As soon as the old village chief said this, everyone's faces changed.

Zhang Ergou had been holding back his sad emotions, but at this moment, he directly turned into anger, he stepped on the stone chips on the ground, his eyes were almost spewing flames, and he clenched his teeth and asked, "Village Chief, what do you mean by this?" What happened to this family? ”

The old village chief sat down on the stone next to the gate of Zhang Dahe, tapped his knee a few times with his hand, sighed and said, "God is not long-sighted, and he is specially playing tricks on us poor people!" Thirty years ago, Zhang Dahe had a six- or seven-year-old child, who seemed to be that age, and when the couple went to the field, a stranger entered the village to sell sugar gourds.

Where can we buy the sugar gourd casually, but the man is very generous and polite, who can't afford it, so he picks one and gives it to the child.

He talked funny, wandered around the village, and the children sang along with him in order to beg for sugar gourds that didn't need money! The villagers were a little concerned at first, but later found that the sugar gourd seller was not doing anything to the children, and it was in their own village, so they relaxed their vigilance......

The children in the countryside were raised free-range, and they didn't see anyone how.

When the sun went down that day, the villagers came back and found that something was wrong, and there were a few fewer children who were messing around in the village when it was dark on weekdays! Ask a few older children to find out that the missing child followed the candy gourd seller to 'pick' the sugar gourd......

All of us were half cold, and hurriedly went out of the village to look for it, and found an older child who had fallen to his death in a pile of stones on the edge of the Yellow River, and all the other children had disappeared. The official sent us out, saying that it is normal for wild children to run for a few days without seeing anyone, let's not report to the official casually, lest a bunch of things cannot be done......"

Chen did not speak.

Zhang Ergou's hands were trembling, and he held back the tears in his eyes and asked, "That...... This family. ”

The old village chief took a look at the miserable white couplet on Zhang Dahemen, which had been so rotten for many years that it was almost rotten and only had an outline left, sighed and said quietly: "Zhang Dahe and his wife only gave birth to a son, and they took a cheap name Zhang Ergou, hoping to feed better, and provide good food and drink on weekdays, and they are afraid of freezing in the cold weather, and they are afraid of heat in summer.

Zhang Ergou disappeared with the group of children, Zhang Dahe and Li Anu and his wife went crazy and searched along the Yellow River, and only came back after seven days and seven nights, Zhang Dahe was only in his twenties, and his hair was already gray, and Li Anu lost his soul! The folks, we are all very sad......

Who knew that a few days later, Li A-Nu was gone.

Zhang Dahe went out to look for it, and found Li A-Nu in the Yellow River, I don't know whether to say that her life is big or bad, I guess Li A-Nu should miss the child, and jumped into the river in sadness, fell into the water and was swept away by the river and fainted......

Li Anu poured a stomach full of Yellow River water, Zhang Dahe pressed out the water, and after having a breath, he was sent to the doctor in the county for treatment, the distance was far away, and the money was not enough, the doctor said that he could not help.

Zhang Dahe hugged Li A-Nu and cried in the alleys of the county seat, and was driven away by the officials who patrolled at night, so he had to go out of the city, and when he passed through a mass grave, Li A-Nu woke up, but people were also crazy, crying and laughing, Feng Fei said that his son was not dead, just playing outside, waiting for her to look for it!

Zhang Dahe took her back to the village, and Li A-Nu ran out at two ends in three days, deep in the mountains and old forests, where the danger was! The people in the village persuaded Zhang Dahe to tie Li Anu to the house with a rope, but he was reluctant. The most serious time, Li A-Nu ran away again, Zhang Dahe searched for three days and three nights, and found his wife who was stuck in a crack in a stone and was dying of hunger in a deep mountain!

Since then, he has always taken Li A-Nu by his side, and connected the wrists of the two with the two ends of a rope, and they have always been together in the cold winter and heat......"

Chen was initially silent.

Du Siniang wept.

Zhang Ergou couldn't bear the pain for a long time, when he was refined into an altar by the bat mage, he was tortured by drugs all the time, he thought that he was the most painful person in the world, and his father and mother might have long forgotten that there was such a son.

The old village chief didn't know why this wine seller was so excited.

Probably temperamental.

Zhang Ergou said with tears in his eyes: "Village chief, take me to the field to see the two of them......

The old village chief hesitated a little, he looked at the three people repeatedly, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, the road to the field is not easy, I'm afraid it will dirty your shoes and pants." ”

The man, the little girl, and the merchant could almost certainly be sure that they were not sent by the official to investigate them, after all...... No matter how much the official mission is, he will never shed a tear for them.

The three of them followed the old village chief to the other side of the village, into the mountains, and walked more than two miles of mountain roads.

I saw villagers waving hoes in the mountains in the distance, wearing straw hats in the scorching sun, their skin was tanned, and their thin bodies seemed to be broken at any time.

The old village chief is very old, walking two miles down the mountain road with crutches, but he is only slightly breathing, he sees that in addition to the Taoist priest, the little girl and the businessman are too tired, and he can't help but quip: "People in the county town don't often walk the mountain road, it's normal to be tired, unlike my old bones who have walked the mountain road all my life......"

Turning around in the fields, the villagers saw the arrival of the village chief, raised their hands to say hello, and continued to do farm work.

The old village chief covered the sun on his face with his hand, and pointed to the two figures in the distance with the other hand and said, "There, that is Zhang Dahe and his wife......"

Chen Qiqi looked in the direction pointed by the old village chief, and in the heaven and earth on the other side of the mountain, there was an old man in his fifties facing the loess with his back to the sky, cutting something with a sickle. On the old man's right hand was a rope tied to a fifty-year-old woman, who was holding a one-meter-tall straw figure in her hand.

Zhang Ergou cried.

This is the father and mother he misses all the time.

More than 30 years!

The memory of a seven-year-old child has long blurred the face of his father, and he can't remember to think about it, but he sees his father and mother again at this moment.

He felt his head dizzy, his legs were weak and he could barely stand, he reached out to hold on to the tree trunk next to him, and a hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat: "I...... Let's go over and see ......."

The old village chief walked ahead.

Chen Qiqi walked behind.

Du Siniang could feel Zhang Ergou's sad emotions, and she asked in a low voice, "Wait a minute, do you want to recognize them?" ”

Zhang Ergou felt a pain in his heart, Du Siniang's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said, "I'll take a look...... Just take a look. ”

Chen Chu heard it clearly, he already knew what Zhang Ergou would choose, although the body props could change his appearance, but the big wine jar couldn't change it! If the matter of being captured by the bat mage and refining into a person in the altar is exposed......
