Chapter 188: Gods 9
In fact, Sui Haoping didn’t know the answer to this question, but he didn’t want to go through it again.
"Do we have any other choice but to trust her? It's only three days."
"Yeah, only three days."
The captain sighed, huddled in a corner, and stared silently into the darkness.
They don't even know who they are. If they can end this, maybe they can recover their memories of their previous lives. Perhaps, their cycle of sinking into the sea is a kind of retribution...
The captain was stunned. Why would he think that? It didn't matter. As long as the result was good and they could all be redeemed, that was enough.
…
…
The morning breeze blew gently with a hint of chill, rustling the sparse leaves. The morning light filtered through the layers of leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground, alternating between light and dark.
"It's so expensive to go to the health center. I'll take you to the barefoot doctor to buy some medicine. Don't worry too much. It's not up to us to decide whether the patient can be saved or not."
"Hey, my second daughter is just too kind-hearted. What do you think is going on? She suddenly picked up someone and brought him back. Tell me about this... Hey!"
"Okay, don't think too much. I'll come find you after I finish making breakfast."
"Okay, I'll go back first."
Along with the sounds of doors opening and closing in the yard, a burst of hurried footsteps came to the door of the room, followed by a "dong dong" knock on the door.
"Daya, it's getting late. Hurry up and get up. We have to go to work and earn work points!"
The woman's voice was a little loud. Yu Qing in the room slowly opened his eyes and responded, "Okay, I'll get up right away."
"Then hurry up, Mom is going to cook first." After saying that, there was another sound of footsteps, probably heading to the kitchen.
In the room, Yu Qing sat up and looked around. There was only a yellow and old wardrobe with a mirror in the room, with several quilts stacked on top. The wooden bed she was lying on was also very small. Just these few things almost filled the entire room.
Yu Qing looked at the black cloth shoes beside the bed, was silent for two seconds, then put on the clothes placed at the head of the bed, a blue shirt full of patches.
As soon as the door opened, a sense of age hit me. It was a medium-sized yard with a kitchen on the left and two chickens on the right. Yu Qing's room was on the left, and there was another one on the right, which should be where her parents, who are now of different status, lived.
The materials used to build the house are not red bricks, and it looks almost like yellow mud from the outside. However, such a house is considered to belong to a wealthy family in the village.
It is summer now, and everyone wants to go to work in the morning before it is too hot, so the breakfast is relatively simple. When Chen Guihong came out after cooking, she saw Yu Qing standing there in a daze.
The girl was wearing a blue top and black pants, with two pigtails. Her skin was tanned due to long-term work, and she looked a little thin.
At this moment, she was standing in front of a pile of firewood, staring at it, wondering what she was thinking.
Chen Guihong walked up to her and pulled her: "Daya, what are you doing here? Are you feeling unwell or are you confused from sleep?"
In her impression, Daya is a very sensible child. She gets up very early every day and rushes to the production team to assign tasks after breakfast. She can earn eight work points a day!
So in today's special situation, she subconsciously thought that the child was sick or uncomfortable somewhere.
"I'm fine." Yu Qing looked away and said, "Mom, I heard that the girl next door picked up someone and took her home last night. Is that true?"
Chen Guihong touched her forehead and confirmed that she was okay before whispering, "Yes, and it was a man she picked up. What kind of a deal is this? Now everyone in the production team knows about it. Hey, Erniu is also stupid."
If you don't let anyone know, you can still give it away. But if someone sees this, not only will your reputation be ruined, but you can't let the person die at home. Otherwise, how will outsiders look at you? Will they say you killed the person because you picked him up?
This kind of thing is hard to explain, and Erniu is also confused. She didn't even check whether it was a boy or a girl, and just picked it up out of kindness. This is really a sin.
Yu Qing nodded: "How is that man doing?"
Chen Guihong's face turned pale when she heard this: "I'm telling you, you silly girl, this is none of your business, so don't rush into it and ask for trouble, okay?"
She took Yu Qing's hand and walked towards the kitchen. Without waiting for her to answer, she quickly instructed, "Mom knows you have a good relationship with Erniu, but you're not young anymore. Mom has even found a matchmaker. Don't mess around at this critical moment. Do you understand?"
Yu Qing followed her obediently, looking as if she had taken it in. "Got it."
Chen Guihong patted her hands in relief and said, "Eat first. Mom will go next door to check on your Aunt Zhang. She's a pitiful person too. Don't let her die at home."
"OK."
After Chen Guihong left home, Yu Qing sat on the small stool and stared at the breakfast on the table: three bowls of corn paste, a plate of sliced tomatoes without sugar, and a few cooked taro.
She picked up the corn paste, looked at it, and took a small sip. It tasted okay, but the unpolished corn paste was a little hard to swallow.
In the end, she didn't drink the bowl of corn paste, but ate some tomatoes and taro. The sound of people going to work spread throughout the village. Yu Qing washed up casually and went out.
Walking along the dirt road beside the farmland, there is a small wooden table. A woman is sitting there with a small notebook in her hand. The leader of the production team is standing next to her, touching his sparse hair and watching.
There was not much heavy work in the summer, so Yu Qing was assigned to weed in the cornfield. The man behind him was miserable, as he had to carry manure.
It just so happened that today was the day to pick up manure. The manure had been piled up for a week and was very plentiful and smelly, not to mention the hot summer. People who were not used to it would vomit for three days after entering.
Yu Qing put on work gloves, wrapped a black headscarf around her head, and followed several women and people of similar age to pull weeds in the cornfield.
In this era where transportation basically relies on walking and communication basically relies on shouting... the only entertainment is gossip about other people's affairs. People working in the cornfield are talking about Erniu picking up a man and bringing him home.
I don't know if they were used to it, but they didn't stop working while chatting and gossiping, and even worked very fast. There were also two or three of them working together, and after one person finished, they would help the other.
The captain who is guarding there usually turns a blind eye and pretends not to see it. As long as it doesn't delay the work and can be completed on time, you can do whatever you want.
Through the topics they talked about, Yu Qing roughly figured out the cause and process of the incident.
The protagonist of the story is Erniu, whose full name is Lin Lianhua. Lin Lianhua's family lives in poverty, and her mother, Aunt Zhang, is a notoriously sharp-tongued widow in the production team.
