Chapter Thirty-Eight: Re-appreciating "The Youth"
The credibility of the things on the browser should not be very large, but it is definitely not groundless, Liao Su subconsciously thought: In the future, you have to keep a little distance between yourself and Zhang Yuanbao, and the less you know, the safer.
My sister has been watching TV, and Liao Su didn't watch it anymore, he thought of the "Nianhua" he had watched during military training before, because of time, he only watched half of it, so it was better to finish watching this movie now.
Directly pull the progress bar to a place you haven't seen and continue to watch the story of "Nianhua".
There is a classic sentence in it, he said: "If that kind of love is love, I confirm that it is not mixed with any distractions, and it only brings people a feeling of sweetness and even happiness and satisfaction, so that every time I see that girl, I have an inexplicable tension and excitement in my heart." ”
The male protagonist likes a girl.,But he didn't dare to speak.,He recalled:"It's been a long time like this.,How can I let a girl know that I like her has become a daily fantasy at that time.,Nothing can resist the kind of noise brought by youth.,I told my heart to a good male classmate.。 ”
"The reason why I chose to tell him was because he had been with another female classmate in the neighboring class for a long time, and in that era when the mind was still relatively confined, the two of them were undoubtedly the envy of many classmates, and he promised to help pass the word to the girl."
After waiting anxiously, there was finally news, my classmate handed me a note, and my heart was pounding as a young man, covering up the panic at the beginning, and I ran to the grove behind the classroom to open the note when no one was paying attention, the content of which had been blurred with the passage of time.
But the conditions put forward in it are still unforgettable, that is, she must find a military thorn and a red scarf, in the early eighties, it was a time of social change, and I remember that boys at that time liked military thorns.
Being able to have a military thorn is definitely the envy of my classmates, but for me, it is undoubtedly a basin of cold water poured down, and I know that it is an impossible task.
Since then, I don't dare to look at the girl head-on, I am ashamed of the girl for not completing the task, and I also ran away in a panic when I met occasionally, and I could only pay attention to her from afar, and my inferiority complex and loss accompanied me through my unforgettable middle school stage.
I carefully kept that note for a long time.
After graduation, my classmates went their separate ways, I slowly tore up the note that had brought me loss, the shredded paper that went with the wind took away the beautiful but imperfect longing of my youth, and said goodbye to my ignorant youth with regret, leaving behind memories that were destined to be mixed with pain and happiness and unwillingness.
Two years later, I joined the work and went out into society, experienced the initial confusion, pain and adaptation of social life, and also wasted my youth wantonly, anesthetizing my brain at the same time, the figure of the girl occasionally appeared in the phantom.
After working for three or four years, gradually adjusting to the society we live in and the people around me, I decided to go back to the girl who haunted me.
It is not difficult to inquire about the whereabouts of the girl, knowing that she works in the hospital, she does not have the courage to go to the hospital to find her in person, and she is not willing to give up her childhood wishes, she went to the hospital twice, standing in the bustling crowd at a loss, hoping to have a beautiful encounter in the hospital, but none of us are the protagonists in the movie, such an opportunity is simply impossible.
In the days that followed, there were more and more things to do, and I realized that the girl's figure was drifting away from me.
Many years later, I gradually realized that I had missed the best time to find a girl, and if I had the courage to meet her at that time, I would not know the outcome, but I knew that I would have no regrets in the future.
Life is truly an amazing journey, some people pass by in front of you, and some people are never seen again. In the vast world, the sea of people is vast, and those who are destined to meet again must be arranged by God and the underworld.
Thirty-five years later, I met the girl I liked by chance, and the years didn't seem to have left too deep traces on her, and she was still beautiful in my eyes, but with a little more maturity.
After the surprise of the first meeting, we talked about the past, and there were many common topics, and I tentatively asked her about the story of the note, and she looked at a loss.
I think this may be the reserved nature of a mature woman, but I want to know what she thought at the time, and half-truths told her the contents of the note, and this time it was time for her to be serious.
After listening to my story, she was silent for a long time, sighed, looked at me resentfully, and said that the note was not written by her, and the classmate did not tell her that I liked her.
I was stunned in an instant, the note was fake? It turned out that the good wishes of his youth were actually his own wishful thinking.
No one told the girl that I liked her, and the news was undoubtedly a thunderclap on a sunny day, and it was all a beautiful misunderstanding that had been with me for more than thirty years, and the story sounded more like a joke.
And the protagonist of the joke is actually me, the mood when I know the truth is very complicated, recalling the plot of the past we sigh, a sigh, the truth of the note is not important at this time, sighing that the years have passed while having more insight into life.
On the road of life, there are no assumptions, and if you miss it, it will be a lifetime, and some people are destined to have no fate.
In fact, we have many beautiful misunderstandings in the journey of life, and some misunderstandings are still good not to know, at least, beautiful misunderstandings still have a complete dream, and misunderstandings that know the truth often destroy the perfection of the picture.
I would rather keep a beautiful dream forever, "Youth is full of a life, and every mistake will shape your future life", I like this passage from the writer Yan Geling.
Farewell, our memories are still beautiful and unforgettable, let the song "Those Flowers" be a summary of the fragrant years of our generation:
That laughter reminds me of my flowers,
Quietly open for me in every corner of my life.
I thought I would always be by her side,
Today we have departed in the vast sea of people,
They're all old, where are they,
That's it, we went our separate ways.
Luckily I was open with them,
Miss her, is she still driving?
They were blown away by the wind,
Scattered to the ends of the earth.
At this point, the story "Nianhua" is over, and Liao Su is very emotional, since he and Li Dieche have been "separated", it seems that there has been no "contact".
A class, but never said a word again, whether there was no such emotion in his heart, or something else, but from this moment on, Liao Su seemed to have a person firmly in his heart, a person he couldn't speak.
My sister was still angry, the phone kept ringing, she didn't answer, and then she turned off the phone directly, after Liao Su finished watching "Nianhua", my sister picked up the phone and didn't know whether to answer the phone or call, and after hanging up, she said to Liao Su: "Let's go, go to dinner." ”
Liao Su glanced outside, it was already dark, and asked, "What are you eating?" “
My sister walked out and said, "I'll take you to a good place." “
Then, my sister walked downstairs, Liao Su hurriedly followed, I watched the movie too seriously before and didn't find that it was already full of people, and as soon as they got up, someone else sat in the position of the two.
Sister led the way in front, Liao Su followed behind, and soon the two walked to the front of a big archway, and my sister walked in, the lights around were very dim, only there was a very bright light on the archway, Liao Su raised his head and glanced at the archway, which was written with four big words "Central Market".
Liao Su was shocked when he saw these words, combined with what Sister Jing had said, and wanted to remind his sister, but his sister had already walked in for several meters, so he hurriedly chased after him and grabbed his sister's arm.
My sister looked back at Liao Su and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Liao Su was a little panicked and said, "This is the central market, I heard that it is better not to come here at night." ”
My sister suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha...... It's okay, I'm here, it's safe. ”
Then, my sister took Liao Su's arm and walked in.
Liao Su has never been here at night, there are three streets in total, and on both sides are full of food stalls, from front to back, from left to right, large and small, dozens of stores, each shop is not big, and most of the tables are placed outside.
The business of each store was very good, and there were many people sitting outside, and Liao Su secretly glanced at those people, some of whom had bald heads, some took off their clothes to reveal their tattoos, and some were chatting loudly......
It seems that these people should be some "gangsters", and the central market is indeed a "mix of dragons and snakes", which makes Liao Su extremely uncomfortable, and even a little scared in his heart, if something happens, these people are not good.
He didn't dare to look around anymore, and silently followed behind his sister, and finally, what Liao Su was most worried about happened, the two were walking forward, and three big men blocked their way.
Liao Su took a look, the three of them were all ruffians, and one of the men who was not wearing a shirt walked up to his sister and said, "Little sister, it's very cute, accompany my brother to have two drinks!" ”
The two people were also in front, and a man with a "kill Matt" hairstyle echoed the person in front of him, saying: "Yes, it's boring to be alone, come, come and invite you to drink, hahaha......"
Usually at school with those classmates, Liao Su has the courage to fight, but these are all "gangsters" in the society, they are overwhelming, and they will definitely suffer a big loss, but as a boy, how can he let these people bully his sister.
Before my sister could speak, Liao Su stood in front of my sister and said, "We are here to eat...... His voice trembled a little, but before he finished speaking, Liao Su was pushed away by the man with the hairstyle of "Kill Matt".
The man said viciously, "What are you, dare to talk to our eldest brother like this, get out of the way." ”
Liao Su still wanted to step forward, the man walked over to block in front of Liao Su, but his sister never said a word, the "big brother" stretched out his right hand to his sister, Liao Su saw this and wanted to rush up but was held down by the man and couldn't move.
Just when the man was about to touch his sister's face, the man was knocked to the ground with a punch, and a man at least 1.8 meters tall stood up, followed by seven or eight people behind him, and the "big brother" was knocked to the ground.
The man bent down and said, "I'm sorry Brother Fu, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so spare the little brother this ......time."
The person in front of my sister didn't speak, and a person behind him said, "This is Brother Fu's friend, and you dare to provoke it." ”
When the man heard this, he hurriedly said to his sister: "I'm sorry aunt, I have no eyes......
My sister said one word coldly: "Get out of ......"
The man hurriedly ran back to his seat with the two younger brothers, and Liao Su hurriedly ran to his sister's side, and the sister said to Liao Su, "This is Brother Fu." ”
Then, my sister said to "Brother Fu": "This is my brother." ”
"Brother Fu" said with a smile, patted Liao Su's shoulder, and said, "If there is anything in the future, you just have to come to me." “
Liao Su nodded again and again and said thank you, and everyone went to a barbecue restaurant in the middle, where those "little brothers" sat at one table, and Liao Su, sister and "Brother Fu" sat at one table.
"Brother Fu" seems to be a frequent visitor here, and the boss came over and said directly: "'Brother Fu' or the old rules?" ”
"Brother Fu" smiled and said, "Yes, I have a new friend today, add more meat skewers and beer." ”
The boss said enthusiastically, "Okay, I'll be right away." ”
After speaking, the boss turned around and went to prepare, and my sister said to "Brother Fu": "'Brother Fu' My brother has just come back, and he is not familiar with the environment here, and I will trouble you to take care of him more in the future." ”
"Brother Fu" nodded and said to Liao Su with a smile: "No problem, there is a 'Silver Fishing Mahjong Parlor' on the other side of Jinniu Road, I am there, just come to me if there is anything." ”
He said to his sister again: "Your brother is my brother, don't worry, don't dare to say anything else, no one dares to touch him in Xicheng." ”
……
Liao Su couldn't stand this atmosphere at all, he just ate a little skewer hastily, and it was about eight o'clock in the evening, when his sister was going back to the dormitory, and the two of them left the central market.
Walking on the road, Liao Su looked at his sister with some disbelief, why did her once gentle and kind sister become so strong now, and her sister seemed to see that Liao Su had something to say, so she asked, "What's wrong?" Why don't you talk all the time? ”
Liao Su asked, "How did you know them, it seems that they are not serious people." ”
My sister stopped and said to Liao Su: "That person named "Brother Fu" is the security captain I met in the "Imperial City Dragon Vein" before. ”
"Imperial City Dragon Vein" Isn't this the rich area that Liu Qing said? Liao Su was thinking in his heart.
My sister continued: "In this place of Xicheng, if you don't fight for the sword, then it can only be fish and meat, no one is born evil, only a chaotic environment. ”
Liao Su felt that Xicheng was becoming more and more mysterious, and he asked: "What is the place of the 'Imperial City Dragon Vein', is it a gathering place for the rich, and how do you know the security guards there?" “
My sister explained: "The 'Imperial City Dragon Vein' is indeed not an ordinary residential area, the people there are either rich or expensive, I have a relative who lives in it, and sometimes I will go there to live. “
"These security guards naturally know who they are, and as long as they have the opportunity, they will do everything they can to build relationships, so it's not the people I am looking for."
"You remember, no matter what situation you are in, if you want to be invincible, you must either rely on your own ability, or use everything that can be used around you, here, not for swords, but for fish."
Liao Su didn't say anything more, he sent his sister back to school, there was still some distance from Xicheng No. 2 Middle School to the hotel where Liao Su was, he wanted to take a walk and walked back slowly.
When he first returned to Xicheng, Liao Su felt that there was nothing else at night except that it was a little dim, and now it seems that this place is far more "complicated" and "dark" than he imagined.
He took out his Nokia and glanced at it, it showed 21:30, and it was already very dark for this small city.
In the ink-like sky, not even a crescent moon or a trace of starlight appeared.
Occasionally, a meteor swept through the night sky with a cool feeling, and the blazing white light was so bleak and miserable.
The wind blew in the middle of the night, and at first it was still a little gentle, wisps, moving the willows and leaves.
Later, it became more and more vigorous and powerful, and the fierce wind, almost as ferocious as a bison, swept and rushed in every street of Xicheng......
At this time, there was a dull sound of locomotive starting in the distance, and the silent night was broken by this sound, and soon a motorcycle drove from a distance to Liao Su.
Liao Su thought that this was some kind of gangster racing at night, the person was on the high beam, he couldn't open his eyes, he thought that the person would pass by him in an instant, but he didn't expect the person to stop the car.
This made his heart rise to his throat all of a sudden, and his intuition told him that this person was likely to find trouble for himself, but the person in the car suddenly said, "Liao Su? ”
Liao Su didn't see who that person was, how could he know himself, and he also knew his name, the man saw that Liao Su didn't answer, so he turned off the engine of the car, the lights went out instantly, and the originally illuminated piece became dark again.
Liao Su was already panicked to the extreme, he originally wanted to run away, but after thinking about it, how could these two legs run over two wheels, there was only this big road nearby and there was no small alley to run, so he would definitely not be able to escape.
He thought back to whether he had offended anyone, and suddenly a bad thought flashed in his mind, this would not be the person Wang Ba was looking for to "take revenge" on himself, thinking of this, he subconsciously touched his body if there was anything to defend himself, but he didn't touch anything.
He thought about it again, if Wang Ba came to "revenge" himself, how could there be only one person coming, at least Wang Ba himself had to follow, although he couldn't see the appearance of this person clearly, but from the two words "Liao Su", he was enough to conclude that this person was definitely not Wang Ba.
Then there is only one possibility left, this person may want to rob himself of his money, if so, then whether he should resist, what are the consequences of resistance, just thinking about it, the man slowly got out of the car.
