Returning Qiao Yuan to the sea, Ye Wei and I are also preparing to leave Xitang, Robben has to leave me and Ye Wei in Xitang for a few more days, I can't help Robben's invitation and Shen Yan'er, who is by Robben's side, and Ye Wei and I also live in the "Sky City".

Ye Wei still did not come out of the grief of Qiao Yuan's death, and was silent all day long. It made me feel that she was drifting away from the quirky woman she looked like on the night we first met in the ancient town of Yuzhi. Thinking about it, Qiao Yuan and Ye Wei, two people with the same soul, should have walked into the wedding hall but experienced life and death parting, which is really embarrassing. In the past few days in Xitang, Ye Wei has always stepped on the brick and stone road of the ancient town with a thousand years of life, maybe to see the sunset, or to the ancient pavilion to look at it from afar.

There is always a moment when everything in life comes to an end, on the fifth day of the temporary stay in the "Sky City", I decided to go back to Guizhou, Ye Wei also plans not to stay in Xitang, Xitang is the same as the rain, it is a quiet place in the world, literature and art and ideals are placed here, just like the world is in a hurry to isolate the outside world, but we always have to return to the world, destined to this kind of place can only stay in memory, and we must also become a sea of people drifting passers-by.

On the eve of leaving, Robben decided to make a trip for Ye Wei and me, so he simply handed over the inn that was not too busy to the owner of a guitar shop next door to help take care of it. At first, Shen Yan'er insisted on staying in the inn to take care of the business, not mixing with our last night, until Robben said seriously: "You will be my boss lady in the future, and they are my friends, after all, you are still their sister-in-law, so you must be able to do it for them." When Robben, who usually doesn't smile, said such a sensual and even slightly frivolous sentence, we were all surprised, and I naturally shouted directly with a thick skin: "Let's go, let's go, sister-in-law Yan'er, sister-in-law Yan'er, maybe the next time we eat together, it can only be your wedding." Shen Yan'er's parents are both government personnel, and they have been very strict since they were children, and they are arranged by their parents from reading to working, and they have never been involved in the ignorant love of adolescence, perhaps the bravest time in her life is to resist her parents and resolutely accompany Luo Ben to Xitang. Shen Yan'er blushed suddenly, but there was joy hidden in her eyes, and even tears flashed, at this moment, her initial insistence was answered and Robben's response. Shen Yan'er stroked the hair fluttering in front of his forehead, looked at Robben and said, "Then I'll go and tidy it up!" "Go ahead! We'll be waiting for you for as long as you want. Robben smiled dotingly at Shen Yan'er.

Robben and I sat in the front row, Ye Wei and Shen Yan'er sat in the back row, and Robben's second-hand public was like an old cow gasping and roaring. Along the way, Ye Wei leaned against the window, the scenery outside the car changed, and Ye Wei's eyes were lowered. Not long after, Robben took us to a restaurant, not magnificent, but also absolutely clean and tidy, the boss is a middle-aged greasy uncle, after seeing Robben handed over the menu, and took out the cigarette in his pocket, handed it to Robben, Robben took the cigarette, put it on his ear, bowed his head and ordered, the boss then handed me a cigarette, I thanked him, Shen Yan'er and refused the boss's flattery and handed over the cigarette, Ye Wei took the cigarette and did not light it, and after the boss took back the menu and returned to the kitchen, Ye Wei gave me the cigarette and said: "This cigarette is good, Xiao Chen gives it to you, smoke less!" I smiled, took the cigarette and put it in my pocket.

I sat in the private room for a long time before the dishes were ready. Looking at the tempting dishes on the table, I couldn't help but sigh that Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, one of China's eight major cuisines, are really mouth-watering. The famous "Jinling Osmanthus Duck", the "Yangzhou Lion Head" with fresh soup and fresh meat, the "Flower Boy Chicken" in the outer building of the building, the Hangzhou sauce duck with sesame oil and salty, and the Huaiyang dried silk with soft, tender, fragrant, fresh and delicious Huaiyang............ I couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and said cheekily: "Brother Robben, I broke the bill today, if one day my brother is rich and rich, I will also invite you to eat authentic Sichuan food."

Shen Yan'er laughed like a wind chime on the side, Ye Wei couldn't help laughing, Robben said with a smile: "When your kid is rich and rich, I don't know how tall Robben's grave grass is!"

"Hey, Brother Robben, how can you look down on people, I'm also very good, maybe which rich woman will take a fancy to me in the future?"

"Hahaha" laughed from the private room. "Have some drink?" Ye Wei spoke suddenly.

Robben stopped laughing and said, "I'll drive back to Xitang later!" Ye Wei's eyes were gloomy, "You drink, I'll drive later, rest assured, I'll take you back to Xitang safely!" Shen Yan'er said.

"Okay, Lao Xu, let's have two bottles of rice wine." Robben opened the door of the private room and shouted at the greasy uncle. After a while, the greasy uncle sent two bottles of rice wine, Robben began to open the bottle and pour the wine, and then the four of us raised their glasses, of course, Shen Yan'er drank the drink. When the rice wine entered my throat, the unique rich aroma of Jiashan rice wine spread in my mouth, and then it wandered gently in my cerebral cortex and capillaries.

"Ye Wei, where are you going next? Go back to Jinan? Robben asked. Ye Wei, who was already drinking with a poor appetite, put down her chopsticks and said slowly after a long time: "I don't know, I suddenly found that I don't want to go anywhere, but I can't go anywhere." I also looked up when I was buried in the food and didn't have anything to eat: Ye Wei definitely didn't want to go back to Jinan, after all, if it weren't for the persecution of the group of people in Jinan, maybe Qiao Yuan and I wouldn't have died, but if I didn't go home, this world is so big, Ye Wei may be able to travel everywhere, but she is only alone.

After eating, Shen Yan'er drove, and the group returned to Xitang, and when they returned to Xitang, it was still early, so they decided to take a stroll in Xitang at night. In the distance, the noise of the crowd and the soft singing were heard, and we followed the song. A band is singing, the lead singer of the band is magnetic, and the drummer on the side is shaking his head to the rhythm...... It just happened that the singer cut the song, and listening to the prelude, I really couldn't think of the name of the song, until the lyrics came out, and I suddenly remembered that this was the song of my childhood, it was Zheng Jun's "elopement": in a familiar foreign land

I exiled myself year after year

Walk through the flowers

Walk through thorns

Only for the land of the free

In the City of Desire

You are my last faith

…………

If Zheng Jun's bold, simple and powerful voice evokes everyone's deep emotions, then the singer at this moment uses a soft and soothing voice to no longer evoke emotions, but like a trickle to enter emotions into everyone. Many people sang along, and the most moving music in the world was not the well-groomed songs in the recording studio, but a group of people with different hearts and minds erupting in the same space with emotional harmony.

I was paralyzed by alcohol, and went back to the inn to say good night to Ye Wei, Robben, and Shen Yan'er and went upstairs to sleep. The next day I woke up at noon, and I was reluctant to leave and go in and out with tourists who were looking forward to playing, and I should pack my bags and go back to my hometown. There is still a distance from Xitang to the passenger station, and I am ready to leave with Ye Wei. After waiting for a long time, Ye Wei didn't show up for a long time, just as Robben was busy checking in for the guests, ran to the stone steps at the door and smoked, I walked over and asked: "Brother Robben, what about Sister Ye Wei, I'm going to go to the passenger station with her!" "She left early, and when Yan'er and I got up to open the door, she left!" Robben smoked a cigarette and exhaled smoke rings that lingered in the air. "Gone? It's over, I'm still ready to go with her, and who knows if the next meeting will be the Year of the Monkey. Robben didn't speak, he took out his phone and handed it to me. It was the chat box between him and Ye Wei, an abrupt red exclamation mark made me feel deafening, and I looked at the message that Ye Wei sent to Robben: "Robben, I'm sorry to say goodbye to you, Xiao Chen and Shen Yan'er in this way, it's possible that this goodbye is really goodbye." Qiao Yuan's departure really hit me hard, as if something that I was living in was forcibly withdrawn from my world, I can't tell what was being extracted, maybe it was Qiao Yuan's life, maybe it was my memory, or maybe it was my life. Qiao Yuan has only occupied a short period of my life for a little more than a year, but it has splendidly my life so far, and I have been infinitely united with his soul, and I feel that this has surpassed many couples. Now I am like a disabled person in the world. I know that everyone wants me to cheer up, after all, life is not only Qiao Yuan, I also have parents, I also have brothers and sisters, relatives and friends. But I didn't dare to go back to face them, and I didn't want to go back during such a period of time when I was in a lot of holes. Yesterday you asked me where I was going in the future, I stayed up all night, thinking a lot about the retreat and the future, do you remember the "elopement" sung by the wandering singer last night? There are a few lyrics that always linger in my mind: 'Through the flowers, through the thorns, only for the land of freedom, in the city of desire, You are my last faith', Qiao Yuan is really a person with a strong personality, so I think that being able to meet him in the rain is the best thing in my life, so in this city of desire, he is my last faith, I can't let go of him, maybe I will let go of it in the future, or maybe it will be unforgettable in this life, I will soon enter the marriage hall with Qiao Yuan but lose him, I think this is no different from being widowed, so I decided, he continued to travel in the ocean, then I will wander with him on land. You, I, Xiao Chen, and Qiao Yuan all met in Yuzhi Ancient Town, and several of us have inextricable fate and cause and effect, and these cause and effect relationships will make my life more messy, so I want to delete you and Xiao Chen during this period of time when I haven't let go of Qiao Yuan and haven't been able to let go, in this era, I won't break into my life without contact, maybe I can also let go of Qiao Yuan faster, maybe time is an antidote, and it is also the poison I am taking. In the end, it is full of regrets, the coming day is long, don't read the blessings! I could feel between the lines the determination of Ye Wei's departure, so much so that the red exclamation mark of Robben's last sentence "May you be safe and return safely" was so dazzling. I also gave my mobile phone to Robben, lit a cigarette and said: "Brother Robben, Sister Ye Wei has her own choice, and we, it's enough to bless her, it's not easy to meet in the world, don't ask for anything else." Okay, I'm also leaving, I have time for you and Sister Yan'er to come to Guizhou to play, let me do my best as a landlord! Robben stood up and gave me a hug, Shen Yan'er came over and shook hands with me, parting is always sad, I don't want to go so heavy so I pretended to be relaxed and said: "Sister Yan'er, you and Robben come on, remember to help me reimburse the fare when you get married!" "Okay, I'll wait for you with you Big Brother Robben!" Shen Yan'er hugged Robben's arm and said expectantly. "You kid, let's go, have a good trip!" Robben laughed and scolded me for saying his final goodbyes.
