Shen Congwen in Spring

Author: Shen Congwen

Fan Lushi, a third-year medical student, is tall and handsome, as decent as a small ginkgo tree. At this time, he was coming out of the living room with a very beautiful woman. He came to tell his friends something today. Dear readers, in this spring, when two young people want to say something, they should be allowed to walk out of the living room and cross the garden. Under those empty skies and quiet flowers, you won't object. They are just going to the garden.

But just after they arrived at the porch, a lark was singing and pulling two young people.

Standing by the copper wire cage, the medical students were surprised to see a string of broken jade flowing from the source like a lark's throat and mouth. There seems to be a kind of doubt, so it is necessary to ask clearly, "Who taught you to sing so happily, your master?"

The woman smiled at this situation. "It's like this all day. It seems very happy. " As he spoke, he stretched out a white hand to the cage, deliberately scaring the sparrow. But it just skipped a little and cried as if nothing had happened.

The medical student said to Bailing, "Look at your air. You think I don't understand. I understand everything. I understand why you are so happy! " He means because you have such a beautiful host.

The woman smiled and said, "It seems to really understand who has friendship with it! It is not afraid of me or my white cat. " In order to prove this point, the woman shook the cage with her hand again, and the clever bird tilted her head at the woman as if to say, "I'm not afraid." I'm not afraid of you messing with me. "As soon as the woman left the cage, she cried happily again.

Medical students also smile at this situation. "Cunning thing, you know your master!

But I warn you! It's a doctor, I calculate that you sing so recklessly, one day you will fall down your throat, tomorrow you will catch a cold, and the day after tomorrow you will cough ... "The lark seems to really understand people's words and understand that the person standing in front of it is a doctor who should be respected. Hearing what the doctor said about taking medicine to cure the disease, he was a little suspicious and couldn't be happy anymore. So he cocked his little head slightly, smart and modest, and looked at the medical students as if to ask, "So, doctor, what do you think? "Who knows how this medical student will understand this modest problem? But the medical students made it clear: "Listen to me, behave yourself and be temperate. I thought it would be good for you to scream less every day. You seem to be wearing a little too thick. Why don't you change your hairstyle? "

The woman smiled and whispered, "Enough, enough. Look, it's looking at you again. It will also ask you, doctor, what should I eat every morning and wash my feet at night? "

"Well, I said, eat nothing, eat whatever you like. Be modest and behave solemnly ... "Bailing was surprised to see that the two men discussed various issues. At this time, he didn't seem to believe the medical students' lessons, and suddenly he cried again. The medical student was dragged down the slope by a woman with one hand and said, "Don't believe me, wait until you have a headache." I want you to know that you can't help but believe the doctor! "

Laughing all the way, they walked down the slope and came to the garden. It's almost April, and a series of sunny days, separated by a few light rains, have redecorated all kinds of trees in the garden. All kinds of flowers and plants seem to be trying to pull up from the ground. In the warm sunshine, they stick to their duties, stand quietly, do their best to lay out and bloom in an orderly way with invisible hands. Those who have blossomed and are responsible are all at the bottom of the leaves, dotted with a small fruit. At this time, next to the long fence, rows of peach blossoms planted are as lively as fire. There are even wings, yellow as gold, and wooden pens stand up the flower tips.

Along a meadow, two rows of thin begonia branches and silver branches are covered with small buds, which seem to be waiting for the command of heaven. The color seems to be cut from the faces and mouths of countless girls. The white clouds in the sky are moving slowly in the breeze, pushing, squeezing and moving out of the empty space. They look as deep as the sea, but there has never been a sea so deep and flat. The breeze that moves the clouds also gently shakes all the taller and weaker branches. When the wind blows on people, people feel a little tired and a little disappointed, just like grandma's hand or mom's hand, gently rubbing her face, stroking her hair and pulling her skirts. It also gently brought the fragrance of all kinds of flowers, plants and leaves, and the smell of fresh earth.

The woman walks a little ahead, and the medical students are waiting for the opportunity to speak, but they haven't come yet. Looking at the soft back symbolizing spring, as well as the snow-white neck and arms, I thought of something as I walked. The woman said in front: "Look at my Haitang, so timid. Since you have talked a lot to me, talk to Haitang. " Women are so talkative and can talk.

Medical students took a step forward. "If Haitang can talk, he won't dare to talk at this time."

"Does this mean that he is shy in front of your doctor, or ...? "

After a moment's hesitation, the medical student said, "As far as I'm concerned, don't praise its owner, because the owner is so beautiful! ……"

"Come on." The lady stopped the medical students from speaking with a sign. After two steps, a black swallow passed over his head, and a shadow of the past passed over his mind, saying, "Didn't you say you were going to write poetry?" Why didn't you bring your poem today? " *

"My poem is here."

"Look at me or read it to me. I guess your success in poetry is as bad as your research in bacteriology. "

"Poetry is in my eyes, read it to you, clouds in the sky, ..." "Forget it, it's still the same. Let me read it to you. Clouds in the sky, … I don't have to look for that poem in your eyes. I've been meaning to ask you, when will you be honest and talk to me with less flattery? Don't you think everything you say is inappropriate? "

As she spoke, the woman smiled at the medical students, as if to continue a wordless sentence: "Friend, I fully know your disadvantage."

The medical student argued, "I understand. You don't need to praise beautiful people, such as the rainbow in the sky. What kind of praise do you need? Rainbow originally existed with rain and the sun. Is there any way to describe it properly? "

"Come and see, there is no rain and no rainbow in the sky at this time."

"Yes, rainbows won't exist until it rains that day."

"Fortunately, I am not a rainbow, otherwise I will become a monster after the sun and rain!"

"You don't need rain and sunshine to set off, and you don't need flowers or anything else to touch up."

"I feel as if I need you to talk a lot of empty words to exist."

"I'm embarrassed to say. /kloc-which princess do we still think is beautiful after 0/000 years? Should we thank those poets? Because I am not a talented poet, and it is stupid to speak at this time. "

"Don't mention it, your genius who have to admit. Dr. Lacker, who teaches pathology at school, gave you a commendation. My lark heard all the lessons you said. As for me, it goes without saying. "

"I thank you for giving me the courage to become a poet."

"If you become a poet, you won't be so witty in conversation. If you want to be a poet, do it. I have no objection. "

At this time, the two have reached the end of the Haitang aisle. In front of it is a wisteria shelf. Turning around, there is a small earthen mountain with a small pond behind it. A pool of clear water, blue waves rippling. There is a white bench with a backrest under the willow tree.

The woman said, "future poet, please sit down." The days of writing poetry are very long, and this spring has passed quickly. Look, how beautiful the water is! "The woman said, holding hands with medical students in the past, they sat side by side.

After sitting down, the medical students put the woman's little white hand in their own hands and held it affectionately. Looking at the clouds floating overhead, we seem to see some distant scenes at the same time, and our souls tremble gently for this future or past scene.

"What can I say? I still say or not? " After a while, without speaking, the woman began to notice this situation.

The woman said, "What are you thinking? If the owner of this garden is allowed to speak, I want to say: you must not write poetry here. Look, swallow it. Look, how beautiful the water flows! Look, I ate this flower. ..... Why, don't talk! This garden is for us to play with. My father thinks it is wide and I can run around all day. If you get sick while writing a poem, my father will not be happy to hear it! "

The medical student looked at the woman, smiled gently and shook his head. "Say more."

"Say more? I want to hear something from you! Needless to say, I know what you want to say is: (pretending to be a man's voice) I was thinking, what's the difference between you and the rainbow in the sky? "

Medical students hold hands tightly. "Go on."

"When you go on, I'm not ready to talk so much! However, if you are so suspicious, I can tell you the difference between Hong and me. One is afraid of rain and the other is not afraid of rain. I can't stand rain. It's raining, and my lark is very unhappy and doesn't want to call. You see, the swallow played so dangerously that he slipped on the water and was not afraid of falling into the water. Swallows are also afraid of rain! Isn't Haitang also afraid of rain? ..... In this way, you are the only one who is not afraid of the rain, and everyone else is afraid of the rain ... You said, aren't you happy about the rain? Then, come to think of it, when I praise you in the future, I should say that you are as beautiful as a rainbow! You said ... "Because the female voice is very nice, she is so happy that she talks nonsense. Like a bird, medical students feel very happy and dare not say a word.

The woman looked into the eyes of the medical students and seemed to see a little secret. "You men should also praise yourself. You are so complete! There should be a gnome who is a policeman, take pictures of what XX mentioned in the story, and take the trouble to dress him up. This man who follows you all day. Let him call you a lion and a tiger-you deserve that name! You want him to do somersaults and sing in front of you, right? He will listen to your voice anywhere, won't he? You have to dress up and be an ideal prince, don't you? You have to nod, don't you? "

Medical students, like the people next to the lark cage, seem reluctant to let bigger larks fly away. They still held the woman's little hand tightly, shook their heads and just said, "Sing it again."

"Drink, do you want me to sing again?" As he withdrew his hand, he said hurriedly, "I'm not a lark!" " "

The medical student realized that he had made a mistake, walked over a little bit and said, "You don't have to be angry, I listen to you!"! Your voice is so beautiful that I am a little drunk, which is true. I'm still thinking about one thing. It's weird. When I don't see you at ordinary times, my soul hangs in the air for the person I remember. I think I am a happy person. If happiness is the right word, what word should I use to describe my feelings at this time of year? "

"I hope you flatter me less and save some, which will be useful another day!"

The medical students had nothing to say at the moment, so the woman went on to say, "Then, you can write poetry! Just say: God, how can I describe my feelings! Alas, alas ... Isn't that how poets write poems? "

"Or should I say a hundred times happier?"

"Do you remember multiplication? But this is multiplication, not poetry! "

"I remember what the rich clothing leader said to Caesar. He said,' I hope you can sing me an inferior song so that I can find a more suitable word from all the words.' You give me the same happiness. Because of the lack of such words, I am dumb. "It seems that in order to prove the mouth at that time, he really can't talk anymore. He put a woman's hand on his mouth for about a second.

When the woman took her hand away, she blushed a little and smiled down. "Come on, I'll be angry!" Yes, it seems that I immediately forgot this offensive behavior and went on to say, "I won't be dumb, don't worry." I tell you, if honesty and flattery can be measured by weight, I doubt that you always deliberately put more flattery in every sentence you say. But this can't be done, I know it clearly! "

"If I had a choice, now I would ... but since you think my words are mixed with honesty and flattery, then you can see the difference between them. I'll say whatever you want me to say. "

"Isn't that starling?"

"Starling also go! If everything I say in front of you is what you like, then why don't I be a starling? "

"But sometimes I don't like to hear honest words! Because honesty can also make people stupid. I'm afraid of that stupidity. "

"In front of you, actually speaking, it is easier to be a stupid person than to be a smart person."

"But lying is the same as playing dumb. I think playing dumb is even worse."

"So, my myna still can't."

"Do the story will talk about xx. Think of me as a princess, think of me more beautifully and think of me more completely. Don't forget that you are a prince. Your appearance and figure used to be decent, but this robe doesn't match. If robes can be turned into suits ... Come on, let's make a suit like that. Just go to see me and see how I am moved, for example, how my heart is beating in my chest ... talk nonsense! Sit down with me, you should say how to be happy. ..... Aren't there many poets among your friends? Just chatting, reading poems, ... Look, I'm waiting for you! "

At this time, the woman sat at a distance, pretending to be a lady, looking at the sky lazily. She folded a yellow flower around her, gently sniffed it on her nose, and her voice was a little lower. She deliberately imitated the acting manner and said to herself, "Birds in cages can't fly far, and people who grew up at home are hard to find." If I have a lover, even in the middle of the night, I will knock on her door. "

Just then, a pair of swallows slipped in front of them and forgot the identity of the princess. They just whispered in surprise, "Oh, look, this thing scared me to death!" " "

It's not proper for medical students to just smile and hold the woman's hand. "You look like a princess!" "With this, I want to raise her hand, and the woman will soon fall.

The woman said, "This is not good. A prince should also be a prince! Stand up, I see how powerful you lie to me! "

The doctor was silent, and the woman sang again: "When the door of heaven is opened in front of a fool, the fool's heart really doesn't want to wander outside;" If singing is the key to this love, he is willing to sing under the stars for a year. When the woman finished singing, she asked, "My prince, why don't you learn this beautiful song from your friends?" "

The medical students thought it was time, so they stood up, their lips trembled slightly, and were about to speak. The woman pretended not to know and turned her head away. I don't know why, the medical student suddenly walked away a little, stood under the willow tree, lowered his head for a while, and then raised his head, then looked at the woman timidly. "I want to say something serious!"

The woman said, "I listen carefully to your words, but I hope to make them interesting and gentle." Look, I'm not ready to listen to you like this, okay? "

"I can't let you tease me like this anymore, it's so unfair!" The medical student said that he wanted to remove the seriousness of this sentence, and he forced a smile.

"Remember to be a prince, speak beautifully, and don't offend me like this!"

Medical students still barely smile, spat slightly, was about to go on, the woman suddenly noticed, eyebrows slightly wrinkled, "what are you doing? Sit here. You don't have to pretend to be your prince. Come on, sit down and listen to me. I know you can't pretend to be a prince, so it's an unreliable lie to prove that you call me a princess! "

"God knows, my heart is for you ..."

The medical student was sitting next to the woman. Just before she finished, a pair of yellow butterflies flew by. The woman saw it and said, "Butterfly, butterfly, go after it!" " ..... "So I really stood up and ran after it. Butterflies go up the mountain and women go up the mountain again. The medical students were just about to catch up when the woman ran down again. After coming down, the woman said, "Come on, go over there and I'll show you how many dragons have grown on my bamboo!"! " "

Soon, both of them came to the bamboo forest in the corner of the garden. The woman counted bamboo shoots for a long time and couldn't remember the number. She said wryly, "We don't know each other, and we don't know each other ... Let's go back there!"

After the temporary accident, the medical students were a little depressed and their words were a little dull. The woman understood the reason, but pretended not to pay attention and suggested going to a small pond. When they got there, they still sat on the original stool, and the woman still reached out and held the medical student's hand as much as possible. The two chatted again, and slowly became lively again.

The woman said, "I don't think your prince can pretend, nor can a poet." It is better to lie to each other. "

The medical student said, "I'll tell you what to say." I really ... Come on. Just tell me, when you left me, how did you have a fever, a headache and thirst, how bad your memory was, how to joke in class, how to dream, ... I'm glad to hear such a lie! "

"After that, what should we do?"

"You won't go on, will you?"

"I will go on, you listen to me. I said: I can't stand being alone in the hospital! But what words and tone are used to express this pain? ..... Besides, when I remember the second week, I can see you here. I am lively. If the little lamp in my room can talk, it will tell you how ridiculous I am, how to put your photo on the table respectfully, and that … ""Come on, I know everything. In the future, you dream that I am wearing white clothes. Like Guanyin, you kneel on the dirt, kiss my skirt and kiss the ground I pass by. ..... always this! I beg you! Say something else. For example, how are you now, but don't be sentimental and don't be tongue-tied. I don't like that serious stupidity. If you want to be natural, we must all have fun! "

The medical student nodded, and the woman said, "Go ahead, consider it a lie, and I will consider it a lie. It's all a lie ! ……"

They really told a lot of exquisite and beautiful lies. Later, the medical students got bolder and told it as a lie. *

"If I say: I'm offering a sacrifice to you-no, if I say: I want you to marry me, will you promise or not?"

The woman replied easily, "If you say so, I will say so: I won't promise you."

"If I say it again: If you don't promise me, I will run and never come again!"

"If you want to leave, I will say: Since you want to leave, you can't stay. Then, prince, get on the horse. "

"So, isn't the princess lonely?"

"Why don't I feel lonely? What can you do if you want to leave? But it's not serious, you won't leave! "

"I won't go for the princess's loneliness, so I ..." "I will stay with you, listen to your praise, look at your fears and treat you as my best friend. Ask my lark these things, and it will feel that it is doing the right thing. "

"What if I die?"

"You won't die."

"Why not die? If you don't promise me or love me, I will leave you, and I will die when I arrive. "

"You won't die."

"I must die!"

The woman tilted her head to one side and didn't notice the medical student. She just said, "Why do you have to die? This can't be serious! The prince has never had such an ending! "

"Because I love you, I must die!"

"I don't forbid you to love me, but people who love me will live well in this world. Will you still love me when you die? "

The medical student sighed in a low voice. "I'm telling the truth. You don't love me. I'm leaving today." I can't have you. I don't want to see you again. "

"I am not very good with you?" The woman thought for a moment, "didn't you get me?" What do you want? I'll ask my father and I'll take you there! "

I want your love!

"I didn't say I hate you!"

"But I didn't say you love me!"

"So, if I say: If a prince really proposes to me, I won't embarrass him. Do you believe it? "

Medical students bowed their heads and dared not look up. "Don't play tricks on me, I have to go. Because I am a man! "

"Because you are a man, you have to walk, right?" The woman bit her lip with a smile, paused for a moment without saying anything, and then said softly, "But if my father has promised this and knows that this is the reason why you are here today, will he go out?"

The medical student suddenly raised his head, raised the woman's face, looked into the woman's eyes, looked for a while, and everything understood.

The woman said, "Because you are a man. In some cases, I hope you are not too stupid, you can't do it. I will neither tell nor listen to lies, my prince. Let's go for a walk. I want to hear you say something smart under that begonia tree. I hope you will repeat what you said last season. "

But when they got there, the medical students didn't say a word, just smiled and walked beside the woman, feeling the integrity of the universe. When she arrived, the woman spoke again. Her words were full of slight complaints: "Look, I knew you would have this day! I know that once it comes to a certain season, you will never compliment me again. Believe it or not, I regret what I said before now! Believe it or not, I know you really want to play dumb! ..... If I had let the prince get on the horse once before, my ears and eyes would have experienced many good things from you! ..... However, I am very surprised, why does the princess pretend not to like it? "

At the corner of the road, the medical student took the woman and kissed her silently for a long time without saying a word.

After that, they walked side by side in the corridor silently. The woman thought, "Only this is the real prince style", and the woman laughed again.
