Getting rich in chronology

Seeing that the wound was no longer bleeding, Chen Meili breathed a sigh of relief, but it worked.

Xiaoxi came back a bit late, her eyesight was not very good, and it was dark, so she could only grope and dispose of the bloodstains along the way with the smell of blood and her fingers.

"Are you ready?" Xiaoxi looked at Chen Meili's legs.

"Okay, I'll tie it up with cloth strips, so the bleeding won't stop." Chen Meili asked worriedly, "How's it going outside?"

"The Wang family is looking for you, and many people in the village have come out." Xiaoxi frowned, because her family lived far away from the village, and she couldn't be found here for a while, but Chen Meili couldn't always hide in the her home.

Hearing that someone was still looking for her, Chen Meili's big eyes flashed with fear, and she asked tremblingly, "I, can I stay at your house for a few days? I'll wait for my father to pick me up..."

Her father didn't know how many days it would be until he came here. Xiaoxi's family lived near the mountains, and if they went out, they had to either pass through the village or climb over the mountains. After climbing a few mountains, they could reach another town.

She hurt her leg and sprained her foot, couldn't climb the mountain, and didn't dare to cross the village, so she probably could only hide at Xiaoxi's house and wait for her father to come.

"Okay, just stay at my house and don't go out these few days." Xiaoxi agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, Xiaoxi." Chen Meili was very grateful. At this time, Xiaoxi was willing to take the initiative to give her a hand. She really didn't know how to thank her.

That night, Chen Meili stayed at Xiaoxi's house, and the two little girls shared a bed.

At first, she thought that she would not be able to fall asleep in a strange place, but it was probably because she was too tired, and she fell into a deep sleep not long after lying down.

But Xiaoxi didn't sleep well. It was already late at night when Chen Meili ran away, and after tossing and tossing for half the night, she lay down and fell asleep for a while, and then heard the faint sound of cocks crowing from the village.

Xiaoxi rubbed her eyes, got up, and was about to make some breakfast.

The single bed is not very spacious. Although it is not crowded to sleep two little girls, it is inevitable that the two people's limbs will touch each other during the movement.

When Xiaoxi got up, she accidentally touched Chen Meili's arm. She paused and touched Chen Meili's forehead.

Very hot.

She quickly pushed Chen Meili, and called her anxiously. After a while, Chen Meili opened her eyes in confusion, "Xiaoxi?"

"You have a fever, it's very severe." Xiaoxi said anxiously.

Chen Meili was confused, and it took her a while to realize what Xiaoxi meant. She touched her head, but couldn't feel anything.

"I have some herbs at home. I will cook them for you first. You can drink them and try."

Xiaoxi ran out, found the herbal medicine her grandmother had prescribed by the barefoot doctor in the village when she had a fever, and cooked a bowl of medicine for Chen Meili.

However, I don't know if it was left for a long time or what happened. After drinking the medicine, the fever still persisted.

Xiaoxi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She had seen people in the village who had a persistent fever and then became idiots.

If Chen Meili's fever persists, what should I do?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiaoxi went to take out his only one dollar and put it on, and pushed Chen Meili: "I'll go to the county town to buy you medicine, and you should stay alert at home. If you hear anything, you should hurry up." hide."

Hearing that she was going to the county seat, Chen Meili's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Xiaoxi's hand: "Can you make a call for me?"

She paused and struggled: "I, I have no money, can you... can you lend me some first?"

Xiaoxi lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice, "How much does it cost to make a call?"

Chen Meili thought for a while and said, "About a few cents." It's cheaper not to go out of the provincial capital.

Xiaoxi touched the money in her pocket, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it should be enough.

She asked how to make a phone call, and Chen Meili told her in detail how to call the post office, and reported her father's office phone number to Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi recited it twice, fearing that she would forget, she took charcoal that was about to burn black, and asked Chen Meili to write the number on her arm, and put down the sleeve to cover it.

"Wait." Before Xiaoxi left, Chen Meili stopped her again.

She looked up at Xiaoxi with her reddened face: "I'll write you another call. If...if my dad doesn't get through, you can just call this, okay?"

"it is good."

Chen Meili hesitated for a moment, and gave the number of the milk tea shop. Although Chen Yu also had a phone at home, it would be useless if he was not at home.

There are always people in the milk tea shop during the day, even if Chen Yu doesn't receive a call, when he goes, the clerk will tell him the news of the call.

"There must be someone answering this call, so you give my name and say you are looking for Chen Yu. If the person on the phone tells you that Chen Yu is not there, you should leave a message and ask them to tell Chen Yu that I am in trouble and let me Dad hasten to pick me up."

Xiaoxi wrote down what Chen Meili said, poured her a glass of water and put it at hand, locked the door, carried a basket on her back, pretended to be selling mountain goods, and walked to the county town with her head and face covered.

After entering the village, Xiaoxi heard people talking about the turmoil at the Wang family last night, and people from the Wang family and Luo family wandering around.

The old lady of the Wang family was crying to someone with snot and tears: "Damn Nier, I am her mother-in-law, and I will still harm her. She was taught badly by her father. How can a [-]-year-old be so cruel?" If the eldest girl doesn't talk about kissing her, she will become an old girl after delay, so what can I do in the future."

Luo Cuihua, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, persuaded: "We all know what kind of person you are, mother. The child you love the most is beautiful. That damned girl is disobedient—"

"Who are you talking about dead girl, who are you talking about!" Luo Zhaodi said angrily, "You despise my niece before I'm dead? Let me tell you, Luo Cuihua, if it weren't for the kindness of Teng Wazi, I would despise your boss Luo family."

Luo Cuihua's expression was embarrassing, and she rolled her eyes in her heart.

Didn't you say it first?Now that I'm pretending to be a good person, then Chen Meili may not be able to accept your love.

"Mother, then, now Meili has run away, what shall we do?" Luo Cuihua didn't dare to confront the old lady, and changed the subject stiffly.

Luo Zhaodi sighed: "Teng Wazi said that Meili was injured, so she shouldn't be able to run far, so let's just wait."

As she spoke, she felt uncomfortable again: "What on earth is this Nier thinking? Such a good marriage is not about letting her jump into the fire pit, why won't she listen to persuasion, she will run away if she is injured, and she is not afraid of letting the wolf give her a hand. Take it away..."

Xiaoxi's eyesight is worse than that of ordinary people, but her hearing and sense of smell are very sensitive. After listening to the whole process, she lowered her head and walked out without stopping.

She only cleaned up the blood near her home last night, and it was close to the village any further. There were many people at that time, and it was difficult for her to go there.

"Stop!" At the entrance of the village, there were two men whom they didn't know, and when they saw Xiaoxi, whose head and face were tightly wrapped, there were doubts in their eyes.

A few idlers in the village who watched the excitement recognized Xiaoxi, and hurriedly pulled them back to explain in a low voice.

The two men heard this, and looked at Xiaoxi: "Is this the ghost who is reincarnating?"

"No, look at her face, it's as white as a ghost, her hair is also white, and her eyes are red, it's scary."

Xiaoxi lowered her head a little, the two men hesitated a little, the one who was more courageous walked over, Xiaoxi raised her head, and their eyes met.

The man was startled, his eyes were really red!

"let's go."

Xiaoxi walked away, and heard them cursing: "It's really bad luck."

Xiao Xi seldom goes out, and once in a while, she goes shopping, and she goes to the village or town. She has only been to the county town once, and her grandma took her there when she was very young.

But she didn't dare to go to the town. Luo Tengqi was working at the post office in the town, and if she went there, she would fall into a trap.

Relying on the long-standing clues in her memory, Xiaoxi successfully reached the county seat.

The main reason is that the road from the town to the county seat is the widest and flattest. She walked along that road and reached it.

Although she found the county seat, she didn't know where the hospital was or where the post office was.

Xiaoxi bit her lip, she was very afraid of dealing with strangers, she didn't even know how to speak.

But it's okay not to ask now, Chen Meili is still waiting for her at home.

After wandering around, Xiaoxi found an old lady who looked a bit like her grandmother, and asked her for directions in a low voice.

Fortunately, the grandma she met was very kind. Not only did she show her the way, worrying that she would not find a place, but she also gave her a ride, took her directly to the hospital, and taught her how to buy medicine.

With the help of the old lady, Xiaoxi successfully bought the fever-reducing medicine, but it was a bit expensive. It cost nearly one yuan, and she only had a few cents left.

When she found the post office and asked, she only had enough money to make a phone call.

Xiaoxi had no choice but to call Chen Meili's father first, but the phone was connected. Xiaoxi mustered up the courage to say, find Chen Meili's father.

A man over there said loudly, "Looking for Director Chen? He's not here, he's on a business trip."

Xiaoxi was stunned, Chen Meili's father is not here, what should I do now?

She looked at another phone number written on her arm, and she had no money to call.

Walking out sullenly, Xiaoxi stood at the door of the post office at a loss, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, two girls walked by in front, one of them had short hair and red eye circles, the other persuaded her in a low voice: "Don't be sad, your hair can grow back after you cut it, at least you can sell it for a few dollars." One dollar, not bad."

Xiaoxi was dumbfounded, can hair be sold for money?

She didn't have time to think about it, and hurried to catch up.

After 10 minutes, Xiaoxi found the hair collector.

She blushed, and took off the cloth covering her head and face, and the person who cut the hair was also startled: "You, why your hair is white." Isn't this a little girl?

Xiaoxi lowered her head, and said, "It's just like this when you're born, you said just now, you'll get white hair too."

"Take it." The person who received the hair rolled his eyes and said critically, "Your hair is too white, and everyone else has black hair. You should get it cheaper."

"How much money can be sold?"

The person who received the hair thought about it. If such long hair were black, it would cost at least five yuan, but this one can be suppressed.

"I'll give you fifty cents." He pretended to be generous.

Xiaoxi's lips twitched. The two girls told her just now that the hair they sold was shorter than her own, and they sold it for more than four yuan.

Seeing that Xiaoxi didn't agree, the hair collector was worried that the price would be too low, so she stopped selling it, and quickly said, "One piece, no more."

Xiaoxi touched the place where the phone number was written on her arm, and nodded: "OK."

Anyway... Anyway, she can't bask in the sun, she covers her head and face when she goes out, and it doesn't matter what kind of hair she cuts.

In Xingcheng, Chen Yu taught Zhu Fulai how to make meat floss cakes at the cake shop in the morning. After they got started, they went to Zhang Xiaoshan and his yard for a walk, mainly to watch the dogs.

The puppies have grown up now, and when they saw Chen Yu, they became very affectionate and jumped on him one by one.

Chen Yu played with the dog for a while, saw that the time was almost up, and was ready to go home.

He didn't go back into the store just after being pounced by a dog, but just as he reached the street corner, Wu Siwa chased him up from behind: "Little boss, I had a call just now and said I was looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Chen Yu followed him back, "Who is it?"

"I don't know, it's a woman, and the voice sounds very young."

On the other side, Xiaoxi was nervous while holding the microphone. She said she was looking for Chen Yu, but there was a woman over there saying something, but the little boss was not there.

Then another person said that when he saw him pass by the door just now, the person who answered the phone asked her to wait a while to call someone for her.

Xiao Xi didn't know who Chen Yu was, but Chen Mei asked him to call him, he must be a very trusted person.

She waited for a while, and a nice male voice came from the phone: "Hi, I'm Chen Yu, who are you and what can I do for you?"

"I'm Xiaoxi...no, it's...it's Chen Meili, she asked me to call Chen Yu..."

"Beautiful?" A bad feeling rose in Chen Yu's heart, and he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Beauty? Did something happen to her?"

Xiaoxi was taken aback by the question, because Chen Meili had a lot going on.

She remembered what Chen Meili told her to stay, so she said: "She is in trouble, I want you to find her father, come and pick her up quickly."

Chen Yu became more anxious: "Where is she now? Is she safe? What happened?"

"She is hiding in my house, she should be safe, but she has a fever. I, I gave her medicine, but it didn't work. I just bought anti-fever medicine, and I haven't had time to drink it for her. Her leg was injured, and she was injured when she ran away. , she asked me to call you, call her father, her father is not here..."

Xiao Xi speaks incoherently, she really seldom communicates with people, especially men, and now her heart is beating so fast that she can't breathe.

Chen Yu's heart rate also increased, not only his heart rate increased, but his anger also increased.

"Run away? Why did she run away? Was it badly hurt?"

"There is a man who bullies her. The Wang family... is her mother-in-law's family. If she wants to marry that man, she won't—"

"Why is there no sound?" Xiao Xi asked the post office staff while holding up the microphone.

"The time is up, and your words will run out."

Although the first call only cost a few cents, the time was short. After the call was connected, I waited for a while to call someone, but Xiaoxi ran out of money.

She really couldn't help it, but Chen Yu had already told Chen Yu about Chen Meili's situation, so he should go to Chen Meili's father.

Missing Chen Meili who was still having a fever, Xiaoxi didn't stay long, and rushed home with a basket on her back.

After she walked out of the post office, a man in post office overalls looked at her back and asked the staff inside, "The girl who called just now? Where did you call?"

"The provincial capital."

The man shook his head. The name Chen Meili sounded familiar.

"Hello? Hello!" Chen Yu put down the receiver, his face was ugly.

The clerk looked at him worriedly: "Little boss, what's the matter? Is something wrong with Meili?"

Chen Meili often came to look for Chen Yu, and these shop assistants were quite familiar with her.

Chen Yu's heart was hanging high, he was bullied by a man, could it be that he thought so?

No, no, she is at her grandmother's house...

Fuck it, force her to marry a hooligan, what kind of family is that!

Chen Yu didn't dare to take chances again, he kept comforting himself in his heart, he was still alive, there was still hope for everything.

With trembling fingers, he called Shen Qiao. He had to contact Chen Meili's father, but he didn't know the phone number of Chen Zehai's office.

"Little fish?"

"Shen Qiao, ask Deng Xuehai and the others if they know the phone number of Chen Meili's father's office, or the phone number of Director Shao." Director Shao must have Chen Zehai's phone number.

"Okay, don't worry." Sensing that his tone was wrong, Shen Qiao comforted him.

After 3 minutes, Chen Yu hung up the phone.

The people in the garment factory said that their factory manager had gone on a business trip and would not be back until two days later.

Now I don't know whether Chen Zehai is on the road or where, and I can't contact him at all.

With a pale face, Chen Yu tried hard to think of countermeasures.

I don't know what's going on with Chen Meili. The girl who called said that Chen Meili was hiding at her house.Since she was hiding, the situation should not be good, and she couldn't afford to wait.

He was going to save her, bring her back, he couldn't leave her there.

Came here today, because people would watch the car parked outside, Shen Yu didn't drive, Da Lan let Shen Qiao drive away, he went to see the newly arrived materials today.

But after making the phone call just now, Shen Qiao was already rushing over here.

Chen Yu thought for a while, and brought two dogs over. Song Hailin, who trained the dogs, had boasted to him about the abilities of these dogs, including finding people.

He was not familiar with the situation in the country, and he didn't know where the girl on the phone lived. In case of any accident, he had to rely on the dogs for help.

He didn't know where Chen Meili's grandma's house was, and he had to go to her house to ask her grandma in a while, and asked for two things from Chen Meili.

Shen Qiao came very quickly, he already knew that something happened to Chen Meili, and he also knew how much Chen Yu cared about this friend.

There were also two guards, Xiao Wang and Xiao Li, who were just assigned to him in the car, Shen Qiao said without hesitation: "Their identities are very useful, and they are very useful."

Chen Yu nodded, frowning, he was too worried now.

Racing all the way to the affiliated courtyard of the clothing factory, this review cannot be avoided, Chen Yu asked all the way to the Chen family.

Chen Meili's grandparents were at home. After hearing Chen Yu's words, the two old people almost fainted. Grandma Chen cried and scolded that the Wang family was nothing and bullied her granddaughter.

At any rate, Mr. Chen was more sensible, and quickly reported the specific address of the Wang family to Chen Yu, and urged Grandma Chen to get Chen Meili's things.

Chen Meili was not at home, and her dirty clothes had already been washed. Grandma Chen wandered around and brought her pillow towel and a blanket she had just covered before she left for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu told them to contact Chen Meili's father earlier, and then hurried downstairs.

Unfortunately, the transportation is not as developed as in later generations. There is only one train a day from the provincial capital to the city where the Wang family lives.

Chen Yu can't wait, he did some research and found that this city is right next to the chicken farm.

He went to Boss Zhang's nearest place, and used his public phone to call Director Lei.

"Going to Pingchang City? It's a little closer to drive. Let me tell you, you're from..." Director Lei and his factory ran around a lot in order to expand their business. The road was very familiar, and they immediately reported the route to Chen Yu.

It takes five or six hours to go to Pingchang City by train, and it takes only four hours to drive there. According to the route given by the factory manager Lei, it only takes four hours, but some roads are not easy to walk. .

Don't be afraid of bad roads, Da Lan can run on any road.

Car bandits and road tyrants are not afraid either, they have soldiers in their car and two vicious dogs.

When Chen Yu left, he was worried that he might need money, so he went to a few shops and took away most of the money, but he didn't know the exact amount, but there was one or two thousand.

With the money, Shen Qiao also asked for a few barrels of oil from the Human Research Institute to keep in the car. After calling and asking for directions, he drove away immediately and went straight to his destination.

On the other side, Xiaoxi took the antipyretics and returned home safely.

Chen Meili was dizzy from the fever, but thinking that Xiaoxi was not there, she was afraid, and whenever she felt sleepy, she would pinch her leg, which was covered with marks on her thigh, and barely fell asleep.

As soon as Xiaoxi came back, Chen Meili immediately asked her if she had called and how the situation was.

Xiaoxi told the truth, when she heard that her father was on a business trip, Chen Meili finally understood why her father sent a telegram saying that she would be two days late.

Hearing that Chen Yu had already received a call, Chen Meili immediately lifted her spirits, and felt at ease inexplicably.

"He will definitely help me and won't leave me alone." Chen Meili said with certainty after drinking the medicine, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Xiaoxi was silent for a moment, then said softly: "He is very worried about you."

It could be heard that Chen Yu cared about Chen Meili very much.

In the town, Guo Qiang, who had just returned from picking up letters from the county post office, saw his colleague Luo Teng sitting aside with an ugly face, and asked curiously, "Teng Qi, aren't you getting married today? I also said to put the things down and go Why are you still here for a wedding at your house?"

Luo Teng kept a dark face and said nothing, a colleague next to him pulled Guo Qiang aside: "Don't recruit him, his wife has run away."

"Run away again?" Guo Qiang asked in shock.

If he remembered correctly, Luo Teng ran over to his fiancée a few days ago, and Luo Teng ran to the police station to bring her back.

"No, I said Lao Luo, your conditions are not bad, what kind of girl can't marry, this is not rare for you, you can change it." Guo Qiang couldn't understand, this kind of restless woman, married What are you doing.

It was the same colleague just now, who whispered, "What do you know, that girl's father is the factory director in the provincial capital."

provincial capital?

A flash of light flashed in Guo Qiang's mind, and he said, I seem to have heard of the name Chen Meili somewhere!

"Lao Luo, is your fiancée called Chen Meili?"

Luo Tengqi stood up abruptly: "How do you know? Did you see her? Where is she?"

"I didn't see her, but I went to the county this morning to get the letter, and I heard someone call and mentioned her." Guo Qiang told Luo Tengqi what he had heard before.

Luo Teng's eyes lit up: "You mean, the caller was a woman, and she said that Chen Meili was at her house?"

"Yes."

"What's that girl's name? What does she look like?"

Guo Qiang scratched his head. He was on his way to work, and he didn't deliberately eavesdrop on someone's phone call. He just listened to the name Chen Meili because he felt familiar.

"I don't know what that girl's name is. What does she look like... She wrapped her hair and face with a piece of cloth, and lowered her head, so she couldn't see clearly, but her voice sounded very young..."

"Thank you, Lao Guo, I'll treat you to a drink later."

Luo Teng licked his teeth and sneered.

It doesn't matter if you don't see the face clearly, the village is so big, and someone from his family is guarding the entrance of the village. If any young girl left the village today, just ask.
