Chapter 13: Capturing the Heart
Their song and dance troupe stayed in Baotou for a short time, and then went to Ordos. The fatigue of running all year round and the sharp drop in climate temperature made a young girl unbearable and exhausted. When she woke up early in the morning, she had a high fever and was weak. She was lying alone in the hotel bed, unattended. She called me feebly and told me about her condition, and I urgently asked her for the address of her accommodation. I immediately decided to go to Ordos where she lived to take care of her. I bought the nearest train ticket and rushed to the train station in a hurry, carrying the five hundred dollars I had saved from my teeth. That's all I have at the moment, and I'm leaving school in a week.
I consulted my mother on the way, and I told her that I had a cold and passed on Shen Qian's symptoms to me. I can only take care of people, only to be taken care of by my mother, I can only turn to experienced old people. She told me to take medicine, drink more water, and cover two more quilts to sweat hot. If you really can't do it, you have to go to the hospital for an infusion. My mother was almost about to come to the school to see me, and I said how much money I would lose if the commissary was left unattended, which calmed my mother's anxious feelings. I took the train for more than three hours and arrived at the Ordos railway station at noon. I couldn't find my way, so I couldn't call for another taxi. I hurried to Shen Qian's residence, knocked on the door for a long time, and Shen Qian went down to open the door for me. Her face was pale, her mind was drowsy, and her words did not match her words. She was both touched and surprised to see me, and I helped her back to bed. I put all the clinical quilts on her body and fed her the medicine I bought. After drinking the hot water, she was half asleep, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead. She shivered, and I quickly fetched a basin of hot water and put a hot towel on her. By the evening, she had cleared up a bit, but the fever persisted. I had no choice but to ask the leader of their regiment for leave and take her out for medical treatment. I learned that the troupe had always been taboo about the development of relationships between men and women, and I told the administrator of the troupe that I was her cousin. I draped the clothes I was wearing on Shen Qian, and quickly carried her to the nearest hospital. I will never leave the two bottles of liquid and take care of them. I lamented that it was pitiful that such a young girl who should still be in school had to run around for her life. Life is hard, and everyone has their own difficulties. After the liquid was infusion, the effect was immediate, and Shen Qian woke up and told me that it was strictly forbidden for insiders to go out to stay overnight. Her expression was urgent and anxious, and I didn't have a suitable place to go. I obediently picked up Shen Qian, covered it tightly, and rushed to the group to return to the hotel before ten o'clock in the evening. The troupe has a standard room for two dancers, which saves money and facilitates mutual supervision. At that time, the girl who was dancing in the same room was also there, and I briefly instructed Shen Qian to take medicine and left in a hurry. The hospital outpatient clinic cost me a lot of money, so I found a simple hotel nearby and spent 30 yuan to live in a double bed room, so that I could continue to take care of Shen Qian the next day.
I went to knock on Shen Qian's door early the next morning, but there was no one in the house. I inquired around and found out that Shen Qian had gone to rehearsal with the people in the group early. They returned to the rhythm of the music in the vacant lobby of the hotel......
I waited aside, and I had time to see Shen Qian during the line dance break. Her face was bloody, but her lips were still pale and chapped. The posture she had just danced in, including her limbs, was visibly stiff and inflexible, which was different from usual. I asked her urgently, "Why don't you wait until your illness is completely better before going to rehearsal?" She said helplessly: "The competition in the troupe is too fierce, and I am worried that if I rest for a few more days, my solo dance position will not be guaranteed." "I wanted to touch her face, but with so many people around, there was no need to trouble her. Shen Qian noticed my hesitation, looked at me affectionately and said, "Qin Yuan, you are far away, you have worked hard to make this trip." Thank you so much, I don't even know what to say. It feels so good to be pampered and loved by you. ”
"Akane, let's not say thank you between the two of us. I like you, and I do everything for you willingly. You're still young and physically able to handle it. But what will you do in the future? When do you have to jump to the head? I just feel sorry for you, you're too hard for a girl. ”
Shen Qian thought for a moment and said, "I know that you feel sorry for me, I know it, Qin Yuan." When I won a prize in a national competition and saved enough money, I went back to Hohwa to open my own dance training studio. At that point, I'll be able to live a little easier. ”
I was glad that I should support her whether her dream could come true or not. "I believe in your abilities, and you will. Akane, let's do it together. ”
It can be seen that my encouragement gave Shen Qian a short-term strength, and she turned to say lonely: "The regiment has a meeting in the morning, and tomorrow our regiment will go south again." We've just met again and we're going to be separated, what if I miss you? ”
"Where are you going? I'll definitely take time to visit you, don't worry. How long will you be going this time? ”
"This time we are going to Yunnan, Kunming. They also go to places where ethnic minorities gather to learn about the local customs and culture of various ethnic groups. In order for us to better understand the essence of folk dance. Shen Qian hesitated and said with difficulty: "This time it's too far, we have to reorganize the line dance there, as short as three months or as long as half a year." It makes me sick to think that we have to be separated for so long. Shen Qianqiang pretended to be strong, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but glow with tears.
"Allow me to go back and figure out a way, I'll find a way to visit you, trust me. When I am not by your side, I have my Guanyin to protect you for me. ”
Shen Qian raised her tone and deliberately said to the management next to her: "Cousin, go back, I'm fine here, don't worry." She hugged me in front of everyone, the hug was very tight and short, her cheek pressed to my ear and whispered: "Qin Yuan, I believe in you, I will wait for you." ”
There were tears in my eyes, and they were faintly visible. When the staff in the troupe urged me to continue the rehearsal, I muttered some words to Shen Qian like a woman, paying attention to my body, mostly some basic instructions for daily life to add clothes and drink water. We fell in love in the corridors of the hotel and had to say goodbye.
I sat alone on the train back to Hoh, full of emotion. Shen Qian's attached and affectionate eyes made me unforgettable. My impulsive personality told me I couldn't wait three months. I stood in the smoking area in the corner of the carriage and thought about it, and a solution came to my mind.
