When they came to that village, they saw that the whole village was in a depression, because it was an old village and it was relatively remote, so the young people basically went to live in the city, and the rest of the old people did not go out because they were too old, only a few old people sat on the base of the wall, basking in the sun, and it was still the same as before.

The two of them stopped at the entrance of the village, then got out of the car and walked in. The mayor took Jiang Wenzheng's statement and walked towards the east with the old ghost, saying that it was a relatively remote place, and then there was an old house.

Finally, after about ten minutes, the two of them saw that there was an old house that had been largely abandoned at the outermost edge of the easternmost village.

The house was not big, only three or four rooms, but when they saw the house, the mayor and the old ghost instantly became very excited, got up, and walked quickly towards the house.

"Do you think there will still be people in this place? There are no other residents around the house, only this one house, do you say you will know anyone else?" asked the old ghost worriedly.

Although it is said that Gillian did not communicate with others when she was pregnant and took her child here in the army, Gillian has lived here since she was a child, so some old people in the village should know Gillian.

Because Gillian told me back then that he was the only one in the village who shook out of this dilapidated village.

At that time, he was still very famous in the village, and every time everyone mentioned their family, they would say that there was a female soldier in this family, and she was very imposing. ”

"You said that Ejiao lived in such a place, and he lived with her grandmother since he was a child, how did he get admitted to the military academy? But how did he have that skill?" the old ghost asked with some doubts.

"Ejiao told me about this back then, and he said that when he was ten years old, he met a Taoist priest who came to the village to make a fortune. At that time, she was very thirsty and Ejiao handed her a bowl of water, and then the Taoist priest looked at her very aura, so he told him that I want to teach you martial arts, are you willing to learn?

Gillian agreed without thinking about it at the time, because at that time there were only two people in this village, he and his grandmother depended on each other, so some people would bully the two of them. So when Ejiao heard this, he was able to tell himself kung fu and agreed without thinking about it, because he wanted to learn kung fu to protect his grandmother and give her the best life. ”

"It's not easy to think about Gillian in the past few years, she lost her parents and her grandmother since she was a child, but she had to be bullied again, and she had to protect her grandmother who died at a young age, which makes people feel distressed when they think about it. ”

"So the most sorry person in my life is Gillian, she gave birth to me, I didn't know anything, I couldn't protect him, so I let him die so painfully, I really regret it, I regret it too much. The mayor said sadly.

"Well, don't think about these things yet, let's go to the house first," said the old ghost.

When the two of them walked into the house, the whole front of them was sealed by weeds, and the two of them could only push away the weeds and walk towards that side with difficulty, the house seemed to be a long time old, and it looked like it was about to crumble.

"I wonder if there's anything else you can see about Gillian in there?"

"Let's go in and have a look, be careful, I think this house is about to collapse. ”

"Okay, let's go!" the old ghost and the mayor pushed open the door of the house.

The wooden door creaked open, and there was a rotten smell inside, and the two of them waited for a while without seeing the house, or any movement, so they walked in, and the house was damp and dark without any sound.

The old ghost turned on the mobile phone in his hand and illuminated the flashlight to take everything in the house, the furnishings in the house were very simple, there was only one wardrobe, and a bed, and then there was a table, and the outside should be the stove room, there were traces of oil smoke.

The two of them couldn't see anything outside, so they walked into the bedroom inside, which should have been where Gillian lived with her children back then!

When they walked in, they saw that there were still some quilts neatly stacked on the bed, but they all seemed to be moldy, and there was nothing next to them, just some wardrobes and a few tables.

The mayor came to the closet and opened the door of the closet, there were several women's clothes inside, and he recognized at a glance that they were the clothes that Ejiao had worn back then, and his eyes instantly became hazy with tears.

"This is Gillian's clothes, I recognize it!" he said to the old ghost.

When the old ghost heard the sound and came over, he immediately became nervous as soon as it was something related to Ejiao today.

"You see there's a child's clothes in there," said the old ghost, pointing suddenly to a corner of the cupboard.

Sure enough, after the mayor looked down, he saw several children's clothes, which should be bright red, and it seemed that she was really a daughter.

"Old ghost, look at these things, this is really where Gillian lives with her children. The mayor said excitedly.

"Yes, this is indeed Gillian's clothes, and those things, you see, these are all things that Ejiao used when he was an instructor for us," the old ghost said as he came to a place that resembled a dresser, looking at the things on it.

"This is really where Ejiao lives, old ghost, who else do you think Gillian will know here? There is no one around this house, what friends do you think he will have, and then send the child out?"

"I can't say for sure, don't you know Gillian more than me? Otherwise, let's go out and ask, didn't you say that the old people in this village all know Gillian? Then I see that there are basically only old people left in this village. ”

"Old ghost, are you stupid, have you forgotten? ”

"Well, I forgot that we are no longer the young men we used to be, and Ejiao has been lost for more than 20 years, these old people should have been about the same age as us back then!" said the old ghost, a little bitter.

"It's okay, let's go out and have a look first, ask first, maybe someone knows Gillian." ”

So the two of them walked to the house, and for a moment they felt the warm and sunny air outside the house, which was much better than the inside of the house, and they took a deep breath and walked towards the interior of the village.

There are a few old people in the village playing chess, or drinking tea, and some squatting on the root of the wall, carving melon seeds, chatting, basically all of them are old people who have nothing to do.

Suddenly, I saw that such two people dressed in serious clothes saw the village, and they were all curious, looking at the mayor and the old ghost.

The two of them came to the old couple who were crouching at the base of the wall, and then crouched down to watch them and ask them as softly as possible.

"Do you know that there was a girl named Gillian in this village more than 20 years ago?"

The two old men shook their heads, then grinned and looked at the headmaster.

"Hey, you're from the city, aren't you? Have you been from the city? What are you doing here, who is that Gillian?"

"Gillian, it's my wife, he spent it here when he was a kid, and he came back to live there for a while after he got married, and I just wanted to ask about some of the things he lived in this village, and he's now deceased. ”

The mayor directly explained Ejiao's relationship with himself that he didn't want these people to suspect him of something and hide something, so he had to tell his identity clearly.

"Oh, it turns out that there was a little girl in our village who married someone from the city, and it should have been almost impossible at that time, but seeing that you are about the same age as us, why haven't I heard of your daughter-in-law?" the old men asked suspiciously.

"I won't be able to tell you about this for a while, because my wife was born in this village, and then lived here with her grandmother, in the thatched house in the far east of the village, which was basically deserted. That's their home, do any of you know about that family?" said the mayor.

"I don't know very well about that family, and they didn't socialize with the people in the village back then, and we didn't go there to play when we were young, so I don't know, but I just know that there was only one old lady and a girl about the same age as me, and that was the Gillian you said? I don't know what her name is in our village! But I met her a few times when I was a child, and I didn't know her!"

"If you're about the same age, haven't you ever gone to school with her, why don't you know her?" asked the old ghost, puzzled.

"How could it be that if I had gone to school, maybe I would have dressed up like you today!" said the old man with a smile.

"Well, thank you then!" the mayor could only stand up in solitude.

"And who of you have gone to school here?" asked the old ghost.

Gillian went to school, and he knew that her grandmother wanted her to go to school no matter what, so she would have the day to enter the army.

"Hey, who is going to school to stay in this place?

"Alright!" the old ghost had no choice.

"But you can go over there and ask, that old fellow, the one who smoked and drank tea and shouted loudly, he was a little ruffian among us children back then, he always liked to tease people, always liked to do bad things, I remember that he seemed to like to like to play with that little girl outside the village, because the parents are so good-looking, hehe!"

The mayor followed his eyes and looked over there, and then saw an old man over there talking to the people on the side, talking loudly, making people think that he was like a mountain carving!
