Chapter 12 The One Who Doesn't Want to Be a Slave
When Ah Heng held the train ticket in his hand, he had a real feeling.
She was about to leave here, and Ah Heng was relieved and sang happily: "Arise, you who do not want to be slaves......"
She hummed quietly, and the young man beside her propped his chin and looked at her like a monster.
Ah Heng blushed.
"You're out of tune." The young man smiled flatly, took a deep breath, brewed, and exhaled, "Get up!" People who don't want to be slaves! That's right. β
You...... It's out of tune......
Ah Heng sniffed, but she didn't dare to refute, she remembered that Siwan had said Yanxi's bad temper countless times.
The ticket at 10 o'clock in the evening is still half an hour away.
It's the Spring Festival travel period, and there are frighteningly many people in the waiting room. Yan Xi was afraid of being stepped on, so he squatted in the corner with Ah Heng, and the two waited quietly for the ticket check.
"We're going, S City?" Ah Heng asked the boy in a low voice.
The boy crouched there, his eyes flashing wide, and nodded.
"Why?" Ah Heng was really a little happy in his heart, S City was very close to Wushui Town, only a two-hour drive.
"I had a dream last night and dreamed of S City." The boy spoke softly, his voice languid.
"You, have you been, S City?" Ah Heng asked him.
"Nope." The boy shook his head.
"So, how did you dream about it?" Ah Heng was dumbfounded.
"In my dreams, someone told me that there were many beautiful women like me, a lot of delicious food and a lot of fun." The young man's mask was half withdrawn, and he smiled, his lips were ruddy, as if he had been coated with honey.
Ah Heng burst out laughing.
"Attention to the passengers of train 313, attention to the passengers of train 313......" sweet female voice.
"It's time to check in." The boy stood up, his thick gloves patting the floating ash on his backpack and slung it over his shoulder.
That backpack Ah Heng checked before, I don't know what was in it, it was very heavy.
She followed the boy, looking around with some oddity. The only means of transportation she ever took was a car, and the train was the first time a big girl got on a sedan chair.
"Don't look around, there are kidnappers." The teenager's voice under the mask sounded muffled.
Ah Heng retracted his gaze and looked at Yan Xi, a little embarrassed.
She...... Not a child.
Uniformed staff wearing white gloves stand at the ticket gate. Ah Heng happily handed the two tickets to the staff, and the staff checked the tickets with a smile, and said to Yan Xi enthusiastically: "You two sisters go out for the first time, be a sister, you have to take your sister when you go out!" β
Yan Xi's face outside the mask darkened, took the ticket, remained silent, and strode towards the platform.
Ah Heng smiled at the staff and stumbled behind Yan Xi.
It's no wonder that Yan Xi is so beautiful and wears a pink coat, most people who don't know him will recognize him as a girl. But apparently, Yan Xi was not happy.
But she didn't know that Yan Xi was not only unhappy, but also a liver fire. Since he was a child, the most annoying thing is that others recognize him as a girl.
Out of the ticket gate, Ah Heng broke out in a cold sweat, she had grown so big, and she had never seen so many people. There was a commotion on the platform, and the people of all shapes* almost drowned her.
I finally squeezed into the bus in the crowd, but most of them were blocked at the entrance of the carriage, wanting to wait for others to find a seat and leave by themselves when they were not crowded. As a result, people are of the same mind, and the more they are blocked, the more they become a mess.
At this moment, Ah Heng's tears were about to come out, and the tall and strong man next to her stepped on her foot but didn't realize it. She tried to shout a few times, but the carriage was so noisy that the other party couldn't hear it at all.
Yan Xi leaned against the window, somewhat empty, and saw that Ah Heng was squeezed so that tears were about to come out, and shouted: "Hey, I said that uncle, you are not panicked!" β
The young man's voice was quite high, but the tall and fat man heard it but didn't react, only looked at Yan Xi's big black and bright eyes and was stunned.
"!" Yan Xi was annoyed, cursed, pulled Ah Heng's arm and pulled her to his chest, holding both sides of the window with both hands, bowing slightly, leaving a gap for Ah Heng and letting her stay in his arms.
Ah Heng suddenly relaxed, looked down at the cotton shoes, and sure enough, there was a clear leather shoe print on them, and when he looked up, it was the young man's white chin.
The train was swaying, and Yanxi's pink coat sometimes rubbed lightly against the wing of her nose, it was a faint fragrance of milk, clean and cold, and her face couldn't help but turn red, and she was a little embarrassed.
After about ten minutes, the passengers gradually dispersed, and Ah Heng sighed.
Yan Xi glanced at her lightly and began to look for a seat according to the number on the ticket.
"No. 23, 24 ......"
Ah Heng pulled the corner of Yanxi's clothes and pointed to the two seats on the left, she felt that Yanxi was obviously relieved.
The boy put his backpack away and sat down in the window seat.
Ah Heng sat next to Yan Xi and looked at his watch, the hour hand was one square away from zero o'clock. The carriage is gradually becoming quieter.
The train clanged, and Ah Heng listened to the sound of the wind whistling by, feeling very tired and tired......
When she opened her eyes again, she was already sitting outside the Yun family's house.
She saw the familiar medicine stove, saw the old pampas fan in her hand, the orange fire was faint, not scorching, not warm, but it seemed to continue to lead her expectations.
Can't tell the difference of time, the big dog at home, Ah Huang, obediently lay at her feet, just like her, stopping all the rounds in this world. All she had left in her eyes was the medicine stove, waiting for herself to slowly be overwhelmed by the scent of medicine.
There's nothing wrong with living like this for the rest of your life.
Constant and permanent, but a medicine stove, a fan, no desire, no pain and sadness.
In such a vast reality with inertia, she was sure that she was dreaming. However, is her medicine stove, her Ah Huang, and her presence a dream, or the young man sitting in front of the train window, or the sad Siguan in the distant ward?
This reality is more illusory than dreams, and this dream is more real than reality. However, no matter how frightened she was in her dreams, in Yan Xi's eyes, the girl was indeed asleep, cutting off the thoughts of reality.
When this girl sleeps, she is still quiet and ordinary, not annoying or likable. Yan Xi's eyes widened, maintaining her complete self.
He had a bad habit of sleeping, demanding absolute silence around him, and if there was a hint of noise, he would rather keep his eyes open until dawn than try to fall asleep.
He couldn't tolerate the discomfort of being left unguarded by others thinking and still being around him in a sober way.
The boy sat there, leisurely looking out the window, at the white expanse rolling in and out. This is what you can see when you look at the snow in the train, the small squares, like a kaleidoscope, in the scenery that is speeding by, and the snowflakes are the background.
Suddenly, something soft fell lightly on his shoulder.
Yan Xi frowned, he hated contact with intimacy and ambiguity, it was not a cleanliness fetish, but an unconditional rejection in his heart. So, solemnly, the boy straightened the girl's head again.
Fortunately, Ah Heng slept very honestly, according to Yan Xi's fixed posture, the rules were in order, and there was no change.
When Ah Heng woke up, it was already the early morning of the second day, and she rubbed her eyes and looked at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi is still the same as yesterday, but there is a faint bloodshot in his eyes.
"You, didn't sleep?" Ah Heng's voice had a thick nasal voice that he had just woken up.
The young man glanced at her and smiled flatly: "Are you awake?" β
Ah Heng nodded.
"I'm hungry." He got up lightly and stretched, "Do you prefer pork rib noodles or beef noodles?" β
Ah Heng was stunned, she had no special preference for food, and said casually in some confusion: "Pork rib noodles." β
Yan Xi looked at Ah Heng, but his big eyes suddenly became kind, hiding the sharpness that had been fixed before.
Ah Heng didn't know why.
The boy left his seat and returned with a paper bowl in one hand.
Ah Heng hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, got up and gave Yan Xi a seat.
Yan Xi gulped down the noodles, and the corners of his mouth were stained with soup, as if he had grown a beard. Ah Heng took a small bite and looked at Yanxi while eating. The boy sucked his face louder, with a bad joke.
The travelers from all over looked at them curiously, and Ah Heng's face turned red.
"It's delicious, I like pork rib noodles the most!" Yan Xi pretended not to see it, and opened his mouth with a smile, his face flushed because of the warmth of the hot soup.
Ah Heng nodded honestly.
Yan Xi has always believed that when people get along with each other, a common language is the most important. He had never found the common ground between Ah Heng and himself before, and he consciously had a separation in his heart. Now, she also likes pork rib noodles, so she has a feeling in her heart that she is also a glutton, why should she have known each other when she meets.
And Ah Heng naturally didn't know that Yan wanted to be kind to her, just because of a bowl of pork rib noodles.
"Ahh The boy rubbed his nose, he seemed to have a cold again.
He has always been afraid of the cold, and in winter he always tries to put on his clothes, covering them tightly, preferably with zero contact with the air. Even so, I still have a cold often, and I won't stop if I don't delay it for more than ten days every time.
It is also a half-day drive from S City.
"You, sleep for a while." Ah Heng looked at the boy.
Yan Xi shook his head slightly, plain and bland, but stubborn that made people grit their teeth.
"I, looking at the bag, it's fine." Ah Heng thought that the teenager was worried about safety.
The boy ignored it, pulled on his mask, leaned his head slightly against the window, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Ah Heng looked at the young man's slender eyelashes like a stamen that he gently closed, and was a little embarrassed. After all, he took out his handkerchief, folded it, and nestled on the outside of his left hand in a snuggled position.
Compared to putting it on a hard seat, this will make your hands much more comfortable.
The boy's fingertips twitched slightly, but gradually, his fingers slowly relaxed in their resting state, sinking into the softness. He seemed to be really asleep.
Ah Heng looked down at the white jade-like fingers in the beige handkerchief and smiled slightly.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived at the station.
When he got off the train, Ah Heng thought it would be another tough battle, but fortunately, Yan Xi's eyes were big and he was quite cold when he stared at people, so he gave a green light all the way and got out of the train station smoothly.
The south and the north have a very different warm atmosphere.
Ah Heng closed his eyes lightly and took a deep breath, which was familiar with the moistness and sweetness. When I opened my eyes again, the graceful style of Jiangnan was already fixed in my eyes.
If the people in City B are in such a hurry that they don't have time to take care of the snow, then the people in City S are so leisurely that they can figure out how to walk the best.
"Now, where to go?" She tilted her head and looked at Yan Xi.
"Come with me." He spoke, looking a little tired.
Ah Heng followed silently, trusting unconditionally.
Yan Xi bought the map and pointed to the clear S Lake on it and said, "Is there a boat on here?" β
Ah Heng laughed and nodded.
"Are there any B&Bs on board?"
"Yes."
The young man's eyes lit up instantly, and he said excitedly: "Really?" I thought it was only on TV. Let's go. β
Ah Heng frowned, a little hesitant: "However, if you haven't sat on it, you will get seasick." β
"Is there anything good to eat on board?"
Heng nodded.
"Is there a view?"
Again.
"Are there any beauties?"
Three.
"Faint and die." The boy smiled.
The so-called Yanxi, there are three good things in life, one loves food; Second, love the beautiful scenery; Three love beauty. And among these three loves, beauty is particularly important.
It's a pity that life is not as good as it should be. After eight years of anti-Japanese war, the beauty he liked did not arrive, and he only married a daughter-in-law who could cook food but was inconspicuous, and barely enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the Champs-ElysΓ©es Avenue full of shit.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
