Chapter 8 The East Pimple
When Jiang Yao woke up again, after a bumpy journey, he finally managed to arrive in Hebei.
Along the way, the toss was enough, and the sleep was not less, just at noon, Jiang Yao had a meal near the station, and took the bus back by the way.
Over the years, fortunately, Jiang Yao's door is a non-standard bus station, and it is convenient to go out and take the bus anywhere. And this way home, too, get in the car, rest for a while, and arrive at the door of the house.
"What, your grandma hasn't come back yet?" Shao Xiaoling saw Jiang Yao coming back with a bag on his back, but he didn't see his own mother beside him, so he asked.
"Hey, I didn't see anyone at all, after I went, my grandma had something to do, I went to do something, and the second grandma arranged for me to go to school, and I came back." Jiang Yao threw the backpack in his hand onto the chair, picked up the drink on the shelf and drank it.
"It just so happens that you are back, I saw that this high school graduate, I signed up for the driver's license test in the summer, I also reported it to you, the money was paid, I just went to the physical examination this afternoon, and the baby will be back." Shao Xiaoling hugged her eldest son and said.
"What? Why are you blind to me again, dear mother. "It's not that Jiang Yao is not interested in the car, it's that this Shao Xiaoling really loves her son, for fear that others will leave her son behind, and thinks about him in everything, of course, she is not less self-assertive.
Jiang Yao is a person with a lot of ideas, and he decided to make himself without discussion, and he was unhappy for a while.
"Son, Dad will go with you in the afternoon, the driving school instructor is my elementary school classmate, can he still treat you badly then?" Jiang Guangming hugged his son and said.
"Cut, you two, the husband and wife are in deep love, and their profits are broken, and I am a tool man." Jiang Yao was unforgiving, but he agreed in his heart.
Jiang Guangming will have a nap time every day, long and short, starting for an hour, long, but there is nothing to say.
Jiang Yao waited dryly for his father to get up early and accompany him to recognize the coach, but until three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Guangming was still snoring like thunder.
Jiang Yao was helpless, he really felt sorry for his father, who was not strong, so he rode an electric car to the driving school.
This Jiang Guangming's elementary school classmate, Jiang Yao's driving school coach Yang Chunlai, didn't continue to read after elementary school, because his brain was so stupid, even Jiang Guangming didn't know when Yang Chunlai started a driving school.
But in line with the principle of taking care of business, Jiang Guangming still reported this school to Jiang Yao.
Yang Chunlai's driving school is in his yard, and I don't know what kind of virtue this guy has accumulated, there is such a big mansion outside the village.
Thinking of this, Jiang Guangming thought about Liu Hua'er, who was in charge of the house, and her elbow had been on the corner of the girl who had already married for decades, Liu Hua'er and Jiang Guozhong, who had worked all their lives, were stunned that they had only saved such a fateful realm with poor feng shui, which was still based on good development, and it was really on the cross street in the village. But it can only be a family of five, huddled together.
Having said that, this Jiang Yao rode an electric car and walked towards the outside of the village. At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the summer heat was rising, the bright sun would lead to the brick road outside the remote village, and white smoke was about to come out.
The wind suddenly blew in his face, and the heat was mixed with a sense of coolness, compared to the discomfort of the Jilin mansion, Jiang Yao really enjoyed the free time of being alone in the afternoon.
Walking along the road, turning south, I saw a driving school sign, which was Yang Chunlai's uncle's house, which was Shao Xiaoling's words before coming out.
After a while, I came to the corner of the east end of the village, and the fast tram slowed down.
And at this moment, a half-year-old child dressed in white jumped into the ditch in front of Jiang Yao's eyes.
Out of the truest kindness in his heart, Jiang Yao threw down the electric car and was about to reach out to grab the child in front of him, but he was no longer alive in the water, leaving only the sparkling sunlight and the ripples that gradually spread......
Jiang Yao shouted loudly on the water's edge, hoping that in this place where few people come, there can be someone who has good water to catch people, after all, this Jiang Yao is a landlubber who is not watery at all.
Jiang Yao hurriedly shouted, but there were countless laughter around, this endless sound with water vapor came from the ditch in front of him, and for a while, it seemed that there were thousands of children laughing and playing around Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao shook his head, stood up from the shore, tried to make himself sober, took out his mobile phone, and was about to make a call.
At this time, Jiang Yao realized that this was not the eastern pimple that grandma often mentioned that drowned many people.
There are not a few people who drowned in this eastern pimple, and there must be dozens of people if not hundreds.
In the few times Jiang Yao was in the village, he had heard the old people gather together to talk about this pimple. It is said that among the older generation (not much in that life) there was a great drought, and the scope of the drought was so large and the impact was so far-reaching that until the current eighty or ninety-year-old people talk about it, they are all changed for it.
As a result of the drought, crops have been virtually wiped out, and even the most basic drinking water has become a problem. The drought gave rise to a plague of locusts, and the plague of locusts caused a plague...... Later statements are also in line with the historical knowledge in textbooks.
But in fact, rumors say that this drought has another hidden story, and it is a secret past......
Besides, the pimple was caused by the plague that had been caused in the first place.
At that time, the plague was rampant, especially for newborns and children who were just a few years old, most of them were killed by the plague. People in ten miles and eight towns are just as poor as they are, and they have no money to see a doctor, let alone spend money to bury their children in a coffin. And it just so happened that the Taoist priest who thought he was walking the rivers and lakes passed near Jiang Village, and when he saw this scene, he calculated that there was an excellent tomb feng shui at this ditch, and he took his own guy and disappeared.
So the people of the ten miles and eight towns rushed to buy the children who died of the plague near this eastern lump, but more and more people died, and more and more people bought, and the economy became more and more difficult, so they simply threw the dead babies on the bank of the water, until a hill-like lump of earth was piled up by the river.
The epidemic lasted for two or three years, and the originally popular territory became almost an empty city. Those who survived picked up the corpses that were still on the shore and buried them again on the edge of the lump.
Over time, there was a big dirt bag on the shore.
The hometown saying is also "East Pimple".
Jiang Yao reminisced about the past stories that were circulated in the market, and fell into an aftertaste, but at this moment, the laughter in his ears became endless, and it was a little more lively than the children in the amusement park......
And at this moment, a man's crazy shout came from behind him, calling Jiang Yao's lost mind back in the child's voice.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent at this time, like thousands of naughty children who are silent in the face of an angry teacher.
Jiang Yao was almost trapped in the water, and when he looked back, it was his father, Jiang Guangming.
"Dad!?" Jiang Yao shouted loudly and began to run to the shore.
"Yaozi, come up, hurry!" Jiang Guangming anxiously threw down the car, reached out to pull Jiang Yao on the shore, and pulled him up desperately.
"Dad, why are you here again?" Jiang Yao took off his soaked clothes and said in shock.
"You damn boy, ID won't take you to a fart." Jiang Guangming was also sore and scolded.
Jiang Yao didn't speak again, but his sloppiness saved his life......
