Why we meet so late

"Wait a minute..." Luo Weisen said that it's OK to take three rounds, but you must take something to eat in your hand. It doesn't have to be expensive snacks. It can be fried bananas and mangoes sold on the street. He quickly went to the street to buy a lot of snacks and fruits, helped me carry them and handed them to me“ It's not close to the Mekong River from here. In case you are bored, you might as well eat and watch at the same time. " I was moved by the carefulness of Lawson. It seems that he is really trying to be a qualified husband.

Luo Weisen wanted to ride with me in the same car, but considering the weight of two people, it was bound to make it difficult for the driver to ride, so he called another car and followed me closely. To be honest, I'm in an indescribable mood right now. Fried bananas and mangoes with cream are delicious. The rickshaw puller is very familiar and smooth. I watched with great interest the children playing on the street, the women drying their clothes on the roadside, and the men busy repairing motorcycles and household appliances. A stream of secular fireworks came to my face.

Gradually, I can see the panorama of the Mekong River clearly. There is a faint disappointment in my heart. The water in the Mekong River is not clear and dirty. There are many strange bubbles, plastic waste and animal carcasses on the river. In the shallow water, there are not only local residents taking a bath, but also chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in the water. When I got out of the car, Lawson came up to me and looked at me: "now, are you still thinking about the past life and the present life?"

"I'm just an obsession. I just want to have a look. "

"Song Yao, you are a strange woman. Fortunately, you met me. Otherwise, other men will treat you as a different kind. " With that, Lawson pinched my nose“ Although the river is a bit dirty, it doesn't affect my view of the Mekong River. After all, Vietnam is still a developing country. "

In the afternoon, there are not many tourists to the Mekong River. When lowerson and I decided to walk along the landscape belt, we suddenly thought of an old voice behind us. The voice was still Chinese, although it was mixed with a strong southern accent.

"Sir, miss, do you want to tell fortune?"

fortune-telling? I looked back and saw an old woman in her seventies standing behind me and Lawson. Her face was wrinkled, her hair was gray, her hair was combed into a bun, and she was wearing a dark, colorless odee, but she was very energetic. She told me that all lovers who come to visit the Mekong River have asked her to count their life and marriage. Although no one else can name her, her appearance is remembered by all the tourists who come here. The old woman's way of fortune telling is very special, because she is also holding a bird cage in her hand. Inside the cage is a yellow feather bird. There are two red and blue crystal stones at the foot of the bird“ Miss, my bird is very spiritual. As long as you spit a little and wipe it on the bird's feathers, it will be able to predict whether your marriage is happy or not when it gets the will. " The old woman said that if the bird's beak is chasing the blue crystal, it means that my husband and I will divorce if our marriage doesn't end. If it's a red crystal, it proves that my husband is the one.

When I heard that, I laughed.

He shook his head and thought it was ridiculous. He took my hand and walked on.

I said to her: "mother-in-law, I am second married, he is my second husband, we are very happy, to Saigon is honeymoon, do not want to fortune telling." I think the old lady is trying to cheat some money by means of fortune telling gimmicks. After all, she looks shabby and has a hole in her shoes. I can't be a fortune teller, but I'm willing to give some money as a handout.
