Surviving Endless Disasters

Wen Zheng was still young when he left his hometown, but he remembered clearly what happened. At that time, everything he saw was plain white and his ears were filled with crying. Not long after, he was taken away by his grandfather and left the village. .

Things at that time were also a mess. Wen Zheng couldn't figure it out before and almost gave up on himself. Fortunately, Grandpa Wen discovered it and after a long conversation, Wen Zheng was persuaded to think about it.

Grandpa Wen proposed to go back to the village this time, just to have a look, but he buried a worry in his heart. He couldn't stay for too long, so Wen Zheng didn't pack too much luggage, just a suitcase.

It was difficult to buy tickets for the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, the Lantern Festival was approaching, so they still ran from the big city to a small place. Wen Zheng bought the tickets the next day. They set off in the morning on Tu5. Taking into account the drive after getting off the plane, it was only about noon. Can arrive.

After the plane arrived, they directly found a taxi and drove to their hometown. They arrived in the town around one o'clock at noon. Wen Zheng and the others did not rush back to the village, but stopped in the town to have lunch first.

"Things have changed over the years.

"Grandpa Wen sighed. After a few years away from his hometown, his hometown has developed very fast. The town has completely changed. There are not many familiar faces. Only the accent makes people feel friendly.

"Grandpa, the food is here.

" Tuantuan pulled Grandpa Wen's sleeve.

The stunned Grandpa Wen came to his senses, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and reached for the familiar snacks from his hometown: "Okay, Grandpa, let's eat.

"After dinner, Wen Zheng found a car on the roadside and took them back to the village.

Nowadays, there are fewer tricycles in the town. They are all buses and three-wheeled taxis. The people who drive these taxis are older locals who rely on the taxi fare to earn some living expenses.

Not long after the driver of the car waited for them to get on the bus, he found a topic to start the conversation: "Oh, this kid is so cute. Did you go to Xiaowa Village to celebrate the New Year?" Going back to the city.

"I'm in a hurry to go back to work. It would be nice to remember to go back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year."

" Wen Zheng smiled and said nothing more.

The driver looked at Grandpa Wen sitting in the back through the rearview mirror. He always felt that he looked familiar, but he was not sure. He was halfway through the journey before asking: "Young man, the place you are going to is Xiaowa." Where in the village? My daughter got married here. I know every family in this village. I will deliver it directly to your doorstep.

"Grandpa Wen was looking through the car window at the small bridge passing by. The river under the bridge was frozen, and the shore was covered with dead grass.

In the past, the bridge over this river was broken and narrow, and could only pass one cart. Now, the bridge looks like it was built in the past two years, and it is more than enough for two cars to pass side by side.

When Grandpa Wen heard the driver's question, he thought he would be back anyway, so he spoke clearly: "Li Chunsheng, drive directly to my old house, which is in the bamboo forest at the entrance of the village. The village has not demolished my old house. Come on.

"Bah - the emergency brake sound sounded, the vehicle swerved, and finally stopped safely on the road.

Grandpa Wen regretted extremely that he shouldn't have said this on the road. He never expected that this person would react so strongly.

Li Chunsheng turned around and looked at Grandpa Wen's face carefully, and after a long time he asked in disbelief: "Wen Songqing?" Grandpa Wen nodded: "It's me. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a few years.

"Li Chunsheng is from the next village, and he is not much different in age. When he was young, they often faced each other in group fights between the two villages.

When Li Chunsheng got the affirmative answer, his eyes widened immediately. Many thoughts went through his mind, but he finally stopped at one question: "Wen Songqing, you are obviously several years older than me, but now you look younger than me. , no wonder I can’t recognize it.

"They are all entering old age, with a rosy complexion and half the wrinkles on their faces. It seems that they have lived a good life outside these years.

Looking at Wen Zheng and Wen Ling again, Li Chunsheng smiled and said: "This is your grandson, I remember his name is Xiao Zheng, who is this child?" "My great-grandson.

"Grandpa Wen said with a smile that the first thing he saw after coming back was not the villagers, but old friends from the next village. After all, it made him feel a lot more relaxed.

"I already have great-grandsons. I can't compare to you in this regard. My grandson is almost 3 years old and he still doesn't want to get married. It makes me worried.

"The distance from the town to the village is very short, a total of two minutes' drive, and we will be there in a blink of an eye.

Li Chunsheng sighed quietly as he recalled the tragedy that happened a few years ago.

In the last few minutes of driving, Li Chunlai said a few more words: "The village has developed quite well in recent years, but young people have gone out to work, and there are more elderly people and children in the village.

Many of my old friends have passed away, and your eldest brother has not been in good health in the past two years. I went to his house a few days ago and heard him mention you.

"Grandpa Wen said calmly: "It's been a few years, so some things just stay that way.

" As soon as he finished speaking, the car stopped in front of a dilapidated house. It could be seen that the house was designed with great care when it was built. However, it had not been inhabited for a long time and had experienced years of wind and rain, so it was inevitably dilapidated.

Wen Zheng was lost in thought while looking at this house. It was here that he spent his happy childhood and the most difficult days.

After getting off the car, Wen Zheng took Tuantuan's little hand and held the suitcase with the other hand and walked towards the house: "Tuan Tuan, this is the house where dad lived when he was a child. This persimmon tree was planted the year dad was born. "..." Grandpa Wen looked at the road not far away, and the scene from the past appeared in front of his eyes.

Grandpa Wen used to be quite prestigious in this village. One of the reasons was that he learned the skill of treating injuries from others. He opened a small clinic for treating trauma in the village. He treated all injuries that he was sure to cure, and persuaded those who were serious enough to need surgery to go to the hospital. He had been doing well for many years, but the only time he had an accident caused a huge tragedy.

The cause of the incident was a man from another village who broke his hand and came here for treatment. It was not a serious injury, and Grandpa Wen easily handled it.

But just a few days later, this man came to the village to make trouble, insisting that Grandpa Wen's medical skills were not good enough to treat his hand more seriously.

After the tragedy, the family collapsed and let it slip that it was the man himself who did not follow the doctor's advice, causing his hand to be injured again, and deliberately came here to make trouble.

People from other villages came to make trouble, but the rest of the people in Xiaowa Village did not agree, and many families came to help.

After discussion, Wen's father and mother and several young people in the village took the man who made trouble to the hospital for examination, while Grandpa Wen had patients to treat and could not get away.

Grandpa Wen received the bad news at home. The tractor from the village to the hospital encountered a traffic accident on the road, and no one on the car came back alive.

The truck driver who caused the accident was driving fatigued and also died on the spot. The driver's family came to ask for compensation, but the dead could not come back alive.

Grandpa Wen had to bear the death of his son and daughter-in-law, and had to face the anger of the villagers. If it weren't for helping Grandpa Wen, his family would not take this trip out, and would not have encountered this accident.

Although I know that Grandpa Wen is innocent and sad, I just can't get over it.

During that time, the atmosphere of the whole village was dead silent, with only crying and the sound of funeral handling.

After dealing with the affairs of his son and daughter-in-law with great pain, Grandpa Wen realized that he had not noticed the situation of his grandson in the chaos. The departure of his parents, the pointing and pointing of the villagers, and the curses of the children in the victim's family had a great impact on Wen Zheng.

Considering Wen Zheng's growth, Grandpa Wen decided to take Wen Zheng away from the village after thinking for a few days and start a new life somewhere else.

Over the years, Grandpa Wen rarely mentioned his hometown, just to avoid the tragedy of the past.

When thinking about this, Grandpa Wen's mood was particularly complicated, but it was only because of Wen Zheng that he suppressed these feelings in his heart.

Now that he encountered a serious illness, his grandson had a wonderful experience, and he also had a great-grandson, Grandpa Wen gradually figured it out.
