"Let's go?" Tao Ling said, after thinking about it, Wen Qingying couldn't hear him, so he pointed to the road in front of him and made a simple gesture of invitation.
Wen Qingying looked at him and nodded lightly, but didn't move.
The path between the tombs can only be passed by one person, Tao Ling paused, and walked out ahead of him.
One after the other, the two walked silently through Berlin, passing one grave after another. Stepping on the road with lights, Tao Ling politely slowed down, and Wen Qingying followed.
Going down the stairs built on the low mountain, it was already dark, and there was only the sound of the wind around, as if the two of them were left alive in the entire cemetery.
At first, Tao Ling felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was a stranger. It was annoying to greet each other, and it was strange not to speak. But after half a minute, he suddenly realized that Wen Qingying was deaf and mute. His quietness is different from others' quietness, at least not embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Tao made the whole person relax.
When approaching the exit, Tao Ling habitually walked to the far right, far away from the room where the tomb keeper was on duty. Wen Qingying didn't react, just walked with him.
It wasn't until he was standing on the side of the road that Tao Ling thought of a problem.
Inexplicably, a funny scene appeared in his mind. When he heard Qingying on the subway, because he couldn't hear the door closing alarm, he stepped on the door and caught his shirt on the back, and his two long arms were in vain in the air. He waved, his expression indifferent to describe suffocation.
It was a little funny, and then Tao Ling gave himself a string of ellipses.
He stopped, took out his phone and typed, Wen Qingying knew that he was going to speak, so he just waited.
"Is it convenient for you to take transportation?" Tao Ling put the phone in front of him for him to see. It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that Wen Qingying was really tall, and visually he was more than half a head taller than himself.
Wen Qingying nodded after reading that sentence, and took out his mobile phone, writing: "But I won't go back to the city today, it's very close to the town of the Holy Maiden, I'll go from here tomorrow morning to buy goods."
Shengnvxiang is the largest flower planting base in the city. It is backed by an ancient town. There is a very large flower market in it. It is also an interesting scenic spot.
He didn't react on his face at this time, but his mind, body and mind were disabled.
Wen Qingying seemed to know what he was thinking, so he typed a series of words and showed him with his mobile phone: "I'm fine, life is very convenient. Thank you for your concern, sir."
Tao Ling smiled meaningfully.
After this silent exchange, the two sides waved goodbye.
Tao Ling went to take the bus and turned the road on the right. Walking up to the bus stop, turning his head to the side, he happened to see Wen Qingying waiting for the red light not far away.
The young man stood under the lamp post at the intersection, his face was quiet, his body was tall and straight, and his whole body was covered with a layer of shimmering light.
Back in the city, Tao Ling ate something hastily downstairs, and when he went home and turned on the lights, he shouted, "I'm back."
Naturally, there was no one in the room.
As usual, I dealt with my work mailbox first, and ironed my clothes for the next day after taking a shower. Just as I lay in bed, my phone vibrated.
It is a colleague who stayed in the same class and worked at the Foreign Language Institute. The other end said: "Brother Ling, borrow your ID number and bank card number, and report the project to the account."
Tao Ling glanced at it and replied, "No loan."
Hastily brushed Weibo, and the circle of friends was drawn from the beginning to the end to ensure that I was still a modern person with information channels. Although many things are not understood.
Then shut down and lie down.
Two hours later, Tao Ling lifted the quilt angrily and sat up abruptly.
So sleepy, so sleepy that the tears when I yawned, but I couldn't sleep.
I thought that going to the cemetery was so tired that I could sleep peacefully, and Bai talked so much to Tao Jun.
"Tao Jun, you can't do it." Tao Ling scolded and turned on the wall lamp, put on his glasses, got out of bed, grabbed two books on the table and retreated to the bed.
He didn't even look at the cover, he just flipped open one of them, and saw a sentence he had sketched before: "It is hard for people to live in the Tao, and it is hard for people not to follow the Tao."
nonsense.
Throwing it away and opening another one, another marked sentence came into view: "Or in the world with loneliness."
Tao Ling held the book for a while, and finally spit out helplessly: "Why do I love drawing lines so much?"
After thinking for a while, he wearily threw the book back on the table, sighed deeply, and pulled his slippers to find sleeping pills.
The next day at work, I was still dealing with the re-examination of the postgraduate study. After I got the sorted results, I had to prepare for public announcement and send an online notification to the students to confirm the admission list and follow-up related matters.
Tao Ling went to the school hospital before going to work in the afternoon. The doctor who was familiar with the neurology department came to work like this once a week. The rest of the time he was in the hospital outside, so he was too lazy to run.
Unexpectedly, the doctor hadn't come when I went, so I had to hang up the other one.
Hearing that he wanted to prescribe sleeping pills, the young doctor waved his hand: "Teacher, the school hospital is so big, I don't dare to prescribe sleeping pills for you, why don't you come back when Dr. Bai goes to work?"
Tao Ling: "I'm going to work soon, and then it's next week. You drive it for me first, and I'll tell her when the time comes."
The doctor thought for a while: "Should I give you some medicine to clear the fire first?"
Tao Ling: "..."
Looking at the other person's inquiring expression, he pushed his glasses helplessly: "Then give me some cold medicine by the way, I have a cold."
Finally, after a day's work, Tao Ling went to the bathroom before leaving work. After coming out, he habitually walked around behind the religious center and looked out from the window at the end of the corridor.
The flower shop on the corner of the road was open. Just as Tao Lingwang was passing by, a sports car stopped in front of the shop. A beautiful girl got out of the car and followed the shop on a slender height.
Tao Ling leaned against the window, turning the ring gently in one hand, while looking at the flower shop leisurely. This place is relatively high, and the line of sight is blocked by the awning cloth on the storefront. Tao Ling can only see the lower/half body of two people.
Wen Qingying might be struggling to help the girl wrap flowers now.
After standing for a while, Tao Ling turned around, so he couldn't see the next scene - the girl went out of the store angrily, knocking over a few pots of small roses at the door as she left.
After packing up, Tao Ling went downstairs with a mess of medicines, and was blocked by a teacher asking questions. It took 20 minutes to leave the school gate.
Crossing the sidewalk on the road, he saw Wen Qingying squatting in front of the flower shop at a glance.
Wen Qingying was holding a small shovel, shoveling a pile of soil into several small flower pots, next to it were Chinese roses with soil on their roots, and a pile of broken ceramic pieces.
"What's wrong?" Tao Ling approached and asked.
Wen Qingying naturally didn't respond, she still turned her back to him, doing things on her own. His legs are so long that his knees stick out when he crouches.
Tao Ling lifted the trousers at his thighs and squatted to the side.
Wen Qingying blinked following the appearance of his figure, looked up and saw that it was him, he paused for two seconds, then suddenly smiled.
