Extra: Love
Mr. Mu fell in love with a girl and wanted to ask a postman to deliver a letter for him. However, after a busy year, and was about to have a leisurely New Year, the postman politely rejected Mr. Mu, and in order to convince him, the postman also persuaded him with eloquent words: "Sir, do you not want to see her with your own eyes, to hug her personally, and then to tell her your thoughts with your own mouth?" ”
Mr. Mu's heart was moved, and he coughed twice in his hoarse throat, and said to the postman in a tone of voice: "But, ahem, I have just contracted a cold, and it may not be suitable for a long journey." ”
"It's okay, sir, true love heals everything."
So Mr. Mu hit the road.
The old calendar is about to be torn up, and people who have been busy all year are rushing home with their harvest. An acquaintance met Mr. Mu and immediately stopped him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" How can others go back, but you have to go out. Oh, I see you don't look good, did you go to the doctor? ”
Mr. Mu covered his mouth and coughed twice, and the flush stained his pale cheeks again. He was too embarrassed to look his acquaintance in the eye, so he turned his head to look at the bare tree next to him, and vaguely told him his affection.
"Oh, I see. Since love has chosen you, I should bless you. But are you sure you can go to her like this? ”
Acquaintances were inevitably worried about Mr. Mu, so they advised: "Otherwise, let's wait for spring to come." At that time, I have time, and I can drop you off. ”
Mr. Mu was a little sad when he heard this, he coughed twice sharply, and said, "Friend, I know that you are thinking about me. However, if I delay any longer, I will not let her know my intentions. I'm afraid that the wind and cold will heal, but lovesickness is about to find me. ”
"Do you have to make her understand your mind as soon as possible?" The acquaintance asked, looking at his face.
"Yes."
"Then you're not afraid..."
The acquaintance deliberately didn't finish his words, and Mr. Mu's face was still pale, but he immediately looked at the acquaintance, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm not worried about anything at the moment." Neither the cold nor the cold wind could make me retreat. I must see her, and I must tell her what I want. Even if she doesn't accept it, she's bored, I'm ... Doesn't matter. ”
Mr. Mu lowered his head and wiped his eyes, thinking that no one could see it, and then he raised his head and said that he wanted to leave, but the acquaintance stopped him again and said, "You really don't make me feel at ease like this." In this way, I will personally escort you there. I'm going to see with my own eyes the girl who can impress you. ”
When Mr. Mu heard this, he waved his hand again and again, but his acquaintances did not listen to him, and refused to part with him no matter what he said. Mr. Mu had no choice but to walk with him, and within two days, his words gradually increased.
"How many days will it take us to get into town?"
"You say, will she still remember me? Will she not know who I am, and will not be willing to accept my heart? ”
Acquaintances listened to him say it several times, and simply asked, "How did you meet?" And how did you fall in love with her? You can't always confide in me something that doesn't mean anything and refuse to tell me your story. ”
Mr. Mu tugged at the hair next to his ear, falling into sweet memories, and he hooked the corners of his lips and said, "That's what happened shortly after winter came." It was a cold day, and I didn't want to go out, but I ran out of paint at home, and if I didn't replenish it, I might not be able to make it in time for the spring auction. So I hurried into the city. When I arrived at a familiar store, I was about to tell the boss that I was missing something, but the boss pointed to a person who passed me by and said, "It's late, she has bought everything you want to buy." I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly turned around and prepared to intercept the paint. And guess what, I was so anxious that I accidentally knocked her down, and all the paint spilled out and stained her. ”
Speaking of which, Mr. Mu's eyes seemed to recreate the scene of that day, so his eyes revealed an incredible light, and he almost muttered to himself: "Oh, you don't know, she is so beautiful." She's better looking than all the models I've ever drawn. The goddess Liao Si who led me to paint is not as beautiful as her. ”
The acquaintance said: "I don't understand, didn't she beat you?" ”
"Yes, not only that, but she took me to a hidden shop where I bought all the paint I needed."
"Oh, and then?"
The brilliance in Mr. Mu's eyes became less and less, until he was filled with some complicated emotions, he looked at the acquaintance and said, "Then I went home." But ever since, I've been missing that girl. There were many days when I couldn't put pen to paper, and all I could do was her face. I spent a long time painting more than a dozen portraits of her, and I didn't paint a single one of them. Then one night, the day I suddenly caught the cold, I finally understood how deep my longing for her was that I had to see her again and tell her about it. ”
"Okay, now I'll be able to figure it out." The eyes of the acquaintances looked forward for a while, and then retracted for a while, until Mr. Mu began to wonder. The acquaintance pointed to the front and said, "Maybe we shouldn't go forward, you see, the sign over there says there is an avalanche road ahead, and it's dangerous." ”
"Is there any other way for us to go?"
Mr. Mu understood that he had asked a nonsense, he thought for a while, and said to his acquaintance: "Go back, it's the New Year, you really shouldn't run around anymore." Just let me go alone, I'm not afraid of avalanches, I'm just afraid that I won't see her. ”
Acquaintances knew Mr. Mu's persistence, but still said: "Let's go again in the spring, she won't be able to run away in the past few months." ”
Mr. Mu smiled and shook his head and said goodbye to his acquaintance.
The car trembled past the newly erected small sign, and there were no accidents. Mr. Mu thanked for his good luck and thanked the pine trees for the snowdrift. But before he could rejoice, he saw a new sign erected in front of him: There are bears, be careful.
Mr. Mu laughed when he saw it, he suspected that someone was playing a prank on this road, after all, the bear had begun to hibernate at this time, how could he jump out to trouble him?
"Bang dang..."
At this time, the car suddenly hit something, and Mr. Mu looked up nonchalantly, and found that it was a big snowball, maybe it was originally a big rock, and it became such an unlovely obstacle when there was too much snow.
The road was too narrow to take it away. Mr. Mu jumped out of the car and shook his hand, intending to remove the big rock.
But I tried left and right a few times and changed positions a few times. Not to mention removing it, Mr. Mu felt like he hadn't even lifted a corner.
Mr. Mu held his chin and looked closely at the big rock, it stands to reason that there is such a thick snow on it, it shouldn't be so heavy.
"Whew... Whew..."
When Mr. Mu was observing intently, he suddenly heard a breathing sound. He thought he had misheard, but when he looked closely, he realized that the sound of his breathing came from the large rock in front of him. He hesitated for a moment, swept away all the fresh snow on the big rock, and sure enough, he found a big furry bear face.
Mr. Mu covered his mouth and ran for a long distance before he dared to let go of his hand and gasp for a few breaths. Then he recognized the reality and fell into a tangle again. A terrible bear blocked his car, and it was probably impossible for him to go any further. But... Did he really have to turn back?
Mr. Mu covered his mouth and coughed heavily. After getting out of the car and tossing for a while, his wind chill seemed to be heavier. But he was still reluctant to go back to the car, firstly because of the bear lying in front of the car. The second is...
He looked up, and behind two neat rows of snow-covered pine trees, he saw a red brick wall.
Walk past this brick wall, turn two more corners, and he will be able to enter the city. Then he will be able to see the person he has in mind.
Mr. Mu gritted his teeth, ran far away from the bear to the other side, and continued on the road. He wrapped himself in a large scarf and tugged at his long cloak. But he soon found that it was useless, the relentless cold wind quickly poured into his neck, into his trouser legs, and the more he walked, the more cold he felt. It may be an illusion, or it may be true, and for a while he felt like he was starting to fall off the ice ballast!
But he insisted on walking for a while, and felt much better, except for his head, he didn't know how to start getting dizzy, he felt dazzled when he took two steps, and he was about to stop after a few more steps, and he was afraid that he was going the wrong way.
But he soon remembered that there was only one way into the city, and unless he went back, it was all good.
Relieved, Mr. Mu felt lonely again. There may have been an accident on this section of the road recently, and he walked for a long distance without seeing anyone again, and his desire to take a ride was in vain.
"Whew..."
After persisting for a while, Mr. Mu finally felt that he couldn't bear it anymore. He trembled and pressed the back of his hand to his forehead, as if he heard a sizzling sound. He guessed he might still be smoking!
"Hey, my beloved girl, let me see you again next year."
Mr. Mu accidentally fell, and he finally pulled himself up from the snow. He covered his forehead as he looked at the vague red brick wall. He felt that if he went on his own, he might not be able to go to the city until spring. And he is more likely to freeze to death in the snow quietly. It was only then that he began to regret that he had not followed the advice of his acquaintances. Fortunately, he guessed that he hadn't gone too far, and the bear probably hadn't woken up, and he still had a chance to get back to the car and turn around and go back to his warm home.
Mr. Mu thought about it, sighed, and was about to go back. But suddenly a large snowball rolled in his sight, like a wave, and in the blink of an eye, he was enveloped in it.
Mr. Mu's last thought before being invaded by this disaster was that he might not be suitable for the pursuit of love.
"Hey, is he awake?"
"Not yet, his condition may be a bit difficult."
Two pleasant voices, one high and one low, sounded from the ears, and the tip of the nose lingered with an indescribable aroma, and the surroundings were warm.
Mr. Mu opened his eyes with difficulty, and asked in a hoarse voice, "This is... Paradise? ”
"Hah, this is the pharmacy."
Mr. Mu looked over, got used to it for a while, and finally saw clearly that it was a man's face, the man was wearing glasses, holding a bowl of medicine, and said to him gently: "You almost froze to death in the snow, thanks to someone passing by, found you, and then sent you over." I treated you for three days, and thank goodness you finally woke up. I thought I wouldn't be able to get my return fee. ”
Mr. Mu's head was still a little confused, and he whispered, "Oh, that, thank you." ”
The doctor suddenly laughed, turned to the other man, and said, "You're right, he's really funny." ”
Mr. Mu also looked over, and when he saw the face clearly, his body seemed to have strength all of a sudden, allowing him to get out of bed immediately, but because he was sick, his brain seemed to be a little unclear, and he couldn't remember why he cared so much about that person, so he asked the doctor, "You are a doctor." She, who she is. ”
"That's my wife, and she says she knows you. Well, now I can laugh at her, she keeps complimenting herself for having an unforgettable face! ”
Mr. Mu fainted again.
The doctor talked for a while, but no one took a stubble, only to find that the patient was fainting again. He hurriedly called his wife and said, "You also said that your temper has been much better lately, and you see, you scared him by showing your face." ”
The doctor's wife frowned, looked at Mr. Mu, who was unconscious on the bed, and complained, "Then I take back my words, he is not an interesting person." ”
Throughout the New Year, Mr. Mu spent the whole year lying on the bed in the pharmacy. Because he was so sick, the doctors said it was a miracle that he survived.
Mr. Mu wanted to say but didn't say it, he really couldn't help but die early!
Because the doctor and his wife are kind people, they are afraid that Mr. Mu will be lonely if he stays alone, so they often come to accompany him. Talk to him and tell him what's going on in the city and how long he will be home.
Mr. Mu doesn't care about anything else, only when he will be able to return home. He felt that every day he spent in the pharmacy was an extra day of suffering.
Why didn't he think that the person he admired was so good, how could no one find out?
Maybe he didn't expect it, but he just didn't want to guess that.
Mr. Mu lay on the bed, silently shedding tears. He was so forgetful that the doctor and his wife found him in tears, but they thought he was homesick, so they brought him good food and fun, and told him stories so that he could be happier.
As the days passed, Mr. Mu's health got better and better. When his cold finally healed, he found that his love heart was gone.
Maybe the doctor and his wife are too affectionate, and Mr. Mu feels happy when he looks at it, so he doesn't want to destroy it.
Maybe he hadn't had time to fall in love with the doctor's wife, but the sudden chill made him mistaken.
As for the truth, who knows?
On the day of farewell, Mr. Mu brought a gift from the doctor and his wife and invited them to go outside the city in the spring. The doctor joked that he would definitely go, and he would have to collect the consultation fee himself. The doctor's wife also said that she would go, and she wanted to learn painting skills from Mr. Mu.
Mr. Mu didn't speak, just laughed. When the rented car came, he put all his things in, then turned his head and hugged the two of them, saying, "Thank fate for letting me meet you." ”
The doctor patted him on the back and joked again, "No, that's probably thanks to the wind chill." By the way, why do you go out when you're sick? I didn't even dare ask you when you were sick before. ”
Mr. Mu slowed down, looked at the snow-melted lake melancholy and said, "I thought I was in love, but ......"
"I later found out that it was just a chill."
