Zhu Gennian and Tong Yuancui looked at the backs of those young people blankly, and didn't speak for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, they'll open the door when the time comes, right?" Cong Yan asked worriedly.

"Yes." Royasin replied.

"We have new clues." Shi Yuan said suddenly.

He took out his mobile phone and flipped through the list of "Memorabilia of Dark Crow Ridge Village" that he had filmed.

"Tong Yuancui's husband's surname is Zhu, I think, we can start with the name of the person surnamed Zhu and investigate. Let's look for it, if there is a surname Zhu, and the name of a person with the word Fu in his name. ”

Everyone took pictures of the list, so they took out their phones and started looking for it.

"Found it, call, Zhu Xiaofu." Xue Songgang said.

"Hmm." After scanning all the names, Shi Yuan confirmed that on this list, there was only such a name that met the criteria.

And Zhu Xiaofu's message is written like this: Zhu Xiaofu, male, 8 years old, student. Time of death: 15:27 on September 12, 1996, cause of death: poisoning.

"It's twenty years ago again......" Shi Yuan whispered to himself.

"Is this person Tong Yuancui's child?" Liu Tong said.

"If that's the case, could the thing we're looking for be the child's relics?" Royasen said.

"Relic? What will be a child's relics? Shi Yuan said, turned around and walked towards Tong Yuancui's house again.

"You ......" Looking at Shi Yuan and the others at the door, Tong Yuancui was stunned.

"Auntie, is Zhu Xiaofu your child?" Shi Yuan asked this question directly.

Tong Yuancui was like being struck by lightning, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was open, but she didn't say a word, but tears gradually overflowed in her eyes.

After a long time, she said with difficulty: "Why do you mention his name?" ”

"Can you tell us what kind of kid he is? For example, what is your personality? What are the features? What are your hobbies and specialties? ”

"What the hell are you going to do!" Tong Yuancui suddenly shouted with all her might, her eyes red, "You ask me if I have lost something, I can tell you." You said I'd open the door for you in the middle of the night, and I could promise you. But...... But...... Xiaofu is a pain in my heart. After all these years, why are you still talking about this? Do you understand the pain? Do you have to open the scar in my heart? You guys are so cruel! ”

"I'm sorry, Auntie, we just wanted to help you." Liu Tong said.

"Help me? Alright, then you guys hurry up! Walk! Tong Yuancui shouted hysterically, while stretching out her arm and pointing to the side.

"Yuancui! Forgot what I said to you? Zhu Gennian walked over quickly and said to Tong Yuancui sharply.

Tong Yuancui's face suddenly changed as if she had woken up from a dream, but Shi Yuan and the others did not wait.

"I still hope that at zero o'clock on the fourth, you can open the door for us." Luo Yasen also left with Shi Yuan after leaving such a sentence.

"I didn't ask anything...... Liu Tong said with some regret.

"yes." Shi Yuan said.

Twenty years ago, on September 6th.

"Let the teacher see, what did everyone draw?" The young Li Yanxia said softly to the children in front of her.

A group of seven or eight-year-old children happily held up their watercolor paintings and actively displayed their works.

"Well, this is the house, this is the fruit, this is the kitten...... Everyone drew very well! Li Yanxia looked at the children's paintings one by one, with a smile on her face all the time.

This is an after-school activity. Although it is only a village primary school, under the instruction of the principal, the teachers took the initiative to organize a wealth of extracurricular activities for the students, and Li Yanxia was in charge of the first and second grade art classes.

One by one, the children who had been inspected by Li Yanxia excitedly left with their drawings, and the noisy classroom became silent in a blink of an eye, leaving only the sound of the tip of the watercolor pen rubbing against the paper, and the sound sounded extremely uncomfortable.

"Zhu Xiaofu, haven't you finished painting yet?" Li Yanxia walked to Zhu Xiaofu's side, bent down and said softly.

Her eyes fell on a painting that Zhu Xiaofu was still painting.

"It's ...... What the? Li Yanxia's smile disappeared, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face.

Zhu Xiaofu didn't answer her, holding a red watercolor pen in his hand and continued to paint. Red kept coming from the tip of the pen, and it looked like the person in the painting was bleeding.

Li Yanxia's expression became serious, and there was even a faint hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

Zhu Xiaofu continued to draw as if no one was around, his hand tightly gripping the red pen, the tip of which moved quickly across the paper.

What is drawn on the paper is a person, a person who is missing a tiger tooth. His eyes were closed, his hands were crossed, and the ground on his body and feet was a shocking red blood. Behind him was a house with a black gate and a bunch of chili peppers hanging next to it.

Li Yanxia looked at it carefully, and she suddenly had a feeling.

The figure in the painting, although standing, seems to be ...... It's dead.

This strange feeling made Li Yanxia's heart jump and straighten up.

What's going on? Who is this person? No, no, the man in the painting......

Li Yanxia leaned in again and widened her eyes.

Although Zhu Xiaofu is still only an eight-year-old child, his paintings are extremely detailed and realistic, and through that person's face, it is like seeing a real face. The closed eyes and open mouth all showed the pain and struggle of that person. However, the most important point is......

The man had no hands......

The part that was supposed to be the hand is completely covered in red.

"Zhu Xiaofu......" Li Yanxia's voice even trembled a little, "Who is this person you painted?" ”

Zhu Xiaofu still ignored her and continued to paint.

Li Yanxia understands Zhu Xiaofu's personality. The child was always introverted and silent, and almost never spoke in the rest of the class. She asked a few words, but when she saw that Zhu Xiaofu didn't answer, she stopped asking.

She continued to look at the person in the painting, and she vaguely felt as if she had seen that person somewhere.

Missing a tiger tooth...... Could it be that Yang Xijun, the representative of the villagers? He is also a parent of a student, and he seems to have seen it a few days ago. This person, is that him?

"Zhu Xiaofu, the teacher asks you, why doesn't this person have hands? Did you forget to draw it? Or is this person wearing red gloves? Li Yanxia couldn't help but ask again.

Zhu Xiaofu didn't even look at her. Under the orange-yellow sunlight shining in from the window, Zhu Xiaofu's childish face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

The classroom fell silent again, except for the sound of pen tips.

After a few minutes, the only sound also stopped.

"His hands, in his belly." Zhu Xiaofu said suddenly.

"What did you say?" Li Yanxia's expression suddenly became frightened, and her eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Zhu Xiaofu did not repeat it. He put away his watercolor pen, left the drawing on the table, and left the classroom with his bag.

Li Yanxia watched in amazement as Zhu Xiaofu's back disappeared from view.

She picked up the painting and wanted to see every stroke.

Suddenly, she let out a scream and let go of her hands.

She finally understood what Zhu Xiaofu meant by what he said. (To be continued.) )
