Chapter 43
All the members of the brigade went out to search the river ditches and the surrounding mountains, but they couldn't find Xiao Jiabao.
"No? Impossible."
"There are no strangers in the village, and our baby is only a few years old. He can't run far."
"I want to see the body alive or dead. Please help me find it again, uncles."
"I, Xiao Long, kneel down before you all here."
Xiao Long knelt down in front of the people who had been searching on the mountain for a whole day and kowtowed three times.
Song Jingzhou, who followed everyone up the mountain to find his nephew, saw Song Zaizhao slumped on the ground, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
"Please help look for it again."
"Beside the river, in the creek, in the ditch, on the back hill, in Maozigou, everyone please be careful."
"It's getting dark soon, everyone light the torches."
In the entire village, there are only a few elderly people left at home to look after the children.
All the young men came out, holding torches and shouting Xiao Jiabao's name everywhere.
Song Jingzhou thought about it.
When we were moving the Millennium House this morning, I seemed to have seen Xiao Jiabao.
At that time, Xiao Jiabao was circling around the Millennium House and was scolded by the Eight Vajras who moved the Millennium House.
Song Jingzhou was shocked, "Oh no, hurry to Mrs. Xiao's grave."
"Brother Song, what's going on?"
"Hey, hey, wait for us."
A few people who got along well with Song Jingzhou followed closely behind.
A large group of people rushed to Mrs. Xiao's grave.
The newly buried grave was dug up again. After the sealed coffin was pried open, Xiao Jiabao was lying in his grandmother's arms with a purple face.
What was even more terrifying was that, like Yanyan and Xiao Sanying before him, he was bleeding from all seven orifices.
A few young men who were digging graves felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
"This, this Mrs. Xiao, usually likes this eldest grandson the most."
"Here, here, I'm leaving, but I didn't forget to take it with me."
Song Zaizhao, who rushed over after hearing the news, could not even stand steadily and was shaking like a sieve.
He gritted his teeth and supported himself to crawl into the coffin and touch his son's face.
"It's still hot, it's still hot, everyone, please save him."
"Save my son, my baby is still warm, wuwuwu."
Xiao Long crawled to the coffin and touched the child's neck.
It was indeed still warm, but there was no breath or pulse.
He hugged his wife in grief and said, "Come on, come on, wake up."
"The child is gone, but we will have another one in the future. Cheer up."
“Ah~”
Song Zaizhao let out a sharp scream and could no longer hold on, and fainted in her husband's arms.
Xiao Jiabao just accompanied Xiao Sanying.
The next day, after Song Zaizhao woke up, he started beating Chen Chuntao like a madman.
"Is it you? Is it you who did this?"
"Is it because you lost your Yanyan that you killed my Jiabao as well?"
"Crazy man, let go." Chen Chuntao pushed Song Zaizhao away.
"Sister-in-law is so rude, hahaha."
"I knelt in the mourning hall for a whole day yesterday. Everyone in Gaotang Village was watching."
"Who knows if Jiabao was just being playful or missing his grandmother, and he climbed in before the coffin was sealed."
"Hahaha, if you ask me, this is retribution. This is retribution for the Xiao family."
"The Xiao family has done too many immoral things, and now they are getting their comeuppance."
"First it was my Yanyan, then Xiao Sanying, and now Xiao Jiabao. Who do you think will be the next one?"
Chen Chuntao had a sly smile on her face, and her eyes swept across the crowd like the tongue of a poisonous snake.
Wherever their eyes went, everyone subconsciously took a step back.
Seeing Chen Chuntao staring at him crazily, Xiao Hu plucked up the courage to slap her.
"You bitch, I think you are crazy."
"I drive you crazy, I drive you crazy."
After a few slaps, Xiao Hu finally got rid of the coldness in his body.
The onlookers felt pity for Chen Chuntao when they saw her appearance and hurried forward to persuade her.
"Okay, Xiao Hu, Chun Tao, this is because Yan Yan just left and she was upset, so she said those two nonsense words."
"Don't hit her. Besides, she's not wrong."
"She was in the living room the entire time yesterday and had no chance to do anything."
"Maybe, just like she said, Jiabao crawled in there on his own out of play."
The Xiao family lost two children and an adult at once, and the whole house was filled with a dead and depressed atmosphere.
The villagers didn't say anything on the surface, but they privately taught their children not to go to or get close to the Xiao family.
Even if people have to pass by this place on their way to work on weekdays, they will try to take a detour.
Because of a temporary change in his family and the passing of his wife, Xiao Quangui was not taken care of well in his life and he looked more than ten years older.
Chen Chuntao gradually recovered and went to work with everyone with her head down every day.
"Look, look, if you look at that piece of candy every day, can you see any flowers?"
Xiao Hu angrily slapped the candy from Chen Chuntao's hand, and kept saying it was bad luck in his heart.
Ever since Yanyan left, Chen Chuntao has been extremely cold towards him.
Even if he took the initiative to make out with her, she still looked half dead.
Whenever he had nothing to do, he would take out a piece of brown sugar wrapped in oil paper, look at it like a treasure, occasionally open it, lick it twice, and then wrap it up carefully.
"Ah, my candy."
Chen Chuntao got off the bed with an anxious look on her face and carefully picked up her candy.
"Problem! Humph." Xiao Hu snorted coldly, turned his head and went to sleep, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
Under the moonlight, Chen Chuntao, who was as thin as a stick, stood beside the bed.
On the pale face, a pair of creepy eyes stared at the person on the bed.
"Why did you slap my candy?"
"You shouldn't have slapped my candy~"
Xiao Hu felt a cold hand touching his face in a daze.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw the wooden door creaking. He looked towards the door in the moonlight and saw Chen Chuntao's departing back.
Thinking of his wife's coldness towards him during this period, Xiao Hu suddenly became suspicious of Shen Chuntao's departure in the middle of the night.
He immediately got out of bed and followed behind on tiptoe.
Chen Chuntao paused outside the door, glanced behind her, and walked towards the reeds by the river with a creepy smile on her lips.
Xiao Hu held his breath and followed step by step.
The anger caused by being cuckolded has made him lose his mind.
Next to the reeds by the river, a strong man was holding a foxtail grass in his mouth and looking towards the direction of the village entrance.
There was a sound of pattering footsteps, and the man stood up alertly.
Only after seeing clearly in the moonlight that it was the person he had been thinking about day and night did he relax his vigilance.
"Didn't I tell you that we shouldn't meet for the time being?"
"I want to leave the Xiao family."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think he can let you go?"
"I can't do that."
"I miss you so much, let me have some fun first."
At the critical moment, Chen Chuntao secretly threw the stone in her hand towards the reeds behind her.
“Someone!”
"who?"
"Who's there?"
