Ye Cheng

Ye Cheng hadn't stepped out of his yard for a long time, and the gate was always closed, only opening for a while when grandma came.

That day, someone knocked on the door of Ye Cheng's courtyard suddenly. He asked who it was, but no one answered, so he wanted to open the door to see what was going on, and then three young people about fifteen or sixteen years old broke in. He caught the two hens in two or three strokes, and then went after Huizi again.

When Huizi saw that these people had grabbed the hen at home, he started barking wildly, and rushed to bite him, but was kicked to the ground by the other party.

Ye Cheng wanted to snatch his hen back, but he was pushed onto the steps, his forehead hit the edge of the steps, and he bled a lot. He didn't cry, but stood up and continued to grab the hen. Those people saw Blood was probably a little scared, so he stopped chasing the dog and ran away with the hen in his hand.

"Hey! Hey! Where did this little bastard come from! Wicked and smoldering things, let's see if I don't interrupt your dog legs!" Qian Xingliang from the village happened to pass by the door of Ye Cheng's house and saw those bastards in the hands. Holding the hen, Ye Cheng chased after him with blood on his face, and hurriedly followed.

Those young people ran even faster when they saw an adult. Qian Xingliang gave up after a few steps and stopped Ye Cheng who was behind him by the way.

"You are a desperate doll, you are still chasing after your head is broken. Let's go, uncle will take you to the hospital for stitches."

"Hen!" Ye Cheng remembered what his grandmother told him. If the hen was stolen, he would no longer be able to eat eggs. Recently, Cai Jinzhi seldom took food from him. Vegetables are only the eggs laid by the two old hens.

"Forget about the hens, I know those cubs, Uncle, I'll go get stitches first, and we'll go to their house later." Uncle Qian picked Ye Cheng up by his waist, and this Qian Xingliang also worked outside all year round. , I have stayed outside for a long time, and I know a lot, and I am not as blindly panicked about AIDS as the villagers.

Qian Xingliang had just returned from outside the past two days. It was too crowded to take the train during Chinese New Year, and overtime wages in the factory were high. He didn't come back then. Now that he was free, he took a long vacation to go home to visit relatives.

He happened to have some money in his pocket, and probably heard about Ye Cheng's family, so he didn't go to Ye Cheng's uncle's house, and went directly to the town with his arms in his arms. After traveling on the mountain road for more than an hour, he asked Ye Cheng to come down when he was tired. After walking for a while by myself, it will not take much time to wait for the hospital in the town to register for stitches.

Ye Cheng didn't cry during the stitches, he just frowned and pursed his lips, and only shed a few tears when he was in extreme pain.

When passing through a village on the way back, Qian Xingliang went in with Ye Cheng in his arms. It was almost time to finish eating. Rural people usually eat early, and the young man Qian Xingliang knew happened to be at home. , this time, he was hit right.

"Liu Xiaocui, look at the immoral things your son has done. If I hadn't met him today and sent this child to the hospital, what would have happened! He is so young, he dares to kill someone !" Qian Xingliang's voice was already loud, but this call confused the young man's mother, and with Ye Cheng in his arms, although the wound was stitched up, the blood on his face hadn't been washed off yet. It looks very infiltrating.

"Big money, what's the matter?" Liu Xiaocui asked as she hurriedly sent people to the field to call her man back.

"This afternoon, your bastard went to Ye Cheng's house to steal chickens. What is stealing? It's obviously robbery. Look, he beat up his children like this. The blood was bleeding at that time, if it wasn't for I met him, maybe someone is going to die." Liu Xiaocui's man came back, and many neighbors came to watch, Qian Xingliang calmed down and talked about the whole story.

"This is Ye Cheng, I just heard that the family..." When Liu Xiaocui heard the name Ye Cheng, she immediately remembered the rumors about their family, and the expression on her face changed a little.

"You stupid woman, what can you do at home? Just take care of your son! You make trouble everywhere all day long, and you want to poke a hole in the sky for me!" Qian Xingliang hadn't had time When he made a sound, Liu Xiaocui's man scolded him first. "You son of a bitch, just lie upstairs and pretend to be dead, and get the hell out of here."

The matter was resolved smoothly, and Li Xiaocui's son bit out the other two young men in no time, both from the same village, and after a while, the two boys were also brought here.

The three families together paid Ye Cheng's medical expenses and the money for the two hens, and each gave a shocking red envelope, and Qian Xingliang took Ye Cheng away.After they left, the sound of beating and scolding children came and went in that village, and the children's wailing could still be heard far away.

When they returned to the village, many people had already gathered in the courtyard of Ye Cheng's family, including Ye Cheng's grandmother and uncle's family.

"Cheng, what do you think is wrong, show grandma quickly..."

"What the hell is going on here? Where did the bastard do it? It's the other way around!"

"..."

Uncle Qian told the story again, and also said that he had been to their village just now, and the other party also apologized for losing money.

"Hey, I knew it, it's those little rascals again."

"Last time they stole the duck from the seventeenth wife's family, and they hid on the opposite mountain and roasted it. They almost didn't order the mountain."

"Just pay this little money. If you want me to say, you should pick up a hoe and pick up their pot. How did you teach such a son?"

"..."

These people chattered a lot. The village chief said that he would take a few people to his village again tomorrow, and then everyone dispersed slowly. Cai Jinzhi took a towel and wiped Ye Cheng's face. , Ye Cheng's aunt came over with dinner and two bottles of Wahaha, which was considered a good thing in their village.

Ye Cheng heard from his grandmother that his aunt hid things very tightly, and just these two bottles of Wahaha, Big Fatty and Er Fatty searched the house and couldn't find them.

Ye Cheng's uncle's food was better than Ye Cheng's. Ye Cheng liked the fried cabbage with oil residue very much, but he only ate half of this meal.

"Why are there so many left? Eat, it's all over." Ye Cheng's aunt rarely stayed in this yard for a while today.

"Save it for tomorrow." This is his habit.

"You child..." My aunt wiped her face, helped her grandmother tidy up the yard of Ye Cheng's house, and then went back together.

Huizi huddled in a corner of the yard. It was also injured today. Someone felt it just now, and said that the bones were not broken, and it would be fine in two days.Ye Cheng walked over and touched Huizi's neck, and it made a pitiful whining sound, and stretched out its tongue to lick Ye Cheng's palm.

Ye Cheng didn't know how long he had been squatting in the yard by himself. Today he heard someone say again, why doesn't this child cry?

Why is he crying?

Ye Cheng fell asleep while squatting, and felt a little cold when he woke up, so he went into the room and climbed into bed to continue sleeping.

There was no hen at home, but grandma started bringing food to him again. Ye Cheng didn't feel that life had changed much.What he didn't know was that Qian Xingliang thought about it that night and thought of a way out for Ye Cheng, which was not a way out.Early the next morning, he went to talk to Ye Cheng's grandmother, Cai Jinzhi. Cai Jinzhi didn't agree at the time, but kept the matter in his stomach until two days before Qian Xingliang went out again. I went to him with a leg of pig.

Two days later, Ye Cheng was taken away from the village by Qian Xingliang. Ye Cheng himself didn't want to leave his yard. The loofah in the yard had already bloomed, and after a while, grandma could cook loofah egg soup for him.But grandma asked him to do it with Uncle Qian, saying that he would have no way out in the yard, and he would go out to suffer a bit, and he would be able to support himself when he grew up.

Huizi was fostered at Uncle Qian's house, and Uncle Qian promised him that his wife would take good care of the dog and return it to him when Ye Cheng came back.

After leaving the village, Ye Cheng saw a completely strange world. Apart from being at a loss, he didn't feel much about those strange things. The only thing he had to keep in mind was to follow Qian Xingliang closely.

Riding the train was quite a novel process. Hearing the clanging sound of the train and watching the scenery on both sides receding quickly or slowly, Ye Cheng stared out the window for most of the day.

The house that Qian Xingliang rented was one of the dilapidated old houses. These houses will probably be demolished in the near future. It is natural to rent such a house, and the rent is cheap, and it is relatively large. After work, he also goes outside to pick up some waste products. Those old bottles cost a few cents a dime. He picks up a little bit, which is enough for his son to eat snacks for several days in his hometown.

There are some waste products piled up in the front yard, and there is a hearth next to the house. The house is a one-story bungalow, and the front room is bigger. There are old books and newspapers, and the back is where he sleeps.

Now that Ye Cheng came, he tidied up the front room to sleep by himself, and let Ye Cheng sleep in the back. He brought quilts and other things from home, and built a wooden frame to make a bunk on the top. bed.

He found an old bowl from the pile of rags in the front yard, woke up Ye Cheng early the next morning, took him on a bus, went to the busiest part of the city, and found a tree that could block the sun. The big tree bought him breakfast for him to sit on the curb and eat slowly, saying that he would come to deliver food at noon, and then went back to work.

Ye Cheng was just sitting on the side of the road where cars were passing by. Many people hurried past him, some were carrying bags, some were eating breakfast while walking, and suddenly a person stopped in front of him. , Throwing a dime into the broken bowl.

The sound of the coins falling into the bowl was extremely clear and loud, even though the horns of the cars on the road covered up the sound, it still reached Ye Cheng's ears without any leaks.
