[004] The first pot of gold
The next day, Jiang Rong mailed the first order to the editor of a magazine. With full joy and anticipation, on the way back to the inn, a quiet smile bloomed on his pale face for the first time.
In the days of waiting for the results, her heart was calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water. She reads a comic book all day long, and occasionally goes downstairs for only a few minutes. I don't like to come into contact with anyone in this town, and I always feel that they always look at themselves with bad intentions.
There is only one cellular phone in the whole town, including the hotel. This was what she had observed when she had been bored, and had slipped out at noon and taken a spin. Looking at the telephone, for a few seconds, she almost had to call her adoptive father. But just as she walked a few steps forward, another man who was also about to call grabbed the phone first.
While the man was on the phone, he rolled his eyes and stared at Jiang Rong directly.
The other party's very straightforward eyes forced her to hurriedly lower her head and wait for a few minutes anxiously. Finally, I chose to escape, which was a few meters away from the hotel, past the dark green mailbox. Her cartoons were stuffed into the mailbox and mailed to the magazine.
There seem to be two rotating postmen in the town, wearing uniforms that are similar to the color of the mailbox. Very energetic, playing the bicycle bell all the way loudly.
The people of the town love to hear the postman's car bells, and when they hear it, they hurriedly stand at the intersection and wait. When he saw the postman coming, he hurriedly asked, "Is there a letter from my family?" ”
If there is a letter, the postman will reply openly, "Yes." When he got out of the car and took out the letter from the mail bag, when he asked the other party's name, he checked the letters one by one and handed them to the owner of the letter.
The postman usually arrives at 10 o'clock in the morning on Monday. They don't come every day, they usually come once every three or five days, and every time they come, they are followed by a group of runny children.
The kids are all from the town.
Boys love to lie on the ground and play a game of glass beads, while their parents grew up playing casserole beans.
Girls like to kick shuttlecocks, which are made of the colorful feathers on the neck of pure local chickens. They do a lot of tricks, and their hair is tied with rubber bands, ponytails. As they kicked one after another, the ends of their ponytail hair jumped one after another.
Jiang Rong observed for a long time and found a strange phenomenon. When these children were playing, there was always a girl a little younger than herself standing not far away, she stood lonely, watching the girls frolic and joke, very envious, but she did not dare to come closer.
Over time, she developed pity for the girl. I don't know if it's sympathy or sympathy, but sympathy is superfluous and curious about her, one day, she tentatively wants to get closer to the girl.
Unexpectedly, when the girl saw that she was aware of her attempt, she actually ran away.
The editor of the magazine finally wrote to her and left her contact information in the letter. She also encouraged her to continue to find inspiration, deepen the aura of the comics, and remit her remuneration for her first work.
After frustration, baldness, Monet, and low self-esteem, the first pot of gold was harvested. Jiang Rong suddenly felt that life was really meaningful, and happiness was so simple? She ran to the phone excitedly, picked up the phone excitedly, fluttered her long eyelashes, and dialed her adoptive father's house very excitedly......
In her pounding heartbeat, she was expecting a familiar cough on the other end of the phone, or a voice calling Rong Rong. But the phone rang for a long time, and there was only a beep...... Busy with a beep ......' and no one answered the call at all.
No one in the adoptive father's house? Jiang Rong secretly scolded herself for showing off her head, why did she lose the Nokia lollipop machine? It's good to be in this remote town, but you can't contact your adoptive father.
Reluctantly put down the microphone, looked at others, and couldn't wait to pick up the microphone and dial the number one by one. Her heart was so uncomfortable that when she walked out, she turned her head to look at the telephone that was holding someone else's hand.
His adoptive father, Chen Zhiqing, eventually quietly left home and went to Tongchuan County.
Along the way, he didn't know how many things he wanted to say to Zhong Kui. and also took the Zhong Kui sword with him, wanting to return it to him. Besides, the sword is still suitable for him, and it is a waste to stay by his side. When he came to the ghost hunting specialty store that he was once familiar with, he was dumbfounded.
The former shops are gone, and they have been turned into high-rise buildings. After several inquiries, no one knew Zhong Kui's whereabouts, and in the end he had to search for the memories that remained in his mind and looked for Luo Xiaoming's home.
Luo Xiaoming is busy at home. It was his mother who called him out in the field.
His mother told him that there was a rare guest named Chen Zhiqing.
"Hey!" This is amazing, Uncle Chen is here. Xiao Mingle couldn't care about his mother, so he hurriedly ran home.
Xiao Ming is married and has children. This is what Chen Zhiqing didn't expect, after he learned about vanilla and Wengen from Ran Qin's mouth, he was so sad that he didn't want to come here again, afraid that the kind of heartbreak caused by the sadness of the scene.
Xiao Ming is mature, with a fluffy beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and high trouser legs, which is very neat. looked at him with a smile and shouted, "Uncle Chen"
"Haha, you kid, look, I'm old?"
"Uncle Chen, why did you remember to come to see us?"
"I miss you!" Chen Zhiqing said, looking around, "By the way, where is your master making a fortune now?" Why didn't you come out to meet me? ”
At the mention of Master, Xiao Ming's face suddenly darkened. "Master...... Master, it's good to be in ......."
"There?" Zhiqing observed the details and found that his complexion changed, and his heart jumped. stared at him seriously, and continued to ask very carefully: "What is your old master doing?" Did you drink again? ”
Xiao Ming raised his head firmly and said seriously, "Uncle Chen, I'll take you to see Master." ”
It seemed that Zhong Kui was playing hide and seek, Zhiqing was happy, and hurriedly said: "Oh, okay, let's go, go now!" ”
Xiao Ming is in the front, and Zhiqing is in the back. The two walked to the back hill behind the house one after the other, and the latter wondered, "Xiao Ming, your master lives on the mountain?" ”
"Hmm."
"This old fellow, why do you live in the mountains?" Zhiqing continued to wonder.
Xiao Ming didn't say a word, took heavy steps, and continued to climb the rugged mountain road with Zhiqing.
The mountain breeze blew Zhiqing's gray hair, and bursts of coldness hit, looking at the barmech flowers all over the mountain. He had a sense of foreboding, and he stopped and stopped, and finally the two of them came to a tomb that was already overgrown with artemisia.
