I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 375 Brother, Be Brave
When the courier brother and I asked to look at the photo frame, I regretted it first... This is a dream I imagined. The dream is full of expectations and longings. If I choose to puncture at this moment, then I Where else can I put my expectations and longings? ... I know that she is just a woman whose back looks very similar to Ye Zhi, and I am a man living by fantasy in this back, so why do I have to look at her face and prove that she is not Ye Zhi?

I looked at the reluctant courier brother, smiled again, and said, "I know you are racing against time, if you are busy, forget it."

The woman's landlord took the conversation, and he said to me: "Don't look at that photo, it's her senior sister, not her... Tell me, what's the name of your unreachable friend, I have the address and contact information she gave here, let's check it out, so we can figure it out."

When I look at this back figure in my heart, I have always been conflicted, so sometimes I really want to know the answer, and sometimes I am afraid that the illusion we have painstakingly woven will be shattered by my curiosity. At this time, I am the most conflicted, because this time there is an external force. intervened.

The landlord is waiting for my answer.

The courier brother is not in a hurry to get busy, it seems that two people with a particularly boring life insist on listening to a story with me to make this evening seem not so ordinary, but facing these two strangers, I don’t care. Know how to speak.

Finally, I smiled and said to the landlord: "I told you, don't be angry. Actually, I know that the woman who lived with you is not the same as the one I'm looking for...they just look very similar...I'm too old I want to see that friend of mine, so some time ago, when you, the tenant, hadn’t moved out, I would come over to take a look when I had some free time, just to see her back...how should I put it?...it’s like a special Desperate people, the reason why they are still alive is because there is still a little faith in their hearts... I regard this back as a belief...it cannot be broken!"

"Brother, aren't you making up stories with us... Now that the information is so advanced, is there anyone who can't be found?... Unless, she has the intention to avoid you, but if she already has the intention to avoid you, then you Why make things difficult for others?"

My heart sank, I subconsciously took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, and then replied in a low voice: "She is my girlfriend, and she encountered a shipwreck accident in Phuket, Thailand more than two months ago... She's not coming back, I know that."

The landlord showed sympathy, and didn't know what to say to me for a while.

The feeling of opening the wound for others to see is really uncomfortable, so after I finished speaking, I turned and left.

"Brother, don't rush away, listen to me."

I stopped and looked at him.

The landlord walked up to me and asked me unexpectedly: "Is your girlfriend Ye Zhi?"

My heart seemed to jump out of my throat, he wouldn't know Ye Zhi's name for no reason, maybe the miracle was in his mouth.

The landlord seemed to see through my thoughts. After hesitating for a moment, he said to me: "I have a friend who is working as a supervisor in the project of Cangshan Yishu. This project was later taken over by Binjiang Group in Shanghai. Your girlfriend is Binjiang. The youngest person in charge of the group, it is because of this relationship that I know her name is Ye Zhi..."

After a short pause, he continued: "Binjiang Group has invested in two large projects in Dali, which have driven many people here to find employment, and they are already very influential...so their person in charge had an accident in Thailand, and people in the circle Impossible not to pass on."

This kind of explanation made my heart sink instantly... I wanted to speak several times, but I was overwhelmed by the disappointment. I knew that I couldn't get the answer I wanted from him, so No matter how much you say, it's just futile.

The landlord first patted me on the shoulder, then shook his head and said to me: "Brother, I know you are an affectionate person...but...uh...I still have to tell you...my tenant and her are not... "

I interrupted: "Don't talk about it...let me think about it."

"Even if this kind of thinking is left to you... What's the use of it?...Brother, be brave, the longer you keep this kind of thinking, the more you will be unable to get out... You can't be like this for the rest of your life, can you? "

I don't speak, I don't want to be pierced by a stranger just like that, it's his mouth that brought me the disaster... I won't find another such similar figure up.

The landlord said to me again: "If you are not busy, let's take a walk on Renmin Road, and I will take you to meet someone, which may give you some enlightenment."

……

I don't know what kind of mood I am in. I went to Renmin Road with this landlord I met for the first time. I only know that he wants to help me... In Dali, there are many enthusiastic people like him. Really helpful, sometimes just idle.

Standing in the crowd, he pointed to a beggar sitting in the middle of the road and said to me: "Have you noticed him before?... He is not an ordinary tramp. Many old Dali people know him."

I followed the direction of his fingers, and I seemed to have a little impression of this beggar. To be precise, he is not a beggar, because he never takes the initiative to ask others for alms... There is also one thing that is obviously different from other beggars. His side He followed a lot of stray dogs, all of them should be adopted by him. If someone gave him something to eat, he would eat it himself and give it to the dogs; if he was given money, he would fold it neatly and hold it in his hand.

The landlord is right, he is not a beggar, more like a tramp.

The landlord handed me a cigarette, lit it for me very politely, and said: "A few years ago, there was no cableway built in Cangshan Mountain, and tourists went up the mountain by horses and camels. He is a groom... probably It was eight years ago, it was raining heavily on Cangshan Mountain, and his pregnant wife went up the mountain to give him a raincoat..."

The landlord sighed heavily: "The road on the mountain was slippery, and his wife accidentally fell down the steps... In the end, neither the adults nor the children could survive... Can you say that his wife was reckless?... Definitely reckless... But really can't Said, if it weren't for the fact that we are dependent on each other, how can we let a woman give him a raincoat with a big belly?"

"Yes."

The landlord took a deep puff on his cigarette, then narrowed his eyes and said, "From then on, he stopped being a groom, he sold the horse... and then built a thatched cottage next to his wife's grave. Years. His father died early, and there was only one mother left in the family. His mother felt uncomfortable seeing him like this, and died of depression not long after. He just went down the mountain... But the whole person's spirit is no longer good. After finishing his fucking affairs, he will be like this now... I live with these stray dogs every day, and sleep in bridge holes at night. I have been in the ancient city for so many years, and no one has heard him speak again ...I think he feels guilty... Even if he is really crazy, he will be able to remember the past for a while... At this time, how does he feel?..."

After pondering for a long time, I replied: "I will regret it... For the sake of a loved one, I lost another loved one."

After I said this, another tourist handed him some change, and he took it without saying thank you. After he folded the money neatly, he looked at the dogs dumbly... A gust of wind stirred up dust from him. Blowing around, he seemed to be petrified.
