My mother-in-law grabbed my hands tightly and quickly walked down the mountain.

The mother-in-law walked very fast, without any stops along the way, and she kept trotting, looking very anxious. To be honest, it is not easy for a seventy-year-old lady like Granny Qin to be able to walk so fast, and I have never seen her rush so desperately in more than 20 years of being with her. I know, obviously, in her heart, Uncle Zhong has now become the only relative in her old family. She was very eager to see Uncle Zhong again.

The mountain road was bumpy and rugged, and in the process of hurrying, Granny Qin tripped over the hard mud several times, but her old man did not have any discouragement, she quickly got up, immediately patted the dust on her body, and then continued to run forward.

Looking at her old man's strong and unyielding spirit, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. At the moment, he also quickened his pace and followed closely behind her.

It was a little over an hour's drive down the mountain. After trotting all the way, Granny Qin and I finally came to the market town.

Looking up, it was not a very bustling market town, with very little traffic, and I felt sad that the town's infrastructure was quite backward, and the town's roads were still mud roads. If my mother-in-law hadn't told me beforehand that this was a market town, I wouldn't have believed it. Along the way, I found that there were not many people selling goods in the market town, and I counted them with my hands, and there were only ten of them in total.

I frowned and looked at Granny Qin beside me. I hope she can find Uncle Zhong as soon as possible.

Granny Qin's eyes scanned around, and there was a trace of anxiety in her eyes, I knew that she must not have found Uncle Zhong among these people.

Granny Qin rubbed her eyes vigorously and ran straight towards the edge of the road.

I followed closely behind my mother-in-law.

When I reached the edge of the road, I settled down and looked up. At the edge of the road, there were two vendors about 40 years old, and there was a white banner in front of their shop, although the handwriting on the banner had begun to fall off, but after some thought, I still guessed the content of the banner, which read six big words: The world's first fast knife. I looked curiously at the two vendors, and was surprised to find that the two of them were actually butchers selling pork, and there were more than a dozen large and fat strings of pork hanging from their stalls with iron hooks, and there were five or six sharp knives used to kill pigs next to the stalls. At this moment, the two butchers were sitting on a wooden stool chatting, smoking an old cigarette in their mouths, sighing from time to time.

Looking at them like that, I know that their business is not very good. Granny Qin walked up to the two of them and carefully identified them for a long time, but she always frowned, I thought she knew these two young people, so she walked up to her and asked, "Mother-in-law, do you know these two people?" ”

Granny Qin shook her head, sighed and said, "Alas, I haven't come back for too long, and I don't know if the two of them are the sons of Lao Xing." If it is the son of Lao Xing, maybe I can find out the whereabouts of Senior Brother Zhong from their mouths. ”

I listened carefully to what she said, not to disturb her, and let her identify her, and I believe that she would take the initiative to ask.

Sure enough, Granny Qin really walked up to these two pork sellers. She cleared her throat and asked, "Excuse me, are you two incompetent sons?" ”

When the two vendors heard Granny Qin say this, they immediately stood up, frowned, and looked Granny Qin up and down. Then after more than half a minute, he smiled and said, "Yes...... Both of us are the sons of his old man, may I ask who you are? ”

Granny Qin was overjoyed and said with a smile: "You two must be Yongcai and Yongfu, right?" I'm Mother Qin, did I play with you when you were young? ”

The two vendors stared at Granny Qin with their eyes wide open, and their voices trembled at the same time, and they spoke, "You...... Are you really Mother Qin? ”

Granny Qin patted the two of them on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hehe, isn't it my old man?" I think you were only twenty years old when I left, you were still young guys, and I didn't think that you were old now, I almost didn't dare to recognize you, hahaha......"

One of them, Yongcai, grabbed his hair and laughed embarrassedly. The other person named Yongfu standing next to him seemed to be much more generous, and he smiled at Granny Qin, "Mother Qin, are you here to find my father?" His old man is killing pigs at home at the moment, let's go, Yongcai and I will take you to my house for dinner. ”

Granny Qin paused, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Child, don't bother you, I'm not here to find your father, I came this time to ask the two of you about the whereabouts of my senior brother, did you two children see him come here to sell fruit wine today?" ”

When the two middle-aged men heard their mother-in-law ask, their legs shook involuntarily, and they suddenly turned their backs to Granny Qin, and then glanced at each other and blinked desperately. The two of them thought that no one had seen the look they were trying to hide just now, but they didn't know that I was facing them at this time.

They turned around, faced Granny Qin, and said in unison, "No! Today, the two of us didn't see Uncle Zhong come to the town to set up a stall! ”

Of course, Granny Qin didn't see their eyes, thinking that they really didn't see Uncle Zhong. She was anxious, rubbing her hands together and muttering to herself.

I was very strange in my heart at the time, looking at their expressions, I obviously knew Uncle Zhong's whereabouts, but why did these two people deliberately hide the traces of Mrs. Zhong? Is there anything they have to say?

If Uncle Zhong's traces are not related to the safety of our humans, I will definitely not force them. But now, Uncle Zhong is the only one who can destroy the terrible ghost on the tomb mountain, and I must find him as soon as possible no matter what.

I didn't care much, in order to be able to find out the whereabouts of Uncle Zhong, I had to offend the two strangers in front of me.

While they weren't paying attention, I slowly touched a pig-killing knife on their table with my right hand, I pressed the pig-killing knife tightly under my pants, covered it with my right hand, and then I walked awkwardly towards the weak-looking Yongfu. I was about to pull out a sharp knife and threaten Yongfu to tell me the whereabouts of Uncle Zhong, when suddenly a coughing sound of acute gasping sounded from another side room.

I immediately looked back, and I saw a gray-haired old woman, her pace was slower than that of a snail, she was panting violently as she walked, I frowned, and looked her up and down curiously, and I found that the skin on her face and hands was all uneven and wrinkled, her eye sockets were deep, her skin was sallow, and she looked sickly, she looked very old, and I estimated that she was at least a hundred years old.

As soon as Granny Qin saw this old woman, her face suddenly turned happy, and she immediately stepped forward respectfully, held her hands like dead trees, and whispered in her ear: "Aunt Xing, do you still know me?" I'm a root incense! Take a good look at me. ”

The old grandmother's behavior was very strange, she muttered a sentence in her mouth, but I couldn't hear what she was saying, I saw her shake off Granny Qin's hand again and again, and muttered to herself: "Incompetent, my son, where are you!" Where are you? I'm dying, I'm going to see your merry dad soon, you can arrange the funeral for me quickly! ”

I frowned, guessing that the old lady must have been mentally disturbed by her age.

At this moment, Xing Yongfu suddenly walked up to the old grandmother and comforted: "Grandma, Dad is killing pigs at home, and my brother and I will send you back to your hometown tomorrow." You go in first and get some rest. ”

The old grandmother glanced at Xing Yongfu and smiled from ear to ear: "Good son, you are my good son." Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll go back to the house and rest now. ”

Yongfu walked up to Granny Qin, wiped her tears and said, "My grandmother is old, and I heard from the doctors in the hospital that she has madness. Now she doesn't recognize anyone at all, only her son's name. ”

When Granny Qin heard such news, her eyes also moistened.

Faced with such a poor grandmother, I immediately dismissed the idea of threatening her grandson with a sharp knife. I don't know if she will get worse when she sees my rudeness, but if she is frightened and becomes ill for a moment, then I will be a sinner for the ages.

I immediately put the knife away and put it back in the stall as it was.
