The expected scene did not appear. Beside a row of five faucets on the left side of the yard, an old woman in her sixties or seventies was waiting for water while hammering her clothes. When she saw someone coming in, the short old woman turned to Shen. Jay took a look.
He still remembered that this old woman was a family on the first floor facing the gate. At home, one noon when Li Yuenai refused to open the window, he heard the sound of an old-fashioned motorcycle parking downstairs, and then there was The landlord said to the old woman:
"How about you clean the third floor and the toilets from now on, and I'll give you 50 yuan less on the monthly rent."
The old woman heard about such a good thing, and she has been cleaning the building since then. She doesn't seem to be at work.
The old man in her family specializes in repairing bicycles and leather shoes. He set up a street stall in front of the factory. There are also many people with bicycles in the yard, which is also convenient for everyone. The dozen or so households upstairs and downstairs are very interested in this old couple. very familiar.
In the memory of the past, because he and Li Yue were tired of each other most of the time, he might never be able to be with her again in the future. That kind of beauty along with pain filled his heart.
As he walked up every staircase, he felt that it had been filled with so many years in his past that he could never forget.
"Landlord, I'm here."
After he finished saying this, he could feel that his voice had that fragile, unmanly pleading tone.
"You just knock on the door to see if anyone is there."
The landlord's rich voice came over,
He felt that there was still more or less impatience in this voice.
He doesn't want to trouble others either.
"Hello, I stayed in your room before. I forgot something in your room and I forgot to take it."
As soon as the door opened, a woman in her thirties who was about 1.6 meters tall looked over.
"Give her the phone." The landlord's voice came from the speaker.
"Hey, I'm the landlord."
The loud voice of the landlord has already been heard.
The woman obviously heard it, her eyes changed from looking at Shen Jie with a strange look at the moment to looking at the mobile phone he stretched out, and now she looked like she was listening attentively.
"Hey, what happened to the landlord?"
"This young man lived in your room before. He had a photo posted on the wall beside your bed. He forgot to take it away. It would be awkward for you to ask him to go in and look for it."
"profound."
The woman nodded, but her eyes still looked suspicious and wary.
When Shen Jie saw her nodding, he quickly walked in.
When he saw that the bedside table on the left side of the balcony was still the same one, which introduced an interview with their night school professor, he became excited.
"That picture is behind this newspaper, can I tear it off?"
He glanced at the woman behind him,
This woman, who was obviously older than him, looked a little uncomfortable, but she didn't refuse.
He didn't care anymore and quickly brushed it onto the mat. He tore the newspaper a little and saw the edge of an A4 paper inside, followed by a colorful but blurry picture.
It is a landscape photo of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.
When he saw her smiling, his whole body became a little heavy at that moment.
He carefully tore open more newspapers and peeled the transparent tape affixed to the cement wall downwards little by little, fearing that it would be damaged in any way.
Until a certain moment, he happily stood in front of the woman in the house holding this color-printed photo.
The woman was even a little moved.
"That's my girlfriend up here."
He smiled very brightly,
"Okay, take it."
"I'll go out and buy you a nice painting and put it on the wall for you."
The young man looked at her sheepishly.
"It's okay, I have it at home, I'll take care of it."
"Thank you very much."
He bent down and spoke to her.
"It's okay." The woman said with a slight smile.
"thanks, thanks."
He said two words that he was very grateful for that were often repeated by others:
After walking outside the door, he remembered that he should also say thank you to the landlord.
I don’t know when the landlord hung up the phone, maybe before he entered the house, but I didn’t hear the loud voice after that.
"do not care."
He muttered to himself, looking at the photo, unable to take his eyes off it.
~
Shen Jie looked at that photo almost every day. He suddenly discovered that there was a road on the left side of Li Yue's photo. There was a stone pillar on the roadside. There seemed to be a letter and three numbers on it. The letter was 'J'. , painted very deep,
As for the numbers, I can only vaguely see that the one in the middle may be '1'.
I can't see the other two clearly.
The outer wall of the first house in the mountain village near Li Yue was blocked with several tree sticks.
Isn’t this a distinctive feature? ! !
At this moment, he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and he became ecstatic, even yelling, for fear that others would not know.
After a long time, he calmed down.
He secretly swore in his heart that even if I turned the entire Peilin County upside down, I would definitely find Li Yue.
But Peilin County is so big, and his previous experience of going to several big cities told him that if he went directly to look for it, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack! !
This was like pouring a bucket of ice water on his extremely excited heart.
The thing that Shen Jie regrets most now is that he has been with Li Yue for so long and has never been to her hometown.
'And what the heck, I haven't written down the address on her ID card yet. '
He really gritted his teeth thinking about this.
'How could I be so stupid! ! ! Such important information! ! ! '
If he knew the address of her hometown, he must have been living at her house.
'I have mentioned to her so many times that I want to visit her hometown together, but she has always tried every means to reject me. '
'That woman must have wanted to leave me a long time ago, that's why she never showed me her ID card. '
He suddenly remembered something: She had bronchitis six months ago and went to the hospital to register. He saw a few words on her ID card, but the woman quickly put the ID card away.
'There must have been a ghost back then! '
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.
'If I had known her hometown, I might have found her long ago and might have gotten married. '
He once again fell into a trance and muttered to himself,
Fortunately, he now lives in a room that costs 20 yuan a day. The landlady recruited him directly at the train station with a paper sign.
He came here because he thought it was cheap.
He didn't want to stay there at first. He could just find a Kendami for one night, but running around for so long was really tiring both physically and mentally! ! !
"ah!"
Thinking that I am now deprived of everything by this woman's job and Aiqing, I really want to kill myself again.
However, when he was feeling depressed and angry alone, he suddenly thought of a few words that he had never thought of before: 'uke', yes, it is this small county town,
He immediately found a pen and paper from his schoolbag and wrote it down.
Looking at these two words, a smile of great accomplishment appeared on his face,
However, when he searched for this place on his mobile phone, the screen of his mobile phone was very small and could not display the picture.
He suddenly remembered that there was a newsstand at the entrance of the furniture factory.
There was probably a map of Daxia there, so he ran out without hesitation.
My whole body seemed to be activated at this moment, filled with a burst of heat.
After he got several large and small maps and studied them for a long time, he finally determined that a small mango-shaped area in the whole map of Daxia was this 'Yunka'.
He immediately rushed to the place called "Yuka" in excitement.
This is not a train that can go directly to that place.
It takes at least three trains to get to Peilin County where 'Yunka' is located.
As for the county town of 'Yunka', he still doesn't know how to get there. This junk phone can't find any information about this place.
It took him six hours to take the JM627 train from Dongwu to Qiandao County in the south of Qiantang.
Then I transferred to the M162 train and took five hours to reach Tinghu City.
Finally, after spending most of the night and a whole morning, this dark green leather train, which was clanking all the way, finally stopped at the train station in Peilin County.
He first bought a roujiamo from a small vendor outside the train station. He swore that this was definitely the best food he had ever eaten, especially when he was so hungry at the moment that he had eaten all the outer layers of the bun. The sweet taste of starch.
The sunlight in the sky was so bright that he couldn't open his eyes at all, and his brain was suddenly very dizzy at this moment. He was even a little unsteady on his feet.
Just as he was dazed, he suddenly felt as if someone had dug through his trouser pockets.
He immediately and subconsciously reached into his pocket.
He just bought Roujiamo. He gave the boss 20 yuan, and the boss gave him 19 yuan in change.
Now there are only two coins,
He looked in that direction. There were not many people at the station entrance at this point. It must have been stolen by that person. The short middle-aged man looked like he was not a good person from the back. The big 'O'-shaped legs were particularly obvious and ugly.
He subconsciously wanted to chase forward, but after running for two steps, he found that his footsteps were very slow, let alone chasing him.
Now he was shouting "There is a thief", but he found that his voice was very small and weak.
The middle-aged man who stole his money also turned around and gave him a stern look.
This man's skin is very dark, and he looks like he has been working hard for many years.
Shen Jie felt that the thief might have noticed how weak he was at the moment.
"not good."
He immediately felt that something might be wrong,
What kind of things has he not encountered while taking the train here?
He had all his savings, more than two thousand yuan, which was definitely a huge sum of money for a poor person.
What's more, this is the most important foundation for his ordinary Li Yue, which also leads to him not daring to sleep on the train.
He saw a street stall next to him and quickly walked over.
He took a fancy to a fruit knife and asked how much it cost. He didn't ask for the price, so he paid directly and put the knife in his pocket.
I wonder if the thief saw it.
