Surprise! Traveling through the book and going to the countryside, eating melons and watching plays

After Li Muchen asked this question, he didn't hear a reply for a long time. His eyes moved from the paper to the face of the person leaning against the wall.

I wanted to see what he was thinking and why he didn't respond.

But because of the distance and the light, I couldn't hear anything clearly. I only saw his hand wiping his face randomly a few times.

Li Muchen was a little confused and didn't know what this guy was doing.

"Dasheng, what are you thinking about? I'm asking you a question."

"Well, we've sent people to dig up the place where they confessed."

Li Muchen didn't quite hear what Dasheng said, or maybe he didn't want to believe it, so he asked again.

Li Muchen got the exact answer and understood the hidden meaning in the words, but he found it hard to accept.

"why?"

Li Muchen asked the question in a somewhat suppressed tone, as if he was asking Dasheng, but also as if he was asking himself.

There was no response for a long time, and the two just stood in silence in the dark and lonely corridor.

Hell is empty, the devil is on earth.

"Is it right here?"

Loud inquiries filled the empty corridor. Li Muchen and Da Sheng walked out of the shadows and were surrounded by dim lights again. Life must go on.

After Lin Ru knew that she had forgotten Li Muchen in the county town, she was not worried. He was a grown-up man and would come back after finishing his work.

Thinking about the way the police officers treated him today in the county town, it was not like they were treating an ordinary educated youth.

She wondered if it was possible that Li Muchen came here to carry out a mission, so it was inconvenient for him to reveal his identity in order to avoid being noticed by someone with ulterior motives and thus becoming alert.

If you think about it this way, it's very possible, as that's how TV dramas were played in the past.

If this is true, she has to talk to Li Muchen and hand over the evidence. Thinking that Director Zhuang and the people behind him are becoming more and more arrogant, she really doesn't want to wait even a day longer.

After returning home, Lin Ru had no appetite at all, perhaps because she was too hungry or because of her mood.

This time she did not force it. After taking a comfortable bath, she went to sleep on the kang.

The next day, Lin Ru slept in again, which was a rare occasion. When she woke up, she saw the sunlight that even the curtains could not block out. She just sat there in a daze for a long time.

I got up slowly, washed up, and sat in front of the window eating wontons.

She had just finished cleaning up when she heard slamming on the door.

When I heard this voice in my mind, four words popped out subconsciously: Zhao Fang is here.

"Lin Ru, something happened in the village."

As soon as the door opened, Lin Ru heard these words and her eyes widened in shock.

"what happened."

"Wang Dahua and her family are back, but the child is gone."

When Lin Ru heard this, she felt very sad. She thought Zhao Fang knew, so she didn't say anything. It turned out that she only knew it now.

"I came to you to discuss with you whether we should go to Wang Dahua's house."

Zhao Fang said with a sad face.

"Okay, I'll pack up and leave."

Lin Ru quickly went into the house, put on her scarf and hat, and prepared to go out.

"Why don't you change your scarf to a different color? It's not nice to wear red to a funeral."

Zhao Fang hesitated for a moment, but still reminded her, fearing that Lin Ru was young and didn't understand the rules, so she made it clearer.

"Yes, the child is lost, so I brought this color..."

Lin Ru said and went back to change another one. She was so confused that she forgot about it. But just when she was halfway there, she wanted to understand what Zhao Fang said, and she froze. What does funeral mean? Isn't it lost?

"Can you use more precise words? How can we hold a funeral if something is lost?"

Lin Ru forced a smile and tried to correct Zhao Fang. When would she be able to get rid of this habit of talking nonsense?

"Lin Ru, really, really, I was not wrong."

Zhao Fang's tears suddenly fell uncontrollably, not caring whether the weather would cause frostbite on her face.

Lin Ru didn't know how she got out of the door, she was just pulled by Zhao Fang and walked forward subconsciously.

Passing by the slippery slope, I could still hear the children's laughter.

They love playing this game the most in winter, and sometimes they will sneak out if their parents don’t agree.

The children stood on the big slope, sometimes alone, sometimes in a group, and slid from the top to the bottom. The extreme speed made the children cheer constantly.

Lin Ru could hear that happy voice clearly at the educated youth point. Every time she heard it, her heart would jump with joy.

It was this ditch. When the weather was still warm, they were running wildly here. Then, somehow, there was a continuous splashing sound, as if a whole string of candied haws had fallen into the ditch.

When they got up, they not only didn't cry, but also laughed foolishly. When the adults saw it, they picked up sticks from the roadside and hit them on the buttocks. The children saw that their buttocks might be injured, so they immediately ran away. For a while, they ran and they chased each other.

The hustle and bustle on the small road made people on the road laugh continuously.

They would pick wheat ears in the fields, take bird eggs from the trees, collect firewood at the foot of the mountain, and catch fish and shrimp in the water...

The children can always find something to play with, and the whole village seems to be filled with the laughter of children.

"arrive."

When Lin Ru heard Zhao Fang's voice, he came back to his senses in a trance and walked in woodenly.

Hearing the whimpering sound, Lin Ru finally believed what Zhao Fang said.

The two walked in and saw Grandma Wang who seemed a little mentally abnormal, Wang Dahua who was busy all the time but had no expression on her face, and the people who were crying in the yard.

Lin Ru felt very sad and didn't know how to comfort her.

Although Zhao Fang can speak normally, she is young after all. Faced with this kind of situation, she was suddenly at a loss for words and couldn't utter a single word.

He silently took out two dollars, handed it to Wang Dahua, shook it firmly, and gave up his seat.

Seeing this, Lin Ru also took out ten yuan. She knew that it was too insignificant, but if she took too much, it would not be good for either party.

Wang Dahua's eyes seemed to be unfocused, and he just stared at Lin Ru blankly.

Lin Ru let go of his hand uncomfortably and stood aside silently.

Wang Dahua's family came over, took the money from her hand, and expressed their gratitude while crying.

Even though the money in her hand was taken away, Wang Dahua did not react at all. She was like an emotionless robot, not caring about anything.

"Look at Wang Dahua. She lost her child, but she didn't even shed a tear."

"I usually just pretend to be nice to my child, but I'm worse than a stepmother."

"If she hadn't failed to take good care of the child, how could the child be gone?"

"It must be because she doesn't do good things in her daily life, so this is the retribution for her child."

"The Wang family is really unlucky to marry her. She is a disaster."

When Zhao Fang heard this, she wanted to step forward and argue with them. They had already lost their child, and yet they were still saying these things. Do they have any sympathy at all?

As a mother, even if she herself dies, she would not want her child to suffer any harm. These words were like a knife stabbing Wang Dahua's heart.

We are from the same village. When something goes wrong, not only do they not comfort me, but they also say these sarcastic words. It's unlucky to be from the same village as them.

Lin Ru grabbed Zhao Fang, who was full of anger. This was not the time to quarrel. No matter what the reason was, they could not make a scene now.

Zhao Fang also knew these principles, but she just couldn't get angry.

Seeing that Zhao Fang was angry but unable to do anything, a few gossiping aunts looked at her smugly, as if they were laughing at her cowardice.
