Chapter 35: Palpitations
This scene made Yu Songyuan's blood surge. He picked up a fist-sized brick on the ground, and smashed it at the yellow dog from a distance, hitting the hind leg, the yellow dog was in pain, and screamed wildly, and ran away with a lame leg, which must have been seriously injured. He looked left and right, picked up half a yellow brick, and smashed it into the two vicious dogs on the opposite side that were about to flee into the dense forest. Although they didn't hit, the two vicious dogs fled in a hurry.
Lin Xue was still squatting on the bridge, holding her head, covering her ears, closing her eyes, and crying like a heart-rending scream.
Yu Songyuan rushed to the bridge and hugged the girl tightly in his arms as if he were holding the frightened Yu Ya, Yu Xiaohui, Chen Jing or Yu Xiaohong. Lin Xue was obviously frightened, still crying with her eyes closed. He hugged her tightly and kept patting her on the back and comforting: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, you see, the vicious dog has been beaten away by me." ”
Lin Xue opened her eyes when she heard his voice and stopped crying, but her eyes were still full of fear, timidity, sluggishness, and dazedness.
Yu Songyuan's heart ached for a while, she wouldn't be stupid.
I hugged her like this, and after a long while, she finally came to her senses, but her face was still pale and white, without a trace of blood. Finally, she broke free of his embrace and whispered, "I'm all right, xiexie you." ”
"If you don't dare to leave alone, why do you come back in the middle?" Yu Songyuan asked.
Lin Xue said: "I was in a hurry in the morning, why did I forget to take the "Cropping Report" of the statistics of haode that night. I wanted to run back and get it and run back, who wants to ......"
It turned out that when Lin Xue ran to the bridge deck, she happened to see two dogs walking out of the woods opposite, standing on the road and watching her. She was so frightened that she wanted to go back. Unexpectedly, a dog appeared behind her, and the retreat was also blocked, and the more she shouted the dog to leave, the more the dogs watched her not move. The more timid she is, the more majestic the earth dog becomes. After more than half an hour of stalemate like this, she collapsed with great fear.
Yu Songyuan was a little annoyed, "This doesn't work, this doesn't work, you're scared to death." If you need to come back, you can come to the cram school to find me, and I will accompany you back to be fine. ”
Lin Xue whispered, "I'm embarrassed." ”
"We are neighbors, what did your master say, she entrusted me to take care of you. Besides, it's only a matter of ten minutes, what's so embarrassing about that. You haven't thought about it, you're going to have an accident, can I get out of it? I'm done, we're grasshoppers on a vine. Let's decide, in the future, if you need to come back in the middle, you will go to me. Cram school is different from other classes, it is relatively relaxed, do you understand? ”
She said, "That xiexie you." Brother Yu, what are you doing back? ”
"I'm here to get the information. What would you have done if I hadn't come back today? ”
Then she whispered, "I don't know, I thought I was going to die today." ”
Yu Songyuan walked back with her, and he saw that although she was grateful for his rescue, she still maintained a certain degree of wariness against him. So as he walked, he said, "I have three younger sisters who are the same age as you, and I also have three very cute little nieces. I'll treat you like my sister or my little nieces, and don't always guard against me, making me feel like I'm a bad person. ”
Lin Xue defended in vain, "How can I have it." ”
Yu Songyuan saw that she was very unconfident, so he admonished again: "I am serious, something like today, I am afraid when I think about it, and I will never allow it to appear again in the future." In the future, if a person does not dare to do something, you will call me. I mean, things like going to the toilet at night, you get the idea? ”
Seeing Lin Xue blushing and lowering his little head, he hurriedly comforted him and said, "I'm talking a little heavier, I'm afraid that something will happen." You say, just the two of us live in this wilderness, you are a child and I am an adult, if something happens to you, I will be affected by it, not to mention, I will be uneasy for the rest of my life. Do you understand? ”
“……”
"Besides, we are all the people at the bottom who are extremely poor, and we have to straighten our backs and live hard. You are a regular worker with a household registration in the town, and the school is so big, there is no place for a female worker to live. I'm the same, I'm a student anyway, and I'm better at studying than those people, and the school is so big that it can't fit me in a bed. The more others look down on you, the more you have to live well, have fewer accidents, and live with dignity. Since I was a child, I have taught my grandmothers, parents, masters, masters, and aunts, and they have always taught me this, 'No matter how poor you are, you must live as a person!' ’”
Lin Xue straightened her waist and nodded solemnly.
This incident really scared Yu Songyuan a lot.
Since then, every night before going to bed, there will be a strange scene. He would tat her door and say, "Go to the bathroom, I'm going to sleep." Lin Xue would walk out of the room with a flashlight, and Yu Songyuan and the general would accompany her to stand not far from the toilet door. When she finished going to the toilet, he sent her to the door, and only when she closed the door did he go back to sleep.
Sometimes, when she was about to enter the door, he would tell her, "If you want to go to the toilet at night, you knock on this wall in the middle, and I will get up and accompany you, do you hear?"
She said, "I heard you, Xiexie, your big brother Yu." ”
It was getting colder and colder, and there were two heavy snowfalls, and the earth was covered with silver and white.
One night, the snow stopped, but the wind was so strong that it hit my face like a knife. The trees on the embankment were whistling and hissing incessantly. Before going to bed at night, Yu Songyuan accompanied her to the toilet, and the general followed carelessly. Outside the toilet, Yu Songyuan and the general stood in the tuyere and let her go into the toilet alone.
Who knows, as soon as she walked into the women's toilet, it was as if she was on fire, "Mom" screamed, quickly escaped, and slapped into Yu Songyuan's arms. A white cat let out a "squeak" at the same time as her, rushed out of the toilet almost at the same time, and ran away.
Yu Songyuan patted her on the back and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's nothing, it's just a wild cat." He said to the general, "General, catch it." ”
The general immediately galloped away. After a while, he slowly ran back with the back of a big white cat begging for mercy in his mouth.
Yu Songyuan was still patting her on the back and said, "Don't be afraid, what do you see the general has caught?" ”
Only then did she dare to look back, only to see that the general was holding the big white cat, and at this moment, the big white cat was "meowing" and begging hard.
Lin Xue was shocked, leaving Yu Songyuan's embrace, and still said with palpitations: "Damn it, why is it running to the toilet, I stepped on it, it was soft, and it was still struggling to move, and I was really scared away." ”
Yu Songyuan said to the general: "Let it go." As soon as the general relented, the white cat immediately fled into the darkness.
Yu Songyuan teased her: "This must be a female cat, you see that the general never goes into the women's toilet." This female cat may have just finished using the toilet and you stepped on it, and she scared you to death. Then, let the general catch it to show the public, you say how unlucky and wronged it is. ”
Lin Xue snorted and was amused.
In fact, Lin Xue's fear of the "haunted house" made her dare not stay alone in the dormitory even during the day. On weekends, sometimes when Yu Songyuan needed to go out, he would tell her that she would sometimes follow him to the streets, but never buy anything.
She sat in the back of Yu Songyuan's car, and Yu Songyuan often felt the same as taking Yu Ya, Xiaohui or Chen Jing for a ride at home. Sometimes, she would go to the communication room of the school-run textile factory or the school's communication room to read the newspaper and pass the time. Only when he returned, he went to the communication room to pick her up.
Yu Songyuan slowly felt that although she was gradually trusting him, she was no longer as alert to him as she had been in the past. But for him, there is still vigilance. In particular, she hates dogs, does not like generals, is highly wary of it, and even extremely disgusted. But the general likes to tease her, sometimes when she goes to the toilet at night, the general follows Yu Songyuan to accompany her to the toilet, she always clutches Yu Songyuan's clothes, deliberately avoiding the general.
On the contrary, the general was constantly snubbed by her, and would cheekily circle around her, or take the initiative to rub her clothes to show favor, and she was so frightened that she simply stood still and closed her eyes. The general would show an inexplicable look, looking at Yu Songyuan with a pair of confused eyes. The meaning is clear: "What the hell happened to her?" Be all abroad! ”
Yu Songyuan repeatedly told her: "The general is different from those local earth dogs and wild dogs, he is very friendly to familiar people, he can protect you, you have to try to accept it slowly." ”
Although she repeatedly said, "Haodehaode, I'll try it." But when the general took the initiative to show her favor again, she would still express strong disgust and resistance, which made the general in a dilemma.
Another weekend, Yu Songyuan washed clothes in front of the pool, and the general had fun alone in front of the door.
Lin Xue was wearing fat school-run factory work clothes, wearing the kind of suede cowhide yellow cotton shoes that workers often wear, and she also timidly carried a basin to wash clothes. Usually, she covers her head tightly with a hat that matches her work clothes, but today, the hat is also washed, revealing a lively and playful ponytail that swings from side to side.
The general ran to her side flatteringly, she was so frightened that she screamed, her voice was terrible, her face was pale, her hands were on her chest, and the basin was thrown on the concrete floor, making a loud "bang", and the clothes inside were scattered all over the ground.
The general obviously felt that he was scaring the girl, and sat there apologetically, looking at Yu Songyuan for a while, and tilting his head to look at the girl in a friendly and mischievous manner. That means saying, "I really didn't mean to. ”
Yu Song saw that Lin Xue was frightened, and immediately rushed over, wiped the water off her body with both hands, stroked her head, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay, this dog will definitely not bite its own people." ”
Lin Xue said with palpitations: "Why didn't it prepare at all, so it suddenly rushed over, scared me to death." ”
Yu Songyuan said: "I'm worried to death." You can't go on like this, the knot in your heart must be untied today, and it can't be delayed any longer. ”
She cried and said, "I tried, but I was really afraid of it." Can you please stop pushing me, can't I get used to it? ”
Yu Songyuan patted her on the shoulder, then walked up to the general and squatted down, stroked the general's head with his hand, and said to her:
"Do you forget to be afraid, what are you afraid of when I'm here? You listen to me, this is not an ordinary dog, this is a German Shepherd with a high value and a pure blood, it is a military dog. It is absolutely friendly and loyal to its own people and comrades-in-arms, and dares to fight for its life against the enemy, not hesitating to shed blood and sacrifice. She can understand human language, interact well with her comrades, and cooperate with each other. It is very disciplined, it prohibits, and it will not be greedy for food that it is not sure of, no matter how delicious it is. ”
Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Yu Songyuan changed his mind, "Look, it did something wrong just now, it's sad, and now it's asking you daoqian, you just need to look into its eyes and say, 'It's okay', and it will be happy." Don't be afraid, try it now. ”
Lin Xue was very curious: "You blew it, it's so mysterious, so godly?" No wonder it never screams." She walked up to the general, lowered her head and said, "It's okay just now, I'm too cowardly, I don't blame you." ”
The general stood up happily and rubbed his head against her cotton trouser leg to apologize again. It was evident that it liked the little girl, and kept circling around her, with a cheerful look in its eyes.
