It's winter in the north again, and it's late at night.

It's still that small border town, and on such a cold night, there are no pedestrians on the road anymore, except for me.

Coming out of that familiar tavern, I forgot to apologize to the boss and once again drank late into the night at someone else's shop that had long since closed.

When I walked out of the store, I felt that I was drunk, but my heart was awake, and my heart was beating in my chest cavity with habitual pain, but I was already numb to myself in this state, every two or three days, I was always in this state to fall asleep, and it had been a year, if I hadn't been numb, I thought I had died in a corner of pain, right?

Walking out of the store lonely, the boss stopped me, I turned my head a little drunk, and asked a little inarticulately: "Is it because the money is not enough?" ”

"How can it? This year, you have come here almost every day to take care of our two businesses, and once or twice without giving money, I invited you as a brother. "The boss is very honest, upright, and very sincere when he says this.

In this cold night, his words carried a warm heat, but it warmed my cold heart a little.

"What is the matter, brother? It's okay, I have to go back. "The snowflakes fell and landed on my shoulders, and my heart, which had warmed up a little, began to ache and cold again, and I found that many times, I lost the patience to talk to people.

"Big brother, I mean it's freezing this day, and it's a big night, and you're going to stay here for one night? It's so cold, but it's going to freeze to death, and there is a room on the second floor of my shop," the boss said to me.

But before he could finish his sentence, I interrupted him and said, "No, I have to go back, and I can feel better when I go back." Thank you. With that, I turned around, got on my bike, and staggered off on the road.

Behind me was the sound of the kind boss and his family talking, and I heard the boss blaming the boss: "In this big night, this cold, he is so drunk, how can you let him go alone?" What if something happens? ”

"I kept it, but people don't appreciate it, hey, this good young man, he doesn't look like a bad person, why is he so virtuous? Do you want to get yourself drunk? ”

"How can we know? Is there something sad about it? The proprietress said uncertainly.

As the distance widened, their voices became smaller and smaller, so small that I couldn't hear them clearly, and the only thing that was repeatedly filtered in my mind was three words, sad.

Yes, sad things, love in your life or never see each other again, is it considered sad? I insisted on staying in this small town, staying in the house we rented before we came here, and I have been living for a year, waiting for a miracle to appear, waiting for her to appear, but day after day I am disappointed, more and more desperate, is it a sad thing?

"Or never again, or again, everything depends on fate." Thinking of this, I was in a trance, like snow, you shouldn't be lying to me, right? No one answered me, only the snowflakes in the sky.

A person's street is so deserted, on both sides of the street, the yellow light emitted from the windows is so warm, only a few meters away, but I feel that I am in the cold world, and it is as far away as 108,000 miles from that warmth.

There were no tears, my expression was numb, but I didn't know which ones were playing TV, the voice echoed in the cold street, I didn't know what I was talking about, I just pedaled the bicycle mechanically, but gradually I was stunned.

Because I don't know from whose TV, there was a familiar tune, and a female voice sang lightly: "Half cold and half warm autumn, ironing beside you, quietly watching the streamer flying, in the wind"

I suddenly became excited from a daze, I was crazy to find out which window came from this song, if in such a cold street, I actually heard this song, does it mean that my fate with Ruxue is not over?

I was in a trance, and the joy in my heart came inexplicably, I seemed to have returned to many years ago, on the shore of Yueyan Lake, the pavilion with light yarn flying, like snow leaning on my shoulder, looking at the soup on the red clay stove in front of us emitting green smoke, and then softly singing this song to me.

I fell into my memories and finally found which window it was, but because I was in a trance and drunk, I fell off the bicycle at once, and I didn't feel any pain, although my hands were rubbed by the cold ground

I staggered to the window, sat against the wall, and listened quietly to this streamer, my face was already cold tears, but I didn't want to move anymore, let the snowflakes fly on my body, let it bury me, like a snow hug.

In the haze, I felt that my body was getting colder and colder, and the cold snowflakes were not as warm as snow at all, was I wrong? I closed my eyes and giggled numbly, feeling dizzy and even more dazed.

Why don't you just rest here? I lay down on the side of the road, the whole person was already thinking clearly, in the dark, in the haze, I saw Ruxue coming out of the gate, she came to me, I saw the master looking at the side with a smile, and said, "Chengyi, this girl is good, marry her." ”

I had a smile on my face, what could be happier than this? After marrying her, I have lived with you ever since, and then there is a yellow light waiting for me every night?

In my confusion, I heard someone calling me: "Third brother, third brother"

"Inherit one, inherit one"

There are a lot of sounds, but in such a happy moment, how can I be willing to open my eyes, I insist on falling into my own world, I don't want to wake up again, I feel that someone is dragging me, and then I lie in a slightly warmer place, I hear the sound of the engine, is someone driving? If it's to take me out of here, I don't want to

I wanted to struggle, but my whole body was sore, and after humming twice, I finally fell into a deeper and heavier drowsy

―――――――――――――――― dividing line――――――――――――――――――

I don't know how long I slept, I just felt like I was hot, my head hurt, I was groggy, I was thirsty, and I was very uncomfortable, so I started to struggle, and in the struggle, I realized that my eyes were closed, where was I? I snapped my eyes open.

The first thing that catches my eye is a familiar face, the facial features that I have engraved in my heart, like snow? No, it's not her, it's Ruyue, they look very similar, but they can still distinguish the two at a glance.

My eyes changed from surprise to flat, and when I looked up, I saw the familiar ceiling, and I knew that I was still in this small northern border town, that familiar rental house, and that was enough, I was going to wait here like snow!

I'm not at all curious as to why Ruyue is here.

"Third brother, are you awake?" Seeing that I opened my eyes, Ruyue opened her mouth to ask, she held a towel in her hand, and put it on my forehead as she asked.

Do I have a fever? Thinking of this, I suddenly laughed, what's wrong with me? Since I was a child, my master gave me such a good physical foundation, I actually had a fever?

Thinking like this, I nodded at Ruyue, and then shouted: "Drink water", I was startled, why did my voice become so hoarse, and I felt like I couldn't open my mouth to speak.

But I didn't want to, a person helped me up, and then the water was handed to my mouth, I took a look, it was Qin Huai!

"Chengyi, I said why are you like this? Yes, it deserves that Ruyue and I owe you, and you have to come all the way to take care of you, an uncle? Can you TM cheer up a bit? Qin Huai's voice sounded in my ears, but I didn't hear it, 'Gu Dong Gu Dong' drank the warm water in the cup, the water slid down my throat, I felt that my throat was much better, but I still didn't want to speak, and lay on the bed again.

"Come on, don't lie down, I'm going to have to drink the medicine right away." Another voice interjected, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Brother Chengxin coming.

He was still the same clean appearance, and walked in with a bowl of medicinal soup that was emitting a bitter taste in his hand.

My heart tightened all of a sudden, is it time?

I remembered the scene when I was separated here that day, and Brother Chengxin persuaded me: "Let's go, Chengyi, go back with me, you have to see your parents, don't you?" ”

"No, I'm uncomfortable now, I can't go anywhere, I can only stay here, be closer to her, and feel more comfortable!"

"You want to stay here and wait like snow, right? You think she'll come here for you, right? ”

“”

In the end, Brother Chengxin had no choice but to say to me: "Then you stay here, let's pool money outside, do some related things, and when we can sail the day, I will come to you." ”

"Okay, my passbook is in the second drawer of the wardrobe in the house, and the password is XXX, so I should have made up the money."

The past is vivid, Brother Chengxin is here, is we going to sail? The time has finally come, am I going to get out of here?
