Chapter 276: The Ghost Fire Is Coming
After making a perfunctory phone call, Tan Zhida and Liu Yishou also left, but the car drove dozens of meters, and Liu Yishou stopped.
"There's no more gas."
"Didn't refuel when you went out?"
"I remember I added it."
"Is that a gas tank leak?"
Get out of the car and check, the fuel tank is fine.
Liu Yishou patted his head, remembering that he really forgot to refuel when he went out.
The two walked back to Lao Fu to see if he had gasoline at home.
Lao Fu's family only has diesel, no gasoline.
Lao Fu's son said that he saw a car on the side of Moon Fort, five miles away, and he could take a pot and go to the master to ask for some.
This was a good idea, but they didn't know the way to Moon Castle, so they let Lao Fu's son lead it.
The car stopped at the entrance of Moon Fort Village, there was no one next to the car, and when he got closer, Tan Zhida grabbed Liu Yishou and turned around and left.
Standing in the shadow of a tree, Tan Zhida whispered to Liu Yishou that he was a little familiar with this car, and if it was really driven by that person, then this gasoline could not be borrowed.
Liu Yishou said: "Why? ”
Tan Zhida said: "This person is not easy to talk to, it is very difficult to entangle, if you ask him to borrow gasoline, you will be given ten catties today, and you will have to pay back fifty catties later." ”
"How can anyone be so greedy?"
"That's who he is."
"Have you dealt with him?"
"More than that, he and I can say that they are incompatible."
"So what to do, I'm going back tonight."
"Call the mine and ask them to send it."
"There is only this car in the mine, and there is no gasoline in the mine, so it is not allowed to store flammable and explosive materials in normal times."
Liu Yishou continued: "The mine is far away, and it is too late, so it is better for you to call back and ask someone from your company to send it." ”
Tan Zhida looked into the distance and said, "Far water doesn't save near fire." ”
"What then?"
"There's a way."
Tan Zhida called the old Fu family's son aside and explained it, and the way he said was to arrange for the Yang family's son to steal gasoline from the car.
After receiving the answer, Tan Zhida turned around and asked Liu Yishou: "Do you have any money on you?" ”
Liu Yishou took out a fifty and a twenty.
He took it all over and handed it to Lao Fu's son, Xiao Fu took the money, took the hose oil drum, went for half an hour, and brought back half a barrel of oil.
Tan Zhida said: "This is too little. ”
Xiao Fu said: "There is not much oil in the tank, I heard the sound of the ground, and I breathed in the air." ”
Liu Yishou understood the performance of the car and said, "Just drive it back." ”
"You're saying this is enough gas to drive back?"
"Don't hit the throttle when going downhill, borrow more speed on the flat road, it's about the same."
Liu Yishou was cautious and calculated, and finally drove to the gas station on the outskirts of the city, refueled, sent Tan Zhida back to his residence, and rushed back to the mine overnight.
Here Lao Fu is busy pleading with everyone, and his son is about to take the high school entrance examination, I hope everyone understands and does not be affected by this matter.
Xing Yi made it clear: "He was also instigated by others, and it is also the responsibility of that person to be investigated." He didn't say that he knew both of them, but only hummed and said, "They are all people with names, surnames and status, and they can do this kind of indiscriminate thing." ”
Lao Fu bent down sharply and bowed to Xing Yi again and again to apologize.
There was no gas, the car couldn't move, so I had to stay at Fort Moon tonight and wait until tomorrow to figure it out.
The house was crowded, so the table was moved to the yard, and everyone sat around, drinking tea and smoking. Talking about the world, the affairs of this village and that village, the affairs of this and that family, the affairs of the elderly's body, and the children's study.
The eldest aunt asked the third aunt how to arrange the two nephews' studies.
The third aunt said, "How else can it be arranged?" As soon as the holiday is over, you have to go to the village-run primary school to register. ”
My aunt said: "The quality of the village-run primary school is not high, and I can't learn anything famous." The doll doesn't look silly, don't deal with the matter of reading casually. ”
The third aunt said: "Of course, it would be best to be able to go to the town to study, but there are no relatives in the town, and the school does not have a dormitory. ”
The person who set up the marriage took over the topic and said that the rural dolls want to change their fate, all depending on the vision of their parents, and there are many dolls that are not worse than those in the city, just because the parents are short-sighted and inconsiderate, of course, some of the conditions are too poor to consider. ”
"No, as the saying goes, you lose at the starting line."
"There is a family in our village, the doll has been smart since she was a child, and when she was a parent, she listened to people's suggestions, so she asked everyone to lead the way, picked a pig's leg, chickens and ducks into the city, recognized a family, that family is powerful, worked as an accountant in the water company, talked about it, and boarded the baby at his house, the family only had one daughter, so they took him as a little brother, and also helped him with his homework. It was only half a year, and the doll came back to the village, and at the village primary school, it was the first, and there was no comparison. ”
"This family has the eyesight to find such a good family."
"Isn't it? He bragged to us, saying that only if we were destined to meet noble people. ”
Speaking of this, I saw that the eldest aunt suddenly raised his hand and said loudly: "Noble? That's right, your words remind us. He turned his face, took Xing Yi's teacup, and told his family to hurry up and add water, and give the teacup to Xing Yi with both hands.
Xing Yi lied and hurriedly picked it up with both hands. He said: "You saved my two nephews, and the life-saving benefactor is a nobleman. This is really God's arrangement, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, there is no chance to meet and do not know, and today I have this opportunity, so I said, third aunt, what are you waiting for as soon as the holiday passes in town? What's in the town, the nobles in the city are right in front of you, if you don't hurry up to recognize each other, when will you wait? ”
The third aunt was stunned at first, and immediately came to her senses: "Isn't it? I've been confused all day, if it weren't for my aunt's words, I haven't woken up from my big dream. Turning his face to Xing Yi, he clenched his fists, "His great kindness and virtue he can't repay in his life, today in front of my aunt and father's relatives, I will officially state my position and give these two sons to you, let them be your godsons, so that there is hope for their cultivation and education." ”
As he spoke, he came to Xing Yi, swaying, his knees bent, as if he wanted to kneel for Xing Yi, so frightened that Xing Yi hurriedly wrapped his elbows around him with both hands, supported him, and hurriedly said: "You sit down first, sit down first, and speak slowly if you have something to say." ”
Just as the little son ran in, his father beckoned, "Where's your brother?" Go and call him, and you will come and worship Godfather. ”
But the younger son lifted up a branch and pointed to the distance and said, "Look, ghost fire, ghost fire." ”
A group of dolls rushed in behind, desperately shouting: "The ghost fire is coming, the ghost fire is coming." ”
The adults stopped talking, and they all looked up, and looked in the direction of the children, and there were indeed a few fires flickering on the mountain in the distance.
The children were still shouting, and the eldest aunt stopped them sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of ghost fire, it's a fire, a fire that people burn." ”
The dolls stopped shouting, and there were adults: "It seems to be a wild boar's nest, a place where no one usually goes, at this time, how to light a fire?" ”
For a moment the courtyard was silent, and only loud and stingy gasps could be heard.
