Chapter 125: A River Flows Southward

Wang Yong thought of a good idea, and suddenly he couldn't even take care of eating, threw the rice bowl on the table, got up and ran to the landline at home.

Picking up the phone, thinking for a while, I dialed a phone number under the watchful eyes of my family.

"Hello? Is it Uncle Liu? I'm Wang Yong. ”

"Is it our little God of Wealth? Do you have any good ideas to tell Uncle Liu about making a fortune? I'm willing to tell you, your Uncle Liu is poor, and he can't even eat. ”

Wang Yong's big eyes rolled, this person is really waiting for his eyes to tell nonsense! If he, as the mayor of a city, can't eat, how many people will starve to death in the city?

"Can you be brought to this set with me, is there a big boss coming to our village from time to time today? You go and make a relationship with him! People have heard that they are old and rich, and the leakage is enough for you to eat for a few years. ”

"Oh? You mean Li Lao, right? By the way, when you talk about this, I just want to ask you, what kind of stimulus did Elder Li receive in your village? How did you pass out after a few words of chatting with someone? It's not out of danger yet! ”

"Huh? So serious? Wang Yong was really shocked, according to his thoughts, the old man Li Minghua should have fainted due to emotion, it should be nothing serious, how do you know that listening to Mayor Liu's meaning, he is quite sick!

"Isn't it, the Municipal People's Hospital organized an expert consultation, and invited a few experts from several major hospitals in the capital to rush over, I just came back from there, and I am still observing in the intensive care unit!"

"Something is wrong! Something is wrong! ”

"What's wrong? What are you babbling about, boy? Do you know what's going on with Old Li? I heard his assistant say that it was because of someone's death that Li Lao couldn't stand the stimulation and fainted, isn't that the case? ”

Wang Yong didn't hide anything, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to. Not to mention that his driver was at the scene, as the mayor of a city, if he wants to investigate such a thing, it's not a phone call?

At the moment, Wang Yong sorted out his thoughts. I told Mayor Liu all the news I heard from my mother and the people in the village just now. At the same time, he also told his guess and asked him to refer to it.

"So, the inside story of this matter is now known only to the old man named Zhuzi in your village, except for Elder Li, who is still in a coma?"

"It should be like this, the old people of their generation are now the only ones left in the village, my third grandfather and sixth grandmother. Some of the rest were young at the time, so they probably don't remember. Or remember, it's all hearsay, and only my third master should know the inside story. ”

"In that case, Uncle Liu has handed over the task of finding out the truth of this matter to you, do you have the confidence to complete this glorious and sacred task entrusted to you by the organization?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Wang Yong was happy! I can't find a reason to go to the third master's house to investigate. This time, it's good. We came here to understand the situation on the orders of the mayor, and even if the three masters don't want to say it this time, they won't drive themselves out with a broom like before!

It's just that what disappointed him was that when he ran to the third master's house in a hurry, he was told by his son that the third master said that no one would see him, and no one should bother him these two days.

Due to the seniority and age of the old man in the village, it is really difficult for everyone to come to bother the old man anymore. Wang Yong also suddenly remembered that the old man Li Minghua fainted immediately when he heard the bad news. So is the third master the same, crying sadly because he recalls the past?

The next morning, everyone didn't have time to care about it anymore. Because I had just had breakfast, it was not yet ten o'clock, and the originally clear sky was suddenly blown by a gust of wind that blew a large dark cloud from nowhere.

The wind was mixed with sand and gravel. All kinds of miscellaneous objects rushed over the sky with whistling sounds, and the originally lively village suddenly became quiet, and the figures of people coming and going on the streets gradually disappeared.

Many villagers who were doing farm work in the fields immediately threw down their work and hurried to their homes; The children who were laughing and playing in the streets didn't care about playing anymore. Holding his head and running straight home; Under the shade of the trees, the old people chatting in the commissary glanced at the sky a few times indifferently, and then walked casually. Unhurriedly braved the wind and went home.

Wang Yong skillfully drove his mother's BMW from the farm to his home, and had to turn on the headlights in the darker and darker sky, and his feet on the accelerator also consciously used a little force.

Suddenly, the car engine responded quickly, the engine output power increased rapidly, and a feeling of pushing back came suddenly, and the car accelerated sharply.

It was almost completely dark outside the car window, the wind was howling everywhere, and the trees in front of and behind the house were all swaying and trembling.

The white potato seedlings that were about to be dried by the children of the family who were drying on the roof were blown all over the sky by this gust of wind.

A piece of clothes that I don't know whose house was dried was blown up to the sky by the strong wind, and it was naughtily blown up, and it fell, and it was blown up and down, and it was soon blown high in the sky, and it became a small black dot that was not real.

Wang Yong skillfully drove the car to the newly repaired semi-underground garage, got out of the car and ran to the yard to remove the few red bricks that blocked the sewer to prevent the chickens raised in the yard from escaping.

Then he covered his head, lowered his head, and ran back to the house with difficulty against the wind. As soon as he slapped the dust on his head, the bean-sized raindrops crackled and fell under the agitation of the wind.

At the beginning, it was like a pouring rain, which instantly knocked on the glass windows, and people couldn't help but worry that the next moment, the glass might be shattered by it.

Through the window, I vaguely saw that with the beating of large raindrops in the courtyard, bursts of dust drifted up, and then more raindrops were slapped back to the ground, mixed into muddy water, and the whole courtyard became muddy.

A few playful swallows flew through the storm with difficulty, narrowly passed through the obstacles, and fell back to the nest under the eaves, chattering about themselves and their companions about their heroic deeds in the storm.

At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, the wind stopped, the rain stopped for a while, and the sky was still as if night had fallen. Wang Hai called and said that he was eating in the cafeteria with Wang Liang and would not come back.

My mother also called from the city and said that it was raining too much. It's not safe on the road, so she won't come back today and go to Uncle Zhang's house to be Aunt Lin Qiuye's companion.

After eating, the table was cleaned up, and Wang Yong slowly fell asleep in the storm that began to regain his strength.

When I woke up, I looked out the window and it was already pitch black. I turned on the electric light in the house and glanced at the newly purchased quartz clock that had been very popular recently, hanging on the north wall. It was just over five o'clock.

Yawned, stretched, bored, and ignoring the danger of being struck by lightning on a rainy day, Wang Yong turned on the TV.

The signal quality of the TV was seriously disturbed by the heavy rain, and only two of the original six or seven channels were left to watch. One is the provincial station and the other is the central station.

Lying on the kang, his head resting on the pillow and looking at the beams of the roof, listening to more and more TV sets in his ears. More and more exaggerated advertisements, accompanied by the heavy rain outside the house, Wang Yong began to wander the world.

Before he knew it, he was asleep again, and when he woke up from a chill. I don't know when the heavy rain outside the house has stopped.

The TV was still playing the show, and his stomach was rumbling, reminding Wang Yong that he should eat in time.

Wang Yong stiffened for another three minutes, and he really couldn't stand the hunger pang. Reluctantly, he got up, rummaged through the cabinets, found a piece of watermelon, and broke two bananas. I took two more pieces of cake and sent them away to protest against the Five Organs Temple.

The next morning, when Wang Yong was still asleep, he heard a whispering sound outside the house coming to his ears.

"It's bolted, don't follow it again, trip into the water!"

"Don't worry! This time, the buckle I tied was the pig's trotter buckle I learned from the big truck drivers at home, and the tighter it became, it would definitely not be like the last time. ”

"Where's the hook? Where did you put your fishing rods? I heard Bo say that there are big fish in the river! The mouth of the jar was too small to deal with their big ones. ”

"You help me with this, I'll go get the fishing rod!"

"Then hurry up, I'll wait for you outside!"

"Why are you in a hurry? The bait hasn't been made yet! ”

"Then why do you need to spend that time? Wouldn't it be enough to dig up two earthworms? ”

"How's that going to work? If you want to catch a big fish, you have to at least use sesame oil to make some noodles, right? ”

Listening to the conversation outside, Wang Yong knew that this was his younger brother Wang Liang and Xiaohui, the youngest son of the old aunt's family in the south, who was about to go to the small river ditch at the east end of the village to take advantage of the heavy rain yesterday to go fishing.

Every time it rains heavily, several reservoirs upstream of this small ditch release floodwater. A large amount of river water mixed with the mud and sand that came all the way, like the roaring Yellow River, surging down, the water level can grow from more than ten centimeters to two or three meters deep out of thin air, and the original half meter wide river surface will instantly become six or seven meters wide.

At this time, the fish that escaped from the reservoir became the playthings of the children in the vicinity.

Often many children ignore the prevention of adults, secretly risk being washed away by the flood, call three or five playmates to find a place where no one pays attention, and use various methods to fight wits and courage with those clever fish.

Wang Liang and Xiaohui quickly packed up their things and went out of the house with a long look.

Wang Yong, who suddenly became interested, couldn't care about sleeping anymore, got up, didn't care about washing his face, didn't eat anything, took an apple and gnawed on it, and went straight to the small ditch at the east end of the village, which was the boundary between the two villages.

When he was still a few dozen meters away, Wang Yong faintly heard the roar of the river. When I got closer, I saw that the three-hole stone bridge erected on both sides of the creek was already crowded with people watching the excitement.

Through some gaps, Wang Yong vaguely saw that the river was almost overflowing the bridge deck, and the yellow, muddy river water mixed with a large amount of sediment was surging and slapping against all the obstacles that prevented them from running ahead, and it was unstoppable in the direction of the southern sea.

From time to time, several fish of different sizes can be seen jumping out of the water or floating at the water's edge, teasing the onlookers on the shore. (To be continued......)
