readx; The driver didn't hear it very clearly in front, he thought that Zhang Binglei said why not do the highway, he said: "Boss, we are poor in this place, I heard that the country has money to come back, and it has been eaten by the officials, where will you think about building a road for the village!" ”

"You're all so poor here, and there are corrupt officials?" Lao Gang was a little puzzled, like the county and the town here just now, they were as poor as the Great Northern Wilderness, where was there any greed?

"Hmph, you don't know, the poorer the magistrates, the more greedy they are, they dare to eat any money, even the money of the dead. The driver spat heavily to www.biquge.info the side.

Long Yufan shook his head and said: "We don't care about other people's corrupt officials, we do ours, as long as they don't mess with us." ”

"Oh," Lao Gang nodded and said no more. The trail is very difficult and the road behind it is narrower, but the driver's skills are good, and he can still drive the three-wheeled motorcycle with ease. "Brother driver, you have a hand, you can drive so beautifully on such a small road."

"Of course, I'm already an old driver, I've been to this stone village before, this village is too poor, but no matter how poor it is, it's all related to this town." The driver shook his head helplessly as he drove the car.

"Driver, why do you say that? What does it have to do with the town? Long Yufan asked strangely.

The driver still wanted to say something, but then swallowed the words again, he shook his head, "You are not locals who don't know, you still don't listen, what I said is not good for me." The driver continued to refuel, and the motorcycle continued to run on the dirt road.

The driver's time was calculated accurately, and in about an hour and a half, the motorcycle came to a small village with quite a few houses, all made of stone. "Driver, is this the origin of Stone Village?" Lao Gang asked.

"Yes, there are a lot of stones in Stone Village, and they are poor and don't have the money to build houses with bricks, so they use stones instead. They are surrounded by stones, which is one of the reasons for the poverty of their village. People in other villages can farm to support themselves, but there are stones in the vicinity of Stone Village, and they have no way to plant them, so they can only break them into some small handicrafts and sell them in the town or county for money. The driver said.

"Oh, I see," Long Yufan got off the motorcycle, he sat in the motorcycle for three hours, and felt that his feet were numb. Zhang Binglei took out a hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to the driver.

The driver also got out of the car after taking the money, he took a bottle of water he had brought with him, and sat on the side of the road gasping for breath while drinking.

Lao Gang said: "Driver, aren't you going back?" ”

"Go back, why don't you go back? It's just that I drove for three hours, and I had to rest for an hour before leaving, this hellish place, it's not easy to come once, and now gasoline is expensive, except for the fuel I go back and forth, in fact, I can't make much. The driver said with a bitter face.

Long Yufan said: "Driver, you take a slow rest here, let's go in and find someone." Long Yufan and they walked inside, they entered the village, Zhang Binglei asked the villagers with the information in his hand, and when they learned that Xiaoshu's home was behind, they continued to walk inside.

"Is anyone home?" Zhang Binglei kept asking the villagers to find Xiaoshu's home.

"Who?" An old voice came from the room, and then out of it came an old man, probably in his fifties, nay, probably in his sixties, because there was an old air from him. Seeing that he didn't know Long Yufan and the three of them, the old man asked strangely, "Who are you looking for?" Is it the wrong person? ”

"Uncle, is this Xiaoshu's home?" Zhang Binglei asked.

The old man looked at Zhang Binglei and was a little puzzled, "Who are you?" I don't know you, and if you don't have anything to do, I'm going in. ”

"Uncle, we are friends with Xiaoshu, and we came from afar." Zhang Binglei said.

"Little Tree's friend?" The old man was about to turn around and leave, when he heard Zhang Binglei say that he was a friend of his son, and he turned around again. "Where is the little tree now? He never told us where he worked, he just said that he had a good job, and that he rarely went home once a year, but he only sent money back every month. When the old man talked about the money sent by Xiaoshu, he felt a little helpless.

"Uncle, can we go into the house and talk about it?" Long Yufan said.

The old man nodded, "Okay, you guys come in with me!" When Long Yufan and the others entered the house, they found that the house was not very big, one hall and two houses, and there were a lot of things piled up in the hall. There were no chairs in the hall, and it was made of stone, but it was very smooth.

"Uncle, we came here this time to tell you the truth, Xiaoshu has passed away." Zhang Binglei said embarrassedly.

"What?" As soon as Xiaoshu's father heard Zhang Binglei say this, his body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned on the spot. "Xiao, how did Xiaoshu pass away? What's going on? ”

Zhang Binglei said: "Xiaoshu died in an accident, he used to buy insurance, and the insurance company paid 200,000 yuan, uncle, this 200,000 yuan is here, you are Xiaoshu's father, so this money will be handed over to you." Zhang Binglei took the duffel bag and opened it, revealing a pile of banknotes.

"I don't need money, I just want a son," Xiaoshu's father shed painful tears, he got married very old, and had a son in his old age, he originally wanted to have another one, but he was too old to have a way. Moreover, the people in their stone village are too poor, and it is difficult for even a son to cultivate talents. That is, because of poverty, Xiaoshu went to the army after graduating from junior high school, and later heard Xiaoshu say that he retired from the army and worked outside. Xiaoshu's father has always wanted Xiaoshu to find a woman to marry and have a son as soon as possible, but Xiaoshu said that he was too busy with work and didn't find a suitable girlfriend, so the matter was delayed again and again. Now I didn't expect Xiaoshu's friend to come over and say that Xiaoshu was dead, and he paid 200,000 yuan. He's so old, what's the use of him asking for money?

Long Yufan saw the painful appearance of Xiaoshu's father, and his heart was also sour, "Uncle, we are Xiaoshu's good brothers, and we will be your sons in the future, okay?" If you need anything, you can tell us. The 200,000 yuan will let you retire first, and I will give you money at that time. ”

"I don't need anything, I just need a little tree." Daddy shook his head in pain.

Long Yufan and they didn't make a sound, Xiaoshu can't come back, according to Xiaoshu's information, Xiaoshu has no brothers and sisters, only elderly parents. "What's wrong, old man?" An old voice came from the room, and the little tree mother walked out. When she saw that Xiaoshu's father was hugging his head and crying, and there were three more strangers in the house, she couldn't help but look at Long Yufan and them vigilantly.

"Wife," Xiaoshu's father cried when he saw Xiaoshu's mother come out, "They are Xiaoshu's friends, and they say that Xiaoshu is dead." ”

"What's going on? Our son is fine, how can he die? When Xiaoshu's mother heard the news, she fell to the ground at once. Long Yufan hurriedly walked over to help Xiaoshu's mother, "Auntie, we didn't expect this to be the case, but the matter has happened, and we have no choice, so we have to come over and say sorry to you, we will be your sons in the future, and you can tell us if you need it." Long Yufan also told Xiaoshu's mother the lie they had made up early in the morning. Zhang Binglei also took the 200,000 yuan to Xiaoshu's mother.

Xiaoshu's mother shook her head, "We are all dying people, what do we need so much money for?" Woo woo, old man, what are we going to do in the future! ”

"Xiaoshu, why did you leave like this, if you want to go, tell your father, let us go with you!" Little Tree Daddy cried and said. Long Yufan and the three of them looked at each other and didn't know what to do, so they had to sit next to each other and wait for Xiaoshu's parents' emotions to stabilize first.

"Old man Zheng, are you crying?" An arrogant voice sounded outside, and two men walked into the room.

As soon as Xiaoshu's parents saw these two men, they immediately stopped crying and said in fear: "Brother Hu, what are you doing here?" ”

"What else can I do? Did your little tree send money back? But it doesn't seem to be, I just asked people to check at the post office in the town, and there is no remittance slip from your house. You're going to have to pay your head fee, or don't blame us for being unkind. The man in front said. He was tall and had a tiger tattooed on his arm. "By the way, you have to remember that there are three people in your family, especially Xiaoshu who works outside, which is counted as two jobs, so you have to pay a capitation fee for four people."

"Brother Hu, now that Xiaoshu is dead, it doesn't matter if we don't pay it over, we have worked hard all our lives, and we don't have anything to do." Little Tree Dad said with a crying face.

"Little Tree is dead? Who said this? The man named Brother Tiger said in disbelief. Old man Zheng, I warn you, don't think that if you make up such a lie, we will not charge you a capitation fee, I tell you, if you don't hand over the money to us this week, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Xiaoshu's mother wiped away the tears on her face, "Brother Tiger, we have been bullied by you for so many years, and now we don't want to live anymore, you can do whatever you want!" ”

When Brother Tiger heard Xiaoshu's parents say this, he believed it a little, why did Xiaoshu have an accident? I sent money back last month! They control the town's post office, and whoever sends the money will know it, and it will be much easier for them to demand the money. "Hey, did you say the little tree died?" Brother Hu looked at Long Yufan and them, he knew that Xiaoshu's parents didn't have a mobile phone, and if Xiaoshu had anything, they all sent a telegram back, and this stone village didn't even have electricity, let alone a phone. When Brother Hu saw the duffel bag next to Zhang Binglei, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"What's the deal with the money? Is it the head fee you gave us? Brother Tiger glanced at the subordinate next to him, suggesting that he went over and took the duffel bag back.

"No, that's the insurance money paid to us by someone's insurance company, not a capitation fee." When Xiaoshu's father saw that Brother Tiger was going to take the 200,000, he hurriedly stood up and stopped the man.

"Damn, old man Zheng, do you dare to stop us, do you want to die?" The man waved his fist to intimidate Xiaoshu's father, and he also saw the money in the duffel bag, there should be a lot of money there! In the future, the capitation fee of Old Man Zheng's family will be settled.
