Chapter Eighty-Eight: God Has Appeared
When the white red fish returned to the village, the sun was already setting, and a round of red sun hung obliquely in the sky, and the whole village was dyed red. It's like a beautiful oil painting.
As soon as Bai Hongyu entered the village, someone told him that someone from his house had come to his house, and he was still driving a car.
Bai Hongyu was a little puzzled, and said that he didn't have such relatives and friends. How could there be a noble person coming?
When he walked into the house, the big yellow dog pestered him and wagged his tail vigorously.
Voices burst into the room.
Bai Hongyu shouted, old woman, who is coming.
Mao 18 walked out of the room, and in the sunset, both of them were stunned.
Mao Shibai sighed, it is really not easy to be a person, and his hair is gray when he is not yet fifty years old.
Bai Hongyu was surprised because there was a heroic young man standing in front of him.
Mao 18 hurriedly greeted and said, my name is Mao 18, and I came to interview you.
With a wary look on his face, Bai Hongyu said, I don't know you, is there anything wrong with you.
At this time, Shilan helped the old lady out.
Bai Hongyu's face was full of surprise, and he pointed to the old lady and said, "You ......
He couldn't believe how the old lady could go to the ground, could it be that God had appeared.
Wang He smiled and said, old man, I am saved, Mao 18 gave me a needle, and I can actually go to the ground.
Bai Hongyu stared at Mao Eighteen, and there were tears in his eyes.
walked two steps to Mao Eighteen's side, took Mao Eighteen's hand and said, thank you, you are my great benefactor.
Mao Shibai smiled and said, where is this, I just know a little bit of Chinese medicine, and it is purely God's will to cure it.
Bai Hongyu was still holding the fritters in his hand, and said with some embarrassment, that, you wait, I will gather some wine and food, which is my thanks.
Mao 18 glanced at Shi Lan, and Shi Lan said, no need, if you can afford us, eat what we brought.
Shilan said and walked out, saying that it was strange that the big yellow dog that was barking and biting just now stopped barking and wagged its tail.
Bai Hongyu and Mao 18 walked into the house, Mao 18 took out the cigarette and handed it over, Bai Hongyu took the cigarette, put it under his nose and smelled it, saying, how many years, I have forgotten the taste of this smoke, said and lit it, took a hard breath, squinted my eyes, and enjoyed this mellow.
Shilan walked in with a lot of things, roast chicken, duck, all kinds of cooked food, and a bottle of wine.
Bai Hongyu was a little embarrassed and said, look, when you get to our house, you will still break the bank.
A child followed by Shilan, probably tempted by the fragrance of roast chicken, and saliva was already flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Bai Hongyu said, go, call Zhang Si and Wang Liu.
The child refused to go. The white red fish ripped off a piece of chicken leg and handed it over.
The child took it with his dirty hand, took a beautiful bite, and ran out in agreement.
Bai Hongyu said, I don't dare to eat good things alone, those two are my good friends, and they are also the head of this village, let them come and taste them.
Mao 18 nodded in agreement.
After a while, two people came outside, one tall but quite thin, and the other short and fat.
Bai Hongyu introduced Mao Eighteen and said that the tall one was Zhang Si, and the short one was called Wang Liu.
One is a clerk and the other is a militia company commander.
Shilan had already placed the dark round table in the center of the room, and the food and drinks had been arranged.
Bai Hongyu said, today a noble person came to the door and cured my wife's illness, I will first give this little brother a cup.
The cup in the countryside is big, and there are basically more than three taels in a cup, and the white and red fish will dry the cup in one bite. Say, good wine.
Although Mao Shibai doesn't like to drink, he still has a lot of alcohol, and he didn't lie down after drinking in the army for a day and a night, and finally fell into the nickname of a wine barrel.
Mao 18 also dried the wine and said, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate.
Zhang Si began to toast and said, if you don't dislike us being poor here, you can do it with me.
After saying that, the two of them touched the cup and dried.
Before Mao Eighteen could eat a mouthful of food, Wang Liu raised his glass again and said, Come, I also respect you. Saying that, they touched it, and the two of them did it again.
There was no bottle of wine left, and Mao Shibai asked Shilan to drive the car over and bring all the wine in the car.
Shilan stood still because Shilan was afraid that Mao Eighteen would drink too much.
Mao 18 said, happy today, go get it.
Shilan went out a little reluctantly.
After a while, after the sound of the car motor stopped, Shilan took two more bottles of wine and put them on the table.
Bai Hongyu not only admires Mao Eighteen's amount of alcohol, but also the ** who can drink are bold people, which is the experience of Bai Hongyu.
Bai Hongyu was not polite, poured the wine glass again, and said, "Let's toast you again."
Mao Eighteen drank it again for the fourth cup, which was already more than a catty.
After a pound of liquor, if there is not a amount of alcohol, then something is going to happen.
Shilan came to stop him and said, I'll drink it for him.
Bai Hongyu glanced at Shilan and said, yes, two glasses of wine are counted as one glass.
Shilan was a little embarrassed. Mao Shibai waved his hand and motioned for Shilan to sit aside. Mao Shibai vaguely felt that Bai Hongyu was not really thanking himself, as if he was taking revenge. What is this for?
At this time, Wang He spoke, it's almost enough, your eyes are really confused, and you can't tell the difference between true and false bodhisattvas.
Bai Hongyu took out a cigarette from the cigarette box in front of Mao Eighteen, lit it, squinted at Mao Eighteen, and said in a cold tone, asking, let's be honest.
Mao Eighteen was taken aback in his heart, but he calmed down in an instant and said, what the truth.
What are you doing here, it is to treat the disease and deliver food, now there is no free lunch in this society, you must have a plan.
One sentence made Mao Shibai a little speechless, not knowing how to speak.
Let's say it directly, the white red fish must be opposed, but what can you say if you don't say it directly.
Shilan saw that Mao Shibai didn't speak, so he took the initiative and said, we came here to help the villagers take a road, you see that the road in the village is too bad, and it is not convenient to go out, doesn't the government keep saying that if you want to get rich, you must build a road.
Bai Hongyu smiled and said, pull it down, you can do things that the government doesn't care about, you are sick.
You must have taken a fancy to something on our mountain, and you want to change it with us by building a road, so you don't have to think about it, let's go. Although we are poor here, we live comfortably with green mountains and clear waters, and we want to get this and that here and there, and lose all the things of our ancestors, but no.
Mao Eighteen looked at Bai Hongyu's somewhat flushed face and said, has someone been here before.
This matter was a bit unexpected by Mao Eighteen, and if it was not clarified, it seemed that the next negotiations would not be able to proceed.
