Chapter 6: Stygian Town (4)
"Have you noticed, Wang Erniu said that his father is gone." I said when we passed by the mute old man who was sitting on a stone and smacking a cigarette for the third time.
"So what." Chang Yan said indifferently.
"Maybe this old man is his father." I pointed out the window, "Do you think he will also be called Wang Huan?" ”
Chang Yan looked out the window, then at me again, "You mean, he will be the one who died?" ”
I nodded and didn't speak.
"Stop." Chang Miao sat behind and patted me on the shoulder, "Let's take him with you." ”
I didn't object, I just pulled over because I also wanted to test my suspicions.
"Old man, I don't sleep at night, why did you come here to smoke?" Chang Yan took the lead in running over to talk to the mute old man. The old man looked up at Chang Miao, ignored it, and lowered his head to smoke a cigarette.
"Hey!" Chang Miao stroked his cuffs when he saw this, it seemed that he wanted to teach this mute old man a lesson.
"Well, what do you want to do?" I grabbed Chang Miao, who was about to step forward, and said, "Let me come." ”
"Uncle, aren't you sleepy?" I asked. The same mute old man just looked up at me and didn't pay any attention.
"Uncle, it's a big night, why are you smoking here alone?" I continued to ask, at which point to my mouth and shook my head.
"Haha, it's okay, Uncle asks you a few questions, do you know Wang Erniu who lives in Styx Town? If you do, you nod. ”
Hearing my words, the old man's eyes widened and his gaze looked a little excited. "Aba." The old man guttered, gesturing in his hands, as if trying to express something.
"Looks like you just know, he's your son?" Seeing the old man's reaction, I asked bluntly.
The old man nodded slightly, and stopped all movements.
Chang Yan and Chang Miao and I glanced at each other and continued to ask: "Uncle, I heard that Wang Erniu's daughter-in-law is about to give birth, why don't you go back and take a look, you are smoking here alone, and you don't want to hug your grandson?" ”
The old man looked at us in horror, indeed, as a stranger, he would know the whole about his family situation, and whoever he was would be puzzled. Soon, however, the old man withdrew his expression and replaced it with a look of expectation. The old man shook his head, and then there was a frustration on his face.
"Uncle, we are distant relatives of Erniu's daughter-in-law, who came from K City. A few days ago, I received a letter saying that Erniu's daughter-in-law was pregnant, and she was going to give birth in a few days. We don't know each other well here, why don't you show us a few of us? "Saying that, I gave Chang Yan and Chang Miao a look, and asked the two of them to help the old man up.
The old man hesitated, but did not resist, and followed the three of us into the car.
When the car drove near Wang Erniu's house, I deliberately slowed down. "Aba." The old man pointed to the shimmering house in front of him, which was indeed Wang Erniu's house.
Parking the car in front of the door, Chang Yan and Chang Miao helped the old man down from the car. Inside, the woman's screams of pain were still clear, and I knocked on the door, which, as expected, was completely muffled by the woman's screams, and no one answered.
"Aba." The old man came over, took out a key, opened the door in a few moments, and went straight into the house, followed by the three of us.
"Dad, where did you go, why didn't you come back with Wang Po? How dangerous it is to run around at night. Wang Erniu saw the old man enter the house, frowned, and his tone was slightly reproachful, "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, I hope the mother and son are safe." ”
Inside the house, the midwife I met on the road before was delivering Wang Erniu's daughter-in-law at the moment. It may be because there is one more person, and the light in the room is even darker last time.
When Wang Erniu glanced at the three of us, his expression was very surprised: "Who are you?" Then he looked at the old man and said, "You know each other?" ”
"Aba." The old man shook his head, then pointed at us and then at Wang Erniu's daughter-in-law.
Wang Erniu nodded, it seemed that he understood what the old man meant.
"Hehe, we saw your father sitting alone at the entrance of the town smoking in the middle of the night, and I was afraid that it would not be safe, so we sent it back."
"Thank you." Wang Erniu said. Although he expressed his gratitude to a few of us, the anxious expression was clearly visible on Wang Erniu's face.
"Wow! Wow! A baby's cry grabbed everyone's attention.
"Gave birth...... Raw! Wang Erniu went from nervous to excited, with tears flashing in his eyes.
"With ...... Put the ...... Target. Wang Po wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and said word by word.
"Congratulations!" As I spoke, I looked at the old man standing nearby. The old man's eyes were also full of tears, and he wanted to go over and take a look, but he quickly retracted the leg that had stepped out.
"Strange." I whispered to Chang Yan, "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this old man." ”
"Old man, is your name Wang Huan?" Hearing my words, Chang Yan walked up to the old man and asked.
"Although half of the people in our village are called Wang Huan, my father is not, his name is Wang Gouyu." Wang Erniu walked over with his son in his arms and said with a smile: "But my daughter-in-law's name is Wang Huan." ”
"No...... Good...... Two...... Cow, you ...... Daughter-in-law...... Woman...... Big...... Go out...... Blood...... Finish! As soon as Wang Erniu's words fell, Wang Po limped over in surprise.
"What?" Wang Erniu put the baby in the old man's arms and ran towards Wang Huan on the bed. "Huan'er, hold on. Mrs. Wang, come over and think of a way! ”
Wang Po shook her head helplessly and said, "Your daughter-in-law...... Bleeding is ...... Seriously. No way, unless...... Delivered to ...... Hospital, however...... Nearest ...... to town Hospital driving also ...... Two hours, not to mention...... We...... There are no cars yet. Wang Po tried to speed up her speech.
"We have." Hearing Wang Po's words, I said. Since I know that Wang Erniu's daughter-in-law is called Wang Huan, no matter what, I have to find a way to save her, "I'll go out and start the car, Wang Erniu, you will deal with Wang Huan, and then go with us." ”
"Thank you......" Wang Erniu's voice trembled a little, and he hurriedly handled everything for his daughter-in-law.
Chang Yan and Chang Miao and I sat back in the car, and Chang Miao said excitedly: "It's finally over." ”
"You can be happy to get her to the hospital alive." Chang Yan said half-jokingly.
"Brother, can you not have a crow's mouth?" Chang Miao glanced at Chang Yan, and her tone looked a little angry.
