Chapter 360: Le Yao's Promise

The raindrops were still hitting the tent at the same rhythm, so the "tick" sound kept ringing in our ears, but there was nothing to say to each other, just waiting for the next train that would pass through our sight.

After a long time, I didn't wait for the train coming from afar, but the person was a little tired, so I lay down. Le Yao then lay down, but was on the other side of me. So on this night, no one spoke anymore, but just waited quietly for the farewell moment when he left the small mountain village tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, the rain finally stopped. I was awakened by the sound of the train colliding with the railroad tracks when I passed by. Then I couldn't sleep anyway. After applying some anti-mosquito bite liquid, I opened the tent, lit a cigarette, sat on the rocks in the hills, and looked at the extremely vast land beneath me, but I was a little at a loss.

I asked myself several times, have I really changed? If it changes, is I the man Le Yao once said to be wearing a rivet leather jacket and roaring to pursue the pleasure of freedom?

I don't remember it very much, but the rivet leather jacket I once liked to wear is gone, and I have never thought about it anymore. If this detail is used as the standard, I am really not like me.

The smoke has been extinguished without my awareness. In the past period of time, I have not ignited my desire to change myself, nor do I feel that there is anything wrong with myself now. I just want to make my life stable, then marry Mi Cai, and then let my father and mother hold the eldest grandson they have always dreamed of. This can be considered as a perfect explanation for myself, life, and relatives.

......

The next morning, the two sat on the hill. After watching the sunrise, they put away their tents and rushed back to the small mountain village. Robben was waiting for us at the entrance of the village. Seeing that we were back, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where did you two go last night, and the phone could not be reached!"

Le Yao ignored it and walked straight to the village. Robben asked in confusion again: "Didn't you do anything you shouldn't do to the big guys?...After all, this is a lonely man and a widow, and it's not the first time you've committed a crime!"

"Not done!"

"I really didn't do it?"

"I really didn't do anything. I just stayed with her on the other side of the mountain, watched the train and the sunrise."

Robben shook his head and sighed, "It's hard to say. If it reaches the ears of those reporters, it will be another scandal that cannot be cleaned."

"Stop talking, pack your luggage and leave immediately..."

Robben finally realized that this was not a time to make jokes, so he nodded and walked towards his residence. After a while, the three of us packed our luggage and arrived at the entrance of the village. The village chief led many villagers to see us off. These villagers were grateful to us, especially to Wei Manwen, who gave too much, too much...

After saying the final goodbye, we were finally leaving, but Le Yao suddenly stopped and said to the village chief: "Uncle, have you believed in me?"

The village chief didn't know what Le Yao wanted to express, so he asked in confusion: "What does it mean?"

"Next time I come to the village again, I will definitely help the village build a road leading to the city!"

The village chief opened his mouth wide and looked at Le Yao. The road to open the mountain is not a small amount. The town government has worked hard for many years but has not invested in building a road that can drive out for the village. However, Le Yao said such words, which was too incredible for the village chief.

Roben smiled at the village chief and said, "Uncle, maybe she can really help the village get this done. You are looking forward to her coming to the village next time."

The village chief's lips were trembling with excitement. He grabbed Le Yao's hand and kept holding it, but he didn't know what to say. At this moment, I finally saw Le Yao let go of her obsession. She no longer expected that this village would become the garden in her dreams, so she wanted to open a development path for the village to the outside world.

So who will not change in living in this world?... At this moment, I feel even more reluctant to think about whether to be the same person I used to be. My current mentality is also a kind of growth for me. Is it because I don’t consider starting a family and starting a business at this age, and I still hold a guitar, wear rivet leather jackets all day long, play with personality and unrestrainedness in the bar?

The excited village chief finally let go of Le Yao's hand, and we said goodbye to everyone again, but after walking a few steps, we heard a girl's voice coming from behind: "Sister Le Yao wait... wait!"

The three of us turned around at the same time, and then saw a little girl about 6 years old, carrying a basket in her hand and running towards us. Then she stuffed the basket into Le Yao's hand and said with a childlike smile: "Sister Le Yao, this is the wild fruit I picked on the mountain. It's very sweet. Please give it to you for food..."

Le Yao took the small bamboo basket from her, touched her hair, but her eyes were filled with tears, and said to me and Robben and me: "Her nickname is girl. A few years ago, my father was working outside. After his work injury died, her mother remarried to another place and never came back all year round. She was like an orphan, and was taken care of by neighbors and villagers!"

I looked at the girl again, and her thin body seemed to be full of the hardships of life, so I remembered Wei Xiao, who was also very unfortunate in Suzhou. Unfortunately, there are so many children in this world who are being poisoned by life, and we can meet and rescue them only a few of them!

Robben and I took out a stack of money from our wallet almost at the same time, and handed it to the village chief, asking him to take care of the girl's life. The village chief thanked him for his gratitude before he took the money from our hands. However, Le Yao hugged the girl tightly in his arms and said softly with tears in his eyes: "Girl, stay in the mountains, and wait until Sister Le Yao handles the matter in Beijing, and I will pick you up to live in Beijing... My sister wants to let you go to the best school and let you be a dignified child!"

"Sister Le Yao, what does dignity mean?"

Le Yao was a little stunned. In fact, the word dignity is heavy and even more complicated... I finally explained on her behalf: "Dignity is to make you live as happy as other children. There are many toys and delicious food every day!"

The girl smiled and held Le Yao's hand tighter: "Sister, you have to come and take me earlier. I will wait for you at the entrance of the village every day!"

Le Yao nodded heavily, and I asked her again: "Girl, if you go to a big city to live, will you be willing to give up your uncle and aunts? Are there so many children?"

The girl looked back at the people who came to see them off and said firmly: "When I become a useful person in the future, I will take my uncle, aunt, Xiaoliang, Jinhua, plums... many children to the city to let them live a good life too!"

I nodded. At this time, who dares to regard what this little girl said as a joke?...At least I don't, because I believe in the quality of people in the mountains. They will keep the word "repaying kindness" in their hearts and remember it firmly for life!
