Lovers come with the wind
Chapter 7
Zhu Zi asked in a low voice: "You are so cold now, you can sleep with me, many people do this in winter, nothing else, but you don't do this, do you think there is something wrong?"
After thinking for a long time, Wang Pengze replied:
"Back then you were a child, and hugging you was just teasing you. Now that you are an adult, I can't hug you so casually. It's nothing for two adults to hug you together."
Zhuzi turned over angrily, without any sleepiness, and opened his eyes to wait for the dawn.
After dawn, the two of them didn't get up immediately, and waited until the temperature of the kang cooled before getting up separately.Wang Pengze made a simple breakfast, and then the two went about their own business.Zhu Zi continued to lead the mouse to check the heating channel in the wall. Wang Pengze took Xiao Hei Xiao Bai Xiao Hua out for a short time to inspect it, and came back soon. Instead of saying hello to Zhu Zi, he went directly to open the warehouse and moved out a The wooden frame, took a saw and a hammer and knocked and repaired it.
The two were standing in the same wilderness, standing in the same yard, and they didn't talk to each other, which made Zhu Zi feel very sad. When he poked the heating duct a little bit harder, he made a very loud noise.Wang Pengze didn't even look up, he just used nails to reinforce the strange wooden frame, and knocked over and over "bang bang bang".
At noon, Wang Pengze went back to the house to cook. He made another stew, and when it was done, he called Zhuzi to eat.Zhu Zi entered the room, sat by the fire and ate, without looking at Wang Pengze.Wang Pengze wanted to talk to Zhuzi to melt the atmosphere, so he asked, "How is the repair of the heating tunnel going?" Zhuzi said "hmm".Wang Pengze said again: "It's not easy to repair, so we don't need to be too serious. Now we are the only one living in this room, and the others are empty. If we really need to heat it up, it's a bit of a waste of coal." The pillar said "hmm" again With a sound, he raised the bowl and poured rice into his mouth.Wang Pengze said, "What do you mean when you come and go? You didn't answer a single question." Zhu Zi put the bowl on the table and immediately stood up and went out. Wang Pengze was so angry that he lost his appetite to eat.
Zhuzi felt that his anger was getting bigger and bigger, and the only way to vent it was to fix the heating in this house as soon as possible.He climbed up and down, and finally cleared everything in the middle of the afternoon, and inserted two pieces of iron sheets into the heating passage leading to other rooms to separate them, so that there is no need to waste heating for those unoccupied houses.
After finishing the repair, his face was covered with dust, and he yelled to Wang Pengze angrily: "I'm done repairing it." Then he went to the house to wash his hands.Wang Pengze shouted, "Zhuzi, come here."
Zhu Zhu turned around and walked slowly, seeing Wang Pengze laying several straw mats on the wooden shelf.Wang Pengze took off his gloves, patted the dust and grass foam off his body, pointed to the wooden frame and said to the post, "I made you a sled."
This sled needs the physical strength of Xiao Hei Xiao Bai Xiao Hua to act as power.At the beginning, Zhu Zi was worried that the three earth dogs did not have such great strength. After running, he realized that there was no need to worry at all. They couldn't help rushing forward happily, their twelve paws stomping on the snow and chattering all the time.The disadvantage is that it is impossible to control the direction. Xiaobai and Xiaohua take Xiaohei as the direction. Wherever Xiaohei runs, he will immediately lead the sled to slide there. Being pulled farther and farther away from the weather station by three big and lively dogs.
Wang Pengze stood at the gate of the weather station, squinting and watching with a smile. He felt that the distance was too far, so he pulled off his mask and took out a whistle from his pocket to blow.The whistle sounded very faint after being carried far away in the cold wind, but Xiao Hei Xiao Bai Xiao Hua heard them clearly, and immediately turned around and ran back, pulling the sled and rushing towards Wang Pengze at high speed.After the sled came back, the three dogs jumped on Wang Pengze excitedly. When Wang Pengze saw that the eyelashes were frosted with frost on the pillar, he stopped feeling funny and went over to help him.Zhu Zi struggled to take off his mask, laughed excitedly, and shouted repeatedly: "It's so fun, it's so fun..."
After the room was warmed up, Wang Pengze regained a lot of vitality. He seemed to be tired of wearing thick and heavy clothes. He took off his cotton coat as soon as he came in, and sometimes only wore a sweater. He sat at the square table comfortably, writing and calculating.Zhu Zhu sat on a low stool next to Wang Pengze to boil water to wash his clothes. He wrung out the shirts, underwear, autumn clothes and long trousers of the two of them, and hung them in a neat row on a rope against the wall in the room.No matter what he does, he likes to turn his head to look at Wang Pengze quietly. When he sees Wang Pengze showing his face and hands, his eyes are focused and serious, and his big hands are rubbing the paper and pen on the table. These details give him a sweet feeling. Life should be real like this.Especially after dark, seeing this scene around him under the light will move him even more. Everything he likes is close at hand, and he can walk over and touch it at any time.
In the past, Wang Pengze always made stews because it was cold in the room, and the fried dishes would get cold quickly; now Wang Pengze started to cook seriously, making braised pork, steamed pork, Dongpo pork and sweet and sour pork for Zhuzi... Wang Pengze knew that his liver was not good, He doesn't eat much meat, but only looks at the pillars to eat.Zhuzi said, why don't we cook a few fish in the future, the fish has no fat, so you can eat it too.Wang Pengze said yes, the Chinese New Year is coming, and eating fish means having more than enough every year.Zhuzi asked if he wanted to drive to the village to buy.Wang Pengze thought about it, and said that we should go fishing by ourselves. Anyway, we have a lot of time and it is not too far to drive.
When Wang Pengze went out to copy the weather data again, he didn't have to walk. He sat on a sled and was dragged by little black and white flowers.Zhuzhu helped Wang Pengze find a slender branch with a bone tied to the front end, and asked Wang Pengze to hold the branch and stretch the bone in front of the three dogs so that he could control the direction of the sled.After Wang Pengze set off, Zhuzi would step on a long ladder to climb up to the roof, looking at Wang Pengze's figure from beginning to end.The sun was shining brightly on the snow, and the wind was blowing hard. Every time Wang Pengze stopped at a place, he always threw the bone to three dogs to fight for. When he set off to another place, he took another bone out of his cotton coat pocket and tied it to it. .
Zhu Zhu stood on the roof and watched with a smile, Wang Pengze stopped and walked but couldn't get out of his field of vision.Sometimes Zhuzi looks at this empty and uninhabited snow field, and secretly thinks that the relationship between him and Wang Pengze seems to be a bit like a husband and wife at this moment. return.Zhuzi thought it was funny, so he smiled and thought that he didn't want to look like a woman, and Wang Pengze certainly didn't want to, either. If Wang Pengze told this obscene imagination, he would definitely be scolded.During dinner, Wang Pengze asked Zhuzhu under the lamp: "Why do you climb to the roof every day these days?" Zhuzi said, "The scenery on the roof is good, and you can see far." After a while, he smiled and said, "Today I saw you standing on the roof from a distance, with the smoke rising from the kitchen, and suddenly felt like a home here."
This kind of solitary life made both of them forget which day it was Chinese New Year.When sleeping on the kang at night, Wang Pengze turned sideways and asked Zhuzi which day you were on vacation. Zhuzi said a date. Wang Pengze thought for a while and said, "Oh, the day after tomorrow will be Chinese New Year." So the next morning Wang Pengze I boiled the paste and pasted the Spring Festival couplets together with the pillars. There are more than a dozen large and small doors in this yard, and the red paper and black letters everywhere make this small space a cool red.After posting the Spring Festival couplets, the two stood in the middle of the yard, looking around with a little surprise.Zhuzi thought to himself that Spring Festival couplets are really a wonderful thing. This is a dilapidated, gray and dull courtyard, but at this moment, the Spring Festival couplets are pasted with a piece of red, which is so eye-catching under the hazy clouds that it makes people panic.This yard has become the most conspicuous place on this barren snow field, it seems that all ghosts and gods are focusing on this place, making it look weak because of loneliness.
This made Zhuzi suddenly want to hug Wang Pengze, so he walked up to Wang Pengze and called softly, "Uncle." Wang Pengze absent-mindedly gave a "hmm" and raised his head to look at the sky.So Zhuzhu walked in front of Wang Pengze, stretched out his arms and hugged him, Wang Pengze didn't refuse, looked over Zhuzi's shoulder, passed through the courtyard gate, and stared blankly at the end of Xueye.
Both were too thickly clothed, like two clumsy dolls, not suitable for hugging.Soon Wang Pengze broke away from Zhuzhu's arm and said, "I'm going to read the meter now, and we'll make dumplings when I get back." Then he walked out of the courtyard gate, took out his whistle from his pocket, and blew twice. Excitedly ran to the sled.Zhu Zi went to help put the three dogs on the sled, went back to the house to get some bones, and said to Wang Pengze: "Then you pay attention to safety, I will wait for you at home."
With plenty of time, the two slowly made many dumplings.Zhuzhu carried the dumplings to the roof by stepping on wooden ladders, and when they were frozen hard, they were packed into sacks and buried in the snow.In the middle of the afternoon, Wang Pengze was a little puzzled, and asked Zhuzi, "Is it the New Year tomorrow? Why don't I feel it?" Zhuzi said, "You did the math." Wang Pengze calculated it carefully on the paper again with a pen, and smiled. : "I made a mistake, I missed one day, and the day after tomorrow will be Chinese New Year."
Having dumplings for dinner, Wang Pengze looked at the dumplings in the bowl, and said to Zhuzi before moving his chopsticks: "That's fine, we just have time to go fishing tomorrow."
The next morning he didn't leave until 10 o'clock in the morning, because Wang Pengze had to go to the warehouse to find fishing rods, and after finding the fishing rods, he had to make bait.After driving northward from the weather station for about an hour, Wang Pengze said, "Here we are." After Zhuzi got out of the car, he couldn't see where the river was, and followed Wang Pengze downhill for another ten minutes, when he suddenly realized that there was a river under his feet. , a very wide river, frozen in winter and covered with snow, so it is not easy to see from a distance.
Neither had any experience fishing in this season and place, and it took an hour with a hammer and chisel to cut a hole in the ice.It was noon again, and the two of them went back to the car to eat some dry food, took a short rest, went to the ice again, and saw a fish next to the ice hole, its tail flapping up and down helplessly, It should have jumped out of the hole impatiently, but was trapped on the ice.
This unexpected discovery made both of them very excited. Wang Pengze said that it seems that this fish is very easy to catch. In winter, the fish are very hungry, and they will scramble to bite the bait when they see it.Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Wang Pengze put the hook into the water, and within 5 minutes he felt a sudden sinking, and he pulled it up hard. It was a very big fish.
The two forgot about the cold, and kept fishing until half the afternoon with great interest.Later, Wang Pengze saw a snowflake falling on the glove, looked up vigilantly, and found that there were snowflakes under the sky far and near, so he put away the fishing rod, and said to the pillar that we would not fish, we had to go back quickly , If the snow is heavy, it will be difficult to hurry.Zhu Zi packed the fish he caught into two sacks, carried them with Wang Pengze and loaded them into the jeep.Wang Pengze started the car, it buzzed, but it couldn't ignite, he frowned and said to himself, "Trouble, it looks like it's too cold."
Twenty minutes later, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Wang Pengze got out of the car, opened the front compartment to check the engine, then took a sack and spread it on the snow under the jeep, climbed in, and lay on his back to repair the car, with only his legs exposed. outside.Zhu Zhu squatted beside him, and saw Wang Pengze lying under the car in a cramped manner, taking off his gloves, holding a wrench in his bare hands to repair the car, reaching out to screw something, and when he retracted, his hands were covered with oil.The wind whipped up the snow on the ground, whizzed across the bottom of the car, and blew the snow particles onto Wang Pengze's eyes.Zhuzi asked distressedly: "Uncle, are you cold?" Wang Pengze said what are you doing here, so hurry up and stay in the car.
Zhu Zi went back to the car and sat, leaned close to the car window to look out, and then saw Wang Pengze's legs moved, as if he was about to come out, so he hurriedly pushed the car door down, helped Wang Pengze climb out from under the car, I helped him pat off the snow, grabbed his hand while he was busy, it felt as cold as ice, probably frozen.Wang Pengze sat in the driver's seat and tried to start the car, but it still buzzed and wouldn't start.Wang Pengze was annoyed and wanted to go down and continue repairing. Zhuzi said, wait a minute, uncle, quickly took off his gloves, put them on Wang Pengze's hands, and hugged those hands in his arms again, saying: "Warm up first, then go to repair. "Wang Pengze said that my hands are full of oil stains, how can I wear these gloves in the future.Zhuzi replied that it was all right, I will wash it when I go back.
Maybe the car was too badly damaged. Wang Pengze drilled under the car three times, but it still hasn't been repaired.After each failure, he had to sit in the car and think for a while, so Zhu Zi took the opportunity to put warm gloves on his hands and hug him to keep him warm.Seeing the sky slowly getting dark, Wang Pengze was cold and impatient, and became irritable and irritable. Seeing Zhuzhu squatting on the snow ground and looking at himself with a sad face, he scolded angrily: "Didn't I let you sit in the car? Why don't you go quickly?" Zhu Zi didn't go, and sat down on the upwind place to block the wind and snow under the car for Wang Pengze.
The snow fell more and more densely, and was torn by the strong cold wind to rush around, making people dare not open their eyes. Even if they opened their eyes, they couldn't see anything else clearly, only a whirring madness could be seen in the dim light. Rolled snowflakes.This is a dangerous moment, Zhuzi is a little scared, wondering if this is a blizzard?Hearing that Wang Pengze opened the door again and got into the car, he hurriedly stood up and ran to look outside the driver's seat.Wang Pengze started the car again, and it finally started normally. With a sigh of relief, he put on his gloves and shouted to Zhuzhu: "Come on, let's go." Zhuzi pulled out the sack from the bottom of the car, opened the door and threw it into the car, and went to the front again. Sit on the passenger seat.
Turn on the headlights, only to see dense snowflakes flying in all directions in the cold wind, it is impossible to see the direction.Wang Pengze said that when we came, we were heading north and parked facing east. Now we turn right and drive straight back.Zhuzi worriedly reminded: "Uncle, we didn't walk straight when we came here, we turned a few inconspicuous turns." Wang Pengze looked serious and said, "That will also get closer and closer to the camp, let's talk about it after walking." Bar."
Surrounded by the wind and snow like this, I didn't know how long I drove. Zhuzi was very nervous at first, looking ahead energetically, and then gradually became sleepy and dozed off in a daze.He didn't seem to have slept for a long time. When he woke up, he found that Wang Pengze had stopped the car, sat quietly in the driver's seat, and kept his hands in his sleeves to keep warm.Zhu Zi knew at a glance that he was lost, but he was not worried about this, but worried that Wang Pengze would be sad and blame himself, so he leaned over and asked softly, "Uncle, are you okay?"
"We are still lost." Wang Pengze said, "If we continue to walk, we may go further and further wrong. We have to wait until dawn."
The two had no dry food for dinner, so they had to survive the freezing night in the jeep hungry.The collar of the cotton coat was turned up, the scarf covered the face and only the eyes were exposed, the button of the cotton hat was tightly buttoned, and the gloves were put on and sat in silence.After a while, Zhu Zi turned his head to stare at Wang Pengze, quickly took off his gloves, reached out and grabbed Wang Pengze's hat.Wang Pengze hurriedly asked: "Why the pillar?" The pillar removed the fluffy decoration on the front of Wang Pengze's locomotive hat, let it hang down to cover Wang Pengze's eyes, and then explained: "It will be warmer this way. .”
Wang Pengze was not happy, and blamed: "How much warmer can this be? You broke a good hat."
Zhuzi retorted plausibly: "It's a little bit warmer, and no one is watching this kind of place, so what do you care about?"
"I'm not a fastidious person." Wang Pengze explained helplessly, "I'm not fastidious, I think you're making a fuss over a molehill, and you're in a hurry when something happens, so you might as well just throw the fish away and put the clothes on." The fish sacks can also be used to keep out the cold."
Zhuzi's eyes lit up, and he pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Yes, why didn't I think of that!"
Zhuzi asked Wang Pengze: "Uncle, are you cold?"
Wang Pengze answered angrily, "It's not cold."
"It's no wonder it's not cold." Zhu Zi reached into Wang Pengze's glove to hold his hand. After holding it for a while, he became sad and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what's wrong with your body?"
After waiting, Wang Pengze didn't answer, and Zhuzi said again: "Your body temperature is always so low, and you don't think of a way."
Wang Pengze lifted the obstacle in front of him, and he could see Zhuzi's eyes clearly in the dim light reflected in the car by the heavy wind and snow in the dark night. Seeing his anxious expression, he smiled and said, "When a person is over 40 years old, his body will Every day is worse than every day, I can't be as strong as you at your age, life, old age, sickness and death are normal things."
"Why are you talking so far away?" Zhuzi said angrily, "How can it be related to birth, old age, sickness and death?"
"Is life, old age, sickness and death far away?" Wang Pengze asked Zhuzi, "This is a very realistic thing. I have to think about it, and you have to think about it too. The reason why your Aunt Yao Min's parents think I am older is because I will be older than you, Yao Min. Auntie died more than ten years earlier, and by then, their daughter will be a lonely old man."
This topic is too heavy for Zhuzi. Although he often talks about the word "life and death", he has never seriously considered that the person in front of him will die one day.He stared blankly at Wang Pengze in the dim light, but couldn't see his face, only his bloated figure wrapped in a thick cotton coat.When he spoke again, his voice sounded like a powerful oath: "Aunt Yao Min doesn't care about you, I care about you."
Wang Pengze was a little sleepy, and responded with drowsiness: "I have Xiaochuan. You should think about your own future, your situation is worse than mine."
Zhu Zhu stood up, held the back of the chair with his hands, and straddled from the middle of the two seats to the back row with difficulty.Wang Pengze turned his head and asked, "What are you going to do again, Zhuzi?"
Zhuzi said: "The fish is frozen into ice edges, which will only make the car colder. I throw it out and use a sack to keep out the cold."
Wang Pengze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he stretched out his hand to grab Zhuzi's padded coat, and said, "Why are you taking it seriously, come and sit down quickly, and don't touch my fish."
Zhu Zhu stretched out his hand to push the car door, and the wind and snow howled in. Wang Pengze hurriedly withdrew his hand to press the cotton coat tightly, Zhu Zhu jumped down, dragged two sacks out, and immediately closed the car door.Wang Pengze put his eyes close to the car window and looked at the dark night outside. He saw Zhuzhu standing in the wind and snow, dumping all the frozen fish in the sacks on the snow, shaking off the snow particles and Icicles, and opened the car door to get in.
After spreading all the sacks on the seats in the back row, Zhu Zi said, "Uncle, come lie down and rest in the back row."
Wang Pengze looked back at the dark seat, and asked Zhuzi, "What about you?"
"I'll sit in front and talk to you."
Seeing Wang Pengze's hesitation, Zhuzi became impatient and said loudly, "Come here and lie down."
Wang Pengze had no choice but to stand up, holding Zhuzi's hand, bent over and stepped between the two seats, curled up on the back seat, and said to Zhuzi, "Let's take turns sleeping. You wake me up later."
Zhuzi squatted down in front of Wang Pengze's face, held his hand, suddenly became sad, and said with a sigh: "Uncle, you just said that life, old age, sickness and death are natural things, why don't you think about it, if one day you die What should I do?"
In the darkness, Wang Pengze's eyes were shining brightly, staring at the pillar in a daze, he didn't speak for a long time.Zhu Zhu waited for a while, then went to sit in the front seat in silence.
Wang Pengze woke up in the middle of the night, and called out in a weak voice, "Zhuzi, it's time for you to come and sleep for a while." He was about to sit up as he said this, but he didn't even get up after he tried a few times as usual.
Zhu Zi felt something was wrong when he heard the voice, so he stepped into the back row, touched Wang Pengze's forehead with his hand, and sighed, "Uncle, you have a fever again."
Wang Pengze finally supported the seat with his hands and sat up. He felt weak all over, his head was heavy, and his mind was a little confused.Zhuzi put his arms around Wang Pengze's shoulders and let him lie down again. Feeling him shivering from the cold, he asked distressedly, "Is it cold, uncle?" Wang Pengze replied vaguely, "It's cold."
This is the moment when the night is deep, and the icy and heavy air current whirls between the sky and the earth, sweeping and destroying, boundless and endless, but it can't shake this small shelter in the jeep on this snowy field .Zhu Zi leaned close to Wang Pengze's face, and whispered in his ear: "Uncle, you don't have to be afraid of me, I will never do anything you don't like."
He threw away his gloves, took off his cotton coat, and took off the coat to wrap around Wang Pengze's feet; then he unbuttoned Wang Pengze's cotton coat and coat, and lay down hugging Wang Pengze's body tightly through the sweater, and again Use your own cotton coat as a quilt to cover two people.
Wang Pengze struggled for a while, and said vaguely: "Zhuzi, you hug me too tightly, I can't breathe."
"I can't help it." Zhu Zi explained with a smile, "The place is so small, if I don't hold it tight, I will fall."
He relaxed a little, adjusted his position so that Wang Pengze's legs could be curled up more comfortably, held Wang Pengze's head in his arms to warm him, and Wang Pengze fell into a deep sleep.
Zhu Zi didn't sleep all night, his posture was extremely uncomfortable, and it was impossible to fall asleep, but he didn't care about it at all.He was intoxicated in the thick and real happiness, and excitedly rubbed his hands over Wang Pengze's face over and over again, and put his eyes on Wang Pengze's hot forehead.Several times he wanted to kiss Wang Pengze's mouth, but felt that it was not the right time, and finally he couldn't bear it and kissed secretly, kissing Wang Pengze and waking up.In the darkness, Zhuzi suddenly found that Wang Pengze had been looking at him with his eyes open. He was so surprised that he trembled all over. Wang Pengze seemed a little unhappy, so he said helplessly, "If you really want to kiss me, you can be bold." Zhuzi looked into Wang Pengze's eyes , guessing whether this sentence is affirming or denying, finally smiled and kissed gently, the two cooperated in a long, real kiss, but the kiss is not over yet. Wang Pengze has already Once fell asleep.Zhuzi laughed secretly, thinking that Wang Pengze's reaction was an anecdote.He patted Wang Pengze with his hands like a sleeping baby. He wanted to reach out to touch other parts of Wang Pengze's body a few times, but suddenly remembered that Wang Pengze was a patient with a fever and couldn't help but began to blame himself fiercely. , I no longer have selfish distractions, and earnestly get close to Wang Pengze's body, holding him tenderly until dawn.
Zhuzi fell asleep for a while in drowsiness, and heard Wang Pengze's voice whispering in his ear: "Zhuzi." Then he woke up, and saw that the sky was already bright, and although the cold wind was still howling, there were only sporadic clouds in the sky. snowflake.Wang Pengze felt that the pillar was hugged too tightly, so he tried to move it a few times, but to no avail, he said, "Are you still not letting go?"
"I really don't want to let you go." Zhu Zi said with a smile.Putting her face on Wang Pengze's forehead, she said softly, "You are still very hot, it looks like you will have to stay in bed for a few days. Fortunately, I am here to take care of you."
Wang Pengze said loudly: "Why don't you say that because of you, I have a high fever now?" With this loud voice, I felt that my voice was also hoarse.
"Stop talking loudly," Zhu Zi instructed.After thinking about it, he said, "Sometimes I really don't understand whether your illness is a good thing or a bad thing."
"I'm sick, don't you think it's a good thing?" Wang Pengze complained angrily, and scolded unhappily, "Get up, I'm going to drive back."
Zhuzi helped Wang Pengze fasten the cotton coat and the buttons on the cotton coat, and helped him up. Wang Pengze's legs were numb and his body was weak, and he felt dizzy even when he was sitting.Zhu Zi said that you can just drive later, and I will do other work. He opened the car door and went out, and then quickly closed it with a snap.
Most of the wheels were submerged in the snow. Zhuzhu showed his supernatural power and stood alone behind pushing the cart. With a hey yo, he pushed forward a short distance, and when he let go of his hand, the four wheels fell back again.Wang Pengze smiled and said in the car: "Zhu Zi, don't forget the fish we caught. We suffered so much because of them. Now it's time to use them." Zhu Zi understood, and picked those fish from the snow. The fish, which had been frozen into ice cubes, sat behind the wheels and slowly pushed the jeep onto the snow.
Zhu Zi put the rest of the fish into sacks and carried them into the car, climbed on the roof of the car and looked into the distance, trying to see where the weather station was.When Wang Pengze was driving, Zhu Zi bent down and leaned on the back of the driver's seat to support him firmly, for fear of anything happening.Wang Pengze said that what could happen to me, you like to make things nervous, and I told you yesterday.Zhuzi replied, I don't care what you say, as long as it's safe.
It took half the morning to return to the weather station, and from a distance I saw little black and white flowers running over the snow to greet them.Wang Pengze sighed and said that I finally came back, I think I'm almost dying.Zhuzi said uncle, don't worry, you will be fine with me.The pillar carried Wang Pengze on his back, and walked towards the courtyard step by step through the snow, and suddenly saw the red Spring Festival couplets on the courtyard door, and then remembered that it was the first day of the new year, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I forgot to say something to you gone."
Then seriously shouted: "Uncle, Happy New Year!"
Wang Pengze also remembered, looked up at the Spring Festival couplets on Zhuzi's back, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, Zhuzi!"
He lowered his head and leaned on the shoulder of the pillar, and said apologetically in a low voice: "Look at this New Year's Eve. You came all the way to celebrate the New Year with me, but you starved and froze outside all night on New Year's Eve."
"I've been very happy this year." Zhuzi said, "The only thing I'm worried about is that you're sick."
After reheating the house, Zhu Zi took care of Wang Pengze to sleep, cooked two more bowls of dumplings and brought them to Wang Pengze.Wang Pengze lost his appetite, and after eating two, he didn't want to eat any more.Zhuzi said: "You should eat more, Uncle. I'm going to find a doctor for you. I don't know if I can come back at noon. What if you are hungry?" Wang Pengze asked: "Look for a doctor? Where do you go to find a doctor? "Zhuzi said he didn't know, let's go to the village and ask first.Wang Pengze said that there is no need to go, I will just rest for a while.Zhuzi said no, but I said I would go.
Wang Pengze had nothing to do with Zhuzi's temper, so he had to sit up and ask Zhuzi to bring the paper and pen.Zhuzi brought paper and pen, took off his shoes and got on the kang, sat behind Wang Pengze, wrapped Wang Pengze in a cotton coat, and asked Wang Pengze to lean in his arms.Wang Pengze drew a detailed map of several nearby villages in Zhuzi's arms, marked the directions and distances, and told Zhuzi that you can look for them in these villages. If you can't find a doctor, it's fine. , I will also treat myself to a doctor.Zhuzi said that even if you know how to see a doctor, you must have medicine.
After installing the map and putting on the cotton coat, before opening the door, Zhuzi waved goodbye to Wang Pengze and said, "Uncle, I'm leaving, you have a good rest." Opening and closing the door, Zhuzhu suddenly appeared out of the window ten seconds later The banging on the window startled Wang Pengze.The pillar shouted through the glass: "Uncle, you should drink plenty of water and rest more, the boiling water is on the table beside your bed."
Zhu Zi took a sled to find a doctor. Later, when he saw that the three dogs were tired from running, he got off the sled and walked. In the cold wind, he unfolded the map drawn by Wang Pengze and read it over and over again.He asked from village to village, and he found an old Chinese doctor at noon.The old Chinese doctor is very kind, and when he heard that he was a member of the expedition team, he enthusiastically left Zhuzi for lunch.Zhuzi ate the stewed pork vermicelli in a state of anxiety, and carefully suggested that he should go on the road early, and said to the old Chinese doctor, "My uncle is at home alone, so he may not even have lunch."
The old Chinese doctor asked his son to drive a carriage, Zhu Zi moved the sled to the carriage, and the three hurried to the weather station.Little Black, Little White, and Little Flower galloped along with the horse effortlessly.After returning to the weather station, Zhu Zi eagerly opened the door. Wang Pengze heard someone coming back, and was sitting up slowly, but he didn't have lunch.
It took a long time to see the doctor. The old Chinese doctor took the pulse for a long time while chatting with Wang Pengze. He seemed to be full of interest in science.Zhu Zi went there in a carriage, and came back in a sleigh, with a large bag of Chinese medicine in his arms.It was already mid-afternoon.
As soon as Zhuzi entered the house, he threw away the medicine, sat on the edge of the kang, held Wang Pengze's hand, and complained: "I know you don't like to eat in front of outsiders, so you didn't do anything for lunch. I'll let you eat in the morning Eat more dumplings, but you won’t listen.” Wang Pengze wondered, “What are you talking about? After you guys left, I heated up my own food and ate it.” Zhu Zi looked at the table, and the bowl of leftover dumplings was gone.
Wang Pengze said to Zhuzi, "I'm your uncle. I'm over 40 years old. You always treat me like a child when you talk and do things."
Zhuzi said, "You are a patient now."
"You were like this when I was not a patient." Wang Pengze said angrily, "If you talk to me like that again in the future, I will beat you up."
When Zhuzi was boiling the medicine, Wang Pengze sat up in a cotton-padded coat, and beckoned, "Bring it here and let me see what it is." Zhuzi took the medicine to the bed, and Wang Pengze picked it up one by one and looked at it carefully. He frowned and said, "This Old man, did he sell you all the weird medicines?" Zhu Zi was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I remember this medicine. Your Aunt Yao Min took it at her natal home after she gave birth to Xiao Chuan. It's called pangolin." Wang Pengze raised a strange-shaped thing in front of his eyes and said doubtfully, "It can cure women without milk. What's the use of it if I eat it?" Use it?"
"The doctor said that you need to take a good supplement." Zhuzi explained, after thinking about it, he found it ridiculous, so he asked, "Then do you still take this medicine?"
Wang Pengze put down the pangolin, sighed, and said, "Eat, maybe the doctor thinks it has other uses."
Then he taught Zhuzi without losing the opportunity: "When you encounter such a strange thing in the future, you must ask clearly, and you can't just do what others say."
Zhuzi walked away with a helpless smile and poured the medicine into the medicine pot.
After taking care of Wang Pengze and taking the medicine, Zhuzi said that he would cook a few dishes for the Chinese New Year, so he had to eat well.He asked Wang Pengze to guide him, and Wang Pengze lay on his side and looked at the stove, telling Zhuzi in detail how to do it, what ingredients to put in, and how much salt to put in.Zhu Zi hurriedly did it too slowly, Wang Pengze watched it for a while and secretly laughed, then suddenly felt dizzy and fell asleep again.When he woke up again, he saw Zhuzi holding a plate of black fish, and he leaned over to the bed in the steaming heat, and said with a smile, "Uncle, I cooked the fish."
Zhuzi put the quilt and pillow behind Wang Pengze to make him lie a little higher, and prevented Wang Pengze from doing anything. He took the chopsticks to remove the fishbone and fed the fish to Wang Pengze.Wang Pengze ate two mouthfuls, Zhuzi asked: "Is it delicious?" Wang Pengze nodded and said with a smile: "It's delicious." Zhuzi smiled and said: "Then you finish the fish?" Wang Pengze was slightly startled, then smiled again Answer: "Okay." So Zhuzi patiently picked the bones of the fish and fed all the fish meat into Wang Pengze's mouth.
The remaining fishbone pillars were taken out and thrown to the door. Xiao Hei Xiao Bai Xiao Hua saw it and ran towards it.Zhu Zi glanced at it with a smile, and returned to the house with a full sense of accomplishment.
When lying on the kang at night, Zhuzi thought of pangolins, so he joked with Wang Pengze, saying, "Uncle, what if you really have milk after eating pangolins?"
Wang Pengze stared at the pillar and said, "Then I won't eat pangolins tomorrow, I'll share them with you."
"I don't eat pangolins." Zhuzi smiled, "If you have milk, I will eat your milk."
Wang Pengze also thought today's incident was funny, so he laughed a few times, lifted his quilt a little, and whispered to Zhuzi, "Come to sleep, I've been feeling cold today."
Zhu Zi fell asleep, hugged Wang Pengze's hot body through the long johns, and said, "You look so strong when you hold them, but in fact your body is so weak. Is it really out of worry?"
"Am I as sad as you said?" Wang Pengze said, "Didn't I explain it to you?
After thinking for a long time, Wang Pengze replied:
"Back then you were a child, and hugging you was just teasing you. Now that you are an adult, I can't hug you so casually. It's nothing for two adults to hug you together."
Zhuzi turned over angrily, without any sleepiness, and opened his eyes to wait for the dawn.
After dawn, the two of them didn't get up immediately, and waited until the temperature of the kang cooled before getting up separately.Wang Pengze made a simple breakfast, and then the two went about their own business.Zhu Zi continued to lead the mouse to check the heating channel in the wall. Wang Pengze took Xiao Hei Xiao Bai Xiao Hua out for a short time to inspect it, and came back soon. Instead of saying hello to Zhu Zi, he went directly to open the warehouse and moved out a The wooden frame, took a saw and a hammer and knocked and repaired it.
The two were standing in the same wilderness, standing in the same yard, and they didn't talk to each other, which made Zhu Zi feel very sad. When he poked the heating duct a little bit harder, he made a very loud noise.Wang Pengze didn't even look up, he just used nails to reinforce the strange wooden frame, and knocked over and over "bang bang bang".
At noon, Wang Pengze went back to the house to cook. He made another stew, and when it was done, he called Zhuzi to eat.Zhu Zi entered the room, sat by the fire and ate, without looking at Wang Pengze.Wang Pengze wanted to talk to Zhuzi to melt the atmosphere, so he asked, "How is the repair of the heating tunnel going?" Zhuzi said "hmm".Wang Pengze said again: "It's not easy to repair, so we don't need to be too serious. Now we are the only one living in this room, and the others are empty. If we really need to heat it up, it's a bit of a waste of coal." The pillar said "hmm" again With a sound, he raised the bowl and poured rice into his mouth.Wang Pengze said, "What do you mean when you come and go? You didn't answer a single question." Zhu Zi put the bowl on the table and immediately stood up and went out. Wang Pengze was so angry that he lost his appetite to eat.
Zhuzi felt that his anger was getting bigger and bigger, and the only way to vent it was to fix the heating in this house as soon as possible.He climbed up and down, and finally cleared everything in the middle of the afternoon, and inserted two pieces of iron sheets into the heating passage leading to other rooms to separate them, so that there is no need to waste heating for those unoccupied houses.
After finishing the repair, his face was covered with dust, and he yelled to Wang Pengze angrily: "I'm done repairing it." Then he went to the house to wash his hands.Wang Pengze shouted, "Zhuzi, come here."
Zhu Zhu turned around and walked slowly, seeing Wang Pengze laying several straw mats on the wooden shelf.Wang Pengze took off his gloves, patted the dust and grass foam off his body, pointed to the wooden frame and said to the post, "I made you a sled."
This sled needs the physical strength of Xiao Hei Xiao Bai Xiao Hua to act as power.At the beginning, Zhu Zi was worried that the three earth dogs did not have such great strength. After running, he realized that there was no need to worry at all. They couldn't help rushing forward happily, their twelve paws stomping on the snow and chattering all the time.The disadvantage is that it is impossible to control the direction. Xiaobai and Xiaohua take Xiaohei as the direction. Wherever Xiaohei runs, he will immediately lead the sled to slide there. Being pulled farther and farther away from the weather station by three big and lively dogs.
Wang Pengze stood at the gate of the weather station, squinting and watching with a smile. He felt that the distance was too far, so he pulled off his mask and took out a whistle from his pocket to blow.The whistle sounded very faint after being carried far away in the cold wind, but Xiao Hei Xiao Bai Xiao Hua heard them clearly, and immediately turned around and ran back, pulling the sled and rushing towards Wang Pengze at high speed.After the sled came back, the three dogs jumped on Wang Pengze excitedly. When Wang Pengze saw that the eyelashes were frosted with frost on the pillar, he stopped feeling funny and went over to help him.Zhu Zi struggled to take off his mask, laughed excitedly, and shouted repeatedly: "It's so fun, it's so fun..."
After the room was warmed up, Wang Pengze regained a lot of vitality. He seemed to be tired of wearing thick and heavy clothes. He took off his cotton coat as soon as he came in, and sometimes only wore a sweater. He sat at the square table comfortably, writing and calculating.Zhu Zhu sat on a low stool next to Wang Pengze to boil water to wash his clothes. He wrung out the shirts, underwear, autumn clothes and long trousers of the two of them, and hung them in a neat row on a rope against the wall in the room.No matter what he does, he likes to turn his head to look at Wang Pengze quietly. When he sees Wang Pengze showing his face and hands, his eyes are focused and serious, and his big hands are rubbing the paper and pen on the table. These details give him a sweet feeling. Life should be real like this.Especially after dark, seeing this scene around him under the light will move him even more. Everything he likes is close at hand, and he can walk over and touch it at any time.
In the past, Wang Pengze always made stews because it was cold in the room, and the fried dishes would get cold quickly; now Wang Pengze started to cook seriously, making braised pork, steamed pork, Dongpo pork and sweet and sour pork for Zhuzi... Wang Pengze knew that his liver was not good, He doesn't eat much meat, but only looks at the pillars to eat.Zhuzi said, why don't we cook a few fish in the future, the fish has no fat, so you can eat it too.Wang Pengze said yes, the Chinese New Year is coming, and eating fish means having more than enough every year.Zhuzi asked if he wanted to drive to the village to buy.Wang Pengze thought about it, and said that we should go fishing by ourselves. Anyway, we have a lot of time and it is not too far to drive.
When Wang Pengze went out to copy the weather data again, he didn't have to walk. He sat on a sled and was dragged by little black and white flowers.Zhuzhu helped Wang Pengze find a slender branch with a bone tied to the front end, and asked Wang Pengze to hold the branch and stretch the bone in front of the three dogs so that he could control the direction of the sled.After Wang Pengze set off, Zhuzi would step on a long ladder to climb up to the roof, looking at Wang Pengze's figure from beginning to end.The sun was shining brightly on the snow, and the wind was blowing hard. Every time Wang Pengze stopped at a place, he always threw the bone to three dogs to fight for. When he set off to another place, he took another bone out of his cotton coat pocket and tied it to it. .
Zhu Zhu stood on the roof and watched with a smile, Wang Pengze stopped and walked but couldn't get out of his field of vision.Sometimes Zhuzi looks at this empty and uninhabited snow field, and secretly thinks that the relationship between him and Wang Pengze seems to be a bit like a husband and wife at this moment. return.Zhuzi thought it was funny, so he smiled and thought that he didn't want to look like a woman, and Wang Pengze certainly didn't want to, either. If Wang Pengze told this obscene imagination, he would definitely be scolded.During dinner, Wang Pengze asked Zhuzhu under the lamp: "Why do you climb to the roof every day these days?" Zhuzi said, "The scenery on the roof is good, and you can see far." After a while, he smiled and said, "Today I saw you standing on the roof from a distance, with the smoke rising from the kitchen, and suddenly felt like a home here."
This kind of solitary life made both of them forget which day it was Chinese New Year.When sleeping on the kang at night, Wang Pengze turned sideways and asked Zhuzi which day you were on vacation. Zhuzi said a date. Wang Pengze thought for a while and said, "Oh, the day after tomorrow will be Chinese New Year." So the next morning Wang Pengze I boiled the paste and pasted the Spring Festival couplets together with the pillars. There are more than a dozen large and small doors in this yard, and the red paper and black letters everywhere make this small space a cool red.After posting the Spring Festival couplets, the two stood in the middle of the yard, looking around with a little surprise.Zhuzi thought to himself that Spring Festival couplets are really a wonderful thing. This is a dilapidated, gray and dull courtyard, but at this moment, the Spring Festival couplets are pasted with a piece of red, which is so eye-catching under the hazy clouds that it makes people panic.This yard has become the most conspicuous place on this barren snow field, it seems that all ghosts and gods are focusing on this place, making it look weak because of loneliness.
This made Zhuzi suddenly want to hug Wang Pengze, so he walked up to Wang Pengze and called softly, "Uncle." Wang Pengze absent-mindedly gave a "hmm" and raised his head to look at the sky.So Zhuzhu walked in front of Wang Pengze, stretched out his arms and hugged him, Wang Pengze didn't refuse, looked over Zhuzi's shoulder, passed through the courtyard gate, and stared blankly at the end of Xueye.
Both were too thickly clothed, like two clumsy dolls, not suitable for hugging.Soon Wang Pengze broke away from Zhuzhu's arm and said, "I'm going to read the meter now, and we'll make dumplings when I get back." Then he walked out of the courtyard gate, took out his whistle from his pocket, and blew twice. Excitedly ran to the sled.Zhu Zi went to help put the three dogs on the sled, went back to the house to get some bones, and said to Wang Pengze: "Then you pay attention to safety, I will wait for you at home."
With plenty of time, the two slowly made many dumplings.Zhuzhu carried the dumplings to the roof by stepping on wooden ladders, and when they were frozen hard, they were packed into sacks and buried in the snow.In the middle of the afternoon, Wang Pengze was a little puzzled, and asked Zhuzi, "Is it the New Year tomorrow? Why don't I feel it?" Zhuzi said, "You did the math." Wang Pengze calculated it carefully on the paper again with a pen, and smiled. : "I made a mistake, I missed one day, and the day after tomorrow will be Chinese New Year."
Having dumplings for dinner, Wang Pengze looked at the dumplings in the bowl, and said to Zhuzi before moving his chopsticks: "That's fine, we just have time to go fishing tomorrow."
The next morning he didn't leave until 10 o'clock in the morning, because Wang Pengze had to go to the warehouse to find fishing rods, and after finding the fishing rods, he had to make bait.After driving northward from the weather station for about an hour, Wang Pengze said, "Here we are." After Zhuzi got out of the car, he couldn't see where the river was, and followed Wang Pengze downhill for another ten minutes, when he suddenly realized that there was a river under his feet. , a very wide river, frozen in winter and covered with snow, so it is not easy to see from a distance.
Neither had any experience fishing in this season and place, and it took an hour with a hammer and chisel to cut a hole in the ice.It was noon again, and the two of them went back to the car to eat some dry food, took a short rest, went to the ice again, and saw a fish next to the ice hole, its tail flapping up and down helplessly, It should have jumped out of the hole impatiently, but was trapped on the ice.
This unexpected discovery made both of them very excited. Wang Pengze said that it seems that this fish is very easy to catch. In winter, the fish are very hungry, and they will scramble to bite the bait when they see it.Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Wang Pengze put the hook into the water, and within 5 minutes he felt a sudden sinking, and he pulled it up hard. It was a very big fish.
The two forgot about the cold, and kept fishing until half the afternoon with great interest.Later, Wang Pengze saw a snowflake falling on the glove, looked up vigilantly, and found that there were snowflakes under the sky far and near, so he put away the fishing rod, and said to the pillar that we would not fish, we had to go back quickly , If the snow is heavy, it will be difficult to hurry.Zhu Zi packed the fish he caught into two sacks, carried them with Wang Pengze and loaded them into the jeep.Wang Pengze started the car, it buzzed, but it couldn't ignite, he frowned and said to himself, "Trouble, it looks like it's too cold."
Twenty minutes later, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Wang Pengze got out of the car, opened the front compartment to check the engine, then took a sack and spread it on the snow under the jeep, climbed in, and lay on his back to repair the car, with only his legs exposed. outside.Zhu Zhu squatted beside him, and saw Wang Pengze lying under the car in a cramped manner, taking off his gloves, holding a wrench in his bare hands to repair the car, reaching out to screw something, and when he retracted, his hands were covered with oil.The wind whipped up the snow on the ground, whizzed across the bottom of the car, and blew the snow particles onto Wang Pengze's eyes.Zhuzi asked distressedly: "Uncle, are you cold?" Wang Pengze said what are you doing here, so hurry up and stay in the car.
Zhu Zi went back to the car and sat, leaned close to the car window to look out, and then saw Wang Pengze's legs moved, as if he was about to come out, so he hurriedly pushed the car door down, helped Wang Pengze climb out from under the car, I helped him pat off the snow, grabbed his hand while he was busy, it felt as cold as ice, probably frozen.Wang Pengze sat in the driver's seat and tried to start the car, but it still buzzed and wouldn't start.Wang Pengze was annoyed and wanted to go down and continue repairing. Zhuzi said, wait a minute, uncle, quickly took off his gloves, put them on Wang Pengze's hands, and hugged those hands in his arms again, saying: "Warm up first, then go to repair. "Wang Pengze said that my hands are full of oil stains, how can I wear these gloves in the future.Zhuzi replied that it was all right, I will wash it when I go back.
Maybe the car was too badly damaged. Wang Pengze drilled under the car three times, but it still hasn't been repaired.After each failure, he had to sit in the car and think for a while, so Zhu Zi took the opportunity to put warm gloves on his hands and hug him to keep him warm.Seeing the sky slowly getting dark, Wang Pengze was cold and impatient, and became irritable and irritable. Seeing Zhuzhu squatting on the snow ground and looking at himself with a sad face, he scolded angrily: "Didn't I let you sit in the car? Why don't you go quickly?" Zhu Zi didn't go, and sat down on the upwind place to block the wind and snow under the car for Wang Pengze.
The snow fell more and more densely, and was torn by the strong cold wind to rush around, making people dare not open their eyes. Even if they opened their eyes, they couldn't see anything else clearly, only a whirring madness could be seen in the dim light. Rolled snowflakes.This is a dangerous moment, Zhuzi is a little scared, wondering if this is a blizzard?Hearing that Wang Pengze opened the door again and got into the car, he hurriedly stood up and ran to look outside the driver's seat.Wang Pengze started the car again, and it finally started normally. With a sigh of relief, he put on his gloves and shouted to Zhuzhu: "Come on, let's go." Zhuzi pulled out the sack from the bottom of the car, opened the door and threw it into the car, and went to the front again. Sit on the passenger seat.
Turn on the headlights, only to see dense snowflakes flying in all directions in the cold wind, it is impossible to see the direction.Wang Pengze said that when we came, we were heading north and parked facing east. Now we turn right and drive straight back.Zhuzi worriedly reminded: "Uncle, we didn't walk straight when we came here, we turned a few inconspicuous turns." Wang Pengze looked serious and said, "That will also get closer and closer to the camp, let's talk about it after walking." Bar."
Surrounded by the wind and snow like this, I didn't know how long I drove. Zhuzi was very nervous at first, looking ahead energetically, and then gradually became sleepy and dozed off in a daze.He didn't seem to have slept for a long time. When he woke up, he found that Wang Pengze had stopped the car, sat quietly in the driver's seat, and kept his hands in his sleeves to keep warm.Zhu Zi knew at a glance that he was lost, but he was not worried about this, but worried that Wang Pengze would be sad and blame himself, so he leaned over and asked softly, "Uncle, are you okay?"
"We are still lost." Wang Pengze said, "If we continue to walk, we may go further and further wrong. We have to wait until dawn."
The two had no dry food for dinner, so they had to survive the freezing night in the jeep hungry.The collar of the cotton coat was turned up, the scarf covered the face and only the eyes were exposed, the button of the cotton hat was tightly buttoned, and the gloves were put on and sat in silence.After a while, Zhu Zi turned his head to stare at Wang Pengze, quickly took off his gloves, reached out and grabbed Wang Pengze's hat.Wang Pengze hurriedly asked: "Why the pillar?" The pillar removed the fluffy decoration on the front of Wang Pengze's locomotive hat, let it hang down to cover Wang Pengze's eyes, and then explained: "It will be warmer this way. .”
Wang Pengze was not happy, and blamed: "How much warmer can this be? You broke a good hat."
Zhuzi retorted plausibly: "It's a little bit warmer, and no one is watching this kind of place, so what do you care about?"
"I'm not a fastidious person." Wang Pengze explained helplessly, "I'm not fastidious, I think you're making a fuss over a molehill, and you're in a hurry when something happens, so you might as well just throw the fish away and put the clothes on." The fish sacks can also be used to keep out the cold."
Zhuzi's eyes lit up, and he pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Yes, why didn't I think of that!"
Zhuzi asked Wang Pengze: "Uncle, are you cold?"
Wang Pengze answered angrily, "It's not cold."
"It's no wonder it's not cold." Zhu Zi reached into Wang Pengze's glove to hold his hand. After holding it for a while, he became sad and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what's wrong with your body?"
After waiting, Wang Pengze didn't answer, and Zhuzi said again: "Your body temperature is always so low, and you don't think of a way."
Wang Pengze lifted the obstacle in front of him, and he could see Zhuzi's eyes clearly in the dim light reflected in the car by the heavy wind and snow in the dark night. Seeing his anxious expression, he smiled and said, "When a person is over 40 years old, his body will Every day is worse than every day, I can't be as strong as you at your age, life, old age, sickness and death are normal things."
"Why are you talking so far away?" Zhuzi said angrily, "How can it be related to birth, old age, sickness and death?"
"Is life, old age, sickness and death far away?" Wang Pengze asked Zhuzi, "This is a very realistic thing. I have to think about it, and you have to think about it too. The reason why your Aunt Yao Min's parents think I am older is because I will be older than you, Yao Min. Auntie died more than ten years earlier, and by then, their daughter will be a lonely old man."
This topic is too heavy for Zhuzi. Although he often talks about the word "life and death", he has never seriously considered that the person in front of him will die one day.He stared blankly at Wang Pengze in the dim light, but couldn't see his face, only his bloated figure wrapped in a thick cotton coat.When he spoke again, his voice sounded like a powerful oath: "Aunt Yao Min doesn't care about you, I care about you."
Wang Pengze was a little sleepy, and responded with drowsiness: "I have Xiaochuan. You should think about your own future, your situation is worse than mine."
Zhu Zhu stood up, held the back of the chair with his hands, and straddled from the middle of the two seats to the back row with difficulty.Wang Pengze turned his head and asked, "What are you going to do again, Zhuzi?"
Zhuzi said: "The fish is frozen into ice edges, which will only make the car colder. I throw it out and use a sack to keep out the cold."
Wang Pengze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he stretched out his hand to grab Zhuzi's padded coat, and said, "Why are you taking it seriously, come and sit down quickly, and don't touch my fish."
Zhu Zhu stretched out his hand to push the car door, and the wind and snow howled in. Wang Pengze hurriedly withdrew his hand to press the cotton coat tightly, Zhu Zhu jumped down, dragged two sacks out, and immediately closed the car door.Wang Pengze put his eyes close to the car window and looked at the dark night outside. He saw Zhuzhu standing in the wind and snow, dumping all the frozen fish in the sacks on the snow, shaking off the snow particles and Icicles, and opened the car door to get in.
After spreading all the sacks on the seats in the back row, Zhu Zi said, "Uncle, come lie down and rest in the back row."
Wang Pengze looked back at the dark seat, and asked Zhuzi, "What about you?"
"I'll sit in front and talk to you."
Seeing Wang Pengze's hesitation, Zhuzi became impatient and said loudly, "Come here and lie down."
Wang Pengze had no choice but to stand up, holding Zhuzi's hand, bent over and stepped between the two seats, curled up on the back seat, and said to Zhuzi, "Let's take turns sleeping. You wake me up later."
Zhuzi squatted down in front of Wang Pengze's face, held his hand, suddenly became sad, and said with a sigh: "Uncle, you just said that life, old age, sickness and death are natural things, why don't you think about it, if one day you die What should I do?"
In the darkness, Wang Pengze's eyes were shining brightly, staring at the pillar in a daze, he didn't speak for a long time.Zhu Zhu waited for a while, then went to sit in the front seat in silence.
Wang Pengze woke up in the middle of the night, and called out in a weak voice, "Zhuzi, it's time for you to come and sleep for a while." He was about to sit up as he said this, but he didn't even get up after he tried a few times as usual.
Zhu Zi felt something was wrong when he heard the voice, so he stepped into the back row, touched Wang Pengze's forehead with his hand, and sighed, "Uncle, you have a fever again."
Wang Pengze finally supported the seat with his hands and sat up. He felt weak all over, his head was heavy, and his mind was a little confused.Zhuzi put his arms around Wang Pengze's shoulders and let him lie down again. Feeling him shivering from the cold, he asked distressedly, "Is it cold, uncle?" Wang Pengze replied vaguely, "It's cold."
This is the moment when the night is deep, and the icy and heavy air current whirls between the sky and the earth, sweeping and destroying, boundless and endless, but it can't shake this small shelter in the jeep on this snowy field .Zhu Zi leaned close to Wang Pengze's face, and whispered in his ear: "Uncle, you don't have to be afraid of me, I will never do anything you don't like."
He threw away his gloves, took off his cotton coat, and took off the coat to wrap around Wang Pengze's feet; then he unbuttoned Wang Pengze's cotton coat and coat, and lay down hugging Wang Pengze's body tightly through the sweater, and again Use your own cotton coat as a quilt to cover two people.
Wang Pengze struggled for a while, and said vaguely: "Zhuzi, you hug me too tightly, I can't breathe."
"I can't help it." Zhu Zi explained with a smile, "The place is so small, if I don't hold it tight, I will fall."
He relaxed a little, adjusted his position so that Wang Pengze's legs could be curled up more comfortably, held Wang Pengze's head in his arms to warm him, and Wang Pengze fell into a deep sleep.
Zhu Zi didn't sleep all night, his posture was extremely uncomfortable, and it was impossible to fall asleep, but he didn't care about it at all.He was intoxicated in the thick and real happiness, and excitedly rubbed his hands over Wang Pengze's face over and over again, and put his eyes on Wang Pengze's hot forehead.Several times he wanted to kiss Wang Pengze's mouth, but felt that it was not the right time, and finally he couldn't bear it and kissed secretly, kissing Wang Pengze and waking up.In the darkness, Zhuzi suddenly found that Wang Pengze had been looking at him with his eyes open. He was so surprised that he trembled all over. Wang Pengze seemed a little unhappy, so he said helplessly, "If you really want to kiss me, you can be bold." Zhuzi looked into Wang Pengze's eyes , guessing whether this sentence is affirming or denying, finally smiled and kissed gently, the two cooperated in a long, real kiss, but the kiss is not over yet. Wang Pengze has already Once fell asleep.Zhuzi laughed secretly, thinking that Wang Pengze's reaction was an anecdote.He patted Wang Pengze with his hands like a sleeping baby. He wanted to reach out to touch other parts of Wang Pengze's body a few times, but suddenly remembered that Wang Pengze was a patient with a fever and couldn't help but began to blame himself fiercely. , I no longer have selfish distractions, and earnestly get close to Wang Pengze's body, holding him tenderly until dawn.
Zhuzi fell asleep for a while in drowsiness, and heard Wang Pengze's voice whispering in his ear: "Zhuzi." Then he woke up, and saw that the sky was already bright, and although the cold wind was still howling, there were only sporadic clouds in the sky. snowflake.Wang Pengze felt that the pillar was hugged too tightly, so he tried to move it a few times, but to no avail, he said, "Are you still not letting go?"
"I really don't want to let you go." Zhu Zi said with a smile.Putting her face on Wang Pengze's forehead, she said softly, "You are still very hot, it looks like you will have to stay in bed for a few days. Fortunately, I am here to take care of you."
Wang Pengze said loudly: "Why don't you say that because of you, I have a high fever now?" With this loud voice, I felt that my voice was also hoarse.
"Stop talking loudly," Zhu Zi instructed.After thinking about it, he said, "Sometimes I really don't understand whether your illness is a good thing or a bad thing."
"I'm sick, don't you think it's a good thing?" Wang Pengze complained angrily, and scolded unhappily, "Get up, I'm going to drive back."
Zhuzi helped Wang Pengze fasten the cotton coat and the buttons on the cotton coat, and helped him up. Wang Pengze's legs were numb and his body was weak, and he felt dizzy even when he was sitting.Zhu Zi said that you can just drive later, and I will do other work. He opened the car door and went out, and then quickly closed it with a snap.
Most of the wheels were submerged in the snow. Zhuzhu showed his supernatural power and stood alone behind pushing the cart. With a hey yo, he pushed forward a short distance, and when he let go of his hand, the four wheels fell back again.Wang Pengze smiled and said in the car: "Zhu Zi, don't forget the fish we caught. We suffered so much because of them. Now it's time to use them." Zhu Zi understood, and picked those fish from the snow. The fish, which had been frozen into ice cubes, sat behind the wheels and slowly pushed the jeep onto the snow.
Zhu Zi put the rest of the fish into sacks and carried them into the car, climbed on the roof of the car and looked into the distance, trying to see where the weather station was.When Wang Pengze was driving, Zhu Zi bent down and leaned on the back of the driver's seat to support him firmly, for fear of anything happening.Wang Pengze said that what could happen to me, you like to make things nervous, and I told you yesterday.Zhuzi replied, I don't care what you say, as long as it's safe.
It took half the morning to return to the weather station, and from a distance I saw little black and white flowers running over the snow to greet them.Wang Pengze sighed and said that I finally came back, I think I'm almost dying.Zhuzi said uncle, don't worry, you will be fine with me.The pillar carried Wang Pengze on his back, and walked towards the courtyard step by step through the snow, and suddenly saw the red Spring Festival couplets on the courtyard door, and then remembered that it was the first day of the new year, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I forgot to say something to you gone."
Then seriously shouted: "Uncle, Happy New Year!"
Wang Pengze also remembered, looked up at the Spring Festival couplets on Zhuzi's back, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, Zhuzi!"
He lowered his head and leaned on the shoulder of the pillar, and said apologetically in a low voice: "Look at this New Year's Eve. You came all the way to celebrate the New Year with me, but you starved and froze outside all night on New Year's Eve."
"I've been very happy this year." Zhuzi said, "The only thing I'm worried about is that you're sick."
After reheating the house, Zhu Zi took care of Wang Pengze to sleep, cooked two more bowls of dumplings and brought them to Wang Pengze.Wang Pengze lost his appetite, and after eating two, he didn't want to eat any more.Zhuzi said: "You should eat more, Uncle. I'm going to find a doctor for you. I don't know if I can come back at noon. What if you are hungry?" Wang Pengze asked: "Look for a doctor? Where do you go to find a doctor? "Zhuzi said he didn't know, let's go to the village and ask first.Wang Pengze said that there is no need to go, I will just rest for a while.Zhuzi said no, but I said I would go.
Wang Pengze had nothing to do with Zhuzi's temper, so he had to sit up and ask Zhuzi to bring the paper and pen.Zhuzi brought paper and pen, took off his shoes and got on the kang, sat behind Wang Pengze, wrapped Wang Pengze in a cotton coat, and asked Wang Pengze to lean in his arms.Wang Pengze drew a detailed map of several nearby villages in Zhuzi's arms, marked the directions and distances, and told Zhuzi that you can look for them in these villages. If you can't find a doctor, it's fine. , I will also treat myself to a doctor.Zhuzi said that even if you know how to see a doctor, you must have medicine.
After installing the map and putting on the cotton coat, before opening the door, Zhuzi waved goodbye to Wang Pengze and said, "Uncle, I'm leaving, you have a good rest." Opening and closing the door, Zhuzhu suddenly appeared out of the window ten seconds later The banging on the window startled Wang Pengze.The pillar shouted through the glass: "Uncle, you should drink plenty of water and rest more, the boiling water is on the table beside your bed."
Zhu Zi took a sled to find a doctor. Later, when he saw that the three dogs were tired from running, he got off the sled and walked. In the cold wind, he unfolded the map drawn by Wang Pengze and read it over and over again.He asked from village to village, and he found an old Chinese doctor at noon.The old Chinese doctor is very kind, and when he heard that he was a member of the expedition team, he enthusiastically left Zhuzi for lunch.Zhuzi ate the stewed pork vermicelli in a state of anxiety, and carefully suggested that he should go on the road early, and said to the old Chinese doctor, "My uncle is at home alone, so he may not even have lunch."
The old Chinese doctor asked his son to drive a carriage, Zhu Zi moved the sled to the carriage, and the three hurried to the weather station.Little Black, Little White, and Little Flower galloped along with the horse effortlessly.After returning to the weather station, Zhu Zi eagerly opened the door. Wang Pengze heard someone coming back, and was sitting up slowly, but he didn't have lunch.
It took a long time to see the doctor. The old Chinese doctor took the pulse for a long time while chatting with Wang Pengze. He seemed to be full of interest in science.Zhu Zi went there in a carriage, and came back in a sleigh, with a large bag of Chinese medicine in his arms.It was already mid-afternoon.
As soon as Zhuzi entered the house, he threw away the medicine, sat on the edge of the kang, held Wang Pengze's hand, and complained: "I know you don't like to eat in front of outsiders, so you didn't do anything for lunch. I'll let you eat in the morning Eat more dumplings, but you won’t listen.” Wang Pengze wondered, “What are you talking about? After you guys left, I heated up my own food and ate it.” Zhu Zi looked at the table, and the bowl of leftover dumplings was gone.
Wang Pengze said to Zhuzi, "I'm your uncle. I'm over 40 years old. You always treat me like a child when you talk and do things."
Zhuzi said, "You are a patient now."
"You were like this when I was not a patient." Wang Pengze said angrily, "If you talk to me like that again in the future, I will beat you up."
When Zhuzi was boiling the medicine, Wang Pengze sat up in a cotton-padded coat, and beckoned, "Bring it here and let me see what it is." Zhuzi took the medicine to the bed, and Wang Pengze picked it up one by one and looked at it carefully. He frowned and said, "This Old man, did he sell you all the weird medicines?" Zhu Zi was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I remember this medicine. Your Aunt Yao Min took it at her natal home after she gave birth to Xiao Chuan. It's called pangolin." Wang Pengze raised a strange-shaped thing in front of his eyes and said doubtfully, "It can cure women without milk. What's the use of it if I eat it?" Use it?"
"The doctor said that you need to take a good supplement." Zhuzi explained, after thinking about it, he found it ridiculous, so he asked, "Then do you still take this medicine?"
Wang Pengze put down the pangolin, sighed, and said, "Eat, maybe the doctor thinks it has other uses."
Then he taught Zhuzi without losing the opportunity: "When you encounter such a strange thing in the future, you must ask clearly, and you can't just do what others say."
Zhuzi walked away with a helpless smile and poured the medicine into the medicine pot.
After taking care of Wang Pengze and taking the medicine, Zhuzi said that he would cook a few dishes for the Chinese New Year, so he had to eat well.He asked Wang Pengze to guide him, and Wang Pengze lay on his side and looked at the stove, telling Zhuzi in detail how to do it, what ingredients to put in, and how much salt to put in.Zhu Zi hurriedly did it too slowly, Wang Pengze watched it for a while and secretly laughed, then suddenly felt dizzy and fell asleep again.When he woke up again, he saw Zhuzi holding a plate of black fish, and he leaned over to the bed in the steaming heat, and said with a smile, "Uncle, I cooked the fish."
Zhuzi put the quilt and pillow behind Wang Pengze to make him lie a little higher, and prevented Wang Pengze from doing anything. He took the chopsticks to remove the fishbone and fed the fish to Wang Pengze.Wang Pengze ate two mouthfuls, Zhuzi asked: "Is it delicious?" Wang Pengze nodded and said with a smile: "It's delicious." Zhuzi smiled and said: "Then you finish the fish?" Wang Pengze was slightly startled, then smiled again Answer: "Okay." So Zhuzi patiently picked the bones of the fish and fed all the fish meat into Wang Pengze's mouth.
The remaining fishbone pillars were taken out and thrown to the door. Xiao Hei Xiao Bai Xiao Hua saw it and ran towards it.Zhu Zi glanced at it with a smile, and returned to the house with a full sense of accomplishment.
When lying on the kang at night, Zhuzi thought of pangolins, so he joked with Wang Pengze, saying, "Uncle, what if you really have milk after eating pangolins?"
Wang Pengze stared at the pillar and said, "Then I won't eat pangolins tomorrow, I'll share them with you."
"I don't eat pangolins." Zhuzi smiled, "If you have milk, I will eat your milk."
Wang Pengze also thought today's incident was funny, so he laughed a few times, lifted his quilt a little, and whispered to Zhuzi, "Come to sleep, I've been feeling cold today."
Zhu Zi fell asleep, hugged Wang Pengze's hot body through the long johns, and said, "You look so strong when you hold them, but in fact your body is so weak. Is it really out of worry?"
"Am I as sad as you said?" Wang Pengze said, "Didn't I explain it to you?
