Two cars passed through the county town. The county town is not big, the asphalt roads on the streets are bumpy, and there are very few vehicles in the city. At first glance, this area looks relatively backward.
As Chengru drove, he asked Wei Chao next to him: "Is your place not very wealthy?" Wei Chao said with a somewhat depressed face: "Most of our area is hilly, there is very little land in the county, and the location is relatively remote.
There are no big enterprises, so it is a poor county. Most of the young and middle-aged people have gone out to work, and some of the originally small land is also deserted."
Cheng Ru nodded, followed Wei Chao's instructions, filled up the gas in the county town, and drove out of the city. Not far from the city, the bumpy asphalt road had turned into a dirt road, and the car kicked up dust all over the sky.
Quickly rolling up the car window, Wei Chao shook his head gently and sighed: "I haven't been back for a few years. I didn't expect that my hometown has basically not changed. It's still the same."
They actually walked for more than two hours on more than 60 kilometers of dirt road. When the car turned along the main road and turned into a rugged path on the side, Wan Lin and the others saw through the dusty car windows that there was an ups and downs outside.
of hilly areas.
There are weeds and some dry trees growing on the surrounding low hillsides. The hillsides are covered with withered yellow leaves and weeds. The sky is blue without any clouds.
Wei Chao turned around and said: "We are almost there. There is little rain in our place all year round, so the vegetation is not lush, and we have to rely on the sky to grow food."
Wan Lin and the others nodded from behind. They could tell from the houses they passed by that the farmers here were very hard-working. Some of the houses were made of adobe, and some of the low roofs were plastered with straw and mud.
Everything shows the poverty of this area.
Two grass-green jeeps were already covered with yellow dust. The vehicles were bumping along the hills. Pieces of farmland were scattered on the hillside in the distance. Several elderly people wearing worn-out straw hats passed by the vehicles from time to time.
The dark faces were covered with deep wrinkles like knives and axes, showing the hardship of their lives.
The car drove forward for more than half an hour, and a village finally appeared in the distance. Wei Chao excitedly pointed to the front and said to Wan Lin and others: "That's our village, we're finally home! Hahaha"
, he shouted excitedly, but the corners of his eyes slowly became moist.
Several years later, he finally came back. Although it was poor and backward, this was the place where he grew up. It held his childhood memories and relatives who were still in his dreams.
Wan Lin and others were all moved by Wei Chao's emotion. They stood up, lay on the back of the front seat and stretched their necks to look forward.
A few large willow trees at the entrance of the village have solitary yellow willow branches hanging low, and low khaki farmyards are scattered on both sides of a dirt road in the village. Four or five children wearing dirty clothes are sitting there.
Standing at the entrance of the village, several elderly people were sitting on the rocks under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, turning their heads and staring in the direction of the jeep.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the village, Wei Chao asked Cheng Ru to stop the car, opened the door and jumped out. He ran to the tree and bent down to say hello to several old men. When the old men saw Wei Chao, they were stunned for a moment and then stood up.
What were you talking about to Wei Chao?
Several people in the car watched Wei Chao say a few words to a few old men. Wei Chao raised his hands to the car behind him and walked towards the village. The two cars slowly followed Wei Chao and drove towards the village.
Wan Lin opened the car window and turned to look outside. There were about seven to eighty households in the village. Several of the houses in the village were two- or three-story red brick buildings, and most of them were low adobe houses. A few houses
Chickens were running on the road to avoid oncoming cars, and the barking of dogs kept coming from the surrounding courtyards.
Wei Chao led the car to a small courtyard behind the village and stopped. As soon as Wan Lin and others jumped out of the car, Wei Chao grinned and shouted loudly to the courtyard: "Little sister,
Little sister!"
"Brother, big brother, big brother!" A choking, hoarse cry suddenly came from the courtyard. Wei Chao pushed open two courtyard doors made of broken wooden boards and rushed in. As the courtyard door was pushed open,
Open, Wei Chao was stunned. He stood motionless in the courtyard.
Wan Lin and others were busy opening the back door of the jeep to unload things. They were stunned when they heard the changed shouts in the courtyard. They turned to look at the courtyard. They saw a man with a dark complexion, nearly 1.7 meters tall and a tall figure.
The slender and thin girl was holding a wooden stick with both hands and limping towards the entrance of the hospital, dragging a bandaged leg, her sallow face covered with tears.
"Little sister!" Wei Chao yelled and rushed forward. He suddenly tore off the bandage hanging around his neck with his left hand. He pulled out his right arm and stretched out his arms to hug his sister. Two big tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Come down.
"Brother, you're back! Woohoo!" The girl hugged Wei Chao's neck tightly and cried loudly. Wan Lin outside the door was so startled that he threw down the things in his hands and ran into the yard with a "hurrah".
"What's going on? What's wrong with you? What's wrong? Tell me!" Wei Chao shouted loudly with tears on his face, but the younger sister just hugged his neck tightly and refused to let go, crying loudly.
Everyone's hearts twitched as they listened to her cry. Xiaoya saw the thick gauze on her legs at a glance, and immediately called to Lingling: "Take it! Carry her into the house." After saying that, she turned around and ran out of the hospital.
Go, she is a field doctor, and she always carries a set of field rescue equipment with her.
At this time, Jin Yue also reacted, turned around and ran outside with Xiaoya. Lingling took the little girl from Wei Chao's hand and walked into the house. Wei Chao's face turned red anxiously, and he rushed towards the row of red bricks opposite the courtyard door.
The house shouted loudly: "Dalong! Get out of here!" He raised his feet and strode towards the opposite side.
At this time, the door opposite suddenly opened, and a 25- to 6-year-old boy who looked quite like Wei Chao came out with his head lowered, but he was slightly shorter than Wei Chao. He looked at the courtyard with a melancholy expression.
Several people, then looked at Wei Chao with some timidity, and whispered: "Big brother is back."
Wei Chao stepped in front of him and shouted: "Tell me, what happened to little sister?" Dalong trembled when he heard his brother's roar, and replied in a low voice: "It's not her fault. A month ago
, she was riding her boyfriend’s motorcycle to buy things for her wedding, but the car overturned on the way, and her leg was broken by the motorcycle, that’s all.”
"Why didn't you go to the hospital?" Wei Chao stared at his younger brother fiercely, "Her boyfriend took her to the county hospital. The hospital said it was a comminuted fracture. The county hospital was in poor condition and couldn't treat it, so she had to go to the city.
He had to go to a big hospital, and it would cost a lot of money, so his boyfriend asked the doctor to bandage it and then came back." Dalong lowered his head and said.
