Zhang Heng originally planned to wait until dawn to send the old man home, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed very anxious, even regardless of his injured leg, determined to leave.
Taking the Buddha to the west, Zhang Heng takes out his travel bag and locks the polo. Then he carries the old man on his back. First, he goes through the woods, then climbs along a steep cliff. In the middle, he jumps over a mountain stream about one meter wide, and finally arrives at the latter's home in the middle of the mountain.
It's said that home is actually just a cave. Zhang Heng glanced at it and found that it was about 200 square meters. There were some simple furniture in it, including bed, stool, stove and a rice bowl There is no water, no electricity, not to mention the net. In fact, the furniture seems to be discarded by others and picked up by the owner here.
When he saw the figure on the bed, Zhang Heng also understood why the old man was so anxious to come back.
There lay a little boy, dark and thin, just like a little monkey. Although it was late, he didn't fall asleep. His cheeks were flushed and he coughed in a low voice.
Zhang Heng put the old man on a reclining chair at the entrance of the cave, went up, touched the child's forehead, and looked at his throat. Fortunately, it was just a fever caused by tonsil inflammation. No wonder the old man didn't sleep at night and got into the woods to collect medicine, but it was too dark to see the road under his feet and fell down.
It's not difficult to cure the disease. Zhang Heng's bag is filled with anti-inflammatory drugs. He uses mineral water to feed the child on the bed with a piece of amoxicillin. Then he finds a place by himself and closes his eyes against the cave wall.
The old man on the other side saw that the child's condition was gradually improving, and he was finally relieved. After all, he was old, and he had just tossed about for a night, and soon fell asleep after relaxing.
However, the old man's sleep time is generally not too long. Just at the dawn of the day, he opened his eyes, only to find that the young man who had rescued him and treated the little girl had disappeared.
However, the old man saw the box of amoxicillin opened on the wooden table not far away. In addition, there was a crutch made of small tree branches beside him. The old man stood up from the chair with the crutch and went to the bed. First he looked at the child, but then he heard the sound from outside the cave.
When the old man came to the cave entrance, he saw Zhang Heng on the cliff. Now Zhang Heng was climbing up the mountain with a heavy black box on his back, but his steps were still relaxed and steady, and he didn't seem to be affected by the things on his back.
Zhang Heng also saw the old man standing at the entrance of the cave. He waved to him as a greeting, but then he kept on climbing. However, he did not return to the cave, but stopped on another cliff not far away. The old man knew that the place was also a cave, but the area was not as big as here, and the terrain was more steep.
That's why he finally chose to live here.
But this is not a problem for Zhang Heng, and it can be seen that it is not the first time for him to climb into the cave. He even made a rope ladder with fujiman for easy access.
In fact, this is Zhang Heng's seventh time to go in and out, including the 24 hours of stopping time. In the first few times, he mainly cleaned the cave, and then brought his own props, food and daily necessities from the car.
Zhang Heng didn't plan to live here, because he didn't have much time left, but he was willing to spend some time to make himself comfortable under the existing conditions. This time, he took down the battery of Polo's car for power supply, and then he would carry the engine and gasoline to here.
However, after putting the battery in his new residence, he went back to the bigger cave next to him and visited the old couple and children who lived there.
Their mental state seems to be much better than that of yesterday. The child's high fever has subsided, but the old man's broken leg doesn't know how long it will take to heal. Generally speaking, it takes two to three months for an adult to heal. As for the old man, this time may be longer.
Zhang Heng worried that they couldn't have a meal, so he gave them some instant noodles from the car. But the old man waved his hand and refused. He put the egg yolk pie he got from Zhang Heng last night in front of the little girl's bed. Then he bailed out a bowl of rice from the rice bowl with crutches, poured it into the iron pot, and bailed out three big bowls of water from the water bowl. It seemed that he was ready to cook porridge, and then he took Zhang Heng out of the rice bowl with crutches I've cooked my bowl, too.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng was no longer busy going down the mountain, so he helped to burn firewood and finish his porridge in the cave. At this time, the child also got up from the bed. It was at this time that Zhang Heng realized that it was a girl who was taking the medicine last night.
I can't help it. When I was young, the difference between men and women was not obvious. Moreover, the little girl looked a little malnourished, black and thin. No matter who came, at first glance, she would think it was a boy.
So Zhang Heng left another box of multivitamin tablets. Originally, he took them just in case, and he didn't have much use. It's better to leave them to those who need them more.
After breakfast, Zhang Heng didn't say much. He didn't even ask about the relationship between the old man and the girl, or why they lived deep in the mountains. He just continued to carry useful things.In the end, Zhang Heng not only put his luggage into the newly found cave, but also removed all the spare parts that could be used in the car. The rest of the useless parts were thrown into the stream by him and washed directly under the waterfall.
From this day on, the old and the young, who used to live alone in the mountains, had one more neighbor.
However, the new neighbor didn't like to go out very much. Most of the time he stayed alone in his cave. He only came to the cave of the old man and the little girl when he ate. Although he opened his mouth more, the dishes were much richer than before. Zhang Heng brought a lot of snacks and instant food that didn't need to be cooked.
In addition, with his survival skills in the wild, he can find many wild vegetables and fruits as long as he goes out for a stroll, which is far more than what he eats from the old people and girls.
So it didn't take long for the little girl to fall in love with this young uncle who always brings delicious food when she comes here, but the look on his face is very calm no matter what, sometimes it feels like a stone to her.
