Chapter 57: Night Walk (1)
As soon as she walked into the house, her mother Yang Meizhen said to Tian Limai: "Mai'er, you tell your mother the truth, what happened to Yu'er?"
"Mom, don't worry, my sister really doesn't have any big deals!" Tian Limai still didn't dare to tell the truth to his mother Yang Meizhen, Tian Limai knew that his mother who had a cough disease regarded him and his sister Tian Liyu as heavier than her own life, if she released it truthfully, it would make her mother unbearable, maybe her mother Yang Meizhen would faint on the spot!
"Mai'er, are you really telling the truth?" The mother's eyes were staring at Tian Limai tightly, there was a light of hope in her eyes, and her mother Yang Meizhen actually hoped that Tian Limai was telling the truth.
Tian Limai didn't dare to look at his mother Yang Meizhen's eyes, he replied: "Mom, I'm telling the truth!"
The complexion on her mother Yang Meizhen's face improved slightly, and Tian Limai could see that after her mother Yang Meizhen got Tian Limai's confirmation, she seemed to be slightly relieved!
Tian Limai saw that her mother Yang Meizhen breathed a sigh of relief, so she said: "Mom, let's have some dinner first, and when grandpa and they come, let's see how to discuss?" Mom, do you still have money at home?"
"Mai'er, there is a thousand yuan at home, which is going to be used for you to go to high school, it seems that you can only take it out first to deal with the emergency!" Mother Yang Meizhen said.
I heard that there were only 1,000 yuan at home, Tian Limai knew that this was far from enough, he reached out and touched it in his purse, there were two hundred yuan from his aunt in the purse, although he used dozens of yuan for supper the night before, but he asked his father Tian Hezhuang to make up for it, although he decided to return it to his aunt in front of his sister Sun Junli, but now these are not important!
"Mom, I want to do this, after grandpa and they come to discuss, I will go to the town tonight, I run fast alone, saying that I may not catch up with my father and them on the road, I am afraid that something will happen to my sister, and my father and they must not have brought money!" Tian Limai said.
Tian Limai and his mother Yang Meizhen began to eat dinner, Tian Limai sat at the table and suddenly felt a little hungry, at noon he and his father Tian Hezhuang only ate one steamed bun, and left the rest of the steamed buns for his sister Tian Liyu, but he didn't expect his sister Tian Liyu to encounter this flying disaster!
Mother Yang Meizhen ate very little food, although Tian Limai insisted that her sister Tian Liyu was fine, but her mother Yang Meizhen still did not completely put it down, and she couldn't completely put it down, because, if her sister Tian Liyu was really fine, then what would she send to the hospital for?
Tian Limai stopped eating two bowls of rice.
"Mom, Dad didn't have dinner either, I'll fill a bowl with a bowl and I'll take it with you!" Tian Limai said.
"Mai'er, not only did your father not eat it, but your uncle and second uncle didn't eat it, you and your father bought steamed buns and came back, and brought the steamed buns with you, which is better than rice!" Mother Yang Meizhen said.
Tian Limai saw that his mother was worried, so he did what his mother said, wrapped the steamed buns that he had brought back from school, and then cleaned up the dinner table and washed the bowls and chopsticks.
After Tian Limai finished this qiē, grandpa, grandmother, eldest uncle, and second uncle came, and the eldest uncle and second uncle each carried a plastic bag, which contained rice and vegetables in a bowl, and at a glance it was known that it was dinner for the eldest uncle Tian Muzhuang and the second uncle Tian Shuizhuang!
Mother Yang Meizhen hurriedly gave up her seat, and her grandfather said: "It doesn't matter whether to sit or not, let's quickly discuss a way to raise money and send people to them, if we can catch up with them!"
"Grandpa, I'll go, I often walk to the road in Huolongping Town, I'll go!" Tian Limai immediately rushed to say.
"Sun Wa, you go, you go alone, we don't worry!" said Grandpa.
"Grandpa, I'm seventeen or eighteen years old, why don't you worry?" Tian Limai said.
"Dad, I'm going with Mai'er, just to ask my sister-in-law to help me feed the livestock!" said her mother, Yang Meizhen.
"Dad, I'll go too, and I'll ask my sister-in-law to help feed the livestock!" The second aunt also said.
"Grandpa, it's too late, if my mother and second aunt go with me, we won't be able to hurry, I'll go alone tonight, and tomorrow my mother and second aunt will go again!" Tian Limai said.
Tian Limai said this, it is true that he can't catch up with time, his mother Yang Meizhen has a cough, although the second aunt is not sick, but they have to walk in quickly on the mountain road at night, it is impossible, the key is that if they catch up with their father Tian Hezhuang and their party, mother Yang Meizhen saw that her sister Tian Liyu was in a coma, and the second aunt saw that Tian Meimei's leg was unconscious, and the two of them fainted on the spot?
"Sun Wa, I'll find someone to accompany you! Your mother and your second aunt won't go tonight, they will go again tomorrow morning!" Grandpa said to Tian Limai.
"Grandpa, I don't need to find someone to accompany me, I can do it alone!" Tian Limai insisted.
"This can't be done, Sun Wa, it's a long way, and you have to pass through a few big forests, and you're scared alone!" said grandma.
"Grandma, there are no tigers on the road, and there are no 'stickers' (stickers: that is, bandits) that you used to say, it's just a little darker, I'm not afraid!" Tian Limai still insisted on going alone.
Grandpa and grandma looked at Tian Limai, although the road is far away, and it is night, big animals like tigers have long been extinct, although wild boars, roe deer and other animals have increased in recent years, but these animals do not take the initiative to attack humans, unless you provoke it, besides, the current social order is good, there is no roadblock robbery, robbery!
Tian Limai saw that his grandfather and grandmother no longer spoke, maybe they acquiesced.
"Mom, second uncle, will you give me the money you prepared?" Tian Limai said.
Mother Yang Meizhen and the second aunt handed the prepared money to Tian Limai, the mother Yang Meizhen gave 1,000, and the second aunt only gave 2,000, grandpa and grandma saw it, and grandpa took out 200 yuan from his body and said: "I and Lao Youke also went to rummage, only found 200 yuan, come, take it all!"
"Dad, don't, you only have two hundred yuan, keep it!" Mother Yang Meizhen stopped.
"Mei Zhen, it's okay, your mother and I have a living allowance of 120 yuan per month for the elderly in rural areas, and we still have pocket money, oh, speaking of which, let Sun Wa bring the book of rural cooperative medical care, and also take the insurance policy of the two daughters and grandchildren at school!" Grandpa said.
Tian Limai changed a new set of clothes, and he said to the eldest aunt and the second uncle: "Auntie, second aunt, you don't need to take the dinner for the eldest uncle and the second uncle, we have steamed buns!"
"Tian Limai, I'm afraid the steamed buns you brought are not enough for them to eat, so let's bring the rice, I'm afraid it won't be until tomorrow night to get to Huolongping Town, and there will be such a long time!" The eldest aunt said.
"Mai'er, be careful on the road, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is night, be careful!" Mother Yang Meizhen said worriedly.
"Okay, Mom, when you and the second aunt come tomorrow, remember to bring some change of clothes with your sister," Tian Limai said as he turned to the second aunt and said, "Second aunt, also remember to bring some clothes for the younger sister!"
Tian Limai took a flashlight and went on the road!
In the summer season, it is a very refreshing thing for walking at night, the sky is full of stars, the ground is cool and breezy, there is no boredom and heat under the scorching sun during the day, Tian Limai is almost trotting on the mountain road!
As the distance from the upper four stations became farther and farther away, the sound of chickens and dogs was no longer heard. From Shangsitai to Huolongping Town, you have to pass through three large forests, namely Baijia Bamboo Forest, Huangnipo and Shuiyuanzi.
Baijia bamboo forest is Tian Limai first to pass through, leaving the four less than an hour away to here, Baijia bamboo forest grows a large area of Nanzhu and golden bamboo and Chi bamboo, the road passes through the middle of the Baijia bamboo forest, walking in the forest at night, the sound of the night wind blowing the bamboo leaves, it is very much people associate with ghosts, so as to rise in the heart of the horror!
When Tian Limai walked in the bamboo forest, he was not afraid, he didn't seem to hear the sound of those bamboo leaves, and he only had one belief in his heart: hurry up and catch up with his father Tian Hezhuang as soon as possible!
Tian Limai was thinking as she walked, I don't know if my sister Tian Liyu has woken up?
After walking through the bamboo forest, there is a village, and there are only a few lights in the village, and most of the people seem to have fallen asleep!
The occasional barking of dogs in the village made Tian Limai's heart rise a sense of intimacy, he had walked in the bamboo forest before, although he was not afraid, he felt that he was lonely, surrounded by darkness, as if his heart was being held by something.
Tian Limai quickly passed through the village, and then a large forest, this forest connected the cupola and the Barbarian Mountains, and through this forest, he entered the edge of the Barbarian Mountains.
This forest is the yellow mud slope, the ancestors don't know why this forest is named the yellow mud slope, the slope is there, and it is a very long slope, the slope in the forest almost two or three hours to walk, however, the yellow mud is not, in the forest, the humus layer on the ground is peeled off, the soil is all black and swarthy.
Tian Limai has always encouraged himself not to be afraid, but there is always a little fear in his heart to walk through such a large forest on such a night.
Tian Limai decided to rest for two minutes on the edge of the Huangnipo, he had been walking for more than two hours, and he thought, maybe he would catch up with his father and them in this forest on the Huangnipo!
Although Tian Limai walks fast, it seems that his father Tian Hezhuang and they also walk fast, except for the uphill and bumpy roads, Tian Limai is trotting fast!
Tian Limai found a stone, sat down, he reached out and touched the money in his purse, he thought, don't lose it, this is the life-saving money and treatment money of his sister Tian Liyu and Tian Yumei, as well as those documents, they can't be dropped!
Tian Limai sat for a while, stood up and a soak of urine, and then walked to the depths of the forest on the yellow mud slope......
