Chapter 10 Border Xiling Village

The sudden change made Alan Chen a little overwhelmed.

I didn't expect the handheld to send a chain task.,After completing the pre-task, there was a second task.,According to the content,It's still related to the childlike father!

"How much is going on in this family?" Alan Chen couldn't figure it out.

Tong Xin also roughly described his family, simply in a small remote village living a hard and barren life, his mother was sick in bed, his father went out to work, Tong Xin was young, and always wanted to do something to share the family's worries.

Such families are everywhere in Xiling Village, why do their tasks always have something to do with his family?

If you think about it, I'm afraid you can only find the answer if you go and see it for yourself.

"Mawei, the front of the car turned in a different direction, we won't go back to the eastern suburbs." Alan Chen patted the roof of the car and reminded the driver to change lanes.

"How many times have you said it, it's Ma Wei, Ma Wei who gets off Ma Wei!" Ma Wei leaned on the steering wheel and turned around, "Where are you going if you don't go back to the eastern suburbs?" ”

"Xiling Village, go to this child's hometown." Alan Chen touched the child's little head, and the latter held the small medicine bottle with his eyes shining.

Mom will get better now! The childlike heart is full of hope.

"You're really using me as a driver, and I'll charge for it." Ma Wei said that he still slowly hit the steering wheel and turned onto another road.

The tricycle body was full of goods they had snatched from the recycling station in the western suburbs, and Chen Alun scanned them separately with his handheld computer, and he could earn at least tens of thousands of yuan on this trip.

In addition to making a fortune, Alan Chen also has a little confusion, how can a small recycling station in the western suburbs, with no large-scale industries nearby, become bigger and stronger?

He recalled that Yuan Feng yelled at him with confidence, saying that there seemed to be a backer behind the recycling station in the western suburbs? This backer may have a lot of background.

But Alan Chen didn't care about this, he thought that he would not visit the western suburbs again in the future, so what did he do with this?

He has only one idea at the moment, pay back the money as soon as possible, otherwise he will be sent back to the old earth!

After a busy night's work, the members of the Righteous Society fell asleep one after another, and Alan Chen also lay on his back in the car body, looking at the sky with his hands crossed behind his head. The childlike heart rested on his chest, breathing evenly and sleeping sweetly.

The night sky was sprinkled with twinkling stars, except for the light of the moon, this familiar and unfamiliar scene reminded Chen Alan Chen all the time that this was not the world he once lived in, he was on an alien planet.

I don't know how long it took, Ma Wei slowly stepped on the brakes, and without alarming the people in the body, he gently knocked on the back seat.

"Xiling Village has arrived."

Alan Chen gently woke up the childlike innocence, and the two jumped out of the car and looked at the silent village in the distance.

When the childlike saw his hometown, he couldn't help but have hot eyes.

Chen Aaron said to Ma Wei: "Take your brothers back to the eastern suburbs first, sell the things, and leave me 10,000 yuan." ”

Ma Wei was quite helpless: "Why am I, a debt collector, living like your servant?" ”

Chen Aaron smiled and said, "Don't forget, we basically have the same demands, so you still have to listen to my command." ”

Ma Wei rolled his eyes, drove the brothers and drove away.

Xiling Village is close to the border of the country of Navia, and from the road to the west, the endless yellow sand is paved until the sun sets in the west.

The star of the core galaxy is a reddish-gold sun wheel larger than the Sun, which turns dark purple when it falls, and the westernmost sand dunes turn into purple peaks, silently guarding the thin nation of Navia.

Chen Aaron and Tong Xin descended the slope, stepped on solid ground, and approached the village.

Although it was not yet six o'clock, the village was gradually waking up, and smoke was waking from the scattered grass huts.

The houses were made of wood and stone, and the dense houses stood in rows like flattened matchboxes, with several dilapidated walls running through them, and at first glance it was impossible to see which one and the house were guarding the other.

In particular, the wall facing the highway is three meters high, and the wind and sand that crosses the highway try to invade the houses, and finally unwillingly pile up at the base of the wall.

Walking down the ridge, upland rice and quinoa were planted in the loose soil on both sides, and the smell of agricultural fertilizers wafted out from time to time, so smoked that Chen Alan covered his nose.

He's used to the sour smell of the garbage dump, but the smell here is slightly better.

"Which one is your house?" Chen Aaron covered his mouth and nose, and his voice sounded muffled.

"Come on, right behind there." The nostalgia is strong, and the childlike trotting between the houses.

Chen Aaron slowly followed, the road in the village is not easy to walk, there is hardly a smooth dirt road, there are fist-sized gravel everywhere, and people who are not familiar with the road are easy to be hit by the stones.

On the other hand, the childlike heart walks like flying, like a cheerful fish wandering in the harbor of his hometown.

Chen Aaron saw a family carry out a straw mat, and in the bumps of walking, a miserable white foot was exposed under the straw mat.

The family looked sad, spread the straw mat on the edge of the farmland, bowed twice in the direction of the house, and then lifted the straw mat over the ridge and onto the road.

They turned to the other side of the road, and Chen Alan couldn't see the specific situation, but fifteen minutes later, they came back empty-handed, but the straw mat was gone.

"Thrown into the desert?" Alan Chen thought to himself, this may be the sadness of the poor family, and there was not even a decent funeral.

There are several pieces of farmland in Xiling Village, which are several times larger than the factory area inherited by Alan Chen, but they only have one tractor.

The only remaining tractor was half-sunk on the edge of the ridge, covered with dead grass, and one of the rear wheels was missing, probably broken for several years.

"Brother Lun! My dad wasn't there. "Childlike trotted back and reported.

Tong Xin took Chen Aaron around and walked into a tile-covered hut.

The interior is dark, and the kitchen and bedroom are open to the door, with a long chandelier hanging in the middle of the room, and a childlike mother lying on the bed facing the door.

"Mom," Tong Xin introduced Chen Aaron, "he is Brother Lun, and he has retrieved your medicine." ”

The childlike mother's face looked young, but her body was very thin, her mouth was open, and her voice was insignificant.

Alan Chen sat on the edge of the bed, trying to close his ears, and heard only a few muffled syllables.

"I ...... Lost ...... Money ......"

Chen Aaron thought that Childlike Mother was worried about the charge, so he replied: "Childlike has already helped me, and I will help you find medicine for free." ”

The childlike mother shook her head slightly, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Alan Chen couldn't figure it out, and the medicine was recovered, but the childlike mother didn't seem to be happy about it, and he couldn't understand why.

"I'll feed you medicine." Childlike was busy in the kitchen, found a slightly clean stone bowl, poured three pills from the medicine bottle, and handed them to her mother's mouth.

The childlike mother shook her head and turned her face to the side, and the childlike mother insisted on bringing the medicine to her mouth, and after a few seconds of stalemate, the childlike mother finally took the medicine into her mouth.

"Come, drink water." The childlike heart picked up the stone bowl.

Before he could bring the stone bowl over, the childlike mother tilted her head, simply swallowed the medicine, and then turned sideways, facing away from Chen Aaron and the childlike heart.

The childlike mother's behavior is very strange, but after all, it is someone else's family matter, and Chen Aaron is not good to ask, he looks at the objects and decorations at home.

"Childlike innocence, do you often die?" Alan Chen asked casually.

He walked to the stove, the stove was cold, and in the iron basket next to it was the baked mud cake, which was made from this dry food, and the people of Xiling Village used it as their staple food.

Although it doesn't have much nutrition, at least it can be fed.

In fact, many people in the border countries of Navia live like this.

He found an empty pill bottle on the stove, the label had been removed, and there was no information on the bottle.

Tong Xin put down the stone bowl: "Some people will starve to death if they can't eat, but more of them are uniformed masters who come and call away many people, and only a few come back in the end, and those who come back generally don't live for a week." ”

A man in uniform? It's almost close to the guess in Alan Chen's heart.

Despite the lack of information in Navia, Alan Chen had heard some things from his co-workers.

Wars often break out across the planet, and major powers are constantly at odds, even in a small and weak country like Navia.

The government often recruits young adults into remote villages in the suburbs to serve in the battlefield, and countless villages eventually become "lonely villages".

However, there are very few young and middle-aged people in Xiling Village, and only the disabled remain in the village, which is very consistent with this phenomenon.

Whenever they talk about this, those workers always like to add fuel to the fire, saying that the war will take a long time, so the villagers in the suburbs desperately move to the inner city to avoid being conscripted for their children.

"Childlike, your family's conditions seem to be pretty good?" Chen Aaron stood at the door, the childlike house is a rare tile roof, and the other homes are mostly thatched and wooden.

"My mother was pregnant with her little brother not long ago, and the official gave me a sum of money." Childlike squeezes the water out of the towel and wipes her mother's forehead.

Although the house is small, it is very clean, even the couch of the childlike mother is also in order, and the daily necessities are placed in the nearest place.

There is no trace of conflict between husband and wife.

Chen Alan walked outside, and behind the house was a sink and vegetable garden, and the irrigation water came from a large water storage tank shared in the village, which was diverted to each house by iron pipes, and the domestic and agricultural water were mixed together.

"What is this?"

Alan Chen squatted down and saw a white bottle cap in the soil next to the sink.

When I got closer, I realized that it was not the cap, but the whole bottle buried in the soil.

Chen Aaron pulled out the bottle, and there was still half a bottle of pills inside.

"Medicine again?" There are many elements of medicine in the childlike home.

He pulled out his handheld to scan it, and soon showed a disappointed look again.

"Fluesterine, a medical anesthetic, can cause paralysis of part of the trunk and loss of normal function if taken by mistake."

How do you bury anesthetic in the soil? Alan Chen was puzzled.

He walked around the backyard for a while, but found no similar items, there was always something strange in this family, and Alan Chen couldn't say why.

Bang dang!

There was a strange noise in the room, and Chen Alan hurriedly approached the back wall of the room and looked into the room through a gap.

"Daddy!" The childlike voice came.

A figureless man stood in the room, his hair and beard skempt and his eyes bloodshot, his oil-stained hands clutching a white medicine bottle, angry at the child's heart.

"Who told you to get it back? Who let you get it back! The man roared in a frenzied rage.

The childlike cried aggrievedly: "I just want to cure my mother, she is very uncomfortable......"

The man grabbed Child's arm and pulled Child's body up hard: "You little bastard! You're going to kill us?! ”

Tong Xin screamed in pain, and the villagers passing by were attracted by the shouting, but soon turned their heads away as if they were used to it, and left in a deaf ear.

The childlike mother was lying on the bed, unable to see her eyes from Aaron Chen's point of view, and she was silent like a sculpture when she saw her child being beaten.

The man who behaves so distorted and violent is not the first day to think about it, but in the childlike story, he will actually be considerate of his father who works too hard and is too stressful to do anything out of line.

Chen Aaron couldn't stand it, and left the back wall to enter the house to stop the man, but he just made a move and knocked down the hoe in the corner.

Hearing the movement in the backyard, the man, like a frightened rabbit, abandoned his childlike innocence and ran out of the house, climbing over two walls in succession, and running out without looking back.

"Don't run!" Chen Aaron hurriedly chased after him.
