It was a particularly hot summer. I know that the old camphor tree near my house is calling day and night. The metasequoia and osmanthus trees on campus, and the plane trees on the streets, all wilted, as if all the water accumulated in their bodies had evaporated.

At that time, I didn't know the term "greenhouse effect," that the earth was warming, and that the increasingly turbid and even smelly water of the Hua'an River was evidence that modern industry was polluting the environment.

All I know is to curse the hot weather, which keeps me from curling into my little space (bedroom) to escape my father's reproachful eyes and my mother's complaining gaze. I had no choice but to take my guitar and flee to the old camphor tree to the accompaniment of the roaring or to the football field of Hua'an No. 2 Middle School with a soccer ball and sweat like rain.

The difference between my college entrance examination score and the cut-off score of the provincial medical school is four points, needless to say, of course, four points lower. When my father heard the news, he was so furious that I felt like I was going to break through the roof. He kept walking up and down the narrow living room, his fists clenched.

That year, the cut-off score for the provincial medical school was too high.

Extremely depressed, I went to Yangjiang County. I only consulted with my mother. My mother was very much in favor of it, and she wanted me to go out for a walk.

Sitting on the bus to Yangjiang County, I immersed myself in the memories of my childhood. I left the East Gate at the end of the thirteenth year, and now it has been eight years.

What changes does eight years make in a person? Eight years for a little boy to grow into a young man, eight years for a little girl to grow into a big girl. Even if Hao Junqi returns to her hometown, even if we can walk face-to-face on the path in front of the Dongmen Reservoir, eight years can make the young man and the big girl who were once unguessed "see each other but don't know each other".

What will Hao Junqi look like?

I don't want to associate Wu Lianzi with Hao Junqi anymore.

I'm not used to imagining Hao Junqi through Wu Lianzi, and I even hope that Hao Junqi will change her appearance no matter what she looks like when she grows up.

And that weird legend - the legend of the bump stone, how many nights I think of my own emotional experience, it seems that there really is a shadow of it. Yu Huihui committed suicide because she fell in love with me, although she committed suicide by jumping into the river completely because she was raped by Li Xiwen, but after all, she was the first girl to express her love to me.

Wu Lianzi also kept saying that she loved me, but she had fallen to the point of no return.

Chu Huoyu, a woman who was going to give me the "first time", is now missing.

And Xiong Yanfei, the woman who made my heart ache has obeyed the call of God.

Especially that inexplicable headache, why does it always suddenly attack me when Xiong Yanfei and I have a skin-to-skin blind date? Is it a malicious blocking? And the reason why it is maliciously blocked is just to confirm its legend?

So, will this legend also affect Hao Junqi?

If this legend is really so mysterious, then it will inevitably affect Hao Junqi!

What kind of emotional journey will Hao Junqi have? Will she still remember the "brother" who said when she was a child that she would not return to the city but finally returned to the city, and said that she would come back to see her in the summer vacation of the second year after returning to the city and did not fulfill his promise?

Hao Junqi must also meet a boy who makes her heart move, and she will definitely meet a boy who sits together and counts the stars and admires the moon and says "love you forever", so, at that time, how will this mysterious legend punish her? Presumably, it should also be maliciously prevented, otherwise, how can you witness its mystery?

Along the way, I thought about it like this, and when I arrived at the bus station in Yangjiang County, there was no shuttle bus to Tangwu Township in the whole station, and I found out that because of the heavy rain for several days, a section of the road to Tangwu Township (formerly called Tangwu Commune) was completely washed away, and the shuttle bus was stopped. When I asked the conductor at the station when the train would be opened, he replied, "I don't know, the devil knows when it will be opened."

I was extremely depressed and went to climb Tianlinggang, a scenic spot in Yangjiang County, stayed in Yangjiang County for one night, and returned to Hua'an the next day.

When I got home, I could tell from my mother's bitter face that my father and mother had quarreled again, and the reason for the quarrel was that my mother had allowed me to go to Yangjiang without permission.

"What is private? Am I your son, not my mother's son? I'm your personal property, am I? "I was very angry.

"What attitude did you have when you talked to Daddy?" The father was condescending.

"Don't you know that I've always spoken to you with that attitude? You can't tell you how many times you've been to Yangjiang County. You can go if you want, why can't I go? I asked rhetorically.

"Doesn't I care about you? If you didn't get into college, you should think about repeating, so why don't you have the mood to go out and play? I've been helping you get in touch with us for the past few days. Also, I went to Yangjiang County to see Hao Youde, did he come back, their Hao family is kind to us, they have encountered a disaster, we have to help them as much as possible. What about you? Why should you go to Yangjiang? You've never been to Yangjiang alone, what if something happens? "My father was very eloquent.

My father seemed to care about me, but I felt that what was really nervous about him was not what came out of his mouth, because when he learned that I had not gone to Chengdongmen, he immediately relaxed and spoke to me in a much softened tone.

However, I don't know what my father was nervous about. Of course, I didn't have any strong feelings about it at the time, just vaguely felt strange.

At the end of the summer vacation, there was no reason why I should not follow my father's arrangement to repeat my studies at Hua'an No. 2 Middle School. I was amazed that so many of the people in the repeater class could call me by name, but I barely communicated with them.

I remember it was the third day of class in the revision class, I forgot the end of the first class, I don't remember whether it was the morning or the afternoon, but I remember very well that a short classmate came to me.

"Zheng Qihang, I heard that you didn't go to college because you only enrolled in the provincial medical school, right?"

I looked at him and said nothing.

"You know what? The latest news, the absolute latest news, the score of the First Clinical College of the Provincial Medical College has been adjusted offline. Are you enrolled in the First Clinical College? "What a warm-hearted classmate he was, and I am still touched by it when I think about it now, but at that time I was cold, with a rejecting attitude of thousands of miles away.

"Yes."

"And you're still here? Why don't you hurry up and find out? "The little man punched me. He was so happy for me.

"Oh." I'm still indifferent.

At this time, my father, Zheng Rensen, suddenly appeared at the door of the classroom, and he looked full of spring breeze.

"Set sail, set sail! Let's go, carry your schoolbag home, I went to the bureau to get your admission letter. Father said excitedly.

I looked at my father mechanically.

"Really, let's go. I'm in a hurry, so be sure to report to school today. ”

The short classmate looked at me and gave me a "yes or no" expression. A number of classmates came around, and they all threw envious eyes.

I said thank you to the short man, and then packed my bag and went home with my father.

My father sent me to the provincial capital. Sitting on the train, I remembered the experience of going to the provincial capital alone - looking for Chu Huoyu, who also went to the provincial capital alone to see a doctor.

It's been so long, what happened to the Fire Jade? Shangcang really wouldn't be so cruel to let her suffer from a malignant tumor, so that she would "die silently in a corner" as she said in her letter, right?

If God is pitiful and Chu Huoyu suffers from a benign tumor, will Chu Huoyu stay in the provincial capital?

I do not know.

The First Clinical College of the Provincial Medical College really shook me. Especially since it is also built in the city center. It's rare for a medical school to be built this big in a city center where land is more expensive than gold.

Of course, that was the first time I had seen a university campus, and if I had seen Tsinghua University or Zhejiang University before, I would definitely not think so.

The taxi took my father and me straight to the school gate.

Entering the door is a huge sculpture, and I know that it is the image of Sun Simiao when I look at the words on the base of the sculpture. "The courage is big but the heart is small, the wisdom is round and the action is the prescription", presumably this is his famous saying for practicing medicine.

The sculpture is surrounded by a circular flower bed with a diameter of up to five meters, in which artificially cultivated potted flowers compete to bloom.

Going around the flower beds is a very wide concrete road, and a two-car school bus is parked on the side of the road. There are a few tables next to the cypress trees across the school bus. That's the Freshman Registration Office.

"I'm very sorry," said the teacher who received us, after completing the relevant procedures and paying the money, "Since you are a student who has been transferred from the score line, the dormitory management department has no dormitory, so you can only rent a house outside the school." ”

"How much does it cost to rent a house outside?" Father asked.

"Please overcome one semester, it is estimated that there will be bunks in the next semester. And you don't have to worry, many of our students live in rented houses outside. ”

"Oh, then please leave a bunk for my son."

"That's what the class teacher has to think about, and I'm only responsible for signing up. There's nothing else to do today, so you might as well take your son to rent a house. There are a lot of college students renting houses these days, and it is difficult to find a house. The teacher in charge of the reception kindly reminded him.

"Oh, thank you."

Sure enough, we asked several in the alleyway behind the street in front of the school, and their houses were all rented out. We had to go in a direction away from the school. The hard work paid off, and I finally found one. We were in contact with the landlord through a rental advertisement.

The landlord was an old woman in her seventies.

"Oh, you're so lucky, I had to rent out the house because my daughter in Shanghai had to ask me to go to her, and you found the advertisement I just posted in the morning." People always have to nag when they get older, maybe because they are worried that we wonder why no one rents her house.

It is a small house of more than 70 square meters with two bedrooms and two living rooms, on the fifth floor.

"I told you, renting one is the price of one, renting one is the price of one, do you plan to rent one or another?" The old man asked his father.

"Rent one." I say.

"If you rent one, I have to rent out the other, you can't mind." Nagging people are generally very kind.

"You can't let a mess of people live in." Father said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I don't understand this yet, how old I am, I have more than enough to give birth to you. I only rent to students. The old woman said.

I don't know how long it took to go, but my father finally paid the rent. The landlord gave my father a set of keys and left happily. My father gave me the key, explained a few words, and hurried to catch the train back to Hua'an.

When the landlord left, I was the only one left in the house, and I began to observe the house, there was a sofa in the living room, a coffee table, a black and white TV, and the kitchen was also fully equipped, which looked more comfortable than my home in Hua'an. It's really a pleasant thing.

I chose the east-facing house.

I was about to move my suitcase into the house so that I could organize my daily necessities when the lock of the security door suddenly turned, the door was opened, and the old woman appeared at the door again.

A couple followed a girl into the living room after the old woman.
