"Don't make it so sad!"
Su Tong laughed, "Let me tell you something interesting!"
As he spoke, he took out the eight hundred and eighty yuan from his pocket.
Upon hearing this, Su Ruyi's eyes widened: "This money came downstream? My master predicted it and told you to wait and collect it?"
Su Tong nodded: "Isn't it amazing? I feel like all the education I've received in my life, my whole... way of thinking, has been completely overturned!"
As he spoke, he divided the money into two equal parts: "Here, this half is for you!"
Su Ruyi hurriedly waved her hand: "Fourth Brother, this won't do! Master said that others can't use it. If you give it to me, I dare not spend it!"
As she spoke, she jumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and took out three deposit slips for one thousand yuan each from the middle drawer under the kang: "Fourth Brother, this is the money you deposited with me for those three exams. It doesn't seem safe here now, you should take it back!"
"You left this deposit slip here. That female thief didn't steal it?" Su Tong raised his eyebrows in surprise. "I've been afraid to ask you about the deposit slip, afraid of hurting your feelings, but I didn't dare to tell you..."
"I stuck the deposit slip under the drawer; she couldn't find it. I put it here after I changed the lock. Fourth Brother, keep it close to your body. There are many people on the train, so don't let it show!" Su Ruyi instructed.
"Okay." Su Tong put the deposit slip into the hidden pocket of his vest, and also put the eight hundred and eighty yuan in.
Fortunately, his clothes were loose, so the bulge wasn't visible.
Su Ruyi then handed him the net bag containing Su Jin's belongings: "This is the set of clothes Su Jin lent you. I don't know if the shoes and socks were borrowed either, but I'm getting them back—but I haven't washed them!"
Su Tong took it and sighed, "How...is he?"
Su Ruyi shook her head: "General Shen's bodyguard said that he might be sent to the newly discovered coal mine."
Su Tong was silent for a moment: "That's fine too. He's strong and cowardly, so he might actually do well at the coal mine."
!
Su Ruyi thought about it and realized that it might really be true.
Su Tong mustered his spirits again: "Ruyi, I'm going to Sanhe County in a bit! I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things for you, Heping, and Changzi, and then I'll go to the state-run restaurant to bring some dishes for Grandpa Jin. I'll also prepare some dry food for the way back. Is there anything else you want to buy?"
"Fourth Brother, I'll go with you!" Su Ruyi said, and went to find Li Wang.
Li Wang borrowed a bicycle again.
The brother and sister, each on a bicycle with a string of lunchboxes hanging from the handlebars, wearing large straw hats, went to Sanhe County under the blazing sun.
...
The back mountain.
Su Qiaoqiao led everyone to the place where Zhong Misu had fallen.
Zhong Misu lay at the foot of the low cliff, his face covered with a few leaves that he could reach.
Hearing that someone was coming, he squinted with difficulty and looked at everyone through the gaps in the leaves.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Shen Heping frowned: "How...did he fall down?"
There is indeed a very obvious cliff here, with a buffer zone a few steps away.
No one with normal vision could fall down.
Everyone's suspicious gazes turned to Su Qiaoqiao.
Zhong Misu hurriedly said from below, "I accidentally slipped."
The two hunters were father and son. The older hunter looked around at the grass and said, "There are no signs of slipping. Comrade, don't be afraid. If someone has harmed you, we're all here. Just tell us and we'll help you!"
"Old man, what do you mean?!"
Su Qiaoqiao understood, "He just fell down because he was blind. You mean I pushed him?"
The young hunter, only seventeen or eighteen years old, was furious to see his father being talked back to by a little girl. He shoved Su Qiaoqiao to the ground, saying, "How dare you talk like that, little girl? We came here to help out of kindness!"
Su Qiaoqiao was shoved in the chest by him and immediately exploded: "You filthy scoundrel, you dare to lay a hand on me in public! You wait, I'm going to call the police to have you arrested and executed!"
The old hunter and the young hunter exchanged a glance, then turned and left without a word.
Jiang Aiguo quickly stopped the two: "Uncle Ding, Brother Er Mang, don't go, don't go! We can't get Zhong Zhiqing here!"
Li Wang also said, "Don't take it personally with that little girl, she's just a brainless idiot!"
Su Qiaoqiao sat on the ground, patting the dirt and bursting into tears: "You all bullied me! I hate this place! I hate you all!!!"
After saying that, she suddenly scrambled to her feet and ran down the mountain.
Zhong Misu lay at the bottom of the low cliff, and he could hear every word the people above said clearly.
Five lifetimes have passed. One lifetime in the human world plus reincarnation equals a hundred years.
Five hundred years have passed... It seems this final attempt will ultimately fail.
Fate can really be cruel.
He lay on the ground, motionless, tears streaming down his face.
The male educated youths above were still trying to persuade the two hunters.
Whether it was the lure of work points or a change of heart after being persuaded, the two hunters finally stopped struggling to leave.
After a rustling sound, the two ropes were lowered down shortly afterward.
The broken ends of one of the ropes slapped against Zhong Misu's face repeatedly.
The young hunter was climbing down another rope nearby.
He said to Zhong Misu in a strange tone, "Hey, hold on tighter to the rope!"
Zhong Misu didn't make a move, but smiled at the little hunter.
The rope continued to whip Zhong Misu's face.
The young hunter asked suspiciously, "His arm is broken too?"
In fact, Zhong Misu was already completely despondent at this point.
The young hunter quickly climbed down the low cliff and checked Zhong Misu's injuries.
"Isn't this arm fine? Did the fall cause brain damage?"
While muttering to himself, he first used tree branches to secure Zhong Misu's broken leg, then wrapped a rope around his waist and tied it tightly.
"Don't pull yourself, just let the people above pull! If you pull, it'll be like a thousand-pound weight! Understand?"
The little hunter gave instructions.
"Thanks!"
Zhong Misu smiled at him.
With everyone working together and under the old hunter's commands, the people above quickly pulled the two up.
By this time, the old hunter had already cut down two small tree trunks, each over two meters long, neither too thick nor too thin, to be used as handrails on both sides of the stretcher.
Then, the ropes were pulled back and wrapped around the two ropes a few times horizontally and vertically to form a rope net, and a simple stretcher was completed.
Carrying people down the mountain was extremely difficult.
The two hunters rescued the man, instructed Jiang Aiguo to return the rope, and then went down the mountain.
Jiang Aiguo and Hu Zhenbo lifted the stretcher.
Before long, the two men were exhausted, and Shen Heping and Ji Xuchang took their place.
A while later, it was Sun Shengtian and Li Wang's turn.
Everyone was exhausted, covered in sweat, and panting heavily.
