After making the call, Deputy Director Kang happened to come to the door of the branch.

When they met, they said, "Teacher Xing, don't worry, wait for the jeep in the institute to come back from the cottage and give you a ride." ”

Xing Yi was embarrassed: "That's not good." ”

Deputy Director Kang said: "The township is not far from Shangyan, it's fine." Besides, it was our people who went to pick you up, so it stands to reason that you should be sent back. ”

"Thank you then."

"Let's go, it's time for dinner, let's go have a light meal together."

"I'm not hungry yet."

"Let's go, you and I are fateful today......

stepped forward and stretched out his hand, Xing Yi no longer refused, and the two came to a small restaurant called "Mountain People".

Xing Yi saw the person pushing the motorcycle just now, fried a rice and put it in a cloth bag, went out and hung it on the handlebars, and pushed it away.

Xing Yi said: "The motorcycle probably ran out of gas. ”

Deputy Director Kang said: "It should be, he has to walk two kilometers to go to the gas station." ”

The restaurant owner set up the dishes and chopsticks for them, and accosted: "I'm not a local, I've been here for three days, and I just said that I would leave with gas." ”

Director Kang asked, "What kind of treasure does a big iron box contain?" ”

The restaurateur said, "What a baby, just a few stones." ”

"Stones? Engaged in exploration? ”

"No, I heard him ask some of the older people in the local area, where are the ditches and beaches around here, and what he is looking for are colored and shaped stones that have been soaked and washed by the water."

"That's a strange stone," Xing Yi said, "on the side of the ditch and on the river beach, it has been washed by water for tens of thousands of years, forming stones of various shapes and textures. ”

Director Kang said: "Oh, I know, rich people play, the new industry that has emerged in the past few years, and rich people can afford to play." He's in the wrong place, where will we be on our side? ”

"Yes," Xing Yi said, "This outsider came to our Jinxiu County to look for strange stones, which means that he has specially studied the geological characteristics of our Jinxiu County, as long as there are places that have undergone hundreds of thousands of years of changes, there are such stones." ”

The chef called from behind, and the restaurateur ran to bring out the stir-fried food, set it up, and asked, "Would you like some wine, director?" ”

Kang Enpei said: "Give some to the teacher, I won't accompany you because I am on the job." ”

Xing Yi said: "No, I have to go today." ”

While eating, I saw the retired motorcycle running back, and it turned out that his eyes were down, and it was still hanging on the back of the chair.

The restaurant owner apologized and said, "I didn't pay attention to it, I didn't send it in time, I'm really sorry to let you run." ”

He put his glasses on, his gaze scanned from behind the lenses, Xing Yi quickly lowered his head, not letting him see his face clearly.

When he's gone,

Xing Yi asked the restaurant owner, "Do you know his name?" ”

The restaurant owner thought for a while: "It seems that the surname is Huang or Hong ......"

Xing Yi said: "If the surname is Hong, that's him." ”

Deputy Director Kang said: "Do you know him? ”

Xing Yi said: "I've heard that I was originally engaged in geology, and then I went to the sea and played with strange stones. ”

Because he was worried that Deputy Director Kang would ask and it would be inconvenient to say more about Qishi, Xing Yi took the initiative to change the conversation and asked about the phone call from Wei Zhenghai of the Guangming Hotel.

Kang Enpei said: "Yes, Brother Zhenghai and I are cousins. ”

Xing Yi said: "He called you that day, and I was there at the time." ”

"That day I was busy with a case, he called me to report the case, that day I had a case to handle, a family member and children were lost, I was busy to help find it, so I called the Chengguan Office and asked them to help."

"There are also children lost here? What happened later, did you find it? ”

"I found it, he followed his grandmother to the field, and his grandmother picked the vegetables and went home directly, forgetting him."

Xing Yi said about Zhao Jiayan's child.

Xing Yi said: "I saw a missing person notice at the county station. It's a child, his home is in a village called Zhao Jiayan, it's not too far from here. ”

"It belongs to Machangpo Township, far away, we are in the southeast of the county, and they are in the northwest, more than 70 kilometers apart."

"That means the case is not under your jurisdiction?"

"It's not under our jurisdiction, but the day after tomorrow there will be a meeting of the director, and when the time comes, Director Yan Lixin will definitely come over, I can ask him, he should know, maybe the case has been filed."

"That's good, please write back to me after asking."

"Is it your relative?"

"What do you mean? Anyway, you'll have to ask. ”

"Okay."

After eating, Xing Yi returned to the office with Deputy Director Kang to wait for the bus.

The two policemen had just arrived, and reported that the subject of their investigation had gone to Ma'anshan, and whether they should follow immediately.

Deputy Director Kang looked back at Xing Yi and was in a dilemma for a while.

Xing Yi was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a road leading to Ma'anshan here?" ”

Deputy Director Kang said, "Yes, wow. ”

"How far is that?"

"Thirty-two kilometers."

"Is it Ma'anshan in Maoliba Township?"

"Yes, you have relatives?"

"My parents live there, and I've wanted to see them for a long time."

"Then adjust your plans?"

"Needless to say? I'll just thank you in advance. ”

Xing Yi took the jeep in the institute and rushed towards Ma'anshan.

What is the current situation in Ma'anshan, he doesn't know that he has no impression in his memory, whether he has been here or not, whether he came with his parents or later, he can't remember it at all.

He only remembers that when his parents left the county, he was thirteen years old, graduated from the sixth grade of primary school, and had just taken the junior high school entrance exam.

His mother took him to live in the city, and his mother was preoccupied with two things, but her main focus was on her son and grandson...... After her grandson took the college entrance examination, she hurried to Ma'anshan......

With the help of the villagers, Xing Yi found his home very smoothly, which were two low thatched huts, and when he entered, he needed to hook his head, and accidentally pushed the roof, and when he was shaken, some blades of grass fell down.

Mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, doing a handicraft. Hearing him call out to his mother, his mother was taken aback and her hand was pricked with a needle.

He walked quickly, squatted in front of his mother, grabbed his mother's hand, saw a bead of blood, and quickly sucked it with his mouth.

I thought that on the day I came back, I would always visit my parents, but because of this and that, I delayed and tossed it, and it was delayed until today.

Thinking of his behavior, his heart was so uncomfortable, he squatted beside his mother, supported his mother with both hands, one knee touched the ground first, and then the other followed, without letting his mother find out that he was kneeling, and silently persisted for a long time.

When the mother saw her son coming, her eyes suddenly became moist, and such a big person squatted in front of her, and the mother's fingers were on her son's mouth, and she felt the heat in her son's mouth.

The mother bit her lip, raised her other hand, put it on her son's head, and gently stroked his hair, which was thick and piercing, and the mother's heart was drunk.

He put down his mother's hand, took the handiwork inside the dustpan and saw that it was a pair of white wool-soled cloth shoes.

The mother said, "Son, this is for you." It's going to be done today. ”
