Chapter 198: The Old Thing Fortunately Didn't Happen Again
The villagers still respect cultural people, otherwise Xie Changchun would not have been hiding here for so many years, after all, the village has a xenophobic vigilance.
Although Yan Yu is a "strange person" taken in by Xie Changchun, he has the temperament of a cultural person, and now the two sides are facing each other and arguing, Yan Yu is half a third party, he stood up and spoke, and the village chief thought it was feasible, so he nodded.
Yan Yu is good at time, and he doesn't talk nonsense: "Whether the child is lost, abducted or stolen, the golden time for recovery is 24 hours in principle." ”
"Whether it is stolen or robbed, looking for the child should be put first, if it is really she who snatched the child, it is impossible to leave nothing, Brother Xie is a kind person, if you don't believe it, I believe he will allow you to search, but I personally think it doesn't mean much, you can only waste time."
Yan Yu said this, in the eyes of the villagers, it is very professional, professional represents authority, and they are all serious.
"According to the geography of the village, it is difficult for cars to get in, and if you want to get out, you need to walk a long mountain road, which also increases the time for children to leave, so it is imperative to find the last place where the children will appear."
"Where did the child last appear?" The village chief turned to the couple and asked, "When was the last time you saw your baby?" ”
The woman wiped away her tears: "In the morning she ran out and went wild, and where did she see ......?"
The village chief also frowned, but the children in the village are not as expensive as those in the city, and they are basically so "free-range", which is normal.
Yan Yu had to ask: "Since you are so relieved that the child is running around, what makes you think that he was stolen by Ayu's sister-in-law?" ”
"My baby is not feeling well, these days are drinking medicinal soup, although this child is naughty, but the matter of taking medicine is still very obedient, it is almost noon, he has not come back to eat the morning medicinal soup......"
"My mother-in-law was anxious, she looked everywhere, but she didn't see anyone, and she asked the children in the village, and they all said that they hadn't seen it, so she was in a hurry."
"Everyone went to look for it, and they saw this crazy woman...... I saw her by the river, washing my baby's clothes! ”
The woman was going to cry again, and it was heart-wrenching to show her son's clothes.
Yan Yu propped up the recliner, moved to Xie Changchun's side, snatched his firewood knife over, and said to him, "Big brother, go and appease your sister-in-law and ask her what happened to her clothes." ”
Xie Changchun walked over, and Ayu threw himself into his arms, although he was still trembling, he was much better than just now.
It's really embarrassing to hug in front of so many people, but the couple is used to being alone in the mountains, they have long been unscrupulous, and they lack a sense of security now, which is also an instinctive reaction, and everyone doesn't feel anything.
Yan Yu said to Xie Changchun: "There are many people outside, my sister-in-law is uneasy, you take her back to the house and ask." ”
"This won't work! What if they run away! The man immediately wanted to stop him, but Yan Yu said, "You are all here, the road down the mountain is blocked, where can they run." ”
He couldn't help but say, he said to Xie Changchun, "Go ahead." ”
Xie Changchun nodded gratefully, and helped Ayu into the house, and after a few minutes, he walked out and said to everyone.
"Ayu said that the clothes were picked up by the river, and she has been sewing children's clothes for the past few days, and when she saw that the clothes were beautiful and thick, she picked them up......"
The man cried out again: "You said that you picked it up, you picked it up!" Hand her over! ”
Yan Yu raised his hand: "Comrade, we can all understand your feelings, but at this time, we need to be calm, she wants to snatch the child, she must even snatch the clothes with someone, what kind of clothes do you wash?" ”
"This ......"
The man had nothing to say, but the woman began to cry again: "What can I do......
Obviously, she should also know in her heart that Ayu really just picked up the clothes.
It may seem ridiculous, even stupid, but the human psyche is like this, when faced with upheaval, it will seize any possibility and firmly believe that it is the truth.
Yan Yu was also a little sad when he looked at it, and remembered the scene when the big and small pairs disappeared, so he couldn't bear it, so he said.
"Ayu said that the clothes were picked up by the river, so the child appeared by the river, so let's go to the river to have a look, maybe I can find some other clues."
"Yes, yes, yes! Go to the river! The man saw that his daughter-in-law only knew how to cry, and he was both distressed and hated that iron could not become steel, and when Yan Yu said this, it seemed to provide them with a new direction.
The villagers didn't dare to make up their minds, but they wanted to help, so they echoed one after another, and when they saw that they were about to disperse, the village chief stepped forward and said, "Thank you, comrade, I don't know your name yet......"
"My name is Yan Yu, I am a teacher, I came out for a walk, but I didn't expect to get lost, and I fell down the mountain again, thanks to Brother Xie for saving me......"
The village chief's gaze also became respectful: "It turned out to be Teacher Yan, no wonder he is so cultured in his speech." ”
"Teacher Yan, look at our situation, everyone is a little bit of a master, if you can follow and take a look, it will be much more useful than us rough men...... You see......"
Yan Yu smiled bitterly: "I'm happy to help, but now I'm a paralyzed person and can't walk......"
As soon as these words came out, the man was also ashamed, after all, they scolded Yan Yu for being a paralyzed person.
"I'll carry you!"
The man was also upright, and before Yan Yu could refuse, he scooped it up and carried Yan Yu forward.
There is a long beach along the river, and the villagers pile up stones on the bank, wash rice, wash vegetables and wash clothes, and children can also bathe in the shallow water.
When the villagers arrived, they were about to disperse to find clues, but Yan Yu hurriedly stopped: "Don't move, don't move!" ”
With so many people stepping on it, I'm afraid that no clues will be left.
The village chief hurriedly shouted: "All back!" Don't run around! ”
The prestige of the village chief was still there, and everyone stopped, so Yan Yu said to the man: "Find me a stick, and I'll go down and have a look." ”
The man found a hoe, held it in a strict voice, and walked to the riverbank.
The stone slabs on the river beach had been trampled smooth, and it was clear at a glance, and it was unlikely that anything would be left, Yan Yu walked to the mud on the left, stopped and searched, and finally stopped.
On the muddy ground on the riverbank, there are many small footprints, all barefoot, which are the footprints of children, and this should be the place where children usually play in the water.
Yan Yu walked over and saw that a few big stones on the river beach were drying some thumb-sized mud pills, and he suddenly became a little excited.
These mud balls are white mud that children dig out from the bottom of the river, knead them into projectiles, and after drying them, they can be used as slingshot bullets, which are used to shoot birds!
Yan Yu was the bitter master who was hit by the children with slingshots, and he was too familiar with these projectiles.
He crouched down and pinched the projectiles, which had just taken shape, should have been pinched in the morning, and had not dried and hardened.
But on a stone next to it, one round mark after another was left, that is, the child took away part of the projectile that had not hardened in advance.
If it was snatched away, it was impossible to take care of his "bullet" and take it away in a hurry, which can only mean that the child was not snatched away, but "hunted"!
Thinking of the unknown black bird he saw this morning, Yan Yu said to the village chief: "The child should have gone into the mountains to hunt birds, you see this projectile, it should have been taken by the child." ”
"Into the mountains to hunt birds? Can't you...... Although we let the children play around, we can't go to the mountains, this is all a thousand instructions! ”
Everyone's faces also changed: "How to find it in this mountain!" ”
"No matter how you look for it, you can go in and look for it, even if you scrape the ground, you can find it for me!" It was rare for Yan Yu to find a clue, and the village chief immediately tightened up.
Yan Yu thought for a while, and asked the village chief: "Village chief, there is a kind of bird, black body and white face, what is your name here?" ”
"Birds? It's supposed to be the Grey Sparrow......"
"Is this finch a flock?"
"Yes, what does this have to do with children?"
Yan Yu nodded: "Children like to shoot birds, you can see this well-made projectile, and when there are no birds to fight, they still hit me......"
The village chief was also embarrassed, Yan Yu did not continue to ridicule, but said to the village chief: "Children who like to hunt birds, when they see flocks of gray sparrows, how can they not chase them, gray finches should like to eat fruits, and if you see which piece of fruit in the mountains has more fruits, you can go to find the children." ”
"Of course, I'm just guessing, and I don't know if the finch likes to eat fruit, or if it has other things that it likes to eat, and it should gather in one place, and if it finds a flock of birds, it will almost find a child."
When the village chief heard this, he hurriedly gave the order, and everyone immediately dispersed.
This is good, and Yan Yu was hung on the river beach.
The horizontal and vertical were basking in the sun, and Yan Yu was also bored, so he took some white mud and pinched an ugly puppet.
Xie Changchun came over at some point and asked Yan Yu, "You also have a child, right?" ”
Yan Yu shook his head and smiled, but he remembered that more than two months had passed, and everyone thought he was dead, maybe Lin Xiaoyu should be with Qin Zhong.
Qin Zhong is a good man, he is also sincere to Lin Xiaoyu, and he also loves children, so life should be good.
After waiting on the river beach for more than an hour, the villagers finally came back and came back happily!
The couple dragged the child and walked up to Yan Yu, crying and thanking him, almost not kneeling down for Yan Yu.
The child's face was panicked, he was scolded by his parents, and the villagers were also complaining, so Yan Yu said to the couple: "It's good to get it back, education is a good thing, don't beat and scold him, the child has a grudge when he is a child, and he will remember it when he grows up." ”
The child is really as his parents said, he is tiger-headed, but he has beaten Yan Yu with a slingshot, and it is also common for children to be beaten and scolded, but Yan Yu said good things for him, and his eyes were a little bright.
Of course, the couple agreed, but the woman cried again while holding the child, and the villagers saw it, and their noses were sour.
After a long time, I had to invite Yan Yu to eat at home.
Yan Yu stubbornly came down the mountain, he was already tired, and he didn't want to show his face, so he asked Xie Changchun to help him back to the mountain.
The couple persuaded and begged, and Yan Yuben also wanted to go to the village to join in the fun, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, and he felt that he was being stared at.
Although I returned to the mountains, the feeling was even stronger.
