Chapter 50: The Night Is Dark
The moon hangs in the treetops, shining on the quiet campus, and the thick clouds next to it are not passing by, and the soft face is soft; the shadows of the trees in front of the window are hiding in the east, coming and going, like dreams, and blurry; in the weeds under the shade of the trees, the well-known and unknown insects, under the command of the breeze, make annoying noises; the moon turns around, unwilling to look back and admire, hides in the thick clouds, and bows its head solemnly in the night—
"Brother Xian" held the phone, the door was locked and searched quickly in his memory, this familiar voice, timidly into the microphone, asked in a panic: Who are you? The other party sighed "hey-" and replied with some complaints: It's me-Brother Ghost-you heavy and light friend, I'm Xiaojun, it's only been a long time since I have been in touch, and I can't even hear my voice!
"Brother Xian" was a little disappointed and a little happy, and the two expressions appeared on "Brother Xian" at the same time, causing a big bag to wrinkle on his brows, and he sighed and continued to ask: Xiaojun - what is the matter - where are you? Xiaojun smiled "hehehe" and joked: You-guess-guess?
"Brother Xian" sneered twice, and said in a serious and even slightly begging tone: Xiaojun - I'm waiting for a call at home, don't joke! Xiaojun heard it from the words and tone of "Brother Xian", and quickly replied: Okay - Brother Ghost, I thought you were back during the summer vacation - I went to your house to look for you while it was cold, found that the door was locked, and I tried to call your dormitory phone with the public phone of the store, but you really haven't come back!
When "Brother Xian" heard this, he had an idea, and shouted happily: Xiaojun - don't talk about anything else, hurry up and do me a favor - Xiaojun listened to it and said decisively: "Brother Ghost - what do you say, I'll listen to it!" "Brother Xian" excitedly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, said eagerly: Xiaojun, that's the case, I called home for a day today, but no one answered, and no one replied to me, did you just go to make sure that the door of the house was locked?
Xiao Jun thought for a while, paused for a while, and said cleanly, "Um-", and said definitely: That's right-it's locked, and I also looked carefully, on the stone table in the courtyard, it seems that there is still an unfinished meal--Brother Xian" heard this, and was sure that something was in a hurry, and when he heard this, he interrupted the conversation, and said in a low voice, as if talking to himself: Then something must be wrong--Xiaojun, you quickly help ask the neighbor opposite my house, and inquire- Look what's going on, I'll wait for your call and ask clearly-
After listening to this, Xiao Jun realized what "Brother Xian"'s calm and serious tone meant, and quickly said categorically: Okay-Brother Ghost, don't worry, I'll ask, you wait for me- After speaking, Xiaojun's phone hung up, and the long, rapid "beep" sound sounded in the ears of the stunned "Brother Xian", and the roommates also put down their things and waited silently for the phone to ring again.
"Brother Xian" was even more anxious, the sweat on his head, under the illumination of the light, shone brightly in his hair, along the gap in the hair, broke through the blockage and flowed down, slid down his cheeks, hung on his chin, condensed into a big drop, "Goo-knock-" sounded, and slammed heavily on the floor - "Brother Xian" looked solemn, lowered his head, let the sweat flow, and the clothes on his chest and back were obviously wet with sweat.
"Brother Feng" quietly walked over, picked up "Brother Xian"'s towel and handed it to him, "Brother Feng" also handed him the fan in his hand, "Brother Xian" raised his head and squeezed out a slight smile at "Brother Fei" and "Brother Feng". The two also smiled slightly, and they comforted in unison: Brother Xian, think about the good-"Brother Xian" nodded, reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said softly: The main thing is that my aunt is sick-
"Brother Feng" patted "Brother Xian" on the shoulder and comforted: "Brother Xian - it's okay - uncle and aunt, with your protection, Jiren has his own natural appearance, it's okay - rest assured and wait for the call!" "Brother Xian" still smiled slightly, tears flowed with tears, and turned his head to look out the window - all things, of course, excluding human beings, are always getting richer and thicker in the night. In the solemn night, the croaking of frogs looms in the distant fields, the stars on the horizon shine brighter and brighter on the ridges, and the soft night breeze shakes the leaves out of the sound of "zero, zero, zero", waking up the silence of the night—
"Beep-beet-beep-" The phone rang when it finally rang, and "Brother Xian" slowly picked up the receiver, took a long breath, and pretended to be calm and said: Hey, the right person shouted loudly: Brother Xian-Liu Guixian-right, right?"Brother Xian" immediately heard that it was Liu Chunyan's voice, and asked anxiously, eagerly: Sister, what's wrong with you, I called for a day, but no one answered, and no one answered-
Liu Chunyan said: Brother Xian, no--nothing-nothing big, you don't have to worry, we are all together, there is no one at home, and I won't be able to find a phone to give you back for a while--then I settled down and found a phone! "Brother Xian" still heard some "clues" from Liu Chunyan's words, and asked solemnly: Sister, something must have happened at home-Xiaojun went to the house just now-is it the aunt's fault?
Liu Chunyan sighed, smiled embarrassedly, hesitated, and said: Okay-I'll tell my aunt, I definitely can't hide it-"Brother Xian" asked a little angrily: What are you hiding, what's wrong, you hurry up - The roommates also pricked up their ears and waited for the answer to be announced.
Liu Chunyan paused for a while, and said thoughtfully: Brother Xian, let's talk about it first, hide it from you, don't tell you, and don't want you to worry-you don't want to be angry! "Brother Xian" hurriedly said: Don't be angry-you quickly say--sister-
Liu Chunyan took a long breath and said calmly: "Dad has a heat stroke today, and he will be in the hospital, hanging a bottle!" After listening to this, Brother Xian finally let go of his hanging heart, and asked with a crying voice: When is the matter serious? Liu Chunyan said with a smile: In the middle of the afternoon, I ran home in the big sun, and when I was just about to eat, my aunt called me, and your brother-in-law was sent directly to the hospital - it was already fine, and he could have been discharged from the hospital today - it was too late, everyone tossed for most of the day, and they didn't go back!
"Brother Xian" took a long breath and asked in disbelief: "Sister, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Liu Chunyan smiled "hahaha" and said: "I didn't lie to you, really, or you will call home tomorrow afternoon!" "Brother Xian" laughed with confidence, and then he and Liu Chunyan exchanged pleasantries on the phone for a while, and hung up the phone happily. "Brother Xian" sat on the bed, his face was filled with a bright smile, and then he saw that his roommates were still looking at him stupidly, so he quickly stood up, hugged his fists and saluted, and told everyone the real situation.
Only then did everyone relax with "Brother Xian" and shouted unbridledly-"Tut-toot-toot-" The phone rang again-
