Chapter 11 -3

seven In the reception room of the editorial office of the ×× bookstore, the girl Jiu stood at the place full of books like a store, waiting for the manager to come back.The manager is away on other business. one A small editor who is usually very romantic and self-admired politely let the girl Jiu into the reception room, and took cigarettes and tea, very respectful.But when girl Jiu didn't get off the bus, she saw that the light had already been turned on at the station, and the manager hadn't come back yet. She was worried about her brother who was in the hospital, but she was a little hungry at the same time. She couldn't appreciate the hospitality of the little editor in the bookstore.The editor asked a lot of questions. Seeing that Girl Jiu ignored it, she trembled and went to another room for dinner. Girl Jiu was alone in this reception room, waiting bored.The editor finished his meal, but he still couldn't forget the people in the reception room, so he came over again and asked girl Jiu if he had eaten, hypocritically and modestly.

Girl Jiu just shook her head, didn't agree to anything, and looked very contemptuous of this man. The editor felt that he had lost his dignity in front of Girl Jiu, and felt very uncomfortable, so he said, "Mr. X may not come back today, because he will never come back today." It’s time to come back.” When girl Jiu heard this, she thought about it for a while, as if it would be boring to wait here and talk to this annoying man, so she wrote a few words on the envelope that man A gave to the manager, and told the manager The person said that he would still come to wait for a reply at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, handed the letter to the editor, and left the reception room.

After sending girl Jiu out of the door, the flirtatious little editor who was obsessed with seeing girl Jiu's back went back to the editing room, took out the unsealed letter and saw that it was from man A, and guessed that girl Jiu must be a man A's sister died, and she sat down slumped, completely losing the courage to write love poems. Jiu, a girl who left the ×× editorial office, thought that since she had to come here tomorrow morning to wait for a reply, it would be impossible to go back to school, so she took a bus to Cai's house. When we arrived at Cai's house, it was about half past seven.

The host is a friend of man A, and the hostess taught girl Jiu English for half a year at another time. They are a couple who lived here after graduating from university and made a living by translating books.The man is going out for something now, and the hostess is upstairs at home, eating dinner alone, seeing Jiu Lai is very welcome.There was a stove in the room, so it was very warm, so I hurriedly undressed the girl Jiu, asking if she had eaten.Girl Jiu said that she hadn't eaten yet, and she immediately ate at the same table.When the aunt went downstairs to fetch the bowls and chopsticks, the two were talking.

"Is it snowing at school too?" "It's very big, it seems bigger than here." "Is it cold?" "It's not cold, it won't be cold when it snows." "stove?" "Not yet." "Why don't you raise the stove?" "The money ran out again." "Why are you here alone?" "Second brother fell ill, bleeding badly, and is now in the hospital, so I came to get some money at five o'clock in the afternoon." "Yeah, I'm sick again!" "I bled so much that I had no choice but to go to the hospital."

"Did you get any money?" "No. I'm not at home, I'll go tomorrow." "I'll take thirty here. We only got a little money yesterday." "Then I have to go back now, because I told my second brother that I will come as soon as I get the money. I have to go to the hospital to see. " "How can I go at this time, live here, and go tomorrow!" "No, if Mr. Cai can get some money, I'll go back now." "How can I do that? I'm afraid the car won't be able to make it in time!" "In time!" "Don't go if you can, the weather is cold, and your second brother has to worry about getting sick."

"No, I should just go." "It's better to have a meal, the weather is so cold!" "No, I'll go back and eat." "I think it's better to go tomorrow." "I'm in a panic, I want to go." The aunt brought the bowl, and when she heard that she was going to leave, she stayed with the guests, "Miss Jiu, don't leave, it's snowing again, why are you driving alone at night?" "I have to go!" Without asking how the hostess is doing, she stands up and takes the cloak. The hostess knows the temper of girl Nine and the temperament of man A, so she doesn’t say anything more, takes out the money from the box, and gives three ten-yuan bills to the girl Nine, I only left a few one-yuan bills.

"Then what are you going to do? Don't you want to use it?" "We still have zero, you can take it." "I'll have twenty." "Take it all! Tomorrow I can go to the ×× bookstore to find the manager for you. It's better to leave the stamp here. I will ask Xishi to send you the money, or I will come by myself and see your brother." "Excellent. But I'll take twenty." "Take 30. Why is Xiao Jiu so strange? Don't you need money for your second brother's illness? If xx can't get the money, Xishi may get some from other places. Don't worry!"

"Then if XX gets money tomorrow, you can come to my school to have fun. The weather there is not very cold." "Okay, I'll come as soon as I get the money. The car is at 9:00. Can there be fewer people?" "It's been quiet in the car for the past few days. Why don't you come to my place for breakfast. There's fish, which tastes like Cantonese. There's also spicy peppers. I bought it myself." "Very good, I'll eat fish." The two went downstairs, opened the door, and saw the snow in the alley. The hostess standing by the door held Jiu's hand and said, "It's a good thing that the snow is so deep!"

"Yes, it is still falling, and it will be a foot deep tomorrow!" "If you fall again, you can really be an Arhat." "We've already piled one up, still sugar eyes, and they say eyes are supposed to be sweet." "Who would say such a thing?" "It's a female classmate. A woman who can say strange things." "Is the classmate okay?" "It's all good. Everyone goes to class and plays all day long. What's wrong with that?" "Is your snowman big?" "It's not big, it's very interesting. You can come and see it tomorrow. Our place is very convenient for doing this. Everyone is not afraid of the cold, so everyone can do it by hand."

"Jiu, then it's better for you to go tomorrow. Go with the two of us tomorrow. You will lead me, otherwise I won't be able to find you, and I don't know where the hospital is." Girl Jiu stood in the snow and thought for a while, then suddenly heard someone's wall clock ringing eight o'clock, remembering that the second elder brother hadn't slept in the hospital at this time, she felt that she had to leave anyway, so she said, "I I'm going, I hope that Mr. Cai will come to our school tomorrow, if the bus arrives at half past ten, I will wait at the station." Girl Jiu waited for the bus for 20 minutes at the intersection, and changed to a tram at ×× to go to the station. It was 8:35 when she arrived at the train station, and it was about 9:35 when she arrived at the school. Eight When girl Jiu returned to school, she couldn't go to the hospital because it was too late, so she went back to the dormitory. Girl Wu Tongyu heard that girl Jiu had returned to the dormitory, so she came to Jiu's room to inquire about man A's situation.Jiu told them that they had just returned from Shanghai.Because I was talking about Shanghai, I remembered that I hadn’t eaten lunch or dinner at all. I asked Yutong Wu if he had anything to satisfy his hunger. Yu Weijiu cooked some sago porridge in the fire wine stove, and Wu gave Jiu three tangerine. When the lights of the ×× school were turned off, it was the time when the Shanghai couple surnamed Cai were surrounded and searched by the Chinese and Western patrols in the concession.Some books, the two couples, and the aunt were all taken into the concession house by the brutal and unreasonable detectives, and they were detained in an extremely dirty basement without interrogation for the time being.Girl Jiu, however, was talking to Wu Yu and others about how novel the thinking of the women in the Cai family was, and how the couple went to this place in Shanghai to struggle with life, and told them that tomorrow this lovely and respectable woman will come here to see We are with the snowman we made.Several women felt that such a woman really had to be known, so they told Jiu to stay here for lunch no matter what, and Wu Tongyu went back to sleep. Girl Jiu didn't need to sleep right away. Although she was tired all day and had been in the car for a long time, she came to eat at this time, but when she remembered the usual time for her second brother, this time she just lowered her head and used her frozen hands under the lamp. When I wrote the three-yuan, one-thousand-character novel, I don't know if I'm still bleeding even though I'm lying in the hospital.Even though the bleeding stopped, I still didn't sleep, thinking that there might be no such person as Jiu on the last train.Thinking of his second brother's illness, he seemed to be very sad, and wept at a small candle by the table. The other woman in the same room had already gone to bed early, but at this moment she quietly got up, put on her clothes, walked behind the girl Jiu, and put her hand on Jiu's shoulder. "Miss Jiu, don't act like this, you can sleep now." The girl didn't turn her head back, but said, "Miss, I'm really sorry. I don't have anything, because I was too full from eating just now, and I don't want to sleep for now." "Did you just come back from Shanghai?" "Yes, the car at nine o'clock, because I'm so busy that I want to come back, otherwise I'm staying at a friend's house in Shanghai." "I heard—Mr. A was sick and was admitted to the hospital?" "Yes, the nose was bleeding, and it was very fierce at noon, so I had to go there when I arrived." "Why the blood?" "It's an old disease, the body is too bad, and if you do too much, you have to flow." "Are you busy with homework here?" "It's not homework but writing articles by myself." The woman seemed to be thinking about something, she was silent for a while, and girl Jiu stood up.At this time, the woman took the girl Jiu's hand and squeezed it a little harder, looking extremely affectionate.The woman said, "Your hands are swollen, why don't you wear gloves?" Jiu looked a little shy when she heard this, and said with a smile, "No gloves." "I'll make a pair for you tomorrow. I have a lot of fine wool rope left. What color do you like?" "I'll go shopping tomorrow, it's more convenient." "I can make one in a day, and it's quite convenient!" Jiu didn't know how to speak, so he kept silent. A candle on the table, a jujube shaken with a little light, cast a big shadow of two people side by side on the wall, the woman seemed to be extremely happy when she saw this shadow, and depending on her physique, she was very happy with the person she was longing for. Worry about something. Because he must see Jiu fall asleep before going to bed, so while watching Jiu undressing, he still talks to Jiu.Talking about the patient's illness, Jiu said, "According to me, it's much more convenient to move to Shanghai because it's not good here." "Do you have to live in Shanghai?" "I think so, but we can't do it right now, and the books can't be sold." "Could it be that Mr. A can't get royalties for so many books?" "Sell the ones that sell, and the ones who get royalties don't get much. Now they need new books." "Does the school here owe wages?" "Over there, I spent two hundred as soon as I got here. We spent too much money. With such a temper, it's hard to say." "Miss Jiu, where is your mother?" "In a small place in the countryside, I went there in July." "Mother is always wonderful?" "My mother is a good person, but she is sick. If it is not because of the illness, she is unwilling to transfer." "Miss your mother?" "If my mother knew that my second brother was like this, I wouldn't know how to be anxious." ………… Nine "I heard your sister say that you have a nosebleed, okay?" "Okay, thank you for your concern. Sister Jiu deserves you to give me the gloves, I can't thank you enough." "Where, a little bit is very convenient! Miss Jiu is so kind, everyone likes her so much." "Children don't know anything. I hope that my roommate will take care of them. Sometimes, they seem to be very naughty. They need to slap their palms once or twice." "Where, she is very cute." Jiu came, as usual, with a jumping posture when entering the door, saw the second brother in the room, and showed the glove to the second brother again. "She gave it to me. It's very warm." "Jiu, this is the third time you've talked to me about this." "I want to talk about it for the fourth time. Second brother, you should also have such a pair, otherwise your hands will be so cold that it would be unseemly. When you go to the lecture hall and use such a hand to grasp chalk and write, some people will laugh." "Then you knit a pair for me." "Miss X Zhi, please, are you happy?" "Great, I'll try to measure the size." He took his hand, "It's fine like this, it's so small, it's so funny..." The velvet gloves were woven in no time, and they stretched the gloves wide and put them on the hands. The sisters looked affectionate, but Jiu stood aside and watched. Jiu's words, "It's very suitable! Second brother, don't you think it's suitable?" Man A smiled, "It's really made to order, thank you, thank you, my hands are no longer afraid of cold." Saying this, he put the new gloves on his cheeks and said, "Jiu, come on, try it, my hands are extremely hot. Miss X, if you don't believe me, try it too, my hands are extremely hot. It's all about this pair of gloves !" "Why, there's blood on your gloves again!" "Where, let's have it first." "Where, on the body too!" "Oh, that's amazing, Jiu, hurry up and go downstairs to grab a handful of snow." "I'll go, I'll go. Miss x, help me see my second brother, I'll go to the doctor." "Go quickly, come quickly, I will take care of you, go quickly..." Blood was everywhere. "Why don't you come?!" "Yes, you be quiet." "When you touch my hand, it's as hot as fire. (Squeeze your hand tightly) Why are you so hot? Why are you blushing? Your blushing is strange. You let me touch it, ah, it's too hot. It's amazing, you are the one who is sick! " The girl X seemed to be lying on the bed, but the man A sat at the table and acted as a nurse.The doctor didn't come, but Jiu did.Jiu said, "Second brother, you said to move, everything is already complete." We saw him off at the train station, the car drove away, the car rang, the people left, and everything was over. When the woman × woke up from her dream, it was just when a ship was going down the exit on the evening tide, only the loud and short siren was heard, and the sky was not yet bright. I remember there is a short song for Meng, saying: Meng, if you want to lie to me, just do as you want, just don’t be too hasty.Thinking of the little poem that someone seemed to write on the paper with a melancholy pen, the woman × stared blankly at the shimmering window paper, and a rooster crowed somewhere. ------------------ exclusive launch Chapter VII one Girl Jiu got up early in the morning to go to the hospital.The person in the same room, without saying a word, sleeps on the bed and looks at everything.I heard girl Jiu calling girl Wu sharply downstairs to see the snowman with girl Yu, and heard girl Wu go to the balcony to talk to girl Jiu, and heard girl Wu say, "Jiu, the road is full of snow like this." , what about your shoes? Come up quickly and put my overshoes on. "I don't know what Jiu said, but I heard the girl Wu laughing and rushed downstairs. She guessed that this must be because Yu Zheng gave Jiu the goloshes. She wanted to get up and take a look, but suddenly remembered what happened last night. In a shameful dream, he simply put the quilt over his head and fell asleep. Girl Jiu walked to the hospital about half a mile away from the school, and saw two young nursing women sweeping snow in the small garden, and they seemed to be preparing to build a snowman, so she asked a nurse she had seen yesterday, "Miss Zhou, is my brother awake?" Man A's room is No. 7, which is the room facing the small garden. The nurse was about to speak when Man A rang the bell.Jiu followed the nurse to the room of man A. "Jiu, is that you?" "you're awake!" "I woke up and heard a woman talking, so I guessed it was you, so I rang the bell." "Did you sleep well?" "Very good. I took the medicine at night and slept very comfortably. Did you come back last night?" "It's nine o'clock in the evening, and it's almost ten o'clock here, so I can't see you. I couldn't meet the boss yesterday, and I couldn't get money. "But girl Nine took out the thirty dollars while she was saying this, and handed over to guy A. Man A still didn't understand Jiu's meaning, and thought that the bookstore only gave this little money, so Jiu was upset, so he comforted Jiu, saying, "It's good to have this little bit, thanks to the boss, who is willing to give me thirty yuan." , I heard that many people have sold their manuscripts for half a year and still don’t get a penny. We have this, and we can deal with it now, so that’s all.” "It's not from that bookstore! It's from Mr. Cai. She is coming to see you today, and she said that she can go to XX Bookstore to ask for letters for us. If she gets money, she can bring it together. She asked me to leave a seal, and I said Without a seal, she said that she knew the boss, so it’s okay without a seal. Yesterday I took the letter and waited there for an hour, but I didn’t come back, so I went to Mr. Cai, and she let me stay and eat, and said You are sick and want money, she said that XX just took 30 yuan from a bookstore yesterday, and it was useless, so she gave it to me. I got the money, I am afraid you will read me, so I am too lazy to eat, just came back." "Did you see Xi Shi?" "He has something to do, I'm afraid it's a meeting." "What meeting does he have?" "Isn't he XX? I thought—" "What do you know, kid! Don't talk nonsense." Because the nurse was arranging things in the room, man A warned the girl Jiu, and then said, "Jiu, did you eat something in the morning?" Girl Jiu smiled. "Yesterday, I didn't eat any food. Miss Fifth cooked porridge for me when I went back to school. I came here as soon as I woke up this morning." The nurse went out. Man A thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Do they know I'm sick?" "Know." "I know why I didn't come to see Mr.'s glass" "Do you really want them to come? I'll just..." "No, I was joking." Man A knew Jiu's temper, stopped talking about it, and then turned to Jiu again. "Is it still snowing?" "No. It's long gone. The snowman we built has gained a lot of weight and is very interesting." "As soon as the sun comes out this thing is over." "It's not easy! I've heard it from Wu. Pour a little water on it and it will condense into ice, so it won't melt easily." "You open the window." "Aren't you afraid of the cold?" "It doesn't matter." The girl Jiu went to the window and pushed the window with her hands.Left, right, up, down, there was nothing to do, so Xiaoqian said to himself: "Where, where, strange thing! Deceitful thing!" The nurse came in from outside the room, took the toilet utensils, put them on the small stool beside the bed, and pushed the window lightly with a smile.The window was open, and the cold wind was blowing from outside. The nurse tried to pull down the curtain. "Let the wind blow, it's okay!" "Aren't you afraid?" "I still want to go to the snow, why should I be afraid of the wind?" The nurse went out to get milk. Man A barely sat up, washed his face, and rinsed his mouth. He heard the sound of the railway station beating on the abandoned railway tracks. "Jiu, when do you think Mr. Cai will come?" "Come at ten o'clock. I'll pick him up at the station then." "I'll go as well." "How can you go?" "I'm going to transfer to another school today, how can I get used to living here?" "What do you mean? Isn't this money enough to live for a few days?" "Where - I don't want to live, I have to do something, Jiu, don't you understand?" "But how to move? They won't let you out." "The reason why I'm here is just asking for money from them. I've gone to eight yuan in two days, and another ten yuan for the injection and surgery yesterday. I have to reward them with a little money. This is the rule. Thirty yuan is already almost It's over, if we don't go back to school, others are afraid that we won't be able to go down." "Mr. Cai will find a solution today!" "If he can't get the money, what can he do?" "Go to school and talk to the principal." "Can't you remember how they urged you for your tuition?" "It's just enough to stay for two more days. If you don't have any money, you can always owe it. They know that you teach, and they won't leave the time!" "But it's almost December, our hope is still in my hand!" Girl Jiu didn't dare to say that she must not go out, so she changed her words and said, "Mr. Cai came to discuss with us." The milk was brought by the nurse.When the nurse saw man A asking girl Jiu if she wanted a glass of milk, girl Jiu nodded and shook her head, and said, "I'll get another glass."Man A drank milk alone, saw the strong light reflected by the snow on the porch outside the window, thought of what people looked like in the distance, and Jiu also felt the expression of the second brother, so he said: "Second brother, if this snow is in Beijing, it will be here. It will be melted in March next year." "I thought about how my mother bled and got sick for me in the snow last year." "But I don't see Mom now, people are happy." Man A was afraid of crying, so he changed his words and said, "Jiu, I want to see who you snowmen look like." The nurse brought a cup of hot milk for Jiu, and Jiu put sugar in the milk. When man A saw Jiu's candy, he remembered what someone said that his eyes should be sweet and soft, so he asked girl Jiu: "Jiu, have you finished eating the candy?" Jiu didn't hear it, because the question was very light, and thought it meant milk, so she replied, "Second brother, this hospital is really convenient, it's like a hotel." "Then we live here to enjoy the snow." Seeing his sister sipping milk with a childlike look, and the look of a silly smile after hearing what the second brother said, made man A feel a little sad in his heart. two Girl Jiu was alone on the platform next to the station, waiting for the third train arriving at the station.In the snow, although the child's mood is lively, there is a fresh light and perfection everywhere, but when the seven carriages are dragged to the station by a small locomotive, many people get off the train, and the train turns around and takes another fork. I drove to the front and connected to the south-facing carriage, but I didn't see Mr. Cai, so I was a little sad in the disappointment center.The train stopped for a while and then left. All the people who got on and off the train left the platform, the flag-waving people also left, and the porters also left. Only girl Jiu was left standing there and was kicked by many people. It took a long time to step on the shattered snow. After she arrived, she comforted herself, thinking that maybe it was because she was delayed in arriving at the ×× bookstore and couldn’t catch the train, so she didn’t come until twelve o’clock, and she also thought that maybe it was because of the meal, so she didn’t come until the afternoon, thinking about it while walking along the railway track Go east, go another 200 steps, turn around and walk 40 steps, and you will arrive at the gate of the hospital.Seeing Man A, the child seemed very disappointed and said, "I waited for a long time, but the car drove away again. I think she must have something to do, otherwise she would never be sloppy with time. " Man A said, "Maybe he won't come." "Why didn't you come? I went to pick her up for the fourth time at twelve o'clock....Second brother, maybe I got off at the wrong stop and got off at ××!" "Jiu, I know you, and I want to go to ×× alone to play. Don't go, let's go to class, isn't there French today? Don't delay, you should go, you can't just play all day because I'm sick!" "I'm afraid she won't find me when she comes." "You can pick up the second bus when it comes, and go to class now." "I'll go, I'll go." Not long after Girl Jiu walked out of the hospital, she came back to Boy A's room.Without waiting for the second brother to speak, he told me, "Mr. is absent today." "Have you ever been to school?" "I ran into my roommate outside, and she sued me." "That woman is quite elegant, walking around by herself." "She said she was going to give me a pair of gloves last night." "Why did someone give you something again?" "Then how do I know?" "You should also give your classmates something." "I asked them to eat the candy you bought!" "Sugar! They all eat sugar!" Girl Jiu didn't understand the meaning of these words, so she stopped making a sound, while Man A smiled melancholy on his pale face. How the girl Jiu met the girl X from the same dormitory at the station seems to be a strange thing.The train is leaving soon, and there are places to play in the snowy weather, but why does this woman run to the station alone?And when she saw Jiu at that time, she blushed, and the girl Jiu didn't pay attention.Asked "Do you have French?" The answer was "Mister is on leave." Asked again, "Why did you come to play alone?" The answer was "Because..." Then she said again, "Miss Jiu, are you going back to school?" The girl Jiu didn't make a sound, and ran towards the hospital.If the child is more sensible, he can see that person's heart, how he is willing to use a story to go to the hospital with Jiu and go back to school together.But Jiu didn't suspect others at all, and just went to the hospital to tell the news that the second brother would not go to class. The woman saw Jiu running in the snow, stepping across the fresh snow on the side of the road, leaving long and narrow footprints, she stood still, counting the number of footprints, as if she lost something.When I arrived, I walked to the river, and stood lonely on the Gaofu on the embankment, fascinated by the water of the Tangtang River.The sky was various shades of grey.Everywhere is white, and the boats moored in the river also have white spots and white lines.And I can see someone lighting a fire on a five-masted ship, and smoke is coming out of the ship. The woman × thought of many things that no one else could understand, and felt that she was too weak to support her. But when she saw four female classmates walking on the long embankment road at the other end, the girl × was afraid that people would be suspicious, so she took the path to transfer to another school.The other four girls came to the girl × station just now, and when they saw the footprints in the snow, they joked.A said, "Could it be that you are a classmate who is about to throw himself into the river, and he left only when he saw us coming!" B is more innovative, correcting and supplementing these words. "She was afraid of the cold water, but she was reluctant to give up the credits, so she turned around. I bet that this woman can be found in the library as soon as we transfer schools." C was not convinced, and Ding was not convinced, both said there was absolutely no such thing, so these four young and blessed women made an appointment with a host, and they all recognized the girl X, who was wearing a crimson dress and had a long face and narrow eyebrows. Then I really went to the school library to find her.Bingding conceded defeat, because he was discovered by everyone as soon as he entered the reading room. What she read was a woman's story, about an American woman, and the book told them how a woman should behave as a human being. More than 400 examples were cited, and ten of them were new examples in China. But she didn't know that other women were betting on her at this moment.The four smart women confirmed A's and B's conjectures, and happily went to the consumer agency. The girl X took a magazine into her hand, and still flipped through it randomly, feeling very desolate in her heart. three In the waiting room for special offenders in the concession, the Cai family and his wife each occupied a bench and ate a loaf of diamond-shaped bread bought from a plainclothes man for one yuan. The time was 10:30 the next day after they were arrested. If they are not allowed to speak, the two of them will have nothing to say.I closed this place like this when I came last night, and it is still like this this morning.The two of them just huddled together and got lost for a while, their throats were choked with grief and anger, and the woman woke up from the cold at dawn.Opening his eyes, he saw a small electric light on the roof that was close to the ceiling and was protected by another wire. He remembered all the disputes of being caught, and asked the man softly, "These stupid pigs and dogs! What brought us here? What happened?" The man said, "I suspect it is a false accusation." The woman said again, "This is by no means a false accusation, it is obviously a meaningful thing, I have seen many young people in other rooms." The man slightly Get angry, "This is about dogs! Let me see how they are!" "Where are we ××?" "Won't know, never!" After sitting in court, the couple who were eating bread in silence were taken upstairs and entered a small office like a chief inspector for interrogation.After asking about the name, place of origin, age, occupation, etc., the man was taken out of the quarantine and asked some questions of the woman first. After asking, the woman walked out, and the man went inside again.Still the foreigner asked some questions in French and gave an interpreter to explain, and the man's answer was recorded in a notebook, ordering the police to take him back to the waiting room.The man didn't move, and asked about the arrest in English. The Frenchman, like the police inspector, made some calculations, opened the book, and on the other note, also read in English: "Cai Moumou, husband and wife, The seal... comes from ××, turned over... There is no danger in normal actions, but the translated books on radical thoughts are actually systematic introductions, obviously..." The man looked slightly contemptuous of the teacher in the class, and said: "Just Is it just such a ridiculous reason?" The Naxi smiled, nodded, and stood up slightly to show that he was polite to the man who spoke the language of the British Empire so fluently. The man had nothing to say, and was taken back to the detention room by a policeman. When he returned to the detention room, he was nowhere to be seen. Seeing his own woman, he asked the man, but the man closed the small iron gate without making a sound. Cai and his wife sat separately in the basement, and when they heard the big bell on the roof of the arresting house ringing twelve times, and many black human feet passed by the small window one by one, it was the second time Girl Jiu returned to the hospital from the train station disappointed.When he sat down on the small chair next to the bed of man A. Man A asked girl Jiu, "Didn't you come?" "It's full of stupid people." "Someone must have invited them to drink, so I forgot about you picking them up at the station." "I think I'll go to Shanghai in the afternoon to see the money." "Don't go, I'm afraid they will come in the afternoon." "I'll wait for a later car to pick them up." "If you like to kick the snow, go. I really want to go out. I can't live in this hospital in such good snow." "How about the flow once you go out?" The nurse brought food, and girl Jiu also had a portion.During the meal, Jiu said again, "This is really a nice hotel." Four Because she was waiting for the train at 1 p.m., girl Jiu met Zhu at the station who was thinking of going to Shanghai. "Miss Jiu, who are you waiting for here?" "A friend promised to come in the morning, but he has been waiting three times, but he still hasn't received it. It's very strange." "Does Mr. A have classes?" "Where, my brother is sick, and he is in the hospital to the east." The girl Zhu was slightly surprised, "What, sick?" "I had an old problem with my nose, and the blood was bleeding badly. When I got to the hospital, I got an injection, and the bleeding stopped." "I gonna go see." "Aren't you going to Shanghai?" "It doesn't matter if you go the next time." "Then let's wait for that person, this is a very good woman, she is my husband." "It's your husband, it's a woman! Where do you study?" "Don't study, live with her husband in Shanghai, and live by reading books." "Oh, a man with a husband!" Girl Jiu didn't notice the slight surprise in Zhu Xian's sentence, so she didn't notice that the tone of this sentence was ridiculous. At the railway station, a worker in short clothes beat the scrapped rails for a while, and the train would arrive in five minutes. "Zhu, what are you doing in Shanghai?" "I want to buy some books, and I'm also thinking about buying Mr. A's novel "Abandoned House", because I heard many people have said it, but I haven't seen it." "I want my second brother to give you a copy. I got ten books from the bookstore a while ago, and I plan to give them to anyone who wants them. I don't need to spend money to buy them. The second brother said that all his books are not good, and none of them are complete. writings, because they are all written for themselves and not for others." "That's his humility." "Zhu, do you like reading novels?" "Yes, and you?" "I read translations, but I don't read Chinese ones, let alone my second brother's, so when others talk about my second brother's articles, I don't understand at all." "That's because of having a good brother." "I'm lazy." "It's your happiness." "I respect other people's knowledge, I'm too useless." "You will definitely become..." Another woman came from the track and needed Zhu Yuan's hand to get on the platform. Zhu went to drag that classmate.After being dragged up, Zhu asked the woman, "Are you going to Shanghai?" "Yes, we are together." "No, I don't want to go, I have something to do." "What's up?" "I don't want to go....The bus is coming, go and buy a ticket." The woman went to buy a ticket, the girl Zhu and the girl Jiu stood together, it was funny to see the little fat woman's hurried back. The car came, got off some people, got on some people, and drove away five minutes later. The two of them failed to receive the customer, so they went to the hospital to see man A. After sitting for half an hour, I was about to leave, so I sat for another half an hour.In the man A, the virgin girl Zhu speaks very little.Before leaving, because the girl Jiu was together, on the road, the girl Zhu asked Jiu, "Has anyone been here?" When the two of them returned to school, they went to the girl Jiu's room to get the novel called "Abandoned House", and the girl Jiu wrote a line on it.After the girl Zhu took the book away, the girl X who shared the room with Jiu asked Jiu, "Did you come back from class?" But Jiu said, "I just returned to the hospital with Zhu." The girl × said, "Zhu is really good-looking and makes people happy." Jiu didn't understand the meaning of x, so he laughed and honestly admitted the words.Because of Jiu's lack of scheming, X, who said something with a little jealousy, felt even more desolate in the end. Fives Man A in the hospital, when the girl Jiu and the girl Zhu left the room, he thought about what Zhu said to Wu a few days ago, and from his own experience, he thought about all kinds of things about the girl Yu. The lack of blood made the man very clear-headed.He felt the meaning of his coming to this place to others, and he also felt the meaning of his coming to this place.He is very clear about what awaits him ahead of work.As for personnel affairs, he seemed unwilling to understand how it would progress with each passing day.But the day is only three weeks away from vacation, and the preparation for the exam will be next week, and the half-year course will end.As soon as the personnel affairs should be done, he couldn't help but think about it. He thought for an hour. Thinking and thinking, sighing, all to no avail.According to the temper of an anemic person, he uses some empty dreams to make his soul feel light for a while, and then a small problem, a very ordinary thing, weighs its weight on the sick soul, and suddenly falls down. , hope is shattered. Man A spends the afternoon on some fragments of hope, and some human disputes that make hope. six Somebody smashed the head of the snowman with sugar eyes in the girls' dormitory. The first person who found it was girl A who had participated in the work together. The time was around six o'clock in the evening.After the news arrived, Girl Wu knew about it, and she went to Jiu's room and told Jiu that she could guess this person, and she meant Zhu. Jiu was very angry because the snowman was the one who expended most of his energy, and said, "Who do you think it is?" Wu said, "I know it's her, a female classmate." "If I knew this person, I would call her shameless in person, because she has no right to do such a stupid thing alone." "But many people do things that don't ask for rights." "Who are you telling me this is?" "Of course there is only one person." "Is it jade?" "Why is she?" "That's... is... is..." “通通不是,我猜这是我们的熟人,怎么不想到就是——”伏在另一桌上读书的女生×很不安定的样子,站起了身。 把书一堆,显然是要说话的神气。但玖这时却说,“是朱么?” 女生五却说,“除了她没有其他的人,”女生×颓然坐下了。女孩玖因为已见到了女生×要说话的样子了,就转口同×说话。 女孩玖说,“×,你瞧,有人把我们雪人的头也打碎了,真岂有此理!” 那女生×作苦笑,“雪人的头那是不要紧的事,另外做一个吧。” “说得好容易!这样大冷天气,几个人作了半天,手都肿红了,还有那眼睛,那糖做的眼睛——哈,必定是这个人想吃糖的原故,才做这件事!五小姐,你以为不是这原故么?” 五说,“自然是为糖的原故。” 玖说,“五,那我们两个人去问她,问她凭甚理由不先来讨一点糖吃,就贪图那两个眼睛。” 玖说到这里笑了,五也笑,就是女生×也不自然的在笑。 女孩玖到后邀五到朱宿舍去时,五以为天气冷,只适宜于在房中说点笑话,不适宜于吵嘴,所以不去。玖则孩子脾气,非问明白不可,所以一个人就走到朱住处去了。 女生朱正灯下用小刀裁那本《废屋》看,见玖来,欢喜极了。玖很生气的样子,问朱道:“朱,我们雪人被人悄悄儿打了!” 朱“呀”的一惊,因这一惊,孩子脾气的玖也看得出这事朱是无分了,就告给朱以种种事,却没有说及五曾疑心过她,只说自己还以为若果是熟人胡闹,一定就只有朱才有这胆气。 朱说,“我恐怕有胆气也没有功夫,我一回来看这本书,刚才把饭吃过,又开始来看。我正看这书上你的影子,很有趣味,还看到A先生说他自己小时候顽皮的事情。” “可是我们倒应当明白一下,现在是谁在顽皮把雪人打碎的!” “我想这一定是男子作的事,男子是照例有理由做这些下作事的。上一次我说的那柱上写的字,除了男子谁个女人会那样写。” 玖心想,“倒象是仇人,五说你你又说五,”想起这些时女孩玖好笑。 朱也正想到五,问玖,“五知道了这事情没有。” 玖不能再隐,就说,“五还以为是你做的事,所以我来问你!” 女生朱听说五有这种猜疑,心中很难受,问玖,“玖,我问你,他们有人说A先生在爱五,你相信么?” 玖说,“这件事我怎相信?” “那么就是五在爱A先生了。” “或者是那样,我仍然也不很清楚。好象她们都欢喜同哥哥说话。” “都?什么都?五同玉两个罢了,另外还有谁么?” “好象……”玖只这样说,就用微笑作收束,因为她要说的是“好象你也并不讨厌我二哥”,但忽然明白这个话不能说出,所以笑了。 女生朱似乎也悟出了自己说话的不检处了,也干笑。在干笑中她注意到玖的神气。 女孩玖,过了一会,问朱是不是欢喜郁达夫的书,因为看到了朱的书架上有一本达夫代表作。 朱告玖的话却是另外一个关于下雪的故事,因为男子A的《废屋》一书上,有好几次是用雪地作为背景的东西,玖虽非常明白那雪地的乡村,可是无一点趣味,所以仍然答非所问,又说到别一件事上去了。 女孩玖被女生朱留到住处同睡。熄灯后,还没有听到玖回宿舍的声音,女生五在隔房问女孩玖是不是已经上了床。女生×虽听到这话,也不代为答应一声。到后五同玉说话了,说到关于女孩玖同朱日益亲密的事,女生×听得到一些,就把这点话语合糅在另外一些见闻中,断定了朱同玖的关系,是为什么原故如此亲密,这理由,不消说是还有男子A在中间了。 这夜里,一个住在校外饭馆里,被赌博所欺骗的中年厨子,忽然悄悄的走到江边,用绳子自缢到船埠铁柱上,死去了。 ------------------
