Gao Faming is only nine years old this year. Although he may make a name for himself in the future, Gao Mingcheng has no contact with him because of the age gap between them!
The reason why Gao Faming is missing now is very simple. When he was studying at school, people from other villages said that Gao Faming took his pen, and then they took Gao Faming's pen away.
But Gao Faming was no pushover. He gathered a group of people from Gaojia Village and started fighting. The two sides fought fiercely.
After the incident, Gao Faming's father beat Gao Faming with a stick. Gao Faming was beaten and forced to say sorry to others.
Afterwards, Gao Faming's father went back to the village to work in the fields, but after school, Gao Faming had not returned yet.
But this is not uncommon in the village. Children at this time are playing wildly all over the mountains and the adults do not supervise them at all.
Anyway, when it’s time to eat, the hungry children will naturally come back.
Or when the meal is ready, you can stand at the door and call your child's name loudly, asking him to come back to eat. When the child hears the call, he will come back happily.
But this time, no matter how his family called him, Gao Faming did not come back. Gao Faming's parents went to look for the children who usually played with Gao Faming, only to find out that Gao Faming disappeared after school and did not come back with them at all.
At this point, Gao Faming's parents became anxious. They first mobilized their own relatives to look for him, and then they mobilized the entire village to look for him. Later, even the people in the village committee and the brigade knew about this.
The teachers at the school had no time to rest and rushed to help find people.
It is common for children to hide away when they are wronged.
After learning what happened, Gao Mingcheng frowned. He was willing to help find the person, but it was difficult to find someone without any clue.
Fortunately, someone brought the latest news, saying that Gao Faming was seen walking towards Junling.
After having a specific direction, the group headed towards Junling.
Gao Mingcheng followed the crowd and saw Gao Zhuang coming, so he whispered, "Don't go. There are so many people here, that's enough."
Gao Zhuang's family consists of both old and young people, and he is the only young and strong man.
Gao Zhuang saw that there were at least twenty or thirty people going to look for him, and it was indeed true that one more or one less would not make much difference, so after hesitating for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
"Okay then. I'll go back first."
After Gao Zhuang left, a few familiar-looking people came to Gao Mingcheng's side. They were people he had played with before, Gao Liang and others.
Several of them are of similar age, some are married, and some are still single.
Gao Liang said: "Gao Faming must be afraid of being beaten. His father is a very fierce person, and Gao Faming is naughty, so he is often beaten by his father."
"Which parents in the village don't beat their children? We were beaten a lot when we were young!"
"That's right. My dad beat me with a stick and kicked me. My mom was even more cruel. She whipped my calves with a bamboo stick. It was so painful!"
"Haha, I still remember that one time when Ming Cheng's father wanted to beat him, Ming Cheng climbed up a tree and refused to come down!"
A few young people reminisced about their colorful childhood, and then someone brought up Gao Mingcheng's embarrassing childhood experiences.
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng could only smile helplessly.
In the past, parents believed that beatings make children filial and that without beatings, children will not be successful. So when children did something wrong, they would be beaten first!
The parents are already in a bad mood after a tiring day, and if the child is naughty, then they have the opportunity to vent their anger!
As for educating children, most parents are not able to do anything because they themselves don’t know much and cannot explain those big principles.
Beat the child until he is subdued and obedient, that's all.
Knowing that nothing serious would happen to Gao Faming, Gao Mingcheng felt quite relaxed and started talking about his childhood with others.
Going to the mountains to pick wild fruits, going to the fields to steal people's cucumbers, sweet potatoes, pear melons, etc., and then being discovered and scolded, these are all topics of conversation.
They were chatting and laughing here, which formed a sharp contrast with the anxiety of Gao Faming's parents and relatives.
After Gao Mingcheng noticed it, he immediately coughed twice and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. It's more important to find someone! Gao Faming is a smart kid. He went to Junling. He might want to go to the county. But it's almost dark now. He's a kid. It's definitely not safe."
"That's right, that's right, let's find someone first." The young people were not completely ignorant of the ways of the world. They stopped joking and turned their heads to look around, looking for Gao Faming.
Gao Mingcheng quickened his pace and walked in front.
Following this road, you can go all the way to Junling, and then turn onto the national highway, but one side of the national highway goes to the county town, and the other side goes to the next county. Gao Faming is only nine years old this year. Even if he has been to the county, he has probably only been there once or twice.
Everyone was walking in a hurry, but time waits for no one, and when they were halfway there, it was already completely dark.
Fortunately, someone had brought a flashlight in advance, and with the help of the flashlight and the moonlight in the sky, they were able to travel smoothly. However, their vision was affected and they couldn't see far away.
So the group of people could only walk while shouting Gao Faming's name, hoping to find Gao Faming as soon as possible.
But after arriving at Junling, they still couldn't find Gao Faming.
Faced with the dark national highway, the group of people were in a dilemma.
Where can I find someone?
If we go looking separately, how should we contact each other if we find him?
"We will look in the direction of the county town, Uncle Fa Ming, and you can look in the direction of the next county." Gao Fa Ming's father made the decision quickly.
Everyone split into two groups. Gao Mingcheng looked at the dark road and was unable to choose a direction for a moment.
He stood there, wondering which way he would go if it were him.
After thinking for a while, he turned his head to the village of Junling, where there were fifty or sixty households, and most of them had electrical wires and installed light bulbs.
Therefore, at night, the village with lights on gives people an attraction.
In the village, you can hear the sound of television and radio from time to time, and these sounds make the whole village more lively.
Imagine, a nine-year-old child, faced with an unknown road and a popular village, what choice would he make?
Many people say that Gao Faming is like Gao Mingcheng, both are equally naughty and clever.
But if that were the case, Gao Mingcheng would choose to spend the night in a popular village first, and then walk along the road during daytime.
Thinking of this, Gao Mingcheng turned around and walked towards the village of Junling.
He had no specific goal and could only go from house to house.
Sometimes when I meet villagers from Junling, I will chat with them and ask if they have seen a child from other villages.
The noise they made when they gathered together to look for someone just now was quite loud, and the people in Junling also noticed it. Now Gao Mingcheng has entered the village, and Gao Mingcheng is quite famous. Everyone in the village recognizes him, so they started asking questions.
When they learned that a nine-year-old boy had run away from home, everyone shook their heads and said they had never seen him.
Despite this, Gao Mingcheng did not give up. He went from house to house, paying special attention to their firewood piles.
We walked all the way like this and finally arrived at Huang Dazhi's parents' home.
This side is more remote, but Huang Dazhi's parents' home has also been wired and has light bulbs on.
As soon as I approached the house, I heard Xiaoguai's laughter. It turned out that Huang Dazhi's younger brother Huang Xiaoan was telling Xiaoguai a story. (End of this chapter)
