Chapter 119: A Ruined Home
The next morning, when a bright ray of sunlight poured down from the sky, the entire wet earth was reflected in a golden luster.
At this time, a large truck was driving slowly on the wet mountain road.
The mountain road was muddy and smooth, with yellow sticky mud everywhere, and the trucks were driving with extra care.
The truck made its way up the winding and rugged dirt road.
Below the dirt road is a bottomless cliff, and if you are not careful, you will accidentally fall and be crushed to pieces.
After walking for some time, the truck finally got out of this treacherous dirt path and came to a halt in front of a remote village.
Opening the car door, Zhang Fan jumped directly from the car.
"Thank you, driver!"
Zhang Fan arched his hand to the truck driver to express his gratitude.
"Young men are all deserved, if there is such a good thing next time, remember to look for me!"
The driver of the big truck was a stout man with dark skin, a cap and a cigarette in his mouth, and he was smiling as he counted the thousand-dollar bills.
Bidding farewell to the truck driver, Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, money can make ghosts grind, and there is nothing that cannot be solved with money.
He just stopped a car on the side of the road, and after giving the other party a thousand yuan, the other party readily agreed to take him for a ride.
Zhang Fan's destination is not elsewhere, it is Chu Yu's hometown, Xiaoguanjia Village.
Zhang Fan looked at a stone tablet standing under the willow tree in front of him.
On the top of the stele are four large characters written in black ink, Xiaoguanjia Village!
Xiaoguanjia Village, the scale of this village seems to be very large, and there are many luxury cars parked around the entrance of the village.
Obviously, this small Guanjia Village is remote, and the location is dangerous and difficult to walk. But at the entrance of the village, there are still many luxury cars.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan's brows furrowed abruptly, he didn't expect that there would be so many luxury cars in such a remote mountain valley village, which really made him unexpected.
Among these luxury cars, there are BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and other types of luxury cars.
Zhang Fan doesn't know much about cars, and he doesn't know several cars.
At this time, on both sides of the entrance of Xiaoguanjia Village, there were many old people sitting.
These old men and women, all of whom looked to be over sixty years old, had gray hair, crossed their legs, and chatted and laughed with each other.
Zhang Fan couldn't understand the accent of their speech, but he felt that they were very leisurely.
Zhang Fan didn't rush forward to ask for directions, but lowered his voice and asked Chu Yu, "Chu Yu, what should we do next?!" ”
"You go to the left, along the high wall made of bluestone bricks, all the way to the end, and when you get there, I'll tell you how to go!"
Chu Yu's voice resounded in Zhang Fan's mind.
Zhang Fan listened, and just raised his feet and left.
When he had just walked into the village, the old people who were sitting on both sides of the village entrance were all wide-eyed.
"Recently, there have been more and more unfamiliar faces from other places, but I didn't expect the descendants of the village chief's family to be so promising!"
These old people looked at Zhang Fan's distant back, smacking their tongues secretly, and their words were mixed with a strong sense of envy.
"Who says it's not, the village chief's family has really become richer and richer in recent years, and the entry and exit are all luxury cars, when will my baby catch up with the village chief's family, and half of the offspring will have a good life!"
The old people talked a lot, and their faces showed deep jealousy.
Zhang Fan followed Chu Yu's instructions and soon came to a high wall made of bluestone bricks.
He strode along the path in the corner.
It took about ten minutes before he finally came to the end.
"What's next?"
Zhang Fan asked.
"Then go forward a hundred meters and you will see an intersection, then you turn right, you pass three houses, and the fourth house is mine!"
Chu Yu's voice revealed a touch of excitement and joy.
Because she will soon be able to return to her home and see her brother.
"But when you pass the second house, you have to pass quickly, this family has a big dog, and there is no leash, if you go slowly, the dog may chase out, the dog has bitten a lot of people before!"
Chu Yu was silent for a while, and quickly added, she was still afraid that Zhang Fan would be bitten by a dog without knowing it.
"Damn, such a pit? Have you bitten so many people that you can't even tie a dog chain? ”
When Zhang Fan heard the sound, his heart suddenly moved, and a little cold sweat overflowed on his forehead.
To tell the truth, he is most afraid of dogs, when he was very young, he was chased and bitten by the dog in his hometown, at that time he was scared out of the psychological shadow, and now when he sees a dog, he has a very unnatural feeling.
Zhang Fan was in a nervous mood, and he walked on the road according to Chu Yu's instructions.
After another ten minutes, he also came to the street where the three families Chu Yu said were located.
Zhang Fan held his breath and his pace quickened a lot, especially when he passed by the second house with a dog, he almost ran away.
Sure enough, as soon as he ran out, there was a low barking of dogs from inside the door.
Zhang Fan heard the barking of dogs, and he subconsciously glanced behind him.
I saw a huge black wolf dog with a fat body, and it suddenly rushed out with lightning speed.
"Woohoo!"
The wolf dog's mouth couldn't stop dripping with sticky saliva, and it roared and pounced on Zhang Fan.
"Good guys, really good guys!"
Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but exclaim, gritted his teeth suddenly, as if there was wind under his feet, and accelerated instantly.
Although Zhang Fan's speed is very fast, the speed of the wolf dog that pounces is not slow.
Zhang Fan saw that the wolf dog was getting closer and closer to him, and he was speechless, thinking that at this time, he also had four terrifying black qi ghosts in his body.
If he was bitten by this wolf dog today, it is estimated that he would have no place to put his old face, so he would just throw the dead and simply jump into the river.
Zhang Fan's heart sank, and his speed increased again, he was desperate now, no matter how he was, he couldn't be bitten by this beast.
As Zhang Fan's speed increased, the wolf dog also began to pant, some couldn't catch up, and was quickly pulled away, and finally it slowly stopped, so it had to look at Zhang Fan's back with unwillingness, let out an oozing low roar, and then shook its head and walked back.
Finally, Zhang Fan successfully got rid of the entanglement of the wolf dog.
He watched the wolfdog go away and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he also happened to come to the door of the fourth household.
This fourth family is Chu Yu's home.
Zhang Fan looked at a simple gate made of wood, and his gaze couldn't help jumping.
Walking forward, Zhang Fan stretched out his hand and pushed, and the simple door opened in response to the sound and was not locked.
At the moment when Zhang Fan pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, his eyes widened, and he was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
I saw that the small yard was a mess, and there were all kinds of crops scattered everywhere.
The wooden basket carrying the corn fell to the ground on its side, the corn spilled out, the wooden shed built was also toppled down, and even the pot and stove in the yard were destroyed by someone, and the big iron pot on top also broke a big hole.
Not only that, in the courtyard, a thin yellow little earth dog, dying, lying motionless with blood flowing all over his body, and on the hairy body of the little earth dog, there was an extremely eye-catching black shoe print.
"How...... How could it be...... How so?!! ”
Chu Yu's anxious voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Fan's mind.
"Where's my brother?!"
"Brother, where are you?!!"
Chu Yu was full of anxiety, and his voice was faintly mixed with crying.
"Chu Yu, don't worry, I'll take a look in the house first!"
Zhang Fan hurriedly comforted Chu Yu, he didn't hesitate, and rushed into the house with one arrow step.
But the moment he just rushed into the house, he was directly dumbfounded.
Because the scene inside the house was even more messy, all the furniture and tools were thrown on the floor, and under the round wooden table that had been overturned, there were still a few plates of boiled blackened food.
Zhang Fan leaned down and touched the food, and found that it was still hot.
It seems that the food has just been prepared, but it has not been eaten before it has been overturned.
Standing up, Zhang Fan walked towards the bedroom.
In this bedroom, all the beds and bedding fell to the ground, stained with gray dust, and the awards on the walls were violently torn off.
And on the messy ground, something attracted Zhang Fan's attention.
Zhang Fan frowned, stepped forward, and carefully picked up the thing.
This is a worn-out family photo.
There is an amiable couple inside, and in front of the husband and wife, there is a pair of cute and laughing siblings.
"Is anyone there?"
"Chu Feng, are you back?"
Just when Zhang Fan had just wiped the dust off this shabby family photo, suddenly, at this moment, a calling voice sounded outside the door.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Fan solemnly put the family photo in his pocket and walked towards the door.
When he came to the door, he found an old woman with short stature and gray hair standing in the courtyard, looking out into the inner room with her head outstretched.
"You are?"
When the old woman saw that the person who walked out was not Chu Feng in his mouth, her face was full of doubts.
"Grandma, I'm Chu Yu's friend, and I came here today from outside to visit her brother!"
Zhang Fan smiled and smiled sincerely.
"Grandma, do you know where her brother has gone?"
Zhang Fan thought about it and asked with a smile.
"Chu Yu's friend?"
When the old woman heard this, she looked stunned for a moment.
"Chu Yu has been dead for three years, how can she have friends?"
The old woman asked with a puzzled expression.
"I'm her classmate, and I've known her since elementary school!"
Zhang Fan snorted and made up an excuse to say.
"So that's ......." the old woman suddenly realized.
"Grandma, do you know where Chu Yu and her brother went?"
Zhang Fan continued to ask.
"Did you say Chu Feng? He was still at home, as if he had been called out by the village chief's son! said that he went to the back mountain to play! ”
"Chu Feng's child is really hard, his parents died of a serious illness ten years ago, leaving him and his sister Chu Yu to rely on each other, who would have thought that three years ago, his sister Chu Yu also drowned in the river. In the end, he was left alone in the world! ”
"Alas, it's really a poor family with many disasters!"
The old woman sighed with regret on her face, and said helplessly.
"Called out by the village chief's son?"
Zhang Fan heard the sound and muttered in a low voice.
"Go find him, the village chief's family is not a good thing!"
Zhang Fan's muttering had not yet fallen, and Chu Yu's anxious words suddenly exclaimed.
After Zhang Fan listened to Chu Yu's words, he then looked at the mess in the courtyard, as well as the little earth dog that was dripping with blood and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he suddenly realized it in his heart.
No matter how you look at this situation, it looks like Chu Feng was approached by the enemy, and the two had a fight and conflict.
Not only did he destroy his home, but even the little earth dog was about to be killed, and in the end, Chu Feng's resistance failed, so he was forcibly taken away by those people.
And the place to go is still the back mountain.
The general back mountains are wilderness, and even if they kill people and bury corpses there, I am afraid that not many people will find out.
Soon, Zhang Fan all understood, and it was estimated that at this moment, there was a high probability that Chu Feng had encountered something wrong.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to delay too much, so he hurriedly asked the old woman, "Grandma, do you know how to go to the back mountain?" I have something urgent to find Chu Feng! ”
"Back Mountain?"
The old woman asked weakly.
"I know how to go back to the mountain, I'll show you the way!"
Without waiting for the old woman to answer, Chu Yu's anxious voice sounded again.
"Okay, then you lead the way!"
Zhang Fan hurriedly said.
"Grandma, I still have something to do, so you can stay for now!"
After Zhang Fan said a word to the old woman, he quickly ran out of the gate and went outside.
Coming outside, Zhang Fan ran left and right under the guidance of Chu Yu, and after twenty minutes, he came to the range of the back mountain.
But the moment he just ran to the back mountain, a noisy insult suddenly came from the depths of the back mountain.
"Not good!"
When Zhang Fan heard this, his face changed suddenly, and his steps couldn't help but be much faster again.
