The door was closed again inside, and no movement inside could be heard through the door.
Everything is quiet.
Feng Ling stood outside the door, turned around and looked at the door.
He stood outside like this for who knows how long, until Granny Mai rushed over after hearing the news. When she saw Feng Ling standing outside the door, she immediately approached again and said, "Since the doctor is already here, you should relax first. I heard about Carrie going to the doctor just now, you...have met your friend, right?"
Feng Ling said nothing, just stood there looking at the closed door without saying a word.
Seeing her expression, Granny Mai couldn't bear it. She raised her hand and patted her back gently: "My child, since people are still alive, there is hope after all, so be patient."
Feng Ling smacked lightly, but his smile was not obvious. It was obviously just a polite response to Granny Mai, and then he continued to say nothing.
Night to dawn, dawn to noon.
Granny Mai came and left, and came back again. She prepared some food in the morning and saw that Feng Ling was still standing in the yard and did not leave. The door had not been opened again in the past few hours. Carrie and the doctor kept talking. Inside, I didn't know what was going on now, and I couldn't ask more questions. So I could only persuade Feng Ling outside to let her eat something.
Feng Ling thanked her mother-in-law, but she was really not hungry and couldn't eat.
Until the afternoon, Granny Mai came again, and she was still standing outside: "It's going to rain now. Our place is close to the desert, and it rarely rains once a year. And I think the weather is... The rain shouldn't be light, so please go back with me first, and then come back when the doctor gives you the news."
"No need, mother-in-law." Even though Feng Ling had stood outside for a long time, her legs were not so numb that she couldn't move. When she was punished in the base, it was common for her to stand all day against the weight-bearing bag. She said to Mother-in-law Mai. : "But I still have to trouble you with one thing."
"you say."
"When this door opens, your granddaughter may still not agree to let me in."
Feng Ling stopped talking, but Granny Mai quickly understood what she meant and nodded: "I will talk to her carefully. Although she is a bit angry, she has no bad intentions. I told her, she I’ll definitely listen.”
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
…
Goljing Farm is located on the edge of the desert, and all the water used for food depends on the river.
It really doesn’t rain here all year round. If it rains twice a year, it’s a blessing from God.
And this rain was indeed very heavy. According to Granny Mai, this was the heaviest rain she had experienced in the decades since she came to Goljing Farm.
Lightning flashed and thunder poured down.
There is a sound of rain. Usually when people here see it raining, they are all happy as if it is a festival.
But at this moment, although the sound of rain outside was clear, the inside of Carrie's small house was filled with the smell of medicine.
The man on the bed had been re-dressed inside and out by the doctor, and medicine had been applied to all the injuries on his body. He had slept twice after being given medicine, and after waking up, he fell asleep again within an hour. I will fall asleep because I am really exhausted, both physically and mentally. The load and consumption are too heavy.
Dr. Mona stood at the medicine stone table in the small room, patiently mixing medicine and saying in the local language: "Is it raining outside?"
Carrie said "Yeah": "It sounds like it's raining."
After Dr. Mona pondered for a moment, he looked in the direction of the closed door: "See if Miss Feng hasn't left yet. She was still outside this morning."
Carrie had no choice but to turn around and go to the door, gently open the door a crack, and look out.
I saw Feng Ling still standing in the yard. She really hadn't moved a step away from last night until now. It was raining heavily, but she was still standing there, standing upright in the rain.
Although this town is barren, the ratio of men to women is normal, and there are many women. However, Carrie has never seen such a upright woman who doesn't seem to be squeamish at all. She is obviously a young girl. At first, she stood outside, Kali Li thought she was just trying to trick her, thinking she wanted to use this method to force the person inside to feel sorry for her so that he could let her in.
But the person inside didn't say anything when he learned that she had been standing outside. He spent very little time waking up throughout the day, and his body was overwhelmed. He was always half-conscious and half-asleep, even if he knew that Feng Ling was there. Outside, I don’t even have the energy to say anything.
And this Feng Ling has been there for so long from last night to now. He hasn't eaten or drank or left. He hasn't cried or yelled outside. He's been quiet and hasn't come in to disturb him anymore. But he still insists on standing outside, taking a step. Nor has it gone far.
Even though it rained so hard, she still stood there like a tree.
She had never seen such a woman before, but she couldn't help but find it inexplicably annoying to Carrie.
After looking at it for a while, she gently closed the slightly open door, turned back and whispered to the doctor: "Still standing there, being soaked by the rain."
The man who was sleeping on the bed moved his eyelids slightly at this time, and there was no other movement in his body. He seemed to want to open his eyes, but he had no strength. It stayed like this for a long time before he finally opened his eyes, but he still couldn't see anything. He couldn't see it, and could only hear the sound of rain, lightning and thunder falling from the nearby window, as if the sky was leaking.
Feng Ling stood outside. Although it was raining heavily, he didn't feel cold.
This place is always hot at 30 degrees Celsius all year round, and it rarely rains. Although it is cool, it is not too cold.
After being soaked in the rain here for so long, Feng Ling's mind was probably soaked by the rain and he felt unusually clear-headed.
She seemed to remember such a scene.
When she returned to Feng's house, she was comatose due to stomach bleeding and high fever for two days. Later, the servant said that Li Nanheng was outside and she didn't want to see him at that time. He kept guarding her outside for a long time. He didn't force her. He said he wanted to come in and see her, but he just stood there and watched over him.
She got out of bed at that time, and when she walked to the window, she saw him standing outside.
Time flies by, and I never thought that such a day would come. Everything has been reversed. He is inside and she is outside. The man who once wanted to embrace her into his world now refuses to recognize her. Refuse to meet.
Now she finally knew what Li Nanheng was thinking while standing outside.
He just wanted to be with her, he didn't need to get anything, he just wanted to be with her.
Rain dripped down from his eyelashes and crawled over his face. Feng Ling placed his hands quietly on his legs, still looking at the house in front of him.
The rain didn't stop until it got dark again.
The door that had been closed suddenly opened. Kali walked out holding an umbrella, walked up to Feng Ling, and said angrily: "Go in, it's raining so hard, even if you don't feel cold, Being exposed to the rain all the time like this is not good for your health. Uncle Mona has already had too many patients on his hands recently, and he doesn’t want to have one more patient like you."
