Qiao Xiaojing's body became more and more bulky, and her stomach was round as if it was wrapped in a ball.
In the past few days, she has been unable to walk freely, and she is very anxious to stay in the house, and from time to time she will come to the school gate, lean against the adobe wall, and look at the sky outside the school.
Principal Yan, who had returned from going out, ran into her, and after chatting a few words with false affection, he sighed: "You said you, you are still a child, and now you have a big belly, how can you live in the future? ”
"Don't go!" Qiao Xiaojing refused indifferently.
"Then what's going on?" Principal Yan glanced at Qiao Xiaojing and said with a little anger, "Is it time for you to lose your temper?" If Dr. Liu hadn't died, you could have asked him to help you, and now that this is the case, what are you still doing here, don't you want to die?"
"Where's Teacher Wang?" Qiao Xiaojing remembered Teacher Wang, who had been missing for several days.
"The police don't even know where he is?" Principal Yan looked around and said with great concern, "I don't even know where he is." However, you still have to worry about yourself more, it's all like this, you have to find a way to process it immediately. ”
"You don't care. Qiao Xiaojing still looked indifferent.
"You want to live or die," Principal Yan said angrily, "I could have ignored it, but are you still yourself? Even if you can care about nothing, can you not care about your stomach like nothing?"
Qiao Xiaojing stopped making a sound, lowered her head and pondered for a moment, coldly squeezed out the two words "whatever", and turned around and walked towards the school. Principal Yan was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
As he spoke, snowflakes drifted in the sky, the cold wind was fierce, and the whole world suddenly shivered.
In the middle of the night, a strong wind blew and "clicked" everywhere, and the snow became heavier, and the goose-feathered snow basins poured down like a splash, and in the blink of an eye, the whole world became a scene covered in silver.
This sudden heavy snow disrupted Principal Yan's plan, and he was worried that he would delay the big event because of this snow, so he turned over in the middle of the night and stood at the door helplessly looking at the snowflakes, with white air columns constantly coming out of his mouth.
By the time the snow stopped, it was seven days and seven nights away.
Originally, I planned to go to the city when the snow stopped, but when the snow stopped, the roads in and out were covered with snow, and I couldn't find any tracks at all.
It is true that the two weeks of waiting is undoubtedly a torment for Principal Yan, he can't sleep at night, he can't eat sweetly, and his mind is full of things about sending Qiao Xiaojing into the city, and at the same time, he has to be on guard against Qiao Xiaojing's change of hexagram, if Qiao Xiaojing changes his attention and is unwilling to enter the city, it will not only lead to the bankruptcy of his plan, but also may become a nightmare for his life.
Principal Yan went in and out several times a day, and finally could faintly see the road mark, he was extremely excited, crying with joy at the crocodile-like back-like pavement, and two locks of white slimy liquid swaying with the breath hanging from the corners of his mouth.
"Let's go," early the next morning, Principal Yan also got a donkey cart out of nowhere and stopped outside the school gate, the bell on the donkey's neck kept making a crisp sound, he came to Qiao Xiaojing's door, and said in a low voice, "Let's hurry up as soon as possible, I hired a donkey cart for you, so that you don't have to work with a big belly." ”
"Wait. Qiao Xiaojing spread out an old sheet and threw the old clothes in the middle of the sheet, which was all her belongings.
"Hurry up," Principal Yan urged, "The road is still long, it's important to hurry!"
"Got it. Qiao Xiaojing put the burden on the table, patted the bed flat, and glanced around the office as a final farewell, then hung the burden on her shoulders and opened the door with a little reluctance.
"Give it to me," Principal Yan took the burden and urged a little impatiently, "Seeing that the sky is getting brighter and brighter, the road is not easy to walk, and I don't know how long I will be delayed on the road, try to hurry as fast as possible, and after entering the city, everything will be fine." ”
Qiao Xiaojing didn't make a sound, and glanced left and right at the empty courtyard, except for her and Principal Yan, there was no one else in the entire courtyard, even if it was a simple goodbye to them, it seemed impossible, Qiao Xiaojing was a little disappointed.
With the support of Principal Yan, Qiao Xiaojing got into the donkey cart.
The donkey cart was covered with a sky blue mattress with red and yellow squares, a thick layer of hay was spread under the mattress, and a faded blue quilt was stacked on the mattress, Qiao Xiaojing sat on the mattress leaning against the frame of the car, Principal Yan covered her with a quilt, and deliberately stuffed the air leakage under Qiao Xiaojing.
"Sit down, cover up, and go. Principal Yan grabbed the reins and patted the donkey on the back, and the donkey began to move forward.
Suddenly, there was a "click, click" sound from the place where the donkey's hooves trampled, echoing with the "jingling" sound of the bell on the donkey's neck.
Principal Yan was like a coachman from a big family, holding the reins of a donkey and hurrying away without any words, while Qiao Xiaojing, who was sitting in the car, was more like a concubine from a big family, tightly wrapping herself into a weak ball, bowing her head shyly, frowning frequently, not looking at the world much, not saying a word about life.
The donkey cart passed over several villages, and stopped when it passed through an empty wilderness, Qiao Xiaojing, who was a little confused, had her head like a pig urine bubble hanging in the air, and she involuntarily shook a few times, she half-squinted her eyes, but saw that Principal Yan was holding a whip in her hand, holding her buttocks and trotting in the direction of the forest.
When he got under a big tree, he unbuttoned his trouser belt in a panic and peed on the tree.
I saw that his body kept shaking from side to side, and before lifting his pants, it was like a sudden lightning strike, and the whole thing twitched violently.
Qiao Xiaojing hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to be still asleep, holding back her laughter.
Principal Yan, who was relaxed, sat on the wheel with the reins, and the whip kept whipping on the back of the donkey, making a series of snapping sounds, and the donkey accelerated its pace under the urging of the whip, the car bumped, Qiao Xiaojing swayed left and right with the bumps of the car, and fell asleep again after a while.
The carriage drove into a bluestone paved road, Principal Yan turned his head and woke up Qiao Xiaojing, and instructed: "The city is different from the countryside, don't talk nonsense in everything, everything must be subject to my arrangement, you know?"
"Got to the city?" Qiao Xiaojing had never been in the county seat, she was very excited, she looked at it from a distance, and said in surprise, "Have you really arrived at ---the county seat?"
"It's almost time!" Principal Yan jumped out of the car and tightened his grip on the donkey.
"It's not there yet!" Qiao Xiaojing seemed a little disappointed, and said lightly, "I said, how can the county not be as depressed as our countryside, at least you should see people everywhere and street vendors everywhere." ”
"Remember what I said," Principal Yan didn't pay attention to Qiao Xiaojing, he continued, "This city is more lively than the countrymen, but it is also a big dye vat with a mixture of fish and dragons, there are all kinds of people, especially there are many liars, and the means are very clever, don't trust others easily, let alone tell others about yourself, don't be deceived." ”
Qiao Xiaojing saw that there were more and more houses, and there were more and more people, and all kinds of shouts were becoming more and more mixed, which instantly aroused curiosity, and looked at the excitement, she didn't have the heart to listen to Principal Yan at all, no matter what he said, he just responded to a "um" word.
The donkey cart passed through a section of bluestone pavement, turned through an alley covered with moss between the cracks in the stones, and came to the street with various signs, just looking at the bustle of the street, Qiao Xiaojing's heart was surging, even though it was the thick winter season.
Passers-by in various costumes leisurely look around and are dazzled by a variety of goods.
The cries of the vendors come and go, and the different cries merge into the same space, and strangely, instead of looking cluttered, they add a lot of vivid melodies to the street.
Qiao Xiaojing, who was sitting on the donkey cart, couldn't wait to have a few more pairs of eyes, and in the face of the noisy scene in front of her, her heart was about to jump out, looking around excitedly, and she kept swallowing saliva.
Principal Yan didn't have Qiao Xiaojing's state of mind, his face was heavy, he tightly pulled the reins of the donkey, lowered his head, and walked forward with one mind.
Fruit stalls, vegetable stalls, baked cake stalls, meat stalls, fabric shops, beef steamed bun shops, halal restaurants, Yuelai inns, pharmacies, dough rolling stalls, garment shops, coffin shops, etc., everything that should have entered Qiao Xiaojing's eyes, and they all broke free from Qiao Xiaojing's eyes and ran away, Qiao Xiaojing couldn't help but sigh:
"Everything in the world is hidden here, and the small street has a lot of energy!"
The cart passed through the bustling market, turned into a grey alley, and finally stopped in front of a two-story building.
There is no bustle and liveliness here, and it is suddenly a lot quieter.
"It's here, it's at the hospital. Come, I'll help you out of the car, and stay here from today. Principal Yan put the reins around the donkey's neck, tore off the quilt wrapped around Qiao Xiaojing, pulled her out of the quilt, and slowly helped her out of the car.
"Hospitalization early, right? Stomach pain When it came time to give birth, I didn't feel stomach pain at all. ”
"It's early, but it's okay, can't you rest in peace in the hospital?" Principal Yan comforted Qiao Xiaojing, who was a little uneasy, while packing up the things in the car.
"Huh, rest in peace?" Qiao Xiaojing's mouth was crooked.
"No, no, no, a slip of the tongue, it's a slip of the tongue, peace of mind, you can rest assured in the hospital. Principal Yan hurriedly explained.
Qiao Xiaojing followed behind Principal Yan, carrying a bulging bag of things, and timidly entered the hospital.
Principal Yan had a conversation with a doctor who was about forty years old in a dark robe, and finally, led by a young man, he and Qiao Xiaojing went up to the second floor, turned right along the corridor, and entered the third room.
The room was simply furnished, but it was kept clean.
Principal Yan completed the relevant procedures, explained it, and hurriedly went downstairs.
Until dinnertime, Principal Yan came to the hospital with two flasks and a bag of sauced beef, greeted Qiao Xiaojing after eating, and said that he had something important to do, and he had already explained to the hospital, and someone would help take care of it, and then went downstairs.
Qiao Xiaojing was always inexplicable, always felt a chill in her back, locked the door of the house, and got into the bed.
