Running Snail

The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

The weather in the small fishing village is indeed hotter than in the city. The mosquitoes in the overgrown area are almost infested. Wei Nan wore shorts and went out to wash his face. In less than five minutes, he was bitten by a row of terrible red packets on his leg. , This is a poisonous mosquito, very terrifying, one bite, the big bag instantly stands up.

After returning home, he hurriedly applied toilet water on his legs. Lu Shuang gave Wei Nan the bottle of toilet water. I still remember Lu Shuang spraying toilet water in the bathroom when I saw him at the beginning of the year. Wei Nan laughed at him, "No amount of perfume can conceal the smell of your body", but the toilet water is quite useful. Mosquitoes fly around the landing, but they dare not. Close.

Is it because Lu Shuang's aura is too strong and mosquitoes are afraid of him? Why is it that I have painted myself now, but the mosquitoes are still attacking from different angles like a fighter jet, slapped one to death, sucking blood and happily?

Wei Nan wore a pair of long trousers and a long-sleeved T-shirt. When he went out, he felt that his whole body was hot as if it was about to evaporate. Yuan Yuan next to him was also wiping sweat. What's more terrifying is that he had to be in such a horrible state. In the weather, put on that white coat.

Soon, the medical staff arrived. The free clinic was set up in the open space in front of the village committee office. When Wei Nan and Yuan Yuan arrived, the plastic canopy had been propped up there, and there were long tables one after another. , On the table are some information such as registration forms. It's quite spectacular from a distance.

When they arrived, they started working. Wei Nan and Yuan Yuan were in charge of sitting in the No. 1 position for physical examinations. With nervous expressions, they amused Dr. Liu who was next to him. Dr. Liu smiled and said, "The first time you participated in this kind of activity? "Wei Nan nodded, "Yes." Dr. Liu sighed, "There will be more opportunities to go out for a walk in the future, young people, do more while you are still warm, and you will be too lazy to get older when you are old. Experience more. You only understand that it’s not easy to do any job, and it’s important to have a clear conscience.” That person’s words were gentle and smiling, Wei Nan and Yuan Yuan, as juniors, listened to his words, they only felt emotion in their hearts, nodded and said yes. .

One morning's work was quickly completed. After a short break, the villagers were inspected in the afternoon. The hot sun was scorching. Looking at the smiling villagers in the long line, Wei Nan and Yuanyuan gradually relaxed.

Until dusk, the village chief said that some nearby residents had mobility problems and were too old. It was not easy to line up on a hot day. Could you please send a few young doctors to visit? Fei Teng obliged to agree and prepare the medicine box. To go on the road, Yuan Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "I'll go with you." Despite Fei Teng's eyes, he followed him cheeky.

Yuan Yuan has now evolved into a kind of creature called a follower.

Wei Nan was idle alone, so he picked up his stethoscope and went with him. It was only halfway there that I suddenly realized that I made a light bulb, but the strange thing is that although the two are now lovers, they rarely talk about nasty love. Basically, they are in the same line and discuss the heart of the human body. .

Quite speechlessly, Wei Nan followed them to the designated farmhouse, knocked on the door and went in for an inspection by an old grandfather, and then changed to another one after leaving some medicine.

The farmhouse here is a bit dilapidated, the walls made of loess are uneven, and there are even cracks in some places. The furnishings in the house are very simple.

After walking a few houses, the three of them felt a lot. When it was almost the last one, Wei Nan was about to knock on the door, but suddenly saw a young woman coming out of the next door, splashing a basin of water under the tree, and then back again. In the room.

In an instant, Wei Nan and Yuan Yuan froze in place.

Fei Teng asked inexplicably: "What's the matter?"

Yuan Yuan pushed Wei Nan: "Su Minmin, am I dazzled?"

Wei Nan smiled stiffly, and whispered softly: "It's indeed...it looks like it."

Looking through the open door, the house is slightly better than the surroundings, at least the house is newly built, but the yard is still desolate. Because of the rain a few days ago, the stagnant water in the yard hadn't dried yet, and there were mosquitoes flying around. The woman was clearly Su Minmin, her delicate eyebrows were still as moving as ever. It's just that she was a lot thinner than before, her hair was shorter, and her skin was tanned, but Wei Nan and Yuan Yuan recognized her at a glance.

The flower of the Chinese Department of T University, even though the image is a little downright now, the unique temperament of her body is still there.

At this time, the sun had not yet set, and the scene in the courtyard was faintly clear. Wei Nan and Yuan Yuan met once, turned sideways, and looked carefully into the courtyard——

An elderly man was sitting on a wooden bench in the middle of the yard, and Su Minmin squatted down to wash her feet. The yellow and scarred feet formed a sharp contrast with the girl's beautiful hands. At that moment, they suddenly became extremely harmonious. Su Minmin's movements were very gentle, and her slender fingers slowly rubbed the old man's instep.

There are many scars on the old man's face, like the gully formed after being washed by heavy rain, hideous and terrifying. The yellowed skin has lost its elasticity, and it wraps around like dead wood. The wrinkled hand was trembling slightly, and he gently stroked Su Minmin's hair over and over again, as if he was afraid of damaging the most precious baby, so light as to make people feel distressed.

"How can I cut my hair? My Xiao Min's hair is so beautiful."

Su Minmin chuckled softly: "Being busy with work and hot weather, I cut it if I don't bother to take care of it."

The old man sighed slightly. Her eyes were kept open, but her pupils had long lost focus. A discerning person knew that she was blind.

There was silence like this. For a long time, there were only the slight hum of fingers moving in the water in the silent yard. When he finally finished washing his feet, Su Minmin put the washbasin next to him, moved a stool to sit down, and leaned gently. she was.

The old man said: "Silly boy, I don't want to wear so little, I am not afraid of peeling off the sun."

Su Minmin smiled and said: "After the sun is off, new ones will grow."

The sun was gradually setting, and the light was faint, and the old man's face was no longer clear, but in the voice, she seemed to be smiling.

"I heard the girl next door say that my Xiao Min is so pretty, and my mind is the best."

Su Minmin was silent for a moment and whispered, "Grandma, don't praise me. Although I am beautiful, I have a bad heart. I lied to many people and did a lot of wrong things. They still said that I was a poisonous snake behind my back."

The old man said earnestly and earnestly: "If you do something wrong, go and admit it to someone. As long as you are sincere, they should always forgive."

Su Minmin nodded, "I know."

The old man continued: "Is that Ah Heng really so good to you? I don't really believe him if he is really good to you. If he is really good to you, he should marry you back soon. For so many years. Now, every time you come back, you say that you have found a good man and that he loves you very much. Why don't you see him come to see me?"

Su Minmin was silent.

The old man began to cough violently. The coughing sound made by the old voice seemed to have a heart-piercing pain. After coughing, he put his hand on her shoulder and patted it gently, "Xiao Min, grandma is afraid that it will not work. My old lady still wants to see my grandson and son-in-law. I guess there is no chance..."

Su Minmin interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Hehe, I have been ill for so many years, and I know it in my heart. I want to see you kids for the last time if I drag someone to call you. I didn't expect you to come alone. Alas, your brothers and sisters, your work is really busy." The old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face shrank into a ball. After a long time, he gently touched Su Minmin’s hair. “The thing that is most worrying about Grandma is you. You can meet a good man like Ah Heng. Blessing."

Su Minmin was silent for a long time, and then smiled: "Don't worry, he has always been very nice to me. If he wasn't busy lately, I will come to see you with me this time. Getting married is just a matter of time, so I will definitely invite you to come. Have a wedding wine."

"I still don't worry, I always feel that you are talking nonsense. You made up that Aheng to deceive grandma, right?"

"Don't worry, how could I lie to you."

Su Minmin raised her head, her face was already full of tears, and her lips looked pale in the moonlight.

A gust of wind blew the branches and leaves, and creaked the wooden door.

Su Minmin wanted to get up and close the door. When they saw Wei Nan, the expressions on their faces changed a little. They walked straight to the door and whispered: "What a coincidence, it's you." Su Minmin changed his face faster than the sky. Shang quickly squeezed out a smile, although it was really ugly. She glanced at the white coats of the three of them, and smiled: "It's a free clinic, right? I heard about it, but I didn't expect you to come too."

Wei Nan and Yuan Yuan looked at each other, but couldn't find a suitable line.

Su Minmin looked at Feiteng, and after a moment of silence, he asked softly, "Can you help me?"

Fei Teng said, "Please speak."

"Lend you five minutes to pretend to be Xu Zhiheng, so that my grandma can walk more easily." After Su Minmin finished speaking, seeing Fei Teng nodded, he pretended to smile and pretended to be relaxed: "Why are you here? Busy?"

Yuan Yuan pushed Fei Teng, Fei Teng understood, and walked to the old man in the yard, and said softly: "Grandma, I am A Heng, I am coming to see you."

After that, everyone was silent for a long time.

I saw tears in the eyes of the old man with excitement, and the tears from the blind eyes dripped like beads on the back of Fei Teng's hand, like boiling water. Her trembling hand fumbled and grabbed Fei Teng's hand, the cocoon in her palm rubbed the back of Fei Teng's hand, and she tirelessly said those dying commissions over and over again.

"I thought Xiao Min had been lying to me just to give me peace of mind. I didn't expect it to be a blessing for this kid to meet a good person like you... My Xiao Min, although his temper is not very good, but his nature She's very good, she's a good girl, please take care of her and be considerate of her. Please take care of her." The old man grasped Fei Teng's fingers as hard as he was holding a straw, and the sound from his throat was old, dry and dead. Tears kept falling in her eyes, "It's so good that you like her... so good..."

"Don't worry, grandma." Fei Tengran held her hand, pressed it tightly, and said softly, word by word, "I will treat her well."

The old man nodded, his hands full of calluses, and finally, gradually dropped.

A full moon hung in the sky, reflected on her face, very peaceful.

That night, Su Minmin cremated the old man's body and buried his ashes under the big banyan tree in the courtyard.

Su Minmin wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand, and said to Fei Teng: "Although I don't know your name, I really, thank you very much."

Fei Teng nodded, opened his mouth, but tolerated what he had said.

Su Minmin turned to Wei Nan and said, "Go back. I will come to you tomorrow and I have something to tell you." Wei Nan was about to speak, but was interrupted by her smile, "Let me be quiet tonight."

After the three of them went out, there was a faint cry of crying behind them, the voice seemed to suppress too much emotion, and it seemed particularly desolate in the middle of the night.

The next day, Su Minmin found it in the evening, and took Wei Nan to a nearby pond to stop.

After a year of absence, she has indeed changed a lot. Unlike the previous beauties who were in the shape of a small bird, she is now thin and slightly darker, with less squeamishness and more mature charm than before. The long hair she was proud of was also cut off by her, but the short hair showed a bit of skill.

She smiled at Wei Nan in the sun, her smile as bright as ever.

"It's been a long time. You look mature and feminine." Su Minmin laughed.

Wei Nan also smiled and said, "So are you, more beautiful than before."

"Okay, let's stop talking about each other." Su Minmin said softly, "How is this year?"

"I have been working in the hospital for an internship after graduation. Life is quite peaceful." Wei Nan paused, "Where are you? Where did you go?"

"I went to the northern school for a year of internship, and I taught Chinese in elementary schools."

Wei Nan smiled and said: "That's good, remember not to write too fat, my elementary school Chinese teacher writes too fat, I am used to splitting Chinese characters."

Su Minmin smiled, and then went to the main topic after a while: "I am looking for you today, what I want to say is naturally about Xu Zhiheng, you should have guessed it a long time ago."

Wei Nan still looked calm, and said lightly: "Let's talk."

"Xu Zhiheng is Qi Juan's half-brother, do you know?"

Wei Nan was silent, and after a long time, he whispered softly: "He never told me about his own affairs. Xiaojuan actually kept it from me for so many years?"

Su Minmin smiled lightly: "Actually, they are really unlucky. They met such a father. You know that Qi Juan had a very hard life, and Xu Zhiheng was not easy. My mother was a third party who robbed someone else’s husband. The husband who came here is not a good thing, and he has been disliked by his half-sister as a murderer for so many years. When he was very young, his dad took him to those smoky places without asking him if he wanted it. When he grew up, his dad kindly sent him women all day long. In fact, most of the photos he showed you were fake, and he was not that unruly." Su Minmin sighed lightly, "He loves you very much, maybe , This is the only thing he feels happy since he was little."

Wei Nan didn't speak.

Su Minmin was silent for a long time before whispering: "I used to be immature to ruin you sneakily. Now since you know his hard work, maybe, when he gets rid of that terrible father, you can be together. I don't want to intervene anymore. ,I am tired."

After a long silence, Wei Nan smiled and said: "I have put down the past, and you don't have to mind too much. The things you take away will not belong to me." After a slight pause, "So, you don't He must be pushed to me. You love him very much, don't you?"

"Su Minmin, who loves him very much, is past tense." Su Minmin turned to look at Wei Nan, curled up his mouth and smiled softly, "Actually, that person was not my grandmother yesterday. When my parents were busy with work, they put me in foster care. In the country, her grandma did not have children by herself, but raised several children. But those guys disliked her, they only paid for her to build a house and hired a nanny to take care of her. No one wanted to take her. Picked up to live in the city. I was the youngest. I wanted to find a place to teach in the country and then pick her up after graduation. I didn’t expect that she called me when she was dying this time. Her eyes are because of I was blind. The long scar on my arm was cut by a branch after I was blind. I was very naughty when I was a kid, haha, it caused her trouble.” At this point, I had a slight pause, and I was stunned for a long time.

"Now that she is dead, I have no worries. I will sign up to teach in the frontier first, and then make plans after three years."

Wei Nan was silent for a moment, and asked softly: "Are you really carefree?"

Su Minmin smiled and said: "There is also a little girl I rescued when I was in the country. I plan to adopt her. She is so cute. My mother said it looked like me when I was a kid. Your free clinic will be over in a few days. If there is a chance after the city, I will show her to you."

"So young, why suddenly want to adopt a child?"

"Because, like my grandma, I can't give birth by myself." Su Minmin smiled, turned his head, and said calmly.

Wei Nan fell silent, listening to her soft voice ringing in her ears.

"I don’t think it’s okay. A woman is not a child-bearing machine, but my mother cried for a long time after knowing it. Xu Zhiheng didn’t know about this. I lied to him that he was pregnant and he believed it. Hehe, he’s actually pretty good, right? You can fool him with a text message on April Fool's Day."

Wei Nan nodded slightly: "Yes, it's a good trick."

Appearing in front of him with an anxious look is distressing and cheating. He always pretended not to care about anything, but the worry in his eyes easily revealed his emotions. Xu Zhiheng is a person who is extremely indifferent on the outside but gentle on the inside.

Su Minmin also smiled, "On the surface, he was dragged to death, his mouth was bad, his temper was bad, but his heart was really good. You should know where you are in his heart, and get him back. I think he handles the old Those things about Dad should come back too."

Wei Nan looked up and asked, "Are you really planning to leave?"

"Ok."

"Can you let it go."

"of course."

"Then why, laugh so ugly?"

After a moment of silence, Su Minmin raised her mouth slightly, and said plainly: "I can hardly laugh in front of you. There is no way. I am jealous of you. Without you, he might be tempted by me. I have paid for him. So many, I have been in my best years, but only you are in his eyes. Xu Zhiheng's name was used to deceive grandma, deceive herself, deceived for so many years. Now, he has nothing to do with me."

Having said this, he stopped suddenly, as if to escape from something, suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.

A **** setting sun on the horizon gradually fell from the horizon, and finally restrained the last ray of light spilling into the sky.
