Antidote

Since Cheng Yi called to call him home that day and was refused, Cheng Ke's cell phone hasn't rang again, no phone calls, and no news.

Everyone has a holiday and it's the New Year.

People who want to celebrate the New Year are connected, but the New Year is forgotten.

What's more, he is a person who has left the life circle from small to large, but has not integrated into any new life circle.

In this special day, I am afraid that no one will think of him again.

No, the hotel remembers him.

He received a New Year gift from the hotel.

No, this is not remembered.

Here, like many others, he is called "Dear Guest", not Cheng Ke.

He opened the gift, which contained several boxes, with snacks, dried fruits, and a box of fresh fruits, all things that the family would prepare during the Chinese New Year.

Cheng Ke took an egg roll and ate it, glancing at the time, it was not yet noon.

If I go out now, there must be no place to eat, so he stuffed a bag of egg rolls into his coat pocket and took the notebook out of the door.

The car can still be reached, even if you can't get a car, it only takes twenty minutes to walk from the hotel to the store.

Cheng Ke took a look at his coats hanging in the hotel cabinets one by one when going out. It was very cold today. He opened the window for a while in the morning. The wind pouring in from the window swept his face and the whip with water on it Similar.

He pulled back and forth a few times and picked the thickest one, Jiang Yu seized the same paragraph.

He always wanted to find Jiang Yuduo's thick coat of the same style, but he did not know what the wholesale market bought it. He tried to go to the nearby vegetable market and found this one in the clothing area.

To be honest, in addition to being very heavy, it is incomparable with Jiang Yuduo's, and it is more than 500. He always feels whether the boss sees him as a fool and temporarily raises his price. The mouth is 800. Out of price...

If Jiang Yuduo is helping you by the side, it is estimated that it can be won by three hundred. After all, his one is better than this one, and it is only more than four hundred... No, if Jiang Yuduo is to be, just go buy him. That piece is the same.

Cheng Ke was wearing this thick coat and carrying a bag of fireworks bought yesterday standing at the elevator door and found that he had been thinking about Jiang Yu.

After hesitating for a long time, when the elevator door opened, he turned back to the room.

Changed the second thickest coat.

Then press the elevator again.

This coat was obviously not as good as the previous one. After getting out of the hotel and getting in a taxi for a few seconds, he already felt cold.

There were no more people on the street at this time. The sound of firecrackers rang everywhere. The whole world outside the window was covered with smoke and snow. The driver drove the car all the way and hurried to pull him back home.

The phone rang, and Cheng Ke glanced at it.

News from Xu Ding.

-Are you really not coming to my house? My family is very crowded and lively now

-Really no thanks, see you on the third day

-Alright, Happy New Year

-happy New Year

Cheng Ke put the phone back in his pocket. Within two minutes, the news rang again. He took the phone out again, this time Lin Xu's message.

-Happy New Year, Brother Cheng, have time to drink

-happy New Year

Cheng Ke sighed softly. Lin Xu was quite a few people. After meeting Jiang Yuduo in the bar last time, he never contacted him again and asked no more.

Looking at this seemingly casual sentence at this moment, he remembered that he had never given Lin Xu any explanation, and he was a little embarrassed.

It didn't take long for the news to return, and the car had arrived.

After Cheng Ke got out of the car, the car swept away, and he was standing in the old north wind mixed with snowflakes and smoke, almost unable to find the direction.

When I took out the key and opened the door, there was a little trembling, just like the fate of the last days. The people around him had already escaped. He found a hut where he could hide...

How did the mother open the rolling gate?

Oh opened.

Nothing changed in the shop. He turned on the light and sat on a paint bucket on the first floor.

He plans to go up from the first floor, go over the details they discussed that day, and draw a sketch to feel it.

In these days, it's a bit hard to find something for yourself and want to carry it.

Although he prepared a bag of fireworks for himself, he now does not want to look at them at all.

The phone rang again.

He sighed, it wasn't until 12 o'clock, how could each one be so positive.

This time is coach Xiao Yang.

A template greeting for Happy New Year was sent, followed by another.

-Brother Cheng, you have been a bit lazy lately. How long has it been since you practiced? Have to step up in years

Cheng Ke flicked his finger back and forth on the screen for a long time, and finally returned a word.

-it is good

He seldom sends messages to people like this. In the past, his friends didn’t send such a pile of Happy New Year. He usually chooses to ignore these kinds of messages. Now he wants to reply, but he doesn’t know if he can reply. what.

Panicked.

He hesitated again when he was about to quit and clicked into the circle of friends.

The first thing that catches the eye is the new and young Hetu, which has a total of ninety and eighty brush screens. The advertisements in the store do not even have a break during the New Year.

Cheng Ke slowly turned down every message of General Protection Law very seriously, which was time-consuming and dazzling.

Then he was a little uneasy to find out that the last time General Protection Law appeared with Jiang Yu's appearance as the Global Support Association was ten days ago.

The text content is two words, party.

Brought a few photos.

On the edge of the flower bed in the small garden in the middle of the street where they usually stay.

Jiang Yuduo and his little brothers.

Cheng Ke clicked on the photo and pulled his finger to zoom in, wanting to see Jiang Yuduo's face in the smoke.

However, after only zooming in once, the photo can no longer be enlarged.

"Fuck!" Cheng Ke was very speechless.

This picture seems to be taken by his mother on a landline. The pixels are outrageously low and his hands are trembling. Every picture is blurred when enlarged.

He could only helplessly stare at the unmagnified photo.

Jiang Yuduo is still the same, a unique temperament that can be seen at a glance among a group of people.

With a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes didn't know where to look, with an impatient indifferent look on his face.

Where did Jiang Yu snatch?

Not with Chen Qing?

According to Chen Qing’s habit, as long as Jiang Yuduo is next to him, he will definitely send pictures, but now he has not mentioned Jiang Yuduo for ten consecutive days...

Cheng Ke withdrew and clicked into Jiang Yuduo's album.

Empty.

I can't even see the small dew point picture.

Cheng Ke stared at the phone for a long time, and sighed softly.

From six o'clock in the evening, the sound of firecrackers around was crazy like an explosion.

It was more than ten o'clock at this time, a little quieter, like an outbreak waiting for 11:30.

Jiang Yuduo grabbed the meow, put it on a stone pier of the bridge railing, and then pulled up a tiger's head hat on his head, and gathered up and shouted, "Don't move! I'll take a picture of you!"

Meow is worthy of being a stray cat. He has basically adapted to the crazy sounds around him, plus he is wearing clothes and wearing a hat on his head. At this moment, his attention is on the hat. Planed down.

Jiang Yuduo took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of it. The effect was pretty good. He looked like a local tyrant. He sent the photo to a friend and wrote a few words.

Meow wealthy.

"Go," Jiang Yudui picked it up and tucked it into his coat, "turned around."

There was no one on the street, and no one could see clearly. Jiang Yuduo deliberately controlled himself and did not observe the surroundings.

Sister Luo invited him to eat New Year's Eve dinner at home tonight, but he refused. For so many years, apart from the Chen Qing family, he hadn't even been to the Lu Qian's family during New Year's Eve dinner.

He didn't feel much about the New Year, either lively or deserted, he was quite numb.

No matter what kind of emotions you have, you have to relate to yourself to realize it. In the lives of others, you are always just a supporting role.

And his life is empty.

His cell phone rang. It should not be Chen Qing. Chen Qing has made 3,675 calls today. Counting the calls made every day the other day, I can add a piece of it Gold.

The phone call was from Lucie: "Why don't you look at your phone, and sent you a red envelope, and quickly received it!"

"Oh." Jiang Yuduo responded.

"Oh what, give me a New Year!" Lucie said.

"Happy New Year, sister." Jiang Yuduo smiled and smiled.

"Good boy, after playing enough, hurry back and call Chen Qing and eat them together." Lu Qian said.

"Well." Jiang Yuduo responded.

After hanging up the phone, he opened WeChat and saw Lucie's red envelope...to be exact, it was a transfer.

A red packet of ten thousand yuan, very fat.

He collected the money and gave Lucie another sentence.

-Thank you sister.

When he was about to quit, he paused and clicked on Cheng Ke's album.

He rarely thinks of Cheng Ke these days, even when he sees the Jaeger-LeCoultre in his bag, he doesn't feel much, just remember that this is Cheng Ke's watch, and for Cheng Ke, the meaning of this watch It is "unhappy".

But when looking at Cheng Ke's name at this moment, he suddenly felt nervous, unable to say it was afraid, resisted, or still looking forward to it.

Cheng Ke's album has been empty before, and this person has never posted a circle of friends.

But today it was sent, just ten minutes ago.

No words, no expression, only a photo.

On the photo is a firework like a colored fountain, which fills almost the whole picture.

Jiang Yuduo took a picture and zoomed in slowly.

The firework's light also grew a little bit, and finally turned into a hazy light spot.

Cheng Ke should set off fireworks with friends.

Xu Ding, Lin Xu, or someone else.

Those friends who live in the same world as Cheng Ke pose no threat to him and will not bring him any trouble.

Cheng Ke, who left him, was safe from any injuries he had ever worried about.

Jiang Yudui opened the dialog.

His conversation with Cheng Ke stayed a long time ago with little content.

He hesitated to poke a few times on the screen and typed the words Happy New Year.

When Meow protruded his head from his coat, he quickly deleted these words, then quit, and put the phone back in his pocket.

Cheng Ke said they are still friends.

Jiang Yuduo is not quite sure if this is the truth, or is he afraid of being sad, or perhaps Cheng Ke's upbringing.

The phone rang in his pocket.

He didn't move, sitting on a bench on the roadside and lighting a cigarette.

The weather here is not bad. This time, this season, there is no snow, no crazy old north wind, and even green leaves on the trees.

He took the meow out of his coat and put it on the ground. This suit was equipped with a towing rope, but he was useless.

If he keeps a dog, he must be a bad citizen, the one who walks a dog without a leash.

Any tethered animal will make him palpitate.

In the memory, those chained to the iron chain, twitching his teeth at him, eyes full of horrified animals.

Many of them were captured by him. At night, stray animals hiding in various corners.

He still remembers some things clearly.

Maybe he remembered everything. Forgetting was just an excuse. Every nightmare reminded him that he had not forgotten anything.

Just like he thought Cheng Ke had already disappeared, he suddenly realized that he was not even fuzzy.

Cheng Ke looked at the phone, and half an hour later, Jiang Yuduo did not reply to him.

He sighed.

But when he saw the reluctant meow wearing a big red vest with white edging and a red Leifeng cap, he had a long time again.

Jiang Yuduo should have traveled somewhere, a place without snow.

He put the last small fireworks on the open ground, quivering a cigarette, and ignited the fuze in the past.

When the small spark came out, he just took the phone and wanted to take a picture. After a while, the old fan came over, the tube was blown down instantly, and the spark came to him.

"Your uncle!" Cheng Ke turned and ran, and fled back to the store in a few steps.

After watching the fireworks through the glass door, it came out before it came out again. After stepping on my feet, I was sprayed with several pieces of shredded paper shells, and the flames were extinguished.

It’s only 20 minutes to stay outside. Cheng Ke has no way to distract from boredom and loneliness.

He stood in the shop for a while, put on his coat, wrapped himself up and went out.

Go back to the hotel and sleep.

There was no car at this time. He trot all the way to the hotel, but he didn't feel cold. The supermarket in the hotel was still open. He went in and bought two bottles of wine, and returned to his room.

Jiang Yuduo did not reply to his news. Although it was no big deal, he still gave him a very fistful of cotton punches in this extraordinary state of extraordinary life.

This night, he stood outside the world of everyone, even outside the world where Jiang Yuduo protected him nervously.

In order to be able to fall asleep in this extremely lonely situation, he returned to the room and drank two bottles of red wine.

Alcohol is okay, better than those opened in the supermarket opposite.

He lay on the bed, and he should actually buy white wine. The two bottles of red wine, besides giving him a little bracing, the hypnotic effect has not yet been reflected.

Lying so staring, his back started to numb, and he was still asleep.

But it seemed a little dizzy. When the phone rang, he didn't hear the direction of the sound suddenly. When he touched the phone from the side of the pillow, he turned his head and found that he was indeed dizzy, and the words on the screen were not clear. .

"Hello?" He answered the phone.

"Happy New Year." Someone said in the receiver.

Cheng Ke froze: "Jiang Yuduo?"

"Well," Jiang Yuduo responded, and was silent for a while, "I just saw the news from you."

"Oh," Cheng Ke glanced at the phone, and it was almost two hours since the message was sent. It is now twelve o'clock. "It's too noisy."

"No noise," Jiang Yuduo said, "I heard the phone ringing, but I never watched it."

"...Ah," Cheng Ke smiled, Jiang Yuduo was so straightforward, "Happy New Year."

"Did you...have you set off fireworks? That's pretty." Jiang Yuduo said.

"It's okay to play," Cheng Ke said. "Just bought it, it's finished in five minutes, and the last one almost burned me."

"Can it all burn?" Jiang Yuduo was a little surprised. "Did you light the torch?"

"Get out," Cheng Ke laughed.

"Are you alone?" Jiang Yuduo asked, hesitating.

Cheng Ke hesitated and cleared his throat: "Yes."

"I thought..." Jiang Yuduo was stunned. "Aren't you with your friends?"

Cheng Ke laughed: "I said, I have a different definition of friend from you. I don't have friends who can be mixed up like this."

Jiang Yuduo did not speak.

"You..." Cheng Ke didn't want to ask, but thought it was too deliberate, so he still opened his mouth, "Are you traveling with meow?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yuduo smiled. "Did you see the picture?"

"Yeah, it's funny," Cheng Ke said.

"I didn't travel." Jiang Yuduo said.

Cheng Ke waited for a while to see that he seemed to have finished speaking, so he could only answer: "Oh."

"I'm here to see my psychologist." Jiang Yuduo said.
