The students were no longer visible outside the car window, but we were presented with a completely different world, a miserable world bound by the turmoil of the times.

I've never seen a house so dilapidated, not even a "house", the fragile walls look overwhelmed, and seem to collapse with a "boom" at any moment. The eaves are so low, and a little taller figure will inevitably bow their heads from time to time to "salute". Because the dark room is not ventilated and lacks sunlight, it is often accompanied by a variety of complex and unpleasant smells, and after living for a long time, it seems that even the texture of the skin is permeated with various smells, and it is inevitable to have an innate sense of humility when you see the living. There are also those children who play outside the house without clothes, and it is not clear whether they will grow up to be adults, and many of them die early in poverty and illness. Even the lucky ones who survive will struggle in the quagmire of life for the rest of their lives, living a difficult and difficult life......

I don't know if I was nervous, but it seemed like I was seeping into the closed car window with a weird, unbearable smell. My eyes were a little sour, as if it was the strong pungent smell, and in order to hide this embarrassment, I habitually pinned my head to the side: "Well, it looks like this is a slum." ”

Cao Yu'an's voice was not high, but it was very clear in the narrow carriage, what he said was: "Is it the first time Miss Zhu has seen a slum?" Have you never thought that there are people in the world who live so badly? However, it would be a mistake to assume that this is the most tragic situation. Because in Shanghai, there are countless people who are more miserable than them, they still have a tile to shelter from the rain, and more people ......"

For some reason, his smile seemed sarcastic to me. Listening to the meaning of his words, I felt that every word was directed at my sore spot. For all these years, I have lived in a glass enclosure painstakingly built by my parents, believing that I am first-class and can control my own life. But I didn't expect that once it came to reality, all this would become a soap bubble, which would burst at the touch of a button. I gritted my teeth hatefully and said, "I naturally know the scene of troubled times, starving all over the wilderness, selling children and girls. Does Mr. Cao have a different opinion, I will listen here. ”

Cao Yu'an's fierce reaction to me was to laugh at it: "Miss Zhu is afraid that she has misunderstood my words, I don't want to point out that you are shallow, nor do I want to highlight that you are well-informed, but every time I see such a scene, I can't help but sigh in my heart." If it weren't for these two years of experience, I would have thought that everything in this new world would be as beautiful as in a fairy tale. Now I finally understand that I can't change the world with my own hands alone, but even if the future is slim, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I must give it a try. He said it very seriously and firmly, not only me, but even the eldest brother and second brother on the side couldn't help but be moved. But he never thought that after he finished saying some beautiful words of compassion, he suddenly changed to a playful smile: "Haha, you see what I said from the book has frightened everyone." ”

I looked at the blue sky above me speechlessly, until Cao Yu'an walked into the small two-story western-style building in the distance with the frightened Miss Takahashi, and still could not recover from the huge shock.

I don't know if it's because of the bumps along the way or because the impact on my soul is too strong, but when I got home, I didn't feel very good. The throat was dry and tinged with a hint of blood, and the headache was as if it was about to explode at any moment. I asked my mother for an aspirin, and I collapsed in bed.

When I was sick and dazed, I felt something cold on my forehead, and the discomfort caused by the rise in body temperature immediately lessened a lot. I opened my eyes forcefully and adjusted the focus, and in front of me was the face of a strange man in his thirties. The owner of the face should be very thin, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his tall and straight nose, and the aura of the whole person is more like a gentle and affectionate poet.

His voice was low and soft: "Miss Seventh is afraid that she has a serious cold, if this heat does not subside, I am afraid that there will be a big problem." ”

The mother's voice was full of worry: "Zhongping, what do you think this should do?" ”

The man's voice, whom his mother called "Zhongping", was still unhurried: "I'll give her a fever-reducing injection first, and then hang her with saline for a few days, and there should be no problem."

Mother and his voice faded down, followed by an increasingly blurred consciousness and fragmented dreams. My father seems to have joined in, but I don't remember exactly.

Three days later, I was truly awake, my aching limbs finally returned to their places, and my vegetable-colored face was back to normal. The little girl, Shui Qing, ran in mysteriously and told me that the man named Zhongping was surnamed Shen, and it looked like he was going to stay in our house for a few days, and he would not be able to move out until the dormitory arranged for him by Renji Hospital was renovated.

There was an inexplicable little joy in my heart: "I haven't had any interesting guests at home for a long time, and now it's going to be lively for a while." “

Shui Qing also developed a straightforward temperament under my free-range training: "Yes, I heard that Mr. Shen came back from studying at Cambridge University in Great Britain, and he looks like a talent and has a very gentle personality." ”

I warned her inwardly: "If my grandfather hears this kind of thing, maybe he will give you a barbecue of bamboo shoots to eat." ”

Shui Qing stuck out his tongue and said confidently: "Miss, you can think like this, and no one else is allowed to say it." He looked at me defiantly, and after getting a look at me, he smiled to himself.

Shui Qing was about to release the gossip she had gotten, but she heard the voice of Lao Xu, the housekeeper downstairs. She had to end the topic stupidly, and when she walked to the door, she suddenly said as if she remembered something: "By the way, Miss Lin brought a Mr. Cao to you, saying that you have done a great favor and want to come to the door to thank you in person." The third lady told them that you were going to stay in bed, and they were very disappointed. I can almost imagine Mislin's expression at the time, it must have been worried and disappointed, and I couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in my heart.

Before lunch, Shen Zhongping came to give me a final examination, and the results made him very satisfied: "Miss Seventh has strong muscles and bones, and her body has fully recovered. When he said this, he had a sincere smile on his face, just like he did for each patient, giving all his sincerity, which is the spiritual essence of a healer.
