We have the same blue sky above our heads and the same land under our feet, but there is a person who has a completely different situation.
Reaching out to open the curtains, the sunlight immediately dispelled the darkness in the rental house, revealing a pale face. Xiao Zhengyang's pupils shrank slightly due to the dazzling sunlight, and it took him a while to recover.
Lean against the bed.
He took a cigarette out of the box, lit it, and started smoking silently.
At this moment.
The floor of his rental house is a mess, with cigarette butts, empty cans, and barely eaten bread.
This day and night.
He lived an extremely decadent life, and his whole person was as desperate as if his soul had been hollowed out.
From the news that Yu Hui had found a partner and that the two were together, Xiao Zhengyang was at a loss and felt dizzy.
Finished smoking.
Xiao Zhengyang stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it directly on the ground.
In the past, this room with an area of only 40 square meters was very clean. Even the window glass had been cleaned inch by inch with a rag.
Available in a short period of time.
Things have changed and people have changed. He has become desolate and has no energy left to clean up.
Because all his energy was drained after getting the news. Now he just wants to lie down, lie down until it is dark, lie down until he can never get up, cover himself with the quilt, and cover his head in the quilt. After a brief silence, there is another sound in the room.
There is a slight choking sound.
A person who has entered the heart.
There is only the right to be injured.
In marriage, a man will only give.
There is only the right to be abandoned.
Xiao Zhengyang cried for a long time, but the pain in his heart still did not diminish, but the tears had gradually dried up through countless crying throughout the day and night.
The crying now is just hurt and choked with sobs, but not a single tear was shed.
Because everyone knows when enough is enough to shed tears, but people don’t understand this truth. They will always torture themselves by drinking, smoking, and crying, which can heal their inner sadness.
Little did I know.
The more this happens.
The more humble and cheap it is.
Suddenly there was a banging on the door outside the rental house.
Xiao Zhengyang, who was nestled in bed, ignored it. Until half an hour later, the sound of banging on the door still sounded occasionally.
He just got up from the bed. When he passed the glass mirror hanging on the wall, Xiao Zhengyang saw himself in the mirror. His eyes were swollen, his lips were dry, and his hair was messy and staggering like unkempt weeds.
For a while.
Xiao Zhengyang feels very strange.
He doesn't recognize the person in the mirror.
Opening the door, an old dog with a lame leg quickly got in.
This dog has all black hair and is still an adult dog. The first time Xiao Zhengyang saw it was when he was riding his bicycle past a trash can in the town when he was off work. At that time, the stray dog's legs must have just been broken.
There was still blood on his face, and he was looking for food with his head down. Xiao Zhengyang couldn't bear it, so he stopped the car and walked into a small supermarket to buy a few ham sausages.
Just started.
As soon as the dog saw him approaching, it immediately raised its head and howled.
With a voice full of fear and intimidation, Xiao Zhengyang peeled off the ham and threw it to it, then turned and left.
It wasn't until the next day that he passed by and saw the dog again. The dog was also very interesting. It actually stopped barking at him and instead waggled its tail at him. Xiao Zhengyang bought a few more ham sausages and fed them to it.
When he got closer, the dog just lowered its head and ate the ham.
Checked the injury of the dog's leg.
Xiao Zhengyang bought some iodophor to disinfect and clean it.
But this dog was very obedient and didn’t struggle at all.
Originally, Xiao Zhengyang planned to take it to a pet hospital for treatment, but he searched for a long time in the town and couldn't find a pet hospital.
I can only give the dog simple treatment based on some basic medical knowledge I learned before.
As for what will happen in the future, Xiao Zhengyang doesn't know, but he has done his best and bandaged the dog's leg, and Xiao Zhengyang went back.
Unexpectedly.
The next day, when he just opened the door of the rental house, the head was already blocking the door of his house, dragging his injured leg.
As soon as I saw him coming out.
He actually shouted "Wow" twice, as if to say hello.
After that.
Xiao Zhengyang, who was in this strange place, became friends with this dog.
Throwing the bread on the table to the ground, Xiao Zhengyang sat in a chair and started to feel dazed again. He hadn't gone to work these days, and he didn't want to go to work, because he suddenly found that life seemed to have lost its meaning, and the candle of hope was swaying in the breeze.
The fire has been extinguished, and there is no longer any thought of pursuing anything.
"Wow wow"
At this time, this stray dog named "Brother Fan" by Xiao Zhengyang interrupted his thoughts.
"Isn't it enough?"
Xiao Zhengyang noticed that "Brother Fan" had finished eating the bread, with an ugly smile on his face. He got up and searched around the room. Finally, he found that there was only cans of beer at home and nothing to eat, so Xiao Zhengyang reached out and rubbed Brother Fan.
He turned his head and said helplessly, "Brother Fan, please be hungry today. I really don't want to go out. Please let me have a good rest."
He turned around and was about to lie back on the bed when he felt his trousers tighten.
It turned out that Brother Fan was biting his trouser leg, supporting his lame hind leg, and dragging him out.
"Brother Fan, please let go, I really don't want to go out"
Xiao Zhengyang patted Brother Fan on the head and pulled his trouser legs.
But after drinking for a whole day and night, he didn't even eat anything. He only ate a few bites of bread. Not only was he haggard, but he was also completely exhausted. How could he be a match for an adult black dog?
Biting a trouser leg, Xiao Zhengyang was dragged out of the rental house by Brother Fan.
In an instant.
The rays of sunshine fell on him, driving away the chill that had tortured Xiao Zhengyang until his hands and feet were cold.
He doesn't have the courage to pick up the phone now and dial the number engraved in his memory.
Ask her why she did this!?
I don’t even have the courage to say, “I’ve been missing you since the divorce.”
"Brother Fan"
Xiao Zhengyang called several times in succession, but his friend Brother Fan still didn't shut up. Holding on to the handrail of the narrow stairs going downstairs, Xiao Zhengyang said helplessly, "Relax, I'll go back and get a cell phone and I'll go downstairs with you."
Brother Fan understood this time.
Sure enough, he let go.
Back in the rental house, Xiao Zhengyang tidied up a little, picked up his mobile phone from the desk he bought at the second-hand furniture store and walked out of the room.
The place where he lives is at the edge of the town.
There was a barbecue restaurant downstairs. Just as he was going downstairs along the welded iron stairs, a song sounded from the barbecue restaurant.
"Brush off the dust quickly, don't dirty your eyes, maybe! You have long been forgotten in the conversation and laughter, and I have already embraced the vicissitudes of life in my face. It takes time to miss me, slowly recover, and write down the past.
It can comfort my heart for a while, and when I look back, I suddenly feel ridiculous..."
The singing is floating in the corners of the city.
It also floated in Xiao Zhengyang's heart.
Went downstairs.
Xiao Zhengyang took this old dog named Brother Fan and walked in the endless flow of people. Then the person and the dog were gradually swallowed up by the crowd, and they could no longer be seen.
