When Meng Qing and Jiang Zhilian ran to the emergency room, the door just opened.

The doctor walked out, took off his mask, wrinkled his brows and said to Yao Xiaowang: "The child is gone, you can go in and take a look!" ”

Yao Xiaowang nodded calmly, but the hand in his sleeve was trembling.

He raised his head blankly, and his gaze turned around before he fixed on Jiang Zhilian's face, "Will you accompany me in?" ”

"Good ......" Jiang Zhilian followed Yao Xiaowang and walked into the emergency room together.

Nurses are cleaning up medicines and sorting out first-aid equipment.

When they saw someone enter, they exited the room.

As he was leaving, one of the nurses reminded, "Give you five minutes, and you'll have to use this room later." ”

Jiang Zhilian said a word with difficulty, "Okay." ”

Yao Anan was lying on the emergency table, looking very thin.

She had no external injuries and was not bleeding. It's just that there is no trace of blood on his face, and he looks extremely pale.

Yao Xiaowang took three steps forward and stopped at a distance of one meter from the emergency table.

Jiang Zhilian thought that he would cry bitterly and say something to his daughter.

But he was calmly silent, without tears, without opening his mouth to say a word.

The little girl was still tied with the braided braids that Jiang Zhilian tied to her the day before, tossed all night, and experienced another rescue, the braids had been scattered and a little messy.

The chaos made Jiang Zhilian's heart sour for a while.

Yao Xiaowang stood like this for five minutes, and never took his eyes off his daughter for a second.

A nurse walked to the door and looked inside, she was supposed to urge her, but she couldn't bear it and retreated again.

"Yao Xiaowang ......," Jiang Zhilian called softly.

Yao Xiaowang shook his body for a moment, slowly stepped forward, came to his daughter's side, took out a pen from her clothes, and put it in his pocket.

"You-" Yao Xiaowang bit his lip vigorously before continuing: "You sing An An a song!" Just the little swallow she taught you. She loves this song, you send her ...... I didn't learn to ......."

Jiang Zhilian's heart was stuffy, and her throat and eyes were also uncomfortable.

However, she still suppressed her emotions and sang in a low voice: "Little Swallow, wearing flower clothes, come here every spring, I ask Swallow why are you here?" The swallows say that spring is the most beautiful here! ”

After singing the first stanza, followed by the second stanza, until the end, "Little swallow, tell you, this year here is more beautiful, we have built a big factory, installed new machines, welcome you, live here for a long time." ”

After they walked out of the emergency room, Yao Xiaowang asked, "In the later paragraph, An An didn't teach you, right?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Zhilian replied sullenly.

"It turns out that you would have been able to sing a long time ago......" Yao Xiaowang lowered his head, and his shoulders were also collapsed, "Xiaojiang, thank you." ”

"No need to ......" Jiang Zhilian felt that she couldn't bear this thank you.

She couldn't help much.

"An An is very happy to know you and Xiao Meng, she has never been as happy as yesterday. She walked happily with hope. Yao Xiaowang was silent for a long time, and then said, "This is very good......

Meng Qing pinched Yao Xiaowang's shoulder, "Do you need us to help deal with the aftermath?" ”

"No!" Yao Xiaowang raised his eyes and looked at Meng Qing, "You guys are busy with your business!" Aren't you going to transfer to another hospital today? ”

Meng Qing didn't persuade more, but said, "Contact in the future." ”

Although Jiang Zhilian wanted to stay and accompany Yao Xiaowang for a while, Meng Guohui's transfer to the hospital was also more urgent, so she had to say goodbye directly, "Then we'll go first." ”

"Wait!" Yao Xiaowang suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Zhilian's sleeve.

Jiang Zhilian retracted her leg and looked at Yao Xiaowang, "Huh? What's wrong? ”

"That-" Yao Xiaowang paused and said, "You said before that you opened a restaurant?" ”

Jiang Zhilian nodded, "Yes!" ”

"You said my steamed buns were delicious, didn't you?" Yao Xiaowang asked in a low voice.

"Well, it's delicious!" Jiang Zhilian accentuated her tone and emphasized: "I have eaten so many steamed buns, and you have made the most delicious!" ”

Yao Xiaowang plucked up the courage and asked, "Then can I go to your restaurant to make steamed buns?" ”

"Yes!" Jiang Zhilian didn't think about it, didn't think about it for half a second, and gave the answer directly.

Yao Xiaowang was stunned, "Don't you think about it?" ”

"Don't think about it!" Jiang Zhilian said with a serious face: "You are a talented white case master, and you can endure hardships, I can't ask for it!" What else to consider! ”

"Oh......" Yao Xiaowang wasn't sure if she was comforting a father who had just lost his daughter, or if she really thought that his steamed buns were so good that he could be hired without thinking about it.

Jiang Zhilian looked at Yao Xiaowang's expression and guessed what he was thinking.

"You may not realize how good you are now, but you will know later." Jiang Zhilian found a pen and paper and wrote down the address and phone number of the vegetarian restaurant, "Write you another copy, don't lose it." We may not be able to go back in a week, and if you arrive first, find a place to stay. If you need help, you can find the boss in the store. ”

Yao Xiaowang put away the address and nodded, "I'll go over after I'm done dealing with this matter." ”

"That's fine." Jiang Zhilian smiled, "Then we'll see you in Dawan County in a while." ”

"Okay." Yao Xiaowang watched Jiang Zhilian and Meng Qing leave.

That night, Yao Xiaowang went to Village Chief Qiao and bluntly said the idea of selling the ancestral house.

The village chief sneered: "Sell the ancestral house? Is that ancestral house yours? ”

"My grandfather left it to me, I have the title deed." Yao Xiaowang's eyes were red.

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "That's okay! I'll give you two hundred dollars, and you can sell it to me!" ”

"Two hundred?" Yao Xiaowang didn't know how much the ancestral house could sell for, but two hundred yuan, which was too insulting.

"Too little, huh? That's it. The village chief waved his hand and drove people away, "Hurry up and do your daughter's funeral, don't think about what you don't have." I stayed with two outsiders for two days, and my brain was ruined. ”

Yao Xiaowang gritted his teeth and didn't move.

If the village chief doesn't nod his head, this rental house will definitely not sell.

If it was something else, he wouldn't insist on it, and he would compromise if he could.

But this matter has to be solved, and the sooner it is resolved, the better.

Yao Xiaowang clenched his fists, bent his knees, and knelt on the ground, "Village Chief, I beg you." You nod your head, I'll find the buyer myself. ”

The village chief narrowed his eyes, "Are you determined to leave?" ”

"Yes!" Yao Xiaowang nodded.

"Five hundred, then! Not a lot. The village chief took two puffs of his cigarette, "I'll buy it, it's good to let Qiao Liu keep a dog there." Although the house is not big, the entrance is quite empty, and you can make a decent dog farm with a fence. ”

"Use my family's ancestral house to raise a dog?" Yao Xiaowang looked incredulous.

Isn't this a naked insult to the Yao family!

The village chief spit out the smoke rings and said unhurriedly: "This is all inspired by those two outsiders, I think it is very useful to raise a powerful animal." I asked, the dog breeds that Qiao Liu raised before are not good, they are very bad! If you raise it, you have to raise the kind of really fierce one! I heard that the Tibetan mastiff is good, as powerful as a wolf! ”

Yao Xiaowang didn't finish listening to the village chief's words, got up and left.

He didn't know how he got home.

Inside and outside, it's deserted.

The daughter-in-law is gone;

The girl is gone;

The empty ancestral house, only he was left alone.

There was no fire, no light, Yao Xiaowang sat in the cold, dark room all night.

At about three o'clock in the morning, he slowly stood up and went out to collect baskets and baskets of firewood.

On the bed, on the floor, in front of the window, in the closet, and by the stove, there were dry branches, weeds, and straw......

Yao Xiaowang packed up a small baggage, which contained not many things, only a small padded jacket worn by his daughter, a silver bracelet worn by his daughter-in-law when she married him, and a deed to the ancestral house.

The money and address were on him, and this was all the things that Yao Xiaowang brought with him when he left his hometown.

The people you love are gone.

He had no other nostalgia.

Yao Xiaowang was lying in a small matchbox in his hand, he took out a match, slid it, and threw it forward.

The small flame quickly turned into a large flame.

The firelight illuminated his face.

He smiled, took out another match, lit it, and threw it.

And that's it, the third, the fourth......

Yao Xiaowang walked around the ancestral house and lit a whole box of matches.
