Chapter Sixty-Eight: Night
She walked on the way home, thinking about Achu and Chen Shicun. She never expected that the Red Spider would act so suddenly this time, if it weren't for Chen Shicun's blocking of the fatal blow for him, maybe the person who died in Huangquan would be Ah Chu, and the son of such a great and wise divine prophecy would fall.
Thinking of this, that young man named Chen Shicun was really a big fool, ready to squander the glorious years at the age of his prime, and his young and promising mentality suddenly exploded, like a meteor falling here.
Because of this incident, Achu revealed his true appearance and showed the coward's character to the fullest, showing that he was just a waste who could only escape, and when he ran away, everyone thought he was a wretched and irresponsible guy. The title of Son of Prophecy was different from the rest of his aura, but it hurt him. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, the son of prophecy in the minds of the two investigators turned out to be a waste! It's ridiculous.
"Achu ...... Why are you a wreck? When will you grow up? Chen Yunhan sighed helplessly, the lights at the three-way intersection are always dim, and the dusk in the dark is the light at the three-way intersection.
She is afraid of the dark, but the more she is afraid, the more you don't want to face it, it will always be there. So she could only endure her fear to face the darkness, and after a short ten seconds of darkness, there was light.
"Whew~" She exhaled and walked out of the three-way intersection. The street lamps on both sides reflect each other, and the lights in the glass seem to be filled with countless fireflies. She always believed that where there is darkness, there must be light. Even if it is not as dazzling as the bright light, it can be like a glimmer of light like a firefly, and it can also bring people out of the darkness.
"You...... What a fool. Chen Yunhan shook his head helplessly, the word "fool" was extremely clear. It feels like there is no sense of disobedience, just like growing up with Achu.
"Ahh He sneezed into the air and almost spilled the instant noodles on his hand. This sneeze was already the eighteenth time today, and it was not so much a cold as someone silently cursing him because he was still alive.
He squatted on the sofa with instant noodles and watched the two thousand and second episodes of his beloved "The Adventures of the Flying Pigs". The night is vast, life is short, this long day is really declining home, on the way home bought a fragrant hot dog, who knows that halfway through the meal, God has no eyes, and was taken away by a wild dog on the side of the road.
He took a bite of braised beef noodles, the 43-inch Changhong TV was in front of him, and the "Adventures of the Flying Pig" that everyone was watching had been continuously broadcast from a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day to the present, and it has never stopped.
"I love braised beef noodles, Laotan sauerkraut beef noodles, mushroom beef noodles, beef noodles...... Meat noodles...... Face. β
It's impossible to reason with a puppy, right? It's impossible to fight a dog, right? Anyway, there are instant noodles at home, which is harmless. But think about what it's like for a wild dog to eat a hot dog.
"The noodles are delicious, the soup is delicious, but there are too few ingredients......" He looked at the noodles in the bowl that there were not many left, one bucket of instant noodles was not enough, and two buckets of instant noodles were too much.
Suppose he was a puppy, a stray puppy, hiding in Tibet every day. When you see something delicious, you will secretly eat it, and when you see others eating the leftovers, you will eat it without hesitation. In the summer, sleep in a cool place, and find a warm place to spend the winter in the winter.
It's another year to be a Snoopy puppy, free and happy, not bound by life, not bound by fate. You live your puppet life, and I live my free dog life.
But he also wants to be a lazy Garfield, and he wants to be a colorful Snoopy. The so-called fish and bear's paw can't have both, so he wants them all.
"Ahh He sneeze again, then shrugged his nose and inhaled. Is he really fed up with a day of intermittent sneezing, can't he have a good time? It feels like ...... A curse! I don't know how many knives I have been stabbed in the back. It must be that some enemy has a grudge against him and curses him silently behind his back.
"Alas...... It must be Huang Tian's gangs, they must be scolding me, and I will settle accounts with them another day. "Achu suspects his brother for a very simple reason, pure revenge.
"It's gone, only the soup remains......" Achu took a fork and rummaged through the bowl, some miscellaneous ingredients he couldn't eat at all, so he could only drink them with the soup. It can't be wasted, and the soup of instant noodles is also the essence, so you can drink it to your heart's content
His living expenses were completely gone, and all his pockets, including the piggy bank, were empty. I can't afford to eat, and I still talk about birthday gifts, and I can't protect myself by crossing the river with mud bodhisattvas. If you don't go out to earn living expenses, you will have to ask someone to clean up the body in a few days, and then it will be another expense.
"Why hasn't that guy come back yet? Where else can you fool around at this late hour? I was locked in the toilet for half a day, and she was fine and happy outside. He squatted on the sofa and talked about losing his enthusiasm for life, and his whole person was almost empty. He looked at the clock on the wall, the two hour and minute hands, you chased after me.
"Mime...... What is a mime? Achu spread out on the sofa, he seemed to remember a world comedy master, who once acted in mime. At that time, silent films were born, and the sound of movies was not used at that time, perhaps because of technical limitations.
He took his mobile phone to open the Baidu browser and searched for the word "silent film", and the webpage quickly opened, and there was information about silent film at the top.
"A silent film, or 'silent film,' is a film that doesn't have any dubbing, soundtrack, or sound that harmonizes with the picture. Silent films rely heavily on a lot of body movements and facial expressions so that the audience knows and understands the inner thoughts of the characters. Silent film is a collective term for all films that preceded the invention of sound films. After the birth of cinema, due to the limitations of film sound technology, early films were films with images without dialogue and sound effects. In order to solve this limitation, silent films mostly use single-screen subtitles to express important dialogue and sound effects, so they are also called 'silent films'. β
"During the silent film period, a large number of film masters were born, such as Méliès, Griffiths, Chaplin, Eisenstein, René Clare, Murnau, etc., who have accumulated and perfected a mature set of image montage art in the practice of film creation."
Achu read the entries on his phone carefully and completely, as if he was called up by a teacher to read the text aloud in class.
"Oh...... O Chaplin! I'll just say how familiar it is, and Buster Keaton, who is known as the 'Cold-Faced Smiler'. Achu bit his fingers as if he understood. Mime pays attention to the body language and facial expressions of the characters, and uses these two points to perform the masters of mime, so that the audience knows what the film is about, how the plot develops, and the psychological changes of the characters.
"That's amazing, but ...... I don't know mime, how can I shoot it? There are only a few days left...... "He grabbed his hair, and he didn't know anything about the technique of filming mimes.
"You'll eat instant noodles for dinner?" Chen Yunhan walked into the living room, and she came back. She looked directly at Achu with both eyes, that guy was eating instant noodles with Sprite, and he was living a very chic life like this.
"I ...... I'm too lazy to cook, so I just cook a bowl of instant noodles and eat it, I can't die anyway. Achu threw his phone aside and spread it on the sofa towards the ceiling, "Hey...... No, why did you come back so late? Did you ask Huang Tian to lock me in the toilet? β
Chen Yunhan didn't know what Ah Chu was talking about at all, she only told Huang Tianyi and the others to drag Ah Chu not to go to the club, who knew that guy actually came up with this trick. But it's okay, anyway, it dragged on smoothly, and the rest of the matter doesn't matter.
"Don't look at me, I don't know anything, and I didn't tell them to put you in the bathroom." Chen Yunhan didn't care, she put the dishes on the table, ready to sit down and drink saliva.
Achu pointed at Chen Yunhan and said, "Then you also instructed them to deliberately block my way, so that I couldn't go to the club, and in the end, I was taught a lesson by Qu Mengcheng." It's all your fault that they left the filming of the mime to me alone. β
"Oh, yes." She nodded slightly and poured herself a glass of boiled water to drink.
"What do you mean?" Achu didn't understand what the girl meant, "I have to be in charge of the whole mime now!" Tell me how I'm going to shoot! I don't even have a camera, so I can't shoot. It's all your fault, otherwise I wouldn't be so embarrassed. β
"Hmm...... It's all my fault. Chen Yunhan nodded slightly, holding a mug with half a glass of water and didn't know what to say. That guy didn't know the seriousness of the matter at all, and he still cared about the affairs of the community, Mr. Chen Shicun lost his life in order to save him, but that guy didn't even mention this matter, and he didn't even be grateful, is that guy so ruthless and unrighteous?
Chen Yunhan looked at Achu, "You...... Is there anything else you haven't told me? β
"Huh? Thing...... What's the matter? Achu pretended not to understand, "Hmm...... No, there's nothing else to do, what's the other thing besides being put in the toilet, you're so funny. β
Chen Yunhan didn't demolish him, the guy didn't say anything, but his eyes betrayed him. Chen Yunhan knew everything, but he didn't ask again.
"I bought some vegetables, I don't know if it's to your liking." Chen Yunhan cleaned up the garbage on the table and threw the instant noodle box into the trash. Achu looked at the bag full of fresh vegetables, and didn't know where to start, and there were gradually no fresh vegetables at home. Because he was too lazy to buy groceries, and secondly, he had no money.
"Of course it's appetizing! Anyway, it's much better than instant noodles. Ah Chu was full of smiles, as if he hadn't tasted Chen Yunhan's cooking skills yet.
"Well...... Chen Yunhan nodded slightly, "That's good, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it." β
With that, she walked into the kitchen with the ingredients. Ah Chu's expression suddenly paled, what do you mean by being afraid that you won't be able to eat? Is there poison in the food? This guy is going to murder me?
Chen Yunhan washed vegetables in the kitchen, "Children at your stage should eat more vegetables and eat less nutritious things." Now is the time to grow your body, you have to eat three meals a day, each meal is balanced and nutritious, nutrition is the most important. Children who are never picky eaters can grow taller and fatter. If you don't eat, how can you have the strength to revolution. β
"Hmm......" Achu somewhat agreed with Chen Yunhan's words, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." β
But he always felt that something was not right, and he wondered why the girl would say that. Is it just pure concern? But this concern is too weird, isn't it? The face is impermanent, and the tone is too quiet, as if the other party is holding a cold knife on your neck to persuade you to live a regular life.
But there is a sense of affinity, like my sister persuading you to eat less instant noodles and eat more, is she really my sister in her last life?
"Did she really want to murder me through dinner?" Achu suddenly shivered, and an inexplicable yin wind blew into every goosebump. He watched Chen Yunhan busy in the kitchen, the ingredients were ready, and the pot was slowly heated over low heat.
Suddenly, she stands there with a shovel and turns her head and smiles at you, and there is a clear glass in front of the living room on the right hand side of the kitchen. What did her inexplicable smile mean?
"Perhaps...... It's because I'm thinking too much, it's just a sweet smile like a sister. Achu tried his best to comfort himself, and he continued to watch "The Adventures of the Flying Pig".
Achu sat upright on the chair, the dried chrysanthemums were not watered, and before he saw him, he smelled the food first. Chen Yunhan walked in with two plates of food, Achu shrugged his nose, his nostrils were like opening a floodgate, and the smell of food was like a home-cooked meal made by his mother. Although he had never seen his mother's cooking, he thought that his mother's cooking was the same all the time.
"Chicken legs! Fragrant chicken thighs! I didn't expect you to cook! Achu was full of joy, and he said that he liked it very much in the face of the girl who could cook.
"Of course, who doesn't know how to cook these days." Chen Yunhan put the dishes on the table, picked up the ceramic bowl and handed half a bowl of rice to Achu.
Achu told Chen Yunhan, "Not everyone can cook, for example, Huang Tian, he can't cook." β
"Stop talking nonsense, try my craft." Chen Yunhan sat down and watched Achu eat.
Achu picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken leg and bit it down. The fresh meat is juicy, the taste is excellent, it is one of the hundreds of fireworks in the world, such a delicious food, the taste of chicken thighs echoes in Achu's taste buds.
"It smells so good!" Achu gnawed on chicken bones to realize his dream, he was like a cute puppy, and finally tasted the chicken legs.
"It seems that my cooking skills are quite good, and I will have a chance to compete in the future." Chen Yunhan didn't dare to say anything else, he looked at Ah Chu immersed in the fragrant chicken legs, as if all his troubles were blocked.
Chen Yunhan pursed her lips and was silent, she didn't want to discuss Chen Shicun's matter with Achu, and she didn't know how to tell him. Chen Shicun's death is inseparable from Achu, after all, Chen Shicun died for Achu. Mr. Chen Shicun died heroically, but Achu fled in embarrassment, and all kinds of labels of waste and waste were attached to him, and the four words irresponsible were unforgettable.
"Waste? Loser? Irresponsible? Decrepit boy? Still is...... Children of Prophecy? Chen Yunhan was upset, no one expected things to come so suddenly.
Perhaps these inconsequential words are connected as, "The child of prophecy is irresponsible, and the child of waste is a waste." β
Chen Yunhan gradually became in a daze, "What about saying that you are as timid as a mouse?" Or praise you for your courage to run away? You're just an ordinary star, lonely and dim. What does it mean if you're a meteor and it leaves a mysterious trail when it cuts through the night sky? β
"Fall!"
"Have you ever seen a shooting star?" Chen Yunhan asked Achu.
Achu bit the chicken leg and shook his head, "I want to see it, but I can't see it, I guess I won't see a meteor in this life." I also want to see meteors, like any meteor shower, the Pegasus Meteor Fist in "Saint Seiya", or the Abaddon meteorite in "Extreme Division". β
Chen Yunhan smiled, naΓ―ve children, will have innocent and simple thoughts, she said: "Bright light, meteors pierce the night sky, hidden in the gorgeous light, who will remember the trajectory of the meteor." β
"What? What are you talking about? Achu looked at her and muttered to herself, like him, she always liked to talk to herself.
"It's okay, you can hurry up and eat." Chen Yunhan poured a glass of water and handed it to Achu, then she stood up and prepared to leave.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Achu asked.
"I've eaten it." She replied.
He watched Chen Yunhan get up and leave, leaving behind the sentence "I'm tired", and then beat his back and went upstairs to rest. Achu sat alone in his seat, chewing chicken in his mouth, and the boiled water in his mug did not ripple at all.
Maybe she's really tired, autumn is almost gone, people are ready to hibernate, and it's no wonder that she has gone to bed early lately. Don't ask him how he knows, the room is next door, there is no sound, this is not sleeping, what is it for.
"After eating, brushing your teeth, going to bed, the day passes, life is not easy, spicy stuffing!" He cleaned up the dishes and chatted with the air.
Chen Yunhan leaned against the door, listening to Ah Chu's chatter downstairs, it seemed that he was still a second-year teenager. The second disease is that I have watched too much anime. Otherwise, there are those who are overself-conscious, arrogant, and feel ununderstood and unhappy, especially those adults who are "mixed with formed values and childish ideas that have not yet been detached".
Perhaps, that's what the Internet says anyway.
