Chapter 25: Old Scenes I
"Really want to know?"
I nodded vigorously and without hesitation.
"What if you know and regret it?"
If you regret it, can you forget all the unpleasant things?
People may often say that if there is a medicine in this world, it is better to forget all the unhappy things after taking it. But how can a person who has not experienced hardships and setbacks grow?
If I didn't know anything, I would just be Qi Sheng, not Wu Ning.
Even my father - I can't remember.
He didn't seem surprised, and there was a hint of clarity in his smile: "I knew that your temper can't be changed, it's more stubborn than a stone." ”
He reached over and gently covered my eyes.
All of a sudden, the light in front of me was gone, and I just felt heavy on my head and unsteady on my feet.
There was a little light flickering, like fireflies in a summer night, one bright, one dark, faint.
I instinctively followed that little light and walked forward, and suddenly my eyes lit up.
"Wu Ning, Wu Ning, go to sleep quickly, don't rub it off, you have to get up early tomorrow morning and hurry - you say, what is Tujiazhuang like?"
Wu Zhen combed two braids, wore a pair of soft silk trousers, sat on the dressing table, and took off the earrings.
I shook my head: "I haven't been either." ”
"Didn't my stepfather say that?"
"He just said, it's right to let us find the tallest and biggest one. It seems that this Tu Shibo is really not an ordinary face-loving person. ”
"What do people want to live their lives, then you say, don't lose face, what do you want?"
I was stunned by Wu Zhen's question, and thought for a while: "I think...... There are many things, much more important than face. ”
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't argue with you about this, go to sleep."
She blew out the candles and went to bed and lay down outside me.
It's a strange feeling. It was as if there were two consciousnesses in my body. One is Wu Ning in the past, and the other is Qi Sheng in the present. But the words and actions made seem so compatible, as if they should be like this, the two consciousnesses, in fact...... The same person.
We got up early the next morning and went on the road, and for the convenience of the road, we dressed as men, and I had a large soft hat with a hanging brim in my luggage, which was bright green. This hat doesn't show any men and women, and it shouldn't show its feet. But Wu Zhen took a look at it, and then took out his hat with a smile. I found another brown silk hat and put it in it.
"You're such a layman, but you still go out often. Which man do you see wearing a green hat on his head? ”
I thought about it, and sure enough, but I also pointed at her and smiled: "And say me, why did you put the earrings on again?" ”
"Ahh Yes......" She reached out and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, it's not that I'm sloppy, isn't this the first time I've gone far away." She took off the earrings in front of the mirror and put them away, and we went out arm-in-arm, with only two small and thin baggage.
The father stood in front of the courtroom. His expression was indifferent, and he only told us to be careful about everything. Wu Zhen couldn't wait, and after going down the mountain, he urged the car to hurry up and faster. The handlebar style who was hired laughed outside: "The two little masters really haven't been out of the house." The car is already the fastest at this point, and the wheels have to turn off no matter how fast it is. ”
Wu Zhen muttered: "It's so slow, when will you be able to get to Yuanling." ”
"If you go to Yuanling to change ships, according to the strength of my livestock's feet, you will be allowed to go to Bahuang Town the day after tomorrow. When you get there, you two will have to change boats, and one boat will go straight to the mouth of the Yuanling River. It couldn't be faster. As long as the wind is good and the sails are pulled, the boat is fast and steady, much better than my broken car. ”
Wu Zhen's little face turned red with excitement, and he pulled my sleeve and shook it: "I haven't been on a boat yet!" It must be interesting! ”
"It's very depressing to take the boat, and the cabin on the ship is so big that it makes people uncomfortable." The handlebar said: "I used to follow the cargo ship, and I just wanted to scream on the ship, and I sat for a day or two, and after a long time, the gods couldn't hold it back." ”
There are many loud and loud words in the handlebar style, and he is not bored at all when he talks like this along the way. Wherever he went outside, the names of places, villages and towns, and any celebrities and anecdotes, he treasured them all. When we got off the bus in Bahuang Town, in addition to the agreed car money, I gave one more. The handlebar thanked and thanked, looked at the people around him, and whispered: "Actually, you two are girls' families, I have already seen it, I'm afraid that the people next to me can also see it, this world is very chaotic, the two of you live in a hotel, hire a boat, and eat food, but you have to be careful." ”
We thanked him and parted ways at the river crossing. A short and thin man greeted him, laughed with him, and nodded and bowed: "Two sons, do you want to hire a boat?" I wonder if the two of you are going north or south? My name is Li Chang, I was born here and grew up here, and no one can be more suitable than me when it comes to who knows this ferry the most. If there is anything useful, you two are welcome, just ask. ”
Wu Zhen and I glanced at each other and slowly negotiated the price with him, how much it cost to hire a boat alone, and how much it cost to ride with others. What is the price of the big ship, what is the price of the small boat, Li Chang really didn't brag, he said it like a treasure. After we looked at the boat and negotiated the price, Wu Zhen suddenly leaned close to my ear and said, "I'm afraid that this Li Chang is not right, you look at his eyes, he is always turning around, and he always looks at people as if he wants to see through how much money you have in your pocket...... If we don't give him that money, what kind of face do you think he will have on us? ”
"There are many such people, if you go out often in the future, it will be much rarer than this." I also don't like that Li Chang's mouth, the dead can be said to be alive, but we have seen the boat, looking at the new ship, it should not be two years after it was launched, the boatman is a vice loyal and generous face, a square face, the perennial wind blows Japan to make a living on the ship, the back is a little rickety, the skin is dark, and there are many wrinkles.
Wu Zhen felt that everything was new when he got on the ship, but no matter how much he cleaned up in the cabin, there was a fishy smell, so I put aside a roll of the bedding in the original room and opened the bedding we had brought with me. Wu Zhen lay on the porthole and looked out, and from time to time she turned back and called me to look out together, and when she was satisfied, her hair was blown by the river breeze before she retracted her head, I had already made the bed, and the house was simply wiped again. When I was at home, although there were a few old servants, I didn't need to clean the laundry and kitchen, but I was still not used to other people's affairs in my own house, so I did it myself.
"Huh? Did you bring a futon with you? ”
"yes."
"You don't feel too heavy."
I smiled: "If it is Shen, it means that the practice is not in the right way, and when I come back, I will teach you the mantra again, and you can try again." ”

No, I have to fix it! I'm almost an American by now! Wilting during the day, thief spirit at night.
