CHAPTER XLV
When I arrived in a certain province, I learned that there were a total of eight places with the name "Yangshan Village", and after screening, the current place was finally determined.
When I arrived in Yangshan Village, I first borrowed a farmer's house, and after a few days of communication and emotional exchanges with the farmer, I heard that a family member had brought back a little girl from there ten years ago. It is said that there are only two couples in this family, and they cannot have children for a lifetime, and the man died of cancer two years ago.
The next day, Erwa and Binzi found the farmer.
It was a dilapidated house, surrounded by timber and branches, and the house was crooked, and the tiles on it seemed to fall off.
A dog crawled lazily on the ground in the middle of the yard dam, basking in the sun, and several old man's coughs came from the house.
Hearing the barking of the dog, the old man came out of the house with his body bent over while scolding the dog.
At a glance at the second baby, it is estimated that the old man should be in his sixties, although his body is not very stretched, but his movements look quite healthy.
"Auntie, is there only one person in your family?" The second baby shouted from outside.
"Ah, yes, what are you doing?"
"We're passing by, come and go." The second baby thinks it's a mistake, there are no children in this family.
The old man was very enthusiastic, as if he hadn't seen anyone for a long time: "Come and sit down and go again, this sun and earth are very good, drink some water."
"Don't be thirsty, thank you old man!" Erwa said and pointed her finger at the dog.
"It's okay, the dog doesn't bite, come in, it's okay."
Erwa opened the wooden gate with her hand, and entered the courtyard with Binzi.
"Come, sit in the house, and the sun will be shining outside."
"Okay, Auntie."
The second baby did not sit down when she arrived in the house, but looked around.
It was supposed to be a hall, with a dining table of indistinguishable material in the left corner of the far back, and a lacquered coffin next to the wall on the right, and a square fire pit next to the coffin. There is no need for a fire this season, so there is only a furnace full of ash left.
But under the table, Erwa found a child's homework paper, Erwa walked over and hooked up and picked it up, and suddenly her heart jumped wildly.
This is a piece of paper with a pencil crookedly written a few words, although the words are uneven, but the second baby still recognizes, "Dad", "Mom", "Grandpa", "Grandma".
The second baby couldn't help but start shaking with the hand holding the paper, and her eyes were moist......
"I don't know what the paper is blowing there, look at what he does!" The old man snatched the paper from the second baby's hand, crumpled it into a ball and threw it in the stove.
"Come, drink water, drink the sun so much." As he spoke, the old man handed Erwa an enamel bowl, on which there were a few wheat-like things floating on it, which should be a local "specialty tea".
The second baby calmed down a little and took the bowl from the old man's hand.
Before leaving, Erwa took a deep look at the old man, and then he found that the old man's hair was all white, and the folds on his face were like terraces......
The borrower told Erwa that there was a primary school not far from here, with only a dozen students, and the old man's children went to school there.
Erwa bypassed the ridges, a dilapidated courtyard appeared in front of him, there were still some weeds around the yard that had not been trampled on by the children, the ground of the yard was also uneven, and more than a dozen children were jumping in the yard, laughing and laughing.
In order not to disturb the children, Erwa and Binzi stood in a corner that was not easy to be found, watching quietly.
Erwa's eyes kept searching and observing every figure, eager to capture her own shadow from it.
A little girl shouted the name of her classmate in a loud voice, her voice was sharp and sweet, and the eyes of the second baby immediately locked on the little girl, and suddenly felt an impulse that she had never felt before, and the blood rushed to the top of her head, and she couldn't open her mouth in excitement.
This child is too much like Yan Ting, she is thin and small, although she is wearing not very new clothes, she still can't hide her dexterous figure.
Erwa's mouth trembled slightly, and his nose twitched slightly, and he blinked his eyes a few times to suppress his tears from flowing.
Bin Zi watched Erwa staring at a place motionlessly, and also followed Erwa's line of sight. It's really too similar, it's just a living little Yan Ting! Bin Zi was dumbfounded, he couldn't hide his feelings: "Second brother and second brother, absolutely, absolutely!"
Erwa turned her head and nodded to Binzi.
When the children got out of school, they were happily jumping on the ridges of the fields like birds. The second baby's eyes never left Xiao Yan Ting, and followed it from a distance. He was worried that she would fall, he was worried that she would accidentally get mixed with weeds, and he would never let her disappear in front of his eyes again, and he would not let her be hurt again!
Seeing Xiao Yanting enter the courtyard of the old man's house, Erwa and Binzi returned to their residence, he knew that he should be able to have a good dream tonight, and his sleep should be the sweetest in so many years.
The next day, Erwa found the local village chief and described the ins and outs to him, hoping that the village chief would come forward to solve the matter.
"It's not easy to do this, you have no basis for what you say! Besides, after so many years of this, no one knows what happened, and we know that someone picked up a child from outside. The village chief paused and said: "You know, our place is remote, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the information is blocked, everyone is doing things according to the folk customs handed down by the ancestors for thousands of years, I really can't help you with this." The village chief shook his head and said helplessly.
"In this case, you should discuss with the old lady first and see what her tone is." The village chief gave Erwa an idea. The second baby thinks about it, at least she doesn't know what's going on with the old man and what it means, so she should go to the old man first to see what she says.
If the second baby doesn't say anything, as soon as she says it, the old lady's face immediately turns white. "My old man picked it up ten years ago and said it was thrown away. What evidence do you have that says it's your child? What have you been doing all these years? Can't see your own children well? The old lady became angry and spoke sonorously and forcefully, and looked unusually excited, and her hands trembled like old bark.
At this time, more than a dozen men and women poured in from outside the fence, all holding sticks and sticks in their hands, and their mouths kept shouting, surrounding Erwa and Binzi.
One of them held an axe handle in his hand and said to the second baby: "What are you doing, you want to rob people!"
The people behind all shouted:
"Those who come there, get out."
"Who is so bold as to dare to come here to rob people."
"Beat him away."
At this time, I heard the village chief shouting behind the crowd: "What are you doing, what are you doing, fight in a group, get out of the way!"
"What, you guys? If you have something to say, why should you be rude! ”
The village chief came to Erwa's side and pointed to a group of people behind: "See, young man, hurry up, I can't protect you after a long time."
Erwa explained to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, everyone, listen to my explanation, I'm not here to rob the child." I just lost my child, and now I'm just coming to take a look, to confirm, there is no intention of robbing, everyone understands, understand the feelings of a father who has lost a child. ”
"You lost the kid and ran here to find something, get back, get out." One of the young men in their thirties said angrily.
Bin Zi couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran over and pointed at the young man: "Keep your mouth clean, let someone go!"
"Let you go, what's the matter, don't roll and kill you, try." Another middle-aged man standing behind the young man said viciously.
Binzi took another step forward and was pulled by Erwa: "What are you doing, go back." After speaking, he raised his hands, "Don't misunderstand, folks, don't misunderstand, if you can't understand, then let's go, rest assured, we are not bad people." After the second baby finished speaking, she pulled Bin Zi and walked out, and Bin Zi muttered unconvinced.
Out of the courtyard, Erwa turned back to Bin Zi and said: "You can't contradict them in this place, the villagers don't know the details, and it doesn't make sense to reason with them now." Besides, there must be a lot of this kind of thing in this place, and everyone is used to it. ”
"Let's go, let's go to the county seat now."
"What are you doing in the county seat?" Bin Zi asked a little puzzled.
"Find the police." After the second baby finished speaking, she flew straight to the main road.
The Public Security Bureau heard Erwa's report, immediately took Erwa, drove two police cars, and drove straight to Yangshan Village.
At this time, the villagers had already dispersed, and Xiao Yanting had already gone home from school. On a bench in the middle of the courtyard, the old lady hugged Xiao Yanting tightly, shedding tears, for fear that as soon as she let go, Xiao Yanting would fly away like a bird. And Xiao Yanting climbed tightly on her grandmother's shoulder, and also touched her tears aggrievedly.
"Old man, how did the child come here?" The policewoman who led the team went over, squatted down and asked.
The old man didn't seem surprised by the arrival of the police, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve: "My man picked it up."
"What about the old man?"
"Dead," replied the old lady.
"That's right, old man, now the biological father of the child's child has been found, and the family wants to take the child."
"Why did you take my granddaughter? I grew up from a baby girl! Why did he say that his child was his child, and there was no evidence? Although the old lady tried her best to lower her voice for fear of scaring the little Yan Ting in her arms, her angry expression was still fully displayed, and after speaking, she turned her face angrily and looked at the little Yan Ting in her arms kindly.
"Of course, we have to go through an investigation and collect evidence, there is a process, but, the elderly, no matter how the child comes, it is illegal, and child trafficking is a big crime." The policewoman deliberately irritated the old man.
The policewoman said to a policeman next to her, "Go, get the village chief."
At this time, almost the whole village gathered again, everyone pointed and discussed, and it was the first time that so many policemen had come back.
After the village chief came, the policewoman called the village chief aside and told the village chief: Although the child is still not sure that the child is here, if it is determined that the child will be returned to the child's biological parents, as for how the child came about, because the person concerned is no longer there, so the investigation will not be pursued for the time being.
But the female policeman also clearly told Erwa: To determine that the child is yours, you need to go through DNA testing. However, considering that the children are still young and the elderly are old, it is necessary to consider the specific situation to deal with this matter.
The second baby understands this, this thing can't be done in a day or two. Another policeman cut a few hairs from the child and put them away, then turned around and told the second baby:
"You wait for the results, and we'll let you know when the results come out."
Then the policewoman called the village chief aside and asked him to do the ideological work of the old man for the past two days. Erwa also said on the spot: "I am willing to bear all the aftermath of the old man's life, if she is willing, I can take her to my house to live with us, and I promise to treat her like my own mother." In addition, I will donate money to build a brand new school for your village. ”
