Chapter 12 -4

chapter eight one At dawn, the people in the restaurant got up, but the cook disappeared, and they searched everywhere but found nothing.At the same time, some people from the station went to the riverside to watch the ebb and flow of the river tide, and found the body in the snow, the greasy apron around the waist, and the wide face. It probably looked like a person in charge of a spatula in a restaurant, so immediately Report to school.The owner of the restaurant went to see the boy from Jiangbei who delivered the food, and saw that it was the master chef. He panicked, staggered back to the shop, closed the door of the shop that had been opened, put the rice that had been washed aside, and arrived at the shop. The town reported it.

When it's time to eat porridge, many young people still go to the restaurant to eat the porridge made by the master chef's dirty fat hands as before.The porridge could not be eaten, but knowing that someone was killed, the news spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and the news immediately spread to the school. Those who heard the news had no intention of going for a walk by the river, but because of the novelty of the matter, they were invited to see it, so both male and female students talked about it.Jiu and Zhu, girls who lived in the dormitory named X, were sharing a bowl of noodles when they heard a girl from the next door who had come to the riverside mention this incident. They were shocked and thought it was a classmate who committed suicide.Later, I heard that it was the cook, so I was relieved, because the girl Jiu said that Ms. Cai would come at eight o'clock, so they left the school gate and walked towards the river together.Immediately forgotten.

On the way to the station, they met a girl named X. "X go to the station to play." Zhu said very naturally, without any other meaning. The prejudiced girl × stood sideways on the side of the road, making an ugly look, "You guys want to see dead people, it's so interesting!" Girl Jiu was surprised, "Why, did the dead person die at the station?" Girl × seemed also surprised by what Girl Jiu said, "Don't you know about this?" The girl Zhu said, "We are going to pick up a friend of Miss Jiu at the station. You have seen the dead man come, how is it?"

Is it the cook in Xinglongju Restaurant? " "I... some smart people are all watching the fun there!" "Go, Miss X, come play with us at the station, the sun is out today, how warm it is!" X, who was afraid of seeing Zhu Tongjiu, had to follow the two of them when he heard Zhu's words. They waited for the first train at the station together, and saw many classmates coming back from the river, and they all discussed this matter with the air of coming out of the theater.Some still insist on a fallacy, thinking that the death of this person is unreasonable.Because this kind of people generally feel that they are going to commit suicide, and they will lose this spirit of sacrifice just because of the cold weather.

There are also some women who are very satisfied after seeing such a thing. They were born with a heart that is easily moved. If the deceased was a classmate and the reason for death was love, then she would sympathize no matter what.Some students who know how to write love poems in school feel that this topic only gives those who write old poems a good chance, and there is no place to write new poems, so they gave up this unpleasant story and went to criticize life with their friends.There were 600 people in a school, probably more than half of them went to the riverside to see the deceased, and there were staff members among them, who were smoking in their mouths.

There are also soldiers in the barracks, the kind of stupid people who eat millet all day long, are beaten, shit on the open space outside their houses, and work in the snow. Those who have just been beaten still go to the riverside and use "how can they die?" After looking at that innocent look for a while, and laughing at the fat impression with his companions, he went back to the camp to report the incident. Girl Jiu asked X, "What is the reason, everyone seems so happy!" The girl × said, "I didn't go to the riverside because I wanted to see this dead man."

The girl Zhu kept silent, and saw that the girls walking back from the river were amused, and thought this is really a strange thing. The last time the principal accompanied Dr. Lala to give a speech, there were not so many people listening.In fact, this is not surprising at all. Young people are all happy when new things happen. Just a little reason is enough to give the whole school a refreshing stimulus. There were also those who passed Shanghai early and the car didn't come, so they took time to go to the riverside to see the master's novel way of death, and when they returned, they talked with others on the platform about various ways of death.

After the train arrived, some got off, and those waiting for the train scrambled to get on the train. As soon as the locomotive turned off, the news was taken to the typesetting rooms of various newspaper offices in Shanghai within forty minutes.The people who got off the train still didn't have the girl Jiu was waiting for, the car left, Jiu looked at the sky and then at the train turning around, hopeless. "People don't come, it's strange!" "Do you have classes? I'm leaving." The girl Zhu said and wanted to leave. The girl X, who had no class, also took a walking posture and jumped from the platform to the lower track.

Girl Jiu said: "Zhu, can't you accompany me to the hospital to see my second brother?" Zhu shook his head and said he couldn't go, it seemed that because of X, he was timid, so he was willing to transfer to another school. "You don't have homework!" "I sit in on a class." Girl Jiu said to girl X, "X, can you go there with me to see my brother, and then come back together." The girl × bowed her head and could not agree, so Jiu said, "I know that × has a class, so you should go with me, Zhu." Zhu still did not agree because of X.Seeing that X didn't intend to leave, he left first.Seeing that Zhu had already left, the girl × felt embarrassed and did not leave, so she walked south along the railway.Jiu kept silent, seeing the two women walking on the road of rotten snow, she thought that Zhu was unwilling to go to the hospital with her.After walking thirty steps and about to turn a corner, the girl Zhu suddenly turned around and called the girl Jiu again.

"Jiu, kid, don't be angry with me, I have something to do!" Jiu remained silent, and Zhu ran back to the station with an excuse, saying, "I know you're angry with me, I know you're angry with me—" He walked up to Jiu, pulled Jiu back, and said to him. Walking towards the hospital seemed to be a completely unavoidable reason, just because he didn't want to make the girl Jiu feel sad, so he just followed the girl's will and reluctantly acted as a companion for once.When the girl Jiu turned to look at X, Zhu also turned back and asked X, "Are Gao happy to go together? If you don't go, Miss Jiu will be angry!"

But the girl × stood in the snow, shook her head and made a wry smile, and refused. She remembered that she came to the station with these two people and went back alone, and smiled for the second time.Only I knew when I laughed for the second time, because Jiu and Zhu, who were walking side by side, quickly turned behind a red wall and no longer saw anyone. two At ten o'clock, two guests came to visit man A. They both went to the communication office of XX University and put a business card.Knowing that the person lived in the ×× hospital not far from the school, one of them went to the hospital, and the other said that he would meet the girl Jiu.The man who came to the hospital was the editor of XX Bookstore, the one who was embarrassed by girl Jiu the afternoon before yesterday.The person who met Jiu in the girls' reception room was one of the friends of man A, who came here to report the arrest of Cai and his wife. The editor of the ×× bookstore went to the hospital and met man A. First, he politely took out the one hundred yuan manuscript fee given to man A by the manager of the bookstore from his wallet, counted it, and gave it to man A. He looked like an actor. Speaking, from the beginning of "I have admired your name for a long time, and I am familiar with the works" to "I heard that your style is against harmony", after saying a polite word with good grammar, I talked about the girl Jiu's visit to the bookstore the day before, and the words were accurate. Express infinite envy for man A.When I arrived, I presented a new book, saying that I was asking for advice.It's hard to figure out the intention of not leaving after finishing speaking. Man A has occasionally seen the name of this new poet with the same title as the poem in some magazines, but now he has no idea that this is the new poet who is said to be the new China, and he also presented the new poem.Because this person seems to have to talk about the "literary world" issues, like other visiting young people, or he needs some praise before he can be sent back quickly, so man A talked to this person about all the recent Shanghai publications and news. Publishing situation.The editor is very willing to extend his words, so that unexpected things may happen by chance, so as to live up to the original intention of taking the train from a long distance today, so after saying this and that, he always seems to be very concerned about these things, and will take care of it as soon as he returns. It's like writing literary history.When the editor and poet made his own claims, talked about everything in an eloquent manner, and described his own struggle with life, man A just said no, agreed to the editor, and thought about what a hundred yuan would do. Arrange to repay the debts of friends and oneself. Soon the girl Jiu came to the hospital with another guest. Jiu entered the room and saw Jiu running into the room in a jumping posture. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly froze her throat and stopped talking. The editor thought it was the girl Jiu who was in the hospital. Shy in front of him, he was terrified and moved until his whole body was filled with poetry. When man A saw girl Jiu, he told her: "Jiu, they sent me money." Jiu remained silent, looked at his second brother and then at the vulgar faces of the ×× bookstore. Man A thought it was Jiu who was silent because someone was here, so he said, "You said Mr. Cai would bring it for us, but if she doesn't come, we might have to send it for her!" The girl Jiuji almost groaned "Oh" in her throat, and went out of the room to talk to the guest. "Jiu, why are you leaving again? You have to go to Shanghai today to pay back Mr. Cai's money for me and buy some medicine. Don't leave!" Girl Jiu immediately came into the room again, followed by her friend Zhou Jun.The little editor stood up. After his friend Zhou came to the bedside to shake hands, man A had to introduce Zhou, "That's XX, the poet, that's Zhou, Zhou XX." He wanted to stretch out the poetry-writing hand to pinch it, but Zhou had no intention of doing it, so he sat down on a wicker chair beside the bed. "Have you seen Mrs. and Mrs. Cai?" The man saw Jiu, hesitated for a while, and then agreed vaguely. Man A asked again, "Did Cai sue you to find out about my illness?" The man still replied vaguely. Because I came to sue A with the intention of discussing how to deal with the matter concerning the Cai and his wife. When I came here, I met Jiu first. When I talked about A's illness, I discussed with Jiu but could only hide the news for a day or two. for good.Man Zhou couldn't just keep talking about the life of his friends Cai and his wife, so he saw a new book next to his bed and thought it was a good book, so he picked it up and turned a page.He didn't know that the so-called poet is the guest who came first, so he asked A, "Whose poem is it? This thing is also brought for cherry blossoms." Man A said, "Zhou, the poet is the person in front of him. This poem should be a good book." Poetry, you should read more before speaking!" When the poet editor heard Zhou's words, his face burned a little, but he suspected that Zhou was a famous critic who edited "Dawen Monthly", so after man A said something, he said: "I would like to ask for advice on this clumsy collection, but I don't know." Mr. Zhou, are you happy to take a look?" The man Zhou said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to see the poet here today." When the editor heard that the critics called him a poet, his whole body became hot, so he asked about all the literary affairs very humbly, and criticized the new poems at will. It is a thoughtful thing, so after talking about it very reservedly, he made a small evaluation of each work, and his proud and pitiful situation was fully exposed in front of Zhou. The man Zhou just nodded and smiled, while the girl Jiu stood at the head of the bed, also very funny. After that, everyone was speechless.Jiu asked Zhou when the tenth issue of "Dawen" would be published and what articles would be on it.The man Zhou knew what Jiu meant, so besides reporting the articles in Jiu's monthly magazine, he came to discuss various issues in the magazine with Jiu to kill this brand new day. If the editor hadn't had another flat-faced professor come and said that patients shouldn't be there all the time, he wouldn't have stood up and left immediately.After standing up, he had no intention of leaving, and suddenly asked Man A rashly, "Is the caregiver here a man or a woman?" With such a novelty, Man A didn't dare to talk to the poet again, and let him go. The poet left and left the hospital, just like a man who was broken in love. He knew that there was no hope for girl Jiu, so he imagined how Zhou flattered girl Jiu. He paused, but before he reached the station, his thoughts changed direction again, and he recalled the detailed address of the correspondence office of "Dawen Monthly" from memory, thinking that tomorrow he should send a poem to this famous celebrity, hoping to get there. criticism. When the man Zhou was about to leave, the man A asked him to bring back thirty yuan for Cai and twenty dollars for Cai.I was about to come here to borrow money from A to pay for Cai and his wife's prison expenses. I completely concealed the Shanghai side. I took the money and looked at my watch. The train was only 20 minutes away. I told A to be at ease. After three to five days in this courtyard, I will leave the hospital. "Why don't you sit down? I'm leaving this place tomorrow. I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow." When girl Jiu heard this, she said loudly and in amazement, "You must not go to Shanghai!" "Jiu, then you go. We're supposed to set up a stove, and buy something to eat! Go and buy for me, and see if you can do these things yourself." "I absolutely will, as long as you don't leave the hospital immediately, I will do everything! The doctor told you that the blood is too bad and lacks the colloid that coagulates. Also, as soon as you go out, just—" the man Zhou refused to let them talk. In the end, he interrupted the conversation, saying that he wanted to go, made a gesture to the girl, shook hands with A, and left very manly.Girl Jiu sent Zhou out of the door, and said sadly, "I'm afraid I can't hide it from him!" "No, no matter what, he can't delay his peaceful sleep at night just because he knows the news today." "I'm afraid he will ask me!" "You don't want to stay alone in his room with him anymore. You should use an excuse to say that there is something to do at school, and then go back to school, and don't worry about losing sleep over it. Things can come to light!It doesn't matter at all, you just follow my plan and keep it a secret for two days. When he can resist his physical weakness, it will be harmless for us to tell him again. " Girl Jiu really left her second brother's hospital right away, and went back to school alone.I didn't see my second elder brother, boy A, all afternoon. He thought he must be crying at school again because of thinking about the patient, his eyes were swollen from crying, and he didn't dare to attend classes or come to the hospital.Girl Jiu's crying was serious, because she thought of her second brother, and also of Mrs. and Mrs. Cai, who had taught English, and were arrested for patrol, and there was no bed in prison, so her heart was so weak that she had to cry. three In the evening, Jiu didn't eat much.Because Wu Tongyu didn't understand, he thought that the excess of tears and the lack of food intake were all due to his second brother's illness, and because he didn't want to comfort Wu and Yu who didn't understand in the same building, he still went to the girl Zhu to study. "Jiu, you're crying again, it's really wrong! You said you want to learn to be a grown-up, do you see that grown-ups shed tears all day long?" "Yes, I endured it, and I also scolded myself, which is wrong." "I also understand that it is the weakness of your heart." "Only you and the second brother can understand that I am an incurable disease." "You should restrain yourself and train your body and spirit to be stronger before you can be a human being." "Zhu. You don't know, what happened today is why I have a reason to cry for a while." "What's up?" "I'll tell you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." "Why did it take another few days to let me know?" "I promised someone else." "Who did you promise? Do you have to hide it for a day or two even if you cry?" "I'm not crying, I'm crying because I concealed that incident!" "Is there a letter from home?" "no." "Is my brother seriously ill?" "No." "Is there no money to use?" "Today XX just sent someone to send one hundred yuan." "why?" Girl Jiu smiled with tears in her eyes, turned her head to read a book, and asked Zhu, what example should be used to find the best example of the various preposition changes in grammar. The girl Zhu is inconvenient to force Jiu, so she wants Jiu to tell her about this matter first, because she is confident in everything, so that Jiu will not be misunderstood and make Jiu feel sad.Jiu nodded in agreement. The girl Jiu who came to Zhu's dormitory, the girl X who shared the same room with Jiu, is very clear about it. For some reason, this man hated Zhu for no reason, thinking that Jiu's crying and A's illness were all due to Zhu, because of Jiu's soft and pitiful appearance, the girl ×, sleeping alone on the bed at night, in Zhu's impression, was Dreamed many strange dreams that increased the sins of the soul.The girl Zhu also dreamed of X at the same time, but it was a dream that X, because of her gloomy personality, was unhappy to live again, ran to the riverside and drowned her body, and later, like a master during the day, it was displayed on the side of the road on the stone embankment Thousands of college students all went to see it once, and this kind of suicide has nothing to do with people. Four But what Jiu wanted to hide failed in the end.At 7:00 p.m., man A got a tabloid newly brought from Shanghai from a nurse and entertained himself under the lamp, but accidentally discovered the news that Cai and his wife had been arrested.At first, I thought that Zhou, who often met Cai and his wife, hadn't mentioned this matter when he came here this morning, so it was conceivable that it was a rumor and could not be trusted at all.After thinking about it carefully, I remembered Jiu's air today, and the reason why Jiu didn't come for the rest of the day, and remembered Zhou's ambiguous language when he asked about the lives of Cai and his wife. The deception that has been discussed is just a big lie for the patient, and everything is clear in my heart. Man A wanted to be released from the hospital and go back to his own dormitory, because he thought of his friends Mr. and Mrs. Cai, who endured the bitter cold in prison at the same time, and he was still living in this hospital. I'm going back to the dormitory. But according to the rules in the hospital, no matter what, the doctor's signature is required to leave the hospital. Now the doctor has taken his own car to Shanghai, and he has to stay here even though he is very upset. At night, man A couldn't sleep until midnight, completely out of girl Jiu's expectation. Fives Man A left a note, telling the nurse to go outside for a while before returning. He quietly left the hospital early in the morning and went back to school. When I arrived at Girl Jiu's dormitory, I was a little surprised when I didn't see Girl Jiu.The girl X was combing her hair, thinking of all the chances that she had nothing to do, suddenly saw that it was A who knocked on the door and came in. It seemed that A had seen through her mind, her face was blushing, and she couldn't say a word. Man A didn't notice the difference in the woman's expression at all.Because I want to know where Jiu is going, whether I’m not in Shanghai or I got up early to go somewhere else, so I asked X: "Miss X, I want to ask you, where did my younger sister Jiu go?" "I--" The woman's heart was filled with something inexplicable, and she couldn't say much in her heart, so she could only make a silly smile and shy look at A, and looked at A pitifully. Man A still didn't notice this situation, because he saw that the inquiry was fruitless, he wanted to leave, and planned to ask around Wu, because girl Nine sometimes went to Wu's desk to study.But when the man A was about to go out, the girl X seemed to know that the man A must go to the next door, so she groaned in a low voice, and when the man A turned around, the woman said softly: "They don't know where Miss Jiu is going." The meaning of this seems to be "you want to know or only I understand", and it seems that because of this, A will not go to Wu's room to talk again.Sure enough, man A went downstairs and heard the sound of sloppy leather shoes going down the stairs. Girl X seemed to have lost a lot of valuable things in her heart. She couldn't regret it, and her courage to live was gone. She fell on the bed, covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly. . "Why don't I want him to sit down, and immediately bring that child Jiu back from Zhu? Why don't you ask him about his illness, and sue him..." Everything that reminds this woman is an unrepentant mistake , and the achievement of this negligence is entirely due to her own weakness. When the girl × understands this, she is even more sad. But the so-called unrepentant thing, the second time gave the girl the convenience of ×.Man A was afraid that when the girl Jiu came back, he heard that X said that he came back from the hospital to look for her, and thought there was something important, and told her that if he couldn't find it in the hospital, he would go to Shanghai, so he went upstairs again. Write a note.In the room, the girl X was crying because of her weakness. She heard A's footsteps and heard A walking to Jiu's desk to pick up a pen to write. How to do it, and I didn't have the courage to propose it. Man A wrote the note, saw the graceful posture of the girl × lying on the bed, thought in his heart that the woman was combing her hair well for a moment, and then she actually pretended to be asleep. The affectation of a woman reminded A that many women gave him With a little unpleasant resentment, he left again. When I got downstairs, I remembered the snowman that girl Jiu said, so I went around to the flower garden to have a look. Girl Wuzheng was there alone with a small shovel to pile snow on the snowman's head, as if it was a lot of trouble. When she saw A coming down the stairs, she was shocked and looked at the man A suspiciously.Man A said, "Miss Fifth, you are not afraid of the cold!" "Are you afraid of the cold? (Makes a smile and denies childishly.) I heard from Miss Jiu that Mr. A is ill in the hospital, okay." "People's illnesses will definitely recover naturally." "Yes, absolutely—nor—" Seeing Wu's expression, man A remembered what Zhu said on the wooden pillar before, and his heart was slightly shaken. "I heard that the eyes of this snowman are made of sugar. Why do they have another head?" Girl Wu didn't look up, and slapped the shovel on the snowman's head, "They broke his head." "Luckily it was the head that broke." "Then how about breaking the body?" "Or it's more interesting." If the fifth girl knew something, she squinted at the man A for a while, and her soul found a way to escape, and she diverted the conversation to another matter.She asked A, "Have you seen Jiu?" Telling her that she hadn't, Wu said, "Jiu must live at Zhu's place, because Zhu likes Jiu, and Jiu also likes Zhu." Talking about a woman's mood, I can understand it very clearly from the side of man A.When man A heard this, he thought to himself that women are so clever that they always let others know about these things, and he thought it was funny. After a while, man A suddenly felt bored and left.Girl 5 looked in the direction A was walking, piled one on the head of a snowman with a shape, smashed it with a shovel, threw the shovel, and returned to the dormitory as if lost. Yu was writing a letter home, when she saw Wu's appearance, she put down her pen, "Miss, why are you acting so ugly?" "Because I don't know how to write love letters," taunted Yu in this way, but he couldn't say it out of sullenness, so he went to Jiu's room to look for a book.While looking for a book, he called Yu, "Miss Yu, you don't need to write that love letter, just do something else useful." The girl × thought that Wu had hurt her on purpose, and felt even more sad, but Wu hurried back to the room immediately. Wu Tongyu, who originally talked about everything, seemed to have some words, but the two of them laughed again.The laughter of the two made the girl X hear it, and thought that what girl 5 said was only aimed at herself, and the reason for laughing loudly was just to ridicule this side of the exposure.The girl × thought of another thing, she stopped crying, her appearance changed suddenly, she sat at the table and wrote something while wiping away her tears, and tore it up after finishing writing, and stared at the snow in the barren fields outside the window. As soon as the class bell rang, the woman looked at the homework sheet posted on the wall, took a book, and went downstairs to class. six In the rainy playground, man A met Jiu and Zhu Zheng coming out of the dormitory. "Yeah, second brother, why did you come out?" "How did you get out? You didn't let them see you, so you slipped out. Jiu, come here, and I'll ask you what Zhou said to you yesterday." "Say……" "You lied to me! Mr. Cai and his wife were arrested, didn't Zhou know about it?" When Jiu heard this, she couldn't bear the soreness in her heart, and her eyes were a little red, so she ran to the middle of the crowd.Because Zhu was by his side, man A asked Zhu, "Did Jiu live in your dormitory yesterday?" Zhu nodded, and told A very gently that girl Jiu cried last night.Girl Jiu stood in the distance and waved to Zhu. Zhu nodded and ran away.Judging by her expression, it was obvious that the girl Jiu understood what was going on, so the man A rushed to the center of Daping, pulled the red-eyed Jiu, and asked her how she talked about Cai's matter with her when Zhou came yesterday. "He only said that people have taken them away, just for the sake of a few books. Because I'm afraid you won't sleep well and bleed again, so he won't sue you. He didn't say anything else—he also said, you return his The money is just right, because it takes 30 yuan to borrow a pair of cotton wool from inside to hug my body, otherwise I will die of cold in a few days." After hearing Jiu's words, man A became silent instead.After hesitating for a while, he sued Jiu and immediately went to the hospital to settle the accounts for him, and told Jiu that the patient had to go to Shanghai for an urgent matter, so he left.Jiu nodded and pulled Zhu to go with him. Zhu didn't seem to be very willing, but because of Jiu's reason, he had to accompany him. The three of them hurried out of the school together.The girl X, who was about to go to the classroom, met several people face to face. The girl X just nodded for man A with a half-smile, stood aside, and let the three of them go away. On the way, man A remembered the situation of seeing a girl × in Jiu’s room for a while, and said to Tong Jiu, “Jiu, your roommate is really strange, not at all friendly, a person who doesn’t look very bad, but there is a person who is so unsuitable.” The partner's temper is extremely strange." The girl Zhu said, "This woman seems to be suffering from dementia. She is good at homework and in good health. But when I talk to her, she always answers irrelevant questions and seems to ignore me. I don't understand what offended her." she." Girl Jiu said, "She often does things in the middle of the night and often cries, like a madman." A said, "This person may be sick. I don't know why, but I always feel pitiful when I see her." Jiu said, "Second brother, what do you think that kind of person is suitable for?" "It is suitable to live in the same room with you." "Does this mean that she loves to cry and I love to cry too?" "No, it means that you can refer to each other." "Second brother, I don't want you to tell jokes. I think that kind of person is suitable for poetry, tell me, don't you?" "Many people say that poetry is a combination of blood and tears. If you want to be a poet, you can do it." "Mr. A, how can we go to Shanghai when the train doesn't come?" Zhu thought of the train because he saw a ship passing by the river. Man A didn't seem to pay much attention to this sentence, and girl Jiu replied instead, "Go to Wusong and take a bus." Man A saw that the weather was so good, so Jiu sent him to Wusong and asked Jiu if he would like to.Jiuzhi happily walked the snowy road, Zhu had no reason to refuse, and the three of them went to Wusong. On the way, man A walked a little behind, saw the back of the girl Zhu Slimiao who was walking side by side with Jiu, and thought of the pretentiousness of the woman who shared the room with Jiu, which seemed to have lost a lot of man A's self-esteem, but at this moment It seemed to have found this thing on Zhu's body again. seven Man A met Zhou at the office of XX km. Zhou, who saw A for the first time, was obviously surprised, and asked A why he left the hospital and came to Shanghai. Xiang A got a little angry, "Zhou, why did you keep this from me?" "I'm not lying to you! What's the use of you knowing this like that." "I also know that I am a useless person. Now there is some money left here. You see, you can use it as you like." "What about the hospital?" "There are still thirty, which is almost enough." "You should be transferred to the hospital for a few days, your complexion is very bad!" "How can I live there again? I ask you, can they go and see?" "I can only send the children in the bookstore, because I'm afraid something else happened. My aunt heard that she has been released. I only met her once and asked her about the situation once. I want her to stay at home and not wander around. , we'd better not go to Cai's house at this time." "How do you send the money?" "The money was entrusted to a child to be sent to an Annan patrol arrester. He gave him another five yuan to transfer it. Hearing that he got the money, he also got the quilt and slept on that stool. It's not bad, two Individuals are not abused or beaten, which is much cheaper than the real six kings." "Why don't you take precautions?" "I won't. I wrote an article in the ×× publication, just like you wrote an article in "New Moon", and I got a solid proof that neither the French Concession nor the Public Concession is enough to be afraid of." "Your magazine seems to have been banned in many places." "Actually, some of the poems on it were published in the "XX Monthly". Nowadays, many radical things have to be published in a kind of publication similar to the government gazette. Because these editors only look at the name. The way to look at the name is different from other editors: editors of other publications adopt works, and all the manuscripts of people who are not well-known are proposed for publication. If the names are not familiar, the content will be bad as usual. So I discarded it. The Revolution is the complete opposite. When looking at the works, if the name is very unfamiliar, he will read a paragraph or two. If the first two paragraphs of the poem you wrote meet the meaning of the editor, your name is colorless. It’s very unfamiliar, so I don’t need to read more from now on, so I left it with a red pen to publish the ... issue of this journal. Now we still thank those editors and try our best to work on that authentic journal with a rough idea. China The situation is still very optimistic!" "But Cai, why did they..." "That's money, the most simple reason! Those policemen and local hooligans knew that I lived here and extorted forty yuan. These dogs know that I am a good person and have made friends with me, so they will not come to me. Come trouble." "But what shall we do with them?" "Should it be? I promised money again. With another 80 yuan, the case can be quietly closed and released." "Is this the duty of the police?" "The Chinese are smart and understand the meaning of tipping to a servant, so once you stay in the house for a longer time, you are more sensible, and you have learned more rules. A detective in a house in a concession has a monthly income of positive and other items. , the merger is always better than a university professor. If there were no such benefits, where would there be many young police officers who came from Shandong and Tianjin by sea, rushing to the prison house to learn to be that kind of strict watchman? At this point, Zhou's voice became rough, like an angry wolf, shrugging his shoulders and clenching his fists, "These dogs are dogs that make you angry and feel unnecessary." Any dog, as long as it has something to offer, its tail is not just wagging for the joy of Westerners! " "You said you want eighty yuan, and I'll take all fifty yuan here. If it's not enough, I'll go to the hospital to stay for a few more days, spend the thirty yuan that should be sent, and then discuss other methods. .” Just because the mention of detectives and other things supported by the concession authorities aroused Zhou's anger, Zhou used his usual big brother attitude and said domineeringly: "Your plan is really just a child's talk with your sister Jiu. You should go back by yourself, don’t worry about it. You don’t have to come here, or your health will be broken again. Go back sooner, and you won’t be punished by the nurses in the hospital. You are staying in a hospital, not a hotel, so you should be restrained and not be willful Don’t make things difficult for Jiu. Things shouldn’t be done this way. A patient should take good care of himself. Things don’t just need to be done in a hurry. The two of us will go together. .” After being sent to the train by Zhou Qiang, the man A saw Zhou rubbing his hands on the platform from the window, lowered his head and walked away with a sigh. unhappy.But this man, Zhou, had other thoughts on his mind, because he heard a rumor that many young people were arrested in the concession, and almost all of them were extradited by the police headquarters. Thinking of the future of Cai and his wife, this man is not sure. Eight Man A still went back to the hospital to stay. Because he took two trains, he felt dizzy when he got off the train. When I arrived at the hospital, I realized that all the things were still in the hospital. The nurse complained when she saw the man A. The doctor came over angrily, pressed his pulse, and tested his temperature. He shook his head with a cat face. "how?" "No, it's not okay like this! The blood will still flow out after another ride. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." "I'm a little dizzy." "Yes, that's for sure. Not only are you dizzy, but your heart is also very weak. Why do you have to go to Shanghai to play?" "I'm really not playing!" The doctor seemed to deny his complaint, and said, "Needless to say, my husband, just take some medicine." He went outside and poured some white powder on the medicine shelf, and put it in a small room. In the glass, I poured something like brandy, and the medicine in the glass foamed up, and it was sent to Man A's mouth to eat.Seeing the doctor after taking the medicine, he also used the air of an unseemly doctor to finish his work, his eyes widened, and he gave the nurse a dry and tasteless smile, left the patient, and changed his clothes. Nine At dusk, girl Jiu and fifth girl Yu and Zhu came to the hospital to see man A.正谈到女人蔡被捕的事,几个年青富于同情心的女人都觉得心里非常难过。到后又说到热天如何可以江边游泳,忽然听到有人在病院门前说淹死了一个学生,大家皆一惊,站起身了。原来是病院的一个厨子,才从江边得到这消息,就赶回来报告,这时正被一些看护同一些办事人包围到那厨子询问情形。 只听到谁问,“是什么时候?” “是刚才的事。” “是什么人?”又有谁这样问。 “是学生!” “是什么学校的学生?” “是××的女学生。” 几个女人正在房中听到这个话,哎呀叫了一声,一窝蜂跑出到院子中来了。 女生玉到那报信人身边去。 “是××女学生么?” “是的,有许多在看,听说抬到学校去了。” 女孩玖赶即回到房中,告男子A,声音也打着抖:“二哥,学校有女同学投了江,真吓人!” “是女同学么?” “那人说是的。” 这时五同朱也进来了,就同声说道: “真是不得了的事情,投江的事!” 玉也进房了,说,“我们转去,看看是谁,就去!” 大家都觉得应当赶到学校去看看,但几个人一出病院,看到有十多人抬了一个人从江边大路绕向病院来了,走到前面一点的就嘶声的乱喊可以救还可以救的。女孩玖等让到一边,死人就抬进了医院,看护们忙着乱跑乱叫,到后是把人安置到一个空房间里。 驻院的辅助医生匆匆忙忙从人丛里拿了一些瓶罐挤进了房,又挤出去找到了一个电炉,第二次奋勇的挤进去。医生且帮助了看护把所有人皆赶出房外,才赶紧脱解了女人所有全身的衣服,做着一切应做的抢救手续。 在男子A的房中,女孩玖等皆全身发抖,一句话说不出口。女生玉为人好事,就一个人走到人丛里去,乘到另外一个看护拿了东西进房时,就一挤也进到那病房里去了。 但不到一会这女人象癫子一样又走出来回到男子A房中了。 “哎呀!哎呀!不得了,不得了,是密司×!是密司×!” “呀,是×吗?”三个女人皆同时如一条弹簧惊起。 “是你们楼上那个×吗?”男子A也大惊了,还以为是另外一个×。 但女生玉却答应,“是的,我看到她的脸,我看到她的衣服,是她!是她!”玉说到这里就哭了。 one 房中人皆觉得为一个炸雷所打击,大家第二次又喑哑了。 女孩玖哭了。 女生五同朱也哭了。 在男子A的心中,忽然悟到了什么,把手肘一撑,一个搁在床边小茶几上的茶杯跌到地上了。 这时大约学校方面已经得了信,赶来许多人看热闹,一个院子塞满了人,喧嚷不已,且争想要到房中去看看究竟这女人是谁。医生满脑是汗,从窗上伸出一个头来,极力控制着自己的愤怒,说:“先生们,请你们把闲杂人赶出去,我才好做事!” 于是看热闹的人一哄皆出去了。但是学生还是越来越多。 稍过了一会,医生第二次又从窗口伸出头来了,很忧愁的说道:“先生们,先生们,如果你们还想你同学能够有希望再活到这个世界上,同你们一样呼吸吵闹,请你们暂且出去,不然实在不行!” 于是有几个人记起了是吃晚饭的时候,就大声喊道:“全体出去!全体出去!”所以象散戏一样,全体络绎退出去了。 因为听到院子中转成清静,男子A从床上爬起,披了衣走到院子中,才知道医院大门已关,所有看热闹人皆回校吃晚饭去了,就走到那投水人房间窗下去听了一会,只听到里面医生气喘的声音,以及骨节转动的声音。男子A仍然回到了房中,望到四人还在抽咽。 女生朱坐到一旁望灯,玉同五也望到灯,玖则还在拭泪,大家皆觉得非常凄凉,说不出一句话来。男子A就说:“不要这样子,玖!有救,医生还在努力,大概稍过一会就会活了。” 女孩玖愀然作苦笑,“二哥,她前天还说帮我打手套!” 女生玉就说,“不知道这女人为什么要这样死去。” 女生五说,“我看到她那性格,就疑心过她。” 女生朱好象独独非常清楚这件事情的因缘,就对到男子A苦笑。 病院外有人拍门,门开了,一些吃饱了晚饭的大学生,听到这件事,兴致很好的随了校中办事人来到医院,又把病房包围了。 到后来就有学生因为想喝一杯茶的原因,到男子A房里来看先生的病,因为见到有许多女子在房中,就借故说了半天的话。四个女人方记起也应当吃饭去了,所以四个人就走了。 ten 在病院中的女生×,经过医生用人工呼吸法救治了许多时候,到八点时人已经醒转来,到八点半则已完全清醒了。这女人第一件事就是要医院派人送她回学校宿舍,当然这是做不到的事。医生因认为这时候非到医院安静的睡眠一晚,不易恢复心上的疲劳,且认为在这时候接见任何人皆不相宜,就嘱咐门房任何人皆不能见病人。到后就为这女人打了两针,又给了些温牛奶同一粒药片就让她睡眠了。 那帮同施手术的女看护,到九点时来男子A房中换热水袋。 男子A问她,“人活了么?” “好了。”看护轻轻的说着,语音很觉沉郁。 “为什么事知道么?” “为什么事谁知道?一个女人,要这样子任性,总不外是恋爱一件事罢了。” “你看到许多女人是这样自杀么?” 那看护,一面做事一面摇头,到后又似乎以为摇头是错了,就又慢洋洋的说道: “这大约是有先例的事,女子就只会这样做人,虽说平时很聪明,一遇到这些事就愚蠢了。” 男子A似乎很觉得害羞,为看护的话把男子骄傲打倒,不能再说其他的话了。当这看护带上门走出时,就心想:若果你这看护能勇敢的爱,又因我误解了你更勇敢的去自杀,我将毫无留恋的陪到她死去,还是毫不关心的尽其自然? 在睡以前,男子A也曾追究到过这自杀者的心情,以及使她自杀的各样因缘。他在那另外一时节所得的信上,仿佛看到了女人×的悲哀所在,但在平时常常见到这女人,就从没有可以证实那猜想的事情,所以到后还自嘲神经敏感,近于病态,不得不好好睡了。 eleven 女生×很早的由一个看护陪到了自己宿舍,把箱子中几封信取出来,擦了自来火,一封一封点燃烧掉了。整理了一下所有东西,把一封退学的信交到门房,又即刻同看护回到医院去了。 twelve 在病院的院子里,从学校返身的女子×,遇到了早起的男子A。两眼相对望了一会,女生×似乎想要说一句什么话的神气,又似乎是等候男子A说一句什么话的神气,游移了小小时间,到后却惨然一笑回到自己所住的病室去了。男子A觉得心中全结了冰,不能再在这院子里发痴,就走到江边,看到有几个学生在堤边一个地方指指点点,看那地方雪地践踏得稀烂,晓得那一定就是昨夜这悲剧发生的地点。 他以为这女人若是恋爱自杀,必定是想到一个极完全的年青男子。他居然就这样起了一种空想:“我是不会有这种女人来爱了!”并且记起了刚才在病院所见到的女生×,一个柔弱得如一朵百合的身体,心中非常悲哀起来。 written in 1929
