Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Even, two old apricot trees that had been hugged by the two for decades collapsed to the ground at this moment, the branches were crushed countless times, and the unfinished apricots rolled down everywhere.

Maybe it's because it's close to the big pit, so the water level drops faster.

There was almost no water in the alley.

Wang Tianxiao cautiously walked down the alleyway, and saw that the seepage pit had been revealed.

He was watching it, and suddenly his mind became agitated!

What about Wang Tianren? !

Where did Wang Tianren go?

When calling for help last night, I mainly considered the old, weak, women and disabled at home, and sent them to the station, while the remaining two brothers followed me.

Wang Tianren never thought of it.

The main reason is that he doesn't think about Wang Tianren's affairs at all.

When you encounter a big event all of a sudden, you will naturally forget it.

However, he didn't remember it, and others didn't pay attention, so it was a bit exaggerated.

He was already in the same situation as Wang Tianren, and he didn't want to pay attention to him, and he lived in the mountains, so he didn't care much about the people below.

In addition, since what happened last time, Wang Tianren felt crazy, his mind was a little unclear, and he often didn't know where to go every day, no different from a wandering lunatic.

Slowly, it was true that everyone didn't pay much attention to him.

Last night too.

Wang Tianxiao even sent Hongwei to the station, but he never thought about Wang Tianren at all.

Thinking of this, he called up: "Tianyi, Tianxin, did you see your third brother yesterday?"

Wang Tianyi and Wang Tianxin were stunned at the same time.

The faces of the two changed immediately.

Coincidentally.

They knew the subtext behind Wang Tianxiao's question.

Suddenly panicked.

He quickly followed Wang Tianxiao and ran down.

"The third brother didn't seem to come back last night?"

"Well, we didn't see anyone when we came up."

"I don't know if it's in the room, and no one went in to check."

"yes."

After Wang Tianren changed his appearance, he made his cave dwelling like a pig's nest. It stinks, and everyone would not go to see it when they have nothing to do.

So the specifics are not very clear.

Wang Tianxiao frowned and didn't say anything more.

He brought his two younger brothers directly to Wang Tianren's room.

As soon as the door was opened, Wang Tianren was seen shrinking behind the door, and fell into the water the moment the door opened.

"Third brother!"

"Third brother!"

Wang Tianxiao just glanced at it, his head buzzing.

And the two younger brothers beside him immediately rushed forward.

Wang Tianren's body became stiff.

I don't know how long I have been waiting behind this door.

So much so that at the moment of falling down, the body was still curled up tightly.

Wang Tianxin cried immediately.

Wang Tianyi was also squatting beside the third brother, his body trembling slightly.

Dazedly supporting Wang Tianren's body.

Wang Tianxiao stared blankly at the three younger brothers on the ground, his figure also swayed, he tried his best to hold on to the door frame, so as not to let himself fall to the ground.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly turned red.

It seems that the eyes are bloodshot.

Then I don't know anything.

After an unknown period of time, he regained consciousness in the call of his two younger brothers.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Wang Tianren's pale corpse again.

When he died, he must have been in great pain, with a grim expression on his face, his hands may have been desperately trying to open the door, his fingernails were overturned, and his fingers were all worn out.

Wang Tianxiao felt a little suffocated.

The shouts of the two younger brothers seemed to be thousands of miles away, and he seemed to be placed in a transparent glass box.

You can see and hear, but the distance is far away.

After a long time, he suddenly turned up from the ground, turned around and left the room, and ran along the alleyway to the ground in one breath, leaning over and panting heavily.

Did this person die like this?

Is this the result I have always hoped for?

He really hoped that Wang Tianren would not die well, right? It should be.

But.

Why is it so sad to see him in such a miserable state.

Sad don't know what to say, what to express, what to think, what to do?

He just wanted to gasp for breath.

Otherwise, he would suffocate.

Wang Tianyi and Wang Tianxin came up with Wang Tianren's body.

Just put it on the removed door panel.

The two were silent, looking at the brother's body, like two stone sculptures.

got windy.

The cold wind blew the wet clothes of the three of them, and the three of them felt very cold, and they all shivered twice.

It was this chill that made Wang Tianxiao slowly regain his sanity.

He turned around with difficulty, looked at Wang Tianren again, and finally sighed: "Tianyi, take out a bed sheet from the suitcase, and cover your third brother."

"Well, second brother."

With the help of Wang Tianxin, Wang Tianyi started looking for things.

Wang Tianxiao watched them silently, without moving for a long time.

Although the gears of time are still turning, they have already embarked on other tracks.

Wang Tianren, who could have lived more than ten years, died in fear on this stormy night.

When he was alive, he was useless and selfish, always thinking of taking more advantage from others, wanting to take everything from others as his own.

But he didn't expect that when he died, all he needed was a small place.

He curled up into a ball.

Even if you lie down, you can only put it down with a door panel.

He took nothing.

No one knew he was dead, and he died without a loved one by his side.

He originally had a wife, but she left him.

He originally had a child, but was abandoned by himself.

He originally had brothers, but he tried his best to split the brotherhood.

He had a mother...

In short, when he was alive, he wanted a lot, but lost even more.

So that when he died, he had nothing.

.

At noon, the sky finally cleared.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the red sun came out and hung in the sky.

Most of the water on the road has seeped into the soil, leaving only a small puddle in the potholes, which shone with tiny shadows under the sunlight.

All the ditches on both sides of the road are also full of water, and the whole field seems to be divided into many small paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's getting hot again.

Soon, a thin mist began to fill the air, and when one accidentally looked into the distance, one could still see sporadic mirages.

It is bright.

But people who have just experienced the disaster have not recovered.

And many people will never see the sunny day again.

After a morning's statistics, the statistics of all the disasters were basically clear. Excluding the dozen people who were sent to the hospital, eleven people were confirmed dead.

It includes Wang Tianren.

This number undoubtedly completely crushed everyone's psychological defenses.

People would never think that people who were fine yesterday will be separated forever overnight.

Women's hysterical cries could be heard everywhere.

At this time, daughters are very useful. They can be upright and open their mouths to cry bitterly, expressing their sadness and sorrow for the death of their family members.

Men can't.

Whether it is parents, brothers, or wives and children.

The men could only stand silently beside their corpses, neither wanting to say a word nor being able to speak.

Perhaps, they seem to be able to persevere on the surface, but their hearts are already riddled with holes, and they may fall down at any time.

Even if the water recedes, many people's pit yards are no longer convenient to enter.

Even if they can withstand the discomfort of the recent death of a family member, many cave dwellings are beginning to be in a dangerous state because of the soaked ground kang courtyard.

May collapse at any time.

It's too dangerous to live in.

Under the command of captain Wang Dabao, the homeless people either temporarily lived in their brother's house, or temporarily built a plastic shed above the pit yard, and temporarily put their bodies inside.

As for eating, at this time, it is basically settled in the neighborhood.

No matter how everyone is on weekdays, whether the relationship is close or not, they have become much more tolerant of each other at this moment.

Meals, hot water, and various tools are definitely not stingy.

Help out if you can.

Wang Tianxiao was even faster.

He contacted Liu Mang directly and started building a temporary residence on the alfalfa field above the pit yard.

Because the materials are all freshly obtained from prefabrication factories and brick and tile factories, and there are many people working, it is visible to the naked eye that a series of walls have begun to lay the foundation.

Before the house was built, Wang Tianxiao first contacted and set up a tent.

Like a dining tent.

Temporarily put Wang Tianren's body inside and temporarily set up a mourning hall.

Ordering the life of the coffin, I found that the coffin shop in the town was overcrowded all of a sudden, even if I didn't sleep and rest, I had to queue for half a month to get the coffin.

Wang Tianxiao entrusted Zhang Wenyuan to get it directly from other places.

Shipping is a bit more.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

People die and evil disappears.

In the morning, he stood silently beside Wang Tianren's body for a long time.

Recalling when they were very young, in fact, the two still have some good memories.

Then use those only memories to give their twisted brotherhood a final end.

After Wang Tianxiao was buried in the coffin, the relationship was over.

He will help bring up Hongwei, or see if his elder brother wants to adopt him. Anyway, he is his nephew, so he has to give him a good future no matter what.

The news has not been told to the mother.

He still doesn't know how to tell his mother.

Although this child is incompetent, has no sense of responsibility, and even does things that both humans and gods hate.

But in the eyes of mothers, they are also children.

Suddenly there is no more, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, Wang Tianxiao can feel the heartache.

In the previous life, his son had a safety accident at work and lay in the ICU for three days. When Wang Tianxiao was guarding outside the hospital, he felt that the sky was about to collapse.

There was no one to support her, and she couldn't even stand upright.

The problems facing his mother now are basically the same as those he encountered before.

He was lucky in the end that time, and the child recovered in the end.

But this time, it was a real separation between heaven and man.

He is very tired.

I squatted on the stone roller with my head down and looked into the distance for a long time, but still didn't want to speak.

There were footsteps beside me.

Wang Tianyi came to the side, "Second brother, about the third brother's funeral..."

"You take care of it."

Wang Tianxiao responded weakly, and added: "Don't worry about the money, I will give it to you later."

"good."

Wang Tianyi nodded, waited and said, "Mother..."

Wang Tianxiao glanced at him, thought for a while, and said helplessly, "Mother, let me go and talk. You first take Tianxin and contact paper goods, drummers and other things. Hurry up. The one who was injured recently There are so many people, it is estimated that it will be difficult to invite."

"OK."

"My relatives, it's time to notify."

"OK."

"...What else, you think about it first, just come to me if you have any difficulties."

Wang Tianyi nodded.

He knew that his second brother Wang Tianxiao was able to do this, which was actually considered as the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

At first, he was worried that the second brother would not pay attention to the third brother's affairs.

After all, the relationship between the second brother and the third brother was already bad to the limit, and because the third brother abandoned the child recently, the second brother's disgust increased again.

Because the second brother is the kind of person who values ​​his family very much.

well.

Things have developed to this point, and many things are really hard to say.

Wang Tianxiao looked up at the sky.

The sun has already slipped through the mid-heaven, which is the hottest time of the day.

Rubbing his eyes, he jumped off the stone roller.

"I'll go to the city first."

Wang Tianyi instantly understood what he meant and nodded.

.

Wang Tianzhong walked into the office, hung his hat on the hanger, and asked with a smile, "Tianxiao, are you here to see me today, or are you passing by?"

Wang Tianxiao stood at the window, looking out through the glass.

Hearing the elder brother's words, he turned his face slowly and said softly, "Eldest brother, the third child is gone."

"Ha, why is the third child gone?"

Wang Tianzhong unbuttoned the neckline and sat on the sofa. He didn't hear what Wang Tianxiao was saying clearly.

"Last night, the flood at home was much bigger than in the city. Many people in the pit yard were injured, including... including the third child."

Wang Tianzhong was going to get the teacup on the coffee table, but he was stunned when he heard this.

"You said... gone?"

Wang Tianxiao nodded.

"The third child is dead."

Wang Tianzhong looked at his younger brother in shock, his eyes were wide open, as if he had been frozen, he just raised his hand in a daze.

"Brother, don't..."

Just as Wang Tianxiao wanted to comfort Wang Tianzhong not to be too sad, because his heart was not good, he saw Wang Tianzhong clutching his chest and collapsed on the sofa.

"Brother..."

Wang Tianxiao hurried over, helped Wang Tianzhong sit up, and helped him caress his chest.

Wang Tianzhong panted heavily, and it took him a long time to recover slowly.

He looked at Wang Tianxiao in a daze: "What's going on, why did people disappear?"

Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to repeat what happened last night.

"Why are you so careless, why don't you know how to look more, he's out of his mind now, you... oh."

Wang Tianxiao didn't speak.

Big brother's complaint is just a subconscious reaction.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that this matter had nothing to do with him. What he could do, he had already done very well.

With Wang Tianren's death, his heart is still empty, but that's because after all, brothers are brothers, and sometimes that kind of blood relationship just doesn't make sense.

Perhaps if both of them can live to old age, he will hate Wang Tianren for the rest of his life.

But seeing him die young at such a young age, it is still difficult to completely let go of him and treat him as an ordinary enemy.

Wang Tianzhong slowly calmed down.

"Does mother know?

"I don't know yet, I want to tell you first, and see if you tell mother or I will tell."

Wang Tianzhong sighed: "Everyone says it's the same, people are gone, these are not important anymore. When Dad passed away, I promised the old man to take good care of the brothers, but after all, I failed."

Wang Tianxiao was silent.

He hoped that what Wang Tianzhong said was the truth.

Frankly speaking, he felt that Wang Tianzhong did not fulfill his responsibility as a big brother.

In this kind of big family, when the father died early, the elder brother basically had to assume part of the father's responsibilities, not only to let the brothers grow up, but also to be responsible for educating their moral character, mediating disputes and conflicts between brothers, etc. wait.

But the eldest brother obviously didn't do it well.

If Wang Tianxiao hadn't been reborn, he would have been let down for the rest of his life.

He didn't believe that his elder brother didn't feel the slightest bit about the family's chaos and all kinds of conspiracies.

More often than not, it's just muddling along.

As long as there is no bigger incident and it can be maintained on the surface, then he will turn a deaf ear and watch from the sidelines.

As a result, people like Wang Tianren who like to make trouble...

Well Well.

Wang Tianxiao didn't want to think about the bad things about Wang Tianren anymore.

When a person dies, let everything be over.

"The house was also flooded, and there is no place to live when I go back for the time being. Brother, see when you come home. Mother and a few children will be placed with me for the time being. After the matter is over, let's see how the family arranges it."

"I... I'll see if I can ask for leave tomorrow. The security is not very good recently. I have been very busy and haven't rested for a long time."

Wang Tianxiao nodded and said, "Then you can see."

He was not in the mood to continue persuading Wang Tianzhong to go home early.

Anyway, that's what happened.

What you should do yourself, just do it yourself.

Others, how much to do, they decide for themselves.

tired.

.

When Wang Tianxiao returned to the station, he didn't go to his mother immediately.

He quietly went back to his room, looking at his wife knitting sweaters on the kang, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Seeing that his expression was not normal, his wife put down the sweater and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? It rained heavily last night. It rained heavily in the mountains. You can hear the sound of rain and the flow of torrents in the room." roar."

"It's raining heavily."

"Ah, it's okay. Many people in the village live in the pit courtyard. If the water goes down...why do you look so bad?"

Li Yali was sure that something was wrong with her husband.

"The third... is dead."

"ah!"

Li Yali lay on the kang in shock.

She finally understood why her husband was so depressed.

But for a while, she suddenly didn't know what to say to her husband?

To comfort him, it seems that he shouldn't.

After all, the relationship between the husband and the third child is in dire straits.

But she knew her husband very well.

He is not the kind of person who can really hurt others cruelly.

Even if it is the third child, the husband at most will not associate with them, and will not take the initiative to hurt him.

Otherwise, if there is a problem with the child of the third family, why is the husband still so worried, more anxious than anyone else.

After all, he was a kind, good man.

He was angry, but he tried his best to take care of his relatives.

When he was alive, he must have hated the third child, but now that he died suddenly, he must also feel uncomfortable.

Li Yali thought a lot for a while, but she didn't have a word to comfort Wang Tianxiao, so she could only slowly move her butt to the top of the kang, and gently held her husband's face in her hands.

"You did your best."

Looking at his wife's gentle eyes, Wang Tianxiao said softly, "I should have hated him very much, but you know, when I opened the door and saw that he had shrunk into a ball and his body was already cold, I was still very sad."

"I understand that you have such a personality. Even if he treats you badly, you still think that you are a blood brother after all. This is not your fault, so don't be too sad."

"I know, I just feel a little lost in my heart. It seems that something is gone, a little empty."

"Oh, life and death are life and death."

Seeing his wife's encouraging eyes, Wang Tianxiao gradually felt better.

He rubbed his eyebrows and said softly: "I asked the fourth child to prepare for the funeral, entrust the child to brother Wenhua and the others today, and let's go down the mountain to help tomorrow.

In this life, the third child and I have not been good brothers, and now there is a distance between heaven and man, so this brother, I will give him a ride. I hope he can be a good person in his next life and don't make the same mistakes again. "

"Well, it should be," Li Yali nodded, agreeing to her husband's arrangement, then said again: "Now that he's gone, I don't know where the flowers are, and even her father didn't see her for the last time."

"I don't know, and I don't know where that child was taken by the hanged ghost. That child Hua'er is also a good child, but she didn't meet good parents. She was still studying, but now she's broken." .”

"That's right. By the way, did you tell the eldest brother about the third child?"

"Brother has already said it, and sister and brother-in-law also called and told them to tell Xiaolan by the way. It's just that Tiancheng can't be contacted, and there is no phone number. It must be too late to write a letter."

"It's indeed a problem. But it's okay, Tiancheng will let him do it well, let's talk about it when he comes back, after all, he died in an accident, so that he won't know how sad he is."

"Well, so do I."

Wang Tianxiao lay on his back on the kang, resting his head on his hands, staring at the beams on the roof in a daze.

"How can I tell my mother?"

"Yes, my mother has been in poor health recently. If I know this, I don't know if I can hold it."

"yes."

Li Yali also sighed, with a sad face.

"However, I still have to talk about it. After all, people can't delay it. I have to talk about it sooner or later. I can't let her see her son for the last time, right?"

"Well. I'll go to bed first. I didn't sleep last night. You know, Cao Daneng was also drowned."

"..."

Li Yali was surprised again.

"A total of eleven people have disappeared from the village."

Wang Tianxiao said, said, and closed his eyes.

He was tired all night, and he took another trip to the city during the day, and now he is a little bit overwhelmed.

As soon as the eyes are closed, I fall asleep.

Li Yali wanted to go down and take off her husband's shoes so that he could have a good rest, but she was afraid of waking him up.

In the end, she lightly pulled a thin blanket over him.

Feeling his wife's warmth, Wang Tianxiao turned around gently, hugged his waist, and buried his head in his wife's arms.

Cling tightly.

Li Yali hugged her husband's shoulder distressedly.

I feel sorry for this sensitive and sensitive man.

.

During dinner in the afternoon, Zhang Yufeng was actually very happy.

She is surrounded by several grandchildren.

Wang Fang, Wang Hongwei, Wang Tian, ​​Wang Peng, and their youngest daughter Wang Xiaozhu.

She liked the little grandchildren more than the children.

In front of them, his temper has become much better, and he no longer has so many troubles.

Seeing her happy appearance, Wang Tianxiao and Li Yali secretly felt sad.

She really didn't know how she would suffer when she heard the news.
