? "But on that very night, the typhoon struck, the rain was torrential, and the whole city was softly trembling."
Re-reading Mr. Yu's Tianyi Pavilion of Wind and Rain, I was surprised to find that the National Day trip to Ningbo with my old friend was exactly "a typhoon came, and the rain was pouring down like a torrential downpour". The city's first ever storm was the first time I've seen a storm in my life, and I've never seen a storm in my life again.
On the contrary, on the way from the high-speed train station to the hotel, I saw men and women like me "bent over" in the wind and rain, and stubbornly trembling pure black, pure blue, dark red plaid white lines, navy plaid black lines, blue and black plaid umbrellas and folding umbrellas, scattered in the vastness of the world. I also have a pure green eight-bone tri-fold umbrella, bought at 7-11, less than two months from the time I bought it to bring it to Ningbo, I call it "small green". I'm not sure if I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, and I'm a good person, and I'm a good person, and I'm a good person, and I'm a good person, and I'm a good person, and I'm a good person, and I'm a good person!
My old friend and I belong to the "Buddhist tourists" who don't make detailed plans except for thinking about the destination, and practicing the concept of "I have not counted the rush in this half of my life, so why not get lost and look at the scenery", and we prefer the unexpected surprises or scares on the way.
A person in Wuxi, a person in Changsha, a year or two can not see each other is the norm. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a conversation, and I thought it would be a good time to meet up with you, and then, in less than an hour, I was able to get all of the accommodations, flights, and tickets. However, the only thing we forgot was to look at the face of God!
The old friend said that she is to blame for the point of the map to choose the place, but obviously we are more than the typhoon first set, but also blame the typhoon, learn us to go to Ningbo, the typhoon a little bit of subjective did not know to follow us. Old friend until received a website flight canceled text message to know the typhoon blew to Ningbo, originally the first day of the National Day at 3:15 pm plane to fly to Ningbo, received a text message when twelve o'clock is not yet, and she has been waiting in the Huanghua International Airport terminal.
"Sorry, there are no flights today."
"What about tomorrow morning at eight?"
"There's none tomorrow either."
Repeated inquiries to no avail, my old friend had to accept the harsh reality of grounded flights, and asked me how long the high-speed train had been running on WeChat as if squeezing toothpaste, implicitly hating for me to send her a small program that could display the speed, location, and itinerary of G7599 in real time.
The accuracy of people's premonitions of bad things is extremely high, and probably expecting something to happen, I found a good angle for the hot beef and rice I'd just gotten in my hand and took a picture to send to her to weigh her down.
"My flight was canceled (covers face)."
"What?"
"It was canceled due to weather."
"It's fine, the worst thing you can do is play with yourself!"
"It's okay."
"Is my tour over?"
Later, the General Assembly division, my old friend told me that after her half-day trip to the airport backpack directly back to the laboratory, the younger brother saw her face incredible: "Sister, you should not have been in Ningbo at this time?" But only she knows, the house leakage is not the same as the rain, not only did not see the plane, he even lost his student ID and campus card.
Outside the window of the large rice paddies quickly flashed, the clouds are a little heavy and gloomy, on the way to a section of the speeding through the whole piece of the whole piece of plastic greenhouses, rows of disorderly trees were thrown behind the windowpane, I tried to capture some of the face of nature, but the picture is always the picture is always a TV outdoor antenna is the same as the wind as the "kinetic fuzzy! "
These are the first time I've tried to capture some of nature's faces.
Three seconds after the worst-case scenario, I rushed to reassure my old friend not to worry, and went back to think about it first. On the other hand, I still find it hard to believe, looking out of the glass window, the face of God, although looking a little gloomy, but also can not see the power to make the flight grounded ah. The rain is scrambling to hit the high-speed windows, a touch immediately transformed into scattered tadpoles, clinging to the glass stretches to swim. The "string of question marks" first saved up, I quickly open the cell phone, "click click click".
In retrospect, I think I was probably in the high-speed train, and the feeling of the world outside the glass window was blunted, and with the hot beef noodles on my hand, this was the first time I used the high-speed train online ordering service, and it took less than ten minutes from the time I placed the order to the time I ate it! Full of pride for the strength of the motherland. I let a glass window block the real outside, and all I saw and felt inside the glass window was "Great My Country". I didn't realize that my destination, Ningbo, had been taken over by Mina, and that in ten minutes I would be pushed out of the glass window to experience the real storm.
Ten minutes later, G7599 arrived at Ningbo station on time.
I walked out of Harmony with a medium-sized school bag and a small camera bag, and immediately a resilient wind hit me, and clutching the strap, I rushed outside with the crowds, vaguely uneasy.
The sky is bright, a little eye, standing in the exit square, I was confused.
Directly in front of a rectangular advertising light box, a corner has been torn open, without the support of the canvas in the wind and rain, the fluttering, like a woman wringing out the clothes to dry before the clothes to unfold, vigorously shaking a few hundred times, this corner of the canvas vibration of the clanging sound. It also shook my head.
Pure black, pure blue, dark red plaid white lines, navy plaid black lines, blue and black plaid umbrellas and folding umbrellas, at this time, are like the examination of the dance level 13, flexibility is good jaw-dropping, watching the dark red plaid a backward tilt went down, blue plaid unwilling to go down, navy plaid went down, the dark red plaid a beautiful turn and up! ...... The backward lean, forward lean, and spin were a sight to behold, and were accompanied by the dull but sturdy clang of a clunk.
Can not bear to look again, I silently looked down and pulled out my cell phone, I want to call. The effort was not enough, almost just placed an order, immediately the screen shows the success of the order, I was surprised at the taxi software efficiency is so high, the master call instantly, the heart is missing a beat.
"Hello, is it you want to go to so-and-so hotel, trouble you cancel the order it, I ordered the wrong, do not send that side."
"Ah, ordered the wrong ah, know."
The efficiency of this master to accept and reject orders is very high! The answer down without taking a breath.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea for me to take the first step in this long journey, so I can't give in. The first step in the long journey is to get to the top of the mountain, and I can't afford to give up on it. According to the navigation, I have to walk 762 meters to the intersection of Yinjiang Road and Sanshi Road to take the 368 road. In front of me, the square in front of Ningbo Station is about two meters above the ground, so I have to go down the long steps in front of me on the left, and then there is a row of small stores across the street, which can be slightly covered by the entrance. After observing the surrounding situation, I unlocked my small green umbrella from my satchel belt and walked into the storm, and at that moment I felt like I was two meters tall, especially tall.
However, the taller but three seconds, a departure from the platform, the body is not controlled, the wind with the rain from the left side of the brain surrounded the front to see so many "leaning forward and back" of the umbrella, I really do not tolerate the small green umbrella flashing waist, and hasten to put the head of the umbrella to the left to meet the wind. This is good, the small green eight bones and eight sides hate to stick together only good, the most outward folding umbrella coyly outward how to stretch not open, as if a trumpet flower closed, I would like to come out of my own more than a six-armed to give this umbrella from the inside top up, with the umbrella long together only good.
The whole step is less than ten meters long, but the impression is that it took a century to walk, and there is only one concrete-colored step in front of me that is enlarged, and there is no end to it. The upper part of my body has been maintained in a "fighting" posture, but the lower part of my body is an old man, extremely incongruous, and even a little funny. I don't know if the gloomy God will be amused by the comical appearance of the beings when he sees this scene.
Finally coming to level ground, I was relieved and hurriedly flashed to the eaves. Green's skeleton seems to have expanded outward a little, a little swollen, and closed up a little stuck. If you turn back time, you will see a person wearing a thin blue pullover sweatshirt half bowed waist stuck in the middle of the steps, both hands holding the front of the umbrella handle, tugging diagonally at a green umbrella, the umbrella has turned over, is the typhoon's frantic trembling, she had to clumsily twist over the whole body, "whoosh" and then let the umbrella turned back!
It's a good thing that I'm here.
I walked quickly along the row of stores, just trying to get to the 368 platform. The small store that also sells rain gear is obviously much more popular, and a cleaning lady catches my attention. She was supposed to be wearing a dark-colored jacket, but because of the storm's wetness, it looked like a heavy soy sauce color. I saw her come out of a store, holding a black broom and a tin dustpan in each hand, and slowly walked into the rain, perhaps because her clothes were not very well-fitting, and she looked a little clumsy. Almost passed her, I stopped, because she in the wind and rain, head down, holding the broom and dustpan, but did not move, as if by who was fixed. The scene seemed to freeze, and after five or six seconds, I saw the broom move in small increments. Great, I was inexplicably relieved.
She just moved and stood still and moved again, mechanically, stiffly, like a machine with a faulty program, cravenly performing its task. "The typhoon is coming and the rain is pouring in", she not only has to make sure she can stand on her feet, but also has to protect her broom and dustpan, which led to the previous scene of "not moving at all".
? She can't stay hidden in the store because she has to earn her living in the storm.
The walk to the platform was not long, but I walked slowly because of the bad weather, and a few scenes along the way struck me.
Walked through the first traffic light, I saw the roadside three umbrellas, a brown about fifteen centimeters wide white side, a large part of the umbrella bone grimace outside, the umbrella surface is also separated from the back of the pendant; a black umbrella, a more complete, visible only one umbrella bone poking in the outside; there is also a showy dark blue umbrella embellished with a pattern of small red and pink flowers, very complete, one side of the downward curved out of a deep arc. A deep arc. In terms of dress and appearance, the one with two umbrellas is the grandfather, leaning forward with his left hand to hold the black umbrella, while his right hand is holding the brown white umbrella behind him. Take the flower umbrella is the grandmother, the showy little flower umbrella raised very low, left hand tugging on a corner of the umbrella deliberately low, look closely, their little grandchildren (daughter) just good to be protected in the arms.
Look down at my clothes and pants, all dripping water, and then look at the small green flash countless times waist. There is no doubt that there was a valiant "defense" of the three umbrellas, and only the little grandson (daughter) escaped.
Under the viaduct, a pair of "backpacker" men and women, each carrying a half a person high backpack, passing by, they are organizing each other to blow oblique transparent raincoat, a look is prepared. I envy them for wearing raincoats, which can even cover their backpacks! And at the moment, although I stubbornly hold up the little green, but in fact, my body has been soaked to the skin, the moment I stopped, freezing and shivering, only thinking of a few less traffic lights, so that I can keep moving forward.
After countless rounds of fracture in the small green, I finally saw the end of the line - Yinjiang Road, Sanshi intersection, the stop sign from the top to the bottom of the number 1 is the 368 road. There is a mother and daughter inside the platform, should have been waiting for a while, the little girl is eating potato chips, has drawn out half. The mother is very young, she put the sauce purple umbrella spread horizontally, the tip of the umbrella to the road, inside the little girl around the little girl, the little girl just up to her waist, a pair of big eyes, the potato chips biting click click click click sound. After conversation, I learned that the little girl is five years old, in time for the National Day they came from Haining to Ningbo to visit relatives. They are much more fortunate than me, just under the Ningbo station to get a cab, but the car did not take long to open the young mother received a phone call from her brother to personally drive to pick up their mother and daughter, in order to live up to the brother's goodwill, they got off the bus again, walked to the nearest platform waiting for family to pick up. Naihe typhoon days can not be underestimated, the woman's brother has been blocked on the road, the phone is also because of no power automatic shutdown, I saw them when they have been waiting for two hours.
I have a coffee-colored wax cloth satchel drink 762 meters away from the rain early also turned soy sauce color, soy sauce kind, not old soy sauce. I pulled the rechargeable battery out of the wet soy sauce bag and handed it to the young mom, and secretly took a picture of the little girl biting the chips.
Don't ask me where the little green umbrella went. The small green has been fractured many times, and its role has changed from "sheltering from the wind and rain" to "barely blocking the wind".
The phone has been on the navigation, the screen is wet, suddenly want to send a friend circle, but the fingerprint unlock has been out of order, turn to press the digital password, each time to fill in the first two black dots, the back of the small black dots magically "de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de" auto-fill. However, all of them were filled in randomly, and I was so angry that I had to press the button again. Even try three or four times, I finally reacted, it is not the face of the head of the rain drops in the screen above, only to appear this "auto-fill" strange things! I'm not sure if it's because I'm not a good user, but I'm sure it's because I'm not a good user!
Later, I backed the mother and daughter successfully sent a circle of friends, and attached a secretly photographed little girl biting potato chips photo: teenagers do not know the taste of sadness, or to eat potato chips happy ah!
The young mother wore a white cardigan without a few dry places, charging to her brother after the peace, or can not help but complain: "How do I get off it? All hit the car. Hey, still in the way of face ah!" The young mother did not take the anger of the brother, did not complain about why the brother to come to pick up their own, do not take the anger of others, this is worth learning.
But who hasn't done things "out of respect"?
"The typhoon hit, the rain was pouring", and then the flights were grounded, the high-speed rail was suspended, the taxi software justifiably went on strike, there was an umbrella but not enough to protect from the wind and rain, and there was a bus stop but couldn't wait for the bus.
"When my brother comes later let him take you to the hotel first!"
"No, I'm waiting for 368."
Perhaps God has seen enough of my funny face along the way, and can't bear to see me "looking through the water" again, two empty cabs in a row passed by the 368 platform. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on a new one, but I'm sure you'll be able to get a good deal on a new one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that!
Booked the room on the fifth floor, looking down, the road is quite wide, but can not see people walking, even cars are very few, so we all know that there is a typhoon ah. The road is very wide, but you can't even see the cars, so everyone knows there's a typhoon. The street trees are being bullied by Mina, and they're sticking to the ground.
It was only about 3:30 when I got out of the shower, and the sky was still cloudy.
Should I stay in the hotel? Order takeout?
But Wanda is only 670 meters away, and the hotel is in a great location.
The tank ducks and dogs do not go?
But the meal is limited today the only possible realization of the activities that do not have to look at the face of God.
Do you know that there is no difference between taking Green out and not taking him?
Yes, it's just that it's easier to hold it in your hand.
Do you know how much of a mess it is in the afternoon?
I know, but I am so miserable, do not eat to want to eat, a little reluctant ah!
? I'm really not happy about it, and I'm a little bit upset that I'm going to fight with the sky, so I'm not going to let me go. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do that," he said. Is this the legendary "gambling"? In any case, I have decided to go all out to blow dry this set of wet clothes as fast as possible today, including sneakers!
After my pants were 70% dry, I moved on to my sneakers, and was delighted that the mesh upper of my lightweight running shoes should be easy to dry. I padded a paper towel in the shoes, the wind to the mouth of the shoes, neither too close nor too far, to ensure that the heat of the hair dryer have been maximized, "anxious and want to eat hot tofu" I know it is impossible to hair dryer does not have "fast drying" function, but still can not help but every five or six seconds to go to the hair dryer, the hair dryer can not be used. I knew it was impossible that the hair dryer didn't have the "quick dry" function, but I couldn't help but touch it every five or six seconds to see if it was dry or not, and nine times out of ten, it was hot and humid. After squatting on my left leg, I squat on my right leg, and I have to do some mental construction for myself. The brain is full of tank duck dog recommended series, cheese dumplings, matcha dumplings, vegetarian roast goose ......
Waiting for the shoes and pants blowing to be able to wear, at least one and a half hours have passed, it is already dark outside. Also, I've found that insoles are the hardest to blow, turn over the most, and dry the slowest.
On the map, the route from the hotel to the west gate of Wanda Plaza is very simple, with a general "L-shape", 690 meters, and it shows that it takes only 9 minutes to walk. I could have!
Locking in the route, I told my friend on WeChat that I was going to help her try the Duck Dog, and then, like a hero, I quickly stepped on the hot mesh running shoes, pulled out the room card, and left the house with a bruised and battered little green. Dry clothes dry shoes really comfortable ah.
But just as the streets were filled with people, it became clear that "Mina" was not going to be the one to do it. "Mina" at night may not be able to distinguish between north and south-east and north-west? Always feel the wind direction randomly, a moment before a moment after, small time thought the wind stopped, small green finally able to hold their heads high, big time big to a blank brain, small green either second into "trumpet flower", or obviously a "folding umbrella" living as a "reverse umbrella". The "reverse umbrella" posture. I counted, at most ten meters, I changed again all wet clothes and wet shoes. If you wear clothes and open the top spray, adjust the maximum amount of water, stand under the rain for thirty seconds and then come out, that state is almost walk ten meters to be poured the effect.
Hey, why didn't I bring a pair of slippers? If I had known this, why would I have spent so long to blow it? The stomach of the beef noodle digested early ......
On second thought, the body is to use, not to serve , come on ah!
No cars, no people, also, how can the local people like me so stupid? Street lights where to go, dark, occasionally neighborhood guard room lighted. Saw at most two cars passing by, car headlights shook to a bit, I feel like I'm not a person, doubly so. I've been walking for what seems like 9 minutes! This is also not traffic jam ah.
The darkness of the night has been magnified, and time has been extended indefinitely. Einstein's theory of relativity is interpreted at this moment. If there is a God's perspective, surely you can see less than 700 meters on the road there is a small green dot in the seemingly purposeful walking "L" route, stop and go, and sometimes backward, but also disappeared for several minutes.
The reason for the stop and go is that it's really hard to walk against the wind. Every time I go backwards, I intentionally use the wind to give the small green to the umbrella bone broken to the direction of the correct back. The disappearance of a few minutes is next to a building with a large recessed entrance and exit, I went in to hide and rest.
The typhoon that hit Ningbo was the biggest wind I have ever experienced. If I hadn't been there, I would never have thought that I would have to try my best to hold an umbrella. Not only do you have to hold one hand in front, but also the other hand 10 centimeters apart and then hold tight, and then the upper half of the body to bow, the arm almost with the umbrella handle together, the whole body's strength to focus on the arm to push forward.
Even to such a soldier to lift the spear posture with the wind and rain struggle!
?
This is the first time I've ever seen the world. I regret, I do not want to fight.
Halfway through, I happened to enter the mouth to rest, my inertia came out, I do not want to be exposed to the wind and rain, I know that the body is very dependent on such a place without wind and rain, but greed and can not give up the previous efforts, coupled with the stomach does not fight and hungry, and turn back to go back to the struggle. I knew I had to get out there. Checked Green with a cell phone flashlight and it was in terrible shape, half the umbrella bones were badly twisted.
? Recharging into the wind and rain again, I was still in the weird position of holding up my lance, but I had lost my fighting mindset. Glasses are full of water, shoes barking, I was forced to fight with the wind and rain, while so regret going out, so regret to fight with the sky, so regret not self-conscience!
? I am not obsessed with the tank of ducks and dogs, just want to go to buy a long-handled umbrella!
According to the navigation, the "L-shaped" turning point to take an underpass, see the half-drowned dumpster, the sparkling water, I this road idiot? The return of the primitive reaction to the return of the ancestors, froze. I was thinking, this navigation wrong right? Luckily the two lads backpacking also walked down, I got the bottom of it, first of all this route is no problem, and then sneak a glance at the two guys, they whispered a couple of words and turned around, indicating that this is really the road, now it's really flooded. Yes, I went halfway down the steps and froze there just to confirm one thing: this channel used to be walkable, and now it's really flooded with sparkling water!
In fact, before I got to the underpass, I could see the bright lights of the Wanda mall in the distance, which was too bright compared to the darkness along the way. But a roadrunner is not afraid to turn off the navigation. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get to the mall or not,......
The last thing I want to do is to get to the plaza on the sidewalk, and then I'm going to have a little fun with it. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to find the best way to get to the mall, but I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get to the mall. This is not, I managed to take advantage of the wind when the small green umbrella up (crooked) want to quickly past, but caught off guard the whole person was blown around two hundred and seventy degrees, but also backed up half a meter to stabilize the center of gravity. The funny thing is that I am still spinning, a flash of thought actually is: I was thin ah, I was "wind" blowing ...... blown away?
Just stood, noticed a dozen meters away from a platform, the platform also stood next to a lot of people, really is to the busy section. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. I couldn't take my umbrella anymore, so I slipped the small green umbrella half-open and hurriedly slipped away. And, it turned out to be much easier without an umbrella!
In the mall at the door of seven, I found that the little green has been destroyed to no umbrella, several stainless steel umbrella bone in the same location folded and folded, I have to use force to press in, just barely enough to tie up with a strap. One side of the collection, one side of my brain popped up in the four words "die a good death". An umbrella really is to do "shelter from the wind and rain" this one thing to the extent that can no longer be used, so that "die well" is something I have never thought of.
I have mixed feelings, put it on the chain of the satchel, and rushed to find a larger umbrella.
As far as I could see, people with long umbrellas were not as bad as those with folding umbrellas.
Then I bought a deep red ten bone long handle umbrella, although it will also be fractured, but if a little faster reaction can be adjusted in time to the angle, the frequency of fracture is low, the most important thing is that it can be a burst of play the role of wind and rain. But it is not as labor-saving as imagined.
stormy, umbrella is about the same as no umbrella, small umbrella has to be protected while traveling, not only can not escape the "soup chicken" of the end, but also seriously affect the speed. I wonder: the umbrella to protect people, or people to protect the umbrella?
The big umbrellas do not need to deliberately protect, but the more solid, the more not deformed, the greater the resistance, the result is still not fast. I'm already a "chicken in the soup", and this ten-bone umbrella now not only can't protect me, but also prevents me from walking.
After a few more pushes from Mina, I decided I didn't want the umbrella.
It took me 30-40 minutes to get there and less than 20 minutes to get back, so I made a good decision.
The first thing to do when you return to your room is to take a shower, wash your hair and blow your clothes and shoes. Within half a day, bathing and washing hair twice, blowing clothes and blowing shoes twice, is also something I never thought of. I shook my head helplessly, thinking about it is really funny, these few hours happened too many "unexpected". The clothes I prepared for the past four days were all made on the premise of sunny weather, tomorrow's forecast is sunny, and then I look at the storm outside, ouch, just, "a clever woman can't cook without rice", and there's a saying that "there are unforeseen winds and clouds". I'd better squat down and blow. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty!
The next day, my friend took six hours of high-speed rail, and finally arrived in Ningbo at 4:00 pm.
? ? "What if there is no train today?"
"If there's no airplane, I'll take the train, if there's no train I'll take the bus, if there's no bus I'll walk, I'll crawl over!"
Old buddy, how is this a bit familiar to you, haha, but I believe you!
From the Ningbo station out of what I saw and heard, to the desire for the mouth and stomach not self-consciously with the wind and rain fight, to the small green umbrella "death is good", to the heart to buy a long umbrella, and then threw away the umbrella, the wind and rain all the way, all the way to the mess, so that I want to understand a lot of things.
The strength of the protection of the disparity is unbearable, late protection is meaningless, but also may become a barrier to progress. Sometimes it is better to throw away the "umbrella" and go light! The most important thing is to have a sense of awe, to fear nature, do not challenge nature.
People can and cannot do. Self-indulgence and heaven can not be fought, the moment to cherish the dear friend is can be.
"Typhoon hit, torrential rain", Mr. Yu Qiuyu the next day barefoot in the water into the Tianyi Pavilion, he wrote, "Perhaps, I today into the Tianyi Pavilion also to be in the auspices of the emperor of the sky to hold a caracal ceremony?" In retrospect, I realized that the first stop on the second day was the Tianyi Pavilion Museum.
Could this violent storm be a caracal ceremony arranged by the heavens to wash away the hostility of all beings?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
