Chapter 14: A Thrilling Night 2
(Continued)
My sister doesn't seem to hear or see, as if she is in a no-man's land. Seeing that she threaded needles and threads on the wounded man's legs, as if she were sewing clothes, she calmly sewed the wound stitch by stitch. At the end of the last stitch, she tied a knot, picked up the scissors and cut the thread, and cleaned it up briefly. Then she stood up and said to the gang behind her, "Send him away quickly!" and several big men hurriedly carried the wounded out. After a loud noise, only the sound of the truck was heard, and my sister breathed a long sigh of relief.
There were blood stains all over her sister's clothes, she washed her hands quickly, cleaned up her things, and said to Li Huatong while changing her clothes: "I have seen a lot of such things in recent years." How many people didn't die that year in the mine? The locals are okay to say, someone is in charge. People from other places are miserable, and a handful of bones are buried here. Li Huatong also helped clean up, and asked: "Won't that family's family come to look for it?" My sister looked at Li Huatong and said with a wry smile: "The old brothers in the family generally don't come to look for it, most of them are daughters-in-law, crying, and they take a few dollars and leave." In these years, people are cold, and life is worthless!"
Li Huatong shook his head silently, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. The two of them packed up and went to bed, and did not speak again, perhaps really tired, and soon fell asleep.
In the distance, Li Huatong, who was asleep, still seemed to faintly hear the person's screams. It was as if I saw a small paper boat floating aimlessly on the vast sea, not knowing where it was going.
When Li Huatong woke up, it was already past eight o'clock. Hearing the sound of her sister stir-frying outside, she stretched, got up and got dressed and got out of bed.
The weather is very good, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the early morning Daishan looks beautiful and charming.
When my sister saw her coming out, she smiled and said, "Wash up, the meal will be ready soon." Li Huatong took a deep breath, took a toothbrush, toothpaste and towel to wash. While asking my sister, "I don't know what happened to that person last night?" and my sister said, "I haven't heard from him yet." ”
Generally speaking, business in the small shop is relatively light in the morning, so the two sisters can have a breakfast calmly. Because Li Huatong is going down the mountain today, my sister is doing more sumptuous than before. Ready to stop, the two of them sat down to eat. My sister kept persuading Li Huatong to eat more, and she also put a lot of eggs in her bowl.
Li Huatong put some bowls back in her and said, "Sister, you are the pillar of the family now, the old ones have to be taken care of, and the young ones have to be taken care of." You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of the family. You see you've been busy all day and you've lost a lot of weight!" My sister replied: "There's no way to do it, fortunately there is this store to support it, if you don't have this store, the family will drink the northwest wind." So, I have to manage my life well, and I can't slack off. Li Huatong stood up and put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Sister, I'll come back to help you on vacation." I think it's a lot of fun to spend on the mountain. My sister smiled and said, "Okay, my second lady is a college student, so I can come here to help, but my sister can't ask for it!"
Li Huatong packed up the dishes and chopsticks to wash the dishes, and her sister went into the store to prepare for business. There was a commotion, breaking the silence of Daishan, probably the first batch of minecarts to pull up the mountain in the morning.
Daishan started another day of excitement.
"Boss, someone is looking for you!" someone shouted. My sister poked her head out of the store and responded, "Come right away!" Li Huatong looked back and was stunned, it turned out that Xu Ruobin got out of the car. He wore a white short-sleeved shirt and gray trousers, and stood next to a dusty minecart, a man from another world.
Li Huatong ran over with a smile, took Xu Ruobin's hand, took him to his sister, and introduced him to his sister: "Sister, this is Xu Ruobin." Then he said to Xu Ruobin: "This is my sister!" The sister looked at Li Huatong with a smile and said, "This is that person, they are all chasing here!" Xu Ruobin hurriedly greeted his sister, "Hello sister, I am Xu Ruobin, I came to see Xiaotong!" The sister touched Li Huatong's hair and quipped: "I have already called Xiaotong!" Li Huatong was embarrassed to blame her sister: "Sister, don't do this!" The sister spared her, and politely asked Xu Ruobin to sit in the store, while instructing Li Huatong to pour tea for the guests.
Taking advantage of his sister's going out, Li Huatong was free, so he quickly grabbed Xu Ruobin and asked, "Why did you come here?" Xu Ruobin replied proudly: "Why didn't I come here!" Li Huatong was anxious, and continued to ask: "I'm asking how do you know I'm here?" He was still teasing her, saying, "Don't forget, I'm a policeman!" Li Huatong went up and twisted his ears and asked: "You guy, hurry up and tell me honestly!" He also played a poor mouth, and said with a flamboyant tongue, "You dare to twist the ears of the police!" while raising his hands in surrender, " Okay, I say, I say!".
It turned out that Xu Ruobin was on duty and had just one day of free time. He decided to surprise Li Huatong and come to her hometown to pick her up, and go all the way back to Sichuan with her. According to the address Li Huatong said on weekdays, Xu Ruobin found Li Huatong's hometown. His mother received him and told him that Li Huatong was helping out in the mine and would be back today. Xu Ruobin couldn't wait, so he ran to the gate of the mountain and took advantage of a minecart to go up the mountain.
Li Huatong looked at Xu Ruobin, and suddenly asked: "You're not afraid that people will deceive you!" Xu Ruobin spread his hands and said in surprise: "What do I have to deceive?" Li Huatong said: "You don't know about the black coal kiln in Shanxi? The man was tricked into working in the coal kiln, and when he died of illness, he directly dug a pit and buried it!" Xu Ruobin laughed and said, "Oh, it turns out that I still have such a use, I didn't expect it!" He thought it was funny, so he kept laughing, and then he found that Li Huatong didn't seem to be very happy, and there were tears in his eyes, he was stunned, quickly sorted out his facial expressions, and said to Li Huatong seriously: "Xiaotong, you think too much, I'm a big man, and I'm a policeman, how can I not protect myself?" Li Huatong also felt that she was thinking too much, but the scene last night made her feel that the mountain was really not a holy place, and Xu Ruobin shouldn't run to the mountain so rashly without saying hello. It's just that it's coming, so don't think about it so much. She asked again, "Have you had breakfast?" Xu Ruobin shook his head. Li Huatong glanced at him, and said angrily: "You deserve to be hungry! You look at the store here first, this is the price of the goods!" On the other hand, he got up and took a pack of noodles, eggs, ham, sausages, etc., and went out. After a while, a large bowl of steaming egg noodles was placed in front of Xu Ruobin. Xu is tossing on the road is not light, and now he is indeed hungry, Xu Ruobin picked up chopsticks and ate noodles.
