That afternoon, Peng Dazhuang left. The thick soldier was like a hurricane, roaring into the sky, and then suddenly left, suddenly without a trace.

In this hot season, in just one month, the impression that Peng Dazhuang left me was both unforgettable and vague. I remembered his strong body, eagerness, and tough behavior, but ignored his expression, words, and even his face without characteristics. This made me feel a sense of anxiety and confusion when I think of him in the years to come.

The night after Peng Dazhuang left, I began to worry. Now everyone knows that Yin Hong lives in the guesthouse. How can she continue to live with justice? The next day in class, I thought about it for a whole day, but still couldn't come up with a good idea.

When I got off work in the afternoon, as soon as I walked out of the cool workshop, boiling heat came to my face. I immediately felt like I had entered a large kiln. After taking a few steps, I blushed and sweated profusely. After a whole day of exposure, the sycamore trees on both sides of the asphalt road in the factory were already roasted listless, and the thin-clothed mowers walking on the road also lost their interest in laughing and fighting.

I walked through the Renmin Road, which was steaming in the heat wave, and entered the gate of the living area. A group of children on holiday ran towards me. Only they were not afraid of the heat, but were still laughing and joking freely. Through the mixed forest of cicadas, they came to the small courtyard of the guesthouse. The gate was open, and the yard was crowded with people, and a busy scene. I didn't know what happened, so I quickly took two steps and rushed into the courtyard.

Beside the water platform in front of the building, I saw Yin Hong wearing a floral dress of artificial cotton, with black hair scattered behind her, directing people to tie things up and transport things. Under the ginkgo tree, brand new chest of drawers, triple tables, sewing machines, new "phoenix" Kun car, and tied large and small bags, the large wardrobe I pulled from Xizhangzhuang also relied on the trunk behind her.

"Sister Hong, what are you doing?" I stood by the door and looked at everything in front of me in confusion.

"Ouch - Brother Wu Ping, you're back. I'm moving." Yin Hong's long eyelashes flashed for a moment, and her eyes greeted her with a smile.

"Moving? You are not living here, where are you moving?" I was surprised.

"I'm... this is moving to his cousin's house. Your elder brother Peng has left. His cousin insists that I move there. Their house is big and I can't live in it on weekdays." Yin Hong pursed her lips and explained a little embarrassedly.

"You are going to live at Director Zhao's house?" I felt a little shocked, thinking of the two brothers of the Zhao family, and the big wolf dog with grinning teeth.

"Well, Brother Wu Ping, you have taken care of me these days. Before leaving, your brother Peng, ask me to thank you very much. You... If you have time, come to my place to play in the future." In front of everyone, two red and fair cheeks appeared.

"It's okay, it's all right. I... come and help." Seeing Yin Hong's happy look, I didn't want to discourage her.

A few car horns sounded outside the door, and Yin Hong exclaimed: "The moving car is here!"

Everyone hurried out to welcome the door and saw an ambulance with a red cross printed on it, which had already driven on the path made of red bricks. Because the terrain was low and water was accumulated all year round, the path was covered with moss on weekdays. Now it was after the summer thunderstorm, and the road became even more slippery. The ambulance drove more than halfway through the rim, and the driver couldn't control the direction. The wheels slipped, and a left rear wheel got off the path, stirring up a ball of mud in the puddle.

Looking at the ambulance tilted in the woods, the adults and children who were watching the fun made a burst of gloating laughter. The relatives of the Peng family who came to help were stunned. Yin Hong was also distracted for a moment, and was so anxious that the sweat beads of beans oozed out of her forehead. I looked as the driver who got out of the car and looked helpless, turned silently back to the backyard, and moved a small steel ladder welded from the door of the distribution room where I lived, and carried it on my shoulders to the front of the small building.

"Don't be standing there, let's go push the cart together." I shouted at the relatives of the Peng family with a stern face.

Several men followed my butt and came to the ambulance that was trapped. I went down to the side of the road, stepped into the mud with moss and fishy smell, stuffed the steel ladder under the wheels and on the red brick road. The driver immediately understood what I meant and quickly got on the car and fired the engine. The men who came to help the Peng family didn't want to get down and stick to the mud on their feet, but when I saw me with a stinky face, I was standing in the mud, and hesitated and rolled up my trouser legs and rubbed behind the buttocks of the ambulance.

Yin Hong'e's eyebrows slightly condensed, standing behind the crowd, looking at my face full of gratitude. I looked at the front of the car and waved to the men who were pushing the cart: "Everyone listens to my greetings, I will shout one, two, three, let's work together!"

Under my command, the ambulance roared wildly. After several struggles, the wheel finally pulled out of the mud and drove back to the red brick path. The driver carefully drove to the front door of the courtyard. Yin Hong had already returned to the expression she had just now, standing in the crowd with her head held high, like a white swan overwintering the canal beach, circling the tribes of the Peng family relatives who were helping.

I quietly carried the steel ladder on the backyard. Because I couldn't wash it immediately, I sat on the threshold, listening to the cheers of the people and horses in the front yard, feeling indescribable depression. Sweat and mud formed armor on the skin, and I felt so uncomfortable all over. I simply went back to the house, took a shorts and a towel, secretly opened the north-facing back door, and slipped out quietly.

I walked out of the city with a smelly mud and water in the surprised eyes of passers-by, sweating profusely, and came to the canal beach where I practiced martial arts with my master. I took off all my clothes, wore only a shorts, and then pierced into the river.

The noisy world suddenly became quiet. I was like a smooth grass carp in the day, slowly sneaking in the water. The heat in my body quickly dissipated, and my mind that had been anxious gradually became clear.

When I got out of the water, I had already left the shore for dozens of meters. Not far away, there were a group of children chasing and playing in the water, with their little heads dripping from water, just like when I was playing with Ergoudan, the children who grew up by the canal seemed to be born to be flushed, and the scorching summer heat added to their fun in the water.

A small steamer pulled a string of coal-cargo ships and drove over. I quickly turned over and floated on the water. The swells that came lifted up and threw them down, just like I was swinging under the old elm tree in my childhood.

The sky is as flat as a mirror, as blue as a deep pool. I suddenly remembered a sentence Wei Jingjing once shook his head and said repeatedly when we were naughty: Zhuangzi said: If the water is not thick, then the big boat is not strong; if the wind is not thick, then the big wing is not strong. At this moment, I seemed to understand what he meant. When all dreams are shattered, all that is left to the soul and the soul is lost and hurt.
