I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 202
Back at "Jiulongju", the spirit of foreign wine mixed with beer came up. I threw the key on the table, fell heavily on the bed, and then lost consciousness... When I woke up again, It was already late at night, and my throat was burning like smoke.

I used a quick pot to boil a pot of water, and while waiting, I went to the bathroom to vomit again, and when I sat down again, my whole body seemed to be exhausted... For a man, this time is probably fragile... However, in the illusory yet real night, I had to accept the fact that I was alone.

Panting heavily, I relieved myself, and after I felt a little more comfortable, I poured myself a full glass of boiling water; however, what I need more is warm water, or a glass of honey water that can protect the stomach.

In the process of waiting for the water to cool down, I inevitably thought a lot, and the one that gave me the most headache was: where should I get the 1 yuan sincerity money promised to Cao Xue?Now I have run out of ammunition and food, and I can’t even ask Taozi to borrow it, because today I have nothing to say to Tie Nan, not to mention, I know Taozi is not easy, and I don’t want to trouble her in my heart. I can be sure that with Tetsuo's current performance, if I repeat the borrowing of money, it will inevitably cause conflicts between him and Tao Zi.

Lighting a cigarette, I thought hard...

Lao Mi should be able to come up with 1 yuan, but he always thinks that I am doing well in Dali, and borrowing money rashly will only make him suspicious of me, so asking him to borrow money must be a bad idea.

If Director Ma didn’t invest and do business in other places, he should have some spare cash on hand, but after experiencing the unhappiness with Tetsuo, I don’t dare to ask him to borrow it, because people’s hearts can’t be tested, let alone this is not the case. test.

Sighing heavily, I moved the big suitcase I brought from Shanghai out of the locker. I rummaged through it, and finally found a dusty SLR camera...

For a while, I was obsessed with photography, so on my birthday the year before last, Lu Jia gave me this camera. The market price is more than 8000, which is almost two months' salary of Lu Jia.

After I bought the camera, I used it only a handful of times, so it is still [-]% new, but there are about [-] or [-] photos in it, the photos I took for Lu Jia.

After charging the battery, I turned on the camera with a feeling of discomfort... The first photo was a swimsuit photo I took for her on the beach when we traveled to Qingdao last year. When I recall it now, it seems like it happened yesterday. like a dream.

I can't see her smiling face, and I can't hold the weight of this camera... so I feel very painful, everything I can feel at this moment.

Taking a deep puff on my cigarette, I started deleting the first photo from my camera...

Finally, there is only the last one left, and it is the only one in it, a photo of me and Lu Jia, it was in the Humble Administrator’s Garden in Suzhou, it was snowing, I held Lu Jia’s hand, and asked a passer-by to take a photo for us... …

Looking at it now, she might have been the most beautiful at that time... But I had to say goodbye to her, and even the thoughts about her in my mind, it was time to say goodbye.

My fingers trembled, and I pressed the delete button, as if deleting the longest memory, which contained both happiness and pain, as well as the best youthful time and love...

I raised my head, exhaled the smoke from my mouth, indulged in it for a while, and held the cup of hot tea in my hand again, it was much colder than before... Then, I sent a message on Douban to transfer the camera, and I finally Only quoted a price of [-].

I'm so empty, it's like I sold my youth and the past few years in Shanghai...

……

There are many photographers in Dali, and there are also many people who know the goods, so just in the morning, four or five people from the same city made an appointment with me to look at the camera, and finally sold it to a buddy who opened a photography studio. Asked for cash, but was very conflicted, I don't know why I did this.

I have always held the cash in my hand; when I close my eyes, there is also a sense of frustration, as if I can't keep the people and things around me... So, I want to get more, this This feeling is very expansive, but also very subtle... Probably, only those who have really experienced it will understand!

When I opened my eyes again, the sun was very, very dazzling... I squinted my eyes halfway, and while touching the cigarette, I took out the mobile phone from my pants pocket.

The phone vibrated for a while before I was sure that someone called me...

I woke up instantly, thinking it was Cao Xue's message, but it turned out to be a very unfamiliar number, and the attribution showed LS.

I connected, and Director Ma's voice came from inside: "It's me, this is my new number here, please write it down."

"to make."

"Listening to your voice, it seems that you are not in a good state?"

I pressed my temples, and replied: "I drank too much last night, and I haven't recovered yet... If you're okay, I'll hang up first."

"If something happens, don't hang up."

"Say it."

Director Ma was silent for a while, and then asked, "Did you run into trouble recently?"

"It's not a big deal if we met."

"Lack of money?"

I was stunned for a moment. Director Ma has never been a person who likes to go around the corner. He asked this, probably because he heard something...

During my short silence, he said again: "The money that was distributed from the inn before, I haven't moved much here... You can send me an account later, and I will send you tens of thousands of dollars... I know, you are not a character who likes to trouble others, but you have to remember... When you have difficulties, my buddies will carry them with you. "

There was an indescribable feeling in my heart, and then a burst of warmth, I smiled and said to him: "I'm fine here, don't worry."

"You don't think of me as a brother?"

"It's nothing... If you had called me two hours earlier, I would have had to get some money from you, but now the money has been collected." After a short pause, I said again: "In the future If I'm really short of money, I won't be embarrassed to talk to you."

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with you?"

"determine."

"That's fine, I won't say more."

……

After finishing the call with Director Ma, I feel much more comfortable, and I really need this kind of support in my life. If it is all the unhappiness like last night, it will undoubtedly make people's hearts very dark.

I pressed the button to extinguish the cigarette in my hand, and then opened Weibo on my mobile phone. There were already seven or eight guests who sent me private messages asking to book a room... I didn't accept it, but I didn't completely reject it, because of the current situation It's not clear yet...

I am very anxious. Although I really want to hold off these inquiring guests, the Dali Chinese New Year market has made them very nervous. If I don’t get a positive answer from my side, they will definitely go to other places for inquiries... ...that, to me, is loss.

I really can't afford it!

……

At noon, Ye Zhi sent me a message of concern, and I told her in detail the process and results of my communication with Cao Xue last night; she didn't make any comments, but just asked how confident I was.

I said, eighty percent.

She said that this thing can basically be done.

I asked her, what is the basis?
She replied that she has confidence in me.

……

In the afternoon, Dai Qiang, who was in Shanghai, also sent me a message, which was still good news. He told me that the manager of their recreation department had been promoted and was now the deputy general manager of the entire hotel, so he also With the rise of the tide, I became the assistant to the deputy general manager, and my salary has also risen to another level, which is about 2000 yuan more than before, and benefits such as travel subsidies have also increased appropriately.

I did the math, and his current salary is almost the same as when I was in Shanghai. I spent four years on it, but he only spent a few months.

If, for us foreigners, Shanghai is a lost paradise...then it is a bunch of feathers guided by light.

He has chosen the right career and the right employment platform... I think, with such a good opportunity, he will probably have an easier life than when I was in Shanghai. He is my cousin, so A great prospect and I'd certainly be happy for him!
……

In a blink of an eye, it was already night; I was ready for the sincerity gold, but I didn't wait for the news from Cao Xue... This is just a matter of communication. Although Cao Xue asked me to wait for him for two days, I think that as long as there is no When encountering difficulties, this matter can be done by opening your mouth, and he hasn't come until now, which can only mean that something went wrong.

I was impatient and anxious.

At about ten o'clock, there was a sound of a motorcycle outside the alley, and after it stopped, Cao Xiaobei led, and several other people wore helmets and held things like baseball bats, and followed behind him.

After meeting me face to face, Cao Xiaobei said to me with a cold face: "Our business is not over yet. I, Cao Xiaobei, am a man of my word. Today I am here to smash your house."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to the people behind him: "Brothers, let me go in and smash everything that can be smashed... If there is anything, I, Cao Xiaobei, will take care of it."
