Chapter 45: The Petrel

The two of them only felt a cool breeze blowing, and in an instant, they saw hail the size of soybean grains bounce on the ground, followed by blisters the size of wine cups. The people who didn't have time to dodge in the square were all smashed down by the raindrops the size of beans mixed with hail, and they were dizzy and hurriedly dodged.

Fusheng Xinlan was about to enter the waiting room, but the people who were driven by this gust of wind and rain buzzed here all of a sudden, pushing and crowding behind the two, forcing the two to go inside. Fusheng was worried about Xinlan in his heart, and pulled Xinlan in front of him, holding his travel bag in one hand and protecting her with the other, lest he squeeze her. The two finally squeezed into the corner of the wall before they stood up. Fusheng looked at the crowded crowd, and then looked at Xinlan in front of him, smiled bitterly in his heart for a while, and said to Xinlan: Why do you say we are suffering? If it weren't for this, we would be at home, planting a small vegetable garden, raising some chickens, raising some ducks, drinking some wine every once in a while, and when Lu Dong has children, you will give them children and enjoy the beauty of rural pastoral life! Now I have a stable life, but I came here to squeeze and bear this sin of the bag!

Xinlan looked at Fusheng, propped up the wall hard, and said in her heart, it's all on this, and she said discouragement, so she continued: It's late, don't say anything about this, let's have one goal, that is, no matter what the situation, we have to rush forward for our family! Besides, what kind of crime is this, as the saying goes, it is rare to be sweet without suffering. Just wait for that day!

It was still raining outside, and it was like a burst, and people kept squeezing in and out of the waiting room, driving bursts of commotion. People can't stand this kind of torment, and they are barely patient, wishing that the train would arrive sooner.

Finally, the train that Fusheng was going to take arrived at the point, and the piercing electric bell rang fiercely in an instant, just above the heads of Fusheng and Xinlan, and the screaming was unbearable. Fusheng Xinlan was in a hurry to leave this place of right and wrong, so she squeezed to the place where she was queuing with her bag, the flow of the air was wrapped in bursts of sweat and moisture, mixed with only drilling into people's nostrils, people were patient, waiting in line to check tickets. Fusheng originally didn't let him buy a platform ticket, he thought that a big man didn't have much luggage, so there was no need for that, but now that he saw so many people, he regretted it again. He thinks that if he buys a platform ticket, after Xinlan enters, she can walk out of the station entrance, and she will no longer suffer this foreign crime. But it's too late to say anything, looking at the pouring rain outside, he told Xinlan worriedly: It's too big outside, and he can't wait for a while before leaving. The road is dark, and the place where you go in the shade. Go back and rest early.

Xinlan looked at Fusheng Dao: I know, you can rest assured, can a person as old as me take care of himself, but you should pay attention to your body when you go back to work, don't hold your breath, and work slowly.

Fusheng agreed, saw that he had arrived at the ticket gate, did not dare to delay, cut the ticket and went in, looked back at Xinlan, as if there were endless things to say, Fusheng wanted to pause, but was urged by the ticket inspector, and had no choice but to go in with the flow of people.

Seeing that Fusheng had already entered, Xinlan was afraid that it would be difficult to get out of it if she was blocked inside, so she hurriedly took advantage of the effort to enter the station and move to the door, so as to wait until the rain stopped and it was convenient to enter and exit.

The rain is still falling, people didn't expect it to rain, and they didn't prepare, many people didn't have time to hide from the rain and were drenched, and their hair and clothes were wet. Stand at the door and control the water. The ground at the entrance was wet everywhere, and the uneven places were filled with water from the stalls. Xinlan came outside, stood under the eaves, looked at the swaying shadows of the trees in the distance, the dim street lamps, and suddenly felt that she was alone, so helpless. It seems that letting Fusheng leave is a big mistake, and she even thinks that even if Fusheng is by her side, she doesn't have to do anything, she can give her psychological comfort. But after thinking about it, she immediately denied her thoughts, she knew that at this moment, everything would not be repeated, and she would not allow herself to do that. She knew she couldn't be afraid, let alone retreat; She knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her behind her; She knew what a joke it would be to go back to the countryside if she couldn't do it this time, and she was responsible for her promise to her father and the future of her children.

The rain seems to have lightened a lot, and some people have already tried to rush into the rain. Xinlan looked in the direction of the hostel, and the dim light hid behind the swaying trees, appearing and disappearing. The buses on the main road have stopped, and occasionally there are solicitors wearing tarpaulins and pedaling tricycles non-stop.

Xinlan leaned out, felt the light rain falling in the sky with her hand, and felt that it was irrelevant, so she brushed the hair covering her eyes and went down the steps at the entrance of the station, but what she didn't expect was that the steps were too slippery, one foot was put up, and the other foot was just raised, and she heard a 'snort' sound, and the foot on the steps lost its center of gravity. Xinlan wants to stabilize her figure, but this is not easy to say, let alone a woman. only listened to the 'plop', Xinlan really fell a butt pier, making Xinlan's pants wet and not to mention, and the pain made Xinlan grin even more. Xinlan couldn't do it, so she slowly turned her body and stood up, looking at her clothes back and forth, but fortunately she was just soaking through her pants, and nothing else mattered. She slowly tried to walk a few steps, and realized that her legs were fine, so she twisted her body and walked carefully towards the inn.

The sky began to rain again, saying that it was not big or small. Xinlan covered her hair with her hands, and chose her way to the inn by the dim light that was dappled on the ground through the branches. The hostel is at the mouth of an alley, and the lights at the entrance of the alley are not on for some reason. Xinlan walked forward cautiously and walked to the entrance of the alley, but saw that the alley was full of water, and a large cardboard box shell on the ground was stepped on as a stepping stone. Xinlan avoided the puddle, stretched out her feet for a long time, and wanted to take advantage of the carton piece to pass, but she didn't expect the carton piece to slide forward, and saw Xinlan with one foot in front and one foot behind, and knelt in the puddle by the carton with one leg. Xinlan didn't expect her luck to be so bad, she fell twice after a while, she wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, but her nose was sore, and her eyes were full of tears in an instant. She didn't expect that as soon as Fusheng left, she fell twice in a row, and she wondered if this meant something? She didn't stand up right away, and let the rain baptize,

Thinking that Fusheng had just left, she was so defeated by God, she didn't know what kind of test she would have next, waiting for her to deal with it and conquer it. She was dominated by this emotion, thinking that since she had come to this point, what else was there to fear, so her heart turned sideways and stood up again. This situation and this scene made her think of Gorky's petrel in a trance, and her heart seemed to be inspired, and she couldn't help but fantasize about the petrel soaring in the storm in her heart, and from the bottom of her heart, she also resonated to let the storm come more violently! Cheer up, wade directly into the water, return to the hostel, simply wash your clothes and pants and cool them on the wire, tidy up your hair, dry your body, and lie down in the bed. Thinking about the process just now, I slowly became confused. However, just when she was half-asleep and half-awake, Xinlan saw a big man in black jump in from the window, and suddenly pressed Xinlan's arms!
