Chapter 17: The Good Guys and the Bad Guys
Li Changjing jumped off the wall and glared at Liu Qingtan angrily, with rare anger on his delicate face.
Liu Qingtan clasped his hands and said coldly: "We said before, if you give me those medicinal materials, I will give you Buddha beads." But all the medicinal herbs were taken by you and boiled for those townspeople to drink, so why should I give you something? ”
Li Changjing was stunned for a moment, and found that this was indeed the case, the medicinal materials had already been said to be given to Liu Qingtan, but he broke his promise and gave them to those townspeople, and now if they don't give Buddha beads, it is not a breach of the contract.
"Miss Liu, don't worry, there is still room for things to turn around."
"Spin a fart!" Liu Qingtan said angrily: "Can those medicinal herbs be grown casually? Even if it can be planted, how long will it take to pick it? Li Changjing, let me tell you, my young lady's condition has deteriorated, I have to go back to Daye City tomorrow, and now that I don't have those medicinal materials, if my young lady is in any danger because of this, I will definitely settle accounts with you! ”
Li Changjing saw that she was angry, and he didn't talk back, and waited until she was a little less angry before asking tentatively: "What disease does your young lady suffer?" ”
"It's your business!" Liu Qingtan blurted out rudeness, but after speaking, he felt that this was too much, thought about it, and then said angrily: "I can't tell you what specific disease is, in short, it is a very strange disease, what doctor has taken all the medicine, there is no effect at all, only rely on some traditional Chinese medicine as a medicine to stabilize the condition." ”
Li Changjing frowned, thought about it for a while, seemed to confirm something, and said softly: "Maybe, I can cure your young lady's illness." ”
Liu Qingtan was shocked, but immediately laughed angrily: "You can cure a fart!" So many doctors have seen it, and it's useless at all, what can you do as a twenty-year-old hairy guy? ”
Li Changjing spread his hands and said helplessly: "The botanical experts you invited don't know how I grew so many medicinal herbs?" ”
Liu Qingtan frowned, looked Li Changjing up and down, seemed to think that what he said made sense, his face improved slightly, and asked, "Do you really have a way to cure my young lady?" ”
"I don't dare to pack the ticket, I have to confirm what illness your young lady has before I dare to draw conclusions."
Liu Qingtan snorted: "After talking for a long time, it's not useless. But having said that, after thinking about it for a while, she still nodded and said, "I don't know how to tell you about my young lady's illness, you have to see it yourself to understand." ”
Li Changjing nodded and said, "I can go with you to Daye City, and when your young lady's illness is cured, you can give me the Buddha beads again, is this fair deal?" ”
Liu Qingtan didn't rush to agree, but pointed to the halfway house behind him, and said that I have to leave tomorrow, and the time is very urgent.
Li Changjing shook his head, "When it comes to the house, I can ask Shopkeeper Xia to help watch it, it's okay." ”
"It's okay for you to come with me, but when you get to our house, you have to listen to me for everything." Liu Qingtan said solemnly: "Promise this, so that I can do business with you." ”
Li Changjing thought about it and found that it was not an excessive request, so he nodded and agreed.
In this way, after a brief discussion, the two settled the matter.
At six o'clock the next morning, before dawn, Liu Qingtan drove, Li Changjing sat in the passenger seat, and the car slowly drove towards the outside of the town.
Li Changjing looked through the car window and watched the familiar scenery in the town retreat quickly, and he had mixed feelings for a while.
It was the first time he had left town in twenty years.
But fortunately, Daddy and Mom have left, Shui'er has gone to Daye City, the medicine field has been handed over to Shopkeeper Xia to take care of, the old house has collapsed, and the new house is just a shell to him, so he doesn't have a special nostalgia for this town.
Daye City is far away from the city, more than 1,300 kilometers, originally the two were going to take a plane over, but who knew that it happened to coincide with the peak period of the start of school, and the tickets had been sold out a week ago, and the two had no choice but to take the train instead, but the luck was not good, and the train tickets were all sold out, and the tickets were not available until a week later at the earliest.
Liu Qingtan was extremely hot, so he planned to drive back by himself, more than a thousand kilometers away, and he drove for two days and one night without sleep, and he should always arrive.
However, once a person is unlucky, he will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water.
After the car stalled without warning, it could no longer be called, and the people from the nearby repair company came to check for a long time, but they still couldn't find anything wrong, and said that if they wanted to repair the car, it would take at least two days of work.
After a lot of troubles, Liu Qingtan's temper also came up, she gritted her teeth, and actually pulled Li Changjing to take a long-distance bus, but as soon as she got on the bus, she regretted it, not to mention the position in the last row, the smell of the car was still very unpleasant, not to mention the smell of fuel mixed with leather, there were some sweaty passengers in the car, fox smelly passengers, and some unqualified ones took off their shoes......
The bus has only been open for half an hour, Liu Qingtan has vomited three times, the whole person is sick, pale, no energy, she sprayed some perfume on her clothes, usually does not feel anything, but in the bus it became very unpleasant, after she took off her coat, the air conditioner was cold, and I accidentally found that Li Changjing's clothes only had a faint smell of washing powder, not strong or heavy, it was simply a clear stream in the car, as if a new continent had been discovered, let Li Changjing take off her coat, she used to cover her face, and isolated the smell of the car, Only then did I feel more comfortable, and after tossing for a long time, I was also tired, so I fell asleep on Li Changjing's shoulder in a daze.
Due to the delay in the city, it was dark not long after getting on the bus. The bus went around the city for a long time before getting on the highway outside the city, but fortunately, Li Changjing was not a pampered person, nor did he get motion sickness, and nothing bad happened along the way.
In the second half of the night, the car slowly quieted down, Li Changjing hadn't closed his eyes for a day, and was about to sleep, who expected that on a seat in the back right, there was a sudden burst of piercing baby crying, I don't know if I was hungry or peeed my pants, crying non-stop, the sound was still very sharp, the whole carriage was spread, the baby's father and mother were a young couple of twenty-five or sixteen years old, it was estimated that they were inexperienced, and the child still cried after coaxing for a long time, some people in the car began to scold and scold, and some of the grumpy ones let the couple get out of the car, Don't affect the rest of the whole car.
The couple had no choice but to say sorry while coaxing the child, a little anxious.
Liu Qingtan had already been woken up, her slender shoulders curled up in her seat, and she sighed vigorously, saying that she would never take the bus again in her life.
After more than ten minutes, the baby was still crying, which made people upset, Li Changjing couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head and shouted to the couple: "What do you two do as parents, you can't coax the child, why do you give birth to the baby?" Let him suffer! ”
This was not polite at all, the couple was stunned for a moment, and they were also a little angry, and the man snorted, and said angrily: "What can we do if the child is crying, he is still so young, is it something that can be controlled?" ”
An old man sitting in front also turned around and said to Li Changjing: "Young man, don't talk so excessively, it's normal for people to be new mothers, and lack of experience. ”
Several echoing voices sounded in the car one after another, all of which made Li Changjing not move and give others more tolerance.
Li Changjing snorted and had no choice but to stop talking.
However, after more than ten minutes, the child was still crying, and no matter how much the couple coaxed, it was to no avail.
The child cried so much that his voice was hoarse at the end, which sounded very distressing, and other people in the car were embarrassed to be harsh, and some older passengers even began to sigh, all lamenting that it was not easy to bring a baby.
But Li Changjing couldn't bear it anymore, stood up suddenly, and yelled at the couple: "You guys have been crying for almost an hour, and you don't let people sleep, if you cry again, you will get out of the car, don't affect the rest of the whole car!" ”
The child's father roared back: "Why don't you have any sympathy at all, we have been coaxing, but what can the child do if he is crying?" ”
The child's mother pushed her man, motioned him to say less, and apologized to Li Changjing, saying that they would try their best to coax the child and not cause trouble to everyone.
Liu Qingtan also felt that Li Changjing was too much, so he took his hand and asked him not to worry too much.
But Li Changjing shook off Liu Qingtan's hand and said unrelentingly: "Damn, I put up with you for more than an hour, my ears are almost deaf, you have to settle this account for me, lose money!" ”
The child's father was amused by Li Changjing's unreasonableness, "Young man, you have to have a degree of money, if you can't stand the child crying, you have to lose money, so why didn't you pay others when you cried when you were a child?" ”
Li Changjing sneered: "What did I do with you when I cried when I was a child, did it affect you?" ”
The old man who spoke to the child's parents stood up and said to Li Changjing in a serious tone: "Young man, the one sitting next to you is your daughter-in-law, right?" Seeing that you are so young, you must not have children yet, no wonder you don't know the hardships of raising children. Listen to my advice, dissipate your anger, you will have your own children in the future, be tolerant of others, and be tolerant of yourself, forget it. ”
Li Changjing patted the seat vigorously and said angrily: "No! Do you know what to call it when you affect others to rest? This is indirect chronic murder! What's wrong with me having a child in the future, if he makes a noise, I'll directly pump his ass and bloom! ”
Li Changjing shouted at the couple: "Now give you two a choice, either lose money, or you will beat your baby until he doesn't cry, or you will get out of the car immediately!" ”
Most of the passengers in the car felt that it was too much when they heard Li Changjing's words, and they stood up one after another, accusing him of "no love", "he is so hard-hearted at a young age, and he will definitely beat his wife and abuse his children in the future", "I have no tutor, I have no tolerance at all, I am just scum!" ”
Even Liu Qingtan was angry with Li Changjing, and he had the impression that this young man had the best temper and was the most reasonable, why was he so irritable now, was it because he was too far away from home and the reluctance in his heart was too deeply suppressed, so he vented in this way?
"Li Changjing, don't be so excessive, it's not easy for couples to go out with their children." Liu Qingtan also stood up and dissuaded: "Soon it will be dawn, when the car arrives at the service station and feeds the child a little food, it should not make trouble." ”
The people in the car echoed her words and agreed with her words.
But Li Changjing was angry, and he jumped like thunder and said: "No! Why is it that he is away from home, running such a long way, and still has to take his children with him, doesn't this make him suffer? Since you can't take care of it, then don't give birth, where did I say it wrong? ”
The child's mother was a little aggrieved by Li Changjing's yelling, wiped her eyes, and said to her husband: "Otherwise, let's get out of the car, the child is crying like this, it is really not a way." ”
The child's father also sighed, apologized to the others in the car, and was about to take his wife out of the car.
"Stop!" Li Changjing stood up, blocked the sidewalk, and said angrily: "If you affect others, you want to leave, how can it be so cheap!" ”
The child's father was also angry, pointing at Li Changjing and scolding: "Didn't you just let us get off the car, and now we want to get out of the car, and you refuse, deliberately squeeze us, right?" While scolding, he was about to come up and make a move, who knew that Li Changjing's strength was surprisingly strong, and he pushed it violently, and the child's father fell back to his seat.
"Tell you, hurry up and lose money for me, don't even think about leaving if you don't lose money!" Li Changjing roared with a red face.
The people in the car couldn't see it, and they all hugged the couple and scolded Li Changjing, so that the driver couldn't drive, so he had to park the car on the side of the road and take out the phone to call the police.
"Call the police, call the police!" Li Changjing said indifferently: "When the police come, let's see if you are reasonable or I am reasonable!" ”
Liu Qingtan was so angry that his face was cold, he glared at Li Changjing fiercely, and scolded: "I didn't expect you to be such a person, I really misjudged you!" After arriving at the service area tomorrow, our cooperation will be terminated, and you won't go to Daye City with me! ”
Li Changjing snorted, still indifferent.
After more than ten minutes, a police car happened to pass by, so the passengers invited the two police inspectors to come up, and after explaining the reason, the police asked everyone to go back and sit down, and then asked Li Changjing and the couple to show their ID cards.
Li Changjing took out his ID card indifferently, and when it was the couple's turn, the child's father touched his body and found that the wallet was not there, so he said to his wife: "Is my ID card with you?" You look for it. ”
The child was holding the child in her arms and couldn't get out of her hands, so she asked the police to help hold the child so that she could go through the luggage.
The policeman didn't know why, so he carefully took the child, but at this moment, the couple slammed into Li Changjing and the two policemen, and ran out of the car like crazy.
Li Changjing reacted quickly, and chased him out without saying a word, and the policeman holding the child was stunned, and suddenly realized, and shouted: "Catch that couple, they are human traffickers!" ”
