Chapter 195: The Desert
The dark streets, the cold wind, a few cars speeding by, bringing up a layer of dead leaves on the road, the leaves were crushed by the wheels, or flying, or broken, just like this helpless life, unable to control the fate of the upside-down.
I tightened my coat, turned around slowly, and saw Wang Ling carrying a bag, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, the dark fragrance was surging, the water was rippling, and there was a trace of tiredness on her delicate cheeks, it turned out that she would also be tired, I thought to myself in my heart.
The two of us looked at each other like this for a minute, no one spoke, I seemed to recognize myself more clearly in her ambiguous eyes, I must not be led by her nose, my career has just begun, there are so many people behind my back silently encourage me, cheer for me, at this juncture, if I do something out of the ordinary, I will definitely lose my personality and lose my reputation.
"Are you going to stand like that?"
She was the first to break the silence, the evening breeze howled by, blowing her hair, she clasped her arms and stroked it up and down a few times, obviously intolerant of the cold, and a little shaken.
I put my hands in my pockets and whispered: "Miss Wang, I'm going back, I still have a lot of work to do tomorrow, I can't compare with you, you were born with a golden key in your mouth, but if I want to survive in this city, I must rely on my own efforts, and..."
I cleared my throat, feeling a little dry and sore since I was choked by the strong man.
"Also, I thought you were a very kind, very righteous, dare to love and hate girl, but I didn't expect you to be so dead and arrogant, shameless, I saw that you were a girl, and I didn't say anything too ugly, but you still coerced and seduced, and followed closely step by step, which has touched my bottom line, I don't like you, and I don't want to be with you, I said it clearly, but you pretended to be confused, which made me very disgusted, don't come to me in the future, and tell your bodyguards to stay away from me."
"Bodyguards? What a bodyguard, why did you say something inexplicable, I didn't understand a word. ”
I glanced at her, and saw that she looked confused, and her beautiful eyes blinked and blinked, as if confused by my words.
There was a taxi not far ahead, I walked to the side of the road, waved my hand, the car slowly stopped in front of me, I got into the car without looking back, and was about to close the door The moment I heard Wang Ling shouting: "I won't give up, I will prove it to you, I believe you are a good person." ”
Sitting in the car, I suddenly remembered Xue Xinyan, took out my mobile phone, found Xinyan's phone number, and dialed it directly.
The prompt sounded for a long time, and just as she was about to hang up, Xinyan answered the phone.
"Hey, Xinyan, I..."
I coughed dryly, rubbed my aching neck, and continued, "Xinyan, I miss you, come back, okay?" ”
She didn't squeak, just listened quietly, and didn't seem to be impressed by my pleas.
"Xinyan, we have been doing so many years, don't you know what my Wang Tao is like, I will definitely handle these trivial matters properly, please believe me."
The sound of her steady breathing came from the other side of the phone, this voice was so familiar, so gentle, I sniffled, and continued: "I only love you in this life and this life, and this is something that no one can change, so..."
"I'm leaving."
She suddenly said such a sentence out of mind, and I was confused and puzzled when I heard it.
She paused, and then whispered, "I'm going to accompany her to a foreign heart review, and..."
"And is there any preparation for her wedding?"
I asked without thinking, I felt that the noble lady was really a poisonous scorpion, and at this juncture, since she had kidnapped Xinyan morally on the grounds of marriage and medical treatment, she was taken out of the country.
Xinyan said lightly: "Yes, I accompany her abroad this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back, you have to take care of yourself." ”
"But you don't have to go with her."
I asked anxiously, as if there were thousands of pounds of stone squeezing in my heart, which made me feel extremely dull.
Xinyan didn't answer directly, but just said softly: "Good night, take care." ”
"Xinyan, Xinyan, hey..."
Xinyan hung up the phone, my heart was like a knife, the pain was unbearable, and it was extremely sore.
The car passed through an urban village, where the streets were dirty and the houses were depressed and dilapidated, but due to the low rent, there were many outsiders living here, they came from all over the world, all over the country, and some even moved with their families, men, women and children, three generations in the same house, crowded in a dilapidated house of less than 40 square meters, just to stand firm in this noisy city and realize their dreams.
Whenever I pass by this place, I think of my hometown, where the mountains and rivers used to be beautiful and the grass was green, but due to the development and expansion of the city, the streams have turned into rotting silt, the trees have been cut down, and even the hills have been overturned by heavy machinery and turned into toothy garbage heaps.
The development and change of the city is the same, just as the view in dialectical materialism, everything in the world is moving forward, this is an objective law, can not be changed, the peasants in the towns and villages are eager to come to the big city, work hard here, and realize their dreams, the residents of the city, eager to return to the basics, leave this noisy place, come to nature, eat fresh vegetables, drink pure spring water, so, the siege appeared.
I returned to the basement, and as soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw Brother Za and Qin Tong sitting on a bench, holding wine glasses, their cheeks were red, and there were several plates of cooked food on the table, pig's trotters in sauce, pig's head meat, fried hairtail, spicy duck head, and a plate of sweet and sour peanuts.
I swallowed, walked quickly to the scumbag and sat down, grabbed a pig's trotter and nibbled on it.
"Yo, isn't this Chen Shimei, how about it, isn't the plum blossom fragrance outside?"
Brother Scumbag said in a weird way, he held the wine glass, took a sip lightly, and added: "It seems that he is hungry, didn't that little beauty invite you to a big meal?" ”
"Brother scum, I saw it with my own eyes, he held the woman in his arms, his eyes were ambiguous, and he almost drooled, that look like a hungry wolf, it was really disgusting to me."
Qin Yan began to fan the flames next to him, he glanced at me, and when he saw that I didn't refute, he added more courage to him, he slowly stood up and teased: "Xinyan is so good to you, since you have done such a shameless thing, what kind of face do you have..."
I kicked him in the ass and said angrily, "Can you please stop talking about this and reversing black and white." ”
I pulled out a tissue, wiped my hands, looked at Brother Scumbag and said, "Brother Scum, I will deal with this matter clearly, there are a lot of misunderstandings in it, and I hope you can understand me." ”
Brother scumbag hiccuped, and said hoarsely: "Wang Tao, I heard Qin Yan say that the girl should have good looks, a figure, and a lot of money, this is what they call Bai Fumei, but you have to remember that now this society is full of temptations and traps, if you are not careful, you will fall into it and can't extricate yourself, Xinyan is a good girl, she can forgive you for everything, but only cheating, not only her, but also being friends, will also be ashamed of your behavior." ”
Brother Scumbag talked to me a lot with the strength of wine, I am used to his chatter and lamentation, I understand the reason, I can't explain to him what I did wrong, or forced, or full of helplessness, but I know that Brother Scum will understand me, just as I believe in myself.
Qin Yan was staggering and slurred, he didn't dwell on this matter, but picked up his mobile phone, clicked on Yun Shuchen's live broadcast room, amplified the volume, and looked at it stupidly.
I saw that in the mobile phone screen, Yun Shuchen held a brush in his hand, and wrote a line of sonorous and powerful characters on a piece of rice paper, I squinted my eyes, looked at the line of words and said, "What are these words reading?" ”
Qin Yan glanced at me and muttered, "This is called helpless flowers falling, illiterate." ”
I picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and felt a little dizzy, Brother Scumbag gently patted me on the shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Don't drink it, what are your plans for tomorrow?" ”
I rubbed my dry eyes and said lightly: "I need to unload the goods tomorrow, and then contact the decoration company and ask them to quote a price and prepare to start the decoration." ”
I put down my glass and lit a cigarette, obviously feeling hungry, but after two glasses of wine, I felt that I had no taste for anything.
"If you don't have enough manpower, you can say something, anyway, the business in the market is also very bleak, and your store must be renovated before the year, so as not to affect the opening of business after the year."
After Brother Scum, he glanced at Qin Yan and said in a low voice: "Now the two of you have to work together and endure more hardships, so that you are not afraid of difficulties and dangers in the future." ”
All three of us had drunk so much that night that I collapsed on the bed, and before I could take off my clothes, I had already fallen asleep.
In my dream, I came to a dry desert in a trance, it was very hot, and the fiery red sun hung in the sky, draining the whole desert of water, except for a desolate sand dune, and occasionally a few vultures flew by, looking for prey that was about to starve to death.
In the yellow sand, some white bones can often be seen, and a poisonous scorpion crawls around the stick bone, and when it sees me coming, it quickly burrows into the gap between the bones and disappears.
I looked at the desert and saw the undulating sand dunes stretching out, and on the horizon there seemed to be a building, but it was too far away to be seen.
Sweat soaked through my clothes, like washed water, sticky to my skin, making me feel uncomfortable, I gritted my teeth and walked towards the building that seemed to be nothing.
I don't know how long it took, but the building seemed to be the same as before, untouched and vague, but it stood there distinctly, like a treasure full of temptation, attracting the tireless traveler.
"Mirage?"
I let out a voice full of doubts in my heart, with a faint resoluteness in my voice and a little confusion.
I licked my chapped lips and frowned, feeling like I had never felt so hopeless and fearful.
The blazing sun evaporated the last trace of moisture from my body, but it didn't stop, just blindly baked and burned, leaving me completely in the dark, unable to struggle, unable to scream.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Ah, why is your head so hot? ”
I wanted to open my eyes, but the corners of my eyes and eyelashes were covered with sticky tears, like glue, gluing the eyelashes to my eyelids tightly, but I could hear that it was the scum brother calling me, I smiled tiredly, and fell into a deep sleep.
