Chapter 29 - Finding a ray of life
Nanshan’s eye sockets are deep, but his eyes are very shallow, and his emotions are always clear.
When he said this, his dark eyes were full of anticipation, expecting to be wrapped in the panic that was derived from it, and it was all kinds of flavors, but there was no persecution alone.
Sometimes there is no sound, no sound, no persecution is the biggest persecution, Chu Huan just looked at it, and felt out of breath.
Suddenly he lay on his back on the grass-yellow ground, the lingering odor of the earth permeated through the mud, as if there was a haze that turned from light to dark all year round, and only the lilac flowers that just bloomed were on his side It reveals a slightly sweet fragrance like an illusion.
Chu Huan did n’t answer Nanshan ’s question, but asked: “Since you all ca n’t get out, why would you want someone to teach Chinese?”
Nanshan was silent for a while: “I hope that one day the tribes can leave here, take a look at the outside world, take a ride on your subway that runs faster than a horse, fly to the sky, and try again. Something. This piece of landscape is too small, and it will always be tiresome to look at it from generation to generation. “
Chu Huan: “How to do it?”
“I don’t know, think of a way.” Nanshan said, and then he added, “Maybe I can’t die until I die, but I think I always give time to others before I die, hope, or other What clue. “
Chu Huan refused to believe in “accidental” and “miracle”, Nanshan did not take it seriously, so he casually asked, “Is there no hope even after death?”
Nanshan paused for a moment. It seemed that he heard a Chinese vocabulary of uncertain meaning. After pondering for a while, he looked back at Chu Huan’s eyes and asked seriously, “Isn’t” hope “referring to something in people’s hearts? Will it? “
Chu Huan was shocked.
Suddenly he didn’t want to correct Nanshan’s mistakes, nor did he want to tell him that the words “hope” could be nouns or verbs, with different usages and different meanings … because he thought this statement was really beautiful.
If this is the case, people probably will not lose hope?
Chu Huan narrowed his eyes and looked directly at the sky that had become obscure because the sun was sinking. After a while, he said: “Sometimes, some things are too difficult, and people do not see the possibility of success. Of course Will be disappointed. “
“Yes,” Nanshan said. “But even if I can’t succeed, wouldn’t it be great if I find out this possibility?”
Chu Huan was speechless.
If you finally have no ability to turn the tide, do you at least find a chance to live a life?
Suddenly moved in his heart, he was dizzy for a moment, and he couldn’t help tempting a sentence: “Do you want to keep me?”
Nanshan was stunned by a sudden question.
Chu Huan’s words fell short, and he immediately regretted it. He felt that he had asked more questions and made himself affectionate.
Even if a person’s face is as thick as a city wall, he is always embarrassing to be affectionate. In the unexplained ignorance of Nanshan, he barely squeezes out a smiling face, just about to make a haha to embarrass himself. After passing by, I heard the other party say: “The main reason is not this.”
The corner of the mouth raised by Chu Huan stiffened, and the smile on the corner of the eyes disappeared, and the smile became a bit bitter.
…… Sure enough, it is still affectionate.
In fact, Nanshan just nodded.
The idea of ”Chu Huan will stay forever” suddenly gave him an indescribable joy, and he would be attracted by the people from across the river.
But Nanshan hesitated for a moment, but he still held back. He remembered that when he talked to Chu Huan about this topic several times, Chu Huan would bypass it lightly. So for no reason, people probably do n’t want to stay?
Nanshan awkwardly picked out the appropriate words and tried to sort them into a reasonable and well-founded sentence: “After the shock period, the mountain gate will reverse, and when we reach the side of the gate, we will enter a very difficult period. This is what we said. ‘Winter’. In fact, you should have discovered that we don’t have the concept of ‘spring, summer, autumn and winter’, we don’t look too cold when it is the coldest, and it is not too hot when it is the hottest, just listening to you The leaves will fall out in winter, so I used this word-in ‘winter’, you will find that Mutai is actually not a very ferocious thing. It is very dangerous here. You are too weak to accept the blood exchange ceremony and it will be much safer. . “
The body is too weak … too … weak …
Chu Huan hasn’t tasted the fullness of bitterness from the perception that “I really am self-assertive”, and Nanshan spared no effort to make up for him.
It’s really good.
Chu Huan choked for a long while, and teased angrily, “Then I can become a copper bone? Three heads and six arms? Wear underwear, or a few more brothers with flowers and pierced grass skirts suddenly?”
The signal that Nanshan was always running away, at that moment, unexpectedly met Chu Huan unexpectedly. He unexpectedly heard the sour taste in Chu Huan’s words.
“I don’t mean that, Ankaraye said you are very powerful, but your body is really bad, generally this kind of injury,” Nanshan murmured Chu Huan’s knife wound on his arm and explained in a huff, “We will rest for a long time Healed, you still have to take the medicine for a long time, as if there is more blood flow, don’t you feel it? “
Feeling too few platelets?
Chu Huan raised an eyebrow: “Yeah, I’m a faceless person who can wear a branch.”
Nanshan was stunned first, and then an expression of bad things was found: “How do you know? Who told you?”
Chu Huan squinted at him for a moment, and suddenly grabbed Nanshan’s elbow and lifted him back. Nanshan didn’t have any precautions against him.
Chu Huan tilted his head slightly and suddenly smirked: “Are you afraid of itching?”
Nanshan: “Uh?”
Facts proved that he was afraid, Chu Huan locked his joints, pressed him to the ground, crunched the majesty of the patriarch, swept the ground with sorrow, evasive, breathless, and cared about Chu Huan ’s arm injury, he did not dare to struggle, blame Grieved indulging Chu Huan, his hair scattered, looks like a big girl how to be treated.
Not far away there was a crisp cry from the bare treetops: “Yeah, the bobcats are fighting!”
Chu Huan raised his head and saw Hua Gu Duo covering her little classmate’s mouth, and fled without looking back.
Chu Huan: “… Unlucky boy, your family has bobcats.”
Nanshan was surprised: “You understand? I thought it was Ankara Yehu.”
Chu Huan shrugged and released Nanshan.
Nanshan didn’t get up, only fingers moved.
The harmonica hanging around his waist suddenly issued a long, layered chant. Chu Huan looked at Nanshan’s wrist lying flat on the ground and froze.
With the slight flick of his fingertips, the invisible air flow continued to flow into the fine pores of the piano under the command of Nanshan, and a string of notes, although a little stiff, was consistent and precise.
Nanshan: “This is what my dad exchanged for blood, and he passed it on to me.”
Chu Huan immediately thought of the RMB near the county station, Nanshan beckoned lightly, and then remembered the wind arrow spitting out by the crazy dog Mutai from the river.
This is even different from bullets, they are silent, with inestimable strength and precision.
Nanshan can use it to play a soft tune, and of course he can puncture him without warning.
Chu Huan remained silent for a long time, sorted out his messy shirt and sat down on the side.
He rarely has such a straight face. In the impression of Nanshan, Chu Huan is a kind of easy going person who is almost a little bit drifting. He is lazy, and everything can pass and pass. There is little curiosity and seriousness.
Then he heard the rare and serious Chu Huan said lightly and clearly: “No.”
This answer exceeded Nanshan’s expectations. He almost didn’t react and subconsciously asked: “Why?”
“I can’t do what you want.” Chu Huan crossed his arms on his knees, reached into his arms and touched them, and found that the smoke was gone, which was probably handled by Nanshan as a harmful item. .
“If I know that I will die tomorrow, or next month, even if I speak a little longer, and die a year later, then I promise you nothing, but how long will a person live? Maybe I will go out tomorrow In case of any accident, Gam Bong will take a break, and may not live like a tortoise king. For decades, no one knows what will happen, since I do n’t know what the future will be, of course. It ’s impossible to give you a lifetime promise, and it ’s a lie to you if you give it. “
Nanshan muttered silently.
Chu Huan: “As for whether it will be frozen, am I still normal? When you find out that I am not normal, just drag the black guy and give me another bite, it’s nothing. Although I am very fragile, but As long as you do n’t rush to the point, you ca n’t bite me with a bite. ”
Although Nanshan didn’t say anything on the spot, his bleak look was like that in the county town where Pingshui met, I heard that the long-awaited support teacher refused to come.
“Nanshan,” Chu Huan called him softly. “The river is my home. There is nothing wrong with the house. I don’t need me for the time being. It’s hard to say in the future. Maybe my wife is mediocre and I don’t need me all the time, but once that If there is anything, any call, even if I climb, I have to climb back-it ’s not that I do n’t like you and the people, if I can, I hope to abduct you all, understand? “
Nanshan bowed his head: “We have a border that we can’t pass, but the border has no limits for you. In fact, even if you promise now, you will regret it in the future. Once you leave the border, I can’t catch up with you.”
Chu Huan smiled: “I know.”
Chu Huan patted the hay on his body and stood up: “You saved me, took care of me, and are my friends. For friends, some things can be fooled casually, and some things can’t be joke, you must say it clearly. ——Such solemn promises, like borrowing money, cannot be signed casually. “
Nanshan looked at him deeply.
Chu Huan thought about it and added a sentence: “On other occasions-for example, when I boast that you are very tasteful in clothes, you can just listen to it and don’t take it seriously.”
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the cave again.
Nanshan: “What are you going to do?”
“Go and see my predecessors again,” Chu Huan said. “By the way, see if those rifles can be used.”
Nanshan followed him all the way back to the cave. Chu Huan asked him to light himself with a torch, then bent down, carefully opened each veteran’s clothes, checked their numbers and names, and recorded his personal information one by one.
Nanshan asked: “What are you doing?”
Chu Huan: “You can’t let them live here without seeing anyone, dying without seeing a dead body. I will write it down first, and when I go out in the future, I will try to find if I can find a family member and report them a funeral.”
Nanshan: “Reporting mourning means telling someone that someone is dead.”
Chu Huan: “Well.”
Nanshan said: “But they are not dead yet.”
“Why didn’t you die? In my opinion, it’s dead,” Chu Huan said. “They don’t have consciousness or thoughts here, just a body … or a body, for some reason there is no decay, no metabolism. life.”
Nanshan thought for a while: “I don’t think so.”
Chu Huan: “Huh?”
Nanshan said: “In my opinion, as long as it is not dead, even if there is nothing, it is considered alive.”
Chu Huan looked back at him in amazement.
Nanshan explained with a good temper: “Maybe we are walking less and far away from you, and everyone thinks differently.”
“No, I think you’re right,” Chu Huanyi pondered Nanshan’s words. “You are right. Chatting with you can make people feel good for a long time, and a lot of things are suddenly bright.”
He said, and suddenly laughed, after copying the last veteran ’s message, Chu Huan said: “If I can take you back, I must sell you to the sports goods advertiser, you just say to the camera.” Everything is possible ‘, it’s all right, the advertising fees are up and down. “
Nanshan automatically understood the “camera” as “stand-up shot” and quickly embarrassedly said: “No, just shoot, no money-go, I invite you to drink.”
Chu Huan’s smile collapsed: “Then, that’s not necessary.”
Nanshan is strange: “Why don’t you drink it?”
Chu Huan covered his stomach: “I don’t want to be an urn.”
After a long translation in the brain, this sentence ran through Nanshan’s endless reflex arc, and he laughed for a long delay.
The two went to the patriarch ’s courtyard together. At this time, the twilight was very heavy. The bone lamps everywhere in the clan were particularly obvious. Chu Huan suddenly remembered: “Yes, if I can, can I see your father? ? Some questions still want to talk to him. “
Nanshan looked dim.
“He died when I was a kid, and I have no impression of him.” Nanshan said, “He … I tell you, mainly to let you know more clearly, it is best not to mention him in the family in the future, especially In front of the elders. “
Chu Huan raised his brow slightly, feeling that there was gossip.
“He cheated the clan and my grandma. After gaining strength through the blood exchange ceremony, he always wanted to abandon us.” Nanshan’s eyes were fixed on the ground. “The reason why he didn’t go right away was because he was the gatekeeper.”
The gatekeeper was full of treasure, and Chu Huan understood it when he heard it.
“He secretly killed several gatekeepers, hid in the cave over there, packed their bodies in various strange bottles and jars, collected blood together, and found these things on the way halfway away , I heard that the last gatekeeper patriarch almost turned my grandma because of this. “
Chu Huan: “… What about later?”
“Later, my grandma killed him with the whole family.”
Chu Huan was so inconvenient to evaluate the family affairs of dog blood, so he had to say: “Well … your mother is really a female middle school hero, what is that called? Oh, I can afford to put it down and have a clear love and hatred.”
“She also died.” Nanshan said softly. “We, the mountain-keeper, value commitments. Marriage is one of the heaviest vows. Unless another person dies, there will be only one person in a lifetime. Dead. Since she took someone to kill my dad, of course it is impossible to survive alone. “
Chu Huan: “…”
Why didn’t anyone inform him of such a brutal custom? Fortunately, I didn’t agree!
