【003】Back under the night
This kind of two-story hotel in a rural town is even simpler than imagined. In the simple environment, the simple atmosphere of rural humanity is filled with the fragrance of rice porridge, the screams of adults shouting and scolding of children, and the smoke rising from the chimney and floating on the roof are all so fascinating.
Jiang Rong, standing against the window, had her eyes blurred, her thoughts gradually faded, and her mind was messy, including playing with her parents when she was young, her adoptive father's words, and her joy at the beginning of her life with Han Bin, as well as her endless nightmare...
"Catch her..." A scream broke through the peace before dusk, and echoed over the town surrounded by mountains for a long time.
Jiang Rong, who heard the shouting, hurriedly poked out half of her head and looked in the direction of the shouting. Under the limitation of visual visibility and distance, a thin figure ran towards her in a panic, and as soon as she saw the alley, she ran away. Behind the thin figure, with the sound of messy and noisy footsteps, several tall figures emerged. From a distance, there were men and women, shouting loudly, dancing the sticks in their hands, as if driving away some wild beasts, chasing the figure in front.
The figure gradually ran into the closest distance of her sight. When she saw that it was a tall and thin girl, she vaguely glanced at her with panic on her face, running wildly, dodging into the lower end of the window where Jiang Rong was.
At the bottom of the window is the back door of the hotel. There are several bare sycamore trees with large branches at the back door. From the back door, there is a green belt, with trees, various flowers, and a shabby chair.
There should be a small square there. The town has a small population, and people living there are allocated from a long distance to teach or want to mine ore.
Lime mines are produced here, and the lime mines of large and small trucks are transported out from here. As soon as the bill is made, the dealers are flowing in the hands of the escaped girls are hidden in the dark and dare not move. They are not until the people chasing and leaving, and then they slowly come out.
Jiang Rong still maintained her original exploratory posture, just staring straight, watching the girl's back disappear into the smog of night, she was too lazy to use her brain to wonder why the girl was chased by someone, and even when the knocking sound came from the door of the room, she didn't want to open the door.
The one knocked on the door was the hotel owner's wife. The boss's wife was of medium size, with clean and neat short hair, a few white pockmarks on her face, and she carried a thermos in one hand and said to Jiang Rong with a smile: "Girl, hot water, go downstairs to have dinner when you are hungry,"
"...Thank you..." Standing lazily, he looked at the boss's wife calmly, and exited the room, "Auntie, I'm not hungry for the time being, don't call me,"
"Oh," the boss's wife agreed gently, cast a tentative look on the other party and left.
As night came, a pale moon rose slowly with a cold glow, climbing up the treetops slowly. The windows that were not closed were trembling slightly, and the shaking window frames bumped from time to time, and there were incoherent sounds.
Jiang Rong sat cross-legged on the bunk, unzipped her backpack, stretched out her slender fingers to look for something in the bag, the room light bulb, the scattered dim beam of light, and stretched her figure sitting cross-legged.
The sound insulation of the hotel is not very good. The rapid sound of the bicycle bells "beeping" is heard from time to time on the street. Occasionally, some children cry loudly. The cat sounds long and short, which look like the sorrow-like cry of the spring. All of them stubbornly invade the eardrums, making her irritable and restless.
Take out the roll of paper from your backpack, knead it into a ball, and stuffed it into your ears. Finally, I couldn't hear the noisy sounds, so I continued to look for the items in my bag.
There are many items worth remembering in the bag, there is a small mirror, oval, yellow back, smooth and durable. She cherishes the most. She is precious to this small mirror, and her hand is still in the bag, taking out the long-lost BB machine. The BB machine is a rose-red shell and is a popular style on the market. This machine was personally selected by Han Bin for her.
The bb machine is still as new as new, but things have changed. The person who accompanied her to buy the bb machine no longer existed. Looking at the bb machine, I felt sad and tears rolled in my heart.
The last few photos he took out were wrapped in newspapers, which were also one of Jiang Rong's most precious items, photos of his parents, and photos taken by his adoptive father and his family with him.
Mom Ran Qin is a beautiful woman from afar, dad Jiang Shuai is a handsome guy, and her parents look at her with a smile, as if she is saying that she has grown taller and is no worse than her mother... Tears are whispering down, one or two drops, ticking on the photo, quickly wipe it off with their fingers, then gently blow the water stains on the photo, and then carefully put them in their backpack.
Picking up the photo of the adoptive parents' home, Brother Chen Jun was handsome and handsome, and his adoptive father looked at him with bright eyes, as if questioning; Rongrong, you have to be obedient, your parents are gone, and we are there.
Looking at the photos, he flattered his mouth, and a sense of grievance came again. Brother Chen Jun, he cursed people very well. He has always been right and wrong. Every time he makes a mistake, he has to scold her and cry...
I sobbed lowly, the more I thought about it, the sadder I felt. I really wanted to cry loudly... Because I cried, my eyes felt like I was getting dirty, and I felt a little painful and sore. I let my hands go down the photo with my hands and lie on my back, facing the ceiling...
Jiang Rong was shocked, and there was a person on the ceiling... It was a little girl with a faint green face and white teeth staring at her resentful... "Ah..." She screamed in a daze, trembling all over, and suddenly woke up from her dream, looking around at a loss, the dim light beam was still the same, and with the help of the wind rushing in from the window, the light bulb was shaking.
Subconsciously raised his head, his neck a little sore, and his fingers were still pinching his adoptive father's photo. I saw that I had just read the photo, but when I was tired of watching it, I actually fell asleep. My mind gradually became clear. I suddenly remembered the scene of seeing a ghost on the ceiling in my dream just now. Subconsciously, I was very nervous and slowly raised my head. Except for a circle of traces that looked like water stains, there was no ghost on the ceiling.
The moment he thought of that ghost, Jiang Rong suddenly felt the urge to draw.
When I thought of it, I did it, got up, found paper and pen, lay it on the bed, and recalled the picture I just saw in my mind. Under the outline of the pen, the sun shone slanted, the shadow of the house was lengthened by the sun, and the shape of a pitiful girl gradually formed in the picture.
A temporary sketched comic was born. This is the comic that Jiang Rong thought was the most carefully drawn. The little girl in the comic was alone, without parents and relatives, and she had been with some mysterious invisible people for a long time... Under the picture, she carefully explained the storyline.
