Chapter 80 I don’t release
This discovery made me feel a little sad. Could it be that Johnny is also Chinese? Otherwise, how could he like Chinese liquor? But Jenny didn’t say that. He should still be Indian.
Thankfully, Wal-Mart was there to accompany me. In India, due to religious beliefs, it is not a very free country to drink and sell alcohol. It is also necessary to have certain channels to obtain ordinary alcohol, let alone the famous Chinese wine.
Wal-Mart was still confused with the bottle of wine in his hand, and it took him a few seconds to ask me, “Chengyi, what did the gentleman in that room say? How could I have heard so much gibberish?”
When Wal-Mart said this, it reminded me of a question. The person in the room should be speaking English, but not Indian English. English is widespread in the world, but due to the differences in accents, the British may not understand the English spoken by Indians with their unique accents.
Wal-Mart has been speaking Chinese with us, but when he speaks English, he also has a strong Indian accent. But the person in the room obviously wasn’t speaking Indian English, but rather the kind of accent that Chinese people speak when they speak English. No wonder Wal-Mart was confused.
“Well, he speaks English, but his accent is different from yours. I think he wants us to buy the same wine before we can meet him. I said to Wal-Mart, do you have a way to get it?” I briefly explained to Wal-Mart, obviously more concerned about whether Wal-Mart could get a bottle of Wuliangye in India.
“Chinese famous wine?” Wal-Mart then remembered to pick up the bottle in his hand to take a look, and recognized the bottle in his hand as soon as he opened his mouth. He was indeed a local tyrant with good taste.
“Damn it, how can such expensive Chinese wine appear in the slums? Most people can’t get it even if they have the money, but this won’t be a problem for me. I can get it tomorrow at the latest, and if necessary, I can even get a lot of it.” Wal-Mart’s eyes flashed with a proud look.
These proud words were obviously heard by Xiao Chengqian, who raised his eyebrows and walked to Wal-Mart with great pride: “Since you can get the wine, why not get us some red wine? I don’t care, just ordinary Lafite, not the 1982 that everyone is chasing. It’s too vulgar. Get me some 1959 bottles.
Wal-Mart blinked, not understanding what Xiao Chengqian meant, and Xiao Chengqian was still dancing and talking: “Red wine is best with cheese. Wal-Mart, you also need to get some edible milk. The 59-year-old Lafite needs to be paired with…”
Chengxin walked up and covered Xiao Chengqian’s mouth with his hand. He smiled apologetically at Wal-Mart and said, “Don’t pay any attention to him. He’s having a fit.”
“He’s sick?” Wal-Mart was extremely surprised.
“The young master is sick.” Brother Chengxin smiled elegantly.
“Get out of here, don’t make a racket in front of my door. Don’t you know that the only pleasure for poor people is to sleep in the afternoon?” Just as we were talking, there was another burst of English cursing from inside the tin house, which made us too afraid to speak.
I couldn’t help but step forward and ask loudly, “Hey, can I ask you a question? Are you Johnny?”
“Fuck your mother’s question. Everything will be decided when the wine arrives.” The man in the room seemed to be very irritable. Instead of answering my question, he directly scolded me.
This made me a little embarrassed, but I didn’t want to give up this rare clue, so I just kept quiet for a moment and asked everyone to leave.
I have to admit that Wal-Mart is very capable. The Wuliangye that I said I could only get the next day was delivered to my door that night, and I was very respectful to receive it.
“I think this should be enough, right?” After getting the wine, Wal-Mart came to me very proudly to claim credit. I hadn’t even had time to praise him when I noticed that Ruyue had come to my room.
“Brother San, would you like to chat for a while?” Ru Yue said to me.
Then Wal-Mart walked away with a hangover, but I clearly saw him take a few steps and become happy again, because he was walking towards Xiao Chengqian’s room, presumably to ask Xiao Chengqian for praise.
Ru Yue also saw this scene and couldn’t help but laugh, “Volma is quite interesting.”
“Yes, although our days are not very peaceful, we have met many interesting people. How is your body?” I asked casually.
“It’s recovering well. After I return to the village, I’ll have to find the witch doctor to think of a way to remove the scar. I’m afraid it will leave a scar.” Ru Yue said this with a worried look on her face.
“Actually, you don’t have to worry so much. The witch doctor in the village should be able to help. If that doesn’t work, let Brother Chengxin find a way to transfer the scar for you. Girls are trouble. I don’t think Qin Huai will care.” I said to Ru Yue, half joking and half comforting.
This made Ru Yue blush and she couldn’t help but spit at me and say, “Who cares if he cares? It’s me who cares.”
Looking at Ru Yue at this moment, she looked like a little girl, with a touch of wilfulness. I couldn’t help but think of her when she was little. Between her mood swings, I couldn’t help but habitually touch her black hair and said seriously, “Girl, you will be very happy in the future. Qin Huai is a good person.”
“You’re just saying that because you’re his brother.” Ru Yue gave me a look and then said seriously, “But, Third Brother, you have to be happy too.”
I didn’t say anything. Happiness? The happiness I want seems to be far away from me, so far that I no longer want to hope for it. What can I say about happiness now?
Thinking about this, I couldn’t help but take out a cigarette, light it, and then ask Ru Yue, “Girl, what do you want to talk to me about?”
“It’s about your happiness.” Ru Yue’s expression became serious, looking out the window and saying softly, “Third Brother, although our days are now drifting, although they are unimaginable to ordinary people, no matter how wonderful the days are, they will eventually return to peaceful years. Perhaps that is the real years, just like everyone, ordinary people, have a home, have a companion, can accompany their parents, raise children, and so on, right?
“Right, but such days seem a little far away from me now.” I exhaled a puff of smoke and then asked lightly, “Girl, something is wrong with you tonight. What are you trying to say?”
“I… I want to say that, Third Brother, you should let go of my sister and forget about her.” Ruyue hesitated for a moment, but finally blurted out these words.
My brows furrowed, and I subconsciously resisted such words.
“Third brother, you have parents, you have to be filial to them, and you also… In short, you should find a warm girl to accompany you, to accompany you through ordinary days, not to always think of my sister.” When I saw that she was silent, she simply added emphasis to her tone.
“Okay, I’m a little tired tonight and don’t want to talk about this.” I was cold as snow to her attitude, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love her and am willing to let her go. She is like the most untouchable place in my heart, and it hurts when I touch her. The pain makes me irritable, and I don’t want to act up.
“Third brother, can you stop avoiding it? It’s obvious that there’s no hope left, and you’re torturing both of us.” Ruyue didn’t care about my resistance at all, but instead said further, poking a sharp pain in my heart.
“Tormenting two people? Which two people?” I suddenly sounded cold.
“My sister, isn’t that right?” Ruyue ignored my attitude.
“Do you think she is suffering? Don’t you know that since she appeared, she hasn’t even wanted to see me?”
“Since there is no hope, it is futile to see her. Don’t you understand? This doesn’t mean that my sister doesn’t care! Besides… Third brother, it’s you, isn’t it? You haven’t given up hope of being with my sister, which is why you are so resentful. If you weren’t resentful and could calmly know the reason why my sister doesn’t see you like an outsider, then I wouldn’t have to come here tonight to say this to you. Maybe you know it too, but knowing it can’t offset her resentment of not seeing you, right? You may think that I am standing here talking without any worries, but I am just as distressed as you are about my sister. She is in a place where she is cut off from the world, and she is still worried about a man who refuses to let her go. She is guilty of not letting him go, and she is afraid that she will delay his happiness. How can you bear to let her carry this burden? When Ruyue spoke, tears were already in her eyes.
“Get out!” I lost my temper with Ru Yue for the first time, pushing her out of the door. I knew it was irrational, but in matters of love, if you can be rational, I’m afraid it’s not deep enough!
I must admit that I love this woman so much that even if others persuade me to forget her, I will resist to the core of my soul. No one can extinguish my hope. No matter how cold-hearted I am, how resentful I am, or how ruthless I am, I just can’t, I just can’t let her go.
“Third brother, have you forgotten what Grandpa Jiang told you? The red dust of the world is a test of the heart, and letting go is a kind of tempering. Don’t you want this too?” Ru Yue’s voice came from outside the door.
I leaned against the door, smoking a cigarette, looking out at the moonlight outside the window, squinting my eyes, and refusing to speak.
“Third brother, I couldn’t let you go either. I didn’t know if I could be with Qin Huai after I married him. But I forced myself to do it until the other day when I blocked the knife for you. At that time, I told myself, okay, the Ru Yue who likes third brother has died since that day. If I owed you in my previous life, I would have paid it back in this life at that moment. After I woke up, I saw Qin Huai and I was really able to accept him. Third brother, don’t resist, okay? Try to do it.” Ru Yue’s voice was full of tears, and she sounded especially pitiful.
I already felt something was wrong when I heard these words, and suddenly opened the door and looked at Ruyue, saying, “Who told you to say these things to me? You never used to advise me like this before!”
Ruyue first looked at me, and when she heard me ask, she suddenly lowered her head and said, “It was me, third brother. Think about it carefully.”
After that, Yueyue went downstairs, and I looked at her back, my mouth bitter. Yueyue, why did you have to persuade me like this?
Outside the window, the moon is cold and the wind is clear. Do you want me to be like many years ago, to my master, and also say to you, “I won’t let go.”?
