eyes outside the box

"The environment here is really good, with mountains, trees and water."

"Pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and see Nanshan leisurely. Build a hut here, cultivate a field, and you can live a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset."

"Come on, if I throw you here, you won't be able to run away."

……

As soon as they arrived at the destination, the students began to look around, and couldn't help but sigh.

Duan Jiuze also looked casually, then looked away.On the other hand, Yang Bowen, who was next to him, kept dragging Duan Jiuze and said excitedly pointing everywhere.

Duan Jiuze's heart was not here, and Yang Bowen didn't pay much attention to what he said.Although Yang Bowen had forgotten about the episode in the morning, Duan Jiuze kept pretending about it.

At that moment, the sudden white mist, Duan Jiuze was sure that he was not mistaken.But obviously, Yang Bowen didn't see everything in his eyes, but just felt that he was suddenly dazed.The most important thing is that the white mist dissipated instantly after Yang Bowen called himself, and those buildings and people who walked around also returned instantly.

Duan Jiuze looked at Yang Bowen who was pulling him, thinking about whether Yang Bowen had any important connection with this white mist, or with himself.

Seeing Duan Jiuze looking at him silently, Yang Bowen scratched his hair curiously and asked, "Is my hair messed up?"

Duan Jiuze shook his head, looked at the waving arm of his group leader and said, "It seems that preparations have begun."

It was the first time for the students to have a picnic, even with the group leader present, they seemed to be in a hurry.

Duan Jiuze took the initiative to take the job of washing vegetables, and walked to the water's edge to wash vegetables silently.

Yang Bowen seemed very excited to sign up for chopping and frying vegetables, but because there were quite a lot of people who wanted to chop and fry vegetables, one person could only be responsible for one dish.Yang Bowen was in charge of the tomato and egg drop soup, which was at the end. He had nothing to do at the moment, so he habitually looked for Duan Jiuze.

"Zeze! You are here! I just told the team leader that I want to make tomato and egg drop soup, and the team leader agreed. Do you want to make a dish too?"

Duan Jiuze seemed to pause for a moment, then turned to look at Yang Bowen with complicated eyes, but did not answer.

Yang Bowen looked at Duan Jiuze strangely, not understanding what was going on.

Duan Jiuze didn't want to explain either, but just put the washed vegetables into the vegetable sink, stood up holding the basin, and prepared to go back to the group to wash other vegetables.

Duan Jiuze had never been very talkative, so Yang Bowen didn't care about it.He just kept talking in Duan Jiuze's ear about his excitement about the upcoming cooking.

Although Duan Jiuze didn't respond, he was listening leisurely at the moment.

The two just talked one by one, and the other listened and walked to the group.

Duan Jiuze walked for a while with his eyes lowered, and suddenly felt that the ground seemed to shake?He turned his head to look at Yang Bowen, but he didn't seem to feel anything at all, and he was still watching the people in the passing groups cutting and cooking vegetables.The others didn't feel anything at all, and they were still doing their own things in full swing.

After walking a few more steps with Yang Bowen, Duan Jiuze thought that maybe his nerves were a little tight and he was hallucinating.

However, the next moment, Duan Jiuze's pupils shrank uncontrollably!

what did he seeThose classmates and teachers who got along day and night became ethereal like smoke, and the upper half of several people's bodies was connected to the lower half by a wisp of smoke, while part of the surrounding environment was fading away.

Duan Jiuze immediately turned his head to look at Yang Bowen, but he heard Yang Bowen's voice getting closer, and finally put his backhand on his forehead, and said worriedly: "Zeze, are you sick? What's the matter? Why are you distracted again?"

Duan Jiuze grabbed Yang Bowen's hand violently, and his chest heaved as he breathed.

This really frightened Yang Bowen, he quickly pulled Duan Jiuze to look up and down, and kept asking Duan Jiuze if something was wrong.

"What's wrong with Duan Jiuze?"

A classmate next to him was a little frightened when he saw Duan Jiuze like this. He quickly put down his work and approached him to ask about the situation.

Only then did Duan Jiuze look around, and found that everything was normal, there was no tugging like smoke and mist, the trees were still green as they should be, and the withered yellow, the stream was also flowing from high to low, and everything was real, real Duan Jiuze was startled.

"What's wrong with Duan Jiuze? If you feel uncomfortable, rest on the side, this is not flat ground, it will be bad if you fall."

Over there, the leader of Duan Jiuze's team also came over. Seeing Duan Jiuze's chest rising and falling, he seriously suggested that Duan Jiuze rest.

Yang Bowen was grabbed by Duan Jiuze with one hand, and put the other hand on Duan Jiuze's shoulder. Hearing what the team leader said, he nodded immediately: "I will accompany him. I am worried that he is not in good condition alone, and there is no one else." Discover."

The team leader naturally nodded repeatedly, and there was no disagreement.

Duan Jiuze kept holding Yang Bowen's hand, walked to the side with Yang Bowen and sat down. After a while, he calmed down and let go of Yang Bowen's hand.

"Zeze, are you feeling unwell? Did you also feel unwell when you stopped suddenly this morning? Have you talked to Mom? What about the physical examination?"

Duan Jiuze shook his head slowly, and replied in a low voice: "It's okay."

Yang Bowen didn't believe it, Duan Jiuze grabbed his wrist with great strength, and his chest rose and fell too much when he breathed, he didn't look like a normal person at all.

"Zeze, don't shy away from medical treatment. No matter what you feel uncomfortable, tell me and Mom."

Seeing Yang Bowen's eager look, Duan Jiuze smiled softly: "I also learned to use the idiom of avoiding disease and avoiding medicine, which is not bad."

"Zeze! I'm not kidding you!"

Duan Jiuze froze for a moment, Yang Bowen's serious expression and angry tone told him Yang Bowen cared.Duan Jiuze suddenly lowered his head to look at Yang Bowen's wrist. The blue and white red marks on his left wrist looked shocking.Realizing that his gaffe just now had indeed frightened Yang Bowen, Duan Jiuze also felt guilty.

"I'm sorry, Wenwen. I'm...actually fine just now. Maybe it's because I squatted down and washed vegetables for a long time, so I felt dizzy. If you're still worried, I can find a time to do a checkup."

Yang Bowen nodded, and added: "I'll tell Mom when she comes back, and we'll go together when the time comes."

Duan Jiuze naturally did not dare to refute.

There was nothing wrong with the picnic after that, but the food was really not that good... The rice was raw, some of the dishes were undercooked, some were overcooked, and they were all burnt.Occasionally there is such a well-fried dish that it is too late to put down the chopsticks, and the dish is snatched away.

Fortunately, Duan Jiuze didn't expect to be really full at noon, so he didn't go to other groups to eat and eat like other people in the group. Instead, he opened his backpack, took out biscuits and mineral water, and Yang Bowen shared the food - although occasionally someone would come to rub the biscuits.

Generally speaking, the students were very happy on the day of the picnic. After all, they didn’t have to attend classes on this day, and they could also experience the fun of cooking for themselves. The rewards were not small.Of course, it would be more perfect if the Chinese teacher didn't ask everyone to write a composition related to this picnic.

When returning home on the weekend, Duan Jiuze finally took out the notebook and wrote down what happened on the picnic day.

After finishing writing, Duan Jiuze stared at it for a long time, hesitated for a while, and then focused on circled three words - Yang Bowen.

Duan Jiuze didn't know what Yang Bowen had to do with his repeated rebirths, but it was because Yang Bowen returned to normal twice on the day of the picnic, which couldn't be concealed.Is Yang Bowen a special existence?Is it special in this world, or not just this world?Or, is Yang Bowen related to his rebirth again and again?

There is no answer.

The words Duan Jiuze recorded were like a shackle of words one by one. Not only did they not help Duan Jiuze solve his doubts, but they piled up more and more, drowning him.

Those common characteristics - white mist, seem to be taken literally, without giving Duan Jiuze any clues to the answer, just an endless blank.

"Zeze, why did you write the words, and you still have to turn the pages and continue to read the blank pages?"

Wearing pajamas, Yang Bowen entered the room with two glasses of milk. He glanced at the blank paper in front of Duan Jiuze, puzzled.

Duan Jiuze took the glass of milk and didn't answer for a long time.

Yang Bowen didn't care, he put the cup of milk on the desk, wiped his mouth, and went to bed.

Duan Jiuze took the cup to the kitchen, washed it and put it away, went back to the bedroom, turned off the light, lay on the bed, and didn't fall asleep for a long time.

"Wenwen."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"On the day of the picnic, you were just in a daze when you saw me, didn't you?"

Yang Bowen didn't answer right away, he seemed to be remembering, and he said after a while: "You were talking about the morning, but you just froze for a moment, and suddenly stopped moving. If you are walking back, you are talking about the water's edge. It seems that you took a deep breath suddenly, and I saw that your chest rose and fell a lot. Then you grabbed my wrist very hard. I was really scared at the time, thinking that your health suddenly became ill or something. Hey, mom is back Don’t forget to tell Mom that I’m going to have a physical examination and I’ll be with you too.”

Duan Jiuze responded with a "hmm".

In the dark night, the two brothers lay on their respective beds without speaking for a long time.Just when Duan Jiuze thought that Yang Bowen was asleep, he heard Yang Bowen say in a low voice, "Zeze, no matter what happens, don't carry it alone. My mother and I are your family."
