"What a disaster! Who is this heartless person?"
"Oh, Grandpa, this is so unlucky!"
…
Amidst the cries of grief, everyone helped to change clothes and prepare a bed.
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 got married came one after another!
The militiamen were also busy, and began a large-scale search of the mountain. 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 hasn't 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, his children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, filial sons and grandsons were all guarding beside him.
Relatives, in-laws, friends and neighbors from far and near 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 his backyard for several days.
Someone went to see 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 looked for 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 of theirs was getting married, and they asked the whole family to go, so they took three days off."
Xiao Aimin had just pulled out a pipe from his waist and put it back.
Puzzlement flashed across his face: "Three days off, why didn't you tell me?"
The scorekeeper lowered his head, feeling guilty as he crushed the grass beneath his feet. "He begged me not to tell you, saying it would only be three days, and then he started working. I figured he was usually pretty proactive, so I figured 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 such a fool. You didn't even tell me about this. If something serious happened, would you know? Their family all fled from famine. They don't have any relatives here!"
After saying that, he threw a puzzled look at the scorer and walked quickly towards He Laoxi's house.
Whenever I met someone on the road, I would call them to join me.
Arriving at He Laoxi's house, Xiao Aimin knocked on the door vigorously: "Laoxi, Laoxi, are you home?"
There was 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."
After that, 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.
Xiao Aimin looked at 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 of them leaned over the crack in the door and looked into the room, both with terrified faces.
