Chapter 14: Disappearance

Grandpa died.

At the funeral, Fang Sinan behaved very calmly, and everyone thought that she would cry and make a fuss.

From that day on, Fang Sinan never said a word again.

Huang Cai and Liang Qiusheng originally wanted to stay in Pingxi Village to take care of Fang Sinan for a while, but because there were still a lot of things waiting for them to deal with in the provincial capital, they had to leave Pingxi Village first, and before leaving, they repeatedly explained to Yu Jie and Si Qin that they wanted to take care of Fang Sinan.

"Si Qin, I won't say anything else, Nannan will take care of me, don't look at her like a nobody now, remember, watch her, don't let her run around!"

Si Qin repeatedly recalled Liang Qiusheng's words before leaving, and still couldn't figure out what it meant, what did it mean to "don't let her run around?" He wanted her to go out for a walk more, but it had been almost a month, Fang Sinan had almost never taken half a step out of the house, and the scope of activities had narrowed from the entire Pingxi Village to the old mansion now, eating and sleeping on time every day, and sitting in the yard in a daze at the grapefruit tree when he had nothing to do.

Is this still Fang Sinan?

Yu Jie was also about to have a nervous breakdown by Fang Sinan, because she was not worried about Fang Sinan, so wherever Fang Sinan went, she followed her, even if she went to the toilet, she would go to check whether the toilet was safe, and now the only thing Yu Jie looked forward to every day was to come over to take her shift in the afternoon when Si Qin was busy with village affairs.

Si Qin arrived as scheduled, still carrying a packed face in his hand, looking at this disposable box, it should be a trip to the city, and the other hand is carrying some metal products that I don't know what they are, and when I look closely, it looks like a small white iron pot.

"Fang Sinan, I brought you noodles."

"Si Da Village Chief, you are here, quickly, it's your turn, I can't do it, I want to go out for a walk."

Yu Jie looked at Si Qin, who came as scheduled, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, in her opinion, now Fang Sinan's skill of few words, I am afraid that only Si Qin can parry her.

"I'm going to buy you a satellite pot, there is no cable TV installed in the village, so I can make do with this and watch it."

Si Qin saw that Fang Sinan didn't respond to his plans, so he started to install the satellite pot on his own, but when the installation was completed and everything was ready, he realized: "I forgot, there is no TV." ”

"Wait, I'll move my TV for you, and it should be better to watch the TV."

Fang Sinan always lay on the rattan chair, his eyes slightly closed, and let Si Qin be busy on the side, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Si Qin saw that Fang Sinan didn't pay attention to herself, so he stopped bothering her and admonished: "You wait for me, I'll go back and move the TV over, maybe I'll be in a better mood when I watch TV." ”

Si Qin looked at the current Fang Sinan and was very distressed, the departure of a person made the originally lively and outgoing girl almost autistic, but it made him, the originally autistic person, the opposite.

Si Qin trotted all the way back to his residence, but when he first got home, Si Qin regretted that he shouldn't have left Fang Sinan at home, and after putting the TV at home that was almost never turned on on the motorcycle borrowed from the villagers, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately drove towards Fang Sinan's old house.

But the reality is like this, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

When Si Qin was still some way away from the old house, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and it was Yu Jie calling.

"Si Qin, is Fang Sinan there with you?"

"She's not at home?"

Si Qin finally understood at this moment the meaning of Liang Qiusheng's sentence "Don't let her run around", Fang Sinan's calm and indifference these days are all her masks to disguise her sadness, when people are faced with despair, their spirits are often severely hit, some people will behave abnormally, while others will go to extremes, and what Si Qin is most afraid of is that Fang Sinan will be a combination of these two options.

"You go to the radio station and ask Lu Jiutian to use the radio to call on the villagers to help find it together, and I'll go to the back mountain to have a look first."

Fang Sinan's father was buried in the back mountain after being buried by the village after he was killed, Si Qin thought about whether Fang Sinan might have gone to the back mountain, but after looking for a long time on the back mountain, he didn't find Fang Sinan's figure.

After hearing Lu Jiutian's broadcast, the villagers in Pingxi Village also began to look for Fang Sinan, some holding flashlights, some carrying torches, and some people with transportation also spontaneously went to the town to look for them, Yu Jie waited for the notice at home, and everyone agreed that if anyone found Fang Sinan, they would use a landline at the nearest contact site to call Fang Sinan's house.

At this moment, a search and rescue team composed of villagers was born.

Si Qin followed the cemetery to the deep mountain road all the way to the mountain, the back mountain and then up because of the steep terrain, the villagers do not go in on weekdays, the older generation and people rely on the mountain to hunt for a living, but in recent years, it has been explicitly forbidden to hunt wild animals, the profession of hunter has disappeared, and there are very few people who are familiar with the terrain of the back mountain.

Si Qin could only rely on leaving marks along the road to ensure that he would not get lost, but it was getting darker and darker, and in the end, he could only rely on the faint light of his mobile phone to guide the way.

But he didn't leave far, it stands to reason that Fang Sinan shouldn't be able to go far, let alone a girl.

Si Qin was thinking about changing the search and rescue strategy, and when he walked back, he suddenly found that there was a person not far in front of him, although the sky had now made it impossible for him to distinguish who that person was, but his intuition told him that it was Fang Sinan.

Si Qin used the light of his mobile phone to illuminate the man's back, and asked tentatively, "Fang Sinan?" ”

"What a place this is, it's beautiful."

"It's okay, go back quickly, Yu Jie is crying urgently."

"Do you think grandpa knows that there is such a beautiful place in the village? There are mountains, there are streams, and you see, there are flowers blooming at the bottom of the valleys. ”

Fang Sinan pointed to the bottom of the deep valley, but did not look back.

"Does this valley have a name?"

"Fang Sinan, do you think it's interesting for you to do this? How old are people still playing missing? You know how many people are busy looking for you because of you when they should have eaten at home at this time! ”

Si Qin looked at Fang Sinan angrily, he really wanted to swallow this nonsense Fang Sinan alive at this moment.

"When did you become so talkative?"

Fang Sinan turned her head, through the night, her cheeks flashed with crystal clear tears, she cried, but she didn't cry.

"This place has no name, folks don't come back here, do you know the stars?"

"Stars?"

"Scientists will name this star after the person who first discovered it, this valley originally had no name, but now you have discovered it."

"Village Chief, how did your words become ...... So much more. ”

Fang Sinan cried, she finally cried, the emotion she hadn't had for so long finally poured out at this moment.

"We will name this valley after you, Sinan Valley"
