Chapter 160: Where is the Heart?
The iron abacus is gone, and it is so firm and unhesitating! This can't help but remind Lao Balu of the scene when Xiao Zhuge left, what he saw was just a back, although that back was hesitant, but it was just a short stop of emotion, what was left? Despair? Hate goodbye? Or are you tired of the world? What is he desperate for? Can't see the end of the road? Hate something else? An endless never-ending enemy, the insidious viciousness of the enemy and our incompetence? He is cultivated, and the bookish little Zhuge is full of economy, and it is inevitable that some books are angry, and the weak and elegant make him lose the courage to face life after all the ups and downs?
Lao Balu glanced at Niu Er standing beside him, his pale face was still rolling beads of sweat, but his waist was straight, his eyes were firm, and he had a spirit that could not be defeated or crushed! He is a cow, a bull who really fights in the face of difficulties! Even if you lie down, I want you to respect me for three points, and let you succumb to my horns in front of my fighting spirit, Li Changji is the best example! Such a bull is a tragic bull, a bull god who will get up as long as he has a breath!
Second master. Lao Balu called Niu Er, who was standing beside him.
What's wrong, Eighth Master? Niu Er replied.
Now is the time, I want to tell you something, this matter is going to have a showdown with you sooner or later. Lao Balu said.
You want to talk about Xiao Zhuge right? Niu Er said unhurriedly, and there was no surprise in his words!
Lao Balu glanced at Niu Er again, and stared at Niu Er in surprise for a while before saying, this matter has been swallowed back to my mouth several times, and I never had the courage to say it! I know how you two feel. That's a lifelong brother who crawled out of the pile of dead people with kisses! You are seriously ill and have not recovered. I'm really afraid I'm hurting your heart!
Eighth Master. Don't want your mother-in-law's mother, hurry up, you just say that he is okay, just say something! Niu Er is a little impatient!
He's fine, he's fine, he just left without saying a word, and I can't persuade him to come back! Lao Balu looked at Niu Er and said.
Oh, it's good to be alive! Niu Er breathed a deep sigh of relief and said again. Eighth master, when you talk to me Niu Er in the future, you will say bluntly, you said that you were not sensational just now, and my Niu Er can't see these things the most! I haven't been able to see him, I've been muttering about it for a long time, and the reason why you don't say it, I thought something really happened to him! Eighth Master, do you know what I was thinking just now?
Lao Balu blinked his eyes and did not answer Niu Er's words. Just looked at Niu Er suspiciously, meaning to say. What are you thinking?
I'm thinking, if something really happens to Xiao Zhuge and I finish the iron abacus incident, you won't even see me! Niu Er said very clearly.
When Niu Er said the last sentence, Lao Balu couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart! Suddenly, Lao Balu was shocked by this feeling, and then asked himself, what's wrong with me? Why am I like this? Oh, the feelings! Xiao Zhuge is gone, his heart is always lost, and he always inadvertently Xiao Zhuge will collapse out and appear in front of him! There is only one Niu Er left around, this is his only thought, whenever I see him, that lost thought, I will comfort a lot, I am very relieved! Just like what Niu Er said just now, their relationship is higher than a qiē, and it cannot be replaced by any emotion, including my old eight roads!
Okay, I made a note of it! If you are a brother, you have to have a intestine to the end, and you will never bend! Lao Balu said! Then, Lao Balu explained the detailed situation to Niu Er in detail.
After Lao Balu finished speaking, Niu Er turned around and looked at the west, which was the direction of the Black Mountain Grand Canyon! In Niu Er's mind, the scenes of the past flashed, the two figures were inseparable, and the Grand Canyon of Montenegro was in full view! And now, only single and lonely figures are left......
Xiao Zhuge , where are you?
A few people stand on the high black mountain cave, the cool breeze is blowing, the continuous peaks rise and fall, the vertical and horizontal ravines, the winding mountain road, although it is late autumn, but it can not stop the emerald green of the mountain, constituting a magnificent mountain map!
Hahaha! Suddenly, Niu Er looked up to the sky and laughed!
Lao Balu and Lao Feng, as well as the two militiamen, were stunned by his cold laughter, and they didn't know why he was laughing! Everyone was looking at him in amazement.
You see. Niu Er said, pointing to the figure at his feet and said, what do you think this is?
What others see is the shadow of Niu Er, only Lao Balu understands the meaning of Niu Er, he is saying, as long as I am here, will the shadow not be there?
As long as I'm here, will the shadow be gone? Lao Balu boldly said this sentence!
Everyone present suddenly realized and laughed!
Lao Balu instructed the two militiamen to escort Niu Er home, just recuperate at home, there are many people in the family, and there is a good care, so that the doctor can often go to the house to see, and have more contact with the village girl, a pair of wild mandarin ducks should also be reunited, and the final destination is still home!
The old Eighth Road's house was bustling, and the mill and a few militiamen were digging the foundation and smashing the rammer. Xiaoyu's mother and Shidan's mother are busy on the stove, the village girl had to clean up the housework, but was stopped by Xiaoyu's mother, you tender hands, or flip through the books to teach the children, this future family work has ours, how can you use it!
The village girl and Xiaoyu Shidan set up a table on the west side of the courtyard, and the village girl brought paper and pens, and said to Xiaoyu and Shidan, if you want to learn culture well, you must first lay a good foundation, this foundation is like the base for building a house, if you can't build a house, the house you build is not solid, so what is the foundation we want to learn?
Xiaoyu and Shi Dan blinked their eyes, looking at each other and wondering what the village girl was talking about. When Xiao Zhuge taught them, he directly taught poetry, and told the origin, characters, and background of each poem as the Tao, just like telling a story. But what the village aunt said today is very fresh, they have never heard it, and they don't know what the village aunt wants to talk about.
The village girl said to the two children, this foundation is twenty-six letters, it is like a walking stick, a teacher who does not speak, learn it, we can overcome any difficulties by ourselves. You don't need a teacher to teach you. can achieve the ability to learn without a teacher. You two said, "Do you want to learn?"
As soon as the two little guys heard the foundation of the village girl, they were as powerful as the magic wand that the teacher said, and they jumped up in the yard with joy, and their mouths were still shouting, oh, oh, oh. We're going to learn supernatural powers, we're going to learn supernatural powers!
The rammer and the militia heard the child's shout, and they leaned back and fell back one by one laughing, and the mill said, these two guys in my family, when they say that they want to learn to read and write, it is like eating honey, which is more energetic than doing anything!
At this time, one of the militiamen answered, "How good is this, look at our family." It's almost as good as climbing a tree and digging out a bird's egg. If he is allowed to read and write, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky!
After hearing this, Xiaoyu's mother hurriedly took over the conversation and said, I'm not boasting, whose children are not naughty, but our children will be naughty, as soon as they say that they will learn to read and write, they will not make trouble, and they will not make trouble when they say that they will learn their skills, and they will do what adults want to do, do you think this child is strange?
If it weren't for the prodigy, you see which child on the street is as stable as your Xiaoyu and stone eggs, I haven't seen people running crazy on the street, always thinking about some adult things, and it's strange that I can't grow up! Said the militia.
The words of the militia made Xiaoyu's mother and Shidan's mother's family happy, and their hearts bloomed!
While everyone was talking and laughing, three people came in at the street gate, two militiamen, one on the left and one on the right, and Niu Er in the middle. At this time, it was noon, the late autumn sun was not scorching, but Niu Er was sweating, the village girl and the two children patronized and studied, and they didn't see Niu Er and them come in.
They hurriedly put down the work in their hands and ran over, but before they could get closer, they saw Niu Er's legs weak and he sat on the ground!
The village girl screamed, and hurriedly ran forward to help Niu Er, but she was already carried up by the mill and the militia, and came to the house and put it on the kang! The two militiamen who came back with Niu Er didn't dare to slack off, turned around and ran to the headquarters to call the doctor. The village girl hurriedly fetched a basin of face washing water, brought it to the house, wet the towel, and wiped the sweat on Niu Er's face. Xiaoyu's mother poured a bowl of boiling water, took a small spoon, handed it to the village girl and said, feed him some water slowly, be careful to scald! He's tired, he's already weak, and he can't tell how far he's run, which is really fatal! What can you say this is?
Shut your foul mouth! There is no one to speak, and he is blind and bald! Nianzi looked at Xiaoyu's mother and spoke, and glanced at the village aunt with her eyes, which means to tell Xiaoyu's mother, the village aunt is here, be careful when you speak! Xiaoyu's mother knew that she was at a loss, so she quickly closed her mouth and stopped talking!
Xiaoyu and Shidan didn't care about studying, so they ran into the house, sat next to the village girl, and looked at their master anxiously!
Niu Er is indeed tired, for the sake of the iron abacus, the toss of this way, the body is already weak, even anxious and tired, as soon as he enters the house, he no longer has the strength to stand!
Nianzi said to Xiaoyu's mother, hurry up and slaughter two chickens to stew again, and make up for the second master! Shi Dan Mom, you go and clean up the lunch at noon, let everyone eat first, there are village girls here to take care of it, and it's not a matter to surround here!
The doctor took Niu Er's body temperature, a little low-grade fever, an injection, and a pulse, and said to the miller, you must remember, even if the sky falls, don't let it do strenuous exercise, if so, you know what the consequences will be! I'll prescribe some medicine for him, wait for him to wake up and eat once, three times a day, eat small and frequent meals, and keep up with nutrition, he is asleep now, don't disturb him, I'll come back in the afternoon to take a look, observe and observe first!
The doctor is gone. It so happened that the stone went to purchase bricks and stones and came back, and the mill beckoned everyone to hurry up and eat, and only the village girl was left alone in the house to watch Niu Er cry! Xiaoyu's mother made a bowl of rice, took a flatbread, filled half a bowl of vegetables, and came to the house.
Come, take it. Xiaoyu's mother handed the dishes and chopsticks to the village girl who was still in tears while sitting on the kang and said.
Sister, eat, I'm not hungry. The village girl wiped her tears and said.
Look at you stupid girl, you are worried when you can't see people, and you are worried when this person is in front of you, you won't be happy?! This Niu Er is a strong person, he doesn't like people who droop their faces and wipe their tears all day long, even if it is a big thing, he must hold it in his stomach, and he must always have a smile on his face! You haven't made it through the door yet, so it's best not to upset him! We know your feelings, but he can't do it, right? I tell you, when you finish worshipping with him, you will enter the cave room. You just cry all day long and wipe your tears, don't be afraid of him! If he is not happy. Sister is in charge of you. I'm going to see what he can do to you! Come, eat first, sister will accompany you!
The village girl looked at the smiling Xiaoyu mother, listening to what she said, it made sense, after all, they had been together for a long time, and they knew everyone's temperament and temperament. Bitter medicine can cure diseases, and words can untie knots. Xiaoyu's mother's words are indeed very reasonable, he explained Niu Er's temperament very thoroughly, and he was most reluctant to see others crying and wiping away tears. As his wife, I can't show it like this in front of him, my distress must be revealed in action, and I must not replace it with tears, which will not only hurt him, but also hurt myself, and the two ends will not be good! If I'm really good for him, I'll do what Xiaoyu's mother said. Be strong!
The village girl wiped away her tears and took the bowl handed over by Xiaoyu's mother. He looked at her gratefully.
Hey, that's it! To say, this Niu Er is indeed not easy in this life, and he really needs a woman to hurt and take care of him; But what, your village aunt has also suffered a lot in her life, for the sake of her beloved man, she did not hesitate to endure humiliation, not only defended the dignity of women, but also looked forward to the day when they met, this is the will of God, but also the result of your efforts! For this, we have to be happy too, right? Xiaoyu's mother said this authentically! Even after she finished speaking, she couldn't believe that she said it herself! After she finished speaking, she looked at the village girl and said, what did I say?
The village aunt was really moved by the bold and kind words of the big sister in front of her, and hurriedly said, thank you sister for praising us so much, I thank you for Niu Er!
Look at you stupid girl, you're polite to your sister! Xiaoyu's mother said.
After everyone finished eating, the mill said, I see, today is special, Niu Er needs to rest, let's rest in the afternoon, and we will do it again tomorrow, not bad for half a day. The stone is ready, and it will dry quickly. Everyone said okay!
Team Leader Xu and Director Hao led the militia and hurried back to the headquarters. Before the two of them entered the conference room, they heard someone in the conference room say, yes, this is the way it is, please consider my request carefully, I am waiting for your reply!
As soon as Team Leader Xu and Director Hao heard it, they knew that it was the voice of the party representative, he was on the phone, and he was reporting something to the superior leaders. Although the two of them only heard a tail, they still heard a little bit of catty from the "request" and "echo"! He's typing the resignation report, he wants to slip away, he wants to escape, he wants to leave and come out of the shell!
Team Leader Xu and Director Hao came in as soon as they pushed the door, and the party representative hurriedly asked, how are you doing, how are you ....... The sudden appearance of the two of them, the party representative was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to say, so he said hesitantly.
What's the matter, the superior leader is calling? Any important instructions? Team Leader Xu said as he spoke, put the flashlight on the table, and picked up the towel on the face plate holder to wipe his face.
No, I'm typing a resignation report, and I'm asking to be transferred out of here! The party representative said clearly.
Why? Why? Team Leader Xu asked.
Why? The party representative raised the pronunciation of these three words a little high, as if he was going to ask a question, but then softened his tone and said, The work is nearing the end, I have completed my mission, and I should go back!
No, now is the time when you are needed the most, are you holding back? You know the situation here very well, and the current work is not the end, but the most critical moment of battle, do you think it is appropriate for you to leave at this juncture? Team Leader Xu said.
I have been engaged in the whole work, and at the beginning of the struggle, what I wanted was to boost morale. A large number of bandits have been eliminated, the remnants of the Kuomintang have been crushed by us, and the landlords and bullies have also been suppressed by us. The few remaining remnants are already grasshoppers after autumn, and the end is about to end, so what's the use of me saying I'm still here? said the party representative.
The hardest times are over! However, the commissioner is still on the run, the inner ghost is still hiding in the shadows, you and I are both participants and witnesses of this operation, the two biggest culprits have not yet been punished, how can you say where to go? Sending the Buddha to the West, we Communists have always strived for perfection, and at this most critical moment, I say something that should not be said, aren't you fleeing from the battle? Team Leader Xu is pressing step by step!
What are you talking about? How can this be said to be an escape? When the party representative heard this word, he seemed to be greatly insulted, and his voice raised an octave and said, You are the best envoy sent from above, please pay attention to your words, your words must match your position!
Why are you so loud? Reason is not high, as an excellent political worker, you have a very high cultivation and self-cultivation, and I am not the way to speak, how can you say something that does not go well as you? ! As soon as Team Leader Xu saw the face of the inner ghost, he was angry! He was so angry that he almost said the sentence "You are seriously suspicious"! But reason still made him swallow the words!
Okay, okay, everyone don't quarrel, it's all their own family, if there is anything you can't say to sit down and talk well! The old secretary and the old Feng haven't come back yet, they are not here, what use do you say you are talking about here! Director Hao saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, each time louder than the other, if the militia heard it, how bad the impact would be! So I hurriedly persuaded you, the party representative, you are too, if you want to transfer out of here, at least communicate with everyone in advance, don't say anything, just report directly to the superiors, and separate us, as if there is something between us, let the superior leaders think of us!
Who said I didn't say it, I said it a long time ago, but you keep saying shirk and don't take my words seriously! The party representative argued.
Isn't there always something going on, no matter what, you have to do things according to the procedure, at least there must be a process of discussion by the organizing committee! Director Hao said.
Something? When have you discussed something with me, you still have me as a party representative in your eyes! Discuss? You are clearly rejecting me, snubbing me, taking me to the high court, trying to drive people out, why do you want to fix me silently! The party representatives are a little out of control, and their voices are louder again!
It's messed up, it's all messed up! The voices of the three of them were mixed together, and they all began to slap the table and stare at each other!
Who is making a big noise in the conference room! At this moment, a loud voice appeared at the door!
Lao Balu and Lao Feng are back! (To be continued......)
