319 Persistence
The twilight is over, Aunt Yang is still wandering at the mouth of the alley, it's already midnight, why haven't I seen the bluegrass girl come back.
This child, is too careless, how many times have I told her, go out must ask Aunt Yang to accompany her, she ran out in the middle of the night to deliver the baby alone, how unsafe, in case of a bad person! Aunt Yang just went out and walked around the alley, telling everyone to hurry up and collect Chen Yin and hand it over, and when she came back this time, she found that the bluegrass was gone. I don't know if it was the middle-aged woman who picked it up or the little boy. Where exactly went, did not leave half a sentence.
The stars came up, blinking overhead.
"Aunt Yang, why don't you go back to sleep?" The old Li Tou next door was alarmed and rushed out to ask.
"Lancao, this girl hasn't come back yet-I'm not sure-"
"It's so late, she hasn't come back yet? Do you know where to go?"
"I don't know, she didn't leave a word before leaving!"
"It's dark and the road is far away, in case it ......," another neighbor was alarmed and came out and said.
Aunt Yang was so anxious that she rubbed her hands, "That's it, you said that this child is so careless, I will accompany me step by step, and she will run out alone if she is careless——"
"Maybe the situation is really urgent, she went to save people again. ”
"Then you have to pay attention to your own safety, you see it's all here!"
…… More and more people gathered at the mouth of the alley, and the villagers almost all ran out when they heard the voice, and some people brought wind lanterns, some people simply took a torch, and everyone talked about it one after another, and some people said that the orchid grass would be fine, and it must have gone to a village in the deep mountains and lived there at night. Some people say they can't get lost. Some people say that it is not good to walk at night in the middle of the night, in case you run into wild animals. Others said that the shopkeeper had been surprisingly quiet lately, in case they were to take advantage of the girl to walk around late at night and make a surprise attack from behind......
Aunt Yang was afraid of this, she was frightened when she heard this, she cried and wiped her tears, her eyes looked at the mouth of the alley, but she didn't see the figure of Lancao.
"The shopkeeper is insidious, I haven't seen him move during this time, which really doesn't match his personality. ”
"It's hard to say that the bluegrass girl is alone, and she is a weak woman. ”
Old man Li stood up: "It's not a way for us to wait like this. Gotta act now. In this way, we divided all the men into small teams, and the teams went to the major intersections to find them. ”
"Yes, you can see the torches at night, and if the bluegrass girl gets lost, she will rush over when she sees the firelight. ”
When it comes to action, it really takes action, and there are a few women who don't want to do it at home and rush to get involved.
The villagers were divided into five teams, separated from the mouth of the alley, and walked in different directions, shouting while holding torches as they went, all shouting the name of the bluegrass.
"Bluegrass - Bluegrass - "
"Bluegrass girl—shout when you see you—we're here—"
"Ah, where the hell are you—"
……
Lancao was panting and walking on a long, dark mountain road.
Originally, she gave birth to Feng Yulan in Shengou, and she could stay and leave the next day, but she couldn't rest assured that the pregnant woman in Tangjiakou was not at ease. They are all pregnant women who participated in the filing of her here, and the fact that people can come to file shows that they trust themselves, and if they don't rush back to deliver the baby in time, if there is a fork, how can they be happy in their hearts. So she wrapped the baby for Feng Yulan, left a pack of postpartum recuperation pills, and hurriedly said goodbye and set out on the way home.
She overestimated her walking ability too much, and she thought she would be able to return to Aunt Yang's house in time for the lights. Unexpectedly, the mountain road became longer and longer, and the soles of her feet were blistered again, and every step was like stepping on the tip of a knife, and it hurt so much.
I really want to find a place to sit down, pull my shoes off, and then lie down and sleep.
But in this wilderness, naturally you can't sleep, you don't even dare to sit down and rest, you don't have time.
I don't know what it was, but Lan Cao heard footsteps following her behind her.
The footsteps were still far away at first, and "poof-poof-" sounded.
Then it got closer and closer, as if it was approaching very quickly.
She simply trotted up, and the medicine box on her arm became so heavy that it always had to slide down, and she hung on her arm again and again, and kept running.
The footsteps followed, and she could even hear the sound of breathing.
Is it a person? or is it a ...... Wolf?
Whether it's a person or a wolf, it won't be a good idea to follow a girl like this weirdly and chase after her, so as long as you are caught, there will be no good results.
She felt like her heart was about to pop out of her mouth, and her legs were so weak that she couldn't support her body.
Run, keep running, don't stop, keep running, only in this way can you live, if you stop, it means giving up, it means death.
She regretted it a little, regretting that she had traveled so far to deliver a woman she was not very familiar with, regardless of her own safety, and that she had not charged any fees for this trip, and had voluntarily put a large bag of pills upside down.
What's the catch?
It's the tiredness of the whole way when I go, the sweat of the busyness when I give birth, and the fear at the moment!
If that's all there is, you're not worth it. It's so unworthy.
But, there is.
There is also Feng Yulan's helpless gaze full of pleading, as well as the first clear cry of the baby after slipping out of the birth canal, as well as the tears and maternal joy that flashed in Feng Yulan's tired eyes when she held the child, and the grateful gaze of the little boy when he sent her out......
Also, there is a little grandmother who taught her these skills at the same time, but also infected with her kind intentions, the little grandmother risked angering the eldest lady regardless of personal safety to deliver the baby for the unknown ninth aunt, the little grandmother saved Qiao's mother's crippled child with the courage to oppose the people of the whole Liufu, the little grandmother said, we can charge for delivery, rich people should collect more, if those poor people, if you can't accept it, don't accept it, we are all children from poor families......
That's how the little grandmother taught her, taught her all the skills without reservation, so that a lowly servant girl mastered the enviable skills, and now she can earn her own money to support herself, and has won the respect of many people.
These are the gains.
No matter how much hardship you endure and how much you are tired, it is worth it.
But little grandma, the bluegrass is too careless, this frizzy problem just can't be changed, you repeatedly told me to pay attention to safety, see I still don't remember, I forgot in a hurry, I just care about going to the delivery, and now I have put myself on the deserted road that is not in front of the village and behind the store.
Is it a man or a beast behind him, if you are a man, what are you going to do, grab it and fall to the ground, then strip it naked and then ...... No, I don't dare to think about it!
It's better to be a beast.
The beast will bite off its neck in one bite, and then little by little it will drink blood, eat meat, and gnaw bones...... It must have hurt—
She is a poor child, she has endured hardships all these years, fortunately she met a little grandmother, since she followed the little grandmother, the days have a taste, and she feels a little warmth in the world, but it is a pity that it is too short, such a beautiful day is too hurried, and it is going to end like this......
She really can't run, her eyes are full of stars, and a fire is directly in her throat, her whole body is full of fire, and the next moment she will be shattered and turned into ashes......
"Orchid-grass-"
"Bluegrass-girl-mother-"
She heard the call.
It's an illusion, right?
The gasp behind him was very clear, "poof-poof-poof-" was stuck to the back of his head, and the next moment he either grabbed or bit down on his throat......
A voice came from afar, like a ray of light in the night, shaking together, but it was very real, "Bluegrass - Bluegrass -"
She saw the firelight.
A beam of firelight.
Two bunches, three bunches...... Four beams of fire, like stars, appeared, growing bigger, brighter, clearer.
The sound is also getting clearer.
"Bluegrass—"
"Bluegrass Girl—"
"I—I'm here—" she shouted.
Her voice was hoarse.
She shouted at the top of her voice, and she was hoarse to shout, and she also wanted to pass on the news.
"I'm here—I'm here—"
She shouted as she ran as hard as she could, and her shoes fell off, so she simply ran barefoot.
Run, run.
Those women are halfway through childbirth, and suddenly they don't want to persevere, they want to give up, their eyes are shining with pleading and helplessness, at this time she always pinched their arms, pinched their people, she constantly encouraged them to persevere, as long as they held on a little longer, the front was victory.
Now she suddenly believes that if she persists for a little longer, she will have hope of life.
"Bluegrass—"
"I'm here—"
She echoed, running towards the light, and the breath behind her ears suddenly disappeared.
It's really gone.
And the torch seemed to hear her response, and flickered, running towards it.
"I'm holding on—" Lan Cao shouted, her eyes suddenly clouded with tears, her vision blurred, and she fell down as soon as she ran to the first person who ran to her.
