Chapter 7: Sneaking Down the Mountain
Seeing the young man who sent a message to him, Yu Chengyao put down the black booklet in a hurry, but thought that he was now imprisoned by his master to cultivate in this mountain.
It should be okay to go out for a while, right? Big deal, I'll take a look and come back! Yu Chengyao's heart began to get entangled, he was a little afraid, but in the end, his concern for Xiaohai overcame the psychological shadow of being afraid of being punished.
"Cheng Yao, hurry up, hurry up!" The young man's voice came again, and he stopped under a big tree not far away, and Yu Chengyao could see that he was holding on to the big tree and panting for breath at the moment.
This kid is Qiao Zi, and he is also Yu Chengyao's good buddy. However, he was born with poor physique and does not like to exercise, although he is tall but thin.
Yu Chengyao put the black booklet into the room, carefully closed the door, and then walked towards Qiao Zi.
"How's it going?" Yu Chengyao came to Qiao Zi's side, and he asked after helping Qiao Zi smooth out.
"It's okay, I just got discharged from the hospital, I can't jump yet, and I guess I will be able to recover again in two days!" At this moment, the beginning of autumn has passed, and the wind in the mountains is strong, blowing a goosebump tower on Qiao Zi's short-sleeved shirt exposed arm.
Seeing his fragile appearance, Yu Chengyao felt a little pity for this miserable buddy in his heart, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Let's go quickly!" ”
Yu Chengyao and Qiao Zi arrived at Chengyao's house first, and Pan Ling'er knew that he was coming back today, so she stewed a pot of chicken soup. After the two entered the door, they smelled the fragrance of Honggu's stewed chicken soup, which made Yu Chengyao feel relaxed for a while.
After fasting in the mountains for so long, my mouth is about to fade into the smell of birds. It's still good at home, with such a gentle sister-in-law to take care of herself.
"The soup is not so fast, simmer for another fifteen minutes, I'll go out and bring Luo Luo back first!" At half past four in the afternoon, today happens to be Friday, Luo Luo should leave school early, and at this time he should be anxiously watching the other children being taken away by his parents.
In fact, in 06 years, the kindergarten in the village, the school did not require parents to pick up and drop off their children. However, some children have a lot of pain at home. Just pick up and drop off by yourself, and gradually it has become a trend.
Pan Ling'er hurriedly went out, and Yu Chengyao looked at home. With my sister-in-law, the house is always so neat and clean. Everything is organized in an orderly manner, and it is indescribably warm and comfortable.
It's much better than being in the mountains, Yu Chengyao pulled over the stool and let Qiao Zi rest. He himself went to make a kettle, and the two chatted while waiting for Pan Ling'er to come back.
"Is Boss Li's short-lived boy coming out now?" Yu Chengyao took a sip of tea and asked.
Qiao Zi touched his head and said: "You came out within two or three days of going up the mountain, but this time he was suspended for a month, and in the future, the mining will have to be done by the people of our village, and he is not allowed to invite outside." ”
"Oh? Then he will agree? Yu Chengyao was a little curious, Boss Li is not a good talker, this time he made a fuss again, how could he compromise on such a big matter.
"The Ministry of Mines agreed, but the short-lived boy couldn't agree if he didn't agree!" Qiao Zi smiled and said, "The Ministry of Mines said that the people in our village are more professional!" ”
Yu Chengyao nodded, there was no doubt about it. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, the poor people in the poor countryside can only make a living in this way.
Mining technology that has been going on for several lifetimes is a profession that must be leveraged.
"What about compensation, what did the short-lived boy say?" Yu Chengyao stared at Qiao Zi, he was most concerned about this. Xiaohai's family was already short of money, and now something like this has happened.
The couple provided for their eldest son, who was in high school in the provincial capital, and also pulled a younger daughter who was in elementary school, and there were two elderly people in their seventies to take care of at home.
As soon as Xiaohai's incident happened, their family was about to fry the pot.
"Hey, the medical expenses are out, but he doesn't admit the follow-up nutrition expenses. The lawyer invited by Uncle Dagang can't do anything about him, and it is estimated that he will have to file a lawsuit! Qiao Zi saw Yu Chengyao asking, and his expression was anxious. The tone of his voice became weak, and he sounded frustrated.
"Male's Gobi's, short-lived boy. There's no need to file a lawsuit, I'll let him not give it, I'll go to him! When Yu Chengyao heard this, he suddenly became angry, and he scolded.
Slammed the table and was about to snatch the door, but seeing that the situation was not good, Qiao Zi hurriedly grabbed him.
"Why are you so angry? Lolo is going to be scared of you! Pan Ling'er's voice came from outside the door, and Yu Chengyao's scolding in the house just now was also heard in her ears.
"Uncle, you scared me, you pay for it!" Luo Luo was dressed in a fancy dress today, with two pigtails. It's a red face, and it's cute. However, this dress was dressed like a little village girl, but she smiled brightly when she saw Yu Chengyao.
She ran in from outside the door and threw herself into Yu Chengyao's arms. At this moment, Yu Chengyao was holding back a resentment in his heart, but when he saw Luo Luo rushing over, he swallowed it stiffly. This little girl has been sticking to herself since she was a child!
"Everything is thought out before you do it, and you have no head or brains to find someone. Now that it is a society governed by the rule of law, do you think that you can walk sideways with a hard fist? Pan Ling'er stood at the door and looked at Yu Chengyao, and then looked at Qiao Zi on the side.
Although there was a scolding in her words, her tone was very gentle and did not look like a curse. Maybe it's because of Qiaozi, an outsider, in front of outsiders, she is like this.
Yu Chengyao gradually calmed down, he nodded and said, "I'll go see Xiaohai later, and I'll talk about it after asking him specifically." Anyway, Boss Li's short-lived boy doesn't give him nutrition money, I will definitely not let him go! ”
Pan Ling'er shook her head helplessly, and approached the kitchen to bring out the meal that had already been prepared. Seeing this, Qiao Zi hurriedly got up and was about to leave.
Pan Ling'er smiled, stopped Qiao Zi and said, "Qiao Zi, let's eat together at home, and I will accompany Ah Yao to see Xiaohai later." ”
Qiao Zi stopped, looked back at Pan Ling'er, shook his head awkwardly and said, "No, my mother will beat me, I'm going back!" ”
Seeing Qiao Zi leave, Yu Chengyao frowned, and his mind was full of Xiaohai's injury. What if Boss Li really doesn't give money? Do you really want to grab him and beat him up?
Thinking of this, he felt a pang of weakness. Pan Ling'er's words are right, now it is a society under the rule of law. If you talk with your fists, you have to enter the bureau, and then you will have to trouble the village chief and his old man.
When the chicken soup was served, Pan Ling'er pulled Luo Luo, who was wrapped around Yu Chengyao, filled her with a bowl of rice and began to coax her to eat. Yu Chengyao had a sad face, not knowing what to do.
He lost his appetite, so he filled a bowl of chicken soup and sandwiched the big chicken thigh. was about to go out with a bowl of soup, Pan Ling'er hurriedly asked, "I haven't eaten anything, where are I going?" ”
"I'll go to Uncle Lan's house to have a look, and by the way, I'll bring a bowl of soup to Xiao Hai." Yu Chengyao looked back at Pan Ling'er.
"Then remember to come back for dinner!" Pan Ling'er didn't stop it anymore, but continued to coax her daughter to eat with a sullen face.
Yu Chengyao went out with chicken soup and went straight to Xiaohai's house. It's six o'clock, and it's a little dark, but you can still see it clearly.
Yu Chengyao arrived at Xiaohai's house, but the door was not locked. There was a thirty-watt incandescent lamp hanging in the hall, and the dim light made Xiao Hai's house look very dark. Yu Chengyao walked in with the soup, and their family was also eating at this time.
However, there were no grandparents and grandparents at the dinner table, and it is estimated that they are old, so they should go to rest early.
"Yao, why are you here?" The first person to see Yu Chengyao was Xiaohai's father, Uncle Lan. He looked at Yu Chengyao who walked in the door and asked in surprise.
"Yao, come and sit!" When Xiao Hai saw his good buddy coming, he immediately said enthusiastically.
"Xiaohai, how is your health?" Xiao Hai was wearing a hospital gown, although the lights were dim, but when he turned around just now, Yu Chengyao could still see how white his face was.
His face was thin and haggard, and he probably stayed in the hospital for so long and didn't have any nutrition to eat. He had to hang up potions and injections or something, and he became so haggard after being tortured.
Yu Chengyao blamed himself again in his heart, he invited him to mine. Now that people have become like this, they can't escape their involvement.
He walked over to Xiao Hai and carefully placed the chicken soup in front of Xiao Hai. Then he sat next to Xiao Hai, looked at Xiao Hai and asked, "What did the doctor say?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay. The doctor said that I would get better in two days, and then we would go to the mine together. Xiaohai was discharged from the hospital, and his mood seemed to be very good.
But the room looked lifeless, and Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan didn't speak again, just looked at Yu Chengyao silently. The expressions on their faces were a little dim, and their faces were gloomy under the dim light, which made Yu Chengyao feel that the two of them seemed to be not very happy.
"Have a good rest, this chicken soup was just stewed by my sister-in-law tonight, Honggu chicken soup. You drink to replenish your body, I'll go first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow! Seeing that the Lan couple were unhappy, Yu Chengyao got up to leave. So far, Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan have not said goodbye, and after Yu Chengyao left the stool, they buried their heads in eating.
The oppressive aura made Yu Chengyao run out of the house and return home. Luo Luo was sitting in front of the TV watching TV, and Pan Ling'er was sitting at the dining table eating alone.
Raising children is not easy, sometimes having to admit it. It is very hard for women, especially single mothers who have to drag their children with their own hands.
"Sister-in-law~" Seeing Pan Ling'er's lonely figure, her already suppressed heart made Yu Chengyao even more uncomfortable. He clearly knows what it is like to harm others and himself.
It's like his brother, who abandoned his sister-in-law and made his sister-in-law live so hard.
Pan Ling'er looked back at Yu Chengyao, and asked softly, "What did they say?" ”
"Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan were not happy, so I didn't stay longer." Yu Chengyao walked to the table in frustration, and a bowl of rice had already been served.
"Oh!"
Yu Chengyao didn't have an appetite and didn't eat much, so he poured some chicken soup into the rice and finished a bowl of rice in three or two clicks.
"I'm full~" Yu Chengyao got up, Pan Ling'er knew that he was leaving, so she said, "Let's stay at home!" ”
Yu Chengyao paused, then stopped, then thought about it and hesitated to stay overnight. However, he went into his room sullenly and fell asleep.
However, he never imagined that his dinner, which was like chewing wax, would also be the last dinner he and his sister-in-law and niece.
