blazing fire

The original family had a commotion all morning, and the village was so big, it didn't take long to know everything that should be known, and there were even several versions of the rumors.Cheng Zhuo fell asleep until the sun was high, and was lying there in a daze, when he heard the noise outside the window, a group of people came and went, chatting in dialect while walking.

It was very noisy, and Cheng Zhuo was a little annoyed, but he soon heard words like "Yuan Er Er" and "Xiao Yu".

Original... rain?

Cheng Zhuo turned his head and saw that the literacy books and the repeater were placed on the table in good order. The original siblings had not been here today.

Today seems to be Monday, so it stands to reason that Yuan Yu should go to school.

He stood at the window listening to the movement, and looked in the direction of Yuan Yu's house.A lot of people gathered on the side of the dirt road, and those who probed their brains didn't know what was going on, but depending on the location...it was the area in front of Yuan Yu's house.

Yuan Yun seemed to have said yesterday that the man's family is coming today?

problem occurs?

Cheng Zhuo frowned, changed his clothes, and went downstairs slowly.

Grandma prepared lunch and put it on the table downstairs, but she didn't sit down, but stood at the door of the house, looking in the direction of Yuan's house.

"Grandma," Cheng Zhuo called out to her, "what's going on outside?"

"Propose marriage, let's start a fight." Grandma said briefly, "Are you getting up? Come to eat."

"Ah."

Cheng Zhuo responded, but didn't sit down, but squeezed past grandma.

He planned to visit Yuan's house, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, a little boy emerged from the room next to the kitchen, and ran up to pull the hem of his clothes.

Cheng Zhuo turned his head and saw a completely unfamiliar face: "What do you want?"

The child didn't speak, and handed over a note.As soon as Cheng Zhuo received it, the child flew away.

Spread it out and see that there are only four words on it: secret base.

Yuan Yu's handwriting is easy to read, neat and neat, with a kind of indescribable elegance, Cheng Zhuo saw it once when he was at the police station, and remembered it later.Although these four words are a bit crooked, it is clearly written by Yuan Yu.

He pursed his lower lip, put the note into his pocket, went upstairs to get the reader and the repeater, and went out.

"I have something to go out for a while, and I'll eat when I come back." He left the door without saying a word, regardless of whether grandma called him behind him.

The secret base is actually not that close to their home. As Cheng Zhuo walked, he always had an ominous premonition, and his legs subconsciously started to run.

He didn't know what he was doing, he even challenged Yuan Yu yesterday to see if he would come to pick up the repeater today.

"Yuan Yu? Yuan Yu!"

Cheng Zhuo rushed into the field ridge while shouting, followed by a pause.

Yuan Yu sat on the ridge with his knees hugged in a daze, and when he heard the movement, he looked over.Cheng Zhuo noticed that his lips were a little white, and the part of his lower lip near the middle was badly bitten, and the red part was full of wounds.

"What's the matter, what happened?" Cheng Zhuo asked directly, "Where's your sister?"

Yuan Yu got up from the ground, brushed the dust off his pants, greeted him, and then walked deep into the field.He found Yuanyun behind a tall straw clump, and let Cheng Zhuo see it by himself: "I can't speak from crying."

Yuan Yun squatted on the ground and whimpered softly, almost "out of breath". Beside her was a bulging backpack and a pile of tissues all over the floor.

Cheng Zhuo saw the package in her hand, which seemed to be the paper he bought for Yuan Yu that day.

"..." It's not finished yet.

There was a stack of books on the ground, Yuan Yu picked them up, and said: "I made it clear in the morning that the man left in a rage. My father...but my father still didn't let go, and now he came to find the man in person. He said that we must settle the marriage today. While Father is not at home right now, I want to send Sister away quickly. But neither of us... have bought a ticket, so I may ask you to lead the way. "

"Okay." Cheng Zhuo nodded, "This book?"

"I don't have any other bag at home to pack my sister's luggage. I took my schoolbag to her first. This is my textbook." Yuan Yu handed it to him. ?”

"Yes." Cheng Zhuo took out the things from the environmental protection bag he brought, "Your sister hasn't finished reading the words, let her put this in it, and let her read it by herself later. Shall we go to the station now?"

"it is good."

Yuan Yu's books were put into the recycle bag, and the reader and repeater were stuffed into the big backpack by Yuan Yu.Cheng Zhuo saw the clothes protruding from the gap, in fact, such a backpack can't hold a few clothes.

He rubbed his forehead, feeling a little headache: "Are these few clothes enough? Why don't you take my suitcase?"

Yuan Yun was crying and hiccupping, unable to speak, only shaking his head desperately.

Yuan Yu also said: "No need, how can I use you for everything? My sister said that this is enough."

"Then do you have any money?" Cheng Zhuo asked Yuan Yun.

"A little bit." It was Yuan Yu who answered, "Auntie's personal savings and my remaining pocket money are all taken, but... it's only more than 300 yuan."

There is a lot of money in the village, but it is not enough to travel far.

Cheng Zhuo scratched his head, worrying about money for the first time in his life.

"I still have some pocket money, I'll give it to you too." Cheng Zhuo said, "I'll go home first, put this book down, and get some money by the way, and then you two can find a place to wait for me?"

"Just the bus station." Yuan Yu paused, "Last time... let's talk about that."

The last time they spoke was not the station closest to home, there was still a short distance between the two stations.This way Cheng Zhuo used to be quite troublesome, but he guessed that the original siblings couldn't get near home now, and there was nothing he could do about it.

There were too many idlers onlookers, and Cheng Zhuo didn't realize that the village had a large population when nothing happened.

"That's fine, I'll go home first, you go over there, we'll meet up later." Cheng Zhuo said, "If there's a situation, find a place to call me."

Cheng Zhuo gave Yuan Yu a copy of the mobile phone number, although he never dialed it.

Yuan Yu nodded.

The three soldiers divided into two groups.Cheng Zhuo ran home, threw Yuan Yu's book upstairs, grabbed the money from the drawer, and ran out again.

"Grandma, eat first! Don't wait for me!"

He ran to the 308 bus stop and found that there were many more people here than usual.The crowd of onlookers crowded the dirt road too much, and the acquaintances who wanted to chat and gossip walked a little farther in twos and threes, and some of them came here.

Knowing that these people were talking about Yuan Yun, but he couldn't understand a word, Cheng Zhuo became irritable for no reason.Biansheng had bad luck today, he waited and waited until 308 didn't come, so Cheng Zhuo ran away angrily.

He ran to the next stop in one breath, and found the Yuan family siblings who were hiding there.

"Take my sister, I won't go." Yuan Yu looked at Cheng Zhuo who was running pale and said, "At home... there is still work to do, I will go back and finish the work now. Dad may not be so angry when he comes back."

Cheng Zhuo didn't quite understand the brain circuit of working after the sky fell, panting and asked, "Aren't you going to see your sister off? I won't see you for a long time."

"Forget it." Yuan Yu glanced at Yuan Yun, laughed, and changed his words in dialect, "Sister, you have to be good in the future."

"Big Brother..." Yuan Yun was about to burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Don't cry, everything will be good in the future." Yuan Yu saw the car coming, "Let's go."

The terminus of Route 308 is Yanghuai Railway Station. Cheng Zhuo bought two tickets, carried her backpack on the bus for her, and chose a seat for two people in the back row.

Yuan Yun didn't say a word along the way, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.Cheng Zhuo didn't know her very well, so he didn't speak.

When the car arrived at the terminal, Cheng Zhuo stood up and led the way.

Yanghuai Railway Station has just been built for a few years, and everything is still very new.Although it is Cheng Zhuo's first time here, the entrance of the ticket office is always at a similar location, and those who are familiar with the railway station can easily find it.

When buying the ticket, Cheng Zhuo asked her: "Where do you want to go?"

"It's fine." Yuan Yun said, "Actually, I don't know..."

Cheng Zhuo looked up. Recently, there was a train going to a certain county-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng.

"How about going there?" Cheng Zhuo pointed to her, "I'm from Jiangcheng, and I only know a little about the surrounding areas of Jiangcheng. There is no bus to Jiangcheng today, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to Jiangcheng. I know that city. Many factories in Jiangcheng have been transferred, maybe you can find a job more easily."

"Okay." Yuan Yun nodded, "Thank you."

Cheng Zhuo smiled: "It's not a big deal, no need to thank you."

He took Yuan Yun's ID card, went to the window to buy a ticket, and then sent her to the entrance of the station.

Cheng Zhuo can only send it here at most, he stopped: "You have to go through the security check yourself."

Yuan Yun nodded.

"Did you copy my mobile phone number? If you don't understand anything, you can call me later." Cheng Zhuo said, "Although I can't help you much, I may know a little more about the outside world."

Yuan Yun nodded again.

Having nothing to say, Cheng Zhuo was about to say goodbye to her.

"Wait! There is something—" Yuan Yun bit his lower lip.Her eyes were still red and swollen, and after saying this, she looked like she was about to cry again.

Cheng Zhuo couldn't stand the girls crying, so he hurriedly said, "Talk slowly."

"I want to ask you for help...Look at brother." Yuan Yun spoke slowly and with difficulty, as if he was trying to hold back his tears, "He was beaten by my father a lot, he has never been beaten so hard, I A little worried...but he won't let me see..."

Cheng Zhuo: "..."

It turned out that Yuan Yu's lips were pale and her voice was weak, because... she was injured?

Cheng Zhuo was often whipped by his father with a clothes hanger, and even went to the hospital to lie down when it was serious. He didn't think about it just now, but when Yuan Yun said it, he understood what was going on.

Yuan Yun pleaded: "I know it's a bit troublesome, but please..."

"Understood, I will take him to the hospital for examination, don't worry." Cheng Zhuo thought for a while, took out a handful of red notes from his pocket, put them in Yuan Yun's pocket, "Oh yes, You take the money."

"I can not--"

"It's not much money for me, it's just pocket money, and I can ask my dad for it after spending it." Cheng Zhuo said, "It's life-saving money for you, so you can take it. Besides, I also saved some money for myself. Woolen cloth."

Yuan Yun really couldn't think of an excuse, so he had no choice but to enter the security checkpoint with gratitude.

Cheng Zhuo watched her until she was out of sight, and then walked slowly towards the bus stop.

Just one day later, some kind of balance is broken, but nothing seems to have changed.

At least as far as Cheng Zhuo is concerned, he is actually short of money.

but……

And Yuan Yu...

Cheng Zhuo was a little annoyed.He put his hands in his pockets, touched the phone with his fingertips, thought about it, took it out and called his dad.

Now he wants to find someone to quarrel with to vent that unspeakable anger.

It's a pity that Cheng Guangzong didn't give him this chance.He didn't know what he was doing. The secretary answered the phone: "Uh...Master? What can you do?"

Cheng Zhuo frowned. He didn't know the secretary very well, but he just knew him, so he didn't want to show his face too much: "Tell my father that I have no money, and ask him to come over."

"Ok."

Cheng Zhuo hung up the phone and got on the 308 where he was going back to the village.

Before the car arrived at the station, the call came back. It was the secretary who called: "Uh, master, Mr. Cheng said that you spend too much money, and he will not send you the money until at least a week later."

"..." Cheng Zhuo laughed, "Isn't that what he said?"

The secretary was silent, thinking that I can't repeat the original words to you again, after careful consideration, he added: "Cheng Dong got very angry..."

"Understood, just a week." Cheng Zhuo didn't make things difficult for him, and hung up the phone.

His purpose was not to ask for money, he just wanted to find someone to quarrel with, and it was not his style to embarrass his father's wage earners.

When the bus arrived at the station, many idlers nearby had dispersed, Cheng Zhuo walked home along the dirt road, and saw people gathered near Yuan Yu's house.

The crowd was restless, swarming at the door of Yuan's house, shouting: "Beat me, beat me!"

"Don't hit! Kill another person!"

……

Cheng Zhuo frowned, and wanted to squeeze in to have a look, but the gang of idlers and idlers in the village were really "a lot of people", so he couldn't find a gap to squeeze in.

Those people were chattering about what happened today, and some people were loudly persuading them, interspersed with the woman's hysterical yelling.

Cheng Zhuo didn't understand a word, he looked around for a while, his ears were buzzing, and finally there was only one word that the woman shouted.

"run!!!"

"Dizzy faint, save people—"

The crowd rushed in, and someone came home and drove an electric tricycle. Not long after, Cheng Zhuo saw a thin middle-aged man with his eyes closed and his brow furrowed. He was carried out of his home and put in the car. superior.The crowd swarmed towards the town.

Cheng Zhuo saw Yuan Yu's mother in the crowd, but he didn't see Yuan Yu.

Soon, there were no idlers left on the dirt road, and the door of the original house was open, but there was no one.Cheng Zhuo was stunned, walked to the door, and tried to shout: "Yuan Yu?"

No one answered.

And he was sure he didn't see Yuan Yu in the crowd just now.

Cheng Zhuo took a deep breath, feeling that the irritability could not be suppressed.

He squeezed the phone tightly, turned and ran.
