Chapter 7: Do You Want to Live?
This voice immediately attracted my attention.
At first, I thought I had misheard.
Until the voice rang out again, "Anyone?" Can you give me a bowl of water to drink? ”
Make sure you heard me right.
The second thing that Zhang Daoren told me came to my mind.
I didn't expect it to come true so soon.
I put down the book in my hand, ran to the door, pulled the door open, and sure enough, I saw a ragged man standing in the doorway, giving people the impression of being unkempt.
But when he looked closely, he found that his eyes had been killed by flesh.
Not a single crack remained.
On closer inspection, it feels a little scary.
"Little brother, is there water at home? My mouth is dry, give me a bowl to drink. ”
He said with a smile on his lips.
But laughing is worse than crying.
"I'm sorry, I don't have water to drink at home, you keep going east, and you have water to drink."
I didn't think much about it, so I followed Zhang Daoren's answer.
The blind man listened to me and muttered, "Okay, thank you, little brother." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked away on crutches.
I was curious, I hadn't spoken yet, how did he know that I was a little brother?
After thinking about it, I looked at the door again, and the blind man was gone.
It's a fast walk!
I went back into the yard, this time without closing the yard door.
I couldn't help but feel some waves in my heart.
The second thing that Zhang Daoren explained to me was that it didn't come true so quickly.
Will this blind man really come back and save my life?
I couldn't help but mutter.
And the blind man did not come back to me until the evening.
I looked out of the yard several times.
My dad still asked me what I was looking at?
"Dad, I didn't see anything, did you meet a blind man on the way back from work today?"
I asked.
My dad looked at me suspiciously, "What blind?" I didn't see it. ”
See I didn't answer.
He was probably worried about me and asked me if something was wrong.
I said no.
I don't want him to worry, plus what Zhang Daoren explained, I have to keep my mouth shut.
After dinner, I said, "Dad, I have to go out to work." ”
After hearing this, my dad said uneasily: "Xiao Que, now that your marriage has not been clarified, I am afraid that it is not appropriate for you to go out to work rashly." ”
I explained to him that I was working in the county town where I was at home, and that I would be closer to Miss Qin at that time, and maybe I would be able to renew my marriage.
As long as my marriage with Miss Qin is not completely broken, nothing will happen for a while.
When he heard what he said, he felt that there was some truth in it.
Maybe he still didn't worry about me, so he offered to go with me, but I made an excuse and politely declined.
After eating, I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
My dad may be a little tired because he has been busy all day today, so he said hello to me and went to sleep first, so that I can greet him at any time if I have anything.
I said yes and sat down in the courtyard to cool off.
A cool breeze blew, and several times I went to the gate of the courtyard to see if the blind man had returned.
But those who waited left and right, but still did not see any trace of the blind man.
I'm still a little anxious and worried.
If the blind man doesn't come back, then I'm not doomed?
At this time, a cool breeze blew in from outside, and I felt that my hands and feet were a little colder.
It was ten o'clock in the evening, and a feeling of uneasiness was growing.
I was about to turn around and enter the house when I suddenly saw several fires floating in the distance, these fires were blue and somewhat eerie.
They started moving very slowly, and after I stared at them for a few seconds, they suddenly moved faster, and in an instant they were at the door of my yard.
I was shocked.
It quickly reacted that what was floating was a ghost fire.
My heart swooped to my throat, and I turned around to take refuge in the house.
Probably because I was in a hurry, I stumbled and suddenly fell to the ground.
I thought to myself, what the hell are you afraid of?
At this time, a pair of legs are not yet angry.
My mind was spinning fast, trying to figure out how to survive.
Seeing that a few ghost fires were about to fall on me, suddenly, there was a knock on the door with a bang.
"Anyone?"
After this voice sounded, it was also evil to say.
The menacing ghost fires that had been coming towards me suddenly retreated from my yard as if they were frightened.
I was terrified, the sounds outside had disappeared.
When I got to the door, I saw the blind man.
The blind man leaned on crutches and said to me, "Little brother, thank you for showing me the way during the day and letting me drink to my heart's content." ”
I was embarrassed and said, "No thanks, this is what I should do." ”
The blind man laughed twice, didn't say much, and walked forward, but after a few steps, he suddenly stopped again, "Boy, do you want to live?" ”
If I was blind, my scalp couldn't help but tingle in an instant, and it still felt like I was numb from my hair to my heels.
I didn't answer for a while.
I was stunned for a few seconds, and when I came back to my senses, I immediately replied: "I want to live, I want to live!" ”
I was a little agitated.
"Pack up tonight and get out of here."
The blind man dropped these words, leaned on crutches, and walked forward.
I turned around and went back inside without saying anything to my dad, who was sleeping soundly.
Thinking that tomorrow when I get to the county seat, settle down, and talk to my dad again, it's not too late.
I didn't have much luggage, so I packed up and called for a car in the village.
If it weren't for the amount of money given so late, no one would really want to go to the county seat.
That night, I found a hotel for a few dozen yuan to stay.
The conditions are a little poor, but I don't have much money myself, so I'm not picky.
I survived the night, and I didn't sleep much.
Early the next morning, I asked someone to inquire about Miss Qin's residence.
Miss Qin's family is very rich, and she is basically the richest man in our county, so as soon as I inquired, I came out, and Miss Qin's father's name was Qin Hongtu.
Miss Qin's real name is Qin Guanlan.
She is Qin Hongtu's only daughter, and everyone in the county knows that Qin Hongtu dotes on his daughter very much.
Basically, no matter what her daughter asks, Qin Hongtu will meet it.
The place where the Qin family lives is also relatively easy to find.
It belongs to the wealthy area, and according to the letter left by Zhang Daoren, I must live within three kilometers of Miss Qin's residence.
And I have been working outside all these years, but I haven't made any money, and I only have 10,000 yuan on me.
It's enough to rent a house, but if you want to live in this county, it's still not enough.
So I have to find a job to support myself first.
It took half a day to find a house with a yard two or three kilometers away from where the Qin family lives, and negotiate the price, which is about 300 yuan a month.
Cleaned up the room and settled down.
I just wanted to tell my family that I was safe.
I just took out my phone, but I found several missed calls.
Among them is Miss Qin's.
