Chapter 10 Section ten

The door was opened, and a group of people suddenly poured into the yard. No. 27, Lane 13 has never been so lively in my impression. Although there were a large number of people, they didn't dare to make a sound, they just stood there in good order, waiting for Xia Hua to speak.But I guess if Xia Hua refuses to leave again, this group of people will definitely rush forward and kidnap her alive.The so-called person who knows current affairs is a hero, Xia Hua wiped her face, stood up, carried her bag, and staggered towards the door.As soon as I walked to the door, someone took the bag in her hand. She turned around, smiled at me, and waved to me smartly as a farewell.She looked very much like the rich aunt who flew up to the branches in old movies. All the props were complete, except for a colorful cheongsam.

In my impression, she also had an experience of pretending to be drunk. That time, she owed a lot of debts to others and lived on the street. Fortunately, she met Anan and paid for the drink for her.How they went through the process of falling in love and getting to know each other until they broke up, I haven't done much speculation. If breaking up is necessary, then her current result may not be a good one. At least, she won't be like Lin Guoguo, wandering all her life and not knowing where she ends up.At least, she chose a just-right dock to rest for a while, who can say that this is not a kind of luck?I don't believe in the vanity she pretends to be, just like I will never believe in Lin Guoguo's saying "Money is never too much".

Obviously for her, only love is the greatest luxury. If not enjoyment, at least there is money to fill the void.Why not? Poison chased after him, but she insisted on shaking off Poison's hand, refusing to be supported.Poison still kept up and put an arm around her shoulder.She was laughing, standing on tiptoe, holding the poison on one arm, and stretched out the other hand to the poison's head. While rubbing his hair, she pretended to complain: "I sent my sister out, and you don't want to set off firecrackers?" "Yes," Poison's answer was beyond my expectation, "How could I forget?"

After finishing speaking, he let go of her arm, dragged out a snakeskin bag from the house, folded a long bamboo pole from the grape arbor, set up the firecrackers, and handed them to a fat man standing by the yard , said in a rough voice: "Hold it!" After all, he took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it. The crackling firecrackers exploded in an instant, and the air in the winter night seemed to be infected by the earth-shattering firecrackers, making people feel chilly.Just as the sound of firecrackers rang, Poison slowly squatted down and let Xia Hua get on his back. Xia Hua smiled tenderly, and leaned forward.

I have never seen him so gentle and serious. He stood up slowly, walked quietly to the door step by step, and performed the ceremony so obediently - marrying her sister into someone else's house. I saw Xia Hua buried her head on Poison's neck, and I didn't know if she was crying or laughing.I think it's mostly a smile.It's just me, why can't I see their backs more and more clearly? They drifted away and walked towards the entrance of the alley. The crowd followed behind them, blocking my sight.I looked down and realized that I was really crying. It can be regarded as happy tears, I sincerely wish her well.

I believe that if Anan knows, he will be happy for her, right?He is such a good person, even if he can't own it, it's good to see others happy. I don't know how long I stood by the door. When Poison came back, he was the only one left with his head down, only caring about the movement of his toes all the way, like a lost child. When he came up to me, he looked up and asked me, "Remember that dog?" I nod. "He died the year before last." He said, "He died in Xia Hua's arms and was buried here. From now on, he will be the only housekeeper in this yard." His expression and tone made him extremely lonely.The crack in my heart began to ache again, and I couldn't help reaching out to hug him, like hugging the last flame that could warm me.

He didn't say anything, just picked me up and carried me into his room. I will never forget the apocalyptic atmosphere here.The light shone on my rosy cheeks, but his face was blurred. I miss the feeling of darkness. Many times, I even want to plunge into this dim world and never look up.It’s like holding a piece of floating wood on a very wide sea, no matter how hard I try my best to struggle, the sea water still fills up bit by bit, pouring into my nose, ears and eyes, without turning back . Poison, poison.He, like his name, is irresistible to me. Years ago he beat me to pieces in this house, and now that we're here, I'm the one to soothe his wounds.There are still many things I have no time to ask, but they are no longer important.Nothing gives me more courage than hugging him.Even if he is choking my neck now, trying to kill me, I swear that there will be no more struggles.

All this is because I see myself in the loneliness in his eyes. In fact, I have been lonely all these years, haven't I?Read alone, ride the subway alone, eat lunch alone, be sad alone, be happy alone, think hard about your future alone, stay away from love alone. "My. My. My." He repeated these short words in my ear. I don't want to make any sound to respond to him. This overwhelming happiness makes me fear, fearing that this dream will wake up at any time, and the spell-like parting song that entangles my life will irresistibly ring in my ears. Am I worthy of such happiness?Am I worthy?

I just grabbed the amulet around my neck and held on tight, for no reason. Just this moment is really enough for me.Maybe there is her factor in my blood, I will never turn back, I don't understand the danger, even if I pay the price of my life, I am willing to smile at Jiuquan. But will he understand? Not knowing what time it was, he got up and lit a cigarette.I turned on the bedside lamp and looked at him with my head resting on the cushion.He stretched out a finger, stroked my eyelashes gently, and sighed, "You are mine at last." I pinched his chin in reply.He sighed again: "She is finally married."

"Be happy," I said, "she has a reason for her choice." He put his arms around me, smoked a cigarette, and told me stories: "When I was thirteen years old, I was working as a boy in an underground casino. In fact, I was just filling in. She was working as a waitress in a beauty salon, and I had no money." I went to ask her for it. At that time, I was cheated and lost 2,000 yuan. She stole the money from the owner of the store to pay off my debt, but I was caught and taken to the police station. The boss was a pervert, he had a wife, fell in love with her, insisted on asking her to accompany him, and said that this matter would not be pursued, so she spit on his face in public, and later did not know about it Why did the boss who took me know at that time, he didn’t know how to get her out. If I didn’t pay attention, they would have sex. That should be her first boyfriend, and that man was crippled. I saw him beat her with my own eyes. I just use that crutch, which is very thick. Don't look at how imposing she usually looks, but she was as scared as that little mouse in front of him. But thanks to the lame man, she rented one by herself. Small storefront, doing beauty treatments for others, and earning some money to support the two of us. Later I asked her, 'He hit you, are you still with him?', she took a bowl from the cupboard and put it on the table Knock, break a hole in the bowl, and say: 'Either, you run away to earn a lot of money, or you take this and go out to ask for money.' I was sensible around that time, and I knew it was not easy for her."

"Why do you know Baldy Yu again?" I was attracted by his story and couldn't help asking. "It's also a coincidence," he said, "I stole Yu Anduo's money, and later caused Yu Anduo to commit suicide. His father came to my house and wanted to kill me. She pleaded for me, but the bald man fell in love with him." Because of her beauty, I began to pursue her. At that time, I was in trouble every day, and her small beauty salon was not enough to pay for my debts. Yu Bald gave her some sweetness, so she obediently closed the beauty salon and accompanied him Playing on occasion to socialize. She has no livelihood, so Yu Dehai will eat her even more, or how can he say that he is old and cunning? Of course, if there is no debt collector like me, she doesn't need to sell herself like this. Maybe find a good man and marry her Now, she is living a normal life. You see, she is still young and beautiful, and I owe her what she married to such a bad old man, and I will never pay it back in this life." After speaking, he threw away the cigarette butt and covered his face with his hands. I reached out and pulled his hand away, taking his palm.Then I moved closer to his face and offered my lips.He was about to respond when the phone rang.He glanced at his phone, sat up from the bed, and then, he walked into the bathroom with the phone. In fact, it was superfluous, because the surrounding area was too quiet, and the old house was not soundproof, so I could clearly hear his voice talking in the bathroom. "What's going on?" He seemed to have encountered something that surprised him. After a while of silence, I heard him say again: "No need to pick up, I'll take a taxi and take care of him. I'll check the earliest flight tomorrow and come back as soon as possible." Facing her on the other side of the phone, his voice was surprisingly peaceful and mature, completely different from the domineering and unreasonable one when he was talking to me, like another person. I quickly fell out of the dream, hugged my legs, and felt cold all over. He stayed in the bathroom for a while before finally walking back to the bed.Say to me, "I'm sorry." "Sorry who? Why are you sorry?" I asked. "I have to hurry back," he said. "It's a little urgent." "What's up?" He refused to answer. At the same time, he opened the wardrobe, took out a small black suitcase, and opened it. I was surprised to see what he did, and continued to ask: "You came back specially to attend Xia Hua's wedding, and now you are leaving in a hurry, what is this?" "It's really urgent." He said, and took out a thick stack of RMB from the interlayer of the suitcase, which was about forty to fifty thousand. He put the money in my hand and said, "These money, please help me tomorrow." Give it to Xia Hua." "Shouldn't you give it to her yourself?" "I'm leaving. Now I'm at the airport, so I can catch the earliest flight." His tone became serious, even unfamiliar. In the past, at this time, I knew to brake.But today I couldn't bear it anymore, and threw a dozen dollars on the bed, then I got out of bed, dressed neatly, walked to the door, and heard him say behind me: "Ma Zhuo, if you Get out of this door and never come back, we won't see each other again." I went out into the yard and I stayed there for a few seconds, actually hoping he would chase me out and hug me from behind and beg me not to go.But this is not his style, whether it is the unruly boy wearing a peaked cap back then, or this handsome man in a British suit today, he cannot do this.I wanted to turn back, but I clearly heard the sound of the phone coming from his room—obviously, he was already calling to inquire about the time of the earliest flight to Shenzhen. Everything is just a circle drawn, and each goes its own way. He is still him, and I am still me. We still can't be together. I turned on my phone and saw that the current time was 02:39.It was too cold for me to stay in the yard for another second.I was never his most important person, from beginning to end, never was, and could not be. I took a deep breath, opened the closed door, and walked out.
