Chapter 36 Eucalyptus

I still drank like this all night, and I didn’t open my eyes until near noon the next day. Suddenly, I decided to pack my things and go back to Jiujiang. Half an hour later, I went out with the suitcase.

"Goodbye Ouyang, I'm going home to study, I can't visit you often, don't be lonely by yourself~" Looking at Ouyang's photo on the cabinet by the door, I took it after thinking about it, and stuffed it into my backpack

After an hour's drive, I got off the train at Jiujiang and lit a cigarette on the platform. It was raining outside and I felt sick from the cold. When I got out of the station, I buttoned my hat tightly, and tucked my hands into my sleeves. Grabbing suitcases inside, but that doesn't protect against the cold

"Handsome guy~ Do you want to take a car..." "Handsome guy, do you want to stay in a hotel? 30 a night~" "Dining, handsome guy~" As soon as I got out of the station, the scalpers swarmed up. The station in Jiujiang has not changed at all, and I laughed refused

Send a message to Ouyang's WeChat "I'm in Jiujiang, it's safe, don't worry about me~" and "I'm going to study, I can't use my phone often in the future, wait until I finish the exam..."

I know there will be no response, it's just a psychological sustenance

I found a guest house near No. 50 Middle School. It costs [-] per night. It’s too expensive. After all, this is the only condition

After settling down, I wandered around, but there was still no change. Generally, there were only a few people around Gantang Lake at night. I was so bored that I hid in an Internet cafe...

Played League of Legends a few times, lost badly and couldn’t continue playing, and played Crossfire and QQ Speed ​​for a while, it was not fun anymore, and then I started watching TV

Accompanied by the sentence "Fuck!" The stool I was sitting on was slapped hard, and I turned around, that face was so familiar

"You are..." Suddenly remembered "Yang Le?"

"What a coincidence, brother, I came to surf the Internet on the second day of the Lunar New Year." He smiled very nicely, especially with big eyes, and there were lying silkworms under them, and the mood that was bad enough suddenly improved a lot

"I also just arrived in Jiujiang at noon, isn't this boring~"

He sat down next to me, and then greeted several other friends to sit in my row

"I almost didn't recognize it just now~"

"Isn't it? After all, it's been so long~" In fact, it's true. What happened during the period after the Guanglian exam was enough to make me feel bad. I have to remember that this person who only met once is really not good. easy

I asked him again, "How did you recognize me at a glance, so amazing?"

He laughed and said, "Isn't it? You look unusual, so you're easy to recognize~"

"???? Where am I unusual?"

"It's as if I've seen you somewhere before... How should I put it... Anyway, it's the kind that you can recognize at the first sight." He logged into the League of Legends and asked me, "Are you masturbating?"

"You are also Overwatch, so am I, and so are they? Do all Jiujiang people play Overwatch?" Just like that, I spent the afternoon in the Internet cafe again.

When it was past five or six o'clock, Yang Le didn't want to call anymore, and asked me, "Where are you going for dinner?"

I shook my head, and suddenly remembered that I hadn't eaten lunch yet, but I didn't feel hungry, so I just said casually, "I'll order takeaway from the hotel next time, aren't you going home?"

"What kind of takeaway are you eating? Let's go eat together. I know there is a restaurant nearby. The dishes are delicious. Would you like to go?"

I was still hesitating, and he paid my computer, "Let's go, let's go, I won't lie to you"

Out of the Internet cafe, I turned a street corner and saw a flower shop by chance. When passing by, the green plants Ouyang's favorite grass were placed outside

"Wait a minute" I said casually, and then entered the flower shop

"Boss, how do you sell that?" I pointed to it

"One for three yuan, two for five yuan, 21 sticks"

I bought one and asked the boss to wrap it carefully. The one in Ouyang's house was completely yellow and dead.

"Why did you buy this?" Yang Le asked, "Eucalyptus?"

"you recognize?"

He snorted twice and said, "It's okay. I don't even know tulips and carnations. I only know this one. Is this grass?"

I asked him, "How did you know each other? I thought there would be very few people you knew~"

He scratched his head, "It's really shameless to say it, it was given to me by my ex-girlfriend... He said... I'm quite smelly, put it next to me to purify the air~~" He said, "It's for human beings, not for anything..."

"Hahaha I know, but it's quite shameless." I echoed in an attempt to ease the embarrassment

After eating a meal, he rushed to pay the bill. In fact, he didn't eat a lot of money, but from this point of view, he is still very good.

"Didn't your family come with you? Do you want to pack something and bring it to them?"

I hesitated for a while, and said, "They didn't come with me. Anyway, I am no stranger to Jiujiang. If I can come alone, can I come alone?"

"That's right, I'm not young anymore, I can't count on my family if I can be alone." We walked out of the restaurant, and he asked, "Where do you live? Do you want to see you?"

"It's okay, I guess I have to take a taxi, it should be quite far, you go back first"

After saying goodbye to him, I still chose to walk along the direction of the Gantang Lake, put the eucalyptus in my hand to my nose and smell it, "If you can find something on Baidu, don't ask others ~ Kuailian I passed the exam, so you don’t come to me anymore~” The words Ouyang said came to my mind again, and I quickly put them down

Back at the residence, the hostel has no air conditioner, so I barely took a warm shower, and got into the cold quilt when I got out of the toilet. The winter in the south is really cold and uncomfortable.

When I went to bed, I carefully wiped the photo frame containing Ouyang’s photo and put it on the pillow next to me. Eucalyptus was inserted into the leftover mineral water bottle. There was no warm corner in the whole room. Although there was a hint of sunshine, it was still it's not warm

I was dreaming again, this time the dream was different, very interesting, I was laughing all the time, in my dream I suddenly ran to North Korea, walking aimlessly on the street, when suddenly I was dragged into the alley with my mouth covered

"Shut up~ someone is chasing me outside..." The voice was so familiar, I turned around and saw it was Ouyang, but I was laughing instead of crying

"You're not dead, I thought you were really dead~" I hammered his shoulder, laughing all the time

"It makes you suffer. As a first-level national agent, I am also very embarrassed. Because this mission is special, I have to fake the news of my death. The purpose is actually to attract a transnational drug gang. They think that I can continue to make trouble after I die. Endangering the security of the motherland, they don't know that they have already fallen into our trap..." He said a lot, and I laughed out loud

"So powerful, when will you catch them?"

Ouyang poked his head out to look around, and came back and said, "Just tonight, they thought we didn't know if they chose to trade in North Korea. This time we are working together with Interpol, and we will definitely catch them all!"

Later, for some reason, he said he was afraid that I would be in danger, so he wore sunglasses and a mask, and drove me to Pyongyang Airport (hahaha, I can’t make it up anymore, is there an airport in Pyongyang)

"You go back first, and hurry back when I finish my task tonight, and we can be reunited tomorrow."

"Then you must come to me~" I waved

"You go, the sun is out, I should go too~" I woke up as soon as he finished speaking

I sat up from the bed and felt no cold at all, and the quilt was warm. Although it was a dream, I still looked at the sun outside the window and smiled happily. I always have to live a new day happily

Get up and pack your bags. After one night, the whole room smells of eucalyptus. I hope that the sweet dream last night is thanks to it

I went to the front desk to renew the room and then went to the bus station. I must go to Mount Lushan in such a cold day. It was still early, and it was only after eight o'clock. I thought I would go there early and come back early. Expensive

Although it is winter, there are evergreen camphor trees at the bottom of the mountain. It is different when you reach the mountain. The altitude determines the temperature at the top of the mountain. There is still a little sunshine at the bottom of the mountain, but there is no more on the mountain. The best thing to see is the foggy pine. Because of the low temperature, the branches of the pine trees are covered with ice. The whole mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and there are iron trees and silver flowers everywhere.

I took some photos and ate a bowl of ramen at noon, because the food was too expensive and I couldn’t afford it. I took a car down the mountain after walking around the West Sea in the afternoon. It was so cold that I couldn’t stand it.

"Haha, I went to Mount Lushan today. This is the first time I have come to Mount Lushan in winter. I wanted to come with you, but it doesn't matter. I will treat you as if you are always there." Wechat message sent to Ouyang, and sent a few more pictures taken today Photo

"Don't worry, I won't run around in the future, I will tell you wherever I go~" After sending the message, I was very sleepy, and fell asleep on the bus in a daze

When I woke up again, the car was already at the bottom of the mountain. The driver woke me up and claimed that I was a passenger who could still fall asleep on the mountain road he had seen for so many years. I laughed and gave the driver a cigarette and got off the car.

Back at the hotel, the quilt and pillows were arranged well again, and a new disposable toothbrush and toothpaste were installed in the bathroom. So well packed, I feel like my life has been invaded

Fortunately, the mineral water bottle and eucalyptus are still there, and the room still smells like that

In this way, the other few days passed by wandering around the guest house, and the time suddenly came to the seventh day of the junior high school, the day when the third middle school started

The notice in the morning was to arrive at school at [-] o'clock, but Yang Le insisted on calling WeChat at [-] o'clock to wake me up

"Get up quickly, you have a lot of things to do~" His tone was very energetic, and he said, "Remember to bring the file with you"

"Yeah, I'm getting up now~"

I met him at the gate of No. [-] Middle School at [-]:[-], and then had breakfast at the gate of the school. I suddenly found that although it was early, there were quite a lot of people coming

"Most of their families live far away, so they have to come so early, and there is no car when it is late~" Yang Le said while drinking porridge and steamed buns

"Then does your school sell quilts and the like?"

"Yes~ Everything you need for the dormitory is available at school. I'll take you there later~"

I was still chatting with him, when a few people suddenly walked in, some in baseball uniforms, some in bread jackets, and some in leather jackets... They didn't look like any good people at first sight

"Yo, who is this coming back~" They came in and sat next to Yang Le, asking him "Who is this brother?"

Yang Le raised his eyebrows, sighed, and said, "New transfer, my friend~" After he finished speaking, he looked up at me, and I understood

"I'm done eating, where can I sign up?" I got up, wiped my mouth and looked at them from the corner of my eye

"Let's go, I'll take you~" After saying hello to those people, he led me into the school gate

"Who were those people just now?" I asked him

He snorted twice, and said, "You're only going to study here for half a year. Try not to have any contact with them."

I nodded, and he said, "In this school, it's best not to smoke during the day."

"You know that I smoke?" I thought I was hiding well from him...

"Last time when you surfed the Internet, you put a pack of cigarettes in front of your keyboard, thinking I didn't see it." Then he said, "You can smoke when you go back to the dormitory at night, not because you are afraid of being caught by the school, just..." He clicked his tongue twice, and continued, "This school is a bit sloppy. Chaos, let them know that you are not good at smoking”

The school is not too big. After walking around with Yang Le, it was only 07:30. At this time, teachers came one after another.

"Let's go, our homeroom teacher should be here, my dad said hello to him, just go directly"

In fact, I am very afraid of suddenly blending into an unfamiliar environment, especially in a new school. Yang Le’s class is on the top floor, and his office is also on the top floor. I follow him and lower my head, because I dare not raise my head to meet those people’s eyes. , can feel, they're all looking at me, know I'm new here

Entering the office on the top floor, the class teacher Yang Le is really there, and several students are already surrounded by the desk

"Old Jiang, I'm coming!" He shouted as soon as he entered the door.

"Little Fatty is here~" "Little Fatty, long time no see~" "Little Fatty is fat again!"

The head teacher looked at me and asked, "Is the one at the door a new transfer?"

I'm so embarrassed that I explode, the portfolio is almost torn apart by me

"Yes, teacher~" I walked inside, my brain had lost the ability to organize language

"That's fine, Yang Le, you can take him to the financial office to teach him the tuition fees, and then hand over the file to the teaching office~"

My day, it turned out that this trip was just to meet the head teacher, so I followed him all the way downstairs to the complex building

It took a lot of hard work, and finally all the processes were completed.

"Wow, I'm exhausted, look at my hard work, why don't you treat me to a meal at noon?"

I smiled awkwardly, "Okay, okay, no problem~"

I don’t know if it’s the heat, or it’s not so cold anymore. I walked on the road with Yang Le, and the camphor trees began to lose their leaves, and the wind became less biting. It seemed that everything was alive.

During the meal, Yang Le asked me, "Do you like eucalyptus? Doesn't it smell very good? It feels like... something is burnt~"

What should I say, I can only say "The ex-partner liked it very much, and then I also fell in love with it for no reason~"

"The relationship is very deep!" He said, picked up the Sprite and toasted me, took a sip and said, "Then why don't you make up?"

I shook my head, "Let him pass, besides, this thing may be a bit difficult..."

He patted the table, "Isn't it difficult? As long as you still like her, she still likes you a little bit. As long as you are bold, careful and thick-skinned, it's nothing..."

"He's dead~" Before he finished speaking, I said something lightly, and continued to eat after speaking, my heart was actually very prickly

The atmosphere of the scene was awkward for a while, and neither of us said a word until after the meal.
