Peacock

A crow flew into the ward.

I've been staring at it for almost the entire first half of the night.

After waking up, I couldn't sleep anymore, because Baima has been too wet recently, and it rained every day, which caused a lot of rashes on my body, and it was itchy like a bug gnawing on a bone at night.

I stayed in the ward for more than a day, and the doctor gave the caliber that "I have to stay in the hospital for observation due to a concussion", so I slept in the ward all day for nothing.Tangling came to see me twice on the way, and when he finally left, he said he had to deal with something and asked me to wait for him at the clinic.Other than that, he didn't say anything else, just sat on the edge of the bed silently and looked at me.

In fact, I was fine, except for the bruises, I just smashed my head a little bit and got twelve stitches.But in order to sew this stitch, the nurse shaved a piece of hair on the back of my head, which forced me to experience alopecia areata at the age of 19.

The wards are empty, I don't understand why Baima's clinic is not doing well, and there is no one to provide water for a whole day.

I think this may be because the bridge to the other side has been opened, and everyone is used to seeking shelter in high-developed areas.

I walked out of the ward and gave myself a reason to go to the bathroom, although I was caught by the nurse on duty.

The long and horizontal corridor in the clinic looks like an esophagus, and at the end hangs a plaque with the inscription "Rejuvenation of the Wonderful Hand" floating on it.The sister nurse who led me away was still confused, her eyes were sleepy, and the pale light was pouring on her head. I felt like she was a translucent ghost.

"Nurse sister, I don't want to go."

The nurse stopped to look at me. She was probably so angry that she woke up from a doze.

"I want to go home." I said, "Maybe I won't be able to go home any later."

Maybe she felt that I was confused, but she just took me back to the ward without a word. I guess she will report to the doctor immediately, and then ask me to take a few more CT scans, so as to generate more income for the clinic.

I sat on the window sill, but the crow didn't leave. It just turned its head strangely and burned me with a pair of dead black eyes.

Ugly bird, ugly thing.I said in my heart.

Black is really not a good color, it is too easy to hide dirt.I twisted my bangs facing the window, my hair was black, but Tang Ling would pretend that he wasn't, and bleached the roots of his hair over and over again, so his hair always seemed to be almost white.

Surprisingly, Lao Xu came to see me at 02:30 in the morning.He seemed to have just come back from somewhere, it was dusty, and the mango he brought back was so soft that it exuded a chemical smell of lust.

The moment he opened the door, he saw me lying on the window sill like a mouse trying to pinch the crow by the back of its neck.

"Isn't this very lively?"

It was really too late at night, and I was so scared that I fell off the stage. Finally, I fell to the ground and hugged my shin and yelled, "Go home with my wife!"

The crow followed suit, and flew arrogantly up to the tree outside the window, still staring at me like that, wondering how to laugh at me like an idiot for not being able to catch it.

"What are you doing beating students?"

"How do you know everything?"

"I heard it from people when I came back. I think everyone on the island knows about it." Lao Xu tore the mango peel, "Hey, do you know that the child was sent to the opposite side by his parents for treatment? I don't know what happened now. What is the situation, just look at the ambulance coming all the way across the sea, with such a huge force, I thought someone was dead."

"The young man's life will not be easy in the future, and he will inevitably be talked about over and over again. In fact, the fact that he was in prison was just a gossip that came from nowhere. We talked about it, but we didn't have any actual feelings. This It's all over, he beat people half to death, and he is still his student, tell me, who doesn't think about the things he did before?"

When Old Xu talked freely, it reminded me of the very beginning of everything. At that time, he told me, don’t deal with the blond man in the corner studio. He is a murderer, not a good person.

It really is a small place, and any incident can spread throughout Baima, and I really feel powerless about it.

I really don't know if Tang Ling is a murderer, but at least he hasn't been a bad person in my place, so it's a bit sloppy to deny everything about a person based on word of mouth.

Old Xu said that Chen Xing has been helping Tang Ling so much for his sister, after all, Chen Wumian and Tang Ling are more or less friends in need.So in order not to make it difficult for Chen Xing, Tang Ling resigned from his job yesterday and promised to be responsible for the follow-up compensation.

I listened quietly, not understanding why Tangling never told me about these things.Then when he came to see me in the ward, would he think in his heart that it would be better to just drown Yu Zhen in Xingxing Bay, who knows that he will cause trouble.

Was Baima the last free country for Tang Ling before this?Maybe it can accommodate him playing the role of an ostrich, throwing his head into the white sand decadently.But now that the rumors are burning like wildfire and he's out of work, can we stay here forever?

Old Xu also said, if Pu Wei's parents don't want to be private, you two will probably have to wait to eat in prison.

I immediately answered, "Prison food is fine, if I've been idling outside like this, I won't be able to eat."

Old Xu slowly suppressed his smile and just looked at me like that.

I suddenly felt sour, and I couldn't put on the sloppy line: "...it has nothing to do with him. I was the one who wanted to stab Pu Wei to death, so he has nothing to do with it. Can you tell those idiots outside to stop spreading the word!"

After a long silence, Old Xu asked, "Who moved the hand?"

"Do you think the policeman is a fool?"

"Pu Wei can't die, the most is soft tissue contusion, the blood in the toilet is fucking mine." I said, "He made the first move, and he has to stay in the same room with me if he wants to get involved."

I thought about it: "Do you think I can see Zhang Yong when I go in? Does that kid work as a maid every day?"

"What did you say?" Old Xu felt a little helpless, "If you are legally ill, don't convict yourself indiscriminately."

I suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, and I rushed over like a bank of exhaustion. The source was probably called weakness.

Yila buried herself in the thin mattress, I only told Xu An to leave quickly.It was suffocating and the little rash on my body was itching again.

In a blur, I heard Lao Xu sigh, and then left.

I just stared at the threads on the quilt in the darkness, and I don't know how long it has passed.Maybe it was because I didn't close my eyes for a long time, my eyes were astringent for a while, and when I finally blinked, a whole drop of water was squeezed out, so more tears flowed out, crawling all over my face like minions.

If I became the reason why Tangling experienced the nightmare again, how should I deal with myself?

Messy thoughts ran wildly in my mind, I just felt bored, so I jumped out of the window sill, went around to the back door and left the clinic.

Walking alone on the lonely street of Baima, I didn't know what to do or what to do. I even typed the following title when I saw the "buying murderer" sprayed with black paint on the outer wall of the public toilet. Telephone.However, it was an aunt who picked me up and asked me if I wanted to change my clothes. At that moment, I suddenly collapsed and wailed in front of the receiver.

When something goes wrong, I will only cry. Since when did I become such a waste?For the first time, I felt that maybe I should always be the restrained self I used to be, without tears and lack of emotions, but at that time I seemed to be able to reach everything.

"Oh, less than the benefactor."

The headlights in front of me were suddenly illuminated, and I turned around slowly when I heard the sound, and saw a man in a gray shirt riding an electric motorcycle shaking with the engine.

I wiped my face blankly: "...monk liar?"

"Hey, why is it called that? The poor monk's name is Hai Zhan."

"Master, it's three o'clock in the morning, and you are driving the night train in Baima?"

"I just finished the formalities and came back from there."

"Now civil servants have to work extra night shifts?"

Hai Zhan shook his head pretending to be mysterious: "Recently, too much attention has been paid to the renovation of the Sheye Temple. The Lingtai is not clear and there are obstacles in front of us, so it will inevitably take some time."

Oh, he was lost for most of the day.

"Why did you run by yourself? Did no one help?" I asked casually, but it was really a casual question, because I didn't want to understand other people's situation, and I didn't understand it myself.

Hai Zhan said that the tourism department of Baima was originally looking for people to restore the ancient temple, and reported it, but the project was not approved because it was too small.After learning about the situation, he volunteered voluntarily and came over immediately. However, the results of various subsequent declarations failed to keep up.

Judging from his situation, he probably didn't recruit many volunteers.

“It’s just board and lodging, and there’s not much salary at the moment, and there are so few people with Zen minds, it’s understandable that no one comes.” Hai Zhan said, “I’ll do what I can do first, and wait for the funding and cooperation. Let’s take a look at the situation after the Bureau of Cultural Relics Restoration sends someone here.”

I stared at him for a while and said, "Master, are you going back to Peacock Mountain now? Can you take me to the bay at the foot of the mountain?"

After all, monks like to help others, and I thought he couldn't refuse me, so I took off his helmet hanging in the back box.

Hai Zhan didn't respond too much, he just told me to be safe and to speak up when I encountered a wound on my body.

I just discovered that Hai Zhan is also a person who doesn't like to "inquire", and Tang Ling is a bit like him in this way.

Amid the wind, I yelled at Hai Zhan, "Why didn't you ask me?"

Hai Zhan laughed: "What do you want the poor monk to ask you?"

"Why did I come here, why did I stay here, why did I become like this."

Hai Zhan was silent for a long time, so long that I thought he didn't intend to pay attention to me anymore, and finally he said in a muttering voice: "There is no birth and no death, neither dirt nor cleanness, neither increase nor decrease."

Pulling the two streamers of the helmet, I yelled, I can't figure it out, master, I can't fucking figure it out.

Unexpectedly, Hai Zhan also yelled along with me, I didn't even get involved, let's live as we like.
