Chapter 276 The will-o'-the-wisp is coming

After making a phone call to deal with him, Tan Zhida and Liu Yishou also set off, but the car only drove a few dozen meters before Liu Yishou stopped.

"Out of gas."

"Didn't you refuel when you left?"

"Remember it was added."

"Is that the fuel tank leaking?"

I got out of the car and checked, the fuel tank was fine.

Liu Yishou patted his head, remembering that he really forgot to refuel when he went out.

The two of them walked back to Lao Fu to see if he had any gasoline at home.

Lao Fu's house only has diesel, not gasoline.

Lao Fu's son said that he saw a car at Moon Castle, five miles away, so he could take a pot and go to the master for some.

This was a good idea, but they didn't know the way to Moon Castle, so they let Lao Fu's son lead them.

The small car was parked at the entrance of Moon Castle Village. There was no one beside the car. When he got closer, Tan Zhida grabbed Liu Yishou, turned around and left.

Standing under the shadow of a tree, Tan Zhida whispered to Liu Yishou that he was familiar with this car. If it was really driven by that person, he couldn't borrow the gasoline.

Liu Yishou said: "Why?"

Tan Zhida said: "This man is easy to talk to and very difficult to deal with. If you ask him to borrow gasoline, he will give you ten kilograms today and you will have to pay back fifty kilograms later."

"How can there be such a greedy person?"

"That's who he is."

"Have you dealt with him?"

"Not only that, he and I can be said to be incompatible."

"What should I do? I have to go back tonight."

"Call the mine and ask them to deliver it."

"This is the only car in the mine. Besides, there is no gasoline in the mine, and flammable and explosive items are not usually allowed to be stored."

Liu Yishou continued: "It's a long way to the mine and it's too late. Why don't you call back and ask someone from your company to deliver it."

Tan Zhida looked into the distance and said: "Far water will not save the near fire."

"What should I do?"

"There is a way."

Tan Zhida called Lao Fu's son aside and explained. The method he said was to arrange for Yang's son to steal gasoline from the car.

After getting the answer, Tan Zhida turned around and asked Liu Yishou: "Do you have any money on you?"

Liu Yishou took out a fifty and a twenty.

He took it all and gave it to Lao Fu's son. Xiao Fu took the money, took the hose and oil barrel, and went for half an hour, bringing back half a barrel of oil.

Tan Zhida said: "This is too little."

Xiao Fu said: "There wasn't much fuel in the tank. I heard a sputtering sound and was sucking air."

Liu Yishou understood the car's performance and said, "It's enough to drive back."

"You mean this amount of gasoline is enough to drive back?"

"Don't hit the accelerator when going downhill, just use a little more belt speed on flat roads, and that's about it."

Liu Yishou was cautious and calculated, and finally drove to a gas station on the outskirts of the city, filled up with gas, sent Tan Zhida back to his residence, and rushed back to the mine overnight.

Lao Fu here is busy pleading with everyone. His son is about to take the high school entrance examination. I hope everyone can understand and not be affected by this matter.

Xing Yi made it clear: "He was also instigated by others. It is that person's responsibility that needs to be investigated." He did not say that he knew both of those two people. He just hummed and said, "They are both famous and have status." Humans are capable of such despicable things."

Lao Fu bent down sharply and bowed to Xing Yi repeatedly to apologize.

There is no gasoline and the car cannot move. I have to stay at the Moon Castle tonight and wait until tomorrow to find a solution.

When the house was crowded, the table was moved to the yard, and everyone sat around, drinking tea and smoking.They talked about everything, about the affairs of this village and that village, the affairs of this and that family, the health of the elderly, and the children's studies.

The eldest aunt asked the third aunt how to arrange the study of the two nephews.

Third aunt said: "What else can we do? Once the holidays are over, we have to go to the village primary school to register."

My eldest aunt said: "The quality of the village-run primary school is not high, and you can't learn anything good. I don't look stupid, so don't just deal with studying."

Third aunt said: "Of course, it would be best to go to the town to study, but there are no relatives in the town, and the school does not have dormitories."

The person who got engaged picked up this topic and said that the change of the fate of rural children depends entirely on the vision of their parents. There are many children who are no worse than those in the city. It is because the parents are short-sighted and do not think well. Of course, some of them have too many conditions. Too bad to consider. "

"No, there is a saying that you lose at the starting line."

"There is a family in our village. The child has been smart since he was a child. His parents listened to others' suggestions, so he asked everyone to lead the way. He picked up pig legs, chickens and ducks and went to the city. He recognized a family member. That family member was great. He was in the tap water He worked as an accountant in the company and agreed to let the baby stay in his house. The family only had one daughter, so he treated him as a little brother and helped him with his homework. In just half a year, the baby came back to the village and stopped at the village primary school. , is the first, there is no comparison.”

"This family has a good eye for finding such a good family."

"Isn't that true? He bragged to us, saying that only by fate can we meet noble people."

At this point, I saw the aunt suddenly raised his hand and said loudly: "Your Excellency? Yes, your words have reminded us." He turned around, took Xing Yi's teacup, and asked his family to quickly add water, holding both hands Give Xing Yi the teacup land.

Xing Yili hurriedly picked it up with both hands.He said: "My two nephews were saved by you. The savior is a noble man. This is really arranged by God. We are destined to meet thousands of miles away, but we don't know each other by chance. Today we have this opportunity, so I say, three Auntie, what are you waiting for when you go to town during the holiday? What’s the point of town? The nobles in the city are right in front of you. If you don’t recognize them quickly, when are you waiting? "

The third aunt was startled for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses: "Isn't that true? I have been confused all day long. If it weren't for my uncle's words, I haven't woken up from the dream." Turning to Xing Yi, he raised his fists and said, "He will never be able to repay your kindness in this life. Today, in front of my aunt and uncle's relatives, I will officially express my stance and send these two sons away." I give them to you, let them be your godsons, so that there is hope for their training and education."

After saying that, he came to Xing Yi, swaying and bending his knees, as if he was going to kneel down to Xing Yi. Xing Yi was so frightened that he quickly put his hands around his elbows, supported him, and said hurriedly: "You Sit down first, sit down first, and speak slowly if you have anything to say.”

Just as the younger son ran in, his father waved and said, "Where's your brother? Go and call him, and you can come together to become your godfather."

But the younger son raised a branch, pointed into the distance and said, "Look, will-o'-the-wisp, will-o'-the-wisp."

A group of dolls rushed in behind them, shouting at the top of their lungs: "The will-o'-the-wisp is coming, the will-o'-the-wisp is coming."

The adults stopped talking, raised their heads, and looked in the direction of the children. There were indeed several fires flickering on the mountains in the distance.

The children were still shouting, but the eldest uncle sternly stopped them: "Don't talk nonsense, it's a will-o'-the-wisp, it's a fire, a fire made by people."

The children stopped shouting, and an adult said: "It seems to be a wild boar's den, a place where no one usually goes. How can we light a fire at this time?"

The courtyard was quiet for a while, except for loud and stingy breathing.
