Chapter 531: The Old Man's Loyalty (Fourth Watch)
The old man did not shy away from it, and unbuttoned his pants on the side of the road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Su Yufei can't control this at the moment, she burns badly. Along the way, when Jiang Xiaobai communicated with the old man, she closed her eyes and recuperated, and she didn't say a word.
Sitting on a donkey cart, unsheltered everywhere, the wind is unimpeded. Su Yufei can't see the wind at the moment, and as soon as the wind blows her, her illness becomes even more serious.
"Mr. Su, are you okay?" Jiang Xiaobai was very worried when he saw that Su Yufei was in a state of weakness.
"I'm fine. ”
Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's voice, Su Yufei opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
The old man got into the cart and continued to drive the donkey cart and led them forward. Su Yufei sat in the car and staggered, very uncomfortable.
"Xiaobai, there seems to be a fox there, look at it. ”
Jiang Xiaobai looked along Su Yufei's fingers, but shook his head, he didn't see anything, only some shrubs.
"No, I didn't see a fox. ”
"It's strange, how did I see it?" said Su Yufei.
"Mr. Su, maybe you are dazzled. Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Probably. Su Yufei thought to herself.
Not far ahead, there is a small village on the east side of Huling Mountain, which is the destination of their trip. The village is extremely desolate, although it is still in the New Year, but there is no New Year's atmosphere in the village. The children have gone to school, and the young and strong labor force has gone out to work. Maybe only the uneaten bacon hanging under the eaves of each family still has a bit of New Year's flavor.
The donkey cart finally stopped outside a house, and this was the old man's home. He was an old bachelor, living alone, with a small courtyard and three tiled houses.
"Get out of the car. ”
The old man took out the key from his body, opened the door, and took Jiang Xiaobai and Su Yufei into the courtyard. The room was like a hole in the ice, so cold that it made your teeth shiver.
"Uncle, do you have a stove?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"Yes, but no coal. The old man said: "My family is poor and can't afford that." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "You give me the axe, and I'll chop some firewood to burn." ”
"There's an axe in the yard, find it yourself. The old man lit a pot of cigarettes, sat in the sunlight at the door, and smoked dry cigarettes.
Jiang Xiaobai found the axe placed in the corner of the wall and quickly chopped some firewood. He brought the stove over, put it in front of Su Yufei, added firewood to it, added a little soft grass under the firewood, and soon lit the firewood.
As the firewood in the furnace burns, the temperature in the room gradually rises a little. Su Yufei was very close to the stove, and the heat wrapped around her, making her feel more comfortable.
Jiang Xiaobai boiled some boiling water again, and after boiling it, he used the bowl to serve Su Yufei a cup.
"If you have a cold, drink plenty of boiled water. ”
Su Yufei was very obedient, but he didn't dislike how dirty the bowl was, and drank two bowls of warm boiled water in a row.
Jiang Xiaobai wanted to let Wu Yufei rest for a while, but after looking at the only bed in the room, he dispelled this idea. The old man lives alone, he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't know how many times a year he can wash his feet, and the quilt is full of the smell of stinky feet and the old oil on his body.
"Uncle, when will Mr. Gao come over?" Jiang Xiaobai asked, he really wanted to end the matter here as soon as possible, only in this way could Su Yufei get a real rest.
"I don't know. ”
The old man smoked a dry cigarette and didn't know anything.
Jiang Xiaobai was a little annoyed, he felt that he was being played by Gao Jianjun, and this kind of feeling of being led by the nose was not pleasant. It's really angry to think about it, that Gao Jianjun is now a dragon trapped in the shallows, and there is no need to be so used to him. But the current situation is that Jiang Xiaobai is a little difficult to ride a tiger, if he really wants him to leave now, he will not see Gao Jianjun, he is also unwilling, and he feels sorry for this thousands of miles of travel.
There was no way, he had to wait here with Su Yufei. If it weren't for Su Yufei's illness, he wouldn't have been so anxious.
"Uncle, can you help me go to town and buy some medicine and come back? My friend is sick, and you saw it. ”
"No, I can't. The old man didn't seem to think about it and rejected Jiang Xiaobai's request.
"Why are you like this!" Jiang Xiaobai's anger suddenly came up.
This old man was ordered by Gao Jianjun to watch them here and observe them. Gao Jianjun was already a frightened bird, and some people said that they wanted to buy his plant and equipment, but in the end it was turned out that it was all a lie, and it was all those creditors who were fishing for him to take the bait.
"Uncle, can you please ask someone from the village to help us buy it?"
For the sake of Su Yufei, Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to discuss with this old guy with kind words.
"Yes, what kind of medicine do you want to buy?" The old man was not a very unreasonable person.
If he really was that kind of person, he would not have taken Gao Jianjun in. More than a decade ago, he worked in Gao Jianjun's factory. At that time, he was sick, and although that disease could not kill anyone, if he wanted to cure it, he would have to spend a lot of money. He's just a part-time worker, where does he get the money to treat his illness. At that time, it was the time when Gao Jianjun was proud, and his annual profit from the source of beauty exceeded 10 million, and he was rewarded by the city.
After Gao Jianjun learned that he was sick, he immediately went to visit him, contacted the hospital and doctor for him, accompanied him throughout the process, and spent four or five hundred thousand yuan on him to cure the old man's illness.
Since then, the old man has believed that his life was given to him by Gao Jianjun, so he is loyal to Gao Jianjun. But since he got the disease, he couldn't work, and after he was cured, he couldn't continue to work, so he had to return to his hometown.
In the following years, Gao Jianjun gave him money. Of course, Gao Jianjun did this not because he cared about his employees, it was just a show. His good deeds spread far and wide and were reported by many media in the city and province. Gao Jianjun also became a sensational philanthropic figure because of this incident. It's a lot more cost-effective than donating a million at a charity fundraiser.
After Gao Jianjun was killed, he didn't know where to flee, he thought of the old man he had helped. Sure enough, a phone call came, and the old man immediately welcomed him to Huling and promised to take care of him.
Gao Jianjun's life in Huling is absolutely good in the local area, the old man buys fish and meat for him every day, and he has never been so attentive to serving his father.
Jiang Xiaobai wrote down the medicinal materials he wanted to buy on a piece of paper and handed it to the old man, along with the two hundred yuan that the paper handed over to the old man. These medicinal materials are very cheap, and you can't even use half of the two hundred yuan, and the extra part is the errand fee given by Jiang Xiaobai.
The old man left home and came back soon, and he had already asked someone to go to the town to buy medicine for Jiang Xiaobai. (To be continued.) )
