Chapter 645: The whereabouts of 1 million
Two songs were sung on this square, and the dusk alternated with the night at a speed visible to the naked eye. The light of the city began to crisscross again, weaving the brilliance that belongs only here, as if covering up the heart-wrenching pain and all the helplessness that happened here.
I was a little tired, so I stopped singing and put the guitar aside. The children seemed to be rescued and hugged each other in cheers. They were still young and their lives had just begun. How could they be interested in a song "The Past Time" that sang helplessly? What they like was the roaring oil-powered racing car.
When I was the only one left around, I pulled out a cigarette from my pocket and lit it in the face of the city's rotation and flow... Close your eyes and let the smoke spread in my mouth. I heard the sound coming from all directions, like the sound of drums, like the shouts of indulging in fate...
I remembered Robben again, and the days when we played music together. Since he went to the United States, I have called him three times in total, two of which were turned off. The only time he was sleeping, he was sleeping, and after just a few words, he hung up impatiently. When he made the call, it was the afternoon in the United States time, and it was not a day off, he actually fell asleep. God knows what kind of life he lived in the United States... I guess he went to death to drink again!
And cc, where is she? Do you still regard music as an indispensable part of your life, and will you miss everything that happened in Suzhou?
Opening my mouth, the smoke that was holding spreads away like a silence. I just used a cigarette to think about many people and many things. I knew these were all about to leave!
The phone trembled in my pocket. I took it out and looked at it. The phone was called by Mi Cai. I suddenly felt joy in my heart, but there was a hint of loneliness. I knew that this phone meant that I could see her tomorrow. If we were efficient enough, we would appear in front of my father and mother the day after tomorrow, which would surprise them!
I answered the phone and coughed in the cold wind. She asked with concern: "Why are you coughing so badly?"
"As soon as the wind blows, I get choked by the smoke."
"Smoke less cigarettes!"
"Well...will you come back tomorrow?"
Mi Cai was silent for a long time before answering: "Go back... the day after tomorrow is Mi Lan and Fang Yuan's wedding, do you know?"
I was stunned when I heard this news from Mi Cai. This was a piece of news for me. In this news, I saw Fang Yuan's resolute and cruelty. His marriage news would defeat Yan Yan again, without giving her any room to breathe. Even if this past ten years of love finally brings Yan Yan to shame, some memories belong to life and take time to forget and let go.
I finally replied: "I know they will get married, but I don't know if it's the day after tomorrow!"
"Milan contacted me this morning."
I whispered anger: "She still has the face to contact you?"
"Zhaoyang, people are conflicting, aren't they?... Zhuomei's grudges are put aside. After all, we are sisters who grew up together. I don't want to hate her. She may still be thinking about having me as her sister."
I fell into silence because I couldn't understand the relationship between her and Mi Lan, but I didn't want to interfere with anything. I just asked, "Has she invited you to the wedding?"
"Um."
"Then will you go?"
"I want to go...but it's not suitable to go, and you won't go with me!"
I was silent again and said to her: "We don't need to consider this matter at all... At least I can't give my blessings to this disgusting couple. Do you know? They are going to get married, but the innocent child who paid the price for them behind them... Yan Yan has already taken away the child. I don't know whether Mi Lan has told you this."
Mi Cai sighed, and said nothing more...
I lit another cigarette in my depressed mood. When the smoke and lights intertwined, I didn’t know what fate was. Mi Lan married Fang Yuan. If Mi Cai married me in the future, we would have a kinship relationship, but this was a great irony, a satire that made people unable to speak!
I didn't want to be so dull, so I changed the subject and asked her, "By the way, has your 1 million donated to a local medical institution?"
"Um."
I smiled and said, "There is no one in the world that is better than you. Not only did I help the small mountain village to build roads, but I also improved their medical conditions. I am simply an angel in my heart!"
"Lu is the one Leyao who helped them repair it. Don't take all the credits on me just to turn me into an angel. I feel guilty!"
"That was also what the angel brought the money with him!"
"Okay... you don't have to find reasons so deliberately, let alone find topics. I understand what you mean... I won't talk to you about Mi Lan again, or can we talk about when we will go back to Xuzhou?"
"I hope it's the day after tomorrow. If you feel hasty, it's okay. Anyway, I've packed all the things I want to take away into my luggage and can leave at any time."
"Just come to the day after tomorrow."
......
Carrying a guitar, I walked home. Among the crowds, I took out my cell phone from my pocket again and prepared to call the village chief of Xiaoshan Village. Thanks for his care for Mi Cai these days, and of course I have to bother him and send Mi Cai safely to the county town tomorrow.
Soon, the village chief answered the phone. Before I could speak, he said with gratitude: "Brother Zhaoyang, you are the benefactor of our village! Since our fathers, we have been looking forward to this road, and now it has finally come true. Thank you so much..."
I didn't dare to take credit, so I smiled and replied, "Village Chief, you don't have to be so polite. Mi Cai and I are just doing something for this road. The person you really want to thank is Le Yao..."
The village chief sighed: "She is a big star, and we can't contact her. We used to think that she was joking with us, but I didn't expect that she was really thinking about this... Brother Zhaoyang, next time you see her, you must express your gratitude to her for us and welcome her to visit our village again... We have a good wine and good food to thank her!"
"Don't worry, village chief, I will tell her if you say it."
Even though I promised so, the village chief was still worried and repeatedly reminded him several times... I listened patiently, and after he really believed that I would not forget, he said to him again: "Village Chief, Mi Cai is going back to Suzhou tomorrow. Please send her to the county town in person, otherwise I wouldn't feel relieved."
"No trouble, no trouble... I'll send her away tomorrow morning."
"Then thank you, the village chief. She has caused you a lot of trouble these days, right?"
"Brother Zhaoyang, you'll see you again... We thank her little sister for not having time. I heard that she brought the money for road construction, but she would be happy for everyone!!"
