After clearing some space on the truck bed, Ding Hao carried the girl onto the truck bed and arranged the plastic sheet covering her body, which finally blocked a lot of rain. He then helped the old woman sit in the truck bed.
In Ru'an Village, there were many houses along the road. Ding Hao parked the tractor on the side of the road. He chose a house that could be illuminated by the headlights, kicked open the wooden door with his feet, turned over and took the female doll into the house, and then
The old woman helped her out of the car.
Fortunately, the owner did not remove the firewood from the kitchen when he moved. There was not even a place to sit in the empty house. Ding Hao dug out a few tree roots and pillars from the pile of firewood, and then dug out another one.
The wooden board on the tabletop is placed on the tree root pillar to become a simple bench.
Ding Hao took out a bag from his coat pocket, which contained matches and cigarettes. Using plastic bags to waterproof is a skill that all smokers in the project base know. There were straws and chopped branches in the firewood pile, and it took no effort to put them in.
The fire is lit.
After wringing the water from his clothes, Ding Hao lit a cigarette and glanced at the two people sitting on the simple bench who had not spoken to each other.
"Auntie, you can just stay here for the night and leave at dawn! After I leave, you can use a thicker piece of wood to block the door. Remember to add firewood to the fire so that the baby's clothes can be dried.
Even if you wear it wet, you will suffer.”
The old woman who had never spoken a word this time nodded slightly.
Ding Hao squatted down, picked up a few more logs and threw them into the fire. He took a puff of cigarette and threw the cigarette butts in his hand into the fire.
"Auntie, I have to go, there are other things to do."
The old woman took off her raincoat and handed it to Ding Hao.
"Mom, please keep it in case it rains again tomorrow. It's okay for the young man to get wet in the rain. I'm leaving."
When Ding Hao turned around and was about to leave, the old woman grabbed his arm. Ding Hao's body trembled. His hands were too cold, like ice cubes. How long had he been exposed to the rain? He might get sick.
Ding Hao was thinking wildly when he saw the old woman take out a wet fifty-cent piece of paper from her pocket.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Ding Hao firmly refused to take it. Suddenly, a small hand grabbed the corner of Ding Hao's clothes. It seemed that he would not let go if he didn't want it.
After resisting for a while, the old woman would definitely not let him go if he refused. Ding Hao sighed helplessly and allowed the old woman to put the fifty cents into his pocket.
When they arrived at the construction site, it was already past eight-thirty. When Cheng Hongyi saw Ding Hao who was looking like a drowned rat, he cursed a few times and asked him to go to the work shed to rest. The next morning, he met Liu Xiaoming, the driver of the second team.
Let’s go back to the project base together.
There were four movable wooden beds set up in the work shed. When Ding Hao arrived, there were already three people from other teams inside. After saying hello, he began to feel sleepy while lying on the bed. Before falling asleep, he vaguely heard the words from the second team
Liu Xiaoming told the other two people that on the way here, they encountered an old man and a young man who blocked the car and ignored them.
According to the masters of other teams later, Ding Hao started to have a fever and talk nonsense in the middle of the night. Everyone thought he was caught in the rain and caught a cold, so they took some cold medicine and took two extra quilts to cover him.
As the departure time approached in the morning, Ding Hao, who was suffering from a high fever, couldn't wake up, so he had no choice but to drive back alone in the second team's car.
When Ding Hao woke up, the construction site was in chaos. Master Cheng Hongyi said that Xiao Liu of the second team had an accident. Not long after the car passed Ru'an Village, a large-scale landslide occurred, and even people and cars were buried. Life and death
Unexpectedly, the rescue team has already arrived.
After Cheng Hongyi finished speaking, he glared at Ding Hao and said that the brat had a good life. He developed the fever in such a timely manner. Otherwise, going to several cars today would have been the same result.
Ding Hao scratched his head and didn't know what to say. He naturally thought of the two people he met last night. If he hadn't given her the raincoat, he probably wouldn't have caught the cold. The smile that had just appeared on the corner of his mouth suddenly solidified. Ding Hao's face changed.
Suddenly, I remembered that after a fire was lit in the house in Ru'an Village, there was only his shadow on the wall.
Cheng Hongyi saw that Ding Hao looked bad and asked what was going on. Ding Hao told everything that happened on the road the day before in detail. In order to prove the authenticity of what he said, he took out the fifty cent note the old woman gave him from his pocket.
.
"this?"
Where is the fifty cents that Ding Hao is holding in his hand? It is obviously a piece of paper money burned to a dead person!
Cheng Hongyi didn't speak for a while, then suddenly sighed, patted Ding Hao on the shoulder and said:
"Good causes will have good consequences!"
Later, it was said that the rescue team sent Liu Xiaoming to the hospital and his life was saved, but his body was affected and he lost his fertility. A later time when delivering materials, he had to pass by Ru'an Village. Ding Hao bought incense candles and paper money.
In the empty room, neatly folded raincoats were placed on the simple bench made by Ding Hao.
The next year, on the way back from drinking at his father-in-law's house, Liu Mingde had an accident while riding a motorcycle with his wife, and the two left this world. Ding Hao could not accept the departure of his junior brother who had worked together for several years. He was absent-minded in doing things all day long and had a small car accident.
After being injured, he left the highway bureau. When he left, he picked up his only one-year-old daughter from Liu Mingde's mother.
Later, Ding Hao was assigned to work in a medicinal material company. Due to his excellent driving skills, he was assigned to the medicinal material purchasing department and traveled frequently.
Ding Hao likes to collect some old objects. When he often buys medicinal materials in the countryside, he will buy old objects out of his own pocket when he encounters them. After more than ten years, "antiques" and "antiques" suddenly appeared all over the country.
When he came up with this concept, Ding Hao already had a room full of old objects in his home.
After making his first pot of gold, Ding Hao resigned from the medicinal materials company and opened his own antique store. Relying on the reasonable prices he always gave people and his reputation over the years, the business got better and better. Now there are two antique shops in the city.
The biggest facade in the room is his.
"So, Teacher Ding is the baby girl your junior brother left behind?"
After listening to the story told by Uncle Ding, I finally understood why the information on Uncle Ding’s face conflicted so much with the information on the cow’s face.
"To this day, when I drive alone at night and pass by remote places, I always open the window and maybe pick up a few invisible passers-by!"
After Uncle Ding said this, he saw me frowning and asked me what was wrong?
"This is a relatively taboo thing. I'm worried about bringing back things that shouldn't be brought back."
Uncle Ding laughed and replied that every time he was approaching home, he would park the car on the nearby road and wait for a while, or go around the nearby road a few times.
I thought of the layout of Dai Niu's yard. Cars should enter the backyard through the door at the back of the house. If nothing else, there should be two door gods at the door of the backyard. This layout has mostly been instructed by experts.
