Horse head wall

The math teacher was taken aback by Wang Hongli's appearance, "What's wrong? Why are your eyes bleeding?"

Wang Hongli was also frightened by the math teacher's words, "Ah?! Bleeding?"

He wanted to touch it with his hands, but Tao Xuan firmly held his wrists, "There are bacteria, don't touch them." The math teacher hurriedly arranged noon exercises and took two students to find the head teacher.

"How did you get your eyes? Are your eyes hurting?" The head teacher was correcting his English homework. Seeing that the blood on Wang Hongli's face was still wet, he asked what happened.

"I don't feel it in my eyes, but the corners of my eyes are a little itchy." Wang Hongli replied honestly.

Tao Xuan briefly explained to the head teacher what happened just now, "Maybe the shards of glass hit the corner of the eye."

The homeroom teacher frowned, "Okay, I see, Tao You, you and I will go to the hospital with Wang Hongli, so as not to hurt the cornea."

After finishing speaking, she lifted her coat from the back of the chair and prepared to take Wang Hongli to see a doctor.

There is no big hospital in Tao Town, and there is only Tao Town Health Center within a few kilometers of the surrounding area. The health service center is Tao Town Health Center. The head teacher felt that being scratched by glass shards was not a trivial matter, so he drove him to the People's Hospital in the county.

A slit lamp is needed to check the health of the cornea. There is no ophthalmology department in the emergency department of the People's Hospital, and the outpatient clinic starts at 2:00 in the afternoon. The class teacher helped Wang Hongli register, and the three of them waited together on the chair in the registration hall.

The blood in the corners of his eyes was almost dry, and the scabs on his face were very uncomfortable. Wang Hongli wanted to go to the toilet to get some water to wipe off.As soon as he got up from the chair, Tao Xuan immediately turned around and asked him what he was doing.

"I want to wash off the blood, it's a little uncomfortable."

The head teacher was a woman, so it was inconvenient, so Tao Xuan was asked to accompany Wang Hongli to wipe the blood.

The faucet was turned on a little bit, leaking the pattering water line, the white ceramics of the washbasin were a little dark yellow, and the movable water plug at the bottom of the pool was rusty and stained with other things.

Wang Hongli soaked the paper towel under the faucet and raised his hand to the mirror to wipe it.

"Let me do it, you can't see clearly like this." Tao Xuan took the wet tissue and slightly supported his right cheek with the other hand. Wang Hongli was injured on his left eye.

Wang Hongli obediently turned his head to Tao Xuan's side, and Tao Ling's hand wiped lightly, blowing on his face like a spring breeze, gentle and careful.Wang Hongli suddenly felt that there was no place to put his hands. He put them in his trouser pockets for a while, took them out for a while, and held them together. His eyes seemed to have no place to put them. He stared at the ground and became cross-eyed after a while, and stared at the ceiling as if rolling his eyes. He sighed He took a breath and turned his gaze to the mirror.

Tao Xuan's side profile is very good-looking, because he has a straight nose, slightly long eyelashes that seem to reach people's hearts, and the side line of his jaw is smooth and curved. Wang Hongli thinks that the beauties in Jiangnan are nothing more than this.

As he watched, his eyes drifted away.

Tao Xuan wiped off the blood on Wang Hongli's face, and saw that Wang Hongli looked at him in the mirror as if his eyes were out of focus, and he also looked back at Wang Hongli in the mirror. Feel affectionate.

Wang Hongli was shy again from being stared at. Every time he looked at Tao Huan, he would be the first to lose.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Wang Hongli muttered, and the villain complained first.

"You were the one who stared at me first, okay?" Tao Xuan was amused by his nonsensical words, turned sideways, and threw the blood-stained tissue into the trash can.

The homeroom teacher called the two of them outside the toilet, and a doctor had already started visiting.

The chairs outside the clinic were full of waiting patients and accompanying family members.

Most of the children and the elderly who come to the ophthalmology department, children bounce around with their parents to the hospital to get glasses, and the old people tremblingly come to check the health of their eyes.

There were many people crowded in the corridor, the head teacher led Wang Hongli into the consultation room, Tao Xuan didn't block the door, and found an empty seat in the waiting hall to stand.

"Look, I usually don't protect my eyes well, and I insist on wearing glasses to be cool, but now I've ruined my eyes, wearing a pair of biscuits, do you know how to cry now?" The young woman dragged her nose soaked The child, the child looked six or seven years old, with glasses for correcting amblyopia on his nose, and one lens was wrapped in cloth.He has short legs, walks at every step, and walks crookedly. The woman squats down, takes out a tissue from her pocket, and blows the child's nose. The sound of the child's stuffy nose sounds cute, which makes his mother laugh. Turning his head, the snot got on the woman's hand.

"Is it dirty, little sloppy." The woman spoke the Huizhou dialect very authentically, with a gentle tone, and Tao Xuan only understood the first half of the sentence.

The child forgot to shed tears, turned his tears into laughter, and pestered his mother to hug him.

The young woman held the case bag in one hand and held the child in the other, lifting her frail body effortlessly.

Tao Xuan watched the woman walking away with the child in her arms, retracted his gaze, and turned to look down at the ground. The PVC floor had no connection, and the blue was like a sea. His eyes were a little tired after looking at it for a long time, and there was a blur in his vision. White aperture.

Tao Xuan couldn't remember what his mother's hug was like.

After living in Pingshan Village for so many years, except for the time in the third grade, his mother never visited him again.

When Xiao Shengchu’s mother took him to the United States for a month during the summer vacation, Tao Xuan basically stayed alone in his apartment in Seattle. The apartment is located on a busy street. Every day, Tao Xuan watched the sunrise and sunset of foreign countries , Looking at the busy traffic and all kinds of people downstairs.

The huge apartment is like a silent cage.

Seattle doesn’t have Wang Hongli’s company, Tao’s noise, rhubarb’s soft dog fur, and hot meals. His mother’s work progress is at a critical moment, and sometimes it’s already nine in the evening when she returns to the apartment. It was ten o'clock, and she left money and bread for Tao Xuan. The bread used to satisfy her hunger was dry, and the only thing that could go with her meal was a few bags of instant coffee scattered on the coffee table.

He also went downstairs and walked around. The modern buildings are very similar to Guangzhou, but they have nothing in common with Huizhou.Row upon row of office buildings are full of employees carrying briefcases in a hurry. The glass skin of the building turns back the sunlight. The reflected light makes Tao Xuan feel uncomfortable. Everything in this city is so indifferent and so bizarre.That day, Tao Xuan got lost in Seattle. His mother called the police and spent the night looking for him.

Tao Xuan's mother searched almost the entire city with the police, and finally found Tao Xuan in a 24-hour store in Chinatown. He was standing among the horizontal and vertical shelves, bent slightly, and was picking out pendants. Contrary to his mother's anxious attitude, Tao Xuan unhurriedly picked out a fish-shaped one and sent it to the cashier for payment. He looked at the woman at the door of the shop. The woman was still wearing her work attire, the whites of her eyes were bloodshot, and her hair was a little messy.

When he found that the surrounding environment was strange, Tao Xuan knew that he was lost. At first he was apprehensive, but after turning around a few unknown blocks, his apprehension calmed down inexplicably. No one would care that this is a lost child, he even hopes to go on like this forever.

He walked past the ice cream trucks parked on the street, past the coffee shops with wafting aromas, past the squares and fountains full of white pigeons, but what he thought of was the mountains of Huizhou, the water of Huizhou, the beauty of Huizhou. people.

Tao Xuan could understand what the police said to his mother in English, but he didn't listen carefully. His English is not bad.After finding Tao Xuan, the capable woman seemed to have completed her task. She relaxed her stiff neck and her expression became peaceful.

Tao Xuan wanted to cry when he saw the woman, but he didn't expect his mother to find him.She stepped on her high-heeled shoes and walked towards him with still decent steps.

He thought the woman would give him a comforting hug.

But she didn't, she just took Tao Xuan's hand and walked out of the 24-hour shop calmly.

The dawn in Seattle is coming soon, the morning light is slowly opening, the blue and black cannot cover the rising orange, the whole sky is like an oil painting drawn by God, gorgeous and charming.

"Why are you in a daze?" Wang Hongli's shoes appeared in Tao Xuan's sight.

Tao Xuan's thoughts were stripped from the memory, and he raised his head, "It will be healed so soon? What did the doctor say?" "The doctor said it doesn't matter, but the skin on the corner of the eye is scratched, and the cornea is fine. The teacher helped me get the medicine." .”

The wound at the corner of the eye could not be infected. The doctor prescribed chlortetracycline eye ointment. The head teacher asked them to stay in the hall and take the prescription to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

The wound on the corner of Wang Hongli's eye was not big, and it was not very clear to the naked eye. There was some redness around the cut, and there was a little bruising around the eye.

A slight tinge of fear emerged from Tao Xuan's heart. This kind of feeling was both strange and familiar, as if it had happened several years ago.

The hospital was full of people, shoulder to shoulder, obviously surrounded by mountains and seas, but Tao Xuan seemed to be unable to hear the noisy voices, and still felt empty.The people coming and going are like photos developed from old film, blurred and distorted, leaving only the people in front of them with vivid colors. Tao Xuan suddenly wants a hug, a hug that can fill an empty heart .When Wang Hongli came to his senses, he was already hugged by Tao Xuan. There were many hugs between them—hands around shoulders, but this was the first time such a hug. Holding his waist and pressing the back of his head with the other hand, like Siamese twins, the beating of the heart in the chest seems to be able to resonate, and the two are tightly attached to each other, inseparable from each other in the crowd.

Wang Hongli slowly raised his arms around Tao Xuan's waist, and let the boy hug him quietly.

The body in his arms was warm, and Tao Xuan remembered a book of essays he had read before, which was written by Zhang Xiaoxian.

There is a sentence written in it:

"It feels so good to hug, it's a physical comfort, an earthly reward."
