Chapter III: Institute of Agricultural Sciences
The crocodile is gone, but the man has been saved.
The willow trees by the lake, the birds chirping in the empty mountains, and the breeze blowing.
The mother and the two boys for the rest of their lives, seeing each other again, as if they were separated from each other, remembering that they had just fought desperately to save each other, only to know that their lives would pass away at any time, and they knew that they were precious, and they showed their true feelings for a while, hugged each other and cried, and these three people were destined to be inseparable from life and death in the future.
After being excited, I remembered the life-saving benefactor But seeing her standing on the side, holding the small box in her hand, pointing to the leg injury of the three of them, she was not very good at speaking, so she used gestures.
The mother hurriedly stood up, she just knelt and hugged her two sons, and now she looked down according to her gesture, three people, or thighs or calves were bitten, the mother's trouser legs were torn, and the broken places exposed light brown round legs, working and walking in the mountains all year round, very fit and strong, no wonder it could last so long.
The mother looked down and saw that the leg above her knee was very deeply injured, struggling desperately in the crocodile's mouth, the skin and flesh were torn and turned out, and it seemed to begin to rot, dripping with thick yellow water, fortunately she didn't bite the artery, otherwise she would have died, the blood around the wound had been swept away by the lake, leaving only some vague traces, but she immediately changed her expression and panicked, such a serious wound, how could she not feel pain, was this part of the nerve bitten off, is the crocodile's saliva poisonous, the mother didn't care about herself, and hurriedly went to check the wounds of her two sons.
The woman grabbed her, shook her head, pointed to the box, and told them to sit down, next to which was a small piece of dry land under the roadbed, the rain had long since stopped, and the roadbed was drying quickly.
The mother sat down and looked at the clear water in front of her. The woman couldn't help but smile. Heads of the Devil. The meaning is very clear, don't worry, the crocodile will not come, the mother smiled embarrassedly and sat down with the two sons nervously.
The woman opened the box, and it was a strange dark blue metal, which looked light, but it was absolutely strong, a sense of solidity that could not be smashed with a hammer. The three of them stared, and felt very strange when they saw the box open silently by itself, and an indescribable fragrance came out, not wafting over, giving people the feeling that it was frozen there, the three of them opened their mouths wide, and the woman used her index finger as if she had dug out a large piece of it, green, lowered her head and sniffed it, squatted down, and wiped it on the wound of the dumb child's calf, and then dug out a large piece from the box in turn and wiped it on the wounds of the big boy and the mother, it seemed that the contents of the box were dug up for her without regret, and she did not look at the boxWith a flick of his hand, the box the size of a cigarette closed itself in the air and fell into the lake in a beautiful arc, and the box staggered and sank, unable to let humans get it.
The big boy was stunned, he wanted to put earthworms in the box, he was still thinking about fishing, it was really fun, he stared at the place where the box sank, and then fished it up, the woman looked at him, smiled, and said a little proudly:"
"It's melting, it's not going to be caught," the big boy scratched his head, as he saw through his thoughts.
Besides, the dumb boy forgot about his leg injury when he was excited just now, he was the most seriously injured, tender skin and tender flesh, maybe he didn't feel pain like his mother, but as soon as he touched that thing, he immediately felt a little burning and stinging, and he couldn't help but cry out "ah", he screamed so exaggeratedly, and he didn't feel embarrassed, the woman couldn't help but laugh, squinting at him, but for a while, he felt very comfortable, just like his mother smeared baby skin cream on him after a summer shower, cool and smooth, he looked down, the terrible wound flesh closed quickly with a slight wriggling, As smooth as if he had not been injured, without even a streak, he stood up in amazement, jumping and touching, and his face was radiant.
The woman was astonished, and so did she and her eldest son, who had never seen anyone so spirited. Thinking of her posture of killing the crocodile with high and low force just now, and now the wound that has been healed, I can't help but be a little afraid of her strength, and I wanted to invite her to her house to sit down, but at this time, I only stammered when I looked at her:
"Thank you."
The woman nodded gracefully.
Only then did I feel that the woman looked a little different.
The slender face, the complexion, the excessively long eyes, the narrow nose, the thin eyebrows, the limbs are too long, but every move, slow and graceful, the shiny black hair is tied in a bun, and the black ribbon of the net floats behind the head.
Mountain people? City? (She went to college) how can she be so elegant, where does this person come from, where is she going!
Just now, I was still afraid of her power and my origin, but looking at her smile, she suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, that is, she trusted her incomparably.
The mountains are straightforward, and people must ask questions when they have questions:
"Where are you going?"
I was going to ask where you came from and where you were going, but she had a gut feeling that she would know what she was going to ask.
"'Don't ask me where I'm from, my hometown is far away,'" this is a lyric, the woman smiled and said, this smile contains a clear meaning, it turns out that you can guess I know what you mean, no wonder the 200 million-year-old crocodile can't get you, it's so smart, but I'm not a crocodile, but she still smiled so much and answered the question behind her:
"Go there," she said, pointing diagonally into the distance, "It's the white building."
United Nations Institute for Agricultural Research! The people of the UN! A foreigner? No, there were foreigners there, men and women of all colors were in a hurry, they didn't stop on the road, cars didn't stop, and the sound of helicopters could be heard late at night, but she suddenly understood her intentions, she came to understand the situation, and the hand in the crocodile's belly, but it was certainly not about the seeds, but she didn't say it, she couldn't ask, but she itched and said:
"It's not season yet," the subtext of that sentence is, it's not yet the season to change seeds, what are you going to do there?
"It's the season," the woman said with a smile, not telling you clearly.
The woman understood, forget it, I won't fight you. However, she saved the mother and son, and she said sincerely:
"Thank you so much for saving us."
"No, it was the true feelings of your mother and son that moved me, so I came to the rescue, don't care, please go back."
Although she is both elegant and close, but has the intention of saying goodbye, and it is inappropriate to talk to her again, but thinking that she saved the life of their family, no one even knows what the other party's name is, so how to do it, receive the grace of dripping water, and should repay it with a spring, the ancient precept is so, although I don't know where to go, but if I know her name, the future will be long, and one day I can repay the grace of this mountain, and I can also pray for her, wish her a blessing, and hope that she is safe.
So he said:
"I'm really sorry, please tell me your name, and I will report the grace of saving each other in the future!"
The woman was stunned, if she knew the truth about my coming, would she still repay her, it was possible to kill me, after a pause, she still smiled:
"Call me Sasha."
At this time, the mountain wind blew, and the willows on the shore "rustled".
The mother was stunned, so coincidentally, as soon as she said "rustling", the willow tree rattled, this place is close to Tibet, extremely devout to nature, thought, is this a good sign, she looked at the willow tree, looked at the rustle, pulled the two sons to stand side by side, put their hands on their chests, bowed to her slightly, and said with a sincere and supreme courtesy:
"It's windy in the mountains, please take care."
said that he disappeared with his two sons.
United Nations Yunnan Agricultural Research Institute, two black iron barricades, the fence is welded with the kind of elegant curved vines and leaves in heaven, the top of the square cement pillars on both sides of the door, each has a black metal frame with a glass cover of the palace lamp, the door post is on both sides of the uneven mountain stone made of more than one person high wall, the wall is crawling with moss and creepers, it looks like the wall is dark green, but you can still see that the mountain stone inside has weathered, exuding the sad lingering atmosphere of disappearing years.
Inside the stone pillar on the right is a herringbone hut, that is, the duty room. When he came out alone and walked outside the gate, he was really a black cat sheriff, with a black hat, a black uniform, black leather shoes, a black plastic stick, a white belt, and badly, his clothes and hats—in short, everything that could wrinkle on his body was crumpled, as if there was no woman in the house to take care of him, he yawned, stretched his waist, and looked like he was on night duty early in the morning.
In fact, he is a person who studied philosophy after graduating from the philosophy department of a well-known foreign university. Studying philosophy, where to find a job, money does not understand, agriculture does not understand, industry does not understand, business does not understand, that is to say, I don't understand anything, graduated, it is difficult to find a job, my father is old, he needs his help in the field, money has allowed him to go to college, what else is there to go to graduate school, what is more strange is that he just came back here to recruit, he needs a security guard who understands English, the foreign recruiter asked in a foreign language, he came to a straight answer, when the salary was paid, he understood, it was higher than the salary of the Dayu City Bank, which was issued according to the United Nations standard, There is also a business trip allowance, and my father is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, and it is still useful to read, regardless of what books he has. It's just that it's too boring here, I can't see a person all day long, the valleys, fields, and roads are quiet, so the university education plays a role, and in the boredom, he keeps thinking about a system in philosophy that he doesn't understand, that is, Hegel's idealistic system, which is based on "reality is the shadow of ideas", and "reality" is the shadow of "ideas"? How can something that is seen become a shadow of something that cannot be seen? Existentialism is very easy to understand, "reality, like a cup there, it is it, I am me" (existentialist philosopher Sartre), it is difficult to understand existentialism and then understand idealism, he always uses existentialism to understand idealism, how can this be done, he is like an old hen trapped in a fence, always walking on the fence on the side, unable to find the door, never able to get out.
Seeing that he is working hard, he is just a little crazy, and the people inside understand very well, this is a study of philosophy, even if it is a former friend and an old acquaintance, hearing that he is studying philosophy, they all have the same expression, hehe, smiled, and then touched the back of his head and left.
However, the philosophical student was also inspired, and he gave this big iron door a very philosophical name:
"The Gate of Life".
However, no one knows his true identity, and if he knows, he will touch the back of his head.
Go out, as usual, stand in front of the big iron gate, and look at the empty valleys, mountains and forests; He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and the fresh air he inhaled looked like he was enjoying it, and then he slowly exhaled it, which he called the Lung Cleansing Exercise, and he smoked as much as he was bored, and there was always a cigarette in his mouth.
He did this a few times, opened his eyes, because he had been closed for a long time, his eyes were a little blurry, this he was familiar with, but there was a person in this blur, this was unfamiliar, a little strange, it was a person in his head, or a person in reality, he was philosophically ill again, but he must have slept for a while, and his brain was awake, so he took another look, so he fixed his mind and looked, and sure enough, there was a person in the valley.
He was bored, it was difficult for anything to change in this quiet and remote valley, even if it was a grass or a tree, it was very dull, because there was no winter or summer in this place next to the Tropic of Capricorn, and the temperature was at this point all year round, so they would neither move nor lose their leaves, and the result of this kind of non-change, he could see it thoroughly, and now a person suddenly appeared, naturally fresh, so he stared.
This black asphalt road, high and abrupt in the middle of the paddy field and the small lake, the asphalt center of the white line is walking a person in red clothes and green skirts, wearing a hat, holding an umbrella, carrying a small basket, the hem of the clothes is silver piping, the red ribbon that ties the hat and the black ribbon that nets the bun are slanted back in the wind, it is so beautiful, he was stunned, because she walked on the white line in the center, like a clothing model walking on the catwalk, the crotch is slightly swinging, and the step is elegant.
He opened his mouth wide in excitement, when would he be able to see this beautiful scenery.
In fact, he was far away, and he was under the blue sky and white clouds, and of course she was beautiful walking there.
Now he doesn't have to be embarrassed, he looks at it as much as he wants, but he doesn't know how her face is, when a man sees a woman with a good posture, he especially wants to see her face, as long as he doesn't have a slanted mouth and crooked eyes, it is a goose egg face or melon seed face of a thin melon, and it is not too embarrassing.
But he quickly came back to his senses, this is the end of the road, what is she doing here, it is already out of season, and it is crowded with people when it is changed, but it will be deserted in a few days.
He got serious.
