his dragon [farming]

31 The Long Night

When the car arrived at Liangshi Town, it was almost dusk.The setting sun shines on the Baiquan River flowing by the town, as if the river is full of gold, and it is as quiet and beautiful as usual.However, the faint crying and scolding of a woman came from the wind, which indicated that the evening was not peaceful.

The truck passed the small stone bridge with a bang, turned up a slope, and it was Shi Laoliu's supermarket. Shi Laoliu stopped the car at the door, shouted Jinhua, and ran into the house, turned around, saw nothing. There was no one, and he rushed out and ran into the town again.

Bai Chuan, on the other hand, opened the door and ran into the town as soon as he parked the car, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.Qiu He followed behind for a while, almost out of breath, so he had to walk along the road and watch.There was no one in the house by the road, no one knew where they had gone, but the crying and cursing gradually approached.After turning a corner, various voices rushed to my face.In the deepening twilight, almost everyone in the town gathered in the open space in front of Liu Ji's barber shop.

These old men and women, every time they see Qiuhe, they always have smiles on their faces, and they always give him something to eat, or pine nuts, or newly ripened fruits at home.But now, in the gradually blurred night, their faces were full of anger, sorrow and helplessness.There were a few grandpas sitting on the ground with skin on their heads and hands, and Empress Hua with her disheveled hair, and some mothers-in-law were stopping the bleeding for them.While caring for the injured, the women cried and cursed the beating animals.Doctor Qi in the town was wearing a dirty white coat, walking around to check and bandage the injured.

Qiu He looked more and more flustered, glanced left and right, but didn't see Shen Baocheng, and his heart suddenly became a ball.Seeing Hua Niangniang walking to the side with a basin of water, Kong'er hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "Where is my grandfather?"

"Are you back? Why didn't Sixth Shi come over?" Hua Niangniang poured water from the basin, and pointed Qiuhe to a tree next to the house.From afar, Qiuhe saw a mat on the ground. Grandpa and Grandpa Liu from the barber shop were laid flat on the mat, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.Bai Chuan squatted beside him, cleaning old man Liu's wound with a cotton swab.

"Grandpa!" Qiu He flung his legs to the side of Shen Baocheng, and saw the old man's gray stubble was bloody, and was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, and just shouted wildly: "Grandpa! What are you doing?" Are you talking about Grandpa, where did you get hurt..."

Shen Baocheng closed his eyes, but when he heard the voice, he barely opened his blood-smeared eyes, and saw Qiu He kneeling in front of him with tears in his eyes.Shen Baocheng quickly opened his mouth and said, "He, grandpa can't die, it's fine."

When Qiuhe heard him speak, she came to her senses. Seeing that the old grandfather's voice was hoarse and weak, his face was sallow, and the tears rolled down his face. He sobbed and said, "Grandpa, hold on, we'll send you to the hospital right away!"

Just as he was talking, the old man Liu who was lying next to him shivered slightly, "Qiuhe!"

Qiu He rushed to his grandfather Liu in a hurry. The condition of the old man Liu was not much better. There was a cut on his head, and the bleeding had just stopped. There was only a trace of gas in his nose, and he seemed to be dying.

"Grandpa Liu," Qiu He looked at the situation and thought that the old man Liu wanted to ask him to explain his will, and he felt panicked, with tears streaming down his face, and asked, "What do you want to say, I'm listening."

Old man Liu, who was about to die at any time, looked at the top of Qiu He's head, as if he was looking at a prodigal son, sighed old-fashionedly, and said quietly, "You didn't ask me to shave your head..."

Qiu He: ...

As long as you don't be so intimidating, I'm willing to let me cover the pot for the rest of my life!

Seeing that the old man is so enterprising, he probably won't die for a while.Qiuhe relaxed somewhat, calmed down, wiped his eyes dry, went to the front room to bring a basin of hot water, and wiped the blood on the faces of the two half-dead old men.

While in a hurry, Dr. Qi came over with Shi Laoliu, pointed to the two wounded on the ground and said, "The others have skin injuries. These two old men have broken bones, so they must be sent to the county hospital. I will call It’s [-], we’re too far away, the ambulance won’t be here for a while, so you drive there!”

"Okay!" Shi Laoliu looked at the situation on the ground, turned his head and walked out, and said, "I'll unload the cargo first, and then lay two layers of mattresses in the carriage. Come here right away."

"I'll go too!" Bai Chuan stood up and walked with Shi Laoliu.Dr. Qi turned to look at Qiu He, and asked, "Do you have any money at home? Bring as much as you have! You have to bring your passbook too."

Qiuhe agreed and stood up to leave. Old man Shen hurriedly stopped him and said cautiously: "The passbook is hidden in the pair of rubber shoes next to the bed. There is cash in the cabinet in the middle of the main room."

Qiu He rushed home all the way, using up half of his life's explosive power.When he arrived at the door of the house panting wildly, the scene in front of him shocked him again.The gate of the small courtyard of the Shen family was opened, and the inside was in a mess. Several bamboo chairs and small tables in the courtyard were smashed to pieces, the kitchen floor was full of broken dishes, and the washing machine was on the ground, covered with pits from iron bars. The main room was even more chaotic, the entire door of the newly bought refrigerator fell off, and my laptop was smashed to the ground.

Qiu He didn't care to look carefully, and went straight to her bedroom to get the money.When Shen Lin came, she thought that it would be inconvenient to withdraw money from Liangshi Town. At that time, she gave him 1 yuan in cash, but Qiuhe basically didn't move.Fortunately those people came in just to cause damage, and the money hidden in a pile of books is still there.Qiu He found her backpack from the ground, stuffed it in, ran to the grandfather's room, found the passbook that was marinated by foot odor, turned and ran out.

By the time we got to town, it was already dark.The pickup truck was parked next to Liu Ji's barber shop, and at some point another police car arrived.In the chaotic crowd, the police officer Wang who had been to his house last time was also among them, holding a notebook and asking questions one by one.

Shen Baocheng was lying on a door panel, and a group of people were noisily carrying him onto the car.After putting the two wounded in, Bai Chuan took off his shoes and climbed into the cargo compartment. Qiu He saw it and quickly followed him.As soon as the two sat firmly, the pickup truck drove away.

An electric light was placed in the carriage, and the dim light flickered amidst the bumps.Shen Baocheng lay in a dazed state without saying a word; old man Liu was irritable, at first he was impatient with the pain, and would curse at his mother from time to time, but then he shut up to save his energy.Qiuhe was terribly worried, and often leaned over to confirm that they were still breathing, and then she relaxed a little, crawled back and sat by the carriage.

Bai Chuan leaned against him, sat for a while, gently held Qiu He's hand, and said, "Don't panic, nothing will happen."

In the dimly lit carriage, although this guarantee was illogical, Qiu He settled down miraculously.

He thought, yes, Bai Chuan is not someone else, he never tells lies, if he always says it's fine, then it will be fine!

When the car arrived at the county hospital, as soon as it stopped, a doctor pushed a stretcher and took him to the emergency room.A group of people followed to the door of the emergency room and were blocked outside.

Not only Shi Laoliu came, but also Dr. Qi.No one outside the emergency room spoke, they all sat silently on the bench.The atmosphere is very heavy.

Not long after, a person who looked like a nurse came over and said, "Who is the family member? Come and go through the formalities!"

Qiu He hurriedly picked up his backpack and went out, and Dr. Qi followed. He was more familiar with the county hospital than Qiu He, and the two ran to go through the formalities and pay the fees.Bai Chuan and Shi Laoliu stayed beside the two elderly people, pushing them to do various checks, and they were also very busy.

By the time the four reunited in front of the operating room, it was already midnight.Dim lights people, everyone tired.

Although Qiuhe was worried about her grandfather's condition, she also thought that everyone was so busy that they hadn't had dinner yet.The operation would not be finished for a while, so he took everyone to a small restaurant next to the hospital, had a quick meal, and then opened a room in a small hotel nearby, letting Sixth Uncle Shi and Doctor Qi go to rest first. He Bai Chuan was young and full of energy, so he stayed overnight in the hospital first.

Shi Laoliu thought that the hospitalization would not take a day and a half, so he didn't refuse much. He just told Qiuhe to call him in time if there was any situation, and then left with Dr. Qi first.

Qiu He and Bai Chuan returned to the operating room and sat down on the bench.The hallway was silent at night.The two sat for a long time before Qiu He said, "Are those people the same as those who came before?"

Bai Chuan didn't answer immediately, and after a while, he said: "During this time, people under Liu Hongming have been calling me, saying that they want to renegotiate the purchase of the land, and that they can raise the price. Ignore him."

Qiu He was stunned for a while, then remembered that the person who wanted to forcefully buy the Baichuan forest land was named Liu.

"He's still pestering you?" He looked at Bai Chuan in surprise.Bai Chuan nodded and sighed lightly.

Since land has become a rare resource, more and more people covet this mountain forest.In the early years, those people tried and threatened several times, but they naturally retreated when they saw that it was useless.Now that the surrounding mountains and forests are gradually sold out, only a few thousand acres of woodland, which is becoming more and more precious, is left in the hands of a helpless child, and these people are inevitably becoming more and more rampant.

"Those bastards are really maggots!" Thinking of the indiscriminate disaster that grandpa suffered, Qiu He's eyes turned red, "Call the police! I don't believe this matter is left alone!"

Bai Chuan narrowed his eyes, and a strange color flashed in his eyes covered by thick eyelashes.He looked at the red light on the door of the operating room, and said calmly, "Don't worry about it."

"Then what are you going to do in the future?" Qiu He looked at him, and became even more angry as he spoke: "Can't you see it? These people not only want to take your forest for themselves, they also want to take Liang Everyone in Shizhen is kicked out! Why? This is our home and our house! Why should we swallow our anger and let them do whatever they want?"

Bai Chuan looked at Qiu He, who was staring at him with raised eyebrows, he hesitated to speak.

Qiuhe was angry alone for a while, then looked back at Bai Chuan, and said solemnly: "Don't be afraid! You are not alone. You have grandpa, Uncle Shi Liu, and us. I don't believe it! There are so many of us together. , there will be nothing to do with those people!"

Bai Chuan silently looked ahead for a while, then held Qiu He's hand.Said: "I have never been afraid of those people. With you here, I will not be afraid anymore. I just thought, this kind of waiting to die will never happen again!"

When he said this, a blade-like coldness flashed in his eyes.Qiu He didn't see it, but murmured: "Yes, it will never happen again."

In the lonely and long dark night, they held each other's hands and sat in the corridor, waiting for the old people in the operating room, waiting for the possible arrival of swords and swords, and waiting for the fate of ulterior motives. Heavy, but fearless.

At three o'clock in the morning, Shen Baocheng and old man Liu were pushed out of the operating room one after another.Old man Shen suffered a comminuted fracture of his left leg and a broken sternum.Old man Liu broke an arm and was hit on the head with a stick, but fortunately his skull was not injured.As for the minor injuries all over his body, there were countless.

Qiu He and Bai Chuan ran back and forth, and put the two of them into the ward. When the two old men came out, the anesthetic hadn't worn off, and they fell asleep drowsily.

With the children in front of him, Shen Baocheng was too embarrassed to hum, he gritted his teeth and endured so that his veins burst out.Old man Liu didn't have so many scruples, he groaned in pain, scolded his mother, and kept saying that when his injury healed, he would risk his life and go to settle accounts with those bastards who were struck by lightning.

Seeing this, Qiuhe felt distressed, but there was nothing he could do.It's no use calling the doctor, it hurts when it should hurt.When the hospital cafeteria opened, Qiu He washed the hands and faces of the two old men, and Bai Chuan ran to order some meals.This diverted the attention of the wounded.Although old man Liu was cursing and swearing in pain, he didn't delay his meal, and Qiuhe was beside him talking, which made it much better than it was at the beginning.

While eating breakfast, Shi Laoliu and Dr. Qi came over.Doctor Qi had to rush to work in the town, looked at the two of them, gave some advice and left.Shi Laoliu drove Qiuhe and Baichuan out as soon as he arrived, and asked them to go back to the hotel to rest and come back to change shifts at night.

Qiu He originally wanted to stay longer and ask the doctor about the situation in detail when the doctor came. Shen Baocheng felt sorry for him and kept urging him all night, so he had to leave with Bai Chuan.

As soon as he got out of the hospital gate, the spirit that supported Qiu He all night was gone, and he stumbled in a dizzy way if he didn't pay attention. Fortunately, Bai Chuan helped him to keep him from falling down.

Bai Chuan led him to the hotel. Qiuhe's cell phone rang on the way. As soon as he answered the phone, Shen Lin's voice came over aggressively: "Shen Qiuhe! What are you doing? You are getting too much! How many times did you hit you yesterday?" Why didn't you answer the phone?"

After hearing the voice, Qiuhe rushed over exhausted, and choked up when he called out to his mother. After a while, he suppressed his tears and said, "You arrange the company's affairs, and come back to see Look, grandpa was injured!"
