Chapter 36: Don't Say You Read
It's been almost a week at my grandfather's house, and I've been on leave for two days at school. The head teacher has already begun to urge. And I haven't gone back yet.,I've been too busy these days.,I haven't played much with my phone.,Ya and I just simply chatted on QQ.。
There is so much to explore in this village that there is no point in going back. I am not nervous about the upcoming college entrance examination, but even more indifferent. Maybe I'm not fit to read.
Xiao Di and Xiao Man from the same village went home on the weekend. Many of the children here are boarders and only come back on weekends. In the countryside, it is necessary to go up to the mountains to pick pigs and vegetables. The so-called one side of the water and soil to nurture one side of the people. In Guizhou, it can be said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water. You can grow your own meat except for meat. When I go to the market, I will buy some meat and go home. Although it is not a paradise, it can also be said to be half a paradise.
It's Saturday, and it's so boring at home that I don't want to go back to school, so I climb to the top of the hill by myself and think about it, just to be alone for a while. It feels like how bleak it is to go back to school, and it's not interesting. In particular, Ya's hot and cold makes it hard for me to accept. Maybe I'm running away from myself, and I'm running away from Yah.
"Xiao Man, the two of us are going to beg for pig food? Okay, you wait for me, I'll wash my hair." "Asking for pig food is a must-do homework for rural children on weekends. Because there is not much food at home, the livestock are fed with wild vegetables from the mountains. Wild vegetables-fed poultry and livestock are indeed tastier than those sold in the market. "Let's go to Shanzitou to ask for it (in the local dialect), there are more of them. "On the top of the mountain, I saw two little girls walking hand in hand towards the other side of the mountain. I didn't pay much attention, but what happened next stunned me.
The topography of the mountain is like this, which is the mountain I mentioned earlier, with a river on one side and a depression on the other. There are a lot of wild vegetables, and many children come there to beg for pig vegetables. I haven't seen anything happen to them on weekdays. I don't know what's wrong, since I came to the village, strange things have happened frequently, is it because my aura is too big?
Xiao Di and Xiao Man begged for a basket of pig vegetables, and just as they were leaving, a plate of snakes suddenly rolled down on the top of the mountain, and they didn't know where they came from. It was definitely from the top of the mountain that reached into the sky, and rolled all the way to Xiao Di and Xiao Man, I kept shouting at the top of the mountain, and they couldn't hear me. It doesn't help that my throat is almost hoarse. Two children are so daring. "Mom, Mom, Xiao Di, look at what this thing is?" I saw two snakes sitting cross-legged, their whole bodies black, and the snake's head kept stretching out to Xiao Man and Xiao Di. The squeaky sound may be a child who grew up in the countryside and has no fear of snakes. The two heads swished straight at Xiao Man and Xiao Di. These two snakes look very strange, and they are the size of a dustpan for corn at home. Two children thought it was fun. Two branches were also found to drive them away, trying to separate them. At first, the two snakes looked at the two children directly. Dead and alive are not separated. Then a large plate flattens the weeds and wild vegetables of the entire depression. Finally, the two men hit the snake with a large stone. The two serpents were divided from the north and the south. The two children were still proud, and said that it would take a look at you to see if you could divide it.
The two replied in unison, "Just now we saw two very big snakes coiled together, and we couldn't get rid of them with branches." Later, they were driven away with big stones, Auntie? Do you know what they are doing?" At this time, the third aunt panicked, and hurriedly shouted loudly to the mountain, the sky can see, the earth can see, and the big stone mountain opposite can see it. My Xiaoman and Xiaodi can't see it. "What did you say, auntie? Shut up, what do children know. Let's go home quickly" On the top of the mountain, I saw them hurrying home, and I thought something had happened to them.
When I got home, I found out what was going on, and I said that I had torn my throat at the top of the mountain, and they just couldn't hear it. The third aunt scolded, "The dead girl doesn't understand anything, and she beats with stones, how can you afford to provoke that thing." The mouth kept chanting: "Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless, the child is still young, and he doesn't understand anything." ”
Xiao Man and Xiao Di also said that there was something, and we were not bitten. And no injuries.
Something happened the next morning, Xiao Man and Xiao Di were covered with pus all over their bodies and remained unconscious. Xiaodi's mother kept crying, and said, "Yesterday was fine, what's wrong today." On the contrary, "Xiaoman's mother is more calm". I went in and looked at it, and at first I thought it was a "thought". Apparently not, I really can't explain this phenomenon. I don't know why good people are like this overnight. The pustule is very large, and it looks like it is about to burst out, which is very scary. The faces of both children could not be seen clearly. When the third aunt saw this, she muttered, "I tell you not to provoke disbelief, the Bodhisattva forgive the children! Hurriedly called the soil doctor in the village, and the doctor was helpless when he saw this, and there would be a soil doctor in the village, which is often called "Miao doctor", and he was good at using medicine. Generally, you don't need to go to the hospital for minor illnesses, and if you don't even have a doctor in the village, it means that the situation is serious. Gotta get to town.
The doctor recommended that he be sent back to the next clinic. There is an old doctor in the clinic who is very skilled, and he may have a solution. Without saying a word, I got in the car and was sent to the next clinic.
The old doctor knew what was going on at a glance, and said that he would use a pound and a half of a boy chicken, without plucking the feathers or killing, and directly disemboweling the chicken with the beating of the chicken's heart and spreading it on the child's chest. It must be a live chicken. And it's a chicken, this is the first time I've seen this kind of therapy. I saw that the chicken was spread in half on its chest. The heart was beating non-stop, almost in sync with the human heartbeat, and it looked very bloody. The chickens can't die for a while. Babbling and screaming until the blood drained and died. It's bloody and terrifying. This is called chicken breast treatment.
On the morning of the third day, it worked, and the miraculous pustules subsided. Gradually, I saw the child's face. Parents breathed a sigh of relief. The old doctor was very secretive, and he didn't say a word in his mouth. I just said that don't provoke that kind of situation in the future, fortunately, it was sent early, otherwise these two children would be gone. I really wondered, no matter how much I asked him, he shook his head and didn't say anything, just gave me a word that I shouldn't know.
Seeing his resolute attitude, I didn't ask any further. This became a mystery in my mind.
I've been here for more than a week, and it's really time to go back, I told my grandfather that I was going back to class, and my grandfather told me to hurry back and don't miss the class, saying that my grandmother is okay at present. Before leaving, he insisted on stuffing money for me to pay for the journey. I had no choice but to take it, otherwise I would curse again. After saying goodbye to my grandparents, I came back in the shuttle bus. It's not a good feeling in the car. He is not the one who brings the gospel, but the one who brings disaster.
It was 17 o'clock in the afternoon when I came home, and my brother was at school, and he could only live in the school when he moved to the new campus. My brother went to work, put his things at home and prepared to go back to school.
Walking alone on the way back to school with my schoolbag on my back, a breeze blew on my face, and somehow I felt more lonely. Maybe I'm destined to be alone. I began to doubt the future, and at this point my heart was more fearful. I kept asking myself what kind of person I am, what am I going to do in the future, where am I going, and I feel like a rootless grass fluttering in the wind. There is no direction and no sense of security.
I felt like I could do everything, but I couldn't do anything, I was scared, I started to worry, and I couldn't say what I was worried about. I just don't let loneliness, fear, and the unknown swallow up the little faith I have in my heart.
Looking at my phone, it's almost 17:30, they should be out of class, I want to call her, but I don't know what to say when I pick up the phone? A year ago I had everything, a girlfriend who loved me, a mother who loved me, and a brother who understood me. There is also a brother who shields me from the wind and rain. However, at this point I felt like I had nothing, and my heart was empty like never before. There is not even a little bit of soul sustenance and yearning for a better life.
I'm confused, what should I do in the future? Maybe it's because Ya has changed, maybe it's because my grandmother is sick, and seeing all kinds of life is just a dream.
I don't know how long it took, when I walked to school, I didn't call Ya, I put my schoolbag on the bed, I fell asleep with the quilt on, and I woke up at three o'clock in the morning. I'm so hungry! Open the public cabinet and see who has put food in it. There was nothing but the cigarette of the mouth hall and the blind man. No matter what, it's a little bit to be able to eat. Took cigarettes and chewing gum to the balcony. Eat gum while smoking a cigarette and enjoy the stinging sensation of the cold wind.
Looking at the neon flashes outside the school, a burst of loneliness hit me inexorably. Am I wrong? What am I doing wrong? Why does loneliness never let me go. Have I begun to learn to foresee the future? But I haven't even read a book from heaven! Maybe the book is not for reading, but for writing. Writing your own story is already a book in heaven.
Cigarettes filled the dormitory, and the blind man smelled the smoke and whispered, "Zhang Jian, you remember to help me hide the cigarettes, if I am caught by the school, I will die." I won't let you get caught, don't worry! Go to bed! I'm going to read early tomorrow. Uh-huh, you go to bed early, too. "I didn't hold it, who knows when I finished smoking the blind man's cigarette, forgot to leave it for him, and didn't care about it so much, so I thought about smoking in large gulps, so that the cigarette filled the emptiness and loneliness in my heart. Then spit it out and disappear into this unforgiving world. It is also believed that this smoke can fill the stomach. After the last cigarette, I went to bed.
When I got up in the morning, the blind man went to ask for a cigarette and muttered non-stop, and he didn't know how to leave me a root. "Blind don't talk about it, I'll buy you a bag at noon, really? If you don't buy it, you can try it! I said buy it, rest assured, okay!"
Carrying a schoolbag and walking into the classroom from the new, he was called to the office by the head teacher to talk about it in a mess, and it may be difficult to ask him for leave in the future. It seems that I will have to go to class honestly in the future.
Xiaocan said that my girlfriend and my buddy are together. Said to see them walking together at the old farmer's market. I almost got into a with him. Tell him not to talk nonsense. Xiao Chan doesn't look like a joke. Xiao Can said: "If you don't believe it, go and ask the blind man, the two of us saw it together that day." "I was a little skeptical. "Who is that grandson, hello buddy Xiao Gou, Ban Xiao Gou?" just as I was asking again, the class bell rang. I didn't ask much.
I didn't have much thought in class. I always think about the mess, I wonder if she will do anything out of the ordinary, and I think about her attitude towards me. Will you do something sorry for me, the brainstorming begins again. I was called by my math teacher several times one morning. I sent a few messages to Ya on my mobile phone, asking her to eat at noon, and I want to ask for clarification.
This kind of thing happened a few days after leaving school, and the family was unfortunate, and I didn't believe what Xiaocan said at all. But I just can't get through my own brainstorming. As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, and there is a reason.
