Chapter 203: The Ambition of the Fool

"Yours alone? What does this mean? "I'm a little confused.

"That's what it means." Appi handed over a booklet, needless to say that this thing is not uncommon for me, this is a family tree, but this family tree is a little different, this family tree records the birth and death of everyone in this family, as well as a detailed introduction to the disease, at first glance it does not want to be a family tree, but like a family medical record. The names on this are also interesting, a household in Pinan Village, a C-wife in Pinan Village, these so-called symbols seem to be the names of this family.

"This is your family's genealogy? Why don't they have names? Is that the name of your family? I asked.

"People in our family don't need names." Appi said as he lifted his quilt, and under the quilt were a pair of twisted legs, without any leg features, which were the marks of multiple fractures.

"Your legs—" I didn't finish, for fear of poking him in the heart.

"It's been like this since I was a child, even a small bump can cause a fracture, and in medicine this is called..."

"Osteomalacia." Uncle Lu said that Uncle Lu has always been very knowledgeable in these aspects.

I also know a little about this hypochondriasis. Osteomalacia, also known as rickets, that is, vitamin D deficiency rickets, is a systemic, chronic, and nutritional disease characterized by bone lesions due to insufficient vitamin D in infants, children, and adolescents, which causes calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders. The main characteristics are calcification of the long diaphyseal cartilage plates and bone tissue, and vitamin D deficiency leads to calcification of mature bones.

I've also seen quite a few people with hypochondriasis. Most of them are the same as Api, with thin bodies and deformed bones, but now that the incidence of osteomalacia is not so high, Api's situation may be just an exception.

"You look like this... It's going to be hard..."I don't know what to say, and I'm afraid I'll make Api unhappy if I say the wrong thing.

"Difficult? Hard? These two words are not enough to describe our family, and our family has no exceptions, all of them are burdened by this disease, and none of them have died well. ”

"Your family—" Uncle Lu stopped in the middle of asking. Because the gaze cast by Api was full of resentment.

"That's right. God, he must be blind! None of our family has been spared for generations, and all of them have contracted this strange disease. At that time, my ancestors were building a village. It's called Pinan Village. We have plenty of food and clothing. We don't seek to be rich and rich, and live like a paradise. But the times do not tolerate people, and life is getting more and more difficult. By the time of the Qing Dynasty, the fields began to be out of business, and all the adult men went out to work, but one year they returned to their hometowns to find that the village on which they lived was gone. ”

"Gone?!" I exclaimed.

"That's right, gone, without warning, a village, a whole family is gone, and in this land, a small village is quietly gone. His wife, children, and parents are gone. The men who came back from working couldn't accept it, and they had to find their village, no matter how many generations. It was from that time that the people of the remaining Pinan village scattered all over the world, fantasizing that their wives and children must have migrated to another paradise. That place must be somewhere in this corner of the Chinese land, but after many generations, they have not found their family, nor have they found Pinan Village. I don't know when the remaining people in Pinan Village began to suffer from this strange disease, they began to have weakness in their limbs, their children were also deformed, they all died very early, and there were almost no people like me who could live to such a big age. Therefore, many people on the family tree have no names, because their lives are so short that they can't even remember their parents' names. In this vicious circle, the survival rate of the children is getting lower and lower, and now, our family is left in Pinan Village. ”

"You're the only one?" I asked.

"Yes, my parents, also patients with hypochondriasis, our family has lived here for as long as I can remember, we no longer have the ability to run around, the fallen leaves return to the roots, my father said, sooner or later our family of three will also turn into a handful of loess on this land. We are like fools who move mountains, stupidly guarding this place. ”

"Your family of three has been living in a garbage dump?" Sister Wang Na asked.

"No one is born living in a dump, and it used to be a nice place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers, but then the developers took a fancy to buy our land. Can we sell it? No! Here are all my ancestors, and here are the traces of those missing ancestors, what if they come back one day?! Appi said excitedly. But the developers were all cannibals who didn't spit out bones, they wouldn't take care of three people with disabilities, and they wouldn't recognize a village that only existed in our mouths, so late that night, our house was on fire, and I was only a teenager at the time. Do you know what it feels like to be on fire? Do you know how much the beams weigh on your body? Can you relate to that, you wake up surrounded by the ruins of the fire, covered in scars from broken bones, and your parents have burned two charcoals on top of you to protect you. ”

"Huh?!" Sister Wang Na exclaimed, obviously stunned by the scene described by Ah Pi, who was not affected and continued.

"I'll never forget when I pushed my mother's body away, and she was exactly like a piece of charcoal, and at the slightest touch I broke her in half. I pushed my father away again, and he had broken into several pieces, for he was clinging to the box where our family tree was kept. I dragged myself out of the house, I saw a team of police, I shouted for help, but no one, no one came back to save me! I dragged the box like that and climbed into the woods next to it, and I didn't dare look at my legs, the slag of broken bones pierced the skin and poked everywhere. Appi said.

"How did you survive?" Uncle Lu asked, this Zheng Zheng iron man also had red eyes at this time, I am afraid that Appi's experience is even more cruel than the harshest training that Uncle has ever experienced.

"How did you survive? Tree bark, rats, grass roots, rain, I have thought countless times that I want to die, but when I think that my parents died for me, I want to live, even if it is to see the world more on their behalf. Appi said movingly.

"Then why has this become a garbage dump again?" I asked.

"I don't know, I heard that the developer was also a liar, and he ran away with a lot of money, and the project didn't start at all, and several big officials were punished for this, and I heard that the original garbage dump was no longer enough, so I moved here. Now it's fine, I have the capital to live again, and this garbage has become a resource for my survival. There was food, drink, use, money, and of course people. The living, and the dead. Appi said in disgust that it was clear that although he lived on this garbage dump, he never liked the place.

"You just picked up Xiao Nan in the garbage heap?" Sister Wang Na asked.

"Well, he was a milk doll at the time, and it took a lot of effort to feed him." Appi said.

"You not only picked up Xiao Nan, but also picked up a lot of treasures, right? Like that jewelry box? I asked, and the conversation was finally back on track, and who knew that Api shook his head.

"The box wasn't picked up in the garbage, it was dug out of the ground when I climbed into the mountains, and it was raining heavily, and the rain washed it out, revealing a corner, so I dug it up. I thought it would be an urn for my parents, but after a rain, my parents were washed away and nothing was left. Appi said.

"There were big loopholes in the country's previous demolition and relocation policy, and illegal forced evictions did hurt many people." Uncle Lu said with emotion.

"In my life, I have never seen anything, I am not reconciled, God is unfair to me, fortunately, I learned the computer by self-study, I tried my best to pull a network cable, I saw a lot of outside scenery, it was so beautiful." Api said unkindly.

"No wonder you always make some travel posts." I said, "The reason you're so rich is because you sold that valuable jewelry box, right?" I asked.

"Yes, at that time I met a girl, she said that the box was very beautiful, asked me how much money I was willing to sell, I said that I looked like this is useless to ask for money, I asked her to help me pull a network cable, the girl was very trustworthy, helped me install broadband, and paid the Internet bill for a long time. She doesn't have any dislike for me, and that's a lot like you. Appi said.

"How much more do you know about that jewelry box?" I asked.

"I haven't studied it, but I heard the girl mutter, saying what kind of princess's funeral goods, and I don't know anything else." Appi said.

"It seems that we need to check the name of the installation of this network cable, and Api should not have an ID card, and there is no way to handle it." I told Sister Wang Na, and Sister Wang Na nodded.

"I'm back in the car and my laptop is in the car." Sister Wang Na said and turned around and walked out.

"Appi, thank you for your cooperation, I hope you can keep today's incident confidential, and..." I took out a business card and handed it over, "This is my business card." ”

"I don't accept handouts." Appi said proudly.

"It's not charity, I know a lot of people who make websites, the quality and quality of your posts are already very good, don't waste your energy on that small website, I can arrange a job for you, if you want, of course, Xiao Nan can also go to school." I said lightly, trying to keep the tone as calm as possible.

"I—" Appi took the business card tremblingly, "Thank you..."

I turned around and walked out the door and met Sister Wang Na, who was rushing back.

"Yin Yin, I found out, the account name of that broadband is, Jiang Bingbing." (To be continued......)
