Chapter 253: Nosy
Qin Yan endured the torment and temperament and finally waited until seven twenty, before that, there were finally a few more guests waiting for the boat in the waiting hall, look at the time, the ticket gate should be able to check in and board the ship, but the staff was not seen for a long time.
Qin Yan patted a copper pole standing at the entrance a few times anxiously, and the sound of "bang bang" attracted the side glances of several other people.
"Don't worry, young man, it looks like the ship is late." A middle-aged man in his mid-for-four-five years, with a dark face and a black beard on his chin, said loudly.
"It's all this time, will the ship be late?"
"It's because of the late hours and the fact that there are fewer people on the boat that I will be late. Under normal circumstances, it's all about waiting for someone, and if you can take one more one, make money, isn't it all like this? The middle-aged man seemed to have a good temper and explained to him, and at the same time leaned in front of Qin Yan, looked up and down, and said, "You don't seem to be from our island, there is something important to pass so late?" ”
Qin Yan smiled and said, "It's not a very important matter, you just need to find a friend, and you live on the island?" ”
"No, a native. Is that friend of yours from our island? If yes, then I know for sure. If not, then where does he live? But I know all the famous B&Bs. When the time comes, I'll take you there, and it's good that you can't find a place in the dark. "The middle-aged black-faced man is very enthusiastic about Qin Yan for some purpose, or he has no purpose at all, and his personality is like this.
Qin Yan didn't know if Diao Baodou was from Blueberry Island, and he didn't know where he lived at the moment, but after pondering for a while, he still hesitated to say Diao Baodou's name.
"You're a friend of Baodou?" As soon as he heard the three words Diao Baodou, the eyes of the middle-aged black-faced man immediately lit up.
Qin Yan touched his chin and thought to himself, it was really a blind cat that met a dead mouse, that guy was really from Blueberry Island.
"I can't be clearer about Lao Diao's family, his family used to be in the homestay business, and the business was very good, but it was closed eleven years ago, and besides, the family died and only Baodou was left, alas, it's a pity!" Speaking of this, the middle-aged black-faced man took out a box of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, let Qin Yan first, saw him waving his hand, so he smoked one and put it on his mouth, and then took out the plastic lighter, which had been simple, and lit the cigarette with a "snap".
Qin Yan had no intention of knowing Diao Baodou's family affairs and origins, all he wanted to know was where he lived now.
"When I went ashore and walked up the hill southwest for about 20 minutes, I would see a small gray three-story building, which was Lao Diao's house. Originally, there was a sign hanging at the gate, called 'Bean Ya Residence', but now it is long gone. ”
Qin Yan thanked the middle-aged black-faced man, and then saw that a staff member finally came over at the ticket gate. Look at the time, it's already eight o'clock in the evening, and it can be half an hour late, is there any sense of time?
When the speedboat flipped and jumped forward at great speed on the sea, Qin Yan actually felt that his head was slightly dizzy, and there was also a feeling of suffocation in his chest, he frowned and turned his head to look out of the dark window, and tried to calm his mind for a while.
The silver wolf lay on the seat next to him, unable to feel the upheaval of the speedboat.
The same difficult two and a half hours finally passed, and when he stood up, Qin Yan swore that he would never sit on such a disgusting and uncomfortable ghost tool again in this life.
When he went ashore, he saw that the middle-aged black-faced man had already arrived on the shore one step ahead of him, and looked like he was waiting for him.
"I'm going in this direction too, come with you, you can't find a place in the province."
"Thank you in advance." Qin Yan reluctantly smiled and thanked him.
"You're not used to riding this kind of speedboat, are you? As soon as I look at you, I know it's mild seasickness, which is the case for most people who don't often ride speedboats, and it will be fine after a while. When leaving, it is recommended that you take an open boat, although it is slow, but it is not airtight, and it will not be seasick, and it is comfortable. ”
"Okay, thank you." This time, Qin Yan is heartfelt thanks.
"You're welcome, na, this is Baodou's house, the lights are on, it seems that he is at home now. Let's go, it's windy at night, and it's warmer when you go inside. Good bye! ”
Qin Yan waved goodbye to the enthusiastic middle-aged man and thanked him again for his guidance.
This three-story gray building is built in the direction of the mountain, probably because of the uneven ground, the small building always gives people a slightly inclined feeling, even so, but it does not make people feel that this building has some safety hazards, on the contrary, it makes people feel at ease for no reason, Qin Yan doesn't know what kind of reason this is, of course, he doesn't know anything about building a building, and he is not interested in understanding, And the reason why this idea is born now is nothing more than that there is a person who is very important to him living in it.
On the night of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year after the New Year, after two and a half hours of unbearable sea sailing, on a strange island, at the gate of a sloping but safe gray three-story building, Qin Yan pushed open the unlocked gate without any thought. Then, as if they had expected his arrival, the two people sitting in the living room looked at him calmly as if they had expected him.
Although it has only been eight days since she left Wen Wen, for Qin Yan, it seems that several years have passed, especially when Wen Wen looks at him with her bland black and white eyes, she feels that the two of them are not just separated by a living room of eight or nine meters, it is a wordless distance, as if he is still staying in the port of Shanghai when he came, looking at her from a distance across the dark and cold sea.
"Warm ......" Qin Yan took two steps in the direction of warmth, and the door closed silently behind him.
"It's late, I'll go back to my room and go to bed first." Wen Wen interrupted Qin Yan's words, got up from the sofa and walked to the second floor, while also taking his eyes off Qin Yan completely.
"Warm?" Qin Yan was inexplicably surprised, originally thought that she should be happy to see herself appear here, even if she would not be so obvious, she should have a sense of relief, no matter what, she has always played the role of a protective umbrella for her, especially when she is in danger, which time is not by her side?
Hearing Qin Yan's shout again, Wen Wen didn't stop going upstairs, but paused slightly at the corner of the stairs, "Remember, Diao Baodou is my friend." When the word "friend" was spoken, the tone was obviously aggravated, and after speaking, he continued upstairs.
Qin Yan frowned and looked up as Wen Wen disappeared at the top of the stairs, his big dark eyes flashing with strong doubts and gloom.
"Friends?" Qin Yan turned his head to look at Diao Baodou, of course he understood the meaning of these two words, she didn't want Qin Yan to hurt Diao Baodou.
"Sit, do you need something to drink?" Compared to Qin Yan, Diao Baodou was surprisingly calm, he raised his hand and pointed to the position of the single sofa, as if he were treating a friend from afar, and motioned for Qin Yan to sit down.
Qin Yan was also not polite, walked to the place where Wen Wen had just sat down, sat down with a big thorn, and said very disdainfully, "Whatever." ”
Diao Baodou was not angry, opened the tea set on the coffee table, put the tea leaves into the round purple clay pot, boiled the water, first scalded the cup, then brewed the tea leaves, poured out the tea for the first time, boiled a pot of water, and then brewed the second time, then covered the lid, and quietly waited for the fragrance of tea to float out.
When Diao Baodou was doing these things, Qin Yan always stared at him without blinking, and in this man, he saw a soul that did not belong to him, or rather, a soul that lived in this body was more appropriate. But these Qin Yan didn't care, such things would happen more or less a few times a year in the world, although it was contrary to common sense, but it seemed to be in line with the norm, in short, it was harmless to people. It's like being warm!
Warm? Thinking of the warmth, Qin Yan frowned again, the reason why Diao Baodou helped her was because of this?
"How?" Diao Baodou asked.
"Take a speedboat." Qin Yan replied.
Diao Baodou nodded and said, "We too, when we came, Wen Wen was very seasick." “
Hearing this, Qin Yan frowned and said very unhappily: "So, you shouldn't bring her here." Don't think you've done a great deal, in fact, you're just meddling. “
Diao Baodou nodded again and said approvingly, "Indeed." ”
Qin Yan pursed his lips, he didn't know what to say for a while, in fact, he didn't think that he would chat with Diao Baodou before he came, with his character, he would either fight or not shake off, and sit calmly on the sofa at his house to chat? Such a scenario could not have been in his mind beforehand.
Qin Yan scratched his head irritably, with a warm attitude, he didn't want to know through Diao Baodou's mouth that this was a matter between the two of them, what did it have to do with this surnamed Diao? Even if Wen Wen is angry with him and loses his temper, it is all for him personally, and it is useless to have a dime to do with others. Therefore, there is no need to ask.
Thinking of this, Qin Yan could no longer sit here calmly and watch Diao Baodou make tea, he stood up and said, "It's too late, I've been on the road for a day, and I need to rest." ”
"Huh?" Diao Baodou didn't seem to expect Qin Yan to want to leave without asking anything, he looked up at Qin Yan and was stunned, and then said, "Then I'll go and prepare a room for you." ”
"No, I'll just go with her." After speaking, Qin Yan didn't look at Diao Baodou, raised his feet and walked to the second floor.
On the second floor, there are two rows of six bedrooms, only two of which are lit, and the innermost one on the right hand side is the room where the warmth is now.
