Previous|Next:A pill, a choice...

Yesterday, Wang Wei and Li Zi took a train from Hangzhou to Shanghai and came to the hospital to see me with flowers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When they came, it was already afternoon. In the evening, we went out to eat from the hospital, walked to the door of the hospital, and looked at the noisy neon on the street outside, Wang only said that this is a bit like the scene in the previous college, and I saw that it was a bit like this, when we were in college, we also went out to eat at such a time, and then went to the Zhongyi Internet café across the road to surf the Internet, and many years have passed in a flash.

We found a random place to eat, found a hotel to rest, and then decided to go to the movies. But the movie didn't work, Transformers 4 couldn't book a place, and I wanted to go to the old movie theater to see a nostalgic film, but I didn't open the door. We discussed it and finally took a taxi to the Bund.

The Bund is always bustling with people, surrounded by countless passers-by, from all over the world, and all kinds of languages ringing in your ears. Outside the railing is the Huangpu River, opposite Shanghai's iconic Lujiazui, the Oriental Pearl and a group of skyscrapers stand on the opposite bank, almost all of the Shanghai image photos are this picture. When I was very young, when I watched this place on TV, I always thought it was very tall, but now it looks like that's exactly what it is. When I was a child, I thought it was a far away place, and I might never have come here in my life, but before I knew it, I had lived in Shanghai for more than three years, and I don't know how many times I had been to the Bund.

They took pictures with great interest, and I was sick, and I always felt so tired, like an old man in the twilight, just watching quietly. We walked along the river, I walked very slowly, and it would be more tiring to walk in a sea of people. They took a lot of pictures, the flash was bright, and I was stubbled and haggard, and I think I'd probably regret taking it decades from now.

The air was terrible, heavily polluted, the sky was gray, and the night sky was grayish and white with too much dust, like the worst pixels. Countless strangers passed by us, like the Huangpu River next to us, endlessly. We found a place to sit and quietly looked at the tall buildings on the other side.

Wang only said that it was actually good to sit like this, and it would be more perfect if there was a beer supper, but I was sick and had to avoid it, and I couldn't eat either beer or supper.

The river breeze blew gently, and with the heavily polluted air, I felt a touch of coolness in my suffocation. I suddenly remembered that when I graduated from college, the last time we got together was in the dilapidated house that Zhimin rented. That day, Zhimin was still selling mobile phones at the counter, and the people in our dormitory were playing cards in his rented house, and there was a miasma. After he got off work and dragged his tired body back, we went out together in a large group, had a final supper, and then went to an Internet café to surf the Internet. We walked along the Xiangjiang River, smoking and playing, the sound of youth came into the deepest part of the night sky, floating in the vast Xiangjiang River in Changsha, looking up, the river is vast, just like the future that we are about to embark on tomorrow, I don't know what it looks like.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, Shanghai is still so prosperous, so prosperous that it is a little empty, those ancient buildings on the Bund are lit up with golden landscape lights, and inside is the world of drunken gold fans, so far away from us. We decided to go to the pedestrian street, but we were so tired and tired from walking, we took a taxi back halfway, they went back to the hotel, and I went back to the hospital.

It's Saturday, there is no one in the hospital, the hallways are quiet, and many patients and nurses have gone home. There were only two people in our hospital room, and they were all asleep, just like they had in their dorm room in high school many years ago. Tired, I climbed into bed and lay down.

My body was already very tired, but I couldn't sleep in my head, and those past events fermented in my mind. In the past, I was always busy writing novels and thinking about the plot, and I didn't have time to think carefully about the past, and even if I did, I only stayed on the surface. During the period of hospitalization, I didn't write novels again, and my heart suddenly relaxed, and those past events of this night came back to my mind unexpectedly.

Actually, there is nothing special, but I don't know why I always think of the past, thinking back to those long and distant times. Especially on such a Saturday, such a dorm-like ward. It would be nice if Yun'er was by my side at the moment, I liked her so much when I was in high school, she is now a nurse in Chenzhou, if I am in Chenzhou, I can go to her hospital and let her take care of me. She would touch my hand with her soft little hand and say, "I'm going to give you an injection!"

I lay in my hospital bed, looking out the window at the sky, and I could vaguely see a few stars there. But I knew that all I could see was the light of those stars that had been emitted for tens of thousands of years, and perhaps they were no longer there at this moment. Time will leave traces on us, maybe in a far enough place in the universe, there are countless rays of light to form a picture, that is many years ago, when I was in high school, I stepped on the street lamp alone, and returned to the dormitory, maybe there were only two people in the dormitory. If I had gone a little further, I might have seen the first time I met her.

Slowly, I finally fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already a new second day.

Today, my mother also came to see me and brought something to eat, but I didn't have much appetite, so I ate a little watermelon. After the injection, Wang Wei and Li Zi came again, we finished eating and went to Xingmei Cinema City to watch "Sleeping Curse", the picture is very beautiful, but the plot is not very good, I want to sleep a little bit, maybe it's because I'm sick and sleepy.

After watching the movie, the weather is a little hot, and another summer is coming, and many high school graduates may be struggling with the matter of filling in the volunteer at the moment.

We all feel so tired, and it's understandable that I'm tired. But Wang only said that he was also tired, and he wanted to go for a physical examination to see if it was an advanced liver cancer. I turned my head to look at him and shook my head, he had terminal uterine cancer at best.

We took another taxi and I sat in the back, drowsy, half-open watching the world recede outside the window. It was a cloudy day, the sun was shining through the thick sky, and taxis drove us through the city's roads, with tall buildings in the distance. Looking at this scene, I remembered the first time I went to Chenzhou more than ten years ago, when my father took me to Chenzhou to get glasses and treat his eyes by the way. It was my first time in the city and it felt like everything was so new. Sitting in the car and looking out the window is like sitting in a taxi and looking out the window at the moment, almost the same weather, the same going to the hospital, the same high-rise buildings, the same tiredness.

At that time, my father took me by the hand and went to the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou, there was a flower shop next to the hospital, and someone came out with a bouquet of flowers in it, and I didn't understand the relationship between the hospital and flowers when I was young. At that time, I thought that the hospital was so big, much bigger than the village health center, but there was always a cold feeling, the nurses walked in a hurry, and the ground was bright marble, reflecting the cold light. I was a little scared and followed my dad stiffly.

Thinking about it, the taxi took us back to the hospital, and we got out of the car tired and went up to the hospital room on the third floor. Wang Wei and Li Zi left with their luggage, their train tickets at half past five in the afternoon, to return to Hangzhou, and they have to go to work tomorrow. The ward will be deserted all of a sudden, and tomorrow there will be 3 patients in the same ward who will be discharged, and I am afraid that it will be even more deserted at that time.

I climbed into bed and decided to rest for a while, I seemed to be tired all the time. The curtains were closed to block the light from the window, and the room was quiet.

I gradually fell asleep, and many images came to my mind, as if I was returning to the light before I died, and some fragments from childhood to adulthood were mixed together.

I remembered my young afternoon, lying on the branch of the peach tree beside the clear water ditch behind my house, listening to the crisp call of the summer acquaintance;

I remembered that more than ten years ago, my father took me to Chenzhou, held my hand, and passed by the flower shop next to the First People's Hospital;

I remember a Sunday night in high school, walking alone on a street lamp back to an empty dorm room with no lights on;

I remembered when I was in college, on an afternoon when there was no class, I was on the balcony watching the trains passing in the wilderness outside the walls;

I remembered that many years ago, on that cloudy afternoon, Wang and Li Zi came to the hospital to see me with flowers.
