Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 383: : Start making a wish from now on
Under the temptation of Tang, the two dolls let go of their guard against Xun Shifei.
Xun Shifei was able to let go of his airs, so he sat on the ground and chatted with the two dolls, talking about delicious food and fun.
Li Zhen smiled and asked: "Boss Peng, show us to your house."
The seven-year-old baby nodded: "Follow me."
Tiger head and tiger brain, really cute. It's the snot and saliva running on the face, making it dirty.
Everyone stayed outside, Li Zhen and Xun Shifei entered the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a musty smell, which was stuffy.
There is a wooden board in the corner, and an old man with his mouth open has a complicated look on his face.
Hearing movement in the house, the old man turned his head hard, and saw two strangers walked in led by the village security, and said in a hoarse voice, "There is something..."
Cun Bao hurriedly said: "Second Uncle, the Prime Minister and President Li have come to see you."
"Ah? What is the prime minister of the country? What is President Li?"
"The prime minister of our country, and Dean Li of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, came to see you. Dean Li, don't you often say that if your Boss Peng has the future of Dean Li, you will be in **** Can you wake up with a smile? It's that Dean Li."
The eyes of the old man lying under the quilt suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he tried his best to watch carefully: "Don't frame me, Li, can Dean Li still come here?"
"I didn't lie to you. The country wants to vigorously support the development of Xizhou. President Li and Prime Minister Xun came to Xizhou to inspect all the way. When they came to our village, they said that they were going to settle down in our village tonight."
"Huh? Who is Dean Li? Forgive me for my poor eyesight."
Li Zhen stepped forward: "Don't move, old man, I am Li Zhen."
"You are really Dean Li. Let me tell you, my Boss Peng is very smart. He has been smart since he was a child. If he could become a scholar under Dean Li's school, he would be..."
Li Zhen smiled helplessly.
After chatting for a while, Xun Shifei asked: "Old man, what is the source of daily life in the house?"
Speaking of this, the old man had a trace of pain in his eyes: "I used to count on the sheep, but now that the sheep are gone, I can't move anymore. How can I get a source of life? The eldest and second child are still young, and now I'm holding on to a If I let go again, I don't know what the boss and the second will do."
"Have the children in the family come back these years?"
"No. The couple left after giving birth to the second baby. The second baby is now five years old and has never come back. I heard that he died."
After saying this, the atmosphere became a little silent.
At this time, the old man said a little excitedly: "President Li, when I was still able to move, I heard a lot of your stories. You... can you accept the boss and the second? The boss is smart He is very, really, really smart. If he can follow you, even if he is a boy who does odd jobs, as long as he can save his life, I can smile at Jiuquan. He also explained to the ancestors of the Peng family. "
"Lingpeng Village is completely empty now. Once our group of old gangsters die, this village will be gone. Dean Li, can you do it?"
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and he roared angrily: "Come here, kneel down and kowtow to Dean Li."
"This..."
Li Zhen was at a loss, he had never encountered such a situation before.
And the two dolls knelt on the ground involuntarily, and just kowtowed to Li Zhen. Their grandfather didn't speak, and they kept knocking, knocking.
When Li Zhen was in a daze, the two dolls had knocked more than a dozen times, and the ground was making thumping noises.
"Enough."
Li Zhen quickly helped up the two dolls, and was silent for a while: "I will find a way out for them."
"Really!"
The old man suddenly sat up from the bed.
As the quilt slipped, everyone in the room could see clearly that there was a hole in his chest. It was not wrapped in gauze at all, but the wound was covered with lime. Around the wound, the entire chest was purple and shiny.
Hiss——
Li Zhen and Xun Shifei took a deep breath. This injury is too serious.
I heard from the village guard that he was shot with an arrow last year. Could it be that the injured old man survived for a year?
It looks like a quack doctor, but he sprinkled lime on the wound. Not to mention whether it can treat the wound. Just talking about this excruciating pain is not something ordinary people can bear.
Li Zhen gasped for breath, nodded earnestly: "Really. I will arrange for them to go to school, food and clothing, and someone will take care of them in the future."
"Hahaha. Then I'm relieved. Then I'm relieved.,"
The old man laughed wildly.
Li Zhen quickly said: "Don't get excited, don't pull the wound."
"Then I'm relieved."
"Hahahaha, then I'm relieved."
Smiling and laughing, the old man lay down slowly, two lines of tears flowed from the old eyes, and murmured: "Then I can rest assured."
The voice of speaking gradually weakened: "Don't worry..."
I haven't spoken for a long time.
The village guard yelled twice but didn't answer, stretched out his hand to touch it, and died already.
Li Zhen and Xun Shifei's hearts were shocked, and they stared at the old man who said he was leaving with wide eyes in horror.
The shock in my heart is unparalleled. If you go down in one breath, will you die?
The two brothers flung themselves beside the bed, crying loudly, crying extremely terribly. Those who heard it wept, and those who heard it were sad.
Li Zhen took a deep breath, turned his head and wiped away his tears. And even Xun Shifei's eyes were a little red at this time.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things in the world, and the two of them should not be so moved after going through strong winds and waves.
But what is shocking is that this old man was shot through the chest with an arrow, and the wound was marinated with lime. Seeing that his two grandsons were settled, he swallowed in one breath.
How strong is the perseverance to hold on to this breath?
The people who came in from the outside helped to dispose of the corpse and take care of the funeral. And Li Zhen turned around in this house, walked into the kitchen, and the ice pot was cold.
That's right, the old man with mobility is lying on the bed and can't move. How can the two dolls use the pot and stove frequently?
But what do they eat?
Open the cupboard, there is a handful of bark inside, and half a bowl of rice sealed tightly.
Shockingly, there is also a roast mouse worn on a bamboo stick, half of which has been eaten...
He doesn't want to know how this family got here before. Sad in my heart, I probably already know why Xizhou is getting poorer and poorer.
Because of poverty, young people are running outside. Those who stay are old people and children without labor.
So a vicious circle is formed, getting poorer and poorer. It's not clear in the county town, at least that's the case in most of the rural areas in Xizhou.
Next to Mr. Peng's family, there is still an old couple living. The old man is crippled, the old woman is a lunatic, and they are even more sinners than Mr. Peng.
Following Xun Shifei's order, all officials staying outside, no matter how big or small they are. Line up to enter the village, one by one to visit from house to house.
A must visit!
Xun Shifei wants all the officials to know that there is a village under their rule that is miserable.
After the trembling officials visited one by one, there was only silence.
Get out of poverty.
From this day on, these two words kept appearing in everyone's mind...
