Chapter 44: Wangshan
To be sure, I'm one of the stronger ones among my peers.
It may also be because the old man's education method is different from that of ordinary families, anyway, I have been more introverted since I was a child, I think about many things in my head, and I am more calm when I encounter things...... Of course, it can also be said to be strong.
But this trip to Wangshan Village completely subverted my original perception of the world.
Let's put it this way.
Before I entered the industry, I was the standard kind of flower that grew up in a greenhouse, but since I entered this industry, the things I have been exposed to have become more and more complicated, not only make me scramble to deal with it, but also make me tremble and only feel that this world is not the way I imagined it.
"Master...... I want to save people...... But in the end, I couldn't save a few ......." I let the old man help me wipe my tears, trembling and said, "Am I too useless......"
"Nonsense!" The old man scolded: "Where are you useless?!" More useful than Lao Tzu!! ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man couldn't help but sigh, and said, I have already heard Qibao talk about the matter of Wangshan Village, and it is already very good that you can rescue these girls, not to mention that you have also rescued a few children......
When he said this, the old man suddenly paused, and his tone changed instantly.
"I don't know what you're doing to save them?! Looking for someone to stab you with a knife?! The old man hated iron and scolded: "Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, what kind of people raise what kind of children, do you really think those children don't understand anything?!" ”
I didn't say a word with red eyes, I just felt uncomfortable in my heart, and I panicked.
"Squeak."
At this time, the sound of the rat suddenly came from the foot of the bed, and before I could react, the big fat mouse climbed to the head of the bed on the quilt and looked at me curiously.
Maybe I'm self-inflicted, or maybe I'm wrong.
When the rat looked at me, his eyes were full of human worry, and finally he seemed to be sure that I was okay, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, squeaked, and kept rubbing his head against my face.
"You're useless little brute! It's all old goblins who have lived for many years! Can't even those ordinary people handle it?! The old man scolded angrily: "In the end, I let others hurt me!" Don't you feel ashamed? ”
The rat should be able to understand human words, and when he heard Lao Tzu scolding it, he immediately wilted, and lay on the pillow with his head drooping, without saying a word.
Coincidentally, just as the old man was counting the rats, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
"It looks like Shippo and they're back." The old man said.
"Quick!" I hurriedly urged, "Help me wipe my eyes!" Don't let them see it! ”
The old man laughed, wiped my eyes with a tissue, and asked me, "Do you know how shameful it is?" ”
When he finished wiping my eyes, the door of the ward was pushed open.
It was none other than Qibao who came.
Chang Long Xiang, Chen Qiuyan, Qibao, none of them falls.
"Master Shen! I'll bring you something to eat...... Old Shen, are you awake?!! ”
They stood by the door for a moment, as if they couldn't believe the reality.
The first one to come back to his senses was Qibao, who directly threw the lunch box in his hand to the ground, and ran to the side of the bed in a few steps to look at me: "Old Shen! What do you think?! Is there something uncomfortable?! ”
"Brother Shen!!" Chang Longxiang also ran over, standing by the bedside, his eyes were red, and his voice was trembling: "You can be regarded as awake!" I'm afraid you won't wake up!! ”
"Don't worry." I smiled reluctantly: "I'm hard, I can't die." ”
The moment she heard this, Chen Qiuyan cried out like a child, squatting on the edge of the hospital bed, holding my hand tightly.
"Xiao Shen, you can be considered awake!! We've been waiting for you for days!! ”
"Sister Chen, don't cry...... Isn't it okay for me......." I comforted her with a flushed face: "Don't cry! I'll faint again when I cry! ”
Chen Qiuyan is not easy to coax, this is true.
Usually the calmer the girl, the more scary it is to cry, and it takes a lot of effort to coax her well.......
"Little goose, you sit and rest for a while, and wait for him to ...... slowly" The old man persuaded: "This melon baby has just woken up, let him eat something first." ”
"Can't eat it!" Chen Qiuyan hurriedly said, "The doctor has instructed me!" You can't just feed Xiao Shen food! I want him to get better soon......"
Before Chen Qiuyan finished speaking, I interjected: "I'm not hungry." ”
"Would you like some water? Shall I pour you some? ”
"No .......," I laughed, "I want to talk to you......"
Qibao is worthy of being my little friend and best friend, and when you hear me say this, you immediately know what I am thinking.
"Ask whatever you want, don't worry, there's absolutely no bad news." Qibao pulled a chair and sat down on it, looking at me with Erlang's legs crossed.
"Brother Zhou ...... with those children"
"Brother Zhou has gone home, those children are still in the bureau, my uncle hasn't thought about what to do with them, and he still has a headache......" Qibao said: "If you can't do it, you have to send it to the orphanage." ”
"Nonsense, didn't the surname Zhou say it, he came to raise it." Chang Longxiang smiled.
"Raise an egg, these little beasts......" Qibao gritted his teeth, looked at me angrily again, and said, "You are also a big dog, and you are still worried about them at this time?!" ”
I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this, and my face was full of that heartfelt smile.
"Seriously, I don't blame those kids."
"Are you crazy?" Qibao was stunned.
I smiled vigorously and leaned gently on the pillow, staring at the ceiling fan in a daze.
"Actually, I have to thank them......" I muttered, "I have to thank them for teaching me a lesson.......
"Thanks, you bunny just don't have a brain!" The old man scolded: "You suffered this knife in vain?!" ”
"I don't think he's brainy, too." Qibao Gang said: "When is the time to thank them, you didn't start pumping them, you are benevolent and righteous!" ”
"Don't talk about it."
Chang Longxiang opened his mouth coldly, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen has already figured it out, haven't you heard it yet?" ”
"What do you hear?" The old man was stunned: "How do you know that he has figured it out?" ”
Chang Longxiang thought for a moment and replied.
"His eyes changed, and he became more intimidating than before."
Hearing Chang Longxiang's words, I also felt helpless, so I had to ask him, it turns out that I am not scary, do you praise me or hurt me?
"Brother Shen, what I said was true."
"Don't call me Brother Shen, you can call me brother in the future, don't you usually call me that......." I sighed, looked at Chang Longxiang with a smile on his face, and said very seriously: "If it weren't for you this time, my corpse would be cold, and with a brother like you, I'm a little embarrassed to be a brother, and I feel like I have to let you help me out of everything......."
Chang Longxiang hurriedly waved his hand and said What is this, his brother is not polite, he can't talk about anything that doesn't come out.
"Qin Xiaolan, what about them?" I asked, a little worried: "Are you all home?" ”
"I've been back a long time ago." Qibao smiled: "Originally, they wanted to wait for you to wake up and say goodbye to you, but let the old man drive you away, and none of them were left." ”
"After being abducted for so long, the family must be crazy, and if you can go back sooner and not go back, isn't this a curse." The old man said helplessly.
With this answer, the big stone in my heart can be regarded as hitting the ground.
This trip to Wangshan Village, my biggest gain is to rescue these girls, even if I didn't abduct all the girls in Wangshan Village...... Wrong!
"Wangshan Village is really dead??" I couldn't help but ask, "What about the girls who were abducted??" ”
Hearing me ask, Qibao and the old man looked at each other for a while, but neither of them spoke.
Chang Longxiang also looked a little embarrassed, he should know the answer, but he didn't know what to say, and looked at the old man at a loss, as if he was waiting.
"They're all dead." Chen Qiuyan said softly.
"Li Xiu killed?" I gritted my teeth.
Chen Qiuyan nodded and said yes, no one was left, and all of them died in the village.
"Don't think about it." The old man hurriedly comforted me, as if he was afraid that I would be angry: "It's good to be able to rescue so many people, we can't help anything else, so don't blame yourself!" ”
"I know...... I just thought Li Xiu would be soft-handed...... Will let them go......" I muttered, unconsciously clenched my fists, and my heart was extremely dull: "I really didn't expect Li Xiu to do things so desperately......"
When everyone heard this, they all persuaded one after another, and they told me not to think about it, and it was the right thing to take care of my injuries.
"What about the village chief?" I finally asked.
"Dead."
Shippo took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and was about to light it, when he suddenly remembered that it was a hospital, so he put the lighter back in his pocket.
"That old thing knew that Wangshan Village was destroyed, and he couldn't think about it, so he died directly on the stone mill at the entrance of the village, and he died so much that he simply ...... it."
