Chapter 8 The Morning Market in the Town

Qingyuan had no dreams last night, woke up early in the morning, moved away from Ah Shui's side, got out of bed, walked to the window, opened a corner of the curtain, and carefully looked at the appearance outside.

The sun has just leaped up from behind the hill in the distance, it looks round and big, but the light is not too dazzling.The mulberry tree outside the courtyard wall, Ah Shui said, grew from the mulberries that fell from the mouth of the gray magpie in the air. Looking at it, there are many branches, the bark is yellow, and the leaves are just covered with sunlight. The surface is shiny, and the breeze caresses it gently. , It seems that the leaves of the full tree will be shining by themselves.At this time, the surface of the pond is also sparkling.Ah Shui told Qingyuan yesterday that there is a peach forest behind the small bamboo forest around the courtyard, but it has not been taken care of for a long time. Although it still blooms and bears fruit every year, most of them are sent to bugs and birds, and occasionally enter this place. I met a person in a mountain, took off his jacket, and took a big bag back.

You can still see the traces of the peach pits left by the rotted peaches at the bottom of the tree.

Qing Yuan sighed against the window glass.Ah Shui also woke up at this moment, she turned off the air-conditioning, got up and walked to Qing Yuan, opened the curtains, half the glass windows, and stood side by side with Qing Yuan, watching the scenery outside the window.

They smelled that the air in the mountains in the morning was a bit damp and cool, but it was very fresh, and they saw that the rays of light emanating from behind the small hill not far away from the sun became more dazzling and brighter.

Qingyuan and Ah Shui simply ate breakfast, got in the car and set off again.Ah Shui said that he would take Qingyuan to the morning market in this small town.

Sitting in the car, Qingyuan and Ah Shui walked through the section of road they walked yesterday. Qingyuan took a closer look at the appearance of both sides of the cement road.She saw dense forests and bamboo forests, and there were vaguely houses behind them, and occasionally heard dogs barking, cocks crowing, and cows howling.She passed the small open-air white mud drying yard at the foot of the hillside that she saw yesterday, and saw a row of workshops with cement walls. The walls were neatly covered with big blue characters, which were advertisements for a certain brand of home appliances.Then there are still cornfields next to cornfields, and occasionally a small vegetable garden.At the intersection, there are three-story buildings on both sides of the road. The buildings are of the same style. The top two floors protrude outward like the big belly of a person with a beer belly. Only the color of the walls and the shape of the windows are different. It's different; some have erected a wooden board by the side of the road, with the words "purchasing grain" written in chalk on it.

When Ah Shui drove through them, the swallows perched on the electric poles beside the road and the pigeons raised by the nearby people flew around for a while, gray, white, and black, which was very interesting.

As soon as Qingyuan and Ah Shui arrived in the town, they turned off the ignition, got out of the car and walked.Although they were rushing to the morning market, the local people went earlier and it was a rest day. Looking at the intersection in the center of the street from a distance, the crowd was one by one.Qingyuan walked forward beside Ah Shui.She first smelled the strong smell of food.The street trees on both sides of the street are very thin, as if they were newly planted not long ago. There is a green trash can placed at a distance under the tree. There are small restaurants near the overflowing trash can, and they mainly sell breakfast.There are words on the signboards of several private restaurants that undertake ordinary banquets.There are many small stalls on the side of the road, fruit stalls, dry goods and snacks stalls, shoe sellers and clothes sellers, and even fortune tellers and tooth extraction... Some are placed very close to the gate of the post office, and the loudspeaker is constantly There was a burst of pre-recorded cries.There is only one larger Wanrunfa supermarket on the whole street.

Qingyuan also saw a beautifully dressed young woman with Korean-style eyebrow tattoos, wearing a disposable mask, walking past them inadvertently, holding a child in her arms who was looking around with wide-eyed eyes.Qingyuan saw many pairs of young men and women with one or two young children.Most of them are middle-aged, local residents of different heights, with black or white skin; Wearing a pair of sunglasses, he walked from one small stall to another, asking the price casually, but he was not in a hurry to buy it right away... Some of them were white and fat women with heavy makeup on their faces, looking at them in the sun. When I wake up, my forehead and nose are a little greasy.Qing Yuan turned his head to look at Ah Shui beside him, Ah Shui pulled up his hair high behind his head, the skin around the neck and collarbone where the cock came out was delicate and clean, glowing white in the sun.She felt a little sweat on her forehead, and saw that a thin layer of sweat was also seeping near the bridge of Ah Shui's nose, so she casually took out the handkerchief in her bag.They did not wear sunhats, but brought a parasol.

Ah Shui opened the umbrella and held Qing Yuan's hand, bringing her closer to him.

On the other hand, they are also going to the local farmers market.

"The people take food as their heaven."

A small half of the farmer's market is open-air, and the rest of the place is like a pergola with a high metal roof to set up several sales areas.The first thing Qingyuan saw was still various small stalls selling food, and behind them was the clothing, shoes and hats area.A lot of fresh clothes of different colors and repeated styles were hung on hangers made of long bamboo poles tied together. Both sides of a long passage were like this. The outside light was blocked, and the top of the head was sealed with iron sheets. It gave Qingyuan a feeling of walking through a tunnel, but in fact, the details of the clothes were not clear at all.

A passer-by walked past Qingyuan with large and small plastic bags in his hand, and bumped into Qingyuan. Ah Shui stretched out his arms to hug her, and took her to a place where there were few people.

Qingyuan and the others went to the food section and bought some locally grown vegetables, lotus pods, and fresh corn cobs suitable for cooking.Qingyuan told Ah Shui that her grandparents lived in a small county town, and she used to go to them every year for festivals.There is a land of fish and rice, and there are endless lotus pods and water chestnuts every year.Once she was running along a path among rice fields and inadvertently stepped over a water snake, thinking about it later gave her a huge shock.

The flow of people was still rushing in, but Ah Shui and the others were already preparing to go back.

The sun is rising higher and higher, and the noise in my ears is getting louder and louder. It is not suitable to stay in the market for a long time.

As soon as Ah Shui put the things in his hand into the car, he turned to look at Qingyuan, but saw her looking back.She was looking at a small circle of mostly children.Ah Shui knew that there might be something "rare" in that small circle, so she walked back with Qing Yuan for a short distance.

They saw a mother and daughter in the center of the small circle, apparently homeless, with uncoordinated clothes that looked obviously old and unclean.Ah Shui looked at the little girl intently, and saw that she had short hair, round and big eyes, her face was obviously good, but there were many stains on her skin, her fingernails were long, and there was dust in the crevices of her nails; After eating the snacks handed to her by the children around her in her arms one bite at a time, she looked satisfied, hooked a thin street tree beside her with one hand, and circled around it like that; Turning around and around, sometimes looking at the people around, seeing that they were still there, they still stared at her, so she seemed to be praised, turning around in circles for a long time .

Qingyuan took out some small change from the wallet and gave all of it to the child's mother. After that, Ah Shui took her hand and pulled her away.

Ah Shui asked Qing Yuan in the car what he was thinking when he saw the child just now.

"I was thinking that her tomorrow is uncertain, and she may have to take many detours, but in that short period of time, she was the happiest among dozens of people around her."

"That's not what I thought. I thought that she doesn't understand anything now, and one day she suddenly understands, and finds that she is still a wanderer, with no knowledge, no friends, and no role models. That should be a dying state of mind .Assuming that is what she is extremely unwilling to do, and she has no choice, just like a high-level code, which cannot get suitable memory and enough operating power to release itself, but forcibly uses insufficient resources to decompress itself, and finally The sky is full of fireworks, and the moment it shines, it will quickly fall."

"You put yourself into her."

"Yes. That's what a person with a tendency to depression would think."
