Chapter 101: Tango for Three II
At this moment, Xiao Yao felt two shadows enveloping him.
He looked up, and saw a shriveled old man on crutches standing in front of him, with a hunched back, his face full of ravines, and his expression intriguing.
Beside the old man, there was an expressionless Yu Luying, who was pulling the ring, continuing, looking out the window.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao was startled, and subconsciously let go of the girl in his arms, and put his two palms on his thighs.
Only then did he realize that the empty carriages at the starting station were now overcrowded.
Xiao Yao's gaze passed through the crowded head and landed on the place where Yu Luying was originally sitting—there was an equally shriveled old woman sitting there, with a kind smile on her face.
The young man understood, according to Yu Luying's usual habits, she must have taken the initiative to give up her seat to this old woman.
Of course, this is a virtue that can be celebrated, but why would you deliberately draw another pressure to us?
"Xiao Yao, give up your seat to Grandpa." Shen Jie immediately made important instructions.
"Hey." Xiao Yao was just about to stand up, but suddenly he had a feeling of unconvincing.
Why can you sit there and instruct your "subordinates" to get up and give up their seats? Is it just because you are the eldest lady?
"Why don't you give up your seat yourself, but command someone else to give up your seat?" Xiao Yao politely raised the bar.
"Okay," Shen Jie nodded and stood up: "Let the legs go, you sit, grandpa, you sit with me." ”
"Don't don't, don't don't," Xiao Yao quickly stood up: "I'm joking with you, you sit, grandpa, you sit with me." ”
Seeing this, the old man showed his leaky teeth and said: "Oh, take (note: you) are going to fight, scare and scare (thank you), I still have eight stops to get off!" ”
As he spoke, he gestured with his finger a "eight".
"There are eight more stops to the terminal." Yu Luying reminded the two at the right time, sounding a little gloating.
The final result was that everyone didn't sit, Shen Jie pressed the old man's shoulder and asked him to sit down, and the three of them stood together in the carriage like a sardine can, holding the ring in their hands, looking at each other.
It seemed strange to stand like this, but the three of them didn't know what to say for a while.
In the end, it was Shen Jie who broke the silence first: "Hey, Luying, that day in the hospital, you said that you were going to Yushan in the evening, did you go later?" ”
"Go." Yu Luying blurted out subconsciously.
"Oh, then why are you ...... today" Shen Jie struggled to find words.
"I just got home this morning, isn't it right away to come to see my sister?" Yu Luying said.
"Oh......" The bus slowly stopped in front of the red light, and Shen Jie grabbed the ring and tried hard to maintain the balance of her body: "You said last time that you would go to Yushan for pilgrimage, what saint can you make a pilgrimage to Yushan?" ”
"Yes, shouldn't the pilgrimage go to the Vatican and Jerusalem in Rome?" Xiao Yao also asked.
"Yushan is also a holy place, sealed by the Holy See." Yu Luying recalled vigorously: "The Yushan Holy Mother Basilica on the top of the mountain seems to be still a Class B Apostolic Basilica or something......
"So, the Holy See canonized it as a temple, and it is a temple? Is there anything particularly sacred about it itself? ...... like Jerusalem" Xiao Yao asked curiously, "The Pope himself has never been to Yushan, has he?" ”
"yes, that's pretty much it, the church says yes, I don't know." Yu Luying was slightly annoyed, because Xiao Yao's question seemed to be raising the bar. In fact, she was neither interested in the topic nor could answer: "What is special...... Ah, it's because of Our Lady of Yushan, right? ”
"Our Lady of Yushan, what is the relationship with the Virgin Mary?" Shen Jie spoke gently: "Luying, we are all laymen, don't mind the questions you ask, idiots." ”
"Mmmm~" Yu Luying made a negative voice from her nose: "Our Lady of Sheshan is Mary, and there is only one Virgin." ”
"When I was playing in Portugal, I came across the local procession of the Virgin, and they said it was Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Fátima......" Shen Jie recalled.
Yu Luying couldn't understand the phrase, but she could hear Fátima's pronunciation: "Our Lady of Fatima is the appearance of Our Lady in Fatima, Portugal, in the last century, just as Our Lady of Luther is the appearance of Our Lady in France, and Our Lady of Guadalupe is the appearance of Our Lady in Mexico...... There is only one Madonna. ”
"Good girl," Xiao Yao asked with interest, "Then the Holy Mother of Yushan is the appearance of the Holy Mother in Yushan?" I also want to go to Kangkang when I have time. ”
Yu Luying shook her head: "No...... Our Lady should not have appeared in Yushan. ”
"Then who is Our Lady of Yushan?" Xiao Yao felt that he couldn't be rectified.
"I don't know!" Yu Luying spit out these three words in a stiff tone, biting her lower lip and looking at the tips of her shoes.
"Oh, Xiao Yao, you can shut up, Lu Ying, let's ignore him." Shen Jie hurriedly played a round.
Xiao Yao felt a little inexplicable, I sincerely asked you for advice, if you don't know, just say you don't know, what are you angry about?
"Well, I recently watched "The Tudors" on the Internet, in which Catherine of Aragon and her daughter Mary often hold a string of beads with a cross hanging underneath, praying in front of the statue of the Virgin, what is that?" Shen Jie continued to ask.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Jie felt a little speechless, because "The Tudors" would not premiere in Grand Canada until three years later, and she watched it on the "extranet" in Shen Tianyun's room. And the reason why she chose to watch this drama is mainly to learn more about her spiritual fortress "Mary Tudor", and by the way, she can also practice English listening.
Fortunately, Yu Luying didn't care, just took out a round plastic box from her small shoulder bag and gently unscrewed it: "Is this it?" ”
"Yes, yes, that's what it looks like," Shen Jie took the string of black onyx beads from Yu Luying's hand: "Wow, it's so beautiful!" ”
"This is the rosary," Yu Luying said with a smile, "If my sister likes it, I will give it to you." ”
"That's embarrassing—then you're welcome." Shen Jie wrapped the agate rosary around her left wrist two or three times, so that the small cross hung down: "It's so beautiful!" ”
Yu Luying wanted to speak and stopped, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong? Say yes. Shen Jie said with a smile.
"Hmm...... The rosary of the Rose Sutra is not used as jewelry," Yu Luying's voice became smaller and smaller: "It is used to recite the Rosary Sutra, if my sister wants to learn, I can teach you." ”
Shen Jie was stunned for a moment: "Okay, okay, okay, Luying, you must teach me." By the way, what is the relationship between the Rosary and the Bible...... What's the difference......? ”
Why is Shen Jie so interested in these? Xiao Yao stared at her, and an inexplicable scene came to mind.
Bo Ge celebrated Mass on the altar, and he sat on the same bench with Yu Luying and Shen Jie, one on the left and one on the right, and the two girls wore white veils, like brides.
Suddenly, Bo Ge threw the chalk in his hand straight over, hitting his forehead: "The Lord said that men should be single-minded!" ”
Xiao Yao shook his head, dispelled the absurd illusion in front of him, took out the Motorola, and prepared to play with the snake for a while.
The priest was not a teacher, he could not have rubbed people with chalk, and he was under the impression that the Bible had never opposed polygamy.
He stood on the bus, holding the ring in his hand, listening to Yu Luying and Shen Jie chattering inconsequential words. After they finished chatting about the Rose Sutra, the conversation turned to the common topics of middle school girls: hair care, skin care, gossip, homework, clothes, jewelry, and then began to talk about Xiao Yao as if he was not there.
Xiao Yao listened quietly to their topic, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time, and he suddenly felt that a journey like this was extremely romantic.
Did you just say that there are only eight stations? What a pity.
Xiao Yao hopes that this journey will never come to an end—at least slowly.
It's a pity that Yu Luying doesn't think so.
I had a cello tutor class this afternoon, and I didn't have any plans to go out, so I didn't wash my hair in advance.
Take a nap, get up to class, wait for the teacher to leave and practice the piano for two hours, have her favorite variety shows in the evening, and write out her summer vacation homework a little.
All of this is gone, and instead of running to a place so far away from Qingpu, he will definitely be questioned by his mother when he returns.
What's more, is it to accompany the person you like and take wedding photos with his current one? Off the line.
What is this? Light bulb? Clown? A little ...... with a foot in the side Small......? Heaven and earth can be seen, I didn't come voluntarily at all.
And then what? first watched these two people talk to me and me in front of me, and then I want to accompany one of them, standing in my own position, the girl who can't like it at the moment keeps chatting awkwardly, awkwardly.
No one thinks it's a good experience, does it? Why are these eight stations so long?
……
The car stopped, a few people went down, and then more people poured in, and now Xiao Yao felt the pressure.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!" He turned around and yelled.
Since Xiao Yao couldn't stand the crowding in the carriage, it was naturally conceivable how Shen Jie felt at this moment.
I believe you're a ghost......
"Quickly enjoy the scenery and culture unique to each city", refers to the crowding.
"Next to the uncle and aunt who just came home from shopping", this is not bad at all, but this aunt, the food in your hand is still wet, can you not hit my skirt?
"Listen to them with kindness and tolerance, and talk about their interesting experiences", someone on the other end of the carriage quarreled in the Modu dialect, just for a little trivial bump......
"Smart life and real life" refers to the smell of pervasive, pervasive and penetrating into the nostrils, where the smell of sweat and diesel is mixed together...... Even the taste of durian?
Durian, hey, big sister, that's durian! How can there still be a live chicken? What is the quality of public places?
The old aunt carrying durian and chickens squeezed past her and brushed Shen Jie's arm.
She hates being touched in any form by strangers anywhere on her body, especially strangers of the opposite sex.
However, in such a crowded situation, it seems that it is difficult to completely eliminate the collision of the body-
Xiao Yao wondered at first, why Shen Jie would drill into his arms in front of Yu Luying, and soon he realized that Shen Jie was using him, as well as Yu Luying, as a human wall to separate the surging crowd.
As we all know, Comrade Shen Jie is not a love brain full of girlish hearts, but this does not mean that she has never fantasized about the scene when she went to take wedding photos.
In all the scenarios, she never imagined that it would be "riding this stupid (muffled) bus with her son-in-law's ex-girlfriend." ”
Why would I accede to such a silly (silenced) request? How can you bring it up?
"Xiao Yao, let's get off the train, and we'll get off at the next stop." Shen Jie gasped and made this request, and her tone was unquestionable.
"But......" Xiao Yao looked embarrassed, and tried to open his arms to hold up a little space for the two girls.
"Sister, bear with me, there are still three or four stops to go." Yu Luying also persuaded so.
Xiao Yao suddenly realized that this posture, coupled with being squeezed, looked like he was holding the two of them at the same time.
The slight milky fragrance on Shen Jie's body went straight to her nose, and the jasmine flavor should come from Yu Luying.
Yu Luying was actually aware of this situation, she felt that she should withdraw and dodge, but there was nowhere to hide, she wanted to remind Xiao Yao loudly, and she was worried that she would indirectly remind Shen Jie of this matter, and became "three hundred taels of silver here".
Therefore, she simply pretended to be a dull natural stupid and didn't know anything.
Even, there is a little joy in my heart.
What the hell are you excited! Yu Luying couldn't wait to give herself or Xiao Yao a slap.
Of course, Shen Jie had long been accustomed to Xiao Yao's embrace, and this was not a novel experience for her.
However, she didn't need Yu Luying to remind her, she could also notice that Xiao Yao seemed to be holding more than one person, so she was inevitably unhappy.
But in this situation, she didn't know what to say or do to express her opposition and dissatisfaction.
She only felt that the man and the woman were like two big trees that surrounded themselves, covering the sky and the sun, so that they could not see the scene "outside" at all.
Damn it...... Why...... I just can't, grow taller!
The sense of oppression from Yu Luying made Shen Jie feel frustrated.
But what Shen Jie didn't know was that there was also a part of her body that Yu Luying envied.
Because they were squeezed together, Yu Luying and Shen Jie were very close to each other.
The pair of turbulent fawns were right under their noses, just like that, sticking to their bodies.
The visual and other sensory impacts of this close contact are not felt at normal social distancing.
A faint, inexplicable inferiority complex surged up, Yu Luying took half a step back, and broke away from Xiao Yao's arm.
Because, she didn't want Xiao Yao to use her body to take advantage of Shen Jie.
I can't let this guy continue to take advantage of my sister, huh.
The stop-and-go bus suddenly stopped on the side of the road, opened the back door, and the people standing on the bus went down halfway, Shen Jie breathed a sigh of relief and gave up her willfulness of insisting on getting off the bus immediately.
The back door was closed, the car started suddenly, and Xiao Yao accidentally bumped into Yu Luying again, and apologized repeatedly.
After the three separated, the atmosphere on the field was a little awkward for a while.
"Cough," Yu Luying coughed, and this time the person who had nothing to say became her: "So sister, do you know how to recite the Rose Sutra?" ”
"Pretty much it's about the same, right? So this big bead means reciting the Sutra of God, and the small bead is reciting the Sutra of the Virgin? ”
"Well, the rosary is mainly used for counting, and it can also help the person holding it to gather his mind," Yu Luying said eloquently: "Uncle also said that the blessed rosary also has the effect of exorcism and evil spirits...... Although I think I'm a bit superstitious. ”
These two people looked like sisters, and they looked pretty good-Xiao Yao watched the two girls talk intimately, and couldn't help but fall into a reverie.
It's greedy and immoral to think so, but if, I mean, if you can really be three people together, wouldn't it be good...... What about the wonderful?
If he had agreed to Shen Jie's ridiculous plan of "she is yours and you are mine" when he was swinging that day, what would he be like now?
Don't be stupid, even if Shen Jie really agrees, Yu Luying will never agree.
After all, her religion was monogamous, not another four-wigamous desert religion.
If her God had really existed, she would have rebuked me for hearing such an offensive inner activity of mine.
When Xiao Yao thought of this, the female driver suddenly braked suddenly, he staggered, instinctively took a few steps back, and then his right heel was stepped on heavily: "Ah-"
There was a sudden scolding in the carriage.
Xiao Yao instinctively "ah" only to find out that it was not himself who was stepped on the heel of his shoes, but Yu Luying.
However, instead of screaming, this Nizi had a blank face and was as calm as a professionally trained female spy.
The man who stepped on someone's glasses quickly retracted his foot, and apologized to Yu Luying repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”
It seems that Yu Luying's good intentions of "pretending to be stepped on are not herself" did not work.
What Xiao Yao didn't know was that Yu Luying's first reaction was to think that Xiao Yao was being stepped on, so she forcibly endured it.
Before Shen Jie could react, "Why is this being stepped on, but it is that who screamed", Xiao Yao had already stepped forward.
