Moon Boss
A truly arrogant person, no one can walk into her story; If she didn't say it, no one would know what she had been through.
Lijiang, Dali has always been known as the capital of sexual encounters, and many people stay there as soon as they go. The boss in this story is one of those people. But unlike others; She was not left by the impulse of this Dali Lijiang, nor was she left because of the two places in Dali Lijiang that made people sound excited. She said that the reason why she stayed was very simple, the person she liked was married to someone else here, and she planned to open a restaurant from the beginning, wait for the person she loved, and see what kind of girl the person she loved married.
The first time I met Boss Moon, I thought she was a boy, with short and neat hair, a washed slightly yellowed white shirt, a pair of washed white denim shorts, and a pair of wild blue slippers. It wasn't until the moment she opened her mouth that I understood what it meant not to be good-looking, and judging from her appearance, there was nowhere to tell me that this was a girl. I still remember the first thing she said, "Do you want to stay in a hotel?" Do you have a reservation? You can't imagine that sweet timbre came from such a girl's voice, that kind of voice is really crisp and sweet, she was surprised to see us, she didn't show discomfort and didn't want to help us relieve the embarrassment, just said very peacefully: "Please take your ID card, come and rest early on the first day"
The photographer and I did as she was told. To be honest, I have been thinking about this girl that night, although I didn't think she was so good-looking, but it just amazed me, so that I wanted to know more about her, from the Brahmaputra River to the Cangshan Erhai Lake, I have heard many people's stories along the way, but none of the people in the story made me so fascinated, but it was this girl who only saw one eye, I just felt that she had a story for me to understand.
The next morning, I was picked up by the photographer, because I had negotiated with the editorial department that the manuscript would be submitted after this month, and the cameraman might be dragged down by me, and I was really more anxious than the editor. When I got up, I saw the boss holding his guitar and playing and singing softly on the wooden stool in the small yard, I looked at the time, BJ time was 4:46 in the morning. I walked over and said hello, she nodded to me, I'm not that kind of elegant person, usually I hear folk songs playing, I can't even watch it, but that day I sat there, sleepy, listened to three songs. Boss Moon quipped: "I thought you loved rock and roll", and I replied honestly: "Actually, I don't love that, maybe God arranged me". The videographer may not be able to hold back and shout, "Okay, huh? After appreciating it, hurry up and shoot it, I want to hand in the work, Sister Xiangyang"
When I got up, Boss Moon smiled against the light and said, "Come on", I don't know why I suddenly feel very warm, it's really strange.
When I finished the day's shooting, when I went back in the evening, it was raining lightly, we had to put the umbrella on the equipment, after all, I had no money to compensate, I went back and got wet, sneezed and chatted, the cameraman sneezed while wiping his baby camera and said: "It's over, Ah Qiu, yes, Ah Ah Qiu, I'm going to catch a cold", the retoucher turned on the computer and pretended to be disgusted and said: "Then, you, you, you, Ah Qiu, don't infect me" I was just about to answer, when the moon boss knocked on the door and came in, poured a bowl of ginger tea for one of us and said: "Don't catch a cold, Dali is not very friendly this season", the moon boss gave me a little contrast, I have always been a straightforward character, I asked: "Why is it suddenly good to us?" It's not like it came in one day."
She smiled really nicely, with starlight in her eyes and a mouth as beautiful as a pair of braces. She said: "Because you are the first person to listen to me quietly in the morning and listen to me play three songs, and tell me that you don't like it, I am a little curious, I want to know a little bit about you", I don't wonder why she wants to understand me, after all, this is Dali, there are really too many incredible things, but there are not many people who can meet people with attractive stories.
I settled on the first draft that night, and after talking to the team, I decided to write the story of Boss Moon, and of course, she agreed.
On the third day, she closed her guitar shop and went with us to the ancient city of Shuanglang, and she told her story on the way.
Boss Moon said that she met the boy she loved at the graduation party of her third year of high school, and the boy was just like her now, but the slightly yellowed short sleeves of her washed hair were not soaked in bleach, they were really washed yellow, and the same was true for jeans. She also said that at that time, she secretly paid for her life in her heart at a glance; The tsunami was secretly calmed down in her heart, even though it had destroyed a city.
After that glance, goodbye was college, and the boy we called him Mr. X.
Boss Moon met Mr. X again in the criminal investigation class, because the two of them are high school alumni, and Boss Moon is that kind of person, so they hit it off, they are together every day, they do everything together, everyone says that the two of them are together, but only the two of them know that there is nothing between them; When it came to graduation, Mr. X suddenly disappeared, no one could find him, and everyone was rumoring that Mr. X had passed away. But she didn't believe it, she didn't choose to give up, and decided to insist on finding her husband to make up for the regrets of the past four years, she wanted to be with him and spend the rest of her life with him, and there could be no regrets in her dictionary.
She chose to cut off her long hair, from criminal investigation analysis to scene investigation, whether it was murder or floating corpses, she was not afraid, she said, when she went to the scene, she knew that she believed it, believed the rumor.
At this point in the story, when the story reached the destination, the photographer was fascinated and asked urgently: "What happened later?" And then? ”; Boss Moon jumped out of the car and said, "Later? Later, I will talk about it next time", the photographer is a little aggrieved holding his baby? said to those who were a little aggrieved: "When is the next time?" , Boss Moon said: "I don't know, it may be a cloudy day, or it may be a cloudy year, who knows", the photographer walked a few steps and turned around and asked me: "Sister Xiangyang, why don't you speak, don't you have any feelings?"
I shook my head; I didn't really have any feelings at the time, I knew that the story was wonderful at the beginning, whether it was a promise for life at a young age, or a lonely throw by the moon boss for love, but it was all used to pave the way for the amazing behind.
Shuanglang Ancient City is different, the scenery is really pleasant, logically speaking, we should stay here, continue to move forward to the scene, but I don't want to, I don't know why, the ghost made the god drive back to Xizhou Ancient Town at night, back to the Moon Boss's B&B.
On the way back, I heard the second half of the story, and I thought I was probably as curious as a photographer to find Mr. X.
The story of the second half is, as expected, really exciting. Boss Moon says that she finally found her Mr. X, but it was already 5 years later; The photographer asked anxiously: "How is he doing, is he good, is he married?" Boss Moon lit a cigarette, didn't smoke it or pinch it off his mouth, and just let it burn, and the carriage was silent, and everyone was silent, as if they were holding some solemn ceremony, waiting for the host to speak. The smoke burned out, and Boss Moon took a deep breath and said; "I'm married, so I'm probably doing well. When I found him, he was buried in a river or lake, and his wife came here every year to pray for him," the photographer apologized like a child who had done something wrong.
But I don't think the story should be just like that, it's just his wife's blessing, it's not worth Boss Moon to stay here, I think I can know more.
When I arrived at the place of accommodation, I went over to find the moon boss with a drink at night, and before I could say anything, the moon boss preemptively said, "I knew you would come back", I was a little embarrassed. Maybe it's because that's her sadness, but I want to uncover it with my own hands, or maybe it's because of the careful thinking she guessed, I still don't know why I'm so embarrassed that I blush.
Boss Moon poured a glass of wine, took a sip and said with relief: "It's okay to tell you, I've been holding it in my heart for a long time, and no one knows." You're the first", I said, "It's not a blessing, I'd like to hear about it"
Boss Moon looked at the moon like someone else's story, talking about her Mr. X.
She said that when she found Mr. X, she had not yet been sprinkled into Erhai Lake, and she was still a living person at that time, but Mr. X always said that she didn't know her, and said that he already had a wife, and hoped not to bother him anymore.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't think of what to say, so I could only pat her on the shoulder to comfort her, and then she choked up with a glass of wine and said, "You know, I didn't think he would die, I never thought about losing him, I thought, I just didn't recognize me, I was afraid that I would be entangled, that's all." I hugged her and didn't say anything, after all, I'm not a storyteller and I don't know what to say. She continued: "I thought I could just feel at ease, but he walked around in front of me every day, do you know the feeling of someone you haven't seen for five years, lost and regained? It's really a can't suppress liking, but no matter what I do, he is indifferent, but he helped me out when I encountered robbers, when my guitar studio first opened, every day to help, the funny thing is, he doesn't love me, no matter what he says, he is refusing, I even plan to be nameless for the rest of my life, and even scolded by my family, but he just doesn't love me. The last time, the last time I saw him, he told me to wait for him to come back, and he said, come back and give me a satisfactory answer, but one wait is a week, and one farewell is a lifetime; I hated it to death at that time, I thought why he lied to me again, I naively thought he had gone back to his hometown, I went to his house, I wanted to ask him for an explanation, and I saw him too", I thought I heard love, I interrupted very rudely: "So the result is satisfactory?". Boss Moon looked up at me, a little confused: "After so many years, I never know whether I am full of dissatisfaction, because I have seen his mourning hall", I swallowed back the reason that came to my mouth, and smacked hard in my heart for my ignorance.
She took a deep breath, patted her face, and continued, "You know what? He went to be an anti-drug undercover agent, he went to be a hero of the whole nation, he didn't recognize me as afraid of hurting me, at the beginning I always thought about whether I was sad or not, but after a long time, I felt that it was worth it, and I didn't want to be sad or not, I just felt that it was worth it, I loved a hero. A real one who has never changed, well, and, what I'm most proud of is that the person I love loves me too, because the content of the letter is how much he misses me, how much he likes me, but is afraid to face me, oops, this is the end of it, this is the end of my story"
I clinked glasses with her, and I knew that there were stories that were more exciting, but she was such an arrogant person who wanted to save face, she wouldn't tell me, it was the little beauty she left for herself and Mr. X, the little beauty that no one was allowed to disturb, and I got this story, and it was enough until now.
The love story of an anti-narcotics policeman and a retired criminal policeman who opened a folk song restaurant is enough. For the moon boss to find someone to confide in, for me to find a good story to hand in, the trip to Dali is over.
On the day I left, I promised Boss Moon that the next time I came back, I would tell her my story.
