vengeance

Chapter 44 Lost

After we finished eating, we disbanded in front of the third grandpa's shaved ice shop.Fang Rui said that the sun is very good today, so you can go to watch the sunset.Xiao Ai was going to follow, but was arrested by Xiaopang and the others to rehearse.I said, how about I also go to help, because Chinese New Year is coming soon.At this time, Yanan said seriously that it is not good to ask you to help with these things. You are a guest, so you should go and see more.

"Hey, I just came back not long ago, it's reasonable to go out and play!" Xiao Ai said unconvinced.

"What are you playing? I've been there a few times and I'm still playing. Brother Gu hasn't been there yet, you go and play, don't worry about her, remember to come to my house to play cards at night..." Xiaopang waved to us Together with Yanan, he dragged Xiao Ai away.

Xiao Ai still didn't forget to turn her head and shout at Fang Rui: "A Rui! You must remember to bring me a box of sun cakes!"

Because the road to the lighthouse is a bit remote, and the closer to the sea, the stronger the wind, it is not suitable for cycling, so we can only go there on foot.

We walked past the temple entrance and saw a few breakfast shops. Fang Rui told me that there used to be a rice noodle shop next to the stationery shop opposite his house. Seasonings and side dishes such as chopped peppers, capers, bamboo shoots, kelp, and fungus shreds made by the proprietress can be added at will. Every time he goes there to eat noodles, the proprietress will scoop up an extra spoonful of yards, saying that he is promising.When I was young, I always wanted to eat everything, because every side dish was delicious, so I added a lot every time, and finally mixed it together, making a bowl of noodles always taste a little strange.When it was almost noon, there were not many customers in the noodle shop, so the proprietress would bring a bowl of noodle soup, sit on the table by the door, and finish the bowl of noodle quietly outside the door.It was like this every day, and after a long time, it made people feel that she seemed to be always looking forward to something.

It was probably during the summer vacation after he was in college. When he came back, he found that the powder shop had been demolished and replaced by a building under construction.Some people said that the proprietress ran away with a foreigner, while others said that the proprietress's husband picked her up to live a good life in the city.

"I always feel that she is waiting for someone." Fang Rui walked up the slope against the wind, and the violent sea breeze made his hair cover half of his face. in fragments.

"I don't know if she has waited for that person, or if she doesn't want to wait any longer."

"I think..." I opened my mouth, as if swallowing the cold wind into my mouth.

"what?"

"Nothing!" I yelled.I saw that the white lighthouse around me was close at hand.

The light gray concrete road stretches straight across the magnificent sea, and at the end of the road is a towering lighthouse.The closer to the sea, the stronger the wind, and the colder the wind after nightfall, it made me shiver.When I walked into the lighthouse, I found a small room under repair next to it. Fang Rui said that the engineering team surrounded this area and said that it would be one of the scenic spots. This room will be a gift shop by then. Wait here All repairs have been completed, and it is estimated that tickets will be charged to go up to the lighthouse.

I followed Fang Rui and climbed up. The stairs of this lighthouse are very narrow and spiral. When climbing, I was actually a little nervous, especially when I looked down, it was easy to get dizzy.Fang Rui had already climbed to the top ahead of time, he turned around and stretched out his hand to me to give me a hand, but I pretended not to see it, and climbed to the top floor with my hands on the handrail.

The scenery in front of him suddenly opened up.

The afterglow of the setting sun reddened my face and dyed the clouds in the sky a dreamy pink.

This is indeed the most beautiful and magnificent sunset I have ever seen, but I did not seem to realize until this moment that although everything here is beautiful, it does not belong to me.

On the way back, I passed by the market near Miaokou, probably because of the Chinese New Year, or maybe because there were still some seafood shops left, and it was bustling with people coming and going.Fang Rui probably saw that I had been looking over there curiously, so he said to go in and have a look. I walked behind him and looked around, and found that there were many small shops selling lively seafood, seafood supermarkets and sashimi. I am very interested in sun cakes. Whenever I see a shop selling pastries, I go in and have a look.Pineapple cakes, mung bean cakes, sun cakes, flower cakes,... Looking at those neatly arranged delicate snacks, eating the small pieces in my mouth is really full of flavor, and I want to buy them.However, seeing Fang Rui's careful selection, I put down the hand that picked up a box of sun cakes.

Forget it.

When I walked near the food stall, there was a strange smell of wine, and then I found a stall not far away with a signboard of Ryudao native millet stuffing.The proprietress was very enthusiastic, and she seemed to be an elder who watched Fang Rui grow up. Seeing me curiously looking here and there, she took a bottle and poured a little for me to taste.

As soon as I took a sip, I felt that this wine was very delicious. The aroma of the wine was very strong, but it was not choking at all, and it had some sweet taste.I put down the small paper cup and was full of praise immediately. The proprietress poured me another cup with a smile, and asked me a lot of things, such as where do I live, do I have a girlfriend, is Liudao fun, is there a lot of people in the capital, and asked about me. When I was a major, I said I was studying sociology, and the proprietress slapped the table and said boldly, I saw you were studying sociology!I say?This can also be seen?She smiled and said that she has a good face.

The proprietress is really talkative. I chatted with her all over the South China Sea while drinking. She filled me up almost as soon as I finished drinking. I couldn't find a chance to refuse.At the beginning, I took one sip and one sip, and finally realized that drinking like this is not enough, I still have to drink slowly.

"Xiao Gu, let me tell you, while you are here now, you can play a few more places. After a while, if you come back again, you won't know what it's like."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"There have been people coming to drive people away these days. I heard that this place will be developed into a seafood market in the future, or something. The places where they eat seafood are reserved, and we who set up stalls have to leave."

"Can't you stay here?"

"It's difficult to manage, and they want us to go to the night market near the commercial street. Ah, my family lives here, and I'm told to go to such a far place, how can I go?"

"Why do they go wherever they say, can't we also set up a snack street here?"

"We think the same way, hey. Maybe in a few days, A Po's mother and I will go to the village committee..."

"Go! Must go! I will go too! Where is this..."

"Hahaha, I think you are a little drunk, don't drink, don't drink..."

"I'm not drunk, I'm just kind of high, I'm not drunk, I'm really not drunk, hiccup..."

When I came back to my senses, I couldn't remember how many glasses the proprietress had poured me. Anyway, it was just one glass after another. I really couldn't stop drinking this wine.I was a little embarrassed now, I drank so much wine, so I wanted to pay for a bottle, touched my pocket for a long time, and then remembered in a daze, I didn't bring a bag, it seemed that I put all the money in Fang Rui there.

"Boss lady! You, wait, I'll get the money!" I waved my hand and turned around, only to realize that Fang Rui seemed to be gone.

"No need, hey, Xiao Gu, you go slowly, you wait, where are you going? Please help me look at the stall, I'll go and see him, sorry..."

In a trance, I walked all the way to see, curry crab, sashimi, live shrimp, sea urchin rice, shops after shops, stalls one after another, and there was no shadow of Fang Rui anywhere. I was completely dizzy now. Standing in the market where people come and go, I suddenly don't know where I should go.

"Hey, Xiao Gu, you're walking too fast! Let's go back and have a look, Ah Rui may be nearby, and I'll go back when I can't find you..."

"He won't."

"Ah? What are you talking about?"

"He won't."

"No, no, no, I think you're drinking too much, come and walk slowly, watch the road..." I was dragged back by the proprietress while muttering, and from a distance, I saw A tall, thin figure stood at the door of a pastry shop, and it turned out that next to it was a stall where the proprietress sold stuffed millet.

Fang Rui waved at me. I don't know why, but when I saw his figure from a distance, I immediately became angry.

"Give me the wallet."

Fang Rui was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and began to rummage through his schoolbag. Before he could take out my wallet, I took it out of his hand and handed it to the proprietress directly with a piece of [-]. I saw that she started to change money from her pocket, so I said there was no need to change it.

"How can I do that! 51 bottles, people say I'm stealing money!"

"It's really unnecessary, I drank too much, maybe it's more than..."

"Ouch, Auntie treats you to a drink..." As she said that, the proprietress handed me the change money, but I didn't answer it, but I knew that Fang Rui was someone who treated you well, so you continued, so I specifically said no to him Take it, let go of this and I will go on in a huff.Fang Rui immediately caught up and said wait a minute, I haven't bought sun cakes yet...

"You didn't know how to buy after seeing so many houses just now?" I said angrily.

"not me……"

"Where did you just go?"

"I'm right next to the pastry shop..."

"Then you will die if you tell me? I just looked for you everywhere."

"I told you, maybe you were too excited to talk to her, you didn't hear it, and I think it was next to me, I thought you saw it..."

"It's that urgent."

"what?"

"It's nothing. You take it." I took out my wallet and handed it to him, then turned and left.

"Hey, do you know how to get back!"

I ignored Fang Rui's shouts behind me, and walked quickly to the entrance of the market against the wind, not wanting to stay for a moment longer.For some reason, I always feel like crying.

Hey, what a shame.
