Chapter 72 Gifts from Uncles (Part [-])
Two vegetable dumplings are only enough to pad the belly.

Xu Youcang had to drink a few scoops of cold water to fill his stomach every time after eating dry food.

When he was pouring water into his belly, the forestry manager came out of the oilcloth shed, looked up at the west sky and it was getting dark again, feeling very annoyed.

It stands to reason that this kind of weather should be stopped, it is more dangerous, and the wet trees are heavier, so we should call an early stop today.

But the owner was in a hurry, and they were delayed a lot by the bad weather.

If you support a day laborer for an extra day and spend an extra day of food, the boss will scold him.

The person in charge could only say:

"I see that side is getting cloudy again. Those who go up the mountain must pay attention to their feet. If the rain is heavy, stop in the woods if it doesn't work!"

There is also a canopy at the logging place on the mountain.

Xu Youcang and the other men roared back: "Got it."

Xu Youcang put down the water ladle and tied up the tools again.

The tools for him to carry wood are only a pair of back clips and a crutch.

He's already gotten the hang of it, and the real weight is on the shoulders.

And his shoulders and back were already scarred after more than a month of wear and tear.

Xu Youcang also felt that the part with the most wear and tear was hemorrhage and edema, and felt that the sleeping shed was damp at night, and when he woke up, there was blood on the straw mat.

However, Xu Youcang never took it seriously, thinking:

Just wait until you get home.

When I get home, if my mother can make him a hot noodle soup, Ding will get better faster.

Thinking of the noodles made by his mother, Xu Youcang quickened his pace up the mountain.

When he reached the logging site halfway up the mountain, Xu Youcang steadied his horse and asked someone to pile logs on his shoulders.

"Is it okay, can I add another one?"

"Come."

What do you mean it can work?Men can't say no.

When Xu Youcang was carrying logs down the mountain, he saw a worker named Da Chengzi stop halfway.

At night, Da Chengzi's mat is next to him.

Xu Youcang also heard that this man in his early twenties came to carry logs to earn money for medical treatment of his two-year-old daughter.

Some workers said, what else can a girl treat? If you are exhausted, can she take care of you?It's better to have another one sooner.

Da Chengzi was so angry that he said that it was the couple's first child, and it would not be like this, and even though his daughter was only two years old and sensible, why would she ignore him when she grows up.

When Xu Youcang heard this, he thought of his niece, and chimed in, "Stop talking about those nonsense, what's wrong with the girl? Like my niece, she will be filial. My mother said that the girl is filial, so small that she misses her shoes and socks for her mother's family." Buy it, big enough to dare to send money to your natal family. Brother, you have to work hard to get medicine for your baby, and your luck will be behind."

"How old is your niece?"

"Thirteen."

Da Chengzi: "..." The co-author is not much younger than your uncle.

But because of this incident, the relationship between the two of them became closest this month.

When Xu Youcang saw Da Chengzi stop by the side of the road, he glanced at him.

But he didn't dare to delay, for fear of affecting the workers who followed behind.

Just a reminder: It is difficult to carry the wood on the shoulders when the wood is placed on the ground. Use your shoulders and crutches to support it and rest for a while.

At this time, Da Chengzi's face was a little abnormal, when he was carrying the wood just now, his legs suddenly lost strength.

On the slippery mountain road, you have to be careful when walking lightly, let alone carrying a heavy load, and your knees have problems again.

So the accident came so suddenly.

After Xu Youcang walked over, the thick wood on Da Chengzi's back slid down the uphill, and Da Chengzi knelt on the ground dumbfounded, feeling that it was too late to remind him.

And the downhill is full of workers carrying logs next to each other.

Xu Youcang's ears moved. Another person would never be able to smoothly unload the wood from his shoulders and at the same time hug the fallen thick tree and roll to the side.

Xu Youcang relied purely on his brute strength.

When the workers rushed to carry Xu Youcang down the hillside, the manager was terrified after hearing this.

Such a thick tree, if there is no Xu Youcang to block the grass next to it, it will knock down a lot of people when it slides down, at least many people will roll down the hill, and at worst many people will be crushed to death by the wood they are carrying on the spot.

But the young man in front of him hugged the tree trunk abruptly and changed his direction abruptly. Just a little change could save everyone's life.

It's just that I was hit hard by the tree trunk rolling down by inertia.

The manager trembled, and wiped the blood around Xu Youcang's mouth with his sleeve.

What should I do if there is no doctor nearby.

If he doesn't wake up again, he can only quickly drag him to Guolin Zhuangzi, where there are doctors and medicines.

Xu Youcang felt a little ringing in his ears, and his bones ached a little.

He vaguely heard the manager say: "Little brother, can you hear me? You wake up, you don't have to do anything when you wake up, I'll count six taels for you and then you can go home, don't you want to go home? Home."

"Really?"

Xu Youcang slowed down for a while, feeling his body could move, then he grinned at the manager and said, "Then thank you, shopkeeper."

The steward Yu Xin couldn't bear it and said: "I should thank you. If you don't have it, something big will happen. I will not only pay you six taels of wages, but also write you a note. You go to Guolin Zhuangzi and ask the doctor to feel your pulse and get some medicine. Go home and drink."

When Xu Youcang heard Guolin Zhuangzi, he quickly sat up and wiped off the blood around his mouth, saying, "Shopkeeper, I'm really fine, so I spit blood and look at others. I can't appoint you later, and I'm not a rascal...then Can medicine be exchanged for fruit?"

"What do you want fruit for?"

He has a niece who has neither father nor mother.

Niang said, it would be better for Tian Xin to let them be uncles.

He doesn't know what to do to be good to the child, and he doesn't understand the twists and turns, so he can only substitute the elder brother.

He thought that if his eldest brother was alive, before he was about to return home, he would exchange his wages for some fruits for Tian Xin'er.

So the third child, Xu Youcang, was carrying a sack of autumn pears covered by a luggage roll, to protect himself from the rain, and with six taels of silver in his pocket, he happily walked on the way to the county ahead of time.

At the same time, the second child and the fourth child in the county had just finished eating, both smelly and wet, and were looking for a corner of the shed to squat together while eating and talking.

"Second brother, have you come up with an idea? What do you say to your mother when you go home, what kind of work are we doing outside?"

If you say that you have been in the orchard all the time, grandma will reveal her secrets when she returns.

But it is always impossible to tell the truth, so as not to make my mother feel uncomfortable.

"Your brain is active, you think."

Uncle Xu, who was only four years older than Xu Tianxin, looked across at him and was repairing the dam in the rain: "It said that we found fishing work outside. As for why we earn so much..."

Xu Youyin thought to himself: "Let's say that you, second brother, have helped people repair boats. Third brother is strong, and can cast the net far. I am a good swimmer, and they will reward us three brothers with a lot of money."

Xu Youliang smiled and said, "Succeed, let's buy two fish when we go back. We uncles, we can't go back empty-handed and let Tian Xin eat the fish."

"Hey, if only Tian Xin could give me a fish head left." Xu Youyin also wanted to eat fish, but he knew it was impossible, as his niece was very protective of food.
