Chen Jiayan pursed her lips and her face turned red again: "I said, I can do anything Taozi can do!"
"Hey." I sighed softly and laughed helplessly: "You are you, why bother comparing with her?"
"I'm not doing it for you."
Chen Jiayan was very decisive, without any hesitation: "I want you to see with your own eyes that a country girl is no shorter than anyone else!"
Before, I only hurt Taozi because of her words.
Now, I suddenly understand Chen Jiayan.
Those words were a thorn in her side, a thorn that could last a lifetime.
"Then you go back and prepare your things. We will meet here tomorrow morning."
Chen Jiayan didn't even have time to say goodbye and ran out in a hurry.
After she left, Ji Canghai leaned next to me and asked in a low voice: "The cameras you asked me to install have been set up."
"But, I didn't notice anything wrong."
After a pause, Ji Canghai lowered his voice a little lower: "Is it possible that I'm just trying to scare someone away?"
"This kind of thing is like a marathon. It requires endurance. Sooner or later, she will show her weakness."
"good."
The next day, the teahouse had just opened, and Chen Jiayan had already appeared at the door carrying a huge backpack.
Seeing this posture, I quickly walked down from the second floor.
Chen Jiayan's eyes kept following me until I stood in front of her.
"What time did you come?"
"Around four o'clock, right?"
I looked at the time: "You just stood outside like this for two hours?"
"Um!"
I hesitated for a while: "I advise you, don't use too much force."
"What's the meaning?"
I had nothing to hold back from her, so I said bluntly: "I know you are eager to accomplish something."
"The more anxious you are, the more likely things will go wrong. Haste makes waste."
Chen Jiayan pursed her lips and whispered, "You have changed."
"What has changed?"
She looked up at the second floor and moved forward: "You are talking more and more like Uncle Ya."
I pursed my lips and smiled, thinking: If I were as profound as his, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams.
Turning around, I looked at Ji Canghai: "Please say hello to Uncle Ya for me."
Ji Canghai frowned, then sighed softly: "Please be safe."
After coming out of the teahouse, Chen Jiayan and I took two urns and packed the corpses, one large and one small.
When we were about to set off, we suddenly discovered the first problem.
Navel Village is located at the foot of a deep mountain, and there are not many villagers coming in and out. The last bus was canceled three years ago.
In desperation, the two of us could only choose roundabout tactics.
First we went to Modong, then to Laihe County, where we took a bus to a tricycle and even walked a section of the waterway.
It wasn't until noon the next day that we arrived in Henan County.
Along the way, I tried my best to share some of the burden for Chen Jiayan, but now she is like a stubborn donkey. She would rather take one step and rest three steps by herself than let me help.
By the time they arrived in Laihe County, Chen Jiayan's thin body was already stooped, and her breathing was louder than her walking.
Especially when eating, her hands holding chopsticks were shaking.
I immediately made a decision: I would rest for a day and start again tomorrow.
The next day, I packed my things and knocked on Chen Jiayan's door.
When she saw me, she forced out a stiff smile and said, "I'll be there soon."
However, the moment she picked up the backpack, she fell sideways.
The huge backpack couldn't hold her up.
The moment I helped her up, I realized that her whole body was trembling slightly.
Instead of getting better, the situation got worse.
I threw down my backpack, picked up Chen Jiayan on my back, found a hospital and got in.
The doctor's diagnosis was a mixed bag.
Her weakness was entirely caused by long-term malnutrition, which directly aggravated the anemia.
Coupled with running around for two consecutive days, her thin body simply couldn't bear it.
its not right.
Chen Jiayan's salary is not too much, but it is more than enough to support herself. How could she be so weak?
