Chen Lou came back to his senses, not knowing what Jiang You said to him, so he paused and hummed vaguely.

The two of them were silent again, eating steamed buns face to face.

After this meal, Guan Yu seemed to let go a little, no longer walking in front of him, but waiting for Chen Lou, seeing him follow, he pointed to the stilted building on the side of the road and said: "There are a lot of ethnic minorities here, like stilted buildings are more common in Xiangxi, there are Miao people living here, so you can also see the place near the river." ”

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the right side of the stone road, and sure enough, at the end of the path, he could see a wide river, opposite a cliff with axe four walls, the overhanging top was lush and green, and the scenery was very beautiful. Guan Yu motioned to Chen Lou to look at the house on the other side of the river, and said: "The scenery here is good, you can live in the stilted inn here these days, the feeling of Linjiang should be quite special." ”

When he said this, his eyes were deep, and from time to time a breeze blew on the river, and the sparkling waves were pushed away and reflected in their eyes.

Chen Lou glanced at it and said with some regret: "I can only do it next time." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I'll go back with the car the day after tomorrow," Chen Lou explained, "The return ticket has already been booked in advance, so I can't stay too long this time." ”

"Oh," Guan Yu lowered his head, looked up at him again, and said, "Then I won't send you at that time." I'll be back next week, and I'll be in the village below on the day you leave. ”

Chen Lou nodded.

The two of them were silent again, and each turned his head to look at the river in front of them and the steep and dangerous cliff face opposite.

—

The town in Emiyama County is small, and the health center is a tiny two-story building. Chen Lou followed a county person to the health center at noon, and was finally arranged to help in the infirmary.

Indeed, as Guan Yu said, the medical conditions here are not something that he can improve alone. At most, the doctors in the health center have a medical license, and except for two girls at the charging window and the prescription window, the average age of the other male doctors is forty-five or sixteen.

These doctors almost took care of all the work of injecting infusions, prescribing prescriptions and dressing wounds, and whoever came to see a doctor would see whoever was free, Chen Lou asked, and then he learned that they had to receive treatment for almost ten hours a day, not counting the situation of being called out to visit when he was at home. Chen Lou was busy in the infirmary all afternoon, dealing with a few abrasions and bleeding, and giving an infusion to an aunt with a cold. During this period, patients who came and went and returned were also watched twice by their families and friends, saying that he treated the wounds quickly and cleanly, and the bandages were particularly beautiful. Chen Lou couldn't laugh or cry, and could only watch a few people staring at his hands with blazing eyes.

He didn't stay long this time, and when he saw that the people here were simple and kind and lacked medical treatment, he couldn't bear to leave early, so he waited for the health center to close at night before going back.

The autumn leaves are cool and breezy, but the road is dark, Chen Lou's shoes are not very non-slip, and he is terrified when he walks on the stone road washed by the rain. He walked a little with his mobile phone, and finally saw the sign of the inn he was staying in. The lights in front of the inn were also so dim that they could be ignored, but fortunately, a guest room facing the street on the second floor was still lit up, and the windows were also open, illuminating half of the street. Chen Lou's heart was relieved, and he walked downstairs to take a look, only to remember that this was the one he was in front of the door.

When I returned to the inn, I saw that everyone was asleep, except for Guan Yu, who opened the window and opened the door, leaking a lot of light into the streets and corridors. There was also a little boy of four or five years old, dressed in a dirty little sweater, sitting on the bed and pulling bald yarn on his sleeves.

Guan Yu sat with his back to the corridor and was whispering: "In front of the gods, the attack of the human alliance collapsed in an instant, and it was completely ......defeated."

The little boy stopped and tilted his head and asked, "Defeated?" Guan Yu smiled sideways, and the little boy pointed to the door again: "Is he here to find you?" ”

Guan Yu turned around, revealing an illustration book spread out in front of him.

"I'm just here to say thank you," Chen Lou coughed lightly, pointed to the wide-open window opposite, and said, "I almost couldn't find my way just now." ”

"Well, people here go to bed early." Guan Yu said: "It's better to come back early tomorrow, the owner of the inn will be in trouble if he forgets to wait for the door." ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that the little boy was still looking at Chen Lou, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go and close the window." ”

Chen Lou noticed that Guan Yu was sitting on a small bench, and there were two stacks of books wrapped in kraft paper next to the bench, both half a person high, and two hardcover books on the bed, with a dark blue background.

Chen Lou suddenly realized that the bus was pulling some supplies.

Sure enough, Guan Yu raised his eyes and looked at the two stacks of books, and introduced: "These are all textbooks and workbooks for the children in the village, and the others are in the car, and we plan to send them down in batches." This child was sent by Houwa Village to pick us up, and it was the hardest there, and a four- or five-year-old child was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old envoy. ”

Chen Lou was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this child to come to pick up people.

"Are you telling him a story?" He laughed, "So you still bring them storybooks." ”

"Ah, that's not true," Guan Yu paused, lifted the book and showed it to him: "The Little Prince" and "Ahri", this is what I take with me to read. ”

Guan Yu had never seen this kind of picture book with pictures and words before, and Guan Yu didn't like children before. Chen Lou was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he secretly sighed in his heart and said goodnight.

The night in the town was very quiet, and the whisper of the breeze through the wooden houses fell faintly in my ears, occasionally mixed with Guan Yu's low and faint voice. Chen Lou couldn't sleep well, and at the beginning he could vaguely hear paragraphs of sentences, but then there were only one or two words in the back, which sounded like "forever", and seemed to have "goodbye". Later, the sound of reading the story was replaced by a few coughs, and it was impossible to tell whose it was.

He was in a trance, not knowing when he fell asleep. Unconsciously dreamed that he had stepped on the return train, the pedestrians in the station were bustling, his face was blurred, and he stood at the gate of the station and looked around blankly, but he never knew what he was waiting for. Eventually, he was squeezed into the car by the crowd. The train moved slowly forward, and he sat in a window seat and looked out, watching the sudden strong wind outside, and the black dragon rolling out, and suddenly his heart was flooded with an impenetrable sadness.

The heavy emotion hit his chest one by one, and Chen Lou suddenly felt sad and wanted to cry, and the whole person seemed to be out of breath. I don't know how long it took for my mood to ease slightly, and I suddenly heard the sound of someone walking, and it seemed that there was also the sound of a suitcase zipper being drawn.

His heart was relieved, and he heard a familiar voice whispering beside him before he woke up: "Don't call him, let him sleep." ”

The surroundings were quiet again, and when Chen Lou opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright, the two beds on the left and right were clean, all the luggage and clothes were gone, and only his own was still in place.

After a while, a little pharmacy girl from the health center called him and asked the innkeeper to help him ask if he was going to help today. Chen Lou suddenly woke up, hurriedly washed up and went out.

This day was not too busy, the old doctor saw that although Chen Lou was young, he was quite old-fashioned, so he simply let him stay in the infirmary to inject people. It's just that Chen Lou didn't feel anything with a mask, but the person who came to get the injection blushed at every turn, and the shy young man's muscles were tense all the time, Chen Lou couldn't relax when he slapped his buttocks, and finally limped out after the injection.

Chen Lou couldn't help but smile when he saw the way the man walked, and shook his head helplessly, the gloomy mood after waking up in the morning was suddenly a lot less. There were few people today, and the weather was good, so he waited for a while and saw that no one came again, so he simply wandered around the yard to move his muscles.

When someone hurriedly ran in, Chen Lou was shaking his arm, and he was startled when he turned around—the man had blood on his hands, and he didn't know if it was his or someone else's, and he rushed from him to the infirmary while running and shouting.

Chen Lou felt strange, and heard someone inside shouting him.

The old doctor on duty glanced at him and asked with some embarrassment: "Doctor Chen, I can't leave the house today, can you go down for me?" ”

Chen Lou didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment.

The old doctor pointed to the person just now and said, "Someone in Tuwan Village has cut off his leg while working, and the conditions in the village are limited, so he can't come, can you bring something over to show the villagers?" ”

Chen Lou hesitated, he had to go back with the car early tomorrow morning, nothing else, just afraid of delaying the trip. So he asked, "If I go today, can I come back in the evening?" ”

"Yes, yes," the old doctor hurriedly said, "Tuwan Village is not far away, no matter how good the night is, I will send you back, and I won't delay your business." ”

The young man named Anzi on the side nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I have a car, I'll send you back!" ”

Anzi's car stopped at the entrance of the health center, and Chen Lou recognized it as a Jialing motorcycle when he went out with a medical kit. Fortunately, Tuwan Village is really not far away, and Chen Lou sat in the back seat for twenty minutes before arriving at the place.

The injured person is Yasuko's father, but fortunately, although it looks terrifying, the wound is not serious. Chen Lou treated his wound well, and explained the precautions for changing the dressing one by one before carrying the medicine box and preparing to go back.

He didn't react when the first bean-sized raindrop fell down, and after he was stunned for a moment, he looked up again and saw that the sky suddenly darkened, and then with a rumbling thunder, the heavy rain poured down in the blink of an eye, and then looked up, the whole sky was dark!
