Me: "Uncle Ba Yao. Have you ever done anything against your will in your life?"

He: "I have done it. But I have no choice but to do it. I can tell you that I have four sisters in my family. I am the eldest. There is a younger brother and two younger sisters. The younger brother used to be a village cadre, but he was later recruited. Now it seems

Which working committee is the deputy secretary of? My two sisters are far away from each other. I have also been in the society for these years. I have underestimated many things. To tell the truth, in many critical moments and critical moments of mine,

The people who help me and give me a hand are not relatives. Because relatives also have difficulties with relatives, and their lives are not easy. Everyone has his own life. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. You

I saw it too, isn’t your cousin very beautiful?”

Me: "Yeah, it's very beautiful."

He: "A beautiful woman will attract many men's attention. Then why do you hold her heart captive?"

Me: "I don't know."

He: "I used to think it was 'love', but later I thought it was 'money'."

Me: "So, what now?"

He: "I don't know anymore."

Me: "These are far away from me. I can't even ask for food. What else can I think about?"

He said: "Young man, don't be pessimistic. Aren't all people living in this world looking for food? But if it is just for food, then what is the meaning of life? There is no such thing as a big world.

What? Look at those sparrows, those mice, and even those insects and ants, which one of them has not asked for a bite to eat? But, people say: people die for money, and birds die for food. If this society wants to have a mouth to eat,

It’s easy to survive. But if you want to pursue something and struggle a little, it’s not that easy.”

I buried my head and listened to him without saying a word.

He took a sip of wine and said: "Don't be too pessimistic. There are still many good people in this world. If you definitely want to go this way, I am willing to help you. I will help you get the real news."

I won’t talk about it until you take the exam. If you can’t afford it, I suggest you don’t stay here. Go out and have a good time while you are young and have no worries. Go and take a good look at the outside world. There will be bread.

, there will be milk, and the mother-in-law will also have it."

Me: "Uncle Ba Yao, can you really help me?"

He: "I can really help you. You don't have to doubt this."

Me: "But I don't have this." I also imitated his gesture of counting money.

He: "I know you don't have this. I didn't ask you to get this either."

We clinked the bottles again and drank the rest of the beer in one go. He went to open the wine again. After opening it, we each picked up another bottle to drink.

Me: "Uncle Ba Yao, although I'm a little numb, I still know that it's not easy to help me with this favor. It's not that difficult. Even if you can't help me with this favor, it doesn't matter. With your words, I have already

I got a lot of comfort.”

He: "Three days. I promise to get the news for you within three days."

Although I don’t know what the result will be, from Hu Bayao’s firm eyes and tone, I feel that he is not lying to me. Although I still can’t figure out why he wants to help me, but when I am so helpless,

Sometimes, I am still very touched to have such a person cheering me up and encouraging me.

I stood up, bent down, held the bottle with both hands, and touched his bottle: "Uncle Yao, I respect you." After that, I straightened my waist, raised my head, and drank the bottle of beer in one breath.

Drink.

When he saw me drinking, he stood up, raised his head, and drank his bottle of beer in one go.

I drank too much and felt the smell of alcohol rising straight up. I was afraid that if I got drunk, I would be embarrassed during the live broadcast. Before the alcohol was fully recovered, I quickly thanked Hu Ba Yao and walked back.

By this time, the rain had stopped. I was wearing rain boots and holding an umbrella. My face was red and my ears were red, and I was walking a little unsteadily. No matter how I looked at it, I felt a little funny and a little funny.

I met passers-by by chance, and I vaguely seemed to see them pointing. However, I couldn't care about that much anymore. I just wanted to go back quickly. As I became anxious, I walked faster. I felt

The sound of "dong dong, dong dong" kept ringing in my head, and the surrounding houses and trees began to rotate and flutter...

With great difficulty, I finally pushed open the door of my courtyard. I ran to the hut and vomited violently. The sky was dark and the earth was dark with vomiting, and stars were shining in my eyes...

My brothers quickly scooped me a ladle of water. They took the water and rinsed their mouths. They came out, washed their faces, and then lay down on the broken sofa to rest.

Xiaojie: "Brother, why did you drink like this? Did you drink a lot of wine?"

Me: "It's okay. I didn't drink too much."

Brother Jun: "Brother, have you eaten? There is still some leftover rice. My second brother and I boiled it and ate it. If you haven't eaten, I'll cook you some noodles."

Me: "I don't want to eat. I'm going to take a rest. Leave me alone and go do your homework."

Xiaojie: "Brother, why don't I help you go to bed and lie down to make yourself more comfortable."

I nodded and struggled hard to stand up. My legs actually refused to control me, and I still couldn't stand up. Xiaojie and Brother Jun quickly helped me up.

We stumbled to the blockhouse. We had to climb a two-story ladder. This was really a "big challenge".

Xiaojie: "Brother, can you still climb the ladder?"

Me: "I can climb it, I can climb it."

Xiaojie: "Then you climb in front, and I will help you from behind. You must hold on to the ladder tightly. Don't fall down."

With great difficulty, I finally climbed up to the second floor. Xiaojie helped me cover myself with the quilt. Brother Jun had already filled me with a bottle of water.

I said: "You guys go down quickly and do your homework."

Xiaojie: "Brother, please take your time and rest. I'll bring you the urine bucket."

…

I woke up in the middle of the night with a severe headache and unbearable hunger. I got up and cooked some noodles, made the noodle soup, and added some salt and soy sauce. It tasted delicious. "Zi Liu...Zi Liu...", even noodles.

I brought the soup and ate it all. I washed the pots and dishes. I went to the toilet and looked at the time. Oh, it’s two-thirty in the morning. It’s still early before dawn. Let’s go back to sleep.

After eating and drinking enough, I felt a lot more energetic. I lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep for a while. I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to find someone to talk to. However, in this dark night, apart from myself, I was still myself.

.

Close your eyes and lie down.

It was late at night, and although my head hurt a little, my head was still wide awake, but I just couldn't fall asleep.

It's really not good to drink on an empty stomach. It's even worse to drink on an empty stomach. I'd better try not to drink in the future...

I wonder how Miki is doing. What is the outside world like? Does she have a boyfriend? Well, I’m afraid she should have one, right? Thinking of Miki, I couldn’t help but get up again. I turned on the light and left her alone.

Find the letter to me and read it.

The envelope has been pressed flat by the book. Gently take out the thin letterhead and silently read every word on it. "Ichiki: I'm leaving. I originally planned to go see the stars with you tonight. But my family

You came to pick me up. I'm in a hurry and have to leave soon. I can only leave a lot of things to say until later. My birthday is October 2nd, according to the Gregorian calendar. I think you are actually not happy. You seem to have a lot of things on your mind.

I can't help you with anything. Take care of yourself and remember that I will miss you from afar, Miki."

Sigh. I am indeed unhappy. Miki, are you happy in the distance? Have you forgotten all about me? It doesn’t matter if you forget. What is there worth remembering about me? I haven’t treated you to a meal.

I have never bought you a glass of wine, never given you a piece of clothing, never bought you a pair of shoes, never went to a movie with you, and never went to see the stars hand in hand with you...

...Too many no, too many regrets. They can only be buried in the bottom of my heart and can only be poured out in the wind...

Unknowingly, my tears fell down. My heart was really painful. I wanted to alleviate this illusory and lingering longing. Yes, it was missing. I didn’t want to think about it. I lit the lighter and lit it.

Letterhead. Let the words and paper turn into ashes.

I turned off the light and lay on the bed blankly. The night was terrifyingly dark and terrifyingly quiet.
