Chapter 197: The Child Is Missing Again
The morning sun was gentle, and the sun made the bones soft.
In the woods outside, there would be black birds singing, although it was a little noisy, but Yan Yu liked to listen to it.
A person in the distance, holding firewood, walked over slowly.
He was also in his forties, with his hair tied up, a long beard, and coarse cloth clothes, which was quite ancient.
A few days ago, Yan Yu regained his ability to speak and had a long talk with him, but the result made Yan Yu feel a little disappointed.
This person's name is Xie Changchun, and he is also a hard-working person, after resuming the college entrance examination, he once thought about studying to change his fate, but unfortunately he fell off the list.
Carrying all the expectations of his family, he was also under a lot of pressure, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he ran away from home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, he escaped into the mountains and forests, just to avoid the limelight, and wait for his family to forgive him, and then go back.
But after he settled down, he no longer had the courage to go out, so he stayed in the mountains.
He said that he picked up Yan Yu from the river, thinking that it was a big fish that had been dead for a long time, but later found that Yan Yu was wrapped in a ball of slimy things, and it took a lot of effort to save Yan Yu ashore.
Yan Yu also went to see the river, and the river stretched into the mountains, and it was a little difficult to trace.
However, the river is very clear, the water is abundant, and the surrounding forests are forested, which is not at all like the landform of the old river fort, and only after asking did I know that it is at least dozens of kilometers away from the old river fort.
Yan Yu didn't expect that instead of being buried underground, he also drifted along the underground river to a place dozens of kilometers away.
What made him even more unexpected was that after asking the date, he found out that he should have been wrapped in a green "eggshell" for more than ten days.
After being rescued by Xie Changchun, he fell asleep for another five or six days, and it took more than ten days to regain his ability to speak when he woke up, and then it took more than ten days to regain some strength, otherwise he would not be able to move out to bask in the sun.
After a rough calculation, two months passed like this, and he couldn't get up and walk.
Fortunately, Xie Changchun is a good person, and he has planted a lot of things in the mountains, and even raised chickens and ducks.
Yan Yu was a little puzzled at first, but after asking, he learned that there was another woman living with Xie Changchun.
This woman is from a nearby village, and because she was subjected to domestic violence by her husband, she accidentally killed her husband when she was torn apart, so she fled to the mountains.
Later, I found out that her husband was not dead, but she didn't dare to go back, so she stayed here, Xie Changchun took her in, and the two gradually lived together.
They are not completely isolated from the world, they still communicate with the outside world, and there are many people from outside who come to do ideological work before, hoping that they will move out, but they are not willing.
At first, they were still a little scared, because Yan Yu was like a monkey that had lost his hair, and he hadn't died for so many days, which was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Later, Yan Yu was able to speak, and they knew that Yan Yu was a normal person, and when they talked about things outside, they gradually became acquainted.
Yan Yu once wanted to stay and live.
Because the people outside must have thought that he was buried in the ground and had already died, and the old devil's base should no longer exist, and the threat had been lifted.
It's just that Yan Yu still can't let go of some things, he hasn't found his father yet, and Qin Dayou hasn't figured out what is going on.
Moreover, Jiang Huijie may still be waiting for him to go back.
During the coma, he also vaguely recalled some images, dragging his feet in the green pool, saving him from the explosion, and he didn't know who the sacredness was, whether it was his hallucination, or the guardian came to the rescue, Yan Yu was not sure.
When his mind was flowing, Xie Changchun had already walked forward, put down the firewood, scooped a scoop of cold water in the water tank next to him, and drank it refreshingly.
"Brother Xie has worked hard, I have a little strength today, I may be able to help you do some work tomorrow......"
Xie Changchun waved his hand: "I don't want you to work, although this mountain is good, it is very pleasant to chat with you, after all, you have read books, and you have read a lot of books." ”
This is not polite, he does like to chat with Yan Yu, especially for books, very obsessed, most of the reason why he communicates with the outside world is to collect books.
He has no education as a woman, there is no entertainment in the mountains, and he used to teach him women to read and write, but then he gave up.
Yan Yu was embarrassed to ask the reason, but later Xie Changchun took the initiative to talk about it, saying that he wanted a child, but he was a little old, and although he often tossed, his stomach just didn't move.
The older she gets, the more anxious she becomes, and the whole person is in a trance.
Yan Yu also sighed with emotion, although the days in this mountain are Xiao Yao, but they are bitter and lonely, if there is a child, they must be a lot of joy.
Moreover, with children, they also have more sustenance and hope.
But these are all women's meanings, Xie Changchun doesn't seem to be willing to cooperate, according to him, although he can't starve to death now, it's not easy to feed a child, why bring him to this world to suffer.
As he was talking, there was a sudden commotion on the mountain road!
Xie Changchun and Yan Yu looked at it at a glance, and their faces also changed greatly!
A group of people pushed and shoved, grabbed his woman, and came up the mountain!
In the morning, the woman went down the mountain to exchange things, and she was still happy, but at this time her face was scratched, her body was very dirty, the corners of her eyebrows were cracked, and there were blood stains solidified, and the left side of her face was red and swollen, and there was blood hanging from the corners of her mouth!
"What are you going to do! Let her go! ”
Xie Changchun picked up the firewood knife next to him and rushed over!
Yan Yu also tried to stand up, because he knew that the couple were not as good as they imagined, and the people under the mountain discriminated against them, and even regarded them as savages and mental illness.
"Xie Changchun, hand over the child quickly, otherwise we will arrest this crazy woman and put her in jail!"
"Kid? What child? Xie Changchun was also confused, looking at his woman, but the latter shook his head desperately.
At the head of the crowd was a man in his fifties, wearing a white short coat, a faded green military uniform, black cloth shoes, and a cigarette stick in his hand.
"Changchun, you live here, the villagers have not treated you badly, and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are not missing you, I know that you want a child, but you can't steal or rob it!"
Yan Yu suddenly realized, it turned out that the villagers suspected that Xie Changchun's daughter-in-law had stolen their child!
Xie Changchun was also anxious: "Village chief, others don't understand, don't you know me, when I came, did I take a stitch from you?" After all these years, have I ever done stealing chickens and dogs? ”
The village chief nodded, but shook his head again, and pointed at Changchun's daughter-in-law with a cigarette stick and said, "You won't, but she will...... Changchun, look back, she even sewed the child's clothes, can you say that she doesn't have this mind? ”
Xie Changchun's heart was tight, because his daughter-in-law did sew the child's clothes and small shoes, and they were dried outside, and everyone saw it in their eyes at this time!
"Village chief, although she has always wanted a child, she is not such a person, she has also suffered hardships, it is impossible to do such a thing!" Xie Changchun was also anxiously distinguishing.
But the village chief still shook his head: "Changchun, she was fine in the early years, but she was almost stunned to think about her children in the past two years, I'm not polite to say, her brain is no longer clear, haven't you found it yourself!" ”
Xie Changchun and his daughter-in-law depended on each other, saying that it was okay to do anything else, and that his daughter-in-law was crazy, that would be unacceptable!
"Village Chief, you can't talk like that! You say she stole the child, what about the child! As far as the facts are concerned, you are now a personal attack, which is not right! ”
The village chief also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he frowned for a while, and smoked his cigarette stick.
A man in his thirties, who should be the father of the child, with a black face, an open chest, and a chest as strong as steel, came up and pointed at Xie Changchun and scolded.
"Here you two are outsiders, this paralyzed man can't move, it's not you, that's your daughter-in-law, if you don't return the child today, I will burn down your broken house and arrest you to prison for life!"
Xie Changchun was also anxious: "We didn't do this at all, what will we give back to you, we must speak with our conscience, we must tell the evidence, and compare our hearts with our hearts, I, Xie Changchun, am not afraid of shadows, when have I ever done something bad!" ”
The man was furious and rushed up to fight, but his woman dragged him and cried to Xie Changchun: "Changchun, you have also seen my baby, a male baby as tall as a little tiger, that is the lifeblood of our family, even if I beg you, return the child, in the future, as long as my family has a mouthful of food, I will never starve the two of you?" ”
"Auntie, you are ...... We didn't steal the baby! Xie Changchun was about to cry and wanted to go over, but was stopped by the men, so he had to shout to his daughter-in-law from afar: "Ayu, you say something, where have you been, who have you seen, who has seen you again, say it, we are innocent!" ”
Her daughter-in-law was obviously scared silly, after all, she had experienced domestic violence, and she was afraid that her psychological shadow would be aroused, but she was just crying and trembling all over, where could she still say half a sentence!
The man was in a hurry, so he went to the side to pick up a handful of firewood and lit it on the spot.
"She didn't say anything but confessed, and I couldn't see the child today, so I set it on fire!"
Everyone persuaded and cried, and suddenly became a pot of porridge.
Yan Yu has been paying attention to the scene, and he is quite unhappy in his heart, because the beginning of his involvement in all this is the disappearance of the child, and it is Lin Xiaoyu's child who is missing, and he can understand the feelings of this couple.
But he also believed in Xie Changchun and his wife, they would never do such a thing.
And what the village chief said is indeed a bit excessive, the daughter-in-law of the Xie family is indeed eager to have a child, but she is clear-minded, she is by no means a madman, and she can't do anything to steal children.
Yan Yu thought about it, and finally said, "Village chief, can I say something?" ”
Yan Yu has been living here for more than two months, and the children in the village often come up to the mountains to see him, a "wild man", throw some sundries at him, and even beat him with a slingshot, so the villagers are not strangers to him.
