Chapter 194: The Man Who Disappeared
Before I could speak, Tan Zhe asked me first, "Did you hear someone crying?"
I nodded and asked him, "How are you?" Feeling better? ”
Tan Zhe was just about to speak, when I suddenly heard a sound on the wooden door downstairs, "Shhh
Someone downstairs seemed to be walking on tiptoe, and the voice was very soft, so I motioned for Tan Zhe to stay in the room and not move, and quietly opened a crack in the door.
The door of the Mu family has been in disrepair for a long time, and even if I move gently, the wooden door hinge still makes a short "squeak-"
The footsteps downstairs immediately stopped, and I was too frightened to act rashly again, for fear of alarming the people downstairs.
There was a stalemate for a while, and the footsteps outside began to sound again. I stood on my stomach through the crack in the door, not daring to move.
"Wow, oh, oh", the voice got closer and closer, more and more clear, about a dozen more sounds, a figure with his back to me opened the door of the opposite room, and a childish voice floated out of the room: "Mom, I'm hungry."
Early the next morning, we saw that Mu's mother's eyes were a little swollen, and Liu Yanyan asked heartlessly, "Auntie, what's wrong with your eyes." It's swollen like a peach. ”
Mu's mother was stunned, touched her eyes unconsciously, and said with a smile: "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
Liu Yanyan asked Kang Kang again and mentioned whether he wanted to ask him to go downstairs for dinner. Mu's mother's face was a little abnormal, she waved her hand and turned her head and said, "No need, he hasn't woken up yet."
After breakfast, Mu Tongtong said that several uncles and uncles came to the house. The leader was Uncle Mu, who nodded and said hello to Mu's mother, and led the three old men to sit in the middle of the living room, smoking cigarette bags and pots.
Mu's mother poured tea for the four of them and asked, "What's the matter with the elders coming to our house?"
Uncle Mu knocked the cigarette pouch pot in his hand on the corner of the table, looked up at me, and looked at me with a worried face: "Why don't you guys leave?"
Mu's mother carefully explained: "A few of them originally came to play, but unfortunately they were injured, so they lived here to recuperate."
Uncle Mu didn't bother with us, his eyes glanced over us and fell on Mu's mother: "Let's talk about some serious things in the village, so that irrelevant people can avoid it."
The smile on Mu's mother's face froze, and she quickly turned back to us and said, "Tong Tong, you can take a few of them out for a walk." At the end, she added: "Take Kang Kang out too."
Mu Tongtong seemed to feel a little nervous about the situation, but she didn't say anything, just nodded lightly and went upstairs.
It didn't take long for Mu Tongtong to carry Kang Kang downstairs, Kang Kang was wrapped in a thin sheet by her, his eyes were closed, and his brows were frowning, as if he was having a nightmare.
I wanted to take Kang Kang from him, but I didn't expect Mu Tongtong to politely avoid it: "I'll just hold it."
One of the old men in the living room urged us to leave quickly in dialect, and I unconsciously looked up at the roof, and finally led Zhao Fengkite and Liu Yanyan without saying a word, and went out with Mu Tongtong.
After breakfast, Tan Zhe went upstairs to rest because of his injuries. I thought about asking Liu Yanyan to call him down, but I was a little worried about his injury.
Tan Zhe's injury is not left by an ordinary hornet, Mu Tongtong's mother and daughter have a lot of doubts after seeing it, a cunning accident like Uncle Mu, what kind of branches will arise after seeing Tan Zhe's injury?
Just let him stay upstairs. It's just that I don't understand, why does Mu Tongtong have to pretend to be deaf and dumb?
Mu Tongtong led us around the village and outside the village, we asked her about the customs of the village, she seemed to be a little absent-minded, the introduction was very brief, we wanted to ask, but she showed a lack of interest.
Kang Kang never woke up, he lay quietly on Mu Tongtong's back, if it wasn't for the occasional movement of his arm, we would even think that the child would have stopped breathing.
After about an hour, Mu Tongtong was tired enough, but Mu's mother never came out to look for us. Mu Tongtong proposed to go back.
The door of Mu Tongtong's house was open, but the house was quiet. Mu Tongtong put Kang Kang in the kitchen, and then began to look for Mu's mother like crazy.
She called several times in the yard, searched upstairs and downstairs, and also searched around the house, but there was no trace of Mu's mother at all.
And, to our horrors; Tan Zhe is also gone!
In broad daylight, where can two big living people go?
The answer is self-evident, the two of them must have been taken away by Uncle Mu! It's just that Uncle Mu can't get along with Tan Zhe, so why does even Mu's mother have to be arrested? Mu's mother is a person from the village!
Or did Mother Mu betray Tan Zhe, and she and Uncle Mu arrested Tan Zhe together?
I seem to have a mess in my head that I can't figure out. Zhao Fengqi blushed with a face and didn't say a word.
I forcibly suppressed the suspicion in my heart, and when I faced Mu Tongtong, I asked her in as calm a tone as possible: "Where is Uncle Mu's house?"
Mu Tongtong was a little incredulous: "You mean that Uncle Mu took away his mother and Brother Tan Zhe?" There's no reason for that! ”
Zhao Fengzheng walked over and said with a cold face: "You just need to tell us where the old man's house is, you don't have to worry about anything else!"
Mu Tongtong was shocked by the murderous aura emanating from Zhao Fengkite's body, she took a step back, quickly calmed down again, looked at us, and said, "When I settle down first, I'll take you there!"
Mu Tongtong carried Kang Kang back to the room and put him upstairs, Liu Yanyan was a little worried: "Is it really okay for us to leave him alone at home?" Moreover, this kid seems to be too ...... Loved sleeping. ”
Mu Tongtong's eyes were full of love when he looked at Kangkang, like a mother looking at the child under Chenghuan's knees: "Our Kangkang is a little pig."
Uncle Mu's house is not very far away, but the door of his house is closed, as if there is no one.
Zhao Fengkite released a red paper figure and went in to search. It didn't take long for the little red paper figure to stumble out.
Zhao Fengkite asked it, "Didn't find anyone?"
The little red paper figure was panting, and his head shook like a rattle.
Zhao Fengzheng couldn't help but start to re-examine Uncle Mu's house. Although my skills are not as good as his, I can slowly see some doorways: "This place seems to be blessed by Taoism, and it seems to be a place where cultivators live......"
Zhao Fengkite nodded: "It seems that this Uncle Mu is not an ordinary rural villager!"
