Volume 1 Chapter 5 The Road to Finding Relatives
Two months later, Wu Deshi, who had come to the end of his life, left the world at the age of sixty, this ill-fated man, who had been depressed and decadent for a time after experiencing major changes, and his life path that should have been muddy to death changed the moment he met Wu Ill. The arrival of Wu Illness made him relive nine years of family affection and happiness, and Wu Illness, as a party, was also blessed by misfortune, and met a mentor and adoptive father who changed his life on the road of life.
The funeral was held in accordance with the village customs, all things were personally handled by Wu Ill's nominal godfather, Hu Zhuang wore linen and filial piety in the name of his brothers of the opposite sex, and then Wu Ill has been living in the hunter's house, because the elder Hu Zhuang is one year old, Wu Ill is the elder brother, Hu Zhuang changed his name to brother, and the two brothers follow the hunter every day to hunt in the mountains and forests, and the life is also fulfilling.
On the existence of modern society, when did the "cottage wind" arise, some people have sorted out the clues of modern history, and the more well-founded statement is: at the beginning of the founding of New China, the country lacked the same level of science and technology and industry as the world, in order to shorten the distance between New China and developed countries as soon as possible, at that time, there was a government-led imitation, cottage movement began, the military aspect is reflected in tanks, aircraft and other military equipment, industrial automobiles, Trains, and then to private electric fans and sewing machines, under the international situation at that time, this kind of movement can undoubtedly help the country to embark on the road of rapid development and self-improvement faster, and at the same time cultivate a large number of technical talents. When the 80 years of reform and opening up arrived, a large number of new technologies and new products poured in from abroad, and China's technical personnel found that these technologies and products can also be learned, and even imitated at lower prices. Subsequently, in this context, there was a lot of counterfeiting, almost zero cost of counterfeit products, in exchange for more explosive profits, and then China's market economy system gradually embarked on the road of maturity and perfection.
In the past two years, the number of migrant workers inside and outside the village has gradually increased, and every New Year's holiday, these migrant workers will always bring some fresh objects and tell some interesting things that happened outside. I don't know when it started, I don't know who took the lead, the farmers in the village are no longer farming, the crops in the fields are also deserted, almost all the villagers are organized, with families as small workshops, and begin to work day and night to produce, every day there are a large number of truckloads of goods are pulled to the field for sale, these packaged exquisite goods have a wide variety of brands, tobacco, alcohol, medicine, health care products and so on. In this way, the life of the villagers began to improve, and many families began to build new houses.
The hunter still takes his two children in and out of the mountains and forests every day, exchanging hares and other things for living needs, which has become a clear stream in the village's 'new life'. So in the context of the whole village living a 'good life', only the hunter and his two children lived a barely subsistence life as always.
At the end of the second year after Wu Deshi's death, Wu was already eleven years old at this time, his body had grown a lot taller, and his figure was much stronger than before. In the two years of living with the hunter, he and Hu Zhuang would practice boxing with the hunter every morning, and then go out into the mountains and forests to learn hunting, and in the evening, Wu Yi would sit in the bedroom used by Wu Deshi to practice calligraphy or read books, as if Wu Deshi had been living by his side to teach him, and only at this time would his heart get a moment of peace. As for the former school in the village, it has long been requisitioned by the villagers and turned into a warehouse for storing the goods that have made a fortune, but now there is no longer the sound of reading books, all that remains is the roar of trucks entering and leaving.
"Brother, dad shouted to you to hurry up and go home, something big happened in the village" Hu Zhuang's shout came from outside the house, and then panted and ran to Wu Yi's side and grabbed his arm, and he couldn't help but say that he was about to leave. Two years of living together have made Hu Zhuang and Wu Yi feel like brothers and sisters, as if the three of them were originally a family, and there is no estrangement between them.
"Brother, what's the matter, you have to make it clear" Wu Yi hurriedly grabbed the book and stuffed it into his arms, and followed Hu Zhuang to run home.
"I don't know, our father seems to be in a hurry, let you go home quickly! Let's go, brother" Hu Zhuang said roughly.
In a moment the two boys galloped back home, and when the hunter saw that the two sons had returned, he immediately closed the door and turned around and entered the house with the two sons. Wu Yi saw a seriousness and panic on the hunter's face that he had never seen before, even in the face of the most ferocious beast in the mountains and forests, Wu Yi had never seen the hunter be as nervous and gaffe as this time.
"Dad, what's going on?" asked Wu Yi, who had already adapted to being the eldest son, and he and Hu Zhuang looked up at the strong and tall hunter, their hearts full of uneasiness.
"I don't know exactly what's going on, but something big is going to happen tonight, I just went to the mountains to check the traps, and when I came back, I found that there were a lot of strangers around the village, all of them were mysterious, and that posture should be directed at the village, neither of you is allowed to go out tonight, let alone make trouble!
"I heard Dad," Wu Yi and Hu Zhuang replied at the same time, they didn't dare to confront the hunter at this time.
"I'll go out and have a look, wait for me at home" After the hunter spoke, he turned around and left, leaving only two children about ten years old at home, Wu Yi was very worried in his heart, he was very afraid that something would happen to the hunter, although he had only lived together for two years, but he was still very affectionate for this cheap father. After thinking about it, Wu Yi locked the bedroom door from the inside, and then beckoned Hu Zhuang uncomfortably to lift the only table in the room to the back of the door, and then lay on the bed with Hu Zhuang and resigned himself to fate.
About half an hour later, there was a sound in the hospital, and Wu Yi nervously leaned on the crack of the window and looked out, but it was already dark, and he couldn't see what was going on at all. Suddenly, the door was gently pushed, but it was locked behind it, and there was a table behind it, so it was impossible to push it open. Wu Yi and Hu Zhuang looked nervously at the door with wooden sticks in their hands, and then the hunter's deep voice came from outside the door: "It's Lao Tzu, open the door, quickly!"
Hearing that it was the hunter's father who came back, Wu Yi and Hu Zhuang's hurried table was opened, and when they opened the door and saw the embarrassed hunter, the hunter flashed into the room and closed the door again. The frightened hunter picked up the kettle next to the bed and poured it violently, and after calming down, the hunter said to Wu Yi and Hu Zhuang: "This time I can see clearly, there are all police outside our village, there are thousands of people, our village has been surrounded by water, this time our village is over, it's really over, I have long said don't go to get those fake things to deceive people, no matter how fast the money comes, it's not the right way, it's over."
As soon as the hunter's words fell, he heard the roaring of cars outside, followed by the shrill sirens, and then heard a loud noise, and countless policemen swarmed to him. All the villagers were taken to the designated area, all the workshop equipment was seized and confiscated, and all counterfeit cigarettes, alcohol, medicines, health products and other goods were seized......
In the early morning of the second day, the hunter took Wu Yi and Hu Zhuang back to their home, and after a night of screening and registration, it was determined that the hunter's family of three was not suspected of committing a crime, and then let the three go home. But there is everything in the village
Those who had committed fraud or profit-making were all taken away by the police this time, and these people were basically village laborers.
The hunter who returned home was exhausted and wanted to go out to make some food for his two sons, but was stopped by Wu Ai. "Dad, you've been tired for a day and a night, just rest for a while, and today our brothers will cook to honor you!" Wu Yi looked like an eldest son, patted his chest and said.
"My good son, Dad will go out for a trip, and when he comes back, he will taste the craftsmanship of your brothers!" The frightened hunter was very relieved to see that Wu Yi was very sensible and well-behaved, and after the hunter finished speaking, he went out from the courtyard wall.
Wu Yi dragged Hu Zhuang, who was constantly complaining, and the two brothers picked up buckets to fetch water and cook in the courtyard. After a while, the hunter climbed over the wall again and returned home, but there was an extra bulging package on his back, which was wrapped very tightly with steps, and he couldn't see what was in it at all.
After about five minutes, there was the sound of footsteps kicking outside the door, and Wu Yi heard the sound and saw that two policemen in military uniforms had come over.
"Uncle, who are you looking for?" Wu Yi said in a loud and deliberate voice, just to let the hunters in the room hear.
"Little friend, it's not very old, and there are a lot of ghost ideas," one of the older policemen saw through the intention of Wu Ai's loud speech, and said with a smile.
At this time, the hunter came out of the room, and said with a calm smile: "Is there anything wrong with the two policemen? Our family of three is all hunters, don't do those deceitful things, you have checked this morning"
"You don't have to worry about this, we know that we came this time because when we verified the population of your villagers, we found that there was a boy named Wu who was not born in your village. After we learned that this boy may have been abducted and trafficked here, and then bought and adopted by Wu Deshi from your village, Wu Deshi died of illness two years ago, this child is now in your house, right? Where is the child, we need to see it," the older policeman asked in a calm tone.
When they discovered a child suspected of being trafficked in the village, the elderly police officers and their colleagues rushed to find the child, and in the increasingly perfect legal system, the crime of child trafficking has received great attention from the government and the whole society. The two policemen took photos of Wu's body, appearance and other characteristics, collected blood samples and hair, and then learned from the hunter in detail about the specific situation when Wu's illness was bought, and finally the police told Wu's patients to wait patiently for a while, and they would actively look for Wu's parents.
When all the policemen had left, the village was calm again, and there were police seals everywhere in the village, and the sound of every workshop could no longer be heard. Many people in the village were taken away by the police, and although the village was very depressed without popularity, it had a little more simplicity and vitality than before.
Wu Yi sat alone on the top of the hill and looked into the distance, thinking about what the elderly policeman said: "Child, do you want to go home? Do you want to find your biological parents?"
"I ...... I do not know...... I don't know."
"Kid, I don't know how you're doing here, and if you're happy. But I know that your biological parents are living in pain from the moment you lost them until now. Son, do you want to go home?"
"I ......" Wu Yi lowered his head and stopped making a sound, just when the older policeman wanted to ask again, Wu Yi suddenly raised his head, his little face full of tears, a pair of eyes full of expectation looked at the police tightly, and then a trembling voice sounded: "Will they welcome me back?"
"Yes, they'll welcome you home, I promise!" the older policeman said in a kind tone.
