At midnight, the entire city of Han is also sleeping, quiet and peaceful. Only service stations like the station are still brightly lit, and the flow of people is far less than during the day, and the number of passengers coming and going is also much sparse.
The last train from the west of Beijing to Zheng City, H Nan Province, the day before, clanged away, and the passengers who got off the train also left the station one after another, walking out of the station building along the exit passage, and in the square outside the station. The lights are as bright as day, and there are many taxis, buses, and buses parked.
The stars in the sky are sparsely scattered, indicating that it will be a sunny day after dawn. The light of the street lamps around the square and the street lamps in the distance are like long dragons, shining together with the stars.
Passengers walked out of the station in twos and threes, taking taxis or getting on buses.
Arrived at the square, Le Yun looked around, bought a bottle of water at the 24-hour store outside the station, bought chicken feet with pickled peppers and roast duck legs from another store, and also wandered to the bathroom. He walked back to the square in front of the station, wandered around again, and boarded a taxi.
The taxi driver is a relatively young middle-aged man with a Chinese character face. When the guests got on the bus, he turned his head and asked, "Hello, welcome to take taxi No. xxx. Are you looking for accommodation or which scenic spot are you going to?"
"Good morning, how much is the chartered bus to Changshou Village?"
"There are many buses from Han City to Changshou Village, and there are also buses from the train station. The fare is 12 yuan. It's cost-effective to wait until dawn and take the bus. It's three hundred if you rent a bus."
"Three hundred, it's so expensive. Can it be cheaper?" Le Yun clicked her tongue, even though she had already agreed that the travel expenses would be reimbursed by the He family. , but it hurts to have to count the money out of my own hand first.
“Girl, I didn’t raise a price. Usually, the price of chartering a bus there at night is 500 at least. If I were an unscrupulous driver who ripped off customers, I wouldn’t tell you that you can take the bus. I also have a son and a daughter. , Don’t do anything unconscionable.”
“Then don’t bargain, three hundred, it’s settled.”
“It’s settled, I’ll charge you more when the time comes. You can complain or not pay anything." The driver smiled cheerfully, unlocked the car, started the car, and set off.
"Follow the car in front and go wherever it goes." The taxi carrying the little girl had just started, and the middle-aged man sitting in another taxi told the driver the purpose.
"No problem." The driver happily drove and asked him to follow him. This was no problem. Even if he was going to a remote place and there were companions on the road, he would not be afraid of being robbed by customers.
"Follow that taxi." At the same time, a young man got off the bus and quickly got into a taxi, asking him to keep up with the taxi that was reversing out.
The driver of the taxi carrying Mr. Le Xiao backed the car out of the parking space, turned off the timer, and drove away from the train station. He happily drove around the city for half a circle, but he was so relaxed and relaxed. Go straight to the goal.
It took less than an hour and a half to get to the Changshou Village Scenic Area from Han City. The taxi swayed slowly and took two hours to get there. It was just after five o'clock and it was not yet dawn. , it was pitch black between heaven and earth, only the lights at the scenic area management fee office in the distance were bright.
There is a fee for Changshou Village Park. If you do not go to the park scenic area, you can only spend money at the villagers' homes in Changshou Village without tickets.
The taxi that took Le Yun first stopped at the square outside the park area, and then returned along the way. It met a taxi a few hundred meters away from the park management area. I missed it, and then, after traveling another 200 meters, I missed the second car.
The taxi that followed the first taxi stopped at the square of the park management office, dropped off the guests, and then turned around. However, within a moment, another taxi arrived and dropped off the guests. The car also returned to the city. When they were driving back one after another, they turned a corner and didn't find the lights of a car in front of them. In other words, they didn't see the shadow of the taxi they were following. They were very puzzled. But they didn’t think much about it, because they came by chartered car and the guests didn’t bargain. They paid generously according to the amount they quoted. They made a fortune and returned to the city happily.
The taxi that took Leyun to the park took a round trip to the toll office. On the way back, it turned a corner, accelerated and ran wildly. When there was a fork in the road, it turned into a branch road and took the person directly to the park. The intersection outside the real longevity village.
"Master, thank you. If I still take this route on my return, I'll call you to pick me up." Le Yun took the driver's business card, got off the car, and paid.
"Okay." The driver took the money. "Hey, girl, it's too much. I said we were talking about three hundred, but you gave us two hundred more."
"The other two hundred is Gas money, master, I wish you a safe journey." Le Yun waved her little hand to the master, turned on the flashlight, and ran into the darkness.
Just when the taxi driver wanted to get out of the car and return the money to the customer, the little girl ran away in a flash. He had no choice but to accept the money, close the door, and watch the little girl run away before setting off for the return journey.
Le Yun walked for a while, waited for the driver to go away, turned around, ran in the other direction, found a remote and secret place, turned off the flashlight, and crawled back to her own space.
After returning to my own one-third of an acre of land, my tense nerves were relaxed. I threw down my backpack, fell down on the grass and spread out in a big shape, and looked at the dark place with my eyes open. daze.
Someone is following her
Even if she doesn’t want to admit it, she has to face the reality.
She was afraid that Yan would find someone to secretly protect her and cause trouble, so she made a plan by herself and set out quietly overnight, from school to the station, without any strange feeling.
The first period of time when she found her seat after getting on the bus was very peaceful. When she took her seat, except for her seatmate and the few passengers next to her who paid attention to her at the beginning, no one else responded. The result was also It's normal, after all, the passengers don't know each other, they are all strangers, and no one will pay attention to each other at all times, unless someone is related to them or that person is very special to attract attention.
A few dozen minutes after sitting down, and nearly an hour later, I felt like I was being stared at.
Her perception is keen. Because there are many people in the car, she cannot accurately find who the person of particular concern is, but can only roughly determine where it is.
The young man who sat next to her later was also the one who was following her. The reason why she was 100% sure was because of her hearing. She heard the conversation between the young man and the middle-aged woman sitting in the same row. The young man In fact, he got on the bus first and then paid for the ticket. He stopped the middle-aged woman next to her when she was going to the toilet. He paid for the sleeper ticket for the middle-aged woman in exchange for the middle-aged woman's seat.
Even if there were no young people, she would get off the train in Hanshi. Her original intention of buying the ticket to the destination was to deceive Handsome Yan and others. She was afraid that they would find out her whereabouts from the station and come over to act as bodyguards. She The original target was Han City, Northern Province.
She confirmed that the young man’s target was her, so she paid more attention when she got off the car. She walked to the place between the two carriages a few minutes in advance, and then quietly observed the young man. As expected, the man She also got off the car, and when the young man went to the other door, she immediately walked forward, passed through three carriages, and got off at another place. Because it was several carriages away, the distance was long, and it was night, so it was impossible for the young man to see When it came to her, she took advantage of that time to get off the bus and ran to a dimly lit area, and exited the station with a few passengers who got off the bus.
However, after getting rid of the young man, the feeling of being stared at still lingered, so I deliberately wandered around the station square for a few times before heading straight to my goal. On the way, I asked the driver to make more turns and give it a try. To see if it was true that he would still be followed, he once again found that there was a car following him closely, so he simply stopped avoiding and allowed them to follow him to Changshou Village.
Why are you following her?
I can’t figure it out. No matter how much I want to break my head, Le Yun can’t figure out why. Those people can’t all be handsome guys from Yan or the He family. She was here to protect her, and she was self-aware, and her weight was not heavy enough to make handsome Yan Yan so nervous.
I stared at the darkness with my eyes open for a long time, rolling around, rolling over, unable to figure out why I was being followed, rolling over, still unable to figure out why an unknown person was following me, rolling around, rolling over, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it. She's confused. First someone wanted to cripple her, then there were spies trying to deal with her, and now there's someone following her for no apparent reason. By the way, who did she offend?
I rolled my head a few times. Everything turned into a mush, so I just stood up like a carp, used a flashlight and ran to pick vegetables and collect medicinal materials.
It starts to dawn around 5:30 to 5:30 in autumn. After Le Yun has picked vegetables and fruits, there is a faint rhythm in the space. She carries her bag and leaves the space quickly.
The sky outside is slightly bright, and the light is very weak, almost the same as the light in space.
In order not to be seen, Le Yun used all her strength and ran towards the mountains in the distance. She ran faster and faster, and the sky became brighter and brighter. When she could see the grass and trees clearly, she ran Arriving at the foot of a mountain peak, he jumped into the woods like a rabbit, and climbed over the mountains and ridges under the cover of the woods, heading towards the main peak of the target Ferris Ridge.
The Changshou Village Scenic Area in Handan City is located at the foot of the Motianling Mountains in the Taihang Mountains. The Motianling Mountains are composed of several peaks, with many mountains and deep canyons. The mountainous area is rich in resources, and there are sub-primitive forests that grow for hundreds of years. Grow wild medicinal materials.
Le Xiao’s classmates searched for informationAccording to the information, several medicinal materials she was looking for grew in Motian Ridge, and several medicinal materials needed to be found in other places.
Running into the mountains, Leyun returned to the mountains like a tiger, completely free of worries. With her foot strength and speed, no one could follow her. For the sake of safety, she still wandered around in the mountains. Jumping up, even if someone found her trace and followed her, they would be confused and unable to find the way.
I made an anti-tracking formation, ran through a valley, crossed a river, disappeared into the forest of another mountain, and returned to space again.
After running for so long, Le Yun was so tired that she was dripping with sweat. She sat down to rest for a while. After she had stopped sweating, she washed her hands and ate fruits. After eating happily, she rolled up her sleeves and went to the medicine field. Plant peanuts.
She has grown beans, but never beans or peanuts. This time she bought some peanuts to prepare for the trip to the mountains. She took advantage of the convenient space in the mountains to plant some quickly and finished planting a small piece of land. of peanuts, and a piece of Chinese cabbage and edamame.
After finishing the work, he changed into gray long-sleeved clothes that matched the mountains and trees, took a hoe to make room, and officially started his plan to dig medicine.
As for why she was being followed, that important and troubling question was put aside for now, waiting for her to collect the medicinal materials for Grandma Yanren’s medicine, and then think about it slowly when she had time.
When the season in Beijing changes from autumn to winter, as time goes by, it gets dark earlier and earlier, and the sky gets darker and darker. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it doesn’t usually arrive until 5:20 It won't be dawn until about a month later.
Yan Xing got up at 4:50 to wash up, and Liu Xiangyang also got up, happily brushing his teeth and washing his face.
"Xiang Yang, did you dream about your sweetheart last night or about picking up gold? You are so happy." Someone Liu had a nice smile. Yan Xing felt it was too dazzling and he had to ask if he should pour cold water on it. , lest Liu become so happy that he forgets everything.
"No, I was thinking that if I acted as a bodyguard for Little Princess Chao, I would have done a lot of credit. The little beauty would probably treat me to dinner again when she came back. In that case, plus the last meal , at least there are two big meals to eat, I feel good just thinking about it." He helped the little beauty find the person behind the harm to her, and also helped her protect her brother Chao. It was a great achievement. He will work hard to win. To gain a good impression, he should be able to ask the little beauty to help.
On the other hand, Young Master Liu was confused again. He and Yan tricked the little beauty. If he asked her for help, he would not know her. Are you willing to comply with his request?
"By the way, is there any latest news about the little beauty?" After struggling for a second, he threw away the worry. Even if the little beauty was still angry and refused to help, he would continue to move forward shamelessly. , begging until she is willing to help.
"No, little Loli got off the bus in Hanshi and dumped the person."
"Hey, has your person been discovered?"
"It's possible. Anyway, the little girl is very clever and very courageous. I am not worried about the safety of the little Loli at all. Instead, I am more worried about the personal safety of the guys who are following her. Whoever successfully tracks her will be discovered. Maybe I really have to contributeLife acts as fertilizer for trees. "
"You said that the little beauty can really kill people?" Mr. Liu was shocked. Don't tell him that the little beauty dared to kill people. He was incompetent.
"Xiao Luo Li studied medicine and was very soft-hearted. Naturally, she would not kill people. Sprinkling a few handfuls of medicine to knock people out or tapping people's acupuncture points to escape themselves were normal means of self-protection. If the unlucky guy who got caught was unlucky, It happened that a wild beast happened to pass by and unfortunately became prey, so you can't blame the little Loli, right? "
Looking at the sky and the ground, Liu Xiangyang touched his heart weakly, "Guwu disciples are scary, and Guwu disciples who understand Chinese medicine are even scarier. For the sake of personal safety, don't offend the little beauty. ”
Yan Xing didn’t care about Mr. Liu’s frightened appearance. He shaved and cleaned his face, packed himself up, found a backpack from the closet, and helped the little lolita The medicine prepared by grandma was put in.
Master Liu hurriedly finished washing, put on his backpack with books and belongings, and went downstairs with Mr. Yan. He took Mr. Yan off on his motorcycle. The school took a taxi outside, and then went back to Qingdao University.
Because it was just after five o'clock, the office workers and students had not set off yet, so the traffic was the easiest, the taxis were smooth, and it took half an hour to get to the military hospital. Main hospital.
The taxi stopped in front of the inpatient department building. Mr. Yan got out of the car and went straight to the elevator with his bag on his back. When he got to the inpatient department floor, he was careful not to disturb other hospitalized family members. I knocked gently on the door where my great-grandma lived, then opened the door and walked in.
The He family called back yesterday morning. After noon, they received a call. Some people in important jobs were not there. Taking leave, in the evening, several people from the He family who were retired or not civil servants went to the hospital to accompany them. They included He Zigong's eldest son He Zigong's third son He Qiwei, his second son He Zirong and his third son He Qicheng's. The second son, He Mingxin, is the grandson of He Zirong; the fifth son of the He family, He Qijie, the second son of He Zihua, and his wife Jiang Yu, are the parents of He Xiaoba and He Mingtao.
He Qican, the fourth son of He Zirui. , He Mingjing, the daughter of the third son He Qiyu
The daughters-in-law of the He family are all old ladies. Not being able to accompany them to the hospital only made the children worried. They did not go to the hospital and stayed at home.
The brothers are here. He Qiwen went back to rest last night so that he could go to work the next day. He rushed to the hospital the night before and took a temporary leave yesterday. Now that his ancestor has hope of recovery, He Zirui asked him to go back. , He Qiwen joined the army and now works in the logistics department of the army, with the rank of senior colonel.
Only a few people from the He family were present, and the team of family members was already extremely large.
Because Ms. There are only sisters Luo Xiulan and Jiang Yu, He Panpan and He Mingjing, so the four of them are responsible for changing the ancestor's diapers and wiping the body. The men are responsible for other things.
The men take turns to keep vigil at night, and He Zirong. He Zirui, who is older, sleeps on the sofa; Luo Xiulan and Jiang Yu are grandchildren, He Panpan is pregnant with the baby, and the three ladies also sit on the sofa and doze off; the others have sofas to sit on, and there is no place to sit on the ground and spread blankets and pavements. .
He Mingsheng and He Mingjun just arrived at 5 o’clock.He got up to boil the medicine. After that, He Mingtao, He Mingxin, and He Mingjing also got up to help. He Mingjing checked the ancestor's body, then sat down and closed his eyes to rest.
The juniors of the He family also removed the safety bolt on the door early, but Young Master Yan easily pushed the door open and entered.
When they heard the knock on the door, the confused He Zirui and others also woke up. They sat up, climbed up, rubbed their waists, rubbed their faces, and stretched, all with sleepy eyes open. He muttered something like "Who is it?" "Ah, it's dawn."
When Yan Xing stepped through the door, he looked up and saw that only two energy-saving lamps were turned on in the rest area. Under the light and soft light, several people were leaning on the sofa. There were blankets in the open space, sitting like rice dumplings. There are several middle-aged and young people.
Seeing his relatives, his pair of dragon eyes full of awe-inspiring righteousness shone softly, and his handsome face showed a warm smile that was warmer than the spring breeze in March. "Second uncle, third uncle, good morning, Good morning to seventh aunt, eighth uncle, eleventh uncle, eleventh aunt, and thirteenth uncle. Good morning to second brother, third brother, fifth sister, eighth brother, twelfth brother, and sixteenth brother."
That long string of greetings refers to sister. There is no pause in the ranking of the brothers, which can make people faint.
Each He family brother has two to four children. The eldest son, He Zi Gong, the eldest son, He Qiwen, ranks first among the third generation siblings; the second son, He Qiwu, ranks fourth; the third son, He Qiwei, ranks eighth. ;The fourth daughter He Qixing, ranked tenth;
The second son of the He family, He Zirong, has his eldest son Zhu Qili, ranked fifth; the second daughter He Qiyi, ranked sixth; the third son He Qicheng, ranked twelfth;
p>The third son of the He family, He Zirui, has the eldest son He Qishu, ranked second; the second daughter He Qishi, ranked third, they are twins; the third son He Qiyu, ranked ninth; the fourth son He Qishan , ranked thirteenth;
The eldest son He Zihua, the fifth son of the He family, He Qiying, ranked seventh; the second son He Qijie, ranked eleventh.
Among the He Jiaqi generation, He Qiwen’s eldest son, He Minghong, ranks first among his siblings; his second son, He Mingda, ranks sixth;
He Qiwu’s son, He Mingsheng, ranks third 2. He Qiwei has a son, He Mingmao, ranked seventh; He Qili has a son, He Mingjun, ranked third; and his second son, He Mingzhi, ranks fifteen.
He Qishu’s eldest son, He Mingxi, and his second daughter, He Panpan, are also twins, ranking fourth and fifth respectively in the overall ranking.
He Qicheng’s eldest daughter He Mingshuang, ranked fourteenth; his second son He Mingxin, ranked sixteen;
He Qiyu’s eldest daughter He Mingjing, ranked twelve; He Mingcan’s eldest son He Mingtang, ranked ten Three;
He Qiying’s eldest son He Mingliang, ranked 11th; He Qijie’s eldest son He Mingtao, second son He Minglue, and third daughter He Mingqing. The three are triplets, ranked eighth, ninth, and third respectively. ten.
The second generation of the He family has four brothers, and the third generation has a total of twelve children. In the fourth generation, due to the family planning policy, civil servants working in state-owned enterprises can only have one child. Only a few gave birth to a second child. Even so, it developed into a large team of sixteen people, which is not unspectacular. By analogy, the He family is truly flourishing and has prosperous descendants., it is not a dream to have children and grandchildren in the future.
Luo Xiulan is the wife of He Qiying, the eldest son of the He family's five-time He Zihua, and Jiang Yu is the wife of He Qijie. The elders and juniors all address his wife according to the ranking of men in the He family.
The He family has many descendants, and due to their blood relationship, they look very similar. Therefore, when brothers and sisters of a certain generation stand together, it is difficult for outsiders to tell who is who.
"Xiao Longbao."
"Brother Longbao."
Everyone in the He family saw the elegant and bright young man entering the ward, and were attracted by his charming smile. His eyes were dazzled, and everyone was smiling. The elders and older brothers and sisters called him by his nickname, and his younger cousins affectionately called him Brother Longbao.
"Brother Long Bao, you are back so early." He Mingxin jumped up and rushed towards his cousin like flying.
He is the youngest among the fourth generation, at eighteen years old. He is the most carefree and has a wild temper. Because he is the youngest, his brothers and sisters dote on him, and he is also the most naughty and willful.
He Mingxin spread his legs and rushed to his cousin's side with a roar. He jumped on his cousin like an octopus, and then hugged the person's neck like a tree. The otter hung sideways on his cousin's chest.
He Zirong had just sat down, and when he saw his little grandson's naughty look, his eyes twitched, "Xiao Shiliu, let go now. What does it look like at such a big age, but he still doesn't sit or stand."
He Er is also an old man who is over 70 years old, with silver threads in his hair and a tigerish face. He is quite evil. But who is He Mingxin? He is the youngest little devil in the He family, so he is not afraid of his grandfather's fierce appearance. He just turned his head and took a look, ignoring his grandfather's dark face, and continued to play with his cousin as a tree.
"Second brother, don't get angry early in the morning. It's not a fight. The children can do whatever they like. Just pretend you didn't see them." He Zirui sat upright and reached out to pat his brother's shoulder to comfort him. He has a lion-like temper.
"If you indulge him like this, he doesn't know how high the sky is, and he might cause trouble one day."
"Second uncle, Shiliu is just a little lively, and things are not right." He knows how to distinguish between good and evil, and he has never gotten into trouble that he shouldn't have, so you can rest assured." Yan Xing stretched out his big hand, put his arm around his little cousin's waist, and twisted his little cousin so effortlessly. He easily lifted it off his neck, hugged his cousin's legs like an eagle pinching a chicken, made him face up, and lifted him upside down in his hands, shaking him.
"Brother Long Bao, put me down quickly, ah ah ah, I don’t want to play anymore, the house is spinning, oops, I feel dizzy ah ah ah"
Seeing that my little brother was being raped The younger brother was so excited that he screamed, and He Mingsheng and the other brothers and sisters just laughed and laughed. When Shiliu met Xiao Longbao, he was always dealt with instantly.
He Zirong, He Zirui, He Qili and others also looked at Xiaoliu happily. No one of them went to the rescue, they all just watched the show. Xiaoliu was lifted upside down by Xiaolongbao. I couldn't get up when I thought about it, and I was waving my arms wildly, which was really funny.
"Sixteen, tell my brother that your studies are as good as"Did you skip class or ask for leave?"
"Brother Long Bao, I didn't skip class. I came here after class. I will go back to school later. Brother, let me down quickly. Your brother My waist is almost broken. ”
“Children who don’t skip class are good children. Yan Xing finally reached out generously to pick him up, let his little cousin stand on his feet, and stretched out his hands to rub his head. "Be good, brush your teeth and wash your face. Go have breakfast and go back to school. During the National Day holiday, go home and be filial to your elders." Ancestors. I heard that Fifteen is going to participate in the Autumn University Games this year. You can't afford to lose miserably. ”
“I understand, I understand. "He Mingxin was shaken from side to side several times. He was still a little dizzy after he stood firm. He muttered in a low voice, "Brother Fifteen is the least cute. He is obviously a liberal arts student and his motor nerves are still so well developed. It hits me. ”
Yan Xing smiled leisurely. Fifteenth cousin Mingzhi was a sophomore in college. He was a track and field athlete in the school. He was better than Sixteenth in sports. Xiaoliu was depressed to death, but he would not tell Cousin Sixteen knew that there was a child whose athletic talent was better than his family's.
After Little Sixteen had finished acting coquettishly, He Mingsheng asked about the situation and asked the little doctor, who had no special instructions. Asked the little doctor when he was going to collect medicine, why Xiaolongbao didn't send her to the car, etc.
Yan Xing answered one by one, telling everyone that little Loli had left last night and brought her back. Take out the medicines and tell them which ones to boil first and which ones to boil later, as well as the medicines to put in the mouth and the medicines to boil in water and drink.
In fact, there is no need to worry about making mistakes, each medicine comes with it. In the note, what should be paid attention to, how much water should be used, and how long it should be boiled are all clearly marked.
The He family put the medicine away like a treasure and quickly washed it, He Mingxin. It was time to go to class, so he didn't have breakfast with everyone. He went to kiss his great-grandmother, and then left the hospital to take the subway back to school.
He had takeout early. After breakfast, the medicine was almost gone, so he poured it out to cool down. , endured for the third time, and by 7:30 the third dose of medicine was ready, three-in-one. Everyone gave the medicine to the ancestors, then packed their luggage and sent them to the car. After 8:30, the hospital staff officially handed over the shift. He Zirong He Zirui went to the doctor in person to go through the discharge procedures.
The attending doctors and hospital leaders and experts all knew that Mr. He was terminally ill and could not survive. The family hoped that the old man could spend his last moments peacefully at home, so they could. He understood the family's feelings, agreed to the family's request, and signed for the He family to undergo the discharge surgery.
The hospital leaders and the attending doctor signed, and everyone in the He family and the medical staff gave the green light. The staff pushed Ancestor He downstairs, Yan Xing picked up his great-grandma and got into the car. He Zirong and He Zirui sat in the same car. He Qili and others thanked the medical staff again and again and then boarded the car separately. A total of seven cars in a row lined up to return. He family.
