Bing Xin
He Bin is a cold-hearted young man. No one has ever seen him interact with anyone. There were many people living together in the building where he lived, but he ignored them and did not eat with them in the cafeteria. He would not say hello to them if they met by chance. When the postman came, many young people jumped happily to pick up their letters, but He Bin never got a letter. Apart from doing business in the bureau every day and talking to his colleagues on business matters; and when his landlord, Grandma Cheng, served him a meal, he also said a few usual social words, but otherwise he didn't speak.
Not only did he have no social contact with others, he also didn’t like anything that had a little bit of life in it; there wasn’t even a flower or a blade of grass in the house, and it was as cold and gloomy as a cave. The bookshelf is full of books. He walked back from the office with his head bowed, closed the door, took off his hat, and sat next to the desk. He picked up a book and looked at it unconsciously. Occasionally he felt tired, so he stood up and walked around the room a few times. , or opened the curtain to take a look, but after a while, it was closed again.
Grandma Cheng was finally someone he looked at in a different light; while she was serving the food, she would sometimes stand aside and talk to him nonchalantly, and also ask him why he was so lonely. She asked dozens of questions, and He Bin accidentally agreed to a few and said: "The world is empty and life is unconscious. People, the universe, and the gathering of all things are just like a play: it's the father and son on the stage. Mother and daughter are extremely close; they get off the stage, take off their masks, and then separate. It’s the same thing to cry, and it’s the same thing to laugh. Rather than getting involved with each other, it’s better to abandon each other; and Nietzsche said. Well, love and pity are both evils..." Grandma Cheng heard that although she didn't quite understand, she understood half of it, so she smiled and said, "If this is the case, what's the point of living in the world? "Well, why bother getting dressed and eating?" He smiled and said, "This way, you are not taking yourself and the world too seriously. Why don't you just let him go and be done with it?" Grandma Cheng continued to speak, and saw He Bin's expression. Leng Ran lowered his head and just focused on eating, not daring to speak.
This night he suddenly woke up. I could hear miserable moans from downstairs across the way. This painful sound was intermittently trembling in the silent night. Although he was not moved at all, it still kept him awake all night. The moonlight was like water, streaming in through the window screen. He thought of many things from his childhood - his loving mother, the stars in the sky, the flowers in the yard... His mind was extremely tired, and he tried his best to get rid of these thoughts, but he had no choice. All these things just came together, and it was not until dawn that I finally closed my eyes slightly.
He listened to the moans for three nights, looked at the moon for three nights, and thought about the past for three nights - he slept and ate out of order, his eye circles became dark, and his face turned pale. Occasionally, he looked in the mirror and was slightly surprised. He still did his thing mechanically every day - but in his empty mind, a late-night patient was added out of thin air.
When he got up early on the seventh day, he suddenly asked Grandma Cheng who was the patient downstairs opposite. Grandma Cheng was surprised and said: "That's the kid Lu'er who was running around in the kitchen. He went out on the street that day and broke his leg for some reason. He bought a plaster and put it on, but it still didn't work. Every night. He was the one who moaned. This child is so pitiful. He is only twelve years old. He is always very diligent and caring..." He Bin just dressed and put on his hat. He didn't seem to hear anything and walked to the door by himself. . Grandma Cheng also stopped talking, picked up the bowl, and was about to go out. He Bin slowly took out a banknote from his bag, handed it to Grandma Cheng and said, "Give it to Lu'er and ask him to ask the doctor to treat him." Treat it." After saying that, he walked away without looking back. ——When Grandma Cheng saw the huge number, she couldn't help but be shocked. It was unprecedented that Mr. He would have thoughts of compassion! She held the bowl and stood at the door, just lost in thought.
The moaning sound gradually became softer, and the moon gradually disappeared. He Bin was still hazy - his loving mother, the stars in the sky, the flowers in the yard... His mind was extremely tired, and he tried his best to get rid of these thoughts, but helplessly these things just came together.
After a few days, the moaning stopped, the night was still silent, and He Bin still fell asleep with "no dreams". The thoughts of the previous few nights were just like the dim light of the dawn moon shining on the peak of the iceberg, and they passed in a while.
Grandma Cheng and Luer came to knock on his door several times to thank him; he seemed to have forgotten, and looked up coldly, then shook his head, still Go read his books. Lu'er looked up at the door with her fat, dark face open, almost crying.
At dinner that day, He Bin told Grandma Cheng that he was going to be transferred to another bureau. He would get up the next morning and ask her to settle all the rent and food money. Grandma Cheng felt very disappointed. Such a clean guest was rare, but after all she couldn't keep him, so she hurriedly congratulated him. He nodded slightly and turned back to pack his books.
He felt very tired and fell asleep after a while. ——Suddenly I heard my door button move a few times, and then I heard someone pushing it with hands. He didn't speak or move, just lay quietly, and after a while he became silent.
The next day, he was busy all day with the door closed. Grandma Cheng wanted to help him, but he refused. He only said that he would bother her when something happened. After Grandma Cheng went downstairs, he suddenly remembered something. He forgot to buy the rope. He slowly opened the door and saw a shadow of a person. When he looked again, Lu'er was hiding behind the opposite door. He hesitated and looked around, but there was no servant, so he called out: "Lu'er, buy some ropes for me." Lu'er came over timidly, took the money happily, and flew downstairs. go.
After a while, Luer came up with a red face and panting, holding a rope in one hand and one hand behind his back, slightly revealing one or two golden stars. He handed over the rope, raised his head as if to speak, and his hand gradually came back. He Bin ignored it and walked in with the rope.
He was busy tidying up, holding hands and looking around. The house was empty. When he went to sleep, he felt extremely hot, so he got up again and opened the windows and doors. A crack, a cool breeze blowing back and forth.
"It's still very hot. My mind seems to be very messy, and the room seems too empty. - I've been tired for two days, and my daily life is naturally a little abnormal. But why do I think of the patient late at night again. - Loving... ..., I don’t want to think about it anymore, I’m very bored!”
The slight wind blew the short hair on his forehead, dried the sweat on his head, and gradually fanned him into sleep. .
White walls on all sides, the dim light of the day, and a few piles of black shadows in the corners of the room. Time passed minute by minute.
Loving mother, stars in the sky, flowers in the yard. I don’t want to think about it anymore, - bored... boring...
The black shadow spread on the roof, nothing could be seen, and the time passed minute by minute.
The wind is strong, and the wall compartment emits light. Stars danced in chaotically. Among the stars, a woman in white slowly walked in. She lifted her skirt with her right hand and pressed her forehead with her left hand. As I get closer, the fragrance will come over; I slowly lean down and look at it, silently and motionlessly - my eyes are full of love.
My nerves were numb for a moment! Get up, you can't, this is the cradle, ah! Mother, - loving mother.
Mother! I want to get up and sit in your arms, and you pick me up and sit in your arms.
Mother! We just stick with each other and never abandon each other.
Gradually he stepped back, his eyes still full of love. It was blurred, and the stars fell like rain, flying horizontally and gathering on the black shadow in the corner of the room. ——
"Mother, don't go, don't go!..."
The look of love that had been hidden for more than ten years appeared on He Bin's face again; The tears that had not been shed for years were scattered like pearls.
The fragrance is still there, and the people in white are still there. I opened my eyes slightly, surrounded by white walls, the dim light of the day, and a few dark shadows in the corner of the room, sending a refreshing fragrance. ——Just when I moved, I suddenly felt a little person walking out quietly. When I came to the door, I turned back and took a look. He is the late-night patient - Lu'er.
He Bin tried his best to sit up. There is a basket of golden flowers placed on top of the bundled books. He walked over wearing single clothes, and there was a piece of paper under the flower basket with large and horizontal characters on it. When he looked at it in the dim light, it read:
I don’t know how to repay your kindness to Mr. I looked at Mr.'s door several times, but there were no flowers on the table. ——There are some flower sellers here. Have you seen them, sir? ——I don’t know the name of the flower in this basket. I grew it myself, but it smells very fragrant. I love it the most. I think my husband must also love it. I wanted to give it to my husband a long time ago, but I never got the chance. Yesterday I heard that my husband was leaving, so I hurriedly delivered it.
I think sir, he definitely doesn’t want it. However, I have a mother who loves me and is also very grateful to my husband. Does sir have a mother? She must love Mr. In this way, my mother and my husband's mother are good friends. Therefore, the husband must collect things from the son of his mother’s friend.
Lu'er knelt down to He Bin and finished reading. Holding the flowers, she returned to the bed. All her concentration was exhausted and she couldn't help sobbing bitterly.
The fragrance is still there, but mother is gone! Inside and outside the window, only moonlight, starlight, and tears reflected each other.
When Grandma Cheng came in in the morning, she saw He Bin fully dressed, wearing his hat very low, standing in front of the window with his face turned away. Grandma Cheng smiled and asked him if he wanted snacks. He shook his head. ——The car also arrived, and the boxes were all moved down. With tears streaming down his face, He Bin silently thanked Grandma Cheng, carried a basket of flowers, and then got in the car and left.
Lu'er stood next to Grandma Cheng, with surprise on their faces. After watching the car dust go away, Grandma Cheng turned back and said to Luer: "Go and tidy up that empty room and lock the door. The key is on the door."
The room was empty. , but there was a piece of paper on the bed, which read:
Children Luer:
I want to deeply apologize to you first. My kindness is my sin. You said you wanted to repay me, but I still don’t know how I should repay you!
Your moaning late at night reminds me of many past events. The first thing is my mother. Her love can make my stagnant emotions begin to ripple. For more than ten years, I have mistakenly believed that the world is empty, life is unconscious, and love and compassion are evil virtues.
The medical money I gave you did not contain any love or mercy. It was just a rejection of your moans, a rejection of my mother, a rejection of the universe and life, a rejection of love and mercy. God! What kind of idea is this!
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you for the few words of guidance you gave me from your innocence. Children! Yes, mothers and mothers in the world are all good friends, and sons and sons in the world are also friends. They are all involved in each other and do not abandon each other.
Before you gave me the basket of flowers, my mother had already arrived. She brought your love to touch me. I will never forget your flowers and your love, and please don’t forget that your flowers and your love were brought here through your friend’s mother!
I have taken risks, I have nothing, and I have nothing to deliver to you. ——However, what accompanied me at this time were tears of repentance, half moonlight, and brilliant starlight. They are the only ones in the universe who are pure and flawless. I will use a strand of soft silk to thread the teardrops and tie them to both ends of the crescent moon. I will pick the stars from the sky and put them in the concave part of the crescent moon. Aren't they also a basket of golden flowers? Its fragrance is the appeal of a penitent person. Please accept it. Only this basket of flowers is delivered to you!
It’s dawn and I’m leaving. There is nothing else to say, I just want to thank you, little friend, goodbye! goodbye! Sons and sons in the world are all good friends, and we are always involved!
He Bincao
I wrote this long paragraph, but you may not all recognize it. However, you don’t need to understand it all, because you know much more than I do. Got it! And again.
"Where's the basket of flowers he gave me?" Lu'er looked up at the sky with his fat, dark face.
