On the way back, Liu Dazhu and Yingzi found Shen Mei and Xiaoya hiding in the mountains.
"Dazhu, this time, this time I really want to thank you. If it weren't for you and Miss Yingzi, Xiaoya and I would have been in trouble, wuwuwu..."
When she saw Liu Dazhu, Shen Mei started to cry, her shoulders shaking. For the first time, she felt so helpless in this world.
"Sister-in-law Mei Zi, stop talking like that, let's go back..." Liu Dazhu held her hand and comforted her. Seeing this poor woman in such pain, Liu Dazhu wanted to shed tears, but it was only a desperate effort to hold back the tears. Come down.
"Xiaoya, let's go, uncle will hug you..."
Liu Dazhu bent down and picked up Xiaoya, and the four of them headed down the mountain together.
When he returned to the village, he took a quick look and found that there were people gathered outside Shen Mei's house. Liu Dazhu thought that something was wrong again, so he quickly walked over. Shen Mei who was following behind was also very anxious, thinking that something was wrong. Those people on the mountain have found their homes again.
It was already dark by this time, and when I walked to the side, I saw clearly that the people surrounding the house were all people from the village.
"Well, what are you doing here?" Liu Dazhu also recognized a few people and knew that they were all from Beijiao Village and miners working hard in the mountains.
"Benefactor, benefactor, thank you, thank you for helping us..."
When he turned around and saw clearly that it was Liu Dazhu, these people knelt down together. Liu Dazhu was so frightened that he almost fell down and hurriedly supported Yingzi who was standing next to him.
"This, this, this, what's going on..." Liu Dazhu said in shock.
"Benefactor, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get the money. If it weren't for you, we would be squeezed by those people on the mountain for the rest of our lives. We sincerely thank you..."
Dozens of people were kneeling on the ground. They were all people from Beijiao Village who worked hard in the mountains. After they returned to the village with the money, everyone discussed it and decided to come and thank Liu Dazhu in person. The people in the mountains were more honest and they couldn't afford it. When giving something good to a benefactor, they can only kneel on the ground and kowtow. Only in this way can they express their sincere gratitude.
"Quick, quick, quick, get up, get up quickly, you must not do this, we are all mountain people, of course we will help if we can, we must not kneel down, get up quickly..."
Liu Dazhu hurriedly went to help the people. Looking at these simple mountain people, his eyes were a little moist. What a good folks. Give them a little favor and they will treat you like a relative. Such a good person, How can people not be moved? Liu Dazhu is determined to help them embark on the road to true prosperity.
After everyone got up, Liu Dazhu invited people into the courtyard. The room was too small and there was definitely no way to get in. Besides, Shen Mei lived alone in the house, so it was not convenient for so many grown men to come. We had to go inside the house, so we could only arrange for everyone to stand and talk in the yard.
After entering the yard, Shen Mei took Xiaoya into the house to prepare dinner, and Yingzi also went in to help.
"Fellow folks, what are your plans in the future? Are you still going to work in the mountains?" At this time, Liu Dazhu stood in the yard and said to these people.
"No, no, no, we won't go. We will never go again. Even if we starve to death, we will never work in a place where we drink human blood. Look at our hard work. Three hundred yuan We still can’t get it in a month. If it hadn’t been for you today, I don’t know how many years and months it would have taken for us to get the money. Now that we have the money, we will never go to work in the mountains again..."
"Yeah, I won't even starve to death..."
Each of these villagers was filled with righteous indignation, accusing those guys on the mountain of being toothless and vicious.
Liu Dazhu listened quietly. Although each of these villagers said that they would starve to death and would no longer work in the mountains, he could not watch them really starve to death.
This mountainous area has been messed up by the mines, and most of the land has long been abandoned. It may not be realistic to rely on these mountain people to replant the land for food. It seems that we have to rely on ourselves to help them. Not only do we have to
They have enough to eat and drink, and they want to embark on the road to wealth.
"Don't worry, everyone. I have taken care of things here. Not only will I change the polluted and dilapidated situation here, but I will also stop everyone from suffering. Don't worry, everyone can wait for a while and I will give you an explanation...
…”
Although no one asked him to do anything, Liu Dazhu took the initiative and gave everyone a promise.
"Benefactor, you don't have to say anything. From now on, we will all listen to you and do whatever you say..." These people nodded happily and decided to follow Liu Dazhu to make a living.
Although the mountain people are simple, they also know good and bad, and who are really good to them. From Liu Dazhu helping them find clean water to helping them beg for wages in the mountains, these mountain people have become
They have already decided that Liu Dazhu is a good person. A person like him who helps them selflessly without asking for anything must be the biggest good person.
"From now on, don't call me your benefactor. My name is Liu Dazhu. Everyone is my brother. Just call me by my name. You can't be so private..."
As Liu Dazhu spoke, he took his cigarettes and distributed them to all the people. Those people were very happy to accept Liu Dazhu's cigarettes. Whether they were smokers or non-smokers, they all took the cigarettes from the big shots.
I felt it, I held it in my hand very carefully, put it under my nose and smelled it again and again, but it just didn't light up and I couldn't bear to part with it.
"Let's do it. It's already very late today. Let's all go back and rest. If we have any plans for another day and need everyone to work together, I'll let you know..." Liu Dazhu took a cigarette in his mouth, lit it and took a puff, and then asked everyone
gone back.
"Okay, okay, we all listen to brother Dazhu. We are going back. Tomorrow everyone will not go to the mountains to work. They will all rest at home and have a good sleep..."
These people nodded, feeling more relaxed than ever before, and walked out of the yard. They had completely made up their minds that they would not work as coolies in the mountains again, and they would be unpaid coolies.
After everyone left, Liu Dazhu turned around and walked toward the house.
At this time, Shen Mei and Yingzi had already prepared the meals. When they saw Dazhu walking into the room, the cute little girl immediately ran over and took Liu Dazhu's hand.
"Uncle, uncle, my mother and Aunt Yingzi made delicious dishes. There is meat. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Let's go and eat together..."
Xiaoya looked up at him, her big eyes blinking, and she almost drooled when she spoke. From the look on her face, she really hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
"Okay, okay, let's go eat..." Liu Dazhu took Xiaoya and walked directly to the dining table.
"No, you have to wash your hands before eating meat..."
At this time, the little girl suddenly grabbed Liu Dazhu. Even when she was so greedy, she still insisted on her principle and asked Liu Dazhu to wash his hands before eating.
"Yes, yes, brother Dazhu, look at you, you are worse than a little girl..." Yingzi also gave him a bad look. Ever since she went out to do things with Liu Dazhu, Yingzi has become worse than before. How dare you bully her man.
Liu Dazhu scratched his head and followed Xiaoya to wash his hands with some embarrassment. Shen Mei was putting the dishes on the table. Seeing her daughter and Liu Dazhu looking so affectionate, she couldn't help but smile beautifully in her heart.
"Dazhu, do you want to drink?" After setting the meal, Shen Mei suddenly said mysteriously.
"Drink, do you have any wine at home?"
The last time Liu Dazhu drank wine with Brother Heishan, he bought it from a nearby store. He really didn't know if Shen Mei had any wine at home.
"Wait a moment..."
Shen Mei smiled and ran towards her bedroom mysteriously.
"Uncle, guess what kind of wine my mother will give you to drink?" Seeing her mother enter the house, Xiaoya lay next to Liu Dazhu's ear and asked mysteriously.
"I don't know, Xiaoya, tell your uncle..."
"Ner Hong, my mother had it when she got married. It's been many years and it's very mellow..." Xiaoya said like an adult.
"No way, Xiaoya, how did you know when your mother got married?" Liu Dazhu deliberately looked at her in shock.
"Of course I know, I've known it since I was in my mother's womb, cluck, cluck, cluck..." Xiaoya laughed happily.
At this time, Liu Dazhu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth. "Eat it. Is this a reward for you? Does it taste good?"
"Yeah, yeah, it's delicious, the meat is so fragrant..." Xiaoya bit into the braised pork, and the oil flowed out of her little mouth.
After waiting for a while, Shen Mei took out a small wine jar. The jar was sealed with red cloth. It was indeed the unique packaging of Nuerhong.
This Shen Mei has been married for so many years. I don’t know why, but her daughter’s red wine as a wedding gift is still here without drinking it. Doesn’t her husband drink? This doesn’t make sense. Generally, girls are buried in red wine when they are born. Underground, I took it out to drink when my daughter got married. Unexpectedly, she kept the jar of wine until this time.
Shen Mei's face was red and she walked out holding the wine. "Open it. Let's just drink this wine today. We have been for many years..."
Shen Mei seemed to have something on her mind and hesitated to speak. Liu Dazhu couldn't ask about other people's private matters, so he took the wine, opened the red cloth, and gently patted the seal of the wine jar with his palm, and a mellow aroma came out. The smell of alcohol immediately hit my nostrils and was very intoxicating.
Just when Liu Dazhu and others were drinking daughter's red wine and eating braised pork at Shen Mei's house.
On the back mountain at night, two figures appeared, sneaking up the mountain along the water pipe.
"Made, if you dare to snatch a woman from me, you won't kill him. As long as everyone drinks this water tomorrow and it's poisoned, I don't see how Liu Dazhu can pretend to compete. I'll let him walk around without food..."
A black shadow said viciously while climbing the mountain. (To be continued)
