Chapter 20 (1/2)
Hearing the sound, Yu Qingze and Chang Hao were stunned.
Chang Le rushed over. At the moment when the boss in black grabbed Chang Hao's back collar, the umbrella in his hand also threw out and hit the man in black. Taking advantage of the man's shelter from the umbrella, he rushed to push the man away.
With his strength and impatience, he pushed the man away by a foot. The man was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground. He was stunned.
Chang Le quickly pulled Chang Hao up, looked up and down, and anxiously gestured to ask him how he was.
Chang Hao was still immersed in the shock of hearing his brother's voice just now. Seeing his brother's gesture, he felt whether it was his own illusion just now? Didn't his brother call his name just now? Why now
After a while, he realized that he was in a critical situation and quickly said, ”brother, I'm fine. I just got hit on the back.”
Chang Le listened, a little relieved and hugged him tightly.
Over there, Yu Qingze was stunned for a while and went to his senses. Just this time, the shoulder pole in his hand was thrown away by a man in black. The pain in his hand made him come back to his senses. He quickly stretched out his arm to block the other party's stick, kicked another man away, turned his head, but found that the boss in black had climbed up and angrily chopped at Changle with a firewood knife.
”Brother Le! Be careful! ” Yu Qingze shouted. Ignoring the stick behind him, he jumped at Changle with the fastest speed in his history.
Changle and Chang Hao were put down.
”Oh!” Yu Qingze groaned, feeling a stabbing pain in his left shoulder and being cut off.
”Brother Yu!” Chang Hao screamed, and then saw the man in black cut over again. He quickly shouted, ”be careful behind!”
Changle and his brother were thrown to the ground by Yu Qingze. At this time, he also saw the boss in black cut again, stretched out his foot and kicked the boss in black temporarily. Then he picked up his brother's kitchen knife and threw it at the man.
The boss in black didn't dodge in time. His left arm was cut by the flying kitchen knife, and blood gushed out immediately.
He was angry and yelled at several stunned younger brothers: ”what are you doing? Hit me to death! ”
Those younger brothers were stunned just now. They would be roared, wake up in an instant, and immediately came over with a stick.
At this time, the three of Yu Qingze got up. The two brothers also found that Yu Qingze's left back shoulder had been cut. The exposed knife edge was bloody and soaked a large piece of clothes.
Chang Le's eyes turned red. He picked up the sunshade on one side as a horizontal chest and blocked Yu Qingze and his brother behind him. He had the momentum that one man should be the Guan and ten thousand men should not open.
Yu Qingze's left shoulder hurt badly, but this meeting was not a time for pain, and those people came around again. He bared his teeth, looked around, picked up a barrel and stood on Changle's left. Chang Hao also picked up a ”weapon”, a small stool in his left hand and a wooden basin in his right hand.
”Go!” The boss in black covered his left arm and roared.
The younger brothers looked at each other. The current situation obviously exceeded their expectations, but the boss said something, and they rushed up together.
Yu Qingze and Changle blocked Chang Hao behind them and fought with the black masked man opposite.
Chang Hao learned to be smart. He followed Yu Qingze and threw the stool and wooden basin in his hand at the enemy. After throwing them, he picked up the stones on the ground and threw them, trying to disturb the enemy's sight and let his own side have an opportunity to take advantage of them.
The chaos continued for a while until a figure appeared at the other end of the road.
That man is Yu Dahe from Niutou village. He has been working as a porter on the wharf in the north of the city these days. Now he has just left work.
He was carrying a shoulder pole with a bag of things strung on it. He saw someone fighting in front and wanted to go around, but the next moment, he found that the two brothers of Changle in the same village and Yu Qingze who lived in Changle's house were fighting.
He immediately threw his pocket, ran quickly with the shoulder pole, rushed into the battle circle, waved the shoulder pole and began to beat people.
He is tall, has been doing farm work all year round, has developed a body of tendon flesh, is full of strength, and beats people very rudely.
People on both sides were confused at first. Who is this person?
Chang Hao saw the visitor first. He was surprised and shouted, ”brother Dahe!”
Yu Qingze and Chang Le looked over, and the river just joined them while playing. They asked, ”what's the matter?”
Yu Qingze replied, ”I don't know. I robbed!”
The river frowned and didn't speak again, but he used more strength in his hands.
With the help of Yu Dahe, Yu Qingze and his team soon gained the upper hand.
Later, the men were beaten so loudly that two of them couldn't hang their face towels and lost them.
The river looked at the two men's faces and frowned.
The boss in black looked bad to them and shouted angrily, ”go!”
Six men in black fled in dismay.
Yu Qingze was relieved to see the man in black running away.
Chang Le lost his sunshade and immediately went to Yu Qingze. He saw that the wound on his left shoulder was bleeding and dyed half of his clothes red. He gestured anxiously to ask him how he was.
Chang Hao immediately ran over and said, ”brother Yu, how are you? My brother said, ”let's go to the city to find a doctor.”
”Hiss...” his spirit relaxed and the pain on his shoulder became clear. Yu Qingze frowned and looked back. He couldn't see clearly, but he thought it should be just a flesh wound, not a bone.
”I'm fine, a little hurt.” Compared with the injury, he was more concerned about another problem. He looked at Chang Le and said, ”brother Le, you just shouted Xiao Hao. Can you speak?”
Hearing this, Chang Hao was also very excited and said, ”yes, brother, can you talk? You call me again? ”
Chang Le looked at Yu Qingze and his brother, shook his head and made a gesture: did I speak just now?
Yu Qingze:
Chang Hao:
On the side of the river: can brother Le talk?
Looking at Chang Le's confused face, Yu Qingze frowned and hesitated: ”you, don't you know?”
Chang Le shook his head. He really didn't know.
Yu Qingze didn't give up and asked, ”you really don't feel anything?”
Chang Le frowned. He found that his throat hurt a little. He reached out and touched his throat, and then made a gesture. Chang Hao translated.
Yu Qingze's eyes brightened, ”do you have a sore throat? That's it. That means you really made a sound just now. ”
Changle looked suspicious.
”Try again, can you say it?” Yu Qingze encouraged.
Hearing the speech, Chang Hao's eyes lit up and looked at his brother expectantly.
Even the river is full of expectations.
Chang Le looked at the three people and felt a little excited. He opened his mouth and tried to say something. However, his throat was sore, but only his breath came out and there was no sound.
Chang Le looked at them apologetically, shook his hand and said he couldn't say it.
”Brother, try again, try again?” Chang Hao grabbed his brother's arm and begged.
The desire in his brother's eyes was too obvious. Changle always hurt his brother, so he tried to say it again, but the result was the same.
Chang Hao's eyes darkened. He thought his brother could talk in the future. He could hear his brother calling his name every day and chat with his brother
Chang Le touched his brother's head and felt some love for him. He had experienced this disappointment many times, so he couldn't make a sound. He was used to it, just as usual. However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. My brother had this hope for the first time, but he couldn't satisfy him.
Yu Qingze frowned and wondered.
The river also looked disappointed and discouraged.
Chang Le glanced at them, smiled apologetically, then pointed to Yu Qingze's wound and made two gestures.
Chang Hao: ”brother Yu, my brother said we should go to the city and find a doctor for you.”
Yu Qingze shook his head and said, ”don't go to the city. It's closer to the village. Just go back and ask Dr. Yu to see it.”
Chang Le looked at the wound. It was at least three inches long. He shook his head and disagreed. He gestured that he must go to the city to find a doctor. Doctor Yu in the village didn't have all the herbs. It was better and more appropriate for a doctor in the city.
Yu Qingze comforted him and said, ”brother Le, I'm fine. Just now, I've been bleeding a little. Now you can simply bandage me. I won't move. I'll stop bleeding later. We hurry to pack up and go home. Grandpa should wait. ”
Yu Qingze simply took off his clothes, made them into a long strip, bypassed his shoulders, armpits and neck, and asked Chang Le to wrap the wound for him.
Chang Le wrapped up the wound and looked at him with a frown. Such a big wound hurts and is terrible.
”It's really all right, I promise!” Yu Qingze patted Changle's arm and said, ”but if I don't go back, my blood will flow more.”
Hearing the speech, Chang Le quickly nodded and turned to pick up the scattered things quickly and tidy them up again.
”Is this your money bag?” The river came with a money bag, which he had just found on the ground.
”It's mine. Thank you, brother Dahe. If we hadn't met you today, we wouldn't know what to do.” Yu Qingze took the money bag and put it in his arms to thank the river.
The river scratched his head, glanced at Chang Le and said, ”you're welcome because everyone is from the same village. Go back quickly. Your wound is very long. You should deal with it quickly. ”
Yu Qingze nodded.
Changle put away his things and came over. He made a gesture to the river. Changhao said he meant to thank the river.
The river looked at Changle, lowered his head, waved his hand and whispered, ”no, you're welcome.”
Yu Qingze picked his eyebrows. How do you feel the river
When everything was ready, Dahe helped them drag the cart. Chang Le pulled the cart and several people walked home.
Along the way, Yu Qingze didn't think about being robbed, but kept thinking about Changle.
In fact, Chang Le's pronunciation was not clear, more like the pronunciation of ”Ao”, but Yu Qingze knew that in that case, Chang Le must be calling his brother's name - ”Hao”.
He always thought that Changle was born unable to speak. Unexpectedly, he was able to speak.
But
However, from the previous attempt, Changle can't say it now.
Yu Qingze glanced at Changle walking in front of him with a small cart, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Changle's voice before... Well, it's really not good. It's rough and hoarse. It's like an old blower being sounded, and it's like a lot of coarse sand stir frying in a pot. Even if yu Qingze has a thick filter, he's embarrassed to say that his voice is good without conscience, not even a smoked voice.
However, for a person who can't speak all year round, even if the voice is ugly, it is as beautiful as nature at the moment.
Yu Qingze thought, this voice, if you guessed correctly, it should be the vocal cord injury. Just don't know what kind of injury can cause a person to lose his voice?
He looked at Chang Hao, who was closely following Chang Le.
Obviously, the little boy was shocked at his brother's ability to speak, but after a while, he was disappointed again. Now he just walked quietly with Changle and looked at his brother from time to time. The expression on his face was very tangled. It was estimated that he wanted to ask something, but he didn't know whether to ask it or not.
Find time, talk to Grandpa Chang, find out, and then ask a better doctor to show Chang Le. Yu Qingze thought.
Thinking all the way, I got home unconsciously.
When he got home, Grandpa Chang was shocked when he saw that half of Yu Qingze's body was full of blood. Knowing that something had happened, he quickly asked the river to ask for a doctor, then fetched a basin of water from the kitchen, wrung out the cloth towel and wiped Yu Qingze's face first.
”What's going on? How did you get so badly hurt? ” Looking at the blood, Grandpa Chang frowned.
Changle went to the kitchen to wash his hands and face, then returned to the main room to take the cloth towel in Yu Qingze's hand, changed a basin of water and wiped the blood off Yu Qingze's back. He didn't move the clothes wrapped around the wound. The doctor didn't come. He was afraid that he would bleed again as soon as he took them off.
”Please, brother le.” Yu Qingze thanked Chang Yue and said to Grandpa: ”when I came back, I met the robber.”
”Robbed?” Grandpa Chang was surprised, ”for so many years, I seldom heard that someone was robbed on this road.”
Yu Qingze said, ”it may be the Zhongyuan Festival.”
Grandpa Chang was silent for a moment, and then said, ”Alas, the next time you encounter robbery, you can give them the money directly. Those people don't want to die. Money, things outside the body, and your own body are the most important!”
Chang Hao came over after washing his face. Hearing this, he replied, ”no, Grandpa. Brother Yu gave them the money first.”
Grandpa Chang didn't understand, ”how did you get hurt?”
Chang Hao said angrily, ”those people want to leave my brother!”
Grandpa Chang was stunned first, and then he was angry, ”what? Those mountain bandits, those bastards, unexpectedly... ”
Grandpa Chang was so angry that he couldn't speak completely, and his hands kept shaking.
Chang Hao said again, ”so brother Yu fought with them!”
Grandpa Chang looked at Changle. His grandson was well in front of him and was not hurt. Then he turned his head and grabbed Yu Qingze's hand gratefully and thanked him: ”ah Ze, thank you very much. Fortunately you are here, otherwise, otherwise...”
Then grandpa Chang's eyes turned red. He really couldn't imagine that Changle would be killed by the mountain bandits
”Grandpa, don't thank me. It's right.” Yu Qingze patted grandpa Chang's hand with his right hand to comfort the old man.
Chang Hao added, ”Grandpa, thank brother Dahe. He helped us beat the mountain bandits away.”
”Well, well, Grandpa will thank him later.” Grandpa Chang touched his grandson's head and replied.
Soon the river came with the doctor.
The doctor over there cleaned Yu Qingze's wound and applied medicine to bandage it. Grandpa Chang here took the river and thanked him.
Dahe is a simple and straightforward man. He is usually silent in the village. He won't say any polite words. He just waved his hand and said he didn't have to thank him.
After the doctor applied the medicine and wrapped it up, he wrote a prescription and asked Chang Le to follow him back to get the medicine. In hot weather, he should drink some medicine to prevent infection.
The river was waiting. When the doctor and Chang Le left, he didn't go back.
Grandpa Chang sent the doctor away and said to Dahe, ”Dahe, it's hard for you today. Stay for dinner in the evening.”
”I won't eat any more.” Dahe shook his head and was silent for a while. Then he looked up and asked Yu Qingze, ”brother Azer, have you offended anyone?”
Yu Qingze raised his eyes and asked, ”why do you ask?”
The river frowned and replied, ”there are two people inside whose face towels have fallen off. I know them. They are small gangsters who spend all year in the city. When did you offend them? ”
Yu Qingze wondered, ”little gangster? Not a mountain bandit? ”
The river replied with certainty, ”no, it's just gangsters. I can often see them at the wharf.”
Not a mountain bandit, but a little gangster?
Yu Qingze frowned and said, ”we didn't offend anyone. If we insist, a man came to our snack stand yesterday to make trouble and want to steal money, but we didn't succeed.”
Grandpa Chang guessed, ”it may be a group, not necessarily.”
The river frowned and said, ”as far as I know, those gangsters never pay for food. They blatantly eat free food. They don't deliberately find fault and steal money. They ask for money directly or masked. Many small bosses on the street dare to be angry, but they don't dare to offend them. They're afraid that they'll be in endless trouble.”
Hearing the speech, Yu Qingze couldn't help thinking.
