Chapter 14 Turnaround

The old farmer picked up the food and walked slowly at the beginning. He left the village and accelerated his pace, but did not go up to the grave, but went straight to a small river. After a heavy rain just now, the river surface became much wider, and some water plants drooped on the soil on the shore. In this quiet night, there was no anger, but it seemed a little cold.

He put down the bamboo basket, took out a yellow paper from his arms, and lit it with a lighter. He took out three more incense sticks and two white candles, all of which were lit.

He squatted by the river, shaking the yellow watch in his hand, making its flame bigger.

The fire shone on his vicissitudes of life, and tears came up from his muddy eyes. He choked and said to himself:

"Today, I wanted to go to your grave to talk to you, but I didn't expect that when I met someone, I could only be here. Today is your little daughter's 20th birthday. She blames me for not remembering every year, but you know I don't have the face to celebrate her birthday. I also know that you hate me, and even hate me to come to see you. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just want to be a good grandfather in the eyes of your daughter when I am alive."

The face that looked like a flower and jade in his mind reflected the past twenty years ago. He felt mixed feelings in his heart, and the last few words were already in tears.

When the yellow bell burned out, he stopped talking, quietly watching the three incense burned out, extinguished the candle, and then walked up to the grave.

The two people on the mountain guarded the young sister with a weak breath. As time passed, the hope in her heart weakened slightly, and layers of loss and despair followed.

Lei Xiong carried Li Yun on his back and said, "Renjie, let's go, we can't wait to die here!"

Cheng Renjie pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "Look!"

Lei Xiong raised his head and saw a person walking towards here under the mountain. Judging from his figure, it was indeed the old farmer just now, and the two of them calmed down a little.

The old farmer walked up to him, took out the soup and medicine, and signaled several people to eat and drink.

Lei Xiong supported Li Yun, and Cheng Renjie fed her the medicine. The two were already hungry. After Li Yun finished drinking the medicine, they thanked the old farmer and started eating. They felt that although this was not a delicacy, it was very delicious. After eating, they felt energetic.

The old farmer said, "Don't leave. I will send you medicine and food in the next few days. Today you can make some money first, and I will bring two quilts tomorrow."

The two nodded, both of them felt aroused.

Cheng Renjie carried Li Yun into the cave, and the white moonlight shot in. He pulled the hay inside and spread it on the ground. He gently placed Li Yun on it.

Lei Xiong said: "Hareman, I thought this hot land in the south could realize our dreams, but I didn't expect to cause you to suffer."

Cheng Renjie said: "You have promised your junior sister just now. No matter what, you will be responsible for her. As for my junior brother, you don't have to worry about it." His tone was cold, as if he was talking to a stranger.

Lei Xiong said: "Adult Jie, things are too sudden. I can't see my junior sister as pitiful."

Adult Jie turned his head and shot Lei Xiong like a sharp arrow, saying, "I don't want to hear anything now, you hypocrite!"

Lei was ambitious and said, "Cheng Renjie, why do you say these words to hurt our brothers' relationship? When the junior sister is ready, we will calm down before we can say this?"

Cheng Renjie shook his head and said, "I can't compare to you in terms of martial arts, and I'm not as good as you in terms of wisdom. It's nothing. But now the junior sister likes you, I'm not willing to give up!" His last four words were like popping out of her teeth.

Lei Xiong patted his shoulder and said, "Cheng Renjie, believe me! I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter! Nothing can hurt the relationship between our brothers. If it doesn't work, I won't fight back no matter how you hit me."

Cheng Renjie glanced at Lei Xiong and remembered that no matter what differences or misunderstandings they had since childhood, they would fight one after another. Every time they fought, the misunderstandings were eliminated, and the two were better than before. Later, when they grew up, they stopped fighting easily. When they arrived at Chishan Martial Arts School, the two of them fought again, and they were also counterattacking.

Cheng Renjie felt soft and said, "No matter what, he can't hurt his junior sister."

Lei Xiong smiled relaxedly and said, "Don't worry!"

Adult Jie also smiled faintly and said, "It's getting late, let's sleep for a while!" After that, he lay down on the ground.

Lei Xiong also slept on the ground. With his many years of habit, even if there were any complicated things, he would close his eyes and stop thinking about it. He would fall asleep soundly after a while.

The next morning, Li Yun opened his eyes, glanced at Lei Xiong who was lying beside him, and then closed it gently. Her face was a little better, but she still looked pale.

When Lei Xiong saw her wake up, he touched her forehead and the fever had subsided. He asked Cheng Renjie to take good care of her and go down the mountain to find He Zhiyou.

As soon as Lei Xiong walked down the hillside, he saw the group of people yesterday and sneaked back quietly.

At this time, it started to rain, and the three of them had to return to the cave. Seeing the rain falling continuously, they were all worried.

The rain kept falling, and it seemed that there was no intention to stop. The three of them were very upset. After a while, they seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. Instead of sitting and worrying, it would be better to take the opportunity to accumulate energy.

Whenever it was time for dinner, the old farmer would carry a large basket of things and walked to the three of them with a smile. In addition to the meals for three people, there must be a can of black soup and medicine in the basket. Although the meal was far from as delicious as the first time they were delivered, they swept every meal.

What makes people laugh and cry is that every time they talk to an old farmer, both sides struggle.

Li Yun had a sudden inspiration and picked up a stick and wrote words on the mud. She wrote a sentence, and the old farmer wrote a sentence, and it took a long time to make the meaning clear.

The old farmer sighed, shook his head, and wrote: "You wait, I will help you find a job."

It turned out that the old farmer's surname was Yan and named Yan Haifu. He had only one granddaughter in his family, and his grandchildren depended on each other for life. His granddaughter worked in a foreign-funded company.

In the next two days, Yan Haifu not only made the meal more hearty, but also brought paper and pen to facilitate conversation. Every time he watched them finish their meal, he had to say a long time before leaving.

Li Yun has already recovered. After two or three days of recuperation, his complexion has improved a lot, and his face has gradually become a little flushed.

That morning, Yan Haifu saw that the three of them finished their meal and wrote a line of words on the paper:

"Children, the sensation of "three no's" has passed these days. My granddaughter said, "You can go quickly when you are recruiting workers in her factory!"

"Uncle Yan, you are really our nobleman."

Yan Haifu wrote the address and route of Xiao Wu worked on a piece of paper and handed it to them, saying, "Go quickly!"

The three of them were overjoyed, took the paper, left him, and happily went down the mountain.

Lei Xiong looked at it and found that Yan Haifu's handwriting was elegant and elegant, but not exactly like a doctor's font. Then he smiled and said, "I can't tell that Uncle Yan, an old farmer, can write such good words."

Li Yun came over, looked at it, and said, "It's true!"

Yan Haifu saw the three of them walking away and came to an inconspicuous grave.

There are two vague words engraved on the surface of this tomb, and nothing else is left.

Yan Haifu stretched out his calloused hand, gently stroked the two words, and said, "Lan, these young people said that they are from Chishan Martial Arts School in Weizhou. Weizhou is your in-laws' home. I could not save them from the beginning, but I don't know why I wanted to save them."

The three of them took a bus for about twenty minutes according to what was written on the paper and came to an industrial area. The factories were everywhere, tall buildings were everywhere, shops were mixed, crowded, and the crowd was bustling. They came to the door of the company mentioned on the paper and saw a row of gilded characters - "Changmei Clothing Co., Ltd.".

Several uniformed security guards were walking at the door.

There were already forty or fifty people outside the door, squatting or standing forty or fifty people, all of whom were in their twenties, talking excitedly about something, looking at their appearance and expression, they were all here to find a job.

Li Yun said: "It's here, you're beautiful in costumes, that's right. Why didn't you see Uncle Yan's granddaughter?"

The company is very large and surrounded by stainless steel fences. Through the fence, you can see a huge sculpture in the middle of the open space in the factory. The sculpture is very abstract, like a geometric pattern, or like a person who seems to be about to fly into the sky. Next to the sculpture are the national flags of the two countries and a factory flag, and the three-color flags are swaying high. On the left is a basketball court, and on the right is a small garden, full of dense small trees and verdant grass, as well as a cobblestone path and a small pond.

The three of them were delighted. The factory environment was elegant, and compared to the brick factory, it was really in the sky and underground.

After a while, the security guard at the door waved to the crowd outside and shouted: "Everyone hand over your ID card! Now we are starting to recruit workers!"

The people around outside immediately rushed to the door and handed the documents in their hands to the security window for fear of falling behind.

The security guard said: "Don't hurry, come one by one! There are all opportunities."

At this time, a girl came out of the factory.

Everyone immediately stopped restless, and the forty or fifty people suddenly became silent, and everyone's attention was focused on her. The factories in the south generally use young and beautiful girls to recruit positions. Everyone guessed that she might be the recruiting staff, but there was a mysterious power in her, which made people feel very comfortable when they looked at her and couldn't bear to look away. But they felt that a look was a blasphemy against her. Everyone was thinking that such a fairy-like girl was really rare in the world. It would be fine if she just said that she was born with a very beautiful appearance, but she still had that kind of charm that was different from ordinary people.

The girl is slender, wearing a dark blue lapel knee-length skirt, holding her head up, smiling, and walking dignifiedly. It was Xiao Wu.
