Chapter 130: The Pain of a Hangover
Pushing the door in, it was the waitress dressed in Hu Ren's attire, and she became worried when she saw that Sun Kai and I had been drinking for an afternoon.
She walked into the box and saw that my phone was ringing, so she answered the call for me.
"Well, well, yes, they drank too much, in Saiwai Villa, okay."
I vaguely heard Xiao Qing's voice, I was lying on the ground, and the last picture I saw was a few pairs of shoes stepping into the box, dizzy, heavy eyelids, slowly closing my eyelids, endless darkness came to me, sinking, falling, fearful, melancholy.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I found myself lying on a soft bed, and when I moved slightly, my whole body was sore, my headache was severe, and my mouth was dry.
I struggled to sit up, and found that all but one of my trousers had been stripped of all but one of my trousers.
I found a pair of shorts and put them on, opened the door, went to the kitchen, took a glass of cold water, and drank it gurgling.
The sky was white, and I stood in front of the window, and saw the horizon in the distance, and the dawn of the sun broke out, dyed the clouds red, illuminated the earth, and awakened all creatures.
Hearing the door open, I turned around and walked slowly to the living room, where I sat on the couch, rubbing my temples with my hands, the lingering alcohol still disturbing my thoughts, and the severe headache made me moan softly.
Dad walked out of the bedroom, he glanced at me, then went into the bathroom to make it convenient, a moment later, I heard the sound of water flushing the toilet, the bathroom door opened, Dad washed his hands, walked to the living room, picked up the cigarette case on the coffee table, lit a cigarette, and sat down next to me.
"That's how you drink when you're out and about?"
Dad sighed, nestled in the corner of the sofa, half-reclining, and his tone was a little stern.
I didn't say a word, I lit a cigarette, and the smoke went into my lungs, and my stomach instantly turned over and spasmed.
I retched, hurriedly extinguished my cigarette, ran to the bathroom, and lay on the toilet spitting sour water.
"What's wrong, are you alright?"
My mother came out of the bedroom when she heard the sound, patted me lightly on the back twice, and when she saw my face full of pain and an expression that life was worse than death, she complained again: "Oh, why did I drink so much wine, it hurts my body, I'll go make a pot of porridge and eat something." ”
After the mother finished speaking, she went to the kitchen and began to prepare breakfast.
I washed my face by the sink and felt empty in my stomach, and I frowned and went back to my bedroom, lying on my bed and dying, exhausted and exhausted.
When I was struggling with a hangover, the phone rang, I turned over weakly, picked up my phone at the bedside to check, it was a call from the scumbag, I was surprised two seconds later, and answered the phone.
"Hey, scumbag."
I spoke weakly, breathlessly, and my voice hoarse.
"Did you drink too much again yesterday?"
Brother Scum instantly heard my voice after a hangover.
"Well, it's terrible."
"Is the wedding over there?"
"Well, it's over."
I sat up and rubbed my cloudy eyes.
"When will you be back?"
Brother Scum's side is surprisingly quiet, and it shouldn't be in the flea market.
"Uh, I want to stay here for a few more days and spend time with my parents, what's wrong?"
I stood up, opened the bedroom door, and walked to the balcony, where there were a few pots of flowers carefully taken care of by my mother, such as triangular plum, jasmine, yueji, peony, etc., only to see that jasmine bloomed a few small white flowers, look carefully, crystal clear, noble and elegant, I bent down and sniffed gently, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless.
"I'll inform you of something, the market in the north of the city will be rebuilt in the autumn, the warehouses and stalls will be renovated, and our goods will have to be moved."
Brother Scumbag muttered, hearing the sound of a cigarette being lit by a lighter, he took a deep breath and spit it out gently, and there was a whirring sound on the phone.
"What? Where to move to? Don't let you do business? ”
"When I moved to the market in Hexi, these two markets were contracted by one boss, and there were a lot of customers there, but the distance was a little farther."
I pursed my lips and licked my dry lips with my tongue.
"Oh, then I'll be back tomorrow."
"Well, as soon as possible, you should also hurry up and sell your goods, now that the weather is cold, and the summer clothes in your warehouse are still there, if you don't sell them, I'm afraid it will be backlogged until next year, and it will be even more difficult to sell at that time."
Brother Scum said tirelessly, I was a little gloomy and melancholy, and said softly: "Well, I know, I'll sell it when I go back." ”
After hanging up the phone, my mother shouted in the kitchen, "It's time to eat, come and drink some porridge." ”
My mother made a pot of porridge, boiled three salted duck eggs, steamed six bean paste buns, and a bottle of stinky tofu.
I sat down at the table, drank two mouthfuls of porridge, felt a pinprick pain in my stomach, I frowned, picked up another bean paste bag, and took a bite.
The dough sliced through my esophagus like swallowing a razor blade, and I broke out in a cold sweat and almost fainted.
Seeing this, my father sighed and said, "You must not drink like this when you go out in the future, you know, you are almost thirty years old, don't you have any self-discipline at all?" ”
After hearing this, my mother hurriedly rounded the field for me: "Oh, let's eat, my son doesn't want to drink, look at that Sun Kai, he doesn't even know his father when he drinks, what else do you say, Xiao Qing is his, you didn't see that the old grandson was angry last night." ”
"Mom, how did Sun Kai and I get back last night?"
I was curious about it, but I remember that there were a few people in the box, and I don't know who it was.
The old mother took a sip of porridge and said stupidly: "You two drink like that, but you can frighten the owner of the restaurant, Xiao Qing called you more than a dozen times and you didn't answer, and later said that a waiter answered the phone, and she knew that you drank too much." ”
I nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Are you both gone?" ”
Dad snorted coldly, stared at me, and whispered: "Can you not go, Xiao Qing and her husband can't drag you at all, Sun Kai has to drink, Lao Sun Tou gave him a few slaps, and then dragged him into the car, if you want me to say, you young people can't get together to drink, you have no self-control, and you slap your swollen face and become fat, don't you know how much you drink?" ”
The more my father talked, the more angry he became, and threw half of the bean paste bag into his mouth, chewing it hard.
At breakfast, the dog I was trained was bloody, and I was angry and unhappy.
I went back to the bedroom, booked a ticket for the next day's return, and saw Xue Xinyan have a WeChat message, which read: I estimate that I will return to China very late, there are some things here that will be delayed for a long time, you take care of yourself.
I was a little surprised to see this message, what she did over there was nothing more than taking care of the lady, could there be any other episodes?
I thought about it for a moment and wrote in the chat box: Is something wrong?
After thinking about it again, I felt that it was a little inappropriate to ask for a cause for everything, so I deleted those words and wrote: Well, you also have to take care of yourself, my side is fine, don't worry.
After sending it, I lay on the bed and fell asleep, and in a trance, I entered a fairyland of water and light, and my vision was blurred.
I opened my eyes wide and looked ahead, bursts of fog drifted away, and what caught my eye was a martial arts arena, with a big martial arts character printed in the center of the huge venue, the field was circular, floating in the air, and the clouds penetrated through, giving people a mysterious and unpredictable look.
A white-clothed Taoist leader stood in it, facing me, holding a whisk in his hand, closing his eyes to recuperate, wisps of white hair fluttering in the wind, and his eyebrows moving freely.
I walked over with a surprised face, and when I was about to walk in front of him, the Taoist slowly opened his eyes, and the two deep eyes were full of mysterious power, and the brown pupils exuded a terrible light.
"Where is this?"
I questioned aloud, looked at the misty arena again, and gradually became uneasy in my heart.
"What is the joy of life, what is the pain of death, the ups and downs of the world, all are dust, wealth can be geometry for a hundred years, and everyone once had the dead."
His voice was small, but clear, as if there were stereos all around, and every word he uttered could penetrate the small space.
"What do you mean?"
I frowned, took two more steps forward, and looked at him with a puzzled look on my face.
He saw that I was full of confusion, so he laughed lightly a few times, and continued: "If you want more, your heart will be scattered, and if your heart is scattered, your will will fail, and if your mind is weak, you will not reach it. ”
He spoke to himself as if he were chanting, and I didn't understand a word, I just wanted to understand why I was here.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
I lost patience, my mind was distraught, and I spoke with anxiety.
"Little donor, your life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, so have you realized any truth?"
He stood there immovable, like a white-clothed fairy in a landscape painting.
"Nope."
The cool breeze blew and I shivered, the temperature dropped, I felt like I was surrounded by ice, my teeth were fighting, and my whole body was shaking.
"Then I'll tell you."
He slowly floated in front of me like a scooter, and I looked at him with wide eyes.
"A wise person will never abandon the views of others just because he can speak well, and he must not be hypocritical in his heart, his mind must not be confused, and his thoughts must not have evil thoughts, so that he can safely overcome disasters and get rid of disasters."
He spoke neither fast nor slowly, righteously speaking, with an elusive smile on his pale cheeks, and two deep eyes full of the brilliance of a wise man.
Before I could react, he turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated into the rippling arena.
I woke up and opened the bedroom window before going to bed, and it was windy outside, pouring in a cool breeze, no wonder it was so cold.
I closed the window, sat on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette, and thought about the dream.
Why do you keep having such boundless dreams, will you encounter a catastrophe in the future?
I shook my head with a smile, even if it was a catastrophe, I didn't have to let the immortals dream for me, it was too funny, I was a faithful materialist, what fairies, devils, ghosts, ghosts, all of them would not believe.
But the dream just now was too real, and the words of the white-clothed Taoist were still gently lingering in my ears, I rubbed my dry eyes, and said with a wry smile: "What calamity, what ups and downs, just come." ”
I flicked the ash of my cigarette and stood up, intending to go to the bathroom to wash my face, when the phone rang.
I took the phone, it was Sun Kai calling, I looked at the time, it was noon, if he didn't return today, he should have slept all morning.
"Hey, Sun Kai."
I walked to the living room and saw a plate of small tomatoes on the coffee table, crystal clear, I salivated when I saw it, I took one and threw it into my mouth and chewed it, the sweet and sour juice of the tomatoes burst in my mouth, and the cool feeling crossed my esophagus, which made me feel refreshed and have an endless aftertaste.
"Yesterday, I'm sorry yesterday, I pulled you to drink too much again."
His voice was low, a little haggard and hoarse, and it seemed that yesterday's drinking party had hurt him a lot.
"Oh, it's okay, you didn't return today, did you?"
I stuffed two small persimmons into my mouth, and the sweet and sour feeling came this time, and I sat on the sofa and felt that I had eaten the holy fruit of the world, which was very refreshing.
"Well, let's leave tomorrow, do we want to get together tonight?"
I swallowed the syrup in my mouth and exclaimed, "Still, still gathered?" ”
