"Me? I have a lot of stories. If you want to listen, I might not be able to finish telling you even in ten days and ten nights." Yuan Fangguo said with a smile.
He was actually a little exhausted, but seeing that Song Yiting was able to quickly adjust her mood and took the initiative to tell him some interesting stories from the past, he cheered up and told Song Yiting about his childhood.
"Actually, I'm a very naughty person. When I was a child, I once played a trick on my younger brother. I asked him to close his eyes and told him I would give him something delicious. He actually closed his eyes, and I immediately threw a chili pepper into his mouth. My brother bit it hard, and his eyes narrowed into a line immediately due to the spiciness. Then I quickly handed him a bowl of water and asked him to drink it. He didn't think much about it and took a big gulp. He almost finished the bowl of water, but he spit it all out before he could swallow it." Recalling the stories that happened in his childhood, Yuan Fangguo felt that his childhood was the most interesting. Although his family was poor and they could only eat meat during festivals, at least he didn't have any worries at that time and was happy all day long.
"Why doesn't your brother swallow the water?" Song Yiting asked curiously.
Yuan Fangguo recalled the scene at that time, and before he could say anything, he couldn't help laughing, "Actually, I added half a packet of salt to that bowl of water."
When Song Yiting heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yuan Fangguo's mind naturally recalled the scene that night when his pants were taken off and his father pressed him on a bench and beat him with a bamboo stick. That beating was so unforgettable for him that he had to lie in bed for several days before he could get out of bed.
"Did your family beat you?" Song Yiting asked.
"Of course I did. They took off my pants and beat me with a two-finger-wide bamboo stick. I couldn't get out of bed for a week."
"Oh my God, he was beaten so badly?" Song Yiting said with a frown.
"Which rural child hasn't been beaten? There's an old saying in my hometown: 'Good people are made of gold bars.'"
"I know Gold Bar, that's Banzhu, right?"
"Yes, when that thing is waving in the air, it makes a sound of wind. You can imagine how it would feel if it hits your butt." Yuan Fangguo said with a wry smile.
"Your countryside is still more fun than our city." Song Yiting also has cousins who live in the countryside, and she goes there to play during the winter and summer vacations. Every time she goes to the countryside, she feels that it is completely different from the last time.
"You've never lived in the countryside, so you don't know how hard life is for people there. When we were young, we could only eat meat during festivals or during busy farming seasons. City dwellers like you should be able to eat meat every now and then, right?"
Song Yiting didn't deny it. "If you can't eat meat, you can catch fish. My cousins like to catch fish. They catch several at a time and bring them back at night to cook. That's like meat."
"That's because your cousin's house is next to the river. Let me put it this way, we live halfway up the mountain, and it takes two hours to get down. When I was a kid, I had so much farm work to do that I didn't even bother running around for half a day to catch fish in the river down the mountain."
"That's true. Do you have anything else interesting?" Song Yiting asked.
"Of course there are more in the countryside..." Yuan Fangguo told Song Yiting another rather magical story. It was about a summer ten years ago when the weather was dry in his hometown. At noon, he passed by a cave halfway up the hillside in his hometown and saw a large group of elderly people burning incense and praying to Buddha for rain. There was a legend in his hometown that the Dragon King lived in this cave. At that time, he was very curious and took his second brother to take a look there and secretly ate some tribute fruits. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the previously clear sky was suddenly replaced by dark clouds, and heavy rain fell from the sky, relieving the previous drought.
"No way, it's so magical." Song Yiting felt as if she was listening to a myth and found it quite incredible.
"That's the truth. I was also very surprised at the time. Now when I think about it, I'm actually a little scared."
"Why are you scared?" Song Yiting asked curiously.
"I've always wanted to go into that cave, but I've never done it. What if I really went in and found a dragon inside? Don't you think I'd be scared?"
"That's true, but there are no dragons in this world. Those are just superstitions." Song Yiting was timid. She said this just to stop herself from feeling afraid.
Yuan Fangguo smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up an apple next to him and started peeling it for Song Yiting.
This time she ate the apple completely.
Unconsciously, it was getting dark. Yuan Fangguo wanted to say goodbye and leave several times, but when he saw Song Yiting's eyes full of nostalgia for him, he choked back the words that were about to come out of his throat.
Since I chose to accompany Song Yiting, I naturally have to face the guilt towards my girlfriend.
Will my girlfriend find out this time?
When he thought of this problem, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but be shocked. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that his girlfriend would not see him this time. After all, it was during working hours in Song Yiting's community. But he thought again, if he was really seen by his girlfriend, he would be really unlucky.
That night, Song Yiting slept on the large hospital bed, while he slept on the sofa in the living room outside.
The two of them didn't speak, but from the subtle sounds coming from the air, he could still feel that Song Yiting couldn't sleep at all and kept tossing and turning in bed.
Naturally, he couldn't sleep either. His mind was in a mess. He was thinking about business matters, relationships, and He Yingjie's affairs...
In short, he didn't feel sleepy at all that night, and it was not until around four o'clock that he fell asleep for a while.
After Yuan Fangguo got up, he gently pushed open the door of the ward and found that Song Yiting was already asleep. Seeing this, he did not disturb Song Yiting anymore. After gently closing the door, he explained to the doctor and nurse on duty and drove away.
No matter what, although He Yingjie was a domineering and strong person, and had been very rude and disrespectful to him in the past, when Yuan Fangguo thought about how she took all the responsibility on herself this time, all his previous bad impressions of her disappeared.
He planned to ask Bai Yanfei for help.
Bai Yanfei was as busy as a dog and didn't even have time to breathe. It was not until almost noon that he had time to see him.
After listening to his request, Bai Yanfei nodded and said that he would do his best to help.
Not only that, Yuan Fangguo also found a well-known lawyer in the mainland for He Yingjie through Lin Xianguang.
