The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and I was a little panicked, and the person who caught up shouted, wait!

I didn't hear the sound like Baye's, and I was really tired, and when I slowed down, I was caught up by someone behind me.

"What are you running?" After the man caught up, he said.

Under the moonlight, I could vaguely see that this man was the man who had just scolded Baye.

What is he chasing me for? I asked myself again.

I asked him, what are you chasing me for?

He didn't answer my words, but asked me if I had any cigarettes?

I spend most of my time in the gallery, in places where everything is flammable, and I don't have a habit of smoking.

Seeing me shake his head, he looked annoyed and said that he had saved me in vain just now.

Save me?

He looked at me with a blank look, and he said, "Aren't you being held hostage by that Nanyang man?"

This person is not simple, he can actually see that I was held hostage by Baye, but I also doubt his identity, and I am afraid that I have just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth.

He must have seen my panic and said to me, "I have no ill intentions, I am from the Ninth Criminal Investigation Division..."

Criminal Investigation Division No. 9?

In other words, he is from the public security criminal investigation team?

However, when he heard me call him Comrade Policeman, he was stunned for a moment and asked me if I didn't know what the Ninth Criminal Investigation Division was.

I said, I know, it's the police. When I was in Yuncheng, I also assisted a police officer Li to help with the case.

After listening to me, he put a far-fetched smile on his face, and finally shook his head silently.

I asked him what was wrong, and he said nothing.

At this time, his mobile phone rang, and after picking it up, his brows tightened, obviously the news from the phone was serious.

He said to me with an anxious face: "I can't control it over there, you go forward, get off the highway, there is a small town there, go quickly!" ”

After saying that, he rushed in the direction of the service area.

I guessed some of what he said, I couldn't control it, but I didn't dare to explore it, and kept running!

When I finally saw the exit of the highway, I was very tired. However, reason told me that I couldn't stop, and it wasn't a safe place yet.

My feet were like lead, and I finally got to the town. I found a hotel and washed a box of instant noodles to deal with it for one night.

As soon as it was dawn in the morning, I got on the town bus as the waiter said.

I don't dare to go back to Yuncheng, Baye will definitely look for me. Now my only choice is to go back to my hometown and hide in my grandfather's place for a few days.

After driving for hours on the winding mountain road, I got off the bus at the entrance of the village, carrying a few bottles of good wine for my grandfather and some health products for my grandmother, and prepared to run home.

Under the big tree of the village committee, I saw my grandfather enjoying the cool under the tree.

I called my grandfather, and when he saw me, I thought I could come to my brother to meet again after a long absence.

As a result, he took off his shoes and hit me!

I was still scolded for being unproductive, I was beaten, and the old man and old lady who enjoyed the cool under the big tree together judged me like watching a play.

The fear of days was not comforted by my relatives, and I collapsed in an instant, and there were more than 20 people, who were stunned and cried by my grandfather.

Grandpa probably saw me crying, so he didn't hit me anymore and told me to take my things home with my things.

I was also very aggrieved in my heart, usually my grandfather was very strict with me, but I never wanted to be the same as now, and beat me up before I could say anything clear, I didn't know what I did wrong.

He didn't say it, and I didn't dare ask...

On the way home, my grandfather told me to wipe away my tears and not to tell my grandmother about the beating.

I feel very aggrieved in my heart, and I won't talk about being beaten, and I won't complain, it's simply hegemonism.

Grandpa, perhaps seeing that I was not happy, told me to allow me to stay at home for a few more days.

In normal times, my grandfather didn't let me close down casually, even if it was the New Year, he just gave me three days off, but now I can ignore the affairs of the gallery and stay in my hometown for a few more days.

And now, I am missing a reason to stay home for a few more days. I won't tell my grandmother about the beating.

When I got home, my grandmother was full of joy when she saw me coming home, saying that I had lost weight again, and gave me a table of my favorite dishes.

At the dinner table, my grandfather rarely asked me to have a drink with him.

After a few glasses of wine, half of the fatigue of these two days was swept away. But the thought that Valle's matter may not be over yet, my heart is still in a mess.

My grandmother asked me if I had something on my mind, why was I sad?

I squeezed out a smile and said it was okay, and my grandfather told me to hurry up and take a shower after eating, and the whole person stinked.

Grandma favored me and said a few words to grandpa.

Grandpa didn't seem to have much appetite, and after a few bites of food, he sat at the door and smoked a dry cigarette.

After eating, I went to take a shower and changed into the old clothes I used to leave at home. When I came out, I saw that my grandfather had lit a fire in the backyard and burned my changed clothes.

I told my grandfather that the clothes can still be worn after washing, what are they doing when they are burned?

Grandpa ignored me, but watched my clothes burn to ashes, and then told me that I should not go to my house for the past few days, because there are several families in the village who have vicious dogs.

Grandpa's tone was very serious, I didn't dare to disobey, and after nodding, he said to me again, and then he would settle accounts for me in a few days.

I listened to my grandfather and stayed at home obediently for two days. In the past two days, Zhang Qian contacted me and asked me if I had made a fortune, and I didn't open my door for business for the past two days. I said I was going back to my hometown to visit relatives, and I asked her if anyone had come to the store to look for me? She said no, she had been in the store for a few days, and no one came.

It seems that Baye did not go to the store to look for me, but my heart is even more unsettled, for fear that he will find a way to find me.

I was very depressed, and I couldn't stay at home. Today at noon, Grandpa was going to go to town, so I snuck out.

Our village is surrounded by mountains, the mountains are good, the water is good, the air is good, but the transportation is not convenient, and there are not necessarily any great changes in the past ten years.

Therefore, young people go to other places to work and do business, and those who stay here are basically the elderly and children.

After wandering around, I didn't see anyone my age, and when I was bored, I was ready to go home and forget it.

On the way home, a woman in her fifties came to me, looked at me for a long time, and asked me if I was from the old Wu family.

I also recognized the woman, I don't know what her full name is, but her peers call her Aunt Plum Blossom.

After recognizing Aunt Plum Blossom, I didn't really want to pay attention to her. She has three sons, who are about the same age as me, and when I was younger, my father has not been heard from since my mother died young. I was brought up by my grandparents, and her three sons often laughed at me for being a wild seed. I got into a fight with her son, and my brothers came to beat me, and I was an opponent, and I was often beaten.

She and her man are also horizontal, grandpa took me to the door to reason with them, and let dogs bite our grandchildren.

After so many years, I heard my grandmother say that her man went to the town to do business a few years ago and lost all his money, and he hanged himself in a fit of anger.

Several children married daughters-in-law and split up their families, but they all married daughters-in-law and forgot their mothers, and did not want to support her. When she was old, she couldn't work, and her sons asked her to apply for a subsistence household.

Although she is quite miserable now, but, looking back on the past, I really can't be enthusiastic about this plum blossom aunt.

Facing Aunt Plum Blossom's greetings, I felt a little embarrassed, so I wanted to find an excuse to slip away.

But she said she wanted me to go to her house and sit down.

I didn't want to go, so I found an excuse and politely declined.

When she saw that I was leaving, she told me that their family was very sorry for me.

I was also a little surprised and embarrassed to hear her suddenly apologize to me. I had to say, it's okay, it's okay...

Aunt Meihua said, you don't know, in fact, when my man was doing business in the town, he saw your father, and he also asked my man to bring things back, a few years have passed, this thing is in my house, I'm really sorry for you...

My dad?

In my memory, I never saw my father, and all I remember is the blurred photograph and a few calligraphy and paintings he left behind.

I once asked my grandparents, where the hell did my dad go?

Grandpa would always be angry and say that my dad was dead outside. I was so sad that I cried, and my grandmother would always hug and comfort me, scolding my grandfather for not dying in front of me and saying this...

And because my dad disappeared, I was ridiculed and called me a wild seed. At a young age, I suffered too many grievances, and my expectations for my father slowly turned into hatred, and now, my feelings for him have become blurred...

At this time, Aunt Meihua actually said that my father had asked them to bring me something. My dull heart instantly became warm.

I hurriedly asked her, why didn't my dad come back at that time? Where the hell has he been now? Does he know I'm waiting for him?

In the face of my series of questions, Aunt Plum Blossom seemed a little confused, and finally she told me that she didn't ask these questions at the time, and my father did leave something for me.

As for what it was, she said I'll understand when I see it.

My heart became eager, and maybe I would be able to find him if I saw what my dad gave me.
