Chapter 13: The Broken Bridge
Early the next morning, when the moon was still hanging outside, Jiang Xi and Li got up.
She glanced at the sky, and it was no more than four o'clock now.
The things were packed up last night, and when the river got up, the Li family had already made breakfast.
In the house, the old man woke up when he heard the movement, opened the door and walked out.
"So early, you're leaving?"
Li Shi looked back and found that the old man was coming, so he hurriedly said: "Dad, this early morning, there is still dew, why did you get up." It's cool in the morning and evening, and if you don't pay attention, the wind will be cold, so go back and rest. ”
The old man shook his head.
"I can't sleep when I wake up, and I'll just come out to see you off."
After casually picking up two mouthfuls of porridge, Jiang Xi and Li gradually began to walk towards the town under the old man's eyes.
It takes almost two hours, or four hours, to get to town.
Jiang Xi thought that if he carried his mobile phone, he would definitely be the person with the highest number of steps that day in the circle of friends. It's a pity that in this era, let alone a mobile phone, even a mobile phone case can't be had.
After turning over several mountains, the sky also turned crescent white, and the sun slowly emerged from the top of the mountain, like a freshly cooked egg yolk, orange and orange.
"The sunrise is so beautiful!"
Li Shi listened to her words and looked up, back then, the day her husband left, it was also such a rising sun, carrying the hope of the family.
In my heart, there was a faint uneasiness.
The husband left and didn't come back, and his hopes were dashed, and whether it would be the same this time, and his hopes of working were still dashed.
As soon as he thought like this, suddenly, Li's gaze fell on a wooden bridge in front of him, and his face became extremely ugly.
Jiang Xi withdrew his gaze to look at the sunrise, and saw that Li's face was not good, so he followed her gaze.
Suddenly, the thin brow furrowed.
"Who did this!"
She ran forward and glared at the small wooden bridge that had been cut in two by the brook.
Yesterday, she was fine when she passed here, and there were still traces of being cut by a knife on this wooden bridge, which looked man-made.
"This ...... How can this be? ”
Like a red-hot iron poured with cold water, all hope is extinguished at this moment. Li's feet were weak, and the whole person lost his spirit.
"Xi'er, why do you say God is doing this to us?" Li, who lost her backbone, hugged Jiangxi and began to cry bitterly, she thought of her husband who had not returned for more than half a year, and thought of her elderly father-in-law and mother-in-law at home.
"God, this is our family's life! How can this live! ”
"Mother, don't worry about it first, it's not God who wants our lives, this bridge was cut by someone, and God didn't target our family. Don't cry yet, I'd like to see if there's another way to get there. ”
It was summer, and although there was not much water in this creek, it was very urgent, and Jiangxi and Li were both landlubbers, and it was impossible to swim over, so they had to find another way.
Li was still sad and frightened, and muttered: "Few people in our village come out, how can someone cut down this bridge, and no one in this village has offended outsiders." ”
Her casual words made Jiang Xi think of one thing.
Yesterday, when she and the Li family went out, they seemed to hear a handyman of the Shen family talk about something.
At that time, they got together and muttered, and she didn't hear it clearly, but it seemed to have something to do with them staying in the Shen family to do things. She only heard the words "two mothers-in-law, Yang in charge, and received money."
Suddenly, she had an eyebrow.
This is clearly done by those people, and they are afraid that they are blocking their jobs.
