I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 152 The Inspiration From Her To Make Money

I didn't rush to text her back, but grabbed my phone and played with it a few times, and then I figured out one thing for a moment. If I promised her to help her find a house in Dali where she could celebrate the New Year, then Does it mean that we have kept each other secret for so long, and finally ushered in the day when we will meet each other?
After having such an idea, the sense of curiosity that had faded in my heart came back like a cloud. Besides, it is not difficult for me to help her find a house in Dali, so it is very refreshing He replied: "How long do you want to live here? Let me help you find out which houses are more cost-effective."

"Between a week and half a month, how long you stay depends on your mood."

"In such a short period of time, renting a private house is not practical, so I can only stay in an inn... However, I have to remind you that during the Chinese New Year, the price of the inn here is at least three times that of the off-season. It is recommended to travel to Dali during Chinese New Year.”

"When I come out to play, the most important thing is to be happy, I don't think about spending money."

"Okay, are you the legendary rich and willful?"

"I don't have any money, but that doesn't mean I care about money... I think that if you don't spend money and save it in your hands, it loses its meaning."

"If everyone has your consumption outlook, those of us who do business will be blessed... Tell me, what price do you want to find an inn, and I will help you pay attention."

"I won't talk about the price, as long as it is a quieter place with better sanitary conditions."

I lit a cigarette, and a thought suddenly popped up in my brain, and it became more and more inflated. In just a moment, I connected her request with the place of Jiulongju, and then another crazier one appeared. thoughts...

Why do you have to open a shop when you go to Jiulongju?This kind of thinking is very rigid. If I rent 20 houses in this commercial street at a bargain price for only one month, and then rent them to those tourists who visit Dali during the Chinese New Year in the form of short-term rent, that is Isn't it an idea to seize a business opportunity and make quick money?

I think it is feasible, because the environment of this commercial street is very good, and the purpose of foreign tourists is very clear. What they want is a comfortable place to live, so they don’t care about what this commercial street has experienced before. The quieter it is, the better it is. The less popular, the more able to meet their needs.

I heard that during the Chinese New Year last year, the influx of tourists far exceeded the reception capacity of all the hotels and inns in Dali, so there was also a very incredible scene: in order to have a place to rest, the tourists even went to the hotel in public. Renting a sofa to sleep in the area, even so, costs 300 yuan a night; and those tourists who come by car regard the car as a place to live, so that the 214 National Road leading to the ancient city is full of indiscriminate parking. The vehicles caused traffic paralysis, and at the same time, it also reflects how hot the tourism market is in Dali during the Chinese New Year.

If I can rent a sufficient number of shops in Jiulongju before the Chinese New Year and renovate them to make them function as residences, I will definitely make a lot of money.

This idea just took shape in my brain a little bit, and I became more and more excited. If there were no people there at night, I wish I could go and look at those houses now, and then calculate the cost of renovation.

……

When I remembered that I hadn't replied to that woman's message, I restrained my inner excitement, then picked up my phone and replied the message: "Don't worry, I will help you find a comfortable house, and I have to ask for a good house." You have a meal."

"Are you such a polite person?"

"I'm not being polite, I just want to thank you...Thank you for providing me with a way to make money. I think you are my lucky general!"

"Do I still have this ability?!"

"It's not ability. I think it's more appropriate to say that a blind cat meets a dead mouse."

"You're the dead mouse!"

"Then you are a blind cat...haha."

I was happy in my heart, so not only did I have "haha" in the text I sent her, but I also really laughed out in reality, but I didn't know what kind of expression or action she had on the other end of the phone, and this That's what's interesting about this way of chatting, because we are strangers to each other, so there is so much room for imagination.

……

After finishing the conversation with this woman, I sat for a while, and then remembered that I just wanted to send a message to Ye Zhi, and the desire to send her a message came from a call that Lao Mizai had made to me before. A very low-level reason, asking me to bring Ye Zhi back to my hometown as a guest after the year.

Of course I wouldn't say this to Ye Zhi, unless we are really boyfriend and girlfriend.

I sat in the small bar of the inn and finished a bottle of beer before finally sending Ye Zhi a message: "Are you asleep?"

Ye Zhi texted me back five minutes later: "I'm going to sleep now, I have to get up early to catch the plane tomorrow... Do you have anything to do?"

"It's nothing special. It's just that I'm alone in the inn, and I'm a little bored, so I want to chat with someone... If you get up early tomorrow, go to sleep."

"Chat with you for a while... If I don't reply to the message later, it means I fell asleep."

I didn't rush to reply to the message, but sat down by the Erhai Lake with my mobile phone and a cigarette. I wanted to calm myself down. I knew that such days were numbered, because the inn was on the verge of being demolished, so I left here. I also lost the opportunity to meditate on the Erhai Lake anytime, anywhere.

……

This night, the wind blowing by the Erhai Lake was very cold, and the air was not as fresh as usual. It seemed that there was always a smell of dust. Looking back, I found that there was an excavator working in the farmland in the distance.

I hate the metal feeling brought by the machine, but I have no way to hate this night by the Erhai Lake. On the contrary, I still cherish it, because I always hide myself in the sound of the waves and the night, and think about many things. These are Erhai Lake And what the night has taught me.

I exhaled the smoke heavily, and then took a picture of the scene in front of me with my mobile phone, only to find that all the real objects turned into random noises on the screen, just like this world, maybe what you see is completely The real side, but when you really want to get in touch, it will all become illusions that you can't understand or understand, and then make you doubt everything and life.

Or, the world is not so complicated, but it is complicated by our imagination. For our long life, the only thing that really matters is birth and death.

With this feeling, I finally sent a message to Ye Zhi: "Have you ever thought about the day when you will grow old or even die, and what is the purpose of our life?"

"Think about it, I'm afraid of death, and even more afraid of getting old!"

"I especially hope that in a certain space, there is another me...He lives a more chic and simpler life than me...I also hope that in this space, there is another you besides me."

"What do you think the other me looks like?"

"Extremely incompetent, and also extremely ugly!"

Ye Zhi sent a speechless expression...

I sent her another message: "But you are happier than you in this space... because ordinary people also have a lot of ordinary happiness, just like me... light a cigarette, sit by the Erhai Lake For a while, I also feel that this is a kind of sublimation of life. I can subjectively separate my desires from material things, and then pursue spiritual enjoyment... Can you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, you are laughing at me, you are a person who has no spiritual enjoyment."

"I just want to find a sense of balance in you... I don't want to be a very poor person in front of you. I also want to prove that I am actually a very thoughtful person."

"You are suitable to be a philosopher... I think your thinking is different from that of normal people. You seem to be able to see a lot of things other than life."

I squinted my eyes, took a deep puff of my cigarette, and then sent a message back: "But this is not my luck... Over the years, the pain I should have endured is no less than others, or even more …In the final analysis, this is not a high level of thought, it is just a small method used by an unwilling man to paralyze himself … This is also after failing to achieve an ideal life, and the next best thing.”

This time, it took a long time for Ye Zhi to reply: "It will get better, I believe you are a capable man, at least you are more resilient than ordinary people."

"It's kind of strange to say thank you, but I still want to thank you for your encouragement... because it's very useful to me!"

After waiting for a long time, Ye Zhi didn't reply to the message. It should be what she said, she fell asleep while chatting... Maybe, she really can't understand my pain and struggle, just like I can't understand her flower. It's like fulfilling a waiting promise after so long.

I think there is still a gap between us. After all, we grew up in different environments, so it is difficult to have the so-called empathy.

……

The wind blew the air around me even colder, and it even blew out my inner loneliness. I seemed to have become a waiting person, standing by the Erhai Lake, feeling this very real world, but my heart was I don't know what I'm waiting for...

Submerging myself in the dim night, I suddenly thought of Lu Jia and Wang Lei, one of them separated from me, and the other said goodbye to me... Then, would they in another parallel world not do this? Woolen cloth?
My head hurts from thinking, and I feel more and more lonely.

If at this moment, there is a woman who is willing to hug me from behind, even if it can't warm the whole thing, just a back...I would love her with all of myself...because she understands me best.
