Chapter 795: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
When the old woman said this, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "By the way, Wang Qiao's family has relatives at home in the past few days, it seems that they are the children of the earthquake in Huangshi Town, and his parents are dead, so he stays in Wang Qiao's house. ”
Xiao Xueman and Hu Xian'er glanced at each other, and Xiao Xueman asked quietly, "What is the child's name, do you know?" ”
The old woman shook her head.
"What does he look like, how old is he?" Hu Xian'er asked.
"About sixteen or seventeen years old, just in the third year of high school, before the university entrance examination, my parents were crushed to death by the earthquake house, you say it's a pity, it's a pity, it's normal to be mentally wrong." The old woman sighed a little.
"Then if he comes to pick up the clothes later, can you point him out, this kid is very pitiful, I will send him two more sets of clothes." Xiao Xueman said with a smile.
The old woman said, "Girl, you are really good people. Not to mention, that child is really pitiful, he is still wearing summer clothes in winter, his face is red from the cold all day long, and his hands and feet are full of chilblains, if it weren't for her sister-in-law who just bought him a cotton jacket yesterday, it is estimated that he will freeze to death this winter. ”
The two nodded, and continued to chat with the old woman.
……
At the east end of the village, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was hiding in a haystack wearing a cotton jacket covered with mud.
Looking at his appearance, he is about 1.8 meters tall, thin and tall, covered with bones from top to bottom, his face is blue from the cold, his hair is messy, compared with high school students in the city, he looks like a wild monkey in the mountains, but those big bright eyes flicker with a clear and keen light from time to time, which is unforgettable.
His skin was dark, his hands were as cold as steamed buns, and in some places they even festered and flowed thickly, but he didn't care at all.
At this time, he was lying in the haystack, holding a fantasy novel in his hand, and "Breaking the Starry Sky" written by Silkworm Tomatoes was watching it with fascination.
A fat boy who was two or three years younger than him ran over and shouted, "Yaoyu, Yaoyu!" My mother asked me to call you and go to the village chief's house to get clothes! ”
Looking at the panting fat boy in front of him, the young man named Yaoyu was stunned, put down the novel and asked, "Go to the village chief's house to get clothes, what kind of clothes do you get?" ”
"XX clothing company came to all parts of the country to send new clothes, love, and it is a good down jacket of four or five hundred pieces! Don't be aside, get up and come with me! The fat boy said excitedly.
Only then did Yaoyu put away the fantasy novel, got up lazily, and patted the dust and straw on his body again.
The two rushed to the village together, and the fat boy chatted with Yaoyu: "Yaoyu, last time you told me that a monster with wings was going to invade the earth and destroy Yellowstone Town, it seems to be the same as the truth, which fantasy novel did you see it from, I found that you have a lot of potential to tell the story!" ”
The fat boy's name is Chen Zhi, he is Yaoyu's cousin, and they have played well together since they were children, since Yaoyu's parents died, he feels sympathy and pity for this cousin who has the same interests and likes to read fantasy novels. However, Yaoyu seems to have just experienced the death of his parents, and he doesn't distinguish between reality and the illusory world, and he also tells the destruction of Yellowstone Town as the destruction of the monster with wings, so that he listens to it as a joke and a story every time.
Yaoyu glanced at Chen Zhi. In fact, Yaoyu had told Chen Zhi about this countless times, and said that it was true, but to his great surprise, not only his cousin, but even everyone in the village seemed to have forgotten about the monster's invasion of the earth, and thought that he was a psychopath, which made him both sad and very puzzled.
Moreover, Yaoyu had tried to convince his cousin and everyone in the village more than once, and had taken Chen Zhi to the scene of Huangshi Town, but Chen Zhi said that it was destroyed by the earthquake, and there was no such thing as the nonexistent monster he said.
"I didn't say anything." Yaoyu was very sad in his heart, his parents were killed by that monster and he was heartbroken, but now that no one believed him, he felt disheartened.
"Yaoyu, don't be angry. It's not that I don't believe it, it's that what you said is too fake and not a little convincing. I'm mentioning this for your own good, don't say it in front of anyone else in the future, or my mother will definitely have to send you to a psychiatrist again. Chen Zhiquan said.
Yaoyu's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "I know, don't say it, okay?" ”
Chen Zhi sighed. Since the death of this cousin's parents, not only has his personality changed dramatically, but also his spirit is a little abnormal, maybe it's because he can't accept this cruel reality for a while, maybe he will slowly get better in the future.
Chen Zhi thought like this, so he didn't speak again.
The two of them hurried with their heads down, and soon came to the village chief's house. However, before they could enter the courtyard, they saw that the villagers had all lined up in a long line, all the way to the outside of the courtyard.
Seeing Chen Zhi and Yaoyu, the villagers greeted them warmly.
"Xiao Zhi is here!"
"What a coincidence you're here."
"Your mom is up front!"
Chen Zhi greeted the villagers with a smile, but when the villagers turned their eyes to Yaoyu, their eyes clearly showed pity and sympathy, and there was also a hint of regret.
Yaoyu couldn't help but clench her fists, maybe they were thinking that they were really a little nervous, right?
Why doesn't everyone believe in themselves? Why?
Yaoyu couldn't get an answer, and she was sad and angry, but she was helpless.
After all, I'm just a junior in high school, what can I do with them?
He also thought that after his parents were buried, he would be able to go back to school and no longer face these hypocritical villagers.
"What do you think, Yaoyu, let's go in." Chen Zhi saw Yaoyu standing still, so he said.
Yaoyu nodded, and the two entered the courtyard, and really saw Chen Zhi's mother lined up in the middle of the line.
"Mom!" Chen Zhi shouted, walked up with a smile, and Yaoyu followed closely.
He looked at the sister-in-law and his father, and although he was sad that his sister-in-law didn't believe in him, after all, blood was thicker than water, and he called softly: "Sister-in-law." ”
When Chen Zhi's mother saw the two children, she immediately smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, Xiaozhi, come here quickly, and you will be able to get a down jacket later." ”
Yaoyu followed Chen Zhi to the front of the little aunt.
"Xiaoyu, where did you go just now?" The sister-in-law asked casually.
"Didn't go anywhere." Yaoyu didn't bother to say.
Chen Zhi hurriedly replied: "He hid in the straw pile at the east end of the village to read novels." ”
The sister-in-law sighed: "Xiaoyu, there are still 5 or 6 months before the college entrance examination, it's not good for you to always read other books like this, you have to review your homework more, you know?" ”
Yaoyu glared at Chen Zhi, and then said nonchalantly: "What is there to review, it's not like that, and you can't get an undergraduate anyway." ”
"You can't say that." The sister-in-law frowned, "If you hurry up and review now, maybe there will be a great opportunity, not to mention that there will be a holiday in February, and I plan to spend money to invite a few of your teachers to make up for your good and bad at that time." ”
"I don't want it!" Yaoyu hurriedly refused.
He wanted to go back to school, but not to study hard, but to escape the eyes of the villagers, and in the class, he also had a female student who had a crush on each other for two years.
"No, it's decided. Your parents entrusted you to me, and I will be responsible for you! Xiaoyu, you're such a big person, why are you still so ignorant? ”
"Why are you as annoyed as my mother, I know my own affairs!" Yaoyu said impatiently.
"What's your attitude?" My sister-in-law finally got angry. Chen Zhi on the side did not dare to dissuade him.
Fortunately, the people in line were all neighbors, and when they heard their quarrel, they hurriedly persuaded: "Ah Qin, don't worry about the child, he is not very sensible, tell him well!" ”
Then someone persuaded Yaoyu again: "Yaoyu, you are almost an adult, and your parents not only don't understand how your sister-in-law can worry about it." Xiao Zhi's family is not in good condition, and you have to ask the teacher to tutor you, not so that you can be admitted to the university, and you will have a future in the society, why don't you know how to learn about Entu Bao so much! ”
Yaoyu immediately became angry, and he was about to get angry when he heard a crisp female voice say: "Those two young men, it's your turn, please come up and get a down jacket, okay?" ”
Yaoyu couldn't help but look over, and saw a young woman in her 20s standing in the corridor of the village chief's house, with a slender figure, delicate facial features, clear and bright beautiful big eyes, a ponytail, wearing a red short down jacket, with thin-legged jeans, looking exceptionally pure and beautiful.
Yaoyu's eyes straightened all of a sudden, this woman is so beautiful! More beautiful than the female classmate I had a crush on in the class.
"Okay, let's talk about this later, you go up and get your clothes first." Ah Qin temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart and urged.
"Let's go, let's go up." Chen Zhi hurriedly pulled Yaoyu, who was still in a daze, and stepped forward.
Hu Xian'er saw that the faces of the two teenagers were still a little immature, especially the tall and thin teenager in front of him, because he was too thin, both faces were sunken, which made the cheekbones particularly prominent, and the face was yellow and thin, it seemed that he was really malnourished, he couldn't help but have a little connection, and said with a kind smile: "Please come here to get clothes." ”
Hu Xian'er took Yaoyu and Chen Zhi into the village chief's house, Yaoyu saw a young woman who was more beautiful than the staff in front of him sitting behind a desk, taking a pen and taking some notes, and next to him was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, and on the table next to him was a large pile of brand-new down strands packed in plastic bags, different colors and styles.
The village chief and his wife were busy serving tea and pouring water for several staff members.
The house was air-conditioned, and only the village chief's house had an air-conditioner in the whole village, which made Yaoyu feel a rare warmth and comfort, and his originally frozen and stiff face and hands seemed to be slowly warmed up.
