I Have 48 Hours a Day
v4 Chapter 82: New neighbor
Zhang Heng originally planned to wait until dawn to send the old man home, but he did not expect that the other party seemed very anxious, and even insisted on leaving regardless of his broken leg.
Sending the Buddha to the west, Zhang Heng simply took out his travel bag, locked the polo, and then carried the old man through the woods, and then climbed along a steep cliff, skipping a place in the middle. The mountain stream, which was about one meter wide, finally came to the latter's home in the middle of the mountain.
It is said that the home is actually just a cave. Zhang Heng glanced around. It was about 200 square meters. There were some simple furniture, including beds, stools, stoves, a rice jar...no water or no water. Electricity, not to mention the Internet, in fact, those pieces of furniture seemed to be thrown away by others and were picked up by the owner here.
And when he saw the figure on the bed, Zhang Heng also understood why the old man was so anxious to come back.
There was a child lying there, swarthy and thin, like a little monkey. Although it was late, he did not fall asleep. His cheeks were flushed and he was still coughing quietly.
Zhang Heng put the old man on a recliner at the entrance of the cave, walked up, touched the child's forehead, and glanced at his throat. Fortunately, it should be a fever caused by inflammation of the tonsils. No wonder the old man did not sleep at night. , I got into the woods, probably because I wanted to gather herbs, but it was too dark to see the road under my feet and fell.
It was not difficult to cure the disease. Zhang Heng contained anti-inflammatory drugs in his bag and fed the child on the bed with mineral water a piece of amoxicillin. Then he found a place by himself and closed his back against the cave wall. My eyes are refreshed.
The old man on the other side saw that the child's condition gradually improved, and finally felt relieved. After all, he was getting old, and after just tossing for a night, he soon fell asleep after relaxing.
However, the sleep time of old people is usually not too long. He opened his eyes just before dawn, only to find that the young man who had rescued him back and treated the little girl had disappeared.
However, the old man saw the opened box of amoxicillin on the wooden table not far away. In addition, beside him, there was a cane made from small branches. The old man stood on the chair with the cane. I got up, walked to the bed, looked at the child first, then heard the sound from outside the cave.
The old man walked to the entrance of the cave and saw Zhang Heng on the cliff. Zhang Heng was currently climbing up the mountain with a black box that seemed to be heavy on his back. However, his footsteps were still very relaxed and steady, and he didn't seem to be affected much. The impact of something on the back.
Zhang Heng also saw the old man standing at the entrance of the cave. He waved his hand as a greeting. After that, he kept walking and continued to climb up, but he did not return to the cave, but was not far away. Stopped on another stone wall. The old man knew that it was also a cave, but it was not as large as this place, and the terrain was steeper.
This is 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 that he has climbed into the cave, and he even made a ladder with Tengman for easy access.
In fact, if you count the 24 hours of stoppage time, this is already the seventh time Zhang Heng has entered and exited. The first few times he mainly cleaned the cave, and then brought in the props, food and daily necessities he brought in from the car.
Zhang Heng didn’t plan to live here permanently, because he didn’t have much time left, but he was still willing to spend some time to make himself comfortable under the existing conditions, and this time he replaced the battery on the polo car. Take it down and use it for power supply, and then he will also carry the engine and gasoline from the car here.
But after putting the battery in the new residence, he went back to the larger cave next to him and visited the old couple and the child who lived there.
Both men’s mental state seems to be much better than yesterday. The child’s high fever has gone away, but the old man’s broken leg wants to heal, but I don’t know how long it will take. Generally speaking, it takes two for adults to fracture. It will take three months to heal. As for the elderly, this time may be even longer.
Zhang Heng was worried that the two of them could not eat, and 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. , And then scooped out a bowl of rice from the rice tank with a cane, poured it into the iron pot, and scooped three bowls of water from the water tank. It looked like it was preparing to cook porridge, and even the bowl of Zhang Heng was also taken. Boiled.
When Zhang Heng saw this, he was no longer busy going down the mountain. He helped burn wood and drank the porridge in the cave. At this time, the child also got up from the bed. Zhang Heng also knew that he was last night. It turned out to be a girl who was feeding the medicine.
No way, the difference between men and women at a young age is not so obvious, and the little girl looks a little malnourished, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is dark and thin, no matter who comes, at first glance they will think it is. boy.
So Zhang Heng left another box of multivitamin tablets. Originally, he brought this thing just in case. He didn't have much use, so it was better to leave it to people who need it 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 live in the deep mountains, but just continued to carry things that could be used.
In the end, Zhang Heng not only put everything in his luggage into the newly found cave, but also removed all the parts that could be used on the car. The remaining useless parts were thrown into the small cave. In the stream, he was washed directly under the waterfall.
And from this day on, the old and the young, who had lived alone in the mountains, had one more neighbor.
However, this new neighbor doesn’t like to go out very much. Most of the time, he stays alone in his cave. Only when he eats does he come to the cave of the old man and the little girl. Although he opens his mouth more, the dishes are different. It is much richer than before. Zhang Heng brought a lot of snacks and instant foods that don’t need to be cooked.
In addition, with his survival skills in the wild, he can find a lot of wild vegetables and fruits as long as he goes out and strolls around. Together, they are far more than what he can eat from old people and girls.
So it didn’t take long for the little girl to fall in love with this young uncle who brought delicious food every time she came, but the look on this young uncle’s face looked calm no matter what, and sometimes it felt like a united person. stone.
