Chapter 50: Distress in the Woods
I nodded, but I didn't want to do that, the captain still had work to do, and I didn't want to trouble him anymore.
Tianlu turned around and beckoned Xue'er in the distance, she was eating with her friends, and when she saw me sitting opposite Tianlu, she thought about it, and then shook her head. But in the end, she was pushed by the female companion next to her with a smile.
She slowly walked over to our table and sat down next to his brother. The atmosphere became a little awkward, I understood that Xue'er should know what his brother was talking to me about just now, she pursed her lips and ate in small bites, no different from when Lu Xue was nervous. I suddenly remembered Uncle Lu Jin's unfunny jokes, and every time he finished speaking, he would laugh out loud, making others laugh involuntarily after him. All the embarrassment and small emotions also flew out of the sky with those hearty laughter.
"Did you remember to write anything this morning?" Tianlu asked me while eating.
I was still thinking about the original thing, and I was stunned for a moment when he suddenly asked, and then replied to him: "No, no." ”
"It's strange to say that you're all right, everyone knows it, but you forget everything, this selective amnesia is really good at choosing."
"Okay," Xue'er whispered to Tianlu, "If he can't remember, don't force him to think about it." ”
"Actually... It was like a dream I had. I whispered. I don't know how I could have said such a ridiculous thing, but it seemed to me to be just a dream that I didn't know how to wake up.
"Okay, don't overthink it." Cher paused for a moment, then whispered as she gave me the meat from her bowl, and I looked at her concerned face and suddenly had the thought that I would never wake up. There are no seas, parents, friends, lovers, and people I like all get together, and I never think about the danger of death.
Qingmo came from a distance, saw Tianlu and Xue'er stop for a few seconds, walked over quickly, put a bottle of water on my table and said lightly:
"Here's for you." Then he walked away quickly. I know that she has a grudge against the Tianlu siblings, after all, our relationship is also a little complicated.
Tianlu and Xue'er didn't say anything, just pretended not to see each eating their own food. I also hurriedly buried my head in my rice bowl, trying to avoid this embarrassing topic as much as possible. We didn't talk until we finished eating. After I went back, I still had a class I didn't understand, and until I came out of school, the captain was waiting for me at the school gate.
"Captain." I walked over as I called him, and I was still used to calling him Captain when I came here, and slowly he got used to it. He talked and laughed with me until I got home, but he didn't ask me if I remembered anything, but when I got to the door, I stopped and turned to him:
"I'm sorry, I didn't remember anything today."
He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Child, there's nothing to be sorry for, everyone has a different life." He looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "I was illiterate at the beginning, I didn't understand anything, and I was quite majestic in the sea, but when I came here, I was no different from a fool." But aren't you still having a good time now? He smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "People, you can live in any way, there is no need to stick to one model." ”
I agree with the captain, but I don't think there's anything remarkable about literacy, and Luke Cher, or Dr. Lowe, tell me that it's just a choice in life.
I went into the house with the captain and ate the food cooked by my "mother", and life seemed to become simpler, and I didn't have to think about anything, and I didn't have to do anything.
After a while, I still didn't remember anything, and the teachers at school got used to me not knowing anything, and they wouldn't call me by name when I went to class. During this period, many girls came to me to confess or ask me if I remembered them, but as my test scores have been sluggish, there are fewer and fewer of them.
I don't care how many people love me, there is enough love for me now, so much more than I can put together. Qingmo and Xue'er still had the same attitude towards me before, and they didn't snub me because I didn't study well. Slowly I began to feel sorry for them, because in the end I had to choose one of them. To be honest, I was a little selfish, I didn't want to make a decision, I just wanted to wait for when this dream would wake up, but I didn't want to wake up.
In June, Jiangnan is in the Huangmei rainy season, and the smoke and rain gently fall into the clear river, and the water of the Yingying River swings out with small ripples. A woman picking lotus lightly untied her clothes on the canopy boat, wiping the sweat beads on her face with an embroidered handkerchief. The ancient town of Suzhou is simple and tranquil, the breeze passes through the white walls and green tiles, bypasses the water pavilions, and carries the light fragrance of chrysanthemums, caressing the smiling Jiangnan woman's creamy skin.
The drizzle of sycamores, the warblers and the grass grow, every now and then I will wake up early and enjoy the leisurely stroll in the paintings. Walking through the low bushes in front of me, where I went to school, I rolled up my trouser legs as usual, carried my schoolbag to the front, and stepped on the bluestone slab to walk inside.
Suddenly, there were more than one of them, and they seemed to have come to surround me in the middle, and a taller man came up to me with a stick and asked me:
"Is it you that Cher likes?" Before I could answer, he spat at the side and said, "You kid has a big life." ”
Hearing him say this, I remembered what Tianlu said to me, it turned out that the injuries in the car accident were indeed intentional. Although I hadn't experienced anything before, I still couldn't help but clench my fists as soon as I got angry.
"Yo, why are you still not convinced?" He came up defiantly and shoved me. I turned around, and he stumbled to my side. At this moment, I snatched his wooden stick and smashed it on his waist.
I didn't exert myself, but I clearly heard a "gaba", followed by a scream. Seeing this scene, the people around me hurriedly came up and wanted to beat me together, but their strength was too small, and seven or eight people were not my opponent together.
After a while, they were still at a disadvantage, and I was in a hurry to go to school, so I kicked the person in front of me away and wanted to run towards the school. Just as he was about to run, he heard someone shouting from behind:
"Boy, look at the boxing!"
I turned around and tried to elbow him, but as soon as I turned around, I was splashed in the face by an unknown liquid. My face suddenly felt like it was on fire, and I rubbed it with my hands, but the skin I touched felt like it was burning. I tried to shout but couldn't open my mouth, and I fell to the ground in one fell swoop, rolling around.
