Chapter 175: The Source of the Tragedy
In fact, as a father, how could Zhao Guoqing not feel sorry for his son, but he also knew that if his son's appearance was seen by strangers, he would either be frightened too much or laugh at the appearance of the two of them, no matter which one it was, it would be a harm to them.
Therefore, as a father, Zhao Guoqing must completely put an end to this kind of injury......
But after all, they are two children who are only 10 years old, they do not go to school and are not allowed to see people, and they are locked up in a dark house all day...... As time passed, their temperament naturally became more eccentric.
Over the years, only when Ni Kai went up the mountain, the two of them could feel a little happy, because this big brother would always bring them many novel toys...... It's a little comfort to their souls.
I don't know if it's because blood is thicker than water, although Ni Kai grew up in Ni's family since he was a child, he is not close to them at all. In the end, it was during the summer vacation of his second year of junior high school that he overheard the conversation between Zhao Guoqing and Xu Jinhua that he realized his true identity.
Ni Kai finally understood why Zhao Guoqing had been so good to himself over the years, and even looked far past his so-called father Ni Zhongyun. Ni Kai doesn't want to talk too much about the grievances and hatreds of the elders, but now that he knows his life experience, he naturally wants to try his best to return to his biological parents.
Of course, Ni Kai will not say anything about it now, not because he is afraid of being embarrassed, but because he feels that there is no need to uncover the scars of the year, so that his parents can't lift it.
Besides, in name Zhao Guoqing is also Ni Kai's father, as for whether there is a word "step" in front of this...... It doesn't matter to him at all. So after graduating from university, despite everyone's opposition, Ni Kai came to the foot of Yuanmao Mountain to open a homestay, because he felt that he had to take care of his parents and two younger brothers on the mountain, and he was all they could hope for in the future.
In fact, Ni Kai has always wanted to take his younger brothers down the mountain to check on them to see what caused their congenital malformations. But Zhao Guoqing always disagreed, because he couldn't bear the eyes of others when they saw them, so he would rather take the second and third generations to live on Yuanmao Mountain.
Later, the county vigorously engaged in tourism economy, and once invited a scientific research team to test the local water quality. This incident is a wake-up call to Ni Kai, could it be because of the water quality of Yuanmao Mountain, so it caused the deformity of his younger brothers?
So Ni Kai took samples of the well water that his parents usually drink and tested them at his own expense, but the results showed that the toxic heavy metals in the underground water quality of Yuanmao Mountain seriously exceeded the standard......
If Ni Kai remembers correctly, to the northwest of the staff dormitory area is the vacant land where abandoned coal gangue used to be piled up, and after the coal mine was shut down, a large amount of untreated coal gangue was piled up there.
Over the years, the sun and rain have caused the harmful substances in the coal gangue to slowly infiltrate the land and the underground water body under the land. Ni Kai only did a test of groundwater, not anything else, and Zhao Guoqing and his family have been eating vegetables and chickens they have grown in the mountains for many years......
After finding the source of the tragedy, Ni Kai's heart was extremely painful, and he once thought about suing the coal mine, but the company no longer existed. In the end, he had no choice but to tell Zhao Guoqing about it, and he was silent for a long time after hearing it, and finally only told Ni Kai not to tell his mother about it.
In fact, Ni Kai also thought so in his heart, because the matter has come to this point, no matter whether he can get compensation or not, he can't change the fact that his two younger brothers have become disabled, and saying it can only make their mother more painful.
Since then, Ni Kai has regularly gone up the mountain to deliver some ingredients and water to prevent them from eating the food that has been contaminated on the mountain. But Xu Jinhua, who didn't know the truth, always complained that his son was too wasteful, saying that his money was not blown by the wind, and it was better to save it.
As for the things that Ni Kai did, Zhao Guoqing actually noticed it a few years ago, but on the one hand, he didn't want to admit that his son was a pervert who liked to kill, and on the other hand, he didn't want others to know about it.
It should have been when Ni Kai learned that it was water pollution that harmed their family, and Zhao Guoqing found that the number of times his eldest son went up the mountain began to become more and more frequent......
At first, Zhao Guoqing thought that Ni Kai was afraid that they would eat the water on the mountain again, so he often went up the mountain to deliver things. But then he gradually discovered that every time Ni Kai spent the night on the mountain, he would go to see the second and third brothers late at night.
At that time, the tourism industry in the county was just emerging, and there were many tourists who traveled by car to go up the mountain to play, so Zhao Guoqing had blocked the road to Yuanmao Mountain several times, but there were always some particularly capable tourists who ran up to play by themselves.
At that time, Zhao Guoqing didn't think about it so much, he was just worried that there were tourists from other places who ran into Yuanmao Mountain without knowing the depth and encountered danger, so he started to close the road. It wasn't until one time, when he accidentally found some dried blood stains in an empty house, that he began to suspect Ni Kai's true purpose of going up the mountain......
After several nights of tracking, what surprised Zhao Guoqing was that Ni Kai actually took the second and third children to rob money and kill people together! But the second child is timid by nature, he was scared after witnessing the third child and the eldest brother kill people, often has nightmares at night, and will let out a wolf-like wail at every turn.
Zhao Guoqing was also afraid that if he did too much of this kind of thing, sooner or later someone would find out, so he secretly followed his sons to help them deal with the aftermath. But he still didn't want to see someone die because of this, so every time he encountered tourists who forced their way up the mountain, he tried to drive them down the mountain.
When Yuan Muye heard Zhao Guoqing say this, he said curiously, "Where are all the bodies of those people hidden by you?" ”
Zhao Guoqing sighed when he heard this, "The corpse was disposed of by Ni Kai and them, and this mountain is full of large and small pits, and if you throw it into that pit, you will never be found......"
"What about the cars that those people drove up the mountain? Ni Kai can't throw all the cars into the pit on the mountain! Yuan Muye asked.
Zhao Guoqing's face became a little pale at this time, he paused for a moment, and then said slowly, "Those cars were dismantled by me, and all the things that could be bought were sold for scrap iron, and the engines and other things that were easy to be found were put together by me and those coal mining equipment that had long been rusted, anyway, no one would ever ask for those things." ”
