Luo Xuan went to work. Xiaoxian and I spent an hour in the internet cafe where he worked. Seeing that it was about time, we went back to the dormitory and waited for Li Zhao to come looking for us. As usual, I moved a chair and sat at the door with Xiaoxian to smoke. The leaves outside the balcony had turned yellow and were falling off one by one. I suddenly remembered something and shouted,"Little Xian, oh no, I forgot something!”
"Brother Min, did you forget to buy cigarettes?" Xiaoxian asked. I still have two bags under my bed."
I said,"No, I forgot to give that gold nugget to Sister Hua!" Oh my god, he didn't give her a present! I'm a pig!"
Little Xian didn't know how to comfort me. I was a little upset. At that time, I even said that I wanted to take a look at Sister Hua. Why did I forget about this matter? Xiaoxian saw how nervous I was." Brother Min, it's okay! Why don't you call Sister-in-law and tell her? Perhaps she had forgotten. Why don't you bring it back this time?”
For a moment, I thought of all kinds of possible ways to send the gift to Sis Hua. Just as I was thinking about it, a classmate passed by behind me." Aren't you going back to the dormitory? The Discipline Inspection Department has already entered the building!"
Xiaoxian said,"You came fast enough!"”
I didn't have time to care about this. From time to time, I thought about whether I should make a call or something.
After a while, Li Zhao came up, followed by the two kids he had met at the restaurant today. He looked at me from afar and said,"Brother Min, what you're doing is wrong!”
I still ignored him and took a puff. Li Zhao walked to my side." Brother Min, I was the one who asked for the verbal warning. If there's anything, come at me. It's not good to bully your own classmate, right?”
I was amused." To think I treated you like a brother. You're so good at selling people!”
"Brother Min, it's my duty!" Li Zhao said. I'm sorry. Let me join you. I'll help you deal with this warning.”
I looked at him." Thank you, Minister Li, but I'm a good citizen. I'm not from the underworld. I really don't know what you can do if you join us. If you really want to join us, you can join us. I agree. We have to come up with a name. How about we call it the Discipline Inspection Committee? How about the Klan? In any case, you'll have to bear more responsibility for this matter!”
Li Zhao seemed to be a little angry." Brother Min, my two classmates were bullied. Today, I came to see how to deal with it. I have to give an explanation, right?”
I said,"Okay! Do you want to fight one-on-one or a group battle? One-on-one, you can choose between me and Xiaoxian. Find someone and let everyone take part in the group challenge. I'll be with Xiaoxian.”
Li Zhao said," Brother Min, Brother Min, what era is it now? Why are you still fighting?" What I mean is, I'll do the thinking work for them. I only have one request. You guys have been digging graves recently, right? I'll take a look at the spoils of war. Just give me anything! If you don't think so, then look over here…"
I smiled." Li Zhao, Li Zhao, I've said it before. Xiaoxian and I just want to study hard and get a diploma. You mean, you want me to apologize to them? Sure!"
I walked up to the two of them." Brothers, I've let you suffer today! I feel bad here. Why don't I let the two of you punch each other casually to vent your anger?”
I was taller than them and very close to them. They unconsciously took a step back and did not speak. I said,"If you don't want to fight, I'll take it that you have no objections!"”
I stopped talking and looked at the two kids. Suddenly, I shouted,"Fight!"
This gave them a fright, and no one dared to make a move.
I turned around and said to Li Zhao,"Minister Li, I'm afraid your two brothers have forgiven me!" You see, we're just going to let it go?"
Li Zhao looked at me and said fiercely,"Brother Min, I don't think we can get through this! There will always be a chance. Let's go!"
I took out a cigarette, lit it, and watched the group walk past me. Xiaoxian spat at their backs." Brother Min, do you want Luo Xuan to deal with these bastards?"”
I said,"No need. He only said one thing tonight. This is not the era of fighting." Don't worry, we still have many opportunities. After all, she was a sophomore and not a freshman. The school was not strict with her, so there had to be a way. How about this? Help me find the school's rules and regulations. I'll ask the older students and see what the situation is. Tomorrow night, we'll go to the homeroom teacher's house.”
I turned around and went back to the dormitory. I lay on the bed and sent a message to Sis Hua."Sis, I've already prepared a gift for you. It's my spoils of war, a piece of gold nugget. I wanted to give it to you, but I didn't make it in time.”
After a while, Sis Hua replied," Study hard. I don't want it!"”
I sent another message." Then I'll go home and buy you a present, okay?”
In the end, she only replied with one word: "Oh!"
While trying to figure out whether or not to accept the "oh", I fell into a deep sleep.
On the second day of class, I began to study the rules and regulations. Xiaoxian and I sat in the last row and read them one by one. We were even more serious than reading before the college entrance examination. At this moment, I realized that there was a very good rule. It meant that as long as you had a family member to accompany you, you could apply to rent a house outside the school, and you didn't have to pay for the accommodation fee. This attracted me, and I spent the entire class thinking about what to do.
After class, Xiaoxian and I discussed. Little Xian said," It's easy here. I just need to call my family and give them a few hundred yuan. Godfathers are everywhere. Hehe." But what about you?"
I was worried about this matter, so much so that I was depressed when I had lunch with Luo Xuan and the others. Luo Xuan asked about the situation." This is simple. If the teacher didn't know who your relative was, no one would believe you if you told someone that he was your uncle. It would be fine as long as you acted a little more realistically.”
This sentence reminded me of a person-Brother Rat. I haven't contacted him for a long time. I don't even know how he's doing. After dinner, I tried to call him. It went through, but no one picked up. I've been calling all afternoon. I don't believe that he won't reply.
I don't know if it was my sincerity that moved Brother Rat on the other end of the phone, or if he was really annoyed by my harassment, but he finally picked up the phone and said,"I'm busy. I'll call you back later!"
I was listening to an advanced math class at that time. When I heard the call go through, I stood up immediately. Brother Rat hung up after saying one sentence. As a result, the advanced math teacher saw me stand up and looked at me in surprise. I quickly put down the phone and glanced at the blackboard." Teacher, I don't quite understand the question you just explained. I…thought about it for a long time and still didn't understand it. Can you explain it again?”
I acted as if I was serious and moved the advanced mathematics teacher. He explained it in detail again. After I sat down, Xiaoxian almost fainted from laughing. I glared at him." I think this matter will most likely be fine. It's just a matter of time. Hurry up and close the door of the dormitory. Let's go to the homeroom teacher's house and greet him.”
Xiaoxian nodded, and I began to listen to the class with a smile. The advanced math teacher asked me if I understood from time to time.
The matter at night was also very smooth. The homeroom teacher was very polite and accepted the big gift bag I bought. I conveniently found a high-sounding reason for not returning home at night to cover up the past. The class teacher told me to be serious in school, and then recalled the hardships and seriousness they had when they were in school. Little Xian and I nodded silently and smiled.
To prepare for Brother Rat's arrival, I said,""Teacher, my family is anxious this time. I'm doing well at my place. In the past year, I really didn't put in much effort and my grades dropped drastically. My family asked my uncle, who graduated from a distant graduate school, to accompany me. He happened to work at Nanchong Pharmaceutical Factory and insisted on watching me study. Sigh, teacher, I really know what it means to pity a parent.”
The teacher didn't seem to have heard my plot. He educated me and Xiaoxian one by one until the dormitory door was about to close. We got up and said goodbye.
As soon as I left, I said to Xiaoxian,"Hehe, we have a chance this time!" The homeroom teacher has actually let down his guard against us. However, before we go out, there's still one more thing to deal with. It's Li Zhao. We have to make this kid completely lie down!”
Little Xian echoed," Brother Min, this kid is not good. He still has evil intentions. Don't let him off easy!"”
As we walked, we said,"Little Xian, when we come back next time, we have two things to do. First, sign us up for a driving class at school. We have to think of a way to get our driver's license. Second, you have to hide all our equipment and prepare everything for a sightseeing trip after winter.”
When he returned to the dormitory, as expected, the haunting Li Zhao came again. I lay on the upper bunk." Director Li, are you tired of checking like this every day? Don't overwork yourself!"
"Brother Min, this is my duty, my duty!" Li Zhao said. You have to seriously consider what I said! The brothers 'happy lives are all in your hands.”
I smiled and looked at Xiaoxian." Xiaoxian, can you introduce a few girls from Sichuan Normal University to Minister Li? In any case, she should not introduce anyone who was not good-looking, had bad morals, or was mentally unhealthy to him. They were all talking about a happy life!”
Xiaoxian also tilted his head and said," Minister Li, I'll ask my brothers to drive a car for you one day. They'll line up and you can choose slowly."”
Li Zhao didn't seem to be provoked. Instead, he smiled." Brother Min, you must be joking. You know what I mean." Don't make things difficult for me!"
I laughed too." Minister Li, I really don't understand. What do you want me to help you with? If you want to borrow money, it's not a problem for me to lend you a thousand or eight hundred. However, the interest is naturally higher than the bank. If he wanted a girlfriend, he should look for Xiaoxian. If you don't want your money and girlfriend, I don't know what else I have that Minister Li will like.”I pretended to be stunned for a moment and continued," If you like me, then I can't help you!”
This sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter. Li Zhao was immune to poison. He walked out and even turned his head to look at me. I also looked back at him.
Late at night, just as I was dreaming of Sis Hua, my phone rang. In my dream, Sis Hua was cooking for me. I was about to take a bite when I heard the doorbell ring. There was no one at the door. Just as I turned around, the doorbell rang again. Before I could think about it, Xiaoxian woke me up." Brother Min, your phone has rung twice. Answer it. Everyone is waiting to sleep."”
I picked up the phone and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was Brother Rat. I crawled out of the blanket and put on my slippers. After all, it was late autumn and the night was a little cold. I picked it up." Brother Rat, are you okay? Why are you calling me so late at night?”
Brother Rat laughed." Didn't you harass me during the day when I was busy?”
My face was filled with black lines. It turned out that the revenge had been left for tonight. "How's it going recently?" Brother Rat asked.”
I said,"It's okay, Brother Rat. I have something to trouble you with."”
"What's the matter?" Brother Rat asked. I won't give you money. You've learned all my skills and you're still asking me for money. Just pretend I didn't teach you!”
I laughed and squatted down to hug my body. I lit another cigarette and took a puff to keep warm. I said,"I only got a small sum. It's about 200,000 yuan. It's not much."”
Brother Rat said,"That's enough!" I only earned a few crappy coins the first time, and I spent it happily. Tell me, what is it?"
I said,"I want you to pretend to be my uncle for once!”
Brother Rat seemed surprised." What? What do you want me to do?"
I cleared my throat." I'll let you pretend to be my uncle for once. Just treat it as me inviting you to Nanchong for a couple of days. What do you think?”
Brother Rat thought for a moment and said in code,""Did the chicken in the nest break its egg?”
I said,"No, the eggs are fine, but there have been a lot of cockroaches at the door recently."”
This code was very interesting. If they encountered big trouble, there would be a lot of rats at their doorstep.
"Okay!" Brother Rat said. If you want to pretend to be your uncle, then so be it. If you want to pretend to be your father, then so be it.”
I took a deep puff of my cigarette. Everything was settled. We said goodbye and hung up the phone. I shivered and ran back to the house to continue sleeping. However, after this commotion, my sleepiness was completely gone. I lay in bed and tossed and turned until dawn. I was very tired during the day's class. As I lay there to sleep, I felt cold in my legs. Little Xian was taking notes very seriously.
At noon, Brother Rat called me and said," I called Xiaoxian and Luo Xuan together and brought Brother Haozi to the restaurant outside the school. We ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine and chatted while drinking. I told Brother Haozi about the trouble I had encountered. Brother Haozi shook his head after listening to me." Min 'er, your family should really hope that you can study hard. Why don't you stop digging graves? If you don't do it well, your life might be shortened!”
I pursed my lips." You've been in this industry for so many years. Aren't you still alive and kicking? I'm not doing anything outrageous. Hehe, Brother Haozi, you have to help me even if you don't want to!”
Brother Haozi took a sip of wine." Sure, but Nanchong has all the good food and fun. You're considered half rich!"”
I patted my chest and said,"Leave it to me!”
I raised my wine glass and drank it all. Then, I turned around and said to Xiaoxian,"You have to speed up on your side too. Otherwise, if Li Zhao keeps a close eye on you, it'll be troublesome.”
Little Xian said," I have an old auntie at home who loves to run around. I called her over this time and said that I wanted to treat her to a game. There will definitely be no problem!"”
Now, everything was at ease.
After dinner, I showed Brother Rat around the campus and then went to KTV. The three of us drank beer until 10:30. I waved at Xiaoxian." We have to run back quickly. Brother Rat, you have to run with us for a while."”
This made Brother Rat very nervous. He quickly asked,"What's wrong?"
I pretended to be helpless and said,"I have to rush back. I have to check the dormitory. If I get caught, I'll be miserable!"”
I urged him to speed up as I walked out. Actually, I did it on purpose because I wanted him to know about my current situation. I still needed to add some ingredients. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped me so hard, right?
After settling Brother Rat in our rented house, Xiaoxian and I ran back to the dormitory. Along the way, Xiaoxian kept asking,"Brother Min, is this okay?" He just arrived, and we haven't been with him for long. Are we going to run away?”
I said,"Of course. If I let him drink half a beer every day, then this kid won't do it." Haha, let's find a place to eat hotpot tomorrow night. He loves it. Let's run back at 10:30!"
Little Xian said,"Brother Min, your move is a little mean!"”
I smiled helplessly. Sure enough, after eating hotpot the next day, Brother Haozi said at around 10:30,""Hey, can you guys drink with me? I've never seen anyone treat uncle like this!”
I laughed and said,"Brother Rat, we really have no choice!" How about this, let's get this done tomorrow morning, what do you think?”
"That's settled then," Brother Rat said. Seriously, why do I feel that it's so boring? I've just drunk a little and you're running away! Luo Xuan was the same. She drank half of it and went back to work. Why did she have to do that? Did she have to drink it alone?”
I winked at Xiaoxian, meaning that I had achieved my goal. I comforted Brother Haozi and bought him some barbecue at the side door of the school. I also brought a bunch of beer." Brother Haozi, I expect that the teacher will be free in the afternoon. Let's go to the teacher's office." Sleep in tomorrow morning and rest up. We'll kill our way over in the afternoon. If we're lucky, we can drink to our hearts 'content tonight!”
Brother Rat agreed readily and went back to his rented apartment alone. He watched the game while eating barbecue and drinking beer.
The next afternoon, I made an appointment with Brother Haozi to wait for him at the side door. Brother Haozi wore a white shirt and a pair of trousers. His leather shoes were shiny as he appeared in front of me." Nephew, what do you think of your uncle's outfit? It cost me a lot of money!"
I didn't dare to comment." Did you remember the lines I said to you on the phone last night?”
Brother Rat said," Anyway, I'm just going to trick you out of the dormitory. Just wait for me to drink with you tonight!"”
When he saw the teacher, he wasn't nervous. Before I introduced him, he said,"Aiya, teacher, hello, hello! My nephew has been naughty since he was young. Thank you for your trouble! Aiya, teacher, you're young and really knowledgeable! If you're already a form teacher at such a young age, you'll be a PhD supervisor in a few years. I can rest assured that my nephew is in your class!”
His words were so pleasant to the ears, but the form teacher was baffled." Oh, do you have something to say?”
"Yes, yes!" Brother Rat said. This nephew of mine is used to being mischievous. No one is looking at him, and he will drop the ball for me. This exam has angered his father. He said that he scored 60 points in everything, and he still has the cheek to enter the house? I graduated from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. This time, the company transferred me here. My family told me to look after this kid.”
The teacher listened for a long time, seemingly not understanding what he was trying to do." It's okay. Our education is still very appropriate. You can come over and take a look when you have time.”
Brother Rat was stunned for a moment." Ah, Teacher, it's like this. This nephew of mine, no one can control him. When he was admitted to university, he came here with a comic book in his book, so someone has to watch over him. I just happened to be transferred to Nanchong as a district manager. I want to keep an eye on him. I want to ask if I can rent a house outside the school so that he can stay with me. I want to take advantage of my youth to get a good grasp of his results. He's the only child in our family! Sigh, speaking of which, it's pitiful. His father fell ill at home in his early years, and his mother also had a hard time. It was all us relatives who raised him up!”
I felt uncomfortable listening to him, so I glared at him fiercely. Was there anyone who would talk about their disciple's parents like that? Even if they were making up lies, could they not be so incompetent?
The teacher looked at Brother Rat and said after a long time,""That's not possible in theory. However, it's a good thing that your family values this child so much.”After saying that, he looked at me and said earnestly,"Min 'er, your family values you so much, and your parents aren't in good health either. You have to repay them. You have to work harder than others outside!”
I nodded solemnly." Teacher, I will definitely study hard. I will not let down my family and my form teacher. Thinking back to my laziness in the past, I regret it very much. However, I will definitely study hard in the future.”
These words made me feel a little shocked and sad. The procedures went smoothly and were completed before dinner. I handed the receipt to the building management office and was basically free. I stood downstairs and really had the urge to roar into the sky.
"Why don't we get together tonight?" Xiaoxian asked.”
I said,"No! After all, you haven't come out yet. At the very least, you have to wait until you come out before letting the people in the dormitory know. Otherwise, if Li Zhao found out and did something, it would be difficult!”
Little Xian thought that it made sense, so we continued to trick Brother Rat and slept in the dormitory for the night. The next day, they had lunch together, but Brother Rat was unhappy." Min 'er, you're really mean now! You're already out, why aren't you drinking with me? It's a long night. Why are you so busy?”
I can't lie anymore this time." Brother Rat, you're a magnanimous person. You see, it's like this. Little Xian hasn't come out yet. If I come out now, some evil guys will keep an eye on Little Xian. Then, I won't have any left or right arms, and my chances of success in the future will be small!”
Brother Haozi knew that what I said was very important, but he still insisted that I drink with him. While waiting for Xiaoxian to move out of the dormitory, we decided to let Brother Rat drink too much at noon every day. Then, we would carry him back to sleep and go back to class. These three days were more tiring than us digging graves outside. Brother Haozi somehow managed to hold his liquor. However, he still couldn't compete with the wheel battle. He really drank every time he drank and got drunk every time he drank. However, when I was drinking, I always felt that his mood was somewhat depressed. Because his mind was focused on Little Xian at that time, I didn't ask him in detail.
Little Xian also moved out three days later. That night, Xiaoxian and I waited in the dormitory. I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost time to close the dormitory door. Little Xian and I stood up and shouted to our brothers in the dormitory,"Brothers, Little Xian and I will move out. From now on, if there's anything, just call your phone. If it's not convenient to call, just let me know during class. We'll leave first. Take care of yourselves!”
After saying that, a few roommates in the dormitory fought to send us out. We pretended to refuse. When we reached the door, we happened to see Li Zhao walking over with a group of people. I told my roommates to go back first, then I walked up to them with Xiaoxian. Li Zhao was a little surprised." Brother Min, it's already so late. Aren't you going back to the dormitory?" If they were to find out later, this brother would not be able to explain himself!”
I was amused." How about this? Go ahead and investigate. Just take it that you've found us. Report it to the Ministry of Education tomorrow." Haha, Minister Li, from now on, we are no longer under your control!”
Li Zhao was shocked." Why? You have to be supervised by the school! I order you to return to the dormitory now!”[TXTLV novel download: 3uww.com]
I ignored him and said to the people wearing red armbands behind him,"Brothers, once we leave, you don't have to waste your time here with Minister Li every day. You can also study hard in the dormitory and improve every day!”
With that, we walked out of the building. Li Zhao said from behind,"Stop! If you don't explain yourself, don't leave! If I go out, I'll report it to the Ministry of Education.”
I turned around and glared at him." You're the one behind this! Report? This is all you can do. Sure, go ahead!"
With that, I left without looking back. The moment I turned around, I saw this guy gnashing his teeth. He was so angry that his face was ashen. There was only a red armband left behind him.
After they left the dormitory, Xiaoxian almost fainted from laughing." Brother Min, why is this guy so confident that he can keep us here? Haha, this guy is probably going to faint from anger!”
I said,"Fortunately, I held back for three days. Otherwise, if Li Zhao knew, it would be difficult for you to come out!" However, even if he couldn't come out, he could just give his form teacher another gift. Alright, Brother Rat is probably going to wake up soon. Let's go eat supper and eat until the night is up!”
When we opened the door, Brother Rat was lying there watching the game and drinking beer. When he saw us, he was like a savior. He said," Apprentice, throw away this trashy television of yours quickly. When you have time, come to my house to watch it. It's really cool to watch a football match on a rear-projection television!”
If you didn't know that he was a gravedigger, you really wouldn't be able to tell that he was actually a person who could really endure loneliness. I laughed." Brother Haozi, from now on, our brothers will drink with you! Let's go eat barbecue!"
Brother Rat immediately perked up." That's the best thing I've heard in so many days! Let's go, disciple."
Drinking cold beer and eating barbecue was a very pleasant thing, especially with his brothers. The three of us sat at a small table. I suddenly remembered the scene of me drinking beer and eating barbecue with my second uncle and little uncle on the mountain. My eyes couldn't help but tear up. I said,"Brother Rat, how have you been this year?”
Brother Rat said,"Alas, what is considered good?" After entering this line of work, it was too difficult to turn back. Other than lifting coffins, he had no other skills. He still had a group of people to support. He had saved up the money, but the cost was also huge! I wanted to dig a bigger grave, so I quit and found a wife to live a good life.”
We clinked glasses. I said,"We can look for him now!”
"Why didn't your relative tell you?" Brother Rat asked. In this line of work, those who couldn't find love before washing their hands only ended up with the old three!”
"What old three?"”
Brother Rat looked at me with some disdain." Either you die or she dies, or all of you die!"”
I was a little surprised." Who…who said that?”
Brother Rat said," That's what the previous generation of coffin lifters said. I've tried it too. In the end, the women either spent my money crazily or were scared away." Therefore, he would never look for it before washing his hands!”
I nodded thoughtfully and thought of Sister Hua. Could it be that she didn't look for him because of this? Could it be that his uncle, second uncle, and youngest uncle did not want to look for him because of this reason?
I said,"Did anyone say that gravediggers can't find gravediggers?"”
Brother Haozi glanced at me." How many times have I told you? What do you mean by digging a grave? It's called lifting a coffin! This…I haven't heard of this. Anyway, I understand that it's unlucky to rush the five elements!”
I said,"Look, I dig graves…Oh, I lift coffins. My wife, the one who lifted the coffin, is also unlucky! This negative and positive, maybe even better!”
Brother Rat laughed." As expected of a college student. You can even explain such a ridiculous thing. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's drink!"”
Brother Haozi finished his drink." Disciple, this is the first time we've seen each other since we parted. I…I'm going to wash my hands!”
I was a little surprised and confused, but I still said happily,"Congratulations, Brother Rat! It could be considered a prodigal son returning, right? No, hehe, how should I put it? I'm not good with words. You should understand what I mean.”
Brother Rat waved his hand." I'll wash my hands thoroughly. I won't touch anything related to coffin lifting anymore. I'll leave Sichuan from now on!"”
I was surprised again." Brother Rat, you drank too much tonight. You're fine. Why did you…"
Brother Rat continued to wave his hand, signaling me not to interrupt him. He continued,"Money is never earned. So what if we earn it today?" If he made a mistake one day, he would lose everything! I'm already an old man. It's time for me to plan for the future.”
I nodded thoughtfully and clinked glasses with him again. Brother Rat said," Min 'er, you're my only disciple in my life. I hope you'll be well too. I don't want you to follow my old path." In this line of work, it was fine if he wanted to play with something new, but he didn't want to waste his life!”
I smiled and said nothing. Brother Rat drank a glass of beer." Min, I'm going to leave. I think this is the first time we'll see each other after we break up, and it'll be the last time!”
I was shocked and at a loss. I said,"Brother Rat, did you drink too much?"! Are you alright?"
Brother Haozi waved his hand." Min 'er, don't think too much. If I leave this time, there won't be Brother Haozi anymore. Hehe, I'll have a new beginning. Hmm, I feel good!”
I was stunned. Brother Rat looked at me and clinked glasses with me and Xiaoxian. He said to Xiaoxian,"My disciple is straightforward and smart, but he has a stubborn temper. You have to help me take good care of him. If anything happens to him, I won't let you off!”
Xiaoxian didn't say anything and drank with Brother Rat. Brother Rat said,"You guys are so nice!" I didn't have such a good brother back then. Otherwise, I would have washed my hands long ago! Hahahaha-"
In the latter half of the night, Luo Xuan came and drank with Brother Rat.
In my memory, Brother Rat drank a lot that night, and we all drank a lot. I felt like I was drinking alone and got drunk very quickly. I didn't remember who paid for it. I just lay on the table and cried. Then, I vomited for a long time and finally lost my memory.
The next day, Little Xian woke me up. I rubbed my swollen head and asked,"Where's Brother Rat? Tell him to eat breakfast!"
"You drank too much last night, so we carried you back." Brother Haozi had nowhere to sleep. I said I would squeeze with Luo Xuan, but he said forget it and went back!”
I jumped up from the bed and grabbed Xiaoxian's collar. I shouted,"Why didn't you stop him?"
Xiaoxian looked at me." I can't stop him if he wants to leave!”
I woke up and gently let go of Xiaoxian. I turned around and silently walked up to the roof. I sat down on the rooftop, lit a cigarette, and took a deep puff. He left? He left just like that? He didn't want his disciple anymore? So last night, he kept saying that he would wash his hands and not lift the coffin. He was here to say goodbye to me. He couldn't drink all this time, but he accompanied me to drink for several nights. So it was all because of this disobedient disciple of mine.
Xiaoxian stood beside me." Brother Rat, he... you drank too much. We talked until very late. He said that he hoped that everything would be good for you in the future, but he wanted me to tell you to turn back soon after you've had enough fun. Don't throw your life away!”
Tears welled up in my eyes. I waved my hand." Leave me alone for a while.”
Xiaoxian looked at me and silently walked downstairs. The cool wind blew across my face, and I felt unusually cold. Loneliness, separation, and sadness surged into my heart, and a line of tears slid silently. Cold tears wet the burning cigarette. I asked in my heart over and over again: "Do all grimacers have to die alone?! Do all grimacers die alone?! Are all grimacers going to die alone…"
Last night, we drank and sang together, and today, we left without saying goodbye. I know that Brother Haozi is afraid that I will keep him, afraid that I will be sad, afraid that I will be reluctant. Instead of saying goodbye, it was better to leave behind a regret. Perhaps both of them would be happier.
Suddenly, I missed Sister Hua very much. I wished that she was by my side. I wished that I could lie on her lap and let her caress my hair. I wished that all of this was not the sad silence of the end of the song. I took out my phone and called Sis Hua. She said,"Min 'er, what's wrong? Didn't you go to class?"
When I heard Sis Hua's voice, I couldn't help but sob. I said,"Sister Hua, my…my master has left! Wuwuwu-"
Sis Hua was stunned for a moment." Don't cry. Tell me slowly. Do you want me to treat you like a big child?”
I wiped my tears and said,"Sis, my master said…said he won't make funny faces anymore. He wants to say…say goodbye to everything in the past, and also say goodbye to me!" I miss him, I…"
Sis Hua said softly,"Min 'er, be good!" You should give him your blessings. Don't cry. This is how it is in this industry. You don't see him anymore, but you know that he's better off than before, right?”
I sobbed and nodded." Flower, I miss you! I miss you! I'm afraid that you won't be around one day. I…I feel like my heart is about to be emptied! Wuwuwu-"
"Silly girl, I'm always here!" Sis Hua said softly. Be good, be strong!"
I used my arm to wipe away my tears and sniffed."Sis, I won't cry, I won't cry! I know he'll be fine, I know.”
Sis Hua said softly on the other end of the phone,""Have you had breakfast?"
"No, I'm on the roof," I said.
Sis Hua said,"Then go and have breakfast quickly. Don't think too much."”
"Yes, thank you, Sis. I feel much better!"”
After hanging up the phone, I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, put my hands on my chest, and silently wished Brother Rat well.
It wasn't until a few years later that I finally understood how free and easy I was at that moment. It was only then that I truly understood that washing my hands in the golden basin meant rebirth and the beginning of another life.
I smoked another cigarette on the roof and slowly walked down. Xiaoxian specially called Luo Xuan, who was at work, back. When he saw me coming down, he quickly came up and asked,"Brother Min, are you alright?”
I squeezed out a smile." It's alright! Let's go, I'm starving. Let's eat breakfast!"
