Chapter 111: The Missing Child
The village chief's attitude is cold and hard, and he does not mince words about Jiang Chanji, but it also shows that he has a lot of backbone from the side, knowing that there are many daughters among the students of Red Leaf Academy, and the monthly pocket money may be higher than the annual income of the village, but he did not deliberately please them because of this, which further reduces the possibility that the villagers are guarding themselves and deliberately deceiving sympathy.
"Takami doesn't have it for the time being, but we want to spend the night here, and if there is another disappearance of poultry and livestock tonight, maybe we can find something...... Plus, we had three people, not two. ”
Jiang Chanji grabbed Chen Yiyi's wrist and raised one of her arms so that the village chief could see her.
"Who...... Who'......"
The village chief was caught off guard, and was frightened by Chen Yiyi, who suddenly appeared in front of him, and retreated again and again, thinking that he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. After a few seconds, he saw her school uniform on her body, and then he was shocked.
She ...... When did she come? You children, you are deliberately scaring my old man, aren't you?" he was shocked and angry, and his face turned pale.
"She's been there, she's been there since the beginning, and she's followed us around the whole village, but her ability is so good that it's hard for ordinary people to see her. Jiang Chanji explained.
The village chief didn't believe it, but after thinking about it, these two "girls" had been with him since they arrived in the village, and they never had the opportunity to meet up with other girls in the middle.
"Hehe, don't underestimate us transcendentals!" said Mio smugly, "This simple ability scares you like this, and when I use it, won't it scare you?"
Mio's pretense had an effect here, and the village chief re-examined the three of them, and couldn't help but put away his contempt.
"Well, count my previous gaffes and apologize to you. He said, "If the three of you can really help us solve this problem, we ...... We are sure to present a pennant to your school as a commendation. ”
There is nothing good in this poor village that can be used, and it is an honorary honor such as a pennant award.
"The pennant is not needed, please trust us, we want to solve this matter in the same mood as you. Jiang Chanji said.
The village chief nodded and suggested, "There are no hotels in the village, and there are many empty houses, but the conditions of my house are slightly better, why don't you stay at my house tonight?"
Jiang Chanji is not picky, just have a place to live, and follow the village chief to his house.
They had just passed by the village chief's house, and in terms of houses alone, they were indeed newer and stronger than most of the houses in the village, and the courtyard walls were higher.
When I walked to the black gate, I heard the sound of dogs barking in the yard.
"Please come in. The village chief opened the gate and invited them in.
A large black dog bound in chains barked excitedly, and the object of its barking ...... It's Mio, who may have smelled a cat on her and thought the house had been invaded.
"Silly dog, you have the ability to come here!" Mio stuck his tongue out at it and twisted his ass with a grimace, deliberately angry with it.
The big black dog angrily tried to break free from the chain, but the chain was thick and strong, and it was impossible for it to break free.
"Sister Meow, just stop for a while, this dog barks non-stop, how annoying. Jiang Chanji was so noisy by the barking of the dog that he had a headache.
"I don't want it!" This stupid dog is so energetic when he smells the cat, he must bully the cats in the village a lot, I want to be angry for the cats in the village!" Mio's sense of justice came out of nowhere, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.
The village chief walked in front, opened the door of the main house, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Child, you are here, make more delicious food in the evening...... Kuroko, stop calling!"
The big black dog was so angry that he ignored his master's orders.
At this time, a middle-aged woman in her forties rushed out of the room, although she was also in her forties, she looked much older than the teachers in the school, and the ordinary teachers in the school, due to proper maintenance, looked in their thirties.
Her face was full of panic, and she glanced at Jiang Chanji and them, "The master, did you see the donkey?"
"Isn't the donkey at home, where did I see him?" asked the village chief, inexplicably.
The middle-aged woman said anxiously: "Yes, I was still doing my homework in his house just now, and I don't know where I ran in a blink of an eye......
"Not at home?" asked the village chief.
"No, I've searched them all!" the woman said.
Jiang Chanji interjected and asked, "Who is the donkey?"
"My son, who is in primary six this year, is nicknamed Donkey. The village chief replied, turning to the woman and saying, "Did he hide in some cabinet again? Didn't he deliberately scare us like this last time?"
Miao still hated the village chief for underestimating them just now, and muttered in a low voice: "I also said that the donkey is so smart that he can do his homework, it turns out to be your son...... Donkey head, donkey brain, donkey tail......"
"No, I've looked for it all!" The woman accentuated her tone and said hurriedly: "I don't believe you can find it yourself!"
"You're a man...... I didn't believe it!" The village chief didn't want to quarrel with his wife in front of outsiders, "You can look for it again!"
The woman was so angry that she jumped to her feet and said, "I really don't!
She raised her hand and pointed to the sky, "It's going to get dark soon, and that kid is going to run outside again, what if it'......"
"No, no, even if he goes out and runs wildly, he'll be back at dinner in a while. The village chief comforted, "You don't have to be in a hurry. ”
Jiang Chanji understood that it was true that the people in the village were panicking, because of the unexplained disappearance of poultry, livestock and dogs, which made the villagers particularly nervous about the safety of their children.
They arrived here in the afternoon and followed the village chief around the village, and it was already about four or five o'clock in the evening, and the sky in a remote mountain village like this can be darkened.
Although the woman was anxious, Jiang Chanji and the village chief felt that it was not a big problem, and the children who grew up in the village often liked to run and play outside, unlike the children in the city, and they should come back when they had dinner.
The village chief urged the woman to hurry down to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but the mother and son were connected, and the mother was afraid that the child would be in danger, and where would she still be in the mood to cook, so she had to find the child and cook again.
At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open again.
"Village Chief, have you seen my Cuihua?" asked an older woman as she came in.
"You don't see your emerald flowers. The village chief replied.
When the village chief's wife heard this, she hurriedly said: "Third aunt, your cuihua is gone? Oh my mother, my donkey is gone!"
She was worried that something would happen to her child, and she felt that the sky was about to fall, and she was about to sit on the ground and cry.
It's understandable that one child is missing, but two children are missing at the same time, which is a bit strange.
