"Why is this old man like this, we just want to ask Lan Yan about some of the situation, but if we don't want to forget it, we still spit on you." Mu Qingyan frowned and said, taking out a tissue to help wipe the phlegm spit on Zhang Ming's clothes.

Zhang Ming also took a tissue to wipe it and said, "Forget it, a woman doesn't care about her mother and son, if I am this old man, I may make more drastic moves." ”

"Shall we just leave it at that? It's hard work to get here. Mu Qingyan said depressedly.

"At least not now, when the old man is gone, I'll try again."

Zhang Ming's plan was still in vain in the afternoon, and in the afternoon, no matter how Zhang Ming knocked on the door, there was no response in the room, and it was not until dinner time that Zhang Ming gave up his plan to knock on the door again on this day.

At dinner, several people sat together, there were still those few dishes on the table, the chicken prepared at noon did not move at all, Zhang Ming and Mu Qingyan were reluctant to eat, the family was even more reluctant to eat, a piece of chicken was eager to eat the bones.

Mu Qingyan dealt with it casually, said that she was full, and then walked out.

Zhang Ming knows what the reason is, no wonder, how can a young lady eat these things, it is already very good to be able to come out without complaining.

The family also saw the reason, and the child was embarrassed and said, "We still have some corn here, should we cook it for her?" ”

"No need, no need, she's losing weight," Zhang Ming hurriedly waved his hand, these corns are probably the only precious food for the family, how embarrassed is Zhang Ming. "I'll just eat her, don't waste it. I like this kind of Tujia cuisine the most. ”

After speaking, Zhang Ming poured all the remaining food in Muqing's cigarette bowl into his own bowl and ate it in a big gulp, and the family smiled heartily when they saw Zhang Ming like it so much.

After dinner, Zhang Ming also walked out, saw Mu Qingyan sitting on the stone looking at the moon, walked up and said, "I can't see it, a young lady is so unspoiled." ”

"Where am I pampered, I also have sympathy, seeing that their lives are so stressful, I really want to do something for them. But I don't know anything. Mu Qingyan sat on the stone and said dejectedly.

"You don't know anything anywhere, why don't I give you an idea?"

"What's the idea?"

Zhang Ming said with a smile; "Aren't you a teacher? You can come here every year during the holidays to teach, donating money and materials in mountainous areas like this can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause, so that the children here can read good books and go out of the mountains, which is the best way to cure the root cause. ”

"That's right!" Mu Qingyan jumped up happily, circled around Zhang Ming's side and said, "I am a teacher, I can be a teacher, and I can also mobilize some teachers to teach." Then you bring some groceries for the people here. ”

Zhang Ming pouted pitifully; "Can I not come? I'll just send it over. ”

"No, this is my summer homework for you!"

"Huh? Summer homework? Zhang Ming looked at each other with wide eyes, is this still popular these days? Seeing Mu Qingyan's resolute attitude, he had to agree: "Okay, I will definitely finish my summer vacation homework well." ”

"It's pretty much the same, I'm tired today, I'll go to sleep first."

Mu Qingyan had just left on the front foot, and his father, the child of this family, came out, saw Zhang Ming here, walked up and said with a smile: "Can't sleep?" ”

Zhang Ming nodded.

"We all go to bed earlier here, unlike you outsiders, who have more spare time."

"If I go to bed early, I feel better the next day, and I want to be able to go to bed early." Zhang Ming added.

The man smiled faintly and asked rhetorically, "I heard that you found Lan Yan's mother today, not only did she ignore you, but she also spat on you, right?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, I can understand her feelings." Zhang Ming shrugged indifferently.

The man sighed deeply. Staring in the direction where Lan Yan's mother lived, he said, "Actually, I was surprised when I heard that you were here to find Lan Yan at the beginning, if you hadn't mentioned it today, our entire village would probably have forgotten about this person." ”

Zhang Ming felt that he knew something about Lan Yan, and sat up straight, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, when he saw him skillfully lit it with a match, he was surprised to find that he was a smoker, probably because of the family's economy.

"Did Lan Yan do something sorry for the village?" Zhang Ming asked after igniting it.

The man shook his head, took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "She didn't do anything to be sorry for the village, she just violated a big taboo in this village." ”

"Big taboo?"

"Well, when she was a girl, she was in a relationship with a little boy here, and then the boy went out to study, but Lan Yan was unexpectedly pregnant at home, although our village is not against falling in love, but we don't agree to have a child before getting married. This was a taboo in our village, and everyone advised her to get rid of the child, but she insisted that the boy would come back to marry her. So it was born. Who knows..."

"Who knew that the boy would never return, Lan Yan was unwilling, and left her child and mother to find the boy, and he hasn't come back until now." Zhang Ming snatched the man's words and said.

"You know about this?" The man asked in surprise.

"Lan Yan told me."

"Have you seen Lan Yan?" The man was even more surprised.

Zhang Ming nodded. "She is living a very good life now, she is the dream lover of many adult men, and this time I just came to know one thing."

"What's the matter?" The man asked.

Zhang Ming said without hesitation: "I just want to know what the little boy in your mouth is called." ”

The man pointed to the big deserted house next to him and said: "His name is Rambo, he is the person of this family, his parents died a few years ago, so they have been abandoned here, Rambo has never returned, and even the corpses of his parents were sent to be taken away." ”

Zhang Ming looked back at the house entangled in countless cobwebs. He said in pieces: "Do you know that Lan Bo later changed his name? ”

"I don't know." The man shook his head.

"There should be a picture of Blue Wave in this room." Zhang Ming got up and wanted to go to the room to look for photos, but was stopped by the man.

"No, people in our village only take pictures twice in their lives, the first time is when they get married, and the second time when they die, which is our custom."

"Then there isn't a single person here who has a picture of Blue Wave?" Zhang Ming suddenly felt a sense of loss.

The man shook his head again. "No, Lan Yan's mother has, we all thought that Lan Yan and Lan Bo would definitely get married, so they went to take pictures in advance. Now it's been in Lan Yan's mother's hands. ”

"Looks like we've gone back to square one!"
