Chapter Eighty-Four: Drinking Too Much and Twisting Your Mouth
Leng Yue and the others looked at Xue Ling in surprise, "What?" Your dad died, what's going on? ”
Xue Ling shook her head, "I can't say for sure, I only found out after the conversation with the middle-aged man collapsed, my neighbor's house called the school and said that there was an accident at home, so I rushed back"
Xue Ling, who received the call, did not delay at all, although her father was a perennial alcoholic and often scolded her, but her father's love was like a mountain, but the way of expression was different, for her own tuition, her father took care of dozens of sheep in the family regardless of the cold winter and heat, and saved money to spend on herself, this is Xue Ling's last relative in the world, she can't imagine what she should do after her father's accident!
Just stepped into the village road, a smell of burnt paste came to her face, Xue Ling, who rushed back overnight, seemed to have guessed what happened, and she could usually walk back to the door of the house with her eyes closed, her legs trembled at this time, she didn't dare to accept this reality, until she saw the charred body of her father parked in the middle of the yard, Xue Ling wanted to cry and sat paralyzed by the gate without tears!
"Reiko, you're back, your dad is a drunkard who can really die, it doesn't matter if his house is burned, you look at the burning of our house, I usually persuade him to drink less, he never listens, I am unlucky to be a neighbor like you......"
Xue Ling couldn't hear what the neighbor's aunt said behind her, and she was even more sure from the words that it was her father who was lying in the yard, and the family that was not wealthy in the first place, and it was undoubtedly worse to meet this ruthless fire!
Someone next to her gently pushed her, and Xue Ling woke up from her memories, "Reiko, sadness is unavoidable, don't be sad, let's handle your father's funeral first, and it won't be in vain for him to raise you once"
rummaging through all her pockets, Xue Ling's body is only a few dozen yuan, not to mention erecting a monument to buy a coffin, even an ordinary set of old clothes can't afford it, when she looked at the villagers, everyone avoided her eyes!
"By the way, although my house burned down, the dozens of sheep raised by my father can still be sold for money, but why don't I see the sheep?" Xue Ling stood up to look for her flock, but was dragged by the aunt on the side!
"Reiko, are you also confused? Your family burned down the neighbors' houses, and you can't compensate people for money, your father burned to death, but the sheep didn't burn to death, and we were divided by several of our families, isn't this enough to make up for our losses, so I called you, and you can see how much compensation you can give us? ”
As if she couldn't believe her ears, Xue Ling looked at her neighbors who had lived in the same village for twenty years in a daze, and finally turned into a wry smile, "I have this little money in my pocket, I can't even afford my dad's coffin, what do you ask me to compensate you, my dad is still lying there, if it weren't for compensation, you wouldn't bother to call me, right?" ”
Everyone replaced the answer with silence, although the drunkard never caused trouble during his lifetime, but his short temper was not willing to get along with him, his daughter went to school all the year round, and the affection of his fellow villagers was minimal!
"The world is hot and cold, Xueling, don't be too sad," Leng Yue comforted her sympathetically, "Then how did your father's funeral arrangements later?" ”
"I'm afraid of your jokes when I say it" Xue Ling sighed and stood up, sitting already made her feel suffocated, I don't know if it was because of anger or too much excitement, "I went to the neighboring village and walked a few relatives, all of them were some friends and distant relatives of my dad before his death, I wanted to borrow some money from them to bury my dad, and the last meal sent me away, and I didn't borrow a dime, and there was also a cousin of mine, whose family always owed my dad money, and after learning that my dad was dead, they didn't say a word, I finally knew what it was to take tea and cool up, and finally the old village chief saw me pitiful and lent me a thousand yuan, which was barely enough to bury my father."
"Then I didn't hear that your dad was killed, isn't this obviously an accident?" Wu Nian asked a little anxiously!
"There are two reasons why I judged my dad to be killed by him, first, the neighbors said that the fire surrounded the whole house in an instant, and it should have been caused by an electric fire, but my dad was reluctant to pay any extra dime except for me going to school and drinking with him, and he didn't even pay the electricity bill on the days when I was not at home, and there was no electricity in my house."
"Second, after burying my dad, I rummaged through the ruins at random to see if I could find some complete objects to keep as a souvenir, but I unexpectedly found that the door of my house was locked from the outside, and the fire ignited instantly, and my dad woke up drunk and had no time to escape."
After listening to Xue Ling's narration, Wu Nian and the others also felt that it was indeed strange: "How much do you know about the person who came to you to follow me, can you describe it to me?" ”
"He asked me to call him Brother Zhang, in his thirties, about 1.8 meters, good in all aspects, very standard, and his accent is also from the Northeast, he is quite an ordinary person, I can't say it, but I must know him when we meet"
"It's the same as I didn't say, the kind of people you said are everywhere, let me find where to go, don't think too much, you just stay in my house, anyway, you don't have any other suitable place to go, just make this your home, I live next door to you, come to me at any time if you have something"
In this way, Leng Yue, whose family is still undecided, took in her classmate Xue Ling, people say that don't do it with good, don't do it with evil, and the kind-hearted Leng Yue can be regarded as laying the groundwork for her own good fortune!
Although I am not sure who the person who wants to track me is, it is certain that the school is no longer safe, which is also the idea of Leng Yue, her concept of college is a process, I believe that after this incident, her parents will not force her to go to school, not to mention that the family is the time to employ people, staying may be able to help!
Seeing Leng Yue carefully wiping her body for Wu Nian, Xue Ling on the side was surprised, "Sister Yue, you two are so close, he won't be your boyfriend, is it your husband?" Oh my God, I should have thought that you were getting married, and there must have been a lot of people chasing after you for being so good."
"You guessed right" Wu Nian just said four words, and was stunned by Leng Yue's angry gaze, "Originally, I wanted to find a suitable one to marry into your Zhao family, it seems that the chance is slim, when will we live this kind of life" Xue Ling walked in the house enviously, she liked everything very much, and was just about to walk into the courtyard, and collided with the cold star who came in!
Xue Ling, who almost fell, was hugged by Leng Xing, and Xue Ling retreated to the side with a red face, "Sister Yue, who is this?" This kid is so handsome," said nymphomaniac and looked at the heroic Leng Xing!
"Look at your unproductive appearance, this is my brother Leng Xing, the same age as me, the girls chasing him can line up in two lines, see if you have the ability" Leng Yue rolled her eyes, she was also helpless about this nympho roommate!
Through self-introduction, Leng Xing knew her origin, and after just a polite nod, he never took Xue Ling a glance again, but the more cold he was, the more enthusiastic the other party became, and he found various reasons to talk to him over and over again!
"Is my brother-in-law better?" Leng Xing looked at Wu Nian lying on the bed, with two centipede-like wounds on the left and one on the right on his abdomen, and dense flesh threads that were sewn, since saving the eldest brother from being injured this time, the Zhao family's attitude towards Wu Nian has also been much better
"Leng Xing, I'm much better, thank you for your concern, we were discussing Leng Yue's school just now, and finally agreed to let her rest at home for a while, and then it's too late to go when it's calmer, not to mention that your sister is indeed not the material for studying."
"You call him brother-in-law? It turns out that Sister Yue is really married, so I said that I can't deceive me, who is smart and witty" Xue Ling on the side can be regarded as having found a topic, and she always has to interject a few words at the right time!
Leng Xing smiled helplessly, "I don't plan to go in a short time, so many things at home haven't been dealt with yet, my dad doesn't know what the situation is, even if I go to school, I can't study with peace of mind, by the way, Sister Yue is indeed not a material for learning, I agree with this"
"Stinky boy, now you two are partnering to bully me, it seems that I hurt you in vain" Although she said so, Leng Yue's heart was very happy, she hoped that Wu Nian could get along well with the Zhao family and slowly integrate into the Zhao family!
"So did you come here for something?"
"It's okay, I've been thinking hard in the room for a day, and there is no result, I want to go out for a walk, just to see how my brother-in-law is recovering, can we go together"
After re-fixing the plaster, Wu Nian walked to the west of the village with a single crutch in her hand, and walked to the west of the village with the support of Leng Yue, along the way, Xue Ling had constant problems, her cheerful personality and many topics among her peers, so that she quickly became friends with Leng Xing, so that Leng Yue on the side was a little worried about her, her younger brother She knew very well that Leng Xing looked cold, and his heart was as enthusiastic as fire, and he looked like a good man at home, he was a well-known playboy in school, I was really afraid that one day they would come together, and it would be okay to be gone, and it would be a little embarrassing to disperse!
I originally planned to go to the river for a walk, but the weather is indeed a little cold when it is about to enter winter, the autumn wind is blowing, but there is no fallen leaf dancing, in the countryside this season's fallen leaves, is the best choice as a fire, has long been cleaned up by the villagers, that is, it can be used for heating, but also to prevent a cigarette butt from causing a fire, after all, how terrible a fire is, they have seen it not long ago, similar things will never happen a second time!
A burst of sweet aroma came to the nostrils, not far away the medicinal Malatang is very hot, the weather is about to enter winter, with a bowl of seven yuan enough Malatang, the villagers are not tired, and some uncles with their own pickled pickles and peanuts, sit in the restaurant and drink two cups, that is, you can fill your stomach and chat with the village doctor to learn the knowledge of health!
"Your village is so good, there is still Malatang, I haven't eaten it for almost ten days" Xue Ling clapped her hands excitedly, if she wants to eat these in her hometown, she must go to the township, where she is not rich, how can anyone spend money to eat, so there are almost no non-staple food stores in the village!
"I'll treat you to dinner, just as a gift for the first time we met" Leng Xing strode in, followed by Xue Ling, who kept thanking him!
"Alas, another girl in the flower season is going to be deceived" Wu Nian shook his head and walked slowly behind!
When the spicy hot soup that floated to it was served, even Wu Nian, who needed to avoid it, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and had to admire Dr. Zhao's IQ, which can combine healthy medicinal food and delicious vegetables into food, this is an exclusive secret recipe, ordinary people can't study it, a few people are tired of eating homely meals, and they eat delicious dishes in front of them!
It wasn't until a few people who were sweating profusely finished eating that they raised their heads with satisfaction, at this time there were only four people left in the room and the uncle who was drinking, and the uncle stood up and prepared to settle the bill. ”
Wu Nian slapped the chopsticks on the table, startling the other four people in the room, and several people looked at him puzzled, only to see Wu Nian's eyes staring at the drunken uncle like a torch and saying
"I see, Mandala, looking for the Big Buddha......"
