Chapter 308: See you again
My conversation with Mi Cai continued. A thunder suddenly broke out in the sky, which scared Mi Cai on the other end of the phone to stop speaking. After a while, he said to me: "Zhaoyang, you are thundering, don't answer the phone. Let's just talk here."
"Wait, don't rush to hang up the phone."
"What's wrong?"
"Do you remember that you promised me that we would get married after I achieved a small career? ... I have already thought about it. With the first child, let him and your surname Mi can be considered as a comfort to your father."
Mi Cai asked in surprise: "Why did you suddenly mention this matter? Even your future marriage life has been planned."
"The most fear of love affairs is that there are many dreams. I don't want any accidents like Robben to happen between us, so hurry up and find an ending for the relationship, even if it is artificially created."
"Okay, I'll listen to yours."
Mi Cai's answer made me feel relaxed after a day of boring, and finally said to her softly: "Take good care of yourself over there, do your best in your work, and don't force yourself."
Mi Cai answered helplessly, saying: "Everything at work is done in a barely way. If there is no difficulty, it will not be called work."
Her seriousness made me smile, and then said, "Then work hard and overcome difficulties!"
"You also work hard and wait for me to come back."
......
After leaving the restaurant, we returned to the hotel we had just booked, but the rain became heavier and the wind blew through the windows, leaving behind a shrill roar.
Robben stood at the window lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and looked out the night, as if looking for the place called distant...
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, I am trapped here now, and there is nothing to do. Let's talk about your past with Wei Manwen."
Robben vomited the smoke from his mouth heavily onto the transparent glass. He nodded and said to me, "I used to be an introverted person, not very sociable."
"You are still very withdrawn now!"
Robben looked at me and said, "That day our band performed at their Normal University. After the performance, I drank a lot of wine. When I went back, I rode my friend's motorcycle and staggered her!"
"It's so bloody!"
Robben nodded and said, "So she has nothing to do, but I fell and injured."
"And she took you to the hospital?"
Robben shook his head: "At that time, she lived in a teacher's apartment at Normal University. She took me home that day, bandaged me the wound, and kept apologizing to me...I thought she was quite stupid at that time!"
"Is it kind."
"Later we dated, I like to be with her very much. We seem to have endless things to say and prospects for the future. She said that she wanted to be a people's teacher. I said that I want to be a folk singer, so we worked hard while dating until we graduated from college!"
"So you look like a normal person in your dating with her!"
"Yes, so a love that was originally dull became affectionate through the accumulation of time. You will know what happened later. She went to Suzhou for me."
"Then her parents came to you, and you slept with a girl in front of her."
"Actually, I didn't sleep, I just acted like this... These are all fucking not important. What's important is that she left and I stayed alone in Suzhou... No one has ever talked to me anymore for a long time... I just stared at the 150,000 yuan she left for me every day and was stunned."
"She left you 150,000 yuan?"
Robben nodded: "We saved up together to buy a house in Suzhou. Later, when she left, I took out the money and looked at it over and over again every day..."
I suddenly remembered something, and my tone increased a little, and said, "Isn't it you who leave a hundred thousand yuan in the restaurant?"
Robben glanced at me, took a cigarette out of the cigarette box and lit it, and then said, "No, I later decided to use this 150,000 yuan to gamble, so I went to Macau and wanted to win some money to open a bar by myself, or go back to Beijing to buy a house, but I lost all in one night... It was quite painful!"
"You are really gambled with food, drink and bet!"
Robben sighed, but did not smoke the cigarette in his hand anymore. He looked at the night outside the window through the glass again, silent... He seemed really withdrawn, especially today three years after Wei Manwen left.
After a long time, I asked him again: "What are you going to do after seeing her this time? Will you take her back to Suzhou or Beijing?"
Robben asked malfunctionally: "I am a man who has slept with countless women, and I am not worthy of her."
"Then why do you still want to find her?"
"This is an instinct. Do you understand instinct?"
I nodded: "Although you have slept with countless women, you have never betrayed mentally, so..."
Robben frowned and asked, "If a woman you love deeply is sleepy by someone else and tells you that she has never betrayed you in her heart, will you still love her?"
I was suddenly stunned, and then a picture that I would never want to assume appeared in my mind. I saw two bodies on the bed, one of which was not me, but the other was the woman I loved deeply. I was angry and said to Robben with gritted teeth: "I've been fucked by others, I still love it!"
"Yes, there are some things you put yourself in and think about, and it is often the closest answer to the real ones!"
I couldn't refute, so I felt a dullness in my chest, and then I paniced and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box to calm down my mood.
......
After a night of storm, the next morning, the sky finally cleared. After getting up and washing up, I immediately contacted the taxi driver last night and asked him to lead us into the Chonghuo Village located in the deep mountains.
On the way, I kept asking him about the situation in Chonghuo Village, and the answer I got was that he was extremely backward and extremely poor. Then he asked curiously why we went to such a place. I told him that it was a secret. He said, no matter whether I was a secret or not, just pay his 1,000 yuan fee.
So, Le Yao, the most stylish of the four of us, immediately counted out a thousand yuan from his wallet and handed it to him, making him more efficient and quickly solved our affairs.
His efficiency was indeed very high. After entering the mountains, a cart pulled by a donkey was waiting for us. Then he transferred us to the donkey cart, saying that the owner of the donkey cart was a fellow villager in Chonghuo Village.
I was careful and asked the fellow villager: "Membersman, I will ask you first. Is there a woman named Wei Manwen in your village?"
The fellow nodded repeatedly.
"What does she do in your village?"
"Teacher Wei is so good. The children in our village are all learning culture from her."
Le Yao behind me looked at each other. Since he knew Wei Manwen’s information, he must be a person in the village. So he urged: “My fellow villager, hurry up and take us to your village. We are Teacher Wei’s friends and want to see her.”
"Okay, okay, you'll have to walk on the donkey cart for several hours!"
"It's okay, just see it." As I said, I helped Le Yao onto the donkey cart first. Finally, Robben and I sat down on both sides of the cart, one left and one right.
The fellow villager sat in front, raised his whip in his hand, and the donkey walked on the gravel mountain road with a difficult step. The world under the sun became quiet little by little, and finally only the sound of birds and insects in the mountains were heard.
......
The mountain road was really rugged, and the donkey couldn't walk, so we had to get off the bus and walk again. Le Yao was so physically weak that she was sweating profusely, but she was unwilling to delay her journey and insisted on it. However, CC always followed Robben without saying a word.
I finally stopped and said to Le Yao, "I'll carry you."
"I should have done this long ago. I'm almost exhausted and shocked!"
"After all, men and women don't get married, so I'd better restrain myself unless I have to!"
Le Yao muttered softly: "You have been sleeping so much, what are you pretending to be!"
I looked around and sighed in my heart: It's just like this deep mountains and forests that she dared to speak so unrestrainedly. If she was in the real city, she wouldn't dare to express herself so unscrupulously. Therefore, this place of seclusion will indeed give us a lot of freedom that we don't have in normal times.
cc, Robben and the fellow villager were already walking far ahead of us. I squatted down and urged Le Yao, saying, "Come up quickly, let's catch up with them quickly. If you get lost here, it's all."
Le Yao took off her high heels, held them in her hands, and then jumped onto me. After I carried her, I took her and chased them forward.
On the way, Le Yao picked a large leaf and slapped the wind, and sighed: "Zhaoyang, no wonder Wei Manwen chose this place. I have the idea of planning to live a lifetime here. After all, it is so quiet and the wind is still very comfortable!"
"Come on, the fellow villagers here are eager to walk out of this mountain and see what's so exciting outside!"
"So what you can't get is always in agitation!"
"I'm almost exhausted and stupid. I don't have time to hear your feelings..."
"Aren't you just thinking about your gentle hometown in Xitang? How can you understand the majesty and feelings of the mountains... Why don't I sing the eighteen turns of the mountain road to you, and help you to understand the charm of the mountains!"
As Le Yao chattered, the line of vision suddenly became wider, and the confined mountain road finally came to an end. A cool breeze that made people feel comfortable suddenly blew towards us. The green terraces in the field of vision seemed mixed, but they were orderly. Then I heard the sound of the flowing streams, the sound of sheep and the crowing of cattle, which was indeed another world independent of the prosperous city.
Just as I was immersed in this pure natural scenery, Le Yao patted my shoulder and signaled me to look at the foot of the mountain. I looked in the direction of her finger and saw Roben running towards a woman working in the terraces... Although we couldn't see the woman clearly, we had already guessed that she was Wei Manwen, who Luo Ben thought about day and night!
