Chapter 37: Mutual Aid Society

After driving a short distance along the edge of Yunmengze, the white MPV turned right at a T-junction onto a scenic mountain road.

The tall green trees shade the entire mountain road, and a trace of sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, dotting the mountain road, making Chen Ming feel that he is still living in the old days, when he is going on a wild outing with friends.

Chen Ming sat in the last row of the car with Mango in his arms. In the second row sat Wei Yu and Wei Xiao, two sisters and brothers, and the main driver and co-pilot were Wei Hao and his wife.

Chen Ming's right hand gently stroked Mango's head, but his eyes looked at Wei Yu with a flat expression through the rearview mirror of the car. For some reason, maybe because of the scene he saw when he opened his eyes, Chen Ming always felt that his eyes couldn't leave Wei Yu's cold face.

Wei Yu suddenly found Chen Ming staring at her in the rearview mirror, she felt a little panicked in her heart, she didn't know why this man who had been in close contact for the first time was looking at her? She squeezed out a smile slightly politely and nodded invisibly at Chen Ming, who smiled awkwardly in return.

The two looked away, no longer looking at each other.

As the car drove up the mountain road, Chen Ming gradually saw a huge white building on the mountainside.

The white building is completely white, and through the gap between the trees, you can see that there are three straight steel pillars at the top of its tower, like three sharp swords reaching into the clouds.

The car drove through a large iron gate and soon came to the edge of the building.

After coming here, Wei Hao and Li Jiajia both had a heartfelt smile on their faces. Wei Yu was not as happy as her parents, she frowned, and seemed to be completely uninterested in this place.

The place where the car stopped was under the building, and there were 10 white jade steps next to the car leading to the white building, and after the car stopped, three people soon appeared at the top of the steps looking at Chen Ming and the others.

In the center is a man in his 40s, his whole body is white, with white hair, white eyebrows, white clothes, white pants, and white shoes, like an immortal in the world, and his ordinary-looking face shows a warm smile.

To the left of the man in white is a man in his 30s in a black suit, with curly hair on top and a scar about 2 centimeters on the corner of his mouth with a smile, as if he had been cut by a knife.

To the right of the man in white is a woman in a long black dress, with a dazzling beauty mole in the center of her eyebrows, which makes people unable to look at it at a glance.

All three looked tenderly at the car below.

Wei Hao and Li Jiajia saw the three of them waiting for them, so they hurriedly got out of the car and ran up to bow before they straightened up and gestured with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how can you let the elder wait for us here?" ”

The man in white shook his head and said in sign language that was much more skilled than Wei Hao: "You and I are brothers under the Mutual Aid Association, and there is no distinction between high and low. When his brother comes back from his outing, he should be welcomed before the door. ”

Wei Hao and Li Jiajia smiled even more, "Having said that, but the elders have been exhausted every day for our survival, and they should rest more when they are free, how can they still bother the elders for our little things." ”

Seeing this, the woman beside the man in white stepped forward and pulled Wei Hao and Li Jiajia aside, "Yes, this is the care that the elder has for every member." ”

Wei Hao and Li Jiajia did not insist on their own opinions, they stood beside the president and beckoned to Wei Yu and others under the steps.

Wei Xiao broke free from his sister's embrace, ran up step by step, and opened his hand to hug the man in white.

The man in white happily picked up Wei Xiao and spun around in a circle, before handing it to the man in black beside him. The man in black made a eating gesture at Wei Xiao, which made Wei Xiao laugh non-stop.

The man in white beckoned to Wei Yu, Wei Yu hesitated for a moment before slowly walking up and bowing slightly to the man in white.

The man in white smiled and asked, "How was it going to go out?" How is the scenery outside? ”

Wei Yu replied in an expressionless tone without a wave: "It's okay." ”

The man in white nodded absently, and then turned his gaze to Chen Ming. He seemed to be afraid that Chen Ming would not be able to understand sign language, he took out a paper and pen from his pocket and was about to write, when he saw Wei Hao gesticulating: "Elder, this is a friend we rescued on the road, he can understand sign language, much more proficient than me." His leg was injured, and I went to help him up and see the elder. ”

The man in white nodded, waved his hand at the man in black beside him, and the man in black hurriedly came down with Wei Hao to support Chen Ming.

Chen Ming walked in front of the man in white with the support of the two, and the man in white smiled and said: "Hello friends, I am Tang Lingyun, the president of the Baling Mutual Aid Association, welcome you to our mutual aid association, in this last days, we welcome all friends who need help." ”

Chen Ming is not a person who knows what to do, and his long-term project work has made him know what to say on what occasions. He shook Tang Lingyun's hand with a smile on his face, and then let go and said, "Hello, President Tang, I'm Chen Ming." ”

Tang Lingyun introduced him again: The man in black is Li Jiangxue, the secretary general of the Mutual Aid Association, and the woman in the black dress is also his secretary He Yi.

Both of them smiled at Chen Ming.

Tang Lingyun glanced at Chen Ming's left leg, and he asked with concern on his face: "Since Brother Chen is injured, it is better to stay in our mutual aid association and make plans when the injury is healed." I don't know what Brother Chen thinks. ”

Chen Ming nodded and said, "President Tang, that's what I mean by following Uncle Wei Hao here." I just don't know if there's a veterinarian here, I have a dog who is like a family member who is injured, I don't know if there is a veterinarian here to help treat it. ”

President Tang had a regretful expression on his face, "I'm sorry, He Yi is a doctor, but it's a pity that he can't treat animals." ”

This is He Yi clapping his palms on the side to attract everyone's attention, "If Brother Chen Ming can trust me, I can give it pharmacology and try to cure it, but whether it can be cured depends on the will of God." ”

Chen Ming nodded gratefully when he heard this, and then looked at the mango in the car. Wei Hao hurriedly went down to take the mango out and show it to He Yi.

Everyone didn't say much at the door, and entered the mutual aid association under the leadership of Tang Lingyunde.

As soon as you enter this building, you will see a huge brass statue 3 meters high, and the statue is none other than Tang Lingyun who is smiling and looking ahead. Behind the statue is a huge activity room with many straw mats, I don't know what they are used for.

Chen Ming was led by Li Jiangxue to the living area on the left side of the second floor. Li Jiangxue was so considerate that he arranged a single room for Chen Ming near Wei Hao's family. Then he took his leave, saying that he would come to call him when it was time to eat.

As for the mango, it has been taken away by He Yi for examination and treatment.

The single room is good, a bit like a single room in a hospital. Chen Ming opened the wardrobe and found that there were sets of cotton clothes inside, and on the left chest of the clothes were a few big characters of Baling Mutual Aid Association. Chen Ming took off the clothes that didn't fit his body, and found a suitable-sized dress from the wardrobe to put on.

He slowly moved to the window of his room and looked out, just in time to see the green treetops and the calm lake in the distance.

Chen Ming came back and lay on the bed looking at the roof in a daze, he didn't expect that in a place like this, there was such a paradise!

Soon after, Mango was sent back to Chen Ming's room by He Yi, and He Yi said apologetically: "Brother Chen Ming, I'm really sorry." I really don't have much research on the veterinarian, and now I can only feed him some antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and whether he can survive depends on the creation of mangoes. ”

Chen Ming nodded with a gloomy face, he took the mango, placed it gently on the sofa, and looked at it quietly.

He Yi glanced at the door a few times before turning to leave.

The sun moved slowly across the sky, and finally reached the green hill in the west, shining red in Chen Ming's room, reflecting Chen Ming's blushing face.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door. Chen Ming got up and opened the door, and Li Jiangxue stood at the door with a smile on his face. Li Jiangxue handed Chen Ming a metal crutch from his hand, "Brother Chen Ming, this is a crutch left by another brother before, you can use it first." ”

Chen Ming took the crutches and said gratefully, "Thank you." ”

Li Jiangxue smiled and shook his head, "Brother Chen Ming doesn't need to say thank you, it is our purpose to help each other in the mutual aid association." It's about to be dinner, please come with me Brother Chen Ming, we will have a group activity after eating. If you miss a meal, you have to go and get your own food. ”

Chen Ming nodded, he looked back at the mango on the sofa, and after making sure that the mango's condition had not deteriorated, he followed Li Jiangxue to the cafeteria.

The canteen is located on the first floor of a red brick house behind the white building. At this time, the cafeteria was already full of people, and after a rough count, there were about 100 people, and they were all dressed in the uniform of the mutual aid association, neatly and uniformly.

Chen Ming was arranged to sit down in a position at the back, and Wei Hao's family sat diagonally opposite him, and he happened to see Wei Yu, and Wei Yu also happened to look at him, and the two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Suddenly, a young woman directly opposite Chen Ming patted Chen Ming's palm gently, and she expressed in unfamiliar sign language: "If it's not early to eat, the elder will speak immediately, pay attention and listen to the teachings." ”

Chen Ming nodded awkwardly, he thought that this was the rule here, and he must not break the rules when he first arrived.

Someone at the front of the cafeteria suddenly clapped their hands, and everyone in the cafeteria looked through it. I saw Tang Lingyun standing on a small stage at the front of the cafeteria, while Li Jiangxue and He Yi were also watching from the stage.

Tang Lingyun smiled and gestured, "Brothers and sisters, life is hard and the road is difficult, only mutual help can have a future." ”

As Tang Lingyun's gesture ended, everyone stood up and typed a sign language in unison: "Only by helping each other can there be a future." ”

Everyone then sat down, and Tang Lingyun, with the help of Li Jiangxue and He Yi, pushed a small cart and began to feed all the members who were sitting in danger one by one. Everyone who received his food bowed excitedly, and an old man knelt down excitedly in gratitude.

The people around them were all familiar with this, as if it was a matter of course, and they looked at Tang Lingyun with adoring eyes.

Chen Ming looked at Wei Yu and the others, and he found that except for Wei Yu, all her relatives looked at Tang Lingyun in the same way.

Wei Yu felt Chen Ming's gaze, she looked at Chen Ming, her face was calm and she shook her head invisibly, and then waited quietly, waiting for the meal.
