Chapter 57: A Long Journey

Ah Xiang's father, Lao Han, left the village with his wife, they wanted to go outside, taking their son's school as the goal of their long journey, and the simple villagers reluctantly saw them off, and the old couple calculated that they would only have 200 yuan as their last entanglement, and they could not move unless it was an emergency.

Slowly moving along the railway line, two staggering figures stepped on the vast earth, and the setting sun cast afterglow. A pair of dusty hands held the gurgling stream and drank it all, begging along the street hungrily, along the way, with a rustic atmosphere to a strange city, high-rise buildings, reinforced concrete jungles, neat asphalt roads, handsome men and beautiful women, bright lights.

The wife said curiously to the old man: "There are too many fresh things in this city, you can eat whatever you want?" It's like I don't want money. Do you think we don't need money to take it?"

The old man smiled slightly, and said teasingly: "You old woman, you think beautifully, are you hungry again? People can swipe their faces to settle the bill, the bank card tied to the real-name system, automatically deducted, how can you not have money, isn't that a robbery?"

The old man trembled and took out the one-yuan coin from the broken bowl just now, bought a baked cake, and watched his wife eat it with relish. Don't forget to tell your wife to slow down and don't choke. His belly growled, and he thought to himself, if you endure it again, you can carry it for a while. It's not easy to ask for money.

In fact, there are many people in these cities who have the same profession as them. These begging actors change their tricks, incorporating fresh ideas and ideas into their careers, and some wear their arms in their clothes with only two empty sleeves to pretend to be crippled. Some brought Panasonic subwoofers and microphones to the street to show off their singing voices. Others let their companions lie upright on the side of the road and pretend to be dead, and take a porcelain bowl and beg for help. There are many ways to do this. Some simply print out their QR code and put it next to the broken porcelain bowl to prevent people from refusing to pay on the grounds that they have no change.

There are too many places that insult people's IQ in this city, and there are really people who take people as fools. Beggars don't want to think about whether the beggars who can afford to buy stereos, have mobile phones and online banking believe that they are real or fake. However, the old man and his wife do not need to be carefully dressed, nor do they need to deliberately cover up. Completely primitive, there is no scientific and technological content at all, but it is easy for people to sympathize and pity.

The business of this old couple is really hot, which makes the peers jealous. The fake beggars began to rob. The old man and his wife are old, where are their opponents, they are uprooted from their hometowns, and they are not familiar with life, where do they dare to cause trouble. I had to shoot a shot and change places to engage in guerrillas.

At night, when the wind was blowing tightly, the old man took off his shabby coat and wrapped it around his wife, shivering from the cold. How to spend a long, cold night? Still an old man is clever, and he finds an incomparably warm and comfortable little home.

The ATM huts are clean and tidy, with warm tiles glowing brightly and galvanized sliding doors tightly closed. There will be voice prompts on the electronic screen from time to time. Although it was a little noisy, the two pairs of tired and sleepy eyes had already closed involuntarily, and they slept until dawn.

The old man woke up from his sleep, and the people who withdrew the money looked at the two ragged old men with strange eyes, and even more, pointed with their fingers, and said to their children: "You know why you study hard? This is the end of not studying well." Stay away from them, and beware of lice and fleas!"

People leave in a hurry after taking the money, like a mouse seeing a cat, lest they hide from it. In the old man's mind, the heaviest weight is not Ah Xiang, but his beloved wife, who has been poor with him since he was young, has children, and inherits the lineage. Dirty work is tiring and rushing to do it, and when it comes, I have to follow myself for a hundred years and live a life without a fixed place. Thinking about it, the old man is sad. He hurriedly got up and looked at his wife next to him. I saw my wife lying peacefully on the bright tiles, motionless, her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and the old man subconsciously pushed it with his wrinkled old hand, but there was no response. Then he shouted his wife's name and pushed hard a few more times, but there was still no response. The old man quickly came to the front of his wife, and approached his wife's nose with his hand, and the wife was cold and had already died. The old man howled hoarsely: "Help, dead, help, dead." ”

Early in the morning, when most people are still lingering in their dreams, the moon is under the moon. The master has already withstood the first rays of sunshine in the morning, out of the house, today's business task is still heavy, remembering that his career is still in its infancy, accumulating customers is the key, just came to the insurance company, she needs to use her hard work to prove her status as a newcomer in this industry. She needs to deposit some premiums for her clients in advance so that she can serve her clients in an all-round way. Just came to the door of the ATM, only to hear an old man shouting hoarsely for help, she subconsciously thought it was a gangster robbery. Looking through the window, an old man in rags cried over an old woman who was also dressed in shabby. She quickly pushed open the sliding door and said to the old man, "Uncle, what's wrong?

The old man hurriedly knelt down for the master and knocked his head with a bang. He also said loudly: "Save my wife, I beg you, save her!"

The master hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed the emergency number. In a short time, a white van glowed with a dazzling blue light, and the sound of rapid and hysterical music resounded throughout the street, breaking the silence of the early morning. The angels in white and the doctors quickly came to the corpse with a stretcher and a pacemaker, and the pacemaker pressed the corpse's chest. There was no movement for 10 minutes. The doctor and nurse shook their heads helplessly, saying that it was too late and there was no way to recover.

The old man cried to death, the deceased was parked in the morgue of the hospital, and the accumulation of various expenses made it difficult for the old man, he took out the precious 200 yuan to entangle, and the huge amount of property that he and his wife promised to come out at a critical moment finally came in handy at this moment. The old man fell to his knees and told his story, and the master and the doctor all wept secretly after hearing this, and were very sympathetic to the plight of the old man's family.

The master was soft-hearted, she couldn't see the difficulties of others, and said to the doctor: "I will pay for this fee, and the people will park in the morgue first, and I will go to the school for the uncle to find his son, so that the uncle's son and the dead mother can meet for the last time." Then take care of the aftermath. ”

The doctors said: "In this way, our hospital also mobilized employees to donate to the uncle's family in order to help them tide over the difficulties." ”

Listening to everyone's earnest words, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears, and his gratitude was overflowing. Although the weather outside the window is cold, the old man's heart is covered by everyone, not to mention how warm it is!
