"What? Is this targeting those people?"
Those people used to be very capable, so it's not impossible for them to be targeted. But they've been safe for so many years, and they're about to make it big in three or four years. Why are they suddenly being remembered?
Qian Xiao pointed up and asked in a low voice, "Is there already news?"
Sun Kaicheng nodded: "They said they've already held a meeting to discuss it, but it probably won't be that quick."
"So you mean, one of those people was blocking someone else's way?"
Sun Kaicheng shook his head: "It shouldn't be a big deal. If they wanted to take action, they would have done it already. They definitely wouldn't do it now, as it would be easy for someone to trace the trail back to the person behind it."
Although those people held important positions before, they have been locked up in cowsheds for so many years. To put it bluntly, they are not that important. So important that they would be thinking of killing each other to cover it up at this critical moment.
"However, I can remind the six eggs to get ready."
The two of them are college students, so even if the college entrance examination is reinstated, it won't have much to do with them. However, Xiaoxiao's six younger brothers are all high school students, so they will definitely give it a try if they have the chance.
Qian Xiaodu began to doubt whether she had transmigrated to a parallel world. The history of this world at the beginning was very similar to that of the Earth she used to live on, but it had progressed very quickly in the past few years, and many things were very different.
It's only been a few years, and the higher-ups are already holding meetings to discuss the college entrance examination! But these are all good signs. The sooner this oppressive era ends, the sooner China can take off.
"I will write to them to remind them what happened in that village, and whether my grandparents are alright."
"It's nothing, it just feels a bit off. Do you remember Wang Xuewen you mentioned? We haven't heard from him for so long. Do you think he was behind what happened in the village?"
"You mean he hid in the mountains?" If he did, then the things that went missing from the village could very well have been his doing.
“Yes, no strangers have been found in the nearby villages. Unless he has hidden in the mountains, how could someone's appearance leave no trace?”
"What do you think his purpose is? Shouldn't he come back to take revenge on our family? But look, our family is all fine, and we haven't lost any property. On the contrary, it's other people's family that has suffered."
"And the cowshed, no normal person would think of stealing from the cowshed, even a child knows that it should be the poorest place."
"Honey, how do you think this person escaped from the farm? Even if he did escape, he has the ability to create a fake corpse to replace his identity. Could he have already followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and father?"
"You mean..."
Sun Kaicheng nodded, and Qian Xiao didn't say it directly: "To be honest, it's not impossible for you to guess like that. How far is that place from here? How did this person get back? He's an undocumented immigrant, where did he get the letter of introduction?"
"Then why doesn't anyone go up the mountain to look for them?"
"We went there, the villagers led the way, and the police station mobilized almost everyone to search the mountain, but we found nothing."
"Do you think we should ask for leave and go back up the mountain to take a look?" She still preferred to nip danger in the bud; she couldn't wait for him to hurt her family before retaliating, could she?
That's the kind of stupid thing to do. If you have a reason to take someone down directly, then never give them a chance to do it.
“It’s not impossible,” he thought. His wife’s grandparents and his maternal grandparents all lived in the village. What if they got hurt?
If his wife is familiar with the mountains behind them, and he still has his mental energy available, he'll be more likely to find the hidden person than an ordinary person.
Everything is still in the stage of doubt. It is impossible for anyone to send more people into the mountains to search for Wang Xuewen, who is suspected of hiding in the mountains. It is really not worth making a big fuss to search for someone who just escaped from the farm.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go ask for leave right now. We don't have anything to do lately anyway."
"Where should we take our son back, or send him to my second uncle's house for my second aunt to take care of him?"
"We'll take him with us." It's safer to keep the child under our watchful eyes. What if Wang Xuewen has accomplices and tries to harm the child in the county town?
"You take care of the child. I've already taken the leave I was supposed to give both of us."
Taking advantage of the early afternoon, the two quickly packed up and set off back to the village.
"Why did you come back? And you even brought the child back with you?" Grandma Qian took the little potato, her tone a little harsh. What if the child got hurt in the commotion in the village?
"Let's talk after we get inside."
"Chengcheng, go and bring your grandparents over."
"Okay, milk."
After hearing what the two men said, the four elderly people fell silent. They didn't want their children to take this risk: "Isn't this matter supposed to be handled by the police station?"
"Grandpa, tell me, how many people know these mountains back there better than I do?"
When she was little, she was strong and bold, and she explored almost all the mountains behind her. She had a good sense of direction and could remember the paths she had walked, so she never got lost.
"This person's motives are unclear. I'm always on edge until we catch him. What if he goes crazy and attacks you?"
"Sir, I'll go with Xiaoxiao. Don't worry about our skills; even if we don't catch anyone, we'll come back safely."
Grandma Qian was still unwilling: "Why don't you call your father and see if you can find someone else to handle this matter?"
“Grandma, my dad lives far away. A distant source of water can't quench an immediate thirst. Besides, we're all just suspicious. Who can be sure that this person has definitely hidden in the mountains? If we tell people things we're not sure about, they might not believe us.”
Grandma Zhou looked worried: "Are you really alright?"
Sun Kaicheng patted the old lady's hand: "Grandma, don't worry, even if we run into bad people, we can make sure we get out unscathed."
In the end, Grandpa Zhou made the final decision: "Alright, you two can go into the mountains and take a look, but let's make it clear that you can't push yourselves. Your safety is the most important thing."
The old man knew his grandson's abilities quite well. He didn't know much about his granddaughter-in-law, but he could hear some things from the villagers and her in-laws. They said she was probably just as capable as his grandson.
Qian Xiao and Sun Kaicheng exchanged a smile. Others might not know, but they were well aware of their own capabilities. They had quite a few weapons they brought from the apocalypse in their space, and they wouldn't be able to take them out if they were with someone else.
With just the two of them, their safety is absolutely guaranteed.
Qian Xiao was still worried about the four elderly people and one child at home, so she went to her great-grandfather's and second great-grandfather's houses.
