The vastness of the desert, I have never been to it, and I am absolutely unimaginable.

Every time Cai Hongming drives on this yellow sand, he always feels a throbbing that is impacted by his soul. It is a speechless feeling, just like you see or hear something that touches you, and you will tremble and get goosebumps all over, and you can't tell it.

It was autumn again, and it was time for the plateau herders to sell livestock.

At this time, the cattle and sheep were full in spring and summer, and were full of fat, and were the most valuable to sell.

After this season, the weather turns cold. In order to resist the cold, the fat body of cattle and sheep will lose weight day by day. It is not cost-effective to sell it. These are the little thoughts of the shepherd family and are not worth laughing at.

After the sweet potatoes and rice are harvested, the fields in Xidu Shengjing are ploughed again, and fertilized fertilizers such as cattle and ostrich manure that have been piled up in the corners, and then covered them with plastic greenhouses to prepare for growing vegetables. It is only October, and it is still early in the Spring Festival, so you can grow vegetables for one season. If you are growing fast, you can grow them for two seasons.

Now everyone is helping to build plastic greenhouses to grow vegetables. Cai Hongming originally wanted to go to the herdsmen to collect cattle and sheep, but Jidong said that a comrade happened to be in the Tibetan area, so he followed him.

"Tell left at the intersection in front." Ji Dong directed the road in the car.

After hearing this, Cai Hongming drove to the fork in the road.

Although this desert truck was bought by Xiang Tuoba Niu, it is of good quality and durable. After using it for so long, no problems occurred. Cai Hongming thought about whether he would buy another one, just one, and he was a little too busy in Xidu Shengjing. Besides, it was not expensive. The procedures were complete and only 80,000 yuan. Whoever didn't buy it would be a fool.

When the road is forked forward, it is a bumpy dirt road. When you sit in the car, you can feel the bumps of the road.

After a while, I finally arrived at the destination and came to a small village where loess and mud and bricks were mixed together. I parked my car, and Ji Dong got out of the car with Cai Hongming and walked into the village with the things I brought.

Ji Dong's comrade-in-arms is Xiahou Kungang. He met him when he was not admitted to a special forces soldier. He took good care of him in the army. After retiring from the army, he went home to drive and resell some wild goods in the mountains. His life was pretty good. Ji Dong came home when he visited his relatives the year before yesterday and found that his house had already built a building.

Ji Dong walked to the building of his comrades' house. He looked at the door and closed it. Then he went up and knocked on the door and shouted, "Xiahou, Xiahou, I am Jidong, are you here? Open the door."

After calling a few times, no one opened the door. Ji Dong didn't realize it was strange, so he picked up his cell phone and called. Last time he came over, he had his comrades' phone number, but he heard the voice "This number is an empty number, please check it before dialing it."

What's going on?

"Who are you looking for?" Just as he was at a loss, an old man came from beside him.

"Old man, we are here to find Xiahou Kungang. I am his comrade-in-arms. Isn't he at home?" Ji Dong asked hurriedly.

"It's Xiahou's kid! That kid is pitiful! He has no father or mother since he was a child, and grew up with his grandfather. Later, he made a fortune and married a good wife, but his grandfather left. The disaster never came singularly. He drove another car accident last year and even sold the house. It's pitiful!"

The old man said a lot, but Ji Dong suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this. "Car accident? Sell the house."

"Or where would you get the money for treatment?" The old man said angrily and took the two to Xiahou Kungang's home.

"Here. That's it, you guys go there yourself!" After looking at the house, the old man shook his head in sighs, turned around and left.

Ji Dong looked at the dirt house with a crack in front of him, which was hard to imagine. I remember when I came back two years ago, how could it be like this in a blink of an eye? I was anxious and wanted to ask Xiahou Kungang for a clear answer, so I quickly walked in. There was a small courtyard inside, which was quite neat. Two bedrooms and one living room, the kitchen and dining place on the right, and the toilet and the place where the miscellaneous items were placed on the left. Several houses filled the space with no room for space.

Ji Dong was anxious and walked into the house without looking closely.

There was no one in the hall, so he just went into the house, not afraid of finding the wrong place and being beaten to death.

When he arrived in the room next to him, when he saw a scene in front of him, his eyes were filled with tears and almost flowing down. In the small room, Xiahou Kungang was lying on the bed motionless, and a beautiful little girl next to him was reading to him. He didn't expect that the generous man who was laughing with him in the army would actually fall to this point.

Xiahou Kungang, who was lying on the bed, was just hemiplegic, and the rest of the room was still fine.

Just as he was listening to his daughter's study, he suddenly felt someone coming in. He turned his head and saw that it was Ji Dong, and he smiled and said, "A Dong, you are here."

"Xiahou, why did you become like this?" Ji Dong could no longer hold back his tears, and all of them were flowing out.

"It's nothing, it's just bad luck. Someone suddenly ran out when the car was on the road. In order to avoid it, the brakes were in a hurry. The wheel accidentally slipped and fell to the side. Several ribs were broken, the legs were broken, and the spine was broken. It was like this. It was lucky to save a life." Xiahou Kungang said with a smile.

Although Ji Dong could feel the bitter tears and speechless sadness hidden in it.

?A man who was originally in charge, as the pillar of the family, suddenly changed from taking care of others to being cared for by others. Not everyone can bear this, let alone his comrade-in-arms with a strong sense of self-esteem? I guess this is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Hongming, please help him see."

Ji Dong said to Cai Hongming, and then said to Xiahou Kungang: "This is Hongming. Their family specializes in treating bone injuries. Let him help you see how the situation is?"

Xiahou Kungang pulled his face and wanted to say nothing. He had broken his spine, not a minor injury, and he could be cured at all. But in the end he didn't say it because he couldn't refuse the kindness of his friend.

Cai Hongming walked up to him, lifted the quilt covered by him, and prepared to take off his clothes.

At this time, the little girl who was obediently staying beside him and listening to them suddenly rushed over and shouted, "You can't take off my father's clothes."

Suddenly there was a sound outside, and a haggard woman ran in panic. She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Xiahou Kungang being fine.

"Gaga, what's wrong?" the woman asked to her daughter who was holding her father tightly. Gaga is cute in Tibetan, and it means beloved, which shows how deep the mother loves her daughter.

"He wants to take off his father's clothes so that his father will catch a cold." said Gaga pointing at Cai Hongming angrily.

"Gaga, uncle is helping his father with medical treatment, it's okay." Xiahou Kungang touched his daughter's head and introduced to the woman: "Davacuo, Ji Dong has come, you have seen it. This is his friend Hongming. Ji Dong, you haven't come for two years, Gaga has forgotten you. Remember that you had hugged her before? Gaga, call her uncle."

Gaga was so shy that she hid behind her mother and didn't dare to come out.

Cai Hongming realized that he was indeed a little confused. It would be a matter of a short time to check the wound. Xiahou Kungang has been suffering from a half-life now. If he gets sick due to a cold, it would be amazing. After thinking about it, he wanted to take him to Xidu Shengjing for treatment. After all, the environment there is better and it is convenient to use medicine. As for sending it to my father, it is not necessary. There are already Liu Chong and his comrade-in-arms Grand Secretary there, and the house can't accommodate so many people, so don't bother. Besides, he also believes in his medical skills. He can be said to be better than his father, and his father may not be able to compare himself.

Xiahou Kungang shook his head after hearing Cai Hongming's suggestion.

He knew that his injury was impossible to cure, so he didn't want to make trouble, but he couldn't resist his comrades' advice. In addition, he heard him say that the bullet had penetrated a hole in his shoulder, but now it has been cured, and he also has a little hope in his heart. Who doesn't want to be a healthy person and enjoy life safely?

There were only a few people sitting in front of the desert truck, and the back was too shaky, so it was not suitable to put Xiahou Kungang behind, so Cai Hongming asked Li Chun to drive his modified off-road car from Xidu Shengjing.

It was already afternoon when Li Chun drove here in a car, and it would be too late to go back. It was not safe to drive in the desert at night, and Xiahou Kungang's family could not live in, so they went to the nearby town for one night. The next morning, Cai Hongming asked Li Chun to take Xiahou Kungang's family back. Because Ji Dong was the only familiar person Xiahou Kungang, he asked him to go back too. He himself continued to drive to the herdsmen to collect cattle and sheep. (To be continued)
