Chapter 7 Southward move 1

1. South If you take a look at the map of Japan, in the southeast of Tokyo Bay, you can see a gourd-shaped peninsula floating in the boundless Pacific Ocean. This is the famous Anfang Peninsula! Although the Anfang Peninsula is not as beautiful as the Boots Island in the Mediterranean Sea, the layers of waves, blue sky, soft air, flat and soft low hills, fishing nets on the coast, and residents in the villages also have the characteristics of the southern European coast. The nature can make the traveler forget that he is in a foreign land.In English, it is a Hospitality, inviting dream, land of the romantic age (dream of the romantic age of the Middle Ages, with simple rural customs and beautiful mountains and rivers).

The southeast slope runs along the Pacific Ocean, from Choshi to Ohara, forming a half-moon curve, which can be viewed as the narrow part of the gourd.Choshi is a point on the largest circumference of the lower layer of the gourd, and Ohara is a point on the circumference of the second expansion of the gourd.The apex of the gourd has been curving westward.It became a small peninsula inside a big peninsula, named Xijiao Village.The apex of Xijia Village is Suzaki. The west-facing boundary is between the Pacific Ocean and Tokyo Bay. To the east of Suzaki is the Pacific Ocean, and to the north of Suzaki is Tokyo Bay. Every time it is used as the boundary, the area east of Suzaki along the Pacific Ocean is called the outer room, and the area north of Suzaki along the Tokyo Bay is called the inner room.The residents of the original peninsula were commonly called Fangzhou of the peninsula, so Neifangwaifang is the abbreviation of Neifangzhou and Waifangzhou.The gourd-shaped bottom of the Fangzhou Peninsula is connected to Tokyo, so now the train departs from Ryogokubashi Station in Tokyo, and the inner room can go directly to Tateyama, and the outer room can reach Katsuura.

2. Out of Beijing In the spring of 1920, one afternoon in early February, in the small guest room upstairs facing the park in Ueno Jingyangxuan, Tokyo, two strangers were eating tea and fruit there.One is a Westerner in his fifties with a bald spot on the top of his head.The skin is light yellowish black, the left and right sides of the tall eagle beak and nose, and the two eyes deeply sunken in the flesh emit a kind of blunt light.The yellow and black pupils are probably the proof of his ancestry. His five-foot-five-inch body may have the blood of his sister Gypsy mixed in, or maybe the blood of Orientals mixed in, but The mother who gave birth to him was indeed a beautiful Irish woman.He was wearing a set of half-worn gray-black serge western clothes with a round collar, and under the round collar was connected a small black tights, which probably represent the Waist Goat (waist jacket).One is a young man of twenty-four or five years old, and his body is about five feet five inches tall. We can tell that he is Chinese at the first sight, because his thin face and slender body cannot be found among Japanese people. of.He was wearing a vine blue serge university uniform, and his hair was about an inch deep. Because it stood upright on his short face, it reflected a layer of melancholy on his face.He and the Westerner were sitting opposite each other on a small table, his left hand and the Westerner's right were leaning against the glass window facing the park.They spoke English in a quiet voice, with a Melancholy aftertaste, and it was an interesting contrast with the afternoon sun outside the window and the spring sky above their heads. The choice to be translated is:

"Your complexion has become more ugly recently. I advise you to change the air and go to the countryside to recuperate for a few weeks." Westerner. "Is your complexion not good? Going to other places for recuperation is also very good, but one is because I am too lazy to act, and the other is that it is very lonely to go to the countryside alone, so although it is very cold, I don't want to go to places other than Tokyo. ."youth. Speaking of which, there was a gust of wind with sand and rocks blowing outside the window, the glass window vibrated and rang, and the wind passed.

"Have you ever been to Fangzhou?" asked the Westerner. "I haven't been there." The youth. "That's a good place! It's a peninsula protruding from the Pacific Ocean. It receives the warm current from the Pacific Ocean. The air in the outer room is very warm. The temperature is about ten degrees lower than that in Tokyo. At this time, if you go to the Pacific Ocean Going to the shore to have a look, I'm afraid there are some women jumping naked in the sea to catch fish! The surrounding mountains and rivers, the scenery is very good, don't you like our British rural scenery very much? Just go to Fangzhou. "

"Have you been there?" "I go there often. I have a girlfriend who lives in Fangzhou. She is also British. Her husband died and she lives alone by the sea. Her house is very spacious and built in the middle of the woods on the sandy shore; She is also an ardent Christian, if you want to go, I can introduce you, she is very fond of Chinese people, because she and her husband also worked as doctors in China before." "Then please introduce me, go out for a parade, or the itinerary of my life, I don't know if it can be changed." In addition, there are many gossips, which need not be mentioned.

At four o'clock, the clock outside the window rang.The young man rang the bell, called the waiter in, and handed him a five-yuan note.When the young man stood up and was about to leave, he saw that the Westerner was still standing still, so the young man urged, "Let's go!" The Westerner opened his eyes and asked him: "What about looking for a head?" "The ones who have more don't have much money, so I just gave them to the waiter." "The waiter never asks for five dollars. How nice of you to donate your change to the missionary offering of the church!"

"That's all, that's all, it's only a little over one yuan." The Westerner still refused to leave, so the young man walked out of the room alone. The Westerner was still talking softly, seeing the young man leave, he could only follow him out of the room, downstairs, and to the gate. .I took my coat and hat at the gate, and when I walked out, the shadow of the late winter sun had already fallen on the horizon of the western sky, and the houses all over the city were sunk in the twilight light. Ye Yin spread her wings moment by moment, the Westerner and the young man walked slowly in front of the big Buddha in the park, and the lights of houses near and far were turned on.Looking around from the high platform of Ueno Park, I can only see the lights of other people's houses, like fireflies in a gauze bag, shining brilliantly in the smoke that night.The wind blows from a distance, bringing with it the noisy sound of the market.When the sound of tram wheels came close to their ears, they knew it was time to go home.After a quick walk, they had reached the tram stop on the street in front of the park, but there was a tram coming to the west, and the two of them squeezed on it with all their might, because it was a factory shutdown. At that time, all the laborers had to take the tram to go back to their small houses, so the train was extremely crowded.

The youth was squeezed into the back of the tram, and could barely breathe.While the tram was driving, the Ueno bell rang again.Hearing the sound of the evening bell, which was as angry as letting go, his mind suddenly sank again: "These poor flesh-and-blood machines may have wives at home. What is wrong with their little children who are not warm and fed? Once they are born on the ground, they have to suffer from the torture of this world like their parents, or At the gates of slums like pigsty there are children like hungry ghosts waiting for their father to return. These children like hungry dogs, when they grow up to be eight or nine years old, have to work as little machines. Gradually they grew up and became workers, and they had to use their own blood to make up for the shortage of iron and wood machinery, just like their fathers and great-grandfathers. From birth to death, their lives haven't changed a bit. Alas, what's the point of this life? Laborers scare laborers. Why do you bother to live in this world? This is probably the disadvantage of powerful people. Damn these powerful people , the hateful powerful class, it is best to wipe them out by cutting the grass and roots."

When he thought of this, he laughed at himself: "Hehe, you have also been infected by Japanese socialism. If you want to save Japanese laborers, why don't you save your own compatriots first? Under the politics of soldiers and bureaucrats, the sufferings of your compatriots Are Japanese laborers lighter? Although Japanese laborers have no property, their lives are always safe. Your compatriots, farmers in the countryside, if there is a slight violation of the donation of millet, they will not be allowed. They will not be tortured and killed by soldiers. People who used to be robbers and are now military officers, when they enter and leave the capital, if they say that the country people don’t know, and pass by the place where their special cars are parked, they will have to be slaughtered with spears and short knives. He is dead. The armed automatic car of the warlord of the thieves rushed the people to death in the street, and said that the people were not good. For the families of the dead, they should pay for their crimes and fine them. If the wives and daughters of your compatriots are beautiful, they will not Don’t be raped and humiliated by the soldiers. When a Japanese laborer goes home at dusk, his wife and daughter may come to comfort him. At that time, his day’s suffering can be forgotten, but how about your compatriots? I don’t ask if it’s your wife and child, if those army commanders, division chiefs, committee chairmen, county magistrates, etc. want her to be a concubine, can you refuse? When there is a lawsuit, if you send her The magistrate’s money is a little less than your opponent’s, or you don’t have any relatives or friends in the higher-level yamen. Although you have been wronged, can you explain it clearly?……”

When thinking of this, the young man's eyes softened.If he hadn't been squeezed among this group of laborers, he was afraid that his emotions would explode, but when the train arrived at Hongo 3-chome, he reluctantly followed a few laborers and got off the tram.Standing on the Sunset Avenue outside the tram, he searched for it for a while before he saw the bald Westerner sitting on a chair in the middle of the tram with his back turned to him.He walked to the center of the tram, put his feet up, and pushed the glass window of the tram a few times from the outside. The bald Westerner turned his head and saw him standing in the cool wind outside the car. Take the window down from inside the tram: "Have you arrived? I'm sorry for you today. Thank you very much. I need to take care of my body. I..." "Good-bye; I have arrived. Please don't forget the letter of introduction..." Before he could finish speaking, the tram had already left. 3. Duckweed At 2:30 in the afternoon on February 23, the fourth train from Tokyo arrived at the Hojo Railway Station on the Fangzhou Peninsula. This small rural railway station suddenly became lively for a while.There were not many guests, and the scattered passengers went out from the ticket collection area, but the train station was still deserted.A shared carriage parked in front of the train station, picked up a few passengers who got off, and left a few mournful honking of horns. In the clear air of the afternoon, a burst of dust was stirred up. The natural road in the country opens towards the west of the sun. There was only one thin young man standing blankly at the train station, the college student who had tea with a Western missionary teacher at Ueno Jingyangxuan in Tokyo three weeks ago.He is a descendant of Yiyin. If you look at the list of Tokyo Imperial University, you will be able to see his name and birthplace at the first place in the student directory of the liberal arts university: Yiren, a Chinese student studying abroad, enrolled in the eighth year of Taisho. Since Yiren came to Japan at the age of eighteen until last summer, she has never been back to China.Only his grandmother in his family loves him.Yiren's mother, because his father died too early, turned into a half-male and half-female character. She didn't know how to love him when he was a child, so he gradually became a world-weary and melancholy person.After arriving in Japan, his personality became more and more strange. He never interacted with others all year round, and just sat in his room silently, meditating.What he reads are the books of those who have been defeated in the battlefield of life, so the one he loves most is the abbreviated B. V.James Thomson H. Heine, bepaldi, Emst Dowson those people.When he got off the train, he went to the luggage room to take out a canvas bag, which probably contained the collections of poems and essays and biographies of these gentlemen.Because he was cheated by a Japanese woman last summer, his mind and body became like a chicken in water.When I wake up at night, my body is in a cold sweat, and my appetite is lost. Recently, there was a day when I didn't eat anything.Because he was afraid of meeting that woman from last year, he didn't even go for a walk after lunch or dinner.His body became thinner and weaker day by day, and his face changed color day by day.The journey to Fangzhou is in the middle of flat fields, and a small railway has been built. On both sides of the railway, there are either sea and mountains on one side, or dead trees on the other side of wasteland.In Tokyo, where the world of mortals dance softly, the initial feeling of a nervous young man who is extremely disappointed and sad is naturally very light.After Yiren got off the bus, he looked at the pine trees and jungles around him, the blue sky with a few wisps of thin clouds flying, the sunshine floating in the wide open space, and the few simple businessmen sitting in front of the tents in the shop in front of the station. I feel like my home has arrived in the countryside of the eighteenth century.Dreamthorp (By Alexander Smith) in "Village Articles" by Alexander Smith seems to have been moved to the southeast corner of this small island in the East China Sea. Yi Ren took the luggage and asked: "There is a Western woman here, do you know that?" Everyone in the luggage room said: "Is it Mrs. C? Everyone around here knows her. You just need to tell the coachman her name." Yi Ren carried one of his canvas bags and sat on the rickshaw. In the shadow of the dead tree, when he staggered to Mrs. C's house, another doubt arose in his heart: "Mrs. C doesn't know what kind of person she is. She doesn't know if she is very frugal and stingy like Mr. E." It's a pity that he has been abused by the society since he was a child. To this day, he still can't believe that there is a good person in this world.So when he meets people, he never forgets to be vigilant, because he has been bullied too much by the world.After running for 30 minutes on a winding village road, the roof of a wooden Western-style building appeared in the woods.The coachman pointed to that corner of the roof and said: "This is Mrs. C's house!" When the car arrived near the bungalow, Yi Ren saw a circle of small shrubs growing along the garden of the bungalow. Although the tops were not cut neatly, the wall of the shrubs was more elegant than the iron grid and tile wall. When I was a child, I saw Shakespeare's old house in Stratus on the Afeng River in foreign paintings, and I thought about it again.Open the exquisite small door made of several wooden sticks and enter, and you will see the garden around the house. There are several evergreen grasses in the garden, which have also changed color, lying in the weak sunlight in the afternoon.On the right side of the small door is an ancient well, and the bucket hangs one high and one low on the wooden frame above the well.Go straight from the door to the stone-paved road, and then enter a short bamboo fence, which is Mrs. C's house. Because it is inconvenient for Yi Ren to go directly to Mrs. C's house, he ordered the driver to take an introduction from Mrs. E The book is thrown towards the kitchen door.The kitchen door must be a few steps to the right from the main stone road. If one stands at the doorway surrounded by bushes, the kitchen door can also be seen.In the garden, on the derrick, and on the walls of the red wooden bungalows, there was a layer of weak white afternoon sun rays. The surroundings were empty and silent, and no living things were seen, only a few half-sized male and female chickens, staring blankly. Standing by the well, he watched Yiren and his coachman in amazement. The driver yelled at the kitchen door for a long time, but no one came out.Standing at the gate of the wooden gate outside the garden, Yi Ren heard the coachman's call echoing in the silent air, feeling that it was very loud.After waiting for about five minutes, Yi Ren heard footsteps behind him, turned around and saw an old Japanese woman in her fifties walking towards Yi Ren with shaggy hair and a red face.When she saw Yi Ren, she saluted and said: "Are you Mr. Yi from Tokyo? Our boss is looking forward to your coming here every day! Please wait a moment, and I will go and ask the boss to come out." After saying a few words like this, she slowly passed Yi Ren's body and ran to the kitchen door.The driver standing at the door of the kitchen handed Yiren the letter of introduction to her.She ran in.Not long after, she came out from the bamboo fence with a fifty-five or six-year-old Western woman. After Yi Ren rushed to shake hands with the Western woman, she invited Yi Ren to her room, and at the same time told the Japanese woman said: "Move Mr. Yi's luggage upstairs to the outer room!" While talking to Yi Ren, she was preparing black tea there.After talking for thirty minutes, the black tea was finished, and Yi Ren went upstairs to a small room to pack her luggage.After packing half of the luggage, the Japanese woman went upstairs and said to Yi Ren: "Mr. Yi! Now is the time of prayer! Please come down to the prayer room, sir." Yi Ren came down to the prayer room, and saw that two Japanese male students and three female students were already there.After the wife introduced Yiren, she said to Yiren: "Every day from three o'clock in the afternoon to four o'clock, we must gather together to sing hymns and pray. When we pray, we will ring the bell as a mark. (As she spoke, she pointed to the eaves with her hand) Today because I went outside I was not at home, so I was two hours late, so I didn't strike the clock." Yi Ren glanced around, and saw that the first male student had very long hair, draped over his forehead like a lion, wearing a pair of very close-up steel wire glasses, and a circle of black beard around his lips. He looks like he is twenty-six or seven years old.The second male student was a young man in his twenties, also wearing a pair of flat silver-rimmed glasses, a round thick black face with upward-turned lips.Both of them were wearing Japanese blue and white casual clothes, so they knew they were students at the first sight.It is inconvenient for the female student Yiren to observe, so he only took a few glances at a sixteen or seventeen-year-old person sitting opposite him. According to his momentary observation, this sixteen or seventeen-year-old female student should be regarded as It's the best, because the three of them have ordinary looks, but theoretically, they are not up to the level.Only this female student has a pair of dimples on her long face, so when she smiles, there are many cute things about her.After reading a verse from the Bible, singing two hymns, and praying once, the meeting ended.Yi Ren asked the two male students: "Do you live nearby?" The short-sighted man with long hair rushed to reply respectfully: "Yes, we live right behind here." The young student smiled at Yi Ren and said: "You speak Japanese very well. At first we thought you could only speak English, not Japanese." Mrs. C went on to say: "Mr. Yi's English is better than Japanese, but his Japanese is much better than mine!" Yi Ren blushed and said: "Mrs. C! You've given too much credit. Where do these girlfriends live?" Mrs C said: "They all live in the front hut, and they also come to recuperate like you." Saying this, Mrs. C said to the female students: "Mr. Yi's knowledge is very solid. We will ask him to give us a lecture on Sunday!" The voice of goodbye and goodbye came from everyone's mouth.All the people who came to the meeting dispersed.Like the god of death, the night has quietly occupied the space in the house.Mrs. C went back to his room upstairs after Yiren said goodbye. In the dim light of sunset, after tidying up, the electric light came on. At 6:40, the Japanese woman came to invite Yi Ren to dinner. After dinner, after talking for thirty minutes, Yi Ren went upstairs to sleep. Four, hands-on The next morning, Yi Ren was awakened by the sound of birds outside the window. When he got up, the bright red sunlight had already filled the woods on the beach. He opened the window facing south and looked at the open space around him. The healthy sunlight lies across the endless sky.From a distance, he saw a locomotive snorting smoke at Hojo Station. Behind the locomotive were several passenger cars and trucks. He knew that the first train to Tokyo was about to leave.The sunlight was blocked by the car smoke in mid-air, and he saw a layer of red, black and gray in the car smoke, and a black shadow was reflected obliquely on the tinplate roof of the station.From the station, two small tracks gradually widened and passed not far from his eyes. He felt that the blue velvet sky was faintly reflected on the polished rails. He looked around , felt that the vast sky, the houses near and far, the woods, the open space, the railway, and the village roads were all exposed to the sun, filled with life, and seemed to be smiling there. He took a deep breath of the fresh air and felt that his home There was also some anger in his intestines, and he smiled, and he said softly to himself: "Spring is here, ah, Fruehliugistgekommen!" After standing blankly for a long time, he took his toothbrush, powder, soap, towel and went downstairs to the kitchen to wash his face.Seeing him, the red-eyed Japanese woman said loudly: "Did you sleep well last night? Our boss went out to preach. She will definitely be back for the nine-thirty Bible class." After washing his face, he went back upstairs and sat for a while, then the Japanese woman brought a cup of black tea, two pieces of bread and sugar.After Yiren finished eating, she saw that Mrs. C hadn't come back, so she ran out for a walk.Go out through the small door made of wooden sticks, and walk a few steps east along the village road from yesterday. He saw two young people enjoying the sun and discussing on the corridor of a thatched cottage.He looked at the two students who seemed to have met yesterday, so he walked in.Seeing him coming in, the two young men respectfully took out the mat and told him to sit down.That short-sighted young man with long hair, because he was too respectful, made people laugh.After Yi Ren sat down, the long-haired short-sighted eyes smiled, stared blankly at him, and moved his lips a few times. Yi Ren knew that he wanted to talk, so he said to him: "Do you think the weather is good today?" "Yes. Yes. very good, very good, and how long has you been ening Japan?" (Yes, yes, very good, very good, how long have you lived in Japan?) The short-sighted man suddenly uttered a few Japanese-style British words. Yiren wanted to laugh when he saw the changes in his lips that were pointed and rounded, and heard his pronunciation that seemed to hold a stone under the base of his tongue. , but because it was the first time we met, and it was inconvenient to laugh loudly, so I had to smile and replied: "About eight years, quite along time, isn't it?" (It's been almost eight years, it's grown a lot, hasn't it?) There was also a young man in his twenties who laughed when he saw the nearsighted man speaking English, but said to him bluntly: "Let's stop talking, your poor English is better not speaking, haha." The myopic eye listened to Yi Ren's reply and said: "Do you understand my English?" (Do you understand my English?) "Yes, of course, Ido, but..." (Of course I understand, but...) Before Yi Ren finished speaking, he rushed to say: "All right, all right, let us speak English after." (Very good, we will speak English from now on.) The young man said: "Mr. Yi, stop messing with him, let's go for a walk to the beach." Yi Ren agreed, and the young man jumped down from the corridor, adjusted his clothes on purpose like a clown, and shook his body from side to side, back and forth, respectfully to the myopic eyes A salute, said: "Good bye! MisterK, good bye!" Yi Ren couldn't help laughing, and the nearsighted K also said: "Good bye, MisterB, good byeMisterYi." Walking through the yard of the thatched cottage, stepping on the long shadow of the pine trees, two or three steps out is the beach.There is no one on the quiet coast, and it is full of warm sunshine.The sea water reflects the sun's rays, as if smiling there.There are a few lines of pedestrian footprints on the sand, printed there.Looking to the east from a distance, there are several villages and several fishing houses floating in the air, a layer of transparent and clean air wrapping the ridges of those forests.There is a small market in Xibianwan, floating on the sea, the houses in the city are scattered here, behind the houses, there is a small hill, and behind the hill, there is an endless blue sky.There are several sailboats moored at the mouth of the bay outside the city, but the sail walls of those ships can describe the feeling of a port city.Young B said: "That's Tateyama. Don't you see that there are two small islands floating there like green snails outside the bay? One is Eagle Island and the other is Oki Island." Yi Ren looked in the direction B said, and there were indeed two small islands floating there in the thin sea air. When Yi Ren looked at the small islands, he suddenly noticed the small islands in the background of the sky.He raised his head little by little from the horizon, looked at the sky, and felt that the blue-blue celestial body seemed to be melting, so he unconsciously said: "Oh, this blue sea and blue sky!" B also raised his head to look at the sky, and said to Yi Ren: "Mr. Yi! Looking at the blue sky, do you think there is a God sitting in the sky? If God is sitting there, I'm afraid he might fall to the ground in such a sunny day!" Yi Ren replied: "Why didn't you fall? Haven't you read Thais written by Frans? The holy man who hunger for food fell from the sky for the sake of Thais' body." "That's right, that near-sighted neurotic Mr. is also wonderful. He said he was going to a seminary, and every day at midnight, he raised his voice and called out to God. "Lord, oh, Lord, God, Jesus!" "I started screaming like this. On the second day, I asked him what happened last night. But he didn't make a sound, shook his hand a few times, and twisted his mouth." Ask him another day, and he will say: "Yesterday I didn't speak for a day, because this is also a kind of practice. I am assertive for two days in a week. Those who do not speak, no matter what, within these two days: they will never open their mouths." "Sometimes he ran into the rainy day barefoot and stood there. I called him, but he silently answered. At night, he started coughing. Look at the cold weather, naked into the rainy day. Go, how can there be no reason not to catch a cold? In the past two days, I asked him why he went to the rainy day, and he said that this is also a kind of practice. One night because he called "The Lord is scared! God is scared" because he screamed too much , I was woken up by him in my dream, I listened to it, and I was also afraid. I thought a robber was coming, so I got up, put on my clothes, went to his room to see him, and looked at him through the door. I couldn't help laughing when I saw it in the cracks. Guess what, the old man took off all his clothes, put his head on the ground, put his feet on the wall, closed his eyes, and made a face. With a distressed and uncomfortable expression, all he yelled: "Scared by God, scared by God, scared by God, scared by God!" "I went to ask the next day, but he didn't answer a word. I knew it was his severance day, so I didn't ask him." When B described K as short-sighted, he was like a clown in a theater, doing his hands and feet very ecstatically.Later, Yiren asked B and said: "Why does K have to do this!" "He said he was going to seminary because he was getting ready, but in my opinion, he'd better go to a madhouse." Yi Ren laughed again.The healthy laughter of the two of them echoed in the air of the silent coast, and I felt that the weather of this day was fresh and lovely.The shadows of the two of them and the footprints of the two pairs of leather shoes walked back and forth on the soft sofa by the sea, and suddenly they heard a clear bell ringing in the clear sky. They knew that it was time for Bible class, so Go to Mrs. C's house. When I arrived at Mrs. C's house, the near-sighted K and three female students had already surrounded Mrs. C and sat there. When K saw Yiren and B coming, he jumped up and shouted in English with a loud voice. Say: Hello, Where have youbeen? " (Hey! Where have you been?) The three female students and Mrs. C all laughed. The row of white teeth and the pair of dimples on the female student that Yiren observed yesterday made her even more lovely.Yi Ren smiled and peeked at her there.Everyone sat down, and Yi Ren took the same seat as yesterday, sitting opposite to the female student.A hymn was sung, and everyone took turns reading the Bible.When it was the female student's turn to read, Yi Ren paid attention to her small mouth, and a layer of blush naturally appeared on her face.After she finished reading, Yi Ren was still staring blankly at the curve of her mouth; when she raised her head, her sight was confused with Yi Ren's.She immediately blushed and lowered her head.Yi Ren also felt embarrassed, so he focused his attention on the Bible in his hand.I am afraid that no one here knows where these subtle emotions are revealed.After the Bible class was over, everyone had to go home. K, who was short-sighted, said to Yiren in English: "Mr Yi, let us take a walk." (Mr. Yi, let's go for a walk.) Before Yi Ren could answer, he said to the female student sitting opposite Yi Ren: Miss O, you Will joinus, would you? (Ms. O, you can go with us too.) The female student's original surname was O. When she heard this, she immediately blushed, put on her shoes, and ran back. Mrs. C said to Yi Ren: "The weather is fine today, and it would be nice for you to go for a walk by the sea." When K heard this, he cried out and said: "Yes, yes. allright, allright." (Not bad not bad, yes yes.) Yiren couldn't refuse, so he had to go to the seaside with K and B.After walking for a while, Yi Ren said that he was tired and wanted to go home. K stopped him and said: "Letuspray!" (Let us pray.) As K knelt down, Yi Ren was startled by him, and had no choice but to bend her knees. B, however, stands motionless and watches. K also called many masters to frighten God and frighten God.After calling for a while, he stood up and said: "Good bye Good bye!" (See you later.) While talking, he turned around and strode away. Yi Ren couldn't figure it out, and while beating the sand on his knees, he said to B: "What's going on, is he angry?" B says: "What is angry, this is his madness!" As he said that, B imitated K's appearance again and knelt down. God was terrified, the Lord was terrified, and God yelled in terror.Yi Ren couldn't help laughing again.Suddenly, the sound of singing hymns reached their ears in the distance. B says: "You see, whether you are angry or not, this is the hymn he sang." Yi Ren asked B if he was a Christian. B says: "I'm not a Christian, because K insisted that I go to the Bible, so I went. In fact, I also want to believe in a religion, because I am too frivolous, so I want to have a belief that can respect myself." Yiren talked to him about religion, and each of them told him about his school records.It turned out that B was a student of the Tokyo Higher Commercial School. He contracted influenza at the end of last year and came to Fangzhou to take care of the descendants of the sick.Speaking later, Yi Renjian said: "Mr. B, I live in Mrs. C's house, and I don't feel very free. Will your master lend me the vacant room?" "Yes, yes, I'll talk to the master when I get back. You can move here this afternoon. That Mrs. C is a famous miser. If you live with her for a long time, you may make trouble!" Walking along the beach again, they saw that their own shadows were getting shorter and shorter. When it was almost twelve o'clock, Yiren said goodbye to B and came back to Mrs. C's house. at lunch time.Yi Ren told Mrs. C that K and B were going to move to the back to live together, but Mrs. C didn't want to keep her. After lunch, Yi Ren moved to another room at the back. After tidying up her luggage and books, and seeing that it was getting late, Yi Ren went for a walk on the beach alone.A vast blue sea is as flat as a mirror.The sun was slanted, and the light hit the tops of the pine trees, making several shadows.On the coast in the afternoon, the scenery is different from that before noon.Yi Ren looked at it quietly, feeling that the scenery around him was indescribable.He wanted to compare the scenery in the morning to a pure virgin with consumptive disease, and the scenery in the afternoon to a plump married woman after maturity.However, when I think about it carefully, I feel that the comparison is too vulgar.He stood and watched for a while, then bowed his head and walked for a while, on a coast in early spring, only he and his thin shadow were moving there.He walked west towards the sun once, seeing that he was far away from home, and wanted to turn around and walk back home. When he looked down, he suddenly saw a new mark on the sand under his feet. The woman's footprints are there.He looked back and forth, and knew that the owner of this footprint must be in the nearby woods.Without any purpose, he just followed the footsteps and headed south to the pine forest on the bank.After walking no more than thirty paces, he saw a felt blanket in the dry grass in the shadow of the tree, and several books and women's magazines were spread there.Because the withered grass grew so much, he couldn't see it on the edge of the sea. He knew that it must belong to the owner of the footprint, but the owner of the footprint went nowhere.呆呆的站了一忽,正想走转来的时候,他忽见树林里来了一个妇人,他的好奇心又把他的脚缚住了,等那妇人走近来的时候,他不觉红起脸来,胸前的跳跃怎么也按不下去,所以他只能勉强把视线放低了,眼看了地面,他就回了那妇人一个礼,因为那时候,她已经走到他的面前来了,她原来就是那姓O 的女学生。他好像是自家的卑陋的心情已经被看破了的样子,红了脸对她赔罪说: “对不起得很,我一个人闯到你的休息的地方来。” “不……不要……” 看她也好像是没有什么懊恼的样子,便大着胆问她说: “你府上也是东京么?” “学校是在东京的上野……但是……家乡是足利。” “你同C夫人是一向认识的么?” “不是的……是到这里来之后认识的。……” “同K君呢?” “那一个人……那一个是糊涂虫!” “今天早晨他邀你出去散步,是他对我的好意,实在唐突得很,你不要见怪了,我就在这里替他赔一罪罢。” 伊人对她行了一个礼,她倒反觉难以为情起来,就对伊人说: “说什么话,我……我……又不在这里怨他。” “我也走得乏了,你可以让我在你的毡毯上坐一坐么?” “请,请坐!” 伊人坐下之后,她尽在那里站着,伊人就也站了起来说: “我可失礼了,你站在那里,我倒反而坐起来。” “不是这样的,不是这样的,我因为坐得太久,所以不愿意再坐了。” “这样我们再去走一忽罢。” “怕被人家看见了。” “海边上清静得很,一个人也没有。” 她好像是无可无不可的样子。伊人就在前头走了,她也慢慢的跟了来。太阳已经快斜到三十度的角度了,他和她沿了海边向西的走去,背后拖着了两个纤长的影子。东天的碧落里,已经有几片红云,在那里报将晚的时刻,一片白白的月亮也出来了。默默地走了三五分钟,伊人回转头来问她说: “你也是这病么?” 一边说着一边就把自家的左手向左右肩的锁骨穴指了一下,她笑了一笑便低下头去,他觉得她的笑里有无限的悲凉的情意含在那里。默默的又走了几步,他觉得被沉默压迫不过了,又对她说: “我并没有什么症候,但是晚上每有虚汗出来,身体一天一天地清瘦下去,一礼拜前,我上大学病院去求诊的时候,医生教我休学一年,回家去静养,但是我想以后只有一年三个月了,怎么也不愿意再迟一年,所以今年暑假前我还想回东京去考试呢!” “若能注意一点,大约总没有什么妨碍的。” “我也是这么的想,毕业之后,还想上南欧去养病去呢!” “罗马的古墟原是好的,但是由我们病人看来,还是爱衣奥宁海岸的小岛好呀!” “你学的是不是声乐?” “不是的,我学的是钢琴,但是声乐也学的。” “那么请你唱一个小曲儿罢。” “今天嗓子不好。” “我唐突了,请你恕我。” “你又要多心了,我因为嗓子不好,所以不能唱高音。” “并不是会场上,音的高低,又何必去问它呢!” “但是这样被人强求的时候,反而唱不出来的。” “不错不错,我们都是爱自然的人,不唱也罢了。” “走了太远了,我们回去罢。” “你走乏了么?” “乏倒没有,但是草堆里还有几本书在那里,怕被人看见了不好。” “但是我可不曾看你的书。” “你怎么会这样多心的,我又何尝说你看过来!” “唉,这疑心病就是我半生的哀史的证明呀!” “什么哀史?” 伊人就把自小被人虐待,到了今日还不曾感得一些热情过的事情说了。两人背后的清影,一步一步的拖长起来,天空的四周,渐渐儿的带起紫色来了。残冬的余势,在这薄暮的时候,还能感觉得出来,从海上吹来的微风,透了两人的冬服,刺入他和她的火热的心里去。伊人向海上一看,见西北角的天空里一座倒擎的心样的雪山,带着了浓蓝的颜色,在和软的晚霞里作会心的微笑,伊人不觉高声的叫着说: “你看那富士!” 这样的叫了一声,他不知不觉的伸出了五个指头去寻她那只同玉丝似的手去,他的双眼却同在梦里似的,还悬在富士山的顶上。几个柔软的指头和他那冰冷的手指遇着的时候,他不觉惊了一下,伸转了手,回头来一看,却好她也正在那里转过她的视线来。两人看了一眼。默默地就各把头低去了。站了一忽,伊人就改换了声音,光明正大的对她说: “你怕走倦了罢,天也快晚了,我们回转去罢。” “就回转去罢,可惜我们背后不能看太阳落山的光景。” 伊人向西天一看,太阳已经快落山去了。回转了身,两人并着的走了几步,她说: “影子的长!” “这就是太阳落山的光景呀!” 海风又吹过一阵来,岸边起了微波,同飞散了的金箔似的,浪影闪映出几条光线来。 “你觉得凉么,我把我的外套借给你好么?” “不凉……女人披了男人的外套,像什么样子呀!” 又默默的走了几步,他看看远岸已经有一层晚霞起来了。他和K、B住的地方的岸上树林里,有几点黑影,围了一堆红红的野火坐在那里。 “那一边的小孩儿又在那里生火了。” 这正是一幅画呀!我好像唱得出歌来的样子: Kennst du das Land,wo die Zitronen bluehn. Im dunkeluh Laub die Coldorangen gluehn, Ein sanfter Wind vom blauen Hlmmel weht, Die Myrte still und boch der lorbeer steht, “底下的是重复句,怕唱不好了! 'Kennst du es sohl? Dahin!Dahin Moecht'ich mit dir,O meIn Geliebter,ziehn! " 她那悲凉微颤的喉音,在薄暮的海边的空气里悠悠扬扬的浮荡着,他只觉得一层紫色的薄膜把他的五官都包住了。 “Kennst du das Haus,auf Saeulen rubt seln dach, Es giaenzt drs saal,es schimmert das cermach, Und Marmoilder stehn und sehn mlch an: Was hat man dlr,du armes kind,getan? " 四边的空气一刻一刻的浓厚起来。海面上的凉风又掠过了他的那火热的双颊,吹到她的头发上去。他听了那一句歌,忽然想起了去年夏天欺骗他的那一个轻薄的妇人的事情来。 “你这可怜的孩于呀,他们欺负了你么,唉!” 他自家好像是变了迷娘(Mignon)。无依无靠的一个人站在异乡的日暮的海边上的样子。用了悲凉的声调在那里幽幽唱曲的好像是从细浪里涌出来的宁妇(Nymph)魅妹(Mermaid)。他忽然觉得Sentimental起来,两颗同珍珠似的眼泪滚下他的颊际来了。 “Kennst du es wohl? Dahin!Dahin MocchtIch mlt Dlr,O meln Beschuetzer,zlehn! Kennst du den Berg sein wolkensteg? Das Maultier sucht im Nebel seinen Wig, In Hcehlen wohnt der Drachen alte Brut, Es stuerzt der Fels und ueber lhn de Flut: Kennst du ihn wohl? Dahin!Dahin Geht unser weg,O Vlter,lass uns ziehn! " 她唱到了这一句,重复的唱了两遍。她那尾声悠扬同游丝似的哀寂的清音,与太阳的残照,都在薄暮的空气里消散了。西天的落日正挂在远远的地平线上,反射出一天红软的浮云,长空高冷,带起银蓝颜色来,平波如镜的海面,也加了一层橙黄的色彩,与四围的紫色溶作了一团。她对他看了一眼,默默地走了几步,就对他说: “你确是一个Sentimental!” 他的感情脆弱的地方,怕被她看破,就故意的笑着说: “说什么话,这一个时期我早已经过去了。” 但是他颊上的两颗眼泪,还未曾干落,圆圆的泪珠里,也反映着一条缩小的日暮的海岸。走到她放毡毯书籍的地方,暮色已经从松树枝上走下来,空中悬着的半规上弦的月亮;渐渐儿的放起光来了。 “再会再会!” “再会……再……会!”
