Two hundred and seventy
The madman looked at the pen in his hand, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and spit it out. Looking up at the glass window of the office, the so-called charming night outside the window, yes, this is the so-called big city, which tells the small dreams of countless people, of course, this also includes the small dreams of the madmen themselves, but how many people have realized them?
It is true that the neon lights are still flashing outside the window, as if to tell all people that in love, only love, and only love can make people ignore all the hurt and pain, so as to live in the so-called joy? No! No, but what's wrong?
The madman smirked silently, looking at the pen in his hand again, but at this moment he inexplicably realized that yesterday and yesterday's yesterday were like a dream, but this dream was too real, so real that it was as if he had experienced it himself.
Wipe out the burned cigarette in the delicate ashtray, and then, sleep? Just sleep, right? As long as you fall asleep, you will no longer think about what happened in the rental house, and of course you will no longer think of the old man who seems to be a real old man, the old man said that Lili has changed? Be all abroad.
……
It's just that time never stops, and this is completely unchangeable in our world. Therefore, it was soon the next morning, and it was a good day, and the bright and warm sunlight seemed to be pouring in through the office window.
But today is not a good day for a madman? No, today must be a good day because there will be Lili today?
Stupidly lit a cigarette, and somehow turned out half a bottle of liquor, so far, smoking, drinking, and after a while, someone knocked on the door, and then the madman spoke again, as if yesterday was also a distant past, with a expressionless face: "The door is open, come in." ”
Yes, the door was indeed open, the door was not locked, and it was a boy who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. The madman was instantly confused, he really didn't know, so he was about to ask, but the boy spoke first: "Store manager, the cashier said to exchange a hundred yuan coins, and add drinks." ”
Oh? I see, I see, I see...... He's a webmaster, but when did he come to this Internet café? The madman felt that he knew nothing, and for now, he didn't understand his name, but despite this, the madman subconsciously smiled: "Well, I see." ”
Then, the network manager went out, and the madman also got up, began to tidy up his clothes a little, and then went out of the office door, washed his face with cold water in the bathroom on the second floor, and suddenly became much more sober, and then hurriedly dealt with some trivial matters in the Internet café, just to add drinks, and exchange some coins or something, to put it bluntly, there is not much of a deal.
In the end, the madman still smirked and looked at the big bosses in the lobby on the first floor, they were still playing WOW games, and they seemed to be very concentrated, so the madman didn't try to disturb them, but went straight out of the door of the Internet café.
However, the outside world is indeed sunny, as if this extremely bright sunshine is telling that today is indeed a good day, but a cold and biting cold wind blows, which makes people realize that it is still winter, right? After all, it's still so cold.
The madman moved and stopped at the door, and the electric car, which had no temperature but was shining in the bright sun, took out the key, started it, and began to drive on the bustling long street.
The pedestrians along the road looked very dense, maybe because the migrant workers had just returned after the New Year, right? And along the way, as long as there is an intermediary, there will be more people wandering, some laughing, some distressed...... They may all need to go home a year ago, but the company does not approve it, so they can only go home for the New Year at the cost of losing more than half a month's salary, and now they are returning to this big city again, and then looking for a new job.
Seeing these scenes, the madman also asked himself, what is wrong with us humans? Why do you live so hard, but someone asked, obviously full of bitterness and tears, but still have to endure it, and then say, it's okay, we are very happy? That's right, inexplicable, really inexplicable!
So the madman stopped the electric car and bought a bottle of the strongest liquor in a commissary on both sides of this long street with unknown trees on both sides, which was Beijing Erguotou, and drank it when he opened it. Spirits burn the heart, yes, this is the taste of the burning of spirits, and it is the taste of tears, maybe because of this, so the current madman suddenly burst into tears, but why is there so sadness in his heart? Shouldn't it be fun? Happy to see Lili soon?
No, no, no, no, no, the madman didn't understand at all at this moment, where he was going, but although he didn't understand where he was going, the electric car finally arrived at the alley mouth of the ancient town.
Of course, the scenery here is still the same, not only the same as yesterday, but it is exactly the same as it was many years ago, and it has not changed in the slightest. Otherwise, no, of course the old man is still the same, he is still half-lying on the chair, holding his favorite purple sand cup in his hand, but the old man's pale hair, this is not the same as many years ago, by the way, didn't this matter just learn about it yesterday?
The madman parked his electric car and didn't enjoy the scenery around here, because maybe for him at the moment, there was nothing to see about the charming scenery here, after all, this was the outside world, although the sun was shining, it was still so cold.
So, when the madman entered the commissary, the old man just smiled, without even opening his squinted eyes, and said casually: "I knew you would come." ”
The madman smirked, then lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then took another sip of the bottle, and then said, as if unconsciously, "I don't know why I'm here, but I'm here just walking, that's all." ”
The old man didn't say anything more, but he was still half-lying, still squinting, with a kind smile on his face, and holding his purple clay cup in both hands. Seeing this, the madman also subconsciously sat down, and then also saw the tea leaves that were opened on the side, which he seemed to have bought for the old man yesterday, but it didn't seem to be, but no matter what, the current old man's purple sand cup must be the tea leaves in this exquisite box.
The madman sat next to the electric heater, drinking wine, and looked at the commissary, which contained a wide variety of things, such as instant noodles, biscuits, cigarettes, alcohol, and daily necessities...... But the existence of all this, the madman was already clear, but at this time, the old man suddenly spoke: "Have you eaten it in the morning?" ”
"I've eaten it."
The madman replied, but this was obviously a lie, but the old man didn't seem to be able to verify the truth of these three words, so he just smiled, and the madman probably didn't understand what else to do except smoking and drinking, so he felt very bored, and even felt very embarrassed, so he said: "You like your purple clay cup?" I've seen you hold it all the time years ago, as if you never leave it. ”
As if he had been asked something terrible, the old man sat up straight, and even opened his eyes, and his old face was full of intoxicating and longing smiles: "Of course, this is my treasure!" ”
Treasure? A purple sand cup, is it a treasure? Oh? Maybe it's really a treasure, because the madman saw the pen pinned to his chest, and the paint was badly lost, but this is a treasure, at least for himself, this must be undoubted, inevitably, absolutely, absolutely priceless treasure.
So the madman smiled thoughtfully, and smiled very sweetly, but the old man brought up the story of the purple clay cup that belonged only to him, which was quite long, but so fascinating. It turned out that this purple clay cup was related to the girl the old man loved, and when he heard such a story, the madman suddenly realized that it was indeed a treasure, just like his own fountain pen.
However, the old man was completely on the rise, and talked endlessly, but the madman was not disgusted by this long and wordy story, although in many places the old man used almost all the beautiful words he knew to describe the beauty and kindness of the girl, in short, the girl was described by the old man as a more perfect existence than the heavenly maiden.
……
Of course, the story is always beautiful, and the people who live in this world are tired and even more uneasy. Yes, it must be so, so at the moment the madman is very uneasy, and his heart is trembling, because there is a girl standing at the entrance of the commissary.
This girl is dressed very fashionably, just like a very rich, very gorgeous aristocratic lady, not very old, but she is dressed as a noble lady in the Republic of China era, wearing a mink coat that looks very expensive? Wearing long black boots, the end of the boots has the fur of an unknown animal, in short, it looks very expensive.
Of course, a long golden hair, even more eye-catching, delicate to make people lose their own facial features, as well as pink lipstick, a pair of big round earrings, because of the bright sun, at this time flashing golden light, she is carrying two large plastic bags in her hands, which seem to be food?
It's just that this girl, at this moment, is standing in place, as if she has lost her soul, really like she has lost her soul, she is still, her eyes are very dull, and she looks at the madman in a daze.
The madman gritted his teeth, forcibly endured the crazy tremor in his heart at the moment, and endured the chaotic heartbeat, biting his lip, almost biting his lip out of blood, and then mustered all the courage to speak: "Yo, isn't this Lili?" Long time no see. ”
Yes, the madman's voice was obviously trembling, but the gorgeous girl pursed her lips instantly, and turned around directly, to leave here, yes, her hurried steps were telling that she really wanted to disappear from here in an instant, however, the madman would not let such a gorgeous girl disappear from her own world again.
