Chapter 59: The Village Chief's House
At the village chief's house in Guyue Village, the village chief Gu Shuisheng only walked into the house slowly with a cane at this moment.
Since the mountain ravaged and the villagers who could walk have also left, the people who remain in the village are either old people who are too old to walk, or orphans who have no father or mother......
And he, as the head of this village, when there are still villagers in the village, he can't just take care of his own family and turn his back on the villagers. So, the village chief did not listen to his sons' advice to leave and stayed. Fortunately, the sons are also filial, and when they saw that their father insisted on not leaving, they also chose to stay.
Every time the thieves enter the village, they are responsible for helping the village chief take care of the remaining villagers, so the villagers in the village have always thought that they are grateful to the village chief's family.
And not long ago, someone from the town came to the news, saying that the lord in the capital had arrived, and recently, there was frequent good news that several bandit teams in the vicinity had been moved by the lord to move away. As soon as these good news came out, they were shocked, and now, the villagers who received the good news have also begun to return to their hometowns one after another, and he, as the village head, will of course go to inquire when the villagers return, which is not just entering the house.
However, the village chief soon discovered the situation, and his two grandchildren would go out to greet him every time he entered the house, but today, the house is quiet and there is no sound at all.
He knew that today's eldest daughter-in-law had something to do with his mother's side, and the eldest son accompanied him back to his mother's house to save his relatives. And the second son was because the prefect sent someone to pass down the message that there was something to convey, and every village needed to send a representative to go, so the second son was sent by him to run errands.
After the old woman learned about this, she thought that there were a lot of things that were lacking at home, and she urgently needed to make up for them, so she also asked the second daughter-in-law to accompany the second son.
And the old woman and her two grandchildren were left behind to take care of the house, but now that he has been in the door for a while, there is still no sound in the house, is this wrong? So, he couldn't help but go into the house, and looked around, only to see the old woman who was already asleep in his room, and the two grandsons were missing.
Seeing this, the village chief panicked for no reason, and immediately hurriedly woke up the sleeping old woman and asked, "Wake up, old woman...... Wake up the old woman ......"
"Hmm...... Old man, what are you doing here, you can't take a nap and let people live in peace? The village chief's wife, Zhou, was sleeping soundly, but she was still a little angry when she was suddenly woken up, so she opened her somewhat cloudy eyes and shouted with a little anger.
"Let me ask you, where did Cheng'er and Yang'er go? I've been in the house for a long time and I haven't seen them? I don't know why, the feeling of uneasiness in the village chief's heart is getting heavier and heavier, his two precious grandsons are the baby bumps in the family, they are often filial to their families, caring and sensible, and now, don't do anything.
"After Cheng'er and Yang'er stayed at home for a while in the morning, they said that they missed you and made a fuss about going out to find you, didn't they go?" As soon as Zhou heard the village chief's slightly nervous question about the whereabouts of his grandson, now that the old man had gone home, but the two grandsons were gone, suddenly, the anger of being pushed awake disappeared, and the worry in his heart couldn't help but be raised all of a sudden.
