Chapter 81: Bitter Life

"I went into the city to work as a laborer at a construction site, a day pay 15 a day, the work is not too tired, one day I was working on the construction site, suddenly a wire fell from my head and hit my body, at that time I was knocked to the ground by the current of the wire and fainted, the wire is an industrial electric current reached 380 volts, when I woke up, 90% of my body was burned, my face was burned and disfigured, and my ears were also deaf, my voice was also hoarse, The construction site only gave me some medical expenses, I stayed in the hospital for about a week and then discharged, because the medical fees paid by the construction site have all been spent, it was the hospital to kick me out, when I went to the construction site to find the foreman to compensate, the foreman found someone to drive me out, because they were afraid of compensating me for money, they did not admit that I was injured at the construction site, after all, I was deaf and dumb, to the point where I could not reason, at that time I really wanted to die, I hated that the wire did not give me electrocution at that time, let me live. At that time, I was unable to go back to my home, I was afraid that I would scare the children and my daughter-in-law when I returned home like that, I wandered outside for more than a year and lived by asking for food, and then I really missed my daughter-in-law and children, so I came back. When I came back, my daughter-in-law couldn't recognize me at all when she saw me, she regarded me as a rice flower, and you will never feel the bitterness in my heart" When Shen Jianguo said this, my eyes instantly moistened, and Uncle He stood in front of Shen Jianguo and looked at him silently. After Shen Jianguo finished talking about what happened to him, I felt that he was more miserable than my life.

"Then you can write and tell Sister Li that you are his man," I said to Shen Jianguo.

"I didn't study when I was a child, I couldn't even write my own name, I couldn't write at all and told me that it was his man" At this time, Shen Jianguo cried even more heartbroken.

"Then you are going to let me tell Li Hong that the man buried in the mountain behind his house who asked for food is the man who has been missing for three years, do you think this is good?" Uncle He asked Shen Jianguo, I also know in my heart what Uncle He meant when he asked, if it was her man who told Li Hong that the one who was buried in the mountain was her man, Li Hong would collapse instantly, and this matter would not be accepted by a normal person.

"Then what should I do, what should I do" Shen Jianguo squatted on the ground and slapped his head vigorously with his hand, and said helplessly, seeing Shen Jianguo like this, Uncle He and I were a little unbearable.

"Uncle He, let's find a way to help him, he's so pitiful," I walked over to Uncle He and said.

"This matter is too difficult, senior nephew, how can I help him" Uncle He was a little undecided at this time and asked me.

"Uncle He, I think Sister Li has the right to know the truth, I can't let Sister Li wait for him for the rest of my life," I pointed to Shen Jianguo and said to Uncle He.

"You're right, but if Li Hong knows about this matter, it's quite cruel" Uncle He was a little hesitant at this time, he felt that this matter was very difficult.

"Uncle He, think of a way to help them with the best of both worlds, Sister Li and Brother Shen are too bitter," I said to Uncle He again.

"There is only one way I can think of, and that is to let the two of them meet, if there is anything they can say, it is better for the two of them to make it clear, it is better than what I say" Uncle He looked at Shen Jianguo and said to me.

"That's all there is to it," I said, nodding.

"Dao Chief, Li Hong, she can't see me at all, and I can't hear me, how can I meet her," Shen Jianguo stopped crying, stood up from the ground, and asked anxiously Uncle Xianhe.

"I have my own way to let the two of you meet, you can follow me down the mountain" Uncle He said this and walked down the mountain.

"Uncle He, you walk slowly" is the so-called easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, I was afraid that Uncle He would fall, so I trotted to Uncle He's side and walked down the mountain with Uncle He's bloated figure.

"It's a pity that such a good child is an apprentice to Jiang Lao Er," Uncle He looked at me with a look of pity and shook his head and said, while I had nothing to say.

When I walked down the mountain with Uncle He, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the door of Sister Li's house was still open.

"Let's go up the mountain to find them" Sister Li was afraid that I would have an accident on the mountain with the master in the dark, so she took a flashlight and walked out of the house to meet us.

"Sister Li, you're so late, where are you going," I looked at Sister Li and asked.

"I don't worry about the little brother and the master on this big night, I want to go up the mountain to find the two of you, I am relieved to see you come back, you two don't stand outside, the weather is quite cold this September night, hurry up and drink some hot water to warm up" Sister Li beckoned me and Uncle He into the house.

"Okay" Uncle He answered, and we followed Sister Li into their house, and Sister Li poured me and Master He two cups of hot water and sent them to the two of us.

"The water is warm, it's not hot, you should drink it quickly," Sister Li pointed to the water cup and said with a smile to Uncle He.

"Thank you, Sister Li" After I finished saying this, I picked up the glass of water and drank it, in fact, I was not thirsty, I just didn't want to live up to Sister Li's kindness.

Shen Jianguo stood in front of Li Hong and looked at his daughter-in-law affectionately, how many times did Shen Jianguo want to touch Li Hong's face with his hand, when Shen Jianguo touched Li Hong's face, Shen Jianguo's hand passed through Li Hong's body at once, and he is now his daughter-in-law who can see but can't touch himself.

"Master, why are you so worried" Li Hong looked at Uncle He and asked, when Li Hong asked this, her face was a little ugly, she thought that Uncle He's matter should not have been done, otherwise Uncle He would not have shown such a sad face.

"Big sister, you have to be mentally prepared, if something happens, you must control your emotions and don't get too excited," Uncle He thought for a while and instructed Li Hong.

"Oh, master, you let me slow down first, and then you can tell me when I get better" Li Hong said nervously to Uncle He, Uncle He didn't speak, he nodded to Li Hong, Li Hong listened to Uncle He say this, and felt that what Uncle He said was definitely not a good thing.

"Okay, master, you say, I'll be relieved," Li Hong said to Uncle He after a while.

"Well, you close your eyes first, and you can open them when I tell you to open them," Uncle He instructed Li Hong again.

"En," Li Hong replied and closed her eyes.

Uncle He first sighed, then took out two willow leaves from his satchel and wiped them on Li Hong's eyelids, while his mouth was chanting the mantra to open the eyes of the sky.
