Chapter 178: Great Responsibility
Lijia Village can really be said to be a village in the mountains, not to mention the remoteness, the peaks on both sides are enough to have some elevation, the village has fifty or sixty families, and the population has been maintained at two or three hundred.
The village is surnamed Li, so it is called Lijia Village, and there is a reservoir nearby, which can also allow the villagers to grow food with confidence.
However, there should be a mine nearby, resulting in a large number of minerals in the soil, few crops that can survive, and there are no roads, and the location is relatively remote, so gradually many people choose to go out to work instead of farming in the village.
Of course, all of this was told to us by Aunt Li when she was chatting with us on the road, and when she talked about this, she was still a little helpless!
"Meihua is back, I haven't seen you go home for a long time!" We walked through the mountain bag, and when we walked down, we met an old man with a straw hat, and he greeted Aunt Li warmly when he saw Aunt Li in front of him.
That's when I found out that my aunt's full name is Li Meihua!
"Yes, Uncle Li, Aunt Li is okay, I'll go see you!" Aunt Li also hurriedly responded, the people in the same village are more or less related, and there are a lot of uncles and aunts.
"Is there a whereabouts of your brother's child? I don't know what is going on with his family!" Uncle Li said to Aunt Li with the smelly crop fertilizer on his shoulder, and walked a few steps closer.
"No, but I'm here to see if there's anything I can do to help!" Aunt Li replied briefly, then apologized to the old man, and led a few of us to her brother's house.
If I want to say who is the patron saint of the village, I will first say that it is a local dog, and we have not walked much before we hear the dogs in the village barking one after another.
When I walked to a red brick house in the east of the village, the earth dog gathered outside the door for a few days to look very scary, and looked at us and barked, and it was strange that the earth dog barked at me and Lao Bai, the two big men, and ignored Xiaoyu, and even some went up to wag their tails and beg for pets.
"Get out of here, I'm upset when I hear it...... Hey, sister, why did you come back suddenly, you didn't call me or anything, I'm going to meet you!" A man with a stick came out of the house, and after driving away the earth dog, he noticed Aunt Li and said with some complaints.
"Is Sister still polite?Is Sister the one who cares about those details?" Aunt Li also retorted, and led us into the house unceremoniously.
"Has the little stone been found? There is still no news, is it!" Aunt Li regarded herself as the master, and after beckoning us to sit down, she hurriedly asked her brother for details.
"No, I also called the police station just now, and they said that because the location in the village is too far away and the conditions are backward, it is a bit difficult to rely on the police to find it, so let's not get our hopes up. Li Youcai, who came in later, poured us a glass of water, and then said helplessly.
A few years ago, when surveillance cameras were not common, the common people went to the police, and they could still get things done, but now they are actually like such birds! Obviously, there are very few diligent people now, and everyone thinks of being lazy, and they don't do their best to do things for the people, and they all want to get rid of their responsibilities. ”
After listening to what her brother said, Aunt Li immediately became angry, and she criticized the current police if she didn't care.
But after a few complaints, she began to feel sad again, and the tears came down.
I didn't tell Aunt Li that Lao Bai was the police chief, I just said that he was a friend of mine. When I listened to what Aunt Li said, I subconsciously went to see Lao Bai's reaction, and found that he looked very guilty and felt that he had not done a good job.
"But my sister brought you back a master this time, last time that half-immortal said that he wanted to find someone with high mana, I told you that Master Yu will be able to help you find the child. Aunt Li wiped her eyes, and before I could react, she brought me a "master" hat, which immediately made me speechless, if things are messed up, it won't be Chi Guoguo's slap in the face!
"Sister, is what you said true? Then dare to be kind, Master Yu, thank you for your hard work to come over, let you see the smile, there is nothing to entertain the master and your friends when it comes to the meal! I really can't go, don't be sad, don't be sad, hurry out and cook, sister helped us invite a master, maybe the little stone can be found!" Because of Aunt Li's blow to me, Li Youcai simply regarded me as a savior, and his eyes were full of hope for me, which made me a little scared.
He hurriedly shouted inside, signaling his wife to come out and cook.
"You can do it, master, I beg you to help us find the little stone, I can give you anything, as long as you find my child. Suddenly, a woman who was a little excited knelt directly in front of me, and pleaded with me vigorously, crying, which made people unable to help but be moved.
It seems that Aunt Li is right, the loss of the child is the biggest blow to her mother, as a woman, she has begun to pay less attention to her own image, so it can be seen that everything else is not important except for the child now.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly, the younger generation can't stand such a big gift from you! I have promised Aunt Li that I will try my best to find your child's affairs, and you don't have to worry too much," I quickly helped her up with some trepidation, she was more than ten years older than me, let her kneel like this, I may have to lose my life!
"Don't be embarrassed in front of the master, hurry up and get a few dishes, I want to have a few drinks with the master, and then discuss the matter of the child!" Li Youcai glared at his wife fiercely, feeling a little embarrassed like this, so he motioned for her to hurry up and go to the kitchen to stir-fry.
In the evening, we had dinner in the yard, which was quite good, with chickens and fish, and some home-grown green vegetables, it seemed that Aunt Li and his brother had the best treatment to entertain us.
We all have wine glasses in front of us, but the wine is made by ourselves, and the taste is particularly mellow, but it is also easy to catch.
"Master Yu, please ask you to find my little stone, I'll do it first as a respect, you can just do it as you like!" The crop man is so refreshing, a glass full of white wine was swallowed by him, and I have a headache when I look at it.
"Ahem, I really can't drink that much!" I smiled awkwardly, just took a sip of the meaning, and didn't drink much.
