Chapter 45: The Lost Child

In the crowd, by the flowing river, a girl with two pigtails lay on the ground wet. The unwashed clothes were soaked in water, and the bamboo baskets containing the clothes were poured diagonally next to the washboard.

She had stopped breathing for two hours. It was Aunt Wang, who was passing by, who saw it and called the villagers to go down to the river to salvage it.

The villagers in Ahua Village, who were at a loss, showed a pity on their faces, and everyone was talking and blaming.

"She came to wash the clothes at noon, hey, now Erli and Sanmei are going to cry to death. What a fair girl, very sensible, always helping grandparents work. ”

"Hey, she's only eight years old, it's a pity, she hasn't enjoyed anything, she has suffered with her grandparents."

"yes, how did this happen? It's really unlucky today, but when she came, no one else was doing the laundry. If only one of them were there, it would be fine, and the child's life would have been saved. ”

"Her grandmother happened to have an upset stomach this morning, and she lay in bed all morning, and she made breakfast and lunch."

"Erli and Sanmei are really, it doesn't matter if you throw the child to the elderly, but there is no way, isn't it like this in our village, young people go out to work, and the old people and children stay in the village."

"Yes, some time ago, I just watched a program on TV about the dangers of left-behind children. Unexpectedly, I was met by our village. ”

"Hey, you know how to make money all year round, why do you earn so much money now, the child is gone, and you can't buy it with any amount of money."

"My son and daughter-in-law are not like this, they just meet on the New Year's Day all year round and buy some new clothes for everyone in the family, but what's the point of that? The children can't see their parents all year round, so they pity the children. ”

"At a young age, she does the work of adults, you see how thin she is, hey, I can't say it, it's all fate."

"If any of you have Erli and Sanmei's phone number, let them know quickly. The child is useless. ”

"Let's take the hand and carry the child back."

"Child, Auntie took you home, remember to follow Auntie, poor treasure. Look at these little hands are cold. ”

The crows have been flying in the air, and the cry of the babbling is sad and old, and the villagers shed sad tears one by one, and the more they think about it, the more sad they feel.

People hid the children's grandparents, afraid that the old people would not be able to bear the blow.

was discussing whether to bring the child back to Erli's brother's house first, but some people were afraid that Erli's brother would feel bad luck and didn't know what to do for a while.

No one wants to share this bad thing, for fear of bringing disadvantage to their family.

The grieving people slowly became selfish, some began to leave the scene, and some ran from a distance to see the excitement.

The child still lay quietly in place, and finally a seventy-year-old man stood up, his hands trembling, and his voice hoarse, "Carry the child to my house, I am a lonely old man, I am not afraid, just let the child be my companion." ”

This is Uncle Wang, an old man who lives alone in Ahua Village, an old bachelor, who has never married a daughter-in-law in his life, and is lonely all his life. He was very weak, and he felt like he didn't have many days left. He was on crutches and kept banging on the ground to make people hurry up.

Everyone saw that someone came out to take care of things, and the two middle-aged men immediately lifted the child up and walked towards Uncle Wang's house.

Wang Erli and He Sanmei are worried about Wu Taili's murder and imprisonment, for fear that the police will come to the door. Every day, they nested in the house that Alain sent them and did not dare to go out. When I had to go shopping, I also dressed up in disguise and chose to go out of the cave at night.

The two of them were lying on the bed bored, and suddenly the mobile phone rang, which frightened them, and when they looked at the mobile phone, it was the number of the second uncle in the village, so they were relieved and relieved.

Wang Erli whispered, "Second uncle, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

The second uncle in the village listened to this too small voice and became angry, "Erli, what's the matter with you?" So what's the whisper for? Something happened to your family, you and Sanmei hurried back. Immediately, immediately. ”

The second uncle was afraid that Wang Erli and Sanmei would be too shocked when they heard the news of the child's death, and an accident happened on the road, so he decided to hide it from them. When I got back to the village, everything was clear.

Wang Erli still asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what's the matter?" What's going on in my house? ”

Sanmei also leaned her ears to listen, but was pushed over by Wang Erli.

"It's a big deal, don't ask what's wrong, just come back. You have to come back, that's all I've said, you hurry up and buy tickets. ”

Wang Erli took the phone aside and told Sanmei, "Uncle said that something happened to our family, let's go buy tickets now." You tell me? ”

Sanmei's eyes widened when she heard this, "Then why are you still stunned?" Hurry up and buy it. Something must have happened, otherwise Uncle would have let us go home. ”

When Wang Erli heard Sanmei say this, he felt that something really big had happened. Thinking that I have been hiding here all day and living a life of worrying and fearing, it is also a good choice to go back to my hometown. Why hadn't he thought of it before? Wang Erli shouted, "Okay, let's go home." ”

Seeing Wang Erli's smug appearance, Sanmei couldn't help but remind him, "Why are you so loud?" You've forgotten about the Wu Tai calendar. ”

"Well, I almost forgot, thanks to my wife's reminder, we must also keep a low profile after returning to our hometown, Wu Taili killed someone, I am really an accomplice, I hinted to the factory director, if the police catch the factory director and confess me, Wu Taili's sister knows, you have to kill me."

Wang Erli and Sanmei constantly analyzed his speculation. I'm really afraid that after leaving Jinling this time, it will be difficult to come back in the future. But what about this house?

Sanmei guessed Wang Erli's thoughts, "Husband, you said that we should sell the house." Take the cash and go back to your hometown to do some business. Now there are many people who go home to start their own businesses. I think maybe we'll be able to make a fortune soon. ”

"Sold the house? Think about it. Wang Erli was still thinking about the house, only to hear the phone ring again.

Wang Erli's second uncle was afraid that the two of them would not come back, so he called again.

"I said, did you two buy tickets, where are you now?"

Wang Erli became irritable, "Uncle, why are you urging so hard, what a big deal can happen to my family, let's go buy a train ticket." ”

He Sanmei still thought about it, I don't know where she heard the words about the house being a fixed asset. It's nice that she can write it down and understand it.

She said proudly to Wang Erli, "A house is a fixed asset, and having a house is equivalent to having a deposit." The house in Jinling is selling so hot, it can be sold for cash at any time, why are we in a hurry. Forget it, let's go home first, and keep the house first. I can leave it to the children in the future. Besides, we're going to come back anyway. ”

Wang Erli nodded, feeling that He Sanmei's analysis was really right, and his wife has been speaking more and more level recently.

He felt that the city was a good place, not only to bring in material things, but also to sublimate the spirit. He seemed to have completely forgotten what the second uncle said. I just remember to buy a ticket home now.

They slowly packed their luggage, and Sanmei folded the quilt on the bed and covered it with a sheet, afraid that it would be dusty for a long time.

An hour later, the two reluctantly left the first loot they had traded with Alain.

Wang Erli has been waiting, hoping that Alan can give him a new task, and he will definitely complete it even better.

When exactly will the next mission come back? What's next?

Wang Erli kept guessing
