88、请教 常斐然正在 ...
-
常斐然正在收拾羊舍。
现在的羊舍环境大有改善,没有最开始的时候那么骚气熏天了;但是羊的状况和之前倒没有大的变化。基因原因,就是华佗在世也难再妙手回春了。而且,就算回春又有什么意义呢?无论它们身体多么健康、多么强壮,最后都要沦为那人的盘中餐。想起这一点,常斐然就心生一股悲愤——一是为他的羊,二是为他自己,就连他的羊都要被那人吃!
他沉浸在这样的心绪里,没有听到正在迫近的脚步声。一只手搭上了他的肩膀,他回头——是Lieward。
虽然才几天没见,Lieward却瘦了好多:本来就很立体感的脸因为脂肪的流失显现出骷髅的形状,黑眼圈箍着深陷的眼窝,双颊也凹进了口腔。他的眼神有些涣散,甚至看着常斐然的时候都不能很好地聚焦。
常斐然放下手里的活计直起腰。
常斐然:“Hey! What are you doing here?(嘿,你怎么回来这儿?)”
Lieward:“Just... hanging around.(就... 转转。)”
常斐然:“How's it going? The married life?(怎么样,婚后生活?)”
Lieward先是费力地挤出了一堆褶子,褶子中间嵌着一个痛苦的笑容,之后才很勉强地开口。
Lieward:“Great, great man. I'm still learning.(很好,很好,兄弟。我还在学习。)”
气氛有些尴尬。
Lieward:“I know we are not exactly close, but I just wanted to know... even though I feel I shouldn't be doing this... I thought you’d know how Lia is doing. Is she OK? I saw her at... at the wedding, and I feel so bad. How is she doing? Is she here today?(我知道我们没有那么熟悉。我今天来主要是想问... 虽然我觉得我不应该这么做,但是我想你应该知道Lia的状况,她还好吗,我在我... 我婚礼上见到了她,我感到很抱歉。她还好吗?她今天在这儿吗?)”
常斐然:“Uh... she's not today, but don't worry about her. I believe she's happy for you, and she'd want you to be happy, too.(呃,她今天没在,但是别担心。我相信她是为你感到开心的,而且她肯定也会希望你开心。) ”
Lieward渴求的目光先是变得有些暗淡,紧接着又燃起一丝神采。
常斐然:“But are you happy tho?(但是你开心吗?)”
常斐然小心翼翼地问。
Lieward:“I believe that everything beautiful starts with a struggle. I'm still learning about marriage, and deep down in my heart, I know that we are destined for each other because I owe her from a previous life, I know this is just her way of helping me find my redemption.(我想所有的美好一开始都会历经一些艰难,我还在学习怎样处理婚姻,我相信我们会很好的,我们是命中注定要在一起的。我前世有愧于她,这是她帮助我赎罪的方式-)”
常斐然:“Pukia and I dropped by your place yesterday, but you guys weren't home.(昨天我和Pukia去找你们,你们没在家。)”
常斐然打断了他,同样的说辞他听过太多遍,他没有耐心了。
Lieward:“Yeah, you did? I have no idea. Do you... do you know if Lia is still gonna come around often?(是吗,你们去了?我完全不知道。你知道... 你知道Lia还会常来吗?)”
常斐然:“If she's needed here, I guess. She's now the cameraman. What do you do now? Any duties?(她有事情、有活动的时候应该会来。她现在负责摄影。你现在负责什么?还来这里做工吗?)”
Lieward:“I'm now mostly at home. Everything's good.(我现在基本都在家。一切都很好。)”
常斐然:“You know, if there's anything, anything, you can talk to me.(你知道如果你有任何事情、任何事情的话,你可以来找我。)”
Lieward:“Yeah? OK...(是吗,好的...)”
常斐然:“Anything. I'm here all day long.(任何事。我基本上都在这里。)”
Lieward深重地点点头,好像要把这些话刻在心头。
“My heels! They seriously need to fix this. Hasn't he got enough from me?(我的高跟鞋!这个烂地是不是应该修一修?他还没从我这儿拿够?)”
是Sophia。
Lieward仓皇地向常斐然点了点头便回身走去把Sophia迎了过来。
Sophia:“Oh this is your GOOD-LOOKING friend. Nice. I'm Sophia. You should know.(哦,这是你的朋友。大帅哥啊,真不错。我是Sophia,你应该见过)”。
常斐然:“Of course. Chang, uh Feiward.(当然知道。常,呃Feiward。)”
Sophia:“Are you new? Otherwise I would have known you. I can't believe you beat me to it. How come you are always so lucky?What are you guys talking about? He was so itching to meet you.(你是不是新来的?这么帅的人,我都不认识,竟然先叫你认识上了。你怎么总是这么好福气?你们聊什么呢?他这么急不可耐地要见你?)”
常斐然:“He... he wants to pick my brain about marriage, but unfortunately, I'm a stranger to it myself.(他... 他想向我请教夫妻的相处之道,但是不巧,我也不懂。)”
Sophia:“So you are making an effort.(所以你有在好好努力。)”
她转身看向Lieward。
常斐然:“Absolutely.(他非常努力。)”
Sophia:“Good for you.(真不错。)”
她扫了Lieward一眼,有些轻蔑地笑了。
Sophia:“And YOU are single? Pukia would allow that? How ridiculous! Tell her, if she can't hold on tight, you are mine for the taking. Just kidding... but who knows, right? Nobody knows.(然而你是单身?Pukia竟然没有对你下手?可还真是奇怪。告诉她,她要是不抓紧我可就要喽。开玩笑... 但是谁又知道呢,对吗?世事难料。)”
常斐然尴尬地笑了笑。
Sophia:“Are you guys done? I’m done with mine.(我的事办完了,你们谈完了吗?)”
Lieward:“Yeah, yeah, we are done. (谈完了,谈完了。)”
Sophia:“Alright, let's head back, we don't wanna be in your way. Look how neat this place is!(好,那我们就先回去吧,不要耽误了你干活。你看这收拾得多井井有条,多好。)”
她说完冲常斐然笑着挑了挑眉,拽起Lieward的袖子走了。
袖子被撩起,常斐然瞥见了Lieward袖口里的淤青。
