Chapter 253 The chirping of cicadas in winter (1)

The shade of the trees passed over the head, the cicadas chirped tirelessly, and the sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the leaves, which was a bit dazzling.

Summer cicadas usually start chirping after noon, but now it's eight o'clock in the morning, and they have already begun their courtship.

Yes, courtship and cicada calls are the singing voice of male cicadas. The louder they sing, the more they can attract the attention of the opposite sex.

Mating is their only purpose. The lifespan of a cicada is only a few weeks. If they die within these weeks without propagating their genes, their life as a cicada will be considered a complete failure.

But is there also that kind of maverick cicada?

I don't sing for mating, I don't sing to make my life as a cicada successful, I just keep singing because I want to sing.

The singing does not exist to please the female cicada, the singing itself is for her to enjoy.

There may be some male cicadas that have been chirping since eight o'clock in the morning.

They did not follow the biological rules of chirping after the sun rose to noon. After waking up, they happily vibrated the eardrums on their abdomens.

It's not to court a mate, but to make her happy.

There must be such a maverick cicada.

Tang Xue looked at the sky, and the broken shadows of the leaves flew across her face quickly.

A gust of wind blew over, making the leaves rustle. Looking around, I saw lush green and dense bushes on both sides.

Before you know it, summer has arrived again.

"It's getting hot."

Tang Xue held her forehead, held a small umbrella in front of her forehead, and looked at the mountains in the distance.

The distance between her and the mountain is getting farther and farther, and the hazy mist on the mountain makes the mountain more and more blurry.

She was sitting on the agricultural three-wheeled shelf, which was loaded with many vegetables, cabbage, cucumbers, and eggplants. The fresh vegetables were piled in bundles. She was sitting on the edge of the shelf, with a naked puppy lying beside her.

The dog's hair is shaved for its own good. The dog's sweat glands are basically covered by thick hair and can hardly dissipate heat. The way they dissipate heat is usually to lie down in a cool place and stick out their tongues.

Heat dissipation.

Because of the rising temperature, it has been listless these days, so I shaved it to cool it down.

It seemed to have had some effect. It squinted its eyes to enjoy the morning breeze, and seemed to be planning to sleep on the bumpy shelf.

"We are about to reach a newly built road. Sit tighter and be careful not to fall!"

There was a call from ahead.

"good!"

She turned around and responded loudly so that her voice would not be drowned out by the noise of the diesel engine.

After an obvious bump, the car body became much more stable, but the speed became faster.

She closed her eyes, held the metal frame tightly with one hand, and slowly opened the other hand.

She imagined herself as a free cicada, feeling the wind flowing through her fingertips, as if it were the wind passing by her wings.

She wanted to sing, but female cicadas cannot sing. It must be much harder to be a maverick female cicada than to be a maverick male cicada.

Because female cicadas can never express their inner feelings.

Female cicadas are born mute.

In the coffee shop, Tang Xue sat alone at the window seat.

Soothing jazz tunes echoed in this dark-toned space. She turned her head and looked out the window. The transparent glass window reflected her side face and the chandelier in the hall.

Today is a rest day. There is a lot of traffic outside the window and pedestrians coming and going.

This is a newly built pedestrian street, with beverage shops, chess and card rooms, clothing stores, barber shops, and snack shops scattered on both sides of the road.

She observed the pedestrians coming and going through the window. They were all young men and women, some walking in groups and some alone.

There are very few children, most of whom cannot even walk smoothly. They are still one or two years old and are led by their parents.

The woman in casual clothes suddenly sat across from her, and her eyes shifted to the table. The rhombus-shaped cups were filled with vanilla-flavored ice cream, and the ice cream was dotted with mango chunks and chopped nuts.

The woman stuck the iron spoon into the ice cream and looked at her with a smile.

"There are 30,000 people living in this city now. Although it is only a small area, it has finally been restored to the way I remembered it."

"It's great. The newly built pedestrian street. Starting last month, food is no longer distributed by the government. It took us three years to finally open the food market. Living here is basically the same as in the past. It seems like it's gone again.

It’s back to the way it was before.”

The woman put her hands on the table and looked at the city as if she were looking at her child.

"Isn't the monthly routine test over yet?" Tang Xue looked behind the woman and saw no familiar figure, so she looked back and took a mouthful of ice cream with a spoon.

It was unexpectedly delicious. She is not a person who likes sweets, but the moment she entered her mouth, this ice cream made her feel amazing. Maybe she had not tasted it for a long time.

How long was the last time you had vanilla ice cream? I can hardly remember.

"It's over, but today we have to hand over the final eastern suburbs, so we need him to go with us later."

"Is that so? Why did you come to me at such an important time? Just to treat me to a cup of ice cream?"

"I can't help you in that kind of place. Besides, I'm also a human being. On this rare day off, I will definitely want to relax."

"Is it."

"Don't be so wary of me, it's just a little concern from a friend."

"Do you care? Speaking of which, I happen to have a puzzling question that I can't find the answer to. I used to think about it when I was in chemistry class. You are studying medicine, so you must be good at chemistry. I have a question. Anyway.

Everyone wants to find the answer.”

"You can ask any questions related to chemistry. Even at the junior high school level, even if it is the final question of the competition, I can solve it in one minute."

"That's really helpful. Teacher, tell me, are terrorists made up of two atoms of terror, or one atom of terror and an atom of terror?"

Tang Xue looked over with a serious expression.

"Please answer this question for me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight."

The atmosphere was silent, and the smile on the woman's face became stiff, as if a crow was flying overhead.

"What a headache." The woman laughed dryly: "Forget it, I surrender. I am still not suitable for this kind of work. I confessed. He came to ask me to find fault. He said he wanted to know your

My true thoughts are that I don’t want you to force yourself.”

"I didn't force myself."

"But you may have unknowingly fallen into a situation that only you don't know about? Look outside. Now it has been restored to this state. You haven't gone to college yet, right? We have a new one

A comprehensive university, the venue, and the teachers have all been prepared. After the textbooks are printed next month, open enrollment will begin. You are 21 years old this year, so there is still time."

"Besides, I am also one of the teachers. If you are not used to living in the dormitory, you can move in with me. I don't mean that you have to stay here all the time. There are rest days like today every week. Then you can

You can freely use your time, and the road has been repaired. If you want to see him, I can lend you my car."

"Think about it carefully. Now is different from three years ago. There are still many possibilities in your life. In the future, this place will definitely become more and more prosperous. Schools, hospitals, factories, entertainment facilities, and many projects are all on the way.

In order to smooth the approval process, it will be gradually established in two or three years. Have you ever thought about who you want to be? For example, a scientist, a doctor, a teacher, a flower shop owner, etc. Have you ever thought about it? What are your dreams?

You can tell me everything."

"What conditions did he give you?"

"Adults are not just interested in each other. As I said, I care about you as a friend. No matter what, you are a human being, a young woman, a young, beautiful, and smart woman.

, People have their own way of life, and it is very difficult and hard to violate this way of life."

"If a person does not follow the established way of life or live in the prescribed way, he will fail. Teacher Su, do you think so?"

"No, that's not the case. Whether it fails or not is not something others can decide. I'm just afraid that you will regret it. I'm afraid that when you regret it, some things will no longer be recovered."

"For example? Do you want to say that it will be too late to regret it when I get older?"

"I am discussing with you very seriously. He is no longer a human being. Theoretically speaking, he will not change in another 100 years. But what about you? You are 21 years old now. You have the capital to do whatever you want. But what about you?

In ten years, wrinkles will begin to appear on your face. In another twenty years, gray hairs will appear in your hair. Then in another thirty years, and in another forty years, have you ever thought about it? You become

Can you accept an old lady who has lost all her teeth, but she is still the same as before? This sense of gap "

"A creature like him has no desires that humans should have. You can't even have a child with him. Your world is different. The human world is your world. When you are young, you will feel that it is good to have love.

Yes, but it has been three years now, and you have lived with him in that state for three years, so I want to hear your true thoughts."

"Are you listening? Hey, don't ignore me and look out the window!"

Tang Xue held the cup of ice cream and took another bite of ice cream.

It's so cold. The temperature coming from the palm of your hand is ice after all. Even in such a hot summer, holding a cup filled with ice will still feel cold.

"I'm listening, listening very carefully."

She turned her head and put down the cup.
