Chapter 61: Pain
Li Chun's heart was like being stuffed into a mess of mud and wanted to vomit, he wanted to beg Liu Wang to give him a little time, whether it was a year or half a year, as long as he gave himself a chance. But he couldn't say anything now. His head was dizzy for a while, a sharp paw was churning his brain, and there was also a belly in his stomach that was wringing his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.
However, he is the best at enduring pain, as long as he endures this breath, he will definitely not show weakness in front of anyone except Xiaozhi.
"Dad, what mistake did my sister make that you want to lock her up?" Wicker asked timidly, she was specially arranged to go to bed early last night, but she also listened to such a big movement at home. When I woke up in the morning, I saw my father and pleaded for my sister.
Li's mother was also begging on the side: "There is no cover in the house, and the eldest girl is only afraid of freezing sick this night." ”
Liu Wang held on to the majesty of the head of the family, and everyone pleaded before he snorted and threw the key on the table. Mother Li was busy picking it up and ran to the ear room, opened the door and saw that the willow branch had shrunk into a ball on the ground because of the high fever.
Mother Li called the eldest girl to go up and help her, and the tears came down. Liu Wang's slap last night was extremely heavy, the thin white flesh of the willow branch couldn't help it, half of her face was swollen, and the nosebleeds dried up and turned tan, peeling off into fine lines, at first glance it seemed as if she had terrible markings on her face. Mother Li screamed, wiped her tears and said angrily: "Where is this father and daughter, this is the enemy of the previous life." ”
Li Shi had a pair of blue eyes and a sallow face, and he burst into tears when he opened his mouth: "You are really good, isn't Zhi'er your blood and bones?" In short, I was not good, I didn't have the energy to run the house and didn't discipline the child well, which delayed her. ”
The willow branch is menacing, and every day is sleepy, the whole body is hot, the body is flushed, the teeth are clenched, and the medicine must be pried open with a spoon before it can be poured in. Mama Li pinched her and pinched out an inch-long nail mark before she opened her eyes to take a look, and closed it again in a daze. Dr. Liu didn't have a better way, so he only told him to take medicine on time every day, take more care, and try to diverge as much as possible.
Wicker was so frightened that she cried, thinking that her sister would not survive. As soon as the willow branches fell, the family was in chaos in an instant, pots and pans were piled up in a blink of an eye, Li's mother didn't have time to buy vegetables, and she dealt with things hastily every day, the wicker was still small, and Li only knew how to cry, and he didn't even have a person in charge.
Liu Wang was spinning under the soaphorn tree, he suddenly looked up at the sky and sighed, and suddenly lowered his head and sighed. Thinking of his daughter's appearance, he quietly felt a trace of remorse in his heart, Liu Wang never thought that one day he would be heavy on his child, he was still a girl, and he beat her more than once. When I was ten years old, I went out to be a young man, and my master and brother beat and scolded me at every turn, and I was so bitter that I soaked Coptis juice that day. He served the master's family to eat and drink Lazar, and the master and the master took his youngest son to eat with the family, and he watched from the side. I saw a little person sitting on the master's lap, and the master fed the villain with a chopstick dish and ate a chopstick himself; Feed the villain another chopstick, and eat another chopstick yourself. He was extremely envious of the servant on the side, and secretly swore that he would be spoiled by a child in the future, and he would not let the child suffer a little.
Thinking about Liu Wang, he blew his nose loudly, alas, who knows the heart of being a father. Someone tugged at his sleeve and looked down to see that it was his little daughter, "Daddy, don't be sad, my sister won't blame you, Daddy is always Daddy." ”
Liu Wang's heart warmed, the big one was raised, but fortunately there was a caring little one. He picked up the wicker: "Mama Li is busy taking care of your sister, and Dad will take you to eat wontons at Chen's blind wonton stall." ”
Liu Wang watched his little daughter blowing the wontons in the spoon, looking innocent and cute, and couldn't help but be happy and sad, how long can such innocence be kept? In the blink of an eye, she will grow up, have her own ideas, and maybe be disobedient. Alas, I didn't want to do this anymore, and after eating the ravioli, he took a walk with the wicker.
At the beginning of the light rain, a line of new green sprouted in the cracks of the stone slabs, the wind blowing over was warm and cold, and the early blooming peaches and apricots quietly poked out one in the corner of the wall and alley. Liu Wang didn't want to go to the shop today, and wanted to take his little daughter for a good walk and calm down his unprecedented frustration.
He thought carefully about the phone call and said it all the way, thinking that he could impress Li Chun on both soft and hard sides, but who knew that Li Chun didn't say a word from beginning to end. Especially when it came to going to Feng's house to "have more opportunities", Li Chun also raised his head and looked directly at himself, his unsightly dirty and careful thoughts seemed to fall into broad daylight all at once.
Li Chun's clearly contemptuous, even ridiculous eyes, almost didn't let himself shout - do you think Feng Jiaojiao is not worthy of you? Feng Youcai said that he would give half of the Feng family to Feng Jiaojiao!
Fortunately, he still has a little bit of sanity, so he doesn't go crazy like this. This young man is so annoying, how can he have such a nasty vision, and he can provoke him like this without saying a word.
After the temple fair was separated, Li Chun went to the Treasure Pavilion to inquire about Bai Qiye's news. It wasn't Liu Wang's punches and kicks that hit him, what made his heart cold was the wild seed, what Xiaozhi's father meant by calling him like this; He could no longer bear to let his fate be decided by the kindness of others, and he was happy to give him a little hope, and turned his face and trampled him in the mud.
Bai Qiye is a believer, and he did leave a message, and the people of the Treasure Pavilion heard that his name was Li Chun, so they didn't stop him at the door because of his strange short hair and rustic clothes, politely gave him a cup of tea, promised to help him carry a letter to Nanquan, and politely sent him out.
Li Chun wanted to stay in the state capital and find some odd jobs to do casually, while waiting for a reply; People may be perfunctory, so when the waterway opens in spring, he will find a way to go to Nanquan by himself. This time, it will be far, far away from Huashi County, and before leaving, he wants to give Xiaozhi something good.
But he couldn't find a serious job. Only then did Li Chun know that he had no household registration. Li Da only kept him on a fishing boat like a cat and a dog, and did not give him a household registration, in fact, he is now a homeless person.
He ran to the cargo dock and wanted to get back to his old business, where he didn't need a household registration or even know who your name was, as long as you could do a living. But in winter, all the warehouses are full of people and have little work. So he did a foolish thing and went to give people a hard time.
Winter is the season for river repairers, taking advantage of the dry water to dig up river mud, dredge rivers, and repair embankments. Every village in Songning Mansion is comfortable, where there are people who are willing to endure this hardship, many people would rather pay someone to do this drudgery. Li Chun is so tall that no one doubts that he is eighteen years old.
Even though Li Chun is very able to endure hardships compared to his peers, the intensity of the hard work of digging river mud is still beyond his imagination. The river water in winter is biting, a heavy load of silt weighs no less than 100 catties, he has no experience in carrying this kind of heavy burden, the soles of his feet are slippery, the first fall hits, half of the people are pasted with a layer of fishy silt.
After the first day, he did not exaggerate that he felt that his muscles and bones were scattered, and he was so tired that he collapsed directly in the shed, and he had no strength to eat, let alone clean. And the perennial silt at the bottom of the river is poisonous, if you don't wash your legs and feet in time, it is easy to get nameless swelling and poison, pus and rotten sores, but he is tired and just wants to sleep, who fed him a few mouthfuls of water in the haze, but he is not even willing to swallow.
"Alas, I can't help it, my son is dead, and I only have a little grandson to help Zhang Dahu withstand the conscription. Little brother, how can you do this, you don't have a father or a mother, otherwise how could you let your body and bones be so bad, see that your skeleton has not grown. An old man nagged and rubbed his swollen shoulders with oil, and borrowed a hard-boiled egg to roll his wound back and forth, and the tender flesh of the wound was scalded red, and a large part of the wound was black.
Li Chun was moaning, it was clearly a miserable howl, and sweat flowed through the young man's lean and sturdy back like a wash.
