Hunting down the Northwest Wilderness

From Qujiang to Lintong, Liang Xu is so familiar with that road.

In the past five years, he has traveled this road all over, and he has come to his heart. He remembers when the road turns, when tall buildings appear, when there is a tree with a crooked neck, and where to get off the car to buy breakfast. clear.

He didn't deliberately pay attention to the scenery on the road, but the scenery fell into his eyes.He often took the bus with his books—and occasionally took the subway, but it was troublesome to transfer to the subway.Most of the time, he takes the No. 307 bus and stops until the end. On the way, he can study books, have breakfast, and take a nap.

He carried his mobile phone and listened to songs along the way. Like most Maotou youths, he also listened to Cui Jian and his "Nothing".This song has an inexplicable fit with the Northwest, but it is not as desolate as the Northwest in front of me.Most people listen to him because they are young and don't know what to worry about, but Liang Xu thinks he understands Cui Jian.

Cui Jian shouted in his earphones with a hoarse voice like yellow sand, you love me and have nothing.

In his rickety rock and roll Xintianyou, the road is over like that, and Liang Xu is not alone, and he has a lot of luggage, with a dessert in his left hand and a book in his right hand.Because he is tall and handsome, these things don't look cumbersome on him, they are just embellishments for short trips.

The driver laughed when he saw him.

Liang Xu was shy and serious at first, but after sitting too much, he smiled back at the driver.

After getting out of the car, you have to walk a short distance to Qindu Hospital.

Qin Dushan moved many tall pagoda trees from other places according to the local folk customs. The pagoda trees were originally difficult to grow tall, but once they grew tall, they became extremely dense with branches and leaves.Sophora japonica roses are long, and Qindu Hospital is often lingering with the fragrance of Sophora japonica all year round.Even when the flowers are not in bloom, it seems that they have been smoked for a long time, and the fragrance of the blooming season remains in the walls and floor tiles of the hospital.

In the spring and summer the gardens were full of harmless lilies and daffodils, and the gardeners were always walking up and down the lawn, trying to keep the bees away from the sick who were stinging their walks.

Liang Xu is not a person who is good at elegance, but he always feels that Qin Du can change his name to Huadu Hospital.

At that time, Luo Xiaoning's ward was still on the sixth floor. He walked through the largest flower garden, went up a spiral corridor, and took the elevator to the sixth floor.When he went there for the first time, he was actually a little nervous, like a teacher making his debut on the stage—in order to cheer up the teacher, he changed into a white shirt at home, short-sleeved.

Liang Feng unexpectedly looked at him again and again: "Xiao Xu, you look so handsome in such a dress."

Liang Xu ignored him, and ran away without making a sound. Liang Feng was at a loss behind him, thinking how many little girls would be hurt by this handsome boy.He looked at his fat face in the mirror, and shaved seriously—in case his future daughter-in-law came to make a surprise attack, he, as a father, couldn't embarrass his son.

The white shirt was too lethal. Along the way, many nurses looked at Liang Xu and pursed his lips, and some simply laughed: "Little Liang, you look like a star."

Liang Xu was shy from the beginning to the end. When he entered the ward, Luo Xiaoning didn't think anything different about him, because Luo Xiaoning always looked at him with admiration.

Liang Xu was nervously thinking about what to teach in the first lesson—Xiaoning said that he had been to school, which means he could recognize numbers, but it seemed that learning mathematics from the very beginning was not very good, and what Luo Xiaoning needed most was to restore his expressions ability.

He had a strange expectation in his heart, because he always thought that Luo Xiaoning might be the same as him—his experience was so pitiful, and the tea mug he brought at home, as well as his relatives who were not like relatives, were all the same as Liang Xu's now. Families have overlaps in similar ways but with equal results.

It's just that he was lucky and met Liang Feng, and Luo Xiaoning was perhaps unlucky and met Mrs. Luo.

He couldn't directly verify all of this, but he could guide Luo Xiaoning to speak out.

So their first class was to read poems and essays—the first time Liang Xu went there, he didn't bring any Chinese books for elementary school students, nor did he bring math books. What he brought was his own clinical anatomy textbook.He put the book under his buttocks, first taught Luo Xiaoning to sit upright, and then sat on the ponytail in front of him solemnly, with a four-legged stool between the two of them—this is the desk.

Luo Xiaoning was so serious that he didn't even look at the snacks brought by Liang Xu, but just stared at Liang Xu: "Teacher, me, what do I want to learn?"

Good question, you, Mr. Liang, don't know either.

Teacher Liang thought hard, and found a poem from the bottom of his intestines. Li Bai's Quiet Night Thoughts is simply a must-have for children on the bad street.

Liang Xu read this well-known masterpiece word by word with an accent. Fortunately, his tone was gentle, and it really sounded like a school station radio announcer.

After reading, he tapped on the corner stool: "Read with me."

Luo Xiaoning has never heard of this poem, he has only learned goose goose, so he straightened his neck to learn from him.When the patients and nurses outside the corridor heard the sound of books inside, they all laughed with their stomachs in their arms.But in the ward, he didn't waver, and read aloud in a low voice:

——The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground; raise your head to look at the bright moon, and lower your head to think about your hometown.

After reading it more than a dozen times, Luo Xiaoning's mouth became bald, while Teacher Liang was guilty of guilt and was still thinking about how to explain this poem.Luo Xiaoning pouted and asked, "Brother, what does this mean?"

You are making things difficult for Mr. Liang. He is a man of engineering. How can you explain it to him?

Teacher Liang was stubborn, and he forced himself to calm down: "It means—meaning—meaning, the big moon is shining on the head of the bed, and the moonlight looks like frost. When I look up and see the moon, I feel homesick when I look down—I miss my hometown."

The translation is clear, the logic is smooth, and there is nothing wrong with it.

As for the metaphorical rhetoric and synaesthesia, let's pretend it doesn't exist. Li Bai doesn't have a coffin board.

Just at that moment, Liang Xu's rough explanation actually convinced Luo Xiaoning, and also convinced himself——Luo Xiaoning looked at him in rapt attention, chanting over and over again: Bow your head and think of your hometown.

There was no bright moon at that time, and this was not their hometown.

Liang Xu thought, my hometown is in Aling.

The reason why a masterpiece is a masterpiece is not because many people praise it. When so many people mention Li Bai, the first thing they think of is Jingyesi, not because it is simple, but because it is really touching.Its simple and unrestricted poetic flavor casts the moonlight of nostalgia in that sunny ward.Liang Xu, a medical student, felt this ray of moonlight, and Luo Xiaoning, who was mentally handicapped, also noticed it.

Liang Xu suddenly felt tears in Luo Xiaoning's clumsy recitation, Luo Xiaoning saw his serious expression, and gradually stopped his voice.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Liang Xu came back to his senses and blurted out to him, "Xiaoning, do you miss home?"

Luo Xiaoning looked at him blankly: "Think."

"……Where is your home?"

Luo Xiaoning didn't speak, and after a while, he said blankly, "I don't remember."

But he looked at Liang Xu again: "Brother, you miss home."

Liang Xu didn't know if he was really homesick, but he couldn't let go of some things.Luo Xiaoning touched his face: "I want to too."

Liang Xu also patted Luo Xiaoning on the head: "Come learn how to write."

How did Luo Xiaoning see his homesickness? At that time, he didn't think about it carefully. Luo Xiaoning seemed to be born with an animal-like keenness, like a blind person's extra sensitive hearing. His lack of intelligence was all due to intuition. make up.What he is best at is multiple-choice questions, because it does not require IQ, it all depends on knowledge.

Liang Xu felt very surprised. The probability of Luo Xiaoning being caught was terribly high. He honestly confessed to Liang Xu that he didn't know it at all, he just guessed.

God will not treat anyone badly, and the little idiots also have the skills of the little idiots.

I don't know if it was due to this successful teaching, or Li Bai's spirit in heaven couldn't stand it any longer, and every class after that went smoothly.

It's just that Luo Xiaoning's mind is not very bright, and he often memorizes it before and forgets it later. What he just learned yesterday, he asked the next day, but he couldn't remember it.Luo Xiaoning was in a hurry and did a lot of homework behind his back, but when Liang Xu came the next week, he always answered inappropriately.

Except for multiple choice questions, all other questions are all kneeling.

Luo Xiaoning was aggrieved and shy, trying to hold back tears: "I was wrong."

He was really afraid that Liang Xu would get angry.

Liang Xu wasn't angry at all, he just felt sorry for Luo Xiaoning, yes, it wasn't that Luo Xiaoning didn't work hard, everything only showed one problem, that is, his IQ would never recover.

Fortunately, although he is incapable of studying, his self-care ability is improving day by day, and his speech is becoming more and more fluent.Liang Xu thought, this is enough, making Xiaoning look like a disabled person is already a good result.

——It’s just that Luo Xiaoning likes to say "I was wrong", Liang Xu thought strangely, most children are not so used to admitting their mistakes, even real eight-year-olds rarely admit their mistakes so habitually .

What happened to Luo Xiaoning?

He thought about it, and smiled brightly at Luo Xiaoning: "It's nothing, if you can't learn it, just learn it slowly. My brother used to learn things very slowly."

Before, he only taught for one morning, but gradually he stayed for a whole day.Luo Xiaoning followed behind him like a kitten or puppy.Liang Xu went to the cafeteria to get a meal, and Luo Xiaoning followed behind.

Liang Xu deliberately teased him: "Did I use your meal card?"

Luo Xiaoning seemed to be born with a special understanding of the world, he nodded vigorously: "You eat meat."

The two of them ate in the cafeteria and also learned the etiquette of dining - Luo Xiaoning was really smart about this, he only taught it once and never forgot it.Yes, he is naturally smart in terms of manners, and he knows all the rules.Liang Xu taught him to sit upright and eat with his mouth shut, to handle the chopsticks and spoons gently, and to take the food close to his eyes—this was what Ru Yuzhi taught him at the beginning. Ru Yuzhi was a real Shanghai lady. Teach your son hard.Now his son has come to pass the torch to teach others again.

Luo Xiaoning quickly learned to be elegant and reasonable, and the two of them ate like an advertisement, a big gentleman and a young gentleman, a young and handsome pair, sitting there like a living signboard of "civilized dining".

The two of them took a nap in the ward after lunch.Originally, Luo Xiaoning could sleep on the hospital bed, but Liang Xu lay on the table next to him for a while, but Luo Xiaoning refused to go to bed and insisted on lying on the table with Liang Xu.

Liang Xu couldn't hold him back, so he let him lie on his stomach.Tiao An leaned against the window, and the sun shone in, turning both of their faces into tomatoes.

I don't know which time it was, Liang Xu fell asleep halfway, and when he opened his eyes, Luo Xiaoning was peeking at him.

Liang Xu opened his eyes, but Luo Xiaoning closed them in fright.

Liang Xu then pretended to be asleep again.

Luo Xiaoning furtively opened one eyelid, feeling that Liang Xu really seemed to be asleep, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he mumbled: "Dad."

Liang Xu jumped up in fright.

Luo Xiaoning also jumped up.

"—what are you calling me?"

Luo Xiaoning stuttered in fright: "No, I don't know."

Pricking Lao Tie's heart, Liang Xu was angry and laughed at the same time. He twisted Luo Xiaoning's face: "How can I be your father? What are you thinking?!"

Luo Xiaoning actually learned to talk back, he flattened his cheeks and said, "Then you are the best to me."

"Being good to you can't be dad!" Liang Xu couldn't laugh or cry to this little fool: "I want to call you brother!"

"Oh."

"Oh boy, call me brother!"

Luo Xiaoning leaned back on the table, he also felt that he had fallen asleep stupidly, father was not good, and the title of elder brother was more appropriate - although he didn't quite understand where it was appropriate.

Liang Xu also lay down on the opposite side of him, and the two looked at each other with tilted heads like poodles. Liang Xu knocked on his forehead: "Hurry up, call brother."

Luo Xiaoning taught him to look with eyes like stars and moons, and suddenly became timid.He turned his head away and snorted like a mosquito:

"……elder brother."

This cry was soft and soft, the tone was sweet and hoarse, with a bit of sleepiness from a nap, a bit of familiar carelessness, vaguely, like the daffodils downstairs popping open buds .

Liang Xu looked at him silently, the room was very quiet, many bees were driven into the air from the lawn by the gardener, they buzzed to the high place with the stolen honey, lightly, They lie on the glass.

The windows are open, so the bees don't come in, only the summer wind with the fragrance of flowers comes in.

"Call again," he said.

Luo Xiaoning obediently called out again: "Brother Xiaobing."

Liang Xu buried his face in his arms and laughed to himself.

Life is just like that, he is a student on the one hand, a teacher on the other hand, and also has to serve as a godfather who never admits to death, his life is extremely fulfilling.

During this period, a senior from the same department confessed to him in a big way. She is a well-known goddess in the department, so she attaches great importance to her pursuit of condescension. She organized the entire sister group to cheer.

Of course, Liang Xu didn't agree, but felt that the senior sister's eyelashes were also very long, which reminded him of the Qindu Ward, which was full of flowers.

From the moment he woke up the other party, his life seemed to be suddenly saturated with color, and some things that he didn't pay attention to, couldn't understand, and didn't bother to care about suddenly poured in.

His refusal to his senior sister was also very soft, he used to simply say "no", and this female senior sister received unusual preferential treatment because of her eyelashes.

It was not easy for Liang Xu to refuse her face to face, so he invited her to have a meal with the sister group. Before the banquet started, he stood up respectfully and sincerely:

"Senior sister, you are beautiful and nice, but I don't want to fall in love." He said, "If you don't dislike me, we can be friends."

After thinking for a while, he added: "But I won't be your boyfriend, not now, nor in the future. When I say being friends, I definitely don't mean to hang you."

The goddess is a goddess after all, she didn't get angry, she just looked at Liang Xu with her chin for a while, and smiled pretty.

"I said, Junior Brother Xiaoliang, you can't be the one, right?"

The sister group next to her was not angry either. When the goddess said it, they all laughed.

Liang Xu didn't understand, so he asked, "What is that?"

The goddess came over coquettishly: "Do you not like girls?"

Liang Xu didn't know what was going on with him, but he suddenly turned red from head to toe.

The sister group laughed, "Forget it, it's not hard for you." They said, "For the sake of Haidilao, I'll spare you, we have a lot of people chasing after us, so you're not bad, don't regret it in the future. "

Liang Xu thought about the words of the goddess senior for a long time, but he didn't want to understand the logic.The brother said to him: "Huang Qianqian is so beautiful and good at studying, the only ones who don't like her are gays."

After a while, the senior brother probably realized that what he said was inappropriate and let Liang Xu lie on the ground, so he immediately changed his words: "Oh, she can't catch up with you, so she will find a step for herself."

Liang Xu's straight male brain can't turn so many turns, but he still thinks that the senior is very good. After two months, the senior also agreed to the pursuit of others, and they were together sweetly.

Liang Xu still studied, went home to boxing, and went to see Luo Xiaoning on weekends or when there was no class.

During the blooming season, bees are circling around the city of Chang'an, busy gathering honey.

For a while, he didn't listen to nothing.He still likes Cui Jian. Somehow, his title song has changed and replaced with a new tune, with a brisk tune, playful and enthusiastic.The song sang happily:

You took me into your flower room, and I couldn't escape the fragrance of flowers.

I unknowingly forgot...the direction.

Greenhouse girl.
