daytime firefly

Ten years ago——

"Come on, have a drink."

Xu Zhi was sitting on a rock by the side of the road, and a Jiangling pickup was parked in front of him on the right. The originally durable car broke down, and it was parked in this wilderness dying, coughing without coughing.

"Thank you." Xu Zhi took the water he handed to An Ge, took a sip, and handed it back, but was pushed back by the other party, "Drink, there is still a box in the car."

Only then did Xu Zhi start drinking. He arrived in Zhaojue County yesterday. There are countless high mountains and deep valleys in the Daliang Mountains, so there is hardly any traffic. This morning, he walked northwest along the mountains from the county seat. Abandoned.

Xu Zhi sat here for more than an hour, but thought about going back to Jiangbei nearly a million times.

"Ange,"

"Teachers," the driver of the car was arranged by the county. This time, he sent them to the mountainous area to support education. The uncle was enthusiastic and very excited. Just as he was about to answer Ange, the uncle walked over from the car, "I will give the village Let’s make a phone call first and let them come over to pick up a section, this car is really broken, and we have to ask the county to arrange a car to tow it away.”

Xu Zhi was disheartened when he heard this. In the depths of the mountain, who knows when the people inside will come over, and what will be used to pick them up... Then he thought to himself, when the county town comes, we can follow the car back to the county town. He couldn't stay for another day.

"Uncle, how long will it take for people from the village to come over?" asked An Ge.

"It's almost here, they need to come here for an hour," the uncle said, smiling at them with guilt, and the gap on his face became deeper and deeper, "Then you guys take a break first."

After finishing speaking, he went to make a phone call, but Xu Zhi and Xiang Ange didn't understand what he said. They only knew that he looked relieved after the call, so he asked him to come and sit down for a while.

Xu Zhi didn't expect to wait until evening.

As the temperature dropped, the uncle picked up some firewood and came back to light it, and let them gather around the firewood to keep warm. The fiery red light made the small area of ​​the three of them a little bit abrupt on the mountain range.

The old man took some snow cakes and water from the car, and the three of them ate and waited.

"Uncle, doesn't the government plan to repair this mountain road?" Xiang Ange asked again.

Through the light of the fire, the old man shook his head and nodded again, "It is said that it needs to be repaired, but in the past few years, no one has come."

The terrain in the depths of Liangshan is special, transportation is inconvenient, and construction is extremely difficult, all of which are visible to the naked eye.

"They were born in the mountains," the old uncle said with a sigh. "If it weren't for the dilemma here, who would want their village to be so poor? It doesn't make sense. It's hard for people in the village to see a person all year round." City people like you."

Xu Zhi just listened, holding snow cake in one hand and mineral water in the other.

"Then how did the supporting teachers communicate with the villagers and children?"

"There are also dolls in the village who can understand Chinese, and they will be able to teach them once you teach them. Don't worry about that." After a pause, he continued, "Here are all Yi people. Some people have been trapped in the mountains all their lives. For them, the county town is It’s no different from Beijing, it’s the same distance,” the old man repeated, “Well, it’s the same distance.”

Xiang Ange and Xu Zhi fell silent together. Before they came, they had a general understanding of the village where the teaching support was. It was a place called Puyunshe, with 58 households and 326 people. All the young and middle-aged people in the village were working outside. , and the child, Puyun Society is next to the Guli River Valley, at an altitude of 2300 meters, facing each other across the canyon and the opposite mountain.

Xu Zhi couldn't eat anymore, so he put the snow cake with only two bites back into Xiang Ange's hand, and Xiang Ange squeezed his fingers, "Hold on for a while."

Xu Zhi looked at him, his eyes couldn't tell whether it was resentment or grievance.

A little later, when Xu Zhi was almost falling asleep on An Ge's shoulder, there was a sound of rolling wheels in front of him. The uncle got up and went over, and a horse... a donkey cart came from the direction of the headlights.

Xu Zhi looked sleepily, and an old man got off the donkey cart and hurried over. Xu Zhi couldn't understand what he was saying, and he was in a daze, when another person followed him, a thin one, not short, But dirty teenager.

The child looked fierce, and followed the uncle expressionlessly to take the luggage off the car and put it in a crate pulled by the donkey. After finishing, the uncle came over, pulled the child and said, "His name is Jise Jianming, who can speak Chinese, can be your guide when you enter the village.”

Xiang Ange was talking to the old uncle and the village chief, while Xu Zhi was looking at the fierce man from the side.

After a long time, Xu Zhi asked, "How old are you?"

Ji Se Jianming said calmly, "Twelve."

The three got on the cart, and the donkey took them all the way, Xu Zhi pointed at his face again, "Your new injury?"

"have opinions?"

Xu Zhi stopped, grabbed Xiang Ange's arm again, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "If it weren't for you, I would never have come here."

I arrived at Puyun Club very late that day, and the village head arranged a room for the two of them, a mud tile house, the door was pushed open, a big bunk, the mattress was new, and it looked like it had been specially taken care of.

Xu Zhi was exhausted, lying on his back on the bed, let Ange pack his luggage alone, went to the bed after Xiang Ange finished packing, put one hand on his side, looked down at him like this, "Xu Zhi..."

"Ok?"

"At the end of these two months, we will move out from school, okay?"

Xu Zhi looked at him listlessly, "You want to please me?"

Smiling at Ange, he lowered his body and kissed his lower lip. He intended to touch his lips, but Xu Zhi quickly put his arms around his neck, and the kiss deepened, deeper and deeper, until Xu Zhi breathed out. At Rulan's time, the wooden door was thrown open.

Xiang Ange rolled off of him in fright, and both of them looked at Ji Sejianming who barged in, "What's the matter with you?"

Jise Jianming still looked indifferent, raised the hot water pot in his hand, "Grandpa cooked it, you drink it."

Xiang Ange got off the bed, took it over, and said gently, "Okay, thank you, go and rest."

Jise Jianming didn't reply, looked past him at Xu Zhi, and then left.

"Impolite." Xu Zhi couldn't help complaining.

Maybe it was because Xu Zhi was too tired. When Xu Zhi woke up, it was already 11:30 the next day. Xiang Ange was not there. One household is close, one household is far away.

Xu Zhi resigned himself to taking a deep breath of the fresh mountain air.

"you're awake?"

Xu Zhi trembled, turned around, and Ji Se Jianming stood not far behind him, "Let's go, he asked me to take you to the classroom."

……

Xu Zhi woke up again, on his own sofa, the time showed July 2016, 7, 10:01am.

There were unread text messages from Qi Jingyi and Bai Shengnan on the phone. Before he opened it, he threw the phone away again, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and was about to get up when he felt numbness behind him. Zhou Jianming's face and voice flashed in his mind However, he subconsciously put his hand under his body, touched the back, and found that it was a little swollen, and there were crusts on the skin.

I did it, not a dream...

Xu Zhi turned over with difficulty, lay down on the sofa and grabbed the microphone of the landline. After the call was dialed, it was answered within a few rings.

The other said, "You're awake."

Xu Zhi was startled, "Where have you been?"

It seems that he shouldn't ask such a question, but Xu Zhi doesn't even know why he made this call, what he wanted to say, that we had sex, you did a good job, or that this matter is yours or mine...

Zhou Jianming also felt that he shouldn't ask such a question, as if they were lovers in love, it made people confused. He tightened his hands on the phone, looked at the corpse on the ground for a long time, "When will the next time be?" ?”

After Xu Zhi heard it, he opened his mouth empty, "Eh, you,"

"This weekend, I'll come to you, hang up." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

At the same time, the door was pushed open, and the old lady came in with a bowl of food. She first looked at him, and then at the dead body on the ground. After a moment's pause, she quickly put down the bowl, turned around and closed the door.

The next day, in the morning news, the new CEO of Yuehai Group took office, Tan Xiao, who was only 36 years old, became the youngest leader of Yuehai Group.

In addition, there is a new development in the case of killing Liu Zhendong's family. The police have arrested the suspect Deng, and the police are conducting further interrogations on the suspect.

Furthermore, the suicide case of Liu Xintong was re-investigated by the police.

Xu Zhi turned off the TV, Bai Shengnan asked him to meet today, and he went straight to the hospital.

"How are you these days?"

Xu Zhi sat across from her, playing with the beads on her table, "It's not bad, I slept a few full nights."

"That seems to be better," Bai Shengnan said, "I heard from Qi Jingyi that you have already started working, how are you doing, can you adapt?"

"There is no new case in hand, so there is nothing suitable or not."

Bai Shengnan withdrew his gaze and said while fiddling with the computer, "I'll prescribe you some nutritional medicine."

"Doctor Bai," Xu Zhi acquiesced, and said, "I could still see Liu Xintong before, but I can't see her these days. The morning news said that the police will re-investigate her suicide case. So she didn't commit suicide."

Bai Shengnan looked at him without saying a word, as if he could see into his heart if he kept looking at him like this.

"Doctor Bai, do you think Liu Xintong has something to tell me?"

"Xu Zhi," Bai Shengnan stood up and poured him a glass of water, "Liu Xintong was cremated by his adoptive father the day after the case happened. The public opinion of the 217 case is targeting you. You are under too much pressure, so you will have such hallucinations." , It’s okay, just adjust slowly.”

Xu Zhi hummed, and then limply lay on her desk.

Bai Shengnan was right next to him, looking down at him, feeling that this person was too fragile, and would shatter to pieces at the slightest touch.

She always couldn't help sighing like this, just like when she diagnosed him with mental disorders, she looked at him like this and listened to him——

"Does the agreement between doctor and patient count?"

"Then can Dr. Bai not tell others about me?"

"Doctor Bai, I'm normal."

"Yes, you are normal, so I told Qi Jingyi that there is nothing wrong with you, and I have never treated you as a patient."

Bai Shengnan reached out and stroked the soft hair on the back of his head, "You are never wrong."
