Chapter 4 Going to the county seat

The oil lamp is like a bean. There are many shadows.

I'm not dead?

Liu Ye's eyelids moved and he saw Li Cuiyu's anxious expression shaking in front of him.

"Uncle Ming, Xiaoye is awake!"

Li Cuiyu cried with joy and held Liu Ye's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would fly away.

"Xiaoye!"

The old captain Liu Hanming also shouted excitedly, feeling relieved.

Liu Ye wanted to move, but his whole body ached. Especially his back, where a piece of flesh had probably been torn off by the wolf's claws. The heart-piercing pain made him grin and gasp.

"Sit up and drink some rice soup."

Li Cuiyu helped Liu Ye up and let him lean on the bed. Then he fed Liu Ye a small spoonful.

Liu Ye drank the rice soup happily, and the guilt in his heart increased a bit.

Why didn't I cherish such a good wife in my previous life?

Seeing that Liu Ye was fine, Liu Hanming also found an excuse and left.

Two precious daughters, one on the left and one on the right, sat beside Liu Ye, their faces full of pride.

Huahua: "Dad, a lot of people came to our house just now, and they all said you are a great hero!"

Linlin: "My dad is a hero! He killed two wolves by himself, who dares to compare with my dad!"

From the mouths of his two daughters, he learned that all the neighbors in the village came to see him.

While drinking the fragrant new rice porridge, Liu Ye asked: "Honey, isn't there no rice in our house?"

Li Cuiyu: "I borrowed five liters of rice from Grandma Shan's house, and I will return it to her after we have the rice."

The third grandmother is an old woman from Liu Zushan's family. She is Liu Zushan's third wife. It is said that she came to Yanzi'ao from a province in the southwest to beg for food.

Liu Zushan had a violent personality throughout his life and had practiced martial arts. Few people in the village dared to offend him. His first wife gave birth to two sons, and later died of dystocia. His second wife gave birth to two more sons. The couple fought

There was a fight, and soon his wife died inexplicably.

The year when Grandma Shan came to Yanzi'ao, Liu Zushan was already sixty years old. He is sixty-three this year.

The two of them nominally have four sons, but in fact none of them is Shan Nai's biological son.

Even if he is Liu Zushan's biological son, no son treats him well and does not receive a penny of alimony all year round. Even when he is over sixty years old, he still has to dig his own food from the land, otherwise he will starve to death.

What surprised the villagers was that Liu Zushan was always beating and scolding his two wives, but he was surprisingly kind to Grandma Shan and listened to her words very much.

Li Cuiyu said: "I heard that you were injured, and everyone in the village was anxious. Grandma gave us a small bottle of aged rapeseed oil. She said that this stuff has the effect of promoting muscle growth and removing toxins. I just treated your whole body.

Apply rapeseed oil to the two wounds."

Hearing this, Liu Ye couldn't help but feel a little moved.

In the last life, after Liu Zushan died, the mountain lady had no biological son, so she was kicked out of the house by those unfaithful sons, and she once again embarked on the old path of begging.

After that, I never heard from her again.

Liu Ye said with moist eyes: "Grandma Shan treats us so well, we can't treat her badly. Her sons are definitely unreliable. Once the old man dies, I want to raise her."

Li Cuiyu was silent for a few seconds and said: "Then you have to make a difference. You can't even get three meals a day, so how can you help others?"

Liu Ye said firmly: "Cuiyu, early tomorrow morning, I will push them to the 713 Factory vegetable market to sell them for money."

Li Cuiyu rolled her eyes at him and asked, "You owe Xie Bin a gambling debt. If he sees it, won't he rob you of your money?"

"Then go to the county vegetable market. Anyway, I paid for this with my life, so there is no reason not to turn it into money. Besides, these are game meats, and city people like them quite a lot, and they can be sold at a good price."

"I think it's okay. But I have to wait until your injury heals."

"Wait until I recover from my injury? How is this possible? I went to bed and tried to get up in the middle of the night. Huiyu, help me borrow a cart from the captain's house."

"All right."

…

It is a fifteen-kilometer journey from Yanzi'ao to Raozhou County.

The roads in this era are all dirt roads, there are no cement roads or asphalt roads.

"On a sunny day, you are covered with gray, and on a rainy day, you are covered with mud." This is the best portrayal of highways in this era.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Liu Ye endured the severe pain and loaded the two wild wolves and a hare onto the flatbed truck, preparing to hit the road alone. Li Cuiyu also got up.

She said weakly: "Liu Ye, you just suffered such a serious injury and you have to walk thirty miles alone. I'm worried. I want to go to the county seat with you."

Liu Ye was a little embarrassed and asked: "What should we do with Huahua and Linlin?"

Li Cuiyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll let them go together."

Huahua and Linlin were still sleeping. Li Cuiyu carried them to the flatbed truck, but they didn't wake up either.

Two wild wolves and a hare were put into snakeskin bags and placed on the back of the flatbed truck. The scales, machetes, etc. were packed in another bag. The two daughters Huahua and Linlin were placed in the front of the flatbed truck to sleep.

Liu Ye was pulling the cart in front, and Li Cuiyu was pushing the cart behind. Based on his memory, Liu Ye quickly found the road leading to Raozhou County.

At around seven or eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Ye's family had already entered the county town.

Huahua and Linlin also woke up.

What they saw was a five- or six-story high-rise building, and the road became very wide. They suddenly became excited and chattered non-stop.

Li Cuiyu came to the county for the first time and did not know much about the county. It was left to Liu Ye to answer the questions for her two daughters.

When they learned that this was the county town, they shouted: "I will go to the county town to study in the future. This place is much better than our village!"

There are gradually more cars and bicycles. From time to time, sirens and bicycle bells sound on the street.

Although the county seat at this time was not as high as in later generations, and the streets were not as prosperous as in later generations. But it was enough to stimulate the nerves of Li Cuiyu and her two daughters.

Seeing them so happy, Liu Ye felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Such a backward county makes them happy like this. If they knew how prosperous the future generations would be, would they still be able to turn their heads?

No. 20 Dongsheng Road. County Vegetable Market.

Liu Ye pushed the flatbed truck into the entrance of the vegetable market and immediately became worried.

Every stall in the vegetable market seems to have an owner. Where is the place where you can sell game?

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a business uniform and holding a receipt in her hand walked in from outside. Liu Ye quickly greeted him and asked with a smile: "Comrade, where are the stalls?"
