Noi finally returned to the cellar of her grandmother's house and took out the kaleidoscope. The slideshow inside was a tropical white beach with many coconut trees, and the blue water rose and fell in a low voice.
In the icy world of Iceland, noi always wears a light gray jacket. It reminds me of the skinny man I met last winter, with a similar off-white jacket, also worn with the zipper on top.
A little later than dinner, I was sitting at the window seat on the second floor of Burger King eating a large set meal, and the man in his thirties sat across from me, holding a pen and a loose-leaf book, and asked if I could draw something for him . This man looks a lot like Matthew McConaughey in True Detective, but he looks untidy, and his slow, muffled English speech makes me wary. Although in the heart of Copenhagen, the night falls early on a Nordic working day, leaving foreigners feeling insecure. I glanced at the other diners on the second floor and wondered if I would be able to escape without a hitch if there was an accident, and then pretended to calmly agree to it.
He put away the pen and paper and went back to the side table to get a black backpack and a disposable paper cup with red wine in it. Wired, creep, is my first impression of this man who doesn't look neat, I'm worried that he will have that kind of sharp dagger, facing his deep-set eye sockets, I express that my brain is blank and I can't think of anything to draw, I'm not good at drawing either.
He denied being Danish and asked me if I liked it here. I quickly said that I absolutely hate this country, this cold place that claims to be the happiest country. He said he hated everything and didn't care about anything. I try to establish effective and friendly communication, ask him if he is influenced by anyone or work, if he has a favorite movie, music and book, I have Meursault ready. He just didn't say anything and then spoke to a writer, probably a European, I don't remember.
I sketched a back view in jersey number 7 and said that the person who celebrated with his hands raised is my favorite player from the Czech Republic. Do you like football, or do you like any sport? No, I am not interested in sports. where do you come from. So he picked up the pen and started drawing, let me guess. The rather meandering curve is like a contour line in a middle school geography question, I thought it was the red dragon on the national flag, so I said Wales, but it turned out not to be, he slightly modified the contour-like curve and said, yes Iceland.
Ah, Iceland, of course, Iceland, I said. I happened to have been to Iceland before winter, and the raincoat I bought temporarily had a contour map of Iceland on the back. At that time, I thought the dense white lines on the back of the black raincoat were very unsightly.
During the conversation, he would sometimes get gloomy and excited, and my insecurities never disappeared. During the conversation, I don't know who knocked down the soft paper cup and spilled the unkempt red wine.
He said no one cared about him and he didn't care about anyone, he asked why I asked this, do you care about me.
I said the same with me, everyone here doesn't care about each other, but now we're talking, we're in a relationship, and I care about you right now.
I can only think of harmless dialogue when I think about it, but I still remember that I finally escaped nervously, riding my bike to my house half an hour away.
When noi skipped school, he would go to the convenience store at the gas station, steal money from slot machines with tricks, and buy a beer on the spot. When iris, the new clerk girl, asked him if he wanted to drink here, he was stunned.
"You want me to drink here?"
"No, not necessarily"
"Then why do you ask"
"Because there are two ways: either you drink here and give me the bottle back; or you pay for the extra bottle Pay for it and take it away."
"That's why?"
"You're slow? Or something?"
"No, just kidding."
The previous auntie clerk never asked about this. In fact, the tall noi was not even allowed to buy alcohol. There was a scene where he was thrown out of the bar. It was a cold place. There is also a cold common sense. It is said that Icelanders also love to play and drink on weekends, but the price of wine is too expensive. They always drink some drunk at home before going out.
I haven't been to Iceland in winter, Reykjavik's colorful streetscape, the laundromat cafe where I write postcards, the strangely-shaped church, the half-hour church parked in the wind and rain (the broken glass is gorgeous, There is also a super large Christ statue that feels like a tile mural), a waterfall during the day and a Chinese who mistook me for his friend talking to me, a waterfall at night (blue light in the front and a passable space in the back), Geysers, glaciers and very low clouds on the opposite mountain, mineral running water, North Atlantic coast and ports, black rock beaches, fluttering aurora on the way back, vast meadows and little sheep, hot springs. . . I really like this place, whether it’s this movie or this place, I don’t even bother to write about it anymore. For example, the scene of Noi sitting and watching TV before answering the phone is very similar to a famous oil painting. The painter's mother is sitting on the right side of the painting, but "Story of Art" is not around, so I can't really remember it.
Finally thought of that frustrating French class. The French teacher said to teach everyone to make real mayonnaise
, "Don't change hands, don't change other ways, don't stop." Then the principal knocked on the door and came in and called Noi away. The teacher who continued to demonstrate said don't stop, but then slowed down in frustration. Slowly stop stirring, "Oh, no, halfway through."
