Chapter 10: Different Lives, Different Futures

"How old is the old girl this year?" asked Xiao Han angrily.

"XVI. Since he was not familiar with the people at the table, Xiao Han was still a little shy.

"Can you drink!" Di Dan opened a bottle of beer with his teeth, and was about to hand it to Xiao Han as he spoke.

"Then drink!" Xiao Han saw the wine, and he didn't pretend to be anything, so he took it directly.

"Okay, this old girl is strong enough!" Seeing that Xiao Han was not ambiguous at all, Didan praised loudly.

"Okay! Second brother! No need! I'll just sit at the same table with Di Dan Xiaoice! Okay, okay!" The people at the table were nagging each other, and when they were familiar with their feelings, Gu Xiaolong came out of the house.

"Hey, what are you doing! Don't take me with you when you drink!" Gu Xiaolong saw that everything was drunk on the table, and quickly found a stool and sat next to the egg.

"Okay! Let's all get here! The younger brothers and sisters at this table today, as well as Xiaolong, my classmate, no matter what you say today, everyone knows each other, drink this glass of wine, we will be brothers from now on, the rivers and lakes are long, there are brothers, let's go down, do it!" Everyone at the table stood up, and when the eggs on the ground had lifted the wine, a small whirlpool shook out of everyone's wine bottle.

Talking and laughing, playing and making trouble, the sky is getting darker.

Who would have thought that today, in the food stall at the entrance of Jinbao Barbecue Restaurant, a drinker, a policeman, a street slipper, three gangsters, a woman, three boys, four junior high school students, and nine ordinary young people will set off a monstrous wave in Liuhe City in the future.

At this time in Baihua Village, a teenager in a school uniform was running to the village chief's house with tears in the moonlight.

"Knock knock! Uncle Zhuzi!" Lin Yi gasped and knocked on the door of Wang Baozhu's house.

The lights in the house turned on, and after a long while, Wang Baozhu wore a vest and a military coat and opened the door.

"Lin Yi, why did you drip in the middle of the night?" asked Wang Baozhu with sleepy eyes.

"Uncle Zhuzi!, my grandmother...... Let's go!" Lin Yi hugged Wang Baozhu's waist, choked his throat, and spoke.

"Huh?" Wang Baozhu didn't react for a while.

"Gone. Lin Yi's tears flowed down his cheeks to Wang Baozhu's vest.

"Alas, people can't be resurrected from death, don't be too sad. Wang Baozhu can't comfort people, so he can only learn to talk about it on TV.

"The people who left are gone, we have to continue to live, I will take a few people to go there tonight to keep vigil, and tomorrow morning, I will send the old lady." Wang Baozhu touched the back of Lin Yi's head and said.

"Hey, Brother Liu............"

"The third child, still playing mahjong, come to my house to have something to do..............."

"It's a bit of a problem for the village cadres to come to my house........."

"Immortal.........!

.....................

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Lin Yi's house threw a brazier, burned clothes and paper money, and several sturdy young men carried the coffin that had already been ordered into the tractor body.

Lin Yi led the way with a sail in front, passed through the village, and came to the back mountain, where the hook machine had already dug a pit, and everyone carried the coffin down and into the ground.

Because the conditions of Lin Yi's family were not good, this funeral was all simple, no banquet was held, and no "sir" was invited, and even the laborers present were all eaten at Wang Baozhu's house.

After sending everyone away, the two cleaned up the table, one old and one young, and sat on the kang with sad faces.

"Alas~" Wang Baozhu sighed, took out a pack of Hongtashan and began to smoke.

"Uncle Zhuzi, I don't want to study anymore. Lin Yi was silent for a while, and suddenly burst out with such a sentence.

"What are you doing? You study so well, what a pity if you don't study! Don't worry about money, even if the state doesn't have this policy, I'll find a way for you to let you continue to study. Wang Baozhu was also a little embarrassed in his heart, what could make a top student who loves to learn say such things.

"Uncle! I've troubled you all these years! Now I really don't want to miss it, and I can't read it anymore, the children of the poor have long been in charge, and at my age, I should also go out and find a way to make a living on my own. As Lin Yi spoke, a teardrop rolled down again.

"If you think so, Uncle can't say it, but you are such an old child, what can you do when you go out. Wang Baozhu extinguished the cigarette and said worriedly.

"Whatever you can do, just do something, don't worry about it, I have to mix up and fill my stomach!" Lin Yi wiped away his tears, his eyes were confused and empty.

"You wait. Wang Baozhu got up and climbed onto the kang, took out a black plastic bag from the quilt, counted out two thousand yuan from the bag, and took it to Lin Yi's side.

"It's not easy to be out alone! Uncle, you also know these days, you can't be patient, and you can't help much, you take these two thousand yuan. Wang Baozhu took the money and stuffed it into Lin Yi's hand.

"Uncle, I can't ask for this money!" Lin Yi began to tear up with Wang Baozhu.

"Lin Yi! Listen to uncle! A man has no money in his hands outside, absolutely not! Take it!" Wang Baozhu saw Lin Yi pushing back, his attitude became tough directly, and he stuffed the money into Lin Yi's pocket.

"Uncle!" Lin Yi hugged Wang Baozhu and began to cry loudly.

At half past seven, Lin Yi carried his luggage and got on the bus to the city under the eyes of Wang Baozhu.

Three hours after Lin Yi left.

"Third daughter-in-law, what are you going to do?" a middle-aged woman shouted to a young daughter-in-law on the village road, carrying a dirty bucket.

"Old sister-in-law Liu! I went to my eldest sister's house and asked for some carob seeds, and I thought about going back to plant some late beans. The little daughter-in-law said, carrying a plastic bag.

"Hey, have you heard? The old lady of the old Lin family was gone last night. The woman squinted her eyes to either side of the road and whispered.

"Yes! In the middle of last night, my family asked the village chief to call him, and he only came back this morning. The third daughter-in-law also whispered.

"My eldest brother Liu was sleeping yesterday, didn't you let the village chief call him away, he didn't come back until dawn, and now he is still sleeping in the house. The woman seemed to have found a topic, and the dirty bucket in her hand was placed on the ground.

"This old lady Lin has also been lying on the kang for more than 20 years, and she has also suffered a sin over the years, and it is a blessing to die. The woman smacked her lips.

"It's just that I pity that Lin Yi, I was a good child, but now I don't have a relative. The little daughter-in-law sighed, a little regretful.

"Alas~ Lin Tianci and Yang Yuxia worked outside for five or six years, and finally made some money, and wanted to take the children and the old people into the city, but there was such a thing, this game should really be better than the sky. As she spoke, the woman brought the conversation back to the accident a few years ago.

"There's no place to reason, but I heard that Tianci and Yuxia don't seem to be accidents, it seems that on the way back to the village, people were harmed, I heard that the power is big, and the village and the police have let those people be suppressed. The little daughter-in-law saw that there was no one around, and whispered in the woman's ear.

"Mom! don't dare to talk nonsense!" the woman hurriedly covered her little daughter-in-law's mouth, staring at her big eyes and hurriedly reminding.

"I'll just listen to people casually mention it, don't take it seriously. The little daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Alright, I'll go back. The woman reached out and picked up the dirty bucket, turned around and walked back into the house.

Lin Yi was still in the bus at this time, and the shaking bus made Lin Yi unable to sleep, but seeing the unfamiliar scenery outside the window, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Maybe it's fear, maybe it's confusion, maybe it's yearning, maybe it's sadness. Or maybe it was a combination of feelings, at this time Lin Yizhen wanted to let the bus drive slower and make the road longer, but his prayers had no effect.

Watching the high-rise buildings from the virtual shadow to the real, Lin Yi's heart also went from extremely nervous, and instantly relaxed, sometimes, it is not terrible to face the problem, the most frightening thing is the sense of unknown before the problem comes.

Looking at the busy streets, towering buildings, and all kinds of scientific and technological products, Lin Yi was shocked, and his eyes seemed to see the future.

Let's ask, in this huge city, will there still be no place for young people?
