Past life one
In the evening, the scorching sun finally slowly set, and a large area of colorful glow spread like a flame throughout the sky, and the sultry air ushered in a hint of evening breeze
On the provincial trunk road leading to J City, more than a dozen tricycles lined up and slowly moved forward, Liang Xuetao sat on the car with Liang Dou in his arms, the thick and hard straw mattress hurt his back and waist, but he didn't realize it, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and his bloodshot eyes were staring at the weak figure in front of him who was struggling to push the wheels, and his expression showed a trace of worry.
Liang Juan and Liang Wen followed the car, Liang Juan looked up at the sky and cursed to herself, and then asked, "Mom, are you tired?" Why don't I ride? ”
Wei Hongyu wiped the sweat on her forehead by tugging at the corner of her clothes, shook her head and said, "No, mom is not tired." After speaking, he gritted his teeth, clenched the handle, and kicked hard a few more times.
After a while, the speed of the convoy suddenly slowed down, and a half-old boy ran from the front, shouting as he ran: "There is a gas station in front, Captain He said, rest there tonight." ”
Not long after, Wei Hongyu pedaled a tricycle and followed the traffic into the gas station.
After locking the tricycle, she and Liang Juan helped Liang Xuetao into the hall of the gas station left and right.
The hall is about 500 square meters, empty, at this time has gathered a lot of people, most of them are thin, there are vegetables on their faces, they sit on the ground against the wall in twos and threes, and they do not communicate with each other, they all close their eyes and take a rest.
Wei Hongyu found a clean corner, laid out the straw mattress, and after Liang Xuetao lay down, she instructed Liang Juan a few more words, and then hurriedly walked out.
At this time, the stove had been set up on the left side of the hall, and several middle-aged women began to brush the pot and cook.
When it is said to be cooking, it is actually boiling rice soup, and there are only a dozen grains of rice in a bowl of rice soup.
The firewood and water were prepared in the morning, and it was not difficult to make, and it took about ten minutes to boil.
After a whole day of running around under the scorching sun, it is at this time that drinking two sips of rice soup with corn tortillas can make people feel more comfortable.
Hongyu made five bowls of rice soup, and took out a tortilla from the cloth bag and gave a piece to Liang Xuetao and the three children, Liang Dou took it and immediately devoured it, Wei Hongyu saw this, touched his little head, "Eat slowly." ”
Liang Xuetao swallowed two tablets of anti-inflammatory medicine with half a mouthful of rice soup, and the remaining half bowl was returned to Wei Hongyu by him, "You drink it, I'm not thirsty." ”
When the words fell, seeing Wei Hongyu's gaze cast over, he subconsciously licked his chapped lips.
Wei Hongyu looked at him fixedly for a while, and walked out with the rice soup.
As soon as she walked out of the hall door with her front feet, Liang Juan turned her head to look at Liang Xuetao, glared angrily and said, "What do you mean, you can stand drinking so many sips of water every day?" Do you want to have some kind of illness again, let us serve you? Are you dragging your feet along the way? ”
Liang Dou lowered his head a little embarrassed when he heard her say this.
Liang Xuetao shook his head calmly and explained: "It's inconvenient to drink too much water. After saying that, he looked down at his injured left leg.
At the end of last year, when he went out to buy supplies, he met a group of pedestrians grabbing food on the road, and was inadvertently pushed by someone, and happened to hit a speeding truck, so that the ankle bone of his left leg was shattered.
As soon as Liang Xuetao said this, Liang Juan immediately understood the meaning, and said stupidly: "What's inconvenient? Isn't it just going to the toilet, just say no. Then he deliberately asked in a rough voice, "Do you want to go now?" ”
Liang Xuetao shook his head.
Liang Juan squinted at him and muttered dissatisfiedly.
At this time, Wei Hongyu walked in with a rice bowl, followed by a tall and strong middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a black mole on the right side of his cheek.
This person is the captain of this team, named He Xiaosong.
Wei Hongyu pursed her lips, opened her luggage, took out a few pieces of corn tortillas from the cloth bag, looked around, and then stuffed them to He Xiaosong.
He Xiaosong put the tortilla in his arms and said with a smile: "Hongyu, you are so polite, you are all your own people, and you are still so outside." ”
"Yes, it's really hard for the captain to take care of us like this." Wei Hongyu said, brushing the broken hair around her ears.
"What captain?" He Xiaosong glared at her with dissatisfaction, "Call me Brother Song like I did when I was a child, and call me brother-in-law." Hongyu, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you have begun to talk to me, this is not good, we grew up together, this is not an ordinary affection, I remember that you always loved to follow me and my daughter-in-law at that time"
As He Xiaosong said, he and Wei Hongyu are fellow villagers who grew up in a village, He Xiaosong has been working in S City for all these years to sell physical strength, and the two happened to meet some time ago, Wei Hongyu was worried about how they would return to Datian Village with a few sick and disabled women and children, and learned that He Xiaosong organized a tricycle to prepare to return to his hometown, so he exchanged three bags of 20 catties of flour for a few places.
As a fellow villager and old friend, Wei Hongyu thinks that she knows a little bit about He Xiaosong, this person is thick and thin, sweet and bitter, looking at the honest and honest appearance, in fact, he likes to calculate people the most, and loves to take advantage of small advantages.
Wei Hongyu and his party were either crippled or women, children and children, and they still needed his care along the way, so they didn't dare to offend him at all, knowing that he was pretending to be nonsense at this time, Wei Hongyu could only squeeze out a smile and respond a few words.
The two chatted for a while, He Xiaosong walked away with a corn tortilla contentedly, and the triumphant smile on his face when he left stung Liang Xuetao's eyes, he couldn't help but clench his fist and beat his leg a few times, and endless sadness and helplessness welled up in his heart while being indignant.
Liang Juan, Liang Wen and Liang Dou were half-full with rice soup and corn tortillas, and then spread out the covers and fell asleep.
When they fell asleep, Wei Hongyu asked He Xiaosong for a basin of cold water, soaked the towel, and began to wipe Liang Xuetao's injured leg.
Liang Xuetao's left leg was seriously injured, not only the ankle bone was shattered, but there were also multiple wounds on the knee, probably because they were not treated well in time, or for other reasons, these wounds always festered repeatedly.
After Wei Hongyu finished wiping it, she looked down and looked at it, then gestured and said, "It's suppuration again, you have to dig this place clean." ”
Liang Xuetao raised his eyes to look at her, stopped talking, and finally nodded silently.
Wei Hongyu turned a blind eye to this, took out a small piece of wooden stick for Liang Xuetao to bite, and then sterilized the knife on the flame of the lighter, and began to calmly remove the carrion, with a neat movement, obviously not the first time to do this kind of thing.
After a while, Liang Xuetao let out a few muffled snorts in pain, and Wei Hongyu then put away the knife and carefully tied the wound with gauze.
In the last days, there is an extreme shortage of medicines, and the iodine wine and hydrogen peroxide bandages used to bandage the wound are staggeringly expensive, just with the materials in Liang Xuetao's hands, he can probably only exchange for a few bottles of iodine wine and hydrogen peroxide, he is naturally reluctant to buy medicines, which is also one of the reasons why the wound has not recovered for a long time.
