portable space

After the crowd dispersed, Zhang Taiping and his family walked back carrying buckets. Yaya held the squirrel in her hands, and behind the three of them were two dogs, Zhen, a big one and a small one.

Along the way, the little girl kept her head down and walked silently, not daring to speak. Although Zhang Taiping was very kind to her now, the lingering power of the past was still there, especially when Zhang Taiping raised his face, Yaya did not even dare to express her anger.

, not to mention such a big thing happened today, what he fears most is that his father will hit him.

Zhang Taiping looked at her look like she had done something wrong and felt cute, but he still asked with a straight face: "Tell me what happened today."

Yaya raised her head and secretly glanced at Zhang Taiping's expressionless face, and whispered: "They want to go to the big market to roast red sweet potatoes. Tiantian and I won't go. But Ergouzi said that if I didn't go, we would never get along with each other in the future.

We played."

"Then how did you run out before them?"

"It was on fire. They were starting a fire. I ran out...I ran out and wanted to go home and tell my father." He said the last part of his voice like mosquitoes and ants, and his head lowered even lower.

Zhang Taiping picked her up and put her in his arms, and said: "Dad criticized you today. You did the right thing. Don't play with fire in the future. If you encounter this kind of thing, don't go up to put out the fire yourself. Instead, just like

Do you understand that you ran out to find the adults like this today?"

Yaya said "Yeah" with tears in her eyes, then hugged Zhang Taiping's neck and cried "Wow".

"Why are you crying? Don't cry."

"I thought... thought dad... didn't want Yaya anymore."

"How could it be? It's too late for dad to love Yaya, so how could he not want her? Don't think like that in the future, dad will love Yaya from now on."

"Yeah." He held Zhang Taiping's neck and rested his head on his shoulders. After a while, he fell asleep.

Cai Yazhi felt sweet in her heart as she listened to the conversation between father and daughter. This family is her own heaven. As long as her husband treats his daughter well and himself well, even if he can never speak or speak, the whole world will be beautiful.

When he returned home, a car parked unexpectedly. Zhang Taiping knew it after looking at the car model and license plate, but he was still a little confused. Why were they here at this time?

When I walked into the yard, I saw two people standing at the door. Ah Huang and Lion roared twice when they saw that they were acquaintances, so they stopped yelling, but they still stared at the two people warily.

When Fan Ming saw Zhang Taiping and the others coming back, he ran over and said happily: "Big guys, you are finally back." Then he said to Cai Yazhi, "Hello, Sister Cai, I'm here to disturb you again."

Cai Yazhi smiled and nodded.

Then Fan Ming looked at Zhang Taiping, who was confused, and then Xing Rushui said: "Don't you miss Yaya?"

Fan Ming blushed and secretly glanced at Cai Yazhi. Seeing that she opened the door and didn't notice him, Fan Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yaya who had just been woken up, "Yaya, do you miss your aunt?"

Yaya just woke up and was still confused. She stared at her blankly for a while before she came back to her senses and said happily: "Auntie, why are you here?"

"Auntie is here to see Yaya. She will live here from now on. Do you want to welcome auntie?" As he said that, his eyes glanced at Zhang Taiping, but Zhang Taiping happened to be greeting Xing Rushui and didn't notice.

"Welcome!" Yaya said as she got off Zhang Taiping.

"Yaya is so good, sleep with your aunt tonight, okay?"

"Yeah." Yaya nodded in agreement.

Zhang Taiping asked: "When did you come?"

Xing Rushui said: "That night, I saw a fire there and everyone was putting out the fire, so I drove the car to the door and waited for a while."

Zhang Taiping didn't ask them why they came. Since they came at such a short interval, it meant that they must have something to explain. Regardless of Shan Si's explanation, it was not suitable to talk outside the door.

Cai Yazhi opened the door and entered the room, turned on the lights in the room, and gestured to Zhang Taiping, who said: "It's quite cold standing outside, let's go inside first."

After entering the house, he went directly to the kitchen. Several people sat on the fire bed. Cai Yazhi scooped out a bowl of polenta for each person. She cut the baked persimmons and egg pancakes into pieces and put them in the basket. She also sat on them.

On the kang. A group of five people sit around the warm kang. In winter, the hot kang in the kitchen has this advantage. As long as you cook, it will be hot at any time.

Cai Yazhi spoke with gestures, and Zhang Taiping translated beside him: I didn't expect you two to come. I didn't prepare any other meals, only corn porridge and pickled vegetables, so I'll make do with it tonight.

After hearing this, Fan Ming hurriedly said: "Sister, don't bother. We may have to stay longer this time. From now on, sister can just cook as usual. No need to do anything special. We can just eat whatever we want."

Stay longer? After hearing this, Cai Yazhi obviously wondered how city people could live in a ravine for so long, but her temperament prevented her from asking.

After eating, Xing Rushui said to Cai Yazhi: "I may disturb my sister here for a long time. I will keep this money as accommodation and food expenses for the next few days." He handed it over.

A stack of banknotes, estimated to be tens of thousands of dollars.

Cai Yazhi quickly waved her hand away, and then gestured hurriedly: You are friends of Taiping and cannot accept money.

Xing Rushui insisted on giving it, but Zhang Taiping couldn't stand it anymore: "The house is empty, and besides, you can't eat much, so forget the money, we haven't reached that point yet."

Fan Ming gently pulled Xing Rushui's arm, and Xing Rushui smiled softly and said, "That's fine."

Arranging Fan Ming and Xing Rushui in a room in the middle courtyard, Cai Yazhi brought in some firewood and burned the kang. The kangs in these two rooms were burned from outside the house, and there was a

The large opening of the washbasin is equipped with a slide, which can burn both coal and firewood. Originally, burning coal was clean and could maintain the temperature for a long time, but now that there is no coal at home, we have to use less firewood.

The things in the room are also very simple, except for a cabinet and a table, there is nothing extra. I can only sleep for a night tonight, and I will sell some daily necessities tomorrow.

After Fan Ming fell asleep on the hot bed with Yaya in his arms, Xing Rushui called Zhang Taiping out to complain.

"I believe you can also see that my protection of Mingming is a bit too much, and you can guess some problems."

Zhang Taiping nodded and said nothing, waiting for the next message.

"Mingming has a strange disease."

"Strange disease? What kind of strange disease?"

"Speaking of it, there is no specific harm. It's just that as soon as you come into contact with some people, you will gradually become depressed until you finally fall asleep, but you won't wake up after sleeping for a day or two. It will take at least five days. Look for it.

Many doctors were unable to find a cause, let alone a cure, either clinically or psychologically. In the end, in order to protect her, the family had no choice but to isolate her from the outside world, and she could only live in an empty but uninhabited room all day.

In a big house, she can't even see her parents often, which makes her xinxing like a blank piece of paper."

Zhang Taiping was surprised and said: "This kind of disease is unheard of. It is indeed a strange disease."

Xing Rushui continued: "But not letting her have contact with the outside world can only delay her sleep time, but it can't stop it. It's just that the sleep time has been getting longer and longer recently. The last time we went into the mountain, the last time we were lethargic was reached.

For twenty days, every time she fell asleep, she had to take medicine to maintain her body's functions. It tortured herself and her family, especially her grandparents who loved her the most. Mingming once wanted to kill herself to free everyone.

, but I stopped them all. The last time we went into the mountains, she begged me to bring her here, but she didn’t expect that this was her blessed place. She met so many people in the mountains but she didn’t fall asleep. After returning, she didn’t fall asleep.

I just fell asleep for five days."

After saying that, Xing Rushui didn't wait for Zhang Taiping to speak and stared into his eyes tightly and said: "There is something here that can cure her disease. At least it can suppress it. Do you know what it is?" At the end of the sentence, his voice was urgent.

There is a sense of questioning in it.

Zhang Taiping's eyes were calm and he frowned and said calmly: "As for what it is that has this effect, I don't know, but I will try my best to find out and cure Miss Fan Ming's disease."

Xing Rushui saw something in Zhang Taiping's expression and eyes and realized that he had lost his temper just now. He calmed down and regained his previous gentleness and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now."

"It's nothing. Your temperament can be understood."

"That's why I came back here. One is to temporarily relieve Mingming's condition, and the other is to find something that can suppress or cure this strange disease. Besides, Mingming also likes living here."

"Okay, I understand. So will you two live in one room or two rooms in the future?"

"One room. It's convenient to take care of her. If anything happens, we can find out in time."

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Well, just stay in that room. The things in it are a bit simple. I'll buy some more tomorrow. If you need anything else, just tell me."

"Okay, I'll bother you then."

Zhang Taiping smiled and shook his head, thinking that I would go to the front room. Xing Rushui looked at Zhang Taiping's back, his eyes full of strange colors. Zhang Taiping felt uneasy after turning around. This woman could be suspicious based on clues.

It's really not easy when it comes to myself. It seems that I have to be careful in my actions in the future.

After entering the house and lying down on the kang, Cai Yazhi hesitated for a long time and finally asked: What brought them here?

Zhang Taiping chuckled as if he had seen through her heart and said: "Fan Ming, that young girl has a strange disease and needs to rest in the mountains. The last time she came to our place, she saw that the environment was not bad.

Just prepare to rest here for a while. It may take a long time, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Cai Yazhi nodded and said nothing more. She just blushed and arched her smooth body into Zhang Taiping's arms. How could Zhang Taiping resist this temptation? He immediately turned off the light, and the brocade quilt tumbled again.
