Chapter Twenty-Four: Life and Death
What can I do if I take revenge, Xiao Lang's leg is lame in the end, no one helps him treat him and no one takes care of his daily life, every day in order to survive, he drags a broken leg and nests in a rotten haystack at the foot of the southwest mountain, goes to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables during the day, sleeps in the haystack at night, hangs his life half-dead, but never gives up lightly.
When Lin Qing met him in the southwest mountain, he could barely see that he was a person, thin as a handful of bones, but his broken leg was red and swollen and pus, Lin Qing was not afraid of him at that time, helped him dig wild vegetables, stole the Zhang family's food, and even the anti-inflammatory herbs of the village doctor were stolen by her, and she tried everything she had to cure people.
If you want to ask Lin Qing why, she doesn't know herself, she has to say a reason, maybe it is two hearts that are also full of holes, and they don't want to watch each other cool down.
After Xiao Lang's broken leg was swollen and his wound healed, he moved to Qinghe Bay, and found a half-collapsed house to live in.
Lin Qing's health is not good, the old Zhang family seems to be deliberately abusing her, three times a day to the southwest mountain to pick firewood, come back and feed the pigs and chickens, but only give a small half bowl of food, after the old lady is gone, she has never eaten a full meal.
Xiao Lang left half of his rations for her, but Lin Qing was stubborn, Xiao Lang had to help her carry firewood every day, and the heavy physical work did not let her get her hands, hoping that her life would be better, until the town came to recruit coal diggers, and the two suddenly fell out.
In other words, it was Lin List's fallout. She didn't allow Xiao Lang to go, but Xiao Lang smiled on the front foot and promised not to go, and the back foot directly registered, because he was lame, Xiao Lang said all the good things, and he interceded with the village chief to pass the test.
Before leaving, Lin Qing dragged his clothes and didn't go away, if he left, he would ignore him again, Xiao Lang turned his back and didn't look at her, and finally followed the coal digging team ruthlessly, and since then, except for secretly asking someone to bring Lin Qing money every month, the two have never met again.
In seventy-three years, someone sent Xiao Lang's body back to the village, and when he received his salary, he was deducted half of the money, found someone to theorize, and was beaten to death. In order to cover up, the team said that it was uneasy to operate the system and cause the coal mine to collapse, and said with a sigh that fortunately only he died.
After the corpse was returned, no one in the village suspected it, but Lin Qing didn't believe it, Xiao Lang is such a shrewd person, will he not operate the construction according to the system? Find Xiao Lang's teammates, Lin Qing knelt in front of them, and he must tell the truth, no matter whether she can ask for an explanation or not, she can't even figure out the real cause of death.
Xiao Lang's teammates saw that she was still a half-old child, so they couldn't help but soften their hearts and secretly told the truth, Lin Qing didn't say anything, and after three days of stupidity, he ran to Xiao Lang's grave and cried. After crying, Lin Qing changed, became sharp, and began to learn to resist.
The Zhang family was the first to notice Lin Qing's change, and they were afraid that she would really make a fuss regardless of her face, after all, the Zhang family still occupied the house left by the old lady, and after discussing with the family, they decided to sell her to a widower in his thirties.
Lin Qing was luckier than Xiao Lang, she had already been locked up when she overheard, and there was no big noise, she wanted to run away and tell the old village chief, but then she thought about it, what could she do, at most she would not be sold, but she still couldn't escape from the palms of the Zhang family, as long as she was still holding it in their hands, she wouldn't be able to please sooner or later. ruthless, she seized an opportunity and completely escaped from the Zhang family.
"Ah Qing, what's wrong with you?" The more Xiao Zhuzi looked at Lin Qing, the more he felt that something was wrong, his face was a little white, it was a little abnormally white, his ruddy little mouth was also bloody, and the little hand he was holding was also cold.
Lin Qing came back to his senses from the memories, forced the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It's okay, it's just a little tired." ”
"I'll carry you. Xiaozhuzi squatted down and asked Lin Qing to climb on her back.
"No, no, no! It's all at the end of the village, and you'll be home after a while. "Of course Lin Qing won't let the little bamboo carry it, a six-year-old baby carries a three-year-old baby?
Back at Sun's house, Xiaozhu's mother had already returned, and when she saw Xiaozhuzi carrying a small bamboo basket with half a basket of fresh wild vegetables, her face immediately changed, "Have you four entered the mountain?"
"Well, at the foot of the mountain, I told the milk, didn't the milk tell you?"
Xiaozhu's mother looked ugly and tightened, and entered the house without saying a word, and then, the angry voice clearly spread outside the house, "Mother, if you have any opinions, come to me! Then there is not a village near the southwest mountain, and people from four or five villages go to the mountain to hang around, can that be a place to live in peace? The eldest of the four children is only six years old, and there is no adult to follow, so you are so relieved to go down? I came back and asked you the old question, where did the child go to play? What did you say?! Whether it is one thing, it is another thing to not want the child to be good! Let's not talk about our children, I know that you are not distressed, but if the child of Aunt Lin's family has a good one in the mountains, you can watch it, Aunt Lin will tear you up, I will not come forward to stop you!"
Lin Qing and the others hid at the door and eavesdropped, Xiaozhu's mother talked in the house for a while, Grandma Sun didn't say a word, and when she saw the Xiaoju Xiaolan sisters who were hiding and playing, Lin Qing took two pieces of hard candy to coax them, "What's the matter? ”
"My aunt came back and asked Grandma, where have you been, and Grandma said that you went to find someone to play, but did not say that you went into the mountains. Xiao Ju swallowed her saliva and obediently learned the words, and Xiao Lan nodded along the side, indicating that she was telling the truth.
Lin Qing gave the candy cubes to the two sisters, drove them away, took out a few more pieces and gave them to the three sisters of Xiaozhuzi, and said bluntly to Xiaozhuzi without hesitation, "Your milk is not a good one, don't go to her in the future, maybe it will hurt you one day!"
"Mmmm, I knew my grandma didn't like me. After speaking, Xiao Zhuzi felt that something was wrong, and added: "The people in the family, except for herself, she doesn't even like my dad and second uncle very much, otherwise she wouldn't always toss them, my dad is a dead eye, always listen to my milk, fortunately my mom can lower my dad." ”
Outside the courtyard, as soon as the old lady turned around saw Lin Qing in the courtyard as soon as she entered the door, she smiled very happily, and seemed to have no worries: "Good grandson, the milk is back!"
Lin Qing happily trotted forward and hugged the old lady's legs, "Milk, why did you come back, I miss you, and I also dug wild vegetables and came back." ”
"Oh yes! Dig wild vegetables?!" The old lady was distressed, picked it up, grabbed Lin Qing's little hand and checked it carefully, but don't hurt her hand.
"Milk, it's okay, most of them were dug by Sister Xiaozhu. Milk, what about Uncle Tai?" Lin Qingwo looked back a few times in the old lady's arms, but did not see the figure of Uncle Tai.
"Your uncle stayed to help your village chief and second master keep accounts, there are only a few literate people in the village, and those who can work hard. The old lady hugged Lin Qing with a smile, and the little bamboo mother in the house came out with a smile, but Grandma Sun didn't show her face.
