Return to Splendid

After walking for almost thirty kilometers, we came to a loess slope.

The degree of wind and rain suffered in this area is relatively small, but traces of wind and rain damage can still be seen.In the fields washed by rain, the crops are extremely vital. They stand upright in the sun and withstand a heavy rain. They repair the damaged field edges and lift up the seedlings that have fallen in the water... Agriculture and rural farmers rely on How much effort does it take to get the grain grains back to the warehouse? It’s noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil... The level of hard work is self-evident.

The grandma sitting on the outside seat remembered something and asked the person sitting in the back: "Where is this?"

The grandma sitting inside shook her head and asked the driver: "Master, what point is this?"

The driver asked angrily: "Where do you want to go?"

The grandma sitting outside said: "Three small slopes."

The driver said: "It's been so far away."

Grandma waved hurriedly and shouted: "Master, master, stop the car quickly, stop the car quickly, turn around."

The car didn't stop, but just slowed down. The driver turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

Grandma said: "I want to get off at three hills."

"What have you been doing so long ago? You've come five kilometers away. What do you want me to do?"

The driver was very unhappy, and grandma was speechless when she saw his fierce look.

Xing Yi thought that the driver should not be like this. For an old man from the countryside, it can be said that he rarely travels far, so such errors are inevitable. He could not blame her, so he took the initiative to speak: "It is not easy for these two old people to walk five kilometers. Go back."

The driver turned around and said, "Who are you? Your back hurts when you sit and talk? Do you know how long it takes to get back and forth?"

"I'm just a passenger. I don't know this old lady. I just thought that if I worked more carefully and reminded her in time, it wouldn't be such a delay."

"You mean we did something wrong?"

"I know your job is very hard. It's really not easy to drive back and forth for four or five hours. But this is also a special situation, so let's handle it specially."

"Then ask the people in the car if you are not in a hurry and have time to accompany me here?"

Xing Yi stood up, faced everyone, and said: "I believe there are elderly people in everyone's family. There is a saying that people's legs age first. Under normal circumstances, none of us can watch an old man walk an extra five kilometers. , we all have a sympathetic heart, and the time will not be delayed too long. It’s just that the master has to work harder. When I say this, I believe everyone will agree with it."

No one spoke, and the driver failed to achieve his goal of asking everyone to support him. He couldn't get rid of his anger and said angrily: "Is there anyone else who wants to get off at the three hills?"

Xing Yi asked: "So? One more person must get off the car before you go back these five kilometers?"

"Whatever you say." The driver sat down heavily.

"Okay, I'll get off there too, and you can reverse the car."

The driver snorted and started to reverse the car. The road was not wide and the gravel on the roadside was loose, so the car had big bumps. He was cursing while changing gears.

Seeing three small slopes, the driver said: "Get off, hurry up."

The old lady sitting outside asked the old lady sitting inside to get off the bus with him.The person inside said: "Not today, the matter of the fourth child is still waiting to be discussed. I will come over until the next day."

The driver urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, stop being so long-winded."

The two said goodbye. Grandma pushed her grandson and stumbled towards the door. She never let go of her grandson's hand. The grandson broke away from her hand and jumped down.

The bony and trembling hands scratched randomly, unable to find a place to hold on for a while.

Xing Yi sat still.

The driver looked back at him and said, "What? Why don't you get out of the car?"

Xing Yi had no expression on his face and said coldly: "I bought a full ticket. If you get off here, you have to refund your money."

The driver felt cheated, his face was livid, he looked back at all the passengers, and when he saw that no one said anything, he turned the gears fiercely.

After driving forward for about a kilometer, Xing Yi suddenly shouted: "Stop, stop."

The driver stopped the car and turned around fiercely: "What on earth are you going to..." Seeing him holding a cane high, he was stunned: "Are you kidding me?"

The one who stayed behind said, "It was my third aunt's stick. She was in a hurry when she got off the car and forgot to take it."

"Then what do you want me to do? Back up the car?"

Xing Yi said: "There is no need to reverse the car this time. You open the door and I will run to send her there."

The driver stared at him, opened the door, and let him get out. He ran a few steps and heard the roar of the engine. He looked back and saw the car body swinging violently twice before driving away quickly.

All I saw was the grandma's hands on the window glass.

The driver seized the opportunity for revenge.

It seems that I have to use my legs.Xing Yi shook his head, but quickly remembered the license plate number.

He jogged to catch up with the grandma.

"You lost your crutch."

Grandma did not take the crutches, but grabbed his hand and bent her legs tremblingly, almost kneeling. He quickly helped her up and handed the crutches into her hands.

Grandma's lips trembled: "Thank you. I got out of the car and walked a few steps. My hands were empty, and I realized that I had dropped the walking stick, whether it was in the car or somewhere. I couldn't remember at all."

The grandma pushed her grandson again: "What are you looking at? Look here, we have met a good person."

The little grandson's eyes were sparkling. Xing Yi couldn't help but touch his forehead gently. The thick hair pricked his hand like thorns.

Children in rural areas eat wild fruits, play in the sun, and jump in muddy water. They look very energetic.

Grandma asked: "How dare you ask this uncle, where are you going?"

"I heard you say that there is a road from here to Shangyan Village."

"I have been there. There is a road behind our Xiaotun Village that we can walk through."

"You said there is a road behind Xiaotun to Shangyan Village. How far is it?"

"I went there when I was young. It took me half a day to walk."

Half a day, that is, three or a few hours.

He looked up at the sky and said, "Then I'll go this way."

He squatted in front of the little boy and said, "Little boy, come here and let me carry you."

The old lady said: "Either way or another, he will walk without having to carry it."

"Come on, look, uncle's legs are so thick, aren't they?".

The little boy was a little shy, but his calves were really sore. With a gentle tug, he climbed on his back obediently.

Grandma said: "Sorry, uncle is tired."

Xing Yi said: "It doesn't matter, I am young and have plenty of strength."

There were rapid footsteps behind, and a person quickly caught up.

After getting closer, he introduced himself as Xin Zhuo, who worked at the rural enterprise station.

"I learned from you. After getting off the bus, I also joked with the driver and said, you want to refund my ticket money."

Then he praised Xing Yi's behavior: "There were many locals in the car. Even though they didn't speak a word, they were actually silent support."

Xing Yi said kindly: "I guess the driver may have encountered something troublesome."

Xin Zhuo said: "It should be said that he drove this road not once or twice. It is normal for someone to get off the car halfway. But today's performance is indeed a bit abnormal."
