【014】To dream
That night, Ran Qin and the others went to Xintai Hotel and found nothing. They didn't even see Zhong Kui's shadow, let alone see anything else.
After returning home, she unexpectedly had a dream. The dream is no different from reality. Zhong Kui still looks the same, feeling stupid. Her dark face and stubborn stubble are as vigorous and dense as dodder grass, and it slids around her lips and chin.
A hint of nervousness and expectation appeared on his face. The expression seemed to be waiting for someone. His fingers were tightly pinching something, and the complex expression made Ran Qin unable to understand it.
She subconsciously looked up at him, "How are you? Why can't you see you?" She was confused in her heart, and she felt very real that he was within reach but couldn't grasp it.
"I'm fine, I'm in a very safe place." Zhong Kui said, lowering his head and stretching out the palm of his hand that was tightly pulled, and then slowly spread it out.
Ran Qin saw that the center of his spreading palm was an unknown seed.
"What are you doing?"
Zhong Kui showed an intriguing smile and said, "Help me send this seed to Beijing to that pair of poor old men."
"who?"
"Cai Youquan." As he spoke, Zhong Kui slowly retreated, looking at her with a strange look...
"Oh!" Ran Qin screamed in surprise, trembling all over... Damn, it turned out to be Nan Ke Yimeng! Scared! He reached out and lifted up his wet bangs, pulled the light switch, and got off the bed and wiped his face.
It was really cool when she stepped on the ground barefoot. A very small sound came from the edge of the bed after she got out of bed. She turned her head casually and looked behind her, and her eyes suddenly stopped.
What fell to the ground was a seed, a very strange seed. Its strangeness was not the shape, but the tacit understanding in the dream. Ran Qin clearly remembered that in the dream, Zhong Kui stuffed a seed into her palm. The feeling of touching fingers and fingers was really real, just like something that happened in an instant.
Her feet still had a little pain and were almost healed. The foot injury was troublesome and it was inconvenient to do things. During this period, my mother went to the market to ask someone to buy bones and stewed soup for her to drink. She would be cured so quickly.
Unbelievably picked up the seeds on the ground and looked in front of her. The seeds were so small that they made people unable to help but breed the idea of caring for them. Thinking back to the scene in the dream and the seeds pinched by her fingers, she secretly decided to take a leave tomorrow to Beijing.
Ran Qin couldn't tell the reason for going out to Beijing, she could only say that she was going to Beijing to meet someone.
Beijing, the capital, is a fascinating place. Those simple faces and those bicycle teams with bells. There is a side wheel next to the bicycle. There is a iron seat on the side wheel. There is a child sitting in the seat, or an old man over 70 years old.
The difference between Beijing in Ran Qin's sight and City A is that most of the people here wrap a veil on their heads. On the traffic booth, there are heroic traffic police, wearing white uniforms, brave the cold and heat, meticulously gestures, dancing the red and white batons, one left and one right, and directing the vehicles to move in an orderly manner.
An old lady with a small foot was hesitant and looked around, looking a little afraid to cross the road. Ran Qin stepped forward and held it. After asking, she found out that the old lady really didn't dare to cross the road.
Just so happened that she was helping the old lady cross the road to inquire about Cai Youquan's home address from the side.
The old lady didn't know Cai Youquan, so she had to go to the nearest police station.
When the police station saw her ID card, they cooperated vigorously and finally found Cai Youquan. They also told her what happened to Cai Youquan's family recently. What the other party told about was the suicide of Cai Youquan's daughter.
Ran Qin wanted to hand over the seed in her hand to the old man himself, so she had to see them. With the assistance of the police officers from the police station, she determined Cai Youquan's address and inquired along the way. She finally learned about Cai Youquan's situation from the aunt passing by. She told her that if she found the address she had, she should go around from the original Dongfeng Market (Farmers' Market) to the bungalow on the right side of the open-air import entrance, and go inside to ask if Cai Youquan is there.
Cai Youquan, a retired worker who is over 50 years old, carries a shoe repair tool to set up a stall on the street to repair shoes in his spare time. His wife sews and repairs clothes for others, with the purpose of making a living, but in fact she wants to save money for her daughter Cai Xiaorong.
On my wife's birthday, they did not make anything. They went to the market to buy back the dishes that their daughter liked. They prepared to make a sumptuous home-cooked meal and waited for their daughter to come home to taste.
The waiting time is always long, accompanied by anxiety and worry. The daughter did not go home as scheduled, but the bad news of her suicide and death came from her. Her wife cried so hard that she could not dare to be careless and protect her.
When Ran Qin heard Cai Youquan telling this, tears could no longer stop flowing down, and she sobbed softly...
"Daughter, you are a good person!" Cai Youquan burst into tears, his old eyes were confused by tears. In his confused vision, he seemed to have seen his daughter Cai Xiaorong smiling at him.
Ran Qin handed the mysterious seed to Cai Youquan and walked out of their house with a heavy mood.
Later, she learned from the call from Cai Youquan that the seed was very strange. It was planted in a pot and it sprouted in a few days, and a tender and thin vine grew in a few days. A week later, a bud grew. After half a month, the buds bloomed, and the blooming flowers were very beautiful and extremely fragrant.
Cai Youquan's work was done well, but Ran Qin's heart was not relaxed. She was thinking about the rough man Zhong Kui.
Among the people coming and going, there is life and death every day. There is only a thin distance between life and death. On the construction site, a rich man was scolding the worker.
"You should be more timid. You are slow and lazy, and labor and capital will deduct your wages."
A man is a contractor. He has a bad temper and curses people on the construction site every day. In secret, the worker gave him a nickname, Huang Shiren! In fact, his name is Huangshiren.
Who is Huang Shiren? Isn’t it the bad guy among the white-haired girls? The goddamn Huangshi man is really unlucky enough. What name is hard to choose? He gave such a scolded name.
Huangshi people are not very good at dealing with people, and they are even more snobbish and famous for their workers. Otherwise, how could the workers give him such a weird name!
The Huangshi family is in the suburbs. He and his wife have worked hard for two years and have a son who is nine years old.
