"In just one day, you're- found out the results?" The village chief, who had already bowed his head and was dressed no different from the villagers, squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes pierced through the smoke he spit out, and looked at the sky outside the window - Wow, who am I?

I am praised by everyone, and I am ashamed of flowers, even if I am smart, I will never be confused for a while, and I have a poetic and bookish Zhen - a heroine!

Of course, after the age of twenty, this confident sentence has never been on his lips.

At this moment, Zhen Di was only smug on her face, silently reading it quickly in her heart, when she raised her head, she touched the village chief's side of his head, and two fine lights shot out of his eyes, "cough, cough, cough-"

Zhen Di coughed dryly a few times, and bowed his head slightly-"Luck, luckily I know the result, and some things have not to be explained by Mao Mao's father--it is clear." ”

Wow, this came out of my Zhen Di's mouth, don't be stunned, from now on, I Zhen Di maybe-maybe--change my mind, and carry out the modesty to the end-"Then you just - tell me when you started to suspect Mao Mao's father." ”

The village chief seemed to be smiling, bowed his head slightly, threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, raised his foot and stepped on it lightly-"Well, in fact, from the beginning, I suspected that it was Maomao's father." ”

In front of the old village chief, Zhen Di kept a straight face, bent on showing his mature side - "Why? ”

"Well, I asked Mao Mao and some other villagers, and said that there were more than 100 families in your whole village, but later, some families moved out, and almost most of the young and middle-aged people went out to work, so the population is getting smaller and smaller. After the introduction of the new policy, there is no distance between the countryside and the city, and those who have money will go to the big cities, and the population of the big cities will increase, and the people in the mountain villages will become fewer and fewer."

"Yes, now there are basically only us old and weak soldiers left in the village, and a lot of land is barren, I sometimes think like this, the people live on food, will there be a day when our children and grandchildren - because of the lack of food, and-"

The old village chief sighed, deeply touched—"No—village chief, our topic is a bit far away." ”

Zhen Di looked at the village chief with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, little girl, where did you just go?"

"Well, that's right, I did some research, and the dozens of remaining families in the village are basically women, children, and old people, or children - some of them are ** ten years old, and some are taken care of by their wives - they can't and can't remove a bull weighing hundreds of pounds in a short period of time, and without others knowing. So I began to look for the middle-aged men in the village, and it turned out that there were only six middle-aged men left in the village, and two of them were butchers, one was a pig killer, and I heard that he had not come back at all because of the death of his father-in-law in the past few days, and the other three, working in the same sofa factory, did not return home at all on the day of the accident. ”

"So that's all that remains Jianjun and another cattle butcher who often slaughters cattle in the surrounding villages or towns."

"Yes, I asked Mao Mao, and he said that day, it was his father who asked their mother and son to go to his aunt's house and send something to his aunt, and I was at the scene, and found Mao Mao's wooden knife, which was actually left there, it was probably in a hurry, Mao Mao's father helped the cow butcher, and the tools used to dismember the cow - there were two clear footprints on the mud floor, one of which was the same size as Mao Mao's father's shoes・・・・・・ all of which made me draw a bold conclusion, Could it be that Maomao's father is guarding and stealing? ”

"So you're here to knock the mountain and shock the tiger."

"It's not all like that, in fact, during lunch, Maomao's father rarely bought back the roast duck, and gave Maomao some things, Maomao's mother asked him where he got the money, Maomao's father was hesitant, and when I showed that I was here to find the missing cow, Maomao's father was shocked, and a chopstick fell to the ground・・・・・・"

"How old are you, doll?"

The old village chief's body leaned against the table in the village committee office, his left palm supported his right elbow, while the thumb and index finger of his right hand held his chin, and his eyes were still shining, looking directly at Zhen Di's beautiful big eyes - "I-I'm twenty-four this year." ”

Summoning up the courage to say this, Zhen Di soon saw a trace of abnormality in the eyes of the old village chief, yes, it was an abnormality, not the kind of consternation and sympathy in the eyes of ordinary people・・・・・・ "No wonder, no wonder, I said how can there be such a dusty little girl in this world-"

The village chief's eyes shone brightly・・・・・・ "No, village chief, you—you say I—are out of the ordinary?" ”

This village chief seems to be a little different from others-"

Whew-"

"Poof-knock-"

At some point, the sky darkened, and the wind came suddenly, like an angry lion, and began to attack the doors and windows of the room frantically--a large dark cloud pressed down from the sky--outside the window of the village committee's office, the branches of the trees danced wildly, and the birds and finches had already muttered--"This day--I'm afraid it's about to rain."

”

Zhen Di frowned・・・・・・
