Knowing that he had unknowingly arrived in North China Province, Wu Dao also lamented that there was almost only day and no night of cultivation in the mountains, so he really didn't pay much attention to time. However, Wu Dao, who occasionally reported safety to his family during this time, looked at the time displayed on his mobile phone and found that nearly half a month had passed since he entered the mountain.

It is not impossible for him to travel from the capital to the territory of North China Province in half a month. If it weren't for the collection of animal and plant specimens, Wu Dao would definitely not have taken so long. It's rare to get out of the mountains, and Wu Dao, who has eaten game and barbecue a little disgusting recently, also wants to taste the fireworks in the world.

It just so happened that this old man, who also worked in the mountains early in the morning, seemed to be an enthusiastic person, for this young man who came down from the mountains early in the morning. The old man didn't seem to have thought about where the other party came from.

However, when he saw the backpack on Wu Dao's body, the old man also said with some seriousness: "Young man, do less things to go up the mountain overnight alone in the future." Although there are no poisonous snakes and beasts in this mountain, something is really going on. Your parents will also be sad, I really don't know, you city people, you are good, but you still like to drill this kind of dirt forest. ”

Knowing that the old man must have misunderstood him as a lone ranger, Wu Dao didn't explain anything. Anyway, his outfit looks similar to that of a travel friend. Besides, when he went down the mountain, he also deliberately cleaned up his personal appearance. When he walks out of the mountains, he will not be mistaken for a fugitor or a savage.

After sincerely saying that he would pay attention to it in the future, Wu Dao also said by the way, after eating the things he brought up the mountain, he wanted to ask the old man to help prepare some food. Of course, he will pay for the money.

These words seemed to make the old man very angry and said: "I know that you people in the city are not short of money, but we rural people are not short of these money." Seeing that you are also a student, I am afraid that the money on your body is given by your family! Forget it, just so my business is done, you can go down the mountain with me! There are not many good things in the country, but a few meals are still available. ”

I don't know what I thought, the old man who was originally going to train Wu Dao didn't say anything in the end, and took Wu Dao out of the mountains and came to a small mountain village built by the river. Looking at the houses in the small mountain village, most of them are the kind of stone tile houses with Yanzhao style. But with the exception of a few that look like they should have just been renovated, the others look very old.

After the introduction of this old man who seemed to be very interested in talking, Wu Dao knew that although this village was not big, the name was very tasteful. This made Wu Daodu speculate, was that Lord Di the governor here?

Youzhou Village, a remote mountain village located in Huailai in North China, is also familiar with the river that flows through the village. Yongding River, a river that flows through the capital and North China. And this quaint village is built on the side of mountains and rivers.

The old man's room is a courtyard that looks like it's some age. When Wu Dao, who followed the old man in, he saw that in addition to the old man, there was also a woman of the same age in the room. When he saw Wu Dao coming in, he asked the old man in the local dialect. Because he didn't understand, but Wu Dao obviously felt that the old woman seemed a little surprised that his wife brought a stranger in.

Although she disturbed the family early in the morning, the old woman still enthusiastically took out the prepared breakfast and entertained Wu Dao. Looking at the bowl of millet porridge and steamed buns that should be made of corn on the table, there are also a few homemade side dishes unique to the countryside. It's not extravagant, but it also makes Wu Dao feel very warm, and the food is naturally very fragrant.

Just as Wu Dao was sitting on the table in the courtyard with the old man eating breakfast, the old woman took a bowl and took some millet porridge and a few side dishes, and brought it to a small room at the back of the courtyard. This made Wu Dao ask curiously, who did the old woman do this to bring food?

It seems that this question is a bit abrupt, and the old man, who had a gentle expression just now, showed a trace of sadness and a trace of grief and indignation, and did not speak for a long time. This made Wu Dao very clear that he couldn't ask any questions that shouldn't be asked.

It wasn't until the old man, who had been silent for a long time, that he told the unfortunate thing about this family, this person who lived in the back of the yard. It was none other than the old man's youngest son, a proud son of heaven who was supposed to go to college. It's just that half a year ago, my son was hit by a speeding car and broke his lumbar vertebra in the process of rescuing people. He was almost paralyzed and sent home by his school teacher to recuperate.

As for the parents of the child whose son saved his life, when they learned that the old man's son was so seriously injured because he saved his daughter, they still gave 20,000 yuan very kindly. Although this money is not much, it is already the greatest sincerity they can show for the parents of children who are working in the city where their son is studying.

As for the murderer who paralyzed his son, he has not been caught until now. Even if the passer-by told the license plate number of the vehicle that caused the accident and asked the traffic police department, the answer was that the car turned out to be a fake license car. It was not the car with this license plate himself who committed the hit-and-run crime. As for the real murderer, the reply of the traffic police to the old man was to wait for news.

The teachers and students of North China University, where the old man's son is located, also donated money to the old man's son after hearing about the heroic feat of the old man's son. But for the treatment of this lumbar paralysis, the money donated by teachers and students is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

After spending all the savings and donations, the hospital, which was really powerless, had to send a notice to go home for recuperation. As for whether the old man's son can regain his health, the doctor in the hospital replied to the old man that he should believe in miracles!

I also understand that it is almost a luxury for a rural person to find justice and help in that kind of big city. The old man could only silently carry the pride of his family, and now the burden of this family has returned to the village. Because the old man's other two sons are not married at present, and they are also working at construction sites in the capital. Therefore, the burden of taking care of this paralyzed son was all on the old couple.

Looking at this old man who was less than fifty years old but looked like he was sixty years old with white hair, Wu Dao not only had a surge of anger in his heart, but also had deep admiration. Oh, yes! His son was supposed to be a hero, but this is what happened to this hero. To say that there is no justice in society, or is it something else's fault?

At this time, Wu Dao understood why when he went down the mountain, when the old man saw him, he would show that kind of expression that wanted to speak and stopped. It turned out that he thought of his own son, who was originally young and high-spirited. Now because of a momentary heroic act, it has become the heaviest burden on this family.

Blame the son for being too reckless and heroic? The kind old man really can't say it, but being a hero in exchange for such an end undoubtedly makes this rural couple feel a kind of grief and indignation with words of suffering.

Just as the old man was talking about the misfortune of the family with some grief and indignation, the two of them clearly heard the sound of the dishes breaking in the room where the woman had entered with breakfast.

Soon a young voice shouted: "I don't eat, I lie here every day, it's better to let me die sooner." ”

Then came the woman's inaudible persuasion, and the sound of weeping that was clearer than just words. Realizing that this may also be the reason why he went down the mountain and ran into the old man alone without touching others. Wu Dao has to take care of this matter no matter what!

Without asking the old man's meaning, Wu Dao walked out of the backyard without saying a word, and the old man originally wanted to stop it, but in the end he followed with a sigh. When Wu Dao walked into this not spacious room, he saw a thin young man lying on the bed with tears on his face, his eyes were a little floating and he didn't know what he was thinking.

As for the mother who didn't talk much but always gave silently, she was wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes while cleaning up the broken bowls on the ground. After looking at the layout of the room, Wu Dao found that this young man was almost unable to take care of himself in the current situation, and the toilet in the room undoubtedly explained everything.

Maybe it was because he saw that there was suddenly a stranger in the room, and the young man who was still crying suddenly shouted at Wu Dao with some emotion: "What do you see, haven't you seen a cripple?" Get the hell out of here! ”

The young man's rude roar seemed to sting the old man who followed him, the same with tears in his eyes. Just as he was about to step forward and slap this son, Wu Dao stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "Uncle, you don't need to be angry." In fact, I think it is undoubtedly a sadness that you have such a son.

A person who has lost hope in the future is not interesting to live even if he is not crippled. At first, I heard your father say that you were a college student and a hero who saved people, but now it seems that I don't see a hero in you, just a self-defeating cynical waste. A waste who can't see the sadness of his parents and pays silently, and is screaming to die. ”

I don't understand why Wu Dao, who seemed polite and sensible just now, insulted his son so much, and the old man was undoubtedly a little angry. But when Wu Dao deliberately gestured to him not to speak, and at the same time pointed to his son who was scolded and couldn't turn around. The old man seemed to understand that the young man did not seem to really scold his son, but deliberately enlightened him.

During this time, the old man who was disturbed by his son's sluggish mood also hoped that Wu Dao, a strange young man, could really wake up his son. In fact, for them, their son is still their son even if he is paralyzed.

Even if there will be no miracle as the doctor said, as long as the son can accept this reality and live strongly, they will be willing to work hard. Because, this is the unique quality of silent dedication of Chinese parents. Even the woman who was wiping away her tears was stopped by the old man when she was about to speak. Maybe they can't persuade their son who has suicidal thoughts, but the sudden appearance of a peer as old as his son may not have an effect!
