Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

Konno Takuichi is wearing a sweater and trousers as usual!Putting on clogs, he climbed the stone steps with a smile on his feet, and came to the place where the Nomiyama house stood. "Hey, long time no see." He looked affectionately at the house. Seeing his appearance, Nomiyama House wondered if he hadn't received the letter sent by the House from Kobe.His expression is Haiyan and Heqing, and the world is peaceful. "I heard that you have been to Kobe?" Zhuo Yi said.It can be seen that the letter was still delivered. The house looked a little nervous and said: "Ok."

"We've traveled so far," Zhuo Yi said in a clear tone, "how did the show turn out?" The house thought to himself, why are you so eager to ask other people's affairs, you should pay more attention to your own affairs. "Success," said the house in a huff. "Yeah, that's great!" As Zhuoyi said, he walked towards the grassland, and the house couldn't help following. "What kind of play did you play?" "The Ball of Thieves and Cherry Blossom Garden." "Hey, well done." Zhuoyi looked at the faces of the house and said, "What role do you play?"

"Small role." The house was not in a calm mood, and replied carelessly.However, Zhuo Yi didn't care.He also whistled happily, and the sound of the whistle spread in all directions. The house really wanted to beat Zhuo a few times, and yelled at him: "Don't be confused!" Then scolded him again: "You look like a bear, that's why my wife wants to change!" In the sky, a white cloud is slowly moving. The house stared at Zhuo Yi's ignorant attitude for a long time, and couldn't hold back the anger, so he said: "Mr. Konno, have you accepted the letter I sent from Kobe?"

Zhuoyi stopped whistling and said: "Oh, I saw it, thank you." How refreshing! "I saw someone in Kobe, who seems to be your wife." She said it bluntly.In the letter, she tactfully said "a person who looks exactly like", and now she has pushed forward. "That's what it says in the letter," Zhuo Yi said in the same tone, "After all, there are similar people in the world." The house couldn't be said to be alive, and he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, and he had to suspect that he was mentally ill. "It's very real." She deliberately tried to make things difficult for him, "How is Madam now?"

"Ah, she said she was tired and was sleeping at home." "Work too hard?" "Probably. Last time, I went to Kyoto to ask the university professor there to write a manuscript." "Hey, what time was that?" "When you go to Kobe." "Well," cried the house, staring wide-eyed, "it's about time. When did she go to Kyoto?" "When did you go to Kobe?" The house told him the date. "Then my wife is going in three days." Three days later, isn't that the day when the house meets Miyako? House Nomiyama couldn't forget the news about the traffic accident.The report did not mention Miyako Konno by name.The car involved in the accident rolled down a cliff while driving from Ashiya to Arima Onsen. The only person injured was the general manager of a certain bank.Miyako's male partner whom the house saw on the streets of Kobe was indeed the general manager or the chairman, and his age was also consistent with the newspaper reports.

The house wants to figure this out. "Madam's fatigue, can you recover quickly?" the house asked, tearing a leaf. "She was hurt a little," Zhuoyi said. "What, hurt?" the house said in surprise, and the leaves in his hands fell to the ground. "It doesn't matter much," Zhuo Yi said, shaking his feet, "I hurt my left abdomen and shoulder." "why?" "She was taking a taxi in Kyoto. The driver had poor driving skills. He tried to avoid an oncoming car and braked sharply. As a result, she hit the seat in front of her."

What a liar! Sure enough.Miyako was also sitting in that car.The newspaper did not report this matter, probably relying on the power of the general manager of the bank to obliterate the facts.The general manager didn't do it to protect his female companion, but because it would be too embarrassing for the fact that he had a female companion in the car when he was injured. Fortunately, Miyako was slightly injured. If she is also seriously injured, it will be difficult not to report it. In any case, Konno Takuichi is a complete optimist.The husband would never suspect what his wife was doing.

"Good weather," Zhuo Yi said, looking up at Mrs. Lan, "Your performance is over, are you going to work again?" The house thought to himself: You'd better mind your own business and mind your own wife!Really anxious to death.However, it cannot be stated explicitly.The house gradually felt pity for Zhuo Yi. "Yeah," said the house, kicking the grass. "From tomorrow on, I'll be working in the bar again." "Too hard." "We still have to perform. This performance received good reviews from the audience. So next time we will perform a Japanese creative play."

"That's terrible." The author of this play is... The mood of the house to tease each other has risen again.It is said that Aonuma Tejiro is writing a novel for Miyako that can be written into a book immediately.A few days ago, I heard from an editor that because of this, Aonuma and Miyako were getting entangled. Since Zhuoyi didn't know about the general manager, of course he wouldn't know about Aonuma either. "The original author is Mr. Aonuma Tejiro." When the house said this, the expression on Zhuoyi's face seemed to change a bit. "Well, is it?"

"Mr. Aonuma, isn't he the author of the work your wife is planning to publish?" "yes." The house was a little puzzled at this moment, because Zhuo Yi's face suddenly became gloomy, and his words became weak. "Mr. Aonuma is a popular author, isn't he?" Zhuo muttered a little, and whistled again. Soon, Konno Takuichi and Nomiyama House left the open space together. They parted ways on the way.After walking for a while, Zhuo Yi turned his head. At this time, the house walking on the other road happened to turn his head. Zhuo Yi raised his hand in greeting, but the house turned around and walked straight down without any sign.

Zhuoyi walked near his home, but suddenly changed direction as if remembering something. He left the main street and went to another side street.There is almost no traffic there, and he likes to walk on this small road.There were four or five elementary school students walking by. The slope of the path is not large, and the houses on both sides appear taller. Zhuo strode up the ramp, speeding up his pace as if in a hurry. Zhuo Yi sat down on the ruined ground, curled up, crossed his hands, and rested his forehead on them. He was deep in thought for a long time, and sat there motionless. Suddenly, trembling, he stood up suddenly and stretched his arms forward. "Bastard! Zhuo Yi, you bastard!" He widened his eyes and yelled loudly. The window of the house below was opened, and a housewife poked her head out, looking up at Zhuo Yi in surprise. Zhuo Yi stood still for a long time.Finally, he lowered his eyes sadly, put his hands in his pockets, and walked away slowly. Takuichi's wife, Miyako, sat up and read a book.She is not for entertainment, like reading for work.Beside her were four or five bestsellers, a ledger and a desktop computer. Seeing Zhuoyi coming back, Miyako put down the book in her hand, leaned over to get up, and greeted him with a smile. "Don't get up," Zhuo Yi stopped her, "Does your shoulder still hurt?" "It doesn't matter, it's okay to hold a heavy book." "yes?" Zhuo Yi sat cross-legged in front of his wife. He was completely different from when he was shouting angrily on the ruins just now, showing a gentle expression. "I'll make you some tea now." "OK?" "If you can't even do that, you can't do the job." The wife went into the kitchen and asked her husband from there: "Where have you been?" "Well, not far away." "Is that still the open space?" Miyako said with a hint of a smile in her voice. "Did you meet that Miss Nomiyama today?" "what." "She's really interesting. While working in a bar, she's rehearsing a drama with her sleeves empty. She's very refreshing." "yes." "I wanted to talk to her, but she didn't seem very interested." "..." "When we met on the road, we always nodded and saluted each other, but she turned her face and turned around. This person is really weird." The sound of rushing running water and the sound of burning gas can be heard in the kitchen.Miyako came back into the room again. "Are you congenial to her?" Miyako said with a smile on her face.Zhuo Yi couldn't help but notice that his wife's face was much thinner. "That person, I'm not very easy to deal with." Zhuo Yi said. "Yes. But she's interesting, isn't she?" "She said that work is always like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, which makes people overwhelmed?" Miyako smiled secretly after hearing this. "It might be so for you. I can easily imagine that. What was she talking about?" "No..." Nomiyama's words still echoed in Zhuoyi's ears, and in front of his wife, the voice seemed to grow louder and spread out. "Nothing, just chatting." "There must be some content. What did you talk about?" Miyako asked, tilting her head. "I'm not very interested. She's doing a job like that, so she has a lot to talk about. For example, acting, being a guest in a bar, and all kinds of things." Zhuo Yi replied. "Really? That must be interesting. You probably aren't interested... What kind of customers have been in the bar lately?" "The main customers are probably those who travel around under the guise of doing business for the company. Besides, the bar where the girl works is often visited by writers and publishing people." "Is that so? Is Mr. Aonuma going too?" Zhuo Yi couldn't help pricking up his ears, he really didn't expect his wife to take the initiative to mention this name.Moreover, it came out of her mouth unrestrained and extremely natural. Zhuo Yi couldn't help sighing like a stone falling from his heart. "Probably come here often," Zhuoyi himself felt embarrassed and started to smoke a cigarette. "Well, this gentleman is also a drunkard." His wife's calm tone made Zhuo Yi calm down. "Speaking of Mr. Aonuma, I just remembered. Is there any progress in the job he made an appointment with you?" "I believe I have already written a lot of manuscripts I have agreed upon... I have been to Kyoto for a few days, but I haven't contacted you. After a few days, I will go to urge you to read it. He is also very lazy. If you don't urge him, he will refuse to do it." "How about the critic's essay from last time?" "It still doesn't sell well. That kind of work is not exciting, and it won't sell well." "It's quite troublesome. I can help you, as long as I can..." "This kind of job is not suitable for you," said his wife with a smile. "Don't worry about it, write more poems. Therefore, I want to give you plenty of time." "Ok." "Don't be distracted. Don't think about other things, just write poetry." "That's what I planned too." "Yes, it's boring to stay at home all the time, isn't it? I said, how about you go on a trip?" "travel?" "It changes the mood, I think. You go where you've never been. Walk in strange lands at your leisure. Fresh ideas are sure to stand out. For a poet like you, travel is a must." Indispensable." "yes." Zhuo Yi held a cigarette between his fingers and thought about it.It seemed that Miyako's words touched his heart. Miyako felt that what she had done was very sorry to Takuichi. This husband is as kind as a Bodhisattva.He has never been suspicious, just like a child-like innocence.Miyako is willing to do everything for her husband to make up for her sins. However, on the other hand, because of the loss of Imura, Miyako felt that she had lost her spiritual support.On the one hand, she loves Imura, and on the other hand, she loves her husband. Miyako is also unpredictable about herself.However, it doesn't mean that you can't analyze your own psychology at all.I have been in contact with Imura for some years.Imura is reasonable and reasonable, and is her backing in dealing with the world.Of course, she also received financial help when she was in trouble.Miyako was attracted by his generosity. Contrary to him, Miyako's husband has almost no ability to live.All he could think about was poetry.He was unsophisticated, almost like a child, and could not earn his own living.If you let him go, you don't know what he will do, it's very dangerous. For this husband, Miyako has a mother's love.This is exactly the opposite of the feeling of being embraced by Imura.Imura has a place that Miyako can't match.Miyako relies on Imura for everything. Miyako saw through the man's inside story.No matter which man, if he peels off a layer of skin, he is hypocritical, cunning, and ugly.On the surface, they are magnanimous, but in fact, they are suspicious of each other. On the surface, they are generous, but in fact, they are suspicious.Almost all men care about money and women.For their own benefit, they will not hesitate to play any tricks. A person like Zhuo Yi is almost a miracle.Miyako bonded with Takuichi with respect.However, after getting married, it was discovered that Zhuoyi was completely incapable of living, which was far beyond Miyako's expectations.Zhuoyi is just a literary youth who blindly pursues poetic dreams. Zhuo left everything to his wife.He also relies on Miyako, who is extremely capable of living, for everything. Taking care of such a husband made her feel happy, but at the same time, she couldn't help feeling dissatisfied.Of course, she hates cunning men, but it is precisely because of cunning that these men have a strong ability to live, and it is no wonder that women are fascinated by them. For Miyako, Imura was such a person.However, as far as Miyako knew, she had never seen a man like Imura. As for Imura, Miyako could rely on him with complete confidence.Imura loves Miyako.However, after Miyako and Takuichi got married, Imura decided to break up with Miyako sooner or later.When Miyako decided to marry Takuichi, she also planned to cut off contact with Imura. However, this has been difficult to implement.On the one hand, Miyako's career needs Imura, and Imura can't bear to give up Miyako. As a result, Miyako and Imura continued to maintain their original relationship. This time, Imura called Miyako to Arima Onsen and said goodbye.This approach is in line with Imura's character. Only then did Miyako make up her mind. When the traffic accident happened, Imura told Miyako to run away, despite moaning in pain in the overturned car.From this, Miyako couldn't help realizing how strong Imura's love for her was. Once Imura was lost, Miyako felt empty in her heart, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had fallen.Although he had planned to separate from Imura sooner or later, he never expected to suffer such a blow at the last moment.The existence of Imura is like air to her.Normally, Miyako doesn't feel much favor, and the communication between them is also very light, sometimes even forgetting that she has such a relationship with Imura. Now that Imura is no longer with him, he truly realizes how precious the oxygen-rich air is. Imura would never return to his side again.He has gone to a faraway place.However, he seemed to be still supporting Miyako in that distant place. "From now on, you will be single-handed. I'm not here, so you have to work hard. Take good care of your husband." Really want to do a good job, there is no one to rely on anymore. Miyako wanted to strengthen this determination, but the blow of losing Imura broke her heart like sand in the wind. The scene of Imura's wife walking into that hospital in Osaka in a panic is still vivid in my memory.After the middle-aged woman got out of the car, surrounded by many bank staff, she walked up the steps with a thud.It can be said that it is the intuition of the same sex. Miyako thinks that this person will not be a good wife for Imura.From this, Miyako seemed to see the fact behind Imura pouring love into herself. This Imura finally abandoned Miyako and went back to that cold wife.It was not easy for Imura to make this determination. In any case, she was curious to know how Imura was doing at the moment. After Takuichi went for a walk, Miyako called the bank. Miyako knows Imura's secretary.Every time I go to the bank to see Imura, the secretary named Yamada always comes out to receive him. Maybe Yamada has some awareness of the relationship between the general manager and Miyako. Bismuth answered the phone, and Miyako said: "Mr. Yamada, I read in the newspaper that the general manager was injured in a big pull. I wonder how his injury is?" "not too good." Yamada's tone was still polite, but perhaps it was Miyako's psychological effect that she seemed more indifferent than usual. "Oh, that's serious. Are you going to rest for a while?" "Yes, probably." "Do you want to go back to Tokyo and be hospitalized here?" "Yes, probably. I don't know much about his plans." Miyako felt that Yamada suddenly drifted away from her. "How much time do you need to rest?" "Probably quite long," says this rather clearly. "How long is it?" "I think, at least two and a half months of hospitalization. In the next six months of recuperation, I probably won't be able to come to the bank. However, I don't know the details." "Is it so serious? Please say hello to him and ask him to take care of himself." "Yes, I will definitely tell him." After hanging up the phone, recalling Yamada's voice, I felt that the distance with Imura was indeed far away.In the past, as long as you went to the bank, you could see Imura, and as long as you called, you could hear his voice.But now, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hear his voice. A line to Imura was broken.From now on, I will be helpless and lonely. Nomiyama House was accompanying the staff and customers, when they heard the noise at the door, looked back, and saw Aonuma Aonuma who had been here last time, and an editor walking into the bar.The proprietress immediately greeted her. The house saw that the two sat down at the table behind, and continued to chat with the company staff.Even if a new customer arrives, the waitress can't leave here immediately. "Recently, the company has also become stingy," said a senior company employee. "The entertainment expenses have been greatly reduced. The first official banquet in a restaurant can be reimbursed. Reimbursement is not allowed. Restaurants and bars are not allowed. Now this policy is emphasized.” "Well, that won't work," the house said with a smile when he heard that, "the company is our only reliance." "From your tone, we people are always in debt." "No, that's not what it means," said the house. The customer laughed. "It's a pleasure to see you often." Another veteran waitress said flatteringly. "On the contrary, if you have to pay for your own money, you will definitely be alienated. If you are willing to treat us specially, then you can think about it." "Hey, isn't it such an elaborate hospitality?" "No, no, in-store hospitality is limited, and we want to be out-of-store." "Anytime." "It sounds so good. At most, I will accompany you to the rice roll shop, and I will slip away." The Nomiyama house left quietly.It's half past ten, which is the busiest time for customers. "You're here." The house stood in front of Aonuma Tejiro and bowed. "what." Aonuma was holding a bottle of fine brandy.He raised his characteristic empty face, smiled without smiling, and gestured with his eyes.A waitress was sitting between Aonuma and the editor. She stood up cleverly and said: "House, come here." "Long time no see, sir." The house sat down beside Aonuma. "Hey, it's you. Last time, I heard that you are the seed of a drama." "It has already sprouted." "Yeah, just now, the proprietress said, did you go on a tour somewhere?" "Yes, very happy. First time to Kobe." Aonuma Zhenjiro said to the house, order something you like.The house asked for brandy.When the wine arrived, she said "thank you" and raised her glass. "Sir, cheers!" House and Aonuma clinked glasses and said, "Do you know what is the meaning of drinking this glass?" "What do you mean? Congratulations on your successful performance?" "No, it's not. Next time, our troupe will perform your work." "Oh," Aonuma suddenly realized, "You are from the second session." Aonuma carefully studied the face of the house. "When we came back from Hiroshima, on the train, Mr. A, the director, announced the plan. Everyone immediately shouted with joy." "Really?" Aonuma said triumphantly, "Mr. A, you said, came to discuss a few days ago and asked me to let you act. I think this is a research organization for young people. It can provide a learning opportunity. So I agreed." "It's really fate, I just met my husband, and I'm going to act in his work." "You really know how to find works. My play is not easy to act in." "We will work hard." "What role are you playing?" "No decision has been made. It will be announced at the end." "Have you read this work of mine?" "No, I'm so sorry..." "Well," Aonuma Tejiro said, fluttering the wings of his nose, "you can tell as soon as you read it, there is a girly young woman in the work. On the outside, she is innocent, but in fact, there is something devilish in her blood." "It's very interesting. It's great. It seems to reveal the mystery of my ideology..." "Your words are very interesting," Aonuma said with a smile on his face, "Do you want to play this role?" "I want to play it, but it depends on Mr. A. Besides, I'm afraid I can't do such an important role... I heard that creative plays are different from translated plays, and it's difficult to act." "It's nothing, as long as you have this hope, I can recommend you to Mr. A." "Yo, that would be great." The hostesses around Jun applauded. "House, sir. You are lucky. You may be a first-rate actress soon." "At that time, I'm afraid you will ignore us." This is not so much flattery to the house as to Aonuma Tejiro.Aonuma was indeed happy. "This time, if you acted well, I will make you a full member of the Wenyi Theater Troupe. I can tell Mr. A." The so-called "Literature and Art Block" is the superior group of the institute where the house and the others graduated.In terms of drama, it is a first-class troupe. "thank you very much." "where do you live?" "The area around Fujimi Town." "Do you live alone in an apartment?" "yes." "Oh." Aonuma was full of interest. "Sir, are you busy?" The house asked after seeing the change in Aonuma's expression. "yes." "Recently, I heard that you are writing a novel and will publish it as soon as it is finished, isn't it?" Aonuma widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Where did you hear that? How did you know?" "From a certain point. I really want to read this novel. When will it be finished?" "I can't tell." "Is it almost finished?" The house remembered the words of Takuichi Konno, trying to understand the relationship between Aonuma and Miyako through the progress of the creation.
