Chapter 58 Section 3

Then, something went wrong. I never thought that I would go to jail, never, I think I am just a stupid person, big-handed, stupid, people can learn it once, I have to learn it three times, maybe I will still fail when I get started.At the vegetable market that day, too, many people saw that the Honda car knocked down the old lady who was picking up vegetables, but they didn't make a sound, but I couldn't suppress my fiery temper and threw a brick... I thought I was the worst If he is detained for a few more days, he will be fined if he pays some money.In the end, he got three years in prison.

A child who grew up on the prairie was detained in a high wall for three full years, which is equivalent to discounting the legs of a fine horse!In order to get out of prison earlier, I went all out, what kind of hard work would I do, carrying sandbags, transporting stones, repairing locomotives, when I took a breath, I thought of Shaoling, recalling the days when I was at the same table with her, recalling walking with her Every road: blue sky, snow-white clouds, grasslands farther than clouds... I also secretly calculated her age, is she twenty-one, twenty-two, or twenty-three this year?Are you already married?Her mother is a well-known infatuated girl in the village. She has been waiting for an educated youth all her life. I don't know if Shaoling will... Will it be something?Will you wait for me?Stop dreaming, Zhang Dashan!You are just a prisoner!A prisoner who will never hold his head up in the future!

Through the iron gate, looking at the cold moon hanging high in the sky, my face was full of tears without knowing it... After I was released from prison, I quickly inquired about her: After graduating from university, I went back to my hometown to set up a nursing home, should I look for her?What do you want her to do with this unlucky ex-prisoner?Did he bring bad luck to her? Later, I heard that something happened to the nursing home, and the door was closed, and her mother, who had been infatuated all her life, also passed away.Can I go to her now?Will it make her feel that I am taking advantage of others?Let's just wait...

In this way, until today. She thought it was just a chance meeting, but in fact I saw the weather was bad, so I specially drove Jinbei to a place near the county hospital, intending to watch her get on the bus back home before leaving.Unexpectedly, she waited and waited until she got off work. By the time she walked out of the gate of the county hospital, it was already dark as if ink had been splashed on it.The wind and sand blowing all over the sky made her eyes half-closed, and seeing her standing on tiptoe to see if there was a car coming, I suddenly felt a burst of heartache. After thinking and thinking, thinking about countless situations of being rejected, I finally mustered up the courage like I did when I was a student, drove the car in front of her, and slowly rolled down the window.

So, the moment she boarded the car, I was so excited, I thought I had really waited... So, when I walked into the lakeside building, I was suddenly attacked, and after a while of fighting, I looked at the corpse lying in front of me, and I was terrified. A big rock sank to the bottom of the lake again... However, seeing what happened, Shaoling did not blame me for killing someone, did not abandon me to escape, did not persuade me to surrender, but came up with a plan to protect me. Of course, the most important thing is the sentence she said herself—— I just want you to wait for me. I think, with Shaoling, I will be able to avoid this disaster, fate will not be so harsh on me, and will not always throw me a hope and then kill it!Even though the sky was full of wind and sand outside the window, and even though the room was dark and dead, I could see very clearly that Shaoling had been waiting for me.I can work hard with my own hands, farm work, grazing, driving, motor repair, house decoration, stone processing... I can do everything, I must work hard to make money, help Shaoling rebuild the nursing home, and her Live a good life together, let her live a good life...

So, Zhang Dashan recalled that ancient song, which was many years ago, when he and Shaoling were walking in the park in the middle of the street, he heard an old Mongolian man singing with a matouqin. He has never forgotten that song, but as time goes by, he can't remember the last two lines of the lyrics: Thick wormwood burns like wildfire, Cooking smoke accompanied by mist covered the eyes. Is your shadow faintly in the distance? In the twilight I look around-- looking for you, Like a goshawk looking for a rock. The cow-dung fire in the hearth is extinguished, A lonely harness pole in the corner,

The sound of the bell is you driving the sheep home late? With bated breath I listened— in love with you, Just like a horse loves the grassland. I have no herds of sheep, I have no silver saddle, The past makes me frown, Fate has kept me silent. I lay down silently in the dark— During countless bitter nights, he could only lie down silently, waiting, waiting, but what he waited for was one darker bitterness after another.However, at this moment, a little bit of hope, a little bit of dream about a better life in the future, rekindled in Zhang Dashan's heart.The two lines of lyrics that I had forgotten before resurfaced in my mind as if they were gradually rising from the bottom of a lake that had been submerged for a long time.

He gently moved the loveseat against the west wall... I lay down silently in the dark— waiting for you As night awaits day... ——End of the full text——
