hurt spring

During the day, Di Qiu got the medicine from Aunt Liu and the nurse, and at night the pills were taken in Tu Chengwen’s office. The process of taking the pills is similar, from other people’s hands to his, and then to others’ eyes Through his mouth, tongue, palm, jacket pocket, trousers pocket, the difference is that he sometimes puts the pills in the same palm, sometimes one on each side.

In a few days, Di Qiu paid off the medicine bills owed to all the poker players, the professor learned how to cook soup, Susu’s baby will come to pick her up at No. Some clues came out, he was making a kite in the shape of a dragon with green scales and red horns.

Probably because of the pills, when Di Qiu fell asleep recently, he fell into a deep sleep. He slept in broad daylight, and after lunch, he would go for a walk in the garden to sit and rest. Occupy a bench, sometimes people squeeze him to sit.He smiled and looked at the doctors, nurses, and patients he passed by. Sometimes, they also looked back at him with a smile, and sometimes they just passed by silently; It was dark before he went out.He went to meet with Tu Chengwen, chatting as usual, the things they chatted, over and over again, it was the same.

mother.

Father.

Xiao Ding.

And himself——Di Qiu.

Tu Chengwen asked him, "Who gave you your name?"

Di Qiu said, "My mother got it for me."

"How did you know that your mother took it for you?"

"My mother made one..." Di Qiu smiled at Tu Chengwen, "A friend of my mother's work, an aunt, told me."

Tu Chengwen asked, "Auntie, do you still meet?"

Di Qiu said: "After I transferred to Suzhou, I lived in this aunt's house." He coughed, "Actually, I can't call you auntie, I'm about the age to be my grandmother."

Tu Chengwen nodded, and he said, "You said that Tuchun used to live next door to you, so has he seen this... old grandma?"

Di Qiu was lying on the sofa, with his hands resting on his stomach, holding them loosely, and said, "Actually, he's not that old."

He stopped talking and looked at the ceiling with his eyelids drooping.he will fall asleep.

he will dream.Dreamed of a mountain, hidden behind clouds, covered with a veil of mist, looming, and then, in that cloud and mist, between him and the mountain would grow trees, apple trees, privet trees, plane trees, Banyan trees, ginkgo trees, wisteria, palm trees, and olive trees drilled out of the soil in a daze, and instantly grew into a towering momentum. A small stream passed through the forest, and a ray of wind passed through the branches, and the stream water converged at his feet. The wind also came to him.He saw a thick undergrowth quivering as if something were about to come out from behind it.

Di Qiu woke up, said nothing, and went back home.

Yan Ning would still meet him on the rooftop and give him deliciously fried French fries, chicken nuggets, bittersweet chocolate, alcohol-flavored fudge, and of course cigarettes.

Di Qiu leaned against the fence to eat a cigarette, and stretched out his hand to feel the wind. August is coming to an end, and September is approaching. The wind is still wet and sticky, but it is not so hot. It's shocking.

Di Qiu hugged Yan Ning and said, "I want to visit Xiao Ding's grave. His death day is coming soon."

Yan Ning said, "You make an application, and I'll drive you there. Where is Xiao Ding buried?"

"Mudu. I want to talk to his mother first."

"Do you have her phone number?"

"some."

Yan Ning looked at him: "Do you often contact Xiaoding's mother?"

Di Qiu shook his head, and said: "No, it's just that she hasn't changed her number..." He lowered his head and looked downstairs. There were people walking around like grains of white rice, and tree crowns like pieces of black charcoal spread out in the garden.Di Qiu said: "Actually, I don't know whether she will be relieved or sad when she received my call. I am Xiaoding's high school classmate. To some extent, I have a little memory connection with Xiaoding, but it is because of me. , she lost Xiao Ding."

"It's terrible." Yan Ning squinted at Di Qiu, eating a cigarette, "You'd better get out of the hospital quickly, if you stay for a while, the director and I will be laid off."

Di Qiu took advantage of the situation and asked: "What are you going to do after you are laid off?"

Yan Ning said, "Buy a thermos and go to the securities hall to report every day." He laughed and said, "I'd better buy a few balls of wool and bring them there for beating."

Di Qiu laughed, looked at Yan Ning, his eyes fell on his coat pocket, and asked, "How many are left?"

Yan Ning took out the cigarette case and counted it: "Half a pack." He raised his eyebrows and looked at Di Qiu, "Do you want it?"

Di Qiu licked his lips.Yan Ning said, "Do you want it or not?"

Di Qiu said, "Then give it to me."

"Then you need to find a plastic bag and tie it tightly."

Yan Ning gave Di Qiu the cigarette and lighter, and he said softly: "I'm not Xiao Ding's mother, I don't know what she thinks in her heart, but it's good to have someone to call and contact." He rubbed Di Qiu Qiu's hair, "Even if a person can live alone, he still hopes to hear other people's voices."

Di Qiu thought for a while, and said, "Is it like a wolf who doesn't know why it sees the moon and raises its neck and howls? Then other wolves also howl."

Yan Ning smiled with a cigarette in his mouth, grasped the guardrail with both hands, raised his neck, and yelled with a drawn-out tone.Di Qiu laughed, dropped the cigarette butt and left.

That night, when the game was over at dawn, the professor made some calculations, and Di Qiu actually won two tablets of Prozac from Ah Qing.After everyone left, Di Qiu lay down on the bed. He probably had enough sleep during the day. He closed his eyes and was not sleepy at all.He squeezed the two pills, put them first between the index finger and middle finger, then carefully transferred to the middle finger and ring finger, then between the ring finger and little finger, and then transferred to the palm of the hand, sliding back to the gap between the index finger and middle finger. shallow crevice.The pill rolled around and accidentally fell on the bed sheet. Di Qiu took a look, sat up, touched his chin, took out the cigarette case, stared at it for a while, and then took the cigarettes out of the case one by one. He smoked the cigarette out.He lined them up on the bed.

The lights in the room were not turned on, and the faint moonlight cast in. The smoke was like trees.The two pills were like two moons falling between the shadows of the trees.

Di Qiu grabbed a cigarette, went to the bathroom, closed the door, turned on the exhaust fan, and lit one.

He ate them one by one.

He didn't turn on the light, the power of the exhaust fan was low, and the sound was weak, and smoke soon filled the bathroom, like a forest at the foot of a mountain in a dark night with gentle breeze, overgrown with miscellaneous trees, and completely ignoring the law of symbiosis.

Di Qiu narrowed his eyes. Not far away, there seemed to be a bush. The clouds and smoke were too heavy to make out what kind of tree it was. The leaves were small and crowded together, like small black flowers.

Something is behind the bushes.The branches shivered and trembled because of it, Di Qiu watched carefully.

What is hiding behind that, what is about to come out soon?

Unable to bear curiosity, Di Qiu approached and pushed aside the bushes.

What he parted was a heavy tarpaulin curtain.

It was warm behind the curtain, and a red flame shot up high in the bonfire surrounded by stones, scratching the bottom of a deep iron pot.The iron pot was hanging in the air, shaking it from time to time.A good old lady and Di Qiu looked at each other across the fire and the pot.

Di Qiu said, "Is that you?"

He sat down on the spot and looked at the old woman with a smile: "Long time no see! It must be ten years?"

The old woman had gray hair and pale face, with bright yellow beads in her hair, and a thick piece of red felt was wrapped around her shoulders, which made her unable to stand up straight.She threw something into the fire, and there was a crackling sound in an instant, sparks splashed everywhere, and the fire became brighter.Di Qiu raised his hand to block it, and a burning smell shot straight into his nose. He sneezed, tilted his head, and squinted his eyes. He saw a person lying behind the old woman.

The old lady said, "You're here."

Di Qiu tilted his body, stretched his neck and stretched his neck behind her for a long time, and said with a smile, "I'm not here?"

Lying behind the old woman was a younger Di Qiu who was soundly asleep.Then Di Qiu was still holding something in his hand.

Di Qiu remembered: "Grandma Tian Jing! I stole it from Xiaoding's schoolbag! Hawthorn candy... Xiaoding's favorite hawthorn candy!"

The old woman nodded, turned around slightly, took two bags of sugar from the sleeping Di Qiu, and handed them to Di Qiu.The candy has not been opened yet, so Di Qiu looked carefully, then at the old woman, and said, "You can't buy it now, and the manufacturer doesn't make it."

He suddenly remembered something, took out his pocket, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a series of numbers skillfully.The call was connected quickly, but there was some noise, and the other party's greeting could barely be heard.

Di Qiu hurriedly said, "Hey, Xiaoding's mother, it's me, Xiaodi."

There was a little smile in Xiaoding's mother's voice: "It's you, I thought you should call at this time."

She said: "Every year, the calls come in a few days or so."

"Are you okay?" she asked.

Di Qiu nodded vigorously: "Okay, very good! Are you okay too? Are you in good health?"

"Okay, okay, are your grandma and uncle okay?"

Di Qiu said vigorously, "Okay, everything is fine!"

Xiaoding's mother said: "I don't know how Tuchun is doing recently..."

Di Qiu grabbed the two packs of candy, tightened his hands, and then let go, he looked at the old woman, her face was expressionless.She picked up a wooden spoon and reached into the iron pot to stir.

The light in the tent became dim for some reason, and Xiaoding's mother's voice was also blurred, far away at once.She asked from a distance: "Di Qiu? Are you still there?"

Di Qiu nodded heavily, he laughed out loud, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's so late, isn't it late? Mommy Xiaoding, go to sleep... sleep!"

He hung up the phone, lay down on the ground, and smiled from ear to ear: "Tuchun is real!"

"Grandma Tian Jing, Tuchun is real!" He announced loudly, but then muttered again: "That's so strange! Alas, a person like Tuchun...is actually real!"

He pondered: "Maybe I have a memory bonus for him, just like we look at the photos of movie stars in the 80s now, with a hazy effect. He...maybe not so handsome, and his grades are not so good. Height...maybe It’s so tall, and people are indeed so fun, it’s worth remembering..." Di Qiu bounced and slapped his knee, "What the hell! Anyway, he's real!"

He was full of joy and gasped happily, the old woman was silent, there seemed to be birds chirping outside the tent, beep, beep.

Di Qiu glanced back, turned his head again, and asked the old woman, "What are you cooking?"

The burnt smell in the tent was gone, and a bitter smell gradually rose up.

"Are you sick?" Di Qiu scratched his head, "I don't remember what medicine I took from you when I woke up that day?"

The old woman said: "Return to the soul soup."

"Ah? Can you do anything after drinking it?"

The old woman looked at him, and slowly stirred the wooden spoon: "Didn't you know it all along?"

"Oh, your old man has also learned crafts from Meng Po?!"

"It was boiled from tears." The old woman scooped up a spoonful of hot soup and handed it to Di Qiu.Di Qiu didn't move, and the birds outside sang louder, shrill and sharp.Di Qiu looked back and asked, "Did you hear that? There is a bird calling. It's such a strange sound. What kind of bird is it?"

The old woman said: "Drink it and it will be fine."

Di Qiu looked at her: "What's all right?"

The old woman answered, her lips were obviously moving, but Di Qiu couldn't hear clearly, the bird was singing so loudly that his eardrums were about to be punctured, Di Qiu covered his ears, stood up and opened the curtain of the tent, and walked away. to the outside.

There was smoke everywhere in the bedroom, not to mention the bathroom behind him, and the smoke alarm was beeping and beeping.

Di Qiu reacted quickly, and ran to the living room in a flash, but after thinking about it, he rushed back to the bathroom, covering his nose and mouth.There was smoke everywhere in the bathroom, and I don't know how to make so much smoke, overwhelming, choking and smoky, but there was no open fire everywhere, Di Qiu couldn't stop coughing, and tears started to flow from his eyes in a moment, he groped to the Behind the toilet, I removed the lid of the water tank, grabbed a plastic bag from the water tank, turned back to the bedroom, picked up the watch on the bedside table, stuffed it into my pocket, and ran out.Yanman entered the living room, there seemed to be no walls or windows around, and the outlines of the furniture were blurred. Di Qiu managed to see a bookshelf, rushed over, took out two travel guide books, and kicked the sofa away. , took out a pencil case, put it in his arms with the plastic bag and rushed out the door.

At the end of the corridor, a group of nurses and doctors headed by Yan Ning were rushing towards him.Puff after puff of thick smoke poured out from 702.

Ah Qing leaned halfway out from 703, looked at Di Qiu, folded her hands in a funny way, and asked, "Are you setting fire to the gun?"

Di Qiu sent the things wrapped around his arms to Ah Qing, and when he wanted to say something, his throat felt itchy, so he coughed it out first.A woman rushed out from 704, she was still protecting a child in her arms, and the woman ran to the stairwell without looking back.

Ah Qing curled her lips and wanted to close the door, but Di Qiu waved her hand before she could speak. Yan Ning stepped between the two of them and pushed Di Qiu away from the door of 702: "Are you okay?"

Di Qiu shook his head and waved his hands again, his throat was relieved, he frowned and rubbed his eyes and said, "It's not on fire! I'm smoking!! I don't know how it happened, the smoke is so big!!"

Yan Ning was puzzled: "Huh? Are you smoking cigarettes or firecrackers?"

Tu Chengwen also came over, commanding the scene: "Xiao Yan! Go find a fire extinguisher! Hurry up! Xiao Yao, take the patient away first!"

An elderly nurse pushed Ah Qing to let him into the room: "Okay, okay, there's nothing to see."

Nurse Yao helped Di Qiu to the side, glanced at his embrace, and said, "These are your treasures? Books? Raiders of India, Raiders of Inner Mongolia, and this pencil case..."

Di Qiu shivered, and hurriedly handed all the things he was carrying to Ah Qing, and Ah Qing took advantage of the opportunity to enter the house.Nurse Yao glanced at Di Qiu, her eyes rolled around, and Di Qiu said in a hoarse voice, "I asked Ah Qing to borrow it, I'm afraid I won't be able to return it if it burns..."

He saw that Yan Ning and another young doctor entered 702 with a fire extinguisher and a basin of water.Di Qiu shouted again at the top of his voice: "There is no fire!!"

Nurse Yao held him tightly. Di Qiu looked at Tu Chengwen and gestured, "I'm the one who secretly smokes!"

"How can there be so much smoke? If there is more, the water will be sprayed!" The elderly nurse muttered, she glanced at 704, and shouted to the ward with the door open: "Let go? Let mother go!" ?Are you there?"

She walked to 704, and Tu Chengwen told the other two nurses behind her: "One old man looking for it! What are you looking for?!" (Looking for it together, what are you doing in a daze?!)

After finishing speaking, Tu Chengwen looked at 702 and then at Di Qiu, showing a kind smile.The corridor is full of voices calling for Fangfang and Fangfang's mother.

Tu Chengwen made a gesture with Nurse Yao, reached out to hold Di Qiu, and said, "You didn't set the fire, I know."

Di Qiu wanted to explain, but when he saw Tu Chengwen, he smiled so kindly and gently, Di Qiu also laughed, lost his temper, and didn't say anything.Tu Chengwen led him to the stairwell, and he followed silently.

Tu Chengwen asked him, "Who gave you the cigarettes?"

Di Qiu said, "I stole it."

He pushed open the corridor door, and saw a woman sitting on the steps leading to the sixth floor. She was hugging a child tightly. The child's head was hanging behind her shoulder. A small face was snow-white, and a pair of dull black He stared blankly at Di Qiu.The child appears to be struggling to breathe.Di Qiu looked at Tu Chengwen, and Tu Chengwen stepped forward to pat the woman, and said in a low voice, "Let go of mom, I'm fine, go back and rest."

The woman struggled, and stood up holding the child without looking at anyone.The child suddenly struggled violently in her arms, yelling yelling, the woman got angry, and said fiercely: "Don't make a noise!" (Don't make a noise!)

Di Qiu stood against the wall, and Tu Chengwen said: "When a child grows up, if he doesn't sleep at this time, he won't grow taller in the future."

The woman quickly glanced at Tu Chengwen, her arms were still tightly held, the child closed his eyes and screamed.The woman cried, comforting the child at the same time, with gentle words: "If you want to scream, if you want to scream, mom will take you away." (Don't scream, don't scream, mom will take you back.)

She was still talking, but her voice became softer and softer. She went upstairs and returned to the seventh floor, and Di Qiu could no longer hear her voice.

Di Qiu asked: "Is autism incurable?"

Tu Chengwen said: "One needs to be patient."

Di Qiu smiled: "You need to have some faith."

Tu Chengwen also laughed, and asked Di Qiu, "Where did you steal the cigarettes from?"

Di Qiu said, "Your doctor's office is not locked."

"We can watch the surveillance."

Di Qiu said: "I stole it during the day, and I can hide during the day."

Tu Chengwen scratched the center of his eyebrows, looked at him, and said nothing.Di Qiu twitched the corners of his mouth, but remained silent. He looked out of the window. It was foggy at night, and a few orange lights were swollen and fluffy in the fog.Di Qiu's hand was relaxed by his side, he touched something hard in the pocket of his trousers, he took it out, it was his watch.

Tu Chengwen took advantage of the situation to inquire: "What time is it?"

Di Qiu lowered his head, looked at the watch and smiled, put it on carefully, and it didn't ring.

A group of doctors and nurses searched Di Qiu's room thoroughly, and found more than a dozen cigarette butts, plus two capsules of Prozac.The next day, the exhaust fan in Di Qiu's bathroom was replaced with a high-power one, and the smoke alarm was updated to the latest one on the market.He was grounded.Not only that, but there is an extra spring bed next to his bed-Mother Liu takes care of him 24 hours a day.

Mahjong is impossible.Mother Liu also carefully inspected each of Di Qiu's hospital gowns and each pair of shoes, and she patched all the small holes on the side of the elastic band of Di Qiu's trousers that was close to the flesh.Di Qiu took his medicines and meals on time, and played games and read books when he was free. Ah Qing "lend" him the "Strategy of Inner Mongolia" again, and he didn't read other books. He just read every page carefully Carefully study the Inner Mongolia, grasslands, fat sheep, yurts in the book, and gallop to the sky on a horse.

Aunt Liu was like his shadow, never leaving her every step, greeting and talking to him every few minutes.

"Would you like some water?"

"What do you want for lunch?"

"What about dinner? I ate salt and pepper pork ribs at noon, and shredded beef with onions at night."

"Hey... what are we going to have for breakfast tomorrow?"

"Sit farther away, watch out for your eyes."

"Ah, want some biscuits? Drink some water?"

"Eyes!"

Every morning, noon and night, the nurses would come to deliver medicines and meals, and also come to fetch the clothes and socks they needed to wash.Aunt Liu has a key, and Di Qiu doesn't know where she hides it. In short, every day when there is a knock on the door, Aunt Liu will open the locked door, get medicine and food, and occasionally chat with the nurse , as soon as Di Qiu swung past and approached the door, she quickly closed the door.At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Tu Chengwen would come over. He and Di Qiu talked about Di Qiu's missing family relationship and missing friends as usual. After a few words, Di Qiu became sleepy. He fell asleep, and when he woke up, Tu Chengwen had already left.

That night, Di Qiu woke up and sat on their respective beds with Liu Muma watching TV.A newly launched series, after the opening credits, cut to commercials, Di Qiu glanced out of the window.

Aunt Liu asked him, "Ah, do you want some fruit? There is an orange that I haven't eaten at noon. I'll peel it."

Di Qiu said, "I really didn't want to commit suicide."

Mother Liu smiled: "Peeling off is easy."

Di Qiu yawned, and Mother Liu asked, "Are you sleepy?"

Di Qiu said, "I just woke up."

Mother Liu found the remote control and said, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep and stop watching TV."

Di Qiu said: "Look, watch carefully, otherwise you will be boring."

Mother Liu smiled and turned off the TV.Di Qiu went to turn on the TV again, and turned up the volume a bit. The commercial had just ended, and he stood by the window and yawned. Mama Liu looked at him and dumped a bag of wool on the bedside. He got off the bed, grabbed a ball, and coiled the wool.

Di Qiu said, "I really won't commit suicide."

Mother Liu said, "I don't know how to weave either, I just make pans."

Di Qiu fell silent, opened the window, and the cool wind came in, which was very refreshing. He leaned over and stretched out his hand.Aunt Liu ran over in her slippers, patted Di Qiu's arm to close the window, and kept saying, "Be careful to pull (fall) out! Be careful!"

Di Qiu smiled, but there was no sound, and looked out of the window again, his eyes suddenly lit up, he pulled the window sill, pointed to the ground and shouted: "There is a dragon!! Aunt Liu, look!"

Both of them looked down at the garden downstairs.A dark, dragon-shaped shadow was swimming among the flowers and trees.

Mother Liu looked up, pointed to the sky and said, "Someone is flying a kite."

After speaking, her eyes changed, she protected Di Qiu with one hand, took out her cell phone with the other, and made a call.

Di Qiu also looked up to the sky, and there was indeed a kite floating in the sky. At this time, against the light, he could only see the outline. It had two horns on the top of its head, four legs on its feet, and a tuft of sharp hairs on its tail.I don't know who is flying this kite, and I don't know where to fly it. It flies very high, sometimes passing the moon, sometimes getting into dense clouds, sometimes tossing in the wind, and sometimes fluttering among the stars.

Mother Liu was on the phone and pulled Di Qiu inside. She spoke Suzhou dialect: "It's Ge, I don't know, I'll go to Ah Qingta to have a look, I guess it's not good." She probed into it again. The dragon kite, "I can't tell...or is it coming to the roof of the building?" (Yes, I don't know, you go to Ah Qing's place to see, it is probably him.) (Can't tell, maybe it is on the roof up?)

Di Qiu tugged at Liu Muma's sleeve, Liu Muma looked at him, and he motioned her to look into the garden.

I don’t know when there was another person in the garden, wearing a hospital gown that was washed to gray, and ran straight towards the dragon shadow, dancing and cheering, he ran close, and stuck to the side of the shadow, the shadow went east, He followed to the east, the shadow turned his head to the west, he went west, the shadow pointed and hit a tree, he hit a tree, the shadow ran, he got up quickly, cheering and chasing.He chased the shadow of the dragon, stopped abruptly and walked slowly, crawling and rolling, enjoying himself.

Aunt Liu hung up the phone and said to Di Qiu, "It's Lao Song who is running the kite, you should go to sleep, there's nothing to see."

Di Qiu was still watching, and Long Ying hid in a tree.Lao Song then climbed up the tree—it was the tallest and largest camphor tree in the garden.

Aunt Liu closed the window and urged Di Qiu: "There's nothing to see, let's rest."

Di Qiu was still at the window, through the window glass, he couldn't see Lao Song anymore, only the leaves of the camphor tree were moving.

Learn about Soso.

It seemed that something was about to come out from behind the leaves, from behind the tree.

Di Qiu's heart trembled, he pushed open the window, but still couldn't find the dragon, couldn't find Lao Song, he leaned out half of his body and looked up at the sky, the kite was still flying in the sky, facing the moonlight, Di Qiu I can see clearly that this is a Chinese dragon with a green face and red horns. When the wind comes, it dances against the wind.Crash, clatter, the world is filled with such sounds.

Di Qiu took out his cell phone, switched to recording mode, and stretched the cell phone out of the window.Aunt Liu dragged him in. Di Qiu was still holding his phone and looking out. The night was pressing down on the ground. The dragon shadow finally emerged from the camphor tree, and the whole tree was making noise.

"what!!"

There was a human voice in the commotion, Di Qiu and Liu Muma blinked at each other, and both leaned on the window sill to look down.

There was a man lying on his stomach under the tree, motionless.

Mother Liu screamed and covered her mouth: "Old Song...!"

Her body trembled with her voice.Di Qiu put his arms around her shoulders, and he gently stroked her back.

One after another, people rushed into the garden, like white chess pieces, rushing into a dark field.

The dragon shadow wriggled on the grass, struggled for a while, and after a break, a kite fell through Di Qiu's window. Di Qiu stretched out his hand, but failed to catch it, and a dragon fell from his fingers.It floated to the ground and covered a rose bush.

The wind and trees are quiet, life is noisy, Di Qiu turned off his phone, patted Liu Muma, and said softly: "Let's rest..."

The next morning, when Mother Liu was having breakfast with Di Qiu, she said to Di Qiu, "Lao Song... fell to his death."

Di Qiu didn't make a sound, and ate some pickled melon with white porridge.Aunt Liu didn't seem to have much appetite, she only ate half a bowl of porridge and put it down, she said: "In a few days someone will come over to weld the window railing, come this afternoon to measure the size."

Di Qiu nodded, scraped Liu Muma's leftover porridge into his bowl, and ate it in two or three bites.

After the meal, after taking the medicine and accepting the comprehensive inspection by Liu Muma, Di Qiu went to the bedroom. He leaned against the window and looked at the camphor tree in the garden. There was no one in the garden.Di Qiu glanced at the living room, and Aunt Liu was clearing the dining table.

Di Qiu opened the window, and the wind passed through his fingers, his hair, and his breath.He smelled green, like some kind of unripe fruit, like some withered leaf, like a seed poking out of the ground.

Di Qiu watched quietly.

A man ran into the garden suddenly, he was chasing something, he held a thin string in his hand, and a kite was connected to the other end of the string.It was a snow-white diamond-shaped kite, not common, but very inconspicuous. This man was chasing and flying the kite.He cheered and ran around the garden.

Di Qiu laughed, he jumped onto the window sill, squatted down, and jumped down.

He fell, landed, landed on the grass, and he overtook the kite-flying man.

"Old Song!" Di Qiu shouted, but Old Song ignored him, and Di Qiu ran away. He stepped over the rose bushes, climbed up the camphor tree, poked his head out from the branches, and slipped down the tree again, stepping on the wind. Spinning, running around the building, he ran and ran, and flew up, as if every road in the world was his runway, as if everyone was his companion, he ran chasing a beam of white light, He laughed in the wind.

He turned into the ward building and ran into the stairwell. He hugged Susu on the third floor and blew away the ten-year-old desk calendar on her desk. He ran to Tu Chengwen's office and took it from his drawer. After leaving a box of biscuits, he slowed down, opened the box of biscuits, and passed everyone while eating biscuits.

Nurse Yao was holding her mobile phone in a daze, Mrs. Qian was fighting with Mr. Li in the next bed, an old man was watching the ants, a child was watching the old man, a man came to visit and ate apples silently, and a woman was counting melon seeds.Some people are drawing tarot cards, others are reading horoscope encyclopedias, some are praying to God, some are worshiping Buddha, some are wearing sheets to proclaim God, some are sealing Buddha with seals, and Maria with a golden wig on her head opens her legs to give birth, and the tip of the pillow The horns protruded from between her legs.

The old professor was writing something on paper, and he stopped writing after he wrote the word "to". There were balls of paper on the ground and formulas on the wall. He tore off the paper, squeezed it, and there were more on the ground a ball of paper.He patted himself on the head, picked up a marker and counted on the wall.

Holding a picture of a woman, Ah Qing dipped some paste with a brush, stuffed it into her mouth, smacked it, and hiccupped.

Put it on the pile of blocks, his mother accompanied him, the block fell down, and he hit his head with the block.Di Qiu looked at him, he raised his head and looked at Di Qiu.

Di Qiu ran to the rooftop, climbed up the guardrail with hands and feet, raised his neck and screamed towards the sun.

"Wow!"

He howled like a wolf, squatting like a fox.He let go.

Di Qiu returned to 702, clapped his hands, sat on the sofa, took out a pill from behind his watch, and put it in his mouth.At this time, the door opened from the outside, and Mother Liu came in with Tu Chengwen. When she saw Di Qiu, Mother Liu screamed: "No! He was...not here just now, lock..." Liu Mom grabbed the door panel and turned the lock, "The lock is locked!!"

Di Qiu greeted them with a smile: "Hello, Aunt Liu, and Dr. Tu."

In the afternoon, the contractor who was in charge of welding the window rails came, accompanied by the captain of the fire brigade.Yan Ning brought them in. The contractor's surname was Wang, and the captain's surname was also Wang.Boss Wang took a tape measure, measured the size of the two windows in the living room and the bedroom, tapped on the glass of the window, and said, "Actually, the glass can be replaced, the one that can't be opened normally, anyway, the patients have time to let the wind out. Otherwise, no one would have jumped out of the window in the middle of the night, and no one would have died, right?"

Di Qiu watched from the side and asked, "What about the fire?"

Boss Wang looked at Yan Ning and said, "What about the fire, run out of the door."

Di Qiu said: "For those who are grounded like me, the door is usually locked."

Mother Liu said, "Don't worry, I'm here, and I'll open the door for you."

Captain Wang looked at Mama Liu and said, "I don't recommend jumping from the window in case of a fire. It's so high, you can't do it."

Yan Ning said: "If the door can't be opened, it's best to hide in the bathroom. The towel is wet and the water blocks the door gap."

Captain Wang looked at him with a smile: "You guys did a pretty good job in the safety class."

Yan Ning smiled, Boss Wang stroked his chin, and said, "Ge, why don't you put the safety hammer, the safety glass of Suzhou buses is all made in my cousin's factory, you guys should think about it?"

Di Qiu asked, "Then what if I hit myself on the head with a safety hammer?"

Yan Ning cleared his throat and said, "Go and read a book."

Boss Wang said to Yan Ning, "How about adding a lock?"

Captain Wang said: "Okay, okay, if there is a fire or any crisis, everyone must remember, the first thing..."

Di Qiu quickly said, "Find the key, unlock the safety hammer, and break the glass with the safety hammer."

Captain Wang said: "No, it's to keep calm."

Di Qiu blinked, but there was no sound.For a while, no one answered the page, and Yan Ning came out to smooth things over: "Well, let's go downstairs to the general ward to have a look, Captain Wang, we have now installed a new smoke system..."

A group of people filed out, and Mother Liu closed the door, looked at Di Qiu, and smiled.Di Qiu sat on the sofa, meditated for a while, took out his mobile phone and started typing.

After a while, Yan Ning came back in.When Di Qiu saw him, he said, "I'm packing something, and I'll send it to your email address. You can print it out for me."

"Huh? What?"

Di Qiu just finished typing and sent it directly to Yan Ning. Yan Ning took out her mobile phone to check, and indeed received a new email with the subject line: "To all the directors, all the doctors, I, Di Qiu, apply to be discharged from the hospital."

According to Tu Chengwen, based on many objective facts, he subjectively believes that Di Qiu is not suitable for discharge at present, but based on two objective facts: first, Di Qiu has reached the age of eighteen, and there is no need for a legal guardian to decide his discharge. Second, Di Qiu does not have any tendency to violence or endanger society.In other words, Di Qiu already has the conditions to leave the hospital.So, at the beginning of September, a morning before the sun came out, Di Qiu left the hospital with a leather jacket in one hand, a cigarette in the other, and a cell phone and voice recorder in his pocket.

When he stepped out of the gate, he took a second look at the security room. The security guard was still the same security guard, sitting with his arms crossed, yawning in front of the row of surveillance TVs, and ignored him.Di Qiu smiled, stretched his waist, and walked briskly down the street.

He took a bus on the stone road to the North Square, changed to No. 4, and took the bus from Suzhou to Mudu. When he arrived in Mudu City, he found a flower shop and bought a bunch of flowers. After two hours, I finally came to the gate of a cemetery.He came to see Xiaoding.

The cemetery was built against a mountain, Di Qiu held flowers, walked a few steps, looked up, and climbed up the stairs.

It was still early at this time, and the surroundings were deserted. Looking around, there were only some pines and cypresses except for the gray stone tablets. They stood proudly and hung their heads listlessly.Di Qiu jumped up a step and turned into a flat stone path. After a while, he found Xiao Ding's tomb.Xiao Ding smiles the happiest in the photos of concubine, xiankao, so-and-so's daughter, and so-and-so's dog on the left and right.Among some weeds and rotten melons and fruits, Xiaoding's tomb is the cleanest.

Di Qiu put down the flowers, took out the hawthorn candies from his pocket, and pressed them on the flowers.he
