Chapter 357: Where Have All the People Gone?
In the midst of a bump, Ye Mingxuan opened his eyes and rubbed his confused eyes.
"Master, have you arrived?"
"Mr. Ye, are you awake, are you cold, or should I close the window?"
The driver intimately turned on the roof lights, and the window was tight, only a gap was opened on the driver's side.
"It's okay, where are you now?"
The moon outside the car window was bright and the stars were scarce, and the car window was half lowered, and the cool night breeze made Ye Mingxuan wake up instantly, and he looked into the distance, the night sky in the east had turned up the white of the fish's belly, and the shadows of the upside-down trees were curling, standing on both sides of the rugged mountain road.
"Just entered the territory of Guzhang, this section of the mountain road has not been repaired, there are some bumps, you sit down!"
With the not-so-bright light, Ye Mingxuan saw clearly the master who was driving, his hair was bald a lot, and from the side of his face, the driver must have gone through vicissitudes and frosts, and his gloves were not in his hands.
"Master, how old are you?"
On the surface, Ye Mingxuan felt that the driver should be over fifty years old, which was Ye Mingxuan's guess.
"It's almost forty!"
This age made Ye Mingxuan look sideways, the driver master glanced back at Ye Mingxuan, and also let Ye Mingxuan see the driver master clearly, the vicissitudes of life can vaguely see the handsomeness of his youth, presumably it was the burden of life that made the handsome guy in the past look like this.
"Don't be so polite, we're just a little people, I'm uncomfortable with you being called me by a big star. ”
The driver master was sent by Zhang Hangxi to pick up Ye Mingxuan, and it could be seen that the driver master was not good at words, so Ye Mingxuan asked the driver master and replied.
"Master's surname?"
"Don't have your surname Zhang, you can just call me Lao Zhang!"
"Brother Zhang, do you have children?"
"Well, two children, the eldest is in high school this year, and the younger is in the second grade of elementary school, and they are daughters. ”
Speaking of the two children, Lao Zhang opened the conversation box, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
"The boss is sensible, and his grades are good, so I have a lot of peace of mind with his mother, and I am also diligent at home, helping my mother do some housework and tutoring my sister with homework. ”
"It's good, I have a sister too. ”
Thinking of the many people who went to school in the capital, the corners of Ye Mingxuan's mouth hooked up a smile, except for being naughty, everything is fine, and I miss her a lot if I don't see her for a few days.
"I know, Miss Zhang is your sister, and Duoduo, my daughter likes Duoduo very much. ”
"Brother Zhang, you can take your daughter over to play! It's about to be summer vacation, right?"
Suddenly, the body shook, and Lao Zhang didn't speak for a long time, feeling down.
Just when Ye Mingxuan thought that he had said the wrong thing and wanted to apologize, Lao Zhang opened his mouth in a dull tone.
"I can't come. ”
"It's... Why is it again? I'll pay you for the travel fee, or you can go to the capital to see the national flag raised, and I'll pay for it!"
"It's not about money, girl... She... It's just her life!"
"Brother Zhang, are you okay? If you say something, it's much better to say it!"
A forty-year-old man, suddenly in tears, what else can he have besides the pressure of life and his loved ones?
"I used to be in the fruit business, more than ten years, and I have saved a lot of money, the boss used to be stubborn but sensible, Erya's life is hard, last year's routine physical examination, found out Erya... Erya has blood cancer, and she is only eight years old!"
Lao Zhang's emotions were excited, and the body swayed for a while, but fortunately, it was ten minutes at dawn, and it was a muddy mountain road, and there were no people, even this scared Ye Mingxuan enough.
Lao Zhang also knew that he was indeed a little excited just now, but when he thought of his daughter, he was saddened and sad, and parked the car on the side of the road, Lao Zhang couldn't help but lie on the steering wheel and cry bitterly.
Ye Mingxuan hurriedly got out of the car to comfort him, and at the same time secretly hated himself for talking too much, he shouldn't ask.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, now that medicine is so developed, it can definitely be cured, if you have financial difficulties, you say, I will try my best to help you!"
Blood cancer, which is what everyone calls leukemia, is divided into two types, chronic and acute, no matter what kind of it is, the chance of early cure is still quite large, and the probability of early cure is as high as 80%, of course, the cost is really not something that an ordinary family can afford.
"I'm just sad, my girl is beautiful, lively and cute, can dance, I always thought that Erya was the best gift from God, how could she get this disease!"
"Brother Zhang, you see that medicine is so developed now, it will definitely be fine. If there is a difficulty, you say!"
This kind of burden on Lao Zhang is indeed not an easy task, crushing a middle-aged man, Lao Zhang got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and then squatted down on the side of the road, looking into the distance, and his emotions were much more restrained.
"Thank you, thank you, I'm fine, smoke a cigarette, it won't delay you, right?"
Lao Zhang wiped his red eyes and said apologetically. The job pays a lot, and he doesn't want to lose it.
"No delay, no delay. ”
"Actually, it's nothing, I just feel sorry for my daughter, you're right, my daughter is in the early stage, she has been treated for more than a year, and she can be discharged from the hospital in another month. ”
Lao Zhang's eyes burst out with a dazzling brilliance, which was hope and happiness.
"It's worth it, it's worth it, the boss is sensible, the 400,000 flowers are worth it, and Erya is almost ready, and now my kid is good to Erya." ”
"Yes, suffering can always make people grow, Lao Zhang, you are not authentic, Erya is about to recover, you should be happy, you said that if Erya sees you like this, will you be sad?"
Ye Mingxuan patted Lao Zhang's shoulder, the sky was half brighter at this time, the stars were already faintly visible, only the moon was still hanging in the sky.
Occasionally, there were a few insect chirpings around, and they quickly disappeared, accompanying Lao Zhang to watch the rising sun in the east, listening to his chattering narration, and the kung fu of a cigarette passed quickly.
After starting again, the two changed positions, Ye Mingxuan drove Lao Zhang in the co-pilot, not Lao Zhang's hypocrisy, but Lao Zhang had been driving for three consecutive hours, and if he drove again, it would be fatigue driving.
The car quickly re-drove from the dirt road to the asphalt road, and the speed of the car increased, and suddenly there was a feeling of returning to the heart, and I didn't know if I could catch Mr. Huang's breakfast?
After the next more than an hour's drive, Ye Mingxuan was stunned and drove to Wengcao Village in less than forty minutes, the small mountain village at seven o'clock was bathed in golden sunlight, the hard-working old farmers carried tools out one after another, and the women who stayed at home began to prepare breakfast.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Ye Mingxuan got out of the car, handed the key to Brother Zhang, and encouraged: "Come on, if you have any difficulties, just say it!"
"Thank you, it's gone, life is good now!"
People are big stars, you are a driver who drives, you have to be self-aware, Lao Zhang wants to understand, Ye Mingxuan said this, he is grateful, but he can't take it seriously, it's not easy for celebrities to make money.
The mushroom house was quiet, there were only sleeping little H and specimen lights in the yard, there was no one in sight, and there was no trace of Mr. Huang and Mr. He in the kitchen.
Entering the house, in the corner of the living room, the salutes of several people were properly cleaned up, neatly put aside, the coal in the small stove in the kitchen was also extinguished, and the body of the stove was touched, it was cold, obviously it must have been extinguished last night.
A large pile of uncleaned tableware in the dishwashing sink on the board was discarded here at will, Ye Mingxuan went upstairs, the door of the room was open, but there was no one inside.
"Lao Huang, sister, is there anyone?"
Ye Mingxuan stood on the balcony and shouted, quietly in the mushroom house, no one responded.
"Where?"
Ye Mingxuan shook his head, didn't bother with this, returned to the bedroom, and took advantage of the cool morning to catch up on some sleep.
