pure white

When the lanterns first came on, Chen Jingyu came late with a look of tiredness. Xiao Huo and I waited for half a quarter of an hour at the agreed place. Seeing her finally arrive at this moment, I breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the heart that has been hanging. Glancing at Xiao Huo, he looked him up and down and looked him up and down.

I teased and said, "Xiao Huo, don't worry, your officer didn't overturn the car on the way."

Xiao Huo didn't dare to refute me, so I was in a better mood. I grinned as if I had succeeded in a prank. In a blink of an eye, I saw Chen Jingyu looking at me indifferently, with sparkles in his eyes.

My smile stuck on my face, and I finally remembered that this was the adjutant molesting her in front of her.

This move is wrong, wrong.I want to explain, but Chen Jingyu just smiled again, walked over and took my hand, and said, "Let's go."

This is actually the default.

I was immediately relieved, and I was a little happy. A thought "I am more important to her than her adjutant" popped up in my mind. status?

Chen Jingyu didn't feel anything, she still dragged me slowly along the stream of people. There were colorful lanterns along the way, and groups of children were playing and chasing along the road with fireworks.

I still have some images of these things, and I vaguely remember seeing, seeing, and playing with those gadgets in their hands in Nanjing when I was a child.

During the holidays, my father bought me firecrackers and lanterns, but we children were not allowed to set off firecrackers, and all I could get were a few firework sticks.Because Chen Jingyu took care of me, she could only play with me wronged every year, but she felt that I was the only one wronged by her, and she never cared.

After a few firework sticks are lit, there will be golden sparks coming out. When they are first lit, they are "sparking", but after a while they become "spraying", with sparks flying around, full of golden light.

I was impatient, and I lit two or three of them together every time, so that the sparks would be bigger, and it was more like the moment when a bullet with a diameter larger than a millimeter was shot out of the barrel.Wu Yingtang once told me that the Browning M1911 has such an effect. That liar, I couldn’t shoot it with the M1911A1. Fortunately, I was too young to steal my father’s gun.

In contrast, Chen Jingyu is better at living than me, and she can see this since she was a child.Every time I light fireworks, she plays with them one by one, and when they are lit, she puts one hand in her pocket and holds the firework stick in the other hand, quietly watching it burn until it goes out.So when mine was burnt out, there was a lot of hers left.In the distance, Wu Yingtang and another group of boys were crackling and throwing firecrackers. I just looked at her eagerly, and she didn’t say anything, just gave me all the rest, and gave me the matches. It snowed a few years A scarf is also included for free.

So I said that she has been kind to me since she was a child.

When I recalled the past, I suddenly felt itchy and wanted to play. After I returned to China, I equipped it with a Browning M1911A1, but the innocence I had when I was a child can no longer go back.

I mentioned it to Chen Jingyu, and Chen Jingyu asked Xiao Huo to buy one for me, which cost almost an ocean.I thought she would live a good life just now, but now it seems that she is also a prodigal.

Chen Jingyu gave me one, and I wanted to pick it up, but she paused and asked, "Do you want one or two or three?"

She also remembers that incident when she was a child, and I blushed, "One, of course one. I am not a child anymore, I still understand that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

After I took the firework stick, she took out the lighter she carried with her from her pocket and lit it for me.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the night sky was lit up with gold. I circled around in the air a few times, and it didn't take long for it to go out.

Chen Jingyu took out another one, "Are you still playing?"

"Play."

I couldn't figure out what to do with the second one.The strange thing is that when I was a child, I was very happy to play these games. Even if Wu Yingtang deliberately played firecrackers on the opposite street to lure me, I think the fireworks are also very interesting.But now it's boring to play.

I threw away the second burnt one, looked at the handful in Chen Jingyu's hand again, and felt a headache: "Why do you buy so much? It's a waste of money. Do you have a lot of military pay?"

Chen Jingyu was caught off guard by my scolding, looked at me in astonishment, then innocently looked down at the big handful in his hand for a long time, and choked out a sentence for a long time: "It's okay to keep it and put it away slowly, anyway, it won't break."

I only care about her money: "You are such a prodigal, who can afford you in the future? There is only so much money in a month, and you spend an ocean to buy a firework. I'm afraid life will be sad in the future."

Chen Jingyu was stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, he immediately spoke eloquently, "The fireworks are bought for you. I won the favor of a beautiful woman, and I will not be hungry in vain in the future."

I was speechless and hesitated for a long time before surrendering.After gaining the upper hand, she smiled, her smile was bright, and she was in a good mood.

Angrily, I pinched her cheeks with my hands, but she was caught off guard, and I caught her straight: "Xiaoxiaoxiao, I'll let you laugh again!" If there is no pain, you can break free as soon as you struggle.

So she was not afraid, and even showed me another smile, which made me want to pinch her hard this time.

Chen Jingyu knew that he had annoyed me, so he immediately diverted my attention, "Don't move, I'll show you something funny."

She said she couldn't move, so naturally I didn't move. In fact, I couldn't be cruel at first. Those in front of me were just pretending.

Chen Jingyu took a firework stick and gave me the rest.I was curious to see what she was going to do. After she lit it, she immediately made gestures in the air.

While gesturing, he asked me, "Did you see anything?"

I shook my head: "Flies dancing?"

She patted the brim of my hat and lowered it straight down. The brim of the hat covered my eyes. I raised my hand and straightened it up and stared at her: "Why are you still wearing your hands?"

Chen Jingyu took another one, squinted at me lightly, "Look carefully this time."

I widened my eyes and saw two firework sticks in a row before I could see something: "Lu An?"

Chen Jingyu said "hmm", "I'm not stupid after all."

I could only roll my eyes at her.

After the fireworks sticks were set off during our slapstick, I walked a few more steps, and I saw a troupe in front of me had already set up the stage in advance.

I was curious and wanted to join in the fun, so I pulled Chen Jingyu forward with my backhand.

It was probably because we stood out in the crowd in military uniforms, and people around us looked back at us frequently, which made us squeeze to the front and get closer to the stage, so we stopped and concentrated on watching the show.

In fact, Chen Jingyu was the only one watching the show.I went abroad when I was very young, and what I watched and listened to when I was young was mostly "Carmen", "Salome", Haydn, Mozart, etc., so I can't understand these classical Chinese operas. Do not understand its artistic conception.

After listening to it for a while, I lost interest in staying any longer because I really didn't understand and the people around me were staring at me frequently, but Chen Jingyu still had no intention of leaving. I couldn't bear to interrupt her, so I reluctantly stayed with her. she listens.

All I could hear was babbling, the actor was dressed in classic clothes, he was clearly a big man but he was painting some rouge and watercolors while pinching his throat.

I couldn't understand the meaning or the libretto, I just felt dull.

Chen Jingyu explained in a low voice next to my ear: "They are singing "Green Frost Sword", a classic play of the Cheng school. It is about a rich man who fell in love with Shen Xuezhen, the wife of a scholar. Shen Xuezhen had no choice but to pretend to marry, and when they got married, she stabbed the rich man and the matchmaker to death with her family's Qingshuang sword, and took their heads to the scholar's grave to commit suicide."

It was a tragedy. I frowned and asked, "Why do you want to sacrifice your husband? Doesn't her husband want her to live?"

"I want to die, I am afraid that it will be hard to live."

"But even if the heart dies, the other party bought my life, how can I just die? That would be too sorry for the other party."

Chen Jingyu paused for a moment, probably choked by my unreasonable words. The people next to me listened to our conversation and said with a smile: "The little girl doesn't understand love. , if one person is dead, how can the other person live on the sidelines?"

I muttered: "What fallacy, it's just some old feudal thinking!"

The man turned his head to refute me, but after seeing the military uniforms on us clearly, his expression changed instantly, and his words changed: "Oh, sir, don't take what I, what I said... ..."

I hummed, ignored him, and asked Chen Jingyu again: "Are you right?"

Chen Jingyu turned her head to look at me without saying a word, the scattered light from the torch melted in her eyes, and I saw flames jumping in her pupils.

After a long time, she gave a soft "um" and said, "Yes, it makes sense."

"Look, I'll say it" all over my face, and I almost wrote the word "satisfied" on my face.In a blink of an eye, she saw that Chen Jingyu was not very interested. She closed her smile and frowned, with half of her eyes hidden in the shadow under the brim of her hat. She didn't know what she was thinking or remembered.

I was going to hold her hand, but she pulled her back after I took it, but she let go of it just for a moment, and the hand that took me just now pressed against my head, and said with a slight smile: "So in the future If you encounter this kind of thing, you must live on, and you can live well by yourself."

I thought her words were unlucky, and I was thinking about whether I could do it if I changed myself, so I didn't reply to her.Chen Jingyu didn't want my answer either, she patted my head with her hand, and could feel her softness through the hat.

I couldn't think of an answer for a while, so I stood where I was and continued to listen to the play with Chen Jingyu. It wasn't until the end of the show that I heard the singing on the stage, "I don't care about the road and rush to the grave. The sky is long".

It is a grave and it belongs to Huangquan.When a person dies, he loses everything. His soul will neither ascend to heaven nor enter the earth. It is just a lie to oneself.

I trembled in the crowd for no reason, and reached out to touch my chest.

Unlucky, unlucky.
