Bing Xin's Prose: autumn Rain and Autumn Wind

[NextPage I]

The autumn wind is rustling, the autumn rain is dripping and dripping, and the sycamore and plantain leaves outside the window are ringing, making a very autumn meaning. Dark green curtains, hanging low. Under the light, I sat at the desk in front of the window, reading silently. A few sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the bottle on the table seemed too lonely, so they sent the fragrance to me from time to time. You want me to look up at it. And seems to smile at me and say: Bing Xin! Although outside the window is & lsquo; autumn rain autumn wind worry people & rsquo;, window inside is as warm as spring!

What I have in my hand is a wonderful piece of paper, which I picked up unwittingly after tidying up the bookcase today. I have been away from it for more than a year. Pick it up and read it tonight, it's like the joy of a reunion of old friends. See together "Magnolia slow": the old friend knows whether it is healthy or not, and after some autumn, where to meet, the remnants even listen to the geese, the setting sun and seagulls come to the end of the page, then turn to that article. Suddenly an envelope fell on the table from the page of the book. Turning over the letter, there are four words written on it: Bing Xin's pro-Kai. I don't feel like I'm stuck. Is it because of blindness? This is clearly the handwriting of Yingyun, a classmate who doesn't know the information for a long time. When was it sandwiched in this book? He opened the letter suspiciously and read it from beginning to end. After reading it, my nerves suddenly became deranged. The impression of a tragedy emerged a year ago.

Yingyun is a classmate of mine in high school. She is only two years older than me. When it comes to her morality and learning, she is really an extraordinary young man. The temperament is very lofty and lively, the ambition is also extremely ambitious. The students all say that Yingyun looks very much in line with the beautiful attitude. In my opinion, there is nothing particularly beautiful about her face and figure. However, she naturally has a kind of extraordinary abundance, which makes her look different from others.

She gets along best with me and Shuping when she is in the same class. Shu Ping is one year older than Yingyun and has a very quiet character. Although he is far less qualified than Yingyun, he works extremely hard. Therefore, he is on a par with Yingyun in his homework, but his other talents are far behind.

During the big exam in the winter the year before last, Shu Ping coughed and got hemoptysis because she repeatedly got up in the middle of the night to warm up her classes and suffered from cold. She still struggled to go to class every day, worked too hard and suffered a lot of mental damage, and her illness became more and more serious day by day. Her home is in Baoding again, no one is waiting on her day and night, and her teachers and classmates are worried about her. She was quickly moved from the dormitory to the hospital. He died in less than a week.

Every time I think about the day when Shu Ping died, it is as clear as what happened yesterday. It was sunny for a while that morning, but it became cloudy in the afternoon and there were several heavy snows. After dinner, Yingyun and I came out of the dining room and went to the court while talking. The branches and the ground were covered with snow, and his feet were like moss after the rain. Yingyun picked up a broken branch and knocked on the willow by the field. The snow on the branches fell one after another, blowing in my face with the wind. I hurriedly looked back and said: Yingyun! Don't be naughty.

She smiled and suddenly asked, are you going to see Shuping this afternoon? I said:

I'm not sure yet. If she had been better, I wouldn't have to go. Then we stopped at the same time. Yingyun said: yesterday Yaqin came back and told me that Shu Ping's illness was not good and that she could not even speak clearly. She stood in front of Shu Ping's bed. Shu Ping took her by the hand and cried for a while. You see, I stayed for a while and said, "where is the young man's foundation is stronger?" it's just that the fever is too high and just talk nonsense. Yingyun shook her head and said, the doctor said she had meningitis. It may not be easy to wish her well. I sighed and said, "if we take a holiday after school, let's go out and have a look." Then the bell rang, so we went upstairs together.

After 04:00, Yingyun and I went to the principal's office to ask for leave to see Shuping. The headmaster said nothing for a long time. After a while, he said in a very low voice, "you don't have to go. Shu Ping passed away at 07:00 this morning." This sentence seemed like a thunder on the ground, and Yingyun and I both stayed and looked at each other and could not speak. In the future, Yingyun said: headmaster! Could you give us permission to see her off? The headmaster hesitated for a moment and then said, "I heard that it has been encoffined. The doctor also said that it would be better not to go to recruit people for the disease. Their parents have also arrived." The train is leaving tonight. Yingyun said:

Now that it has been encoffined, and we have to leave soon, it is worth our time to make love with her classmate. With that, I burst into tears, and I dared not look up for a moment of sadness. The headmaster had to allow it, so we retired and went to the hospital.

The coffin stopped on the porch of the hospital. When I saw it, my heart was cold, and I believed that Shu Ping was really dead. Can this rectangular box keep this rare young man in it and never get out! There were no tears at this time, but looked at the coffin blankly. Looking up for a moment, Yingyun looked up at the sky with silent eyes and said nothing. It was not until Shu Ping's parents came out to answer the gift that we felt a burst of sadness, burst into tears, sent the coffin, and went out of the hospital. They came back listless together.

I didn't have dinner either. I took a few books alone and went back to my dormitory in the snow. The ground is white, like the moonlight. As I walked, I heard someone playing the piano in the piano room, but the tone was very sad. I thought: isn't this Yingyun? He walked slowly to the door of the piano room and listened for a while, then gently pushed the door in. Under the light, she looked back at me and looked back. I put the book on the piano table, stood for a moment, and then asked, "what score are you playing?" Yingyun, still playing the piano, replied: this tune is called lsquo; Blizzard Hero & rsquo;, is a Saxon rider who escaped from the enemy fortress in the snowy night and was badly injured. He fell on the snow in the forest and made it when he was dying.

After saying this, we remained silent for a long time. I sat on the other side of the piano chair, turning over the piano score, sighing and saying: aspiring young people should not die. Aspiring young people in China should not die. If you look at a figure like Shu Ping, she is afraid that she will not be a promising person in the women's world in the future, but she will die again. Her academic ambition has all been extinguished. It is really frustrating that she has always been prepared to hone, but has come to such an end. Yingyun slowly stopped the piano, looked up and said, "you think it's a tragic thing that the body is dead." But do not know that hope is dead, it is even more tragic! I nodded, but I didn't know what she meant. Yingyun added:

Frankness is dead, all the pain, I do not know do not feel. It is pitiful that the body is still alive, but hope is closed in the grave. That was when she bowed her head again, and tears fell on the piano. I was very surprised, because her words did not mourn Shu Ping, but she seemed to have some other feelings, so she smiled reluctantly and advised: "there you go again, good and heartbroken, all by my words." Yingyun stood up listlessly, wiped her tears and said, "I don't know why I was so upset and anxious tonight. I was supposed to play the piano to relax, but I played this miserable tune unconsciously." I put on the lid, picked up the book and said:

Let's go. Don't be too pessimistic. We walked out of the piano room together and went back to the dormitory from the snowflake gap.

Spring is coming again, and the land is full of business. Our sorrow for Shu Ping was gradually faded by the spring breeze, and we still lived happily in that school life.

The big exam in spring is over, and only when the graduation style of Class A passes, there will be a summer vacation.

The graduation ceremony was at 04:00 in the afternoon on that day. There will be another rally for teachers and students at 07:00. It is also farewell and farewell to graduates. Preparing for entertainment, etc., always means end-of-business entertainment. At 05:00 that evening, the students were chatting and playing casually on the field. Because Yingyun is going to play tonight, she is a Greek queen in the play, so she loosens her hair and curls it with a piece of paper. Afraid to come out, he hid in my room and leaned against the bed to read. I sat on the windowsill, picked the leaves of the rattan with my hand, and talked to Yingyun. Under the roses on the grass downstairs, the students sat and walked in twos and threes, the golden setting sun, capturing this red and willow-green world. But there is a group of happy and lively young people in the middle, this sunset grass can be depicted, but the happy and lively hearts of young people can not be depicted!

At the farewell party in the evening, we were all very happy and satisfied. The queen of Yingyun in the play is especially wonderful. The students all praised her with one voice, saying that she had a graceful and frightening attitude. Then Yaqin gave a farewell speech, and the graduate representative replied, and the meeting was closed. At that time, it was about nine o'clock. When I came out of the auditorium door, I saw that the moon was as bright as water, and the students were playing in the yard again. Yingyun and I sat on the steps, gossiping.

At this time a cool breeze blowing, clothes fluttering. Yingyun lifted her hair on her forehead with her hand and said with a smile: Bing Xin! You know, by this time next year, we will have graduated. I couldn't help laughing and said, "it's nothing if you graduate." Yingyun said: it's not a big deal, but it's getting closer and closer to serving the community. It's a good skill to try this exercise. I asked: do you still want to go to college after graduation? Yingyun nodded: naturally, it is not easy for high school graduates to win the respect of the society. Moreover, I am still young and inexperienced, so naturally I should further study advanced knowledge. Wouldn't it be more beneficial for me to serve the future?

Yingyun and I stood up together and walked up and down the porch talking. The shadow of roses on the porch is constantly shaken on the porch. When we walked, it seemed that the porch was moving and we were afraid to step on it, and this month came to a very complete season, and the clear light seemed to shine on us. Yingyun was very happy tonight, smiling from time to time, and asked me: are there any people in the world happier than us? I also laughed: it doesn't seem to be. Yingyun said: the happiest age is the age of hope. The greater the hope, the greater the happiness. I nodded, but thought to myself: the greater the hope, the greater the pain if you encounter setbacks.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered Shu Ping again, but I didn't dare to say it, for fear of giving up Yingyun's interest. Alas! When I think about it now, I deeply feel that I didn't say anything at that time. Because that night Yingyun smiled a smile that was the last time in my eyes.

During the summer vacation, I didn't get a half letter from Yingyun. I was very confused and blamed her a little.

On the first day of school in autumn, all the students came, and there were many new students, and the auditorium was full. When I walked into the auditorium, I looked around for Yingyun, but I couldn't find it.

I was about to ask Yaqin when Yingyun came in from the outside. Rong Guang was very thin, so I stood up and wanted to go over and talk to her. At this time, several classmates smiled and called her:

Mrs. he is here. I'm surprised. At the same time, I saw Yingyun blushing and her eyes turning red. Yaqin hurriedly winked at the classmates. They didn't know why, so they all stopped talking. As I passed slowly, Yingyun saw that I only smiled miserably and nodded, the color was even more dismayed. I dared not talk to her either. I went back to my seat and was very suspicious. After the opening ceremony, I played the yaqin and inquired about Yingyun carefully. Yachin said: I am not far from her home, so I know a little.

After the summer vacation, Yingyun returned to Tianjin and came out of the cabinet less than a week later. I heard that she was hired by her cousin Shizhi, whose uncle was a commander and the family was extremely wealthy. Yingyun went over there, and there was no one up and down without praising her. I don't know why Yingyun is so depressed. I just know that she doesn't want to be mentioned.

From then on, Yingyun seemed to be a different person, not only didn't laugh often, but also didn't say much. Sit quietly on my seat all day long, never get to the stadium, read and work, are all alone. I don't want to be with others, and my homework is not necessarily very good. The students said: Yingyun has become much more mature since he left the cabinet.

Others say: Yingyun has been slimmer recently. I think where Yingyun is mature, he is dead in his heart. Where is slim, it is simply a pin bone stand. I often feel sorry for her in my heart, but I dare not have a long conversation with her. I don't dare to ask her about her situation, for fear of touching her sadness. Therefore, there are a lot of differences with her outside, and her attitude gradually tends to be negative, but I am still positive and virtually more estranged.

A year has passed again. During the year, because Yingyun's attitude changed greatly, I also suffered a lot of losses. On the one hand, I got a lot of benefits from learning lessons. And other students, can not be like Yingyun such a bosom friend, then a lot less fun. However, I was going to graduate that year. I always had happiness and hope in my heart, and I set my eyes on the future. I didn't care about the pain at present.

Our graduation ceremony was held at 10:00 in the morning, and it was more than 12:00 after we finished. After dinner, I went to the Yachin house. There are a lot of students, also there, we are all talking and laughing together. At 03:00, it was suddenly dark, and for a moment there was lightning, and the thunder rumbled and the earthquake rang out, followed by several heavy rains. The drops of water jumped into the house, and we hurriedly closed the window, sat around and talked about the past. The rain gradually stopped at 05:00. Open the door and take a look, Rain Water next to the stadium has not retreated, was blown by the breeze, like a lake of spring water. The flowers and leaves under the tree are all green and refreshing and delicate and red by Rain Water. The setting sun came out again, the sunset glowed with color, and the air was very fresh. We all like to say:

Today's farewell party will never lose interest.

All the students arrived at the meeting. Among the graduates, there is no Yingyun.

When the chairman asked someone to invite her, Yaqin stood up and apologized for her, saying that she was not feeling well and could not attend the meeting. All the people have to do. The entertainment played that night was very interesting. The order in the meeting was also arranged neatly, and we were all extremely happy. The hall was full of laughter, but I suddenly felt my head dizzy. I think it's because there are too many people in this hall and the air is not good. Thinking about going down for a change of air, he whispered to Yaqin, "I'm a little dizzy. I'm going to evacuate for a while." wait until the graduate answers, then call me. She said yes.

I went downstairs gently.

I stood on the porch with a cool breeze blowing, and I felt much sober. Then the moonlight came out again from the gap in the clouds. Because of the weather after the rain, the moonlight seems to be doubly cold. I think of two poems: the cold moon breaks the clouds, and the girl sits in white. I can't help but get the creeps. Then suddenly I heard a sigh under the porch. I looked down at the grass mat under the roses. Sure enough, there was a secluded girl in white. I was surprised, hold the appendix dry and look again, under the moonlight, Yingyun raised her head and smiled: it doesn't matter, I'm sitting here. I settled my mind and walked down the steps. I smiled quietly and said:
