Chapter 678: The Village
After getting out of the car, they followed the men to say goodbye, and then went to the minibus with the fellow travelers.
The man was familiar with the route, he worked at the post office in their village, and he often came out to run errands.
So I knew a lot about the time of the minibus, so I went directly to the station and got on the bus to Zhangjiacun.
Zhangjia Village is relatively remote, but the distance is not far, why do we say it is remote? It is because this village is in a ravine, that is, the bus does not pass through the village, but stops on the main road across the river, and then enters the village by foot, and has to walk for more than 20 minutes.
In this car, Lin Xiaowan also understood all these thoroughly, and this time when she came out, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were wearing more casual clothes and shoes, and they were also ready to walk.
When they arrived at the intersection into the village, the driver stopped the car, and the two followed the leader to thank him, and then got out of the car with his things.
Looking at the road ahead, fortunately, there is no need to go over the mountains and mountains, that is, after the aisle, walk for a while, and then cross a bridge, the bridge is a stone bridge, quite strong, and then a small village can be seen in the distance, and there are dozens of families.
Shen Lingjun looked at this village, and his heart was really unspeakably uncomfortable, because if his son had been living here, he would have suffered so much.
Lin Xiaowan took Shen Lingjun's hand: "Mom, let's go, let's find Zhan Xiao as soon as possible, and let him go home as soon as possible." ”
Shen Lingjun held back his tears and nodded: "Go." There was a lot of emotion in that word.
After the two crossed the bridge, they walked along the road.
At this time, the autumn harvest was over, so there was no one in the fields.
After walking for a while, I saw a teenage boy carrying firewood, the child saw Lin Xiaowan and Shen Lingjun, his eyes were full of surprise, and then he quickly ran to the village.
Lin Xiaowan originally wanted to ask about the child's village, but she thought that she would run away.
The two of them could only continue to walk forward, and when they reached the entrance of the village, they found that the boy just now with five or six seven or eight year-old children, standing on the edge of the big tree at the entrance of the village and watching them, all dressed in patches and black, but his eyes were very clear and curious.
Lin Xiaowan also knew that at this time, many of these ravines had not yet come into contact with the outside world, and at this time, many children had never been to the town, and it was rare to see outsiders.
Many of them don't even go to school, so there's simply no place to get more information from outside.
She took out some candy from her bag and walked over: "We are here to find people, not bad people, these candies are for you to eat, can you take me to your accountant Zhang's house?"
The kid who was carrying firewood just now was relieved when he heard Lin Xiaowan say Accountant Zhang, and nodded: "Well, I'll take you there." "He didn't dare to take the candy.
Lin Xiaowan smiled and put the candy in his hand: "You give it to them and eat it together." ”
The boy finally smiled, his dark face and neat white teeth looked particularly cute.
He took the candy, distributed it to a few children around, and then happily took Lin Xiaowan and Shen Lingjun into the village and went to Accountant Zhang's house.
This village is small, and the village cadres usually don't need to go to the village brigade if they have nothing to do.
At this time, Accountant Zhang cleaned up the chicken coop at home, it was going to be winter, and he had to make the chicken coop stronger.
When the little boy who led the way arrived at the door, he shouted inside: "Uncle Zhang, you have a visitor." ”
Accountant Zhang patted the soil on his hand and greeted the door, thinking that it was a relative at home, but he was stunned when he saw Lin Xiaowan and Shen Lingjun, he didn't have any relatives in the city, and these two people looked not only in the city, but they looked good at dressing, and he was even more blindsided.
Looking at the stupid Accountant Zhang, Lin Xiaowan spoke first: "Hello Accountant Zhang, my mother and I are here to find someone, and I happened to meet your eldest brother Wang Guocheng on the way, and he said that his sister Wang Fengmei happened to be in this village, so he introduced us to you and caused you trouble." ”
Lin Xiaowan explained the matter and the name of the person in detail, so that it could be credible.
Accountant Zhang understood the whole story, and hurriedly said, "Come into the house, come into the house and sit down." After speaking, he shouted into the house: "Fengmei, there are guests, come out quickly." "At this time, the people are still very simple and enthusiastic.
Wang Fengmei was in the house with the soles of her shoes, and when she heard the man shouting to her, she ran out: "Who is coming?" was startled when she said this, because she had never seen such a beautiful person, and this dress, she was really scared.
She hadn't been to the city for more than ten years, and she was really nervous to see such a city person.
Shen Lingjun stepped forward with a smile and said, "Sister Fengmei, we're bothered." ”
Wang Fengmei waved her hand: "Don't disturb, don't bother, hurry into the house." ”
When the husband and wife had come into the house with them, they poured water and brought apples.
Lin Xiaowan and Shen Lingjun couldn't stop it at all.
The children didn't leave, they peeked through the window.
After a while, the accountant calmed down: "That, you want to find someone, who are you looking for, as long as it is in the village, I know it." ”
Shen Lingjun said a little anxiously: "Looking for my son, I lost it for nineteen years, I lost it when I was three years old, and now I am twenty-two years old, we have just found a clue, more than ten years ago, a barefoot doctor passed by here and saved a little boy who suffered from heat stroke, saying that it looks very similar to the missing person notice I sent, and there is the same birthmark." ”
Lin Xiaowan took out the missing person notice in the bag, as well as the photos, and the one was the birthmark on Lu Zhanxiao's arm drawn by Lin Xiaowan through Shen Lingjun's depiction.
Accountant Zhang took the photo and looked at it for a while, and then beckoned Wang Fengmei: "Fengmei, do you think this is the boss picked up by Zhang Zhuzi's family, Zhang Long?"
Wang Fengmei nodded after reading it: "Yes, yes, this is when Zhang Long was a child? ”
Shen Lingjun excitedly grabbed Wang Fengmei's arm: "Sister Fengmei, is that child still in the village?"
Wang Fengmei nodded: "Here, Zhang Zhuzi is not in good health, his daughter-in-law left early, and the eldest daughter-in-law is a well-known and powerful person in the village, you have to be a little mentally prepared." ”
Hearing this, Shen Lingjun felt even more uncomfortable: "How much has this kid suffered over the years?"
Lin Xiaowan patted Shen Lingjun's arm: "Mom, we're about to see Zhan Xiao, with us in the future, Zhan Xiao will be able to live a good life." ”
Shen Lingjun nodded, and then said to Accountant Zhang: "Then we have to trouble Accountant Zhang to show us the way." ”
Accountant Zhang happily agreed: "I'll take you there." So saying, he led them out of the door.
Lin Xiaowan has been worried about one thing in her heart, and asked Accountant Zhang while walking: "Accountant Zhang, that Zhan Xiao is my brother, and he didn't marry a daughter-in-law, right?"
