Chapter 92: Transporting Peach and Saving People
I'm alone with the landlord tonight, what if something happens? Lei Xiaobo subconsciously glanced around, thinking of what Xiaoqin said when he was secretly having fun with Xie Hongfei, he was both excited and scared, and wanted to get up and walk out of the hall, locked up in his cabin, and never came out again.
The hall was very quiet, and there was no sound at all. Lei Xiaobo was even more excited and uneasy, he heard his heart beating a little fast, but Zhou Yuxiang was still so calm, looking at him with a smile and not speaking.
Lei Xiaobo desperately ate noodles and wanted to finish eating early and leave here. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his calf was burned by something hot. He let out a shocking "ah" and his body shook. He looked down and saw that Zhou Yuxiang's plump thigh was leaning on his leg, and he hurriedly dodged his left leg.
His heart pounded, he stood up with a red face, and said sneeringly, "I, I'll go back to my room and eat." With that, he turned and walked out. Before he stepped out of the house, Zhou Yuxiang's happy laughter came from behind him: "Giggles, this young man, it's so cute." ”
Lei Xiaobo went to the kitchen to eat the noodles "whirring", washed the dishes, walked into his cabin, closed the door, closed the curtains, turned on the electric fan, and sat down at the table to get busy. He turned on his laptop and finished his work on it before he lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out. He had to wait for the landlord to sleep before going to the bathroom to take a shower.
The lights in the hall were turned off, and the television was shining in the east room. Lei Xiaobo saw that the time was almost nine o'clock and he couldn't wait any longer, so he took his clothes and walked out, quickly walked through the yard, and walked into the bathroom. He closed the door and plugged in the latch from the inside before he dared to undress. After taking a shower, he put on his shorts and then his shirt and trousers before opening the door to look outside. Seeing that no one had come out outside, he walked quickly to his hut. After entering the house, he closed the door and never dared to come out again. He sat on the bed and made WeChat for a while before pulling the lamp to rest.
Not long after he fell asleep, he suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps in the courtyard outside. Rustling, ringing outside his door. He listened nervously, his heart pounding in his throat. He also had some contradictions in his heart: he hoped for a knock on the door, but he was afraid of a knock.
The footsteps stopped outside the door, and after two or three minutes, they rustled towards the hall. Lei Xiaobo breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little melancholy. He wondered how he could have such ambivalence. Slowly, he fell asleep thinking about the sweetness of Yanyan and Xiaoshan.
At six o'clock in the morning, after Lei Xiaobo got up and washed, he went out and walked towards Zhu Yafang's house. The landlord called him for breakfast behind his back, and he said, "I'm too late." "I left without looking back.
Along the way, he saw that the villagers were busy picking peaches and sorting peaches in the peach orchard. The peach orchards are full of busy peach pickers, and the happy shouts of the villagers are falling.
When I walked to Zhu Yafang's house, it was almost seven o'clock. The stretcher had been borrowed, but there were only three people carrying it, two of whom were relatives of Zhu Yafang and Meng Xuejin, and only one was a neighbor.
Zhu Yafang smacked her lips and said, "The strong laborers in the village have all gone out to work. Today, I happened to meet people who picked peaches and transported peaches, and those who had a little strength went to get busy. I had no choice but to call his nephew and my nephew to help, and there was one more person missing. ”
Meng Xiaoshi walked up and said, "I'll carry it, I can carry it." Lei Xiaobo said: "Your strength is too small, no, I'll come." Has everyone arrived?" Zhu Yafang said, "My nephew will be here soon." ”
After waiting for a while, Zhu Laifang's nephew arrived. Everyone got Lao Meng on the stretcher, and the four of them grabbed the bar of the stretcher and carried the stretcher down the mountain. Lei Xiaobo started to walk okay, but after walking a few hundred meters, he was so tired that he was out of breath and couldn't bear it. After all, he had just come out of college, he had never done gravity work, and the injury on the soles of his feet was not healed, so he was not as good as the other three young adults in the countryside.
This is different from kung fu, fighting for endurance and physical strength, not explosive power and striking skills, so Lei Xiaobo's self-defense skills in school were not effective, and he was soon so tired that he couldn't breathe, so he had to use shouting to lift his strength and reduce fatigue.
"Ouch-" He took a step and shouted, gritting his teeth. After a while, he broke out in a profuse sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Meng Xiaoshi, who was trotting after them, saw that Lei Xiaobo was so tired that he staggered, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him carry it together. After walking a kilometer, Lei Xiaobo couldn't run anymore, so he shouted: "Stop and rest for a while." ”
Everyone gently put the stretcher on the ground, rested for a while, and then lifted it up and walked forward. Later, everyone shouted in unison and struggled forward. The frequency of rest is getting higher and higher, and you have to take a break after walking one or two hundred meters. So five or six kilometers of road, a full hour and a half walked.
There was no way to accompany them, but there was a huge team of villagers transporting peaches. Men and women, young and old, are using various tools to deliver peaches to the intersection in front of them. Some of them carried it on a flat pole, some on a wheelbarrow, some on baskets, and some on their backs. Like the people who supported the front line during the war in the past, the endless stream of peach transport crowds made people look at it, full of emotion, and a little excited.
Guo Fengping, Sun Xiaoying, Wang Nenglong and other village cadres, riding scooters and motorcycles, commanded the prime of life along the way, greeted the elderly, and helped the children. At this time, at the intersection of County Road 319, two vehicles carrying peaches and an ambulance arrived.
The peaches were sold to beverage factories, so Jiao Weijuan did not pack them in small packages, but packed them in large wooden boxes and stacked them neatly in trucks. Jiao Weijuan and Zhang Xiaomin watched Lu Yi's endless peach delivery team by the side of the car, with excited smiles on their faces.
At nearly ten o'clock, Lei Xiaobo and the other four carried Lao Meng to the intersection. The two doctors who were waiting there helped them carry Lao Meng into the ambulance, and Lei Xiaobo also sat in the ambulance and followed him to the hospital because he had to pay the money.
When he arrived at the hospital, Lei Xiaobo jumped up and down, examined Lao Meng, went through hospitalization procedures, and arranged a ward. In the end, he comforted Lao Meng before saying goodbye to Zhu Yafang and Meng Xiaoshi. Zhu Yafang looked at Lei Xiaobo's tired and sweaty and soaked appearance, and was speechless with gratitude. Meng Xiaoshi had tears in his eyes, and said something that made Lei Xiaobo warm: "Uncle Lei, I want to learn from you, grow up, and be a good person like you." ”
When Lei Xiaobo walked out of the hospital, it was already twelve and a half past noon. There was 20,000 yuan less in his bank card, but his heart felt unusually full. He hurriedly ate a bowl of rice bowls on the street, and hurried to the village.
In order to help the villagers sell peaches well, Lei Xiaobo did not hesitate to spend more than 100 yuan to return to the village. Fortunately, if you take the bus back to the village, it will be late. Because less than half an hour after he came to the intersection of County 319 Road, Xie Hongfei arrived with another peach merchant.
