Seventy-three huddle to conceal
Alan's mother stayed at home to take care of Alan, and Alan's father sent Wen Rou and Grandpa Wen back to Lingshui.
After arriving at Lingshui, she put the collected medicinal herbs back to Grandpa Wen's house, and Wen Rou took Abbe to get a haircut, take a bath, and buy clothes.
The messy long hair was washed and cut into short hair for teenagers, and even the barber marveled at the beauty of the teenager.
"Okay, let's go buy clothes, then take a shower, and then go to get a household registration."
Abbe looked at himself in the mirror and nodded happily.
As a county-level city and a distribution center for medicinal materials, Lingshui still has some commercial atmosphere.
There are many clothing stores on the street, with traditional clothing stores of local ethnic groups, and more modern clothing.
Wen Rou chose two sets of clothes for Abbe, one with long sleeves and one with short sleeves.
Two pairs of shoes, socks, underwear......
I don't buy too many clothes for the time being, but I can have a few more sets when I get home, and now I can change and wash them.
People in the village say that Abbe is fifteen years old, but Abbe is only about one meter five, which is a lot shorter than Wen Rou.
Nowadays, teenagers in urban areas develop early, and most of them have grown into tall at the age of fifteen.
Abbe is in the mountains, and the food he eats is mostly natural, with little hormones, and it should be normal to grow late.
"Let's not wear new clothes first, wait a while to take a shower, after washing you put on new clothes, the old clothes can be thrown away." Wen Rou told Abbe.
After buying clothes, Wen Rou found a luggage store, bought a sports backpack for Abbe's back, and bought two suitcases, one for two people's clothes and one for medicinal herbs.
Wen Rou suddenly felt like she was learning from the West, with more and more luggage, she used to have only one backpack for herself, but now there is one more person who has to pull two suitcases.
There is a bathing center on the street, where many herb owners come and go, and many medicinal herb owners consume in it.
Wen Rou thought about it, changed to a smaller family, and at first glance it was a bathhouse dedicated to bathing, and asked Abbe for a single room and asked him to wash it himself.
Abbe came out of the shower, changed into new clothes, sports trousers, clean white T-shirt, handsome and beautiful teenager jumped in front of him, and the front desk of the bathhouse praised the child for his good looks.
"Okay, this time you can go to get a household registration and take a handsome ID photo."
Abbe grinned, as bright as the sun.
Wen Rou said: "Throw away all the old clothes and bags." ”
Abbe threw away his old bag and clothes, but he still had one in his hand.
Wen Rou saw that it was a local Tujia men's blouse, embroidered with very delicate lace, so she asked, "Grandma made it?" ”
Abbe nodded.
Wen Rou said: "Put it in your backpack." ”
Abbe put away his clothes, carried his bag, and looked at Wen Rou seriously.
Wen Rou smiled: "Let's go, go and open an account." ”
In the Lingshui Administrative Service Hall, Wen Rou put the certificate of Jiulong Village on the table.
The staff who handled the household registration was not surprised: "Another parent who does not register his child, what do you parents think?" ”
Wen Rou: "His parents worked in a big city, he followed his grandmother, and now his grandmother is dead." His father refused to take him to the big city, and he didn't want to raise him anymore, I wanted to apply for a household registration book for him alone and take him to my house, my father didn't have a son, so he just raised him as a son. ”
The staff looked at Wen Rou and confirmed that Wen Rou's family would definitely be able to afford this child, after all, the girl could eat so fat, and there should be no shortage of children at home to eat.
"This doesn't work, minors can't apply for a household registration book alone. His household registration must fall into his household registration book, ask his father to come and register him, and then handle the household registration transfer, and move the household registration to your house. ”
"His father will not come back to register for him, and on the day of his grandmother's burial, his father went back to the city, and he didn't even leave him living expenses. I asked his dad to come back and take him away, and his dad told him to let him farm in the countryside and pick wild fruits to eat. ”
The staff couldn't help but scold: "What kind of father is this, it's too unusual!" But we don't have the authority to open a separate account for him, he's a minor. ”
Wen Rou knew that it was useless to embarrass the staff, so she took Abbe to leave first and then find a way.
The household registration must be handled by Abbe, otherwise he will not be able to get in the car when he goes out.
Grandpa Wen was treating patients at home, and Grandma Wen was dealing with hook hemp.
These medicines are thanks to Grandpa Wen and Grandma for processing.
Wen Rou told Grandpa Wen what the household registration staff said, and Grandpa Wen pondered: "I know a few people who are in charge of household registration, but they also have to act according to the rules, and people really can't handle it at will." You guys stay first, and I'll think of a way, it will take a few days for these herbs to be processed. ”
Wen Rou had no choice but to thank Grandpa Wen and take Abbe to tidy up the room first.
In the evening, Grandpa Wen called the household registration staff he knew, and the reply was the same, Abei's parents had to register him first, and then move out, and minors could not apply for household registration books alone.
Grandpa Wen called Abbey's father again, and Abbey's father naturally went to Grandpa Wen to see a doctor, but his father said that he really didn't have time to come back now, and it had taken a few days to do the funeral for Grandma Abbey, and he couldn't ask for leave anymore.
It's really not good, Wen Rou is ready to take Abbe in a car taxi, anyway, she has already promised to take Abbe, so she can't leave him alone.
The next day, Jiulong suddenly came, and many villagers came to Grandpa Wen's house.
Grandpa Wen didn't understand for a while, he had been in Jiulong for several days, and he left yesterday, so these villagers thought about themselves like this?
"Grandpa Wen, save the people in our village, save our family!" The old man at the head pleaded.
Grandpa Wen said: "Of course I will try my best to save everyone, have you encountered any big problems?" ”
The villagers began to talk nonsense.
Wen Rou listened to it for a while, and finally understood, it turned out that more than half of the people in this village had parasitic Qi Xian in their bodies, and Grandma Abbe was not the first person to grow mushrooms and die.
Before they went to Jiulong, several people died because of mushrooms growing all over their bodies.
But the witch in the village said that this disease should not be known to outsiders, otherwise the whole village will grow mushrooms, this is the punishment of the true god for them, if they do not tell outsiders, only one out of ten people in the village will grow mushrooms and die, and the others will be fine.
So they didn't dare to tell Grandpa Wen.
The villagers were waiting for the unlucky tenth of the mushrooms to die and they would be safe.
However, since then, the number of people who have the first symptoms of mushroom growth has increased, and it has exceeded 1 in 10, and it is still increasing.
This kind of thing where the whole village huddles together to conceal the truth naturally does not include Abbe.
Abbe is a fool, and no one treats him as a normal person.
So when Grandma Abbey died, Abbey found Grandpa Wen for the first time, and the matter of growing mushrooms was finally known by people outside the village.
