wilderness

In the following week, Shazi underwent two more electric shock treatments.When he entered the treatment room for the last time, after the electric current stimulated the brain, the doctor turned off the switch and said to him: "Chen Qing, it's over."

The idiot lay weakly on the chair, too tired to move his fingers, but this time he was not unconscious, "I...I'm fine?" His voice has recovered. I don't know if it's because of the damage to the vocal cords last time. It has changed a lot, no longer sounding like a child, but calm down.

The doctor smiled, "I have done everything that should be done, and the rest is up to you."

Sister Zhao and Uncle Chen sent him back to the ward, and went to the office as ordered by the doctor.

"Do you think Chen Qing has changed?" The doctor asked while tapping the table.

Sister Zhao thought for a while, "There should be some, I feel... not as silly as before?"

Uncle Chen also nodded, "But recently, it seems that he has become quiet, always thinking about something..."

The doctor hummed, "It seems that he is slowly recovering, but it is still a bit difficult to make him suddenly recover from seven or eight years old to seventeen or eighteen years old, and it needs to be done step by step. By the way, the medicines I prescribed are on schedule. Did you feed him?"

"Eat, eat, let's watch him eat."

"Okay, then you can go through the discharge procedures and go home." The doctor took the case book and wrote on it.

"Ah? Now we can go home?" Sister Zhao couldn't believe it.

"That's right, the curative effect is already there. Do you still want him to experience electric shocks a few more times? That taste..."

"No, no, enough, enough, don't come..." Sister Zhao felt distressed when she thought of the fool who had just been shocked by the electric shock.

The doctor smiled at her, "Even if you want to, you can't do it anymore. If you do too much, it will still have side effects... In fact, hospitalization is nothing more than being taken care of by doctors and nurses. Now Chen Qing only needs to take medicine on time You can do this at home. After all, City S is the place where he has lived for more than ten years. When he is recuperating at home, you can also make some nutritional supplements for him. At least it is better than in the hospital, and let him see more It’s also good to see familiar people and things.”

Sister Zhao was also a little happy at the thought of being able to go home, "That's fine if it doesn't affect you, but if something happens..." She hesitated for a moment.

"Let Mr. Chen contact me immediately if you have something to do. It stands to reason that there will be nothing wrong at this point. Chen Qing's physical fitness is very good, and he should be able to recover faster than others."

"That's good...thank you doctor!" The two of them were about to go out to complete the discharge procedures with their medical records.

"Wait," the doctor stopped the two of them again, "Chen Qing is currently recovering and may be more sensitive to some things, so...Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, you still need to change the name you call him, don't call him Silly, don't mention anything related to silly words."

"Okay, okay." The two agreed repeatedly.

After completing the discharge procedures, he returned home soon.

The idiot looked at the signboard with the words "Chen Ji Noodle Shop" hanging in front of his house, as if seeing it for the first time, and he read it many times.

There is also a notice of "Closing business due to emergency" on the rolling gate, and the date shown on it is already one and a half months ago.

Uncle Chen tore off the page of the notice, opened the door, and the familiar smell immediately came over his face.

"Silly...Qingqing, let's go, let's go in!" Sister Zhao took out her luggage from the car and exclaimed, "Finally home!"

"It's better at home! By the way, do you still remember what day it is today?" Uncle Chen took all the things with a smile on his face.

"Of course I remember!" Sister Zhao took the fool's hand, "Today is October No. 11, our Qingqing's birthday!"

"It's such an important day, let's buy a cake to celebrate this afternoon!" Uncle Chen suggested.

"Okay! I'll pack up my things now, Old Chen, go to sleep for a while, and call you at noon."

After they all had a good rest, the three of them went out together in the evening and took the ordered cake home.

Like birthdays in previous years, Sister Zhao personally inserted candles and put on the birthday hat for the fool.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." The three clapped their hands and sang the song.

"Okay, it's Qingqing's favorite part of blowing candles and making wishes again! Do you still remember what wish you made last year?"

The fool thought for a while, "There are a lot of sweets to eat..."

"What about this year?" Sister Zhao asked with a smile.

The fool stared at the candle for a while, and then blew it out in one breath, "I'm going to find Qiaoqiao!" He said firmly.

The smile on Sister Zhao's face froze, "Qingqing..."

The fool looked up at her, "Mom, let me go find Qiaoqiao."

Uncle Chen shook his head and said, "Silly boy, the doctor said you need to rest now, besides, do you know where Qiaoqiao is?"

The fool nodded quickly, "I know where he is," he swallowed, and begged, "Let me go, okay?"

"Do you really want to go to Qiaoqiao?" Sister Zhao asked seriously.

The fool nodded.

"Then I'll go with you, I don't worry about you." Sister Zhao said.

The fool refused, "No, I will go by myself."

"Qingqing, don't mess around anymore, do you know how hard your mother has been for you these past few months?" Uncle Chen stared at him sullenly.

The fool nodded silently, "I'll be back soon..."

"No, you can't go anywhere, you can't have any more accidents!" Uncle Chen shook his head, cut the cake into eight pieces with a knife, and divided them among everyone.

The fool lowered his head and remained silent.

"Qingqing?" Sister Zhao handed him the fork, "This is your favorite cake..."

The idiot doesn't speak and doesn't take the cake.

Sister Zhao sighed and looked at Uncle Chen, who also helplessly supported his forehead.

After a while, Sister Zhao went upstairs to get something and came down, she put the thing in the fool's hand, "Qingqing, this is your ID card, you have to take it to buy tickets, remember, don't talk to others on the road, Don't drink the water that others give you, do you understand? Remember to call your mother when you get there..."

The idiot took the ID card, and his eyes were blank in the boxy photo. He still clearly remembered that when he went to take the ID photo, he was pressed on a stool by his mother, and his face was turned to face the camera. , and then a white light flashed, and the person sitting in front of the computer said indifferently, "Okay," and let himself go.

"Qingqing, happy birthday." Sister Zhao held him in her arms, saying that she was hugging him, but in fact her height was only up to the fool's shoulders, and at some point, she could only cuddle up to her son.

"Thank you, Mom." The fool hugged her back, and kissed her on the cheek, "Thank you."

The fool successfully bought a ticket to City Y. Before leaving, Sister Zhao and Uncle Chen took him to the station and told him: "If someone asks your name, just say your name is Chen Qing, and don't say anything else." Also, you and I know your dad's mobile phone number by heart, right?"

The fool nodded, "I'm familiar with it, I'll call you when I arrive."

"Okay...okay." Sister Zhao watched him walk into the station with his bag on his back, feeling melancholy and relieved, "Qingqing has grown up, and can go out on her own."

Uncle Chen stood beside her, "When Halal is ready, we will leave this shop to him. Do you want to live a leisurely life or open another shop? It's up to you."

Sister Zhao glanced at him, "Didn't I tell you last year that I fell in love with the store on the street in the supermarket? If you don't win it, it will be snatched away by others!"

"Okay, okay, I will accompany you if you are willing to be tired. Let's try to open Chen Ji Noodle Restaurant into a chain store and open it all over the country!" Uncle Chen laughed.

The idiot sat in the car, recalling the details of getting along with Gu Beiqiao in his heart. At that time, he didn't feel anything. Now it seems that the paste in his head has been removed, and the gauze covering his head has been torn. behavior is somewhat unusual.As for the wilderness, he doesn't seem to be traveling, he just comes back after looking at it, it's more like staying there with the determination to never return.

He didn't know the people there, and he didn't understand the environment there, so how could he stay?

The more the fool thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he wished he could go to the grassland immediately.

A day later, he came to the passenger station of the special line to the prairie. The bus was still full without tickets, so he chartered a car and decided to visit several scenic spots on the prairie within a few days.

The driver master heard that he was going to find someone, so he sneered: "Which school do you want to find someone? Go to the grassland?" He shook his head, "I don't know where he lives, and I don't have a loudspeaker to help you." Report, what is the difference between this and finding a needle in a haystack?"

The fool said: "I will definitely find him."

"Anyway, I'll send it to you. You can find it yourself. We'll walk along the route of the bus within four days. Whether you can find it or not, you have to leave after four days, okay?" The driver issued an ultimatum. .

The fool had no choice but to nod in agreement.

High mountains and deep valleys all the way, covered with snow caps.The fool imagined the scene when Gu Beiqiao was walking on this road. Did he come here alone?What is he thinking?Will you be afraid?

When the fool arrived at a destination, he started looking for people. He stopped many people and asked if they had seen Gu Beiqiao.

Some who could understand Chinese waved their hands and told him in substandard Mandarin that they hadn’t seen them, and some simply stared at him, and finally he had no choice but to give up.

The fool searched for the evening from daytime, asked all the staff in the scenic spot, and also asked the people who opened shops nearby, but no one had seen Gu Beiqiao.

"Xiao Chen, why don't you call the police, isn't it more useful to ask the police uncle to help you than to look for it yourself?" The driver persuaded him seeing his distraught look.

The fool shook his head, "He doesn't even have an ID card."

"Who are you looking for..." the driver muttered, "Forget it, don't worry, isn't there three more days?"

The fool looked at the sky, so he had to open a room to rest.

The grassland in October is already cold winter, and the grassland suddenly seemed empty after seeing off the tourists for the [-]th Golden Week.It was snowing again at night, and the store owner kindly reminded him that there would be heavy snow in the next few days, and told him to pay attention to the cold.

The idiot didn't prepare enough this time, and didn't bring much thick clothes, so he had to buy another military coat to keep warm.

The driver laughed when he saw it: "If you wear a dog fur hat again, people will think you are a bandit!"

The idiot looked in the mirror, looked at himself with no expression on his face, raised his sword eyebrows, and had a fierce look on his face, as expected, he was a bit gangster, so he couldn't help but also smiled.

The next three days were long and short for him. He visited several major scenic spots on the grassland and asked all the people he could ask, but there was still no trace of Gu Beiqiao.

The fool thought: Could it be that I was thinking too much?He's home now?

But somehow, he had a feeling that Gu Beiqiao was still on the grassland, and the two of them could see the same snow mountain when they looked up.

The driver urged him: "Xiao Chen, forget it, go down and find the police uncle for help, if a big living person is missing, you must call the police, it's strange if you can find it here!"

The fool wrapped his army coat tightly, looked at the vast snow field, and had no choice but to get in the car.

I don’t know if I drank too much water before leaving. The driver couldn’t help but look for the toilet after driving downhill for a long time. There is no public toilet for miles on the road. How can there be a toilet for you?

"Master, there seems to be a village ahead, do you want to go there and ask?" Just when the driver couldn't help but want to liberate by the side of the road, the fool poked his head and saw a dozen small buildings at the foot of the mountain, because they were covered by snow, Can't find it by accident.

"Okay, okay." The driver hurriedly stepped on the accelerator, and rushed to the door of the house in a short while.

In front of the door of a small two-story building, there are two little girls who are weaving auspicious knots. They seem to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Tashi Dele! Borrow a toilet!" The driver greeted the two little girls at the door, covering his stomach.

The two little girls smiled and pointed to a simple toilet next to them, and stretched out a finger, "One yuan at a time."

"Okay, let him pay for it!" The driver couldn't take it anymore, and turned around and shouted at the fool, "Xiao Chen! Come down and pay me a dollar!" After speaking, he rushed to the toilet.

The fool reluctantly found a piece of change, got out of the car and handed it to one of the little girls, and let him breathe.

The five-color auspicious knots made by the two little girls are very delicate.Seeing him looking at himself, one girl glanced at him secretly, and then asked the other in a low voice, "Raj, when will that brother Tashi from your family marry you?"

The Tibetan girl named Laji lowered her head shyly, "Abba said that when spring comes, let him go up the mountain to graze yaks for me for three years."

"Your family's brother Tashi is more handsome than him," the little girl glanced at the fool, "it's a pity, it's a Cuban."

Raj gave her an unhappy look, then turned away from her.

"Angry?" The girl shook her arm, and said narrowly, "Should I call Brother Tashi to coax you?" She raised her head and shouted upstairs: "Cuba, Raj is angry, come and coax you!" Coax her!"

The fool's eyes followed her to look up, and saw a person leaning against the railing on the second floor. The person was wearing a thick Tibetan gown and was tightly wrapped. He didn't seem to hear the sound downstairs. Look up at the distant sky.

The idiot seemed to be frozen, staring at him without blinking, his face was pale from the cold, the tip of his nose was flushed, and the white air he exhaled lingered around his face for a long time.

"Brother Tashi, don't listen to her nonsense!" Raj threw the colorful auspicious knot on the girl, "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will tell Dad!"

The man finally lowered his brows and looked down, and his eyes happened to meet the fool's. He was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his head and looked at the sky as if nothing had happened. There seemed to be nothing in those eyes, only snow.

The author has something to say: Cuba: Tibetan, meaning dumb. (Baidu, don’t hit me if I’m wrong~)

It is said that Han people want to stay in Tibetan areas and marry Tibetan girls as wives, as long as they stay and herd yaks for three years~ and Han girls want to stay in Tibetan areas, as long as they can have children and pass on the family line, but women have no status there. . . (A Tibetan Dolma told me)
