"Looking for Amy? I've never seen anyone with a stick in their hand when they're looking for someone, big head, you don't care about other people's families in the village, but you just can't bully their orphans and widows, and there is no place to be sorry for you when the army is there! ”

The third uncle asked, with his hands behind his back.

"Uncle, come and see Ming Ke, he seems to be very injured."

Amy has been patting Minco on the cheek since they came in, but somehow, Minke just didn't respond, she didn't even open her eyes, she put her hand under his nose, and found that there was still breathing and hurriedly called someone.

"Oh, what are you talking about, why don't you hurry up and carry Ming Ke to the house and call Uncle Wei over to show him."

Grandma Wang heard Amy's voice and hurriedly greeted the three people standing in the courtyard who were facing each other.

"Ah, why is it hurt like this, I'll take a look."

The third uncle turned his head, glanced at him, stepped forward and touched his back, and sighed heavily:

"This baby may have broken ribs, and it is useless to let Lao Wei come over, so he has to be sent to the hospital in the county for an examination."

Amy's eyes were red, and her tears fell involuntarily, she wiped away her tears, got up from the ground, and instructed Grandma Wang:

"Grandma, you help me watch him, I'll go to Uncle Li now and ask him to borrow his ox cart."

After saying that, Amy ran out without looking back.

"Uh......h Grandma, is Brother Xiao Ming like my mother, dead? ”

Niuniu stood at the gate of the courtyard, leaning on the door frame and crying.

"It's okay, there's an uncle here! My uncle will take him to the clinic later, and the doctor will be fine if he shows him. ”

The pillar stepped forward and picked her up, wiped the tears on her face with the tip of his thumb, and gently coaxed her.

"Big head, your kid is in trouble this time, and this kid will not be saved when he is sent to the hospital."

The third uncle sighed again and patted him on the shoulder, looking pity.

"No, how could it be! That kid also beat me with a stick, and it was no lighter than I hit him, why didn't I do anything, how could he still die! ”

The big head looked incredulous, and was about to say something more, when Uncle Li drove over in an ox cart, and the third uncle and Zhu Zi hurriedly carried Ming Ke to the ox cart.

After arriving at the county seat, the sun was about to set, and the county hospital was about to close, just the last doctor of the hospital walked out of the hospital door, and when he saw Ming Ke lying there without knowing life and death, he was also frightened, and quickly asked the nurse to push the hospital bed and carry Ming Ke in.

"This patient's ribs have been broken, I'll push him into the operating room first, and your family will wait outside."

With that, the doctor went into the room and changed his outfit to prepare for the operation.

Amy looked nervously at the closed door of the operating room, and anxiously circled in place, Uncle Li, who was sitting on the side, saw her like this, stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder, persuading:

"Girl, I know you're in a hurry, but it's useless to be anxious, you've been running around just now, you must be tired, sit here and relax."

"Uncle, I don't have a lot, even if you are so late, I don't dare to let you go back, your family will definitely be worried! And the cow ......."

"It's okay, I've already settled down when I came out, and I even took a big bundle of grass for the cows, you can rest assured, the most important thing now is the life of the Ming Ke boy."

Uncle Li took a puff of his cigarette and said.

"It's okay, it's going to be okay." Amy's mouth involuntarily comforted itself.

As the minutes passed, Uncle Li couldn't bear the sleepiness and had already fallen asleep, Amy asked the nurse for a quilt and covered him.

The door to the operating room never opened, and Amy walked around anxiously outside, her hands clasped tightly together, and the joints of the upper hand were white. I couldn't stop praying to heaven in my heart, she had never believed in gods and Buddhas, and at this moment, she was the only thing she could do.

About half an hour later, the door of the operating room slowly opened, and the doctor walked out of it, taking off his mask, and said:

"The patient's ribs fortunately did not hurt the liver, I have fixed the ribs for him with something, and for the next month or so, the patient can only rest in bed and cannot walk, in fact, I suggest that it is best to let the patient be hospitalized, in this case, I can deal with anything in time."

"Okay, then I'll go through the formalities now."

"Alas, you wait, now that the hospital is closed, let's wait for tomorrow to complete the formalities! I'll help you find a bed to settle down into. ”

Amy nodded, followed the doctor to the ward, and then pushed Minco into the ward with the nurse.

Uncle Li was also called to the ward by her, and fell asleep on the empty bed in the ward again.

Amy didn't close her eyes all night, just looked at Ming Ke blankly, distressed and moved, mixed with an unknown emotion.

In the village, as soon as the big head came out, he found Liu Jianfang and asked her to give him some money.

"How can I have any money? Besides, what do you want so much money for? ”

"Mingke may have been beaten to death by me, I have to find some money to prepare for the run."

The big head grabbed Liu Jianfang's shoulders with both hands, and after speaking, he searched her body.

"What are you doing, you beat him to death, what's the matter with me, besides, if Minke dies Amy, there will be no one to protect her, isn't it easy for you to make her your person? What else to run? ”

Liu Jianfang struggled out from under his hands and said without being salty.

"If you hadn't picked up Lao Tzu here, how could I have gone to Mrs. Wang's house to find her, how could I have been beaten by Ming Ke, now it's okay, Lao Tzu has been injured in vain, and I don't know if he will be arrested tomorrow."

The big head stood there looking at Liu Jianfang's eyes, and as he spoke, there was indescribable fear in his tone.

"I tell you, I'm not afraid of you at all, who can prove that I did it for you? It will only be your fault if the police ask, and if you don't leave now, I will shout for the people from the educated youth to run out and arrest you, and make your crime even worse. ”

Liu Jianfang frowned, stood there with his hands on his arms, and threatened.

"Okay, you wait for me, let's see."

After the cruel words, the big head turned to leave, and then he came to the pillar's house again.

"Chaoxia, Chaoxia" The big-headed ghost shouted angrily into the room.

The pillar was afraid of Niuniu's grandfather and grandson because of today's incident, and he didn't come back until now, and Chaoxia was home alone.

When she heard the voice of the big head, she hurriedly put on her clothes and ran out, and when she saw the comer, her eyes widened, and she asked with some horror:

"Why are you here, hurry up, or we won't be able to run when the pillar comes back."

"Chaoxia, I came to borrow some money from you, you also know that Ming Ke was beaten by me and doesn't know life and death, I have to leave here."

The big head looked at her anxiously, and looked back from time to time, for fear that the pillar would suddenly pop out and catch him off guard.

"You don't have any money, why did you come here, my family has always been a pillar in charge, you don't know, if you let him know that the money in the box is less, he will kill me."

As soon as she heard about borrowing money, Chaoxia refused again and again, and when the big head saw her like this, she grabbed her hand, and she hurriedly pushed it away, but the man's strength was too great, and she pushed it several times without success.

"Chaoxia, Chaoxia, you save me, I don't want to go to prison, you just give me a few dozen yuan, really, I don't want much, the pillar is so capable, your family must not be short of these dozens of yuan."

"Dozens? Why don't you rob it, if my family knows that I dare to lend dozens of yuan, they will definitely kill me, you better go find someone else. ”

"I'll tell you, if you don't lend it to me, I'll go to you first, just let the pillar come back and hit the two of us, he loves face the most, when the time comes, you will have to be crippled if you don't die, anyway, I'm already a person who is about to go to prison, and I won't suffer a loss if I pull you on your back, you think about it!"

The big head changed his attitude of begging for help, and threatened viciously.

Chaoxia had no choice but to nod, and the big head let go of her, urging Chaoxia while looking, worried that the pillar would come back.

Chaoxia got on the kang, opened the cabinet, and took out a small box from the deepest part of the cabinet, she knew that there were more than 60 yuan in exchange for the pillar's labor, and some grain, oil and cloth tickets.

She looked at these things greedily, thinking that the pillar was so good to the little girl during the day, but she either beat or scolded herself. She thought that instead of sitting here and waiting to die, she might as well take the money and run away with the big head.

Thinking of this, she put most of the money and all the tickets in her socks, put the box back in the cabinet, and after doing all this, she checked around and found nothing abnormal, so she straightened her hair and walked out towards the door.

"How? Is the money withdrawn? ”

As soon as the big head saw her, he asked anxiously.

"Well, take it out, I can give you the money, but you have to take me with you."

Chaoxia put her hands behind her back and put forward the conditions.

"Okay, okay, auntie, I promise you, but how much did you take?"

"Not much, only more than twenty."

"Twenty? How is it so little. ”

“……”

As the two of them were talking, neither of them noticed a dark figure at the door, and slowly walked in.

As soon as Zhu Zi came home, he saw a big man standing in front of his house, and his daughter-in-law, with his hard-earned money in her hand, wanted to give it to the man.

He picked up the shovel at the door and quietly walked up, and a shovel slapped the man's back, and the man fell.

"You told me that you didn't fool around with the big head, so I want to ask you why he's here."

Chaoxia looked at the pillar's iron-blue face, and then looked at the big head who fell to the ground unconscious, and was terrified for a while.
