Moon Boat (XI)
Eleven
Xiao Zihua hurriedly shook Chen Yuxin vigorously, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Yuxin, Yuxin, wake up, wake up." I have something to say to you!" Chen Yuxin opened his eyes slightly, and asked weakly: "Brother Tianya, what are you going to say?" Xiao Zihua hurriedly said: "Yuxin, listen, are you still willing to write for me?" I told you that I still have a lot of works, and I really want to put them on the Internet, but I haven't lost them on the computer. Yuxin, are you willing to help me?" Chen Yuxin couldn't even lift her eyelids, but a bright smile appeared on her face. She replied in a weak voice: "Brother Tianya, I am willing to write for you for the rest of my life." Before the words fell, Chen Yuxin's head tilted and fainted in Xiao Zihua's arms.
No matter how Xiao Zihua shook this time, Chen Yuxin did not react. Xiao Zihua raised his head and shouted hoarsely into the sky: "Come on, someone! her life is in danger!" As soon as his words fell, he heard Qin Lei shouting: "They're here! They are here!" Xiao Zihua looked up and saw Qin Lei running towards them with rescuers. It turned out that during the time when they fell into the water, Qin Lei had already called the police, and after the police and ambulance personnel arrived, Qin Lei took everyone along the river to look for them.
The police and ambulance personnel ran to the bank of the river where Xiao Zihua and Chen Yuxin stayed, but the bank slope was too steep for rescuers to go down to the location where the two were to rescue. The rescuers discussed it for a while, and threw a sleeve on the head of the rescue rope. The rescue captain said to Xiao Zihua: "Put the rope on the girl, let's pull her up first!" Xiao Zihua looked at the bank slope in front of him and shouted: "No, she is already unconscious, she can't climb up, it's all up to you to drag up, but there are so many stones on this slope, dragging her up like this will scratch her!" The rescue captain said: "Then what should I do?" She is already unconscious, and it is also dangerous to soak in the water for a long time! Young man, time waits for no one!" Xiao Zihua looked at the ramp in front of him again, and finally said resolutely: " I'll hold her, you can drag me up!" As he spoke, Xiao Zihua put the rope noose on himself, picked up Chen Yuxin and turned around, leaning his back against the bank slope. The people on the shore understood that Xiao Zihua was going to use his body to make pads for Chen Yuxin to protect Chen Yuxin from being scratched. The rescue captain shouted: "Silly boy, this will scratch you!" Xiao Zihua shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, pull it!" Xiao Zihua's tone was almost rude, but the rescue captain was not angry at all, but praised: "Good boy!" turned back to the rescue team members and said: "Everyone be steady and slow to pull, try to make the young man suffer less injuries!" So under the joint pull of the rescue team members, Xiao Zihua was slowly dragged out of the water with Chen Yuxin in his arms, and then dragged up along the bank slope full of stones.
Although it was only a few meters away, every inch of movement made Xiao Zihua's back grind against the hard stone. When the rescue team dragged them to the shore, Xiao Zihua was lying there and couldn't move at all. The rescue team members carried Chen Yuxin on the stretcher, turned around and lifted Xiao Zihua to look again, his back was covered with blood marks that had been dragged out, and the rescue captain sighed: "Silly boy!" hurriedly put Xiao Zihua on the stretcher and carried him away from the scene......
Chen Yuxin stayed in the intensive care unit for a whole week before she was completely out of danger. In a week, apart from seeing the medical staff, she only saw her parents through the window. Today she was finally transferred to the general ward and allowed to visit casually.
In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Lei, who got the news, was the first to come to see her. As soon as she entered the ward, Qin Lei hugged Chen Yuxin's neck and cried "woo".
Chen Yuxin comforted her: "Silly girl, we meet again, we should be happy, why are you crying?" Qin Lei sobbed and said: "I'm so stupid, why didn't I react at that time, Brother Hua asked us to retreat, because the road under our feet was about to collapse! Recalling the scene at that time, Chen Yuxin also had palpitations, but she still comforted Qin Lei and said: "Yes! Who would have thought that the road under our feet would suddenly collapse." But now it's okay, we're all right. Were you seriously injured?". Qin Lei said: "I'm fine, it hurt a lot when I fell, and I couldn't get up from the pain." But when I saw that you had fallen, Brother Hua chased along the river and jumped down, and I was really anxious! I thought to myself, what should I do? Who will I find to save you? Later, when I thought about finding the police, I crawled on the ground and called the police! When the police came, I was able to get up, so I took them down the river to find you. It's you, but you're really guilty!" Chen Yuxin asked again: "What about him?" Qin Lei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is he?" Chen Yuxin said embarrassedly: "He's him, who else can there be?" Qin Lei suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean Brother Hua! He's fine." His injuries were not as serious as yours, and he was discharged after only three days in the hospital. Now I'm back to work in Hougou. ”
Chen Yuxin said with relief: "Really?" Qin Lei said again: "He cares about you, but he doesn't dare to call your parents directly." Ask me every day. He also said that if you can visit, you must tell him first. But today your mother called and said you could visit, but he wasn't there. I had to come alone. ”
Chen Yuxin said: "Then you just wait for him, he should be in a hurry." ”
When Qin Lei heard this, she smiled and said, "What's the matter?
Chen Yuxin's face turned red and said shyly: "Look at you, you're talking nonsense again." As he spoke, he lowered his head.
Qin Lei approached Chen Yuxin and said in a low voice: "Hey, tell me, how did you feel when Brother Hua was holding you at that time?" Chen Yuxin's face turned red when he heard this, and he said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense! I was in a daze, and I didn't know who saved me!" Qin Lei asked rhetorically: "Really? I can see that your hand has been holding his arm, and you have no clothes on you at that time!" Chen Yuxin's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly scolded: "Dead girl, don't talk about it!" Qin Lei said: "Why don't you let me say it?" It was so dangerous at the time, but he always guarded you like that. It was a touching scene! If I had a man who would guard me like that in the danger of that day, I would have followed him with all my heart for the rest of my life!" Chen Yuxin's heart "thumped", and a strange feeling surged in his heart, but he couldn't say what it tasted like. She straightened her face and said to Qin Lei in a tone of lesson: "Little girl, you are talking crazy again, and you are not ashamed!"
Qin Lei stuck out her tongue and said with a grin: "I'm telling the truth! I can tell you, in order to prevent you from scratching, when the rescue team members dragged you up, he lay down on the bank slope and let you lie on him." When I dragged you up, his back was already bloody, and I didn't dare to look at it! How many men do you think would be willing to sacrifice for a woman like this?" Chen Yuxin was stunned when he heard this. It was the first time she had heard the details of her rescue, and it turned out that she was still glad that she had almost no injuries except for the serious injuries on her legs. Now that she knew that it was Xiao Zihua who hurt her body in exchange, she suddenly felt that she couldn't pretend to be like this anymore. Seeing that Chen Yuxin didn't speak, Qin Lei was a little overwhelmed, she quickly picked up a pingguo and a fruit knife from the bedside table, and said, "Yuxin, I'll peel a pingguo for you, right?" Chen Yuxin grabbed Qin Lei's hand and said: "Qin Lei, go back and tell him that I want to see him and let him come and see me quickly!"
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Zihua rushed to see Chen Yuxin. As soon as the two of them met, they both had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe. There are a lot of mixed feelings in my chest, and I have a thousand words to say but I can't say anything.
After a while, Xiao Zihua broke the silence first and asked, "Are you better?"
Chen Yuxin nodded lightly and said, "Well, it's much better." Thank you for saving me!"
Xiao Zihua smiled and said, "Why did I save you? ”
Chen Yuxin said: "But you jumped into the flood to save me." Weren't you afraid then?"
Xiao Zihua pondered for a moment and said, "Looking back now, I'm really a little scared, but I didn't think about it so much at the time." ”
Chen Yuxin asked again: "What's wrong with your hand?"
Xiao Zihua's left hand was still wrapped in a bandage. He raised his hand to look at it and said, "Oh, I scratched when I grabbed the roots in the water that day, and now it's fine." After a few days, you will be able to go bandage-free. ”
Chen Yuxin said again: "And the injury on your back, is it okay? I heard Qin Lei say that when you dragged us ashore that day, your back was bloody. And I didn't get scratched again because I was lying in your arms......" Speaking of this, Chen Yuxin's voice was as thin as a gossamer, and his face turned red unconsciously.
Xiao Zihua was also nervous. In order to relax himself, he deliberately raised his arms up and down, and said, "Oh, it's okay too." At this point, the two of them were silent again.
After a while, this time Chen Yuxin took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "I'm sorry!"
Xiao Zihua was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you say?
Chen Yuxin said: "I scolded you for being cowardly that day. In fact, you are a brave person, the bravest person in the world. ”
Xiao Zihua smiled: "No, no, it's nothing. I know you're doing it for my good, too. I should thank you for helping me so hard. ”
Chen Yuxin asked again: "So, Nanfang, are you going to go?"
Xiao Zihua nodded heavily and said, "No, I'm not going!"
Chen Yuxin continued to ask: "Then what are you going to do in the future?"
Xiao Zihua said: "In the future, I will no longer expect to be able to engage in writing work." ”
Chen Yuxin said: "What? Are you going to give up writing?"
Xiao Zihua said: "How can it be? I just no longer have any illusions about being able to engage in writing work. Originally, I had always imagined that I would be able to write as a profession in my life, but now it seems that it may not be possible. But I'm going to keep writing, and when I'm old, I just need to shed a little bit of something worth remembering for people. ”
Chen Yuxin couldn't help but shudder when she heard this, and she said bitterly: "That's your ideal!"
Xiao Zihua smiled faintly, still in a steady tone: "The ideal is to make people think about it." No one has ever said that ideals must be realized!"
Chen Yuxin asked hoarsely, "Then are you willing?"
Xiao Zihua was stunned for a moment, and then he still tried to say in a steady tone: "Why are you asking this?"
Chen Yuxin couldn't control her emotions anymore at this time, she suddenly said excitedly: "But I just want to know!"
Xiao Zihua said helplessly: "Whether you are willing or unwilling, the problem is that I don't have a choice!"
What Chen Yuxin can't accept the most is Xiao Zihua's submissive attitude towards life. Xiao Zihua said that it was okay to be willing, and it was okay to say that he was unwilling, but the only thing Chen Yuxin didn't want to hear was that Xiao Zihua said that he had no choice. Chen Yuxin's patience finally reached the limit, and she suddenly shouted hoarsely: "What you said is easy, and you will send people away without a choice! Do you know how much care others have put into your affairs? Teacher Jurong has taken great pains to contact her friends for you in order to help you. And me, for you to have a good development, I'm almost sad to death......" Speaking of this, Chen Yuxin suddenly realized that he had lost his words again. Thinking of this, Chen Yuxin hurriedly turned her head to the side and ignored Xiao Zihua with an angry look.
Xiao Zihua saw Chen Yuxin's uncomfortable appearance, and hurriedly persuaded: "Yuxin, don't be so excited, your injury is just a little better, this is not good for your health." ”
Chen Yuxin said resolutely: "I don't want you to care! If you don't make it clear, leave me alone!"
Xiao Zihua stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a while. The two fell silent again.
Xiao Zihua stood in a daze for a long time. Seeing that Chen Yuxin still refused to look back, he slowly walked to the window and looked out of the window.
For a moment, I only heard Xiao Zihua let out a long breath, and then chanted: "Drunk and pick up the lamp to watch the sword ......" Chen Yuxin was stunned when he heard it, and hurriedly pricked up his ears to listen to what Xiao Zihua was reading.
I only heard Xiao Zihua continue to chant:
“…… Dream back to blow the horn company camp,
Eight hundred miles under the command,
Fifty strings flipped outside the plug,
Autumn soldiers on the battlefield.
?
The horse's Lu Kuai,
The bow is like a thunderbolt.
But the king's affairs are in the world,
Win the name before and after,
Pathetic_"
At this point, Xiao Zihua's voice was already choked. He tried to calm himself down for a moment before he continued, "Poor white happens!"
At this time, Chen Yuxin had already turned his head and looked straight at Xiao Zihua. She was nurtured by her father, a Chinese teacher, since she was a child, and she knew that this was Xin Qiji's "Breaking the Array". But only when she listened to Xiao Zihua chant today, she realized the grief and indignation in the heart of the lyricist.
She turned her head and looked straight at Xiao Zihua. At the moment when Xiao Zihua turned his head from the window, Chen Yuxin saw a crystal tear fall from Xiao Zihua's eyes. The tears were shining as they fell into the sunlight that came in from the window.
Xiao Zihua obviously didn't want Chen Yuxin to see the tears in his eyes. He quickly twisted his head to the door, and said in a hoarse voice: "I still have something to do, let's go first!" When Xiao Zihua disappeared outside the door, Chen Yuxin's tears couldn't stop falling down. Looking at the lost Xiao Zihua, Chen Yuxin felt even more uncomfortable than him.
Chen Yuxin strongly felt that he had a responsibility to help Xiao Zihua realize his dream. I heard Qin Lei say yesterday that if there was a man who was willing to guard her like Xiao Zihua when she was in danger, she would follow him with all her heart in this life. Chen Yuxin realized that his life and Xiao Zihua were inseparable. Xiao Zihua's joy is her joy, and Xiao Zihua's pain is her pain. Since Xiao Zihua is so eager to engage in writing, she has to help him realize this wish.
Now the best way to realize Xiao Zihua's wish is to let him go to the south. However, Chen Yuxin understood in his heart the reason why Xiao Zihua couldn't make the trip, not only because of his family's obstruction, but also because Xiao Zihua couldn't make up his mind to leave his family. How can Xiao Zihua make up his mind to leave his family and go to the south? Chen Yuxin couldn't figure it out for the time being.
