old love [rebirth]

Chen Lou's life became busier after he finished his Ph.D., and his supervisor paid more and more attention to him. However, he recommended him to go abroad for an exchange a year later. Chen Lou got a passport for the first time, boarded an international flight, and realized that it was daytime before departure. .When I come back after the exchange, my status has risen, and my title has a doctorate.

In the past two years abroad, he has experienced various difficulties such as language barriers and encountering elites again. Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and overcame them one by one, and made many friends.Before we returned to our country, we also held an event. A group of people signed up for a project through a global college student volunteer organization, and went to Africa with several friends from other countries.

The activities of this organization are mainly concentrated in the Asian and African generation. Chen Lou and his party participated in medical and health care projects, so they first arrived in South Africa, then passed through Namibia and then went all the way north.Chen Lou didn't pay much attention to the following sequence. The only thing that caught his attention was that during his short stay in Cameroon, he seemed to meet an old friend.

To this day, he is still not sure if that person is. At that time, the group of them had just witnessed a suicide attack, and they were arranged at the base of a Chinese company when they were in a mess.The condition of this base is considered good. Although it is all iron houses, there is a basketball court in the middle of the base.Chen Lou and a few friends were active on the field for a few minutes. Before they had warmed up, a Chinese person in charge came over and asked that someone was playing tricks on the base.

Playing around means getting malaria. China is regarded as a malaria-free area, but Africa is high in malaria.Chen Lou had prepared the medicine before he came, and he was going to pick it up now, only to be told that the other party had already taken artemisinin and painkillers.Artemisinin has an obvious effect on this effect, but the side effects are also large.Chen Lou was a little worried, so he went over to have a look after he took the things.A friend who happened to be traveling saw him and put on a mask for him.

Chen Lou smiled helplessly, but didn't insist, so he walked into the patient's room crookedly wearing a mask.

The patient was about to lie on the bed, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his skin was dark, but his chin was smooth, his nose was erect and his eyes were erect, he was quite a handsome man.

When Chen Lou saw it for the first time, he thought, hey, the young man looks good.

When I waited for the second glance, I was a little hesitant: Who does this person look so much like?

After running forward for so long, he finally remembered that there was another person who was reborn with him. The two went their separate ways five years ago, but now they are strangers.

In the end, Chen Lou didn't know if it was that person, but when he left the next day, he heard that that person was almost healed, so he drove to Equatorial Guinea early in the morning to see another project.Chen Lou and his party were also anxious to leave, so they left a lot of mosquito repellent and anti-mosquito spray for the compatriots at the base.Chen Lou also gave the person in charge a lot of small pink pills for backup, and wrote down the usage and dosage for adapting to the population, prevention and treatment.

They came and went in a hurry this time, but they didn't expect that who is really that-so-Guan Yu returned to the base again at noon the next day.Originally, he just went to the office on the border of Equatorial Guinea to implement the same thing, but when he came back, he ran into a mother and daughter whom he knew, so he took the other for a ride.

Speaking of which, the acquaintance between him and the mother and daughter was quite dramatic. When Guan Yu set foot on the African land, no matter how prepared he was, he was frightened. Poverty, war, disease, prejudice... Their base requirements at that time It was very strict, no one could act alone, no one could go out at night, the compound of the base was locked at six o'clock, and after nine o'clock the dogs were released in the yard and the power grid of the courtyard wall was energized.

Although Guan Yu asked for an expatriate assignment, he didn't have the consciousness to die for nothing. He stayed in the dormitory every day when he was busy with work, until he suffered from malaria on the way out.

He was alone that day, far from the base, with no one around to call for help.

For quite a long time after he recovered, Guan Yu could not help but ask himself, if he saw a stranger who was ill, would he borrow a car to take him to the base like the black mother and daughter? ?

The answer is no.

Although his family has not been in business for generations, he has been exposed to evil since he was a child. He has a much stronger sense of risk than his peers. His first reaction when he sees similar incidents is indeed how to protect himself and how to avoid revenge.

He once didn't understand Chen Lou's "kindness" and "passionateness". Isn't the crowd of beggars a lack of government assistance?Shouldn't it be the station personnel's responsibility to correct queue jumping?Shouldn't pedestrians ask the traffic police for directions?Strangers lost their wallets and couldn’t go home or go to work. Isn’t there a policeman? He considers himself a taxpayer, and the starting point of everything is based on input and output, responsibilities and obligations.Of course, I didn’t expect that there would always be loopholes in the system, that people would always panic, and that the government would always be unable to catch them...

And if everyone is like him, maybe he just died in a foreign country this time, and the number after "All Years" on the epitaph will not be very pretty.

Guan Yu felt conflicted, so he began to travel around. He saw the villas of the rich, went to the slums of Kibera, followed a team of volunteers to do HIV promotion for two weeks, and went to the slave fort. Back to the door and the small card of "".

He began to struggle to change the values ​​​​formed over the past 20 years, as well as those subconscious selves.

This process is very slow, he has to distinguish one by one which can be smashed and restarted, and which can never be moved.Fortunately, he didn't delay his work after such a toss - he quickly applied to the company to establish his own project department.

The economies of African countries vary greatly, but there are also many rich people.For example, in the capital of Angola, the consumption level has far exceeded Hong Kong and other places for several years in a row.Most of the daily necessities are imported from Europe, and the prices are quite high.Guan Yu discovered it when he was traveling, so he came back and immediately made a detailed investigation report, from market statistics to feasibility analysis, risk estimation... Probably their boss had already had this ambition, and he responded immediately without any delay.

Up to now, this project has already had multiple service points, and after a few years, there are many competent personnel in the department.Guan Yu has been promoted steadily and has become a real project director.If he hadn't insisted on staying in non-compliance, he would have been able to return to China and become a veteran cadre with dry stocks.

Guan Yu sent the mother and daughter back home, and was exhausted when they returned to the base.After chatting with the person in charge here, the other party handed him a box of medicine.

Pink pills, Malaron.Guan Yu had seen Laomei take it before, and remembered that the price was quite expensive, equivalent to RMB 30 per piece, and the dosage for a single person was several hundred. The first-line medicine in the base used artemisinin. Guan Yu was surprised for a while, So I asked the person in charge where the medicine came from.

The other party said, "Didn't the team volunteers come to stay overnight? They gave it to you." Seeing Guan Yu's eyes showing surprise, he smiled and said, "You were groggy yesterday, and the person who delivered the medicine went over to see you." .”

Guan Yu actually had a cold yesterday, so he just took anti-malarial medicine to be on the safe side.But he was really in a bad state at the time, he was groggy and had hallucinations.

The person in charge said with a smile: "You can see that you are from your own country when you come out. Dr. Chen also left a lot of military mosquito repellent ointment for everyone. He said that if he leaves from China, he will bring some for everyone." Refreshing oil and essential oil."

"Well, then keep it well," Guan Yu waved his hand and was about to go back to rest, and after taking a step, he suddenly stopped, frowning and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Ah? I said it's better to be a Chinese?" The person in charge said, "Dr. Chen is still Dr. Lou, and his friends call him Brother Lou..."

He continued to talk excitedly, but Guan Yu buzzed and couldn't hear anything.

There was a doctor surnamed Chen among the group that came yesterday. He had a good personality and left a lot of things for everyone. He showed the workers on the construction site to see if there was anything wrong. field.In addition, he also explained the usage and dosage of the pink pill, how to take it for prevention, and how to take it when you get sick.

The person in charge took out a piece of sweat-stained paper from his trouser pocket, shook it open, and showed it to Guan Yu: "Look, they are all compatriots but they are different, and they wrote it down for us, but the words are not easy to read. .”

A few lines of flamboyant characters, occasionally a few English letters that look like dogs crawling.Chen Lou's calligraphy still hasn't improved after so many years, but Guan Yu just glanced at it, and his eye sockets became swollen and painful. He suddenly raised his arm to cover his eyes, and didn't make a sound.

Only then did the person in charge realize something was wrong, so he looked at him.Guan Yu put down his arm for a moment, took the paper, coughed twice and said, "I know you."

These three words are ordinary and unremarkable, but the person in charge feels that they are so proud.He couldn't help repeating curiously: "You know me?" He asked words.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yu was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "An old friend."

This doctor's order was copied by Guan Yu and left for the base staff, along with those expensive small pills.And he put the sweat-stained, smelly, sour and wrinkled manuscript in his arms, and chased all the way to the destination of the volunteers the next day.

He chased all the way to Botswana, and when he arrived at the organization camp in Zimbabwe along the road, he realized that his route was the opposite of that of the pedestrian.Chen Lou and the others started here. If not expected, they are probably in Kenya now and ready to leave.Guan Yu's things were lost or robbed along the way, and he was exhausted and scarred, but he didn't dare to delay at all, and started on the road again.

However, it was one step too late. When he arrived in Kenya, the other party had already finished his trip and left yesterday.

On the streets of Nairobi, the jacaranda and phoenix trees are colorful, and the petals will fall on the ground in a strong wind, and the cactus and aloe that are one person tall are full of vitality.There are also batches of police officers patrolling with AKs on the streets.

Guan Yu limped, found a step and sat down, thinking: "This place is so ugly, so hot, and so messy."

After a while, I thought again: He didn't start from China, so did he go to study abroad?Is he a doctor now?Are you single now?

When he saw himself that day, did he... say anything?
