Mingren don't talk about secret love

At four o'clock in the morning, Xia Jiujia and Xia Yonghe left CC together to go to far away Africa.The visa has been processed long ago, and two shots of vaccines have also been given.

The two of them spent New Year's Eve under Mount Kilimanjaro.You can see the white snow on the equator, looming, hidden in the clouds.

The town is called Moxi, in Tanzania, the name is very nice.Xia Jiujia's father was an old acquaintance with the people in the souvenir shop, so Xia Jiujia asked him to take him shopping.

Xia Jiujia worked very hard, chose for a long time, and finally decided on "Tanzanite", a blue gemstone. The "Heart of the Ocean" in "Titanic" is this kind of stone.

Clear blue, the middle is close to black, very deep.Not big, one carat, originally priced at $480, but because of Xia Yonghe, it was reduced to $240.

Xia Yonghe was a little surprised when he saw his son spend hundreds of dollars in the "little treasury" and asked, "Who do you want to give it to?" His son has always been very smart and independent, so he never asks the other party to hand in bonuses and so on.

Xia Jiujia pretended to be plain: "Give it to the tablemate, Shen Xi. Come to Africa and bring some specialties."

"Oh." Xia Yonghe knew that the two of them were close, so he didn't interfere, and felt that $240 was still acceptable.

On the first day of junior high school, two people went up the mountain, starting from the gate at more than 1600 meters, to the Machame camp at more than 2800 meters, and to the Shira3800 camp at more than 2 meters on the second day of junior high school.Then, because they did not carry out targeted exercises, the two turned back and turned down the mountain, not planning to go to the real and false peaks of about 5800 meters.

The two began to visit the national park on the fourth day of the lunar new year.For the sake of safety, tourists generally need to join a group, and it is difficult to rent a car by themselves. However, Xia Yonghe is a tour guide, knows some local companies, and successfully rented a small car for the road.

Entering the park, it was very desolate at first, and then there were animals.

The first to appear were monkeys and baboons.

Xia Yonghe said: "Look at the backpack."

"???"

"Someone in the hotel trains them to rob property."

"..." Xia Jiujia took a picture, and kept all the words in his heart, planning to go back to show Shen Xi, and then talk about something special.

The journey was relatively easy, Xia Yonghe never stopped, just drove slowly, letting Xia Jiujia observe from the co-pilot.Xia Jiujia frantically took pictures with her camera. There were giraffes, antelopes, wildebeests, and zebras...

Suddenly, Xia Yonghe stopped the car completely and said, "Lion."

"???"lion?

Xia Jiujia looked carefully along Xia Yong and his index finger - sure enough, the lion was quietly lurking in the depths of the grass, slowly approaching the antelope, waiting for a good opportunity.However, at this time, an adult African elephant came from a distance.When drinking water, it prefers to stay alone and not be disturbed, so it drives away the lion and antelope. The lion can only leave with its tail hammering, but the antelope doesn't know that it has escaped.

"Let's go." Xia Yonghe said, restarting the car.

After walking for a while, a big battle suddenly appeared in front of us!A lot of cars were parked on the road, and Xia Yonghe joined them.

The reason is very simple - there are dozens of African elephants passing by together.They are worthy of the title of "King of the Grassland", and their momentum is astonishing, and the earth trembles when they pass by.

Then, I don't know how the tourists in the first few cars angered those elephants, I saw one of them passing slowly, blocking the front car, and began to hit.

The car was very high, with an open hood, and the shoulders and heads of several people were exposed outside. When the body shook, everyone screamed!The car was almost knocked over, but fortunately the elephant was not very persistent, turned around and left after a few strokes.

"When you see the elephant staring at you, lowering your head, and flicking its nose forward, run quickly." Xia Yong said softly.

"Got it." Xia Jiujia thought it was amazing.

There are also animals such as crown cranes in the back.Occasionally there are no animals, only endless grass and a few single trees, the loneliness and thickness are very moving.

It was night when we returned to our residence.

They live in a log cabin, in the sea of ​​flowers.In fact, Xia Yonghe has almost never led a group through Africa since he came to this travel agency. However, he does not know how to do the most basic things such as food, housing, and shopping, and he is still able to handle them with ease.

When approaching the hotel, Xia Jiujia and Xia Yonghe saw a little girl riding a bicycle.Many nearby hotels offer additional services such as renting bicycles for guests to get around.

It happened to be a big downhill, and it was dark all around, so the little girl on the bike carefully squeezed the brakes and rushed down.

"Dad," Xia Jiujia said, "slow down, drive behind her."

Xia Yonghe: "???"

"Here are all dirt roads, uneven, full of holes, use the headlights to help the girl show the way."

"Yeah." Understanding what his son meant, Xia Yonghe slowly cast a dim yellow light with the headlights, and said in a low voice, "You are really like your mother, you can always see these things."

"..." He also looks like his mother.

The father and son didn't expect that, because the lights were dark here, and suddenly seeing someone following behind them, the little girl was so frightened that she suddenly accelerated and wanted to escape!

Xia Jiujia Xia Yonghe: "..."

But after only a few tens of seconds, the little girl came to her senses, slowed down the car again, and made a "thank you" gesture.

A car and a bicycle, just like this slowly going downhill, there is a tacit understanding between the two.

However, just as the big downhill was about to end, the little girl's bicycle hit a round stone and fell with a "bang"!

The voice was very loud, Xia Jiujia just watched his whole heart thump and his knee hurt. Without much hesitation, he took out the disposable iodine gauze and ointment from his backpack, pushed the door and got out of the car.

He took out a copy, tore open the outer package, took out the neatly folded piece of thin gauze dipped in yellow iodine, handed it to the girl, and taught her how to use it.

"Thank you..." She was talking to Xia Jiujia while treating her wound, "Are you Chinese too?"

"Yes, from CC." It's very strange, because there is LL city in LL province, and people in CC city always say the name of the city, not the name of the province.

"Ah," the other party continued, "I'm from Tianjin."

"Good place."

After chatting, they found out that they all lived in the same hotel not far in front. Xia Jiujia helped the other party push the cart and sent them back to their residence.

When she could see the cabin, the little girl asked, "Can you add... add a WeChat account? I met you here, it's very fate... just... just make friends."

Xia Jiujia was slightly taken aback, feeling something, and said, "I'm sorry, my family is still working in KFC to make money, so I feel guilty for adding someone on WeChat here."

Although Xia Jiujia was joking, the little girl was still embarrassed. The two said goodbye, waved, and went back to their respective cabins.

There is no wifi in the hotel, but Xia Yonghe has a phone card that can use data.Xia Jiujia borrowed it to type and chat with Shen Xi who was still working in China.

He sent one by one the animals he took in the car during the day, taking one or two photos of each animal and not taking one.

Shen Xi had never seen some animals before, so she asked Xia Jiujia directly, and Xia Jiujia explained one by one: [This is a hyena... This is...]

Then I will talk about what my father told him: [The lions didn't eat anything in February.They mainly eat wildebeest during the Great Migration, which is a feast, and now the grass is so tall that it is very inconvenient for them to go out to hunt. 】【These leopards are quite hungry too...】【There are not many flamingos left, and they are giving birth this season... Yes, the lake is full of flamingos not now, they will wait until after summer...】【Crocodiles... ...]

They chatted for a long time, and finally, Xia Jiujia clutched the quilt and asked casually: [Among these animals, which one do you like the most? 】

It took more than a minute before Shen Xi sent back a photo with a red circle mark added by the APP, saying: [I love this one the most. 】

"???" Xia Jiujia looked at it and found that it was taken after retracting into the car and snapping back the top cover. The photos were of giraffes. There were two of them, and they were very large. , only yellow-green grass.This strange picture was created because Xia Jiujia wanted to frame two of them at the same time.

But what Shen Xi framed was somewhere in the middle.A red circle with nothing framed, blue sky in the upper half, yellow grass in the lower half, animals all outside.

Afraid of making a mistake, Xia Jiujia carefully observed the circle and found it was still empty, so she asked: [Giraffe? 】

Shen Xi said: [No, look inside. 】

【Nothing at all. 】

【Have. 】

Xia Jiujia brightened up the photo, looked at it again, and finally found a shallow, illusory reflection there—the reflection of herself holding a SLR camera on the car window.

Shen Xi said again: [Other things are forgotten after looking at them, there is no favorite or least favorite.Only this is different. 】

"..." Xia Jiujia twisted under the quilt twice, not knowing what to say.

[Dong Bao,] Shen Xi asked again, [What are you going to do tomorrow? 】

[Go to another national park, called... Forgot, my dad used to lead a group to visit, and I want to revisit the old place. 】

【good.What about the day after tomorrow? 】

[It is said that it is to take a hot air balloon. 】

【It sounds interesting. 】

[My dad's scheduled activities shouldn't be wrong. 】Xia Jiujia said, 【Shen Xi, good night. 】

【Good night. 】

[Frozen Treasure. 】Before the chat ended, Shen Xi suddenly said, 【When I was accepting orders at the front desk of Kenken and at the cashier, I always thought that the other party didn’t know that I had a very, very good partner... In this way, I always felt that I am superior and different from others, but the other party is stupid, doesn't know, and thinks I'm just an ordinary front desk. 】

The second in R, the grand prize of the Science and Technology Innovation Competition, the shareholder of the start-up company, all identities are inferior to this "someone's boyfriend" in his opinion.

"..." Xia Jiujia said, 【You are the one who is stupid. 】

【Oh……】

【Sleep. 】Xia Jiujia knows that some people have two completely different qualities, which are both contradictory and fused.However, he also didn't know whether Shen Xi's "two completely different qualities" were the only ones in this family—smart and stupid.

There is an alarm outside the cabin.At night, if a small animal appears, the hotel will set off the alarm.One is a hyena, two is a rhino, three is a lion, and four is an elephant.

At about two o'clock, a rhino came, but Xia Jiujia didn't get up, so she covered herself with a quilt and continued to sleep.

…………

The next day, Xia Jiujia and Xia Yonghe went to the national park again.

Not long after entering the gate, they encountered a broken down car.

At first glance, it was actually three compatriots, Xia Jiujia and Xia Yonghe looked at each other, invited each other to get in the car, and asked the local driver to stay where he was and wait for the company to tow the truck.

The five naturally chatted while swimming.

Xia Jiujia was surprised to find that the other party was a doctor from Doctors Without Borders!They are on a long-term mission in Africa, and they took time to come to the national park to enjoy their eyesight.Among the three people, one is an obstetrician, one is a surgeon, and one is a nurse. They provide primary medical care, routine vaccinations, prenatal and mid-natal care, and other medical items in health stations and mobile stations. They said that there are Other colleagues are responsible for viruses and infectious diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis B and C, and tuberculosis.

They said: "There was a severe drought in 17 years, many wild animals and domestic animals died, malaria and other diseases were rampant. I came here at that time, but I never had time to come to the national park."

Xia Jiujia was stunned: "Oh..."

With the in-depth conversation, Xia Jiujia had a targeted understanding of the doctor experiences of the three people.

One of them had experienced Yemen air strikes.

His tone was sad: "At that time, there were too many wounded, and triage had to be carried out as soon as possible. I checked the wounded and tied a bandage on the arm. A yellow bandage means that the situation is not serious, you can wait, and a red bandage means that life is on the way." Lost, must be rescued, and the black bandage...indicates that there is little hope, and it is recommended to give up. I have to make a decision after watching it for a few seconds. I...to this day, I still remember...the black bandages I tied one by one The look of hope in people's eyes when they see the doctor arrives...sometimes they wonder at night: Are all my decisions really correct?"

Seeing him like this, the other two colleagues began to commit suicide to comfort him.

There is another one who has personally experienced the war in Sudan.

"Once, the refugee camp we were in was very dangerous. The project manager said that everyone has parents and children, and he can understand. If you are afraid, you can leave on the small plane that delivered the supplies and go back to the country immediately. At that time, we all felt that we must be with at least Several colleagues said goodbye and went to the tarmac. As a result, the plane landed, unloaded supplies, took off again, and no one left.”

The last one, worked as an obstetrician in several poorer African countries.

"Last year I was in Sierra Leone," she said. "Women died in childbirth 1 in 8...those girls are so young. And, in the culture, women's status is very... hey, it's almost like a reproductive tool, and sometimes it's hard to save each other, But she felt that it would be better to die without a womb... So we felt so stupid, while trying our best to keep the uterus. Because, even if they are infertile, they will feel that there is still hope."

Xia Jiujia heard many stories along the way and came into contact with this niche group for the first time.

It made him want to record it.

Before, he didn't seem to feel this way.

He used his mobile phone to search for a long time and found some in-depth reports, but after reading it, he felt that most of them were superficial, unlike himself, who chatted for more than ten hours, mastered a lot of information, and had a lot of feelings.There are also some, although very deep, but there are always things that you just know, but the other party doesn't know.

He kind of wanted to tell everyone the part of "he just knew it, but the other party didn't know it" as a story, and he didn't want them to hide quietly in the gap of time.

Back at the hotel, he was pushed hard by a strong urge, opened Word, and typed a total of [-] words, describing the content of the conversation during the day, using the personal experiences of the three doctors as the main line of the article, seeing the big from the small, doing his best Best effort to represent the group Doctors Without Borders.

After finishing writing, he posted the article to his circle of friends.Xia Yonghe has a public account, which is mainly related to travel, introducing scenic spots in various countries, and talking about travel matters... Xia Jiujia posted there, and then transferred to Moments, saying: [A little knowledge, written by myself.Borrow someone else's account to post. 】

In just the past ten minutes, he has received many likes.Last year, Chinese teacher Yu Zhongshan also commented:

[Excellent literary talent. 】

Shen Xi forwarded it immediately and wrote: [I will always love my deskmate and always support my deskmate. 】

When Xia Yonghe saw it, he immediately transferred to his circle of friends, and at the same time his tone was a little proud: 【Written by his son who is still in his second year of high school, about Doctors Without Borders. 】

Because he has to be in the same group every time, there are many people in his circle of friends.In less than an hour, there were a lot of messages:

[... High school sophomore? ? ? 】

[As an internet writer, I have to say that my writing style is much better than mine...]

Beside this there is:

[This is the first time I know about this special profession. 】

【I just learned that China also has Doctors Without Borders Orz...】

【Mom...】

【I admire...】

Holding Xia Yonghe's phone in his hand and looking at it, Xia Jiujia felt... a little satisfied.
