Sometimes, the two would fight and scold each other, but within three days, they would play together again. Neng'er is an outsider, so Ding Li is closer to Lei Fei. Especially after Ding Li punished the vicious dog, Lei Fei admired him so much that he obeyed his words.
"Okay! Ding Li's plan is really good. He not only cured the vicious dog, but also protected Xiaolan. Fortunately, he could think of it..." Liang Jinlian couldn't help clapping her hands when she heard that Ding Li had cured the vicious dog. Applause.
"Ding Li is a smart boy." After praising Ding Li, Mrs. Li turned the topic back to collecting firewood:
Although Ding Li is extremely smart and takes the lead in everything, he cannot surpass Neng'er in collecting firewood.
Neng'er cuts so much and good firewood every day that he can sell it for almost twice as much as he does. Therefore, the quick-sighted Ding Li threw down his ax and picked up the medicine hoe - and went to collect medicine.
There are many herbs in the mountains, so Ding Li's income from collecting herbs will soon be as much as Neng'er's from cutting firewood. The most obvious benefit of collecting herbs is that you don’t have to carry heavy loads of firewood down the mountain every day, and you can travel leisurely, feel free and relaxed. Seeing this, Lei Fei was moved and followed Ding Li to collect medicine.
This day is a very unforgettable day for Lei Fei, Ding Li and Neng'er. The three of them broke up after going into the mountains together. When Lei Fei was digging for medicinal materials on the hillside, he accidentally slipped and his body lost balance and rolled towards the cliff...
Fortunately, there was a bush of thorns on the edge of the cliff, and he caught it in time.
Ding Li, who was near him, shouted anxiously: "Lei Fei, you have to hold on tight! If you fall, I will jump off the cliff with you..."
After Neng'er heard Ding Li's cry for help, he rushed over with a rope to tie up the firewood, and risked sliding down the cliff to pull Lei Fei up...
Afterwards, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Lei Fei said with lingering fear: "Ali, if I really fall, do you really want to jump too?"
Ding Li said without hesitation: "If you fall off the cliff, I will jump down with you! You came with me to collect herbs. If you fall to death, I will be ashamed to live alone!"
Lei Fei was moved to tears. From then on, she was inseparable from him all day long, and the friendship became even deeper. She considered him to be a life-or-death brother whom she could trust with her life.
Picking herbs depends entirely on luck. If you can come across precious medicinal materials, you will make a small fortune; if you are not lucky, you may come back empty-handed.
That day, Lord Yao played hide-and-seek with Ding Li and Lei Fei. They wandered around the mountains for a whole day and only dug up a few worthless herbal roots.
Perhaps they were embarrassed, but instead of waiting to meet Neng'er at the foot of the mountain as usual, they headed home first.
Lei Fei was not angry, so he kicked the small stones on the mountain road flying all over the sky.
The setting sun sprinkles gold, coating the stones flying in the air with a golden halo.
Ding Li was moved in his heart and said, "Lei Fei, it would be great if these stones were made of gold!"
Lei Fei followed Ding Li's words and said, "I heard that someone really picked up gold on the mountain."
Lei Fei went on to say with infinite fascination: "If we can pick up a piece, even though we didn't collect any medicine today, we can explain it to my father. Alas, even a small piece like a fingernail is good!"
Ding Li said: "You are too unambitious. If you want to find gold, just pick up a nugget of gold!"
"Wow, it's so big, how much can it sell for!" Lei Fei regarded the gold nugget as a gold nugget as big as a dog's head, and sighed with infinite fascination: "If we can pick up a piece of gold as big as a dog's head, we can become a gold nugget in one fell swoop. He is the richest person in the whole village, no, he should be the richest person in Guangzhou City! He has so much money that he can surpass Boss Huang who owns the pawn shop! Oh my god, if you really have so much money, what do you do with it?"
"I want to build a high-rise building first and buy a complete set of furniture, and then, and then..." Ding Li's eyes had a dreamy brilliance. In his mind, the flower-like Lan Mei had already moved into the small building in his imagination and slept on his bed...
…
Suddenly, the beautiful Lan Mei turned into a wisp of smoke - his shoulder hurt. It was Lei Fei, it was Lei Fei who punched him on the shoulder and knocked away his dream.
"Why are you in a daze?" Lei Fei said.
Ding Li was still intoxicated in his fantasy and remained silent.
Lei Fei suddenly said: "If there is only one piece of gold, I can't pick it up if you pick it up, and you can't pick it up if I pick it up. Hey, brother Ali, if you really pick up gold, what will you do?"
Ding Li said: "That's not simple. Whoever picks it up belongs to whoever picks it up."
"No, no!" Lei Fei said, "The gold we encounter on the road is our common luck, so it should be half for each of us. Don't adults often say that when we meet, we share half of it!"
"What, you want to take half of it?" Ding Li shivered with heartache.
He said very firmly: "This treasure belongs to whomever it belongs to. Why should I give you half of it?"
Lei Fei said: "We are walking together. Do you want to monopolize it?"
"How come you're taking it all to yourself? Whoever picks it up should belong to him!"
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be such a lack of friends! If a person is not loyal, he is worse than a pig or a dog. He is just a beast in disguise!"
"Who are you calling a pig or a dog? Who is a beast in disguise?"
"Don't you understand who I'm scolding? If you don't want to be a beast, you should divide all the gold equally!"
Ding Li seemed as if half of the tall building had been snatched away by Lei Fei, and he also extended a dirty hand to Lan Mei...
He couldn't bear it any longer, raised his hand angrily, and slapped that shameless face hard - "Bang!" A five-fingered mountain - a slap mark - appeared vividly on Lei Fei's face.
Lei Fei couldn't help but became furious, "You are unloyal and dare to hit someone!" He rushed over desperately - one punch and one kick between the two of them, looking for the hardest spot. You use your fists and feet together, as if you have eight generations of accumulated debts, the hatred of killing your father, and the hatred of taking away your wife...
When Neng'er caught up, it took a lot of effort to pull them apart. After listening for a long time, he figured out the reason for their fight.
Neng'er couldn't help laughing: "I thought you two really found gold, but it turns out it was just a dream!"
Only then did the two of them come to their senses. After fighting for a long time, they actually found no gold! "Hee hee, you two treasures really hit the jackpot - come and take a look at yourselves by the stream."
You don't need to look to see that both of them are bruised and swollen.
Neng'er said: "You two are fighting over something that does not exist! In other words, you have damaged your body and torn your clothes, but it is meaningless!"
However, for such a non-existent, illusory and imaginary thing, a rift really developed between Lei Fei and Ding Li, and they were no longer as close as before.
Not long after Lei Fei and Ding Li fought, another thing happened that all three of them would never forget.
"What happened? It made all three of them unforgettable for the rest of their lives?" Liang Jinlian asked impatiently.
Li sighed and said, "It was because of this incident that the three friends who were chopping firewood finally parted ways."
Liang Jinlian said: "Why!"
Li said: "The protagonist of this matter is Xiaolan."
After being silent for a while, Li began to talk about Xiaolan's misfortune:
"Lanmei, Lanmei, poor sister; Lanmei, Lanmei, the sister of Kushui (li); Lanmei, Lanmei..." Lei Fei's rough voice can actually cry and sing like a mountain. Xi sobbed and Baiyun shed tears...
Lan Mei's father is a handy mason who repairs and builds houses in the city every day.
One day, when he was standing on the high scaffolding to build a wall as usual, without any warning, the ropes binding the scaffolding suddenly broke, and with a muffled bang, the section of the horizontal path where Lanmei's father stepped on fell. The board collapsed and he fell from a height of ten feet...
It is only a foot high. Children in the village often jump from this height when playing. According to common sense, nothing serious should happen.
It is only a foot high. Children in the village often jump from this height when playing. According to common sense, nothing serious should happen.
However, Lan Mei's father fell backwards, and there happened to be a piece of wood where he landed, hitting his waist heavily. As a result, his spine was misaligned, resulting in paralysis of his lower limbs.
It was not just his waist that was paralyzed, but also his home.
A man is the backbone of his family.
When the pillars of support collapsed, the family naturally collapsed - not only did the whole family lose food and clothing, but the huge foreign debt owed for medical treatment could not be repaid.
Lan Mei cried all day long.
On this day, Boss Huang appeared.
Xiaolan's family borrowed a loan from him at a high interest rate in order to help their father.
Boss Huang's method of collecting loan sharks is famous throughout Guangzhou. Therefore, seeing his arrival, Xiaolan's mother didn't know what to do, and her whole body was shaking like chaff.
Unexpectedly, Boss Huang said that he was not here to collect debts, because he knew that Xiaolan's family was too poor to open the pot, so how could they have the financial resources to pay off the debts.
Boss Huang said: "Not only can I write off all the debts your family owes, but I can also pay off other debts for your family, and I can also provide you and your family with pension expenses."
"What a big pie!" Liang Jinlian said loudly, watching clearly.
"The weasel pays New Year greetings to the rooster - he has no good intentions!" a folk saying came out of Li's mouth.
Then, Mrs. Li told again——
Of course, Boss Huang runs a pawn shop and always does this kind of loss-making business. He is no longer Boss Huang. Therefore, Boss Huang added a small condition: Invite Xiaolan to live in their home and live in his room - to be his little wife. The extremely shrewd Boss Huang has already calculated things clearly. Are there any variables? Xiaolan could only sit on the Huang family's sedan chair obediently...
That day, Neng'er, Ding Li, and Lei Fei sat on a high platform at the entrance of Baiyun Village, watching helplessly as the big red sedan chair carried Xiaolan out of the village.
The suona whimpered, torn intermittently by the wind, as if it was crying.
Those who want to cry but have no tears, have those three bleeding hearts.
The sound of the suona disappeared with the wind, and the sedan chair also disappeared into the vast mist...
"God, this is unfair! An old man in his fifties or sixties takes advantage of someone else's fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl. Where is the justice of heaven? Where is the justice of heaven?!" Lei Fei punched a hard stone, and his fist immediately flowed out of red. of blood.
"There is no fairness in the world!" Ding Li said.
