Chapter 22 The Guest House
Towards evening, Guoqiang and Shufen rushed back with their front and back feet, and they knew that they must not have found it.
"Did you ask if anyone on the street saw it?" Yang Zegui asked Shufen.
"I asked, but no one saw it. I asked a lot of people, and the morning bus sent people to say that they didn't see it! Shufen replied.
Xie Guoqiang hurriedly reported: "Dad, Fushun didn't go back, I went to the courtyard of the Liu family to ask, but I didn't see it!"
"Hey," Yang Zegui was very disappointed, "Go to him, it's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, and the baby brought back by another family has to run, and I can't take it home!" What he was annoyed about was not the loss of this son, but the worry that if there was a mistake, how would he explain to the bright red couple underground and the educated youth who ran away, "What a virtue!" Thinking of the educated youth, Yang Zegui scolded angrily.
"I write a letter. Guoqiang, you go to the street again, hand it over to Township Chief Luo, and ask him to ask someone to bring you Uncle Seven tomorrow! After speaking, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote the letter.
As soon as Shufenniang heard that no one was found, she cried and grabbed the ground, did she really not have the life to raise her son?
Shufang on the side gave Guoqiang a look anxiously, and Guoqiang hurriedly said: "Mother, I am half of you." Don't worry, I'll do the work at home in the future! ”
"What a half, just one!" Shufang hurriedly added.
Guoqiang should be with Shufang, take the letter handed by his father-in-law, and run in the direction of Maoershan.
Turning the Harrier Kan with thirty-six bends, it is not far from the county seat, the winding mountain road began to flatten out, Fushun, who was bumpy and almost vomited, firmly grasped the edge of the car, and looked at Gui Ying with a pale face: "Sister Gui Ying, where is this car parked?"
"Go to the grain station in the county seat, I told the master, he passed by the gate of the county party committee and left us there!"
Fushun suddenly became nervous, what if he really met Uncle Seven in the county? Then my plan will be completely ruined! Didn't you ever have the idea of taking Shufen out? This Sister Gui Ying and I also have a care when we go out, this woman is eccentric, not to mention that she doesn't need me to earn money for her to go to school!
"Sister Gui Ying, why don't we go to the grain station too?" Fushun asked timidly.
"Why? Aren't you looking for your seventh uncle? Gui Ying sneered, knowing that this kid was not looking for Uncle Seven, "I'll talk about it later, where is it convenient to get off!" ”
"That, sister, did you really see my map?"
"See! Do you think our Yangjiawan is not good? Say, where are you going? Gui Ying didn't expect it to be really a map, so he hurried closer and stuffed the few books he had just snatched into his bag.
Fu Shun simply told Gui Ying about the dream he had in the first month, along with his plan, "You must keep it secret for me!" ”
Gui Ying, who was confused, nodded, "I'm leaving with you, what's the secret?" ”
"Are you really going with me? Sister Gui Ying, I only have dozens of yuan in my pocket, I'm afraid that the travel expenses are not enough! Fu Shun looked at Gui Ying.
Gui Ying also looked at herself, regretting her actions this morning, and she said that she would run, and she didn't bring anything, just like this beggar, how could she go far away? "Fushun, I'm sorry, let's talk about it when we get to the county seat!"
Seeing that the houses are getting denser and denser, the buildings are getting taller, and there are more and more cars shuttling - this should be the county seat-
The county seat is not large, it is located halfway up the mountain, and many houses are built against the mountain, and there are more rickshaws than cars. The road is lined with towering camphor trees and towering telephone poles with street lamps that have not yet been lit and loud horns that do not sound sound. The shops on the street are divided into categories, tailor shops, repair shops, bun shops, fruit shops...... However, there were not many people on the street, and a few men in undershirts leaned on the rickshaw and talked to a few old men who had just passed by a few old men who had just passed by......
Gui Ying pulled Fu Shun excitedly, and asked this and that in a startled manner. In fact, Fu Shun didn't understand, he counted the tall buildings that swept behind him, one floor, two floors...... The highest has six floors! The exterior walls of the reinforced concrete structure are painted in different colors, each window is equipped with iron fences, and the balconies are covered with cacti and tweed!
The car stopped suddenly, and the driver poked his head out and shouted behind him, "Get out of the car, you two!"
"Uncle, let's go to the grain station too!" Gui Ying replied loudly.
The driver shook his head and drove on, and after about five minutes, the truck stopped at the gate of the grain station. Fu Shun and Gui Ying came down and thanked them and bowed.
The fiery sun finally came home from the West Mountain, but the concrete floor that had been basking for a day was no different from teppanyaki. Fu Shun hurriedly put on semi-rubber shoes and threw the rotten straw sandals to Gui Ying.
"The county seat is so big, I'm afraid it's as big as ten stone bridges!" Gui Ying put on straw sandals, and these straw sandals are obviously bigger!
Toutou is a jelly shop. Gui Ying, who had been hungry for a day, had a rumbling stomach, and swallowed her saliva greedily - she didn't dare to ask Fushun for money to eat - this kid just walked forward, and he didn't see hunger!
It is also the first time that Fushun has seen such a big place, there are similar roads and buildings everywhere. He simply stopped, and looked back to see if the henchman had come—not even behind him.
Fushun was a little anxious, and hurried back to find someone. Unexpectedly, at the intersection just passed, this little flower child really acted as a "begging mouth" - Yang Guiying, who was wearing rotten straw shoes, a gray torn shirt with several patches, and the hems of the linen pants were worn out, with his hands around and words in his mouth, standing on the side of the road and begging for the city people who came out to enjoy the coolness. The people of this city are so merciful that some people give alms.
Fushun just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, this Yang Guiying is really not ashamed, the blind lady was a beggar before liberation, this is all new China, she still came to be a beggar. Seeing that it was almost dark, the angry Fushun was about to leave, and Gui Ying ran over in a hurry.
"Fushun, Fushun wait for me," he ran to Fushun in three steps and two steps, and took out a large handful of change and steel hammer from his rotten trouser bag, "You see, they gave me a lot of money." ”
"Are you ashamed, you still say to listen to me, you listen to me as a beggar?"
"I didn't beg for it, I watched the jelly shop drooling, and the passers-by gave me two cents, and they gave it as I walked, and then I found out that you were gone, so I just stood at this intersection and waited for you." It seems that not only Fushun misunderstood her, but even passers-by misunderstood her - but how could she not be like a beggar?
"You count, it's so nice in the city, and there is money on the side of the road!" Gui Ying was still complacent, in fact, he himself knew that he was terrible like this.
Fushun is angry and funny. "Then you can be a beggar here, I'm going to eat!" Fushun walked towards the shopkeeper on the side of the road. As soon as he left, Gui Ying followed.
Fushun looked at the price list, good guy, a bowl of copying hands actually costs two cents and five cents, which is only a dime in Yangjiawan - but who called this the county seat, come first two bowls - he is hungry, not to mention Yang Guiying, who has not eaten breakfast.
The two children sat down in a corner, and after a while, they brought their hands to them. Gui Ying didn't count how much money she begged for, and simply stuffed it all into Fushun's bag. "Fushun, are you still leaving tonight? It's getting dark! ”
"As soon as you find the station, you can leave." Fushun couldn't wait, "Eat quickly!" ”
After walking all the way and asking all the way, I finally found the long-distance bus station in the east of the city, but it was not a coincidence - the station was closed!
The frustrated Fushun looked at Gui Ying with a tired face, these two children have been running around for a day, where do they still have the strength to toss. Opposite the station is the "station front guest house", Gui Ying looked at Fu Shun with a blank eye, "Why don't you rest overnight, there will be a car early tomorrow morning?" Gui Ying discussed.
"That's all there is to it, just rest in front of this station for the night, right?" Fushun was already depressed to the extreme.
"In front of the station?" Shufen, who couldn't read a few words, looked at Fushun, "What about the money in your bag?" ”
"I'm talking about the station guest house!" Fushun, who was about to be angry, ran to the gate of the station and asked the doorkeeper about the earliest departure time and destination tomorrow, only to know that the farthest car sent by the county was C city by the Jialing River, and the time was five o'clock in the morning.
Gui Ying lowered her head and continued to be a follower. Fushun went to the guest house and asked for a room, and spent another two yuan. The aunt at the guest house interrogated for a long time, and men and women who are not husband and wife cannot live in the same room. "We are sisters and brothers, we really don't have any money, be accommodating, big sister!" Gui Ying's words made the aunt give them the key to the room suspiciously.
Gui Ying and Fu Shun entered a somewhat old room: a single bed covered with bamboo mats, neatly folded with thin blankets, and a fan on the table next to it—the humble room was already a surprise to the two children—compared to their mud-walled house, the whitewashed walls and the open-open glass windows were incomparable to the mud-walled house, let alone the fan that only a craftsman like Xie Guoqiang could afford this year!
Fu Shun hurriedly turned on the fan, and this continuous cool breeze was worth these two dollars for a night - Fu Shun played with this high-end thing at his brother-in-law's house!
"Just now my aunt said that there is a toilet in the corner, and you can take a bath next to the toilet, you go take a bath, put my clothes on, don't be sloppy tomorrow, treat you as a beggar today, and people will treat you as a thief tomorrow!" Fu Shun threw away a set of clean clothes brought from home.
Gui Ying went happily, this little man who made him full of joy, both smart and calm, warm and caring, if you have to find a man to marry in Yangjiawan, the most favorite candidate is Fushun - this younger brother who is one year younger than him, is still so ignorant, do you know that I like him so deeply?
Fu Shun lay on the mat and looked at Gui Ying who came back from taking a bath: I didn't expect his clothes Gui Ying to wear just right, there was a faint bump under the loose button of the shirt, the fifteen-year-old girl fell off and showed a charming appearance, her graceful and elegant figure exuded a fragrant atmosphere, her tanned skin by the sun had a unique charm in the light, her freshly washed hair was draped behind her like a waterfall, her small mouth under the high nose bridge was slightly upturned, and her big eyes under the thick eyebrows looked at Fu Shun - "What do you see?" Fushun, there's soap in there, you smell it! ”
Fu Shun came back to his senses when he heard Gui Ying's words, quickly got up, grabbed a towel and ran, "I'm going to take a shower!" ”
Fu Shun got into the only bathroom on this floor, closed the door tightly, opened the unkempt, and let the cold water wash away, this fourteen-year-old young man, was deeply attracted by the scene just now, Gui Ying should also take a bath here, this is the soap she just used? Fushun used it to smear every skin on his body, and the ignorant child's body was bursting with inexplicable power......
