Chapter 4404 Pulling the Stone
Yang Ruoqing’s words really frightened Erya.
The little girl's face turned pale, and she nervously grabbed the cold and hard steamed bun in her hand. She was too scared to speak.
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and touched her head again, and said comfortingly: "As long as you are obedient and follow your master, you will not encounter any human beings."
Er Ya He nodded vigorously, and then whispered: "They all said that the Guanyin here can manifest spirits. Actually, I also want to pray for blessings. I ask the Bodhisattva to bless my father's legs to heal as soon as possible and to get down to earth as soon as possible..."
"But, I didn't have breakfast. I was hungry and didn't have the strength to climb the mountain..."
Yang Ruoqing smiled softly, "If you have such a heart, Lady Guanyin will feel it. This steamed bun is cold and can't be eaten anymore. Now, give it to Auntie. Auntie will buy you other delicious food later.”
“Well, thank you Auntie.” Erya obediently put the bun into Yang Ruoqing’s hand and sat down obediently.
Erya couldn't tell the name of the alley where her family lives now, but Yang Ruoqing was good at tempting and eliminated some conspicuous restaurants, shops, and iconic objects near the alley. Finally, the target was the Dahuaishu Alley in Chengxi Street, the most run-down area in the county.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the entrance of Dahuaishu Alley, Yang Ruoqing heard a woman shouting Erya's name hysterically outside.
"It's my mother!" Erya jumped up from her seat and reached out to lift the curtain.
Yang Ruoqing stopped her.
Erya blinked his big eyes and looked at Yang Ruoqing with some confusion.
Yang Ruoqing quietly lifted a corner of the curtain so that Erya could see Mo's anxious call outside, and so that Mo could not see everything in the carriage for the time being.
"Look, because you sneaked out, your mother is so anxious. If you can't go home even after dark and are taken away by bad guys, your mother will go crazy." Yang Ruoqing warned them again. Ya.
Please don't blame her for being an adult who repeatedly used this matter to scare a child. It's Erya's behavior that must be given a profound warning.
Otherwise, she will still have no memory in the future, and a newborn calf will not be afraid of tigers and will run around everywhere.
Children are the heart and soul of parents and the core of a family. If the child is lost, the parents are empty, and the home no longer feels like home.
This kind of mistake should never happen once. If it happens once, it will be a devastating disaster for this family.
Erya stood in the carriage and looked at the street outside the carriage. His mother, Mo, with disheveled hair, stopped the passers-by like a madman and asked them about her. She raised her hand to indicate her height and appearance...< br>
When encountering pedestrians with a milder temper, they will stop, shake their heads, and wave their hands.
When encountering someone with a bad temper, he not only pushes Mr. Mo away, but also calls him ‘crazy woman’!
When Mrs. Mo fell to the ground, she made a loud thud. Erya felt pain when she saw it, but Mrs. Mo seemed to be completely unaware. She lay on the ground and watched the people rushing on the street. pace, still murmuring Erya's name.
She got up from the ground and continued walking forward crookedly, shouting "Erya..." as she walked
Erya couldn't help it anymore and got under Yang Ruoqing's arm. He went over, jumped off the carriage, and ran towards Mo, crying...
Erya was taken to the opposite room by her aunt. In this room, Gao Jing was lying half-dead on the bed. Two people were sitting facing each other beside the bed, namely Mr. Mo and Yang Ruoqing.
Just now, Yang Ruoqing has told Mo and Gao Jing how she met Erya.
The couple were very frightened, and finally calmed down a bit. Mo wiped away her tears and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Erya's father is so injured that his two brothers-in-law can't get out of bed. I'm taking care of them at home, and her aunt helps me take care of Erya's brother. It really takes the blink of an eye." Erya can't run away "See you."
"If Erya's father hadn't asked me where Erya was before, and I hadn't seen anyone all morning, I probably wouldn't have realized she was gone... …”
"Mrs. Luo, you are really the savior of our family. Thank you for helping us bring Erya back!"
Mo slipped down from the stool and knelt down to kowtow to Yang Ruoqing.
Gao Jing was also struggling to kowtow to Yang Ruoqing on the bed. Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to stop Gao Jing: "Your leg is injured. It's not appropriate to move. Lie down and don't move."
Then she Then he came to Mo's side and pulled her up: "I met Erya several times, which also means that Erya and I It's fate, don't give me such a big gift. The most urgent thing is to tell me what difficulties your family has encountered and why the three brothers Gao Jing were injured. When I entered the house earlier, I met Uncle Erya, and his uncle also It doesn’t look good.”
My forehead is bruised and swollen, and it looks like I was kowtowing.
Mrs. Mo sobbed and sat back on the stool, glanced at Gao Jing, who was lying upright on the bed, sighed, and told the story of the incident in a plaintive voice:
"Thanks to Mrs. Luo for your great kindness, I was so kind again." Give us blankets, food, and money to tide us over."
"On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the child's father's legs are better and he can go to the ground. We will take the money you gave us, Mrs. Luo. We first moved to a small inn and rented a bunkhouse to settle down first.”
“After staying in the inn for five or six days, the child’s father and the child’s uncle found work outside. The owner originally said. Okay, the wages will be settled on a day-to-day basis, with twenty cents a day, one meal at noon, and payment at the end of the day." "Wait a minute," Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to interrupt Mo.
"What kind of work does it cost twenty cents a day?" she asked.
Even if you are cleaning tables and chairs and washing pots and pans in a small food stall, you still earn thirty cents a day and take care of two meals.
If you are doing hard work such as transportation, fifty cents a day is the approximate market price in the county town at the moment, and twenty cents is a bit outrageous.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Mo was a little confused and looked at Gao Jing.
Gao Jing exhaled a breath and said in a deep voice: "A large family named Zhang in the county said they wanted to build a house and were short of stones, so they hired people to pull stones from the quarry to the west of the county. .”
"Twenty a day, including a meal at noon, and wages are paid in person every day."
Yang Ruoqing's beautiful eyebrows frowned. She had been to the quarry in the county town ten years ago, because her fourth uncle's reason.
It turns out that the people in the quarry are related to the good people in Huguang County, and the good people in Huguang County are from the Black Lotus Sect.
After that incident, the quarry went bankrupt and was later taken over by other businessmen. The other businessmen were related to Zuo Junmo and were doing serious business.
It’s too far off topic, now it’s not about the quarry, but about the dispute between the Li family and Gao Jing.
"The Li family mainly needs stones to build their house. Ask Brother Gao to help them pull the stones. You will only be given twenty cents at the end of the day, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked Gao Jing.
Gao Jing nodded.
"You want to accept such a low-wage job? Pulling stones is the most tiring of manual jobs. It is similar to carrying big bags at the dock, but those who carry big bags at the dock earn fifty or sixty cents a day! "Yang Ruoqing said very puzzled.
