"Then I'll call the other two and see if there's anything I find?"

Hu Mingchen took out his mobile phone and called, but Hu Jianqiang and they got through all the way, they had already crossed the Xianren Bridge and were almost on the street of Fangerzhen, and they didn't find any suspicious people or cows. Tong Bailiang and Zhang Qingping's way, the signal was too poor to make a phone call at all.

Tong Baiguo and Hu Jianjun discussed, and asked Hu Jianqiang and them not to look for it, come back, there are more traffic roads in Fanger Town, and there will be no clear direction. As for Tong Bailiang and Zhang Qingping, it is estimated that you are in the mountains and valleys on the other side of the Qingshui River, there is no signal, if they have not found it when they arrive at the Qingshui River, they should also go home by themselves.

Hu Mingchen was talking on the phone with a strange little thing, which soon attracted some babies who got up early, and several of them ran to his side to see his diorama. And one of them turned out to be his cousin Zhu Jin.

"Zhu Jin, why did you come here? Where are your parents?" Hu Jianjun pulled Zhu Jin to him and asked.

"Second uncle, my parents went to work in the mountains. Zhu Jin is six years old, and his crotch is still a little unstable, but it does not affect his recognition of Hu Jianjun and Hu Mingchen.

"It's up the mountain, it's so early...... What about your sister Zhu Yan? Did you go to school?" Thinking that he had just asked Tong Baiguo to go to Hu Youqin's house for a cup of tea, and now that the adults were not at home, Hu Jianjun was a little embarrassed.

"Not yet, my sister is cooking sweet potatoes, second uncle, do you want to eat a sweet potato?" Zhu Jin asked childishly.

"Brother, don't go and make trouble for the doll, go, go to my sister's house, go to his house and eat everything and then walk back, forget if the cow can't find it, Lao Tzu admits bad luck." Tong Baiguo said.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Tong Baimei is also married in Wenshan Village, but now I go to her house so early, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" Hu Jianjun said.

So early, either people haven't gotten up yet, and if they do, they have to go up and down the mountains to work, and now they are looking for trouble.

"Oh, where is there anything suitable or inappropriate, I am the eldest brother, when I go to the village, go to my sister and brother-in-law's house to eat breakfast on the hour, what will be inappropriate, go, go, they usually don't go out to work so early. Tong Baiguo said that he was about to leave with Hu Jianjun.

"That's okay, Xiao Chen, let's go, Zhu Jin, hurry home, my sister will go to school in a while, and you still have to take care of the house at home." "It was inconvenient for Hu Jianjun to take Zhu Jin with him, so he had to explain and urge him to go home.

Tong Baiguo's younger sister Tong Baimei's family lives in the west of Wenshan Village, which belongs to the edge of the village. The back door of his house is close to the road, but the road is on higher ground, and his house is under the road, and the main entrance and the courtyard dam at the door have to be bypassed from the toilet position on the side to see it.

Tong Baiguo took Hu Jianjun and Hu Mingchen all the way to the gate of Tong Baimei's house, the door was hidden, Tong Baiguo pushed the door in without knocking: "Cai Dinggui, Cai Dinggui, Tong Baimei ......"

"Oh, big brother, why are you here?" The door of the wing room opened, and Tong Baiguo's sister Tong Baimei walked out of it.

The strange thing is that when Tong Baimei saw Tong Baiguo, she didn't seem to be happy and surprised, but with nervousness and surprise on her face.

"Third sister, you're up, what about Cai Dinggui? You went out to work or didn't you get up?" Tong Baiguo didn't notice the strange look on Tong Baimei's face, "Hello, third sister, don't you know Second Brother Hu?"

"Oh, oh, Second Brother Hu, do it quickly, do it quickly, Cai Dinggui is still in bed and hasn't gotten up, I just got up, you do it first, I'll call him to get up." Tong Baimei was reminded, and then greeted Hu Jianjun.

Hu Mingchen is a little doll, but he doesn't need to say hello, if he likes to sit, he will find a bench to sit on.

However, Hu Mingchen was not in the mood to sit at this time, he was looking around with interest, just like an ordinary child who had arrived in a strange place, anyway, he was restless.

Two or three minutes after Tong Baimei entered the bedroom of the wing, Tong Baiguo's brother-in-law, Cai Dinggui, came out while dressing: "Hehe, eldest brother, why did you expect to come to Wenshan Village so early? ”

Cai Dinggui looked relatively normal, smiling, but on his thin face, the little thief eyes flickered left and right, and he was a little absent-minded.

"If it weren't for something, I would have come to Wenshan Village just after dawn, my cow was stolen in the middle of the night last night, and we were looking for cattle to find here......" Tong Baiguo sighed.

"Ah!" Hearing that it was looking for a cow, Tong Baimei exclaimed.

After calling it, I realized that it was inappropriate, and quickly covered my mouth.

"What's your name, really, hurry up and boil some water, make some tea, and see if there are noodles, if there are two bowls of noodles, big brother, they have walked so far, they should be thirsty and hungry." Cai Dinggui waved his hand very dissatisfied and sent Tong Baimei away.

"Oh, okay, okay. Tong Baimei moved towards the kitchen, but her steps were relatively slow, and she turned around after two or three steps, as if she was very worried that her eldest brother's cattle had been stolen.

"This woman, she can't be stable when she encounters things, the eldest brother smokes, and the second brother Hu smokes. After Tong Baimei entered the kitchen, Cai Dinggui picked up a pack of paper cigarettes from the table of the Eight Immortals under the shrine and gave Tong Baiguo and Hu Jianjun a cigarette.

"Big brother, how do you know that the cattle were stolen from Wenshan Village? Did you see the cattle stolen? Or did you find something?" After helping the two of them light cigarettes, Cai Dinggui asked with interest.

"When we found that the cow was stolen, the shadow of the cow was gone, we were divided into several roads to find, I and Brother Hu went to Wenshan Village, and found some footprints and cow birds along the way, but I was not sure. Hey, it's really unlucky, my cow has only been fed for less than a year, if the cow thief is caught by Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will not stone him to death. As soon as he thought that the cow worth thousands of yuan was gone, Tong Baiguo gritted his teeth and smoked a big cigarette.

"Yes, these cattle thieves are really damned, it's not easy to feed a cow, and if you say steal, you steal. Big brother, you take a breath, drink some water and eat something, and I'll look around with you in a while. Cai Dinggui followed with righteous indignation.

"What else are you looking for, I haven't found it at dawn, it's probably difficult, not to mention that I don't even have a clear direction. Hu Jianjun said.

"Yes, it's a shame, Lao Tzu thinks he's unlucky, and he says fuck, that bastard who stole cattle, Lao Tzu's cattle are not enough to bury his whole family if he sells them. Tong Baiguo scolded in frustration.

"Yes, yes, if a cow is stolen, his family will not be rich, this kind of person will have retribution. Cai Dinggui awkwardly echoed.

Hu Mingchen has been observing everything coldly, whether it is the environment or Cai Dinggui and Tong Baimei, it doesn't matter if he doesn't observe, the more he observes, the more doubts he becomes. He even noticed that after Tong Baimei entered the kitchen, he was not busy boiling water and making breakfast to serve guests, but hiding behind the curtain at the kitchen door to eavesdrop on the conversation in the hall.

"Big brother, second brother Hu, you sit first, why hasn't the tea been served yet, I'll go and see if Tong Baimei can't find the tea?" Seeing Hu Mingchen staring at the kitchen door, Cai Dinggui followed and glanced at Tong Baimei's shoes, his face sank for a moment, and then he stood up and squeezed out a smile.

"Daddy, Dad, I'll take a look outside. Cai Dinggui went to the kitchen, and Hu Mingchen also got up from the bench at the door.

"It's okay to go around, but don't go far, you're not familiar with this side. Hu Jianjun nodded and admonished.

"You know, I'll take a look in the yard. ”

......

"Cai Dinggui, didn't you say that the cow you brought back was from Longjiazhai? Tell me honestly, is the cow you stole back from my eldest brother's?" Cai Dinggui pushed Tong Baimei down on the side of the kang as soon as he entered the kitchen, but before he could speak, Tong Baimei grabbed his clothes and asked.

"Be quiet, be quiet...... What are you talking about at this time, let's send them away first. Cai Dinggui hurriedly covered Tong Baimei's mouth and said in a low voice.

Although Cai Dinggui did not admit it, he did not deny it either.

"If you let me go, tell me if it's okay. Tong Baimei shook off Cai Dinggui's hand, glared at him angrily and asked.

In fact, Cai Dinggui is tantamount to acquiescing, but Tong Baimei just doesn't give up.

"Yes, I admit that it is......" Cai Dinggui sighed and gritted his teeth to admit it.

"Are you still human? You also stole my brother's cattle. Tong Baimei punched Cai Dinggui in the chest, but she seemed to be on guard, the scolding in her mouth was not too loud, she was still afraid of being heard by Tong Baiguo and Hu Jianjun outside: "Who are you not good at, you actually hit my eldest brother's head with a thousand knives, how can you let me have the face to face their family in the future?" I think you might as well die." ”

"Oh, I can't be blamed for this, it was Shen Laosan's hand, I didn't steal it, I only knew that he stole it, and I couldn't return it at that time." What's the use of talking about this now, stealing everything, we can only pretend that we don't know, I'm not just for myself, it's not for this family. Cai Dinggui looked left and right without confidence.

"I can't call my eldest brother's house for any reason, no, the cow must be returned, I don't care about anything else, this thing just can't work. Tong Baimei became a little excited.

"Also, still, how can I pay it back now, do you want to tell him that his cattle were stolen by me and Shen Laosan? Is that going to prison or do you want me to fight with your eldest brother? Even if I am willing, I will return it now, and you will have a face? Your eldest brother and second brother's family think you are a good girl?" Cai Dinggui said with a lower face.

“...... I don't care about that. ”

"You...... You see if this will work, the matter cannot be admitted, when I sell the cattle, the big deal is that I will find a way to compensate him for the money from the sale of the cattle, I will throw the money at the door of his house, so that his family can pick up the money in the morning, this will always work......" In order to appease Tong Baimei, Cai Dinggui used his brains and said nonsense.
