Dashan's wedding

When I woke up, my eyes were white.

I struggled to sit up, hiss, the pain all over my body was really uncomfortable.

I looked around, um, probably in some hospital ward.

By the way, why am I in the hospital?

"Squeak."

The door was opened, and there was a short-haired girl in a white coat - damn, isn't this Lei Ge!

"Are you awake? Is there any discomfort?"

"My whole body is sore... My head hurts too... By the way, this is what you did! Why throw me into the river if I have nothing to do! And aren't you a forest ranger! Wear a white coat and pretend to be a doctor!"

"Huh? You're dreaming! And I'm a doctor. I just graduated from a medical school! What kind of ranger is inexplicable! If you wake up and feel that there is nothing serious, come over and have a checkup with me!"

I'm confused... dreaming?

In a daze, I followed Lei Ge to the second floor of the hospital for a physical examination. The attending doctor was an older man, who kept educating me while reading the report.

"You two are really good! The car overturned into the big river! Fortunately, the co-pilot's door slammed and the two of you floated out and didn't drown in the car directly. When the elementary school students who went to school in the morning found you two, you two were floating in the car. On the river, the little girl was terrified by the blood all over her body, so she hurried back to the village to summon the adults to save her, you two should thank the little girl, you know!"

The car overturned into the water?The little girl saved us?We obviously turned over on the dirt slope where Xiangyang Village entered the village!Dashan rescued us, and we also attended Dashan's wedding!Then...then was thrown into the river by this doctor named Lei Ge!

I tried to explain to the attending doctor, but the old man looked at me strangely, and the doctor who looked like Lei Ge frowned and said to the nurse next to him, "Take him to the psychiatric department for a checkup, I suspect his brain is broken. "

I was taken to the psychiatric department for a brain examination and various cross-examinations all afternoon before I came to a conclusion—neurasthenia due to fright, everything else was normal, rest well.

Then I was pressed back to the bed in the ward to lie down and rest.

It was a few days before I saw Lei Ge again, and she came to handle the discharge procedures for me.

"You're fine, but your back and arms were scratched by broken glass. I've already sewed up the big ones for you. Just go back and get more nutrition; your friend has a little bit of blood. It's more serious, a few ribs are cracked, but it's not a big deal, just take care of it."

I looked at the slender cuts on the arms, like the marks of wicker whipping; and looked in the mirror to see the needle holes on the back, like being pierced by pine needles.

I rushed to the next door to see my second brother. The second brother was still asleep, the hospital gown was open, and his chest was covered with bandages, like layers of vines tightly bound his chest...

Is this really just a dream?

But everything in reality showed that it was just a dream.

During the time when my second brother was recuperating in the hospital, I went to Xiangyang Village alone.

Gray tile-roofed houses and yellow mud houses intersect each other, and a few chickens or a few noisy mud children pass by from time to time on the muddy path.

It is completely different from Xiangyang Village in the dream.

It seemed that it was a dream.

I went to Dashan's house, and then I saw Dashan's portrait.

I couldn't believe what I saw, but the facts that Dashan's parents choked with tears made me believe it.

Dashan is dead.

Five years ago, the only teacher at the rural elementary school where Dashan used to attend died of a heart attack. The new support teacher from the county thought it was too remote and poor and ran away for a month without persisting. Dashan resolutely gave up. Looking forward to the planned life of making a living in a big city, I came back to this mountain and became a rural teacher.

Or...and gave up our chance to be together.

Two months ago, a heavy rainstorm caused the river to swell. Dashan died in the Daming River not far from Xiangyang Village in order to save a drowning child.

Every year during the flood season, people drown in that river.

That is the river where my second brother and I overturned the car.

According to the rules, unmarried young people are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave after death. Dashan's parents thought of using a yin marriage method to let Dashan enter the ancestral grave after they died... So they discussed with the parents of a daughter in a neighboring village who accidentally drowned, and gave Dashan With a marriage.

Everything is true and confusing.

When I got back to the hospital, I told my second brother everything, saying that we could no longer tell whether what we experienced at the Dashan wedding was real or just the same dream we both had.

But we both felt like we had to do something.

My second brother and I returned to Xiangyang Village with the savings we had accumulated over the past five years. We planned to use the money to build a bridge over the Daming River.

A big and strong bridge.

When we heard that the bridge was going to be built, it wasn’t just Xiangyang Village. Folks from all over the world came here. Those who were not busy in farming came to smash and move rocks, and those who were usually busy also sent rice, vegetables, and eggs to support us.

According to them, building the bridge is for the benefit of future generations, and it would be embarrassing to ask us two foreigners to pay for it. They should do something for future generations anyway.

Even the engineering team hired in the town only asked for a cost price.

On the day when the bridge was cut, there was a strong wind on the river. We knew that it was Dashan who came to see the bridge, and he was happy.

In the future, no one will drown in this river.

The new teacher in the rural primary school is a very responsible and enthusiastic young man. He promised us that he will persist in educating the children well, so that the children in the mountains can go out to see the outside world.

After everything was done, the two of us thought about it, bought some things and went to the county hospital to visit Brother Lei. After all, we knew each other and saved us, so we should visit him.

We went to the county hospital and asked, "Is Dr. Cao Lei there?"

The doctor on duty said that Dr. Cao resigned and left.

"Go! Where did you go?"

"I don't know, she didn't tell us."

"You guys are working together anyway, you don't know where she went?"

"Doctor Cao has only been here for less than two months, and everyone hasn't gotten to know her well. By the way, you two are the ones who got into a car accident. Doctor Cao said it when he left. If you two come to her, say Don’t miss it, have a good time.”

What the hell!

My second brother and I vaguely felt that Lei Ge was a little weird, and it was probably the breakthrough point of the whole thing!After inquiring about the name of the medical school she was studying in, she rushed over without stopping, wanting to see who she really is.

However, we found that there is no such person as Cao Lei!The medical school has no profile on her!

Everything is fake.

Who is she?

Was the time when we attended the Dashan wedding really a dream?

We struggled for a while, but finally let go.

Whether it is a dream or a reality, those who leave have their lives to live, and those who are alive also have their lives to live.

A few years later we also had a wedding.

No best man was invited, the position of best man was reserved for Dashan.

everything is fine.Don't miss it, live a good life.

The author has something to say: It's over hahaha!

Finished in one breath... Actually, I originally posted this article on Tianya, and then I felt that the writing was not in place and deleted it.

However... I feel that I still don't know how to write emotional scenes.

Hey~ Take it easy.
