Chapter 153: The oil runs out and the lamp withers

Hearing Cai Jun's voice, Cai Baoman, who was not afraid, didn't even look back, ran directly towards the crowd, and looked behind him after standing firmly, but there was still no one.

Cai Jun next to him did not stop, still crying, grabbed Cai Jianguo's hand, and ran to the yard, everyone was stunned by his noise for a while, at this time Chen Lianhua suddenly said, I have to hurry up and call Zhang Lao.

"I'll go, I'll go."

Cai Baoman reacted, nodded and walked outside, this situation, it is estimated that only Zhang Lao can solve it, what is wrong, no one can say.

"Dad, you go to the village chief's house to borrow a bicycle, hurry up!"

Chen Lianhua hugged Cai Dani and shouted in the direction of Cai Baoman.

Cai Baoman replied and disappeared into the darkness.

Half an hour later, Cai Baoman and Zhang Lao walked into the courtyard, Cai Jun at this time was hoarse because of crying, and he didn't make much noise, but the tears couldn't stop flowing out.

"Elder Zhang, you are here, take a look, this kid is crying and making trouble, talking nonsense." Chen Lianhua looked at Zhang Lao and said nervously and anxiously.

Zhang Lao didn't speak, and walked to Cai Jun's side, Cai Jianguo hugged Cai Jun and grabbed his hand so that he wouldn't kick Zhang Lao with his hands.

"You let go of the child."

Zhang Lao grabbed Cai Jun's hand, watched him shout desperately, his eyes were flat, and suddenly his eyebrows frowned, signaled Cheng Qian to grab his arm, and began to check Cai Jun's pulse, his face became more and more ugly.

"What did you give your child today?"

Zhang Lao's words, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Chen Lianhua stepped forward, looked at Zhang Lao and replied: "The broken rice porridge and pickle strips I ate at my house for breakfast, as well as some sauced beef, and the yellow steamed bun I ate at noon, I don't know at night." ”

Zhang Lao looked at Cheng Xiaodong, sighed, reached out and gently pinched the back of his neck, Cai Jun opened his mouth slightly, and then closed his eyes and fainted.

"Son!"

Cai Jianguo shouted in a panic.

"It's okay, I pressed his acupuncture points and let him sleep for a while, if he keeps shouting like this, sooner or later the child will be exhausted."

Zhang Lao explained, Cai Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, carried Cai Jun into the house, and put him next to Zhang Wenfeng.

"Why haven't you woken up yet?"

Looking at Zhang Wenfeng on the kang, Zhang Lao was even more shocked, walked over and looked at her face, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"Hey, that's weird......"

Zhang Lao probed Zhang Wenfeng's pulse, his eyes looked at a place in a daze, his face was gloomy, everyone didn't dare to interject, and stood quietly next to him.

"It stands to reason that I should have woken up a long time ago, I can't always be so sleepy!"

Zhang Lao said to himself, turned his head to Cai Jun's side again, his eyes suddenly fell on the soup bowl on the kang table, got up and walked over.

"This is the pig's heart soup I stewed for the two of them, by the way, Junzi also drank his bowl just now."

Zhang Lao stirred a few times with a spoon, scooped out a spoonful, put it in his mouth and tasted it, then another mouthful, his eyes were half-narrowed, his expression was strange, and no one knew what his reaction was.

Chen Lianhua took Cai Dani's hand tightly, I don't know why, she was afraid that it was because of drinking this soup, then she would definitely die of guilt.

"Where did this pig's heart come from?"

Zhang Lao put the bowl on the table and looked at Cheng Qian with a gloomy face.

"The village chief sent it."

Cai Jianguo didn't know what was going on, Elder Zhang would be so angry.

"This is not a pig's heart at all, it's strange to drink this kind of soup!"

Zhang Lao patted the table angrily, looked at the two people lying on the kang, and frowned.

"Why isn't it a pig's heart, I washed it with my own hands, I still don't know the pig's heart."

Cai Jianguo was like a second monk, confused, looking at Zhang Lao and explaining.

Chen Lianhua, who was next to her, rolled her eyes, as if she thought of something, patted her thigh, walked to Cai Jianguo's side and said:

"I remembered, when this pig's heart was cut, there was no pig blood flowing out, and the color in it was not right, I thought it was strange at the time, and then I thought about it, maybe the village chief stayed too long and was reluctant to eat, so it changed color."

"That's not a pig's heart at all, such a fake pig's heart, the county abounds, that is, to deceive the people in the mountains, alas, I just said, how can it still be like this these days!"

Zhang Lao sighed, looked at the two people on the kang, took out the needle wrap from his back pocket, lit a few more oil lamps, and administered needles to the two people to calm the shock.

"After all, I can't believe this thing that doesn't require money."

Chen Lianhua next to her was not convinced by Cai Jianguo's family, and said quickly beside her.

"Alas, let's not say a word, the most important thing now is to let them and their mothers stabilize, if they continue to be so noisy, something will definitely happen."

Cai Cai Baoman was beside him, reminding him softly, Chen Lianhua closed her mouth, looked at Zhang Lao's side, and didn't talk more.

Cai Jianguo sat in the corner, staring blankly at the bowl of soup on the table, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Tomorrow I'll go to the market, I'll buy pig hearts, you're too young."

Zhang Lao gave Cai Jun the last shot in the head, stood up and said, looking at Cai Jun's head like a hedgehog, Cai Jianguo's heart was like a knife.

"Mr. Zhang has seen a lot of knowledge outside in the past few years, and a few of us naturally can't compare, with Mr. Zhang, we can rest assured."

Cai Baoman looked at pouring a bowl of water for Zhang Lao and handed it over, and said with a light smile.

Zhang Lao wiped his hands before taking the water bowl, and drank all the water in one sip, Cai Baoman wanted to refill the bowl, but was stopped by Zhang Lao.

"Oh, if you want to talk about the doorway outside, you don't know, true and false, false and true, what you eat is like that, but it's this pig's heart, a life-saving thing, how can it mess around."

Zhang Lao sat on the chair and took a breath, pointed to the two people on the kang, and said righteously.

"Zhang Lao has traveled north and south in the past few years, and he has a wide range of knowledge, unlike us, who nest in this ravine all day long, and don't understand anything."

Cai Jianguo rolled a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Lao, Zhang Lao waved his hand and said not to smoke, and also asked Cai Jianguo to smoke less, cigarettes are not a good thing.

Cai Jianguo took the cigarette, didn't put it in his mouth, put it on the edge of the kang, and looked at Zhang Lao twice.

"I heard that there seems to be a funeral in someone's village in your village, why didn't I hear the sound of drums?"

Zhang Lao looked at Cai Jianguo and asked.

"Funeral, no, no funeral."

Cai Bao looked at Zhang Lao with a confused face, and glanced at Chen Lianhua, who also shook his head.

"That's not right, then before I came over, I seemed to hear someone's crying miserable, and there was no funeral?"

Zhang Lao's words, everyone reacted, what he heard must be Zhou Mingyuan's family, thinking of this, everyone sighed, gloomy faces.

"What's going on, what's wrong?"

Seeing that their faces were wrong, Zhang Lao also began to get nervous.

"Old Zhou's family at the entrance of the front street, do you remember that blacksmith shop, his pigs were plagued, and they all died in two circles, eighteen heads."

Cai Baoman sighed again as he spoke, no matter when this matter was mentioned, it would be regrettable and chilling.

After hearing Cai Baoman's words, Zhang Lao's eyes sank, and whoever listened to this matter felt uncomfortable.

"Eighteen pigs, it's not a trivial matter, who is so lacking in morality, doing such a thing that hurts nature and reason, and harms people's money?"

"The old Gengtou in the courtyard next door to his house, he is old, I really don't know what kind of hatred he can have, he can be so ruthless, eighteen pigs, what is the difference between this and asking for the life of the old Zhou family."

Cai Baoman picked up the cigarette on the edge of the kang, lit it and smoked it, and said with a sigh.

"This Zhou Mingyuan's two sons fled to our village at the beginning of the disaster, at that time, the east family had a mouthful of rice, and the west family had a mouthful of food, and these two people had the ability, Zhou Mingyuan worked as a blacksmith, and his daughter-in-law raised a good pig, and at the end of the year, all of them were fat and strong and sold for a good price, and the two of them kept to themselves, and their lives were good, and they didn't forget the village, where did they have any grudges!"

Chen Lianhua sat on the threshold with Cai Dani in her arms, thinking about the suffering scene at that time, and she still remembered it vividly.

"You can't say that, after all, the front street is partial, and the two of them live there, and we can't hear about it, this matter, let's not mess around, isn't the village chief investigating and adjusting, let's just wait for the letter."

Cai Baoman's words made Zhang Lao praise repeatedly, patted Cai Baoman's shoulder, and gave a thumbs up.

"Big country, this is good, you can't mix this matter, don't interject a word, the old Zhou family is helping you, that's with your affection, since this happened, there must be a holiday with your neighbors, so I don't know if you don't say much, isn't there an old saying, don't go through others, don't persuade others to be kind!"

Zhang Lao's words, everyone didn't speak, just nodded.

"You don't have to worry about the pig's heart, I'll go to the market tomorrow, and when I pull out the needle later, they will wake up in less than an hour, Xiao Guozi, you remember, you must take care of the two of them, don't be frightened and stimulated, don't tell your daughter-in-law about the affairs of the village."

Mr. Zhang knew Cai Jianguo's character, and he told his daughter-in-law whenever he had something, so he specially instructed him.

"I'm going back, it's so late, let's rest early."

Zhang Lao pulled out the needle, packed up his needle wrap, took the back bag and walked out, it was still the same, Cai Jianguo sent him back, and along the way, the two talked a lot.

"Junzi, this kid is smart and sensible, I feel distressed about this matter."

Cai Baoman borrowed a flashlight from the village chief's house, illuminated the road, and looked at Zhang Lao and said.

"There are some words, I didn't say it in my heart, Junzi is young, frightened, and hallucinations, as for her nephew and daughter-in-law, alas, ......"

When Zhang Lao said this, he suddenly sighed and stopped to look at Cai Baoman.

"What's wrong with Zhang Wenfeng?"

Cai Baoman didn't know what Zhang Lao meant, so he had to ask and wait for him to say.

"Her condition is not very right, I took her pulse twice, and found that she has heart disease, and she is so frightened, she has heart failure, and the oil is running out."

When Cai Baoman heard the last sentence, his hands couldn't help but tremble, looking at Zhang Lao, his mouth was not good.

"Ordinary people are frightened, they can wake up after an hour of sleep, you look at her again, it's been a few days, and she's still groggy and shows no signs of improvement."

Zhang Lao sighed as he spoke, and continued to walk forward, Cai Baoman followed, looking at Zhang Lao's back, and his heart was not good.

"Then send it to the hospital, is there any help?"

Cai Baoman asked, but Zhang Lao shook his head and waved his hand, saying that it was futile to run out of oil and run out of lamps.

Promised Zhang Lao, this word will be in his mouth and don't say it again, Zhang Wenfeng's situation is in line with the will of God, even if it is sent to the hospital, it is in vain, it is better to let her stay at home with her family for a few more days.

Holding this matter in his heart, Cai Baoman lay on the kang and couldn't fall asleep, and by the moonlight, he could see Chen Lianhua's face next to him.

He put on his clothes and sat up, leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette, his eyes always on Chen Lianhua's body.

Chen Lianhua whispered, and in a daze, she didn't hear what she said, so she turned over, and Cai Baoman covered the quilt for her with one hand.

Unexpectedly, this woke up Chen Lianhua, she turned to look at you, Cai Baoman took the cigarette and snatched it, crushed it and threw it on the ground.

"How many times have I told you, your lungs can't smoke, you can't smoke, are you dying, so disobedient, is it possible to leave us alone!"

Chen Lianhua's words made Cai Baoman think of Zhang Wenfeng's illness, and hugged Chen Lianhua, and the strength of his arms was very tight.

"Big country, big country, you're about to kill me, you let go."

Hearing Chen Lianhua's words, Cai Baoman realized that he had used too much force and let go of Chen Lianhua.

With a snap, Chen Lianhua patted Cai Baoman's arm and scolded him for his lack of morality.

Cai Baoman looked at Chen Lianhua and smirked, but did not speak.

"Big country, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what kind of cigarettes do you smoke, do you have something on your mind?"

Chen Lianhua felt that Cai Baoman was abnormal, turned on the oil lamp, sat up with her clothes on, looked at Cai Baoman and asked nervously.

Cai Baoman saw that Chen Lianhua was sleepy, so he didn't rush her to sleep, sighed, and hugged her in his arms.

"There are so many things happening in the village one after another, I am thinking, don't care if you are poor or not, it is best to have you by my side."

Cai Baoman's remarks, Chen Lianhua didn't expect it, raised her eyes to look at his chin, and touched his stubble.

"In these years, natural disasters and man-made disasters, I really don't know which one will come first, you two are good, I will be satisfied, and I don't ask for anything else."

"What's wrong with you, all of a sudden, saying something like this?"

Chen Lianhua felt more and more that Cai Baoman was wrong, and got up to look at him, her face full of worry.

"I'm fine, looking at Cai Jianguo's two sons, I'm afraid that you will have a good one, so that no one will cook for me, Cai Jianguo can still come to our house and have you do it, when the time comes, where will I go to eat!"

Cai Baoman's words came to his mouth, swallowed again, and looked at her with a joking face.

"The more I say it's not serious, I won't say it, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep, you can sit here by yourself."

Chen Lianhua pretended to be angry and lay down, blew the oil lamp, and seeing that Cai Baoman had not moved, she turned around again, looked at him, and after a while, fell asleep again.

If something happens to you, I don't have a place to eat, Wen Feng can't say how long she can live, the meaning of running out of oil and lamp is dry, it is okay to say that it is a month, it is okay to say that it is half a year, her body will come to an end, at that time, Cai Jianguo's life will definitely be even more sad.

No way!!!! I can't let Cai Jianguo watch Zhang Wenfeng die without knowing anything.

Cai Baoman suddenly flashed a thought, put on his clothes and shoes and opened the door and walked out, it was quite cold at night, he had a cold shiver when he went out, and now at the door of Cai Jianguo, he settled down and hesitated for a long time before knocking on the door.
