Fang Ruo has never liked the bottomless darkness, she went to kindergarten when she was a child, she always sat in the classroom after school and waited for her mother to pick her up, and every day after school was left a few current classmates, then the teacher would show them the "Gourd Baby" cartoon to watch, among the seven gourd babies, her favorite is the orange baby, it has clairvoyance and tailwind ears, it can see the ghost snake demon in the green snake cave in advance, and can hear their bad ideas.

The green snake cave is dark, blocked, filthy, and dark for a long time, and it does not see the light of day, and the snake demons and goblins who live in this environment are ruthless, and always try their best to lay a trap to let the gourd baby brothers get into danger.

Young Fang Ruo felt that they were very bad and infuriating, she hated such evil and dirty, and that's it, her heart always longed for light, blue sky and white sun, dazzling light.

Some time ago, the resident downstairs of her house was admitted to the hospital due to a leg injury, on the grounds that he had some disputes with the urban management staff about the location of the small vegetable stall where he made a living, and he felt aggrieved and said a few more words, and the next day on the way home, he was inexplicably surrounded by a group of ruffians and broke his leg.

Poor man, diligent on weekdays, get up early and sell vegetables greedily, his wife is not in a good mental state, always smirk at people and say some vague words, there are two children at home who are waiting to be fed, he is the pillar of the family, all the burdens of the family are on him, but he fell down like this, I heard that he was distressed by the high medical expenses, and refused to live for two days, and now he is recuperating at home, I don't know when he will get better.

Fang Ruo learned about this incident at the dinner table during a conversation with his parents, "This must be the bad guy found by the city management to beat him, why don't you go to the city government to sue them!" She said indignantly, remembering that the honest uncle downstairs would always bring some fresh vegetables to their family, and her mother would let her go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and when she went to buy vegetables from his stall, he would also wipe a small change or give her a few more chives and garlic.

Seeing her indignant, after her parents met their eyes, Fang Ruo's mother said in a helpless tone: "How can you sue the government department, it's useless, it's all one ring to cover up the other, who will care about the life and death of ordinary people, it can only be said that he is too unlucky and hit the muzzle." ”

"Why not, isn't our society fair and just?" Fang Ruo remembered the content of the political books she had studied, governing the country according to law, serving the people, and being people-centered, all of which made her have great expectations for society.

"You're still young, you don't understand this, society is very complicated." Fang Ruo's father took a bite of fish meat and put it in his mouth, and after chewing, he twisted a big thorn out of his hand from between his teeth.

"Alas, what a poor man, it's not easy to give him some eggs and ribs from home when I visit him later." Fang Ruo's mother shook her head, picked up the bowl in her hand and took a sip of loofah soup, which made a noise.

"Can you call the government?" Fang Ruo still felt that he did not give up, and the awe-inspiring righteousness surged into his heart, if the complaint did not work, there was always a way, petitioning, calling to report, looking for newspaper reporters... She remembered all the ways to ask for help in the political books.

Fang Ruo's mother frowned and put down the bowl in her hand with some anger, and the bottom of the porcelain bowl slammed against the wooden dining table, making a dull sound.

"It's not something you can manage, read your book well, don't be idle here and make trouble for me, don't forget, your father is still a civil servant, and he wants to eat the country's food, if he loses his job, I will see what you will eat in the future, do you want to beg?"

Fang Ruo was dumbfounded for a while after hearing this, she quietly glanced at her father opposite, his face was also dark and solemn.

She didn't bother anymore and finished the meal as if it were chewing wax.

Everyone is as cheap as ants, "patience", "acceptance", "habit" three words mantra, seems to be the tacit law between adults, young and frivolous we seem to have felt that we can save the world, can change the society by their own strength, so standing on the commanding height of human nature to judge and discuss the unfortunate things of others, mourn their misfortune, anger their indisputable.

But if someone chuckles and asks, "Who do you think you are?" What can you do? A basin of cold water was poured down, and after calming down, I only felt ashamed of being forced to ask, but I still replied unadmittedly: "Yes, I can't do anything now, I can do it when I grow up." ”

Waiting to grow up, looking forward to growing up, and swearing that when we grow up, we can stretch our childhood ambitions that we couldn't achieve, but when we grow up, we just go along with life, become a worldly adult, and become the image that we didn't like the most when we were children.

Young Fang Ruo still couldn't extinguish the awe-inspiring righteousness burning in her heart, she still wrote an anonymous letter and sent it to the local government law enforcement department after thinking about it for a while, and the moment the postmarked envelope was dropped into the mailbox, she felt that she was the god who hung the pot to help the world, and was about to save a down-and-out lost person.

Of course, this letter finally sank into the sea, did not stir up the slightest splash, the imaginary time to redress the uncle's grievances downstairs did not come, she had already thought about it when she sent the letter, if her father's work was affected, she would explain to the leader well, this is her own idea, don't implicate her family, it's a big deal that she will go to work-study and work while studying, so that she can also support herself.

If she succeeds, then she doesn't want any thanks, and she doesn't want to be famous because she chooses to be anonymous, for the sake of that upright light and justice. But all this speculation did not happen, and she wondered if her letter had not been sent, and after going to the post office to ask repeatedly, the young aunt in uniform explained to her in a gentle tone that it must have been sent and delivered.

Fang Ruo's letter was like the last sporadic flame in the candlelight, stubbornly flickering twice with a faint light, and finally disappeared into a dark night.

I can't see it, it's in the darkness again, there is a voice ringing in my ears, there seem to be a lot of people around, cold sweat is still oozing on my back, as if someone outside is calling her name, she wants to get out quickly, how to step out, she can't see anything, all in front of her is swallowing darkness.

There are no doors, no windows, nothing, when she was looking, suddenly a kerosene lamp appeared on the wall not far away, she stepped forward, just got it, wanted to take a good look, the kerosene lamp in her hand suddenly turned into a big python spitting letters, open its bloody mouth to bite her...

"Ah, help! Fang Ruo was so frightened that she woke up suddenly, and found herself lying on the hospital bed, sweat on her forehead, and the incandescent light of Bai Huahua was facing her eyes, which was very dazzling.

"Wake up, don't be afraid, you're fine." The female doctor in the infirmary saw that she had woken up, and walked up with a stethoscope to listen to her heartbeat, and the stethoscope reached into her clothes, and the cold feeling of the machine made her shiver suddenly, and then she felt that her head was also clear.

"Fang Ruo, are you okay? You fainted in the Great Hall just now, and it scares us all stupid. Zheng Yuqian leaned over and held her hand.

"I... What's wrong? Fang Ruo only remembered that she was going to buy water to drink, thinking of this, she unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but the feeling of thirst at that time was gone, it seemed that she should have drunk water just now.

"You're suffering from heat stroke, you're stupid, and you have to ask the teacher for leave when you're not feeling well, and you're still carrying it." Xu Zhuoyuan said as he stepped into the infirmary, carrying a bag in his hand, which contained several bottles of water and a few packets of snacks.

Fang Ruo looked at him with a face full of worry, and looked at himself with a straight face and some anger, only feeling a little funny.

"Aren't you having a meeting, you're all here with me."

"Drag your blessing, we don't have to have a meeting, and the afternoon has been changed to a self-study class." Xu Zhuoyuan sat on the edge of her bed, unscrewed the cap of a bottle of water, and reached out to hand it to her.

Fang Ruo sat up against the pillow, took the water from his hand, and took a few sips.

"Then I'll go first, Fang Ruo, you're fine." Fang Ruo noticed Chen Zifan behind the screen, he hadn't made a sound just now, so she hadn't noticed him.

"Oh, okay, thank you." Fang Ruo smiled softly at his concern.

"Ahem, what are you doing, everyone is gone." Xu Zhuoyuan looked at her distracted and a little jealous, the soles of his feet rubbed against the ground, and he made a "bang" sound irritably.

"Didn't see anything." Fang Ruo was actually just in a daze, she couldn't figure out how she came here, the infirmary was a few hundred meters away from the auditorium, and she had to go through a steep slope, what was going on?

"How did I get here, I can't have come here by myself." She voiced the doubts in her heart.

Zheng Yuqian next to her sneered and laughed, and said: "You weren't aware at the time, of course you didn't come by yourself, it was Chen Zifan who carried you over, and coincidentally, he was behind you when you fainted." ”

Fang Ruo had no impression at all, he only remembered that he didn't know anything when it was dark in front of him.

"Do you have a snack, I bought your favorite pastry, mung bean cake."

Xu Zhuoyuan took out the mung bean cake in the yellow carton from the bag as he spoke, he wanted them to end the topic quickly, when Fang Ruo fainted, he was too far away from her, and when he heard that a girl in class five fainted, he felt that something was wrong, thinking that it would not be her, so he ran over and asked the classmates in their class, but it turned out to be really her, rushed out to take a look, and only saw the back of Chen Zifan running towards the infirmary with her on his back, which made him very annoyed.

"I don't want to eat now, I don't have an appetite, you can eat, I feel like I'm almost better, and I can go back to the classroom." Fang Ruo felt that after resting for a while, his body was also energetic, and it was not good to always lie here.

After finding a doctor and getting a box of medicine to relieve the heat, several people walked slowly in the direction of the teaching building.

"Is Fang Ruo better?" As soon as they walked downstairs, they happened to meet the head teacher who wanted to go to the infirmary to see her, and this happened in front of all the teachers and students at the beginning of the school year, and the head teacher was also scared.

Fang Ruo nodded shyly at her, and responded in a low voice: "I'm fine, thank you teacher for your concern." ”

The head teacher breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, hugged her and walked upstairs, and told her to pay more attention to her body as she walked, and her tone was very gentle.

When Fang Ruo returned to class, her classmates also came up to care about her situation, and suddenly she was cared about by many people, she felt very embarrassed, and thanked her one by one with a red face.

After school, Fang Ruo was waiting for the bus at the bus stop and saw a familiar figure, "Chen Zifan, thank you for carrying me to the infirmary today." Fang Ruo walked up to him and said very sincerely.

"You're welcome, it's all trivial, remember to drink medicine to cool off when you go back." Chen Zifan smiled.

Seeing that his bus was coming, Chen Zifan waved goodbye to her, and greeted the sunset, the bus drove slowly, carrying the young man's vigorous Mingdong's thoughts, and slowly drove into the distance.
