"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 still. He was a young man in his twenties from the Qi ethnic group. His clothes were a little worn, with patches on his shoulders and elbows.
Perhaps 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. The elder, how should I put it, the elder looks like a ghost. I don't know what happened, but he scared me. I'm almost dying!"
Xiao Aimin's eyes widened. He had been clutching the shoulder pole in his hand since he was talking to Qian Huan, but now it was finally thrown aside. He raised his voice, "What did you say? Why did you scare uncle? What happened?"
"Fourth Uncle, go check it out. They say 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 that if they find him, they will beat him to death!"
Xiao Aimin was also anxious. "Let's go, hurry up, go and see what's going on."
As the two talked, their footsteps moved faster and faster.
When the people around saw them like this, some of them followed them directly.
After a while, 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 dog. He is the oldest man in the village and the one with the highest seniority.
He joined the team very early and was considered an old revolutionary. During festivals, the leaders of the commune would come here to visit him.
He is usually in good health and 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 would have thought that when I'm so old, I'd encounter something like this.
The old man lay flat on the kang, breathing out more than breathing 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 a few of them 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 around him 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 people anymore!
As soon as he said this, the children around him burst into tears again: "Dad, my dear dad!"
Next to him was a man in his late sixties, his face covered with snot and tears.
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 eldest cousin's men, 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 quickly. 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 man, but he couldn't lift him up.
The family members over there also began to wipe their tears while changing 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 and his descendants surrounded him and wailed in a shrill voice.
The neighbors and close relatives around also shed tears.
