Chapter 39 【Meeting on the Magpie Bridge】

【Meeting on the Magpie Bridge】 When Aileen arrived in Wenzhou in February, I was startled, and immediately felt unhappy, not even grateful.Husband and wife help each other through adversity It is a matter of the world, but Aileen is also like this, I just don't think it is appropriate.in old novels There are often stars in the sky reincarnated as human beings in the mortal world, crying for three days after birth, Aileen and I always seem to be in the sky and the earth , worldly things also have such excitement, just because both of them have such humility.But because I am a man, I don't want to drag my wife down. Aileen is doing this for me.

He almost scolded her in a rough voice, "What are you doing here? Go back soon!" Aileen lived in a hotel near the park, and I only went to accompany her during the day, not daring to spend the night in the hotel for fear of the police. Come to check the night.Sometimes Xiumei also goes with me. I didn't tell Ai Ling about Xiumei and I, not to hide it from her, because I don't feel ashamed to be confused.Xiumei is mine because Ai Ling is mine, so of course I treat her well, and she sees it too Just tell me Mr. Fan is beautiful. I have been married to Aileen for two years, and it still seems like we have just married for three dynasties. The bride and groom only meet each other in the boudoir for a whole day

Shou, nothing to do, but there is still some life in the intimacy, naturally treat each other like guests.Sometimes two people lie on the bed side by side Talking on the Internet, the two of them looked at each other, her eyes were full of smiles, her face was like a big peony flower in full bloom, I have no reservations at all, whenever I am with her, I always feel that the days are long.Suddenly the cow blew outside the window, Aileen and I When I heard it, I looked at each other like two children and laughed in surprise.I said that the sound of a cow sounds nice, and Aileen talked about this time with Sri Lanka.

The Jun and his wife came together. Wanfen sat in a sedan chair with Guanghan in her arms. There was a cow by the roadside. She taught the baby how to speak and said, "Cow, I Guanghan Including", Aileen was surprised and amused as she said.Ailing said again, "The barking of a cow is nice, and the barking of a horse is also nice. like the wind. " I got up and stood by the window. Behind the hotel was a hill connected to a park with trees and grass. The cow is still there.Aileen and I sat down to talk again, but we heard crows crowing in the forest. I laughed and said, "I always

When I met a crow, I screamed at my head, but I recently read a book saying that people in the Tang Dynasty regarded crows as auspicious, and the Lord pardoned them. "Aileen said," This morning before you came, I was alone in the room, a crow came and stopped at the window, I recited in my heart, you just stop , I am not superstitious, but I was very happy to see it fly away later. ' she said and laughed again. The two also talked about some things after the farewell, but those things seemed to be very simple. The life of the family is at stake, just like what you did in the yard just now, and who you met outside the door, and

At the moment, I was sitting at the breakfast table, just talking casually.On such a long and quiet day, I would rather listen to She talked about Western things, because she was talking about it for me. She said that there was a movie in the United States during the war called "The Explosion of Colors", and some people conceived of using various aromas to Drama, no characters, just smells.The color and smell are all Aileen's favorite, but the Western one, Without temperament, it is only a symbol. Like some new paintings, it is nothing more than resorting to geometry. I'll get tired of it after I've done it.Modern Westerners can only adopt the passion of barbarian witches and nightmares even for music, and they demand

Liberation, in this way, becomes purely technical and ends with the senses.their best times like beethoven's symphonies Qu, it's just that the human relationship is relatively easy, but there is no secret, and this easy feeling can't be kept after all. Aileen said that America is popular with monsters. There is a magazine that draws a woman sitting on a park chair with a chair next to her. The house was empty, there was a snake under the tree behind her, the woman didn't look back, she just called "Henry", really fear.I asked if Henry was eaten by a snake?She said, "Yes."Westerners don't have worldly turmoil, and want to chase

Seeking infinity, it can only be such a frightening prehistoric, and their excitement is the primitive life in the swamp. The blaze of food, sex and procreation. So she told me Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley and two short stories. Deep, beautiful diction, but not good, she immediately apologized to me.I'm still happy to hear it.Where I am with Aileen At the same time, for both good and bad things, they all have a very quiet mind, only feel that right and wrong are clear, but they don't fall into love or hate. I have never been more aware of the distinction between Hua and Yi than at this time, and I have no desire to fight.

Aileen did not bring a book, and I only bought a Qingjialu and a Bible when I came to Wenzhou. Give her the Bible, and she can read it when she is alone in the hotel.I was late the next morning, she had already finished reading the Old Testament half.She sighed, "Israel is a great nation!" She read it to me.At that moment, they killed Queen Jezebel, threw her on the road and trampled her into meat paste. People didn't know it was Jezebel when they saw it.She read the last sentence, just because it was funny, I immediately understood the meaning of this sentence. Has a kind of childish funny good.

In another verse, the priest rode out of the city on a donkey, and was killed by a lion. The lion stood beside the donkey, and the man died on the donkey. at the foot of the people from the city to report, and many people came thither, and behold, the lion stood beside the donkey , the man died at the feet of the donkey.How could the lion not go away?But this is written as a still life picture, I just feel cute. There is also Samson, betting that the host asked his wife to guess, "The food is eaten and comes out of the stomach." Hiding him On the way here, I saw a bee in the belly of a dead lion making a nest, but how could anyone guess it?Later it was his wife who leaked the word

, I guessed it, but he didn't give it to the host, but robbed his wife's family of clothes.It's really full of energy and unreasonable, Tell you to take him helpless. Turn to the Book of Judges, "At that time there was no king, and everyone did as he pleased." A few verses later, he said, "Then There is no king at this time, and everyone does as he pleases. "Aileen said, such a stroke, the power of chaos at that time was really great ! What is the matter with this vigorous nation?They were exiled in Babylon for forty years, and they were released from captivity Come back and build the temple on the ruins.behold!The temple was erected again, and now the young Israelites Rejoice, and the old ones weep, for the old ones have seen the temple before it was destroyed.At this time there were Elamites and Moab People passed by and made fun of them, and the Israelites answered, "What do you know? You have no right, no share, or commemorate. " This nation is tragic, but it is also really uncomfortable.Aileen was shocked when she read the book of Ecclesiastes, and said it was from Come to the most thorough rhetoric of world-weariness.She read to me, "The gold bars are broken, the silver pots are cracked, the sun is fading, the mill's There are few voices, people are afraid of heights, and there is panic on the road. "And said, "There is nothing new under the sun." Israel died in Egypt was destroyed by Babylon for four hundred years, and finally by Rome, but the book of Ecclesiastes was deeply moving before this. Facing the vagaries of the world, man has no strength other than to return to God. Yahweh of the Israelites turned out to be just a supernatural scare, and Jacob had earlier wrestled with Yahweh. Lame until dawn, this tragedy is not comparable to the ancient Greeks who struggled with fate, which fate is known, but The terror of the supernatural is unknown.It's closer than Monk Dou Fa Hai who only has the White Snake Empress. The ancient Indians called the fright of supernatural power the great stupidity of the universe, but only Chinese civilization really has heaven and man Qingan.The greatness of the Israelites is inferior to that of the Indians, and it almost touches the issue of ignorance and civilization . Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. On the way, he could not take care of them. The women had already taken off their hairpins and cast gold The calf, which is their own, is dearer than the LORD after all.It is also written in the Book of Judges that people at that time had to Worshiping the Lord, but hiding idols in the house.Afterwards, the Israelites in the Book of Kings were still rebelling against the Lord Everywhere is lively and fresh.But what they gave to the Lord was the golden hemorrhoids cast every time, which is very ridiculous. But as far as Job was concerned, the Israelites finally surrendered unconditionally to Yahweh.Job is the last fighter, the biography Daoist scriptures are the emptiness after the failure of this struggle.The Israelites were destroyed by this supernatural The shock of power broke the spine.Since then, God has become merciful, and there is heaven and hell, and human beings The society is also in order.Jesus is the gentleman and hero of this new society.In the emptiness after failure, only the enemy is It can still be missed, because it is the only existence, they are grateful to Yahweh, comparable to the Japanese after the defeat of the war. Arthur.But the Israelites were wiped out from then on.The West has not been touched since Job and Jesus Between heaven and man, but only between Jehovah and Satan. I was born in a missionary school in vain, and I also studied Kautsky's "Origin of Christianity", which is not as good as listening to my old The mother-in-law is joking and beneficial.But what does the Israelites have to do with me? Besides, the Bible is a matter of books. I listened to what she said. Speaking, but on the one hand, he just appreciates the speaker, thinking that Ai Ling in front of him is really "such a lovely girl who has never seen it before." .Besides, Aileen had read such a good book as the Old Testament, and asked me to take it back immediately after reading it, and didn't even leave it on the table. , she is such a clean person.We also go for a walk. Because Aileen doesn't like parks.A workshop in a small street is sawing wood with a machine, the noise is very loud and piercing , the two stood and looked at it for a while.After passing through a few more doors, in another carpenter's shop, there were two carpenters sawing. In sawing boards, one pulls and one sends, the sun is lingering in front of the door, as if it has nothing to do with the machine sawing boards in the neighbors, and has nothing to do with each other. Harmful.I laughed and said, "It's like everyone in the Book of Judges doing whatever they want, worshiping God and idols." Aileen Also find it funny. The two walked and talked.Aileen said, "I came from Lishui, Zhuji, and on the way I thought that you passed by here. And I can see Wenzhou City from the boat, I think you are there, this Wenzhou City is shining like a precious pearl. " I listened but did not answer.The White Snake Empress wants to repay Xu Xian's kindness, but she can't repay Xu Xian enough. There is a kind of discomfort, and I am a man, Received the grace of the pink lady, but the mind is very quiet, not even sad or happy. When we walked past the woodware shop, we stopped to look at the carvings of old-style bed cabinets, and when we walked past the temple, we went in to see the statues.middle There are many folk things that I thought were worthless, but now that Aileen pointed them out, they are really good. For example, there are two lines of civil and military personnel standing in front of the Emperor Fumo, and there is a white-faced general who looks like a door god. I don't think it's good. , Aileen was surprised when she saw it, "How could it be like this? He clearly knows that he is acting!" There is a shrine for the God of Wealth at the stairway on the second floor of the museum, which is at the door of Ailing’s room. When I saw it, it was a small red-faced god, but there was a god there, and it was actually a person walking the dock, working as a manager of a Nanhuo store or The people from Ningbo, who are the top class on the ship, are full of worldliness of wine, sex and wealth, and they are really enthusiastic.Aileen sees things as if Open your eyes. Jia Baoyu heard Lin Daiyu say that Suzhou's earthen ritual gadgets are good, so he will ask someone to take a boat next time he goes there , stupid and funny.I was also so happy that I wanted to accompany Ai Ling to see all the temples in Wenzhou. Always write.Another example is when I heard Aileen say that the carvings on the old-fashioned bed cabinets are so good, I thought that if I had money, I would buy them. After buying it, I put it in front of my eyes at bedtime and dinner. When I asked Ai Ling, Ai Ling didn't want it at all. We also saw a monk temple, I think Buddha statues may have a higher artistic status than the statues in Taoist temples My lord, I don't know that Aileen is not happy.The side hall of the temple has been dilapidated, and there are eighteen arhats, which is really ancient India and Western culture. of mixed.Those arhats, some are ironic, some are meditating.Counting the past, I saw one, but the appearance was not the same. Strange, but I don't know why, the look on his face seems to want to kill ignorance, and also kill civilization.Aileen looked, horrified She had to pull me back, she said, "Ah! Why is it so terrifying, it is simply a supernatural power!" The Arhat The image is actually a very high art, but not good. Sometimes Xiumei also came together. The three of them walked the street at night. It was around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the lunar calendar. The fragrance, Aileen approached and smelled it, she was very happy, but she didn't think it was a strange fragrance.She is only the joy of cleanliness . Aileen doesn't doubt Xiumei and I, because it's a world of good people, so naturally there will be a kind of confusion.only day In the hotel early in the morning, I leaned on the bed and talked to Aileen for a long time. I had a faint abdominal pain, but I endured it myself. Later, Xiumei also When she came, I told her that I was not feeling well as soon as I saw her.Xiumei sat on a chair by the door, only asking about the pain He, he said that he would be fine after making a cup of afternoon tea.Aileen was very melancholy at the moment, knowing that Xiumei was my relative. The three of us sat in the room for most of the day.I want Xiumei to talk and listen, and ask her to be sent to the village. Under the guidance of silkworm breeding, single women, whether there are men who have thought about her.Xiu Meiyin said, "One time I went to the country to live in A squire's family, the squire was nearly fifty years old, had lunch, and invited me to sit in the living room for tea, while talking, The man sat up and stood up, stopped and walked, like the spin of an eagle, he was coming towards me, I saw the momentum No, just escape. "Life is such a mixed reality, the scene is like in front of your eyes, Aileen really admires Convince her to speak well.She blushed when she spoke, like a country girl, it was all tension and surprise between men and women . Although Aileen looked at the beauty, she sighed, "Mr. Fan is really beautiful, her face looks like that of a Central Asian. The face is the true beauty of the Han people from the West. "At that moment she gave Xiumei a portrait, and Xiumei sat down and asked her to draw, and I immediately Watching from the side, I saw that she hooked her face, drew eyebrows, eyes and nose, and was drawing the corners of her mouth. I was so happy that I wanted to praise her However, she suddenly stopped painting.After Xiumei left, Aileen said, "I was drawing and drawing, and I only felt that she Her eyebrows and eyes, her mouth, are more and more like you, and I feel startled and uncomfortable for a while, so I can't draw any more No, you still just ask me why I don’t keep painting! "The words were so wronged, she looked at me and felt that the person in front of her A moment is also a pity. I never wanted Aileen to comfort me or forgive me, and I never thought of me to comfort Aileen, because both It's adults.But this time she has something to confess to me, it's because of Xiao Zhou.About Xiao Zhou, I told her two times when I was in Shanghai the other day. As I mentioned before, she heard that her sad and resentful face was touching, but she didn't say anything at the moment.And when I saw her like this, I didn't feel sorry for her. , just a little surprised, because I can't imagine that she can be wronged, and now she speaks, it is a kind of last determination, and I am still confused. It was also out of the street that day, and the two of them only chose to walk in the winding alleys. Ai Ling told Xiao Zhou and her, and asked me to choose, I don't want to.I just stayed like this, and Xiao Zhou was not around. Things will be even more difficult in the future. There is only Aileen in front of me. Wouldn't it be fine if I promised?But in the friendship between gentlemen, life and death are the same, how can I be so frivolous.And me and Aileen Absolutely, I never thought of comparing her with anyone.I remember when I was eleven or twelve years old, I was at my uncle’s house. My father came to see me from the town of Three Realms. He brought kumquats with him and gave them to the children of my uncle's family, but I had no share.I feel a little I don’t think so, but I also know to be generous.Then he went upstairs with his father, but he took out a bright red Daifuku tangerine. What comes is left to me.This can be compared to my treatment of Aileen. I said, "I treat you like nothing in heaven or on earth. If you choose, it will not only be wronged to you, but also to you." I'm sorry for Xiao Zhou.The world is like years, but there is no suspicion, and there is no way to pick it up.But the ancients said trimming, The grandeur and solemnity of life is such that even trivial things like trimming the appearance are generally unchangeable like destiny. " Aileen said, "There are a group of children sitting around eating milk and apples in American pictorials. If you want this, you have to choose In American society, it is also uncomfortable for people to see.You say the best things are not optional, I totally get it .But you still have to choose this matter, even if you call me unreasonable. "She made such a question for the first time, "When you married me, it was written on the wedding post that this world is safe, and you won't give me peace?" Because I said that the world is desolate, in fact, I don't know if Xiao Zhou and I will meet again, so you don't need to ask. Aileen said, "No, I believe you have such abilities." She sighed, "You really don't want to. I think However, if I have to leave you, I will not commit suicide, nor can I love others anymore, I will just wither away. "I felt uncomfortable when I heard it, but it didn't seem right, because I was always in a fairyland with Aileen, it can't be There is sorrow. I was thinking about the American Pictorial she just mentioned.The world today is such an America, a Soviet Russia, each has a little bit of benefits, but people have to choose capitalism or communism.That Real good things should be clean, without hostages, without comparisons, I said, "Everything should actually be concise, that is, Like the tattered and crowded train passengers, just because it is ugly, we should fix it. To eradicate poverty, it is nothing but a sense of shame. , so that everyone in the world can feel proud, so that even if the revolution uses soldiers as a last resort, it can also be determined by uniforms. I don't want any doctrine. After hearing this, Aileen was delighted by the kind words.Although she was troubled, her People are still like Qingyang. Then we walked to Songtai Mountain.Songtai Mountain is in the city of Wenzhou. There is a temple on it, and a playground on the side of the temple. The recruits of the squad are practicing, and we walked closer.Regarding soldiers, Aileen had no objection at all.before this When she was in Shanghai, she also told me that once, three or five Japanese soldiers were walking under the tree on the sidewalk in front of the apartment. Whistle, wearing grass green clothes, her aunt looked down from the window of the building, said they were like caterpillars in the tree, she felt that the aunt Gu described it very well.And I asked Yanying, if your Indian independence leader Boss wants to recruit female soldiers, would you also go?Yan Ying said, "You can go, but first you have to cut out a good-looking military uniform according to my heart." Ailing also said Why.And if Aileen meets Chinese soldiers and civilians asking and answering questions, she must see that there are childish and lovely confusions on both sides. But now when she saw these recruits practicing, she was so horrified that she grabbed my sleeve and stepped back, saying, "He We are all adults, why are you doing such a terrible child's play! " Aileen only visited the place where Xiumei and I lived once, and that was the night before she left Wenzhou for Shanghai. Xiumei said to me first, "If Ms. Zhang comes here, what will the neighbors here think of me, this is the only thing I have to ask you to take care of." My decency. "So I only said that Aileen is my sister to my neighbors. I have nothing to say to Aileen, but I also love her. I don't feel so sorry, because I treat Ai Ling like myself, I would rather restrain myself than care about Gu Xiaozhou and Xiu beautiful. Grandma came to pour tea, Aileen looked at her carefully, and said to me, "This old lady's face is really nice, it's so funny. Surprisingly in love. "Then grandma went to the grandma's house next door. I sat on the bed in this woodshed-like room. On the morning, Ailing and Xiumei sat in front of the bed with chairs and stools, and they talked.Aileen look in this room, look Look at me and Xiumei, until late at night, she is still reluctant to leave.She has been in Wenzhou for 20 days, I am like Qingwen Xiren outside Seeing that Baoyu came to visit her, she was afraid that the sacrilege would be missed, and would rather urge her to return to Shanghai as soon as possible, but Ailing felt sincere. Nostalgia and sympathy, she originally wanted to stay for a few more days.About Aileen's melancholy and deep, like Yuan Zhen will really remember The Cui family in the book is the brightest and most difficult to offend, but also tender and heartbroken.Will really remember the difference between Zhang Sheng and Cui Jiyin Well, what she said to Zhang Sheng with a respectful appearance and pleasant voice, and what she said to Zhang Sheng later, was really uncomfortable.but also We are not all like it. It rained the next day and sent Aileen on board.A few days later, she received a letter from Shanghai saying, "When the ship is about to sail that day, you I went back to the shore, and I stood on the side of the boat with an umbrella in the rain, facing the surging yellow waves, and stood weeping for a long time. "She also I sent you the money, and said that I thought you had no money to use, and I would save whatever I could, now that I know your standard of living over there. , I also have a plan, tell me not to worry.
