Peacock

Chapter 50

After we got out of the car, I was forced to review an ancient poem: The leak in the house happens to rain all night.

When I stepped out of the high-speed rail, the girl on the opposite side didn't stop the car, so the soy milk in my hand splashed on my stomach, and then the thick liquid gradually fell down, even staining my crotch mottled; Ling thought it was funny, and threw the bag to me, and asked me to put Bao Shun in front to cover up those traces that could easily cause ambiguity, but he turned his head to ask for the ticket, leaving me standing alone at the door, and a big brother saw me He thought that I was already ready to take the ride, and he half-pushed and half-deceived me to take his motorcycle.

Later, Tangling didn't find me in the station, so she chased me to the yard and arrested me.

Tang Ling said that I was an idiot, and I could follow after listening to a few words.

I was a little wronged, but in the end I decided to tolerate the bad-tempered Tang Ling. The way to get along with friends is not to be penny-pinching.

"How long is our car?"

Tang Ling hugged her elbows and lowered her eyes, then grabbed my straps and carried me to the display board at the ticket booth, and then I felt bad luck.

The inexplicable weather changes caused Chaoshan to experience a heavy rain last week even in June. A landslide blocked the road back to the county, and traffic control was temporarily imposed for five days to repair it.I did the math, and that meant our tickets to go home would have to wait until the morning after tomorrow at the earliest.

Just now, the elder brother's words rang in my mind again, and I tugged on Tang Ling's sleeve: "Are you in a hurry?"

Tang Ling glanced at me, and I said again: "How about going back by motorcycle?"

After that, I thought about that scene, and no matter how I thought about it, I felt like an Indian picking a train.

"Don't die?"

"It's fucking gone," I said. "I even sat in your back seat."

Tangling pinched my arm.

It only took us five seconds to decide where we were going as I opened my mouth to complain that I was so hungry.

The town where the Chaoshan high-speed railway came down is called Shaxi, and Tang Ling took me here to experience the Chaoshan beef hot pot that Hai Zhan repeatedly talked about.

However, unfortunately, my tongue was blistered by the beef balls as soon as I came in, and I tasted everything afterwards, only to feel that the numbness prevailed.

I had no choice but to stand on the lemonade and start staring at the orange-brown sand tea sauce in a daze. The dense wet smoke swaggered in front of my eyes, but even just looking at it like this made me feel my tongue hurt reflexively.

Tangling glanced at me, as if beckoning to the waiter again.

Soon, the waiter just turned around for half a circle and returned to our table with a celadon plate, and then put the dishes on my hands in front of my chopsticks.

There are a few gray shrimps on the plate, and each one is restlessly lying in the sauce.

The reason why I use the word restless is mainly because I saw the tails of those shrimps still flicking slowly, and occasionally patted the celadon plate irritably.

"Why is this shrimp still moving?" I thought for a while, "Is it also a flashback?"

"It was meant to be alive."

I felt the chill rushing all over my body, and I could only look at Tang Ling in blank dismay.

"It's so desperate." I said bluntly, "Tang Ling, you will be prosecuted if you are sent abroad. Do you understand animal protection?"

Tang Ling closed her eyes and pretended not to hear.

I don’t know if I was tricked into tying up some information leakage package when I bought the number. These days, my new mobile phone is really ringing anytime and anywhere. 100% of it is all kinds of advertisements, insurance calls and hair removal. !Now I'm tying my shoelaces, when I hear my phone start rattling on the table again.

I asked Tang Ling to hang up for me a little annoyed, the noise stopped in time, but when I looked up, I found Tang Ling was staring at the screen of my phone.

That's when I realized my lock screen wallpaper was him.

In fact, it was nothing at all, but it inevitably seemed that I was a little sloppy, so I could only pretend to be indifferent: "I casually looked through your aunt's circle of friends and saw it."

Tang Ling held her chin, and nodded deliberately: "Does it hurt to turn your hand?"

I know he is laughing at me again, because his aunt is not only keen to share daily life, but also advertises the three-no mask in the circle of friends, and has to post ten or so messages a day, and this circle of friends is already four years ago that's it.

At that time, Tang Ling's hair was still black and smooth, she was wearing black sleeveless, and she was just shirtless and driving the big golden cup that his uncle used to buy goods. The sunflower car stereo next to him seemed to be shaking happily.

There are always few people on the national highway during non-holidays, it seems that everyone can go for a run.In the photo, Tangling was holding the steering wheel with one hand, and the other thin white hand was resting on the window sill, which looked like a skeleton when exposed to sunlight, with a cigarette embedded in his finger.

It is set as a screensaver because my brother Xiaotang looks so awesome. Although I think he seems to be subconsciously pretending since he was a child, but you have to lament how handsome this pretending is!If he is a human trafficker and wants to transport me away like this, I will recognize it, although the brother in this photo is actually the same age as me now.

I also looked at the photo again with him, and my eyes were only on the cigarette in his hand.It took me a while to realize: "Are you eighteen or nineteen?"

Tang Ling explained: "My uncle said that driving in the morning makes me sleepy, so he gave me one."

"Smoking a cigarette will stop you from being sleepy?"

"Half root." Tang Ling emphasized.

Then he showed me the comical situation in which the wind caused by reaching out the window to dust off the remaining half of your stick.

Tang Ling thought for a while: "And the smell in the car is not as good as the smell of cigarettes."

"What else is there, the smell of leather?"

"There are half a cow in the back row that was just killed."

I feel like I'm going to throw up.

There's science to killing time, but it's also pretty simple if you just want to get started.

In the afternoon, we took the bus from the high-speed rail station to Chaozhou City, and then confusedly switched to the line in the city. We just ran around the city for a long time, and enjoyed the Xiangzi Bridge floating on the yellow water from the glass window. And layers of old archways.

After the sky was dark, we wanted to find a hotel, so we came out of the platform. We didn’t take two steps to see the scattered night market on the bank of the river. I don’t know what the theme activity is. It seems to be related to the school next to it. There are some small shops for entertainment and competitions.

It may be because I was always alone before, so I seem to be particularly keen to join in the fun now.It was a very sudden idea, I urged Tang Ling to bury it in the crowd.

Before our feet had passed the first shop, a big sister came up to stop us and let us go to play hoops.When I saw all kinds of gadgets lined up at intervals, I still couldn’t understand the working principle of this game. It wasn’t until I witnessed the whole process of a middle school boy with his little girlfriend on a night trip from getting started to giving up that I got a little bit of insight .

I picked my bag strap on my chest: "Do you win this game only if you dodge those toys and throw the hoop into the gap?"

Tang Ling didn't answer, but turned sideways and asked the elder sister to ask for ten circles, then retreated behind the white line and calmly threw the fluorescent plastic circles into the field.

I heard the big sister's cheers gradually decrease from the enthusiasm at the beginning.

I was fascinated, Tang Ling suddenly turned around and asked me what I like, in fact, we men are not very interested in these little things, but when I saw the middle school couple next to me who was staring at the little yellow dog doll, I got angry heart, so he pointed and said I want that.

It only failed one more time, and Tangling's green ring soon wobbled around the little yellow dog's neck. At that moment, the big sister's cheers subsided into silence.

Tangling grabbed me up again who was in a daze, and put the remaining four rings into my hands.

"Try it."

Just try it, I stand on the white line with concentration, recalling the posture of Tangling throwing the circle, and my body keeps leaning forward to estimate the trajectory of the parabola, although I almost grabbed the ground with my head because of the large range.

Sure enough, there is reincarnation in the law of heaven. I bullied the middle school sweetheart like that just now, so now I end up in the same tragic end as that little boy who can't play cool in front of his girlfriend.I don't know who I am competing with. After throwing four circles, I bought ten more, but I still got nothing.

Compared to my madness, Tang Ling seemed much calmer. He sat at the small wooden table behind with the small gift he had settled, and unwrapped it with his eyes downcast.Most of his hands are stationery and small dolls, the colorful ones are more like things that girls like. After peeling off the plastic paper one by one, he will hold them up to see what cartoon characters are printed on the packaging. The eyes are crooked with a smile.

At this moment, I finally feel the same as that little boy just now. Is it wrong for his sister to like small toys?It's our incompetent old men who are at fault.

So I ran next door and fired again.

I have to say that people have their own strengths, and I am much better at shooting, but I can't be sure if Tang Ling saw such a heroic scene, because when I carried the small gift back on the table, he He also asked me if I bought it with money.

On the way back, I passed a small street stall. There were some conch shells on the stretched woven bags. Some of them aroused my interest because they were too long.I went up to ask, and actually heard that the stall owner said that these were fished on an unknown island called Baima.

Suddenly feeling a little nostalgic, I picked the most unconventional one, and the stall owner said it was called the pink thousand-handed snail.

I peeked through the streetlight for a while, and then bowed my head to try to hear if there was any echo in the conch, but I only heard the muffled version of the noise of the night market.

Unable to contain the disappointment, I lost interest and threw the pink conch on the table, rolling between the two bear keychains and a tri-color water gun I just brought back.

Tang Ling played with the conch shell for a while, and then, as if remembering something, she brought the little yellow dog doll to me.

Tang Ling patted it on the head, so it also barked twice in a slow manner.

No wonder this thing is so small but can monopolize the last row as the ultimate gift, feeling that this is an electronic dog.

I was exclamating when I heard the dog repeating my words in a childish electronic voice.

"Stop learning!"

The dog stomped its feet and said sharply, "Don't learn!"

Originally, I was so anxious that I still wanted to argue with it, but when I thought of the futile scene afterwards, the words slipped to my lips and I swallowed them back fiercely. In the end, I just gave it a look and buried my head in my arms.

"Yu Zhen, your voices are exactly the same."

I said in a low voice, "Where is there?"

"Don't believe me?" Tang Ling asked, resting her chin, "Call out too, let's see."

I barked suspiciously, and waited for the little yellow dog to repeat it with its electric voice.This comparison proved my point even more, I frowned and seriously retorted: "It's obviously not the same."

Tang Ling coped with it and said it wasn't right, and when I reacted to the depressed complaints that I was being punished, I was satisfied and cut off the little yellow dog's power supply.

It wasn't until the elder sister with a red apron came to our table that I realized that the table on the side of the road is really not allowed to sit randomly. After all, other shopkeepers rushed to ask you what you want, and you can't just stand up. Just say a shameless "I will just pass on the Quan family to sit on the street".

So I ordered the most common porridge with preserved vegetables and eggs. Later, I didn't resist the boss's blind incitement, and then served a plate of grilled shellfish, followed by cold beer that the boss threw on the table.

Seeing that she was going to open two bottles in a row, I quickly stopped and said, "He has a bad stomach, just open one bottle."

The boss put down the bottle opener, looked at Tangling, and said inexplicably, "This handsome guy looks like he can drink."

I said that people should not be judged by their appearance, he can't drink much.

The boss didn't believe in evil, and asked Tang Ling what he usually drinks.

Tang Ling was still studying conch shells, but when she was asked, she raised her head in a daze, and said that she should mix one-to-one pure raw juices.

The boss laughed and said, isn't it the taste of a little girl?

And in order to prove that I am not a little girl, but an iron man, I boldly pushed away the small glass handed by the boss, and poured beer into my stomach while holding the bottle neck.

I couldn't bear the bitterness at first, and felt that my whole face was wrinkled together, but before I gave up, I heard the boss next to me screaming, so I had to bite the bullet and downed a whole bottle. This time even Tangling cast a surprised look at me.

I smashed the bottle back in front of Tang Ling, causing the thin wooden board to shake wildly.I buried my head in the beer bubbles that were scurrying across my chest, and when I felt better, I immediately approached Tangling and said, Brother Yu.

Tangling smiled and lifted my heavy chin with the handle of the chopsticks.

It's just the time Tangling drank the porridge slowly, and I feel like the alcohol is getting better.I found that I put the water gun I just won on my back, and stood up beside Tang Ling like a guard on duty in World War II.

"Yu Zhen, what are you doing?"

I blurted out: "Protect you."

"Just don't spit on me."

I pursed my mouth, Tangling said I looked like a duck, I quacked, and he said I could quack.

This dialogue suddenly reminded me of the pulp fiction I was taught in high school, and I was instantly sexual.First, I leaned over and held Tang Ling's face, almost touching the tip of my nose, and said I was going to rob this stall.

Tang Ling didn't hide, raised her eyebrows and said, "Remember to run fast."

I kissed his mouth violently, and let out a sweet "boo" sound.

As soon as I slapped the table, I wanted to step on the stool directly, but I felt that it seemed unethical during the process of lifting my leg, so I had to use the rest of my strength to chop off my foot. Then I held the water gun high and sprayed three times in the sky. Shouting on the river bank: "Everybody, be cool! This is a rubbery!"

In retrospect I can only be thankful that everyone's poor understanding of English kept me from being arrested.

When I yelled out a word, the whole night market fell silent for a few seconds.Using my dim eyesight, I noticed that there seemed to be people coming towards us from all around. I realized that someone might have called the police, so the sense of professional honor of a robber suddenly rose, so I grabbed Tang Ling rushed through the crowd and ran out.

Tangling didn't make any money, and just ran forward with me. In the end, I was so tired that my breath was rushing around in my abdomen, and the pain made me stop on the spot to rest.

I supported my knees first to pant, but when I straightened my waist, I lost my balance, so I threw Tang Ling into the grass with reeds on the side.The tip of the nose is filled with the smell of green grass, and some of the moisture is stored in the mud, slowly soaking our clothes.

Probably because of my instinct, I didn't get up immediately, but put the coma on his shoulder for a while before getting up.

The wind came around warmly, and those thin reeds fell on him, so I began to vaguely think that if I could be a reed in my next life, it would be great, no, or it would be the wind, where is the moon?The moon can stick to him even more.

As soon as the cold wind blew, I let go of my obsession with being a robber a little bit, but restrained myself and raised my head to look at the moon.Tang Ling was right next to me, with his body half up. He didn't look up, as if he was looking at the moon in the turbulent river.

After a while I smelled something sweet, turned around and saw Tang Ling biting a silver electronic cigarette, a lot of water mist drifted from his lips, I stared at him obsessively for a while, he asked me why I was so old Staring at him, I said that you are like the princess of the Journey to the West I watched when I was a child, and she will also have this kind of white smoke when she appears on the stage.

I drunkenly scratched those wet mist: "Why smoke this."

"My uncle bought it."

"Is it easy to smoke?"

"no feelings."

"It smells like cake." I wrinkled my nose, "Where's the smoke?"

Tang Ling looked at me quietly for a while, then beckoned to me.

"come over."

I didn't speak or move anything.

"So timid?"

Tang Ling leaned over and laughed, grabbed my collar and pulled me into his arms, but when he was about to press me into his chest, he relaxed for a moment, then passed my back spoon with his big palm, and his warm lips covered my on my mouth.I trembled and couldn't open my teeth, so he pressed his thumb into the corner of my lips, and opened the top of my lower teeth ambiguously. Before I could recover, the rapid mist squeezed into my mouth The mouth is continuously filling this small space.

It was like a pity. After the separation, I kept holding back the smoke and didn't spit it out. I even stubbornly forced myself into a suffocating situation. In the end, my physical reaction made me open my lips, so I was so disappointed. Concentrated, watching the wisps of mist come out from the gap between my lips, drifting curlingly across the tip of my nose, past my eyelashes, and then scattered into the disorderly night wind.

The feeling of top-heavy became more and more intense, and I began to feel that I was about to float away with the white mist.

My hand gently covered the back of Tang Ling's hand, and I squeezed his wrist insecurely.In fact, I don't really know what I want to say, I only have a heart full of wanting to prove myself, I said Tang Ling to him, I think I understand.

Tang Ling asked me what I understood.

"Actually, we just met at that time. Didn't you ask me, Xingxing Bay, if it wasn't for you, would I go with someone else?" I said seriously, and also pulled the corners of my mouth into a relaxed arc. , "I think I will."

Tang Ling smiled heartlessly: "Do you know that you smile fakely when you say such things?"

"I did not think."

"Do you remember what the boss said to you when you were drinking?"

I was stunned by this abrupt question: "Anyway, it's about drinking more, how would I know?"

"But everything I said," Tang Ling glanced at me condescendingly, "don't you remember everything clearly?"

I yelled in embarrassment: "You must remember this kind of words!"

Tang Ling's eyes darkened: "I forgot."

I was so anxious that my head was dazed, and I reached out my hand to cover his eyes with a strong sense of evasion, not wanting to experience that gaze again.There was a wave of soreness in my heart, and I opened my mouth with some difficulty: "You think I am young, you think I have many new summers to wait, and you think I am troublesome to push me away."

"But who told you to show up in the free country that day? Why don't you fucking understand, the day I met you, my summer was fucking gone, the future summer won't come, and the previous summer won't come It's all over."

"Don't you feel pain? Others tie everything to you. But I am also in pain. I can't suffer alone. Tang Ling, let me torment. I will be responsible for all the consequences. Wherever I go, I will do whatever I want." .”

Tang Ling pinched my knuckles, her tone became extremely gentle, as if she was trying to appease an out-of-control beast: "You say, I will do whatever you want me to do."

I found this very funny. His understanding of feelings is no different from paying off debts, just like what I said he can really do, but don't promise things that can't be realized easily.

I clenched my molars and stroked the side of his face, that beautiful face was soaked into a hideous look.I really felt that it was difficult to bear more, so I just turned my body back freely, buried my whole face in my knees, and my words were also unclear and fragmented.

"I want you to say you love me..."

I just said it casually, and I didn't want to hear any answers, so at that time, I just nervously stuffed my left ear into the pink conch, because I thought that compared to Tang Ling's silence, I might still I want to hear the waves of Pema even more.

But even before I finished the whole sentence, I felt the conch being gently pulled away, and my hearing escaped lightly from the suffocation in an instant, and then I heard Tang Ling whisper something in my ear talk.

"I love you."
