[699] Huilong Town
The place where I have lived with my master for more than ten years is actually Huilong Town, Da'an District, Zigong City. In the past, transportation was underdeveloped. The car has been driving for a long time. Now it seems that Zigong is not very far from Chengdu. It's only two or three hours at most. But even then I haven't been back for a long time. Because the master is not here. It's not interesting for me to go back.
The next day, I said hello to Su Daji and went out. Carrying a backpack. Wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of jeans and going out. I took a taxi to the bus station in Chengdu after I went out. It was already about nine o'clock. I bought a ticket to Zigong and got on the bus. Of course, there was a small episode in the middle that the Son of Heaven Sword security check was troublesome. But in the end, I showed my paranormal investigation team's credentials before I was released.
Time in the bus is actually quite boring. The only pleasure I had before was sleeping. But now I've just fallen asleep. No matter how good I can sleep, I can't sleep like this. I'm not a pig. The road is much better now than before. I still remember spending an afternoon from Zigong to Chengdu when I was just starting college. Now it's two hours away.
As soon as I got out of the car, a rush of heat. It was noon. It's exactly the hottest time. There are not many people in the station either. I walked out of the station and looked left and right. Really. It's changed a lot. There are more high-rise buildings. And the streets and stuff look much better.
I didn't stay either. I recruited a taxi and went directly to Huilong Town, Da'an District. The master looks to be in his forties. Very welcoming. As soon as I got in the car I asked, "Boy. You're coming back from work."
I smiled and nodded. This master is very enthusiastic. Later, when I talked about it, he turned out to be from Da'an District. It is the town of Tuanjie next door to Huilong Town. It was a good chat for a while.
This master drives fast. After arriving in Huilong Town, I said hello and left. Huilong Town is not big. Together with the population of the countryside, it is only a little more than 30,000. There are only a little more than 10,000 people in the town. 10,000 people is probably a lot. But when you think about it, it's not much. In the middle of Huilong Town is a crossroads. Then four blocks of southeast, northwest, and northwest. The tallest house is only five floors. It doesn't look good.
The place where I got off was East Street. I'm familiar with Dragon Town this time. After all, it's such a big place. I've been doing this for more than ten years. The people in these four streets, south, east, west, and west basically know me. But when I got out of the car, the people just looked at me. No greetings. It's not that they're not enthusiastic. It's just that I've changed too much. I've only been back four or five times since college. I haven't been on the street for anything.
I look at the streets around me and feel nostalgic. The last time I came back, it seemed that I saw the letter that my master had left for me. Then I went to Harbin. Then I met Cui Zuofei. It should have been four years. It's all gone. Is.
I shook my head. Touched his chin. It's good to empty my beard this morning. It's pretty mental, too. The place where I got off was a commissary. I still remember that it was an old man named Grandpa Liu who was visiting the store here. When I was a kid, I used to go to this commissary to steal snacks. But this Grandpa Liu is very good to me. Every time, I just say two words. Of course. He was the one I was most afraid of. Every time you scold me Habao.
I rubbed my head and walked to the door. Looking at the store, it turned out to be a little girl about twenty years old. Not very pretty. There are still a little freckles on the face. With a small braid. I turned to the little girl and said, "Little girl. Bring me a cigarette."
"Yes. Which kind of handsome guy do you want?" This little girl speaks a mouthful of Sichuan dialect. I also spoke Mandarin in Harbin. It hasn't changed since then. That's good.
"Take a piece of China." I laughed a little. Pull out seven of a hundred from your wallet. The girl laughed and said, "Handsome guy. We don't have China at all. The best is twenty-one packs of Yuxi."
"Get me four." I took out another two hundred. The girl nodded. I turned around and flipped it up. I also walked in. It's a bit damp inside. And a little bit of a mildew smell. I casually asked, "Girl. Why isn't Grandpa Liu here?"
"Oh. You say my grandfather. He died last year. You still know him. Handsome guy, you don't seem to be a local." This girl is quite straightforward. Just say die. I laughed a little and said in my native dialect: "Which one says it also. I'm teasing is back to the dragon town drop. It's just that hey, it's been a long time." I'm also a little lost in my heart. Thinking that the most vicious old man Liu in my mind was actually dead. Time flies.
This little girl has very sharp hands and feet. Soon four jade streams were turned out. I took the cigarette and opened it, handed the little girl a pack, and said, "I feel guilty for not having time to ask Grandpa Liu to smoke a pack of cigarettes. I hope you will burn this bag to him the next time you serve incense. Thank you."
"Oooh. It's fine." The little girl took the cigarette and nodded. Then I walked out of the commissary. I definitely didn't want to smoke so many cigarettes myself. It's going to be given to the people of these streets. It's not about showing off. It's just that my master and I were quite poor at the beginning. The people on the street also often help us. I can't have much in return though. But to be a human being, you have to be grateful. A pack of cigarettes still has to be handed over.
Then I went from house to house down the street. There are a lot of people I can't name anymore. But they see me. After a little look, you can call out my nickname. These neighbors used to call me a little bastard. Because I'm one of the naughtiest kids on the street. It is common to steal chickens and dogs and peek at little girls taking baths.
These neighbors are very welcoming. They all invited me to come in and sit for a while. I don't postpone either. All go in and chat. They also said I grew up. Out of breath. I just giggled. I suddenly thought about it. I'm also homecoming. I knew I would come back without a T-shirt. It's time to buy a few good clothes. But if you think about it, in front of these simple neighbors, I guess the T-shirt and those luxurious clothes feel similar. That is, the price is more expensive. Just dress to keep you warm.
Originally, I thought that the cigarettes I bought would not be enough. But obviously I'm thinking too much. Because a lot of people in this town don't smoke. Even if it's smoked, it's a smoked old smoke. A lot of people just I'm too enthusiastic to give them. They took it for the sake of face. But they were all happy. Basically, they will say that the little bastard is out of luck. I also know that cigarettes are delivered.
