Hang yourself at the beginning, empty the family and go to the countryside

"What's wrong? What happened so early in the morning?" Xiao Aimin was also shocked when he heard this.

Their team just had an incident and they are angry, so they don’t want to cause any more trouble.

Wiping the sweat from his face with his hand, Xiao Aimin asked nervously.

Could it be that weirdo really caused some trouble?

The man ran up to him and stood in front of him. He was a young man in his twenties from the same tribe. His clothes were a little worn, with patches on his shoulders and elbows.

Maybe he was tired from running. After stopping, he put his hands on his waist, slightly hunched over, panting, closed his eyes, swallowed hard, and then spoke: "There's a beggar in our village. He looks, how should I put it, like a ghost. I don't know why, but he scared me. I'm almost dying!"

Xiao Aimin's eyes widened. He finally threw aside the carrying pole he had been clutching since he was talking to Qian Huan. He raised his voice, "What did you say? Why did you scare uncle? What's going on?"

"Fourth Uncle, go check it out. It's said that Grandpa went out for a walk, and just as he opened the door, he saw that man at the door, and he got scared.

That beggar took advantage of the chaos and ran into the mountains. Now everyone in the village is shouting that they want to go into the mountains to look for him, saying they'll beat him to death if they find him!"

Xiao Aimin was also anxious. "Let's go, hurry up, go and see what's going on."

As the two talked, their movements became faster and faster.

When people around saw them like this, some of them followed them directly.

It didn't take long before we arrived at the old man's home.

This person's surname is also Xiao, and he and Xiao Aimin are from the same family, but they have been separated for so many years that they are a bit distant.

According to seniority, Xiao Aimin has to call the old man "uncle".

This man is in his early eighties. He has endured the long braids, the simple life, and the white dog. He is the oldest man in the village and has the highest seniority.

He joined the team very early and was considered an old revolutionary. During the holidays, the leaders of the commune would come here to visit him.

He is usually in good health and is cheerful all day long. He tells everyone he meets that life is good now and he hopes to live a few more years to enjoy a peaceful life.

Who knew that I would encounter something like this when I’m so old?

The old man lay flat on the kang, breathing out more than he breathed in.

The barefoot doctor in the village was giving acupuncture to an old man with a silver needle.

I hope a miracle happens.

The family members were sobbing and wiping their tears, and some were packing the old man's clothes.

This is an old custom here. When someone passes away, they have to change into new clothes. This is very important.

Xiao Aimin walked forward, took a look, and called out "Uncle" several times.

The old man's cloudy eyes took a long time to focus. He looked at Xiao Aimin for a long time, and seemed to finally recognize the person in front of him, and smiled.

When his family members saw him like this, they thought he was getting better.

Finally, the old man mumbled, "Dad, you came to pick me up? Why did you come just now? I missed you so much!"

I don’t recognize anyone anymore!

These words made the children around him burst into tears again: "Dad, my dear dad!"

A man next to him, who was almost sixty years old, had snot and tears all over his face.

Seeing Xiao Aimin coming, he stumbled forward, grabbed Xiao Aimin's hand and cried even harder: "Old Four, you have to avenge my father, you have to catch him for me!"

Xiao Aimin felt the strength of his cousin's hand, and with a bit of grief on his face, he nodded heavily: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely have people search the mountain and find him.

I also contacted the commune police, and they arrived soon. We are sure we can find this person."

As the two were talking, a cry of surprise came from the other side: "Dad..."

"grandfather……"

The ending tone was high and long, and my cousin's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, muttering, "Dad..."

Xiao Aimin hurried to help the person, but he couldn't lift him up.

The family members over there also began to wipe their tears and change the old man's clothes.

But several of the grandchildren lay on top of the old man and prevented him from moving.

"My grandfather is still alive. You can't touch him. Don't touch him. Let me go. Let me go..."

"Grandpa, open your eyes and look at me, Grandpa..."

"Dad, Dad, please don't go..."

The old man's descendants surrounded him and wailed in a shrill voice.

The neighbors who were close to the family also shed tears.

"What a disaster! Who is so heartless?"

"Oh, Grandpa, this is so unlucky!"

……

Amidst the wailing, everyone helped to change clothes and get everything ready.

There was another cry coming from far away, and someone came in crying: "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you? Dad, Dad..."

"Grandpa..."

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down in front of the old man.

It turned out to be the family of the married eldest daughter.

Then the other three daughters who were married also came one after another!

The militia was also busy and began a large-scale search of the mountains. The police from the commune also joined in the search.

It's just strange. Logically speaking, this person's features are so obvious that he should be easy to identify.

It should be very easy to find.

But the result was like a drop in the ocean, never to return.

There was no trace of him at all, as if he had simply evaporated from the face of the earth.

Even though the person has not been found, the old man’s funeral arrangements still need to be handled.

According to the rules, the body should be kept for three days.

The old man’s children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, filial sons and grandchildren were all guarding by his side.

Relatives, in-laws, friends and neighbors from near and far also came to pay their respects.

For a moment, there was a lot of noise and confusion.

Something happened in just these three days.

After the old man's funeral was over, everyone discovered that no one had been seen in the house in the old man's backyard for several days.

Someone found Xiao Aimin and told him about this.

Xiao Aimin scratched his head; he had a headache.

I wondered if something had happened again.

He quickly quickened his pace and found the scorekeeper: "What's going on with He Laoxi's family? They said they haven't come to work for several days?"

Without even flipping through the booklet in his hand, the scorekeeper replied with a strange expression, "They said a relative's wedding was coming up, and they asked the whole family to go, so they took three days off."

Xiao Aimin put the pipe he had just pulled out from his waist back.

Puzzlement flashed across his face: "Three days off, why didn't you tell me?"

The scorekeeper lowered his head and crushed the grass beneath his feet guiltily. "He begged me not to tell you, saying it would only be three days. He came back to work three days later. I figured he was usually pretty proactive, so I thought he really had something going on this time, so I didn't tell him."

Xiao Aimin didn't know what to say. He nodded at the little girl and said, "You're amazing. You didn't even say anything about this. If something serious happened, would you know? Their family all came here to escape famine. They don't have any relatives here!"

After saying that, he left the scorer with a puzzled look on his face and walked quickly towards He Laoxi's house.

When you meet someone on the road, just invite them to join you.

Arriving at He Laoxi's house, Xiao Aimin knocked on the door vigorously: "Laoxi, Laoxi, are you home?"

No response.

Xiao Aimin directly pointed at a young man: "You, climb over the wall and take a look to see what's going on."

The man nodded: "Okay, Fourth Uncle."

Then, he took a few running steps and jumped up. First, he climbed up the wall with his arms, then swung his right leg up with force, and finally sat on the wall.

Finally, he climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

It wasn't long before the door was opened from the inside.

There was nothing unusual in the yard except for some loose soil.

When Xiao Aimin saw this, something flashed in his eyes and he shouted, "Don't move, get out, get out, something might have happened."

Then he pulled the militia captain along, and the two of them entered the house very carefully.

When walking, pay attention to your feet and avoid places where there may be footprints.

The two men leaned over the crack of the door and looked into the room, both with faces full of horror.
