Chapter 4 Chapter Four

After passing the police patrol car, there is no more traffic ahead. "Great." Yoshio Mochizuki said in the driver's seat. The rhythmic movement of the engine's pistons refreshed me.It was getting dark.On Sunday afternoon, Mochizuki Ikuko, the owner of the Mochizuki House, should be preparing octopus balls.It is the practice of Mochizuki's family to make this dish every Sunday night. "Where did Yuan Xiang go today?" Liang Fu asked.Turn left from the driveway just now and enter a one-way narrow road. There are no cars in the front and back, and there are vast land on the left and right. This makes Yoshio relax and starts to worry about his sister who is three years younger than him. "She ran out early in the morning."

"Ah, she, I guess she went to the movies. Together with Mr. Eguchi." Heng said in a natural tone. "Who is Mr. Eguchi?" "My sister's boyfriend." "What?!" Yoshio exclaimed, and turned to look at the passenger seat, "She has a boyfriend?" People seem to be seldom aware that their bodies move when they meet someone else's gaze.Don't look to the side, look to the front!Yoshio couldn't hear my screams.When he turned to the left, he also turned the steering wheel to the left. As soon as the steering wheel moved, I naturally turned to follow suit.The road is very narrow, and the power poles are close at hand.It's coming!I panicked.At this moment, the wheels suddenly turned in the opposite direction, and Heng in the passenger seat turned the steering wheel toward two o'clock with his right hand.On the right is a monthly subscription parking lot.In order to avoid the electric pole safely, Yoshio drove me towards it. "Brother, step on the brakes slowly!" Heng shouted.

The parking lot is large, and the sand grains contact the tires, making a sharp friction sound.Yoshio stepped on the brakes, I couldn't catch up and rushed forward.But it stopped anyway. "Brother, it was too dangerous just now." "Yes, yes." Yoshio Mochizuki tried his best to calm down his panic-disturbed breathing, "However, it's all because you said something surprising." "What's the fuss about my sister having a boyfriend? Don't you all know about it?" "Who are you?" The sandy parking lot is fairly empty, with a Bluebird parked in the corner on the right front.The body of the car was originally white, but because of the sand covering the surface, it appeared gray.

"I'm so flustered." The other person accosted me, so I honestly apologized, "My driver looked around and surprised you. I'm sorry." "I envy you," said the white blue bird. "The driver looks around and envies you?" "I haven't been on the road for three months." "Oh." I tried to find the right word to respond. "My master fell ill and is still in the hospital." "Then you must be looking forward to the master's discharge from the hospital." "Oh, the master is already eighty years old. It seems that there is a problem with the cerebral blood vessels, and he has been bedridden."

"Oh." Apart from that, I seem to have nothing to say. One day, I will follow in his footsteps, I thought quietly.One day, there will be no one to drive me.Everyone will age, and there will be a day when you can no longer stand up. This is nothing special. It can be said that this is just the end of a long life. "It's hard not being able to run, but it's even more uncomfortable not being able to see the owner." The white blue bird murmured.I understand, of course I can't say that.Outsiders and foreign cars will never understand the mood of the parties and the car involved.

Yoshio Mochizuki was in shock, and finally recovered from the sudden braking incident in the parking lot just now.He asked his younger brother persistently: "Who is that Mr. Jiangkou?" "Eguchi-kun, he is a senior from the place where my sister works. I met my sister when she was working in a clothing store." "Then how do you know about Eguchi-kun?" "Because my sister made it public." "Open? To whom?" "Open to the world," Heng said. "Open to the world?" "I'm also puzzled, why would you post on Twitter what you've been hiding from your family?" Heng tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"What did she write?" "Although the personal information such as the name is hidden, but when I read the content, I know that it must be written by my sister. For example, 'My brother thought that people in Hokkaido sell souvenirs. How stupid. Instigated, I bought a super ugly frog ornament and prayed silently for my brother's IQ. 'These tweets, no matter how you look at it, are all about you, brother." "Even this kind of thing is written?" Yoshio's eyes widened, his breathing was heavy, and his face flushed, "Even this kind of thing was made public to the world?"

"Well, but that frog ornament is pretty ugly." Heng said sincerely. It's that thing, I also remembered it.Next to the parking space of Mochizuki's house, in a corner of the courtyard, there is a lonely frog statue.I don't know if it's made of stone or metal, but it looks quite heavy, but the frog's appearance is not cute, and it seems to be staring at me all the time, so I really hoped that it would disappear from my eyes as soon as possible.So it turned out that it was bought by Liang Fu who was tricked by the clerk. "People say that the frog ornament can ward off disasters and avoid disasters."

"That was just a casual remark by the lady at the grocery store. But, anyway, this morning my sister sent another random tweet, 'Going to the movies with Mr. E later.'" "Mr. E is Mr. Eguchi?" Yoshio sighed, "I'm not criticizing this kind of behavior, but what's the point of posting my actions in detail on the Internet?" The result is not criticism? "Who knows. But it would be interesting if such a record was left from a long, long time ago." "A long time ago? You mean after the war?" "Earlier. For example, 'Today, discuss with Nakatomi Kamazu the plan for the reform of Taika'."

"You mean the eldest brother, the prince, tweets? Only children have such unconstrained thoughts." Yoshio seemed to have forgotten the fact that his younger brother was a primary school student. "Also, it would be interesting if tweets like 'Mammoths are rare these days' and 'Mammoth information collection' circulate." "That long?" "I said brother, you should also pay more attention to this matter." "Forget it. But then again, how do you get online without a mobile phone?" "Didn't Mom have an old laptop before, I asked for that."

At this moment, a figure ran out from the depths of the monthly subscription parking lot. Come straight to us. The door was unlocked, and as soon as I thought about it, the passenger's door was opened from the outside. The wind blows into the car. Standing outside was a slender woman wearing a hat with a wide brim and a pair of black-rimmed glasses with a faint tint on her nose.I don't recognize this face. "Can I get in the car?" she asked. "what?" "I'm running for my life, can you save me!" She directly asked Liangfu who was sitting in the driver's seat.The woman seemed to think that the passenger seat was empty, but when she opened the door and saw Heng Duan sitting there, she was really shocked. "Ah, I'm so sorry." She apologized as she prepared to back off. "Would you like to sit on my lap?" Heng asked calmly, "I still have a box for the tortoise here."
