C39 (1/2)
”Xiaobei, you're injured, let's go to the hospital.”
Huang Ying ran over and saw that Bai Xiaobei's hands were bleeding.
Bai Xiaobei looked at his hands. The wound was a little deep, and he could clearly feel that the wound was continuously healing. If he went to the hospital like this, it would be troublesome if he was targeted like a little mouse.
”You guys go back first. In the future, don't wander around. I'll get Fatty to send me back. Don't tell anyone about what happened today.”
Fortunately, it had happened too quickly, and the fight had only ended in less than a minute. Thus, he had not noticed many people and was afraid of causing trouble. Thus, he did not dare to stay here any longer.
Not daring to stay, Bai Xiaobei called out the fatty.
The fatty ran out with a face full of red light, and said excitedly: ”Xiaobei, hahaha … Bo Yunling's face is still as ugly as a monkey's ass now, spending money to suffer … Eh, your hand is injured? What's going on? ”
The excited Fatty was startled when he saw the bloody hands.
”It's fine, cut some skin. Come, let's go back. Huang Ying, we will be leaving first. We will contact you again if there's anything else.”
Pulling the fatty and hurriedly leaving, Ying Han was clearly exhausted to death by his own hands. He knew that he had killed someone, and his heart was also in pain, he could not even feel the pain in his hands.
He was in no mood to care about Huang Ying anymore, and immediately drove away after hearing Huang Ying's shout.
Huang Ying was also crying because of fear, it happened too suddenly, their conversation was also weird, the two of them were not dumb, and could tell that Bai Xiaobei was not an ordinary person.
Bai Xiaobei found a pharmacy to stop and washed his hands with mineral water. After a simple bandage, the wound had already healed somewhat.
Fatty took out his phone and walked over, then said to Bai Xiaobei: ”Speak, the class monitor is asking me how you are, what happened just now?”
”It's okay, you go back to work. I'll take a taxi back, you drank a lot too, so pay more attention.”
”Sigh, I'll send you off. I'm fine anyways.”
Seeing Bai Xiaobei getting into the taxi, the fatty had no other choice. He remembered that his classmates were still going to sing, so he quickly went to take a look.
When he got home, he saw the village chief playing at home, drinking and chatting with his father.
”Sigh, Xiaobei, you came at the right time. Come sit, sit!”
Seeing that Bai Xiaobei had returned, the Village Chief smiled and greeted him, then placed the pipe in his hand on the table.
Bai Xiaobei was also curious as to why the Village Chief had come here, and politely replied, ”Third Grandpa.”
The village chief was his grandfather's younger brother and also the village's Old Village Head. In the past, he had treated Bai Qi with great care, contracting the entire Posterior Mountain meant that he wouldn't be able to spend much money every year.
Third Grandpa laughed out loud. ”Xiaobei, Third Grandpa is here to ask you some questions, the village's income is currently too low, and it is too lagging behind. The place is too remote, it would be too difficult to get a good family background.”
Hearing Third Grandpa's words, Bai Xiaobei understood. Most likely, during this period of time, he had spent all his wealth to let Third Grandpa know about this and come to find a way to get rich.
This gave Bai Xiaobei a headache. No wonder his father didn't say anything.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiaobei asked curiously: ”Third Grandpa, what is the average income in the village now?”
The Third Grandpa laughed dryly, then took up his pipe. Bai Xiaobei opened the pipe, then looked at the China on the table.
Knowing that it was too expensive, smoking it would be a waste. With this kind of smoke, one cigarette would be more than enough for him to smoke for several days. How could he bear smoking it?
Bai Xiaobei had already opened it, and laughed: ”Third Grandpa, you smoke. There's more in the cabinet, if you like, I can bring one for you when you want to go.”
Shaking his head, the Third Grandpa sighed: ”Xiaobei ah, there are more than eighteen hundred people in the village now, but there are nearly a thousand who go out to work. The village is filled with old, weak and handicapped people, and the average income cannot be counted as one. If you had even the slightest bit of strength, the younger ones would have already left. ”
After thinking for a while, he said with a bitter smile, ”There's no one left in the village now, just me, the village chief, and the treasury. Right now, the water and electricity charges for every family in the village are not easily collectible.”
Although the rural areas weren't the same as before, their village was too backward. No one wanted to stay here, and most of the young people had already run away.
The land nearby was not fertile, and the production was not high either. He had to work outside for a month to earn two months' worth of money. Moreover, it was incomparably easy, and not many people were willing to face the skies facing the earth.
Only then did Bai Xiaobei remember that his own village was too poor. Many people lived in mud huts, stone courtyard houses were not many, there were also a few small villages nearby that lived the same way.
”Xiaobei, you are a university student, your brain is good, you think of a way for Grandfather, if this goes on, there will be no one left in the village.”
Third Grandpa was already in his seventies, and was also the only cultured person in his generation who had managed the village for dozens of years. However, no one was willing to take over the position of village head.
Bai Xiaobei had always been so focused on earning money that he had completely ignored the fact that he had a few close relatives. His face also turned red as he said, ”Third Grandpa, I'll help everyone think of a way!”
