Chapter 6 Gestures
My plane was an hour behind Yuan Yi's eldest brother, and before I got on the plane, I made two phone calls, the first one was to my parents.
Mom went out to dance very fashionably, that is, the kind of open-air dam, saying that it was to strengthen her body, and she went every day when the thunder could not move, and it was Dad who answered the phone.
When he heard that it was me, Dad was very happy and asked, "Sanwa'er, when will you come back?" Your mother said, when you come back, I'll make you braised pork ribs and boiled pork slices. β
I smiled slightly, every time I heard my parents say these common words, my heart was always warm, and I exhaled softly, I almost held my breath and said: "Dad, I'm crazy busy during this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back until the Spring Festival, no, I'm going to go to Yunnan in a hurry." β
There was silence on the other end of the phone, I heard my heart 'thump', and I didn't dare to spit out the breath I was holding, this was nervousness, I was nervous to hear my father's disappointed voice, it had always been like this.
After a while, my father's seemingly calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "If you're busy, then it's the Spring Festival, your mother and I are fine, and you don't have to hang up." β
"Well, Dad, I'll be back as soon as possible." I hurriedly wanted to hang up the phone, but also breathed a long sigh of relief, in fact, it was not that I didn't want to talk to my father for a while, the shadow of leaving home when I was a child, let me always be like this, once the days away from home were longer, or the things to do were a little more dangerous, I was unwilling to talk to my parents more, and I was always afraid that if I talked too much, I would be weak.
Just when I was about to hang up the phone, my father stopped me with some hesitation: "Three babies? β
"Dad, what's the matter?"
"That one, you go to Yunnan, are you going to find Ruxue's girl, Dad doesn't mean anything else, since you are all fruitless, don't delay each other, you are a male baby, then it's okay to say, people Ruxue is a female doll, and if you continue to be entangled like this, delay finding a good person, hey, three babies, in fact, Ruyue's girl" Dad hesitated when he said this, but from the perspective of the old family, it is also the same truth.
However, a bitter taste still unconsciously spread from the bottom of my heart, I am not used to lying to my parents, but there are some things, I have to lie, I quickly interrupted my father's words, said: "Dad, I'm not looking for Ruxue, don't worry about it, the time to get on the plane is almost up, I won't tell you." β
After speaking, I didn't wait for my father to speak, so I hung up the phone in a hurry, and calmed down for a while before I smiled bitterly, but soon regained my calm.
After all, I am a little more mature, I am too lazy to dwell on this kind of thing, it is nothing more than that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and there is no point in tangling, but I feel that the older I get, the more I experience, the more I am like my master, 'I don't want to do things', and the spirit of 'single' is getting heavier and heavier.
I called Brother Chengqing on the next call, and Brother Chengqing's voice was always like that, lazy, with some coldness: "I'm waiting for you to call, let's talk." β
I smiled helplessly again, that video disc had already made me feel like 'all the grass and trees are soldiers', so after thinking about it, I still thought it was best to give it to Brother Chengqing, but I didn't have time to explain anything at the time, because when I found Brother Chengqing, he was not at home, but in the office, I always felt unsafe, but vaguely handed the video disc to him, implying that he must put it away, and don't look at it yet.
Sure enough, Brother Chengqing knew what I was going to explain, and I didn't bother to talk nonsense, so I said directly: "In that video, if I'm not mistaken, there are important clues, and it's not clear on the phone, Brother Chengqing, you have to remember, that may be our greatest hope, I don't trust some people in the department, and I don't want to say it on the phone, you just remember, you must keep that video disc well, and you can back it up." β
Brother Chengqing was silent on the phone for a while, and said, "Important clues, what do you mean?"
"Yes, that's what I was referring to. Actually, the disc itself is not important, if you lose it, and then ask for it, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, and that's what I mean, although I was a little careful, but I had to be careful. "I'm messing around with that, but I can't say it myself, but I just instinctively felt like I should do it, and I did it, and I couldn't help it.
Brother Chengqing didn't ask much, and his tone was not awkward, and finally with a trace of spirit, he said to me: "Don't worry, just put it here with me." You and Chengxin go to be careful, wait for you to come back, let's get together and talk. β
"Hmm!" After saying this, I hung up the phone, and my mind remembered the video again, and remembered that shot, which was the master pointing out to me how beautiful that lake was, and it seemed that there was no problem.
But in the camera, the master pointed to the lake with one hand, and the other hand was naturally on his side, but it was that hand, compared a gesture, probably because he was afraid that I would ignore that gesture, he let go of his hand in a short period of time, and compared it again.
The meaning of that gesture, how could I not remember, it was the meaning of care, attention! Whether it was to be careful, to pay attention to the place he was pointing to, or to be careful, to pay attention to something else, I really didn't know for a while.
The only thing I know for sure is that gesture, I can't be mistaken, and Master did it twice in a row! I'm afraid this gesture can only be understood between our master and apprentice.
That's related to the memories of my childhood, when I first started to practice hand tricks, those complicated gestures often made my hands cramp, although I practiced diligently, but at that time, as soon as my temperament came up, it was inevitable that I would cry in front of the master.
So the master came up with a way and said to me, "Sanwa'er, you are quite a Red Army, especially those underground workers? Master told you that those underground workers have their own special methods of secret contact, so let's find a special way to contact them. β
But I adore the Red Army, when did I worship the underground workers? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile slightly, Master was good enough to fool, but at that time, I was still a child, and I instinctively thought it was funny, so I responded to Master.
As a result, the master separated those complicated hand movements, and let me practice one action to express one meaning, and over the years, I have become extremely proficient in the hand tricks, and the meaning of those movements is also deeply imprinted in my mind, and it seems that Master has not forgotten this little game between our master and apprentice.
As soon as people recall, it is inevitable that they can't hold back their thoughts, always remembering the years of bamboo forest building, in order to let me practice the hand tricks, the master didn't talk much for a long time, and a gesture means to eat, to go out, it's really interesting to think about.
If, if time can be turned back, this thought just popped up in my mind, and I was distracted by my thoughts, sad or not, although it is Chen Chengyi's nature, but in these times, it is really inappropriate.
After looking at my watch, it was almost time to board the plane, and I stood up, thinking in my heart over and over again, why did Master leave me such a message in this way? And in the back of the disc, will he say goodbye to him and give me a little explanation?
The time on the plane was not so difficult to pass the time, at the right temperature, the alcohol was rising, and I simply fell asleep, and when I woke up, the plane was about to land at the airport in Kunming.
I stretched out and flipped through the newspaper casually, and the time passed like this, but from the time I got off the plane until I walked out of the airport, I didn't see anyone come to pick me upβthe sixth sister, she didn't come.
The place I agreed with Ruxue was to meet at the sixth sister, the sixth sister didn't come, I didn't care much, and it wasn't that I couldn't find the way, so I called a taxi at random and went straight to the sixth sister.
In the taxi, I made a phone call to the sixth sister, who was a little surprised how I had arrived in Kunming, and then I remembered that I didn't tell the sixth sister that I would come by plane today, but it was really confusing.
The sixth sister smiled ambiguously over there, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Chengyi, you are in a hurry, I'm afraid you can't remember these trivial things, right?" β
Holding the phone, my ears were unconsciously a little hot, and at this time, a light voice came from the phone: "He's coming?" Then I'll go cook. β
The sixth sister just smiled and didn't comment, but my heart unconsciously rippled a little - like snow, cooking, a very warm feeling.
