"Girl, are you drawing?"

The old man sat on the stone mill, watched Qin Yuxi type the line drawing on the white paper, and inquired as if unintentionally:

"Life in this area is unstable, right? Do you have troops stationed here?"

When painting, Qin Yuxi, who generally doesn't like to be disturbed, paused the paintbrush in his hand, looked sideways at the old man, and said with a smile:

"I don't know, since I was sensible, nothing major has happened here? Grandpa, what do you mean by unstable life?"

There are troops stationed on the east mountain, and the local mountain people know about this, but there has never been any outsiders, and there is nothing to inquire about.

Qin Yuxi naturally refused to tell the old man that there was an army on the East Mountain.

The old man blew his beard and gestured,

"Life is unstable, for example, from time to time some foreign forces in your border region come to make trouble, and then troops come out to maintain law and order......

Qin Yuxi shook his head and replied, "No, we are very safe here." ”

Then, seeing that the grandfather had no intention of leaving, and still wanted to talk, she simply turned the page of the landscape painting in her hand, and said to the old man:

"Grandpa, why don't you sit there, just stone mill there, and I'll draw you a picture? ”

"Okay, okay!"

The old man sat directly on the stone mill, motionless, let Qin Yuxi paint, and asked tentatively:

"What if you have bad guys here?

"Grandpa, do you know that you are asking this question, very much like a spy?"

"What? Spy ???"

The old man jumped up in shock, and said angrily:

"Girl, don't talk nonsense, you will be punished!"

"So, grandpa, don't ask, maybe you'll be arrested as a spy. ”

Seeing that the old man's reaction was interesting, Qin Yuxi just laughed and continued to tease:

"Grandpa, I said, don't kill me, you said that you are such an old person, probably about 80 years old, and you still learn from people to climb the mountain at a young age, which is a very strange thing in itself, where to put it, not to arouse suspicion?"

The old man didn't speak, stretched out his somewhat withered hand, grabbed the white beard on his chin, his eyes were shining, looking at this Qin Yuxi, and after a long time, he pointed to this girl and said:

"Little girl, you are not simple, you seem to be a person who has seen the world. ”

He couldn't look at this little girl with the same eyes as he looked at the ignorant people.

In the autumn breeze, Qin Yuxi raised his eyes with a smile, looked at this old man, the pen in his hand fell, and began to type the line drawing, depicting the details of the old man's face little by little, but he suddenly wondered:

"Grandpa, how come I look more and more like a person with your outline?"

"Who?"

When the old man heard the words and asked, before Qin Yuxi could reply, outside the fence, Tuo Lingyun rushed in crying, walked in front of Qin Yuxi and wiped his tears, and cried:

"Sister Yu Xi, Sister Yu Xi, can you lend me some money?"

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Tuo Lingyun's appearance, Qin Yuxi suddenly felt strange.

Haven't this Tuo Lingyun and her grandmother Lin Dahua been in the hospital in the town, taking care of Grandpa Tuo? Why did they come back today?

"The doctor said that my grandfather's heart was found to be a problem, and he wanted to have a bypass surgery, which he couldn't do in the town, and he had to go to the imperial capital to do it, and he would have to go to the imperial capital to do it, and it would cost two or three hundred thousand yuan, which was too much, my grandmother said that it would not be cured, Sister Yuxi, can you lend me some money?"

"How can it not be cured?"

Qin Yuxi frowned, and thought about it, Grandpa Tuo is almost 50 and almost 60 years old this year, this age is actually about the same as Chen Yulian, Chen Yulian has lived to 20 years, and dragged her sick body, there is still the possibility of continuing to live, Grandpa Tuo's body is so tough, why is he not cured?

"My grandfather, my grandfather treated me very well, my parents are working outside, and the salary is less than 600 yuan a month, I, I have gone several times today, my relatives and they don't lend me money, and there is no one in our village who has money to borrow from me. ”

Tuo Lingyun cried so much that her eyes were swollen into a walnut, she was wearing old clothes that she didn't know which year, the autumn breeze was cool, everyone had already put on long sleeves, Tuo Lingyun was still dressed in short sleeves, and the T-shirt on her body was washed white, and the color had faded very lightly.

Qin Yuxi looked at her feet, wearing a pair of liberation cloth shoes, a small hole was squeezed through the toes, and soon, this pair of cloth shoes would be worn out by Tuo Lingyun as Tuo Lingyun grew.

At this time, Qin Yuxi discovered that Tuo Lingyun was full of exhaustion, she was a 13-year-old girl, she must have not slept all night last night, and she didn't know how many relatives went to borrow money overnight.

As Tuo Lingyun cried, her grandmother Lin Dahua rushed in from outside the fence, grabbed Tuo Lingyun, and dragged her home crying, shouting while dragging:

"Don't borrow money anymore, don't borrow money anymore, you borrow so much money, what will you give back to others in the future? ”

"Ah, I don't want to, I don't want to go back, Sister Yuxi, you help me, you help my grandfather, in my life, you can make cows and horses for you, Sister Yuxi......"

Tuo Lingyun screamed loudly, attracting the attention of many people in the village, her grandmother dragged her back, she sat on the ground, refused to leave, and cried for Qin Yuxi to lend her money.

But Qin Yuxi doesn't have two or three hundred thousand yuan, she can't take out such a large sum of money at present.

Moreover, to put it very realistically, there is, she lent it to Tuo Lingyun, who was only thirteen years old and had not graduated from junior high school, what did she take to repay the two or three hundred thousand?

In the courtyard, Qin Yuxi stood up, frowned, and saw that Lin Dahua was dragging Tuo Lingyun, who sat on the ground with her butt, refusing to leave.

Outside the fence, look at the lively He Chunhua, yin is not yin, yang is not yang:

"Yu Xi, you see that Lingyun is so pitiful, your family is so rich, you can borrow two or three hundred thousand to Lingyun, the grandfather is going to the imperial capital for surgery, if you don't do this operation, you will die, you can't see death without saving it." ”

Easy to say!

Qin Yuxi raised his head and glared at He Chunhua angrily, beside her, the old man sitting on the stone mill stood up, although the people here spoke in dialects, he couldn't understand it, but he also understood something.

It seems that this little girl sitting on the ground crying is asking Qin Yuxi to borrow money?

The old man was about to speak, but Qin Yuxi rushed up with an arrow, pulled up Tuo Lingyun, who was sitting on the ground crying, pushed Lin Dahua away, and said loudly:

"People are saved, but who doesn't have a hard time with the villagers? Everyone can raise funds and make up as much as they can. ”
