Chapter 45: Close at hand (2)
It's just that although Ye Feng has already stood up, because the space of the ox cart is relatively narrow as a whole, and the unbearable smoke rises from the bottom, even if Ye Feng stands up, it can't actually reduce the uncomfortable feeling because of this.
While enduring the air that was smoked by the old man that was difficult to breathe, Ye Feng did psychological construction for himself, which was in ancient times, where would there be the concept of "no smoking in public".
On the other hand, if you bring it up yourself, it will only be treated as a joke.
Coupled with looking at the old man's expression of enjoyment, Ye Feng couldn't say anything.
Also, there is still a long way to go, and everyone has their own way of passing the time. For this old man, maybe smoking a cigarette is the best way to relieve fatigue.
In other words, there is no other way than to find a way to breathe. It's just that Ye Feng still began to pray in his heart, hoping that this uncle could take a break after smoking this cigarette.
After standing for a while, Ye Feng was ready to sit down and rest. The ox cart was dangling, and he couldn't stand on his feet.
It's just that what Ye Feng didn't expect was that when he stood up, when he wanted to sit down again, he found that it was impossible, and the original little space had already been filled by crowded passengers, and there was nothing left.
It's like a hard seat on a train, as long as you dare to get up and go to the bathroom, or leave for a short while, you will come back with no seats.
Hegemony or something, the other party's arrogance is often more arrogant and reasonable than yours.
Ye Feng originally wanted to ask Chen Jixing to help, but after thinking about it, the result of the help could only be that Chen Jixing asked him to sit down and stand by himself, and Chen Jixing and Ye both squinted their eyes to rest.
Thinking of this, I had no choice but to give up, it seemed that I was going to go back to the county on my feet.
Shaking back and forth, this situation and this scene couldn't help but remind him of the experience of taking a train in his previous life.
It was the summer vacation of the university, and in order to save money, Ye Feng bought a hard seat and a student ticket. Halfway through, he just got up to go to the toilet, and when he came back, he found that the place had been occupied by an old man.
Ye Feng thought about it, and then said to the uncle: "Uncle, this position is mine, can you sit for a while and then let me?" ”
Uncle was noncommittal, didn't answer yes, didn't answer no, Ye Feng only thought he agreed. Who knew that Ye Feng stood for a long time, his legs were sore, and the uncle was stunned, sitting and pretending to be asleep, no matter how he pushed, he couldn't wake up.
He couldn't possibly deal with an old man, so he stood for a day and a night until he got off the train.
And now it's even more ridiculous, there are no seats at all, and there is no real-name system, so it is probably impossible to sit down. It seems that it is only expected that someone will get off the bus early in the middle of the way, so that he may be able to squeeze out a position.
Thinking like this in his heart, Ye Feng unconsciously showed an expression that he didn't feel and was a little aggrieved in the eyes of outsiders.
Others didn't care, they were tired, and they wouldn't give up their seats to a half-sized child. In their eyes, children do not have a waist structure, so they will naturally not have backache.
What Ye Feng didn't know was that his aggrieved and helpless expressions all fell into the eyes of the Xue couple next to him, and they felt heartache when they saw it.
After thinking about it, Xue Laohan's lady Zhu beckoned to Ye Feng, she didn't shout, because she didn't want to alarm the other people in the ox cart who were pretending to sleep. And Ye Feng was not the only one standing.
Ye Feng was a little surprised when he saw someone waving, because he really didn't know each other. His current scope of activities is limited to Chenjia Village, and when he leaves the village, he doesn't know anyone else.
Because I looked at this person carefully.
I saw this woman sitting by the window, about thirty or forty years old, with kind eyebrows and eyes, but she seemed to be covered with something called "sorrow" in modern times.
In addition, there are many wrinkles on the face.
In fact, this is the typical image of a peasant in this time and space, not very old, but with a lot of wrinkles, as if it were standard.
There was a man of her age beside the woman, who also looked at her gently. Ye Feng thought about it, this kind of expression would definitely not be Hanako, and he was not afraid at all, if Hanako really treated him as a ten-year-old child, it could only be said to be unlucky.
He was abducted once when he was a child, but because of his young age. It will never happen again.
Seeing that Ye Feng was a little confused, the other party beckoned again.
Maybe there was something going on, after thinking about it, Ye Feng slowly moved over with difficulty. The "population density" in this oxcart is not ordinarily large, but fortunately, he is thin and small, and the person with his eyes closed is just a fake sleep, so he can basically let him, so Ye Feng successfully moved to the woman.
As soon as he walked here, Ye Feng suddenly felt that his breathing was much easier. The air is much better by the window.
When I arrived, I realized that her name was really herself.
The woman looked up and down and looked at Ye Feng carefully, and then said that she took the initiative to greet her: "Child, are you eleven years old?" Just smoked, right? The way into the city is still long, and you can't stand alone. Come, sit on Auntie's lap. It's a little bit more comfortable. ”
Originally, sitting on the lap of a stranger of the opposite sex, this was a little resistant to Ye Feng, who had a mature soul.
However, for no reason, Ye Feng felt that the other party's eyes were kind and kind, so kind, which made Ye Feng, who had always longed for maternal love, a little moved, as if he couldn't refuse.
Maybe he was too tired, and the ox cart was a little bumpy, so Ye Feng sat down.
Actually, he just didn't know that this was the magnet-like attraction of blood between relatives.
Ye Feng, who was sitting on the lap of the peasant woman, did not feel the discomfort he imagined, but had a warm feeling, so he chatted with them without a match.
Through chatting, Ye Feng learned that the farmer's surname was Xue, the woman's surname was Zhu, and the couple lived in Qingshui Town. After careful questioning, it turned out that Qingshui Town was far away from Chenjia Village, and it was in the opposite direction.
Because the daughter of Zhu's mother's brother is about to get married, and Zhu's aunt, according to convention, wants to buy some pottery for the other party.
In fact, they could have bought it at the market in Qingshui Town, but they wanted to be more grand about marrying this kind of thing, so they came here in an ox cart to burn it.
Due to the long distance, unlike Ye Feng, they could just set off earlier.
They need to travel from their homes to Qingshan County, where they will stay overnight and then ride home in an ox cart the next morning.
Speaking of this, Ye Feng had to sigh, this Zhu couple is really sincere, for the sake of someone else's daughter's wedding to be smooth and satisfactory, the couple worked tirelessly, and went all the way to Taojia Village, just to burn some pottery.
Not to mention the money, this journey alone is enough to show sincerity.
Zhu Shi looked at Ye Feng with a loving face, listening to his answer, he loved him even more in his heart, I have to say that this child is really cute.
What Ye Feng didn't notice was that the man surnamed Xue who was sitting on the side was already teary-eyed, and what he thought in his heart was that if his son was not taken away by the kidnapper, he would be as big as the child in front of him at this time.
Poor son, I don't know where he was abducted, I don't know if he is suffering now......
Actually, he noticed Ye Feng when he came over in the morning, but because he saw that Ye Feng had been sleeping, he didn't want to disturb him. And at this moment, at such a close look, it really looks like his lost son.
But then he shook his head again, it's obvious, this is a family, but he saw the love on Ye's face, as well as the interaction between Qianyan and Ye Feng.
Over the years, when he saw children of the same age as his son, he felt like his own son.
Thinking of this, Xue Laohan's heart suddenly felt like a pinprick, and there was a burst of colic.
As soon as Zhu Shi, who was chatting with Ye Feng, turned his head and saw his father-in-law covering his heart with his right hand, his lips were purple, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of pain, he knew that the situation was not good.
Since the loss of his son, due to the exhaustion of searching around and the excessive longing, his own man has gradually become like this.
They also went to the doctor for treatment, and according to the doctor, it was a "palpitation", saying that there was no way to treat it for the time being.
However, the doctor also said that as long as you have a good life and recuperate, your emotions are not too excited, and you are not overworked, there is no problem in living to old age.
Since then, Xue Laohan has tried not to do heavy work, and he has tried to restrain his emotions, he wants to live a little longer, at least to the moment he meets his son. As long as there is a chance to meet in this life, even if he dies immediately, he is happy.
Seeing that Zhu Shi was nervous, Ye Feng noticed Xue Laohan's abnormality, and asked a few words casually.
As a result, when he heard what Zhu Shi said about the symptoms of "rapid heartbeat, chest tightness, and shortness of breath", Ye Feng felt bad in his heart, and the old man in front of him was only afraid that he was sick with dirt.
As a result, before Ye Feng had time to think about what to do next, the man was already pale, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he was about to faint.
"Parking! Stop the car! Stop quickly," Ye Feng immediately shouted.
Seeing that the driver couldn't hear at all, Ye Feng said to the others in the car as if asking for help: "Everyone, help, let this car stop, someone is sick and needs to get out of the car for treatment." ”
Zhu had seen Xue Laohan get sick, and when she heard Ye Feng shouting, she also shouted, "Master, stop quickly, stop quickly." ”
The people in the whole ox cart were frightened by the screams of Ye Feng and the woman, and some of them woke up directly from their sleep. For a while, everyone looked at them in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
It was only because the people in the car were alert that they straightened up, so they couldn't notice the crumbling Xue Laohan.
In the end, someone was the first to react, and opened the curtain to stop the driver. The people who drove the car also hurriedly stopped the car amid the screams.
Ye Shi was even more frightened and squeezed over to take a closer look at Ye Feng, and saw that Ye Feng was only panicked and unscathed, so he was a little relieved.
Seeing that everyone was awake, after confirming that Zhu had medicine on his body, Ye Feng said, "Uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, I am sorry to disturb you." It's just that this uncle has a sudden illness and needs to get out of the car to take medicine, so please make it convenient. ”
Everyone knows the reason, but they are not annoyed, after all, everyone has an inconvenient time. Therefore, everyone hurriedly got out of the car and made a way.
Under Ye Feng's command, several enthusiastic men carried Old Man Xue, whose face was getting paler and paler, and who had fainted at the moment, out of the car.
After getting off the ground, he first used the coat that Zhu took off to cushion the ground, and then put Xue Laohan flat on the ground.
Then, Ye Feng unbuttoned his clothes, and explained that he couldn't crowd around to watch the excitement. Obviously, Xue Laohan is a heart attacker, and crowding onlookers will only obstruct air circulation and aggravate his condition.
After doing this, Ye Feng carefully checked Xue Laohan's breathing again.
Maybe it was because of the pitiful weather, and the air outside the car was very fresh, and after a while, Xue Laohan's breathing began to stabilize down.
Seeing this, Ye Feng asked Zhu to take a pottery bowl he had just bought today, fetched a bowl of water in the stream on the side of the road, took the medicine given by Zhu, and slowly fed it to Xue Laohan, who was leaning on Zhu's arms.
After a while, he came to his senses.
"Wake up, wake up, just wake up!" Seeing that people woke up, everyone was happy and glad for Xue Laohan, and they also had a new understanding of Ye Feng. It turned out that this little boy, who looked no more than ten years old, seemed to know medical skills.
Seeing that Xue Laohan had woken up, and seeing that everyone had not yet gotten into the car to continue on his way, a person dressed as a shopkeeper and about thirty people said with some dissatisfaction: "This old man was sick just now, and we should save him." However, at this moment people also woke up. I said, "When are you going to be able to go on?" My time is precious. If it's delayed, you can't afford it. ”
After speaking, he looked at everyone with some unhappiness.
In fact, he is not to blame, he is really in a bad mood today, and he only knows that the carriage is broken when he goes out in the morning, otherwise, he would not have taken this crowded ox cart.
Moreover, looking at the happy appearance of the Ye family, I don't know why, he felt very uncomfortable for no reason.
This person was dressed differently from everyone else, and seeing that he was annoyed at this moment, the onlookers automatically gave way in his sharp eyes, so that Zhu, who was originally in the middle of the crowd, suddenly bore the brunt.
This made Zhu Shi a little frightened and very uneasy, and only looked at Ye Feng with pitiful eyes, hoping that he could give a suggestion.
It seems that this little brother is a person who understands medical skills, after all, his father-in-law was just rescued by him.
What Ye Feng disliked the most in his life was this kind of disrespectful behavior.
It is indeed wrong to delay other people's time at will. But it is even more wrong to ignore the needs of the weak.
Therefore, no matter what the other party thought, after confirming that Xue Laohan's situation had stabilized, Ye Feng was fearless, and said seriously to the shopkeeper's eyes: "No matter how precious time is, can it be more precious than a human life!" You don't have to worry about your precious time, we'll be ready to go in no time. ”
Hearing Ye Feng say this, the man couldn't help it, snorted, and got into the car first.
Ye Feng is right, no matter how tight the time is, he can't care about it. And one of the other party is a child and the other is a patient, plus he is alone at the moment, and no matter what he does, it is estimated that the whole car will jump out against him.
It seems that it is better to keep your mouth shut.
After confirming that it was indeed time to go, the enthusiastic men just now reached out again and helped Xue Laohan into the carriage and placed it.
For them, it was just a little effort, and they all felt that what Ye Feng said was right, and they were a little dissatisfied with the shopkeeper in their hearts.
The shopkeeper was fine, not only did he not help, but he also sat at the front of the carriage by himself, occupying a position with good air and sight.
This kind of person is really unwanted.
The Ye family was originally afraid that Ye Feng would anger the shopkeeper by saying this, so he had to stand up and protect him. She was prejudiced against the rich people in the city.
She thought about it, although Chen Jixing didn't have anything, he had the strength, and when he got into a fight, he didn't lose to the shopkeeper at all.
Anyway, everyone won't see each other again in the future, so she is not afraid of offending each other.
Who knows, although the other party is unhappy, he also understands etiquette, just sits quietly and does not make trouble. Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with Qianyan in his arms.
It's just that she doesn't plan to let Ye Feng sit with the Zhu couple anymore. She noticed just now that the couple was too enthusiastic about Ye Feng.
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be diligent if you have nothing to do, and you will be either a traitor or a thief.
Moreover, Ye also vaguely felt in his heart that if it weren't for this couple, Ye Feng would not have been involved in this headless entanglement.
However, when he was about to open his mouth to call Ye Feng over, he couldn't sit down beside him at all, and even if Ye Feng came over, he could only stand. Second, Ye Feng seemed to care about the couple at the moment.
Also, the man just fainted, and just woke up at the moment, Ye Feng, this kid knows some medical skills, and he may be able to help a little by following him.
Thinking of this, the Ye family didn't call Ye Feng over.
It's just that his eyes have been staring at Ye Feng, preparing that if the other party wants to do something unfavorable to Ye Feng, he will be the first to rush over.
The Ye family is now like a frightened bird, and he only thinks that there are bad people everywhere. Especially when she was waiting for the ox cart just now, she heard that those few flowers couldn't be coaxed, and she was so arrogant that she dared to go directly out of the ** child, and her heart couldn't be quiet.
Who knows what kind of heart the husband and wife wish to be safe!
On the other side, it was still by the window, Ye Feng let Xue Laohan get close to the window, and let Zhu Shi help him, while he took care of him inch by inch.
After a while, seeing that Xue Laohan had indeed stabilized, he said to Xue Laohan: "You are probably suffering from heart leakage, so don't overwork and get emotional." In this way, it is actually not a big deal. ”
Xue Laohan and Zhu listened carefully, and when they saw that what Ye Feng said was no different from what the doctor said, they felt more and more that Ye Feng was a person who understood medical skills. Thinking of this, Xue Laohan and Zhu's eyes gradually dimmed.
If they had a little hope just now, then the little hope they had at this moment was also shattered. They knew in their hearts that their son was abducted by Hanako, and they didn't know if they could eat enough, so how could they have the opportunity to study medicine?
The child in front of him, although he looks alike, is definitely not his son.
Seeing that the eyes of Xue Laohan and his wife suddenly lost their brilliance, Ye Feng thought that they were worried about their condition. Thinking about it, Xue Laohan has this disease, which will indeed lead to one less strong laborer in the family.
However, Ye Feng suddenly felt that he was too strange, why did he care so much about the couple.
Presumably because they were in a good mood just now, let yourself sit, Ye Feng thought in his heart.
In this way, several people talked for a while, and Ye Feng saw that the other party was a little tired, so he asked him to close his eyes and rest for a while.
Nothing to say along the way.
Because of this sudden accident, it was indeed delayed for some time. In addition, the driver took into account the physical condition of the other party, so the speed of the car was deliberately slowed down.
When the ox cart arrived in the county, it was half an hour later than expected. But most people don't complain too much, after all, this is a real emergency, and no one wants it.
Except for the man who seemed to be in charge.
When they got out of the car, Xue Laohan and his wife thanked Ye Feng again and again. Zhu Shi was even more reluctant to hold Ye Feng's hand and was reluctant to leave.
However, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to separate. They still have to go to the city to find a place to stay, and Ye Feng told him all the way not to be too tired, it is best to rest for a day before going back.
The man who seemed to be the shopkeeper kept it for the end because he brought back the most goods.
Ye Feng was a little tired, so he sat in the ox cart, wanting to wait for everyone to get off the car before leaving, and also took the opportunity to rest. Besides, he didn't want to squeeze around with everyone, it was really boring.
Chen Jixing took Ye and Qianyan to get off the car early, and was watching outside, waiting for the ox cart to return to the village.
That person originally didn't look at Ye Feng right, and Ye Feng just made him make a fool of himself in public. When Ye Feng said that, the people in the car felt that he was a numb person, so he was very unhappy.
Now seeing that everyone got up and got out of the car, Ye Feng was still sitting there and didn't get out of the car, so he was a little suspicious that he was blocking his own unloading, and it was late today, the main family would definitely have a whisper, and the unhappiness in his heart changed from three points to seven points, because he said angrily: "Get out of the way." ”
Ye Fengyuan is also a left-minded person, he eats soft and not hard, and when he saw the other party like this, he pretended not to know more and more, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Now this shopkeeper is gone, co-authoring this kid is deliberate.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, and even had some physical contact, the driver hurriedly stepped forward to say good things.
Those who do their job are most taboo to have disputes in the car.
Moreover, the big and small in front of me look like they don't get along. Therefore, just blindly saying that it is not easy to catch a car by yourself, what you have old and young, etc., this is not only for the big ones, naturally, but also for the small ones, anyway, it is pitiful.
Ye Feng was a little unbearable when he saw him like this, he didn't plan to do anything originally, he just wanted to be angry with the shopkeeper. Therefore, he took the initiative to stand up and get out of the car to go to Chen Jixing.
Seeing that Ye Feng took the initiative to get out of the ox cart, the shopkeeper's anger also disappeared.
He didn't want to do anything, but he was in a bad mood today, and he was provoked by Ye Feng, so he lost his temper.
He wasn't like that on a normal day.
The driver was relieved to see that everything was fine, and he diligently helped the shopkeeper move the goods.
When the last vase was moved, the shopkeeper-like man took out the fare from the money bag, plus the cost of transporting these porcelain, thought about it, and added ten yuan, which was not easy for the driver, and gave it to the driver.
The driver took the copper coin, but he knew a lot about the weight of the tentacle, and he was grateful and thanked him.
"This shopkeeper looks fierce and unkind, but it's actually a good one." He thought to himself as he pondered.
The author has something to say: Many parents who have lost their children always feel that if they reunite with their children, they can recognize them immediately. But in fact, after the child is lost, especially those who are lost at a young age, the appearance will change dramatically in a few years. Just like Xue Laohan and Ye Feng, even though they meet, they don't know each other.
Therefore, I hereby call on all the families who have lost their children to go to the local public security to collect blood in time, compare DNA as soon as possible, and strive to reunite as soon as possible.
