Chapter 163: Lend a Hand
I didn't expect that the captain and the militia captain would come with us.
"Hurry, help and get the old lady to the ox cart. I'm afraid she's dying."
After hearing this, the few people didn't waste any time and walked quickly inside. When they saw the person lying on the ground, they were immediately shocked.
But we can't just watch people die. We have to save them if possible. Several people helped put the old lady on the ox cart.
When we got over, the ox cart was already padded with thick straw, so it wouldn't be too uncomfortable for people to lie on it.
"What a sin! When this old lady was young, she never thought about her old age. Now she really is!"
Alas~ The captain sighed heavily.
As the team leader, he was definitely not available, so he was accompanied to the town by the village party secretary and the women's director Liu Xie'e.
He looked at the ox cart going away with complicated expressions in his eyes. He got a headache when he thought about having to do ideological work on Zhang Fengxia later.
When I turned around, I saw Gu Wan still standing there with a smile on her face:
"Gu Zhiqing, why are you here?"
"I have a hedgehog at home and I want to keep it for fun, but I don't know what to feed it, so I thought of asking Auntie."
Lin Jianguo looked at Gu Wan speechlessly. These days, people are so tired and can't even eat well, yet they still have the mind to feed a beast.
It's just that I didn't do enough work. Thinking of this, I said:
"It's time to go to work tomorrow, don't forget it!"
"I know, don't worry, Captain!"
Lin Jianguo nodded. Although these educated youth were not good at work, they would definitely have no problem writing a few words. He had nothing to worry about.
"Okay, close the door, I'm leaving now."
Gu Wan nodded and prepared to leave. The owner of the house had left, and it would not be appropriate for her to stand here any longer.
Thinking about the purpose of today, it seems that I still have to go to the creek that Liu Qingcheng took me to last time.
If there are many children in the place, you can just catch some small shrimps or something and feed them to the hedgehog to see if it will eat them.
If she doesn't eat it, we can only release the hedgehog into the mountains. She won't be able to catch insects anyway, even if we kill her.
Just as I was about to walk towards the stream, two drops of water fell from the sky.
Only then did Gu Wan realize that the weather didn't seem to get warmer even though it was almost ten o'clock.
Instead, it became even more gloomy.
Is it really going to rain? If so, let’s go back first and wait until the rain stops before going back to see if that guy has eaten the sweet potatoes or something.
Thinking of this, Gu Wan hurried home. She didn't want to be soaked.
At this time, many people working in the fields were also quickly packing up their things. They were probably running because they were afraid that the picked vegetables would get soaked in water.
Gu Wan also ran after him.
When she finally got home, the sky seemed to have a big hole in it, and it started to rain heavily, which scared her.
Fortunately, I returned early. I don’t know where the village party secretary and the others have gone. It takes more than half an hour to get to the town. They should be halfway now.
Gu Wan suddenly felt a little guilty, wondering if it was because of her appearance that made Liu Qingcheng want to resist, and ultimately the butterfly effect led to this result.
Gu Wan looked at the rain and suddenly felt particularly lonely. She took a deep breath, went to the living room and picked up the little rabbit in the cage.
Looking at the little hedgehog who was unwilling to eat anything, he said in frustration:
"I can't even take care of myself, and you want me to take care of a hedgehog. I guess I have to find a time to send it back to the mountains."
The little rabbit is very strange. It should be because it was born not long ago and it is fed frequently. It is not afraid of people and keeps sniffing its nose.
It was raining and there was nothing to do. Gu Wan could only calm down and pick up a book to read.
Fortunately, when she moved, she brought a lot of paper mystery novels and placed them in the warehouse. Otherwise, she would have been driven crazy in a place without a mobile phone and friends.
When Gu Wan was reading, time passed extra quickly until she felt hungry. When she looked at her watch, she found that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
It's impossible to cook and her cooking is not tasty.
Sometimes Gu Wan wondered if she was reborn to this place because she couldn’t cook, while the people here were good at cooking, such as adding water to make soup, and it was easy to learn.
Although it is easy to learn, Gu Wan is not used to it, so she would rather eat instant noodles. There are plenty of instant noodles in the space anyway, so she can just eat some fruit after finishing it.
It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Gu Wan got the news about Grandma Li. It was said that a heavy rainstorm occurred halfway through the journey the day before.
The ox cart got stuck in the mud and it was raining. The old lady didn't get emergency treatment in time and died.
When we found out that the person was dying on the road, we had to turn back to the village instead of going to the hospital.
Gu Wan seldom went out, and it was raining heavily, so she had no idea that these things had lasted for a long time yesterday.
Zhang Fengxia was unwilling to hold the funeral for the old lady. Finally, she had no choice but to ask the village party secretary to call the old lady's only surviving son.
Unexpectedly, when the other party heard that his biological mother had died, he only said that he would send some money and asked the village elders to preside over it. He had no intention of asking Zhang Fengxia for help.
After hearing this, everyone tried to persuade him, but in the end he hung up the phone. There was really nothing they could do, so they had to leave it like this.
Fortunately, Zhang Fengxia's father-in-law was popular and was able to arrange for the old lady's funeral.
It’s just that Zhang Fengxia was unwilling to show up, and the old lady’s only grandchild was not around. There were no filial sons and grandchildren, so the funeral was hasty and sad.
In the end, because it was raining so heavily, they had to rush to bury the body. After people carried the body up, they didn't stay for long before coming down.
The rain is really heavy and has been falling for three days in a row. Gu Wan was supposed to go to work tomorrow, but looking at the situation, she may not be able to go to work tomorrow.
Gu Wan was feeling upset when she heard a knock on the door.
At first I thought I was hallucinating. It was raining so heavily, and the knocking sound was blurred by the sound of rain hitting the ground. I couldn't hear it clearly.
Until finally, the sound gradually became louder, and Gu Wan was sure that someone was knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
It has been raining very heavily these past few days, so it is impossible to go out. Gu Wan doesn't have many acquaintances anyway, so she doesn't have to go out and just stays at home every day.
If she hadn't heard the knock on the door, she probably wouldn't have left the room.
"Gu Wan, it's me, Liu Qingcheng!"
Gu Wan was shocked. She didn't expect it was Liu Qingcheng. She hurriedly took an umbrella and didn't bother to put on her shoes. She would get wet if she wore them anyway, so it was better not to wear them.
