Chapter 84: 11/96 sky light
11/96 sky light
This time, what I brought back from Shanghe Village was still a large pile of wild vegetables wrapped in plastic wrap. Huang liuzi reluctantly picked it for the last time, and the jam made was not as much as last time, but the taste has improved a little, and it can still sell well. Price.
People from Shanghe Village went to the valley to dig ginseng potatoes, and they had a bumper harvest. They only kept a small part, most of which were processed into dried ginseng potatoes and ginseng potato bread, and gave them to me in exchange for rice and sauerkraut. Originally, I was also qualified to go to the valley, but I didn’t go because I had a lot of things at hand. There will be plenty of time in the future, and I want to go again later.
It is very tiring to reverse things in the two worlds, but I can't stop. I have to maintain a good life for my parents, and I also have to feed the fifty or so people of Shanghe Village and live a good life. This is what I should do and what I must do.
When I went up from the basement to the first floor, my parents and they were still awake. They asked me how the situation on the other side was. I only briefly explained what I was doing in the opposite world this month, and gave them a few thick stacks. Small packets of photos and let them see for themselves.
My parents couldn't believe that the dilapidated village in the photo was the Luhe Village they knew before.
The yellow-faced, skinny, unkempt villagers are even more embarrassed than the photos I took before. The pained numbness of adults and the ignorant eyes of weak children in distress are heart-wrenching. The ugly and strong scary werewolf made my parents even more frightened. , they kept asking me about the details of what happened along the way, and they didn't feel relieved when they heard that I really wasn't hurt.
The world on the other side is too dangerous. My dad said that my current superpowers are enough for our family to live a prosperous life. In fact, there is no need for me to go to that wild and terrible place. Everything I do there is It's pointless, it's futile, my life is more important than everything.
How can it be in vain?
I have my son and my dog in that world. I can't live without that world. That world has made me who I am now. Without that world, I am nothing.
My parents were very anxious. When they heard that I was going to be responsible for feeding a whole village of more than 50 people, they thought that I was fantasizing.
The ginseng potatoes grown in Luhe Village are simply not enough to feed so many people, and my family’s savings can’t afford to feed more than 50 people. That’s not 50 chickens or sheep. It can be solved with fodder or forage. That’s 50 people. Living people, they cry and laugh, they need to eat and dress, can I really support them at any cost?
"Your original focus now should be preparing for the college entrance examination, and everything else is secondary. Think about it, when you go to college and go to other cities after the college entrance examination, can you still bring so many things every time? "My dad is trying very hard, hoping that I can see the reality clearly and don't carry a burden that I can't bear at all.
My thoughts are very different.
"What am I preparing for?" I asked my parents.
My dad said it's even worth asking?
"Of course you are preparing for the exam to get into a good university. After graduation, you can have a good job, earn more money, and take me and your mother out of this small county town to buy a house in a big city, marry a wife and have children to live a better life. "
Yes, I think so too. In this process, although I can look at the outside world and learn something new like Liang Jiangbo said, the most important thing is to leave this small county and go to a big city. Look, even living in a big city, the climatic conditions in our county are so bad that even Shanghe Village can't compare, not to mention the humid Luhe Village.
But now I am not short of money. I still have a big bag of gold coins from the other side. The big bag of gold coins is enough to buy the villagers for ten years. The specialties of the village are sold at a very cheap price in my house. The same price of wild vegetables cannot fill a person's stomach, but if the money is sold for rice, the family can eat for two or three days.
Shanghe Village is already cultivating more beet seedlings. The plan of cutting red lilac seeds, yellow lilac seeds and adding ginseng and potato fields has also been arranged in the schedule. As long as we can produce sweet water lettuce and other agricultural products, we can sell them in the canteen. Not to mention food, it is not difficult to be self-sufficient in a small amount.
Not to mention that the jewelry and handicrafts I make now are made of cheap and low-quality porcelain ornaments, stones and sand. After I deal with them, the value has doubled by dozens or hundreds of times. If I have the heart, there is no 'big money' to make enough to feed everyone. Next.
"Don't mention gold coins, our family thinks that it is very, very dangerous to secretly sell so many gold coins. People with discerning eyes are already suspicious of the relationship between our family's sudden wealth and gold coins. It's only a matter of time." My dad shook his head.
My parents and I had our own opinions and no one could convince anyone. In the end, we had to go back to our room to sleep.
I didn’t sleep very well that night, and many things came up in my mind. The shabby appearance of Luhe Village made me very uncomfortable.
I have a lot of affection for Luhe Village, which is the home I admit in my heart. Although I abandoned it in fear of danger, I felt very uncomfortable seeing it destroyed.
When I woke up at 5:00 in the morning, I had a terrible headache. I wondered if I was sick. I haven’t been sick even once in so many years, and I have never encountered a cold or cough. At this time, the sun hadn't risen yet, the lampposts in the yard were on, and the terrace was very dark. I wrapped a thin blanket and sat on the terrace to drink some juice. I felt a little better before I went downstairs.
My mother was already preparing breakfast, and in the beautiful light-filled kitchen, she was wearing an apron and chopping vegetables with a knife, which was very gentle, not at all like I remembered before.
"Mom..." I hugged her from behind.
"What's the matter, are you not feeling well?" my mother asked me back.
"Well, my head hurts a bit, I didn't sleep well." I lowered my head and put my face on her shoulder, feeling the firm warmth, unlike my dad's skinny, leaning on my mother made me feel more secure.
"Would you like to take some anti-inflammatories for a cold?"
"No, I don't have a cold."
My mother wiped her hands and touched my forehead: "It's not hot, why don't you ask for a day off and don't go to school today?"
"I can go to school, But I don't want to ride a bicycle, let Liang Jiangbo pick me up." I want to see Liang Jiangbo.
My mother nodded, "Alright."
I called Liang Jiangbo and said that I was a little uncomfortable and didn't want to ride a bicycle. I asked him to come pick me up at my house. Liang Jiangbo asked me if I wanted to ask his dad to drive us to school without the cold air.
"No, I just want you to take
me." "Okay, wait for me." Liang Jiangbo hung up the phone, and my mother made Liang Jiangbo's breakfast together.
I had nothing to do, so I sat on the sofa in a daze, holding a ball of crystal in my hand to watch it slowly change shape.
I am seventeen years old, and I am an adult in my twenties. I rarely act like a spoiled child, but I am used to wanting to be taken care of when I am not feeling well.
About ten minutes later, the door of my house opened, Liang Jiangbo's bicycle parked in my yard, and I got up to greet him.
"Are you feeling bad?" Liang Jiangbo reached out and touched my forehead when he saw that I was still wearing pajamas and slippers.
"It's much better after sitting for a while," I laughed too. I only felt uncomfortable for a while when I woke up in the morning, but now it's not that uncomfortable anymore: "Come on for breakfast."
"Okay!" Liang Jiangbo took off his coat and hung it up, changing Put on his slippers, take me to say hello to my mother, and then go to the small restaurant with me and sit down.
My dad came out yawning and rubbing his hair. He was very happy to see Liang Jiangbo, and the four of us had breakfast while talking and laughing.
"Uncle, can I take Wang Kai to the mountains this Saturday? The news says there is a meteor shower, we want to go see it." Liang Jiangbo asked my dad while drinking lean meat porridge at the dinner table.
"Meteor shower?" I basically don't watch TV and don't know that.
"Well, the mountain top of my mother's hometown is very high. It's beautiful to see the stars there at night. I watched it when I was a child. This time I will show you the meteor shower. It is said to be the most spectacular one in recent years!" Liang Jiangbo said that fortunately he was there The meteor shower was on Saturday night, otherwise he would be on leave.
"How bad is it to ask for leave?" I said that I shouldn't ask for leave to delay class, but I couldn't expect it in my heart. What is the meteor shower like? I haven't seen a meteor yet, it must be beautiful, how beautiful a meteor like rain should be.
I was in a good mood and my appetite was good. We sat down on the beam in front of Liang Jiangbo's racing car to go to school. On the way, we were both in a good mood and discussed what to bring when we went out.
Although I have my own bicycle, I like Liang Jiangbo to carry me very much. I used to sit on the front beam when he carried me, right in his arms. It was very comfortable. Now I have become a big fool. He carried me very comfortably. It is difficult to ride a bike, and such opportunities are becoming less and less, so I cherish every time.
Going to school is an endless bombardment of mock exams and practice questions. Tian Xin was so envious when he heard that we were going to watch the meteor shower. Unfortunately, this weekend, his grandmother passed away for the second anniversary. Go with me too.
"My hometown is not on the mountain, I hope I can see the stars at night." Tian Xin could only comfort himself, he said that he would lie on the roof of his hometown when he was lucky, and he could see it if he was lucky.
Liang Jiangbo and I were inseparable. Liang Jiangbo bought an astronomy popularization atlas introducing the starry sky and flipped through it to identify various constellations. When we were talking to each other while holding the book in class, we were found and reprimanded once by the teacher. Fortunately, we did not take the book. If it is confiscated, the two of us will be more restrained.
At night, we turned off all the lights in the yard, sat on the roof of our glass greenhouse and looked up at the stars, and used a flashlight to illuminate the contents of the book to identify the constellations.
The starry sky is really beautiful, and the blue-black sky has broken diamonds like stars all over it, which makes people fascinated.
"Damn it! Meteor!" I shot Liang Jiangbo in surprise.
"Make a wish!" Liang Jiangbo also pushed me with his elbow.
We hurriedly made a wish with our hands in each other's hands, and we didn't know if we could catch up so slowly.
The starry sky is so beautiful, we have recognized many distinctive constellations, especially the "Perseus" we are most concerned about, because this meteor shower is around it.
With expectations, the remaining days of the week pass quickly. My dad is at home to watch the store, and my mother rides a motorcycle every day to go out to see the goods and negotiate the price. I have to feed more than 50 people in the whole village. There are piles of vegetables, water, clothes and daily necessities. I don't have time to buy them, so I have to rely on my mother.
Shanghe Village is now not only my Shanghe Village, but also my parents' Shanghe Village. Now they can know several villagers by looking at the photos. Although they only know each other through my oral knowledge, they still feel a little cordial in their hearts. I don't want Shanghe Village to be destroyed by werewolves.
They are both proud and sigh of me that their stupid son who practiced medicine without a license uses surgical tools to "treat" people without anesthesia.
It's really hard to connect the old man Galle's mental appearance in the previous photos with the dying and delirious appearance in the photos now. Human life is inherently fragile, especially in the opposite world.
The little boy whose rotten eyeball was removed by me is recovering slightly better, and the eye socket is still stuffed with gauze, but his life is no longer in danger. If he is in good condition, he can still live well in the future. The children of the next world, teach them some useful knowledge, so that they can live a better life.
Not only did my mother buy bulky, broken and defective clothing, but she also collected old clothes and shoes from her contacts.
My mother told people that she wanted to "donate to poor mountainous areas", which is not a lie, because the living conditions of the villagers in Shanghe Village may not have been comparable to those of poor mountainous areas before, and the worn-out clothes are not acceptable to ordinary people. , but it's all good things for the people of Shanghe Village.
Having my mother help me collect things has saved me a lot of trouble. The food and another batch of Chinese cabbage and potatoes are already on order. They will be delivered to my house at the end of the month, which is larger than the last time. Tube full.
Such a big move in our family has also made many interested people scratch their ears and cheeks with curiosity. Now my parents have a sense of precaution and are no longer willing to disclose the details to others. Those people can't ask anything if they want to ask.
Rice, flour, oil and salt, clothes, shoes and socks, tools and daily necessities, we have prepared a long list of things that are enough to open a small market, they are the guarantee of a new life in Shanghe Village.
I got restless on Friday night, packed my small suitcase and went to bed happily, waiting for Liang Jiangbo to pick me up at my house tomorrow morning. We also had to take the exam on Saturday in our third year of high school, but his father asked us both to take leave from school and sent us to Liang Jiangbo's mother's home early in the morning. His mother happened to be returning home to visit relatives.
