"If you don't go up the mountain, how can you get enough to eat by mending your shoes?" Sister Yang sighed: "Old man Lai's son is not angry, he drank to death, and when he was alive, he beat his wife and son, and his wife had already run away." Old man Lai's grandson occasionally sent money back, and old man Lai saved the money and said that he wanted to use it for his grandson to marry his daughter-in-law. I told him that young people don't need to worry about him in the city, and that they can spend their money while they can't breathe. Guess how he answered me? It was said that there were some flowers in the village, and when I heard it, wasn't that the reason......"

"And does his grandson come back often?"

"I haven't been back for some years, and it seems like five or six years since I came back last time...... Ah, you don't make a fire, and your fire is getting smaller and smaller. ”

Speaking of this, Sister Yang went around to the back of the stove, took two sticks of firewood and threw them into the fire pit, and fiddled with them twice, and the stove was a lot bigger.

"That's how the fire burns."

The topic is broken, and the statement is not good, so I will pull it back immediately, so as not to make Sister Yang suspicious.

After chatting casually for a few more words, Qiu Qian stood up and whispered something to Sister Yang.

"Toilets? In the back, go through there, but the lights are broken, the wires are burned, you can get a flashlight......"

Only after a while, Qiu Qian came back and whispered a few words to Xia Yun, and the two went over again.

After a while, the two of them came back again, pulled the statement and asked, "Would you like to come over for a while?" ”

Statement stood up and followed them down a dark passageway, greeted by a foul smell.

When I turned on the flashlight, I saw that it was a pigsty with three big pigs, covered in dirt, arching the railing.

Qiu Qian was frightened, took a step back, hit a pile of firewood, and shouted softly.

The trio walked around the pigsty and saw a ...... Miserable thatched huts.

"Do you use it?"

"Hmm." Qiu Qian nodded and asked softly, "Are you standing here waiting for us?" ”

"Oh."

"That...... Flashlight to Yun Yun. ”

The statement handed out the flashlight, turned on the mobile phone to illuminate it, Xia Yun and Qiu Qian took a few steps forward, and Xia Yun stopped where he could see the statement.

Probably, the statement was given to Xia Yun to strengthen his courage, and Xia Yun stood in the middle to illuminate Qiu Qian......

After a while, Qiu Qian came out and replaced Xia Yun.

In the pitch darkness, three pigs cooed. Stating that the phone flickered, and saw a mouse running by.

He didn't say anything, lest Xia Yun fall in.

After a while, two women cautiously came out holding hands.

"Good...... Okay......"

When they returned to the hall, they were probably frightened, and their faces were a little red.

Sister Yang shook her head, secretly thinking that the people in the city were squeamish. You have to go to the toilet together.

The statement was to look at the mobile phone and ask, "Sister Yang, is there no signal here?" ”

"The signal is not good, I have to go to the balcony to call......"

In addition, Sister Yang didn't say nonsense, her cooking was really unpalatable.

Qiu Qian and Xia Yun only took two bites of rice to show that they were full, and Sister Yang put their two bowls of leftover rice in one bowl and received them aside.

After eating, I can finally go to the old man Lai.

Old man Lai lives at the end of the village, with several mountains at his back, and this place feels like a mountain after a mountain.

When they arrived at the door of Old Man Lai's house, they saw a group of people gathered in Old Man Lai's hall.

Sister Yang rushed up and asked, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? ”

"Old man Lai fell down on the mountain and broke his leg......"

The statement walked into the earthen house and looked through the crowd, and saw an old man lying on a bamboo mat, it seemed that the person was not in danger of life, but the swarthy and thin calves were frighteningly swollen.

This is the frog's grandfather.

The statement turned to look at the house again, and saw an old photograph on the stove, in a tattered frame. The photo shows a young man of sixteen or seventeen, who seems to be a frog.

The people in the village didn't mind the casual look at the house, and the statement turned around again, there was only one room on the first floor, and it was obviously lived by the old man himself.

He then went to the second floor and looked again, and found that the room was empty, and found no sign that the frog had returned.

Just as he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly heard a man on the balcony talking in broken Mandarin, so he listened intently for a while.

"Hey, Dali, can you contact Shunchang? His phone was turned off. ”

The statement immediately understood that this "Shunchang" was the frog's real name.

Lai Shunchang.

"I'll find out what he can do, his grandfather broke his leg in the mountains, if you can contact him, let him come back quickly...... Severe? Of course, it's serious, and I won't be able to leave in the future......"

After a while, the man made another call.

"Hey, can you get in touch with Shunchang......"

After listening for a while, the man was about to come down after making a phone call, and he walked downstairs in advance, and saw a local doctor treating Old Man Lai, and was talking to Old Man Lai in local dialect.

The statement asked Sister Yang, "What did he say?" ”

"He said that he didn't have some medicine, and he wanted to find a doctor in the town, but the old man Lai refused to spend the money, saying that it would be good to raise it for a few days......

Sister Yang said, listened for a while, and said, "The doctor said again, if you don't get treated, you won't be able to walk in the future...... Old man Lai said don't coax him, he just won't be cured anyway. ”

The statement thought for a while and said: "It's better to do this, our newspaper is doing a report, about the left-behind elderly, if the old man is willing to accept our report, our newspaper will reimburse him for this medical expenses...... Editor-in-Chief Qiu, what do you think? ”

Qiu Qian deliberately pretended to think about it, looking a little embarrassed, and finally nodded and said, "It's okay, but you have to interview your children who are going out." ”

Sister Yang responded: "Then why don't you interview me?" ”

Statement: "......"

Xia Yun hurriedly said: "Sister Yang, that's the case, our interview has actually been done, and the statement is to see the old man like this, so I begged Editor-in-Chief Qiu to add another case." Sister Yang, you see, you didn't fall either, did you? ”

"That's right."

Qiu Qian emphasized: "It's okay to reimburse the consultation fee, but this report needs to be in-depth, and it needs to be interviewed with the grandson of the old man." ”

Sister Yang nodded and turned to talk to Old Man Lai.

The two talked for a while before Sister Yang said, "Old man Lai said yes, but he was afraid that he had nothing to say." ”

"It's okay, let's get someone to find a doctor to treat the injury. We'll start the interview when he's better. Qiu Qian said, turned her head, and nodded with the statement very tacitly.

~~

In the afternoon, under the pretext of going up the mountain to take pictures, the three of them walked up the mountain road for a short time, and found a place with a good line of sight and a place where they could see the way into the village and sat down. While looking at the mountain road, we discussed.

"I think there's still a chance that the frog will come back." "He probably thought that the criminal investigation hadn't found him so quickly, and that the village was in the middle of nowhere, and it was a good place to avoid the limelight." ”

"I think so too." Xia Yun nodded in agreement, "Even if he wants to run away, he should come to pick up his grandfather first." ”

Qiu Qian stroked her hair that was blown by the mountain wind, looked at the statement, and said with a smile: "I originally had no hope of finding these 30 million, but now it seems that there is still a chance." ”

"If you think so, you won't leave for the next two days."

"Well, we're here to wait for ......"
