I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 374 The Photos Left by the Last Tenant
After leaving the studio, I walked on the streets and alleys of the ancient city.Now I have developed a habit. I like to take a walk to relieve my inner loneliness. I will pay attention to every shop on both sides of the street, and I will also remember those people who only met once... Whenever At this time, my heart will have a feeling of being filled, so that I have no time to care about the loneliness that is full of it.

Walking to a relatively secluded place, I called Lao Mi and asked when he would be back. I wanted to have dinner with him and my mother.Lao Mi gave Xiao Song the phone, and Xiao Song told me that they had just passed Shuanglang around the Erhai Lake, and it would take about an hour and a half to return to the ancient city.

This one and a half hours is quite torturous. I can't find a place to go, and I can't keep wandering around in the ancient city. I really hope that during this process, I can get another client so that I can use the way of work to spend these hours. Get rid of it.

……

Fortunately, when I was about to walk to the Erhai Gate, I met Bai Lu who came to the ancient city to do errands. She had already finished the errands, so the two found a coffee shop on the side of the street, ordered some drinks and snacks, and started chatting .

I still asked her first if she knew who sent me back to my residence last night. Bai Lu said that she drank too much, so she didn't notice who was the one who sent me back last night...

The more no one knows, the more my curiosity is aroused...

But Bai Lu didn't give me a chance to ask any more questions. She picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then changed the subject and asked me: "I was drinking too much yesterday, but I forgot to ask you, the rhinitis medicine, what did you give me?" Has the horse been delivered?"

"Uh... the truth is kind of hurtful, don't you listen?"

Bai Lu smiled: "I've been hurt like this by him, how else can I be hurt?!"

"Then let me tell the truth... I gave him the medicine, and he wanted it at first, but when I suggested that everyone have dinner together, including you, he immediately turned his face... and then returned the medicine gave me..."

Bai Lu sighed, then forced a smile again.

I comforted me: "It's not necessarily a bad thing... The more he cares about these details, the more unstable his mind is... Maybe one day he wants to open up, and he still thinks this colorful world is good."

Bai Lu looked at me, and after a while, she said to me with some sadness: "Maybe there will be such a day... But Mi Gao, as a woman, how long do you think I can wait for him?...Tie Nan and Tao Zi It is already a lesson for the past!"

"Yes, it's your duty to wait for him, it's your duty not to wait for him... If you really can't hold on anymore, you can choose again, this is your right."

Bai Lu was silent.

A cup of coffee was almost finished before she opened her mouth again, but she had already changed the subject. She said to me: "I see that Sisi and Cao Xiaobei have been getting very close recently. I haven't finished drinking last night. Cao Xiaobei Bei came to pick her up..."

I laughed: "What does this have to do with me?"

As I said that, I took a sip of water from the cup, then shifted my gaze and looked at the billboard on the roof outside the window. I was a little lost. The scene of the quarrel just now, like a movie, played back in my mind over again.

"You have to have a sense of crisis. Women can't stand waiting. I'm afraid she'll change her mind if she waits!"

"Don't you think she and Cao Xiaobei are more suitable?...The two experienced and grew up together."

After a short pause, I said again: "There is really a big generation gap between me and her, so she doesn't understand many things I do, and always feels that I am wrong... But how realistic this society is, it There may be only one chance that can be given to you. If you fail to grasp it, you will soon be eliminated to the margins of society. It is really cruel! ... But with Cao Xiaobei, there is no such contradiction ...They grew up in a similar environment, and they are all people who can live their lives as dreams...So, I am quite willing to bless them."

"If you think so, I really don't know how to persuade you."

"No need to persuade, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."

Bai Lu shrugged, expressing regret for my thoughts, and after a while, she asked me, "Then what are you going to do in the future?...I'm talking about emotional matters."

"Wait a little longer...Maybe one day, she will come back."

Bai Lu said with some emotion: "Actually, I really want to know, when it comes to waiting, is it a woman who lasts longer or a man who lasts longer..."

Bai Lu and I looked at each other, and then replied in a low voice: "I don't think there is any gender difference in waiting. How much you love him (her) is how long you will wait for him (her)."

"Looking at it this way, you really love Ye Zhi a lot!"

I was a little dazed, and then I remembered how she stood in the wind, looking into the distance on the viewing platform... It wasn't until Bai Lu spoke again that I came back to my senses.

"After Taozi left, do you still have any news about her?"

"No, I can't contact her anymore, and she doesn't even use her previous WeChat."

"Oh!...I went to see Tie Nan this morning, and he mentioned Tao Zi...I don't even know how to tell him."

Pausing for a while, Bai Lu said again: "This is about to be sentenced, if we let him know the truth at this time, he will definitely go crazy!"

I felt bad, so I lit myself a cigarette...

Unknowingly, we all seem to be standing at a three-way intersection where we have to make choices. It is unknown who will walk well in the future and who will stumble.

……

After chatting with Bai Lu for about forty minutes, we separated, and I was still troubled by killing time, so I just kept walking and stopping in the ancient city, hoping to find some new faces or some interesting things.

Before I knew it, I came to the bed sheet factory again.

Ever since I knew that the woman playing the accordion had moved out of the opposite room, I hadn't looked forward to it.The reason why I stopped here again is because I really like this place, I like the vicissitudes of life it has experienced after years of precipitation, and I also like the shop owners with artistic cells in it, who use a special way to sell themselves. The product.

There seems to be no worries here, because everyone inside is doing things seriously, so when you look at them, you will feel very fulfilled.

Letting out a breath, I lit a cigarette, leaned my back against the brick wall, and looked at the building opposite.

After a while, a man came out of the corridor holding a very large photo frame. The back of the photo frame was facing up, but because I was sitting on the ground, I could vaguely see the woman in the photo from a low angle, with her hands in her arms. holding an accordion.

I quickly got up and walked towards the man.

I stopped him and asked him with a smile: "Dude, is that a painting in your hand? Just ask me, where did you buy it... I think it looks pretty!"

The man looked down, and then replied: "You misread, this is not a painting, it is a photo left by my last tenant... When I moved last time, she couldn't take it away, so she called me to give her Send it over... No, the courier is waiting there."

Just as I was looking over at the courier, the courier brother also came here driving an electric tricycle at the same time.

He seemed to be in a hurry, after taking the photo frame from the man, he stuffed it directly into the compartment of the tricycle, and then locked the door of the compartment while asking the man for his address.

I was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said to the courier brother: "Brother, can you show me this photo frame... The person in the photo looks like a friend of mine that I can no longer contact."

The courier boy looked at me reluctantly.

The landlord looked at me a little surprised because I hadn't told him the truth just now.
