Chapter 286: What Worries Her Most (2nd Update)
Xu Jing's eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "I didn't want to ask about Doctor Yan's private affairs before, I don't know what Doctor Yan's mind is?" Is there anything I can do to help? ”
Wei Muqing sighed lightly and said, "It's not good for me to casually talk about Master's private affairs, and ordinary people are not capable of helping with this matter, Master himself...... I can't do anything but resign myself to fate......"
Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden noise outside, the two were stunned, and in the next breath, the door of Xu Jing's house was slammed hard.
The sound of banging on the door made people a little uneasy, Xu Jing immediately stood up and walked outside, just in time to see Cheng Xiao open the door.
I saw two villagers with torches standing outside the door, and as soon as they opened the door, one of the villagers said anxiously: "Have you seen the little Dongzi of the Yan family?" ”
Xu Jing now has a certain understanding of the people in the village, this little Dongzi of the Yan family, she remembers that he is a seven or eight-year-old child, although he is young, he is very sensible, he often helps his family to do things, running around the village, people who are familiar with him in the village will call him Xiao Dongzi when they see him, Xu Jing is difficult to remember.
Xu Jing opened her mouth and said, "What's wrong with Xiao Dongzi?" ”
During this time, because Wei Muqing often came to her house, the people in the village finally recognized that she was not a suspicious person, and their attitude towards her was much better.
The villager looked anxious and said: "Xiao Dongzi is gone, Yan Si and his mother-in-law said that when they had dinner tonight, Xiao Dongzi had some quarrels with them, and ran out in anger for a while, Yan Si and his mother-in-law looked for a long time and couldn't find anyone, so they asked us for help." ”
On this big night, it is still close to the cold weather of December, how can a child stand it after being outside for a long time?
Wei Muqing had more feelings for this village than Xu Jing, so she was naturally more nervous, and hurriedly asked, "How long has Xiao Dongzi been missing?" Can we help? ”
"I don't know, it's been more than an hour."
The villager said: "We have called all the men in the village to help find it, the weather is too cold tonight, Dr. Wei should not run around, be careful of catching a cold." ”
After saying that, he turned around and hurried away.
Wei Muqing's brows were furrowed all the time, obviously very uneasy, Xu Jing could only comfort her: "With so many people going out to look for it, Xiao Dongzi will definitely be found soon, don't worry." ”
Wei Muqing sighed secretly and said, "I also hope so, this child is also pitiful, his own mother was with other men when he was two years old...... ran away, leaving him and his father to depend on each other, and later, his father married Xu Xian, that is, Wang's sister-in-law, you should have the impression that Wang's sister-in-law, as a stepmother, is actually not bad for Xiao Dongzi, at least she has never treated Xiao Dongzi badly in terms of food and clothing, but in the end it is not her own biological baby, and she is always not so loving, especially four years ago, after she gave birth to a son herself, she was even more negligent to Xiao Dongzi.
Last winter, Xiao Dongzi contracted a cold and never recovered, but he ...... Wang's sister-in-law also kept asking him to help with things, running errands and chopping wood, and then Xiao Dongzi couldn't stand it, fell to the ground, and was sent to us by the villagers, so that his wind and cold could be cured. ”
It turned out that this little Dongzi was Wei Muqing's patient before, no wonder Wei Muqing was so worried about him.
Xu Jing said: "If you really don't worry, let's go out and have a look." ”
Wei Muqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, I'll just say that Ah Jing, you are a good person." ”
The two put on their coats and walked out, and they saw that the dark village was full of men with torches, and they shouted "Xiao Dongzi" while looking for them.
The old and weak women and children who didn't come out to help find them together couldn't help but walk to the door and looked at them with concern.
There are so many people in the village, everyone is familiar faces, no matter how many disputes and contradictions there are on weekdays, when something really happens, everyone is still very united.
Xu Jing and Wei Muqing were about to find a villager to ask about the situation, when they suddenly heard a little girl squatting at the door of their house looking up and asking their mother, "A-Niang, where has Xiao Dongzi gone?" Could it be that he was taken away by that terrible uncle on the mountain? ”
The woman on the side hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, how can Jiang Da have such courage......
An old woman who was slowly walking out behind her said: "It's hard to say, that Jiang Da looks weird, he nests in the mountains every day, he doesn't come out once for ten days and half a month, and he doesn't communicate with the people in the village, the men in the village are saying in private that he is very terrible, he can kill a big insect with his bare hands, maybe he is a fugitive from where he escaped, if he doesn't drive him away, something will happen sooner or later!"
If Xiao Dongzi is really in his hands, I won't be surprised at all. ”
The woman's face couldn't help but change slightly, "I won't stop ......"
Xu Jing couldn't help but look at them twice.
During this time, she also learned that this Jiang Da is a very special existence in Baiyang Village, he suddenly came to Baiyang Village three years ago, because he is tall and fierce, and his temperament is weird, the children in the village are very afraid of him, and the adults are also very jealous of him, and often tell their children not to contact Jiang Da casually, and the people in the village do not know anything about him except that his name is Jiang Da.
It is said that three years ago, when Jiang Da first came to the village, the villagers wanted to drive him away, so they reported to the government on the grounds that his identity was unknown.
The people in the village couldn't, so they could only live with him for three years as if he didn't exist.
The attitude of the people in the government was the one that Cheng Xiao and the others found back that Xu Jing cared about the most.
The household registration system of Dachu is very strict, and the government will send people to verify the household registration of the people under its jurisdiction every year, and if he encounters some strange outsiders, if he cannot prove his identity, he will immediately be treated as a suspicious person.
If a person wants to settle in a certain place, he must find a way to enter the local household registration, otherwise even if that person has a certificate that can prove his identity, he will be driven back to his household registration after a long time.
The people in the government said that Jiang Da's identity was fine, and he was allowed to live in Baiyang Village, there were only two possibilities, one was that Jiang Da was originally from Baiyang Village, and the other was that Jiang Da entered the household registration here.
Looking at the attitude of the people in the village, Jiang Da is obviously not from Baiyang Village, so to speak, he is the household registration of Baiyang Village that he entered later.
So, where did he come from? Why did you enter the household registration of Baiyang Village?
The old woman said that he might be a fugitive somewhere, but Xu Jing didn't think so, if he was a fugitive, he would not have been able to pass the level of changing his household registration.
Xu Jing was thinking to herself, when she suddenly heard a male voice not far away, "Yan Si, have you looked for it over there in Wangzi River?" ”
But it was Xiao Dongzi's father, Yan Si came.
Yan Si was a tall and thin man with a slender nose and thin lips, and when he heard this, he frowned and said, "I've looked for it, but I haven't found it, where did you say that stinky boy went!" ”
As he spoke, he seemed to be very irritable, and kicked the stones on the side of the road away.
The man who asked immediately said: "Yan Si, don't care what happened to you and Xiao Dongzi tonight, find the child in a while, don't face him with this face, coax him back first, and then teach him slowly, Xiao Dongzi is not the kind of person who doesn't know anything, to be honest, Xiao Dongzi will run out so willfully tonight, we all feel unbelievable." ”
Yan Si said with an irritated face: "I know, I know ......."
The man said, "Let's go to the Wangzi River with you to look for it, and we can't find anyone anymore, so we can only go into the forest to look for it." ”
Yan Si frowned slightly, "But, I just looked for it there." ”
"Just in case, look it again, we've almost all searched the village."
As they spoke, they turned around and walked towards the Wangzi River.
Wei Muqing immediately said: "Ah Jing, I want to go with you, do you want to go together?" ”
Xu Jing thought about what the old woman said, nodded and said, "I'll go and see it too." ”
