Chapter 40: Shopping
Flowers bring spirit to Ye Duhong, he discovers the good things in life, so he gains self-confidence and finds a reason to live. After bathing in the hot spring with a woman, they came to the flowers, the flowers shone on people's faces, their faces were like petals, and Ye Duhong was deeply moved by women and flowers. The woman pulled over a flower, put it in front of her, smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and closed her eyes slightly at night, and also smelled the fragrance of the flowers, which is a great joy in the world.
After taking a bath just now, they all washed their clothes, and Ye Duhong used a spell to dry the washed clothes, but the woman was not satisfied, she wanted to have new clothes, and she hadn't bought new clothes for a long time. Ye Duhong is willing to meet the woman's request, but only if he finds a shop that sells clothes. They looked around, this is the wilderness, where is there any shop that sells clothes, the corners of the woman's mouth show disappointment, Ye Duhong doesn't want to disappoint the woman, takes the woman's hand, and wants to take her to find the shop.
They left a tree and flowers, ran on the crooked path, and came to the foot of the mountain unconsciously, the mountain in front of them is like a Ru room, there is no upright momentum, it is not a problem for Ye Duhong to climb over this hill, so he is full of confidence and pulls the woman to run up the mountain, the mountain road is not easy to walk, Ye Duhong warned the woman to be careful not to break her foot, the woman said, are you afraid that I will go up the mountain on the back of my foot, and Ye Duhong is not easy to argue, just say, you will hurt very much after breaking your foot, so don't break your foot.
They ran up the mountain, ran to the top, Ye Duhong stopped panting, he ran too fast, a little tired. Ye Duhong said, you might as well wear a straw coat, and I will weave a dress for you with grass. The woman refused. Ye Duhong said, wear leaves, the leaves are very good. The woman said, don't be kidding, let's go.
The two of them went all the way down the mountain, and came to a piece of land, the land exuded a warm heat, and the two also saw a wide river on the land, and there was a bridge made of wood on the river, and people were constantly crossing the bridge, and people came and went on the bridge, which was very beautiful. On the other side of the bridge was a small town, with rows of houses showing its spaciousness, and the noise of the streets and alleys had become small on the other side of the river, but the identities of those people could still be identified from the small sound. There are those who sell tofu, those who sell baked cakes, those who juggle their performances, those who talk about cross talk, and those who sell rock sugar gourds. That's really a trouble, Ye Duhong grinned, and he told the woman that there might be clothes sold here.
Ye Duhong ran in front, the woman followed, and the two quickly crossed the bridge and came to the lively street. The woman stood in front of the man who sold the sugar gourd, and saw that the sugar gourd was bright and attractive, and the woman wanted to buy it. Walk to the end of the alley, turn right, and come to a clothing store with clothes that women want. However, the woman's sugar gourd is too big to enter the door, and besides, if you rub new clothes when you go in, you will not be compensated. Ye Duhong came up with an idea, and he held a sugar gourd outside the door and asked the woman to go in and choose clothes.
Ye Duhong watched the woman go in, so he waited outside with a sugar gourd. In Ye Duhong's childhood, new clothes mean the New Year, and only the New Year can you wear new clothes. Unlike rich people, who buy new clothes to wear every day, they don't know the fun of looking forward to wearing new clothes for the New Year. Ye Duhong remembered that it was exciting to post couplets for the New Year, it was exciting to watch a play, it was exciting to set off a cannon, and it was exciting to get new clothes, including wearing new clothes. Later, Ye Duhong grew up, and he didn't care if the clothes were new or not, and the taste of the New Year was much lighter. Ye Duhong stood outside the clothes store and sighed for a long time. After waiting for a long time, the woman still didn't come out, Ye Duhong's hand holding the sugar gourd was sour, he shouted to the clothing store, said hello, the woman said to choose again, there are many clothes, you have to choose a satisfactory one. Ye Duhong was a little impatient, so he said, I'm in. As a result, the clerk stopped Ye Duhong and said, what should you do if you take such a big sugar gourd and come in and rub your clothes. Ye Duhong was helpless, so he had to wait outside.
After a long time, the woman came out of the clothes store. Ye Duhong saw that the woman's face was not good, and she was a little depressed, so she asked the woman what was going on. The woman said that the money was not enough. Ye Duhong said, how much is missing. The woman said that if she didn't buy sugar gourds, it would be enough. Ye Duhong looked at the sugar gourd, this sugar gourd has been bitten by a woman, Ye Duhong said, the sugar gourd can't be returned. The woman's face was even more ugly. After a while, Ye Duhong said, why don't you go home and buy it. The woman is puzzled, go home? What go home. Ye Duhong said, this money is enough for the passage, you can hire a carriage, go back to your hometown, and ask your mother to buy it for you, when you go back to the barracks, don't you always want to go back? After hearing this, the woman nodded, and said, Then I will go home and buy it.
Ye Duhong hired a carriage for the woman, the woman got into the car, lifted the blue curtain, and waved goodbye to Ye Duhong, Ye Duhong also waved his hand, and said, remember to buy clothes. Looking at the back of the carriage in the distance, Ye Duhong was still very sad, thinking of the life with women these days, but a little reluctant. But the carriage was gone, and it didn't stop.
Ye Duhong came to the street, and the noisy sound poured into his ears, these excitement had nothing to do with Ye Duhong, he stood quietly on the street alone, without saying a word.
After breaking away from the battlefield, and separating from the woman, the unbearable torture of life and death was so unbearable that he lost his soul at night, he found a secluded corner and sat down on the ground. Thinking about the past, the feeling in my heart is like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and the taste can only be solved by Ye Duhong. He sat alone, watching and listening to what was here. It was afternoon, and he wanted to sit here until dark, and he didn't know why he wanted to sit until dark.
Meng Hai, who studied with Ye Duhong, was separated on the battlefield, and now he doesn't know if he is dead or alive, Ye Duhong really misses this friend. Ye Duhong is a person who likes to make friends, and he also has friends, but how come now, Ye Duhong is left alone in this strange place. I can't tell.
Ye Duhong has really been sitting on the ground, the light of the sky is gradually fading, the sunset is ambiguous, the sunset is charming, the market is still the same, Ye Duhong is hungry at this time, so he picks up the sugar gourd and gnaws it, the sugar gourd is so fragrant.
The carriage in which the woman was riding was speeding down the road, and she was homesick and timid, and she was excited when she was about to see her mother. The woman thought of Ye Duhong, and she didn't know how Ye Duhong was doing now, and whether she had found a place to live. The woman is worried about Ye Duhong, Ye Duhong has just come out of the battlefield, and he has already suffered, so don't suffer any more. A woman is about to get home, and when she arrives home, she is happy.
What is Ye Duhong's happiness? Ye Duhong is a person who pursues happiness, and he is unhappy a lot of the time. After eating the sugar gourd, Ye Duhong got up from the ground, patted his buttocks, and went to a small hotel. What is happiness?
