It's noon, outside the shade, on the park road, there are fewer pedestrians,

Taking advantage of this gap, the stall owners on the side of the road are either sitting on a stool, or squatting beside the stalls, on the side of the road, eating their own meals, and from time to time talking to the stall owners next to them.

“...... Lao Ding, how is business today?"

"It's still done, it's still done...... Lao Chen, when you want to close the stall in a while, fry me your potatoes too. The girl in the family is thinking about the fried potatoes, and I will bring her a copy back......"

"Becoming ......"

Outside the shade of the trees, the voices of words were mixed, faintly resounding in the shade of the trees through the dense branches and leaves.

Under the shade of the trees, the old man sat on a bench, looking in front of him, his eyes were in a trance, and he was a little silent.

“...... The man is ambitious to return to Shenzhou, and he is a strong soldier and a strong horse to Yan You......"

By the bench, the radio was ringing, and the sound of opera came out, intersecting with the sound of words outside the shade.

On the side, Lian Ge listened to the sound of the opera mixed with words, and he didn't make a sound, just looked out of the shade with the old man.

......

“...... After returning to China, he first spent several years in the ravines and ravines of Sichuan and Shu Province, and then spent some time on the Gobi Desert. ”

The old man slowly turned his head, fiddled with the radio again, was silent, and continued,

“...... At that time, I was not the only one in that place, and some seniors who returned to China first were also in that place. The conditions are a little worse, but they are much more comfortable than abroad. ”

As he spoke, the old man raised his head with a smile on his face,

Through the sunlight of the dense leaves, mottled on the old man's somewhat loose skin,

“...... The living conditions and research equipment are inferior to others, but there, everyone is working hard for one thing. Just so that we don't suffer from that nest of gas, everyone is holding their breath...... You said that this breath is angry, what can't you do? ”

The old man slowly lowered his head, with a smile on his face,

“...... In the end, we did. ”

“...... There is no need to be convicted, and you have to endure being bullied. ”

"That's right......"

As the old man spoke, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he looked out of the shade of the trees, his eyes were in a trance, and he paused.

“...... There are so many people who can't see ......."

After saying that, the old man fell silent again, just looking out at the shade of the trees, and his somewhat cloudy eyes were in a trance.

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge turned his gaze back,

Gu Xiaoying looked at the old man, a little silent, turned his head and looked at Lian Ge,

Lian Ge looked at Gu Xiaoying, touched Gu Xiaoying's hair, and didn't say anything.

......

“...... Old man, I was dead, but I came back to life...... Many people fell at that time...... A lot of personal ......."

Outside the trees, along the road, some vendors wiped the sweat from their faces, or still eating, or got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and greeted customers who stopped again.

The old man looked out of the shade, and was silent again, his eyes were in a trance, and then he continued,

“...... And at that time, there was a man who went with me to the ravine, who had also gone to study in that country, who was older than me, and who went out with his wife, and who had a child in that country, but he came back...... He told me that this is home because this is the ......."

After a pause, the old man continued,

“...... He arranged for his wife and children to be in Rongcheng, and followed us into the ravine...... When I first went there, his belly was round, and I laughed with him, saying "Brother, you look rich." He also smiled with me and said that when I was abroad, I ate too much oil and salt, and now I came here to lose weight......

As he spoke, the old man paused again before continuing,

“...... When we arrived, because we had both studied in that country, the arranger thought that we would be better talkative, so they arranged for us to be in the same room...... I just looked at him, and his stomach went down little by little, and the flesh on his face became less and less...... He also smiled and asked me if he was more handsome than me when he lost weight...... I said yes, yes......"

“...... For a while, there was no food in the ravine, and a person could get a few steamed buns a day. He took the steamed bun, and gave it to me, and told me that I was younger and had a bigger appetite, and said to me with a smile, saying that he, there is still fat on his stomach, and if he eats less, there is nothing to do......"

“...... At that time, in the ravine, as soon as the winter passed, in the spring, mosquitoes began to appear, and in the summer, it was even more as if he could be slapped to death with a slap, and smoked some mosquito repellent things in the house, hanging a mosquito net, and it seemed useless, I don't know when, he got in again...... On your legs, a bite on your hands, it's a bag......

At night, cover the quilt so hot that you can't sleep, lift the quilt, the mosquito will bite you for a while, buzz in your ear twice and can't sleep, until the night when you are sleepy and unbearable, the mosquito bite can't take care of it, you can fall asleep......

At that time, some of us simply didn't sleep, just stayed in that room, closed doors, and continued to discuss those issues...... It was only when the sky was white outside, and there were fewer mosquitoes, so they each lay down on the bed and fell asleep......"

The old man spoke, silent, looking out of the shade, his eyes in a trance,

“...... That day, at night...... The mosquito was buzzing in my ears all the time, and I couldn't sleep, so I got up and thought about discussing the problem of the day with some other people...... I called out to him, but he didn't answer...... At first, I wondered if he was asleep...... When I walked in, I saw him lying flat, covered in the quilt, and his head was exposed to the quilt, and on his face, there were a few mosquitoes lying on his stomach, biting him...... I saw that something was wrong, so I pushed him again and called him a few times...... He still didn't react...... I don't know when, he fainted......"

“...... When he was taken to the infirmary, as soon as the doctor lifted his trouser leg, he saw that his feet were swollen and shiny. When I lifted his clothes, I saw his belly...... Lost too fast, and the belly on that belly didn't get back yet, it fell there, falling ......"

The old man spoke, silent again,

“...... In the end, he didn't survive and collapsed in the ravine...... Not only him, but also many people......"

“...... After that, I was on the Gobi Desert...... When we got to the Gobi Desert, more people fell......"

“...... In that place, sometimes the food could not be delivered...... When the food shortage was at its worst, I couldn't wait to pick up the last leaves on the Gobi Desert and eat them......"

The old man looked out of the shade in front of him, his cloudy eyes were in a trance, and he said,

Lian Ge looked into the distance and listened quietly,

The breeze swayed the foliage, swaying through the shade of the trees and the dappled sunlight on the benches.

“...... Some people just sip a leaf and do research at the same time...... And he fell on the Gobi Desert......"

"There are also people who are tired and fall asleep, but they can't get up again...... There are people who have been exposed to radiation, and just like that, they have cancer, and they are gone......"

As the old man spoke, his voice gradually subsided, and then he fell silent again, looking out at the street beyond the trees.

Under the shade of the trees, it seems quieter and quieter,

Only the sound of the opera on the radio, the sound of words outside the shade, intertwined, mixed and sounded.
