Ah Mao and I first waited for Uncle Long to come back from the mountain at the entrance of the village, and while I waited, I squatted on the side and smoked the cigarette that Cha Youping gave me.

handed it to Ah Mao, but he refused, he said: "Sisi doesn't like the smell of smoke, I never smoke." ”

I smiled and withdrew my cigarette, taking a closer look at the young man named Ah Mao.

He is not only tall, but also very handsome, and I can say that I am the most handsome Miao person I have ever seen. But he is too straight, he is straight to people and things, and he likes Sisi and makes no secret of it.

I asked, "Do you like Cha Sisi?" ”

"Of course, if Sisi's aunt hadn't died the year before last and couldn't get married, I would have come to the door to propose!"

"Do you know that she asked the man she liked to be planted by her?"

Ah Mao instantly looked at me vigilantly again: "How do you know? ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said that this was what Cha Sisi herself had told me; Ah Mao said to me very seriously that he knew and was willing to be planted by Cha Sisi, he would always love and protect Cha Sisi, if he betrayed one day, then he was willing to be drilled through the heart by Gu worms.

Ah Mao's true feelings don't seem to be pretending, I think he is indeed in love with Cha Sisi. But I've never heard Cha Sisi mention Ah Mao these days, and she probably doesn't like Ah Mao.

I took a deep puff of my cigarette and said in my heart that Ah Mao only knew that I was going to help Cha Sisi pay off his debts, and he didn't know that he would have to leave the village and go down the mountain after Cha Sisi paid off his debts.

"I live in Sisi's house these days, and she has always longed for the world outside the mountain.... If she were going down the mountain, would you follow her too? ”

Finally, Ah Mao's face changed, and he said, "She didn't mention it to me..."

"To tell you the truth, she has been staying in the village all these years because their family owes money, and Sisi doesn't want her father to make money alone to pay off her debts, so she has been staying in the village to share the debt; When I help her pay off the money, she won't have any more burdens, and she will be able to go down the mountain soon, doesn't she like to draw..... There are environments and conditions in the city that allow her to pursue her preferences. ”

After listening to my words, Ah Mao suddenly seemed a little decadent, and squatted beside me without saying a word.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Sisi has never told me this, but he can say these heartfelt words to a stranger to you...... I'm not stupid, she doesn't have a liking for me, she just keeps treating me as a brother next door. ”

"Hehe, it's not necessarily, you can try to reveal your heart to her, maybe she will wait for your words....."

......

I smoked five or six cigarettes at the entrance of the village, and Uncle Long finally came back with a bag on his back and a cloth bag in his hand.

"Third master, there are 100,000 yuan in this bag, you count...."Uncle Long opened the zipper of his backpack, and there was a piece of cash in it.

I waved my hand to indicate that I didn't have to count.

Then I asked Ah Mao to lead the way and went door to door to return the money.

Ah Mao stood aside and looked at the large pile of cash in the bag in a daze, his mouth opened slightly, as if he didn't expect that I would take out so much money to pay off the debts of Cha Sisi's family.

When he came back to his senses, his eyes became complicated when he looked at me, he lowered his head and silently walked in front of me and Uncle Long to lead the way.

I originally promised that Cha Sisi would go back to eat at breakfast time, but I was busy helping her pay off her debts, so I didn't bother to go back; We spent two hours going to nine families and paid back a total of 17,000 yuan.

I was a little confused after paying off the debt, I thought that Cha Youping owed at least seventy or eighty thousand yuan, but I didn't expect that I only owed so much. At first, I thought it should be that Cha Sisi and Cha Youping had already paid off part of it in the past two years, but Ah Mao told me that they actually only owed 20,000 yuan at first.

I was a little surprised that in the two years after Grandma Cha Sisi's death, their family had only paid off a total of 3,000 yuan in debt. At this rate, it will take at least 10 years to pay off the remaining arrears.

I can't help but feel sad for this village, because the people in the mountains really don't make much money, so they can only make money by going up the mountains to collect herbs and hunting.

After paying off the debt, I still have more than 80,000 yuan left in my hand, and after thinking about it, I took out some of it and sent it to Zhuo Sang's house, but Zhuo Sang said that he was not willing to accept money.

In desperation, he had to ask Uncle Long to put the money away.

After paying off the debt for Cha Sisi, I sat in front of Zhuo Sang's house and lit a cigarette again.

"Sisi knows if you helped her pay off her debts?" asked Ah Mao.

I shook my head: "I don't know, in order to repay her and Uncle Tea for saving their lives, I mentioned that I wanted to give them money, but Uncle Tea didn't want to live or die.... That's all I can do. ”

Ah Mao nodded, with a sense of loss in his tone: "You solved such a big trouble at home for Sisi and let her be unrestrained, she must be very grateful to you....."

"No, she saved my life, and life is more expensive than money."

Mao didn't answer me, turned around and went back to his house.

Of course, I know why Ah Mao is so lost all of a sudden, he has never seen so much money since he grew up in the mountains. When a strange man takes a huge sum of money and pays off the debt for the woman he loves, he feels a little inferior.

However, I don't have any other thoughts about Cha Sisi, I just want to thank her and Uncle Cha for saving my life.

When she returned to Cha Sisi's house from Zhuo Sang's house, she was a little angry when she saw me.

Cha Sisi crossed his hands on his hips: "What time is it, didn't you say you want to have breakfast?" ”

"I'm sorry for the delay in going out."

Cha Sisi looked at me complainingly, she sighed, took out the porridge from the pot, and said to me, "Leave it for you, eat it quickly." ”

I was surprised, I didn't expect her to leave me food!

Suddenly I understood why Ah Mao was so obsessed with Cha Sisi, not to mention that she was beautiful, she was still a careful and virtuous woman, imagine which man would not fall in love with her?

In the afternoon, the second brother, Master Cao, and Dawu came back from the mountains, and there was nothing serious, but Master Cao had a few more blood marks on his face, which seemed to have been scratched by some thorny plants in the forest.

Master Cao was carrying the cloth bag containing the blood jade before, and it seemed that he had found all the blood jade.

But when I saw the blood jade, I thought of Baisha again.

After I was washed away by the water, the second brother and Dawu went into the forest, and after walking for several days, they were rescued by Zhuo Sang and the village chief. And I was lucky to be rescued by Cha Sisi and Cha Youping, but Bai Sha has never known his whereabouts.

But I wasn't very worried, with Bai Sha's ability, he would never die in the mountains.

Perhaps, he will go back to Shaanxi before us, just wait for us to go back and find the second brother to settle the employment fee....
