Chapter 32: Lin Ruoyin
After coming out of Cheng Weiyun's house, Gu Yun did not take a taxi, but walked home unhurriedly with tea cakes in one hand and trouser pocket in the other. Moutai drank half a bottle, but this bit of wine was not a big problem for him.
In the early summer, the sea is hot like a rough man with a hot temper during the day, but at night, she will become an empathetic girl, not cold or hot, gentle and intellectual.
By ten o'clock, there were not many pedestrians on the road, except for the occasional night runner, and most of the time only the long shadow under the streetlamp walked with him.
The sidewalk he walked on was basically the wall of the community, and the community here was much more upscale than the demolition house on Su Xiao's side, and there was a monitor on the wall almost every few tens of meters, and there were iron wires on the wall, and I didn't know if there was electricity.
However, on the opposite side is a long row of shops, supermarkets, fruit shops, snack shops, and barber shops, with colorful signboards flashing at the entrance, and the lights are brightly lit and the figures are abundant, each with its own story.
Not far from the bustle, very close to the quiet, this is the life that Gu Yun likes.
When walking alone, Gu Yun always likes to recall some things that he doesn't have.
For example, when he saw the shadow, he remembered the guy who was even crazier than him, a demon who was hundreds of thousands of years old.
"Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio", that's what the thing said.
His name is Li Bai.
Every time he returns to the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, Gu Yun will inevitably go to Li Bai.
In the beginning, it was admired for a few lifetimes, but then there was only one reason left.
Li Bai understands him.
Whenever he was homesick, he couldn't help but say to Li Bai, "There is a very long thing in a distant place, like a dragon that can travel thousands of miles a day, and the best thing is that it can still hold people in its stomach, and then spit people out when it arrives at the place" and so on.
Li Bai was the only one who could listen to him carefully and neither laugh at nor raise the bar.
He will even ask him questions such as "what is the meat quality of that dragon", which is very different from those ordinary people who always question "why does the dragon vomit out after eating people, and how do people live in the belly of the dragon".
Of course, he also understands Li Bai.
When Li Bai told him, "One night he lived in a building hundreds of feet high, and he could pick up the stars with his hand stretched out, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak loudly all night, for fear of waking up the people in the sky", Gu Yun would also be very cooperative and shout "," or something like that.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled, and invariably raised the wine bottle, and toasted each other for blowing a fresh and refined tart.
Only the most uninhibited people will not care about the truth or falsehood, but only care about the present.
But Gu Yun believes that he is only half uninhibited by Li Bai, because he can be uninhibited in the present, but he can't be uninhibited in the past.
The dazzling white clothes and the gloomy long sword have been engraved in his heart since the day they appeared.
……
Walking with the shadow, with memory as a companion, it doesn't matter the time, it doesn't matter how fast or slow, it's also a pleasure to walk leisurely like this, even if you go the wrong way......
"Hey, I'm going the wrong way again......"
Gu Yun muttered, looked around blankly, and found that there was a gate of a strange community in front of him, and there was a wall on his right, and the road opposite was also a wall, obviously this was a dead-end road.
In fact, he has lived in the coastal area for many lifetimes, and even several lifetimes were born in this vicinity, but the coastal area changes every year, and the map in his memory often has no time to update.
In the final analysis, it seems that the road idiot will not diminish with the increase of survival history, which proves that the road idiot is an irresistible passive attribute of some people and should not be blamed.
In desperation, Gu Yun had no choice but to take out his mobile phone to check the navigation.
Just as he was engrossed in staring at the screen, a strange white shadow suddenly fell from the sky, frightening him almost to show his wings.
When he looked closely, he saw a girl in a white suspender shirt half-sitting and half-lying at his feet, a meter away from him.
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long black hair like a waterfall, and air bangs on her forehead, and under the bangs were a pair of clear and smart eyes.
And the most eye-catching thing is her pink and flawless, slightly baby fat face, which makes her look extremely pure, which makes people care for her life, and just dilutes the sense of distance brought by her high appearance, which makes people extremely comfortable.
And this girl looks a little familiar.
However, Gu Yun has lived too long, and he has seen too many familiar girls, so he doesn't care too much.
He was still holding his mobile phone in both hands, and he didn't mean to help her, but glanced at the wall of the community that was more than two meters high next to him.
What did she think about jumping off such a high wall?
She shouldn't be a female snitch, one is that she can't fly, and the other is that thieves can't wear dresses to commit crimes.
But I just thought it was interesting, and I didn't plan to know anything more, so I lowered my head and continued to check the navigation.
The girl rubbed her ankles, and after a while stood up, glancing at the slightly indifferent man.
Then, a hint of surprise flowed through his crystalline eyes.
"You...... Is it called Gu Yun? ”
Gu Yun put down his phone, looked up at the girl again, and couldn't help asking, "Do you know me?" ”
A smile of surprise suddenly appeared on the girl's fair-skinned baby's face, revealing two shallow dimples, which were so pleasing to the eye.
"It's really you!" She stepped forward excitedly and said, "I'm Lin Ruoyin!" You don't remember me? ”
Gu Yun frowned, and his heart shook slightly.
Lin Ruoyin?
Isn't that the girl with the sword of cause and effect on Weibo?
Do you know her?
Or rather...... Does she know herself?
In the long cycle of hundreds of thousands of years, Gu Yun has encountered countless coincidences.
For example, when you go out and forget to bring your key, but coincidentally find that the door is not locked, or you don't close the window for half an hour, and it rains heavily for half an hour, or the strange girl who accidentally took a picture when she was a child finally became a girlfriend.
Many coincidences cannot be explained by science, but no one is too serious, and when they happen, they happen, and at most the credit or blame is placed on "luck".
But now this coincidence makes Gu Yun a little skeptical, and even thinks about it seriously.
He was sure that he didn't know Lin Ruoyin, but Lin Ruoyin could call his name when he opened his mouth.
What's more, Lin Ruoyin has the same sword as the one in his dream.
If she was always just a stranger on Weibo and had nothing to do with him, then he could barely think it was just a coincidence.
But now she fell from the sky and stood in front of him in such a grand manner.
Is this just a coincidence?
At this moment, I heard the girl say again, "Ah no, I'm Lin Mengna, Lin Ruoyin is the name that was changed later!" Now you can remember, right? ”
"Lin Mengna......"
In Gu Yun's mind, a familiar but long-along, long-ago picture gradually emerged.
In the clear stream, a swarthy little boy suddenly emerged from the water and swam to the shore with a handful of river shrimp in his hand.
Squatting on the shore was a chubby little girl in a floral dress, and she tried to hand a small bamboo basket to the boy, and the little skirt was covered with mud and did not care.
With a "poof", the little girl accidentally fell into the creek.
The little girl struggled in the stream and cried out in horror, "Brother! Help me! The shrimp are going to run."
The two little hands always held the small bamboo basket, refusing to let go or let it sink underwater.
After being rescued by the little boy, the little girl asked worriedly, "Did the shrimp run away?" while spitting out the stream. Is there no shrimp to eat? ”
The breeze caresses the water, and the stream sparkles like stars in the sun, like memories scattered in time.
That little girl's name is Lin Mengna, which is now Lin Ruoyin - if she wasn't lying.
Well, not only do they intersect, but they also intersect from a very young age.
