Everyone looked in the direction of the hand in the clouds, and it really looked like an eagle swooping there. Walking to the eagle's beak, there is only one road in the eagle's beak that looks like nothing, only one person can walk, there is a cliff outside, and there is a bottomless forest below. The four of them held hands one after the other, and moved forward cautiously, and it took about half an hour or so to get out of the eagle's beak. Yun Zhong said:

"That's it ahead, my father is waiting for you!"

Everyone walked down the mountain for a few minutes to the door, three wooden frame and straw roof houses were displayed in front of them, before people entered the house, they heard a breathless cough from afar, and the cough made people very uncomfortable, not to mention the intermittent sound of tiredness. Everyone walked into the house, and Zhang Yunzhong said:

"Dad, the people have also arrived, this is the lotus that was bitten by the snake back then, this is Huang Lijuan, who has just returned to work in the local area after being discharged from the army, this is Wang Zhongyu, the fiancé of the lotus, and will graduate from college soon."

The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at everyone, closed them for a while, looked very tired, and finally opened them again and said:

"Hello everyone, I'm really sorry for the hard work of you running so far, I can't compensate you, it's useless to get old! It's such a difficult mountain road, and you actually arrived on time, which is good. Pour them a cup of hot tea in the clouds, and I'll take a look at the lotus."

The lotus took two steps forward, and the old man stood up with a cane in his hand and looked at the lotus, and said, "Yes, yes, the little girls have become big girls back then." Eighteen changes in the female college! Good! Good! ”

Lotus said, "Uncle, you sit down and sit down, and speak slowly." What do you say? For so many years, I haven't come to see your old man's home, shouldn't it be me? Uncle, have you seen a doctor? ”

"Okay, you all sit down." The old man said.

The lotus flowers each dragged a chair and sat next to the old man, and placed a wooden basin filled with half a pot of lime at the old man's feet, and the phlegm in the basin still carried a lot of blood. At this time, Lotus and Huang Lijuan said at the same time:

"Uncle, why don't you go to the hospital to have a look, it's not okay to stay at home like this all the time! Gotta go to the hospital! ”

"Child, I know my uncle's illness, I am in the mountains all the year round, and the humidity here is heavy, not to mention that I am often bitten by snakes, and the residual poison has not been cleared up, and it has been a long time. What I can't rest assured is this kid in the clouds, it's so pitiful. The old man said.

The lotus flower said, "No! We'll send you to the hospital right away, and if you don't have the money, I'll figure it out. ”

"It's not a question of money or not, I'm the person concerned, and I know best." The old man said, "I didn't call you to talk about my illness, but about the child in the clouds, the clouds are not my children, and I am not married, but a girl knocked on my door in the middle of the night, holding a baby who had just been born for a few days in her arms, and gave me 300 yuan to entrust me to raise this child no matter what, if there is a chance in the future, she will come back to find it, she said that her name is Yu Dongmei." ”

She said that she didn't know that she was pregnant with a child when she left home, and she was in a hurry, and she didn't know where the child's father was transferred, she didn't know that she was pregnant with a child until she arrived here two months later, and she lived in Hu Wenguang's house when she came to this mountain village, because Hu Wenguang was also teaching in Dashan Village Primary School at the time, and now this school has also been demolished.

"Because Mr. Hu said a few fair words and was reported to be suspended for reflection, Yu Dongmei lived in his house, Yu Dongmei swept the floor and cleaned up in the iron pot factory, the pot factory was close to Hu Wenguang's home, she came to me to be introduced by Hu Wenguang, I was also entrusted by Hu Wenguang to accept the child, the child's father seems to be called Feng Guoqing, because at that time there were also people above to find out whether she was pregnant with a child, plus such a good-looking girl came to this mountain, there are also a few people with bad intentions, just because she does not let people know that they are pregnant with a child, Only then did the child suffer from a serious lack of nutrition, he was born very thin, his brain was very large, and the nutrition in the mountains was not good, and I was a gay man, and I was never married, so I didn't know how to raise children, not to mention that the climate in the mountains was particularly humid. ”

"It's like Zhang Yunzhong now, and I'm just raising him, and it's a pioneering act. Hu Wenguang found out that Yu Dongmei was pregnant by chance, he didn't ask Dongmei, but just told his wife, let his wife care more about Dongmei, and don't say the rest. But Yu Dongmei also understands people, but everyone doesn't explain it. ”

Since then, Yu Dongmei has known that the people in Mr. Hu's family are all good people, so when she gave birth to the child, Mr. Hu's wife went to invite a local midwife, who wrapped up the child and said to Yu Dongmei:

"The child was born with a little malnutrition! Be careful. ”

Then she asked Hu Wenguang to raise the child personally. When the girl left, she said:

"I still have to keep this matter a little secret, otherwise I'm afraid that other people will be involved."

That's probably the way it is, now it is estimated that the grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother in the cloud should be transferred back, and some are likely to retire, if nothing else, they should all be alive, but until now no one has come to recognize the child, and it is a little inappropriate for the child to follow me in the mountains, which is unfair to the child. Besides, the child is still young, the child should have his world, I don't have time to find his parents, Lotus, your life was also saved by him, when the uncle entrusts you to find his biological parents, this is the time when the mother in the cloud stayed and was born. ”

The old man took out a bronze lock. Then hand it to the lotus flower. The lotus took it and looked at it, and then handed it to Huang Lijuan to see, but Huang Lijuan said it was not right! The person who entrusted me is not called Yu Dongmei! The child, she said, maybe she didn't name the child. This safety lock alone doesn't show a problem. Huang Lijuan said:

"Uncle, didn't you ask her if she had any other names, and didn't leave an address letter? In what way will you be contacted in the future, and what are the general characteristics of this person? ”

"I can't remember, because it was night, and in the mountains, she gave birth not long ago, so she packaged herself so that she only saw a pair of eyes, and the light was very dim, so she didn't see anything clearly, but she said that if she didn't have problems in the future, she would definitely contact herself." The old man said, "After so many years, the children are older, and I haven't seen anyone to contact me, so I can't wait." I can't give the child to her personally. I'm a little worried that her mother isn't there? His mother and his father did not meet. If her mother was not there, her mother did not entrust this to anyone. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult, and it's good to say if both sides are still alive. If they are all connected, it's easy to say. I'm afraid that my parents are not there now? ”

When the old man said this, he was very excited, and he vomited blood more than once, which scared everyone, and the lotus called Zhang Yunzhong to come into the house, and immediately sent the old man to the hospital, the old man waved his hand and said:

"No, don't waste your time. As long as you entrust me to you, I will be satisfied and can go on the road with peace of mind. ”

Then there was a big mouthful of blood, vomiting all over the ground, the lotus hurriedly brought a cup of hot water, the old man drank two sips, and then the intermittent words gradually disappeared, only to see that the mouth of Yiyi was slowly closed. This mouthful of blood almost sprayed on Lotus's body, so frightened that Lotus's cup of hot boiled water also fell to the ground, seeing the old man slowly close his eyes, now everyone was in a hurry, and there was no claim for a while. Huang Lijuan approached the old man and said:

"We've got to bury the old man! Isn't it just left to dry like this? What do you think? Okay or no? ”

Now the lotus came back to her senses, so she asked Zhang Yunzhong to get a wooden plank, put the old man flat on the plank, and then straightened his clothes and said:

"We will transport the old man out of the mountain to be buried, and Wang Zhong will carry the old man to you and Zhang Yunzhong."

Huang Lijuan said: "Can you be buried in the old place?" ”

The lotus said: "No, my life was saved by the old man, so I will recognize him as my father!" In the mountains, there is no one who comes to see him during the New Year's holidays. After being transported out of the mountain, it is also convenient to see the old man, and also burn incense paper for the old man! In the clouds, is there a white cloth at home? ”

"Yes!" Answered in the cloud.

"You get some out right away."

Yun Zhong went to the cabinet and took a piece of white cloth and handed it to the lotus, he didn't know what the lotus wanted the white cloth for, his eyes stared at the lotus, only to see the lotus take the white cloth, tear the white cloth into four large pieces, and then wrapped the torn white cloth around his head, and then handed the remaining three pieces to Zhang Yunzhong, Wang Zhongyu, Huang Lijuan said:

"Lijuan, I'm a little sorry for you, since I recognized the old man as my father, you and I are good friends, then you have to wear a white cloth."

Huang Lijuan said: "Yes! Should. So Huang Lijuan was also entangled.

Lotus, Huang Lijuan and the two of them packed up all the things at home, took out everything that can be taken away at the moment and can be used tomorrow, and if they can't take it away, they will talk about it later if they can't put it here for the time being!

At dawn the next day, the four of them carried the old man's body back the same way, and when they passed by the door of Uncle Li Zhong's house in the afternoon, a group of people surrounded them, and for about half an hour, separated everyone from the back of the crowd and said:

"Let me go in and have a look."

It turned out to be Hu Wenguang, he came to Uncle Li Zhong to borrow the plow, he was ready to take advantage of the Spring Festival to have nothing to do, his plow will not be repaired well for a while and a half, so he came to Uncle Li Zhong to borrow, as soon as he arrived at the door of Uncle Li Zhong's house, he knew that his old friend had died, and he suddenly opened the crowd, walked into the corpse, took the cover cloth, looked at it and said:

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry! Now it's just getting better, but you're gone, we haven't seen each other yet, and there are still a lot of things I haven't had time to say, you have been wronged for so many years, and you are really bitter for a lifetime to do it alone in the mountains. Well, someone has finally sent you back, and the child will no longer be hiding in the mountains, and he should live the life he should live. Everything will go up in smoke. Brother, you go all the way! ”

Then together with the lotus, they carried the old man's body to a vacant lot in front of Wang Zhongyu's house and put it away, and the lotus called Huang Lijuan to tidy it up outside, and then asked Wang Zhongyu to walk into the house with him, as soon as he entered the house, the lotus knelt in front of the old man, Wang Zhongyu saw the lotus kneeling, and he also knelt in front of the old man. Lotus Says:

"Dad, the child made his own decision to transport Uncle Zhang's body out of the mountain for burial, you can blame the child! Now the child also recognizes Uncle Zhang as his godfather, and the child should handle the funeral affairs for his old man, and when the matter is over, your old man can be punished as much as he wants. ”

"Dad, it's not about the lotus, it's the child's master." Wang Zhongyu hurriedly said.

"It's not a fight, it should be, lotus, Uncle Zhang saved your life, you should repay it with a spring, not to mention that this is a trivial matter, I'm old, and I can't help much, it's you who are tired, what do I blame? What's more, to be a human being is to be such a person. Are you all going to get busy? First find someone to invite the Taoist priest, and everything will be done according to customs. Seeing that you can do this, I am also relieved, as a person, you should give the credit of good things to others, and take the bad things and bad things on yourself. Wang Zhongyu's father said.

At this time, Wang Zhongmei and Wang Zhonggang, the two brothers and sisters, also went out to Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, and also arranged for someone to invite the Taoist priest to go, and the people in the neighborhood, as well as the parents of the lotus flower, also arrived, and the father of the lotus flower said to the lotus:

"Kid, why didn't you say it earlier! We think that we went to a classmate in the days when we disappeared, and this is all because my father was careless. If you go and ask two people to get some corn and rice from my house and grind it into flour and rice, and the people who come to help can afford you, can't you tell them to go back and eat it? I also have sparse vegetables in my house, so I ask everyone to get them. ”

"Alright! Dad, I'll just call it! ”

So Lotus called Wang Zhonggang and asked him to arrange for someone to go to his house to get corn and rice. Lotus is also busy with Zhang Luo, she is worried about the old man's coffin, since she advocated sending the old man out of the mountain, he has to let his old man go beautifully, the coffin is no less than what, when she is thinking about what to use, there are a few cars on the road in front, three cars in front of the road, followed by a farm car, the car has a coffin, and then the car jumped down, Huang Lijuan, Zhu Chief Engineer, Master Yang and Jiang Song, the farm car also jumped three or four people, they moved the coffin out of the car, and carried the coffin to the old man's body, In the end, everyone moved the old man's body into the coffin, and the lotus walked in front of the chief engineer and said:

"You're really raining in time!"

The people in the neighborhood have what to do at home, and in this way, the old man's future can be said to be very lively, and it is completely impossible to see that he is an old man who has no children, even if he has children and daughters, it is not a big deal. On the day of the burial, Hu Wenguang once again lifted the cover and said to the old man:

"Look at it, there are so many people who send you on the road, you are also worth it, you have to thank the lotus child! You have such a goddaughter, and you are content! What a good girl, she hasn't recovered from her own illness yet! You're causing him trouble again. I've got to say that! You won't be able to go back to your hometown for a while, you know? When you left work, my client rummaged through your file, and it also stated that you fell into the water and died, and then there was nothing, so it was fine, so I never came to tell you. Blame me! After Hu Wenguang finished speaking, he covered the cover again.

Then together with everyone, the old man's spirit bones were sent to a hill behind for burial.

At the time of the burial, Lotus looked at the people who came to send the Lingshu or a lot, she knew that these were all for herself, Lotus thought to herself, what virtue can I Lotus have, so that so many villagers can afford it. So she secretly made up her mind in her heart that she must make Dashan Village famous. Then it is to explain to the old man what he said, listening to what Hu Wenguang said just now, Uncle Zhang knows Hu Wenguang, and he may know a lot of things, it seems that Zhang Yunzhong's affairs and his parents' affairs may have been known by Hu Wenguang as well. And what Huang Lijuan said that day in the old man's house, it seems that someone is also entrusting her to find someone, and she is also in the area of Dashan Village, is Zhang Yunzhong the child who entrusted Huang Lijuan to find? It's also hard to say. In short, the answer to the mystery may not be far away. I also hope that Zhang Yunzhong will find his biological parents as soon as possible.

Lotus and all the others who helped were almost gone, and then called Wang Zhonggang, and Wang Zhongmei and the two brothers and sisters greeted the guests and the rest of the helpers. In the end, the lotus approached Huang Lijuan and said:

"Lijuan, someone entrusted you to find someone, right? When you looked at Zhang Yunzhong's age that day, it should be the same as the age of the person you were looking for, right? Do you suspect that the person you are looking for may also be related to Zhang Yunzhong? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked to go into the mountains together last time, would you? Then we went, and Uncle Zhang said that I'm sorry in some links, right? ”

"Yes." Huang Lijuan replied.

"I conclude that the person you are looking for must be Yunzhong, you also heard Uncle Zhang say that she came in person, but she didn't come, since she didn't come in person, but entrusted you, this shows that there are several points, indicating that the person who entrusted the child really doesn't exist; Or if she is sick and can't walk, if she can't walk, she will come; or there are facts that can't go away, and she won't come until things have a certain clarity; Or maybe she's all on the back of things. It must be that when she left, the child was too young, and the conditions in the mountains were also very poor, not to mention entrusting it to a man who had never been married and had never brought a child, and she did not dare to determine whether the child was still in the world, so she entrusted you, or she was entrusted by others, in fact, the child's mother was someone else. First, I dare to conclude that it is because the person who entrusted you asked you to look for it in the area of Dashan Village, which can only show that the child was sent in the mountains at that time, and where the child is now, after so many years, there has been any change, and she herself does not know; second, although the client's name is not Yu Mei, it may be possible that she changed her name in order to better protect the child and Uncle Zhang and herself; Third, there are really other people who are really looking for children; Fourth, I have been living in this area of the mountains for so many years, I have never heard that the child is fostered, nor have I heard that there is a move, I am saying that the situation at that time is to be kept secret, and only far away from the populated place, even ordinary people dare not go to the place is the most confidential, now I am only sure that there is no one here to have a foster child, and if there is no move away, it must be him, I continue to inquire here. Do you say? Lotus said.
