When I arrived at the door of his house, I found that the door was closed and locked from the inside. {Free Novels} I knocked on the door, and then I heard painful groans coming from inside, so I hurriedly shouted: "Old man, I am
Yesterday morning you gave me two sentences about Feng Xiao. Do you still remember it?"
There was still no other sound except for moans inside. He must be sick. I thought to myself, and hurriedly checked the condition of this room, and then I found a small door not far away, but it was not in the room.
It was relatively high and I couldn't reach it. I jumped to grab the iron railing above the door, and then did a pull-up... I saw: the room was very small, and the light inside was dim. The old man actually
On the ground beside the bed, he seemed to be struggling.
I was horrified and hurriedly got out of the door. Having no other choice, I kicked the door hard.
The door was very weak, so I kicked it open without much force. He was lying on the cold concrete floor, groaning in pain.[
"What's wrong with you?" I hurriedly knelt down and asked.
All I could see in front of me was his painful expression and his body that was constantly twisting. It must be an acute illness. I judged this, and then I leaned over and carried him to the edge of the bed, then squatted down with my back to him and put him on my back.
Run outside.
Just now, I saw that the place where he lives is small and relatively clean. But there is almost no decent furniture in it. So I am not worried about his house being stolen. Then again, who will go there?
What about stealing from an old man who makes a living from fried dough sticks?
Manpower tricycles can be seen everywhere in the county. Soon, I sent him to the County People's Hospital. The diagnosis came out quickly. His disease was very simple: biliary colic caused by gallstones. However, such an acute disease can cause
Shock can even become more serious.
The only way was to relieve pain first and then operate. The hospital required a payment of 5,000 yuan before the operation. I didn’t say anything, and immediately paid 10,000 yuan to his account and went through the hospitalization procedures for him. However, when he was hospitalized,
When the doctor at the department asked me what the old man's name was, I was stunned and hurriedly ran towards the ward.
The doctor has given him a painkiller injection, and he can speak temporarily. Only then did I know his name. The old man's name was Hu Mozhi, a very elegant name. I secretly wondered: How could an old man with no education be like this?
A name full of bookish flavor?
After paying the money, the hospital quickly arranged for the surgery.
This is how hospitals are now. Without paying, they can only provide the most basic humanitarian treatment. This is true for any hospital. In fact, this cannot be completely blamed for the hospital's indifference, because the hospital also has unspeakable difficulties. Now, the hospital's
The operating costs are so high. If patients are not paid and treated, the hospital will soon close down. In the final analysis, it is still a problem of an imperfect medical security system. In the final analysis, the root of the problem lies with the government.
But then again, with such a large population in our country, it is indeed very difficult to solve the problem of medical treatment for so many poor people under the current policies and measures. Chinese officials are very smart, they should think of solving the problem
The solution to the problem lies in their inaction.
While the old man was undergoing surgery, I went to the street and found a lock repairman. I went to the old man's house and replaced the lock on his small house.
Only then did I have time to call Yu Min.
"You are such a kind person." She said, "I will come to the hospital right away. You will wait for me there. Doesn't the old man you mentioned need someone to take care of him? I can do this."
I was very grateful to her, "Yu Min, aren't you a good person too?"
"I became a good person only after being influenced by you." She said with a smile.
It didn't take long before she actually came.
The old man's operation took nearly two hours. The medical technology level of county-level hospitals is indeed far behind. You can tell from the gauze wrapped around the old man's abdomen that the wound is not small.
Now, the old man is still in a coma after anesthesia. Patients in county-level hospitals are not required to enter the intensive care unit immediately after surgery, perhaps for economic reasons or because of the shortage of medical equipment. However, the medical expenses here are indeed
It is much cheaper than the provincial capital. In our hospital, a surgery like this cannot be purchased for less than 20,000 yuan. When I was at the admission office just now, I was asked to pay only 5,000 yuan in advance. This is the difference. Therefore, I feel more and more that in the medical service
There should be a lot of room for the government to regulate fees. Again: the key is whether the government wants to take action.
There are nurses in the hospital, so I don't think we need to stay here. Originally, I wanted to ask the old man about that matter today, but now it seems that it is not possible for the time being.
"Let's go. Let's go for a walk on the streets." I said to Yu Min. After coming back this time, I haven't fully understood the entire county. Although I am already familiar with my hometown, I have seen a lot of things before.
Everything here is not thought from the perspective of future development.[
"I'll watch him here." Yu Min said.
I smiled and said, "What's your role here now? He hasn't woken up yet. And there are nurses in the hospital."
Then she followed me out of the hospital.
This is a place suitable for life. The air is fresh and the river is clear. Some are tolerant and some are comfortable. There is also a little calmness and a little secularity. But how to explain secularity? Pass through the road in front of the hospital and in the old department store
Find an old-fashioned wooden chair at the door and sit down, order a bowl of jelly and spicy tofu for a few dollars, drink some wine, and look at passers-by. Is this kind of lifestyle secular? I think so, but it is secular.
So what? So what if it’s ordinary?
I found that I really like such a quiet life in my heart, and I can't help but feel a little worried: Will this situation still exist after the renovation of the old city is completed? I know that with the acceleration of urbanization, many of our traditional things have disappeared.
It disappeared. Warm and peaceful scenes like this have long since disappeared in big cities. People live in high-rise buildings, and even if they are door to door, they will never interact with each other.
"I like it here." Yu Min said while eating jelly.
"Why?" I asked her with a smile.
"I feel there is no pressure living in a place like this. People live leisurely and are not intoxicated by material things," she replied.
I shook my head: "It's the same. It's the same everywhere. Although people here live a very leisurely life, this situation may change soon, because it can't last forever like this. It can't last forever.
Lock yourself up in this mountain. In fact, whether it’s leisure or busy, this is a way of life and a mentality for everyone. Even in a place like my hometown, there are still people who can’t take time off.
"
Afterwards, we walked around every street in the county. I found that my hometown does have beautiful soil, but what it lacks now is decoration. From this, I felt that what I was doing was more meaningful.
Maybe two or three years later, I won't recognize it when I come back here again.
People's subconscious mind is very strange. When we stopped, we realized that we were standing at the gate of the hospital.
The old man has woken up.
The old man held my hand, and the first thing he said to me was: "If it weren't for you today, I would definitely not have this life."
I can't help feeling. Yes, I really feel. First, I feel the magic of fate. Just imagine, if I didn't want to ask him to clear up my doubts today, how could I go to where he lives? Then look forward.
Look, if my father hadn’t taken me to his place to eat fried dough sticks yesterday morning, how would I know he was a wise man? Furthermore, if I hadn’t gone to the Taoist temple yesterday and drawn lots, what would have happened today wouldn’t have happened. Could it be that
Is everything really God's will? Secondly, he is an old man, and a lonely old man. I can know this from where he lives today. He lives alone behind the bus station.
In such a secluded place, if I hadn't gone to him by chance today, his life would probably have passed away. From this, I thought about other lonely old people living at the bottom, and maybe this happens to them from time to time.
A tragic situation. Therefore, I think our country has not done enough in this regard. The elderly's life and life support system need to be improved urgently.
At this moment, the concept of "senior security system" was deeply imprinted in my mind.
However, under the current circumstances, it was still impossible for me to ask him about that matter. I smiled and said to him: "You have a good rest, recuperate, and don't think about anything. I'm sorry that I broke your door lock today."
Yes. I have changed the locks in your house for you. I have the keys here and I put them in the bedside table. You can put them away when you are able to move."
"It's impossible for this hospital to perform surgery on me without giving me money. Is it you who advanced the money for me?" he asked.
"Don't worry. The 10,000 yuan I paid you in advance is in your account. It's okay. Your health comes first." I said to him softly.
"How can I afford it? Only in a few years can I collect the money to pay it back to you." He said, looking very embarrassed.
I smiled and said: "It's okay. Don't think about it. I said, what you need now is to rest in peace and recover. We will talk about other things later."
"What brought you to see me today?" he asked me suddenly.[
"You should rest first. I will ask you again tomorrow." I said.
He shook his head and said: "I'm so old, I don't know if there will be tomorrow. Tell me quickly, I know you must have something urgent in mind, otherwise why would you come to my house to find me, a bad old man? Your father must have asked
Are you here? What's the question that your father can't answer for you? I'm curious. How can I rest if you don't ask me now?"
He was smiling at me, with a naughty expression like a child. (.om pure text)
My heart suddenly moved, and I thought this was good. Maybe asking him that question now would help him no longer have such a heavy psychological burden.
This old man makes a living by selling fried dough sticks and soy milk. I don’t know if he has any other means of making a living. But one thing I know is that his life is very difficult. He just said that I paid this for him.
It will take several years for him to repay me the ten thousand yuan. In other words, the amount of money he can save in a year is very small. If converted into monthly, the amount of money he can save every month must be
Less than five hundred yuan.
This is a very simple economic account and does not require careful calculation.
So, I thought to myself, after he answered my questions, I would have a reason not to give up the money. Isn't this a good thing for both parties? Moreover, I am very confident that he can answer my questions.
, because just now, I once again felt his wisdom.
So I smiled and said to him, "Okay. I really want to ask you a question today." Then I told him in detail about my visit to the Taoist temple in Guishan to draw lots.
Yu Min looked very surprised. I think she definitely didn't expect that I would find such an old man to solve this problem for me.
The old man glanced at Yu Min, suddenly showed a surprised look, and then said to me: "Xiao Feng, you and your father are two types of people. Hey! In fact, when I was young, I wasn't like this? You put the ward in the ward
After closing the door, I will tell you about my own life when I was young."
I was very surprised, because what I needed was for him to answer that question for me, but he suddenly said that he wanted to tell us about what happened when he was young. Could it be that he was still in a state of confusion after the operation?
But I was also very curious about his life experience, so I obediently closed the door of the ward. When I turned around, I found that Yu Min had brought over two stools. She put the two stools on
In front of the old man's bed.
I immediately went to sit down. Yu Min also sat next to me.
The old man began to tell about his past...
The old man was born in a wealthy family, and he was eighteen years old when New China was founded.
The liberation here was later than the founding of New China, but it encountered an extremely turbulent period when the remnants of the Kuomintang poured into the mountains in large numbers and mixed with bandits.
When the old man was eighteen years old, bandits robbed his home. Because of resistance, the whole family, including the servants at home, were all killed by the bandits. After robbing all the valuables, the bandits set a fire and destroyed the huge house.
The yard was burned to the ground.
The old man was spared because he was enjoying himself in the brothel that night.
The old man didn't like studying since he was a child, but he had a special liking for gambling, women, etc., and he was very good at playing. Because he was the only son in the family, his parents did not discipline him very much and allowed him to spend all day long.
He was fooling around outside, but he didn't expect that he escaped death because of it.
Although the young Hu Mozhi was unruly, he was a very bloody person. After suffering a catastrophe at home, the first thing he thought of was revenge. Hu Mozhi immediately sold his family's fields and a manor in the countryside to use
The money was used to recruit some local gangsters, and at the same time buy some weapons from the Kuomintang stragglers, and then go up the mountain to seek revenge on those bandits.
The result is predictable. Because the people he recruited had no combat experience at all, and were greedy for life and afraid of death, most of his troops were immediately wiped out by the bandits, and the rest ran away.
Fortunately, he was still fine, but he became a complete pauper from then on. So he began his days of wandering and begging.
When he was twenty years old, he wandered to a place and was immediately taken in by the new government. The government arranged for him to work as a cook in a state-owned hotel, specializing in making soy milk and fried dough sticks. At the age of twenty-eight, he received help from enthusiastic people.
He found a woman and got married. However, the woman died of a sudden illness in the second year after their marriage. A few years later, someone found another woman for him, but she accidentally fell into the water shortly after the marriage.
Then some people began to say that he was a wife-killer. He himself began to doubt his own fate. He thought: Why is it that everyone in his big family died but he lived alone? Why did he continue to live alone?
Marry two women and both die inexplicably?
From then on, his heart died and he never thought about women again. From then on, he stayed with a yellow dog.
However, when he was forty years old, good things happened for him, and the dead wood began to bloom. A beggar woman from Henan fell from hunger in front of his house. He rescued her, and soon the woman became
His third wife. After the two got married, the woman one day heard rumors about Hu Mo’s murder of his wife. After she came home, she said to her man: "I am not afraid. Anyway, you saved my life."
Hu Mozhi was very moved and thought that although this woman was a bit ugly, she had good courage. Maybe her courage could scare away the God of Death. It was strange to say that this woman had lived with Hu Mozhi for five years but nothing happened.
No, her dark skin began to turn white, and her whole body became plump and beautiful. People around her were amazed.
But Hu Mozhi began to worry because this woman failed to give birth to a child for him. After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor told him that there was nothing wrong with both of them. Hu Mozhi thought that he must not have studied hard enough, so he went to bed early every night from then on.
After falling asleep, he started the activity of creating humans every day. Not to mention, all these efforts really worked. A year later, his wife actually gave birth to a chubby son for him.
Hu Mozhi felt that that period was the happiest day in his life. However, what he never expected was that a tragic thing would suddenly happen to his home one day. That day, when he came home from get off work, he was far away. Hearing the old yellow dog at home barking fiercely, he hurriedly ran towards the house and was shocked by what he saw. His son was thrown to the ground to death, while his woman was lying on the bed covered in blood. When he went to test the woman's breath, he found that she was already dead.
The case was soon solved. It was the case committed by Wang Fugui, the man next door who had just been released from prison. He tried to rape Hu Mozhi's woman but was met with fierce resistance, so he killed Hu Mozhi's woman out of humiliation.
and children.
The criminal was shot to death soon after, but the sky above Hu Mo's head completely collapsed. One day, he quietly left that place and started his wandering life again.
One day, he met an old man at the foot of Wudang Mountain. The old man fell to the ground and was groaning in pain. He hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but when he was about to leave, he was stopped by the old man.
"Come with me to practice Taoism." The old man said to him.
He shook his head.
"Then let me give you a message." The old man continued, "Your life is like a lone star, which will overwhelm your father, your mother, your wife, and your children. Only by entering my Taoist or Buddhist school can you have a good death."
He was very shocked, and then said: "You are right, I am already alone. It would be better if I died early. Why live for so long?"
The old man said: "Everyone is useful in this world, but you don't know your usefulness yet. Live well, and maybe one day you will see your relatives."
He said: "All my relatives are dead, and no one is alive."
"No, you have a sister who is still alive." The old man shook his head.
After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared quietly. Hu Mozhi woke up immediately and realized that he had had a very strange dream. However, he did not believe that the things in this dream were true, so he continued his wandering life.
Hu Mozhi had been to most cities across the country and made a living by picking up garbage. One day many years later, he suddenly remembered the dream he had had at the foot of Wudang Mountain. His homesickness suddenly surged, so he went there the next day.
He bought a train ticket and returned to Jiangnan, then took a long-distance bus back to his hometown. He was sixty-five years old that year.
"After returning to my hometown, I rented a house with the money I earned from collecting garbage for many years, and then used the skills I learned when I was young to run this small food stall." Finally, the old man Hu Mozhi said to us.
His story made me sigh, and Yu Min started to cry. I had already forgotten the question I wanted to ask, because the experience he told completely attracted me.
I asked him: "Have you found your sister?"
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It was just a dream. But that dream gave me hope of life. In those years, I wandered in major cities across the country and saw people from all walks of life. To be honest, although I didn't have much education,
But the experience I have had in this life is not something that everyone can have. Now that I am old, sometimes when I see you young people, I can’t help but want to give you a few pointers. Haha! What is there a saying? What is the saying between people?
His words are kind when he is about to die, but it seems that I won’t live long in this world.”
I hurriedly said: "Don't say that. Aren't you fine now?"
But he took a look at Yu Min and then said to her: "Girl, can you go out for a while? I want to have a few words with Xiao Feng alone."
Yu Min suddenly became unhappy. She was coming to see me.
I guessed that the old man wanted to say something private to me, so I said to Yu Min: "You go out first."
The old man said: "Forget it. I think your relationship is not normal anymore. You young people..."
I couldn't help but feel ashamed, and my face suddenly felt hot. But I was secretly wondering: How did he know that Yu Min was not my wife? How did he know that my relationship with her was not an ordinary one?
The old man seemed to see what I was thinking, and he continued to smile and said: "Although you two are easy-going, you are not close, and you don't have the tacit understanding between husband and wife. Haha! Xiao Feng, girl, don't blame me for talking too much. Let's do that.
, let me answer the question about the lottery for you first. Those Taoist priests on Guishan are all fake. They used to make a living by telling people's fortunes near the hospital. Later, I don't know what connections were used to get through to the officials in charge of religion in the county.
I went there and became a Taoist priest. Drawing lots is actually a kind of accident. The lot you draw is related to the strength of your draw and the direction of the lot. The lot is dead, but when you shake out a lot,
It comes alive when the lottery comes, because that lottery is connected with you. Therefore, from this perspective, drawing lots still has some predictive function. But the interpretation of the lottery is very important. For example, your lottery,
The Taoist priest's interpretation is indeed correct. Maybe that lot indicates your destiny. But what he told you about fortune telling is completely a lie."
"Why do you say that? But what he said is very accurate?" I asked.
"I asked her to go out just now," the old man pointed at Yu Min, "Actually, I wanted to ask you something. Because I thought she was a girl, I felt a little inconvenient to ask. Xiao Feng, let me ask you, where is your vagina?
Do you also have a mole?"
I was immediately shocked. What he said about my vagina was actually my vagina. Indeed, there was a mole there.
Yu Min was also surprised because she had seen my place before.
After being shocked, I asked: "How did you know?"
The old man smiled and said: "It's very simple. I can see it from your face. Our faces are very strange. Traditional Chinese medicine can tell from a person's face that he may have a certain disease, but a fortune teller can tell from a person's face."
It’s not surprising to see the distribution of moles on his body on his face. Because we humans are sophisticated machines. There are eight palaces on the human face. Everywhere you can see the part of the body that it corresponds to.
situation. For example, if there is a small black mole in the middle of your lip, that place and your ** belong to the Du Vein. If there is a mole on that part of your face, then your **
There are probably some there. Also, acupuncture on certain acupoints on our ears and soles of our feet can also treat diseases of certain organs in our body. The principle is the same. By the way, do you have hemorrhoids?"
I was completely stunned and impressed by his words, so I hurriedly replied: "Yes. There seems to be only one. But it's not a big problem."
The old man smiled and said: "Then use your tongue to push the place where your upper lip and upper gums connect. You can clearly feel that there will be a small ball-like thing on it."
I hurriedly did as he said, and sure enough it was true.
"It's very simple. Because your area corresponds to the area where you have hemorrhoids below. They both belong to the Du meridian in traditional Chinese medicine. If you have two hemorrhoids below, there will definitely be two small ones on the inside of your lips.
Something like a ball," he said with a smile.
Yu Min was also exploring with her tongue.
The old man suddenly laughed and said, "Girl, you probably won't have it. Nine out of ten boys have hemorrhoids, and very few girls get hemorrhoids."
Yu Min's face suddenly turned red and she whispered: "It's really not true."
I understood immediately, "You mean, our human body is actually completely consistent with the principles of systems theory. We can see the condition of our whole body from our faces?"
The old man shook his head and said: "I don't understand the principles of system theory. I only know a little bit about traditional Chinese medicine. One year I met a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Beijing. He went to Beijing to petition. Alas! That was also a miserable life.
Man, he was ruined by a local gangster. The local government didn't care about his affairs at all. He was sent back to his hometown several times after arriving in Beijing, but he escaped secretly on the way every time. He didn't dare
Go home, because he may not even be alive when he goes back. I met him in the tunnel outside the Beijing Railway Station, because like me, he can only sleep in that place. What I just told you
These things were all taught to me by him.”
I felt depressed and uncomfortable because of what he just said. Although I had heard about petitioning, I never imagined that some places could be so dark.
I am actually a very traditional person. I want my country to be prosperous and strong from the bottom of my heart, and I also support the current regime, because I have read the "Party Constitution" carefully and found that the things in the "Party Constitution" are really good. Unfortunately,
When I see the rapid development of the country, I always see a lot of dark things, which makes it difficult for me to accept it deep in my heart. Sometimes I wonder: Should such things happen in a country led by the Communist Party?
Is that so? Then I thought that maybe the officials below were too bastards. I thought this was the only explanation. So, when I saw the appearance of the bureau chiefs from my hometown when I was in the provincial capital that day, I said nothing to them.
I was deeply disgusted, and from this I felt even more that my idea was right, and I was even more worried about my hometown: With people like that serving as officials, how can the people live?
But after returning home this time, I found that it didn't seem to be the situation I was worried about. Most people in my hometown live and work in peace and contentment. Although the county town is very dilapidated, people's lives seem leisurely and quiet. And now, when I hear the old man say that
After what happened to the Chinese medicine doctor, I suddenly felt depressed and panicked.
At this time, Yu Min asked: "You said before, the drawing of lots is very accurate, right? Can our fate really be predicted?"
The old man smiled and said: "There are some things that you either have to believe completely or don't believe at all. Otherwise, your life will be very confusing. There are many unknowns in a person's life. If you can really predict your own
From now on, our lives will have no meaning."
I felt that although the old man's words were very reasonable, they did not answer Yu Min's question. In fact, Yu Min's question was also what I wanted to ask. So I also asked: "So, do you believe it?"
What I didn't expect was that he shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."
I asked in surprise: "Why? Don't you find it strange that your life is so unsatisfactory?"
I was very surprised, because I always thought that people who had bad luck would believe in fate. Otherwise, how could those things be explained? Why are others so successful but I am lonely all my life? Why are other people's families happy but my own marriage is unfavorable? Why do some people have career prospects?
Are you prosperous but depressed all your life? Wait, wait, there must be an explanation for these problems, right? According to traditional saying, many people attribute the final explanation to fate at work.
In fact, I also have such superstitious thoughts in my heart, but this kind of thought does not appear all the time.
He shook his head and said: "What's weird? I've just encountered all kinds of bad things. In fact, whether you believe it or not, a person's life only lasts for a few decades. Once you close your eyes, your legs will
Who cares about your life after kicking, okay? I think I have lived a wonderful life. Look, I fought bandits and married three wives. When I was young, I hung out and slept in brothels every day.
There are also many women. Later, I traveled all over the country by picking up garbage, which was equivalent to free travel. How wonderful. Even if I die now, I feel it is worth it. Oh, I can’t die yet, I have to pay your money back before I can die.
Otherwise, I will die in an uneasy way."
I hurriedly said: "You have already paid me back. The story you just told me and the answer you gave me to that question are worth far more than this little money."
He immediately laughed, "So I can die right away?"
Only then did I realize that there was something wrong with what I said, but I also realized that no matter what I said, nothing was quite right: Should I ask him to pay back the money? Isn’t this right?
Yu Min smiled and said: "You just had the operation, live a good life. Forget about the money, he is not short of this money anyway."
I also hurriedly said: "Yes. That's right. I think it's like this. From now on, when my father comes to have breakfast at your place, you just don't charge me for it. Until he finishes eating the money."
"That will take more than ten years. Haha! Thank you. If I can live for more than ten years, I will be really satisfied." The old man laughed and then frowned. I guess his laughter affected the wound.
, after all, the effect of the anesthetic was slowing down. So he hurriedly said to him: "Don't laugh too hard. I'm sorry, we disturbed you. You can have a good rest."
"You go and do your own work. Don't worry about me. I've already troubled you a lot. In fact, it's my blessing to meet you." The old man said, and then closed his eyes.
I glanced at Yu Min, gave her a look, and then we left the ward.
At noon, Yu Min and I had a meal together, and then sat in a tea house by the river to drink tea and chat.
"I used to feel that I was miserable, but now I realize that I am very lucky." Yu Min suddenly said.
I knew what she was referring to, because she was indeed much luckier compared to the old man's fate. I said: "The old man is right, a person's life only lasts for a few decades, and everyone has his or her own splendor.
So, I think we shouldn’t care too much. That’s good.”
He smiled bitterly and said: "It's easy to say it, but it's hard to actually do it. Sometimes I think, forget it, just forget it for the rest of my life, as long as I'm not hungry. But when I see other people living like this
When I feel comfortable, I start to feel unbalanced. Alas! Now I understand why some people want to become a monk. I guess those people just want to be out of sight and out of mind."
I immediately laughed, "Why do you think that way? Monks have seen everything in this world and are escaping from it. Out of sight, out of mind, but your heart is still restless. What does this do?"
She also laughed immediately.
As I was talking, I suddenly heard the phone ringing. I took it out and looked at it and found that it was an unfamiliar number. I have had very few calls in the past few days. Sometimes I actually hope in my heart that a call will come in, so I answered it immediately.
This phone call. Only I know what’s going on in my heart: In fact, I can’t stand loneliness at all.
"Hello, who are you?" I asked.
"Feng Xiao, you are going too far. I am Luo Hua. You didn't save my number." An angry voice came from the phone.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I answered the call without looking at the caller ID." I said hurriedly.
"Let's have dinner together tonight. Are you free? I have made appointments with all my classmates," she said.
"Here... let me treat you." I said. To be honest, I really didn't want to attend such a party, because I haven't contacted my classmates in my hometown for many years and have become unfamiliar and unfamiliar.
Strangeness and unfamiliarity can only make people feel embarrassed. But I can't refuse because I don't want my classmates to criticize me behind my back.
"You don't need to treat me. You are a guest." She said, "It's agreed. My husband is going to treat you today."
"Who is your husband?" I asked, and the tall man with a dark body suddenly appeared in my mind.
"You know him. He had dinner with you when we were in the provincial capital." She said, "Feng Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so powerful now. You are actually the son-in-law of the richest man in our Jiangnan, and you are in close contact with the province.
We all know each other. From now on, will you help us old classmates more?"
I was very surprised, "Who is your husband? We had more than one person eating together that day."
"You will know when you come tonight. Haha! My husband heard that you are back and wants to treat you to a meal." She said with a smile.
I don’t know why, but I immediately thought of a person in my mind, the Director of Radio, Film and Television. So, I felt that I had to ask clearly, "I won’t come if you don’t tell me. I have other things to do."
.”
"Okay, let me tell you. My husband's name is Peng Zhonghua, and he is now the director of radio and television in our county. Do you remember?" she said.
I was stunned because I didn’t expect things to happen by such a coincidence. After thinking about it, I realized that it wasn’t too much of a coincidence. My hometown is such a big county, and there are quite a few classmates working here. One of my former classmates happened to be there.
It is also very possible that the wife of the Director of Radio, Film and Television. It happened that Yu Min and I happened to see the incident between Luo Hua and that man. I don’t know why, but I didn’t feel that I saw the incident between Luo Hua and the Radio and Television director.
The director was gloating about his misfortune, and I immediately felt that such a person was even more sad.
However, I don’t want to go to the party tonight because I really don’t want to see the face of the Director of Radio, Film and Television. But now... I hesitated and said, "Well, I'll give it to you later.
You call me back and see if I can take it off."
"No. You have to take off your clothes. All the classmates want to see you," she said.
"Try your best," I said, and then hung up the phone decisively.
"You are very popular." Yu Min said to me with a smile.
I shook my head and said, "I really don't want to attend such a party, but I can't say no."
"Can you tell me? Who is he?" she asked.
"It's the **student we saw yesterday. Her man is the director of radio and television here. I met that man when I was in the provincial capital. At first, he thought I was just a little doctor, so he was very arrogant. There were a few others.
The director is like that too. I'm very tired of people like that. The director of Radio, Film and Television is treating me tonight, what do you want me to do? He is completely kidnapping me, using my classmates to kidnap me." I said in annoyance.
She immediately laughed and said, "I think your husband who is a college student is probably a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking?"
I looked at her in shock, "What do you mean?"
"I'm sorry, your phone volume was too loud. I heard everything you said on the phone just now. It's obvious that the Director of Radio, Film and Television really wants to get to know you, because your identity is not that of a doctor," she said.
I suddenly realized, thinking that bystanders really know better. However, it suddenly occurred to me that Yu Min’s statement may not be correct. I suddenly realized one thing: Luo Hua’s husband must be working on the old city renovation. Because for a county-level
As far as the director is concerned, his level is too low and he cannot hope to be promoted through my relationship. After all, such things are beyond our reach, and may even be as meaningless as hitting mosquitoes with a cannon. The only explanation is that this director
Comrade probably hopes to get a share of the old city reconstruction project. Also, Luo Hua has made appointments with so many classmates today. What if they all come to me for help in this matter in the future?
Will we help or not when the time comes?
I suddenly felt a headache and decided not to attend such a party today.
But, what kind of reason should I give?
"Can you give me an idea on how to avoid what happened tonight?" I asked Yu Min.
"Are you familiar with the leader here? If so, just say that he was invited by the leader today and you don't have time," she said.
I was overjoyed, "This is a good idea." But then I felt it was inappropriate, "But what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? What if she says to change the time?"
She shook her head, "The only way is for you to leave here as soon as possible."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I've only been back for two days. It's impossible to go back so soon. I finally took half a month's leave. It's a rare opportunity."
"Then there's nothing you can do. You just have to go and participate. Then don't agree to anything, drink as much as you can, and then pretend to be drunk." She said with a smile.
I smiled bitterly again, "That's all I have to do."
Luo Hua called again half an hour later, "How are you? Is it okay?"
"Okay. Where?" I asked.
She immediately told me that it was actually the place where Magistrate Long invited me to dinner last night. She immediately understood: that place should be the best restaurant in our hometown.
"Yu Min, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you today." So I smiled bitterly and said to her beside me.
"It's okay. I thought about it just now. I might as well go back tomorrow. Me being here will make it inconvenient for you. After all, I am not your wife and I am shameful." She said with a sad expression.
I felt very guilty, but I didn’t know how to tell her. What she said was true. I really couldn’t take her to the class reunion because she was not my wife after all. This relationship between me and her is
It's shady, especially in a small place like my hometown.
From this I thought: Luo Hua specifically reminded me on the phone that her husband was treating me tonight, and her meaning should be very clear: I hope I won't tell others what I saw her and that man together yesterday.
Although she didn't know that Yu Min and I had seen the scene between her and the man in the cave, she felt uneasy in her heart.
I had no choice but to say: "That's fine. Yu Min, I can't help it. After all, this is my hometown. I hope you can understand."
She immediately laughed and said, "It's nothing. I've already gotten used to it. It seems like this is fate."
Just as I was talking, my phone rang again, and when I saw it, it was actually Lin Yi calling.
"Feng Xiao, are you in your hometown now, right?" he asked me.
"Yeah." I said.
"Maybe you have to come back right away. Take the child with you," he added.
"What happened?" I asked, secretly wondering.
"I heard from the nanny that she saw Xiaonan crying today," he said.
I was overjoyed and shocked at the same time, "Really? Did the nanny see it with her own eyes?"
"I asked her again and again, and she was very sure. So I immediately sent Xiaonan to the hospital. But she is still the same as before, and the doctor said there is no sign of waking up at all. I think, the nanny
It's impossible to lie because there's no need for her to make such a joke," he said.
I suddenly felt sad, "Then how do you think you explain this?"
"I think Xiaonan still feels the surrounding environment. For example, if you leave and the child leaves, she will feel it. Otherwise, how could such a situation happen?" He said, "You are a doctor, you should be better than me.
Do you understand the reason better?"
I was silent for a moment. I thought what he said should be correct. Otherwise, how could we explain Chen Yuan's tears?
"I'll be right back. Bring the kids back." I said.
"Don't be anxious, don't drive too fast. Safety comes first," he said.
"Yeah. I know." I said.
"What happened?" Yu Min asked me.
"Chen Yuan, she...the nanny said she was in tears. I guess she may have had a brief awakening. No, I have to go back right now. Yu Min, you go back to the hotel right away to pack your things, I'll go home
Go talk to my parents." I stood up immediately.
