A lot has happened this winter, first of all my dad is sick. He was so ill that I had to go back to my hometown to attend to his old man. I couldn't undress with my mother, and stayed in the hospital all day long, waiting until my father had surgery, and everything was fine. I made a major decision to resign from the company and return to my hometown to serve the second elder.

This decision was carefully considered. As I get older, my parents are getting older, and my health is getting worse day by day, and there is no one around me who can't do it. Instead of working hard like a dog in the city for a house, it is better to come back and serve the elderly. In the days when my father was hospitalized, how many times did I shed tears behind my back, and my mother was hunched on her back and her hair was gray, and at this time I wanted to stand up as a son.

When I told Li Yang about this decision, although everyone was reluctant, they also understood. Copper lock patted me on the shoulder and said, if you need help from buddy, just a word. I smiled. When we came back from Tibet, Vice President Li seemed to be a different person, and he didn't pay attention to us at all. I didn't care about the money, but my old father was lying in the hospital, and the money at home was spent like running water, so I was so anxious that I went to the office to block Vice President Li a few times. Finally, I got 100,000 yuan from them. The 100,000 yuan is even my labor fee for going to Tibet.

The day before parting, our buddies were drunk, and the copper lock said with tears in his eyes, "I'll go to my hometown to play with me in a few days." I said, welcome, welcome, I will definitely get two firewood girls to serve you. The copper lock said seriously, I am now in lust.

Carrying my bags and taking the train, I returned to my hometown.

My home is in a small county town on the outskirts of the city, and it's only a two-hour train ride from the city, which is not far away. However, due to the topography, there is a section of the road leading to the county where the train cannot pass, and you can only take a long-distance bus.

This county town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the river on one side, the terrain is steep, quite historical, antique. The small county town was originally not famous, but a major event has recently occurred, which has quickly become a hot spot on the Internet.

It's not a good thing, because there was a supposedly very bizarre and cruel murder case here. There is a broken mountain village within the jurisdiction of our county, and three bodies were found in it, the specific details are not clear, but they are very evil uploaded on the Internet. I never look at those things, I always think it's.

The name of this county seat in my hometown is Chunshui County.

I sat in a long-distance bus and staggered to the county seat, eighteen mountain roads, and the car drove slowly and shakingly. There was smoke and dust on the dirt road, because it was deep winter, it was very cold, and the sky outside was not very good, it was very dark. I sat in my seat, holding my big bag, and let the car rock drowsy.

I was sleeping in a daze, when I suddenly braked sharply, and I was defenseless and hit my head on the back of the chair in front of me, giving me a painful tooth. How does this drive a car?

I saw the front car door open, and several figures walked in with the cold wind. The car was lit with small dim light bulbs, and the people in the car looked at it together, and no one spoke, silently. There were a few children who were only in their teens, dressed in the clothes that killed Matt, with red and yellow hairs on their heads, stud earrings, lipstick, and all of them turned pale without exception. At first glance, they all looked ghostly.

The boy at the head seemed to be seriously ill, his white and miserable face was slightly sallow, he coughed, and took out a long knife from his pocket. Several accomplices behind him also took out knives, and one kid was even more exaggerated, carrying a double-barreled shotgun directly.

The boy coughed and said to the whole car, "Don't let us get into trouble, take out the money yourself." We're good to leave when we're done. ”

The driver was not surprised, and helped maintain order: "You guys just slip away, don't be unhappy by yourself." ”

I saw this blockage in my heart in the back, our county was a famous bandit den before the liberation, but now the law and order is even worse, and it is common for teenage children to walk around the streets with knives. Especially this mountain road to the county, which is targeted by heroes from all walks of life, is simply a big fat meat. Today you rob it, tomorrow I rob it, after getting the most, it has become a norm, just run at high speed to pay the toll.

A few boys walked down the driveway, asking for money for each seat. They belong to the gentleman to rob, don't search your pocket, don't ask for death, it all depends on your mood to reward. But the minimum is ten yuan, and no matter how little it is, it is a personal insult.

If you want to come and go, you will come to me, and I will hand over the twenty dollars that I have prepared. The leading boy took it, and suddenly there was a cough and his back was bent. A few well-wishers stood up, and the bastards who followed them reacted quickly, and immediately put their knives up and their guns up: "What are you doing?!" Be honest with all of them! All sit down, sit down! ”

Then a little attendant patted him: "Boss, boss, is there anything wrong?" ”

The leading boy slowly raised his head, and in a moment, my eyes straightened, and my whole body tensed. He, he vomited blood! Blood was dripping down the corners of his mouth, his face was as white as paper, and the most terrifying thing was that his eyes were actually blood-red.

I was chilled at the sight, and I clutched my bag tightly and didn't dare to move. The boy wiped it casually, his face was covered with blood, and he looked extremely hideous and demonic.

The car was full of people, no one dared to speak, the atmosphere was depressing and solemn, and water almost wrung out.

The leading boy took out a small glass bottle from his bosom, opened the lid, and there was some water in it, and he drank it all in one gulp, and breathed a long sigh of relief. His face gradually flushed, and his eyes returned to normal.

Several people continued to walk inside and ask for money. I sighed secretly, and although I avoided danger, I was always a little uncomfortable.

I was leaning back in my seat, squinting and thinking, when I suddenly heard the cry of a baby "Wow Wow" from behind. Everyone in the car looked back to see that the bastard boys had already searched the back row, and there was a sister-in-law sitting by the window, holding a tightly wrapped child in her hand.

It was the child who cried. A boy pointed a shotgun at his sister-in-law's head and shouted, "Damn, my boss wants to see your child, that's his blessing." Slippery point! ”

The sister-in-law hugged the child tightly, her eyes were both fearful and firm, and she was almost hysterical: "Don't try to snatch my child unless you kill me." ”

"Fuck you." The kid pulled the trigger with his right hand, and he really dared to shoot.

The whole car can't sit still, it doesn't hurt you to ask for money, but hurting the innocent is a matter of principle. A carload of men is ready to move. The lead boy patted him: "Forget it, let's go." ”

Several people with guns and knives frightened the people in the car, slowly crossed the aisle and got out of the car. As soon as the driver closed the door of the car, the whole car immediately exploded, and they talked about each other, filled with righteous indignation, cursing these people who lost their conscience for not dying well, and cursing the county leaders for their inaction, and a nest of snakes and rats.

I closed my eyes and did not mix in this meaningless discussion. What lingered in my mind was the boy's blood-red eyes just now.

The look in his eyes at that moment gave people a very palpitating feeling. Those eyes should not belong to his age, because there is a kind of indifference that sees through the world, but also cruelty and viciousness.

Finally got home smoothly, and my mother said that I came back today and prepared a large table of dishes. My dad was also discharged from the hospital, recovered well, and is now able to get out of bed. Our family has survived the catastrophe and cherishes the feeling we feel now.

As long as the family can be happy and happy together, it is better than anything else.

I asked my mother if the 100,000 yuan was enough for medical expenses. Mom nodded and said, "Enough, enough." Your dad has medical insurance and a pension, so he can't use it. ”

"Yangyang, are you really thinking about coming back?" Dad asked solemnly.

I nodded: "I'm not leaving." Serve and serve you two elders. ”

Dad said, "We haven't collapsed on the kang yet, so we don't need you to serve us." I'm almost in good health, just have your mother. Boys should still go out and make a career.

I smiled wryly, tears almost coming down. From graduating from college and leaving home, until now. After several years of youth, I didn't save anything, how did I get out of the house and how to come back.

My mother coughed: "Lao Liu, your task now is to take care of your body, and you don't need to worry about other things." Yangyang, come back if you want to come back, Mom supports you. Tell you a happy event. You took back the 100,000 yuan, spent tens of thousands of yuan on your father's medical treatment, and I took out some of the rest of the money and handed it over to your aunt to take care of, and finally found you an iron rice bowl. You also know that in our county, there are no companies, and if you don't mix an iron rice bowl, you can't live at all. “

That's the reason why I think about it. Ask her what she does.

My mother said, "Next Monday, you will report to work at the county library." Now these posts are a radish and a pit, and finally there is an empty position, and a hundred pairs of eyes are staring at it. It's not easy for mom to find you this job, you cherish it. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, the county library is good, Qingshui Yamen, unrestrained, and reading books every day is also in line with my otaku temperament.

On Monday, I reported to the library. The director of the office read my resume and said that I had experience working in big cities and large groups, and praised me as a talent. Tell me to work hard here, and have a great future. I looked at the broken library and smiled wryly. In our county, everything is lively, what Internet cafes, playgrounds, discotheques, nightclubs, and the most deserted ones are libraries, and there is almost no figure. Also, who still reads books these days.

The library has three floors, the first floor is the reading room and the offices of leaders at all levels; The second floor is a place to borrow books, the area is quite large, rows of bookshelves, full of books, other than that, empty. Two staff members in white coats were bored playing with their mobile phones at the front desk.

The chief of staff took me around, and they ignored me. The director sighed and ignored them, and took me straight to the basement level.

"Xiao Liu, you will work here in the future."

Walking down the stairs to the corridor below, the lights were dim and gloomy, and I swallowed: "Director, what kind of place is this?" ”

"Don't underestimate this. This is the heart of our library, where old books and rare documents are kept. Our county town is not big, but it has a long history and has left a lot of valuable information. Your task is to organize and preserve it, and the task is very important. ”

She pushed open the door, and it was a large area, with rows of bookshelves in sight. However, it was full of unpleasant musty smell, and the lights were dim, and there was no daylight.

My heart sank, and there was no difference between this unfortunate place and going to prison.

I saw a tall, thin man in a white lab coat stepping on a wooden ladder and sorting out books.

"Xiao Liang, you guys have a newcomer here." The director coughed.

The tall and thin man got down from the ladder, walked up to us with his coat pocket, and suddenly smiled when he saw my originally indifferent face: "Liu Yang, do you remember me?" ”
