Chapter 41: The Four Precepts Published
After spending two days in Wuhan with Huahua, we went back to Sichuan together. Because I bought a ticket temporarily, I didn't buy a sleeper, so I had to go home in a hard seat.
Even so, Huahua was very happy and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. From time to time, he giggles and giggles. Every time I asked her what she was laughing at, she didn't say anything, she just said she wanted to laugh and laughed.
When the train stopped in Xiangfan, Huahua excitedly said to me, "Is this the Xiangfan beef noodles we ate in Wuhan?" ”
I replied, "Yes." ”
"I thought the founder was called Xiangfan......"
I had a black line on my face, ready to tell Huahua about the history of Xiangfan. "Xiangfan was called Xiangyang ...... in ancient times"
I haven't given full play to my cultural expertise, and Huahua's excitement suddenly fell from the sky to the ground, "Did Guo Jing and Huang Rong die here back then?" Woohoo......"
You change your face faster than netizens flipping through online novels?!
"That's fiction, it's pure fiction!" I reminded her on the side.
Later, Xiangfan changed back to Xiangyang, but Huahua never came to Wuhan by train again, and she didn't see the vigor and dazzling words of Xiangyang at the railway station.
At that time, it was more than 20 hours to drive from Wuhan back to Sichuan. At night, Flowey leaned her head on my shoulder to sleep. Although I felt that something was wrong, it didn't stop it. A girl who sits in a hard seat for more than 20 hours, do I still have to ask others to sit upright?
It's also too much to sail in the toilet - a little too much.
The head rests on the shoulder, and sometimes it slips suddenly because of the bumps of the train. Sleepy-eyed, Flowey suddenly grabbed my arms with both hands, and then rested her head firmly on my shoulder.
Flowey's behavior made me a little embarrassed for a while. I feel like this kind of behavior has gone beyond being a friend. But when I saw that Huahua was asleep, and thinking that there was no one I knew in the carriage, I didn't peel Huahua's hands.
Even, after I couldn't bear it anymore, I fell asleep on Huahua's head.
The next day, I woke up with my head resting on Flowey's shoulder.
I looked up abruptly and whispered, "I'm sorry ......."
On the contrary, Flowey's face turned red.
"I'll go to the bathroom...... Flowey finished and walked towards the bathroom at the junction of the carriages.
……
The Dong'an Peach Blossom Theme Poetry Meeting was held as scheduled.
Before the meeting began, we removed Xie Xiaoqiu's seat card because he or she did not show up until the last moment.
I'm glad her badge was placed on the side, so even if it was vacant, the whole room wouldn't look so obtrusive.
The editor-in-chief welcomed all the guests and delivered a generous speech.
"Today we are here to hold the first Dong'an Peach Blossom Theme Poetry Meeting, with flowers as the medium, to meet friends, on behalf of the "Dong'an Lakeside" magazine to express a warm welcome and sincere thanks to all the guests...... Dong'an is seizing the major historical opportunity of Jincheng City to develop eastward, peach blossom is Dong'an's famous cultural business card, industrial business card, hope that through our voice, we can make Dong'an's peach blossom fragrance farther, so that Dong'an's tomorrow is more brilliant......"
I have to admit that Editor-in-Chief Zheng, who has been the deputy director of the agency for half his life, does have the charisma of the director...... This speech and this speech are too government-like.
I only had the right to sit in the back row of the venue, which also gave me room to wander and play with my phone.
I was just playing around with my phone when I noticed a new email alert. It is customary to open it for the first time, and the letter is Xie Xiaoqiu.
Xie Xiaoqiu expressed his regret and apologies for not being able to participate in today's event in the email, as for the reason, it really makes me angry, time does not allow.
I didn't even finish reading the email before I quit the email app.
I have already decided to block Xie Xiaoqiu in my heart.
I just played for a while, and I received Erya's WeChat again. Erya said that the magazine was looking for me, and I was told by the front desk that the magazine was holding a Dong'an peach blossom theme poetry meeting today, and I was there. The scene is at the Kapok Hotel across the street.
"In a hurry?" I replied to Erya's WeChat, "If you're not in a hurry, I'll make an appointment with you after the event." ”
"There's no hurry." Erya replied to me, "Then I'll wait for you at a dessert shop called Yibo Yuntian by Dong'an Lake, and come over directly after you finish there." ”
Then Erya quickly sent me a location for Yibo Yuntian.
I was a little confused.
What do you mean? Huahua only followed me a few days ago at the Art Fair Yun Tianyi Bo Yuntian, Erya, where are you going to make trouble today?
What did Huahua tell Erya about ten years ago?
Or is Erya going to tell me about another version from ten years ago?
I couldn't stand waiting for an answer, so I said hello to the people around me and slipped out early.
When Yibo Yuntian met Erya, she was quietly eating dessert. She had an unnamed book at hand, but she didn't look through it.
"The event is over so soon?" Erya asked in surprise when she saw me appear.
"I slipped out early," I replied, "what are you looking for me?" ”
I sat down directly opposite Erya, and the waiter hurried over.
"What do you want, sir?"
"Same as her."
It's my habit. If it's not for eating and drinking, just so that the guests won't look at you strangely when they sit there, or the boss won't drive you away, if you're alone, you mean that the guest is also alone, and it's the same as him; If you have a companion, choose to be the same.
You don't have to think about it, and you save time.
After the waiter left, Erya pushed the book in front of me.
"Qin Lang's autobiography, you can give me a title and write a preface or something."
If I hadn't been facing Erya, but a mirror, I would have been able to see my jaw dropping.
"Is the Four Rings really autobiography?" I asked.
"The gunman approached me for the finale." Erya's tone was calm, "I just knew he really did it." I thought that since I had already written it, I would spend some more money to give it to him, and it would be considered the fulfillment of one of his last wishes. If the time is fast, burn it for him in 100 days, and if the time is slow, burn it for him on the anniversary. ”
"Have you seen it?" I took the book and asked.
Erya shook her head. "I haven't seen it, and I don't want to see it."
I originally wanted to turn the book to read two pages, but when I heard Erya say this, I didn't have the courage to open it for the time being.
At the beginning, I clearly refused to be a gunman for Sijie, and I also warned Sijie not to write an autobiography. Now that the people are gone, my original insistence is meaningless.
"Okay, I promise you." I said to Erya.
Sometimes I'm still very idealistic. I would have thought, if I had promised the four precepts and helped him ghostwrite his autobiography, would he not have had an accident?!
Facts cannot be assumed.
History cannot be repeated.
Promising to name and preface the autobiography of the Four Precepts is not so much a wish to fulfill the Four Precepts as a regret to fulfill oneself.
Erya's doubts were solved, and it was not a matter of urgency or a major event, so I decided to rush back to the event site.
"That ......," I said a little hesitantly, "our theme poetry will continue, and I need to rush back first." ”
"Can I go and hear it?" Seeing that I was leaving, Er Ya got up from her chair and said to me.
"Yes."
I immediately asked the waiter to pay for it.
At this time, Yu Hua came out. Holding two hundred-yuan bills in his hand and stuffing them into me, "You don't have to pay for the dessert yet, and you should return the 200 yuan to your friend." ”
Yu Hua said it to me with a smile, and I couldn't refuse.
Erya is by my side, I don't want Erya to know too much, so I don't have any extra words. After taking the money and smiling and thanking Yu Hua, he and Erya walked out of the dessert shop and towards the Kapok Hotel.
