Chapter 158: A Pair of Chopsticks

What? I stood up from the sofa all of a sudden, I couldn't believe my ears, wasn't Xiao Liu okay two days ago?

"When we came back from "playing" outside this morning, we found that Xiao Liu had hanged himself in the dormitory! The police are now going to question all the people who have been in contact with him recently......"

"Oh...... I'll go over right away......"

When I came to the police station, I found that Lao Gu and Lao Qian had left, and the police asked me a little bit about it alone, such as what I was doing from last night to today, whether there was any conflict with Xiao Liu, and whether I noticed anything unusual about him.

I told me everything I knew, and I stayed at Yexiangfang until about eleven o'clock last night, and after the police called me to inquire about the situation, they took me out and told me to keep the communication open so that I could be contacted at any time.

Later, I found out that when Lao Gu and them went out to "relax" last night, Xiao Liu did not follow, so when Lao Gu and they came back this morning, they found that Xiao Liu had hanged himself in the dormitory.

The reason why I committed suicide is because I found a very scribbled suicide note on the bed, which said that I had lost confidence in society and felt that I was tired of living.

I walked out of the police station with a heavy heart, there was a lingering fog lingering in my heart, combined with what happened in the past two days, Xiao Liu's death must not be simple, I even suspect that it is because only he saw the appearance of the perpetrator, so those people will choose to kill people!

And their purpose is me! Xiao Liu died because of me...

"Xiaohe, are you alright?"

As soon as he left the police station, Li Su greeted him with a concerned face.

I was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Li Su said with concern when he heard this: "The police station will call me and ask you about your situation today, and then I heard that someone died, so I can't worry about you, so hurry up and take a look!" ”

"Oh," I felt warm, and at the same time a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry for the trouble." ”

"Don't say that, get in the car!" Li Sutian smiled quietly: "Let's go, it's not early, you invited me to dinner at noon, and I invited you to eat in the evening, just take it as an apology for what happened that day......

"That day?"

"That's right......" Li Su looked at me with wide eyes, her eyelashes were long and dense: "You forgot ...... that night"

Li Su's face turned red, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Now I understood, and nodded......

The car started, and Li Su drove me away.

Just after we left, there was a red Mazdali on the side of the road, and Sister Hui was sitting in the car all the time, and everything that happened just now was watched by her.

After being stunned for a moment, she raised her hand and started the car and drove back alone......

No one can understand the loneliness in my heart......

。。。。。。

In Shibei District, which is approaching the evening, the streets are particularly lively and congested.

On the way, I said that I would return the bail to Li Su, but she refused to accept anything, so she insisted on asking for this meal.

After arguing for a while, I saw that I was resolute, so I had to agree.

It took us nearly an hour to come to a western restaurant.

That's right, the western restaurant......

I...... I've never been here before, and as soon as I entered, I felt like a turtle.

The atmosphere in the restaurant is elegant, the music is soothing, and the people who come to eat seem to behave appropriately and talk extraordinary.

As for how to eat this meal, I won't describe it, anyway, after eating this meal, I realized that what was played on TV was not entirely true, and there were chopsticks in Western restaurants, as long as you wanted, the waiter would smile and hand you a pair of chopsticks.

Also, it's like going abroad, it's all about tipping.

After a meal, it cost me more than 3,000 yuan, of which the bottle of wine was 1,000 ......

Of course, it is said that this is still Li Su's noble hand, and there is nothing expensive.

After eating, Miss Li's face was not very good-looking, and after I checked the bill, I found that she had already walked out of the door, and hurriedly followed behind.

Along the way, Li Su didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while...

Since people don't speak, we have to take the initiative to order: "Inner ......" I rubbed my hands: "Is this meal okay?" ”

After a moment of silence, Li Su replied faintly: "I will never come here to eat with you in the future......"

"Uh" I was confused: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's the first time I've seen a ...... who needs chopsticks to eat Western food."

"You don't understand that, do you?" I said seriously: "Chopsticks are particular!" ”

Li Su parked the car on the side of the road, turned his head to look at me, and quietly watched me pretending to be ......

Is this trying to see me make a fool of myself? How can we Shilipu youths be embarrassed outside?

I cleared my throat and muttered, "The standard length of chopsticks is seven inches and six minutes, which means that people have seven emotions and six desires, to show that humans and animals are fundamentally different. ”

"Some people are very envious of Westerners who eat with knives and forks, and think that this posture and demeanor look tasteful."

"But after learning it, I only use it occasionally. Chinese who use knives and forks in daily life must be strange. ”

Speaking of this, I realized that I had said the wrong thing, and quickly looked at Li Su, and found that she didn't care, but looked at me with interest......

I thought about it again before continuing: "Knives and forks are tools that only come after metallurgy has matured. And metallurgy was only invented in the fifteenth century, and before it was widely used in daily life, Westerners actually ate with their hands, you think about that picture......"

"In contrast, the history of the civilization of chopsticks is obviously much longer."

"The point is, there are two chopsticks, but the title is a pair. Calling the waiter in the restaurant to "get a pair of chopsticks" must be Chinese; ”

"If you say, "Let's take two chopsticks," it must be a foreigner. ”

"Why is it called a pair of chopsticks when it is two chopsticks? There is the concept of Tai Chi and Yin and Yang. ”

"Tai Chi is one, Yin and Yang are two; One is two, and two is one; One contains two, and two are combined into one. This is the philosophy of our Chinese, and they Westerners don't understand it at all. ”

"When using chopsticks, pay attention to coordination and coordination."

"One moves, one does not move, in order to clamp steadily. If both of them move, or if they don't move both, they won't be able to clamp it. This is the Chinese principle of yin and yang, and there is also the lever principle of Western mechanics. ”

"Chopsticks also have the effect of acupuncture, massage and gua sha. In the old days, people walked the rivers and lakes, as long as they had a pair of chopsticks on their bodies, they could massage and treat any problems by themselves. ”

"Even if you forget to bring it, you can break a branch or reed with your hand, break it, grind it on a stone, wash it in water, and you can use it."

"Both Chinese civilization and Western civilization originated from mythology."

"In the West, man and god were separated, and they relied on science to do things and religion to be a man, but China did not."

"Everything in China is all together: He Xiangu, Tie Guan Li, Lu Dongbin, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie These immortals are also people, they are in the vast sea of people; The ideal and reality, soul and body of the Chinese are also one, and there is faith in the chopsticks used every day, and every gesture is an idea. This is a kind of open-mindedness and wisdom in life. ”

As I spoke, I found that Li Su actually began to listen with her cheeks on the side, thinking that she was not very happy, so I quickly stopped.

"Go on......" Seeing that I didn't speak, Li Su said with anticipation.

"Hmm...... I don't know what to say for a while, what I just said is the Jade Box and Grandpa Zhang's annotations, the Jade Box is not only a record of supernatural things, but also a kind of folk customs.
