In fact, speaking of it, the main reason why my mother is unwilling to return to her parents' home is because of my aunt. Of course, after all, that is a grudge between the previous generation and has nothing to do with me.
After dinner, my uncle let me spend the night in the side room. He personally laid out a quilt for me and told me, "Go to bed when it gets late. There is nothing fun in the mountains. I will take you out for a walk when the sun comes up."
One turn."
But I couldn't sleep, so I took the initiative to invite him to sit down and made some home-cooked meals. The uncle rolled upland tobacco leaves and sighed while saying that the harvest in the field was not good this year. He had planted so many crops and basically lost everything. Xiaoya (
My cousin, who is just a sophomore this year, is not sensible either. She keeps asking for money all day long and refuses to come back even after the holidays. I wonder if she has learned bad things in a big city?
Only then did I remember that my uncle didn’t see my cousin during his birthday celebration today, so he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, maybe she’s studying more.”
The wrinkles on the uncle's face became deeper. He sighed and said that studying was too important. She just thought her family was poor and was used to the colorful world outside. She didn't want to go back to live in this poor valley.
I didn’t know how to reply, so I just laughed and was silent for a while. My uncle started to talk again, saying that the mountains have not been peaceful recently. Several children in the next village were snatched away by wolves, and some people said that they were possessed by mountain spirits in the mountains.
, I picked up a stone and thought it was a golden bump. I made trouble for a few days and ended up going crazy...
People in the mountains are superstitious, but I didn't take it seriously. Seeing that it was getting late, I asked him to go back to the house and rest first.
After nightfall, the air in the mountains turned cooler, and there had just been a heavy rain, so I felt a little cold. After seeing my uncle off, I passed the time by meditating.
Around midnight, I stopped meditating and felt sleepy. I was about to go to sleep. However, at this time, I heard a "bang bang" sound coming from the pig pen at my uncle's house. The sound was quite loud.
Anyone who has experienced rural life should know that the pigs raised by farmers usually look honest and honest, but once they get into trouble, they can be quite destructive. So I put on my clothes and used a flashlight to go to the pig pen to see.
The pigsty was dark and there was no electric light. I took a flashlight and swept it around. All the pigs in the pen were lying down and nothing was out of the ordinary. I was feeling confused when I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw that there was a piece and a half in the corner of the pigsty.
The meter-long stone was loose, as if it had been knocked off by some wild animal.
I was startled and thought to myself that some wild animal from the mountains had entered the village. Just as I was about to take a closer look, I heard footsteps coming from behind me. When I turned around, I saw my uncle also coming to check the situation with a flashlight, so I quickly walked up and said
, "There is a loose stone under the fence, as if it was knocked off by something."
The uncle was very nervous about his pigs. He hurriedly ran into the pen to see that they were not missing. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked me to help move the stone back.
When I was moving the rocks, I found wild boar footprints nearby. I was curious, so I asked my uncle what was going on. My uncle was cursing and said that it must be a wild boar in the mountains in heat, and he would set up a trap tomorrow.
good.
I felt funny, didn't think much about it, and went back to the room to sleep.
I went to bed too late last night. I slept until dawn. Before I got up, I heard the noise outside. I felt a little irritated, so I put on my clothes and opened the door and went out. I happened to see my uncle also going out.
, and hurried up to ask about the situation, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
My uncle said to me, "Something happened in the village. This boy Zhang Hao went hunting in the mountains last night. He seemed to have fallen down from the back mountain and was not discovered until dawn. Dear fellow villagers, I have to go over and take a look."
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Zhang Hao is the same Haozi who drove me back to the village on his motorcycle yesterday. He was fine yesterday afternoon, but something happened in the blink of an eye.
I quickly told my uncle that I wanted to go and have a look, but he didn't refuse and hurriedly led me over several fields. After a while, I arrived at a wooden shed house at the end of the village, which is Haozi's home.
The wooden house was very dilapidated. It was a two-bedroom house with a kitchen in the back. Half of it had collapsed. I saw a middle-aged woman, Haozi's mother, sitting on the threshold in front of the main room, crying very sadly.
There were many villagers crowded into the house, all of them looking sad.
After squeezing into the crowd, I saw Haozi. Compared with yesterday's laughter and laughter, this kid looked extremely miserable now. His forehead was covered with a white towel, he was bleeding a lot, and his breathing was very uneven.
I was startled and tried to call Haozi's name for a long time, but he didn't respond. I hurried back and walked towards the middle-aged woman sitting in the main room, asking Aunt Zhang, what happened to Haozi?
Aunt Zhang cried. Just yesterday afternoon, after Haozi came home, he told himself that he would go into the mountains to collect cages (usually when rural people hunt, they set up animal traps in the mountains in advance, make traps, and wait a few days before going into the mountains.
She went to see him), but she didn't come back all night. Aunt Zhang was worried about her son's condition, so she went to the back mountain to look for him early in the morning, but she found Zhang Hao in a small mountain col. He had fallen unconscious.
After a while, the villagers called for the doctor and gave Zhang Hao some treatment. Aunt Zhang cried and asked the doctor how her son was doing.
However, the doctor said that it was okay. He had checked Haozi's body just now. Except for a cut on his forehead, there were no external injuries or any signs of internal injuries. He was probably just tired. Just give him some time to calm down.
After sending the doctor away, I felt strange. If Haozi's injury was not serious and there was no reason for him to be carried home and still unconscious for so long, I took the initiative to discuss with Aunt Zhang whether to transfer him to the hospital in the town?
Aunt Zhang was a womanizer and didn't have any ideas, so she asked me, saying that it would be very expensive to be hospitalized in the town, right?
I quickly said, "Money is not important, the key is people. Let's do this. I can pay for her hospitalization expenses first." Aunt Zhang agreed with tears in her eyes, and then went to the village to find two villagers for help.
People have arrived in town.
Matian Town is small and has only one health clinic. When I arranged for Haozi to be admitted to the ward, I turned around and saw Wang Jie coming out of a doctor's duty room and met me.
Our eyes met, and we were both surprised and asked at the same time, "Why are you here?"
After asking around, I learned the reason. It turned out that Wang Jie had a cousin who was also hospitalized here and had been sleeping for half a month. He was discussing with the doctor whether to transfer his cousin to a hospital in the city.
Take a look at the hospital.
What's more coincidental is that his cousin's situation is similar to Haozi's. While hunting in the mountains, he fell down the hillside for no reason. After he was carried home, there were no obvious injuries on his body, but he remained unconscious and could not wake up.
Come.
After hearing this, I was stunned. I felt that this was a bit strange, so I said to Wang Jie, "Don't rush to transfer to the hospital yet. Can you let me go to your cousin's ward to take a look?"
Wang Jie was stunned, turned back and stared at me and said, "What's wrong?"
I shook my head and said it was nothing, I just felt that something was a little strange. After that, I told Wang Jie about Haozi's situation. After hearing this, Wang Jie frowned and said, "Is there such a coincidence?"
