[Waiting for the end of the world] Dongli chrysanthemum

Eleven became more and more anxious as he searched, and his heart became colder. A street was about to end, and someone behind him called him in a low voice: "Young man! Young man!"

He turned around and saw an old man with a straw hat on his head. The old man turned his face to the other side, lowered his head, and the straw hat covered most of his face. Go to the willow side, hurry up!"

Perhaps because he was afraid of being seen, he left quickly. Eleven didn't even have time to say thank you, but secretly remembered the old man's appearance and voice, turned and ran towards Sankeliu Street.

The man took Liumei to Sankeliu Street and said, "It's just ahead."

The reason why Sankeliu Street is called this is because there are three old willow trees in the shape of a Chinese character on the side of the street. When the green shade spreads out in summer, it can block the sun in the big area. It is a good place to enjoy the cool air in summer. At first, some old people Playing chess in the cool air, later a bunch of gangsters gathered there, and the good people left on their own initiative, and it became a gathering place for gangsters.

A semi-old van was parked under the thickest willow tree, one side of the door was open, and a middle-aged man was sitting in the driver's seat. After a moment of light, the car door was not even closed, and the car was turned sideways, skillfully blocking the entrance of the alley, blocking a lot of sight.

Sixth Sister asked, "Where's the gold?"

"I'm hiding in the alley, let's go there." The man was a little anxious, and reached out to hold her hand.

As soon as the sixth sister broke free, she broke away from the man's control, took a step back and said, "Don't touch me!"

She was a little angry, and the man was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Liu Mei saw something, but when he looked carefully, Liu Mei just didn't like being touched by others, so she smiled softly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't touch you! Let's go, Just a few steps away."

Now men can also see that this woman doesn't seem to have a good brain. She doesn't look like an adult, but a child of a few years old. It's a pity. Arrived.Besides, there is a child on his back, killing two birds with one stone!

The terrain of Sankeliu Street is changeable, and the alleys are intricate. If outsiders go in, they will not be able to get out within an hour or two. The purpose of the man is to take Liumei to the van.

Sixth Sister stopped a few steps away from the van: "I won't go through, you can bring it here and let me see it for you."

"It's just a few steps away! That's gold, if someone sees it, they'll snatch it! You're a good woman, please!" The man smiled sincerely.

Sixth Sister bit her lip, the alley behind the van was cramped and gloomy, she didn't like it, she shook her head: "You take it here, no one will snatch it, I am very strong, if you dare to snatch it, I will help you beat him!"

The man was in a hurry, and he didn't want to talk to a silly woman who didn't know his mind. He grabbed Liumei's wrist, took out a square handkerchief from his pocket with the other hand, and quickly covered Liumei's face, while dragging her to the van. , The middle-aged man in the van also got off and came to help.

Something was sprayed on the handkerchief, and a strange smell poured into the nostrils. Sixth Sister was dizzy from the smoke. The bamboo basket behind her was tilted in a trance, and Qiuqiu let out a dissatisfied grunt. She quickly broke free from the man's hand and put When the bamboo basket was straightened, she saw two men trying to pull her away ferociously. Knowing that she met a bad guy, she called "bad guy" while punching and kicking indiscriminately. The man was kicked in his crotch by her, and he knelt down at that moment. He covered his crotch with both hands for a long time before he let out a scream.

When November arrived, Liumei was hugging the middle-aged man's waist and threw it hard. The middle-aged man was thrown a few meters away and hit the ground hard. After running back to the van and getting on the van, the man chased after him with weird steps on his two legs, and also got into the car.

Sixth Sister was angry, and before the van started, she held a long piece of wood supporting a willow tree with a crooked neck in her hand, and rushed over to smash the van. After bumping into the van a few times, several holes were smashed into the van compartment, and all the glass was shattered. , The two people in the car ran away with their heads in their hands in fright, and escaped into the alley.

Eleven's heart relaxes, and seeing that Sixth Sister is still smashing the car to vent her anger, she quickly grabs her, and the two turn back to look for Sixth Uncle.

The daughter was lost and found, Uncle Six couldn't help scolding: "Didn't I tell you to wait there, you can find your cousin! After leaving with the bad guys, what should I do if I can't find Dad and Brother Tu again! You silly daughter... "

Sixth Sister was wronged: "He said he picked up gold, let me help to see if it's true..." Shiny gold!Sixth Sister missed her gold jewelry very much, and Sixth Uncle had a headache. Why did he wear gold jewelry in the first place?I spoil my daughter too much, this is it!Eleven said: "Go back and let Brother Tu play for you, okay? Don't go with someone you don't know next time."

After this incident, when the money was withdrawn on the [-]th, the bull market was almost dispersed, only a few sparse cows were not pulled away, and it seemed that their coat color and teeth were not very good. Most of them were old cows, and they could only be slaughtered if they were bought. Instead of eating meat, Uncle Liu took Eleven around and shook his head: "Go back, we can only come back next time."

Eleven didn't know how to look at cattle, so he happened to walk up to a young man. He was a typical farmer. He was barefoot. There was a black and white skin parting line on his neck that was often exposed to the sun when he was doing farm work. His palms were rough. See them coming over. , looked up, but did not speak.

His cows are very thin, with arched backs and tails. His eyes are a little red, and the corners of the eyes are filled with tears and feces. It looks malnourished. Maybe it is because of the black cat. Eleven will unconsciously use it when he sees injured animals. Scanning with consciousness, the bones, blood vessels, and meridians can't find anything unusual. There is something bigger than a fist in the internal organs and the blue-black gallbladder. What is that?

Often surfing the Internet, and occasionally seeing some seemingly insignificant news, Eleven quickly concluded that it was bezoar.It is estimated that this young man did not know, otherwise he would not have brought the cattle out for sale.

"There is a lot of work in the field, so I can't come to the market early..." The butchers who buy cattle, butcher meat and sell them usually come to the bull market in the morning, but now it is past noon, and the sun is westward. Hui still had to rush home to work, "This cow weighed 1300 catties when I bought it, but now it's thinner, and there are hundreds of catties of meat after slaughtering it. You want to give it to you at a lower price."

Uncle Six pulled his sleeves and refused to buy. Eleven didn’t talk nonsense to the young man, and asked how much it was. The young man hesitated for a while, and gave an unexpected low price, probably because he was afraid that the only customer would turn around and leave. He didn’t have much money. Time wasted on this. He bought the cow, but it turned out to be like this. His heart ached to death. He didn't want to see it suffer. He sold it if he could.

Eleven bargained with him, and finally gave him 150 yuan less, and took the cattle away.

The young man put a wad of money in his arms, hooked his head and was about to go home, when an old man came rushing out of breath, and shouted from afar: "Baby! Yazai... Where's the cow? Sold?!"

The young man fell silent, ready to go home.

"You fool! Someone said that the cow might have bezoar! Bezoar! Bezoar that is more expensive than gold..." The old man was so excited that he gesticulated with both hands.

The young man said, but without any more words or expressions, he walked away with a pair of big feet, and the old man followed behind angrily.

Uncle Six was angry, why Nephew Jing was being stubborn again, and followed with a sigh, and younger sister asked, "Brother, this cow is sick, right? There is such a big stone in its stomach."

The sixth uncle was confused and scolded her: "How can there be stones in the cow's belly!"

After a while, I came back to my senses: "Stone? Girl, how do you know?"

"I can see it." The sixth younger sister was scolded, her mouth was pouted, and she stopped talking to her father.

Uncle Six knew he was wrong, so he quickly said, "Don't be angry with Dad, girl, how can you see what's inside the cow's stomach?"

"I just can see it." Sixth Sister didn't know how to explain it, so she said this.

Uncle Six looked at Eleven: "You can see it too?"

Eleven was noncommittal: "I've heard people say that such a cow may have bezoar, even if it doesn't, it's worth the price to slaughter and eat meat."

Now Uncle Six was in a hurry, and hurriedly urged him to go faster. When they came, they took a passing car, and they went back with a cow. Unless there was a car willing to pull it, they could only walk back step by step. After six or seven hours, it was dark when I got home.Eleven had no intention of letting Uncle Six and Younger Sister go back with him, so he stopped several cars, and an empty gravel truck was willing to take them, but the fare was 150 yuan, and Uncle Six's face darkened suddenly.

150 yuan is also willing, but the cow is not easy to get on the car, the driver is smart, parks the car on a slope, and the cow climbs the slope. Even if there is a drop of tens of centimeters, the [-]th will pull the cow up. , the cow mooed, it sounded miserable, Liumei coaxed it like a child.

When I got home, Uncle Liu went to find someone to slaughter a cow, Eleven rode a motorcycle to send Liumei back home, but my brother-in-law hadn’t come back yet, and because of the incident in the town, Eleven was worried that Liumei would be at home by herself, and repeatedly asked her not to follow him. When strangers talk, don't leave the house casually. Sixth Sister said, "Brother, you are so long-winded." Eleven sighed. He was scared to death today.It happened that an old lady from the neighbor came over, and Liumei had been taken care of by her during this time, so she told her what happened today and asked her to see Liumei if she was okay.The old woman was so frightened that she said something to Sixth Sister.

General Eleven bought some food in the town and gave some to the old lady before leaving.

There is a special place for slaughtering cattle, sheep and pigs in the village, which is usually used the most during the Chinese New Year. Uncle Six went to the village butcher. As a rule, there is no need to pay. The butcher helped butcher the cattle, and the offal of the cattle belonged to him. , but the sixth uncle said he wanted to keep the gall, and gave him 20 yuan, and the butcher agreed.

Eleven helped during the slaughter of the cow, and closed his eyes when the butcher raised the hammer and slammed the head off the cow.

With a dull sound, the cow fell to the ground and twitched. The butcher took a sharp knife and stabbed the cow's neck. When the knife was pulled out, blood gushed out like a fountain.Although I saw it once when I was a child, I still feel uncomfortable when I watch it again now.There were also courageous children watching, their performance was obviously better than Eleven's, which made him laugh at himself.

The cowhide was peeled off, the belly was cut open, and the butcher took off the gall and touched something hard. No wonder the gall was not given to him. He said with a smile, the butcher and Uncle Six are about the same age and have the same seniority. The friendship that grew up naked together.

Busy until midnight, people left one after another, and those who were waiting to buy a few catties of meat to satisfy their cravings also left contentedly with the meat. Eleven left early with the ox gallbladder, went home and checked online how to deal with it, and at the same time logged into the alumni record, a The top message made him temporarily forget about the bezoar, so he clicked on it.

Teacher Zhou was his class teacher for three years in high school. He took good care of him at that time. Teacher Zhou treated all students equally—this is extremely rare. Some people always say that people's hearts are inherently biased, and partiality is inevitable.This sentence can’t be reflected in Teacher Zhou at all. People like to use candles as a metaphor for teachers, burning themselves and illuminating others. Teacher Zhou is a veritable candle. , unable to speak for a long time in a row, he communicated with his students in writing, and often let students from poor families come to his house for dinner. The meal often had fish and meat to satisfy those students.Eleven and the others were the last group of students he took care of. Although they retired later, they would occasionally teach the school a class or two.

Teacher Zhou has dedicated his life, and there are many students who are famous all over the world. Now these students who know how to repay their kindness unite and hold a memorial service at the former high school site in two days, calling on Teacher Zhou's students to participate.

I also went to the eleventh, and there were many people at the memorial service, some of them were 50 or [-] years old, but their eyes were still wet.

Eleven bought a flower basket, looked around but did not see a familiar face; or maybe it had changed too much and I couldn't recognize it.He didn't stay and walked around the campus at will.Their county seat has a population of more than 20. In recent years, the county seat has been expanded and divided into four districts in the south, east, and northwest. Among them, Dongcheng District is newly built, and the center of the county is in Xicheng District, which is the oldest district.

The county is located on the hillside of Wangxia Mountain, overlooking the entire Xicheng District. The school is full of trees, with a greening rate of 60.00%. There are rivers and lakes. I haven’t been here for more than ten years. New buildings have sprung up in a well-organized manner. , much prettier than when I was studying on Eleventh, but I still know the approximate route.

He was standing under an acacia tree smoking a cigarette, feeling a little sad. The world was gradually collapsing. During the time he was away, relatives and relatives also died of diseases, and people he knew and didn’t know could be heard almost every day; this is Human beings must accept the fact that their mother earth will take the opportunity to baptize the life attached to her. Those who resist the past will continue to live, and those who cannot resist will die.

Alternation of life, survival of the fittest, natural way of survival.

There were also quite a few people wandering around the campus. It looked like alumni attending the memorial service and reminiscing about their high school career.When he was about to leave, someone finally called his name; he was a man with a big belly, with all his forehead hair combed back, revealing a smooth forehead and a red face.

This person used to be at the same table as him, and he was not a very popular figure in the class. Looking at it now, he seems to have been mixed up. Several people were with him, and their words were full of flattery. I am afraid that Shi Shi will not know who he is. Anyone who is average, introduced to Eleven one after another.

"I remember." Eleven said lightly. He pointed out the names of the people in front of him one by one. He could even tell which town and village their families were in. Most of them mentioned it to each other in high school.

Those former classmates were a little surprised for a while. They didn't expect Tao Jingming's memory to be so good. Some people lamented that if he had such a memory during the college entrance examination, he wouldn't dare to say it in key universities, but ordinary universities would have no problem.regret.

The past is over, Eleven is no longer obsessed with those impossible things, and I have nothing in common with those old classmates, so I left after standing for a while.

Going home from the county seat, you can take a car or a boat. Today I want to try another way, Yujian.The straight-line distance between the two places will be shortened by more than half.

Yujian was flying, and the wind was blowing in his face. Eleven was flying almost close to the ground, mainly because he was afraid of being seen by others. His speed was not fast, and it was too fast for fear that he would not be able to control it.That kind of feeling is very comfortable, just like people hope that they can grow wings and fly freely in the sky, and finally their dreams come true.He really wanted to yell, express the depression in his chest, drive away all those unpleasant emotions, don't be too sad.

He hoped that the end of the world would come as later as possible, slower, slower, so that those who are struggling to survive can make more preparations and have more hope of surviving.
