Chapter 147: Going their separate ways
The weather is cold, everyone should pay attention to wearing more clothes to keep warm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Today's frost falls, the north eats persimmons, the south eats ducks, in short, it is the meaning of tonic." After the frost falls, it is the beginning of winter, and winter is coming. As the old saying goes, the plan of the year lies in the winter......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
At the dinner table before, Xiaoqing had been concentrating on eating, and she didn't say a word from beginning to end, Xu Xiaobai was all focused on Lao Yaozi, and she didn't notice her abnormality. It wasn't until this moment that Xiaoqing said this, and Xu Xiaobai realized that Xiaoqing didn't seem to be the same as before.
He asked Xiaoqing to sit down and patiently explained to her: "I have arranged all your problems, don't go to the old forest with me, you have more important things to do." As he spoke, he took out a bank card from under the pillow and put it in front of Xiaoqing: "Here are 200,000 yuan, and this money plus the money I gave you before is enough for Dali's surgery." Tomorrow you will leave for Shenyang and arrange surgery for Dali when you arrive. When he is cured, you will start living a new life. Thank you for helping me find the old medicine during this time, thank you. ”
He said it sincerely enough, but Xiaoqing didn't move, and didn't accept the bank card, but said: "You haven't found the snow ginseng yet, I'm hot with this money." I'd like to help you find it. ”
Xu Xiaobai shook his head and sighed, and said in his heart that this little girl couldn't help but think that Lao Linzi was too simple. Where she could deal with it, there would be all sorts of dangers. Even he and Lao Yaozi didn't dare to say that they could get out of it with their whole body, and they slept in the open air, and the conditions were difficult, if they were not forced to do so, no one would go there for a year.
He knew that he couldn't persuade him like this, so he had to change his angle and tone, and said: "I know that you have a weak heart for this money, but from my point of view, money is nothing more than something outside the body, as long as I can save my wife, I am willing to spend as much as I want." I hope you think the same way, Dali's condition has been delayed for a long time, and it can't be delayed any longer, and he must be operated on as soon as possible so that he can recover as soon as possible, and if it drags on, it will cost more money, not to mention, I don't know what the consequences will be. Even if you don't think for yourself, think for yourself. ”
This was effective enough, and Xiaoqing really hesitated and didn't speak. Xu Xiaobai added another fire and said: "When your brother Dali recovers, you two come back together, meet your parents, and make your good deeds, if you are not in a hurry, you will wait in the village for a while, if things go well, I found snow ginseng, I must go back to the village first, and I will be happy to see your family and Meimei." If you want, I can also take you to see my wife, so that she can also know what kind of good friends I have met on this way to the north. ”
Xiaoqing finally nodded and approved Xu Xiaobai's idea. Sending Xiaoqing away, Xu Xiaobai sat on the edge of the bed for a while, unable to hide the excitement in his heart, Lao Yaozi did not particularly explain what to bring into Lao Linzi, Xu Xiaobai said in his heart Anyway, he has a supermarket system, if there is something missing, just exchange it directly, and there is no need to pay special attention to anything.
The only thing to pay attention to is the danger in the deep mountains and old forests. Bears, wolves, snow leopards, these are all things to pay attention to, but fortunately, the current Changbai Mountain is extremely cold, and most of the animals have hibernated, so the probability of encountering these things is much smaller. I have a variety of weapons on my own, so it shouldn't be a problem.
He checked his sword and pistol, made sure they were fine, put them all in his hiking bag, exchanged them for a bunch of cans, and stuffed them into the hiking bag. In addition, I also exchanged some tools needed for survival in the wild, and stuffed them all in. As a last resort, he didn't want to use the supermarket exchange system, after all, Lao Yaozi didn't have a deep relationship with him, and he couldn't expose too much of his secrets to him.
He intuitively felt that Lao Yaozi was a very thoughtful person, but this person was very straightforward and decisive, and he had no interest in listening to other people's privacy, and his temper was very similar to Xu Xiaobai. "I guess it's someone I can rely on." Xu Xiaobai muttered to himself. He slept on the kang with his head back, his thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and he only hoped that he would quickly fall asleep and raise enough physical strength to enter the forest tomorrow, but the more he wanted to sleep, the more he couldn't sleep, so he simply quietly carried Zhou Tian and practiced his Tai Chi internal strength.
Xu Xiaobai didn't know when he fell asleep, and it wasn't until the next day that he was pulled up from the bed by Xiaoqing. slept a little dazed, when Xiaoqing came to call him, he thought he was sleeping in his own house, and thought that it was his wife Lin Xing who was arguing to get him up. Lin Xing used to be like this, always when he was lazy, he lifted his quilt and shouted: "The sun is drying your butt!" "Then they got him up.
Xu Xiaobai closed his eyes, stretched out his long arm with a grin, took the woman in front of him into his arms, re-covered the quilt, and laughed softly: "Wife, don't make trouble, let me sleep for a while." ”
It doesn't feel right, Lin Xing is not so petite, and the smell on her body is not right, Lin Xing's body is always very warm with the fragrance of the sun, and this woman's body is a fresh smell of dew. Xu Xiaobai opened his eyes suddenly, and finally returned to the real world.
In his arms, a pair of big eyes were looking at him in the water, Xu Xiaobai secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly pushed the man out, sure enough, Xiaoqing was looking at him with demented eyes, presumably frightened by his actions.
Xu Xiaobai got up from the quilt with a bone, and in an instant he was completely sleepy, and said busily: "I'm sorry, I was sleepy, I thought I was still ...... at home" As he spoke, he remembered that Lin Xing was no longer by his side, so he couldn't speak, and even his voice was choked.
Xiaoqing said softly: "It's okay, you get up quickly, breakfast is ready for you." So saying, he turned and went out. Xu Xiaobai felt like a world away for a while, and it was difficult to adapt for a long time.
After he finished washing, he walked to the hall to have breakfast, Xiaoqing deliberately turned his back to him, probably feeling embarrassed. Xu Xiaobai looked at his nose and nose, as if nothing had happened, snorted sharply and ate breakfast, got up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. After a while, Xiaoqing's father came back from outside the door and said hello to Xu Xiaobai, who saw a dog pulling a plow parked at the door and asked, "Who wants to go far away?" ”
When people in the village go out in winter, they only use dogs to pull the plough when they go to distant places, and if the road is close, they all go on foot. Xiaoqing's father heard him ask and replied: "Xiaoqing said that she is going back to Shenyang, and I will send her to the county seat for a long-distance bus later." ”
Xu Xiaobai nodded, and Xiaoqing finally followed her advice, which is very good. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiaoqing to pack a big bag and come out. When she came, she came with Xu Xiaobai, and she didn't bring anything with her at all, she just conjured up something for her if she needed it, so she didn't even have a backpack, and now she was leaving, and there was no backpack for her at home, so she had to use strips of cloth to make a big burden.
Xu Xiaobai saw that this burden was very inconvenient to use, and when he walked to the corner, the white light flashed in his hand, and he had already conjured up a huge backpack, and stuffed the bag into Xiaoqing's hand: "Use this outfit to save effort on your back." ”
Xiaoqing said thank you, threw all the things in the bag into the backpack, put the backpack on her shoulder, and went to the door with her father. Xu Xiaobai and Xiaoqing's mother went to the door to see her off, and her mother naturally had to explain a lot of things to Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing kept nodding, with tears faintly flashing in her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I may come back to see you in a few months." As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Xiaobai and found that he was also looking at her, and immediately withdrew his gaze.
She sat on the dog's plow, and her father threw up the whip, and with a crisp snap, the five dogs immediately ran with a howl. As soon as the climbing plow ran out a few meters, Xiaoqing suddenly jumped down from the climbing plow, ran all the way to Xu Xiaobai's side, rushed into his arms, put his hands firmly around his neck, and kissed his face fiercely with cold lips.
Xu Xiaobai was slightly stunned, and before he could react, Xiaoqing had already turned around and ran back to the climbing plow, beckoning to Xu Xiaobai, and said loudly: "I wish you all the best!" Then he walked away without looking back.
Xu Xiaobai stood in place, extremely embarrassed. Xiaoqing's mother was standing next to her, witnessing all this process, and she was a little speechless. After a while, she finally said to Xu Xiaobai: "Go back, the old medicine should come later." Young people now......"
She didn't say any more, Xu Xiaobai hummed silently, and followed her back to the room. I always felt that the place on my cheek that was kissed by Xiaoqing was cold, and I wanted to rub the feeling off with my hands, but I couldn't get my hands down, so I simply let it go.
At noon, Lao Yaozi drove another dog to pull the plow, and came in to say hello to Xiaoqing's mother, calling her sister-in-law. Xiaoqing's mother let the two of them have lunch, Lao Yaozi and Xu Xiaobai ate happily for a while, Lao Yaozi brought a bottle of liquor, took it out and drank it, and asked Xu Xiaobai if he wanted it, Xu Xiaobai frowned slightly, and said: "I won't drink anymore, I'm about to go into the old forest, I need to keep a clear head." ”
Lao Yaozi laughed and said, "You stinky boy, you promised to listen to me for everything yesterday, why don't you listen to it now." Let me tell you, in the old woods in winter, you have to drink alcohol at any time, otherwise you will be frozen into ice cubes, and your blood will not flow. On our side, men who don't have a pound or two of alcohol are trained in this way. ”
Xu Xiaobai remembered that he had indeed promised him this yesterday, and said in his heart that he should do what he said, so he picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass and drank it all. Lao Yaozi nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right, wine is food*** The more you drink, the younger you get, the ancients don't deceive me." ”
Xu Xiaobai didn't speak, he drank and ate by himself, and the two of them had a full meal and immediately packed up and went out. Xu Xiaobai saw that Lao Yaozi was climbing on the plow, and tied up piles of things with ropes, Chinese cabbage, bud rice wotou, and a few large pieces of bacon, in addition to a box of old village chiefs, and said in his heart that this equipment didn't look like he was going into the mountains, like he was going to a picnic. In addition, the more eye-catching are the two shotguns tied to the climbing plow, the body of the gun is shiny, but looking at the paint off, these are two old guns.
He was slightly surprised, his heart said that the country had been cracking down hard for so many years, and it stands to reason that the people's shotguns should have been confiscated, and Lao Yaozi didn't know where to get these two shotguns. And these two guns have obviously been used all the time, not for a long time.
But since the thing was obtained by the old medicine, he didn't want to ask more. Lao Yaozi saw that he saw this gun but didn't say anything, and he couldn't help but think highly of him again, secretly saying that this kid must be a hard stubble, and he can endure curiosity, this kind of person must not be a good character. How did he know that if Xu Xiaobai needed to use a gun, he could exchange it for more powerful goods than these two shotguns at any time, and these two broken guns would not be able to enter Xu Xiaobai's eyes.
The old medicine shouted, and the dog pulled the plow and slowly started to run towards the outside of the village. Xu Xiaobai waved goodbye to Xiaoqing's mother on the plow, and sincerely thanked the family for their hospitality in the past few days. The plough was slow at first, but then it ran away and became faster, maintaining a speed of about thirty kilometers per hour, and soon left the village, galloped over the depression, and then turned a corner in the oblique thorn, and ran to the vast old forest in the distance.
