Chapter 19: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone (1)
The weather was not very cold this morning, and Hongchen planned to go outside for a workout after breakfast. A rare sunny day. I didn't prepare much, just put on a beanie hat and didn't even bring gloves and went out of the house. The sun was shining, and it felt warm, as if spring was coming, and I walked all the way. There are a lot of people looking outdoors, and they all take advantage of this bright sunlight to breathe. Winter in the Northeast is a rare good weather. A few half-grown children were bouncing around in the open space on the side of the road. Some of the older people practice Tai Chi in a nearby open field. There are also several couples of men and women who fall in love under bare trees. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Hongchen walked around and watched it, admiring the things that were happening around him, but he didn't know that danger was right in front of him.
When Hongchen crossed the street to the Internet café not far away (this Internet café was changed from the previous game hall; because the above text was issued and the game hall was banned, the boss couldn't go hungry, so he had to buy a few computers in the original place and open an Internet café, which was the only Internet café in the small village. Since Hongchen returned to his hometown, he would come to this Internet café whenever he had time, sometimes surfing the Internet, sometimes just watching other people surf the Internet. Sometimes I also talk to the boss, after all, the boss and Hongchen have known each other for many years), danger happens. A speeding motorcycle flew past as if it were flying past Hongchen's right hand, and Hongchen, who was watching the scenery, hurriedly dodged to the left, due to the loss of balance in his body, coupled with excessive force, he slipped to the left-hand side. In order not to hurt the head, he instinctively used his left hand to support the ground, who would have thought that what his left hand touched was a sharp stone, and in an instant, bright red blood rushed out from the palm of his hand. And the motorcycle sped away and disappeared without a trace. Hongchen endured the severe pain and went to the nearest clinic to bandage the wound.
"It's very strict, how did you do it" While cleaning Hongchen's wound, he asked Hongchen the reason for his injury, and Hongchen slowly told Dr. Sù. Looking at his left hand, which was tightly wrapped in gauze, Hongchen was angry. Cursed the man who drove the motorcycle.
"You can't get your hands wet, and you have to change the dressing tomorrow, and you have to get a tetanus shot to avoid infection," the doctor said to Hongchen. Hongchen kept nodding his head there, still cursing the person who drove the motorcycle in his heart.
Hongchen walked home slowly with his right hand and his left hand, and made his butt on the kang. Why are you so unlucky! Why is there a stone on the ground all of a sudden, and it is angular. He really didn't choose the yellow calendar to go out! He kept thinking about it in his heart. When grandma came back, she found Hongchen's left hand wrapped in it, and asked this and that, Hongchen explained impatiently. Grandma was very worried about his hands, afraid of leaving some sequelae. Hongchen comforted, it's just a little skin trauma, don't worry about it, it'll be fine after a while, but you can't get wet recently, otherwise you may be infected. Originally, I wanted to help my grandmother share her worries, but now I have caused a lot of trouble to my grandmother.
It was late at night, and Grandpa dragged his tired body in from outside the house. At this time, Hongchen had already fallen asleep, and grandma got up to give grandpa hot rice and boil water. Then he told his grandfather about Hongchen's broken hand, and his grandfather's tired face added a little sorrow. After eating, the grandfather also went to look at the red dust that had fallen asleep. I just didn't say anything with a sad face, washed and went to sleep.
It was already more than 10 o'clock in the morning when Hongchen got up the next day, and it was still sunny outside the window, but the pain in his hands made him feel that there was really an accident yesterday. Grandma didn't go to do anything else today, just looked at Hongchen and knew that Hongchen woke up and grandma prepared hot noodles; in the past, as long as Hongchen was sick, grandma would cook noodles for Hongchen to eat, so this time was no exception. Hongchen crawled out of the quilt and began to eat noodles without washing his face or brushing his mouth. It's still the same as before, and the taste of grandma's hand-rolled noodles has not changed, but time has ruthlessly engraved the vicissitudes of time on grandma's face. The green silk has turned gray hair.
Hongchen was brought up by his grandmother since he was a child. Hongchen looked at the changes in his grandmother, and felt very uncomfortable. Seeing that my grandmother, who is about to reach her prime, is still working tirelessly, just to study hard and start a family. Now I still have to cāo heart for me. I couldn't help but burst into tears, so I had to turn my back and swallow slowly in order not to let my grandmother see it.
Hongchen, who had eaten, had to go to the clinic to change the dressing, and grandma originally said that she was going to go, but Aunt Zhang next door came to ask grandma to help. Although my grandmother is old, she is still deaf and blind, and she was a well-known embroidery expert in the neighborhood back then. Many people's bedding, pillows, bed sheets, and other embroidery and knitting have traces of grandma. The second son of Mrs. Zhang's family needs to make a set of bedding to get married this year, which is a custom here, so please ask grandma to come over and give guidance. Of course, you can't always express some guidance in vain, it depends on the conditions of the people, but since Hongchen remembers, grandma has received more red envelopes, in recent years, especially the year when Hongchen went to college, the employer gave more money, specifically the rise in prices, or want to help Hongchen go to college (by the way, Hongchen is the first student in their village to be admitted to college since they can take the university exam, when they were admitted to university, many people came to send things to Hongchen's family, there are all kinds of eggs, fruits, and some simply wrapped a red envelope and sent it, and Hongchen's grandparents were very embarrassed。 And the extraordinarily large amount of giving is unknown. So Hongchen had to go to the clinic to change the dressing by himself, and after he arrived at the clinic, the doctor came over to open the gauze to see that the wound seemed to heal well, and then carefully changed the dressing for Hongchen. When I was about to leave, I still told Hongchen not to get wet, to avoid infection, etc., this is what a doctor should do, Hongchen just nodded and agreed. Then he went out of the clinic and was about to go home, but he heard a group of people talking about something in front of him, and Hongchen leaned over curiously to hear what was going on.
When I walked over, I heard an old man say, "Yesterday a motorcycle was crushed by a dump truck, and that person was almost crushed into a piece of paper!" Another aunt said, "It seems that because the motorcycle drove too fast, it went directly under the big wheel, and the big car crushed that person to death because of overload and brake failure." ”
"I've seen that one on a motorcycle," said a small child. Everyone looked at each other, and the child continued, "Yesterday, that motorcycle scraped our college student down, and then he searched it and ran away. I heard that there was an accident, so I ran to see that it was the person who was riding the motorcycle, who asked him to scrape our college students, and ran away regardless of it, and he deserved to be killed!" said the child.
Hongchen seemed to feel guilty when he heard this, if it weren't for his own curse yesterday, maybe that person wouldn't have died, he was just scared of himself, and he fell by himself, he didn't have to take his life as compensation!
But Hongchen has a thought, this person drives too fast, even if he doesn't curse him, he will have an accident. But after all, it was a living human life, and it disappeared like this, (Reminder, no matter how important you are, please don't speed) After all, he cursed him mercilessly yesterday, and he still felt extremely uncomfortable. I had to keep my head down and go home around the crowd. Along the way, I just kept telling myself whether I was wrong or not, and so on. When I got home, I was really bored, so I had to text the fairy tale again, telling the fairy tale what happened in the past two days, so that I could get some relief and comfort.
After the fairy tale received the text message, she analyzed Hongchen seriously, "This matter is not your fault, you don't think too much about this matter, after all, it was not you who hit the person, nor did you instigate it, so you don't have to blame yourself." If you want to open up, people like him, if you don't get killed today, you will be killed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it's just a matter of time."
After receiving the reply from the fairy tale, Hongchen's heart calmed down a little, but deep down he still felt a faint pain, and he didn't know if it was his hand or the pain for the person who was hit. He finally understood that people can't have revenge, if it wasn't for his revenge psychology that cursed him at the beginning, even if he knew that he was killed today, he wouldn't be so entangled.
A qiē can only be solved by time, and maybe it will not be remembered in a few days or years.
