my old life

Chapter 135
The atmosphere became very tense, and it seemed like a nail had grown underneath me. I heard that people in the Jianghu pay attention to face, and being refuted by others is a big deal...

Time seemed to freeze, I watched him cautiously without daring to breathe, but he didn't say anything, and took out a wooden sign from his body and threw it to me.

"Wear this on your body, no one will dare to do anything to you here in the future!"

What I saw was an exquisite black and white two-color hang tag, with a cat head with a yin and yang face depicted on it, it seemed to be very valuable!
"This is too precious, Master Bai, I really can't take it." I hurriedly returned the tag. Since I was a child, I have understood the principle of eating people's mouths and grabbing hands, and I can't take things that are not my own.

But he didn't pick it up, he stood up slowly and extinguished the cigarette in his hand, looked at me and said with a smile: "Take it, you and I are destined...Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"

I immediately nodded firmly, although my heart is very complicated, but the second uncle asked me to wait for him here, I must not leave here for half a step!

He smiled, turned around and walked out, without looking back, he said, "You will come to me sooner or later!"

I didn't understand what he meant. He had already left with Ah Jin and others. I felt like I was dreaming. Looking at the tag in my hand, I was filled with emotion.

Others said that Maobai was dangerous, but he helped me again and again, and even gave me a hanging tag before leaving. I feel that he is not as bad as others say.

Maybe the good and the bad are just for different people, and they are related to the difference in my own interests, but I didn't intend to wear it, I just put it in my pocket, and I will return it when I have a chance...

I didn't leave the dormitory, I just asked Fang Tian to bring some food for me, I was afraid that the mouse eyes would trouble me again, anyway, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Fang Tian came to the dormitory with big bags and small bags. He brought roast chicken, peanuts and a few bottles of beer.

While eating and chatting, I feel that it is good to have a friend by my side. At least one person will not feel lonely, and I feel that other people are very good.

Although Fang Tian is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, he is not a coward. His weakness is only for self-protection. He does things on the gambling boat to avoid getting himself into trouble. I can understand him.

Maybe if it were me, I would stand up for my friends and not think about the troubles I would have. I think this may be the difference between being human!

After eating and drinking, Fang Tian patted his butt and left. I gave him 1000 yuan and asked him to help deliver food for the past few days, and of course beer is indispensable.

Fang Tian patted his chest and left. After a while, two boxes of beer were brought in, and there were even two bottles of high-strength vodka. I remember that my second uncle liked to drink spirits the most.

In a blink of an eye, I was the only one left, locked the cabin door and continued to drink. I felt that it was good to be alone, but the wind blowing in from the window was chilly...it was autumn.

Standing at the window feels the coldness that penetrates the whole body. It is different from the heat of summer. Everything becomes cold, which makes people's minds much clearer.

Close the window and continue to drink. I remember that every autumn I would go to the back of my hometown to pick wild fruits, and I would go to other people’s orchards to steal fruits to eat. There were fallen leaves and fruits all over the mountains and plains.

At that time, the sky was always blue, the sky was high and clear in autumn, and we ran and laughed heartily on the hillside covered with yellow leaves. precious……

What I once longed for, but I no longer want it when I grow up, what I once hoped to pass away quickly, but now I can’t go back anyway, what happened to all this?
I don't know how much beer I drank. The more I drank, the colder my heart became. I unscrewed a bottle of vodka and drank it vigorously. I was so choked that I couldn't stop coughing and tears came down. My mouth seemed to be on fire.

Gritting his teeth, he continued to gulp twice, his whole throat was hot, and his whole chest seemed to be on fire after drinking strong alcohol. Although it didn't taste good, at least it wouldn't make him feel cold.

I lit a cigarette, and the hotness in my throat made me feel a lot more comfortable. At this moment, I vaguely understood why my second uncle likes to drink the strongest alcohol, because it can drive away the loneliness and desolation in my heart...

I don't know how the second uncle is doing now, and I don't know what he is doing, but I hope he can feel good, and I can't help but think of Seventeenth Sister.

Her eyes and smile are deeply engraved in my mind. I used to think that Sixteenth Sister is very good, but I know that the person I really like is Seventeenth Sister!

If Sixteenth Sister did not have such a strong background, I think I would still choose Seventeenth Sister, because she is like a flame full of positive energy, which can warm my heart at any time.

I still remember that once, she ran towards me and melted my heart with just a simple hug. From that moment on, I knew it was impossible to hold others in my heart...

He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Seventeenth Sister, hoping that she was still awake.

"have you slept?"

"No, I was thinking of you."

In an instant, my heart twitched violently, and just a few words pierced my heart like a sharp knife. There was an indescribable warmth in my heart. I never felt that words had such magical power, as if they carried warmth!

"I miss you too, remember to add clothes when the weather is cold, I will go back soon, I really miss you!"

"Sanming, where have you been? Why have you refused to call me?"

I was silent for a moment, I didn't know how to explain it, and I didn't want to hurt her. Only through online contact can I feel safe, and I don't feel the slightest sense of security on the gambling boat.

"I haven't gone anywhere. I'm near Chu City now. I'll go to Shanghai City in a few days and then go home."

When I saw the word "going home", my own eye circles were a little bit astringent. I don't know why the word "go home" can touch my heart.

"No matter what, I'm waiting for you. Sister Sixteen and the others are also here. Will you come?"

"Of course, I will stay by your side to protect you, and we will go to the end together!"

"Go to hell, you will know how to lie to people!"

I couldn't help laughing silly, I seemed to see her shy appearance, but I missed her even more.

"I won't lie to you, I, Xiong Sanming, swear that I will find you when I go back!"

"Well, you go to bed early and remember to cover the quilt."

"Good night sweet dreams, love you!"

Putting down the phone, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart, thoughts gushed out like a tide, and the shadow of Seventeenth Sister became clearer and clearer, as if it was right in front of my eyes, but it felt so far away.

At this moment, how much I want to hold her hand and walk on the small embankment by the river, how much I want to step on willow branches and yellow leaves to hug her, how much I want to kiss her under the sunset in the autumn sky...

I drank my head down, and unconsciously I fell in love with the spicy taste of spirits. The flame in my throat seemed to ignite my heart, making my heart not so cold, not so lonely, and allowing me to feel a little bit of temperature in my chest...

I kept drinking strong alcohol, and felt that all my nerves were paralyzed. Maybe it was only at this moment that I wanted to get drunk, and I didn't want to let myself spend a difficult night.

Drowsy and sleepy, I think I can drink strong wine, but I can't survive the late autumn without you...

The next morning, I was awakened by the whistle of a gambling ship, and my head was groggy. After a hangover, my head was as heavy as lead.

I took out a cigarette and lit it. I thought it might be because I drank too much alcohol, and my head felt like it was about to explode, but the whole night was in a trance for a moment, so it didn't make me feel uncomfortable.

Most of the people on the gambling boat didn’t get up at this time, I washed my face and walked onto the bow deck, and immediately felt the freezing temperature in the air, which made my body feel chilly.

The heat that permeated the whole summer has dissipated, and I feel refreshed after taking a deep breath. I think it may not be long before the coldness of late autumn will permeate until the snow is all over the sky...

"It's so early, I didn't expect you to get up early."

Looking back, it was Qian Xinyun. She was wearing a white sportswear, and she looked like she was doing morning exercises, which was really beyond my expectation.

"You too." As soon as I spoke, he immediately took two steps back, his hand flickering in front of his nose.

"How much wine have you drank? There is such a big smell of alcohol in the early morning!"

I smiled embarrassedly. I really need to drink less alcohol in the future. Although it warms my heart, too much alcohol will hurt my body.

Leaning on the railing and watching the gambling boat leave the pier little by little, I feel a lot more relaxed. I know that this time I will go down the river and return to Shanghai, and I will also see my second uncle.

I will continue to work hard, strive to win more money in one day and one night, and gather enough money as soon as possible to leave the gambling boat and return to the place I dream of.

Lift your head to take a last look at the sky, take a deep breath and let yourself be intoxicated in the long sky of autumn water...
