杀死鸽子(4)

I rode a red Jialing motorcycle to Nie Tong's house on Hammer Tonghua Street. Last night, Treasure Hunting partner and I discussed going to the adolescent forest to find a cat cemetery, and he didn't say that the guide cat was in heat again. It's easy for Nie Tong to say this kind of thing casually, but I can feel it, mainly because his father is going to come home from other provinces, I guess Beijing, for eye treatment, and no matter how busy he is, let me find time to go to his house.

"Nie Tong, are you in trouble?" I asked flatteringly.

"Look at Su Jinmei, it is said that she is sick. ”

The expression on Nie Tong's face was flat, and I felt that there was no brilliance.

"Really, you should care more about her. I said.

"We're just ordinary classmates. Nie Tong said.

"Oh bad guy, I'm going to do it. I said meaningfully.

Once in the ironworks inn Nie Tong even joked, which was unique during our relationship, he rarely communicated with anyone in his daily life, including me, squinting his eyes and turning his face sideways, most of the meanings need to be understood by my heart. What Nie Tong said was always a mouthful of spit, and I could hardly find a reason to refute it. He said that he was going to introduce me to his girlfriend, Su Jinmei was too shrewd, as a talking about literature, it was okay, but being a girlfriend might have too many problems. Although I was more than ten years younger than him, had been married for a short time, and had divorced, I was very anxious about this matter and longed to find a good girl. In order to comfort my heart that is becoming more and more irritable, I think differently about finding a treasure partner.

Although I blindly flatter, Nie Tong is not my only choice.

"I don't think I'll get married in my life. Nie Tong said.

"I was single in a rented book house, continued to live alone, and when I had the opportunity, I took my fattened guide cat to the adolescent forest to find a cat cemetery. If I don't go to work one day, I'll accompany you to the train station to see Mu Tangjie at the exit of the train station on vacation, is it really the most perfect life? "After a long time, I woke up like a dream. We had drunk orange soda and had a premonition of the seriousness of the situation. "Don't turn the game into a lifeless kind of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar family routine, then our friendship will undoubtedly turn sour. Got it?", I added.

"It's not necessarily hopeful. He replied firmly.

"You're right, it's our responsibility to make the adolescent forest more vibrant. But don't fall in the castle and the magic palace. ”

"I'm younger than you, Tian Sen, but I'm determined to compete with the magician. I don't know how to use spells though. ”

"Nie Tong, I know from the time I know you that you are the most stable treasure finding partner. Don't play with the child's temper anymore, we're just a little far apart, and we meet and walk through the whole city. Do you want our parents to be completely broken when they face the truth!"

"On the contrary, my parents need me to spend the rest of my life taking care of them, as long as they are happy. My parents have been through so much, torture in the training room, countless betrayals and deaths, they are not as old-fashioned as you think. Tian Sen, the problem is on your side, last year's yellow calendar can't be turned over this year, I believe my parents are willing to accept you. They are also introverts, and they may not be good at expressing themselves, and I even think that over the years, my parents have almost lost this interest in connecting with outsiders, but they know very well in their hearts that I am happy, and that is the most meaningful thing about renting a book house. The point may be more afraid of stranger intervention, they can't get rid of the status of ground workers, Tian Sen, you may understand my situation somewhat. Nie Tong tried his best to hide his pain and said, "Tian Sen, I advise you to work harder. ”

He had never said so much. I shut up and didn't dare to squeak.

I was silent for a long time, raised my head and stared at the treasure hunting partner sitting opposite, and felt more and more that Nie Tong's thinking had changed. He actually wanted me to fit into his family, which was comparable to an ancient tomb, or a spider's nest by the river, and that immediately reminded me of the Italian writer who wrote fables. Finding a treasure partner has become incredible. "Your fat and fat guide cat, I am fascinated and frightened, and I often think of the gun that the boy hid in the spider's nest and stole from the fascists. "I shook my head desperately.

"I only hope that those who have me in their hearts will exchange their hearts for hearts. He said.

Nie Tong said this point in the Iron Factory Hotel, I will always remember it, and at the same time, I feel that it is not a taste. I've never seen a treasure partner of his character, and Nie Tong wasn't even twenty years old at the time. Judging from the surface alone, including Qin Feng, I don't believe that he is obsessed with me at all, it may be the helplessness of his love life, or even the whole thing. However, earlier, even Su Jinmei, a young woman in literature and art, was stunned, never expecting that Nie Tong would hold the thigh of celibacy. I was surprised by his attitude, and now, he is actually going to introduce me to a girlfriend. I don't believe that a girl like Nie Tong, who lives in a small rented bookstore all day long, and barely leaves home, will know. Most likely he was tempting me.

Anyway, if there is providence, if I can choose instead of finding a treasure partner, I would still prefer Nie Tong to really fall in love with Su Jinmei, but unfortunately she has already married to Africa, and she is barely a big man. I recalled that a few years ago, I was exhausted, and I was even more afraid, I had to give Nie Tong a vaccination in advance, even if it was just a ventilator, saying that I wanted to find a woman to start a second marriage. He was silent, and a week later, while the bobtail was napping, we went into the castle again, and saw him directly in the green train car, and I was indeed physically and mentally exhausted that day. After passing the cat graveyard and the bridgehead back to the ironworks inn room, I even wished for the first time that it was natural for me to find a treasure partner. It would have been better if Wei Chengjun, Nie Tong's apprentice who imitated the magician on our street, suddenly beat me up, or Qiu Bokai, a clarinet player, proudly declared that he was a benefactor and treated me like a refugee. Nie Tong said sadly: "Tian Sen, you know better than anyone else that in addition to looking for a treasure partner, only the carrier pigeon in the iron cage on the roof is my lover." When you get married one day, it will be inconvenient for the two of us to go to the adolescent forest, and maybe even Qin Feng will misunderstand that I am forcing you. ”

I cheekily asked Nie Tong again, hoping that he would make his words clear: "To be honest, what is the relationship between the two of us?"

"Looking for a treasure partner relationship, fattening guide cats is more important. ”

"Single, so you plan to pursue treasure for the rest of your life. ”

He looked at me strangely, not at all pretending. It seems that I rejected it in my heart, and the idea made Nie Tong inadvertently peep at it, and he actually came to the opposite conclusion.

"Oh, Tian Sen, what's your new calendar?"

"Maybe it wasn't printed at all. I'm worried, to make it clear, I don't like Kamen Rider virtue more than you. ”

"We must go to Mu Tangjie and get back on the right path. He thought.

"I haven't decided how to deal with him yet. I laughed.

The two greedy and sleepy guide cats immediately stayed in the ironworks hotel and pretended to be sick, which was not the attitude that a treasure partner should have.

"I think you're just trying to play lazy. Nie Tong took the opportunity to point at Sang and scold Huai, and he may have been scolded along with Mu Tangjie.

"But I always felt a little out of line. I said embarrassedly.

"Tian Sen, is it me who is deliberately accused?" Nie Tong asked.

"Yes, can't we continue to maintain a simple relationship with a treasure partner, we have to artificially add a heavier emotion. I saw that the treasure hunters in the cold drink shop were living a relaxed life, and to be honest, I envied them. ”

"Why can't it develop into another relationship? He said.

"What kind of relationship are you referring to, Nie Tong, you can't!"

"Be quiet, Tian Sen, I won't quarrel with you. ”

"I heard that there were two treasure hunters who played themselves to death. ”

"It was the wife and children who all died during the Japanese bombing. ”

"He's the one who calls the cold drink shop his home. You're telling me a show!"

Actually, I really can't figure out why I have to wander between such an unclear relationship. I myself just can't take the last step, the key step out, and I may never be able to go back to safety. I was about to go to work, I was passing by a cold drink shop, and I went in to see Qin Feng by the way, and I didn't want to sit down and chat.

"I didn't do anything wrong last night, and I apologize to him for me. ”

"I think Nie Tong's situation should be okay," Qin Feng said with a smile, "Why bother with that kind of relationship between the two of you." ”

I had no choice but to say goodbye: "Then I'll come back when I'm free." ”

"Tian Sen, please wait!" Su Jinmei actually appeared on the doorstep of the turning door and smiled at me all the time, that kind of smile was full of infinite challenges and was also very painful. "Tian Sen, you don't really understand what Nie Tong has experienced since he was a child, including the environment in which he grew up. He wanted you to be accommodating. ”

"Can I go in and sit with you for a while?" I asked her.

"You know, I don't drink orange soda. Su Jinmei frowned and said, "Tian Sen, you don't know how tired I am. ”

"Thank you, Su Jinmei, you can understand, I really wanted to find a chance to apologize to you. I followed her and Qin Feng into the cold drink shop again, sat face to face, the most famous cat breeder and literary young woman sat on the side, she drank magic drink, and Qin Feng and I drank orange soda, "I must ask for your forgiveness for what happened last night, I shouldn't have refused in person." ”

"Even if you get scratched by a kitten, you don't care. ”

"Is it all considered to have been vaccinated against rabies?" I asked, "Su Jinmei, it doesn't matter!" I thought to myself.

Su Jinmei leaned back in the chair, a little absent-minded.

"No, Tian Sen, I should apologize to you. ”

I heard Su Jinmei, who had seen Nie Tong climb upstairs to feed the carrier pigeon recently, that he didn't look sick at all. He must have fed the carrier pigeon with the cat's spit from the guide's cat, and perhaps there was something else to do, she was convinced that murder would happen sooner or later. Women are sensitive by nature on this side, I admit it.

Otherwise, there is no cold disease in the heart, and you are not afraid to eat watermelon. What is Nie Tong flustered about? After listening to the conclusions reached by Su Jinmei and Qin Feng after exchanging opinions, I didn't feel that I was in danger. What you need to find a treasure partner is family affection.

"That's all!" I didn't expect anything more dangerous to happen, "the road of affection is too heavy for the treasure seeker. ”

"If he's not crazy, you'll be fine. Su Jinmei said.

"I've been in this situation where my partner went crazy and almost stabbed me in the heart with a fruit knife. I said.

"You said neighbor Cai Jianxin. Qin Feng interjected.

I nodded: "He's still in a mental hospital." ”

Su Jinmei understood, and she said that she could no longer go to Hammer Tonghua Street to rent a bookstore in the future. The female classmate and suitor I was looking for a partner with no longer bothered me. She lowered her voice slightly: "No, Tian Sen, you misunderstood. I would say that this ambiguous relationship between the four of us should have ended a long time ago, it's disgusting. ”

"It has nothing to do with me at all!" Qin Feng put himself aside and affirmed on the spot, "I want to establish another more intimate relationship, from spiritual to physical, I have never considered it, absolutely not to." He looked at Su Jinmei sincerely, and originally wanted to reach out and grab her hand, but she happened to suddenly retract it.

She dodged and said, "Qin Feng, please pay more attention to my inner feelings." I want a genuine husband and wife relationship, I'm not Lala. I won't agree to a formal marriage!"

"If Nie Tong pleaded with him in person, wouldn't you agree?"

Qin Feng was a little disappointed, and I was almost the same in my heart.
