  Find out what time the child his wife, worried, or pay a hundred dollars, dial-up look, read, and the fast asleep
  Komago daughter hold up, was covered in short coats also the Xi wife, and thanks, do not feel each other's cold.
  Child was standing local, wearing only black Chinese Sige padded lining breasted jacket pants, Dwarf pregnant, noodles Taosai, like a hundred

  Mrs. smile, said: "Kids in the outside should cover a small shelter, only woke up to the chilled." And then gave that up bye.
  Massage is now a new dial-in. Mrs Li Xi at the door look at his friends, bored and went back to her seat
  Spaces.
  This dial is a young master look, wear a suede jacket, and Pong Club screening of the field about the Russian war film
  War film: "It's terrifying, seeing a film shells fly over, a soldier back and Yang, face Yizhou, a very painful kind
  Son, grab the handle breasts, really dead. Dead people are really more ah! "
  Persky eyes open, nodded: "cruel really cruel! Fight this thing, I really can kill you in it, like my massage,
  Pain Jiliwala also called the people, my own good to! "He laugh and sigh.
  Young said: "dead people are really more like a mountain heap."
  Persky little sigh of regret: "Originally, compared with theirs, we have here is not about the war! Residual
  Tolerance really cruel. Where you say you see? "
  Young said: "Russian Club."
  Mr. Pang said: "This movie really have to see it? How much money a person?"
  Young said: "Mr Pong you buy a ticket for you to see me go."
  Persky silent, separated for a while, asked: "What time speech? Every day it?"
  Young said: "Eight o'clock, you want to buy a few?"
  Persky and after a while had just laughed and said: "If you want good point."
  Mrs. Pang external interface, said: "To die a little more of it -" hey hey laugh. Mr. Pang is also to accompany her
  Laughed twice.
  Windows of the clinic is closed, and sealed with air defense cross, broken old yellow newspaper articles, tear the rest. Outside,
  Fair and clear a cloudy day, the day the window color is like a layer of cellophane paste.
  Mrs. Pang laughing all the way, came to open the window for no reason outward look, sniff, will throw a used toothpick
  Go. Then the little desk take up half a cup of Cancha mouthwash, spit into the spittoon white Yangci flat black mouth. Xi wife will be in spittoon
  Feet. Xi wife also smiled, but Pang did not see her only when his wife, Pang wife two bright eyes, like people laughing upstairs
  Lights, and pedestrians completely irrelevant. Xi beheld his wife a little feeling to go somewhere else, Phnom Penh, a large mirror on the wall and saw Mrs. Pang
  Rinse mouth, Heishou face, mouth a little too abstract, the mouth of a prayer and worship and worship.
  Xi and his wife quickly glancing out the window, as if being bullied by Side, gently reminded her husband.
  "In the future, as long as he saw ... ... he knew that he was sorry I am, as long as I talk with him ... well ..."
  She consoled her, pick up a newspaper, the pointed beak to peck like a bird, slightly to the side of the crooked, expressed reservations
  Disapproval from the newspaper came to look. One day her husband back. Not too late - too late Oh do not! But do not
  Too early, her hair is not long off it.
  The days of white water, gloomily; foreign Indus palm foliage, yellow Tsui transparent, in the windows. Street, a row of old red
  Church Lane brick house, though it is cloudy, to suffer still suffer squeeze squeeze dry clothes over a balcony. A dark cloud covering the snow cat on the roof
  On the walk, only to see it black on the back, attached tail like a snake, slowly volatile with. Soon, it appears in the balcony
  Face, came slowly along the railings, not left and look, do not turn right and see; it go it slowly passed.
  Life just keep walking past.
