Chapter 168: Lost and Metamorphosed
Hearing the angry shouts of the staff, Brother Rundong was busy packing up the books on the table at this moment, and he did not respond to the other party's impolite or even slightly rude words.
Looking at Brother Rundong's appearance, it was not the first time he had been reprimanded by the staff like this, but when he raised his head and saw me, Brother Rundong's expression was slightly stunned, he seemed to suddenly remember that I was still here, and his face showed embarrassment, but he still didn't respond to the staff who was still chattering, and hurriedly closed the book and said, "Oh, let's go, we should go." ”
"Hey, you're scribbling on books again, didn't you tell you? ”
The staff saw that there was handwriting on the book that Brother Rundong was closing, and suddenly shouted loudly again, this time he was even more subtle, and he looked very annoyed.
"No, this book is something I've read before, I wrote it last time, and I didn't bring a pen with me today. Brother Rundong hurriedly explained, at this moment, Brother Rundong's appearance is similar to the passionate and enthusiastic young man before, it is the first time I have seen Brother Rundong so cautious, and his expression even looks a little cramped and uneasy.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I turned my head and yelled at the staff member angrily, "Why are you talking nonsense? ”
"Who knows if he wrote it this time or last time? He scribbled on a lot of books, how can we watch him every day? Hmph, next time he scribbles, he won't let you in. ”
The staff member was obviously not convinced, and immediately responded to me angrily.
I was just about to reply to the other party a few more words, even if it was to warn others, we should pay attention to the attitude, but Brother Rundong saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to grab me and persuaded: "Let's go, don't say it, we should get out of here." ”
After saying that, he picked up the books on the table, put them on the shelves one by one, and pulled me out of the library quickly.
Walking outside, I saw that Brother Rundong was still tense and embarrassed, the old boy with angry swordsmanship was no longer there, he became more aware of the situation, even if others embarrassed him, misunderstood him, and gave him white eyes, he also wanted to ensure that he could continue to read books here as the premise, and no longer entangled in those trivial matters with others, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
After thinking about it crampedly, Brother Rundong said with a slightly happy look on his face: "Let's go, you first accompany me to send these things back to my residence, and then I will take you to a good place, where the rice noodles are very tasteful of our hometown." ”
It would be nice to end this awkward silence between me and him in this way.
"Okay. "I don't care, I can go anywhere.
So I accompanied Brother Rundong back to his residence, the Xiangnan Clubhouse, a place filled with all kinds of strange smells and all kinds of strange people, such a place was a temporary place for some retired soldiers, poor passers-by, students with no money, and even some idle people in society.
Walking into here, not to mention all kinds of smells around, it is even more noisy, there are people in the east room humming an out-of-tune tune that I don't know where it is, there are two people in the west room who are arguing loudly, the children in the north room are crying, and the old man in the south house is coughing violently.
Brother Rundong seemed to have been accustomed to this place for a long time, and walked smoothly into the room where he was, hearing the sounds around him was as natural as listening to a symphony, and he also said a few simple greetings on the way, and he knew that I had been here once, so this time his face was not as embarrassed as last time, and he brought me in like an old friend.
The people next to me all looked at me with cloudy and different eyes, and they could clearly see that my clothes and temperament were out of place here, and it was estimated that people like me would rarely appear here.
Just when Brother Rundong put his book away and turned around to walk out of the Xiangnan Club with me, suddenly there was an extremely chaotic noise in the courtyard of the Xiangnan Club, and at the same time, a very bad shout and scolding suddenly came from the courtyard.
"Where is Li Xin? Rabbit cub, damn the last time you yelled with me, didn't you say that I didn't dare to kill you? You also brought a group of people to find trouble with Lao Tzu, this time Lao Tzu came to raze you here, you come out for me!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a heavy and chaotic sound of footsteps and shouting in the courtyard, as if dozens of people had rushed into this Xiangnan clubhouse, and the screams of people could be heard from time to time.
According to my judgment, this seems to be a group fight, yes, in such a place where the three religions and nine streams gather, there will be all kinds of people, and there are some people who provoke right and wrong outside, and they are chased here to have a group fight, and I can hear that this time the other party is completely prepared and wants to make a big move.
Just when I was still hesitating, whether to put all these people in order like the plot in the TV series, and then meet the admiring eyes of everyone, suddenly my sleeves tightened, I turned my head to see that it was Brother Rundong who nervously pulled me, and then he immediately said to me: "Quick, hide, this is a very troublesome thing." ”
"Hide?"
I wondered if I had heard it wrong, and looked at Brother Rundong puzzled, could it be that the other party was very powerful?
"Yes!"
Brother Rundong nodded to me very firmly and said, "Quick, let's hide in the bathroom." ”
Stunned, dumbfounded, I already know what to say, Brother Rundong actually let us hide in the bathroom, which is too ...... That's it!
The face was slightly embarrassed, Brother Rundong also felt a little embarrassed, but he still used his strength to pull me firmly and ran to the bathroom, when I got there, there were already some people in it, and a few better, cleaner positions were occupied, Brother Rundong and I had to squeeze into a dirty position, the smell here is needless to say, the smell in the room outside just now made me want to cover my nose, not to mention this kind of public bathroom that is not very diligent to clean.
This taste...... , I can't bear to say it!
The sound of a fight soon came from the courtyard of the Xiangnan Club, and the fight was very fierce, and it can be guessed from the occasional miserable screams and the sound of weapons colliding, that the intensity of the fight was by no means an ordinary petty fight.
I looked out through the crack in the window, and of course I could get some fresh air.
At this moment, in the courtyard of this clubhouse, there are actually more than a dozen soldiers fighting with a group of young people, all with knives, weapons, clubs and other things in their hands, and the strength of those soldiers is of course strong, most of them are the strength of fighters, and the strength of those young people is much worse than that of soldiers, and there are very few people with the strength of fighters. The battle soon became clear, and the group of young people saw that the situation was not good, and many people took advantage of the chaos to escape, and only one young man was there to fight to the death, and as a result, he was knocked down in a pool of blood in a few strokes under the swords and palms.
A few more slashes, and then the GIs rode away.
After a while, I saw that Brother Rundong was still in the bathroom, and when I saw his slightly nervous face, I didn't know what it was like at this moment.
"This is no longer like Brother Rundong, he has never been such a person who hides things before!"
Of course, it can't be said that this kind of hiding is wrong, and from a sensible point of view, it is indeed the best choice, the most realistic choice. ”
"But if it was before, Brother Rundong, who had a strong sense of justice and wanted to be strong, would never have been able to do such a thing. ”
"Brother Rundong has finally become realistic!
But I couldn't be happy, after all, the Brother Rundong I was familiar with was gone, and I didn't know if I preferred the flamboyant and confident, even somewhat arbitrary Brother Rundong?
I had no idea in my mind.
A person's transformation is not only that he himself has to painfully try to accept his new self, but even the people around him have to try to get to know him again.
But I believe that Brother Rundong will not be so stereotyped, 19-year-old young people have been growing up, he is constantly looking for himself, colliding with himself, and perfecting himself, because I know that Brother Rundong is the one who likes to be public, has exaggerated life goals, and will not give up after identifying the goal, and now he has become aware of how to retreat, I believe this will make it easier for him to find the best combination between ideals and reality.
I should be happy to see him grow.
But my heart is still full of sourness, I don't know if it's for my own loss, or for his loss, of course, I have also gained and grown, but I believe that this growth must have gone through a very painful transformation.
After a while, there was a shout of patrolling in the yard, obviously the fighting here is quite serious, it has alarmed the official, the patrol called out all the people in the yard, but the patrol here is just a simple understanding of the situation, I heard that both sides are involved in the fight, and the people on the other side are soldiers, the patrols don't say anything, collect the dead body, and go back to hand in.
In such a place, this kind of weapon fight is a common thing, not to mention that there are soldiers involved, and the patrols dare not arrest people easily, so after understanding the situation, report it to the superiors, and let the superiors go to the military, and these patrols can be regarded as having completed the task.
The sudden accident finally subsided.
Out of the door of the Xiangnan Club, Brother Rundong took me to the place where I ate rice noodles
