Chapter 36: Human Life
It turned out that someone was missing, a boy who was still seven or eight years old, and suddenly disappeared, and his father and mother began to get anxious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Du Yuan, I searched everywhere, but I still couldn't find anyone, where could this person go?
"My Lei'er, where the hell has he gone?" Xia Yuanding saw a peasant woman crying, obviously worried about the missing child.
"Second aunt, don't worry, let's all help find it, we must find the child back!" Someone next to him comforted.
It is very rare that Xia Yuanding heard the gong that summoned the whole village for the first time, and the originally silent mountain village immediately boiled, and the young and strong laborers with flexible hands and feet went around in an organized manner.
The class couldn't be completed, Xia Yuanding also followed his friends to look for it in the village, and the places of hide and seek were all searched, but no one was found, until the sun went down and the sun gradually set, and there was no news coming.
At this time, Xia Yuanding and the children could only go home, and Xia Yuanding's face was no longer happy in the past, and he was wondering if anything bad would happen.
Xia Shouzhi hurriedly went home, ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, and then went out again in a hurry, and then helped find the missing teenager Xu Lei.
"Mother, did you say he was abducted?" Xia Yingxue asked.
"Nonsense, how could you be abducted, maybe you got lost alone!" Xia Li said.
"No, I know the road, how could I get lost!" It is also said that these seven or eight-year-old children should know the road, as long as they don't go too far, they shouldn't remember the way home and where things are going on.
Xia Yuanding already had a judgment on this matter in his heart, but he couldn't say it, and when he heard it, he would think it was cursing people. He thinks that if you don't really get lost, then there are two possibilities, one is that in the mountains to the south, it is always dangerous to go deeper, but children generally do not go there, because there are ancestral graves of various families on the mountain, and children are afraid to go to that kind of place. Another possibility is the Yingliu River in the north, if you are greedy for fun, the possibility of falling into the water is very high.
The sky was completely dark, there was only a bright moon and few stars in the dark sky, and at the urging of his mother, Xia Yuanding could only go back to the house to rest, lie on the bed, and wait for his father to come back, but until he fell asleep in a daze, he didn't hear his father's knock on the door.
Early the next morning, when Xia Yuanding saw his father again, seeing Xia Shouzhi's solemn expression, Xia Yuanding sighed, thinking that something was wrong.
Sister Xia Yingxue asked "Has anyone found it?" with a lot of mouths, but was reprimanded by her mother for not asking more, so that the sisters and brothers could eat well.
Not to mention that the sister who was reprimanded by her mother felt uncomfortable, Xia Shouzhi finished breakfast, said that he was busy dealing with things, and turned his head and went out first.
Xia Yuanding calmly told his mother that he was going out, and walked towards the school with heavy steps, but he didn't expect that he who planned to look at life with a playful attitude encountered such a thing, he was reflecting, for life, is he thinking less.
The life of a moth is short, but there is also a moment of firefighting, flowers bloom and fall, clouds roll up, he can't do it to stay unintentionally, honor and disgrace are not shocked, but sigh life is a grass and autumn!
I came to the school with a low mood, and sure enough, everyone who came began to discuss.
"Xu Lei was found in the lower reaches of the Yingliu River, and said that he found it in a bush of cattail!"
"When I found it, the person was already dead, didn't he know how to water, how could he still drown?" That's a good question, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, people are animals that seek advantages and avoid harm, and landlubbers naturally don't run to the water's edge for a long time. But now it's spring, and people naturally don't have an accident because they want to swim, so they may accidentally fall into the water.
"He said before that he wanted to come to the school to study with Mr., but he won't have a chance in the future!" As soon as he said this, there was silence around, but they were all frightened by this statement.
"Yuan Ding, why don't you speak, don't you have anything to say?" Xia Yuanming leaned over and asked.
Xia Yuanding didn't want to answer this, so he said nonsense: "People are inherently ...... to die."
As soon as half a sentence came out, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I quickly took back the words, and it happened that at this time my grandfather came, and it was better to remove all distractions and concentrate on my studies.
However, the old man seemed to be really unfazed, and did not say a word about the child falling into the water, and of course he probably would not mention it to his group of students.
His teaching plan is carried out in an orderly manner, without being disturbed by the outside world, regardless of the wind and rain outside the window, and only the sound of Lang reading aloud and the sound of reading in the pit is heard indoors.
There is relatively nothing to do here, but there is busy dealing with this accidental life incident, since there is a dead person, it must be reported to the official, and someone will deal with it, only if it is determined that it is an accidental death in the water, this matter can be qualified.
Of course, the witnesses to the incident will definitely be summoned, and the confessions will be recorded, which is a bit tedious but necessary.
finally finished a class, but grandpa Xia Jizu was the only one who didn't give him time to play with Xia Yuanjie, threw each of them a book for them to memorize, and opened all the ancient texts with allusions.
This can be regarded as a small stove, Xia Yuanding thought, grandpa is unfair to those students who are playing in this way, he strongly complains for them in his heart, hoping that they can come to their senses and stand up against this behavior.
It's not that he's worried about his situation, it's just an ancient text, he's a person who can't forget, what's so difficult to memorize a few articles, he is distressed that he doesn't have this kind of talent, you see how hard he memorizes.
Hearing that an official from the county was coming, Xia Yuanding moved his mind to go and see, because he hadn't seen what the officials here were like, whether they were wearing well-dressed official uniforms, which made him very curious.
But he also knew that when he reported it today, the county didn't come so quickly, and considering the distance, it would be close to dark in the evening at the earliest.
In fact, Xia Yuanding didn't see any decent officials coming over at all, just a coroner and a pretend, what did he do, to put it bluntly, he was to examine the injuries of both the living and the dead.
It is often said that 360 lines are the champion, and if you think about it carefully, this is not entirely true. It is also one of the 36 lines, but this is a lowly industry, because it belongs to the "officials", and the descendants of the officials are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.
Just think about it, Xia Yuanding didn't have a chance to contact that kind of place, and he was still looking forward to when the salt in the house would be gone again, so that he could go out again.
Some people are happy and some are worried, the dull days have to pass day by day, after the blink of an eye, something big is going to happen in the village again, Du Yuanwai's good deeds are finally going to be implemented, sadly, this road has not been repaired to Xia Yuanding's house.
Xia Yuanding vowed that when he earned money, he would build the road and build a big mansion with five entrances and five exits.
When he thinks of these, he can wake up with a smile when he sleeps, only then he is cute, but after waking up from a dream and looking around, he still has nothing.
He wants to be quiet, but the red apricot branches are in spring, and the countryside is less happy at the moment!
