Chapter 132: Human life is like a crucian carp
When we got back to our dorms, some of them had already woken up, and it must have been five o'clock in the morning.
Jiefeixiang and I fell asleep. We were really sleepy.
When we woke up, it was already nine o'clock, and we hurriedly ran to the classroom. After sitting in my seat, I first passed a note to Xiang Jianjun: Did you have a hallucination last night?
Xiang Jianjun replied: No.
I replied: That's why I say you're actually an illusion.
Xiang Jianjun replied: But I really feel very real.
I replied: illusions tend to be more real.
At the end of the third period, it was time to do eye exercises, and Xiong Yanfei's father suddenly appeared in our classroom window.
I immediately walked out of the classroom, "What's the matter, uncle?" β
"I brought Yanfei to school." Xiong Yanfei's father didn't seem to have slept well.
"Oh."
"Yan Fei wants you to accompany her to the road behind the school."
"Where is she now?" I asked.
"In my car."
I asked Wu Jianhua to help me ask the teacher for leave, and then walked out of the campus with Xiong Yanfei's father. The sky was overcast, and although the rain had stopped, it looked wet everywhere.
"Is Yanfei better?" I say.
"WellβI wanted to persuade her to come over for the weekend, but I couldn't bear to see her eagerness. I'm really sorry for you and will delay your course. Xiong Yanfei's father lost weight again.
"Uncle is too unconventional to say such things. As long as Yan Fei is happy, what does it matter if I delay some classes, not to mention that I am reviewing every day now, and it will not have any impact at all. β
"That's good, that's good. You also know that Yan Fei likes you, and you have given her a lot of courage to fight against the disease. You know, she ...... Time is really running out, and the bone and joint pain has become worse these days. Xiong Yanfei's father said.
"Did you vomit blood later?"
"I threw up once."
"Oh." My heart ached and I choked.
Xiong Yanfei's father's police car was parked in front of the school, and Xiong Yanfei was sitting in the passenger seat. The passenger compartment door was open. When she saw us, she waved at us.
Xiong Yanfei's father helped Xiong Yanfei out of the car.
"Let's go." Xiong Yanfei gave me a smile. Her puffiness was worse.
"Where's my uncle?"
"Let my dad keep the car."
"Go, I'll wait for you here." Xiong Yanfei's father said.
"Good. Are we going to the back door of the school, or are we going straight to the road? I asked.
"Let's go around this way, I'm afraid I'll run into the teacher."
"Okay."
We walked side by side along the path outside the campus to the gravel path behind the campus.
These few times, Jie Feixiang and I took this road to transport Xiang Wangfu's body.
After turning the corner, Xiong Yanfei took my hand.
"It's going to be better these days, I think you look good." I say. Xiong Yanfei's face was still so pale and a little yellowish.
"Because I'm in a good mood." Xiong Yanfei said.
"It's just that the weather is so annoying and depressing. I would have come to date you a long time ago. I said, I'll make an appointment with you as soon as the weather improves. "We were walking on gravel roads. There was a lot of water in the low-lying part of the gravel road, but it didn't affect our walking.
"I don't think so. You can see the vibrant green and all kinds of flowers everywhere, and it is very pleasant to see. Xiong Yanfei said happily.
"Not bad. Spring is the most vigorous season of life. Hey, Yanfei, you wait for me. "I ran into the field.
"What are you doing when you set sail?"
"You'll wait for me there." There were several fields by the stream, where the peasants did not grow vegetables or rice, and there were wild flowers full of yellow and red wild flowers.
I quickly collected a handful, and then ran back to Xiong Yanfei.
"For you, Yanfei." The nameless flowers are still covered with crystal droplets.
"Ah, I knew you were going to pick flowers for me. It's really beautiful. Xiong Yanfei put the bouquet in front of his nose, "There is also a faint fragrance." β
"It's rained, otherwise it would have been more fragrant." I say.
"Do you remember the first time we walked on this road, and you also collected a bouquet of flowers for me?"
"Do I have one?"
"Hmph, you wish me a speedy recovery."
"Ah, I remember, you told me that you had a serious illness in your third year of junior high school. You also said that thanks to that illness, we met by chance. I said.
"That's right. I was still taking my medication. β
We hold hands again.
"Set sail, thank you so much for accompanying me on this journey. With you by my side, I don't feel sorry at all. Xiong Yanfei said.
"Why do you say that? Have you lost faith in yourself? Didn't we make an appointment to go to college together, and we would still think about this place in ten years? "I feel as empty as the sky in the sky.
"That's why I'm here today. Originally, I wanted to come back on the weekend and wait for the weather to get better, but I knew my own body, and I was really afraid that I couldn't wait. β
"Yanfeiβ" Tears rolled in my eyes.
"Don't you can't accept it, don't be sad, look at me, it's not sad at all. Sooner or later, this day will come. God won't let me take too long off. It's good enough for me. β
I stopped and hugged Xiong Yanfei into my arms. I was speechless.
"I know that you and my parents are the saddest people, but you have to think about it from another angle, since this disease cannot be cured, and it is only a sin to survive, wouldn't it be better to get rid of it as soon as possible? Really, I'm actually very conflicted, sometimes I hope that God will give me some more time, let me accompany you to the college entrance examination, let me know the results of your college entrance examination, but sometimes I don't want that, I'm afraid that staying here will not be conducive to your college entrance examination review. β
"Yanfei, why do you think that? Don't you know that you are too cruel to me to say that? "I couldn't hold back my tears.
"That's what I thought to myself. But what God has decided is not for people to think. Yesterday I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make it up. I vomited blood again, you know? I was very tired, I was in a trance all day, and when I closed my eyes, I felt like I was going to sleep forever, but fortunately this feeling disappeared, so when I woke up today and saw the world again, I begged my father to send me over. β
"No, no." I say.
"Every bone and joint hurts these days, no, it's even more painful, so painful that you wish it wasn't your joint, you wish it was someone else's hand or someone's foot. Also, you may not have noticed, but my gums are swollen all the time. Xiong Yanfei said.
I hugged Xiong Yanfei hard. I don't know why God created man and tortured him like this.
Later, we adjusted our emotions and moved on. In fact, Xiong Yanfei is very inconvenient to walk because of bone and joint pain, but she never forgets that "old place".
"Gotta go check out that old place. I don't know if the crucian carp in the stream is still there, but if it is, it must be big. Xiong Yanfei seemed to be talking to herself.
After passing the railway bridge cave, I couldn't help but look in the direction of the grave where Xiang Wangfu was buried. The grave bag that was buried by me, Jie Feixiang, and the landlady many times is clearly visible.
Xiong Yanfei didn't know that I had stayed here for several nights in a row. I suddenly thought, if Xiong Yanfei died, would he have to be buried in such a hurry? She's not an adult.
Phew. I quickly shook my head.
The "old place" is still the same, exactly the same as the first time we saw it. The bushes stretched over the stream, and the aquatic plants in the stream seemed to be the same as last year's, and the water was still clear and almost transparent, and the parts of the aquatic plants soaked in the water were clearly visible.
It's just that the surrounding paddy fields have been cleaned up by farmers, and the blackened grass pockets and weeds in the paddy fields have been raked and pressed into the mud, and it is estimated that the rice will be planted.
I helped Xiong Yanfei slowly down to the edge of the stream.
A school of small fish swims in the stream.
Xiong Yanfei wanted to squat down and touch the stream, maybe her joints would hurt more when she squatted down, so she gave up this idea.
"What about the bigger crucian carp, why is it missing?" Xiong Yanfei said.
We waited for a while, but we didn't see any bigger crucian carp. A group of small fish as thin as insects and ants burrowed into the grass and out of the grass at one time.
"Maybe it's already in people's stomachs." I say.
"Yes. Even if there is a larger crucian carp here, it won't be the same one from last year. A crucian carp's life is about the same as mine. β
"To put it all in, everyone's life is about the same as the life of a crucian carp. Maybe the crucian carp you released will swim back to the river, and you will be living happily every day. I said.
"I hope so. Oops. β
"What's wrong?" I hurriedly supported Xiong Yanfei's body that was about to fall.
"My feet are so numb, I can't stand up."
"Let's go up."
Walking up to the gravel road, I noticed beads of sweat on Xiong Yanfei's face.
"Are you tired?" I asked.
"I'm worried that I won't be able to go back."
"Then I'll carry you," I crouched down, "come." β
"I feel tired, maybe I've walked too far. It's been a long time since I've walked that far. β
"Hurry up." I stepped back to Xiong Yanfei's feet.
Xiong Yanfei hesitated for a moment, but still leaned on my back. Xiong Yanfei's weight is so light, it really makes me unimaginable. It seems that the blood cancer is draining her too much energy.
"I felt like I was really useless." Xiong Yanfei said.
"If you're strong, I don't have such a good chance." I say.
"Hmm. Your back is warm. β
"Do you like the feeling of my back?"
"Hmm." Xiong Yanfei yawned.
"Want to sleep?"
"I feel sleepy."
"If you don't mind, you can close your eyes and get some sleep. My back isn't thick enough, but it's safe. β
"I'm really going to get some sleep."
I carried Xiong Yanfei back for a while, and Xiong Yanfei almost fell asleep on my back.
My headache struck my sensory nerves like a ghost jumping out of the darkness, and I couldn't help but scream.
