After hearing this, Zhou sat on the ground with his legs weak, Wang Chunhua seemed to have lost her heart, her eyes were empty, and there was no expression on her face.
Li Taohua was also scared.
She ran up to her and asked with tears streaming down her face, "How is my brother?"The man didn't answer Li Taohua's question, but asked, "Li Tie is staying strong?"How is Li Jieshi?Someone asked.
Some others also ran in the direction of Lee's house.
When Zhou heard the news of asking Li Jieshi, he gradually calmed down some of his emotions.
Li Taohua stepped forward to help Zhou and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with my eldest brother?"Wang Chunhua froze in place, looked at the crowd in the distance, and silently shed tears.
Zhou couldn't care so much, she trotted in the direction of Li Jieshi's house.
When she ran to the courtyard of Li Geshi's house, she saw Li Jieshi's daughter-in-law sitting on the ground and crying bitterly, and her five young children also cried.
The youngest child was only a few months old, and he crawled up to his mother's side and cried and clawed at his nose and tears.
Mr. and Mrs. Li had four daughters and a son, and in order to feed the children, Li Jieshi worked in a coal kiln.
I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and the villagers all sighed.
The man took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Li Jieshi's daughter-in-law, saying, "This is the compensation ...... from the coal kiln."Li's strong daughter-in-law beat her chest and kept saying, "Why are you so ruthless, how can we, orphans and widows, live......When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help crying, and several women stepped forward to comfort Li Jieshi's daughter-in-law.
People have passed away ......You still have a few children to take care of, you can't fall down, ah......The man said, "No one knew what would happen ...... such an accident."The man squeezed through the crowd and was about to leave, but was pulled by Zhou.
What about my wealth?Dafu didn't have an accident......Zhou's voice trembled.
The man said, "I don't know!.""What?Zhou was dizzy and almost fell to the ground, but Li Taohua hurriedly supported her.
The man continued: "When Li Jieshi was found in the coal kiln, he was already dead of anger, and three people were missing......"A few days ago, a coal kiln suddenly collapsed, causing six people to be trapped inside, three people have been found, two of them have been rescued, while Li Jieshi died on the spot, and three people are missing.
Because the coal kiln was too far away from the site to transport the remains, Li Jieshi was temporarily buried, and the coal kiln gave his family 200 yuan in compensation ......This man gave the money to Li Jieshi's daughter-in-law.
Zhou Shi listened to his words and became even more worried, "What about my great wealth?"Have you seen my great wealth?The man replied: "There are many people in the coal kiln, all contract workers, and the identities of the three missing people have not yet ......been determined."Wang Chunhua stood next to Zhou, and when she heard this person's answer, her heart became even more anxious.
Her eyes were glazed and expressionless, and she returned home with the child in her arms, crying heavily.
When the child saw his mother crying, he cried incessantly.
Zhou relied on Li Taohua's support and returned home like a walking corpse, only to see Wang Chunhua crying bitterly.
Zhou couldn't help but start crying, so Li Taohua saw that Zhou and Wang Chunhua were crying, and she also cried.
Li Mancang was working in the fields, and when he heard that Li Jieshi had an accident in the coal kiln, his heart also trembled, so he immediately picked up his hoe and walked to the village.
When he walked into the yard, he heard several people crying in the house.
He quickly entered the house and asked, "What's wrong?".When Zhou saw Li Mancang coming back, he cried and said, "There was an accident in the coal kiln, and ...... died."Li Mancang listened to Zhou's words, his face was also full of sadness, and said: "How can this orphan and widow live in the future......."Zhou said: "There are still three people who have not been found, and I don't know what happened to Dafu......."Li Mancang's heart ached, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Don't cry anymore, the three people you didn't find are not necessarily the rich ...... of our family."Li Taohua stopped crying first, walked to Wang Chunhua's side and picked up Xiaochang, and said, "Sister-in-law, stop crying!."Wang Chunhua stopped crying, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably.
She was worried about Li Dafu's safety, what if Li Dafu was among the three?After Zhou cried for a while, he stopped crying and said, "Let our great fortune come back safely!"."Since this happened, the Li family has been shrouded in grief every day.
Whenever there is a dead of night, Wang Chunhua always hides in the quilt and cries bitterly.
She wanted to go to the coal kiln to find her husband, but the distance was long and there was no cost, and as a woman, she was never far from the ...... homeMany practical problems plagued her, and the only thing she could do was silently pray for Li Dafu to return safely.
The sky was overcast, the storm was coming, and Wang Chunhua saw Li Dafu staggering from the clouds to ......He cried and ran to Li Dafu's side, "Dafu, what's wrong with you......."Li Dafu's expression was blank, his face was pale, he had been bleeding all the time, no matter how Wang Chunhua cried, he didn't react at all.
Wang Chunhua stepped forward to pull him, but Li Dafu suddenly fell to the ground, his face lifeless.
Wang Chunhua lay on him and cried bitterly, "Dafu, you can't die, you can't leave me and Xiaogai alone......."However, Li Dafu didn't open his eyes to look at her, Wang Chunhua shook Li Dafu who was lying on the ground hard, and cried sadly.
When Wang Chunhua was crying in grief, she suddenly heard the child's cry, and she immediately woke up, it turned out to be a dream.
Li Dafu's life and death are still unknown, Wang Chunhua feels that her dream is very unlucky, and tears gushed out like a flood.
Wang Chunhua hugged the crying child tightly, and she also cried loudly.
The child stopped crying when he saw her, and wiped the tears from her face with his little hands, and made a babbling sound, as if to comfort her not to be sad.
The child is still so young, what should he do if Li Dafu really has an accident?Wang Chunhua's heart was broken, she was worried that she would scare the child, so she couldn't hold back and not make a sound, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing.
Wang Chunhua was worried all day long, and she looked forward to Li Dafu coming back suddenly every day and being safe and sound.
Two months passed in a flash, and the wheat in the fields was ripe.
It stands to reason that the people who went to work in the mines should also come back.
Wang Chunhua was very much looking forward to Li Dafu's safe return, and she made lunch, but Li Mancang and Zhou had not yet returned from the field, and Xiao Gai had already fallen asleep.
So, she trotted in the direction of the commune.
Halfway through the run, she saw several people walking towards her, all carrying bags of fertilizer.
Due to the distance, she couldn't see the faces of these people clearly.
Are they back?Wang Chunhua ran forward desperately.
As she got closer and closer to these people, her heart became more and more nervous.
You guys. You are. Came back from the coal kiln?"Wang Chunhua looked at the bearded men.
When the men saw Wang Chunhua, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in their eyes, and everyone answered her question in unison.
When Wang Chunhua heard their affirmative answer, she immediately collapsed to the ground, and the men looked at her dumbfounded.
You. What's wrong with you?" "What's the matter?"...Several men stepped forward, their faces confused.
You guys. Do you know Li Dafu?Why didn't he come back. "Several men looked at each other, not knowing how to answer her question.
These men were all villagers around Lijia Village, and they went to Shanxi with Li Dafu, but they did not see Li Dafu at all.
At first, they worked in one coal kiln, but after the accident at that coal kiln, they were dispersed to other coal kilns.
So they don't know anything about Li Dafu's situation.
The men described the situation of the coal kiln to Wang Chunhua, and Wang Chunhua asked"Have all those who were buried in the coal kiln been found?"She held back her tears and didn't let them fall.
Several people shook their heads, and one man said:"After the accident at the coal kiln, we left, and later we heard that two were alive and four were dead. "Wang Chunhua listened to their words and was completely desperate.
There was darkness in front of her eyes, and she fainted to the ground.
Several men hurriedly stepped forward, and one of them hurriedly pinched Wang Chunhua's middle man.
After a while, Wang Chunhua woke up, and two men helped her sit on the side of the road.
Maybe Li Dafu is still on the way. Don't overthink it, everything will be fine. " "Don't worry, maybe he'll be back in a few days. "...Several men comforted Wang Chunhua one after another, her face was pale, her lips trembled, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence:"I see, you guys go first, I'll rest here for a while. "Several men looked at Wang Chunhua and turned to leave.
As soon as they left, Wang Chunhua couldn't help crying.
Tiangong seemed to be cooperating with her, the sun was still shining just now, and suddenly the sun was gone, and the dark clouds covered the sky, and the dark clouds were above Wang Chunhua's head, pressing down little by little.
Click—"A thunderclap was deafening, and Wang Chunhua shivered.
Suddenly, the wind blew, and she shivered all over, and she clasped her upper body with both hands, and looked into the distance in despair.
After a flash of lightning and thunder, the rain poured down, and Wang Chunhua knelt on the ground, allowing the rain to blur her eyes.
She cried out in tears, but her voice could not be heard at all, only the sound of thunder and rain.
Wang Chunhua was soaking wet, and her thin clothes and pants clung to her delicate body.
Sister-in-law. Spring.
Zhou and Li Taohua were barefoot and covered with fertilizer bags on their bodies, and hurriedly ran over.
Zhou draped a fertilizer bag over Wang Chunhua.
Chunhua, what are you doing?She asked bitterly.
Wang Chunhua looked into the distance, I don't know if it was rain or tears, she couldn't open her eyes, she tried to touch the water on her face, and then knelt there quietly.
Zhou and Li Taohua helped her up, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and they staggered towards the distance, like a few pieces of paper, as if they might be swallowed up by the storm at any moment and disappear without a trace.
After the rain, Wang Chunhua fell ill, her forehead was hot, and she was drowsy in bed, and Li Mancang hurriedly called the village doctor.
The doctor placed the thermometer under Wang Chunhua's tongue, took it out five minutes later, and was surprised to find that it had reached 40 degrees Celsius.
This high temperature is very dangerous, the doctor gave her a skin test and immediately gave her an injection, then took out the cut waste newspaper and paper, wrapped the medicine for two days, and said: "Be sure to avoid the wind and take the medicine on time!".Wang Chunhua was lying on the bed in a daze, her stomach felt uncomfortable, she vomited whatever she ate, she couldn't even swallow her saliva, and she vomited out the medicine she had taken.
Li Mancang was in a hurry in the hall, Li Taohua kept boiling water, and Zhou took two rags dipped in hot water and took turns to stick them on Wang Chunhua's forehead to cool down.
The rain continued for several days and nights, and the village was full of water and the ditches on the side of the road were full, as if the rain had no intention of stopping.
Wang Chunhua had been suffering from a high fever, although Zhou had tried many methods, such as dipping a rag in hot water to cool her down, smearing her palms and soles with white wine, putting sesame seeds in her mouth and chewing them, rubbing her around her navel vigorously, and rubbing many purple-red bruises on Wang Chunhua's neck and shoulders.
However, Wang Chunhua's high fever has not subsided, and she is unable to take medicine, so she can only ask the village doctor to come and give her injections every day.
When the doctor gave her the injection, she was still delirious and even began to babble, "Dafu......Dafu ......Find me ...... in DonggouI'm going to find ...... DafuHearing her say this, Zhou was very worried, and she thought it was a bad omen.
When the doctor left, Zhou rushed to the hall and asked, "Can Chunhua's disease be cured?"It's been a few days and I'm still ...... feverI was talking nonsense just now......The doctor frowned, "she was already faint from ...... feverWhen people are delirious, they talk nonsense ......She couldn't take any medicine, so she had to rely on injections to ......You have to make her drink plenty of water......Pay attention to the ...... shelter from the windThe doctor did not answer Zhou's question explicitly because he was not sure about it himself.
The people in the village who went to work in the coal kiln came back one after another, only Li Dafu did not come back, Li Mancang and Zhou were both frightened and uneasy, but they did not dare to mention Li Dafu in front of Wang Chunhua.
During the day, they were busy harvesting the crops, forgetting the pain in their hearts for a while, and at night, the old couple wept silently in the room, one of their two sons is missing, and the other is uncertain, how should they live?
Li Mancang smoked a dry cigarette fiercely, and his mood was extremely heavy: "I, Li Mancang, have never done anything bad in my life, how can this be......."The Li family is about to cut off the incense ......How will I be accountable to my ancestors and fathers when I die......The cigarette pouch pot in his hand fell to the ground, holding his head in both hands, crying in pain, releasing the depression and sadness in his heart.
Zhou watched him cry, covered his mouth, and sobbed in a low voice: "He ......."The pain in her heart is not comparable to Li Mancang, her two sons are her sweethearts, both of which she gave birth to in October, but now she is gone, she is more ......painful than anyone elseLi Mancang went to the neighboring village to find the man who took people to the coal kiln, and the man said that he was only responsible for bringing people there, and that he would no longer be responsible for their work after arranging their work, and that their quality would ......be decided by themselvesHe said: "We are all villagers, there are some things I can not care about, but when I think it is really not easy, I can't bear to care, after Li Jieshi was rescued from the coal kiln, I buried him, and I also negotiated with the coal boss many times, and he was willing to compensate 200 yuan ......."The man said at length, meaning that the person who went to the coal kiln with him, he was only responsible for delivering and finding a suitable job, and other things had nothing to do with him, and as for whether Li Dafu was dead or alive, he was not responsible.
Li Mancang said: "Who died in the coal kiln collapse?The man said, "The last three were completely unrecognizable when they were dug up......."Except for Li Jieshi, the other people who went to the coal kiln came back to harvest the wheat, only Li Dafu did not come back, Li Mancang was completely desperate, he felt that Li Dafu might be more than lucky.
His eyes blurred with tears, as if he had lost his soul, and came to the slope of Donggou, sat in a deep ditch and cried loudly, I don't know how long, Li Mancang returned home with a pale face.
Zhou saw that he staggered back, and hurriedly went to support him: "He ......."Are you going to **?Li Mancang silently pushed her away, squatted next to the root of a big tree in the yard, he took out the cigarette bag and pot from his waist, stuffed the tobacco into the cigarette bag and pot with trembling hands, and took out a box of matches from his jacket pocket, but there was not a single match in the box.
Zhou saw it, took out a match from the stove room and handed it to Li Mancang, but Li Mancang didn't answer, he put the cigarette bag and pot on the ground, staring blankly at the ground.
Wang Chunhua walked out of the house with Xiaochang in her arms, and when she saw Li Mancang and Zhou's painful expressions, she said: "Uncle, mother, don't worry, Dafu may have been delayed because of something, and he will ......come back."She deceived herself and comforted the two old men.
Zhou was relieved to hear her words and said, "Yes, Chunhua is right, Dafu is such a kind child, how could something happen?"He's going to be ...... in a bad wayLi Taohua bit her lip and held it for a while, and finally said the words that bothered her: "Sister-in-law, if my brother really can't come back, will you leave?"Li Taohua's problem Wang Chunhua has also considered, if Li Dafu really can't come back, she won't leave, she has to feed the children and take care of the elderly.
Peach Blossom, I won't go!”
When Li Taohua heard her say this, she immediately laughed happily.
Just when she looked up and looked out of the courtyard, she saw a person, and she was so frightened that she quickly grabbed Wang Chunhua's hand, bit her lip and stopped talking.
To be continued.
