fell, in short, I was fired again, and I was out of work again.
Again, being pointed at the nose and scolding the waste.
"Again...... Another drink. I leaned over and said to the bartender, and then added, "The cheapest." β
At first, I was a little embarrassed because it meant you didn't have any money, but gradually I realized that no one cared about how much alcohol you drank, and that's why I like it.
Yes, I don't have any money.
I haven't paid my rent for 3 months and every night when I walk up the stairs of the apartment, I don't even dare to look into the eyes of the landlord and open the door...... I was even more afraid to look at my wife...... and her belly......
She is pregnant, 6 months.
Until now, I don't even have time left to name my child.
Every day, I had to run around all kinds of job fairs, flip through the advertisements on the streets, and then I was fired again and again.
The city was like a beast, slowly devouring me, its barbed tongue scraping my flesh and its long needle-like mouthparts spitting at my blood. It doesn't kill you all at once, but slowly, mercilessly, pushing you to the brink of death, leaving you in agony until you are desperate until you want to kill yourself..... But I still have children, and I have a wife...... I have them, but I can't feed them......
A glass of wine was placed in front of me, and the bartender was a little stronger, so the wine spilled some, but I didn't care, because I had already figured out that I wasn't going to pay for the wine tonight, and I'm going to get myself drunk and lie here unconscious, and no one could dig a penny out of my pocket anyway, and no one could cause any pain to a drunk.
At most, when they hit me, they heard me drunken jokes, vomiting, smirking, or ...... Shed a few tears.
Finally, I cried, and to hide the ridiculous tears, I forced myself to laugh, and then choked on more tears.
Hurry up and get me drunk, so ...... I'll have 12 cents left.
That's amazing!
...... "Do you want to drink more?" β
Just as I was coughing vigorously to soothe my spasmodic windpipe, a soft sound came into my ears.
I looked up with difficulty......
In front of me is a beautiful, but somewhat weird girl.
She is said to be beautiful because she is really beautiful, she has a slender waist, slender legs, and her whole body is full of charming vitality.
And she is said to be weird because her hair color is really nondescript, it is a charming blonde hair, but it is tied into a double ponytail, painted pink on one side and blue on the other, and there are some weird outfits painted on her beautiful face...... But...... It seemed to make her look even more attractive.
I was so stupid that I forgot to cough and just stared at her like everyone else in the bar.
Then......
She turned her head to me......
It was a pair of eyes that couldn't say anything, it seemed to be tired, it seemed to be calm, it seemed to be relieved, she looked at me quietly, from top to bottom, nose, corners of mouth, and finally stopped at my eyes.
"Would you like to drink more?" She repeated what she had just said, and then added, "I please." β
I was a little confused: "You...... Know me? β
The girl smiled: "Which you?" She responded.
"Huh." I laughed at such a confused rhetorical question, and it seemed that this girl was also a drunk guy, just like me: "It doesn't matter who you are, but if what you just said counts, then I want to drink until I forget about it." β
"Of course." The girl smiled: "All your wine today is counted in my account, but I have one condition. β
I was stunned for a moment, I didn't know what conditions this strange woman would offer, but I wasn't afraid, because I didn't have anything......
"I want your lipstick...... The one in your left pocket. She said.
I looked at her a little blankly, this lipstick was bought by me with the last little money in my pocket after I was fired. I didn't know why I was buying it, maybe because giving this lipstick to my wife was the only thing I could do to make her happier right now, or maybe I was just hysterical about turning myself into a penniless piece of waste.
Anyway, I bought this lipstick, and the next second I bought it, I regretted it, after all, this dollar can buy two days of bread.
"Hiccup...... How do you know I have a lipstick? I asked.
The girl laughed, "Of course I know, I'll pay a dollar for it." β
"Hahahaβββ" Probably because I could get the dollar back, so I laughed, "Okay, I do." β
And I said, "Thank you." β
"yesβthank you!" I seemed to hear it, and she said thank you.
I don't know why she thanked her, but it didn't matter because she was just a drunk.
I pulled the lipstick out of my pocket and handed it to her.
She took it casually.
At that moment...... I was already blurred by the infestation of alcohol.
Seems to have seen ......
The strange girl laughed, but tears welled up in her eyes...... Stained that weird makeup.
It's more beautiful......
