Chapter 9 Chapter nine

Dali heard another voice saying: "What are you cutting off your hands for? It would be much better to send him off with a knife." Dali thought how many of them there were, and Dali was afraid.Dali stammered: "It's you, your wife wants to be nice to me, and I, I, and I didn't play with your wife..." "You still dare to talk stubbornly, you are not afraid of death, just wait." Deng Ying's husband She screamed: "You choose tonight, you want your life or two hands! You still play with my wife, where did you take my wife? You say it yourself." Putting down the phone vigorously, there was a buzzing sound in his head, as if a swarm of bees were flying in his head.All of a sudden, my body felt terrible weakness, and my legs went limp.The phone rang again, and he felt his legs tremble from the ringing of the phone, and he thought he was in trouble.The phone rang a dozen times, and then it didn't ring.The world suddenly became very quiet. It was past three o'clock in the afternoon on a Friday in April. The sun was shining outside the window and the sky was blue, but his mood was very gloomy.They were going to chop off his hands or kill him. He was only thirty-six years old, and he was still five months away from thirty-seven. Could this life end like this?He made a phone call to Brother Zhi, who was his friend, and at this moment he needed his friend's support the most.Brother Zhi said "Hello" in a very confident voice on the other end of the phone, and he immediately felt a warm current all over his body, and he hurriedly stated all the above to Brother Zhi.Brother Zhi said, "Don't be afraid of Luo, don't be afraid of Luo. I'll call Deng Ying first and ask Deng Ying, and then I'll call you." He put down the phone, his brain was still tense, and he felt a kind of sulfur in the air. The smell, and he felt an emptiness.He lit a cigarette, and he felt his hands shaking a little.After a while the phone rang, and he picked up the receiver, and it was Deng Ying's voice in the receiver.She said, "Dali, what's going on?"

"I don't know what's going on," Dali said, "Just now your husband called suddenly, saying that he wanted to cut off both of my hands, and asked if I wanted my life or my hands... What's going on? How could it be?" Your husband suddenly appeared?" "He took my mobile phone, and your phone number is stored on my mobile phone..." She heard his voice a little weak, and she said again: "It's not that serious, I will contact him right away, don't be afraid ." "I'm not afraid." He said, "It's not your husband alone, there are several voices."

She could hear his voice had stabilized, but still lacked confidence.She said: "They are all unworthy characters, and I look down on them. It won't be that serious, so don't worry." Dali was still very worried, still terrified, he left his home quickly, he believed that if he didn't leave, there might be bloodshed in this home today, of course he might not be the only one who bleeds, because he wouldn't let them go in vain. cut off his hands.Although he planned for the worst in his heart, he didn't want anything to happen after all.That night he played mahjong at Fang Wei's house. He never played mahjong for 30 yuan a cannon, and he bravely did it.Of course he lost, he had no intention of playing mahjong.His whole heart was on the thing that frightened him.His heart knew that he was weak, that he was afraid of death.He looked at Fang Wei, Fang Wei ran the beauty center by herself, enjoying the sunshine and love, she was free, no one restrained her, people who could legally restrain her went to America to live the American dream.The year before last, she went to the United States for two months. When she came back, her husband kept calling her to ask her to go, but she refused to go because she had no one to take care of her business.She said: "I don't know what's good in the United States? I have what is available in the United States, and I have it in China. Americans are used to being self-righteous and always think that they are the big brother of the world. In fact, they are stupid." This is her view. , she is definitely a woman who lives by her own way of thinking.She is full of independent consciousness that does not accept the constraints of men, and her happiness is based on the moment.She said to Dali with a gloomy face: "Don't think so much, be happy, playing is the real thing, and playing is good for your body."

Dali is not so free and easy. These unpleasant things happened to him. It was not Fang Wei's hand that was to be chopped off, not Brother Zhi's hand, but his hand. Of course his luck was very rough. After one night, he lost It cost more than a thousand dollars.When it was two o'clock in the middle of the night, Fang Wei yawned a few times and wanted to go to bed, but Dali still wanted to play, not because he wanted to make money, but because he was afraid to go home and they were waiting outside his house he.He said: "Just play to your heart's content, anyway, tomorrow is Saturday, play all night, and have fun to your heart's content."

Fang Wei said: "Then play, I'm going to sleep." Vigorously glanced at Brother Zhi who was on the sidelines, Brother Zhi hadn't played, but was watching Fang Wei fight from the sidelines.Dali said, "Brother Zhi, you go." Brother Zhi smiled, he was going to get up and go home, so he sat down.The other two men are interested in playing, because they have nothing to do tomorrow.This table of mahjong continued to be played until 8:30 the next morning, when I lost 2,200 yuan vigorously and lost all my pockets.Think vigorously, it’s okay, it’s a way to save money and avoid disasters.Dali came out of Fang Wei's house, like a big mouse coming out of a hole in the ground, with a tired and vigilant expression on his face, afraid that someone would pounce on him from behind and cut off one of his arms with a single knife.That phone call still tormented him, making him still afraid to go back to his home.He went to his sister's house, and the sister expressed surprise at his presence, and said, "Why do you look so depressed?"

"I played mahjong all night," he said, yawning heavily and looking at his sister with red eyes. His sister asked him, "Was it lost or won?" "I lost more than two thousand yuan." My sister is an ordinary worker, and her monthly salary is only four to five hundred yuan. My sister said: "You are so stupid, what are you playing!" He smiled wearily, and fell asleep on his nephew's bed. He dreamed that he fell into an abyss... This morning, Deng Ying was desperately calling his phone and BP machine (his BP machine left at home), no one answered the phone, no one answered the BP machine, Deng Ying became bewildered.

She called Fang Wei, and Fang Wei told her that he left her house in the morning and went home.She asked Fang Wei to call his BP player. Half an hour later, Fang Wei called her and told her that he didn't answer.She asked Fang Wei to continue copying him, and she analyzed that maybe he didn't dare to return her phone call.Ten minutes later, she called Fang Wei again. Fang Wei said that she had handcuffed him three times in a row, but he didn't reply.Deng Ying asked Fang Wei to copy him again. Fang Wei estimated that he was sleeping, so he might turn off the BP machine, and copy him again in the afternoon.

The whole day, Deng Ying was looking for Dali, but there was no result for the whole day.In the evening, Tian Sheng and Xiao Zhang came back, and they asked her to eat the food they bought from the restaurant below.She hated him so much that she wished she could kill him.She stared at him with a vicious look, and threw the white foam box he gave her to his face, and he became angry with embarrassment: "You can't beat it again, can you?" "Yes, try it!" She held a fruit knife that was usually used to cut watermelon or peel apples in her hand, the bright white knife gleamed coldly under the light, "I will kill you with one knife!"

"You're not brave enough," said the husband. "Hit me if you dare!" she screamed, clutching the handle of the knife tightly. Tian Sheng glanced at her eyes, he was surprised, it was the female leopard's gaze, full of aggressive aggression.He backed away, dragged Xiao Zhang, who had been a primary school teacher, out the door, and locked the door twice. "She turned into a female leopard, my mother." He waved his hand to Xiao Zhang and said, "Did you notice the look in her eyes?" Xiao Zhang said: "I didn't notice, I only noticed that Sister Deng had a knife in her hand."

"She's crazy." Tian Sheng said. Deng Ying walked around the house, she felt like a lioness locked in a cage, she felt that she could really kill and eat people.If her husband dared to beat her, she would kill him.She couldn't wait any longer.She called her younger brother and asked him to bring her son's key and open the door for her. After a few seconds of silence, the younger brother replied, "My brother-in-law wants me to leave it alone." "I'm your sister, are you on his side or listening to me? Nervous!" My younger brother is a middle school teacher, and he has always been hesitant in doing things.He said: "Originally, Guosheng would go back today. My brother-in-law specifically asked me not to let Guosheng go home. He said he was arguing with you, and he was afraid that it would affect Guosheng's mood..." "Is there something wrong with your brain?" She yelled at her brother , "He's a drug addict, you still listen to him?"

The younger brother opposed her divorcing Tian Sheng, and at least expressed indifference to her sister's desire to divorce.On the evening of the New Year's Eve, the younger brother's family was celebrating the New Year at her house. After the reunion dinner, Tian Sheng was invited to play by several phone calls.She sat in the living room with her younger brother and his family watching the Spring Festival Gala broadcast on CCTV, but the show was not very exciting for her younger brother, so he went into the study to read a book, which was "Lao Tzu's Notes".Her heart was not on the screen either, her heart had already left home and landed on Dali who didn't know where.She wanted to talk to her younger brother, so she went into the study and asked him, "What book do you read?" Blessings and misfortunes, and now I realize that this sentence came from Lao Tzu." "Do you also read such books?" "Lao Tzu is a person who has obtained the true meaning of life. His philosophy of life is to teach emperors, generals and ministers how to behave in the world , You will get a taste if you study it carefully." The younger brother smiled, and put his eyes on the pages of the book again.She looked at her younger brother, who liked to hold a book to read since he was a child. He started to read "Sunny Sky" and "Bitter Cauliflower" when he was still in the third grade of elementary school, and he started to read "Sunny Sky" and "Bitter Cauliflower" when he was in the fourth grade.My younger brother once aspired to be a writer, longing to be a writer himself.He started to learn to write novels while still in college, and often stayed up late at night.There is a famous saying of Confucius on his desk, neatly written on the calendar card: Scholars must be ambitious, and there is a long way to go.She also thought that her younger brother might one day become a popular writer all over the country, but his younger brother gave up his dream of being a writer after teaching for several years, and became interested in Zen, and now he is studying Laozi and Zhuangzi.The younger brother is a learned teacher.She suddenly said seriously to her younger brother: "I want to divorce Tian Sheng." The younger brother put down the book and looked at his sister with a pair of triangular eyes hidden behind the glasses.She added: "I've been his girlfriend since I met him when I was seventeen...I'm so tired of him. I'm going to divorce him, I've already thought about it." The younger brother put the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose Shifting, the younger brother said: "Divorce? Divorce is not good for children. I have taught middle school for ten years, and I know it all too well. All students who perform poorly have divorced parents, because when parents divorce, children will die." There is a reason to break the jar. Besides, you are divorced, are you still married? What's the point of getting married again?" This is the attitude of the younger brother. The younger brother is a very orthodox man. Because he is orthodox, he does not want his sister to divorce.He was still a little afraid of Tian Sheng, not because he was worried that Tian Sheng would hurt him, but because he was afraid that Tian Sheng would ruin her.Tian Sheng was always in awe of Tian Sheng in front of him, and he was already in awe of Tian Sheng in his bones.After all, the younger brother is a mortal, and he is also a mortal who thinks of his wife in everything.Deng Ying thought about this after she put down the phone. She sat on the sofa for a few minutes, and then walked to the dressing table to look at her face. There were three finger prints on the left face, one of which was no longer obvious, and the other finger The seal is also shortened by half a centimeter.It seems that she has no choice but to show off this face in front of Dali, she thought.She'd better put on some make-up, she has a tired look on her face, and she wants to get rid of the tired look.She changed into a set of French fashion worth more than 3,000 yuan, which was very exquisite and made her look like a noble lady (this is a strong comment).The younger brother came, opened the door, then called "Sister" and looked at her.She said, "Let's go." When she went out, her Audi car was parked downstairs, but the car keys were in Tian Sheng's hands. She and her brother went to the street, hailed an oncoming taxi, and ran towards Dali's house.She guessed that Dali hadn't come home yet, and she called Dali before going out, but no one answered.She decided to wait in front of Dali's house, she thought that he was going to go home anyway, and there was no way he would not go home.With an uneasy feeling on his face, the younger brother asked her, "Where is this going, sister?" "Go to someone's house you don't know," she said. The taxi drove to the old building where Dali lived. When she got off the car, she glanced at the window of Dali's house, but it was not lit.She thought he hadn't come back yet, but then she thought maybe he had come back while she was on the road, and slept.She walked into the building door and walked towards the sixth floor.She hurried upstairs, followed by her younger brother, and when she reached Dali's door, she knocked on the door, thump, thump, thump.There is no answer in it.She knocked again, boom, boom, but there was still no sound from inside.The younger brother stood behind her and pointed out, "Don't knock anymore, there is no one in the house, sister." But she knocked again and waited quietly, and finally the resident opposite opened the door, revealing a middle-aged man's face—— It was a face like a bitter gourd skin. He looked at the siblings and said, "Who are you looking for?" the man with a bitter gourd face asked. "Looking for Dali," said Deng Ying, "Excuse me, do you know where Dali has gone?" "I don't know." The bitter-faced man said, closing the door. Deng Ying deeply felt that she had asked a stupid question, which was also the reason why she was so anxious.How would he know where Dali went?This only proves that she is crazy.They went downstairs and stood under a camphor tree in front of the ping. It was already ten o'clock.The younger brother looked at his watch, then glanced at the dark sky, which was full of stars, and said, "Go back?" She said, "You go back, I'll wait a bit." Of course, the younger brother would not abandon her and leave. He accompanied his elder sister and waited for this person named Dali to appear.They looked around, sometimes when a taxi came, they stared at it, but none of the taxis got out of the taxi as vigorously as she expected.Time passed by every minute and every second, walking very slowly, but moving forward, it was almost twelve o'clock, and there was still no sign of Dali.The younger brother said: "Sister, stand here and wait, it's like a treasure." "I told you to go back first, I'll wait a bit." She said, "He should be back soon." Stars filled the sky on this night in April, an oval yellow moon was embedded in the deep blue sky, and a piece of green light was projected down, smearing the deep earth.A mixture of camphor trees, orange trees, white orchids and earth wafted from the ground.Until one o'clock in the night, Deng Ying still did not see Dali's shadow.The younger brother persuaded her to go back again, and this time she listened to his advice. The younger brother stood with her for three or four hours, and she already felt that she couldn't stand him anymore. The siblings returned to the younger brother's house, and the younger brother opened a temporary bed in the study, and she fell asleep.She lay on the bed and thought about it. It was past three o'clock, and she still kept her eyes open without any sleepiness.She thought that her sleep was flying away like the eagle in her mind. She picked up the "Zen Hai Zhen Yan" she returned to her younger brother, and flipped through a page, trying to divide her concentrated heart by reading. , she read the following passage: Monk Daowu took his disciple Jianyuan to a funeral home to offer condolences.Jianyuan knocked on the coffin and asked me: "Master, are the people inside alive or dead?" "It cannot be said to be life, nor can it be said to be dead." "Why can't you say it?" "If you can't say it, you can't say it." …When you are born, there is no death, and life is everything; when you die, there is no life, and the status quo of death is everything to the dead.Talking about life and death, clinging to the two ends, is definitely not what the Zen school does.Be loyal to life when you are alive, try to find spirituality, and understand spirituality, then you will understand the meaning of life and the nature of death. She yawned as if she had gained something, and read this passage: Monk Yunmen once gave a sermon to the monks under his sect, and he said: "Everyone has a big light. If you want to find this light body, you can't find it." When you find it, you only feel that not only is there no light, but darkness instead."...Where is my great light?She closed the book and asked herself, now I feel that there is darkness in front of me, and the light is surrounded by night.What is light?My head is dizzy, and my head can't think about the problem.She got up, went to the living room and answered the phone number of Dali's family. She got through, but still no one answered.She went back to the bunk again dejectedly, and slept for a long time before she fell into a coma.At eight o'clock the next morning, she woke up in front of the window to the sound of black starlings, and her son noticed that her eyes were red.The son said, "Mom, your eyes are red." "Mom didn't sleep well," she said.
