Chapter 116 Something happened again
Two days later, the guards at the entrance and exit of the brigade withdrew, saying that the spies were caught.
Even the guards at Lu Yougen's house left. After learning about this, Lu Guihua breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been worried for several days and almost thought that her mother was a spy, but fortunately she was not.
Lu Guihua scooped two bowls of white noodles from home and walked towards her mother's house.
Her mother had been locked up for so many days, and it was time for her to be released today.
Her sisters had all married in other villages and could not help, so she had to go back to help clean up the house and make a bowl of noodles for her mother to get rid of the bad luck.
When she got home, Lu Guihua went in and called "Dad" several times but no one answered. Instead, a weak voice came from Lu Fubao's room.
Lu Guihua rushed in and was shocked to see Lu Fubao lying on the kang with a pale face.
"Fubao, what's wrong with you?"
"Fifth sister, cook me something to eat. I'm starving."
"What? How long have you been hungry? Dad didn't cook for you?" Lu Fubao
shook his head.
Lu Guihua was shocked! Her father always held Fubao in his hands, how could he bear to starve him?
Lu Guihua couldn't figure it out, but she still hurried out to make food for Lu Fubao, but found that the cabinet was locked. She had to use the white flour she brought with her to roll a bowl of noodles for Lu Fubao.
Lu Fubao had been hungry for almost two days, and now he was eating white noodles, and tears were falling as he ate.
"Oh, eat slowly. What happened? Did you have a fight with dad?" Lu Guihua was distressed.
Because they were taught to love their younger brother since childhood, the five sisters of Lu Guihua loved Lu Fubao very much.
Lu Fubao finished eating the white flour, wiped his mouth, and said, "I don't know what happened to dad. He suddenly ignored me and didn't give me food. Fifth sister, do you think dad was possessed by evil spirits?"
Lu Guihua covered Lu Fubao's mouth with her hand, "Fubao, don't talk nonsense, this is feudal superstition. Maybe mom was arrested, dad was worried, so he didn't take care of you."
"But he eats it himself every meal, and he picks the good ones to eat. Every meal is white rice and scrambled eggs. He even steams and eats bacon."
Lu Guihua:...
Her heart, which had just been relieved, began to hang again.
Thinking of the contemptuous look that Li Yue'e had given her in the past two days, Lu Guihua always felt that something big was going to happen at home...
"Where's Dad? Where did Dad go?"
Lu Fubao shook his head, "I don't know. After those people left, he followed them out."
"You stay at home, I'll go out to look for him." Lu Guihua hurried out.
It snowed for two days in a row. Although it was not very heavy, most people stayed at home and did not go out.
Lu Guihua asked several families, and they all said they had never seen her father. She looked around the brigade, but still couldn't see him.
When she asked a family at the head of the village, the family said that they seemed to have seen her father go out.
"I guess he might have gone to pick up your mother." The uncle said.
Lu Guihua thought about it and thought it was really possible, so she went back.
Lu Guihua told Lu Fubao that if his parents came back, he should go and call her, and then she would go back to her own home.
There were two children at home, and Lu Weiguo also needed to eat after work, so she had to go back and do the housework first.
However, until the evening, Lu Fubao did not come to call her. Lu Guihua was worried and hurried over again.
The house was still dark, and Lu Fubao was full and sleeping soundly on the kang.
Lu Guihua woke him up and asked, "Are your parents back?"
Lu Fubao shook his head, "Fifth sister, what should I do at night?"
Lu Guihua sighed, went to the cellar to get a few sweet potatoes and put them in the pot to cook.
"I cooked some sweet potatoes for you. You can light the fire and eat them yourself." After saying that, she left in a hurry, feeling very uneasy.
When she got home, she happened to meet Lu Weiguo coming back from work, so she hurriedly asked, "Weiguo, did you see my parents on the way home?"
Her mother was working at the commune police station, and Lu Weiguo also worked in the commune. If he had come back, he should have seen them on the way.
Lu Weiguo shook his head, "It's snowing, and there are no people on the road except for us who are working."
Lu Guihua muttered, "This shouldn't be." Did something happen again?
So she hurried to the main house again and looked for Lu Qing'an, "Dad, why hasn't my mother been released yet?"
After hearing what Li Yue'e said about that incident, Lu Qing'an also felt very ashamed.
When people from the outside brigade talk about this, they will definitely talk about the in-laws of the brigade secretary of Lujia Village. What bad things have happened to him to get into such a mess.
Therefore, they didn't have a good face towards Lu Guihua, "Your mother can't be released."
"Why? The guards at home have been withdrawn, which shows that my mother is not a spy."
"Your mother is indeed not a spy, but she didn't do anything good." Lu Qing'an snorted.
"What did my mother do?"
Lu Qing'an was too embarrassed to say it. Seeing Li Yue'e coming from the kitchen, he asked Li Yue'e to speak.
When Li Yue'e finished speaking, Lu Guihua was stunned and didn't know what to do for a while. She returned home in a daze and sat on the stool without saying a word.
Lu Weiguo just followed and listened. He was also very ashamed that his in-laws did such a thing. He also sat on the stool with his head down.
Although the two boys were hungry, they did not dare to say anything seeing their parents like this, and they had to sit back on the kang.
Suddenly, Lu Guihua stood up, yelling "not right", and rushed out of the house.
Lu Weiguo asked several times "what are you doing", and seeing that she ignored him, he ignored her.
Seeing that there were steamed vegetables and corn porridge in the pot, he scooped them up and brought them to the kang to invite the two boys to eat.
Before they finished eating, Lu Guihua rushed back again.
"Weiguo, my father went out in the afternoon and hasn't come back yet." Lu Guihua said in a crying voice.
"I looked for him in the brigade this afternoon, but he was not there. Someone at the village entrance seemed to have seen him leaving the village. I, I thought... Weiguo, do you think something might have happened to my father?" As Lu Guihua spoke, tears began to fall.
Lu Weiguo also realized something was wrong and quickly put down the bowl, "Explain it clearly."
Lu Guihua told him everything that had happened since she went to her mother's house in the afternoon. Although the word order was a bit messy, Lu Weiguo understood it.
His heart skipped a beat, fearing that something had really happened.
"Wait, I'll go tell Dad." Lu Weiguo hurriedly said.
After hearing what Lu Weiguo said, Lu Qing'an was almost angry to death. What happened? Things happened one after another.
But they still set off in a hurry, first went to Lu Baoguo's house to tell him what happened, and then quickly gathered a large group of young men, lit torches, and started looking for people.
In less than an hour, the people who went up the mountain to look for them came down to report that they had found them.
But the man had been hanged, and his body was frozen stiff.
When Lu Guihua heard this, she fainted immediately. Lu Fubao was also stunned, not knowing what to do.
