If I don’t become the last one, I will be immortal!

Chapter 72 Yunlai Village

Fanxing carried a basket of food and walked and chatted with the aunt as they headed towards the fields.

Through the conversation, Fanxing learned that her aunt's surname was Bai, her husband's surname was Long, and they had two sons and two daughters.

The technology in Fanxing's world is advanced. After a woman becomes pregnant, the embryo can be moved outside the body for cultivation when it develops to a certain extent. The mother does not need to go through the pain of pregnancy and childbirth for ten months.

Therefore, those who like children and can afford to raise them are generally willing to have more children.

Of course, in modern society, there are not many families who like to have many children, even in rural areas. Aunt Bai’s family has four children, which is really a lot.

Because there are so many children and they get married and have their own children, Aunt Bai's family seems to be particularly large.

It is the busy farming season now. Although most farm work is done by machines, Aunt Bai's daughter and son-in-law still brought their children back to help.

Her daughter and son-in-law both work in the city and rarely come back.

Walking in the fields, Fanxing saw harvesters shuttling through the fields, quickly harvesting the rice that was bent under the weight.

Looking at the grand scene of the harvest, the villagers' faces were filled with unstoppable joy.

However, Fanxing keenly noticed that the rice in two fields was still growing quietly in the fields, with no one paying attention to it.

Following Fanxing's gaze, Aunt Bai also looked at the two plots of land, sighed deeply, and then said:

"Those two plots of land belonged to Daxiang and Shitou. After they disappeared, their families were so busy looking for them that they had no time to care about the land."

Daxiang and Shitou are the names of the two missing people, or to be more precise, their nicknames.

Daxiang's real name is Long Yixiang, and Shitou's real name is Long Yishi. They are cousins.

Although Yunlai Village is not a clan-style village with a unified surname, there are only a few surnames in the village, and Long is considered a big surname in the village.

At this time, Fanxing remembered what the villager she met at the village entrance said, so she asked Aunt Bai:

"How many people are missing from the village? I heard two people were missing, but I heard from the villagers that it's three."

Aunt Bai clapped her hands upon hearing this and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you something so important. It was supposed to be two, but early this morning, Ah Shui also disappeared, and we didn't have time to report it yet!"

That's it!

As they were chatting, they arrived at Aunt Bai's land.

"Old man, kids, it's time to eat!" Aunt Bai shouted towards the field at the top of her voice.

Village chief Long, who was busy in the fields, and his daughter, son-in-law, son, daughter-in-law, grandsons, granddaughters, and grandsons all came over in a huge group.

Aunt Bai's twelve-year-old grandson ran the fastest. He rushed to his grandmother and asked in confusion, "Grandma, where did this sister come from?"

Aunt Bai patted him on the back and said, "Don't meddle in adults' affairs, you idiot. Just call me Sister Yu."

"Oh, Sister Yu." The little grandson responded, then squatted down to help his grandmother spread the picnic blanket.

At this time, Village Chief Long arrived with others. Like his grandson, he looked at the stars with a puzzled look.

At this time, Aunt Bai whispered something in the boss's ear, and Longcunxiang suddenly realized what was going on. So he took the lunch box and pulled Fanxing to sit next to him alone.

"Miss Yu, right?" Village Chief Long said as they ate. "Ask us anything you want. We'll tell you everything we know."

Fanxing asked, "When did the first person disappear?"

Village Chief Long replied, "It was just a week ago. I don't know if he disappeared at noon or in the afternoon, but when I came to my senses I couldn't find him.

At first, no one took it seriously. After all, he had hands and feet, so who knew where he would run off to?

But the child didn't come back until night, so his mother became anxious and ran to my house to ask me to take people to look for him. So I took people to look for him. We searched for him all night without sleeping, but we didn't even see a trace of him.

When the next day came, we still hadn't seen him, so we called the police. They searched for two days but couldn't find him. Then Shitou disappeared."

As he spoke, Village Chief Long sighed deeply, "Daxiang's kid is also pitiful. It's not easy for them to be an orphan and a widow..."

It turned out that Long Yixiang's father died early, and his mother raised him with great difficulty. He understood his mother's hardships, so he followed his cousin Long Yishi to work in the city at a young age.

At first, Long Yixiang was doing pretty well in the city. Every time he came home, he would bring a lot of bags. Everyone in the village said that his good days were finally coming.

Her mother was also happy and told everyone she met that her son had a promising future.

But accidents always come so suddenly. Because of an accident, Long Yixiang had an accident at the construction site and lost his entire right leg.

Although the construction site gave him compensation, he was left with serious disabilities.

Because of his disability, he could no longer continue working in the city and had to return to the village to live a miserable life.

After he had prosthetic limbs installed, his legs did not affect his walking, but he could not do any heavy work, so the burden of the family fell on his mother's shoulders.

Her mother had no other skills and could only take care of those few acres of land.

And because of his disability, he is already in his thirties and still hasn't found a wife.

Who would be willing to marry a good girl to a disabled man and let him suffer?
Village Chief Long complained as he spoke, "God is so blind. How could such a good family be tormented like this? If Daxiang is really gone, how will his mother live?
Some time ago, his mother was still happily saying that she wanted to find a wife for that kid..."

Upon hearing this, Fanxing asked in confusion, "Didn't they say that no one is willing to marry into his family?"

Village Chief Long shook his head. "How would I know? I only heard it from his mother."

Fanxing thought for a moment and then asked, "What about Long Yishi? Have they done anything special together recently?"

Village Chief Long thought for a while and then shook his head. "I don't know. Shitou is never home all year round. I don't know why he suddenly came back recently and keeps coming to Daxiang's house."

According to the village chief, Long Yishi has been doing very well in the city in recent years, and his family is the best off in the entire village.

After he became rich, he married a wife and had children in the city. His parents lived in the house in the village. He rarely came back and ignored the villagers.

When he took Long Yixiang out that year, he and Long Yixiang had a very good relationship, just like brothers.

After Long Yixiang got into trouble, he came back to see his cousin once or twice, but after that, as if he was afraid of being implicated, he never went to his cousin's house again.

Logically speaking, the accident happened because you took the person out. Putting aside other things, it wouldn't be a problem for you to come and check on him more often, right?
But Long Yishi just refused to come, and the villagers scolded him for being heartless. After all, they were cousins!

So when he came back this time, he ran to his cousin's house so eagerly that everyone found it strange.

Village Chief Long thought about it and said, "Tell me, Shitou is coming back this time to find a wife for Daxiang. Otherwise, where is Daxiang's mother going to find a wife for him?"

How could Fanxing know this? After chatting with the village chief for a while, and seeing that he could not get any useful clues, he said to the village chief:

"I want to go check on the missing families. Can you help me find someone to lead the way?"

The village chief nodded and said, "What's the problem with that?"

He turned and shouted to his grandson, "Feng, come here!"

Long Xiaofeng had just finished his meal when he heard his grandfather calling him. He ran over and asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing?" Village Chief Long said, "Take Sister Yu to visit your brother Xiang, brother Shitou, and Grandpa Shui."

The third missing villager was called Long Shangshui. He was actually about the same age as Long Yixiang and Long Yishi, but he was older and of the same generation as Village Chief Long.

Long Xiaofeng asked doubtfully, "Sister Yu, are you here because Brother Xiang and the others are missing?"

Village Chief Long tapped him on the forehead and said, "Just lead the way when I told you to. What are you asking about, you little brat?"

"If you don't want to ask, then don't ask. Why hit me?" Long Xiaofeng covered his forehead with his hands, looking aggrieved. After saying that, he turned to Fanxing and said, "Come on, sister, let's go."

As he said this, he ran forward.

Long Xiaofeng has a very lively personality. He chatters all the way and keeps chatting with Fanxing.

"Sister, where are you from? Are you from the county or the city? Are you from the province?"

"Sister, have you had lunch yet?"

"You haven't eaten? Why not? Do you want us to invite you to my house for dinner?"

"Sister, do you know where Brother Xiang is? My aunt is so pitiful. Brother Xiang is missing, and she cries every day..."

……

Fanxing couldn't stand the noisy little boy, so she threatened him, "If you keep chattering, the bad guy who took your brother Xiang away will take you away too."

Long Xiaofeng rolled his eyes when he heard this. "Sister, do you think we are fools? We are junior high school students, not elementary school students!"

He just entered junior high school this semester.

Stars:...

Soon the two arrived at Long Yixiang's house.

Unlike other two-story houses in the village, Long Yixiang's house is just an ordinary one-story bungalow.

However, because it is located in the countryside, the house occupies a large area.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Fanxing saw a well-dressed young woman yelling at a gray-haired aunt.

"I tell you, old man, if my stone doesn't come back, I will never forgive you."

The aunt who was scolded just lowered her head and cried, not daring to say a word.

The woman was still not satisfied and continued to curse: "You are a jinx, uncle told you to be killed, and now Daxiang has been killed by you, and you have also implicated our Shitou. Why don't you just die! Die early and reincarnate early, so as not to implicate the whole family.

How could our family have such an unlucky relative like you? I shouldn't have helped your family earlier. Our Shitou came back specially just to introduce a job to your Daxiang, but who would have thought..."

The woman's curses became more and more unpleasant, and more and more people gathered around to watch.

Someone couldn't stand it and tried to dissuade him, "Shitou's wife, you'd better be more careful with your words. Shitou's matter has nothing to do with Daxiang. It's better for you not to meet Daxiang first.

Besides, Daxiang's mother is your aunt after all!"

Hearing this, the woman glared angrily at the person who was trying to dissuade her. "Bah! She's still calling me aunt! Don't you even consider whether she's worthy of you? She's a jinx! I'm making this clear today. If my Shitou doesn't come back, I won't forgive her!"

Fanxing looked at the cursing woman and asked Long Xiaofeng, "Is that Long Yishi's wife?"

Long Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Yes, my sister-in-law is very fierce. Brother Shitou hasn't seen her these few days. She comes to my uncle's house every day to curse at me."

Fanxing nodded, then pushed through the crowd and walked up to Long Yixiang's mother.

Seeing the unfamiliar stars, Stone Wife frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Before she could say anything more, the clever Long Xiaofeng yelled, "Sister-in-law, please don't curse! I'm here to investigate your brother Shitou's disappearance. If you curse, I'll arrest you for obstructing public service!"

Fanxing looked at the little brat in surprise.

OK, it seems that my studies were not in vain, and I even know about the crime of obstructing public service.

Shitou's wife, who was about to curse, suddenly turned red like a duck with its throat pinched.

No matter how arrogant she is, she dare not challenge public officials.

Seeing this, Fanxing said, "It just so happens that both of your families are here. I have something to ask you."

"Hey~ girl, just ask." Long Yixiang's mother said after wiping her tears.

Fanxing said again: "Don't worry."

Then she looked at the crowd and said, "Can anyone help me call Long Shangshui's family?"

A child in the crowd immediately jumped up and shouted, "I'll go!"

As he said that, he ran away in a flash.

Seeing this, Long Yixiang's mother said, "Miss, why don't we wait inside?"

Fanxing nodded, "Okay, sorry to bother you then."

Long Yixiang's mother waved her hands repeatedly, "Don't disturb me, don't disturb me!"

Then Fanxing followed her into the house.

Seeing this, Shitou's wife hurried to catch up, not forgetting to turn around and glare at the onlookers, "Look, what's there to see? You're a bunch of country bumpkins, go back and dig your own land!"

Shitou married his wife in the city after he became rich. She has always looked down on Shitou's poor relatives in the countryside.

Originally, she did not return to the village with Shi Tou. She only hurried back after learning that Shi Tou was missing.

The villagers didn't want to go into other people's homes to watch the fun, so they dispersed one after another. However, they were obviously very dissatisfied with the domineering Stone Daughter-in-law.

About ten minutes later, the boy came over with a young girl.

She is about the same age as Shitou's wife, but she is not as exquisitely dressed as Shitou's wife, nor is she as aggressive as her.

The boy introduced that this was Long Shangshui’s wife.

Seeing that everyone was present, Fanxing asked, "How are the relationships between the three of you? Do you often interact with each other?"

Shitou's wife spoke first, "Of course that's fine. My son Shitou is so loyal and righteous, how could he not think about his little brother Daxiang? Whenever there's a little benefit at home, he runs to the village like crazy. In my opinion, he's just being unnecessary... an ungrateful bastard!"

Daxiang's mother moved her lips, but in the end said nothing.

Long Shangshui's wife also said, "That's right. We all live in the same village and we all have the surname Long. If you count our ancestors, we are all relatives. How can we not interact with each other?"

Fanxing looked at the expressions of the three people, not knowing whether they believed it or not.
