Chapter 21 The Third Visit to the Village



Zhang Jing'an didn't stay here for dinner. Seeing that the two old men were still energetic in arguing and Meng Le was also lively and energetic, he sat for a while and then left.

He often comes to the county town, where he has his own place to stay and rest, but he also has his own things to do.

Meng Sheng came back from buying food on the street, and there were only the old lady and Meng Le in the yard.

Seeing him come in, Mrs. Li said, "Doctor Zhang left and said he would come back tomorrow morning.

Your great-grandfather went to the hospital to see Chengliang.

Don't worry about him, the three of us can just eat by ourselves!"

Meng Sheng didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. He obediently took the bowl and chopsticks and set the table for the food.

After they had filled their stomachs and washed up, Meng Anrong came back.

The old man's back was bent even more when he entered the yard. He sniffed and said to the people in the yard with a thick crying voice: "Pack up and go to bed early. We will go back to the village after handing over the house tomorrow morning!"

He found out from his son what they had done behind his back, and he accepted his fate and gave up.

Meng Sheng looked at the person under the light who seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

But he put these complicated emotions behind him in a moment. Someone must pay for the suffering and life he lost in his previous life.

Thinking that he had almost finished his work, Meng Sheng went back to sleep as he was told.

It's just that I slept too much during the day and tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. I listened to the suppressed sobbing of the old man and his wife next door, thinking about what I had done and the path I would take after taking revenge.

········

The next morning, shortly after dawn, Zhang Jing'an came over with a bag of steamed buns and steamed buns for breakfast.

Upon learning that several people were preparing to return to the village, he turned around and drove the ox cart over. When the sun appeared on the horizon, the group handed over the house, packed up their things, and rode the ox cart out of the county town, heading all the way to Mengjia Village.

At this time, the police entered Mengjia Village for the third time in just a few days.

There are quite a few people this time.

There were more than a dozen ox carts and bicycles, and nearly twenty police officers in uniform and carrying guns.

The huge group of people scared many villagers who were keen to watch the fun so much that they stopped walking and could only look out through the cracks in the door with their heads lowered.

This time, the police directly talked to several village cadres. After the talk, the twenty or so people were divided into three teams.

Each of them was led by a village cadre to cooperate with the operation.

Then one group of people went up to the forest behind the village, one group of people entered Meng Chengliang's yard, and another group of people went to the shack where Feng Yi's family lived before they disappeared.

Not long after, the police who went up the mountain dug out the skeleton of a middle-aged man and some of the man's personal belongings from under a chinaberry tree.

The police who entered Meng Chengliang's yard dug out a box filled with gold bars and weapons, which meant they had achieved the purpose of their trip.

Only a few police officers went to the shack outside the village. They frowned as they looked at the broken pots and bowls covered with dust on the ground in front of the shack, and the rotten straw hut surrounded by cornfields and trees.

It was obvious that the person had never returned. Now there had been no sign of him alive or dead for several days. This place was desolate and uninhabited, so they didn't know where to start looking for him.

A young police officer, still childish on his face, looked at the small shed with rotting thatch on the roof, where people could barely stand up straight. Thinking of the confession he had read yesterday, he couldn't help but say to Feng Chunhua, the women's director who was leading the way, "How could you let a young woman live here?

Did you not think about the possibility of an accident, or did you not take human life seriously at all?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Chunhua's face, which was slightly darkened by the sun, turned a little red with shame and anger.

There was a powerful village chief and village party secretary in front of her, and she was just a women's director with little real power. Many times, even family conflicts in the village were resolved by the village chief.

No matter what happens, if you say something nice, people will listen, but if you say something bad, no one will give you face.

Although she was also there when Feng Yi's family was settled, and they were cousins ​​within the fifth degree of mourning, how could she not fight for her? But what she said also had to be useful, right?

But she didn't know how to start talking about these inside stories. Feng Chunhua stammered for a long time but didn't say anything.

Instead, the middle-aged team leader beside him spoke up: "Lin Yang, now is not the time to pursue these things. It is more important to find someone as soon as possible!"

There are too many things in the world that are unbearable to look at and cannot stand the test of scrutiny. Young people who have just started working still need to be trained and experience more things, otherwise they will lose this passion and indignation.

At this time, Feng Yijia, whom everyone was looking for, was wearing a patched piece of clothing that had become dirty after being rubbed against branches and the ground several times. He was leaning on a stick, avoiding people and taking cover under the wildly growing crops and weeds in summer, and carefully heading towards the mountains behind.

Xu Xiuping was standing at the back door of the Zhang family's courtyard, looking at people with a worried look on her face, her heart in turmoil.

She knew that the Meng Yun brothers were arrested for hooliganism, and she also saw Wang Cui looking for Feng Yijia everywhere, but her years of friendship with him made her subconsciously refuse to think about the source of Feng Yijia's injuries.

Today, the police entered the village, and soon some villagers reported that people were heading out of the village.

Feng Yijia knew without a second thought that it was those people from the Meng family who had confessed their deeds.

She saw that the Zhang couple had been worrying about Meng Chengliang's family affairs these past two days.

If they were discovered at Zhang's house, Xu Xiuping and her husband would probably have a hard time dealing with the two brothers.

During the days she was recovering from her injuries, she was taken good care of and ate a lot of good food.

We should always put ourselves in their shoes and think about them.

He told Xu Xiuping the whole story and asked her not to let anything out in front of the police. He then soiled his clothes, messed up his hair, and sneaked into the mountains through the back door.
