When Qi Yun opened his eyes again, he only saw dazzling white, snow white, no layers, no shadows. It is said that white is a symbol of purity, so in such overwhelming purity, is there also a secret hidden filth? I don't know why, Qi Yun actually had such an idea.
Then she turned her gaze to the left and right, and saw the exhausted, unshaven Hong Jian, a pair of bloodshot eyes looking at her with concern.
"Brother Arrow, do you know what I was thinking just now?" Qi Yun's voice was weak, but he actually smiled mischievously at Hong Jian, just like the stubbornness of his childhood, "I see that there is white everywhere here, if it is not heaven, it must be a hospital...... But after seeing you, I can be sure of one thing: this must be a hospital. Because you guy is steely and cold-blooded, it's definitely not that easy to go to heaven. ”
"It's better to keep you asleep and save you trouble."
Hong Jian adjusted the hanging bottle that was putting the infusion on the back of Qi Yun's hand, and pulled the corner of his mouth, which was regarded as a smile.
Qi Yun paused, her mind was like a movie slowing down, and she gradually remembered what happened before she fainted, and she stuck out her tongue:
"Did you go to the village and save me? I'm really damn good. ”
In the hallucinations brought by the pain, she thought that the person who came was Lu Wei...... And the thought of the source of the great pain that made her faint suddenly trembled, and the memories that she did not want to recall slowly came along the way, gloomy and choked her heart.
Hong Jian adjusted the hanging bottle, sat on a chair at the head of Qi Yun's bed with his arms crossed, and approached Qi Yun:
"Yunyun, I have something to tell you."
Qi Yun straightened his body suddenly, staring at Hong Jian's unopened mouth for a moment. Her consciousness lingered uncontrollably somewhere in her body, and it was clear that the answer was already on the horizon, but she still didn't want to accept the reality, although she didn't know how to deal with another problem if it wasn't for this outcome.
But she also decided to brace herself to meet the judgment of fate, shook her hair, and she bravely looked into Hong Jian's eyes:
"Brother Aji, say it."
Hong Jian smiled helplessly, "Yunyun, you were injured this time, what was that when the mob attacked you...... Attempted, but his heavy blow caused you ...... Ahem, caused your ...... Abortion. ”
A sentence of only a dozen or twenty words was uttered by Hong Jian, who has always been longer than words, but it was stumbling and unexpectedly difficult. Qi Yun's tight back seemed to be pierced by countless steel needles, and she didn't feel the pain, but it was so cold that she gritted her teeth and shivered slightly, she subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, which was as flat and soft as ever, and she couldn't see what she had and lost.
"For this reason, I didn't tell your family, nor did I tell your other classmates or friends...... Well, I think I should ask for your opinion, is it better to keep a low profile on this matter? ”
Qi Yun lowered his head dejectedly: "You did the right thing...... Brother Ajian, thank you. ”
Hong Jian patted her on the back gently, this wordless comfort made her even weaker, very sad, but there was not a single tear. In order to distract her, Hong Jian began to tell her about the village, and Hong Jian first told her the "good news" that Chunsheng's father had returned.
"Is that 'good news'?" If Qi Yun hadn't been able to support it physically, he would have to jump out of bed, "Where was Chunsheng's mother when he was bedridden for many years?" Chunsheng couldn't afford to go to school, and he was so anxious that he had a fever and was about to die, where was he when he was dying? What kind of face does this irresponsible man have to come back? Why don't you kick out the door and let him roll as far as he can?! ”
Hong Jian didn't answer, just looked at Qi Yun with a smile, and there was a clear compassion in his eyes. Qi Yun gradually calmed down, leaned back to the head of the bed tiredly, and said slowly:
"It's back...... It's good. Although that person is not a thing, he is not worthy of being a husband at all, let alone a father, but at least Chunsheng and his mother have a little bit of support for their lives. ”
Hong Jian nodded, and continued:
"Also, the man who attacked you ......"
Qi Yun interjected anxiously and asked, "Who is he?" Could it be from the village? ”
After saying that, she shook her head herself, "Impossible, absolutely impossible......"
"You're right, it's not from the village, it's not from a few nearby natural villages. I have asked the public security department to investigate, and I have not yet found out who he is, but I suspect that this person is from the city. ”
"What? Someone from the regional capital? Qi Yun felt ridiculous, "How is it possible?" Why do people from the prefecture go to that remote natural village? It can't be just for ...... For that what am I? ”
Hong Jian glanced at her:
"You know, I know the villagers in the village, and I once went back to the village to visit after you were put in the hospital, and the only clue is that in the afternoon, everyone saw a tall strange man appear around the village, and some villagers asked him, and he said that he was a relative and went the wrong way. Then in the evening, he disappeared from the village. The village chief also talked to him a few words, saying that he had a prefectural accent and was very familiar with the affairs of the prefecture. ”
Qi Yun's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration,
"Do you mean to say that we offended someone last time we went to the prefecture to investigate Yuqin?"
Hong Jian pretended to be surprised: "Huh? When did you become so smart? The doctor said that the thug hit you on the head when they attacked you, and I was worried that you would be stupid when you woke up. ”
"Since it's so effective, it seems that you should ask him to smash it for you," Qi Yun sneered at each other, "But, will they really send someone to that me?" Even if it were me, what good would it do them? ”
"I'm just guessing that they're going for you, and as for what you said, it should be just a temporary idea of the thugs themselves." Hong Jian said: "However, no matter what, you can't go back to the village, it's too unsafe. ”
"Huh?" Qi Yun was dumbfounded, he couldn't accept this result, and his heart seemed to be emptied, "No, I have already promised the principal, as long as I live, I will not go back again." ”
There was sadness in Hong Jian's eyes, but it was very resolute,
"I've spoken to the principal. To tell you the truth, this proposal was made by the principal first. I've guessed before that who attacked you. But after hearing the village chief say the words 'people from the city', the principal immediately thought that it was you and I who went to investigate Yuqin's matter and offended the bad people - don't look at the principal as old and faint, he is actually a very witty and socially experienced person, he immediately instructed me that I must not let Qi Yun's daughter go back to the village to show up, and he slapped his mouth with regret, and said for a while that although he felt sorry for Yuqin, he knew that being involved in this matter would hurt you, and he would not let you care about anything; After a while, he said that he let you go to Chunsheng's house alone, and drill the corn field alone in the middle of the night, he is not an elder at all......"
Qi Yun's eyes were full of tears, and his voice contained infinite sadness:
"Headmaster...... He just swept me out of the house? ”
Although she was sad, she also knew that there was no room for mercy in this matter, and she was stunned for a while, so she had to say:
"I can't do it if I don't show up in the village. When I get better, I have to go back once, and give him the tuition fee for Chunsheng, and my dad will give the money...... Although Chunsheng's father said that he went back, he didn't know if he could rely on it......"
"I'll go back with you." This time, Hong Jian replied very happily.
After resting for a few days, Hong Jian saw that Qi Yun's health was almost better, sent her home, and helped her make up a lie that she was making up lessons for students at night, and there were no street lights in the village, so she fell down the hillside and injured herself.
Hong Jian presented Qi Yun's diagnosis of "fractures and multiple soft tissue contusions" to Qi Yun's parents with both hands, and her mother was immediately shocked and wanted to complain about Qi Yun, but she saw her pale face after recovering from serious injuries, full of stomach and unable to speak. However, when she heard that Qi Yun had gone through this "lesson", she broke off the idea of teaching and was willing to return to the city, and felt that this was also a blessing in misfortune, and the bad thing turned into a good thing, and the mood was finally a little better.
The father's eyes looking at Qi Yun were very complicated, I don't know if he was weak, Qi Yun always felt that his father's face was covered with a layer of melancholy, and this melancholy did not seem to be aimed at the "skin trauma" in his father's mouth, Qi Yun was shocked, could it be that his father, who had always been hand-eyed, heard some rumors that should not be heard? Qi Yun was panicked, and the arms around his father's neck were even tighter, and he had been grinding with his father for a long time, but listening to his father babbling about her injury, it didn't seem like there was anything unusual, Qi Yun let go of his heart, it seemed that he was thinking too much, his father was usually serious on the surface, and he could pretend to be calm when he saw Qi Yun injured, but in fact, there was still a trace of panic in his heart.
Qi Yun sighed deeply, looking apologetically at his parents who were busy making the bed for him, and he still felt sorry for them after all.
For more than a month after that, his father "ordered" Qi Yun to recuperate at home, and even confiscated his mobile phone, saying that he was afraid that she would get in touch with her classmates and friends, and her heart would be wild again. Although Qi Yun kept complaining that he was always lying on the bed alone, mushrooms were about to grow on his body, but because of the apology in his heart, he still obeyed his parents' wishes after all.
A month later, Zhuo Mei finally heard her father tell her that Qi Yun had returned to the city and had been recuperating at home for nearly a month. Qi Yun, who was almost not crazy, finally saw a peer who was a close friend of his age, and he was a close friend since childhood, showing a rare smile on his face, holding Zhuomei's hand and chattering non-stop.
Zhuo Mei was unusually quiet, holding Qi Yun's hand tightly when Qi Yun lamented the history of the revolutionaries who taught in the countryside, and expressed her longing for the students, and the sadness that she could not return to teach due to illness. There was a smile on her face, but it seemed far away, and there was a faint sadness in her occasionally lowered gaze.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? It's not like you! Qi Yun stabbed Zhuo Mei angrily, suddenly slapped his head, and said angrily:
"I see, isn't it a damn handsome little guy who is angry with Miss Zhuo? Tell me, when I'm healed and can get out of bed, I'll have to give him some color! ”
Zhuo Mei reluctantly cheered up and smiled, "Nonsense, am I the one who is angry with others?" ”
Qi Yun shook Zhuomei's arm: "Xiaomei, what's wrong with you?" You're worrying me like this...... I said, it can't be that you're really in love with a demon, right? ”
Zhuomei shook her head:
"I really admire you, you are injured like this, and you have to help others fight grievances. I'm fine, you can recuperate in peace...... That, go first, I'll come back to see you tomorrow. ”
"Uh...... All right. ”
Qi Yun had no choice but to let go of his hand. Originally, she wanted to ask Zhuo Mei where Lu Wei was and what she was doing, and she also wanted Zhuo Mei to help her bring a letter, telling Lu Wei that if she was free, she would find a way to come and see her...... Lu Wei, she has a lot of things she wants to tell Lu Wei.
But looking at Zhuomei's state, it should be true that she is emotionally frustrated, and it is estimated that this blow is not shallow, at least she has never seen Zhuomei who has always been happy like this. In this case, Qi Yun didn't dare to mention his boyfriend, for fear of touching Zhuomei's sadness.
She had a lot of things to say to Zhuomei, and Zhuomei's face obviously had an expression of wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, and went out after telling Qi Yun to pay attention to her body again. Zhuomei, who judged the two of them on weekdays, made Qi Yun full of question marks, and even his own sad self-injury faded, but he kept guessing what Zhuomei was about, but he couldn't figure it out.
Qi Yun secretly made up her mind that when Zhuo Mei came back tomorrow, she would definitely not care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and she would not ask what was going on. Thinking like this, I only felt a wave of tiredness welling up in my heart, and I leaned on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
In a daze, she actually saw the tall, clean young man walking towards her, it was Lu Wei, with a little familiar reproach, and said, "How did you do it?" Why is it okay for people to teach, just you make it like this? Qi Yun pursed his lips and smiled, because he could understand the distress implied in his voice, so he didn't defend it, just stretched out his hand, gently entangled his fingers, and said coquettishly:
"Lu Wei, treat me, don't you know how to use mung bean noodles to knead small cakes and stick them on the soles of your feet to heal? I'm ...... now It's so uncomfortable. ”
"Nonsense, that's a home remedy for fever, where do you have a fever now?"
"People just have a fever," she refused to let go, and pressed Lu Wei's hand on her cheek, which was really crimson and hot, "Look, it's really hot, right?" Will you help me? ”
Lu Wei sighed helplessly, really turned around and took out raw mung bean noodles out of nowhere, beat another egg white, and kneaded it into two round cakes with clear water. All the procedures, Lu Wei's movements and eyes, are exactly the same as when Qi Yun went to the hospital for an intravenous drip when she had a fever in her sophomore year, and Lu Wei secretly went to the hospital to see her. After carefully pinching the small cake, Lu Wei blushed and held it in front of Qi Yun, and said in a rough voice:
"You can post it yourself, stick it to the Yongquan Cave, and you'll be fine."
Qi Yun raised her head and pretended to be asleep, so she didn't want to post it herself. Her eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes couldn't help trembling slightly, of course Lu Wei could see it, but he just smiled helplessly, and gently untied Qi Yun's shoes and socks, and at the same time was glad that Qi Yun pretended to be asleep, at least so that she couldn't see her nervousness and panic.
Qi Yun secretly narrowed his eyes and watched Lu Wei busy with himself through a thin slit. He pinched the two mung bean flour cakes, frowned and carefully pasted them on the soles of Qi Yun's feet, neither forward, not backward, not left nor right, just the lowest part of the two feet, and said softly while sticking to it:
"We rural children don't go to the doctor when we have a fever when we are young. As soon as I burned it, my mother would stick two cakes for me like this, and I would see if I pasted them. ”
Sure enough, he didn't deceive anyone, as soon as the little mung bean cake touched the center of Qi Yun's feet, Qi Yun immediately felt two coolness rising from the soles of his feet, all over his body, making her whole person refreshing and comfortable. Qi Yun closed his eyes with satisfaction, and heard Lu Wei say:
"You can get a good night's sleep."
She hurriedly opened her eyes, "No, you talk to me, I don't want to sleep." ”
She took his hand and played tricks while trying to fight the Sandman, and she felt endless peace of mind and sweetness in her sleepiness, which went straight to her heart. But then she heard a sober voice, and said complainingly:
"I still said that I didn't want to sleep, I fell asleep on the head of the bed, and I didn't cover it with a quilt, and when the fracture was not good, Lisuo had a fever and turned into pneumonia first, the bigger it was, the less worry-free it was."
Qi Yun opened her eyes blankly, and was dejected to see that her mother was struggling to straighten her head, trying to press her to the pillow, she woke up with a spirit, extremely lost, sat up and said to her mother:
"Mom, it's okay, I'm not sleeping."
"Get up and eat without sleeping, Aunt Qin is already ready for dinner."
The mother turned and walked out of the room, leaving behind an elegant but slightly tired back. Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, trying to dispel the regret in his heart. Well, it doesn't matter, she and Lu Wei will see each other again soon, Lu Wei don't look at the whole person coldly, but he did love her, and he will love her the same in the future...... The two of them had already had a deeper contact than sticking mung bean cakes on the soles of their feet, and she had forgotten them in her dreams just now.
Qi Yun covered his mouth and secretly smirked for a while, got up and went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then ran into the restaurant. The table is full of Dengdeng, all of which are her favorite dishes, many of which are cooked by her mother. Qi Yun had no appetite from morning to noon, and when he was suddenly hungry, he couldn't bother to speak, just chewed according to the case. My father and mother saw that she had a good appetite, and swept away the malaise of the previous days, and they were full of joy and talked a lot.
The mother took a chopstick dish and said to the father casually:
"The college classmate of Qi Yun you talked about last time, the one you recommended to the urban construction company, after I went, I heard that he did a good job, and his colleagues praised him for being down-to-earth and calm. Sister Sun's husband is in the urban construction company, and he is still the president of a branch, and now he already knows the new young man. ”
"I also know Xiao Sun's husband, and he knows that the young man is sure, but not necessarily because the young man is down-to-earth and calm at work," the father took a sip of soup before he said in a straight voice: "I am not denying the young man's work attitude and work ability, but this is certainly not the point." The point is: that young man is in love with the daughter of Vice President He of the Urban Construction Corporation, and it is estimated that he will soon become Deputy He's son-in-law. ”
"I said! But it's strange to talk about it, that kid has only been working in urban construction for a month, right, how did he get along with He Vice's daughter? ”
"So what?" The father disagreed, "Haven't you heard of love at first sight between young people?" Besides, I think that child is not bad, although the family is a little poor, and there is no foundation in the city, but in terms of diligence and hard work, they are all first-class, and the person is also good-looking, one meter nine tall, I say a word of disrespect for the old, he is fully equipped with the objective factors that make the daughter of a rich family fall in love at first sight! What era is it now, and it's not just about birth. ”
"What, what, what?" Qi Yun listened to his parents' lively talk, and finally interjected, and hurriedly gossiped: "The person you two just said is my college classmate?" Who is it, so powerful? ”
The father stopped the spoon, his eyes drifted from the top of the soup bowl to look at Qi Yun, and before he could answer, he heard his mother say:
"Like...... What is it called, Lu Wei, is it, Lao Qi? The mother touched her father with her elbow and asked him for confirmation.
"What...... What the?! ”
Qi Yun chewed a mouthful of rice and was swallowing, but when he heard the words, he didn't come up in a breath, and he choked himself and rolled his eyes. Her mother hurriedly helped her stroke her chest and wipe her back, muttering: "There is no food appearance for eating, girls are not as good as other boys will plan for themselves." ”
Qi Yun couldn't even breathe, and his eyes widened to ask his father for confirmation:
"Uncle, it's impossible, right? The person you're talking about is definitely not Lu Wei, right? ”
"It's called Lu Wei." The father stretched out his hand and gestured, "The young man is so much taller than me, and he looks very spirited, so it's your classmate."
Qi Yun was dumbfounded. She felt extremely unbelievable, even if the whole world was suddenly turned upside down, it would not surprise her more than the current incident - Lu Wei was about to become the vice president of the urban construction company? And did he go to the urban construction company or was recommended by his father? How is this possible? Lu Wei has never known his father!
No, everything is wrong, it must be a dream. Qi Yun stretched out his hand and pinched her thigh, so painful that she grinned her teeth, but she couldn't help but say in a loud voice:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How could it be?" The father asked calmly, "Are you familiar with this Lu Wei?" ”
Qi Yun swallowed the rice on his cheeks with a grunt, and glanced at his father weakly, wanting to see how much his father knew, he was deliberately testing himself? But there was nothing in my father's eyes, but there was nothing but calmness. Qi Yun hurriedly covered up his gaffe:
"It's not very familiar, but we're just classmates...... But I heard that this Lu Wei has a girlfriend...... Well, my girlfriend is also in our class. ”
The mother tapped the plate in front of her with chopsticks, "The girlfriend in college is just a child, and when you graduate, how many will you be separated?" Where is the count? After graduation, you will be an adult, and it is the right thing to find a really suitable one to settle down quickly - but that being said, you are too fast as a classmate to ensure that others do not make irresponsible comments. ”
After the mother finished speaking, she began to eat without any worries. Qi Yun's heart was slightly put into her stomach, at least her mother's appearance, it seems that she has not heard rumors about herself and Lu Wei until now, as for her father? He couldn't figure it out, but listening to his father's tone just now, he didn't have a trace of appreciation for Lu Wei. My father didn't say it himself: What era is it now, and it's not just about origin.
Qi Yun coughed lightly and asked:
"Uncle, I'm just weird, how did you know this Lu Wei? He was a rural kid and didn't talk much to his classmates in class. ”
What Qi Yun said was not a lie, but - Lu Wei did not talk much to his classmates, and the words he said in the four years of college and the classmates combined, I am afraid that he and Qi Yun could not talk as much as he and Qi Yun alone.
"Oh, that's the case," my father said lightly: "Lu Wei was first introduced to me by Zhuomei through her father, saying that the young man used to work in the Audi 4S shop, and his performance was not bad at first, but later because of his straightforward personality, he offended someone, so he had to change his job - it was also a coincidence, a few of us had a meal together, I had a good impression of that young man, it was rare to come out of the countryside, but he was not humble or impetuous, and he was a person who used his eyes more than his tongue at first glance. I happened to have a job opportunity with our counterpart urban construction company, so I introduced him to try it. Unexpectedly, he did a good job as soon as he went. ”
My father said it seamlessly, and Qi Yun also heard for the first time that Lu Wei's performance was good when he worked in the Audi 4S store, but later he was forced to resign because he offended someone - these are all Lu Wei's things, but she must know from others like an irrelevant person! There was a strange feeling in her heart, and she ignored some obvious inconsistencies in her father's words.
The father continued: "Of course, he and Deputy He's daughter fell in love so quickly, and according to Lao He, what else did he want to 'flash marriage', it was not something I could have expected." But what is a thousand miles of marriage? That's it. Maybe I inadvertently pulled him in and introduced him to work in urban construction, just because there was a certain number in the dark, just to achieve this good relationship. ”
Marriage?!
The only two words Qi Yun could think of were: ridiculous! It's not an ordinary absurdity, it's simply a big absurdity. However, she didn't plan to hear any more news from her father, and with his wisdom, it would be tantamount to picking her teeth if she wanted to get news from him without revealing herself. She made up her mind, lowered her head and quickly picked up the rice, put the bowl in three or two clicks, stretched her waist and was about to leave the table:
"I'm full! You eat slowly. ”
"Why are you suddenly urging your life, and you don't have a meal to eat." The mother was dissatisfied.
"Me, I'd like to call Zhuomei for a chat."
"Let's go." Mom didn't watch out and said: "But you still have injuries now, you can avoid going out to play, you will break your muscles and bones for a hundred days, and if you are not careful in these days, you will leave lifelong regrets, do you hear?" ”
"Hey, got it."
Qi Yun agreed, and when he left the restaurant, he rushed into his bedroom in three steps and two steps, grabbed the landline at the head of the bed and dialed Zhuomei's mobile phone number.
After two rings, Zhuomei picked up the phone.
"Qi Yun?" Zhuo Mei asked.
Qi Yun didn't know how to speak, and was silent in embarrassment for a while.
Zhuo Mei noticed it and asked softly:
"Qi Yun, you...... Got it all? ”
Qi Yun's ears buzzed, and it took a long time to answer:
"I ...... What should you know? ”
Zhuo Mei on the other end of the phone was also silent, empty except for the rustling sound of the phone answering. Qi Yun's heart pounded, and he felt that he had crashed into a white and boundless mist; I feel like I'm pressed by a nightmare, terrible to the extreme, ridiculous to the extreme, but I can't wake up anyway.
Qi Yun stretched out his hand and pressed the heart that was beating suddenly in his chest:
"Zhuomei, please do something...... No matter what method you use, you must do me this favor anyway and let me go out for half a day. ”
"No, Qi Yun...... You can't go out right now......"
Takumi's voice seemed to be a very faint pleading, making the whole thing more like a dream.
Qi Yun calmed down for a moment and said categorically:
"It's okay if you don't help. Anyway, my house is only on the third floor, and if you slide down the sewer pipe, you shouldn't be able to die. ”
"Don't do anything stupid!" Zhuo Mei eagerly stopped: "Qi Yun, I'll just help you." But you have to promise me: no matter what happens, don't do anything stupid. All right? ”
"Okay, I promise you."
