The walls on both sides are smooth and white, as if they were pasted with white paper. The windows on the walls are neat and clean, and there are plastic window frames around them. The road under your feet is smooth and there are no potholes. The man pushed me into a small enclosed room, about the size of a toilet, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous:

"Where is this?"

The people next to me suddenly turned their heads to look at me, and the man replied:

"Don't be afraid, kid, it's coming soon."

As soon as the words fell, I felt a sudden fall, as if falling from the sky, my heart tightened, but the person next to me didn't seem to react, and the feeling disappeared immediately. After a similar feeling, the front door opened automatically, and the man pushed me out.

"Dad, where is this?" When the man pushed me to a place where no one was around, I turned my head and asked.

"This is an ancient town in Suzhou, and it is also the place where you were born, counting this year, we should have been here for 19 years...."

I looked around, and beneath the gray tiles were gray-white walls, and there were some places covered with damp moisture. Low shrubs and grasses spit out buds, and a breeze blows through the cracks between the buds, rolling up the fine willow leaves, swinging in the air, and slowly falling into the clear river. This is also the first time I have seen such a long and winding river in a complex of buildings, turning all the way as far as the eye can see. There are quaint bridges over the river, and a few canopy boats pass by from time to time. As I looked, some raindrops fell from the sky, and if compared with the fog on the sea, it was not much stronger than that.

The rain and fog hit my body, and I didn't feel any discomfort, I remember a person from the south said that the name of the rain in spring is apricot blossoms. I have always kept this beautiful name in mind, and the season when the apricot blossoms bloom is the day when the apricot blossoms rain. The girls in the distance had already opened an oil-paper umbrella, and with the faint mist, some gradually walked towards us, and some gradually walked into the distance.

"It's so beautiful," I said lightly. I have never been to such a southerly place in my more than ten years of sea life, and the rain falls on my body, and I feel that my whole person is moisturized.

"yes... Hometown, can it not be beautiful? The man took his pipe from his waist and wound it around it, in exactly the same way as the captain of the ship. It's just that this pipe is different, the captain's pipe is shorter, his is longer, and the material is not made of ebony, it should be a bamboo rod.

The fireworks flickered in the light rain, and every time it felt like it was about to be extinguished, a new flame erupted. Watching him smoke, my mood slowly became more steady, and it was quite interesting to think about, although it was a dream, and they were all acquaintances, but the identity had changed, I don't know who else would appear next, and what their identity was.

"By the way, you just said that we were here for 19 years, but what about before me? Do you live here with your mother? ”

The man propped his hand on my chair and said slowly: "It's a coincidence, it turns out that I have been floating on the sea, and I came to this town when I first came to the south, and the first person I met here was your mother." She wasn't a local, she was a northerner, we met by chance, and the more we talked, the more speculative we became, and finally we decided to live here, and then you were born. ”

"How did you meet?"

He was happy when he heard me say this, lowered his head and said, "At that time, your mother was taking pictures with others and accidentally fell into the water, and I happened to pass by and rescued her." As he spoke, he took out a pocket watch from his bosom and opened it, on which was a picture of a girl: "Look, your mother grew up really well twenty years ago." ”

What amazed me was not the face, but the pocket watch, exactly like the old captain's. 'Think about it day and dream about it at night.' I thought to myself, I had always thought that the captain's pocket watch was a picture of a woman, but now I had confirmed it in my dream.

"Beautiful."

The man smiled and put the pocket watch into his arms, took another puff of his pipe, and said leisurely: "I have been with your mother for so many years, although I have lived in harmony with Meimei, and I have hardly quarreled, but sometimes I really want to go to the sea." There is moonshine, there are small fish ......."

"There are also swarms of jellyfish that glow pale blue." I took the conversation and turned my head to see his surprised face.

"Did I tell you that?" He smiled and said, "It's still what you learned from reading books." He looked up and into the distance, and said slowly, "Those jellyfish are really hard to meet, especially at night, but that scene is so beautiful." ”

"Is it more beautiful than that?" I asked with a smile. He also smiled and gently touched my head, looked into the distance and said:

"Since you have chosen this place, you don't have to think about anything else," he turned to look at me with a smile: "It is impossible to try all the choices in life, if you can enjoy it, it is the best choice, what do you say?" ”

"But there are some things we can't choose." I looked at his smiling face, then lowered my head again. Although I am also a relatively lucky person, the pain of losing a loved one since childhood is only understood by those who have also lost. The feeling of fear is everywhere, as if no matter where you are, you can't relax and enjoy life steadily.

He frowned slightly, as if wondering how I could ask the question, and it was obvious that he would understand my testimonial about the crash.

"It's okay kid, at least you saved your life." He smiled again and said, "You have to thank Qingmo, if she hadn't found out about calling 120 for the first time, you might have really died." ”

I didn't understand what it meant to "call 120", but I could understand that it was Qingmo who saved me, and she said she was waiting for me at school. has experienced too many twists and turns, and the missing for Qingya can only slowly focus on her, I want to go to school now to see what is the difference between them:

"Dad, when can I go to school?"

"Go to school..."He looked up and thought for a while and said, "If you want to be discharged from the hospital, it will take two more days," he paused and said, "Don't worry about where to get in, some things are destined by God, let's work hard, it's enough." No, you can repeat it for another year. ”

I didn't understand what he was saying, but I knew that it would be a few days before I went back to school, and then there seemed to be a more important exam for me to take.

"Dad, I may have forgotten everything I learned." I looked up at him and said. He also looked at me, stunned for a moment, and said:

"It's okay, wait until school and think about it, if you can't think of it, it's okay, Dad will find you a job."

I looked at him seriously, and he looked quite like the captain. I smiled and nodded, thinking to myself that I didn't know when this dream would come true, if I really had to work and live in a small town. But I don't want to leave this dream, after all, when my parents are here, my heart is also beautiful.
