Chapter 41
Tang Qingqing walked and stopped along the way. After climbing over a hill, she finally stopped under a big tree. She stopped running and kept circling nearby.
After winter comes, few people go here.
Compared to the village, the snow is thicker.
Moreover, this area is relatively flat, and the snow has accumulated to the ankles. The thicker the snow is, the bigger the pit will be if you step into it.
The heavy snow three days ago completely covered this area, and it was impossible to tell whether anyone had walked here before.
At this time, Wang Heizi, Wang Xiaotie and Wang Tiantian also followed.
Tang Qingqing's speed was not fast, but the other three followed her and soon caught up with her.
Wang Tiantian looked around, feeling a little worried.
"Why are you here? If you go further you will reach Lang'ao."
Although it is rare to see wild animals coming down the mountain now, it is still very dangerous deep in the forest.
In the place called Lang'ao, there used to be many wolves, who would come down the mountain from time to time to commit crimes.
Elderly people now like to use Wolf Hole to scare children, saying that if they don’t obey, they will be taken away by wolves.
This kind of thing happened frequently in the past. Not only children, but even adults did not dare to run too far alone, otherwise they would easily be taken away by wild animals hiding in the dark.
People in the mountains have a sense of awe for the deep forests. If Tang Qingqing and Zhai Hongyi hadn't come here, they wouldn't have run so far.
Wang Xiaotie also said: "We dare not go any further. It will be dangerous if we go any further. The old people in the village say that this area is very dangerous in winter. Even though there are not as many wild animals as before, there are still many in the deep mountains."
Zhai Hongyi: "Is this area usually not visited by many people?"
Wang Tiantian: "Yes, further ahead is Tiandong and Langao, which are very dangerous."
The reason why Tiandong Brigade is called this name is that there is a naturally formed cave near the village.
Some caves are underground, and if you step on them carelessly you may fall down.
The caves are very deep and winding.
If you fall in, there is no way you can be rescued. Your body will just remain under the cave and there is no way to rest in peace.
"There's nothing fun here, let's go back quickly."
Wang Xiaotie was afraid that they came from the city and didn't know the dangers of the mountains, so he thought it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
Zhai Hongyi: "We are here and will not go any further."
This area is indeed not dangerous. When it is not snowing, some people in the team will come here to chop firewood.
Wang Tiantian and Wang Xiaotie were not so insistent, they were just curious as to why they came here.
Wang Heizi said calmly, "Of course it's because there are traces of snow bugs here."
Wang Xiaotie was puzzled: "How do you know about snowworms? Why have we never heard of them?"
Seeing that the silly boy finally began to doubt, Wang Heizi explained calmly, "Of course I read it in a book. My dad bought me a lot of comic books, and one of the books mentioned snowworms."
Wang Tiantian and Wang Xiaotie had never been to school, so they had no idea that comic books were storybooks. They just thought that books were amazing, so they no longer had any doubts.
Wang Heizi deliberately said it was a comic strip because he thought that when the lie was exposed in the future, he could say that he didn't know those were made-up stories and thought they really existed in reality.
In this case, it wouldn't be considered as fooling my good friend... right?
Wang Heizi ran to Zhai Hongyi and asked, "Brother Yi, what should we do now?"
Zhai Hongyi looked at the thick layer of snow and realized that it would not be enough to just use branches to sweep the snow.
"We have to go back and get the shovel."
Wang Heizi patted his chest and said, "Leave this matter to us. The three of us will go back and get it now. You guys stay here and study it slowly."
Zhai Hongyi saw Tang Qingqing still wandering around, looking for clues, and nodded:
"Go back and get the shovels and spades. Be careful on the road."
"Don't worry!"
Wang Heizi ran away with brother and sister Wang Xiaotie and Wang Tiantian.
Zhai Hongyi saw her stand up straight, then stepped forward and asked, "How is it, did you find anything?"
"The footprints stop here."
"What's so special about these footprints?"
There must be a reason why Tang Qingqing is chasing after these footprints.
"Cao Liang's footprints are not consistent with his weight. They are deeper than ordinary footprints."
Zhai Hongyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean, he is carrying a burden?"
Tang Qingqing nodded: "And he's not light. He probably weighs more than 110 kilograms, but this set of footprints shows that he weighs at least 200 kilograms."
"Two hundred kilograms? There's a chance he's carrying someone on his back." Zhai Hongyi was cautious and didn't say anything definite, but he already thought so in his heart.
"According to Uncle Song's description of Wang Xianghong, about 200 kilograms is consistent with the combined weight of the two people."
Tang Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "Why would he go there without telling Wang Xianghong? This forest doesn't lead to the train station, nor is it the way out of the village."
Zhai Hongyi also half-knelt down to observe the ground, occasionally pushing away the thick layer of snow with his hands.
Looking around the tree, we also found the problem.
“This area has been cleaned before.”
Although the ground was covered again because of the previous snowfall, the difference can be seen if you look closely.
But the snow was too thick, and if we wanted to know what was going on underneath, we had to use tools to clean the snow away.
Wang Heizi took Wang Tiantian and Wang Xiaotie, skipping and humming a little tune, back to the village to get the shovel and iron shovel.
Before I reached the village entrance, I saw Cao Liang coming towards me.
Cao Liang frowned: "It's so cold, why are you still walking around outside? Aren't you afraid of freezing?"
Wang Tiantian replied: "Uncle, we are looking for snowworms."
"Snowworms? What are those?"
Wang Xiaotie: "Uncle, you don't even know what a snow bug is? It's a kind of bug that makes your whole body cool when you put it on your body. If you have such a bug, working in the summer won't be so hot."
"How can there be such a bug? This is nonsense."
Wang Heizi took the initiative to explain: "That's what the book says. We will find it soon. You will know whether there is such a bug later."
"What book is it written in?"
Wang Xiaotie: "Comic strip!"
Cao Liang frowned even more when he heard this: "That's all made up stories. There's no such thing as snow bugs."
Wang Heizi was unhappy, and said with his hands on his hips: "Yes, there must be one. Just wait and see, I will catch it and show it to you later!"
Cao Liang ignored him and looked at Wang Tiantian and said:
"I just saw you guys coming over the valley. Are you guys going there to play?"
Wang Tiantian lowered her head and avoided his gaze.
Cao Liang was very angry: "How can you kids be so brave? Is that a place you can go? Go home quickly. If I see you go there again, I will beat you up."
Wang Xiaotie said weakly: "Uncle, we didn't go too deep."
"That won't work either. Go home and don't come out again."
Wang Heizi pulled Wang Xiaotie and Wang Tiantian back and said, "Okay, okay, let's go home now."
After running away, Wang Xiaotie asked: "Now that we are back home, what about Brother Yi and the others?"
Wang Heizi looked as if he was stupid: "We just tricked him. We're going home to get the shovel now. How can he still stay there and stare at us?"
Wang Xiaotie and Wang Tiantian were both honest children. They had never been so hypocritical before, so they were a little worried.
Wang Tiantian: "But what if we get discovered? We will definitely be scolded to death."
"What are you afraid of? I'm here for you." Wang Heizi patted his chest.
"Do you have any close friends? You can borrow a shovel or iron shovel from them."
Wang Xiaotie and Wang Tiantian took Wang Heizi to the village to borrow tools from someone. The person from whom they borrowed the tools asked a casual question, and they just said that they were useful, and the other party did not ask any further questions.
It’s just that other children also wanted to go out together, but were stopped by the adults at home.
Why are you running around outside in the middle of winter? It will be troublesome if you get sick.
"The Wang family is really careless. They let the child run around outside in such a cold weather. Look at his frozen face."
The three men had just run out of the village not far with the shovels and shovels when Cao Liang suddenly appeared from behind a big tree, looking at them with a frown, his eyes fixed on the shovels and shovels in their hands.
“Uncle…”
Wang Xiaotie and Wang Tiantian subconsciously hid the tools in their hands behind their bodies, but they were not as tall as the shovels and iron shovels, so they could not stop it at all.
"What are you doing with shovels and shovels?"
Wang Heizi quickly replied, "We are going to dig holes and catch rabbits. We just saw wild rabbits on the mountain."
Wang Xiaotie and Wang Tiantian were stunned. They didn't understand why Wang Heizi lied, but they tacitly didn't say anything.
"Really?"
Cao Liang's eyes swept over Wang Xiaotie and Wang Tiantian.
The two children nodded. They would not spoil the show for their friends.
"Didn't I just tell you to go home? Why did you run out? I told you that the hilltop was dangerous and you couldn't go there. Why didn't you listen?"
Wang Xiaotie and Wang Tiantian lowered their heads and said nothing. They were both honest people, and if someone hadn't taken the lead, they wouldn't have caused such a commotion.
Wang Heizi smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, we know our limits. We're just going out for fun. Even in the city I can't run around the mountains like I do now. It's very rare."
"It's so cold, what if I get frozen? I have no idea what to do."
"Let's just play for a while."
"Play for a while? You are wearing thick clothes, so you don't feel cold. Look at Wang Tiantian's face and hands, they are frozen purple."
Wang Heizi then noticed that the clothes on Wang Xiaotie and Wang Tiantian were indeed very thin. Their jackets were so old that the cotton inside was probably clumped together. They were not as good as his brand new large cotton jacket.
Wang Xiaotie was fine, but Wang Tiantian's face was red from the cold and her nose was running from time to time.
They just wanted to accompany their older brothers and sisters who came from the city and let them have fun, so they didn't say anything even though they felt cold.
王黑子頓時心生內疚，他們雖然是地下黨，所做的一切是為人民服務，可也不能在這個過程中讓人民受委屈啊。
“對不住，我都沒注意。”
王小鐵和王甜甜連連擺手。
“沒事，我們不冷。”
“跑一跑就暖和了。”
看他們這個樣子，王黑子心裏反倒更不好受了。
曹亮見狀道： “趕緊回家吧。”
王黑子哪裏能走，翟弘毅和唐青青還在山裏頭等着他們呢，可讓王小鐵和王甜甜還跟着他們在外頭溜達确實也不合适。
曹亮這時候開口詢問：“你們不是有五個人嗎？還有兩個呢？”
王黑子正糾結着，也沒注意曹亮的問話。
王甜甜：“他們都在山裏頭等着我們呢。”
“山裏頭？你們帶他們去了狼坳？”
“沒到狼坳，就翻過一座山，在小平地那棵大樹那。”
曹亮的聲音微微沉了下來：“你們去那幹什麽？”
王黑子這時候已經回過神：“我們追野兔追到那的，我們心裏有分寸，不會往深處跑的。”
曹亮就這麽直直地盯着他們，王甜甜莫名感到有些害怕，縮到了王小鐵身後。
“你們現在還不回家？”
王小鐵弱弱開口：“我們一會就會回去的。”
曹亮沉默了好一會，才開口道：“你們先到我家喝點姜茶暖暖身體，再這麽下去，你們非被凍着不可。”
正在這時，一陣涼風吹過，王甜甜結結實實地打了個噴嚏。
王黑子原本要拒絕的話，頓時說不出口，也就同意先去曹亮家喝點姜茶再說。
唐青青和翟弘毅在大樹下等了半天，也沒有看到王黑子三人回來。
唐青青在原地小跑，不停地哈氣搓手：“他們怎麽那麽慢，早知道咱們也一塊回去。”
之前一直把注意力放在追蹤上，而且不停地移動，并不感覺到冷，現在停下來什麽也不幹，就感受到冷意了。
翟弘毅将脖子上厚厚的圍巾摘了下來，裹在唐青青的脖子上。
熱氣一下子将唐青青包裹住，整個人都暖了不少。
和很多臭烘烘的男孩子不同，翟弘毅的圍巾透着淡淡的香皂味。
唐青青連忙扯圍巾，被翟弘毅攔住了。
“別亂扯，回頭你病了，老頭兒非揍我不可。”
唐青青知道他說的是老劉頭：“我師父才不會這麽不講理呢，你給了我你可怎麽辦？”
“我的衣服比你厚實多了，而且我火力也比你旺。”
翟弘毅穿的是現在的人最為羨慕的軍大衣，軍大衣保暖性特別好，而且非常的長能把人給團團包裹住。
王黑子每次看到翟弘毅的軍大衣，眼睛都冒着綠光，幻象着自己啥時候也能搞到一件，這輩子都圓滿了。
圍脖是翟弘毅奶奶織的，老人家一片心意，所以翟弘毅雖然沒覺得有多冷，卻也一直戴着。
唐青青确實覺得自己有些被凍着，也就沒有扭捏，接受了這份好意：“哥，謝謝你。”
“你都叫我一聲哥了，這點算什麽。”
唐青青不禁笑了起來，她現在體驗到了那本書上所寫的被哥哥寵着的感覺了。
若說她對那本書的自己完全沒有感覺，那未免就假了。
對于裏面的親情她是向往的，誰又不喜歡自己被寵着呢？
只是覺得和現實割裂，所以才沒有那種想要立刻回家，獲得這些情感的沖動。
因為她覺得，劇情已經發生了改變，自己的重新回歸也不會那麽簡單地将劇情掰回來，她有更加現實的考量。
“你要是實在無聊，我出道題給你做一做吧。”
唐青青：……
她雖然很喜歡讀書，可也沒有這麽見縫插針。
唐青青清了清嗓子：“我們還是說一說這個案子吧。”
“王向紅應該兇多吉少了。”翟弘毅說出自己的這個猜測。
雖然現在沒有什麽實質性的證據，可種種線索上看，都讓人覺得不容樂觀。
“剛才在曹亮家中，我在窗臺上看到一瓶雪花膏，看樣子還很新。”
唐青青回想了一下，好像确實有，不過她并沒有太在意，注意力都被縫紉機給吸引走了。
“有雪花膏又說明什麽呢？”
“如果王向紅如同曹亮所說的，有預謀地私奔，又或者回娘家，在收拾行李的時候，肯定會帶上雪花膏擦臉。她什麽都沒有帶，不符合一個女人出遠門的習慣。”
唐青青從來沒有塗過雪花膏，在書裏雖然寫着，可這種小細節也不會太在意。
冬天在外頭風吹日曬，如果臉上不擦東西，很容易被凍裂。
往年唐青青要出門放羊，臉就被凍得很難看，鼻涕也容易止不住地流。
今年不需要放羊，臉部的情況就好了不少，還把自己養白了。
從屋子裏的布置上看，王向紅是個生活很講究和精致的人，村民對她的描述也證明了這一點。
她既然買了雪花膏，也就不會忘記用來擦臉，出遠門肯定也會記得帶上。
種種表現都可以證明，王向紅沒有逃跑，也沒有坐上車回娘家。
可現在人不見了，還曾經被曹亮背到了這裏，這一切線索的指向，讓人不禁心生不好的預感。
翟弘毅用手将地上的雪稍微清理了一下，可以看得出下面的土是新掩埋過的。
“這裏确實被人動過。”
唐青青心裏咯噔了一下，艱難地咽了咽口水：“哥，你是說這地下不會是……”
翟弘毅看了看手表，不禁皺起了眉頭。
“我們先回去吧。”
“那這裏怎麽辦？”
“一會再過來，王黑子他們耽擱時間太久了。”
王黑子這個人雖然經常不靠譜，可只要是交代了任務，他就會積極地去完成。
現在半天沒回來，讓翟弘毅有種不詳的預感。
他不敢再耽擱，帶着唐青青先回去再說。
才剛走了兩步，翟弘毅全身都緊繃了。
唐青青察覺到他的不對勁：“哥，怎麽了……啊——”
翟弘毅突然撞開唐青青，唐青青直接飛了幾米遠，
人還沒落地，唐青青就聽到了‘砰——’的炮仗聲。
要不是地上有雪墊着，估計骨頭都能被這股力量撞折了，可有雪她也好不到哪裏去，全身生疼。
“砰、砰——”又是兩聲。
唐青青再遲鈍也聽出來了，這哪裏是炮仗聲，分明就是槍聲！
哪裏來的槍聲？
唐青青慌忙地連滾帶爬，往一旁的大石頭那邊滾去，用那塊大石頭當做自己的掩護。
蹲在石頭、确保自己安全後，她才抽出空來觀察到底發生了什麽事。
此時的翟弘毅正一邊跑一邊利用一旁的樹木作為掩體，沖着槍聲來源處奔跑。
他雖然很高大，可動作非常靈敏。
唐青青瞪大眼，緊張地盯着他看。
翟弘毅身上并沒有看到傷，這讓唐青青舒了一口氣。
而且唐青青發現，她剛才站的地方，身後那棵樹上有個槍眼，槍的威力很大，把樹皮都給炸了。
這應該是獵戶用的□□，用來打大型動物的，殺傷力非常的強。
這種槍應該比較老，打一發就要停一下裝子彈。
翟弘毅就是趁着這個空隙在朝着開槍人奔跑，又是‘砰——’的一聲，翟弘毅站的那棵樹被綻開了花，還有碎末飛濺到他的臉上。
唐青青捂住嘴，才沒有讓自己叫出聲來。
她在石頭後面，視線還是被阻擋住了。
只看得清翟弘毅趁着打槍人換彈夾的空隙，從樹後沖了出去，并且将手裏的石頭猛地砸了過去。
“啊——”
唐青青聽到一聲慘叫聲，随即就看到翟弘毅又是一個沖刺然後猛撲，兩人距離有二十多米，依然清楚地聽到拳頭落在人身上的聲音。
慘叫聲響徹林間，唐青青在石頭後面着急不已，不知道到底是什麽情況。
她左右看了看，在地上看到一根木棒，連忙抓起來也朝着那裏沖過去。
她在跑的時候，也不忘用樹木作為自己的掩體，不敢沒頭沒腦地亂沖，否則自己不是幫忙而是拖後腿了。
聲音越來越近，唐青青捏着木棒往前沖，然後很快剎住了車。
翟弘毅正騎在一個人的身上，揮着拳頭往他臉上猛砸，地上掉落一杆□□。
唐青青連忙溜過去，将□□撿了起來背在自己身後，并且看到了那個朝着他們開槍的人。
“曹亮？！”
“這狗東西，竟然想要殺死我們！王向紅肯定是遇害了！”
翟弘毅表情惡狠狠的，揮向曹亮的拳頭特別重，曹亮此時已經發不出聲音來了，臉上血肉模糊。
唐青青連忙阻止他：“哥，別打了，再打就把他給打死了！”
這樣的人雖然死不足惜，可他們也不能動用私刑，還是得交給法律制裁他。
翟弘毅啐了一口，終于停了下來，他鞋子的鞋帶拆了下來，用一種特殊的方式将曹亮的手給背捆起來。
然後才從地上站起來，并且将曹亮提了起來。
曹亮此時已經被打暈了，嘴裏的牙齒都落了不少，眼睛全都腫了。
“還好我們命大，否則就交代在這了。”翟弘毅嗤道。
他們剛才的距離并不算遠，要不是曹亮槍法不行，他反應再快也根本來不及。
這支□□的威力很大，雖然依照角度只能打中唐青青的肩膀，可會把她半邊肩膀都炸掉，脖子的大動脈也極為危險。
唐青青其實對剛才一幕反倒沒啥感覺，因為她還沒反應就被翟弘毅推開了。
後來曹亮都是沖着翟弘毅來的，并沒有理會她，所以雖然心底緊張，卻遠不如翟弘毅一樣直面危險的緊迫。
如果剛才翟弘毅出事了，她肯定也活不成了。
她現在的體質面對一個成年男性，不管是打還是跑，都難以抵抗，何況對方還有槍。
唐青青回想剛才種種，心有餘悸。
“黑子他們沒來，不會是被發現出了什麽事吧！”
曹亮竟然跟了過來，還帶着□□，說明已經懷疑上他們了。
他對他們動手，會不會對王黑子他們也動了手！要不然他們怎麽遲遲沒來！
唐青青全身發冷，唇齒都在打顫。
翟弘毅臉色也不好看，用手掐着曹亮的人中，好一會曹亮緩緩醒來。
“王甜甜他們呢！你把他們怎麽樣了！”
曹亮艱難地睜開被打腫的雙眼，聽到翟弘毅的話，扯出了一抹笑。
那笑容看得唐青青忍不住也踹了兩腳：“你把他們怎麽樣了！”
曹亮閉着眼睛不吭聲，一副你愛怎麽着怎麽着的模樣，在做着無聲的抵抗。
翟弘毅怒不可遏，又給他來了一拳，然後踹着他往回走。
曹亮走得很慢，唐青青急得不行：
“哥，我先跑回去看看吧。”
翟弘毅也很害怕出事，可讓唐青青一個人跑回去，他是絕對不能答應的。
之前他就因為太自以為是，沒預計危險讓王黑子他們身陷險境，現在怎麽也不能再讓唐青青出事了。
“不行，我們得一塊走。”
翟弘毅将曹亮的袖子拉起來，不知道按在哪裏，曹亮發出慘叫聲。
“趕緊走，否則我讓你比死還難受！”
被教訓了幾次，曹亮終于老實了，速度比之前快了不少。
一路走回村，并沒有看到三個孩子的屍體，這讓翟弘毅和唐青青稍稍舒了一口氣。
他們沒有在村外被害，那就還有活着的希望。
在村子裏曹亮不敢放槍，否則肯定會引來大家的關注，那他們就還有逃脫的機會。
臨近村子，翟弘毅這才讓唐青青去村子裏找人，并且将派出所給的證明交給了她。
翟弘毅則押着曹亮前往曹亮家中，順便看看那裏有沒有王黑子幾人的蹤影。
唐青青急匆匆跑回村子，先跑回家找王大山，大致講了他們差點被曹亮打死的事，然後也不等他反應就拉着他去找了大隊長。
唐青青看到大隊長，直接将自己的介紹信拿了出來。
“我們是來調查關于王向紅同志失蹤的案子的，現在已經把嫌疑人曹亮抓住，他剛才還對我們開了槍，要不是我們躲閃比較快，現在就被打死了。”
這一串話把大隊長和王大山全都給炸懵了，要不是大隊長看介紹信上的公章是真的，還以為這是小孩子瞎胡鬧呢。
“鄉裏派出所的老所長也可以給我們證明，現在你們趕緊找人去找王甜甜他們。他們本來是回來拿鐵鏟鐵鍬的，可是現在完全不見了蹤影。”
大隊長雖然難以置信，可還是召集了人，一塊前往曹亮的家。
王大山整個人都是懵的，他只知道自己的兩個孩子有危險，臉都吓白了，沖得比誰都快。
“查案怎麽讓你們幾個小娃娃過來呢，這不是瞎胡鬧嗎。”
大隊長一路小跑，一路忍不住埋怨。
唐青青現在也急得快哭了，他們一心想要查案，壓根沒有預估過危險。
明明察覺到了不對勁，也不知道先回村子裏找人，非要自己挖，現在闖了大禍了！
如果他們不分開，他們三個人不會出事。
被叫過來的人只聽到了只字片語，就知道曹亮是個殺人犯，全都震驚無比。
曹亮那人怎麽可能會殺人呢？
他長得斯斯文文的，平常說話聲音都比普通男人要細要軟，不管遇到什麽事，都不會生氣發怒，怎麽可能會殺人呢？
他可是大隊裏公認的老實人，沒結婚之前，多少姑娘都喜歡他。
“是不是搞錯了啊？”有人忍不住道。
唐青青沒有閑工夫解釋，她現在只想快一點跑到曹亮家，尋找王黑子他們的蹤影。
當一群人就要沖進曹亮家的院子，被唐青青給叫住了。
“停！你們不能進去！”
唐青青連忙攔在門口。
大隊長不高興：“你這是幹啥呢？”
唐青青還沒回答，翟弘毅聽到動靜就把曹亮押出來了。
大家夥看到曹亮被打得凄慘，都不禁倒吸一口氣。
有那曹亮的親戚看到，不禁道：“你們咋能打人呢，說他殺了人，你們有證據嗎？”
“要不是剛才我們躲得快，我腦袋已經搬家了。”
翟弘毅将那把□□扔到一行人面前，“這是他剛才用來打我們的。”
曹亮看到大隊長，頓時哭了起來：
“大隊長，我冤枉啊，我剛才去山裏，我以為那是狼，所以才開槍的啊。他們非說我殺了人，我怎麽可能會殺人呢。”
唐青青沒想到已經到了這個地步，曹亮還敢狡辯。
王大山沖了過來，揪住曹亮的領子。
“我兩個孩子呢？”
“他們這些孩子跑天洞那邊玩去了，我之前看他們往那邊跑就很擔心出事，後來看半天沒回來，就跑過去看情況。結果就被這只看到兩個外鄉人回來，另外三個小的都不見了！”
曹亮門牙打沒了，說話都漏風，可還是思路清晰地将事情經過說了清楚。
天洞大隊是有些排外的，對外界不太信任，更相信自己村落裏的人。
尤其曹亮在村子裏的風評一直很不錯，聽到這些話，目光看向唐青青和翟弘毅時候，都充滿了懷疑。
翟弘毅一看就是個不老實的刺頭，就像是那種喜歡惹事的。
至于唐青青，她就是個丫頭片子，反倒沒有引起大家的注意。
唐青青也并沒有把注意力放在和曹亮對峙上，現在最重要的就是找到王黑子他們。
時間很短，不管王黑子他們是否遇害，曹亮應該沒有太多時間将他們轉移走。
一路上沒有看到異樣，也沒有看到打鬥的痕跡，說明很大可能不是在路上動手的。
王黑子三個人雖然年紀都不大，可都是鄉村裏的孩子，腿腳利索且機靈。
曹亮也不是那種膀大腰圓的人，他想要制服三個人，如果不開槍，也是要經過一番撕扯，肯定會留下打鬥痕跡的。
如果在村子裏動手，也很容易被人發現，因此極有可能是将他們引誘到他自己家中下手。
屋子裏沒有他們三人的身影，卻也應該不會距離太遠，不管生死都應該還在附近。
唐青青趁着大家在對峙中，溜進院子裏尋找蹤跡。
院子裏布滿他們幾個人的腳印，唐青青在分辨是否都是之前留下的，還是會有後來留下的。
很快她就察覺到了異樣，她跑到了一個裝滿雪的木桶前。
木桶裏的雪應該是之前王黑子他們做的雪人，雪人此時已經只剩下底座，其他部位都在木桶裏。
這裏原來并沒有木桶！是後來挪到這裏來的！
唐青青想将木桶挪開，可這木桶非常大，使出吃奶的力氣也就挪開了一點點。
“哥，你快過來。”
翟弘毅一直注意她那邊的情況，見狀直接将曹亮扔給一旁的大隊長。
讓唐青青靠邊站，自己将那大雪桶挪開，露出了地窖的木門。
翟弘毅連忙将地窖門打開，就看到了裏面躺着三個人，一動不動。
翟弘毅的血都涼了，“王黑子！”
唐青青直接癱軟在地面上：“甜甜，小鐵！”
王大山聽到自己孩子的名字，也不管曹亮親戚找他要說法，連忙沖了過來。
看到地窖下的情形，差點當場直接跳了進去。
他穩住心神，連忙找來梯子進入地窖。
他顫着手将手指放在三人的動脈上，頓時叫了出來，“活着，還活着！”
王大山連忙将三個孩子一一送出去，三人身上只有一些擦傷，表明并沒有看到致命傷，卻都昏迷着。
“咋都昏過去了？”
翟弘毅想到什麽，連忙吼道：
“大家快散開，讓他們呼吸新鮮空氣，趕緊找車子把他們運到衛生站！”
大隊長連忙指揮，很快将地方空了出來，又有人跑去拉驢車。
有那機靈的人，跑進屋子裏拿出被子鋪在地上，讓三個孩子不至于躺在雪地裏。
翟弘毅：“把他們都放平，解開領口和褲腰帶。”
大家不知道為什麽要這麽幹，可那語氣讓人都很重視，都按照他說的去做。
翟弘毅看了唐青青一眼：“你跟着我學，一會給王甜甜做。”
唐青青連連點頭。
翟弘毅将王黑子的下颌托起，捏住他的鼻孔，深吸一口氣，就要往他的口部壓下去。
The crowd of onlookers all gasped, what on earth was going on?
Tang Qingqing was also stunned, but she did as he said.
Wang Dashan, who was in charge of Wang Xiaotie, was no exception. But before he could finish his words, a slight cough was heard.
As soon as Wang Heizi regained consciousness, he saw Zhai Hongyi's enlarged face pressing towards him, and he was scared to death.
"Brother Yi! Don't eat me!"
Zhai Hongyi had just taken a deep breath, and was almost choked to death by this sudden blow.
Wang Tiantian and Wang Xiaotie also opened their eyes, only to feel dizzy and not understand what had happened.
"What's wrong with us?"
Zhai Hongyi sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes red.
Wang Heizi just felt a headache, but when he saw Zhai Hongyi's expression, he actually laughed.
"Brother Yi, you are not crying for me because you think I am going to die, right?"
Zhai Hongyi rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.
Tang Qingqing hugged Wang Tiantian and burst into tears.
"Tiantian, I'm so glad that you're okay. It's all my fault, wuwuwu..."
Wang Tiantian was still in a daze. It took her a while to react and she also burst into tears.
Wang Xiaotie felt sad when he saw his father's nervous face and red eyes.
In the past, I always felt that his father didn't care about them as much as his mother did, and he just worked hard all day long.
Now I know that he loves them very much, but he is not good at expressing it.
"Dad, I'm fine."
Wang Dashan turned his face to the side and forced back the tears in his eyes.
"It's all right, it's all right."
Seeing that the three children were fine, everyone in the team breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Liang, who had been ignored, was pulled over again.
The captain's face was sullen, and he no longer had the good temper he had just shown:
"What is going on!"
Cao Liang glanced at them calmly and said, "They were just having fun and went to the cellar. I didn't know they were in there."
Wang Heizi had recovered by now and angrily said, "You are lying! It was you who lured us in there and then threw Tiantian in!"
It turned out that Cao Liang brought the three people back to the house, saying that he wanted to make brown sugar ginger tea for Wang Tiantian.
When he was about to cook, Cao Liang suddenly said that the ginger in the kitchen was out of stock and he had to get it from the cellar, so he asked Wang Xiaotie to get it.
Wang Xiaotie didn't doubt anything and went down to the cellar.
Wang Heizi was a little smarter, but he didn't notice anything. He just accompanied him and guarded the cellar door.
As a result, after Wang Xiaotie went down, Wang Heizi was also kicked in, and soon Wang Tiantian was thrown down as well.
Then Cao Liang took away the ladder and covered the cellar.
Wang Heizi relied on his agility. The cellar was only two meters away from the cave entrance, and the cellar entrance was made of stones, making it easier to climb, so he climbed to the cellar entrance.
As a result, the entrance to the cellar was blocked and could not be opened at all.
The three people inside were shouting for help, but there was no movement outside.
“We don’t know what happened, but we passed out and when we woke up we saw you,” said Wang Heizi.
Zhai Hongyi: "You are suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. Although you are awake now, you still need to go to the hospital."
"What, what, what poisoning? We didn't eat anything."
Wang Heizi looked confused, and the others were not much better.
"The cellar has not been opened for a long time. It is filled with a bad gas called carbon monoxide, which can cause poisoning. You are lucky. The cellar should have been opened before, so the carbon monoxide concentration is not particularly high. Otherwise, you would have been dead by now after staying there for such a long time."
Zhai Hongyi clenched his fists tightly. Although he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he did not relax at all.
This was his mistake, he was too self-righteous.
The surrounding villagers understood what was said and decided to hang a candle in any cellar that had not been opened for a long time.
If it is extinguished, people cannot enter. They have to wait until the candles hung in can still be lit before they can enter. Otherwise, they will die inside.
These are the experiences passed down by everyone, but many people don’t understand why this is the case.
In the past, there were people in the village who didn't pay attention to these things and went directly into the cellar, and then never came out again.
Seeing that the two children were fine, Wang Dashan stood up and punched Cao Liang directly.
Now there was no one to stop them, and everyone was eager to draw a clear line between themselves and Cao Liang.
"The kids call you uncle, and I usually call you brother. How can you be so cruel!"
Wang Dashan was angry and scared. If they had come too late, his child would definitely be gone!
This time, Cao Liang did not try to make excuses like before. He hung his head and looked half-dead, just like when Zhai Hongyi kicked him back before.
Some people who came later couldn't understand: "What on earth is going on? How did it become like this?"
Both Wang Dashan and Cao Liang are well-known honest people in the brigade.
How did it get to this point? Cao Liang almost took the lives of two children. This is too cruel.
Then he heard from the people in front that Cao Liang was chasing two foreigners with a rifle, and he was even more shocked.
"Is Cao Liang crazy?"
"Is it because your wife ran away that your mind is not clear anymore?"
"You can't do such a thing when your wife has run away."
"Hey, it's not easy for him either. Both my mother and my wife ran away. Anyone would be crazy."
Tang Qingqing couldn't listen any longer and said in a sharp voice: "Wang Xianghong didn't run away, he was killed by Cao Liang. We found where he buried the body, so he wanted to kill us all."
