curse

Chapter 8

There is a picture on the wall, which shows a desert, full of gravel and gravel, incomplete mounds, and maybe there should be a bleak sun.

The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.

Wonderful lines, Bai Bi suddenly thought of these two lines of poetry.Looking at the paintings on the wall now, she feels that she has reached that place, where is the wasteland?She doesn't know either.More than ten years ago, on the day her father died, she drew this painting. Of course, a 10-year-old child painted very naively, but she likes this one, maybe it contains some kind of commemoration.When Jiang He came to her home for the first time, he saw this painting. He stared at it for a long time, as if fascinated.He asked Bai Bi if she had been to that kind of place, and Bai Bi replied that it was the place she saw in a dream.Jiang He said that he likes the desolate wilderness and desert, and one day, he must go there. Of course, his wish came true not long before his death.

The doorbell rang suddenly, and the ringing made her shiver suddenly. She shook her body violently, touched her chest, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the door.

It turned out to be Xiao Se, who walked in quickly wearing a short skirt and holding a large bouquet of white flowers in her hand.

"Bai Bi, are you okay?" Xiao Se's voice was nice, like a star.

Bai Bi nodded, took the bouquet of white flowers in her hand, and said softly, "Thank you."

She poured Xiao Se a glass of water, Xiao Se was very familiar with this place, took the glass and said with a smile, "Bai Bi, you're welcome. I'm sorry, I didn't come to Jiang He's memorial service yesterday."

"Forget it, it's nothing, I didn't like yesterday's funeral." Bai Bi's words were a bit languid, except for Jiang He, only when she was talking to Xiao Se did she not feel nervous and depressed, and she naturally revealed her true feelings.

"What happened to Jiang He? It was so sudden, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen." When Xiao Se spoke, her eyes flickered. She always wore eye shadow to set off her eyes, but she still quietly revealed an inexplicable feeling. This made Bai Bi feel a little strange.

"I don't know. The cause of death is unknown. Maybe it was just an accident. Maybe there was something wrong with his body. He worked late at night in the research institute. He may have called me once, but he didn't speak. I called him again, but No one answered, it happened around that time, and the next morning, his body was found in the research institute, that's all I knew."

Xiao Se nodded and listened to Bai Bi's words, she sighed and said, "It's really strange, maybe it can be written into a novel, no, it can be written into a play, and I will play your role."

"Do not make jokes?"

Xiao Se shook his head seriously: "I'm serious. These days I've always been thinking that Jiang He, although he's a little earthy, is actually quite attractive, you know? Sometimes, I also like him a little bit. , because he is very masculine, and I like men with masculinity. Men nowadays lack this kind of taste, and those men who stick chest hair on their chests are actually the most stupid."

Listening to her words, Bai Bi gradually chewed out something, she nodded slightly and said: "Now, everything is over, don't mention it."

"Okay, you will forget all this soon." Xiao Se put her arms around Bai Bi's shoulders, she felt that this was enough, Bai Bi's shoulders were soft, and her whole body seemed to sink deeper and deeper, trembling slightly.

Bai Bi managed to raise his head, smiled and asked: "Say something else, last time you said you joined a troupe and were planning to rehearse a new play?"

"Yes, have you ever heard of a young writer named Luo Zhou?" Xiao Se said.

Bai Bi shook his head.

"Oh, he's not very well-known now, maybe because people can't understand what he wrote, but people who can understand say that his writing is too vulgar. Now he is the screenwriter and director of our troupe. We We are preparing a new play called "Soul Breaks in Loulan"."

"Soulbreak Loulan?" Bai Bi seemed a little sensitive to the name.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I don't know why I feel a little uncomfortable when I hear these words."

Xiao Se comforted and said: "You must be a little neurotic. You have been neurotic since you were a child. To be honest, sometimes you are quite worrying. I am really afraid that you will be sent to a mental hospital by accident. , then I really won’t be able to see you.” Before finishing speaking, Xiao Se giggled.

Bai Bi also wanted to smile to herself, but she still couldn't smile after all, but the corners of her mouth curled up as much as possible. She really envied Xiao Se's ability to smile happily anytime and anywhere, even though sometimes it was inappropriate.Suddenly, she thought of her mother, so she asked lightly, "Xiao Se, do you think I will be like my mother?"

"Bai Bi, why are you thinking about it again? Well, I'm sorry, I was just joking just now, don't take it to heart, you will be fine, and your mother will be back soon." Xiao Se stretched out Reaching out, stroking Bai Bi's hair, letting her hair slip slowly between his fingers.

"It's okay, I know I'm a person who will never have luck."

"Don't say that."

"When I was 10 years old, my father had a car accident on his 40th birthday. He went to see a doctor for me. He left without blowing out the birthday candles. If it weren't for me, he would never have had an accident. Then, my mother Mentally disturbed, always saying horrible things, ended up in a mental hospital, for many years. And I, 1 month before we got married, lost my fiancé forever, and the cause of death is still unknown. Simply Said, I have lived for more than 20 years, maybe except for you, almost all the people closest to me in my life have left me, maybe I have been infected with some bad luck. And..." He said Then, her nostrils were a little blocked, so she could only stop.

Xiao Se sighed and said, "I understand all this, but don't be afraid, at least I'm still here."

Bai Bi suddenly looked at her with a strange look and said, "Promise me, live a good life, I want you to live a good life and live to be 100 years old."

Xiao Se looked at Bai Bi's red eye circles and big eyes a little uncomfortable, she smiled and replied: "No problem, even if you don't let me live, I will still live well. 100 years old is too little, 101 years or so."

Bai Bi finally smiled.

Xiao Se stood up, looked at the night outside the window and said: "Bai Bi, I have a suggestion for you, put down the blinds at night, otherwise others will peep."

"What are you peeking at? I have nothing to look at. I just like to look at the night. There are some star-like lights in the dark distance, as if talking to another world." Bai Bi also looked outside .

"It's here again, I can't stand you. Okay, I'm leaving, put the flowers in a vase quickly. Come to the small theater to watch our rehearsal in a few days." Then she copied the address of the rehearsal theater to Bai Bi , left here.

Xiao Se is Bai Bi's best girlfriend.They have been classmates since they were young, and they seem to have some kind of fate by nature, even though their personalities are almost completely different.Although Bai Bi was very beautiful when he was a child, his face was always pale, and when he looked at others, he always stared into other people's eyes, and that kind of eyes made others feel uncomfortable.She didn't talk much, either she didn't say a word all day, or she said some very scary things, and she always looked mysterious anyway.Because of her special experience of losing her father when she was young, many people think that she is very unlucky and a broom star, and many children dare not approach her.Only Xiao Se didn't care about all this, she tried to get close to the lonely Bai Bi, she was willing to listen patiently to every word Bai Bi said, instead of running away in fear like other children, so she became Bai Bi's innocent A bosom friend who doesn't talk about it, and the only trustworthy peer.Later, Bai Bi studied fine arts, while Xiao Se went to the Drama Academy to study acting.Xiao Se has always wanted to be an actress, but she has no connections, and she is unwilling to do the kind of thing that betrays herself, so she has only played tricks in a few third-rate TV dramas.Now, Xiao Se can only go back to her profession to act in dramas, and what is scheduled now is her first drama.However, until now, the relationship between her and Bai Bi is still as good as before. When Bai Bi and Jiang He were about to get married, Xiao Se would often accompany her to advise her. in her.

After Xiao Se left, the room immediately became deserted. Only Xiao Se's arrival could bring some vitality to the house, and now it has returned to lifelessness.Bai Bi felt a sense of loss again, and her heart was flooded. She looked at the white flowers in the vase, that kind of white flowers were very suitable for funerals, and she regretted why she didn't hold them at yesterday's memorial service Such a bouquet of white flowers.She has always liked white, especially white flowers, maybe this is also the symbol of her name.

She turned her eyes to the night outside the window again.
