Chapter 5 The Cellar
When I was in a daze, Ye Anxu had already asked Kong Xiaomei, it was the girl just now, she was the eldest daughter in the family, she was thirteen years old, and there was a younger brother and younger brother who were taken away by her parents who were working. According to Kong Xiaomei's statement, it is said that many of the girls in the nearby villages have received financial support from Shi Bao, and the objects of the funding are all very special and extremely difficult family situations, such as children whose parents have died, who only live with their grandfather or grandmother, and who are difficult to have enough food and clothing.
There is a girl named Zhu Xiaoqian, who is about the same age as Kong Xiaomei, it is said that she went to the county two days ago, and when she came back, she carried a schoolbag, a book, a book, and some old clothes and pants or something.
I asked him if he wanted to wait for her to get out of class. Ye Anxu rolled her eyes at me and said that it was useless to wait, she didn't come to school today. I was taken aback, shouldn't this be? How much do the children in the mountains cherish the opportunity to go to school, how can they suddenly not come? Ye Anxu said that she heard Kong Xiaomei say that she seemed to be sick or something, anyway, her grandfather climbed a few miles of mountain roads two days ago to ask for leave.
Anyway, the teacher's path doesn't seem to work, so it's better to go to Zhu Xiaoqian's house to have a look, I said yes, but do you know where her home is? He said you're stupid, so many people won't ask? I sneered, you were going to ask?? Ye Anxu ran to the humble office with his eyes open, Teacher Lu went to class and was not here, and Principal Yang didn't know where he went, there was only one teacher of more than 40 years, who was grading his homework there, and when he saw Ye Anxu coming in, he asked him what was the matter? Ye Anxu said that he came to ask Zhu Xiaoqian's home.
Then the teacher's expression changed greatly, and then he drove him out like a chicken, and then slammed the door shut, watching Ye Anxu eat a closed door, I was a little gloating, Ye Anxu was annoyed and angry: "What are you laughing at?" Do you have the ability to come? Don't forget that this isn't my business alone! ”
I'll come, I'll come, huh! I went around the outside of the school twice. Surrounded by mountains, green crops, blown by the wind and waving waves, there are people working inside. So I went over and grabbed someone and asked if I knew where Kong Xiaomei's house was? The man wiped his sweat and said, Kong Daniu's house? Then you have walked the aisle, this is Xiaping Village, and her home is in Shangping!
The characteristics of rural people are enthusiastic when they sound good, and nosy when they are bad. The uncle was trampling on the clods of soil with his feet, wiping his sweat with a yellowed towel, and asked curiously what we were doing at Kong Xiaomei's house? I said that we were here to investigate the situation here, and we might be able to allocate some money to the company when we reported it to the company.
The uncle was excited all of a sudden, and said that the dare is good, there are really many good people, two days ago there was a Mr. Shi sent a batch of supplies over, recently we are going to have great luck here, he was so excited that he was incoherent, so he stretched out his hand to shake hands with me. Then he retracted very embarrassedly, his hands were full of mud and dust, all on his waist, and he rubbed his buttocks.
I asked him who would receive the supplies he sent. The uncle said Mr. Lu, he is also a talker, when he saw me listening to him with great interest, he didn't wait for me to ask, everything leaked out, from the chickens in Shangping Village, to the dogs in Xiaping Village, the widow of the east family to the bachelor of the west family. He made him go over and over again, but I think most of it was his own blind speculation there, and the people who generally like to pay attention to these gossips are aunts and aunts, why did this uncle give birth to the wrong gender?
This is all the way to Shangping Village. He didn't stop at all when he opened his mouth to spit and the stars flew sideways, and then when he arrived at Kong Xiaomei's house, he stopped and let us go, standing in the yard and shouting Uncle Kong, Ye Anxu and I sweated silently, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The uncle told Uncle Kong about the situation. Then he left by himself, this Shangping Village is quite close, no wonder this name is like a couple. Uncle Kong is not young, about sixty or seventy, walking tremblingly, drying clothes in the yard, he was called out by the uncle, and now he is looking at me and Ye Anxu with a puzzled face.
I stepped forward to tell Uncle Kong the truth, saying that we are reporters, come here for an interview, learn a little bit about the situation from him, and then Uncle Kong asked us very reasonably, what do we want to know? After all, he is an old man, that is, he has wisdom, and he should know that our interview will only be beneficial and not harmful to this village.
I asked him if he recognized Zhu Xiaoqian, Uncle Kong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said I know, isn't it the old Zhu family over there? After the kiln? Why does this sound so weird? Uncle Kong said that the place is seven or eight miles away from here, and the mountain road is very difficult to walk, and it is close to the mountain, and sometimes there are wild beasts running out to cause trouble, if there is no need, don't go.
I had to go anyway, so I told Uncle Kong that it was okay, but I heard that the situation of their family was very bad, so I wanted to take a look, and someone came to donate when the report was out, right? Uncle Kong was silent for a while, and said that since you insist so much, I won't stop you, but that section of the road is more dangerous and not easy to walk, so I'll ask Erdan'er to take you there! As he spoke, he took out a wooden cane from behind the door and walked out of the yard, Ye Anxu and I glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
On the way, I called Sissi and Ling Yi, because they passed by this village when they came, so as soon as they said that they knew where it was, they said that they would come over immediately, the two villages are quite close, and it will take about ten or twenty minutes to walk, so it stands to reason that it will become a village? Why do you have to make it into two villages? This may be a historical reason, I asked Uncle Kong and he said that it has been like this since the older generation, and they don't know it, I said in my heart your older generation? How old does that have to be? I don't think anyone knows, but I don't care what I'm doing anyway, forget it, don't pursue these haves or not, it's not a good thing to be too curious!
Erdan'er is a thin and dark young man, no more than one meter seven tall, his eyes are a little dull, Ye Anxu and I glanced at each other, we both understood what each other was thinking, is this guy reliable? Uncle Kong smiled and said don't be afraid of the second egg's stupidity, on the back of the cellar, in addition to the people over there can enter and exit safely, he can take you in, otherwise as soon as this person enters, maybe he won't be able to get out!
Depend on!!! Such an evil one? I don't believe it, Uncle Kong said don't believe it, over the years, because of the missing people in the back cellar, I don't know how many, all of them have disappeared near there. (To be continued.) )
