Probably due to the lack of sleep in the past few days, and the result of the late-night parade after the excitement of last night, when I woke up in the morning, I felt a little dizzy and achy. The yellowish sunlight in the patio had already shone through the lattice windows .When the nose sucks in, only half of the nostril can still be ventilated, and the rest of the nostril is tightly plugged, no different from a rusty pump.Turning over on the bed, my back and kneecaps felt so sore, I knew I had caught a cold. The air in this hotel before noon was very still, except for a few footsteps and a few intermittent words, there was no sound at all.I wanted to force myself to get up and put on my clothes, but I turned over again and felt pain all over my body, and nothing happened anyway, so I fell asleep again drowsily.Very unsteady sleep, I would wake up every one or two minutes, and in the middle of half-asleep and half-awake, all I saw were strange and bizarre dreams that did not follow each other.I saw my late father running in front of me, and I saw many statues in the temple walking freely, and I saw Yueying and Yueying walking on the edge of the water, and Yueying suddenly fell into the water.Until the waiter in the hotel, when I entered the room to bring lunch and water, I finally got out of sleep completely.

The dizziness and pain in the head are more severe than before. Although the breathing in the nostrils is uncomfortable, the breath I exhale feels hot and uncomfortable. The waiter woke me up, lifted the curtains to look at me, and told me in a panic: "Mr. Wang! Why is your face so red?" I told him that it seemed that I had a fever and I didn't want to eat, so I told him to give me a handkerchief.He introduced many doctors and prescriptions to me, and I told him that I still want to stop taking medicine now, and I will talk about it in the evening.My voice when talking to him also changed, as if a broken gong was hoarse, and it sounded strange to me.

After he walked out, I hooked up the tent door, lay on the pillow, looked at the sunlight slanting on the lattice window, and listened to the chirping of a little bird on an old tree at the corner of the patio, and my mind became clear. a little bit.But when he remembered what happened yesterday, he was a little confused again. He went out with Xie Yueying, went up to the tower to watch the river, and all kinds of scenes in the theater seemed to be covered with a layer of tulle, which seemed to be a few years ago.Coughing for a while, wanting to stretch out my head to spit, I turned my eyes, but I saw Yueying's package of materials yesterday, still on the side of my pillow.

More clearly, I thought about what happened yesterday again, and I do not know when I fell asleep again. In the middle of half awake and half asleep, I heard someone calling the door outside.Got up and opened the door to go out, but saw Xie Yueying smiled and said she wanted to go out.I just don't want her to go out, she seems to belong to me already.She changed her face and raised her lips. I didn't ask what was wrong, and just slapped me with one mouth.After she was hit by me, she turned around and ran out.I also desperately chased behind.The weather outside is only dark, as if it was the night of the Thirteenth Fourteenth, when the moon is covered by clouds.It was also very quiet outside, only she and I were running on the silent long street.After beating around the bush and running for an untold amount of time, a wild beast that was neither a human nor an ape suddenly appeared in front of it.The beast's head was wrapped in a black cloth, and it wore nothing but fur.After it let Yueying jump over, it threw itself on me.I struggled vigorously for a while, yelled a few times, and opened my eyes to see that Yueying was still quietly sitting in front of my bed.

"Ah! Are you okay?" I wiped my eyes and asked her hastily.There seemed to be a lot of cold sweat on his body and face, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.She turned around slowly, smiled and asked me: "Mr. Wang, did you have a dream just now? I heard you whining!" I raised my eyes again to look at the light in the room, and the square table next to the table where she was sitting After sitting in the chair, I thought about the dream just now, and felt really embarrassed in my heart.After fully waking up, I half ashamed and half happy asked her when did she come into this room?Are they getting better?Then I told her that I also had a cold and didn't want to get up today.

"Your piece of satin," I continued intermittently, "I wanted to send you this piece of satin yesterday, but I was afraid that they would see and talk, so I finally dared not come in." "Wan, Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry. You ran so hard yesterday, and you really got sick today. I just asked the waiter where your house is, and he said you Are you sick, do you feel hard?" "Thank you. I feel much better now. I probably have a cold. I just broke out in a sweat just now, and my fever seems to be gone." "Maybe it's a recent epidemic, and grandma and the others will recover soon. Mr. Wang, do you want to take that white medicine tablet?"

"It's aspirin, isn't it?" "It seems to be, anyway, I took the medicine that makes me sweat." "I'm afraid it is. If you have any, please give me some. I will ask the waiter to buy them later." "Okay, let me get it." "Hey, hey, you take this bag of satin by the way!" After she went out, I picked up a dry towel covered by the pillow and wiped the wet sweat on my head and body, and my mind became much clearer.But the mind always feels very empty, and the mouth also feels very pale. After Yueying came with the aspirin tablets, she sat down again, and talked with me for a long time. Only then did I know that she was Li Lanxiang's cousin, and she was originally from northern Anhui, like she grew up in Tianjin. Chen Liankui was originally It was my partner when I was working in Tianjin. This time, because I couldn't get along with En Xiaofeng and the others in Hankou; so I accepted the appointment here, and the three of them broke out and went to A place together.Baoyin is 200 yuan per person per month.That grandma was their late master's woman, Li Lanxiang and her, and their own mother, the two old sisters, still lived in Tianjin, and there was also a general manager who was in charge of chores, etc., who lived in Anyuan. inside.It's Chen Liankui's adoptive father. The three of them came here, and he was the one who introduced and negotiated. He wanted to take 20% of the money.Their contract was originally for a period of three months, but now the owner of the garden has sold a lot, so it may be extended again.But she is very unwilling to live in this small place for a long time. Maybe at the end of the year, she will go to Beijing with Li Lanxiang, because Beijing Minle Tea Garden is also writing letters to urge them to join the class.

In the midst of suffering and boredom, listening to her talk about such days is more effective than taking medicine. By the time the short days are late, I have forgotten more than half of my illness.Hearing the big wall clock outside the partition wall striking five o'clock majestically, she also got anxious, stood up and walked while muttering: "It's getting dark so fast. Look, isn't it getting a little dark in the room? Ah, I've been talking nonsense for too long today. Mr. Wang, you won't be annoying, will you? See you tomorrow!" I want to get up and send her out, but she will not allow me to get up, saying:

"Lie down, you can recover from your illness after two days of sleep, and I will come to see you again when I have time." After she went out, there was only a feeling of loneliness and the shadow of approaching night in the room. Even though I was lying on the bed, I felt some sadness in my heart.I wanted to force myself to get up and get dressed to go out, but the cold air outside the door was really scary, so I had to close my eyes and recall some of her expression and demeanor when she spoke today, to accompany my loneliness. What she was wearing today was a maroon padded jacket, and underneath that same pair of black cotton trousers with big feet.With my head half facing the front of the bed, half sideways I was looking at the many foreign pictures on my wall with thumbtacks.Although I usually see her face very familiarly on the stage, but this is the first time that I have to see her plain face after taking off her clothes so closely and for a long time.That night in their room, I didn't dare to look at her because of my shyness. I didn't look at her carefully on the ground tower yesterday because of the charming smoke scene of nature. After half a day of observation today, I can read all the features of her face. It's overripe.

Her slanted eyes, if they were born on the face of an ordinary woman, would inevitably give people a lewd and vicious impression.But to her, because of the high bridge of the nose, the fundus of the two eyes under the shadow of the bridge of the nose are round and dark, it doesn't look strange to her.What can especially blend with this feeling is the thin and curved lips in the short lips under her nose. When she talks, her pair of thin and white teeth will always be exposed. .When he opened his mouth to smile, the half-concealed golden tooth in the big left tooth was not annoying.What I usually hate most is the gold teeth in women, thinking that they are the boring expression of inferior women, but her hidden golden teeth are enough to increase the charm of her smile.The curves from the lower lip to the larynx are more intriguing. The lower lip is a very soft and curved crescent, and the larynx is a round sickle back. The two same curves are arranged very well. The proper overlap is there.And when speaking, there will be watery microwaves on the crescent line of the sickle.

Her voice is definitely not like a singer who can sing leather reeds, because her voice is very soothing and leisurely, and there is always a smile and a squint between a sentence and a sentence.When you listen to her usual talk, and then think of her rapid rhythm when she sings allegro on stage, no one will be surprised, and feel that the two personalities are too far apart. After a long time, I carefully observed the characteristics of her voice and smile, and the impulse of an artist lying in my chest was suddenly aroused.As I closed my eyes, I recalled the impression her overall posture had given me. At the same time, I made up my mind that the next time I saw her, I would ask her to sit for me a few times so that I could draw a picture for her. a portrait. The lights came on, and the noise from the hotel lobby in the distance probably signaled the opening of dinner.I haven't taken food or drink all day, and I feel a little hungry at this time, so I got up and sat under the quilt, let out my groaning throat, and planned to call the waiter to come in and prepare some porridge for me. The wall clock on the other wall has struck six o'clock.
