But he found that Wang Xiaolan was not at home. He touched the bedding on the bed which was still warm, and looked around the room suspiciously.
I thought: "Maybe my wife went to the toilet."
He went to the backyard and happened to meet Zhao Sihai coming out of the toilet carrying a bucket of dung.
"Dad, are you cleaning the cesspool?"
"Well, this load of manure, when delivered to the village office, is equivalent to one day's work points for me."
"That's great, you don't have to work today."
"I still have to work. I'm idle at home anyway. Earning more work points will give me more food rations."
"That's right, Dad. Go ahead and do your work! I need to go to the restroom."
Zhao Lihan has confirmed that Wang Xiaolan is not in the toilet. After all, toilets in rural areas are not divided by gender.
Zhao Lihan searched the backyard for a while, but couldn't find Wang Xiaolan, so he turned back home.
"Hmm!" As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a faint herbal scent. Feeling a little confused, I went to the bedroom, but unexpectedly saw Wang Xiaolan, who was already asleep on the bed.
He couldn't help but be stunned: "What's going on? There was no one in the bed a moment ago, but now she is sleeping so soundly. How could such a weird thing happen?"
As a young man who had been in the army and had received many years of education, I was a thorough materialist and naturally did not believe in ghosts and gods. So how could I explain what was happening before my eyes?
He was very depressed. After finishing his housework, he came to the scene of the landslide that happened last night with a heavy heart.
A group of villagers are clearing the closed mountain road.
When the captain saw Zhao Lihan coming, he hurried over to greet him.
"Li Han, you're here."
"Are you cleaning up the scene?"
"Yes! We have to clean it up. This road is the main thoroughfare leading to the outside world from our village."
The captain pointed to the huge boulder lying across the road and said, "Look at how big the rock is. Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone."
Zhao Lihan looked at the stone and thought of the thrilling scene last night. His heart tightened and his face became solemn: "Yes! Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone." He murmured.
"Li Han, do you have any good ideas? Move this huge rock down the mountain so that it will be easier for cars to drive in."
Zhao Lihan walked forward, squatted down, looked at the stone and observed carefully. Its shape was an irregular sphere. He tried to push the boulder with force, but it did not move at all.
He clearly remembered that he was trapped under a rock surrounded by mud and rubble, and he didn't know how his wife rescued him.
When he thought of this, he felt mixed emotions.
At this time, the captain came over and said, "Li Han, have you come up with any good ideas?"
Zhao Lihan did not answer him immediately. He suddenly thought that when fighting with Country S, they often encountered such large roadblocks, and they used the principle of leverage to solve them.
"Captain, go prepare some thicker wood."
The villagers found some wood and placed it at the bottom of the stone to support it, creating a fulcrum. Twenty or so villagers held wooden sticks and used this fulcrum to pry the stone, and the boulder was successfully moved to the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Lihan said goodbye to the captain and came to the place where he first met Wang Xiaolan. At that time, she was weak and timid. Looking back now, she is still fresh in his memory.
He just couldn't understand why his wife had changed so much. What had happened during my absence?
Even he, a professionally trained person, couldn't lift such a big stone, so how could she possibly do it?
A light bulb went off in his head: could there have been a UFO incident here as well?
During this period, a strange thing was rumored to have happened. It was said that a man flew thousands of miles overnight. People attributed this incident to the work of aliens.
Although this story has not been scientifically proven and he doesn't believe the legend, how can he explain what happened to his wife? Could it be that she also encountered aliens? Only an external force could do this.
He remembered that last night he seemed to be taken somewhere and pushed into an instrument. He heard a buzzing sound and unclear conversations.
He was thinking about these things, feeling very conflicted, and walked down the mountain unconsciously.
At this time, he heard a burst of singing. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wang Xiaolan walking towards him.
Zhao Lihan was startled and quickly hid in the bushes nearby. He didn't expect that his wife had such a good voice. Her singing was even better than that of the actors in the army art troupe.
He observed her quietly. She was jumping around like a child one second and disappeared the next. Thinking he was seeing things, he rubbed his eyes, shook his head, sighed, and had to go down the mountain and go home.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard Wang Xiaolan's voice.
"Li Han, you're back."
He was stunned and thought to himself, "Weren't you in the mountains just now? How did you end up at home? Can you fly?"
He tried to calm himself down so that Wang Xiaolan wouldn't see what he was thinking, and said, "Hey, I just went out for a walk."
In the evening, Zhao Lihan said to Wang Xiaolan who was playing with Xiaobao, "Wife, I'm a little tired today. I'm going to sleep first." After that, he propped up half of his body, kissed Wang Xiaolan on the forehead, then fell on the bed, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
Wang Xiaolan had already noticed that something was wrong with Zhao Lihan, but she didn't think too much about it and just focused on coaxing Xiaobao, who didn't want to sleep.
Wang Xiaolan finally coaxed her two children to sleep, but she herself was not sleepy at all.
