Sad autumn

King, Rubik's Cube Building, Shao Zhen still remembers the episode of Black Cat Sheriff who ate her husband's mantis. Tuchun remembered that when he was a child, he often called one ear for one eye.

Then they fell asleep.

Tuchun dreamed of Di Qiu.

He kept dreaming about all kinds of possibilities between him and Di Qiu.

He never saw Di Qiu again until his death.He and Di Qiu met by chance at the gate of No. [-] Middle School, he was rejected by Di Qiu, he was with Di Qiu, he broke up with Di Qiu, they quarreled, fought coldly, and fought to the death.Laughing, arguing, arguing, crying, mocking each other, loathing each other, hating each other, loving each other, hugging, kissing, stroking each other's neck, back, and arm.Each other lit cigarettes, stared, sparks flew.

Tuchun woke up.Shao Zhen fell asleep with her back to him.Tuchun got out of bed, put on his coat and shoes, took the key and went out.

He rented a public bicycle at the rental point on Shishan Road. After thinking about it for a while, he rode to Binhe Road.He passed the Binhe Road subway station and saw the place where he used to live from a distance. Higher buildings were being built across the road. In the middle of the night, only construction vehicles were still speeding along the road.

The wind was filled with the smell of soil, and there were many small stones on the ground. Tuchun was stumbling on his ride. When he came to the foot of the Heshan Bridge, Tuchun stopped for a while, took a rest, and rode up to the top of the bridge in one go.

The water in the canal looked thick and greasy in the dark night. The cargo ships and pleasure boats were at rest. There was wind but no waves, blowing away the heat from Tuchun’s body. Tuchun looked around panting.

The imperial monument stood tall in the deep night, it blocked the Hanshan Temple, and Tuchun could only see a pointed golden dome.

He still doesn't know which emperor's imperial pen the inscription came from, and he can't remember when this inscription was erected in front of Hanshan Temple.He can't tell the story of the city he has lived in for 30 years, or the city he has lived in for more than ten years.

Tuchun slid down the bridge. He passed Sanyuan New Village, rode on Jinmen Road, crossed Stone Road, and Changxu Road. He rode and rode without stopping for a moment. The wind was so loud that it seemed that many people were fighting with What he said, what he said, he couldn't hear clearly.

He came to Renmin Road and Leqiao.

Sanitation workers were sweeping the dust from one side of the street to the other.

Tuchun was riding sloppily. He went against the road and ran through a red light. There seemed to be a big broom in the sky that swept him from one side of the street to the other, and then back to this side from the other side.

He turned onto Park Road.

He stopped at the gate of Shi No. [-] Middle School.

Its daybreak.

The sycamore tree is too green.

There are already cicadas making small chirps to spy on Xia Tian, ​​short, anxious, and eager to try.

A security guard came out of the security room. He looked at Tuchun, but Tuchun didn't move. The security guard lit a cigarette.

Tuchun stepped on the bicycle again and rode away.He found a rental place and returned the car, walked to Yichangfu, bought two vegetable buns, and jumped on a bus that was coming in with the hot buns in his pocket.There are other people eating breakfast in the car, the girl is drinking pumpkin porridge, the boy is eating omelette and fritters, they are eating at the same time while looking at their mobile phones, the children with schoolbags are also playing with their mobile phones, the old man with a vegetable basket is Wen Sheng and the children Spoken Mandarin: "Stop looking at your phone."

"Good for the eyes."

The child muttered: "It's so annoying."

No one spoke in the car anymore, and Tuchun heard the background music of the game that the children were playing, as if they were having fun.

When the bus passed Sanyuan, Tuchun was very thirsty, so he went down to find a breakfast stall and bought a bag of soybean milk. Next to the breakfast stall was a real estate agency, and the door had already opened, and a girl came out of it, yawning. Paste advertising leaflets on the glass.

Tuchun stood and watched for a while, a tall man came out of the agency, and greeted Tuchun enthusiastically: "Looking for a house? Come in and have a look, we have a lot of houses."

The male manager was face to face with Tuchun. Tuchun wanted to walk away, but couldn't help but look at his eyes, nose, and Adam's apple.

The male manager took the opportunity to hand over a business card, warmly pulled Tuchun's arm, and led him into "I love my home".

"My surname is Gou, hello, hello." The male manager said to Tuchun with a smile.

Tuchun choked on the soy milk and coughed. The male manager kindly patted him on the back and said in a low voice, "Long time no see, Tuchun."

Tuchun was still coughing, and squeezed his eyes to look at Broker Gou. The light in the store was brighter than outside, and Tuchun could see clearly that Broker Gou was an old dog.

The old dog poured a glass of water for Tuchun, politely opened a chair, asked him to sit down, and said, "Are you looking for a house? Are you living with your family now?"

Tuchun managed to recover, and asked the old dog, "Do you have a trash can here?"

The old dog stretched out his hand, and Tuchun handed over the soy milk bag. The old dog walked around the counter, sat opposite Tuchun, and said very politely, "Where do you want to find a house?"

Tuchun looked at the listing information on the wall and on the table, and said, "Have you been working here?"

"That's right." The old dog took out a few rental advertisements and showed them to Tuchun one by one. "In the new district, I think these are good ones. They are very close to the subway and bus station."

The old dog and Tuchun got very close. The old dog was sprayed with musk-smelling perfume. One pair of eyes kept blinking at Tuchun. Tuchun sneezed, covering his nose and mouth. mouth.The old dog looked at the girl who was still posting advertisements outside, and said calmly to Tuchun: "Okay, you can laugh if you want!"

Tuchun didn't make a sound, just shook his head.The old dog sneered twice, patted his suit, put his arms on his feet, leaned back, turned his right hand in a circle in the air, stared at his fingernails, and glanced at Tuchun again, squinting his eyes and said: "laugh Is that enough? Ah, this is the first time I’ve seen me in men’s clothing? I can’t stand it either, the crotch is so tight, I can’t bend it, I want to make money.”

Tuchun said, "I'm not smiling, it's just that I've been walking around here before, and I've never seen you."

The old dog smiled, slapped the table, leaned back, rested his chin with one hand, and said, "Then we are destined for each other."

Tuchun also laughed, the old dog poked his head and asked him, "Hey, what happened to your hair?"

Tuchun asked the old dog: "You two are the only ones in the store? The agency has gone to work so early?"

The old dog rolled his eyes: "Your topic is too reluctant," but he still answered honestly, "Is the ethnic group most concerned about buying and selling houses so early?" He rushed to Tuchun. With his chin up, Tuchun looked out, as expected, two old ladies with vegetable baskets were studying the advertisements pasted on the glass, the girl chatted with them enthusiastically, everyone’s lips touched up and down quickly, and parted .

The old dog knocked on the table and asked Tuchun, "Have you seen Haohao recently?"

Tuchun was taken aback: "Have you not seen him for a long time?"

The old dog was stunned and tongue-tied, before he wanted to speak, the female agent rushed in, threw herself on the counter and pointed outside, and said to the old dog: "Brother Dog, the Lian family is here to put up a sign again!!"

Tuchun and the old dog looked out together, and saw a row of three male agents in green ties placing a billboard with the words "Lianjia" in front of the door of "I love my home".The eyes of the two old ladies who were talking about I love my home listing advertisement were immediately attracted to them. The three male agents were very happy, and surrounded them handing out leaflets and helping to carry the grocery basket.

The female agent was flustered, and anxiously said to the old dog: "Ah, do you want to call Manager Pang?? Or call the police??"

Tuchun was puzzled and said, "Don't call the police..."

The old dog patted the female agent and comforted her: "Don't panic, don't go out yet, tell Manager Pang, I'll go and have a look."

After speaking, he stood up, buttoned up his suit jacket, and walked out.He still didn't forget to tell the female agent: "Show this guest some single apartment listings in the new district, treat him well."

The female agent glanced at Tuchun, smiled with him, first made a phone call, and then came to strike up a conversation with Tuchun, she kept stroking her hair, and asked softly: "Sir, do you want to see the one near the subway station or the bus station? "

Tuchun said: "Two bedrooms and one living room, it's near Shishan Road."

The female agent clattered through the advertisement brochures, looking out from time to time, as if she was facing a big enemy, she was very nervous.Tuchun also comforted her: "It's okay, it's just competition among peers, don't worry, find it slowly."

The female agent looked up at him, her ears were a little red, Tuchun smiled, and the female agent also smiled, touching her cheek, before saying the word "that", her complexion changed suddenly, she hurriedly grabbed the phone and pressed Say three times: "Hey, 110? I want to call the police!"

Tuchun looked outside, and at some point, two young men in suits from my love my family came outside, plus an old dog, and started fighting with three green ties from Lian's family.Those selling early pushed the stall farther away, and those who bought early automatically gave up some seats. Several big men fought fiercely on the sidewalk. Some of the onlookers took out their mobile phones, and some were eating rice and waiting for the bus.Tuchun rushed out, shouting: "Don't fight, don't fight!" and squeezed into the melee crowd.

No one of the six vigorous young people would listen to him. Tuchun's ears were full of obscenities, his fists were flying around, he was sprayed with saliva many times, and he was punched twice. Tuchun tried his best to persuade a green man Tie, circled the old dog again, dragged him out, the old dog was still arguing with people.

"Fuck you! You don't even look at whose territory you pee!!"

"Fuck you! Get the hell out of you!!"

"Fuck you!" The old dog's face was smeared, and he wanted to rush up. Tu Chunsi grabbed him, pushed away the green tie that was scolding him, and lay between the two of them, saying: " Alright!! Don’t say a few words!”

The green tie blushed and spat at Tuchun: "Which fucking onion are you??!"

The old dog bumped into Tuchun, and stretched out his hand to grab the face of the green tie: "He's here to rent a house! Fuck you! He's not letting anyone do business!!"

Not to be outdone, the green tie stretched out his hand to catch the old dog. Tuchun really couldn't separate the two of them. He was caught in the middle and suffered a lot. The rubber band of his hair was torn off, and someone took the opportunity to keep pulling his hair.Annoyed, Tuchun gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, he forcibly separated the old dog and the green tie, and each of them gave them a punch.The green tie fell into the other two melee crowds, and the old dog fell into the flower bed. Everyone was stunned and all stared at Tuchun.Tuchun stood with his hands down, looked at the green tie, and at the old dog. He wiped his face, lowered his head, looked for it, and picked up the rubber band that fell by the side of the trash can.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed, and the female agent poked her head out of my house, and said timidly: "First... sir... Lijinyuan has a set for rent... Would you like to come in and take a look..."

Tuchun sat down on the flower bed without making a sound, trying to re-tie his hair with rubber bands.The two green ties lifted up the green ties on the ground, and the old dog got up by himself, and sat by the flower bed, panting heavily.

The rubber band could not be recovered, and it was useless, so Tuchun clutched it discouragedly, while Yuan Gui sat motionless.

At this moment, at the corner of the intersection, two bicycles leisurely rode over. The two riders were wearing uniforms, one was Mao Tou, and the other was Xiao Wang.

"Give it up, let it all out, don't look at it, don't look at it, there's nothing to see." Xiao Wang Dan dropped his hand, waved the crowd away, rode on the sidewalk, stopped the car, glanced over, and said, "It's over. Huh? I have nothing to do to exercise early in the morning, right?"

Maotou also stopped the car and looked over. He and Tuchun saw each other, staring at each other. Tuchun was embarrassed. Maotou winked at Xiaowang and then at Tuchun.

Xiao Wang hurried forward, pointed to the overturned Lianjia sign, and asked, "Who put this sign here?"

After hearing the words, several real estate agents immediately rushed up and surrounded Xiao Wang.Tuchun and Maotou walked aside to talk.

Maotou sent out cigarettes to Tuchun, and asked, "What's the matter with the Nang?" (What's the matter with you?)

Tuchun sighed: "Do you want to talk about it? I want to see how the rented house is. When I meet En Duo and fight each other, let's go and persuade him. Let's see, my hair, I don't know what to do. It hurts to pull it off." (Don't mention it, I came to see the rented house or something, and when they were fighting, I went to persuade them to fight. You see, I don't know how much hair was pulled off by anyone. It hurts me to death. up.)

Maotou laughed, pointed behind him, and then pointed at Tuchun: "Hiss is a bit like Chen Haonan in Causeway Bay." (You are a bit like Chen Haonan in Causeway Bay.)

Tuchun smiled wryly, ate cigarettes, and also ate them, flicked the ash, looked at the road, and said, "When I was an auxiliary policeman, Ge Chenguang Naan was so active when I saw Xielang Naan?" (How did you do when you were an auxiliary policeman? Didn't I see you being so active?)

Tuchun smiled, but said nothing.At this time, Xiao Wang ran over and said to Maotou: "Persuade Tut, Ni Nanghang? Go away?" (Persuade away, how about us, go back?)

Tuchun took a look, and saw that three green ties were tying billboards to a battery car.I love that my home leaves the two glass front doors fully open.

Maotou said: "Hey Ge Hanning, have you forgotten?" (Do you remember who this is?)

Xiao Wang and Tu Chun looked at each other, Tu Chun smiled, and Xiao Wang couldn't hide his surprise: "Yi! Your hair is so long that it's so long!" (Why is your hair so long!)

Tuchun said: "I am... Yizai Tongluowan Kangbazi." (I am now Tongluowan Kangbazi.)

Maotou snorted, and Xiao Wang laughed.Maotou looked at Tuchun and said, "Hey, I'm going to the hospital." (Do you want to go to the hospital?)

When Tuchun touched his face, he felt some blood, and it was really painful, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry."

Xiao Wang said: "Either go with Ni, there is some alcohol cotton in the police station, wipe it off." (Or go back with us, there is some alcohol cotton in the police station, wipe it off.)

Just at this point, the old dog came to find Tuchun, took a picture of him, and said to him: "Let's go, let's go to the hospital together."

Tuchun said, "I won't go, it's nothing."

The old dog's eyes were wide open, and he dragged Tuchun to get up: "Don't bother me!"

Mao Tou looked at the two of them, and called Xiao Wang: "Ge Ni, let's go, I'd better go to the hospital." He said goodbye to Tu Chun: "Next time, I will give you an award for being a righteous citizen and being a good citizen."

Tuchun laughed, shook his head, and sighed again.Maotou and Xiao Wang gradually went away, the old dog pulled Tuchun to the battery car, Tuchun said: "You can go, I will go back."

The old dog patted the cushion, looked at him coldly, and made no sound.Tuchun still said: "It's really fine."

The old dog pulled his hand: "I'm begging you, Master Tu, just accompany me to the hospital for emergency treatment, okay!"

Tuchun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to sit on it.On the way to the hospital, the old dog suddenly said, "You know that Haohao was also sent to the hospital a while ago?"

"Ah?" Tuchun was surprised, and his voice was inevitably high. After speaking, he covered the corner of his torn mouth, shivering in pain.

The old dog said: "Hey, the band reorganized and found a new lead singer, man..."

The wind was a bit strong, and it rushed straight to the person's face. The old dog didn't say any more, but Tuchun nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

The two went to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University nearby, but they couldn't find a parking place outside, so the old dog had to push the car to the garage of the inpatient department. While locking the car, he said to Tuchun, "Haohao, it's also delivered to you. He came from the Second Affiliated Hospital, that guy has an older brother. Haohao got five stitches on his nose."

Tuchun asked him, "Are you in the emergency room?"

The old dog raised his head to look in the mirror, stroked his cheek, worried: "I won't lose my appearance, will I?"

Tuchun smiled and shook his head: "It's not possible."

He and the old dog went to the emergency building. Along the way, whenever he saw something reflective, the old dog must stop and take a photo. When he arrived at the emergency room, the nurse sent him away after seeing the old dog, saying: "The next door. Buy some alcohol cotton from the pharmacy and wipe it off yourself."

The old dog refused, and grabbed the nurse: "No, look, my place is cracked and bleeding!"

The nurse didn't agree: "You're fine, really, alcohol cotton doesn't cost much."

Tuchun persuaded: "Let's go, there are so many people here, you don't even know when the queue will be."

As he finished speaking, a man screaming for pain just pushed in through the door. The right half of his body was bloody and bloody. The nurse couldn't control the old dog anymore, and ran away with the stretcher.

The corridors of the emergency room are full of people with sallow complexions, described as lethargic, and sickly playing with and looking at their mobile phones.

The old dog followed Tuchun out.

They went back to the garage of the inpatient department, and the old dog asked Tuchun, "Ah, do you want to have lunch together?"

Tuchun said, "No, I still have something to do."

The old dog said: "Ah, I want to see you off?"

"No need." Tuchun looked forward, "I'll take the bus and go back."

The old dog patted Tuchun's arm with a smile, arched him, and said affectionately: "You don't have to be so restrained. Oh, I'm free to contact you. Do you have my phone number?"

Tuchun touched his arm, smiled along with him, and nodded.The old dog said again: "Tonight we karaoke, do you want to be together? You all know each other, that's..."

When he said this, Tuchun raised his eyes and saw a short man with a familiar face entering the garage. He hurriedly left the old dog and ran towards the man, saying: "I saw a friend, let's talk about it next time." , goodbye!"

The old dog called him several times, but Tuchun ignored him. He stopped in front of the short man, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, hello! Long time no see!"

The short man was confused for a while. He tugged at the one-piece uniform on his body, raised his eyebrows, and looked around: "You...know me?"

Tuchun glanced at the old dog. The old dog hadn't left yet. He sat on the battery car and lit a cigarette, looking at him quietly.Tuchun hurriedly said to the man: "You don't remember? We met at the police station."

The man thought hard, and Tuchun said, "You're the one who lost his wallet for three yuan, right?"

The man slapped his forehead and pointed at Tuchun: "Oh! Oh! You belong to that police station!!"

Tuchun saw again that the old dog had finally left. Tuchun heaved a sigh of relief, looked at the man and the insulated lunch box in the basket of his car, and asked hesitantly, "Are... are your family members sick?"

The man shook his head violently, and said, "No! No! This is a long story, and I..."

Another person wanted to enter the garage, so the man parked the car, took the lunch box, and walked out with Tuchun, saying as he walked, "Master Gao, do you remember?"

Tu Chun said: "Is it the decorator who bumped into you?"

The man's expression suddenly became serious. He walked slowly, and Tuchun also slowed down. The man said, "That's him. The son of Master Gao gambled in the mahjong parlor and borrowed usury, and now he doesn't know how to run." Where are you going?" The man looked at Tuchun, sighed, and continued, "Master Gao is not easy, so I come here every day to take care of some food for his wife..."

"Ah? What happened to Master Gao?"

"Uremia." The man lowered his head, "I heard from the doctor that he will live in a few days."

Tuchun didn't ring, and when he reached the entrance of the inpatient department, he stopped.The man said, "You want to go up and have a look?"

Tuchun made a gesture: "I'll eat a cigarette."

The man nodded: "Oh, then I'll go up first, I have to go to work, see you later."

The man walked into the building of the inpatient department, and Tuchun looked at him for a while, then took out the cigarette and lighter, walked around to the back of the building, found a secluded place and lit a cigarette.There is a small garden behind him. When he was eating a cigarette, he always vaguely seemed to hear someone crying in the garden. Tuchun walked away, and he walked through a corridor. The smell of disinfectant spread from the room to the outside. In the hospital There were people coming in and out, many people were smoking, some started to cry while smoking, the ambulance drove in and brought down a dying person, some people followed in a hurry, and a stretcher was carried out, carrying a white car In the van, the throat of the person on the stretcher was opened and the trachea was inserted. The person was motionless and his eyes were tightly closed. Some men and some women followed the motionless person into the vehicle quietly.

Tuchun came out of the hospital.He went to Carrefour and waited for the bus, but the bus was not coming. He suddenly changed his mind. He went to the supermarket to buy a bicycle, bought a lock, rode the bicycle home, moved it upstairs, and put it in the on the balcony.

Summer is coming, but at night Tuchun dreamed of autumn.

He dreamed that the ginkgo trees on Daoqian Street were turning yellow. He dreamed that Di Qiu passed under the tree. He beat the ginkgo with a long, thin bamboo pole. The golden leaves were mixed together, and the beige ginkgo fell to the ground. , the thin shell is cracked, and the green pulp is turned out, which stinks.

Di Qiu was still beating ginkgo, holding a recording pen high in the other hand, and he was talking to Tu Chun.

He said: Tuchun, listen to the sound of ginkgo falling.

He also learned that voice.

Po Luo Luo.Po Luo Luo.

He still laughs.The laughter was sly and clever.

Tuchun woke up and sat up.

Shao Zhen also got up.Tuchun looked at him and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Shao Zhen asked him: "Are you going out again?"

His voice was exceptionally clear.

Tuchun said, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

Shao Zhen sat up, he turned on the bedside lamp, the light was very dazzling, Tuchun sat on his side.

Shao Zhen asked him: "When you meet Di Qiu, will your life be better?"

His voice was still calm.

Tuchun froze. He scratched his hair and ears. After a long time, he said, "I don't know."

There are so many things he doesn't know.

He didn't know whether the polar bear's heart was as poisonous to humans as the liver, and he didn't know how many carbonated drinks had been repackaged.He doesn't know what lies beyond the universe, he doesn't know if there are aliens in the world, he doesn't know the potential of the human brain, he doesn't know the limits of people, and he doesn't know why some people live so well at a young age. Yes, there will be car accidents, sudden illnesses, tumors in the body, viruses in the blood, liver failure, heart failure, throats will be cut open, and all kinds of tubes will be inserted in the body. Not human.

He didn't know why some people disappeared for no reason, without prior notice, and without follow-up reminders.He thought, God must be a magician, he is his only audience, and Di Qiu is the best magic trick he made for him.He doesn't reveal the secret, he forces himself to decipher it.
