Chapter 418: A Fool

"What are they talking about?" Jiang Hanyan asked.

Xie Yongzhi looked angry, and the bruises on his forehead were bulging, obviously what these people said was unbearable.

"I'm going to chase them away!"

Xie Yongzhi got up and wanted to drive people away, but his grandmother and father wanted to stop them, they lived in the same village, and they still had the same surname, how could they drive people away?

"No!"

Lu Chen stopped Xie Yongzhi, he walked in front of these bachelors, did not speak, from the firewood piled up under the corner of the wall, pulled out an adult arm-thick firewood, slowly erected it in front of these people, and then with lightning speed, the other hand suddenly slashed, and the wooden stick clicked and broke.

Everyone only felt a gust of wind, and they didn't see anything clearly, and they saw that the firewood stick in Lu Chen's hand was broken into two, and Lu Chen's hand didn't even break the skin, everyone couldn't help but rub their eyes, wanting to determine if it was an illusion, and the wooden thorns at the broken part of the wooden stick reminded them that it was not an illusion.

Just now, this young man did cut the wooden stick with his hand, and the stick and wooden stick they didn't cut with a knife so easily, this man's hand was sharper than a knife!

A few bachelors who were still talking about Jiang Hanyan just now changed their complexions, and their hearts went up and down, and they involuntarily took a few steps back.

Lu Chen glanced at them coldly, and several bachelors were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat, and turned around and left, afraid that if they stayed any longer, their necks would be broken.

After that, the courtyard became as quiet as a chicken, and the villagers spoke a lot softer, and they glanced at Lu Chen from time to time, paying attention to his face, for fear of angering the big guy.

"Erzhu, digging so many sweet potatoes, your family is only three people, what are you doing with so many sweet potatoes?" One of the villagers said loudly.

"My family eats a lot."

The hoarse woman's voice came, it sounded not young, Jiang Hanyan had already eaten, she walked out of the yard, and saw an old woman carrying a large basket of sweet potatoes on her back, her hair was white, her back was bent like a bow, her eyes were cloudy, and she looked old.

"There are a lot of cars parked at the entrance of the village, what are you here for?"

The old woman stopped, didn't put down the basket, leaned her back to talk to the villagers, and looked at Jiang Hanyan.

"The teachers and classmates in Yongzhi City come to play, oh, that beautiful girl is Yongzhi, Jun, like a fairy."

A villager pointed at Jiang Hanyan, and the old woman looked at her again, smiled, and said in a dumb voice: "Really handsome!" ”

"The college students in the city are handsome and smart, and the baby they give birth to must be smart and good-looking."

The old woman's eyes flashed, she didn't look at Jiang Hanyan anymore, and walked away with a basket of sweet potatoes.

"Alas, my life is hard, I have to raise a stupid son, I have to work in the field when I am old, and I can't enjoy the blessings of my son." Someone sighed.

"Don't say this in front of Erzhu's mother, she thinks Erzhu is not stupid, and she wants to tell Erzhu about her daughter-in-law."

"Who wants to marry if it doesn't cost money? His family was so poor that he couldn't take out a thousand yuan. ”

"That Erzhu looks like a cow, eats more than a pig, and doesn't know how to help the family, and his temper is not good, I saw Erzhu beat his mother last time."

Jiang Hanyan listened to these villagers, kept staring at Erzhu's mother, and after entering the village, she couldn't see it, she went into the house and asked Xie Yongzhi about Erzhu's mother.

"I live in the innermost part of the village, with the mountains right out of the door, and I have a stupid son, not to mention my daughter-in-law, who is the poorest in the village."

"That stupid son isn't young, right?"

"It shouldn't be small, he was very tall when I was very young, and his parents didn't let him go out, locked him in the house, saying that he would beat people." Xie Yongzhi said.

Everyone else had also eaten well, and it was getting a little dark, and the rescue team was going to search the neighborhood, because they found that the place where Xiaoqi disappeared was not far from this village, and maybe there would be a discovery.

The group went to the back mountain, and saw Erzhu's mother again, she carried a basket to the vegetable field to cut vegetables, and asked Xie Yongzhi, "What are you doing on the mountain now?" ”

"Go around."

"Be careful, there's a wolf on the mountain, and I heard it howl last night."

"I'll come back after a while, and don't go into the mountains."

Xie Yongzhi told everyone that there were wolves, but the rescue team hesitated, if there were really wolves, this point was really not suitable for entering the mountain, and they could not ignore the safety of the team members in order to save people.

"Let me make a hexagram."

Jiang Hanyan made a hexagram, the hexagram showed that Xiao Qi was still alive, but the situation was more dangerous, and what was even more strange was that the hexagram showed that Xiao Qi was close at hand.

"Xiaoqi is not far from us, not more than a mile."

"Did you fall into a nearby cave?" The rescue captain surveyed the nearby terrain.

"There are indeed many caves in the mountain, and the entrance of the cave is overgrown with weeds, and you can't even notice it if you're not careful." Xie Yongzhi said.

"It's not a cave, I dreamed that Xiaoqi was in a room, the light was dim, but it was definitely not a cave." Xiaoqi's mother is very sure that she believes that the dream is a distress signal from her daughter, and she will definitely not be wrong.

"Is it possible that it is a relatively large cave?" The captain said euphemistically.

He felt that the possibility of the cave was relatively large, and there must be water sources in the cave, as well as vegetation such as moss, so that Xiaoqi could be trapped for more than forty days and still be alive.

Xiaoqi's mother faltered, trying to recall the scene in the dream, but the memory was too vague.

"Let's go back and rest first, Xiaoqi is not in danger for the time being, and after dawn tomorrow, we will go into the mountains to search." Jiang Hanyan said.

The captain also has no opinion, the deep mountains at night are too dangerous.

Although Xiaoqi's parents were anxious, they didn't want everyone to be in danger, so they followed the big guy back.

When passing by Xie Erzhu's house, Jiang Hanyan couldn't help but take a closer look, this house was the most dilapidated in the village, and there were only three low adobe houses, but the front and back yards were very large, and they were far away from the village.

"Xie Erzhu often howls in the middle of the night, so their family moved here, so as not to disturb the villagers." Xie Yongzhi explained.

"Their family isn't close to the people in the village, is it?"

"I basically don't come and go, and I rarely visit the door, but I participate in red and white ceremonies." Xie Yongzhi replied.

"Has anyone ever died in their family?"

Xie Yongzhi was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Xie Erzhu's grandparents died when I was a child, and they were buried behind his house. ”

"A normal death?"

Jiang Hanyan's question became more and more strange, Xie Yongzhi was a little uneasy, so he said: "I'll go back and ask my dad and my grandmother, they know better." ”

After returning home, Xie Yongzhi called Grandma Xie and asked how Xie Erzhu's grandparents died.

"It's been more than ten years since I died, I think about it, Erzhu's grandfather fell to his death, went to the roof to lay straw, fell down and died, in the first half of the year, Erzhu's milk was gone in the second half of the year, and Erzhu's mother said that he was sick and gone."

"The roof is not high, why did you fall to your death?" Xie Yongzhi felt strange, Xie Erzhu's house was very low, not even three meters, so he wouldn't fall to his death, right?

"It's said that the back of the head is knocked, and the Lord of Yama accepts people, and he has to die lying down, why are you asking his family about it?"

"It's nothing, just ask."

Grandma Xie didn't think much about it, she went to the kitchen to cook pig food, and Father Xie went to the village chief to arrange accommodation.
