It's been a long time
"Big brother, can you help me find marbles?"
A sweet voice interrupted Zhou Wen, who was kneeling on one knee and deep in memory, wearing a neat suit and a deep black tie, which made the naughty and cute little girl in front of him look new.
"Come, little girl, what marbles have fallen? Brother, I'll help you find it. ”
Zhou Wen was taken by the little girl's hand and left the lotus pond full of withered and broken Yujiu flowers.
"Big brother, it's just here that you're gone. My mom and I were shopping for groceries nearby, and I took the marbles to play in front of the pachinko machine in front of the supermarket, but I didn't expect to fall off as soon as I was happy. ”
The little girl brought Wu Nong's soft language, which is unique to Shanghai, and she was angry, which made Zhou Wen, the big brother who is now about to become an uncle, feel distressed.
"Come on, big brother help you find it, don't cry, good."
Zhou Wen said as he picked up the little pink girl with a cute bun on her head, and searched for an ordinary marble in the farmer's market full of crowds with very sharp, agile and fast eyes.
"Found it! Over there! ”
Zhou Wen was next to the little girl's baby fat face and pointed towards a hawker's stall.
Watching the child run briskly, it seemed so harmonious in the crowd full of indifference, and in Zhou Wen's broken heart, he quietly lit a lamp in Zhou Wen's cold chest, maybe it was that twilight that did not see the years, God sent him a little angel in a hurry.
"Big brother, what are you looking at? My name is Yingying, can you go marbles with me? ”
Yingying took Zhou Wen's hand and looked at Zhou Wen in a daze with her little head up.
"Oh, yes. The eldest brother accompanies Yingying to play marbles. ”
Zhou Wen strode to the front of a supermarket with Yingying in his arms, as if he was not regarded as a trafficker by others, but Zhou Wen's suit and leather shoes, shiny leather shoes, and handsome hair would not make people feel like a trafficker.
"Big brother, I have a coin here, I'll put it in first and get eight coins."
Yingying pouted, and her white and tender little hands reached into a pachinko machine.
Zhou Wen watched carefully from the sidelines as the innocent Yingying threw them one by one, and then the marbles finally landed in the place where the red light was lit in the continuous rebound.
"Yay!"
Yingying's immature voice danced happily next to the pachinko machine, and when the ping-pong fell on the reward marbles, Zhou Wen casually took a marble and threw it in, and then according to the relevant laws of probability and normal distribution, he kept winning and winning, only Yingying kept screaming and the sound of the bonus marbles hitting the baffle.
"Big brother is so powerful, so powerful! Big brother is so awesome! ”
Yingying hugged Zhou Wen and kissed and kissed. And the aunt at the counter in the supermarket watched a handsome man in a suit playing the childish pachinko with a little girl, and she almost felt like a ghost, and when she saw that the man had won almost all the marbles of the pachinko, she was almost like seeing a ghost.
Zhou Wen beckoned to Yingying, he was going home, but Yingying desperately held Zhou Wen's hand and didn't let him leave.
Zhou Wen looked at Yingying's little face reflected in the sunset, looked at the slightly reddish tears in Yingying's eyes, and listened to Yingying's grievances that fluctuated from time to time.
I remember the years when the pigeons flapped their wings in the summer that were blown by the wind, and I also remember the many times in my fate that the strings were stained with pale yellow at dusk.
"Okay, big brother will go shopping with me!"
"Shopping? Yingying also went shopping? ”
"Hmmm! Yes! ”
Yingying replied solemnly, as if it was very familiar.
Wait until Yingying says, "It's here!" At that time, Zhou Wen found that the so-called "shopping" was not a commercial street, but a street tree street full of sycamores.
Zhou Wen took Yingying's little hand and walked slowly on the side of the red road together, Yingying kicked the leaves scattered on the side, Zhou Wen held Yingying's little hand tightly, as if he saw the picture again.
"Zhou Wen, do you know the sun and rain?"
Cai Jie lay on the lawn, staring blankly at the sky, looking into the distance.
"Oh, it's just the sun and the rain again, what's wrong?"
Zhou Wen said seriously, and took out a stack of persimmon cakes from his bag, and played together in this winter vacation that he was about to spend with Cai Jie.
"Zhou Wen, if it suddenly rains under the hot sun in the future, it means that I am crying. And the more sad I cried, the heavier the rain became, so you have to remember it. ”
Cai Jie closed her eyes, smelled the fragrance of the grass, and hummed a song that was so familiar but always unfamiliar on the slopes of the hillside covered with dogtail grass, in the dogtail grass that seemed to be a faint yellow flame gently swaying.
Zhou Wen stared at Cai Jie, holding the persimmon cake that gradually dissipated the heat in his hand, as if he wanted to hold Cai Jie's hand tightly in his memory, so as not to let his beloved girl shed a single tear.
But Zhou Wen even such memories seem to slowly become wrinkled, and he only finds shallowness in the profundity.
"Big brother, why don't you leave?"
Yingying looked at Zhou Wen who was in a daze curiously, and coquettishly pulled Zhou Wen who had forgotten in the past.
"Oh! Yingying, let's go. ”
Zhou Wen squatted down and picked up Yingying directly, and walked to the abandoned bus stop on the side of the road.
"Yingying, let's count the cars, shall we?"
"How do you count them?"
"Just count how many cars have passed."
"Okay."
“1、2、3、4、5...19、30!”
"No, 19 is 20 after that, Yingying lost the wrong way."
"No, Yingying is only in the second class."
Yingying hugged Zhou Wen's head and said shyly.
Smelling the soothing smell of Yingying's body, watching the cars coming and going turn on the xenon lamps, honking their horns from time to time in the twilight that is about to enter the eternal night, singing a flamboyant serenade.
Zhou Wen hugged Yingying, who was already asleep, waited for Yingying's mother at the exit of the farmers' market, and put 65 marbles in a cute Ahri cloth bag for Yingying, and quietly watched Yingying in the flow of people coming and going.
The last middle-aged woman came over and gently hugged Yingying, Zhou Wen said hello to her and left, he wanted to say "goodbye" to Yingying, but Zhou Wen just kissed Yingying lightly on Yingying's soft face, and said goodbye to Yingying in his dream.
Perhaps, next year, we will see you again in this place, or maybe we will never see you again.
Perhaps, when you say goodbye, you will still know me and go to play pachinko with me, or maybe you have grown up and matured and have long since stopped playing marbles and have long forgotten me.
Perhaps, really goodbye, really never again.
The brightest lights are turned on on the Oriental Pearl Tower, where countless electromagnetic waves roar and countless dumb communications entangle here.
Zhou Wen also melted into the watery night, and really felt the pain of not staying again.
And thousands of miles away in Chongqing, Cai Jie walked alone on the city road, indifferently looking at the wrinkled aunt who picked up garbage, walking past the cleaning staff who wrote in the composition when she was a child, and listening to the hoarse singing of the wandering singer in the crowd of onlookers.
Now Caijie has also learned to accept it indifferently and tasted the hardships of life. Although the house is now dilapidated, at least the mask of hypocrisy has been completely torn. Cai Jie cherishes the real pain in front of her, but she still can't let go of the gray traces in the past.
Cai Jie is dressed in a hot, low-cut outfit, miniskirt, and high heels. Maybe Cai Jie has also bowed to life, she has to work in a high-end bar, she has to dress herself very sexy and exposed, and she has to endure the unreasonable harassment of customers at times. She melted into the noisy bar, only to give away a little sadness from the past.
The clouds cover the autumn geese and cover the moonlight for ten years,
Parting with sorrow and hatred is the ulcer of the heart.
The dew is cold, the old ship is shaking, and the people are melancholy.
With a flick of his fingers, the red dust is far away.
The green silk is dipped in the snow, and the road is full of smoke.
During that extraordinarily cold winter vacation, Cai Jie and Zhou Wen went crazy through many places together.
Every morning, Zhou Wen would take Cai Jie to skate freely in the frozen lotus pond.
A thick layer of ice swept across the entire withered lotus pond. And under the ice layer, there are also two people who are frozen in dependence and love.
Cai Jie likes to follow Zhou Wen because Zhou Wen always gives her very mysterious surprises.
Zhou Wen likes to walk in front of Cai Jie, because Cai Jie always gives him very strong courage.
"Zhou Wen, where is this?"
Cai Jie pulled the corner of Zhou Wen's clothes, carefully hid behind Zhou Wen, and looked at the mysterious sinkhole on the mountain behind the town.
"I don't know, why haven't I noticed that there is such a black sinkhole here, there won't be snakes in it, right?"
Zhou Wen touched his chin, then touched his face again, then patted his head, and finally pulled his ears, but he still shook his head.
"What are you talking about! Why don't you pick your big nostrils? ”
Cai Jie said in disgust, then picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into it without saying a word, it seemed that it was worse than Mulan, and more forked than Liang Hongyu!
"Ahh That rolling calf smashed me! Come out for the old lady!! The mother won't kill you and me! ”
When Zhou Wen heard this, isn't this the voice of Aunt Wang, who sells sweet potatoes, and then stomped his feet.
"Oh my God! I remembered that this was the house of the lady who sold sweet potatoes on the street (Chongqing vernacular, a place used to store sweet potatoes)! The one inside is Aunt Wang! Sky! Come on! ”
Zhou Wen pulled Cai Jiesa and ran wildly, because he knew that this Aunt Wang was not a woman when she scolded and fought. Zhou Wen heard from his mother that Aunt Wang was bitten by the Zhang family's dog when she was young, and in the end, she directly cut the dog with a hoe like a sweet potato. Then she insisted on finding a door-to-door son-in-law, and made her mother-in-law so angry that she didn't get along for three years. What's even worse is that as long as someone comes to the door to quarrel, Aunt Wang has to scold that person for three days and three nights and dare not go out before she stops.
Therefore, in Lotus Town, don't mess with Aunt Wang, because people's Taoism is unfathomable, and ordinary people really don't dare to compete with it.
Zhou Wen pulled Cai Jie from the mountain path and ran wildly, as if it was the end of the world, like a big hero in the film and television to escape the explosion behind him*.
"Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen, it's really ...... I really can't run, I really can't run. ”
Cai Jie bent over, panting constantly, as if she was going to die.
"Oh yes! At this time, you must run, the master in the back is not a fuel-efficient lamp, hurry up! ”
Zhou Wen was about to pull up Cai Jie and help her to continue running, but Cai Jie didn't run anymore, Zhou Wen didn't say anything, and directly picked up Cai Jie and continued to run.
I remember that you carried me through the mountains and forests full of walnut trees, I remember that I blushed against your back and listened to your even-toned breathing, and I remember that the silence at that moment has become an unforgettable memory for my life.
Zhou Wen, I like you, I really like you, on your back, no matter how bumpy the road is, I will never be afraid, because I love you deeply.
The most fragrant and fragrant flower in the world, in the most stable wet soil in the world, the most perfect bloom.
