Chapter 80 Back then [Second Update]
Sheng's mother recognized him as Xiao Mao, a helper from the orchard, and her face turned pale with fright, "What?! Why did he drop his leg?!"
Sheng Chuan also stood up from the chair.
Xiao Mao said, "The road is slippery in Tianhei. Uncle Jiang He accidentally fell into a ditch when he was going down the mountain. His leg was broken and he can't walk now. I'm the only one on duty at night on the mountain. I can't carry him."
Mother Sheng scolded "old stuff" in a low voice, quickly untied her apron and threw it on the table, and followed Xiao Mao to the mountain. Sheng Chuan took a flashlight from the house and followed after seeing it. After walking the mountain road for half an hour in the dark night, I saw Sheng Jianghe sitting on the big rock.
He probably couldn't walk anymore, his body was scratched and tattered, covered with grass leaves, he couldn't move one leg, his knee was bloody and bloody, obviously he couldn't fall clearly, Mother Sheng wanted to hit him twice, "You old bastard!" , why don’t you run up the mountain when it’s dark, it’s better now, why didn’t you break your leg!”
Sheng's father seemed to want to defend himself when he heard the words, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he found that Sheng Chuan had followed him, and his words were stuck in his throat. What are you making such a fuss about!"
After finishing speaking, I didn't know where the strength came from, and I stood up from the stone, but fell down again before I could stand still, Sheng's mother stamped her feet anxiously, "Don't move, old man, go to the clinic quickly. It's terrible to have a broken leg!"
Sheng's father was about to speak when he heard the words, but he saw Sheng Chuan suddenly squatting down in front of him. Although his back was not quite wide, he still had a sense of reliability, and he frowned without any emotion and said, "Come on, I'll carry you to the clinic. "
Father Sheng didn't expect him to do this, so he was stunned on the spot. Xiao Mao urged, "Uncle Jiang He, why don't you move? Hurry up. The clinic will be closed for a while, so what can we do?"
Sheng's mother also said, "Hurry up, the injury can't be delayed."
Hearing this, Sheng's father lay on Sheng Chuan's back. His limbs were stiff, and he didn't know how to let go. His rough hands were covered with calluses and were still stained with plaster. He only dared to fall on his shoulders. He held his breath and didn't dare to spit it out, as if this would reduce the weight.
Sheng Jianghe was tall and strong when he was young, so he is naturally heavy now, but when this stubborn person who has been stubborn all his life lays on his knees, Sheng Chuan can still clearly feel that he is getting old, his body has gradually hunched, and he avoids being on his lap. He got up and carried him on his back and walked down the mountain.
Xiaomao shines a flashlight in front of the road, the clinic is at the entrance of the village, and the distance is not far, but it is hard to carry it all the way. In the cool night, Sheng Chuan was sweating all over, and when he carried Sheng's father to the clinic , hair is wet.
The doctor was still asleep, and when he came out to see the movement, he was also shocked, "Why did you fall like this, hurry up, put it on the chair."
In this village, the door is connected to the door, and the households are connected to each other. They all know each other, but Sheng Chuan hasn't come back for a long time. , turned around and walked to the doorstep and sat down.
The moon was sparse, and when the wind blew outside, there was a slight coolness on Sheng Chuan's back. He unconsciously touched the back of his neck, but heard the doctor and Sheng Jianghe's voice faintly coming from the glass door of the clinic. .
"Old Sheng, the young man at the door is A Chuan, right?"
"Hey, it's..."
"Tsk tsk, he's a good-looking talent, no wonder you keep praising him for his filial piety. I thought you were bragging before, but I saw him today. He's a good guy."
Father Sheng was obviously a little absent-minded, and he just smiled honestly at the doctor's jokes, his eyes always unconsciously looked at the figure sitting outside the glass door, and then unconsciously rubbed his trouser pockets, under the light, The old lines and ravines on the face are clear and distinct.
Sheng's mother came out at some time, she saw Sheng Chuan sitting on the stone steps and didn't speak, she sighed and sat beside him, "Why don't you go in and sit?"
Sheng Chuan was still not used to being in the same room with Sheng's father, he shook his head and said, "It's cool outside."
There is no mother who knows her son. Of course, Sheng's mother knew that her son was uncomfortable. She pulled the small glass sliding door at the entrance of the clinic tighter, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly whispered, "Don't blame your father..."
Even though she was old, Sheng's mother was still handsome, and she could vaguely see the handsomeness of her youth. She clenched her fist with her right hand, hammered her calf lightly, and sighed, "He doesn't know a lot of big characters, and he can't read books." I haven't read it for a few days, what kind of principles can I understand, Chuanzi, you look soft-tempered, but Mom knows that you are actually as stubborn as your father..."
"In the past few years, he has been stubborn and refused to bow his head, but he has long regretted it in his heart. He was drunk once and said that he had done such a stupid thing in his life. Not only did he cut off your way out, You are still forced to refuse to go home, you said that if you and your father bow their heads first, why bother to fight for several years without seeing each other..."
"Your father is uneducated. How could he know the benefits and importance of studying? You couldn't even tell him if that elm head was smashed into pieces. At that time, your grandma was sick again. There was only so little money in the family. It was really used to pay for it." When you read a book, it will be empty all at once, in case of any accident, what do you think should be done?"
What Sheng's mother said was the truth, some Sheng Chuan knew it, and some Sheng Chuan didn't. Compare this with him, he has been running into the mountains every day recently, not because he doesn't want to see you, but because he is afraid that you will be annoyed by seeing him, and if he falls again, he will really not live for a few years."
Sheng Chuan opened his eyes, looked at the night in the distance and said nothing. He remembered the past. Although Sheng's father had a bad temper and liked to whip people with canes, he was kind to him. One year, a flood flooded the bridge in the village. , there was no way to go to school, so Father Sheng carried him on his shoulders every day and waded him to the school.
In school, my feet are soaked.
How did they get to where they are today...
It didn't take long before Sheng Jianghe's wound was healed. His leg was wrapped with a thick circle of gauze. Fortunately, the bone was not broken. Sheng's mother took the medicine and helped him out. run!"
Father Sheng stared, cursing in a low voice, "Look at what nonsense you're talking about, your hair is long, your knowledge is short, and the trees are all on the mountain. I can't do it if I don't take care of them?!"
He didn't seem to want Sheng Chuan to be on his back, so he put his shoulders on Sheng's mother's shoulders, deliberately speeding up, and limped to the front. Sheng's mother repeatedly said, "Slow down, slow down."
Sheng Chuan followed behind and illuminated them with a flashlight. A beam of light and shadow cut through the darkness, illuminating the surrounding trees and bushes indistinctly.
Sheng's mother helped Sheng's father to sit on the chair at the door, "I'll go to the kitchen to order some noodles, and I'll have a midnight snack. I must be tired from running up the mountain for so long, so please sit down and have a rest."
Father Sheng's legs hurt so bad that he couldn't sit still. He touched the pipe in his pocket, as if he wanted to take a few puffs, but he couldn't find the fire. He was searching around, and suddenly there was a lighter in front of him.
Sheng Chuan moved the bench, and at some point sat beside him, holding a red plastic lighter under his fingertips, and handed it to him, "Use this."
Father Sheng looked at him subconsciously when he heard the words, his lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, and finally took the lighter in a hurry, and he felt a little flattered.
The shredded tobacco was ignited, and after a short while, white smoke rose. This kind of smoke tasted very spicy, and ordinary people were not used to it. Sheng's father had smoked for more than ten years, and this smell persisted all over his body.
Sheng Jianghe was smoking a cigarette, almost finished his pipe, and for the first time in his life, he didn't taste anything. Finally, he lowered his head and knocked the ash on the steps, making a muffled sound.
Sheng Chuan took this scene into his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Where did the money for our house come from?"
After many years, it was the first time he spoke to the other party so calmly.
Father Sheng was taken aback when he heard the words, "What?"
Sheng Chuan repeated again, "Where did the money for our house come from?"
Father Sheng seemed a little confused when he heard the words, and unconsciously rubbed his knees with his rough and dark hands, "Didn't you send it back from doing business with someone?"
Sheng Chuan finally felt that something was wrong. It was the same when Father Sheng went to the city to look for him last time. What he said was business, but he was upset at the beginning and didn't intend to pay attention to it. "Who did you hear that I was doing business outside?" gone?"
Sheng's father faintly sensed that his tone was not quite right, and he seemed a little nervous. He didn't know which sentence he said wrong just now, "Your friend said that when you ran away from home, your mother was worried and urged me to go to the city to find you." Go, I went later, but I didn’t find you, I met your friend, he said that you are doing business in partnership.”
Sheng Chuan didn't have much money in his pocket back then, so he went to the city with his relative's car. Later, his relative introduced him to a job. He worked in a factory for a few days, and some friends still kept in touch. Sheng's father had a stubborn temper back then. , taking a gamble and refusing to look for him, and after seven or eight months, she couldn't stand Mother Sheng's soft and hard words, so she entered the city.
He first found the relative who brought Shengchuan to the city, and asked all the way, and found out that he had worked as a deliveryman in the factory for half a month and then resigned. A familiar worker said that he once saw Shengchuan coming out of a luxury residential area, and he seemed to live there. , Sheng Jianghe found it.
That area is a wealthy area, Sheng Jianghe didn't know much about it, because he didn't even go in, and was directly stopped by the security guards, so he chose the most stupid way, squatting at the door every day and waiting, with a photo of Sheng Chuan , I asked everyone I met, I ate steamed buns and pickled vegetables when I was hungry, and I found the cheapest hotel to stay.
Sheng Jianghe didn't expect things in the city to be so expensive. It would cost one or two hundred yuan to stay casually for one night, and the one thousand yuan in his pocket would soon be gone. It was the scorching heat, and when he was squatting outside under a tree waiting, he was almost sunburned. Later, he saw a black car driving out of it in a daze, so he summoned up his energy to block the way to ask.
He has done this many times, but no one pays attention to him at all. The other party will only speed up and leave, or he will scold him for being crazy. This time is no exception. The black car has no sign of stopping at all, but I don't know if it is. Sheng Jianghe suffered from heatstroke, and fell to the ground without standing still, and didn't get up for a long time.
The car had driven some distance away, but for some reason, it backed up again. , please keep in mind:,
