Chapter 191: Leprosy Island
Bai Ke only knew the experience of Zheng Yaozu in the first half of his life, but he didn't know that he had been buried alive on Leprosy Island in the second half of his life.
Comradeship-in-arms is the most ironclad and basic friendship.
Qin Yongmei is not an unkind person.
After listening to the father and son's spittle Xingzi Flying Around, she agreed.
"Just meet on the shore, don't shake hands!"
After receiving approval, Bai Ce immediately sent a telegram to Zheng Yaozu.
It was agreed to visit him in two days.
Qianguan is not close to the county seat, and it is almost to the side of Luda.
But the drive was fine, two hours away.
Bai Ce wanted to bring too many things to his old comrades.
But the Isuzu pickup is also a bit bigger.
If you want to bring anything, you can't bring anything.
Finally, the white customer made a row in the warehouse of the trading house.
It was found that there were five more black and white TVs, so they were all loaded into the car.
As for the rest, Bai Ke gave a passbook and let Lao Zheng Dada buy it himself.
Feng Qin drove off early in the morning in a pickup truck.
Two hours later, they arrived in Qianguan Town.
According to the agreement, Zheng Yaozu was waiting for a few of them at the gate of the post office in the town.
After Feng Qin parked the car aside, Bai Ce hurriedly got out of the car and searched around.
But he looked at it for a long time and didn't find his comrades.
In the midst of confusion, a peasant-like figure suddenly walked over.
"White Staff! White Staff!" he shouted.
It seems that Zheng Yaozu has changed too much, so big that Bai Ce can't recognize it.
And Bai Ce's change was relatively small, so Zheng Yaozu recognized it at a glance.
However, Bai Ke was a little surprised on the side.
He originally thought that Zheng Dada was a leper, but now he looks like a normal person.
The gloved hands are also clearly not prosthetics.
A pair of old comrades-in-arms who had not seen each other for 20 years were pleasantly surprised.
I watched from afar, and my eyes were shining with tears.
But Zheng Yaozu still deliberately kept his distance, and he refused to even stretch out his hand.
Bai Ce rushed over and hugged Zheng Yaozu in his arms.
Slap your back vigorously.
Zheng Yaozu raised his gloved hand and gently raised and fell.
Bai Ce usually looks very tepid.
In fact, he is a very affectionate person.
Although Qin Yongmei repeatedly told her, she was not even allowed to shake her hands.
But in the face of his comrades-in-arms and brothers, how can he manage this.
Back then, when Zheng Yaozu was released from prison, he was just in time to engage in martial arts all over the country.
Schools are closed, factories are closed.
Everywhere there was a paralyzed scene.
Zheng Yaozu can't find a receiving unit at all.
In the end, it was his old superiors who helped him to work in the infectious disease hospital.
At first, I was trembling.
But after working for a while, I realized that it was not so exaggerated at all.
As long as protective measures are in place, infectious disease hospitals are safer than outside.
The rebels and young revolutionaries saw that they were all hiding from afar.
After a long time, Zheng Yaozu liked this feeling of living in isolation.
After the fight ended, the infectious disease hospital became lively again.
Instead, he was at a loss.
Later, the infectious disease hospital sent people to work on Leprosy Island.
Zheng Yaozu took the initiative to sign up.
In the beginning, there were two other healthy people on the island.
Later, both of them left one after another and lived a normal life.
Only Zheng Yaozu stayed.
A pair of comrades-in-arms greeted each other for a while.
Bai Ce pointed behind him: "This is my son." ”
Zheng Yaozu exclaimed: "Have you grown so tall, boss?"
"Where, the smallest. I'm a grandfather now. ”
"Okay!" Zheng Yaozu admired.
Bai Ce remembered something: "Brother Yao, haven't you been married all these years?"
Zheng Yaozu sighed: "Let's be like this, how can a woman dare to marry." Still, it's good. The stripes come and go without worry!hahahaha!"
Bai Ce also laughed awkwardly for a while, and then pointed to the car behind him: "Let's go!" ”
When he came to the car, Zheng Yaozu was not in a hurry to get into the car, but stroked the body and admired: "This car is really good, right?"
Bai Ke nodded and pointed to the TV set in the car: "Dada, this is for you." ”
"Don't!don't!" Zheng Yaozu waved his hand in fright, "This is too precious!"
Bai Ce said: "It doesn't matter, my son started business when he was a teenager, and he has money. Come on, let's get in the car. ”
Zheng Yaozu sighed: "Okay." However, I still have something here, so carry it for me. ”
Zheng Yaozu walked to the corner next to the post office, and after a while, he came out with a flat pole.
Two huge packages hung from each end of the pole.
It doesn't look light, and it's all pressed into an arc.
Bai Ce and Bai Ke wanted to help in the past.
He waved his hand lightly: "It's out of the way." ”
kept coming to the car, without waiting for Bai Ce and Bai Ke to help carry it.
He flicked his shoulders and put the two packages in the body.
Although this old Zheng Da looked wrinkled, he was stronger than the pampered Han Sheng and Bai Ce.
The car was walking on the road, and Bai Ce also said: "I have been wanting to come and see you with my crooked neck all these years, but you always won't let me, you say you, alas!"
Zheng Yaozu sighed: "Although it has long been said that it is not contagious. But it was not until the past year that the medical staff in the provincial capital checked more than a dozen times in a row before they were completely determined. ”
"Then why do you always wear gloves?"
"I'm used to it, and besides, the common people can't understand it. When they saw them coming down from the island, they fled from afar. ”
As he spoke, Zheng Yaozu took off his gloves.
Perhaps because he wears gloves all year round, his hands are unusually white.
"We don't lack anything on the island, just all kinds of daily necessities. In recent years, the market economy has been invigorated, and the situation has been much better. In the early years, it was really difficult! Supply and marketing cooperatives and cooperatives refused to sell anything to us. ”
Zheng Yaozu is an able-bodied person on the island, and he naturally becomes a special envoy for leprosy patients and communication with the outside world.
Every day, I pick up a large load of the island's specialties and go ashore, sell them cheaply to profiteers (so the profiteers dare to collect them), and then buy some daily necessities and pick them back.
When they arrived at the simple dock by the sea, everyone moved things off the car.
Bai Ke looked up and saw an island on the opposite side, which looked ancient and lush, like an unexplored and pristine area.
This island is so close that it seems that you can get over it with a fierce man.
But Bai Ke knows that in fact, this island is at least two or three kilometers away from the mainland.
You can't swim even if you're not a good swimmer.
Zheng Yaozu untied the rope from the pillar of the pier and dragged his boat to the shore.
On the side of his boat, the word "hemp" was written in bright red paint.
It is estimated that ordinary people are so frightened when they see this word that they run away.
Not to mention stealing.
Four people carried things onto the boat.
Then Feng Qin drove back to the town by herself.
With five televisions and two more people, the boat's cabin was stuffed to the brim.
I can barely sit down.
Bai Ke sat down and looked down to see that the waterline was almost to the boat.
Zheng Yaozu couldn't help but smile when he saw Bai Ke's nervous expression: "Don't be afraid, the more things you have, the more stable the ship will be." ”
The boat is a oar.
A large curved wooden square with a rope attached to it.
After a few shakes, the boat whizzed forward.
In just three or five minutes, you can clearly see the small pier opposite.
As the dock got closer and closer, Bai Ke's heart also hung in the air.
Because he saw seven or eight people waiting on the dock.
They were obviously all lepers.
