"Wild Boar" (short story)
Text/Lin Pujin
Xiao Gang held up a conspicuous "Pick up wild boar" sign and stood at the exit of the station, paying special attention whenever he saw someone leaving the station. But no one came to sit in the right seat all afternoon, and it was only near the evening that I went home a little discouraged.
"Wild boar" is what he met in a WeChat group chat, because they are all "activists" in the group chat, and their views are close, often very speculative. One day, the "wild boar" inadvertently said that he was going to a certain place for business, which was Xiao Gang's hometown, and Xiao Gang said by the way that if it was convenient, he might as well come to the house for a gathering, and also told the home address and its contact information. The "wild boar" agreed, so they agreed on a walking route, and Xiao Gang went to the station to meet him.
Xiao Gang returned home with a stomach full of disappointment, but saw a very quiet strange girl sitting shyly on the sofa watching TV. The mother who was busy in the kitchen complained when she saw Xiao Gang, knowing that there were friends coming and not coming home early!
Xiao Gang was surprised and asked, "You are a wild boar?" ”
The girl said embarrassedly: "I temporarily took a friend's car and didn't answer your phone." Because a friend has an emergency, this place is far from the station, and it goes directly to your home, which is really sorry. ”
Xiao Gang said angrily, "How can you temporarily change your itinerary?" I waited for you for half a day! ”
The girl suddenly lost her temper and said, "Can you blame me for this?" It was you who lost everything yourself, causing me to make dozens of phone calls and think you gave a fake number! ”
Sure enough, it is a "wild boar"! At this time, Xiao Gang could only complain that he had arrived at the station only to find that he had forgotten his mobile phone, and he thought that he would just wait at the station, but he did not expect that there would be this episode in the meantime.
