Chapter 17: The Deadly Swing
Da Hei's accidental death hit me hard, and Da Hei used to run to me from afar after school wagging his tail to welcome me home. Now when I go home, I subconsciously see if Da Hei is in the nest, and I will shout twice Da Hei! Da Hei! But there is no response. I suddenly remembered that Da Hei had been gone for a month, and Da Hei was no longer there! I had not yet come out of the sadness of losing Da Hei! I was still in deep self-blame, and I became silent during that time! I was often alone in a daze!
Zhang Mengxin looked at me getting more and more haggard, and asked me many times what happened, I didn't want to infect her with my sadness! I smiled and told her that it was okay! She took the initiative to chat with me many times, and it could be seen that she had been comforting me! It is estimated that Zhang Mengxin knew why I was sad, and Datouze's mouth had already betrayed me!
"Koonweihe, what's going on lately? Tell me if you're unhappy! We're best friends!"
"Don't think about it, I'm fine! Last time you told your sister to write a letter to you, how is it, did you receive it?"
"Uh-huh, I got it, my sister is very hot over there in Guangdong, and she said that it's good over there, but there are a lot of mosquitoes!"
"Well, that's okay, tonight our village chief's nephew's house has a new computer room, and there is a lion dance performance, why don't we go and play together at night?"
"Really?"
"Of course, I'll go to your house with the big head and a few of them to look for you in the evening!" "Well, okay! I'll call Pingping and a few of them to wait for you. ”
"It's an appointment, see you in the evening!"
"Uh-huh, see you in the evening!"
Zhang Mengxin and I were the last to walk out of the classroom, during the day, Datou Ze called me to watch the lion dance at night, I wanted to refuse, but I thought that I hadn't asked Zhang Mengxin to come to our hole, and there was a lion dance on the flower drum lantern tonight, so I just asked her to go with me. Datouze, Datoushi, and the three of us came to Zhang Mengxin's house in the evening, and classmates Kong Ping and Kong Hui had been waiting for us for a long time.
"You can do it, only now!"
"Isn't it right now!"
The two bars are big and Kong Hui are up again, and he is uncomfortable if he doesn't bar for two days!
"Okay, everyone, let's go!
Big-Headed said. A few of us went to class from the back of the hole in front of the west canal, and then walked to the empty field on the side of our sixth team, there were already many people gathered on the field, they gathered in a big circle, Zhang Mengxin and I walked together, she consciously and gently tugged at the corner of my clothes! We squeezed inside, good guys! It was all a stunt! What was rotated with the top of the big table, the rotating handkerchief also flew up to pick it up, and there was a team of lions dancing happily next to it! From time to time, there were bursts of cheers! I saw that Zhang Mengxin was also shouting excitedly, clapping happily, and the sorrow in my heart was slowly melted away
Fei Fei sent me a letter a week after she left, and it was all sent to the village at that time, and it would not reach me until a long time! I guess the little girl wrote it to me when she got back, and it was estimated that no one would take me into the village after sending it! The letter asked me how I was doing lately, saying that she missed my time at home very much, and wanted to come to me and so on! I didn't want her to come again, and I didn't know how to deal with my relationship with her!
Then the wheat harvest season began, and we took a farm vacation, and after my mother and I finished harvesting the grain in the field, a large area of wheat stalks was burned. Every year, at this time, the whole sky is gray, and the sky is filled with a pungent haze!
At this time, everyone is solemn, the force of nature has made us pay a terrible price for doing whatever we want, and many people have suffered from respiratory diseases!
Our blue sky has not appeared again in the past two years, only the haze weather has appeared again and again, the birds in the sky are crying, and the small animals in the fields are crying! All the animals and creatures have been punished by nature together for the fault of our human beings!
We human beings are very selfish! Blind selfishness and greed have caused nature to cry, black rain has fallen in the haze, and the pungent smell has washed over people's hearts! We do not care for nature's gifts, and we will cease to exist!
In the haze, I lay on the bed in the small room. I've been on leave for a week, and I don't have any signs of doing well! It's already June, and I'm covered with a thick two-layer quilt. The teeth trembled wildly, the body was like lying in the ice and snow at this time, the cold air was frantically pouring into every pore of the body, and the blood was as cold as if it had been coagulated! There was no trace of warmth! After two or three hours, the body became hot again, and there was a fire in the stomach, and the blood in the body seemed to be burning at this time! I couldn't stand the heat anymore, so I picked up the water on the table and drank it in a big gulp, and then I lay on the bed and vomited endlessly!
At this time, my face was sallow, I couldn't eat anything for a week, I vomited whatever I ate, and I was groggy all day long! I have been taking leave at home since I was busy on vacation, and I have been doing this every day for two weeks. I have already taken medicine in the clinic, but I have not been well, and I went to the city people's hospital for a laboratory test, which is Plasmodium falciparum infection, cerebral malaria!
"Swinging" is a visual description of the onset of malaria in southern China. It is a contaminated disease transmitted by the bite of Plasmodium mosquitoes. Periodic episodes of chills, high fever, sweating and fever, anemia and splenomegaly are characterized, so people commonly call malaria "pendulum".
Cerebral malaria was the worst, and every day I had a high fever (42°C), severe headache, vomiting, convulsions, and a coma! I suddenly lost my sight during the whole afternoon!
At this time, I was lying in bed and I didn't know if it was day or night outside, and I didn't know how long I had been lying in bed!
When my father drove me back on a tractor, I was blind, groggy and carried to the hut, lying on the bed!
At first, my family thought it was just an ordinary pendulum disease, and didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it would be fine if I took some medicine, until I lay down for two weeks and was tested in a big hospital.
After two days in the hospital, the doctor prescribed medicine and came back to recuperate, after a month of tossing, my whole person has been thin skin and bones!
During those days when I was blind and sleepy, I often had hallucinations. With my eyes closed, I could see several 5 or 6-year-old children playing around in my house! I couldn't see their faces clearly, and they ran to my beams to look down at me, and the hair on my whole body was cold! When I really woke up, these were all dreams, hallucinations! Sometimes I couldn't tell what was a dream and what was reality!
I miss my time at school very much, and I miss Zhang Mengxin very much! When I first played at school, I was still at school, and I didn't tell her that I was sick, but I just told her that I was busy at home and needed to take two days off! I didn't let them write back to Fei Fei! I was afraid that they would find out and be worried! The middle teacher came to my house once, because I hadn't gone to school for two weeks, and he thought I was going to drop out of school, but when he saw that I was sick, he begged not to tell my classmates!
I can't pull down too many classes when I'm still sick, I have only a month to take the exam, I have to go back to school, if I want to be admitted to the key class of middle school, I can't put down my studies at this time! When I was a little better, I went back to school, and I saw Zhang Mengxin again!
Zhang Mengxin saw that I was very thin and very worried, and asked me what was wrong, so I told her truthfully that she had a pendulum disease, and she would be fine in two days!
I was groggy all day, Zhang Mengxin tutored me by my side until late, and we were separated when it was almost dark!
When I got home, I remembered that I hadn't replied to Fei Fei, I had already received three letters, and once I called the phone next door to ask me why I didn't reply! I asked my mother to answer the phone! There were few families that had a telephone, only I had one at home, and her phone had even become a public phone for our nearby families! The people who came to their family were very nice! That person was very simple!
Graduation season is coming soon!
