Chapter 24: Doubts

All this in the family, the master never mentioned it in front of Ning Xiaofan before his death, but he died in an accident this time, and the master's old father came to deal with the aftermath and learned from the old man.

Master's old father also said that in addition to the old lady's poor health, there is also a crippled younger brother who is lame and unable to take care of himself, and a wife who has always been very weak and cannot even have children.

Knowing the difficulties faced by his master's family, Ning Xiaofan had the idea of resigning, although his boredom with this high-risk industry was one of the reasons, and the most important reason was that he needed money and a new job with a high income. As far as he is concerned, only by getting a high-paying job can he better compensate his master's family.

Of course, Ning Xiaofan will not give up this job easily until he finds a new job. To this end, he made a special trip to find a wealthy businessman who had been helped by him. And the wealthy businessman also accepted his affection, promising that as long as Ning Xiaofan went to his company, he could get a high-paying job with a salary twice as high as his current income.

After getting the promise of the wealthy businessman, Ning Xiaofan did not hesitate to make a resignation report.

After Ning Xiaofan submitted his resignation report, the company did not treat him badly, and made up for three months' salary, adding up to more than 50,000 yuan. After getting the salary, Ning Xiaofan only kept the fraction and took a whole amount of 50,000 yuan, which was specially prepared to be sent to the master's family......

…………………………

The mountain scenic area in front of Shayin Mountain has been developed by tourism developers, and although the winding mountain road is winding and rugged, the road condition is not bad. At the foot of the mountain, there were a lot of wild rentals with cars, and after some bargaining, Ning Xiaofan got into a van that looked a little old.

Driving into the gate of the scenic spot, Ning Xiaofan also paid an additional 50 yuan ticket, which was the only way to enter the scenic area.

The van drove on the winding mountain road for about two hours, then drove off the winding mountain road in better condition and bumped on a broken mountain road for another half an hour, until the road ahead was no longer able to continue, and then the van stopped.

After Ning Xiaofan got out of the car, he saw the driver sticking his head out of the window and said: "Little brother, you walk more than ten miles along this mountain road, it is the back mountain, and when you get to the back mountain, you see a farmhouse called Taohuaxiang, there is a fork in the road, you turn to the fork on the left, turn over a mountain beam, and you can see a village, which is the Qinglin Village you are going to." ”

"Okay, I see, thank you, big brother."

"Well, you have to hurry, the fog is early today, and it will rain badly, and if it rains heavily, this mountain road will not be easy to walk."

After the driver reminded him again, he turned the car around and left.

More than ten miles of mountain road, said that it is not far away, but it also made Ning Xiaofan walk for more than an hour, as the driver pointed out, entering the back mountain, a house called "Peach Blossom Fragrance Farmhouse" came into view. On the left side of the property, there is indeed a fork in the road.

At the fork in the road, the mountain road becomes steeper, all the way up, up a mountain beam, and people can look down from a high place, and can already faintly see the village hidden in the shade of the mountain below.

There, it should be Qinglin Village.

Arriving at the destination soon, Ning Xiaofan was in a good mood, and after a short rest, he sped up his pace and walked towards the mountain below......

Qinglin Village, as the name suggests, the shade of the trees is quite dense, people are in high places, only a corner of the roof building can be faintly seen, after going down the mountain beam, not close to the place, the existence of the village can not be found at all.

Maybe it was because someone was coming, as soon as Ning Xiaofan walked near the village, he heard a sound of dogs barking, and then saw a few children running out after me, running in front of Ning Xiaofan, several children stopped, opened their eyes one by one, and looked at this stranger with curiosity.

"Uncle, which one are you looking for?" A child with a runny nose and a dirty look asked, quite polite.

"I'm looking for Wang Lingen, do you know where his home is?" Ning Xiaofan said with a smile.

"Wang Lingen, oh, I know, you are looking for Grandpa Lao Gen, he is at home, I will take you to ......"

After the child finished speaking, he ran towards the village, and as he ran, he shouted: "Grandpa Laogen, there is an uncle from the city looking for you......"

The snot child is quite eye-catching, and looking at Ning Xiaofan's dress, he judged that he was from the city.

Ning Xiaofan saw that the child was running fast, for fear of losing it, so he sped up his pace and followed, and the remaining children also jumped behind Ning Xiaofan, and there was an "oh" cry in his mouth, and he didn't know what was "oh"?

The village is not big, the houses and buildings of the whole village are still relatively scattered, at a glance, no more than 40 households, and most of the buildings are relatively old, or the earth walls and black tiles, or gray bricks and black tiles, and even a few are thatched houses, it seems that although the environment of Qinglin Village is quiet, but the economic conditions are very bad.

However, Ning Xiaofan still saw several well-repaired two-story buildings, one of which had white tiles on the exterior wall, which stood out among most of the old buildings, giving people a sense of standing out from the crowd, presumably one of the few wealthy families in the village.

To Ning Xiaofan's surprise, the kid who was running in front with a runny nose actually ran straight to the building with white tiles, and probed his brain towards the main entrance of the building, shouting in his mouth: "Grandpa Laogen, someone is looking for you." ”

The snotty child didn't shout a few times when he saw an old man with gray hair and a bit of energy come out of the door.

Ning Xiaofan took a look, wasn't that the master's old father, Old Man Wang?

"Mountain boy, which one do you say is looking for me?"

"An uncle, it seems to be from the city, oh, it's that uncle!" The snotty child stretched out his little hand and pointed at Ning Xiaofan, who was walking over.

"Master, it's me, Xiaofan, do you remember me?" The old man was in front, Ning Xiaofan said loudly in his mouth, and walked in front of the old man in three steps and two steps.

"Are you Xiaofan? What are you doing here? Old Man Wang's face changed slightly, and he seemed to be a little surprised by Ning Xiaofan's arrival.

"Master, I came all the way to visit you, are you okay?" Ning Xiaofan didn't notice Old Man Wang's expression, and stepped forward very enthusiastically to hold Old Man Wang's slightly rough hand.

"Oh, it turned out that I came to see me, I'm fine, quick, sit in the house, sit in the house, sit in the house, sit in the house......" Old man Wang glanced at Ning Xiaofan with a backpack on his back, showing a smile, and while leading Ning Xiaofan towards the door, he also shouted into the house: "Old woman, there is a guest coming, it is our son and apprentice who are here......"

With the shouting of the old man Wang, a fat old woman with a round face walked out of the door.

The old woman had never seen Ning Xiaofan, so she looked at him with some doubts, and then looked at Old Man Wang, and at this time, Old Man Wang gave her a very vague look.

The fat old woman didn't seem to understand the obscure eyes of Old Man Wang, she was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask Old Man Wang: "Old man, you just said that he is Yan Wazi's apprentice?" ”

"You are grandma, I'm Xiaofan, this time I'm here to visit your old man's house......" When Ning Xiaofan first met Master's old father, Old Man Wang, he called him Master, but he didn't know what Master's old mother should be called? No one taught him, so he just talked nonsense about a "grandmother", in his mind, the grandmother should be more comfortable than any grandmother, as long as the seniority is not bad.

However, as soon as Ning Xiaofan, the grandmother, spoke, the fat old woman seemed to be a little confused, and she didn't know how to respond? After all, the old man Wang and the fat old woman live in the mountains all the year round, so how do you know the seniority between the teacher and the inheritance.

Seeing that the old woman in his house was a little distracted, the old man Wang on the side hurriedly said: "Old woman, let me tell you, his name is Xiaofan, you haven't seen it before, and I only saw it this time when I went to Zhongchuan to deal with Yan Wazi's funeral." Don't forget, Xiaofan also paid a lot of money out of his own pocket to treat your back disease......"

Old man Wang winked at the fat old woman while introducing, this time, the fat old woman seemed to understand, "oh" and said: "It turned out to be Xiaofan, sit ...... in the house."

The fat old woman said in her mouth, and suddenly "ouch": "It's not good, my back hurts, Xiaofan, I have to go back to the room to rest, let our old man talk to you......"

When Ning Xiaofan heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to support the senior grandmother, and said with a worried face: "Senior grandma, are you okay, I'll help you go back to the house......"

Ning Xiaofan supported her grandmother, her face was also full of worry, but she was a little puzzled in her heart, when this grandmother came out just now, she was in a hurry, how could she say that the problem on her waist came?

Although Ning Xiaofan cares about this grandmother very much, he is not a wooden fish head, the grandmother looks red, and her complexion is not bad, I remember that when the master came to deal with the aftermath for the master, she said that the grandmother was in very bad health, and later called the master a few times, saying that the grandmother was hit by the loss of her son, and she was so sick that she couldn't even get out of bed, so why didn't she look like it at all? It's only been more than a week before and after, and an old man who can't get out of bed will have such spirit?

The more Ning Xiaofan thought about it, the more wrong it became, but it was difficult to ask, and with full of doubts, he sent his grandmother into the house, at this time, the old man Wang stretched out his hand and hugged his grandmother, and while motioning for Ning Xiaofan to sit in the living room, he helped the fat old woman into the house on the side of the living room.

While Old Man Wang helped the fat old woman into the house, Ning Xiaofan glanced at the living room he was in.

This living room is very spacious and well decorated, not only with complete appliances, but also a set of leather sofas and a mahogany coffee table in the center of the living room. Although the layout and furnishings of the living room are very rustic, I can feel that the economic conditions of the owner are not bad.

Looking at the scene in the living room, Ning Xiaofan's doubts in his heart were a little thicker, when he was holding the master's funeral, he heard Old Man Wang say in front of him more than once that the conditions at home were not good? What's going on at home? But there is almost no match between what the old man Wang said in front of him......
