Chapter 80 Another Cripple
Food is the key to survival.
Today, Song Liyun went to Boss Mu to deliver acorn jelly, and specifically asked what the "Respect for the Elderly Hall" in Suijin Town meant?
Boss Mu didn't react strangely. He explained the details of the Elderly Care Hall, then said with a smile, "This is a matter in our Suijin Town. You and Xue Jun are not civilians, so it has nothing to do with you."
Song Liyun's expression was somewhat grim, and she forced a smile: "Everyone will grow old one day. This kind of kindness can be done by everyone, and it cannot be differentiated by household registration."
From Boss Mu's narration, Song Liyun learned more about the background of Suijin Town and gained a deeper understanding of it.
The town of Suijin, which had experienced a disaster, had no government and no clan head.
Although the population is over 200, most families are broken up.
Some elderly single people live together in a place called Jinglaotang.
He usually helps mediate disputes in the town and presides over various major events, and earns some money to make a living.
These elderly people who have lost their family members and are unable to work have a hard life.
Not only do they have to endure the torment in their hearts, but they also have to struggle to survive.
There was someone in the nursing home whom Song Liyun knew, the old man Zhang who had lost one hand.
Jin Sanchong came to steal things and used the excuse of the nursing home.
He said that the Song family was "rich but unkind" and did not provide any support to the nursing home, and he "couldn't stand it" and wanted to enforce justice on their behalf.
Although this is Jin Sanchong's excuse, it also reflects the true thoughts of some residents of Suijin Town.
At first, the Song brothers and sisters became military households and not only received land, but also occupied the best house in the town.
Although it was a haunted house that the townspeople could do nothing about, it was also the best in town.
The Song siblings lived in a haunted house but did not die. They sold acorn tofu every day and made a profit every day, so they could buy food and other things with ease.
Later, Xue Zhuang became a military household, lived in the town and opened a restaurant. Now he also has a card table. People come and go every day, and it has become the most lively place in the town.
These two families are outsiders, but they live a happy life, which is quite a stimulus to the original residents of the town.
Suijin Town used to be a farm, but after more than a decade of ups and downs, the people who remain in Suijin Town are no longer the simple farmers from decades ago, so there is no guarantee that no one will secretly plot against them.
In the blink of an eye, night falls again.
Heijin pushed open the door and slipped in, pointing outside to Song Liyun and shouting, "Hehe."
Song Liyun was putting the wine she had gotten from Xue Zhuang into bottles and nodded. "How many people are here?"
Heijin thought for a moment and raised a finger.
Here comes one!
Outside Baolinju, Han Dasha arrived before dark and knelt at the place where he met the "great immortal" last night.
It didn't snow tonight, but the ground was cold enough. He had been kneeling upright for half an hour, his face blue and black from the cold, and his whole body shivering.
This is a test for the Immortal himself, he must persevere.
Just when he was feeling a bit hopeless, the gate of Baolinju suddenly opened. Song Liyun stood at the door holding an oil lamp and said loudly:
"Hey! Who's that over there? Is it Han Dasha?"
Han Ming's ears moved and his face tightened. He had finally waited for this.
Others are afraid of "evil spirits", but he is not.
If he really did evil, the Song family, as slaves of the "Great Immortal", would definitely not live such a comfortable life.
Moreover, he had personally experienced that the "evil ghost" did not harm anyone at will, so he had won the bet.
As long as you can serve as a slave to the "Great Immortal", you can also live in a big house and never have to worry about food and clothing.
Looking up, I saw a girl's smiling face in the orange light.
Han Ming was certain that the girl from the Song family had arrived!
Song Liyun walked over slowly, holding a lantern, and stood in front of Han Ming. She smiled and said, "The Immortal asked me to pick you up!"
Han Ming was a little nervous at first, but he was delighted when he heard this: "Okay, okay, thank you very much, young lady."
He wanted to stand up, but he had been kneeling for too long, and as soon as he raised his leg, he knelt down again.
Song Liyun seemed to know that he couldn't stand up after kneeling for too long, so she handed him a wooden stick and said, "Use the stick to support yourself!"
Han Ming waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay."
After trying several times, he finally stood up and limped into the yard.
A stranger came today, and Song Zhenping also came out to greet him.
Han Ming is a middle-aged man, tall and strong, with a huge scar on his face that runs from the left to the right, looking scary.
Song Zhenping looked at it but didn't react.
There are many people with scars in Suijin Town, and he is no longer surprised by it.
Seeing this man staggering and looking like he had difficulty walking, I immediately felt sympathy for him.
My sister said that her family wanted to take in a hungry person, and it turned out that he was a disabled person with a severe limp.
There was ready-made acorn tofu in the kitchen. Song Zhenping had already simmered a small pot of it with oil and salt, and also heated up two multi-grain cakes with sugar, and brought them all to Han Ming.
Song Zhenping said politely: "Uncle Han, don't be polite. Just treat it as your own home and eat as you like. These are all prepared for you."
The first meal he had after entering the house was such a sumptuous dinner. Han Ming rubbed his legs and was so excited that he almost cried.
I have a big appetite, but the money I earn is not enough to buy food. There is no food in the house I live in. If mice come, they will cry and leave. That's why I decided to follow the immortal.
Seeing that the Song brothers and sisters were easy to get along with, Han Ming was secretly delighted, and felt that his quick decision was worth it.
Before Han Ming could calm down, Song Liyun brought him a small bowl of wine: "You caught a cold today. Drink some wine to warm yourself up."
Without even picking it up, the aroma of the wine wafted out, making Han Ming swallow his saliva.
He simply couldn't express the complicated feelings he felt at the moment: he was cold and hungry outside, but in this haunted house that everyone feared, he could eat and drink well as soon as he came in.
Song Zhenping had just been drunk, and the smell of alcohol made him want to vomit.
He pinched his nose and stared at the wine his second sister took out: No one in the family drank it before, so they never bought it. Where did Yun'er get it from?
Did he take something from the treasure bag again?
Didn’t I tell you before that you should try not to touch the things inside?
Han Ming was really hungry. He ate a bowl of acorn jelly, three sugar-coated multi-grain cakes, drank some wine, and finished Xiao An and Hei Jin's midnight snack.
Among them is Hei Jin’s favorite stewed potatoes.
If Song Liyun had not asked Hei Jin to accompany Xiao An in the side yard, Han Ming would have been torn to pieces on the spot.
After eating and drinking, Han Ming talked about business. He briefly told Song Zhenping the purpose of his visit.
Song Zhenping was stunned. He could feel the alcohol still lingering from the day, and his head was buzzing. "Yun'er, did you hear what he said? He, he wants to be our slave!"
Song Liyun said nothing and just looked at Han Ming.
Han Ming rubbed his stomach, burped, and shook his head: "Brother Song, I'm not a slave to you, I'm a slave to that person!"
He raised his chin, made an expression that said "you know", and said, "That's the one."
Song Zhenping looked confused and shook his head like Han Ming before hesitantly asking, "What does this mean?"
Han Ming lowered his voice and said, "Of course it's the Great Immortal! From now on, I can serve the Great Immortal just like you."
Song Zhenping was stunned: Was he a slave to the immortal?
Why does it feel wrong?
