Chapter 165: The Past
Xiangqin later heard Liu Ling say that the Liu family and the Duan family had reached a consensus that the Duan family would never mention "money" to them in the future, and of course the Liu family would also keep Duan Yongyuan's life-saving grace in mind, and they would also find an opportunity to repay Duan Yongyuan in the future.
It was supposed to be like this, but as soon as it was mixed up by Dou's, everything changed its taste. She's really like a-stirring stick, if she has to mess up a jar of clean water, she can disgust people to death!
Even if there was no instigation from Duan Erhua and Feng Lanhua behind the Dou family, the Dou family would not be at ease.
As we enter June, the days are getting hotter and hotter.
At this time, the stove could not be burned in Parsley's wooden house, and as soon as the stove was turned on, the heat surged, and the room gradually became dry, dry and unpleasantly hot.
Parsley cooks without the small stove in the house, but on the stove outside the wooden house.
It costs coal to burn the stove, and it costs firewood to burn the stove. Every household in the village has firewood, which is basically sun-dried grain poles and grain sticks. If parsley is not planted, there is no such thing. Of course, you can also use coal for the stove, but if you use crushed coal for the stove, you have to spend money to buy coal. Parsley was reluctant to spend this money, so she went out to collect firewood with a basket on her back every day.
Follow the road north of the intersection, and once you get out of the intersection, you will have to walk a few kilometers further north to see the next village.
On both sides of the middle road were endless fields of wheat, one row after the other.
On this road, you can see the trains whizzing by the railway to the east, and you can see the poplar ridge to the west.
Poplar Ridge is a group of mountains, and nine times out of ten, the mountains are filled with wild poplar trees. In fact, there are also wild poplar trees on the edge of the ridges in many crop fields, and there are the most poplar trees on the mountain range in this area, hence the name.
The road to Baiyangling is not easy to walk, and you can only pass it by going west along the ridge.
This kind of rugged and bumpy path, like those bicycles and tricycles, can't get in at all and can't work, and can only rely on a pair of people's legs.
In recent times, Parsley has spent an entire afternoon on Poplar Ridge.
Except for the time to collect firewood on the poplar ridge, it takes more than an hour for parsley to go back and forth.
When I went, Parsley carried an empty basket, which was relatively relaxed.
When she came back, she was tired, and the basket behind her was full of branches of different lengths and thicknesses, and this was the result of her afternoon.
She walked around and rested, and sometimes she couldn't go back until dark.
The road from Xiangqin to Baiyangling is relatively remote, and people come and go by car. No matter how complex the geographical environment is, how can anyone have a complicated heart? She acted alone, and there was no security.
In the past two days, Hong Cheng opened his mouth in front of her and chattered about this.
What he said was whimsical, and it was quite scary.
"What if you run into a bad guy? If someone kills you for money, leaving me alone, what do you say I should do? Where am I crying? Who am I crying to? ”
Parsley was impatient, "I asked you to go with me, but you didn't go, you don't want to go with me." If you don't go, I won't go, so who will collect firewood for me? ”
"Without firewood, we can burn coal." Hong Cheng said it as a matter of course.
Parsley gave him a blank look, "You think coal doesn't cost money?" ”
"If you don't want to pay, I'll give it to you." Hong Cheng is very generous, and he is not generous to everyone, of course, Parsley is an exception.
"Your money isn't money?" Parsley can't get used to Hong Cheng's extravagant appearance, but the money that shouldn't be spent outside is spent, and the money spent is unjustly spent.
Parsley isn't a miser either, she just wants to spend her money in the right place.
Now nothing is cheap in this area, even if it is a piece of honeycomb coal, it will have to take a long detour to be transported.
The day before yesterday, Xiangqin asked Hong Cheng to make a fire, and when she turned around, she saw Hong Cheng smashing the honeycomb coal and filling it into the stove hole.
I really don't know why he is so reluctant!
Although honeycomb coal is not a major expensive thing, but if it is smashed and filled into the stove hole like Hong Cheng, I am afraid that five pieces of honeycomb coal are not enough.
The small stove was filled with three pieces of honeycomb coal, which could burn for half a day.
Xiangqin insisted on going her own way, but insisted on going to Baiyangling to collect firewood.
Hong Cheng was really worried that something would happen to Parsley, that it would be one thing for her to meet bad people on the road, and that she would have an accident on the mountain.
What if Parsley accidentally stumbles, rolls down the mountain and falls and can't come back? And what if parsley is bitten by a poisonous snake that comes out of nowhere, what should I do on the spot?
The more Hong Cheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally compromised and went to Baiyangling with Parsley to collect firewood.
With Hong Cheng to share some, parsley is of course more relaxed. The two of them came back with a little firewood, and they could burn it for two or three days, and the parsley didn't have to go to Baiyangling every day.
Parsley dried the firewood in the sun and piled it all under the bed, because the space in the wooden house was limited, and there was only some space under the bed.
Taking out all the firewood, Parsley did not empty the basket, there were other things in the basket.
She brought the basket to Hong Cheng, "Can you eat these things?" ”
Hong Cheng stretched out his head and looked into the basket, there was a pile of fungus lying under the basket, and the fungus was quite fresh.
"Where did you pick it from?"
"Just in the woods."
When collecting firewood in Baiyangling, Hong Cheng and Parsley were separated, and he didn't know that Parsley had picked these fungus at first.
It rained a little two days ago, and the fungus was raised. Parsley saw these things on a few stumps of the Poplar Ridge, and felt that these wild fungus were quite fat and full, so she liked it very much, so she picked them back.
After all, this is something that grows on the outside, and parsley is not sure if these things are clean and can be eaten in people's mouths.
As soon as Hong Cheng heard Parsley say that she picked these fungus in the forest, she immediately felt that these things were unreliable.
"Throw it away, don't eat it."
Parsley rubs a fungus and likes this soft feel. But there was not much joy on her face, "Many trees on that mountain have been cut down, I don't know who did it." ”
The poplars on the Poplar Ridge are all wild, and the land is public, and it is not allowed to cut down any tree on the mountain privately, but there are still people who sneak up the mountain to cut down trees.
"If you catch them, you will definitely punish them!" Hong Cheng said, "It's not our turn to take care of this matter, let's just take care of our own affairs." ”
Parsley nodded, took the basket outside, and emptied all the fungus in the basket into the trash can.
As she was walking back, she saw a group of people coming from the other side of the culvert. She looked closely, and many of those people she knew.
Several people were clustered around a tricycle, almost all the way to push the tricycle, and there seemed to be a person lying on the tricycle.
Parsley immediately realized that something was wrong!
Her head went blank for a while, and when she came back to her senses, the basket in her hand had already fallen to the ground.
Before those people reached the intersection, she rushed over and looked closer, and the unconscious person lying on the tricycle turned out to be Duan Wen!
Duan Yongyuan and Duan Xiang were pushing in front of the tricycle, and Duan Wu and several other people in Duan Jiazhuang followed behind the tricycle. There were seven or eight people in front and back, and their faces were not very good.
Parsley tensed, "What's going on?" ”
Duan Yongyuan wiped the sweat from his head, and said breathlessly, "My grandfather has passed over!" ”
Parsley ran back with them, knowing that now was not the time to speak, so she closed her mouth and tensed her nerves.
When they arrived at the door of the clinic, a group of people stopped, and hurriedly carried Duan Wen off the tricycle, all the way to the clinic, and put him on the hospital bed.
Dr. Liu and Hong Cheng were both shocked, and Dr. Liu even reached out to help Duan Wen who was unconscious.
Dr. Liu also waved his hand to the others in the clinic, "You all go out and wait!" Don't block the door! ”
Hong Cheng took out the bench and gave it to Duan Yongyuan to sit on, and prepared a chair for Xiangqin alone.
Xiangqin seemed to be overly frightened, and her face was very abnormal, and she sat down for a while before relieving.
Hong Cheng sat beside her, holding her hand tightly, as if he wanted to lend her all the strength of his body.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the inside of the clinic, as if they were afraid that a flood beast would come out of it.
After Duan Yongyuan and the others eased up, Hong Cheng spoke, "Yongzi, what's the matter with your master?" ”
Duan Yongyuan's face palpitated, and his mind was still not stable at the moment, "He was working in the yard, and his whole person suddenly fainted!" After waking him up, he fainted again! ”
From his slightly trembling voice, Hong Cheng could tell how frightened he was.
"Is there something wrong with him?" Hong Cheng asked.
Duan Yongyuan shook his head, and his mind seemed to be involuntary, "My master has never been in such a situation before. ”
If nothing else, Hong Cheng didn't ask much.
What exactly happened to Duan Wen is uncertain. But it is impossible for a good person to faint for no reason, it is one thing for Duan Wen to be old, and it is not impossible for it to be triggered by something else.
Duan Wu sighed at this time, "If you leave your family and suffer from it, you can live a long life and be short of breath!" ”
Xiangqin glanced at it, but did not find Duan Qiuping and Dou Shi among them, so she asked, "Why didn't my mother and my grandmother come over?" ”
"Hold back." Duan Yongyuan replied angrily.
As long as they thought of Duan Qiuping and Dou's mother, no one was in a good mood.
Duan Qiuping and Dou Shi came belatedly, glanced around, and saw that there was no place to sit, and no one was even willing to give them a seat.
The two of them went to the wooden house, but were stopped by Hong Cheng, "Don't go to my house!" ”R1152
