Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 537 Old House

"What should we do now?" Shen Mengying asked Li Teng helplessly.

Now the two of them are on the verge of a desperate situation and have to find a way to survive. Just complaining about "grass" and the like will not help.

"If you have any difficulties, go to the government."

Li Teng wrote a line of words on his mobile phone.

"Is it useful?" Shen Mengying was not confident.

"What age is this? Our country is no longer what it used to be. The aid system in this area should be very complete." Li Teng replied to Shen Mengying in a long paragraph.

In his current condition, half of his head is gone and half of his body cannot move. He is severely disabled.

Shen Mengying still has big problems with her waist. There are more than a dozen comminuted fractures all over her body, which makes her unable to use her hands and feet, and she has difficulty walking.

Both of them are disabled, right? Society cannot ignore them.

At Li Teng's suggestion, Shen Mengying dialed 110.

The police came to question the two people and learned about the difficulties they were facing. As expected, they enthusiastically suggested that they go to the civil affairs department to seek help.

Seeing the special situation of the two, the police decided to arrange a car to take them to the civil affairs department.

The police helped Shen Mengying push Li Teng to the street, then took out his mobile phone to make a call to ask his colleagues to arrange a car.

At this moment, a car drove over at high speed from a street not far away, lost control and crashed into the roadside.

Just as he was about to hit the cart where Li Teng was lying, the driver of the car turned the steering wheel hard and hit the policeman who was talking on his cell phone next to him, knocking the policeman away.

Li Teng's cart was also taken away. Li Teng was thrown out of the cart. The handle of the cart hit Shen Mengying's mouth, causing her mouth to be filled with blood.

Li Teng was thrown to the ground and half of his head almost hit the flower bed on the roadside, missing it by just a centimeter.

But the policeman was not so lucky.

After he was knocked away, his head fell heavily to the ground and he died heroically.

"What's going on?" Shen Mengying covered her mouth and cried to Li Teng.

Li Teng propped up his body with one hand and sat up, motioning Shen Mengying to pick up his phone, and then typed a line of words on the phone.

"This is a curse. If we ask for help, the people who help us will be harmed. It is also a warning. This time we asked for help, the two of us almost died. If we dare to ask for help again, we will not only suffer minor injuries."

"The arrangement of the director and screenwriter?" Shen Mengying had a look of fear on her face.

"The plot arrangement is a dead end. Looking at it now, the rules may not allow us to ask for help and we can only rely on ourselves. If we ask for help from others, it will only become worse." Li Teng answered Shen Mengying on his mobile phone.

"How can we survive in our current situation without asking for help from others? We will simply starve to death!" Shen Mengying became even more desperate. After taking Li Teng out of the hospital, she was already penniless.

Now the two of them still owe the hospital tens of thousands in unpaid treatment fees.

If they are not allowed to seek help from society, there is no way they can survive!

"As God moves forward, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement." Li Teng thought for a while and replied to Shen Mengying on his mobile phone.

"I'm hungry, but this chicken soup can't fill my stomach." Shen Mengying was speechless at Li Teng's soul-toxic chicken soup.

But what Li Teng did next surprised Shen Mengying.

He actually held the flower bed with one hand and tried to stand up with one foot!

Shen Mengjiu reached out to help Li Teng, but Li Teng pushed him away.

Veins popped out on Li Teng's forehead, and big beads of sweat fell down.

However, he finally stood up on one foot on his own!

Shen Mengying looked at this scene and couldn't believe her eyes.

The doctor said that because half of Li Teng's head was removed, it would be impossible for him to stand up again in his life.

But right in front of her eyes, he stood up on one hand and one leg!

How much perseverance this takes!

He's right.

As heaven moves forward, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!

Shen Mengying couldn't help but think of the scene after she was injured.

She felt sorry for herself all day long. Even though the doctor said she could stand, she still couldn't stand up.

Until something happened to Li Teng, she had no choice but to hold on to the wall and stand up.

Li Teng's injuries were obviously much more serious than hers.

But he stood up with his own will and belief.

No wonder he could survive in such a cruel environment in the film and television city and be promoted to such a high level.

She is really far worse than him.

After Li Teng stood up, he tried to jump forward with one foot. He almost lost his footing and fell, but in the end he was able to stabilize his body on his own.

Police cars and ambulances rushed over.

The two were taken to the police station to explain the situation.

Of course, the responsibility lies with the driver and has nothing to do with the two of them.

It was just that something happened to the policeman while rescuing them, so he asked them what kind of communication the policeman had with them before he died in the line of duty.

The two answered truthfully.

The police decided to continue to contact the two for rescue.

But Shen Mengying refused.

According to Li Teng's request, she asked the police to write an IOU to borrow money, saying that she wanted to buy a bus ticket to go to Li Teng's relatives in the countryside.

The police did not agree to lend them money, but helped them contact the rescue station.

After sending the two to the rescue station to go through some procedures, the rescue station provided them with food and helped them buy what they said were tickets to go to their relatives.

While the police were doing all this, Li Teng and Shen Mengying were on tenterhooks, worried that another accident would happen, and even gave them extra punishment.

Fortunately, everything is safe for now.

Li Teng had an ID card and the rescue procedure went smoothly.

But Shen Mengying was in some trouble.

She is still recorded in the police system and is a person whose identity cannot be verified.

In the end, with the coordination of the police, she was bought the same ticket as Li Teng and was sent to the long-distance bus station by the rescue station staff.

Li Teng had no relatives in the countryside.

He just remembered the ancestral home he visited when he was a child, which was the old house of his deceased grandparents in the countryside.

After my grandparents later moved to the city, the old house in the countryside was abandoned.

After being abandoned, it fell into disrepair and it is estimated that the houses have collapsed.

But the homestead should still be there, and it should belong to Li Teng now.

Of course, the homestead is still there and has not been expropriated and used for other purposes, mainly because the village where the ancestral home is located has been almost completely abandoned, the young people have left, and the older people have almost died.

That land has little development value, so there is a high possibility that the homestead will be preserved.

Now Li Teng and Shen Mengying can't even find a place to stay in the city, and it's difficult to survive.

That's why Li Teng came up with this idea and wanted to try his luck in the countryside.

At the same time, it is also to avoid the disaster deliberately arranged by the director and screenwriter.

In cities, the possibility of disasters and accidents is too great.

It is difficult to prevent objects thrown from high altitudes, car accidents, etc.

Although there are various dangers in the countryside, they seem to be relatively less.

Under the current situation, Li and Teng should try their best to interact with other people as little as possible, otherwise they will harm others.

Although they are just NPCs in the plot world, there is no need to implicate those innocent people who helped them.

They took a car to the rural passenger station. After leaving the passenger station, with Shen Mengying's support, Li Teng skipped forward, walking and resting for a while. The further they walked, the more deserted they were. With great difficulty, they arrived at the location of Li Teng's ancestral home.

The village where his ancestral home is located is more desolate than Li Teng imagined.

The whole thing has been abandoned.

There is no one left, it has completely become a dead village.

Of course there is no water or electricity.

The ancestral house of Li Teng's family had collapsed long ago, leaving only a few walls that had not completely collapsed.

Fortunately, a few complete houses can still be found in the village.

The house also has stoves, iron pots, wooden cabinets and other daily necessities.

Even more fortunately, the old people who lived here before liked to grow some vegetables in front of and behind the house.

Although most of the land in front of and behind the house has been taken over by weeds, you can still see some stubbornly growing vegetables among the weeds.

With these things, at least the two of them would not starve to death.

The two found a relatively complete and clean house and settled down.

Then he went out to pick vegetables. Li Teng recognized the leaves of the sweet potatoes and used the shovel he found in one hand to dig out several large sweet potatoes under the ground.

In this way, the problem of staple food is also solved.

Although there is no water or electricity, several houses have wells installed in their courtyards.

And it can pump out water.

I collected leaves and branches, lit a fire and stuffed them into the stove.

Sweet potatoes were stuffed near the burning firewood.

Various vegetables collected were cooked in the scrubbed iron pot.

After roasted sweet potatoes and vegetable soup were served on the table, the two disabled people who had been cruelly teased by fate finally found the feeling of home again.

"Under the arrangements of the shameless directors and screenwriters, we may encounter more misfortunes, but as long as we don't give up and persist, we will definitely one day successfully complete the plot mission." Li Teng typed on his mobile phone , comforting Shen Mengying.

"Well, if it hadn't been for Director Li, I might not have been able to carry on. I'm lucky to have met you." Shen Mengying admired Li Teng very much.

"In our current situation, it's difficult to survive alone. We need to help each other to survive." Li Teng said a few more words on his mobile phone.

"Yes, when I was hit, Director Li did not give up on me. Later when Director Li got into trouble, I did not give up on Director Li either. We must help each other to survive." Shen Mengying deeply agreed with this.

"There is something I urgently need your help with right now." Li Teng mentioned it to Shen Mengying.

"Director Li, tell me."

"When I was digging sweet potatoes just now, I used too much force on my hand. Now I can't lift it at all. It's a big problem for me to eat." Li Teng looked at the roasted sweet potatoes and vegetable soup in front of him with a painful look on his face.

"It doesn't matter, I'll feed you." Shen Mengying quickly took on the matter.

"sorry to trouble you."

"Yes, we should help each other."

After eating, it gradually became dark.

There is no electricity in the village, and Li Teng's cell phone battery will soon be exhausted.

Shen Mengying found a barely usable pen and paper in the old house and gave it to Li Teng so that he could communicate by writing.

Next, Shen Mengying boiled several pots of water for the two of them to take a bath.

After coming all the way and collecting vegetables and sweet potatoes, both of them were covered in stinky sweat.

"I'm so dirty, but I can't feel this hand. I can't lift it because it's injured and I can't use my strength. I can't wash it myself. It's really painful." Li Teng looked helpless and wrote on the paper with a pen.

"If you don't mind, I can help you wash it." Shen Mengying said to Li Teng sincerely.

In her eyes, Li Teng was a very respectable senior.

"Why is that so embarrassing? It's also inconvenient." Li Teng shook his head and continued writing on the paper, his expression seemed a little shy.

"I don't care about girls, but you, a grown man, find it inconvenient." Shen Mengying found Li Teng's expression amusing because she had never seen Li Teng shy before.

"Oh, that's really troublesome for you." Li Teng became even more embarrassed.

"It's fine."

Although Shen Mengying said it was okay, when she actually did it, she was indeed a little embarrassed.

Especially some things that I have never seen before.

She couldn't help but think of the firewood she had collected earlier.

Although the senior’s brain is severely damaged, his body is still very normal!

"Thank you so much for asking you to wash it when it's so dirty." Li Teng took out the handwritten words, and the expression on his face became more and more embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Mengying scrubbed vigorously.

Li Teng wanted to stop her, but half of his head was gone and he was speechless.

It was too late to write by hand.

Things seem to be in trouble.
