Chapter 8 eight

The warm weather is refreshing, and everything becomes familiar from unfamiliar. There is no obvious change between spring and summer. When people are busy, they will never sigh in a hurry; the work camp has activities almost every week. However, when Lao Su and Nansen plan to improve the surrounding areas near the campus They suffered their first setback when it came to sanitation. The East China Sea is located in the deserted mountainside of Dadu Mountain. There used to be only one or two farmhouses nearby. There are thousands of teachers and students. Whether it is to buy goods or go to restaurants for dinner, they have to go to the city by car, which is very inconvenient.Therefore, some houses were built opposite the school gate one after another, all of which were half-brick and half-bamboo red-tiled houses, low and shabby, and a bit messy; But it's really cheap, and it fits the students' pockets very well, but it's a little too dirty.

The so-called dirty should include many aspects. The first is dust and sand: the wind on the mountain is strong and rattles all year round, rolling up a large amount of sand and ash, which of course inevitably falls on the exposed food; It’s like gnawing on a crispy bone; in the soup and noodles, when it’s windy, a layer of sand powder is spread in vain, and Lao Su calls it: Non-spicy pepper, a famous product of Dadu Mountain. For this natural condiment, although everyone frowned and didn't like it very much, there was nothing to criticize, because it was not added to the bowl by the owner of the shop, and he could not blame the other party.

The other kind of dirty method is different. Most students think that it is caused by the lack of hygiene knowledge and good hygiene habits of the shopkeepers. To put it crudely, dirty people cannot make clean things. Of the four guys in Room 204, except for Lao He, the remaining three are gluttons. Almost everyone has had that painful experience, so in the work camp, when it comes to improving the surrounding environment, Everyone agrees to start with the food shop first. Once, I picked three hairs out of a bowl of beef noodles!Lao Su said: To be honest, I feel a little disgusted. I said I lost the bowl and didn't eat it. I still have to spend the five yuan. I just bite the bullet and eat it, and it's really a bit of a wife!

In fact, ten out of ten of our small restaurants are dirty, the people who run the restaurants are used to it, and the people who eat it are also used to it.Xiaocui said: If you don't like it, talk about him, he will say: Miss, this is a small business, only talking about cheap and affordable, how can you pay more attention to it?You need to be clean, go to a tourist hotel!Don't be picky here.Hey, the implication is that only tourist hotels are worth talking about. I'm talking about those three hairs!Lao Su said: We can turn a blind eye or close one eye, no matter how much oil is on the table and how many bones are on the ground, at least the noodle bowl should be clean. I spent money on beef noodles. Not three hairy noodles!

Tell him with the evidence, should he have nothing to say?Lao He said: Dare to be Lao Wang again? No, this time it's Lao Liu. What do you tell him? I said: Hey, Lao Liu, come and see for yourself, there are three hairs in a bowl of noodles, how do you tell me to eat it?You know what his dude said?He said: Oh, you scholars are picky. Just pick out two hairs. The noodles are high-gluten noodles, the meat is yellow beef, and the soup is original soup. Woolen cloth?Pig hair, dare to be.He said: Beef and pig's trotters are put together and stick to each other. This happens often, and it's not unusual.I squeezed it with my hands, and it was seven or eight inches long. I said, "What kind of pig is this?"Has such long fine hair?He couldn't help it, so he said: Dabao's mother, can you comb your hair before cooking noodles?Then he turned to me and smiled and said: My wife, Caodilang, don’t make sense to her. Don’t worry, I run a serious noodle shop, not a black shop in Shizipo. It is inevitable to eat hair, but I will never eat it. Just finger!I'd rather eat pig hair!I said.

Everyone laughed helplessly but happily for a while. After laughing, they felt a little sad again. Nansen said: I was lucky to eat the hair on my head. Once I picked out a hair that was only two or three inches long and crooked. It could be classified as suspicious hair. Dare to eat! Better that kind of hair than a dead fly!Lao Gao exclaimed in an astonishingly high voice: Once, I ate a bowl of noodles, braised fly noodles, and there was a blowfly, a rice fly, and a pregnant marijuana fly in the oil flower! All right, all right, stop talking!Xiaocui hiccupped and said: Come on, I can really spit it out.

Did you protest?Nansen said. Serious protest!Lao Gao said: I put down the bowl and spit it out on the spot!God knows, I had eaten half a bowl before I realized it was a fly, because I didn't wear glasses, I thought it was green onion! Boss, is there anything else to explain?Old Su said: Hair is different from human hair and pig hair, and a fly is a fly! He didn't say it wasn't a fly, Lao Gao said: The boss went to help me and asked what was going on?I angrily pointed back at those fly corpses and said, "Look for yourself!"He looked at it, but smiled and said: It turned out to be a sharp-nosed fly, which shows how fresh my stewed beef soup is, eat the half bowl quickly, or it will be cold!

Don't be scolded!Old Su said: You are simply ruining people. How can a shop owner be such a lowly customer? Do not believe?If you don't believe me, let's go face to face!If you eat flies, he will say that his noodle soup is too fresh! My God, the big baby cried: I will never dare to eat outside the school gate again, how terrible is this?I just didn't touch it earlier, if I really did, it would take me three days to spit it out! Evasion is not an option either. Although the stuff in the welfare agency is clean, it is a pity that it is extremely expensive.We have to try to convince those people and ask them to pay attention, at least don't let us eat hairs and flies again!

For this matter, the work camp held three meetings, and the resolution was to use persuasion methods to urge them to pay attention to hygiene.Students are willing to use voluntary labor to help them.If it really doesn't make sense, Lao Su advocates using the name of all the students in the school to give them a sad Medun letter, and if they don't improve it, there will be a stop-eating campaign, so that they can't do business. Who will be the vanguard?Someone said: Fatty Old Wang's face is really ugly when straightened. The big baby immediately recommended the four generals in Room 204.

I can't.Lao Gao said: I am really afraid of eating flies and being bitten by snakes once, but I am afraid of grass ropes for ten years. Are you afraid of eating flies?Lao Su smiled and pointed at Lao Gao and said, "You think I don't know, you owe Lao Wang's noodle shop two hundred and thirty yuan, and all those noodles went to the dog's belly?"You are afraid of meeting your creditors. Where are the words!I owed money well, but all before the flies were spotted. You are nearsighted, you may have eaten a dozen flies!Nansen said: Go to convince Lao Wang, you are the most qualified, your Lao Gao is one of the victims!

Well, Lao Gao said: I really want to go, you and Lao Su are the first, and Lao He and I are the second line! The four of them took this matter very seriously, especially Nansen, who not only had a high sense of honor, but also had the confidence to win, thinking that it would be impossible for four college students to persuade a few people with low knowledge. No problem. It's funny to think about it, Lao Su said: Back then, Zhuge Liang was fighting with Confucians in Jiangdong, but now we are going to fight with Bai Ding! The group is cowardly and warlike, and Bai Ding is difficult to deal with. If they are unreasonable, we will be miserable. You don't need to build up other people's ambitions, but destroy your own prestige, okay?Nansen said: "Heaven has assigned four people a great task. They must first raise their voices, build up their vigor, capture the thief and the king, and first capture the old king!" Don't forget, the four of us represent the entire East China Sea. If we are defeated by the dirty old Wang, the reputation of the East China Sea will be compromised. Seriously, I've How has it been?Old Gao. The old man shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: It's already a bit windy and cold in Yishui!Once we get frustrated and lose our teachers and humiliate the school, why come back to see the elders of Donghai? You two are ready to witness and testify!Nansen said: In this verbal battle, you don't need four strong men, but two tiger generals are enough! Look at you, Lao Gao said: Mr. Wang of the noodle shop is a Chinese existentialist, and even Saudi Arabia and Camus are not his opponents. How could he put you two fledgling academics under his eyes? The four of them sat in the small, run-down Laowang noodle restaurant and ordered four bowls of beef noodles. Lao Su first said in a half-joking tone: Lao Wang, come four bowls of pure beef soup with non-spicy pepper, no three hairs, no flies! Old Wang ran over and wiped his oily hands with his dirty apron, maybe he wiped his dirty apron with his hands. Hearing this, he smiled nonchalantly, and turned around and called to his son: Listen, no, four bowls of pure beef soup, with hairs and flies, let's pick them out for these gentlemen first. Hey, my beef noodles should increase in price! price increase?Is beef expensive? Beef is still at the old price, I should add one yuan to the cost of picking hair and flies. Should there be hair on the face?Got flies? Not in the other places, Lao Wang replied confidently: it is an exception in a ghostly place like Dadu Mountain.Does it make sense?Let me ask you first, you ask Mao?Or ask the flies? How is Mao?What about flies? gross?My wife has alopecia, and the wind here is too strong, so it is inevitable that one or two will fall.As for flies, look, there are more flies on this table than your students in Donghai? Is the number of flies related to Dadu Mountain? Of course, it's full of rubbish, and it's sugarcane fields, it's like a nest for flies. People in the city are people, but people in the country are not people?Sanitation is emphasized in the city, and truckloads of garbage are transported to the suburbs for disposal. Is it not just one place in Taichung?The flies are a generous gift from them, we have to accept them if we don't!Newspapers often say that planes are hired to spray DDT, but only in the city, not in the suburbs. I have never seen anyone come here to kill flies. How about it?Brother Ha, Lao Gao said: Fat Boss is attacking the difficulties head-on, and I will take sociology with you! You are so interesting, fat brother, Nansen said: let's chat, let's sit down and talk. I'd rather stand.Lao Wang said. I think you like attracting flies. You see, the table is full of butter, and you don't want to wash it off. Let these flies eat their stomachs and do tricks for thousands of generations. Old Wang put on an ugly face: Take a look at other houses to see if there are more flies in their house than mine?What I sell is real yellow beef, rich in oil and fragrant in meat, you and flies are willing to come, why should I wash off the butter?Flies are the real signature of Pharaoh Beef Noodle Restaurant! This is not very hygienic, you know, the table looks like sesame cakes, and there are more flies than sesame seeds.Lao Gao interjected: Some people don't like it. Do you buy biscuits or Zhisudo?Less sesame?Since flies are sesame seeds, of course the more the better! hey i just like this me too Well, my analogy was wrong, a fly is a fly, it's a dirty thing! Well, it is not raised by me, Lao Wang still smiled and said: It turns out that I have four sons, none of them are flies!It's coming, what can I do?Can I tell the Dragon King not to rain, DDT in the second half of the month, and tell these winged offspring to die? Environmental sanitation is everyone's business, Lao Wang, let's be serious.Nansen said: Even if you can't get rid of these flies, at least don't let them go into the soup pot or noodle bowl, okay? Is it that simple?Lao Wang said: People fall down when they walk, and bump into cars when they drive. If the planes in the sky are still falling down one by one, shouldn’t there be any accidents for the flies?When I lifted the lid of the pot, the heat was comparable to the atomic bomb! Install the screen window and screen door, isn't it enough?Old Su finally got to the point. This time the fat old king stopped laughing: You young masters, do you know how to write bitter characters?How much does my thatched hut cost in total? The hole in the door can allow dogs to come in. I have the blessing of installing screen doors and windows?Some time ago, a carpenter came to solicit. I asked him to estimate the price. It would cost 6,000 yuan, and a bowl of noodles would earn 60 cents. Is there any other way?Asking us to eat fly noodles is not the answer!Nansen felt that a hard attack would not succeed, so he had to use a soft attack. In fact, it's nothing, Lao Wang said lightly: You have studied, you talk about hygiene, you keep your mouth shut, and you eat pigs, sheep, cattle and horses, can't you eat a small fly?My soup is boiled, even if there are bacteria, it will be scalded to death, what is unhygienic.It may be reasonable to say that you feel panic in your heart, but if you insist that it is unhygienic, that is not necessarily the case. I have never seen someone who ate flies and killed people, right? Talk, Brother Ha, Old Gao leaned his elbow against Nansen and said: Is it right for Big Brother Fat to ask you! right!right!my boss.Nansen admitted defeat dumbfoundingly and said: Everything you said is right, is it done?You love to raise flies, it is your freedom, we do not eat your beef noodles now, it is our freedom! Just as he was talking, four bowls of beef soup were served. Nansen didn't move his chopsticks, a beautiful golden fly landed on the edge of the noodle bowl, brushing its wings in a big way, and suddenly it flew around and fell into Nansen's noodle bowl. This gave the fat old Wang a chance to grab it, he pinched it with his fingers and said: Is it my fault?Like a plane crashing into the sea, it is impatient to live and is about to commit suicide, what can I do with it?You have freedom, I have freedom, and this little thing also has the freedom to take a hot bath in your noodle bowl! This bath, which washed the five dollars out of Nansen's pocket, also temporarily shut down the work camp, except for meetings. At the conference table, Nansen still insisted that Lao Wang was wrong. Of course, most of the classmates supported Nansen's argument.Maintaining environmental sanitation is the most basic responsibility of every citizen, and it cannot be blamed entirely on the health authorities. Lao Wang should not have this kind of misconception, although he has many difficulties in fact. In fact, our national life generally has problems. Lao Gao said: Regardless of clothing, food, housing, transportation, manners, and order, they are all chaotic, and there is more than one old king and a few restaurants.These things have to be done slowly, starting with ourselves first. If persuasion fails, I advocate an ultimatum and refuse to eat!Nansen said: "Maybe I'm emotional and can't stand simmering chicken. That's not the fundamental solution either, the big baby said: Can we think of a way to exert the infection effect that Professor Hender said?Our purpose is to help people, not to fight against them. This is really sociology!Old Su said: Although it does not count as credits. All in all, you four defeated generals are not brave enough!Xiaocui glanced at them and said, "The little fairy is not here today, Brother Ha, you should invite her to help, whether it is infection or persuasion, she is superior to others, maybe she has a way." For several days in a row, this seemingly trivial incident remained in Nansen's heart, dizzying and expanding, causing him to fall into deep thought and feel slightly depressed. In the eyes of ordinary people in society, what are we?Is it a newborn calf?Pillars of the nation?Or yellow teeth, still wet?He asked himself like this. If it is said that this setback made Nansen discouraged, that is not the case. He just paused, re-examined, and re-evaluated. In his spare time, he always indulged himself, chewing on books when he wanted to, chatting wildly when he wanted to chat, and wandering poorly when he wanted to go shopping. This time he restrained himself and sat in the library for more than ten days with peace of mind, only going down the mountain on weekends. Bought two old books and sat in Carmen once. When he woke up on Sunday, the bedroom was empty. On a particularly sunny day, the beautiful morning sun dyes the transparent glass windows, the trees and grasslands outside the window, and the golden waves of light flow here and there, as if entering a fairy tale kingdom, far and near, without knowing what there is All kinds of birds were chirping. This is really the weather that makes people want to do something. Nansen rubbed his eyes, sat up, and found that there was a note beside the pillow, the handwriting was scrawled and crooked, and it was obvious that it was left by Old Su. It read: Your Excellency, Big Lazy Pig: The clock strikes eight o'clock and still snores, not afraid of the sun drying the buttocks, Being a bachelor who doesn't know the pain is really a lazy pig! Note: Your Excellency is fattening up to be slaughtered.We will go to church too! Old Surrey Nansen read the note, crumpled it into a ball, and sat in a daze for a long time.Old Su seems to be a bit of a person who is running around, but he is really 100% optimistic, and he is never willing to be stubborn and force himself.This cannot criticize him for not being a motivated young man, he is a person who can afford it and let it go, but Nansen is the opposite of him, he can afford it but can't let it go, and he has never been able to give up some of his ideas. It's past breakfast time, I'll go to the welfare agency to fill in some things, and then go to the church to find Lao Su and the others.A fat old king can't deal with it, so how can he do worship?Do you want to invite Jesus Christ out to taste the fly noodles?The improvement plan was proposed by Lao Su, how could his boy sneak away on the way?If I'm a lazy pig, he should be a mouse! When he arrived at the welfare agency, he had already heard the sound of hymns being sung in the chapel intermittently.He really likes to listen to this slow and solemn song of praise, the organ is so soft, and the singing is full of hope, but today, his mood is heavy, and he feels irritable when he hears it. What the hell are Lao Su and Lao Gao doing?Is it okay to lose to the fat old king?Can hymns really comfort people to such an extent, resign yourself to eating fly noodles, and only say hallelujah, please forgive the old king? This question can only be explained by Meiqian. Nansen, who was not used to going into churches, walked to the door of the chapel, but still hesitated. He didn't step in, but stood outside an open window, peeking in.The planned Lu Siyi Chapel has not yet started construction, and this small church is full of people. A few rays of bright sunlight outline a quiet head. I don't know which one is Lao Gao?That is Lao Su? And the Savior Jesus hung his head down, dying, hanging on the cross behind the podium. His body was too thin and his body was exaggerated, bony, like a deep-fried dough stick that had been stretched by someone's hand.If you judge God by appearance, he is not as good as the land father in the cemetery opposite the school. Although the old guy holding a walking stick is a bit rustic, he always has a good fortune. On the contrary, the pot of flowers on the podium is really a bit of Sogetsu-ryu's technique, which is quite pleasing to the eye. The sound of the organ sounded low again, and a group of girls in large white robes stood up from the front seat and walked up to the podium in single file.Nansen recognized Dawawa and Xiaocui at a glance. The Meiqian he was looking for stood in the middle of the front row, and the sunlight from the window fell on her forehead. Looking at Meiqian up close, I only think she is handsome, but looking at her from a distance, I realize that her beauty is indescribable.The big doll is also beautiful. Her healthy red face is a little too round, and her figure is a little rough. Xiaocui, at a close look, is light and lively, full of youth. It can only be compared with Meiqian. Sunshine kissed Meiqian's forehead, her entire face was rosy and smooth, and there was a pious light in her big sunken eyes, and her short black hair was brushed back, giving off a peaceful charm, snow-white The corner of the robe is held up by the wind, and it really looks like a fairy. I remember Lao Gao said: the little fairy has a mysterious religious beauty, and only when she sings hymns can she fully appreciate her beauty. Kind of beauty. This guy, Lao Gao, just has an aesthetic vision! Nansen stared at the little fairy from the window, completely forgetting why he came to the church.The organ was playing slowly, and before the chorus began, there was always a gentle smile on the corner of Meiqian's mouth. She looked at the sunshine from the window, as if she saw the God she believed in!Really, her peaceful and joyful eyes not only have hope and waiting, but also a kind of giving, a kind of dedication, giving her wholehearted love.Her whole person glowed with a fragrant and comforting fragrance, as quiet as still water in a deep pool, as secluded as an orchid in an empty valley, the sun shining on her, as if it was not sunshine, but fairy dust sprinkled from the nine heavens. There was a very wonderful emotion, an irresistible force, pouring down like an avalanche, Nansen felt that his long-frozen heart lake melted, accompanied by a huge thawing sound from the organ. At the end of the service, there was a sound of conversation, footsteps, and the movement of wooden chairs.People walked out of Mingxian Hall, and the girls of the sacred orchestra went behind the stage to change clothes. Nansen seemed to be aware of all this, but the shadow of the little fairy and the golden sun were still sleeping on his dreamy bed. eyelids.His heart was blank and messy, he leaned against the window frame, turned towards the door where the crowd was rushing, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The rows of chairs in the church were empty, and the sunlight gradually moved from the edge of the window to the treetops, and he was still standing there numbly. Hey, Brother Ha, what are you looking at? The big baby held a Bible and gently patted him to wake him up. Then he let out an ah and smiled at the big baby: Hello, big doll. Hey, Nansen, why are you so polite today?The recent closure of work camps has caused me to gain three or four pounds. What's wrong? Losing weight is also work, Nansen said: Have you done the job that girls like you love to do most? It had been done a long time ago, and the big baby took out a small bottle containing red pills from his pocket, shook it and said, "Look, this is a weight-loss medicine that my father sent me from Australia. He wrote that it was the latest product, very Valid. Ah, as long as it is effective, you will lose weight slowly. God knows what effect!The big baby said complainingly: My father told me in the letter that after taking this medicine, I should try to eat less fat and food with too many calories, and I was only allowed to eat more fruits and vegetables. He said: Don’t Nervous, as long as I take this medicine, my appetite will be poor. Is it bad? The big baby smiled a little embarrassedly: If it’s bad, what else can I say? Every time I eat, I try to control myself not to eat too much, and I end up eating more than a dozen meals a day. God, how do you eat these dozen meals? I eat it after class, and eat it after class. The big baby said: I only eat a little bit of peanuts, a little bit of spiced tofu, tea eggs, a little bit of biscuits and cakes, and I still get fat. What do you want me to do? Hey, what you eat are all high-calorie foods, which are the opposite of the effects of the pills. After canceling each other out, there is still some leftover. How can you not gain weight!where are you going? welfare agency.The big baby spread out his hands and said with a wry smile: Don't eat, I'm hungry, what can I do? Have you seen Lao Su and the others? They have been here, and I heard that they went to find the fat old Wang again.The big baby said: It's useless to look for it. Old Wang is Jewish, so he can't install screen doors and windows anyway, unless someone installs it for him for free. What about Meiqian and Xiaocui?Nansen asked again. They left through the door there, probably going back to the dormitory!If you need to find them, I will call them for you.The big baby said: But you have to go with me until I finish eating.She spoke.After thinking for a while, he said: You should go to them first, you are not very unfamiliar, are you?Don't you think I'm doing it with radishes? She smiled and squinted, a little mysterious. Then I would rather wait for you, why are you being so funny? Not funny, really.The big baby said: Lao Gao is attacking Xiao Cui.In the girls' dormitory, it is no longer a mystery.If you really don't have a date yet, Meiqian and you are the most suitable couple. Do you think it fits well?Nansen jokingly said: You know that Meiqian was engaged.How old am I? I don't think there's anything wrong with that?The big baby said: You should still have a fair chance to compete.As far as I know, although Meiqian is very kind to the boy, she is not yet in love. You actually taught me how to win love with a knife? What kind of sour word is this?The big baby said: Love cannot be forced. Meiqian is a person, not a commodity. You can take it away, and she should have her own choice. Really, it means she has chosen! Nansen said this as if nothing had happened, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, or it could be said that he began to envy that boy.What's coming is always coming, he didn't think about it earlier, he suddenly realized that the relationship between him and Meiqian was somewhat different from when he was dating Meizhen.It was very subtle and unexplainable, even though his rationality told him: this cannot be done, but it was hard for him to resist Meiqian's attraction to him. Crossing the boulevard, crossing the wooden bridge across the dry stream, and then passing through the paths overgrown with miscellaneous trees, jumping on a square of cement bricks, approaching the round gate of the girls' dormitory. Nansen recklessly rushed in, but the big baby blocked him. This is not a whitewashed wall, and you are not Zhang Sheng. She smiled and said: "Be aggrieved, just wait outside. I'll call Meiqian out." Just wait, it's because I'm not in love that I'm strong!Nansen said: It doesn't matter if you wait a day. The big baby moved her eyes again, and said with a smile: Last year I met a boy from the chemistry department who told me the same thing. Three months later, he offered us candy: I ​​asked him what he said that day, and where did his anger go?He talked about chemical changes. Your analogy is inappropriate, Nansen said: I don't study chemistry. Well, then you are here to be proud of the mountains and rivers! The big baby laughed all the way and ran away. He stood outside the wall and waited. A group of girls came laughing, and a group of girls came laughing again. When they passed by, they all looked at Nansen, making him feel a little prickly all over. Who is this?It looks like it has fallen in! Don't you know Brother Ha I?The nickname is also called Dadushanren. Ah, do you say he is Romeo?Who is his Juliet?I think it's pitiful for him to wait alone. it's not you anyway They chatted all the way and laughed.What's annoying is that the round door blocks him, and the inside is a forbidden area for boys, otherwise, Nansen really wants to catch one or two of them and fight with them.After a while, Meiqian hadn't come out yet, and Dawawa and Xiaocui were also gone, but they were waiting for several male classmates who were waiting for someone like him.You walked over, I walked over, each other was a little unnatural, and two of them who were familiar with Nansen greeted each other and chatted up leisurely. It's really unpleasant to wait for someone here, Nansen complained: "The ladies are dressing up upstairs, we wait here, the whole figure is half shorter, it's too unreasonable." No one is forcing you to come, Brother Ha, if you have a way, you should lie in the boys' dormitory and let the girls wait for you. That is also too inhumane. Nansen said: I suggest that the dormitory for male and female students should be equipped with two intercom phones, which is convenient for each other! Will it work?Standing in a long line in the hallway with an average of one minute per person?The classmate said: You may have just started to get seasick, and you take trivial things very seriously. We, hey, have been regular visitors here for a long time! I'm not on board yet.Nansen said. I am a shipping company.The classmate said: The principal encourages us to fall in love more. I acted according to orders. I built one and sinked one. I haven't tasted the sweetness, but I have eaten a lot of bitter fruit! Is there anything more bitter than waiting here? what is this?Another said: On a rainy day, there was an umbrella on top, and the lower body was wet like falling into a river. Some girls held on to the railing, pointed at us and joked, saying they looked like some mushrooms. It's better in summer, but it's even more unbearable in winter. The cold wind blows people through, walking back and forth with hands in pockets, shoulders shrugged and shaking!Some girls intentionally torture people. They lie on the bed and read novels, and then go downstairs after finishing half of the book. They say that they want to test how hot the boys are. If they are not patient enough, they will blow it up on the spot! Oh, that sounds scary.Nansen said: If this is the case, who would dare to take the boat? us!We are Columbianism, holding the boat is the determination of life, sailing to the end, regardless of the seven winds, eight winds, typhoons, tornadoes, the boat sinks and the people do not sink, and then take the second round! The three of them laughed like they drank two dozen beers. As soon as the laughter stopped, Meiqian came out from the round door. She was wearing a gauze shirt with ruffles and a short gray skirt, as if she had just taken a bath, looking so elegant and clean. Sorry to keep you waiting, bro, she said: I was washing my hair, and I didn't expect you to come. Never mind that it is neither raining nor winter. Meiqian glanced at the boys next to her, blushing slightly and said: Let me walk with you, this is not the place for you to stand. The boys looked at each other and made ugly faces.After Meiqian and Nansen left, they babbled at their backs and said: Brother Ha, this kid can be regarded as a character. He boarded the Empress Ding Donghai from the very beginning, an unsinkable ship. What's the use of being envious?Would he ask you to be the first tube round?We are destined to stand guard at the round gate. It was almost noon, and Nansen and Meiqian walked side by side toward the upper reaches of the dry creek. Neither of them spoke, and even the silence was sweet. Lao Su went to the church in the morning, they said you were getting angry about the fat old Wang?Why don't you come to church? It's not that I'm getting emotional, it's that my emotions are bothering me.Nansen said: I don't want to criticize Fatty Pharaoh. In fact, I am concerned about our society.In our present society, there are many people who are more conservative and stubborn than Fat Pharaoh! you are right.Meiqian said: I also thought about it in the same way. Our society, in the midst of high development, has made rapid material progress, but our psychological awareness and life actions have not kept up. There is still a long way to go before the standards of modern citizens.We are more responsible because we are not Fatty Pharaoh alone Nansen agreed, but he was a little uneasy, and asked: How does society view young people?What role will we play?I often feel that I have courage but lack confidence. Faith is born of love.Meiqian said. What do you love? Love the world. Nansen turned his face strangely and looked at Meiqian who was walking beside him. Her words were short and ordinary, but he couldn't understand how many lovely places there are in this world?He is not used to facing the world with emotion, he thinks it is unscientific and unrealistic. Is this what you believe in?He said. Yes, this is also the source of my confidence. For me, standing outside the church door, it was hard for me to understand.He shook his head and said with some emotion. They walked on the red mud path, the trees gradually thickened, the green shade covered their heads, and the singing of birds was everywhere like a spring. There are some things that don't need to be understood, Meiqian said: For example, do you love Fatty Pharaoh? What is there to love about Fatty Pharaoh?That body is full of fat that smells like beef.Nansen said with a smile: We chose him in order to fulfill our responsibilities to the society. Otherwise, how would I have the energy to argue with him? Responsibility without love is too much, don't you think?If you care for the world with the same heart you care for Meizhen, it will be different.Meiqian said: I believe in religion, which is also a realm of love. Meiqian's attitude was gentle and quiet when she spoke, but there was a force that made people willing to give up their stubbornness.Meiqian used such flexible strength to explain her views and attitudes, but she said: Brother Ha, don't you laugh at me for being too naive, you are a wild person, I dare not hope to influence you. However, you have already affected me.Nansen looked at her and said. Meiqian also raised her head to look at him, with a slightly startled look in her eyes, she stopped by the side of the path, gave a soft oh, her little red lips drew a very beautiful arc. Nansen swallowed back the unspoken words in his heart. In order to break the moment of silence, he said: I think, I should learn some love! Meiqian let out a sigh, still unable to fade the flush that had just appeared on her cheeks.She is a very smart girl, who understands slight hints of words, and can read the other person's true intentions from the eyes of the other party. She regards Nansen as a close friend but does not want to go further.When she is with Nansen, she always has a sense of security. She feels that Nansen is a very tough boy with great personality. Because of his extensive reading of literature, he maintains an extraordinary sobriety and leaps from time to time. With an upward desire, he doesn't easily talk about the love between men and women, because he understands and cherishes love, and she likes to accept this plain but profound friendship. Let's go back.she says. They went to find Fatty Old Wang, but they didn't know the result?He said.He picked a small white flower and twisted it before his eyes with his fingers. In any case, the work of the work camp should be promoted. When both were calm again, she asked: How did you come to see me today?Got an addiction to climbing again? I can't explain why, since I was defeated by the fat old Wang, I feel a little sullen in my heart.He said: "I didn't expect to go climbing again.I always think that it is a pleasure to chat with you.Just standing at the door of the girls' dormitory and waiting for someone is really unpleasant. She laughed and said: You say it's not taste?But there are some guys who can't go away even if they are beaten with a stick.There was a weakling who fell in love with a female classmate unrequitedly, and the female classmate ignored him, so he waited all day, breaking the record of waiting for others. We are not in a relationship, so I feel a little wronged. Meiqian glanced at him and said humorously: Then next time I'll wait for you at the door of the boys' dormitory, and everyone will lose their bills!In this way, no one suffers. Don't dare, I'll go to church next Sunday.Nansen said. Want to go to a sermon? No.Nansen said frankly: I just want to hear you sing hymns, I love to hear your voice from the heart.Two hours ago, I was standing outside the window of the chapel listening to your hymns when suddenly I felt what do you think? Hi, Nansen said with a sigh: simply wonderful! 她鼓勵南森去愛世人，而南森心裏第一個所愛的正是美倩，他控制著他自己，不把內心的真情感用語言表露出來，他更不願破壞她眼前宵靜泰然的生活，有時候，人生會忽然露出一條通向幸福的小徑，偏又用荊棘和雜草將它掩蓋。 隱藏也是一種痛苦。he thinks. 一個人內心的隱祕，能夠久久潛藏的嗎？ 每逢星期天，南森就出現在小教堂裏，坐在最後的一排椅子上；工作營要是沒有活動，他就跟美倩去散步，爬那些滿是相思樹和野花草的山；或者到市區去，逛舊書攤，坐卡門聽音樂。 不久，他們合辦了一份文學性的期刊。 這不是愛情，卻是通向愛情小徑的階石。 這樣的生活使南森略為沉靜下來，不再像初入學時那樣急切的渴望獲得太多的東西了。他自己並沒覺察到他心理上和生活上的轉變，但這一切細微的轉變，都瞞不過老蘇的眼。 咱們二○四室，在舉行龜兔賽跑，他說：老高是烏龜，你是兔子，哈老哥，只要你不在半路上睡覺，你比他快得多。 你甭在窮扯淡了，南森說：你是什麼意思？ 我是說你跟美倩，比老高跟小翠快得多，多來迷，多來迷，你總不會是當局者迷罷！你是走馬換將，把眉珍給換下去了！ 你別忘記，美倩早訂了婚，算是名花有主。老蘇，這個敗害名譽的罪名，你可擔當不起呀！ 迷來多，少嚕囌，老蘇說：訂了婚重新談戀愛，一點也不稀奇。 我真如老高他們所說的那樣，已經跟美倩在談戀愛了嗎？南森也曾反覆的問過自己。說起來很奇怪，那種在一剎那間興起的感情並沒持續的撼動他，他跟美倩和眉珍同樣是好朋友，如果自己野性的力量是一匹馬，他想，眉珍該是一支鞭子，美倩呢？就算是一具絡頭；眉珍鞭策著他，儘量朝前奔馳，而美倩卻使他平穩甯和，不會脫韁而去。正因為他這樣想過，所以才不避任何嫌疑，和美倩坦誠的交往下去。 雜誌創刊了，南森曾把它分寄給許多他所敬慕的作家和藝術家，得到一致的好評。他不敢以內容自誇，因為大部份同學的作品，普遍缺乏廣大生活的支撐，但他和美倩都同樣的確信他們的態度是認真的，嚴肅的。 這對於他們是一種試煉。 南森看重這種朝向社會各方展射的試煉，遠超過若干死板的、了無生氣的課業。在這點上，他和老高的觀點非常接近，不過老高有一種恃才傲物的怪誕脾氣，他認為談談戀愛的收穫，也比聽那些瞌睡課要強得多。 老高，能不能替我們的刊物來一束哲學小品。南森說：老蘇已經寫了一篇蒼蠅麵和三毛考，真是一篇氣得死胖子老王的奇文，你不能讓他專美。 當然要寫，老高說：我要寫一連串的文章，題目全定妥了。 什麼樣的題目？能不能讓我們預告一下？ 兔子和烏龜。老高說：這是我要寫的第一篇，保證貨真價實。 誰是烏龜？ 老高回手指著自己的鼻子，苦笑說： 當然是區區在下了！ 這種文章也能形而上嗎？南森笑起來。 當然形而上。老高發起他的怪論來說：你想想罷，哈老哥，我們有什麼資格談腰帶以下的通俗戀愛？所謂戀愛、結婚、生子的人生三部曲？ Why not?南森反駁說：我們的生理和心理都很正常，而且是標準的男性。 沒有人把你當成陰陽人看待。老高說：我談的問題，重點不在這裏，你要弄清楚，如果你還有點兒警覺性的話，你就別無選擇，只有做烏龜！ 我還是弄不懂你的意思。 簡單得很！老高說：我們只有慢慢的來，到中年再談通俗戀愛，再談結婚，到鬍子變白，再談生兒子。 這是重點嗎？ 應該很接近了。老高這才分析說：在我們的社會上，倒下去太多有才華、有志氣的年輕人，我們不談外在的因素，單就他們本身來說，就坑在通俗戀愛上！這邊一畢業，那邊就進教堂，雲裏霧裏的，甜蜜吵鬧的小家庭，他們當然珍惜，拋開兩三年的書本追來的。不要孩子不要孩子來了一個，不要孩子不要孩子又來了一個，月薪兩人合算不足三千，買不了幾罐勒吐精和ＳＭＡ，房租、水電、服裝、烟茶現實生活磨光了你當初的凌雲壯志，使你覺得：人不自私自利一點兒就生活不下去，當然，你那時整個的人，就陷下去啦！ 嘿嘿，我懂了！南森說：這是很多獨身主義者的王牌理由，不是你的創作。我問你，老高，既然戀愛會影響你的志氣和未來事業，你大可以原地立定，何必要硬充烏龜呢？ 正如你所說，我是人，而且是標準男性啊！老高說：腰帶以下，既然是荊棘叢叢，我只好追求腰帶以上的戀愛了！ 好別緻的名詞，腰帶倒變成了楚河漢界。 詩人羅門的創作，我借來用的。 好罷，我替你這篇傑作定一個副題，叫腰帶之上，然後，把頸子伸得像長頸鹿，等著你交稿。 說是這麼說了，而老高成天的時間，都賣給他的腰帶以上去了，根本沒寫出一個字來。南森跟老蘇訴苦，老蘇咧著嘴笑說： 什麼鬼腰帶以上，老高的心，早扣到小翠的腰帶上倒是真的，你要想聽他的故事，應該說是笑話，你不妨去找大娃娃，她會說給你聽的。 當天下午，南森在福利社碰到大娃娃，剛一提這事，大娃娃就笑得前仰後合的說： 你最好去問小翠，全是她自己回寢室講出來的。 不過，她並沒真讓南森去問小翠，她自己就講了出來。據她說：老高追求小翠的方式是酸溜溜文謅謅的標準學士類型，完全不是他平時狂放怪誕的那一套。每回他去女生宿舍找小翠，小翠都故意讓他等，他竟然能打破東海歷年來等人時間最久的紀錄。 小翠出去看見他還在等，就跟他說：對不起，老高，剛剛我在看小說，誰告訴我，說有人找我，我翻個身，就把它給忘了，直到看完一本書才想到，害你久等了罷？大娃娃一面說，一面忍不住發笑：你知老高怎麼說？他說：沒關係，我正在研究卡夫卡，跟妳一樣，我竟然忘記自己是在這兒等人的了！ 接著，她說起老高的約會。 他約小翠到奧柏林中心的方坪上坐著，小翠倚在方坪一角那棵小樹上，老高坐在對面的台階上，兩個人就那樣坐著，祇是坐著，坐得小翠有些一頭霧水，她故意不講話，單看老高開不開口。 有趣極了，南森說：老高開口沒有？ No.大娃娃說：就這樣悶坐一個多鐘頭，小翠忍不住開口問說：老高，你約我出來幹什麼？老高說：不為什麼，只是曬曬太陽。小翠說：你認為曬太陽很有意思，是不是？老高笑說：當然有意義，水仙花是適合曬太陽的。小翠嘟著嘴說：還好意思講呢，一個夏天曬過來，水仙花怕早變成黑玫瑰了！老高說：翠條魚變成黑泥鰍一樣很有詩意的，不信妳去問問葉珊。小翠說：女孩子變黑了，多難看。老高說：現在最流行健康美。小翠說：我是例外，我怕曬太陽。老高說：那妳為什麼說妳畢了業要去巴西？南美洲的太陽比這裏厲害得多，妳更得練習練習。兩個人就這樣的吵起來了。 很夠東海！南森說：妳不知道，大娃娃，妳不知道這種樣的戀愛多有創意，這足夠說明，東海學生連鬧戀愛都別具風格。 天哪，這也是戀愛，小翠回來，氣得鬧胃疼，她罵老高是瘟生呢。 罪過罪過，南森說：其實老高一點兒也不瘟，他談的是形而上的戀愛，烏龜型的，只是小翠不懂得欣賞罷了。 何止是小翠不懂得欣賞？大娃娃說：連我這冷眼旁觀的，也未必欣賞得了，依我看，他們兩個，很快就會吹了。小翠是人，不是一塊透明的水晶圖章。 大娃娃這樣的幾句無心話，卻使南森想起遠在台北的眉珍來。真的，時間會使那些逐漸遠去的記憶蒙上一層塵霧，逐漸淡漠，逐漸朦朧，人在忙碌當中，很少去回首擦拭了。 自己對待眉珍，也許比老高對待小翠更淡得多，純然是由於志趣相投所產生的友誼來維繫的。如今，雖然在思想的時辰，覺得兩人並沒如何的疏遠，但在事實上，已經自然而然的疏了，遠了！這幾乎變成沒有辦法的事情。眉珍生活在她的生活環境裏，那環境是他不熟悉的，而大度山的環境，又是眉珍不能進入的，這不光是悲哀嗟嘆和其它什麼所能解決的事，在不同的人生戰場上，他和她分開，形成了各別的戰鬥。 幾個月來，眉珍的來信逐漸稀少了，也簡短到只有寥寥可數的幾個字，像你還好罷、最近忙罷之類的平常問候語。他回信更少些，總用心裏亂亂的來原宥自己，並且推說：下一封信應該寫得長些，總是一直的應該下去。 這不正應上了美倩說過的話了嗎？ 大娃娃還在說些什麼？南森呆呆的，被這種思緒捆縛著，再沒有注意聽下去，他很奇怪，在生活裏，他經常遇上很多引發人去思想，但又想不通的事情。 我大概早就是老高所說的那種烏龜了！至少不是能跑能跳的白兔，我敢說。 跟大娃娃分開後，他跟他自己說。
