Chapter 57: Uncle Wen commits suicide
Every word is still in my ears, and that scene is like a bubble of Coke, which finally has a chemical reaction unconsciously because of time and slowly dissipates.
Xie Zijin didn't speak, he didn't know what to say at this time? Is it like Lin You who asked why they gave up the band? Or do you want to squat on the ground and cry like Mo Xin?
Or... Like them, give up the band and study hard to get into college? Stopped being so obsessed with wanting to be great?
Every choice is so difficult, every face is so unforgettable, and finally imprinted in the sunset, becoming the most bitter memory of youth.
In the end, the Fresh Clothes Band failed to continue to be as bright and blooming as the name, and Xie Zijin walked into the sunset in silence, his shadow dragging obliquely on the ground, powerless to save everything.
Did Kong Yu do them wrong? Or did you do it wrong? Why did it come to such an end?
Xie Zijin couldn't understand why a person who had said that he would stick to his dream could leave so easily and decisively? But he could only be silent, and reason told him that he had no right to question.
Lin You followed behind him, he could hear the footsteps behind him clearly but keeping a distance from himself, as long as he turned around, he would definitely be able to see Lin Xiaoyou, she would definitely be sad but still smile and comfort herself.
He turned back to Lin You and said, "You go back first, I'll walk alone." ”
"But......" Lin You looked at him worriedly, hesitated for a few seconds and said, "If you go back like this, Grandma Xie will be worried." ”
Xie Zijin waved his hand and said that it was okay, but he just said that he wanted to stay alone for a while.
Lin You left, three steps and two turns. In the end, he disappeared from Xie Zijin's sight. At this moment, Xie Zijin suddenly felt so tired. Xie Zijin, who never disappoints, is really tired.
The evening breeze blew on his face, blowing away the tears that had just slipped. He covered his face and squatted down, some hot tears seeped out of his fingers, and the boy's sense of powerlessness exploded at this moment. At the end of the day, he's just a kid.
After the band disbanded, life seemed to be a lot quieter. Xie Zijin is still the same as before, going to Uncle Wen's bar on weekends to sing.
Uncle Wen was not very surprised when he learned the news of the band's disbandment. In his words, "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten, and I expected this day to come." ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart, Xie Zijin pressed the strings' fingers and trembled, and the tune changed the key.
Lin You didn't like this either, and grinned at Uncle Wen, "You laymen, how can you think about the importance of your thoughts?" What's the difference between no dreams and salted fish? ”
Seeing that this little girl looked like she was not afraid of heaven and earth, Uncle Wen's child's temper also came up, and she argued for her salted fish, "How good the salted fish is, you can eat it steamed, and I can eat three bowls of rice with a spoonful of beans." ”
"Uh...... You're not afraid of eating so salty and getting high blood pressure or something. ”
Lin You was speechless, so he had to take the wine and go to work.
Uncle Wen leaned on the chair next to him and looked at Xie Zijin on the stage, with an angular side face, a pair of sparkling eyes, her eyelashes fluttering gently, and her singing voice softly.
"Tut-tut, what kind of talent do you rely on to grow like this?" He sighed casually, picked up the wine and took a sip.
I don't know how much I drank, Uncle Wen's eyes slowly dimmed, and in the gentle light, everyone seemed to be covered with a veil, and he waved his hand to try to remove the hazy mist in front of him.
It seems that there are more people on the stage, and a few teenagers are playing and laughing, as if he saw himself when he was young, so free and wanton.
There seems to be a girl sitting in the audience, with braids on her shoulders obediently, and her white floral skirt outlines her graceful figure, she smiles slightly, clean and clear.
Uncle Wen stretched out his hand and wanted to take her hand. But it's all like a layer of foam, which shatters when you touch it.
He rubbed his eyes, looked at the guests who were drunk and staggered, and then looked at Xie Zijin, who was still singing in the stands, and shook his head with a wry smile.
If he hadn't been so persistent at the time, would it have ended differently?
Those memories that were hidden deep in his heart seemed to be awakened by alcohol, Uncle Wen carried the wine bottle back to his residence, the night was very late, so many people who didn't go home were all like him, no one to worry about?
Lin You turned around twice, but he didn't see Uncle Wen, and he was bored for a while. looked up at Xie Zijin, she always felt that Xie Zijin still hadn't really let go of the band.
She went around the back door, crossed two alleys, and went to Uncle Wen's residence. As soon as I stepped in, I smelled a strong smell of gas.
"Hey!" She saw Uncle Wen lying unconscious on the ground, covered her nose and went straight to the kitchen to turn off the gas valve, and quickly pushed open the window and opened the door to let the air through.
Lin You squatted down and patted Uncle Wen's face. "Hey! Don't die! ”
I don't know if it's because of the excessive nervousness, Lin You's hand was a little heavy, and Uncle Wen's face immediately had a very obvious slap print. But at this time, Lin You couldn't care so much, dragged him out of the house, and poured a basin of water on his head and face.
Uncle Wen coughed violently twice, sat up like a corpse, wiped a handful of water from his face, and was about to scold which bastard disturbed his dreams, when he happened to face Lin You's iron face.
"I'll go, you're not dead yet." Lin You was startled by his sudden movement, and the footbath in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and stopped after two turns.
"What are you doing!" Uncle Wen, who was splashed with water, stood up, pinched his wet neckline and asked Lin You.
"You're old, and you're learning what radical youth commit suicide. You say that if you commit suicide, you will commit suicide, and you will commit suicide by turning on gas, do you know that gas is very expensive! ”
Hearing Lin You's words, Uncle Wen was even more puzzled, didn't he just get drunk and sleep on the ground? Why is it still involved in suicide?
Wait a minute...... Uncle Wen looked at the footbasin at Lin You's feet, and asked in a trembling voice, "You... You just splashed me with the water in it? ”
"Hmm." Lin You blinked innocently, the situation was so urgent just now, she didn't care so much.
Uncle Wen was so angry that he grinded his teeth, it was the water he forgot to pour after soaking his feet last night......
After Uncle Wen cleaned up, Lin You sat on the stone steps at the door and watched the ants on the ground move boredly. He walked out and handed Lin You a box of chocolates, "Last time my friend brought it back from abroad, I won't eat you cheaply." ”
Lin You didn't bother to care about any chocolate, but just asked, "Why can't you think about it?" ”
"I didn't think about it, I just wanted to cook something to eat, turned on the gas and drank a few sips, and then I forgot."
Thinking about it, it was really dangerous just now, if Lin You arrived so late for a while, it is estimated that he would really return to his position. Uncle Wen pinched his eyebrows, his head hurt as if it was about to explode, and he said to himself, "It seems that this wine is really time to quit." ”
Hearing Uncle Wen say that it was just an accident just now, Lin You reluctantly put his mind at ease, opened the chocolate and asked while eating: "I always think that you must have experienced some particularly bad things before, but it doesn't matter, Xie Zijin and I will often come to see you in the future." ”
Her eyes made Uncle Wen feel as if he was looking at a "lonely old man", but then he thought about it, wasn't he just a lonely old man? When you are older, it is estimated that you will have to go to a nursing home.
"Forget it, if you don't raise the bar with me, I can live a few more years."
"How do you speak, I just saved you, do you understand that the grace of saving your life should be reciprocated by the spring?" Lin You gave him a blank look, covered the chocolate box and got up and walked back.
Uncle Wen shouted from behind: "Little girl, do you really come to see me often?" ”
Lin You waved his hand and said without looking back: "Don't worry, my words count." ”
Looking at Lin You's back, Uncle Wen shook his head, a smile hung on his lips, helpless and sad.
This girl is too similar to her.
On the last train home, Lin You took a nap on Xie Zijin's shoulder, and seemed to be sleeping very uncomfortably in a daze, so he simply tilted his head and fell into Xie Zijin's arms.
A faint soapy aroma lingered on the tip of her nose, reassuring and gentle. She rubbed and found a comfortable position to sleep completely, completely ignoring Xie Zijin's flushed face and not knowing where to put her hands.
The couple in the same car threw envious eyes at them, and the girl also coquettishly said: "Look at people, how good." ”
Xie Zijin was stunned for a moment, touched Lin You's head, and said in his heart: "How good is this." ”
This kind of real possession, knowing that Lin Xiaoyou is in his arms, and he can touch her as soon as he stretches out his hand, it's so good.
Sometimes he thinks that if Lin You meets other boys in the future, he will be better than himself and spoil her more than himself. Will Lin You leave?
Every time I think about it. He gritted his teeth, as if he had seen the scene of Lin You leaving him for other boys.
No way! Absolutely not! Lin Xiaoyou is so stupid, he can eat, and he drools when he sleeps, who can bear it except himself.
The person in his arms smashed his mouth and woke up in a daze, "Xie Zijin, I just dreamed that someone scolded me." ”
Belch...... Xie Zijin said in his heart that it wouldn't be so coincidental, could it be that he was talking to himself unconsciously just now? While still thinking about it, Lin You suddenly remembered something, sat up and took out a box of chocolates in his bag.
"Share the blessings and share the difficulties." She waved the things in her hand, peeled off one and stuffed it into Xie Zijin's mouth, leaned back in the chair and began to read it in pieces.
"I've tasted it and it's not a wine heart, this is what Uncle Wen gave me, you say Uncle Wen, it's also pitiful, I don't have a girlfriend or anything when I'm old. I almost got gas poisoning today, if I hadn't gone, he would have seen Lord Yama go, Xie Zijin, let's go to see him often in the future. ”
She turned her head to look at Xie Zijin and looked at him with eyes full of pleading, of course Xie Zijin couldn't resist such soft and glutinous eyes, so she could only nod and say, "Okay." ”
Lin You smiled happily, peeled off another chocolate and stuffed it into Xie Zijin's mouth, hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "I know that Xie Zijin is the best person in this world. ”
