Stubborn illness

"Hi, hello, where are you?"

"Where did you see us?"

"Online."

"Oh, we are in XXXX."

"How far is the train station?"

"Take XX bus, nine stops, get off at XXX, call me."

"Are there many people?"

"Night is a little more than day, and Sunday is a little more than usual. Do you want to come?"

"Is anyone there now?"

"Yes, not many, there seem to be five people, are you coming?"

"What age group?"

"More than 30, more than 40, and one more than 50."

"Oh, I'll take a look first, thank you!"

.....................................

"Hello, hello."

"Are you there yet?"

"Yes, there is an overpass in front of me, and a community next to me. I am standing beside a piece of Evergreen, wearing black clothes."

"Wait a minute, I'll be right out."

The sun was setting, and the asphalt road was busy with all kinds of vehicles. The green area of ​​the community was planted with various vegetation, but it was peaceful. I waited for five or six minutes in fear, and saw a person, 6 meters eight, looking around all the way, feeling apprehensive , walked towards me, approached, picked a leaf, swayed: "Is that you?"

"Who are you? I called just now."

We seem to be speaking some code words that are commonly used in the Tao, as if we are conducting a drug deal, with surreptitious words and deeds.

"follow me."

Stick the lock card, tick!The iron door opened, boom!It was closed again, and I followed him, stepping on the stairs, the first floor, the second floor, and the third floor. cold.

"Oh, can I go in?" I stood by the door on the second floor, dumbly.

"Pay first." There was a simple desk by the door, and he opened the drawer, took out a key, and put it on the desk.

"how much is it?"

"20 yuan, 30 yuan overnight."

"Oh." I took out a fifty.

"Spending the night here?"

"Not here, take a look first."

"You will be charged 20 yuan first, and if you stay overnight, you will be charged another 10 yuan. Now, here is your key. There is a row of lockers over there. You can lock your clothes in it. Keep your valuables by yourself. Go in."

"Ah."

I took the key he gave me and went in. There was a metal locker on the left, like a locker in a supermarket, one by one, numbered, some were locked, and some were open.There was a long bench on the ground, a white towel was lying on the bench, and some inferior slippers beside the bench seemed to be arranged neatly.

I walked a few steps inside, and found a rectangular house about [-] to [-] square meters. It looked like a bathhouse in the north, with five, six, seven or eight showers lined up inside. A naked person stood in the middle of the house. , despite the rushing water flowing from head to toe, his smooth back turned his back to me, he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned around and faced me, his smooth belly, he was in his thirties, I didn’t look carefully, I turned my face away Go shy?reserved?timid?

Cautiously moved forward, "Hehe, it's quite big." Caught off guard, someone picked it up.The man was tall and big, with a dignified appearance and a square face. When I realized it, he had already walked a few meters away.

Carefully move forward again, stop, there is a simple bathroom on the right hand side, and a small wooden house next to it, it's stabbing!There was a special sound, like a scoop of cold water being splashed on a red-hot iron bar.

Follow the sound to enter, it turned out to be a dry steam room, wooden structure, trapezoidal benches, two floors, two people sitting on it, one lying down, three naked, immersed in a certain artistic conception. Surprised, just a little surprised, as if asking: "Why is this person still well-dressed when he comes in here?"

I stopped, took a look at them, at the pile of red glowing charcoal fire in the corner, stabbing!There was another special sound, a puff of pale smoke, coming out, covering the whole small space with a layer of smog that is both real and illusory, hot and sweaty, I took another look at them and stepped back out .

Towards the direction where the tall and big figure just disappeared, through three narrow rooms, a piece of floral curtain hangs, is there a hole in it?

I stood in front of the door, moving forward and backward, hesitating.

"Is this the first time?" A thin arm opened the curtain, and a thin body got out. Seeing me standing by the door in a daze, asked loudly.

"Well, just here." I took a step back and whispered.

"There's a video inside to watch, go in."

"Oh."

The man looked at me carefully, and took out the phone from his pocket, "Hey, hey, sell it, it doesn't matter if it's cheaper, sell it, now the whole chili market is like this, the unit price has dropped, there is no way, you have to lose money Let go!" He obviously didn't speak Mandarin or Cantonese, but I could understand it, and it was a dialect very similar to my hometown dialect.

He walked away, and I approached the floral curtain, opened it, and went in. Inside was a hall with four large beds, and an old-fashioned Sony TV at the front, and a video was being played on the screen. Three or four people sat on the TV. In front, watching with relish, the tall figure was also sitting in it, seeing me go in, they turned their heads, and then turned their heads, staring at the TV screen.

I stood far away and watched for a few minutes. A few naked foreigners repeated the same actions over and over again. I felt boring. I backed out and took a stroll. The second floor, That's about it.

"Hello, where can I take a shower?" I came to the front desk where I bought the ticket just now, and asked knowingly.

"Inside, next to the locker."

"Oh, can you take me there?" Just look at how cold you are.

"Come on, follow me." Maybe he also belongs to the more passive and reserved type.

At this time, there was no one in the shower room, so I unloaded my clothes, put on shower gel, and washed them carefully, replaying the scenes I saw just now like a movie in my mind, the naked body in the dry steam room, the limbs on the TV screen Wandering, and that tall figure, that warm accent...

Letting the rushing water rush down, I can't tell what I feel in my heart, joy, excitement, darkness, obscurity, is it settled?drifting?It's like the noise on the main road compared to the tranquility of the green belt in the community, like the setting sun outside the iron gate compared to the energy-saving lights inside the iron gate, just like being confident versus being unreasonable...
