"These are Gao Laoer's shoes. I saw him wearing them. They are still new and have not been worn for long.
He was wearing new shoes that day and he showed off to us, saying his wife made them for him.”
The villagers pointed at the shoes in Gao Ronghua's hand and recognized them as Gao Laoer's.
Now, the situation seems clear!
Gao Laoer is gone!
The blood on the stone, the rags on the ground, the bones with flesh and blood not far away, and the shoes...
All of them indicate that Gao Laoer is gone!
Gao Ronghua raised his head and looked upward.
"Gao Lao Er must have fallen from up there. I think a wild beast came here last night."
At this time, more villagers were shouting.
"Village chief, there are a lot of wolf paw prints here. It looks like there are wolves nearby."
The villagers were all panicked!
Wherever there are wolves, there are wolf packs.
These people are no match at all.
Gao Ronghua waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Let's go back to the village and let Gao Acai and the others handle it themselves."
In this kind of situation, the villagers would have helped.
But the prerequisite for this help is that the host proposes it and asks the villagers for help.
Instead of everyone just doing it consciously.
Everyone quickly agreed.
They climbed to the top of the cliff together, called the others back, and went back to the village together.
Gao Ronghua took his men directly to Gao Acai's house.
Old Mrs. Gao, who had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard, saw the villagers coming in groups and hurried to greet them.
"Village Chief, have you found our second son?"
Gao Ronghua handed the shoe to Old Lady Gao, "Do you recognize this shoe?"
"My second child's!"
"I'm the boss!"
Gao Laoer's wife rushed over, took the shoes, and looked through them to confirm.
"Indeed, I am the boss. I made these shoes, but he has only worn them a few times."
When Old Lady Gao saw the expressions of the villagers, her heart skipped a beat and began to sink.
"village head."
The voice is trembling.
Gao Ronghua looked at her with a heavy face, "The shoes were found at the bottom of the cliff. Go find your third son and Uncle Cai.
Let’s discuss the subsequent regulations.”
The legs of Grandma Gao and Mr. Gao's second daughter-in-law went limp, and they both fell to the ground.
Old Mrs. Gao burst into tears.
"Second brother, second brother..."
Gao Laosan's wife and the children in the family came out and hurried to help the two old ladies Gao.
"Mother, second sister-in-law."
Gao Ronghua asked someone to help send Old Mrs. Gao and Gao Laoer's wife into the house.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried miserably. Everyone stood in the yard, not knowing whether to pity them or...
Gao Zhi was carried to the edge of the cliff and Gao Laoer found him on the cliff.
So, could the person who took Gao Zhi away yesterday be Gao Laoer?
If it was Gao Laoer, then everyone really wouldn't want to pity him, let alone sympathize with these people.
Carrying Gaozhi to the top of the cliff, the intention is obvious.
When something happens to Gao Zhi, the whole village suffers.
Thinking about it this way, Gao Laoer is not pitiful, but hateful!
Some people are already thinking that Gao Zhi is at the edge of the cliff and Gao Laoer is at the bottom of the cliff.
Does this mean that Gao Laoer wanted to harm Fuqiwa and got his retribution in this life?
Some villagers ran to find Xie.
"Sister-in-law, we have found Mr. Gao and his partner."
Everyone put down their work, looked at the person running over, and listened attentively.
"Where did you find it?"
“There’s no one at the bottom of the cliff! I heard that the bodies were eaten by wild beasts, leaving only some inedible bones and some scraps of clothing.
Oh my god! That sounds terrible.
This is a death without a complete body.
Think about what happened yesterday.
Our Jiaojiao woke up at the top of the cliff, and Gao Laoer found her at the bottom of the cliff.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Everyone is saying that the person who hugged Jiaojiao yesterday is definitely Gao Laoer."
Gao Zhi sat under the eaves and suddenly felt that the snacks in his mouth tasted more delicious.
She had already suspected that it was someone from Gao Acai's family, and now she was sure.
The person who wanted to harm her yesterday was Gao Laoer.
Because she knew that the man had fallen to the bottom of the cliff.
Xie's face looked grim, she pursed her lips tightly, clenched her hands into fists, and her whole body was shaking.
Gao Zhi quickly walked towards Xie and pulled her skirt, "Mom."
Xie squatted down and hugged Gao Zhi tightly, tears streaming down her face.
She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Although she had doubts, she was certain that it was that family who did it, and Xie still hated them very much.
Gao Zhi kept calling "Mom" in her arms. After a long time, Xie slowly calmed down.
“Jiaojiao.”
When Mrs. Xie opened her mouth, her voice was extremely hoarse.
The villagers hurried over to comfort her.
…
That afternoon, Gao Acai asked someone to help buy a coffin, and begged the villagers for help to go to the bottom of the cliff to collect Gao Laoer's body.
Not much left!
All that was left were some uneaten bones and skulls.
Gao Acai sat at the bottom of the cliff, crying.
Gao Acai has three sons. He loves the second son the most, while Mrs. Gao loves the third son the most.
Now the elderly are sending off the young, and in such a situation, Gao Acai is heartbroken.
Gao Acai cried and cried, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
In the evening, the villagers carried the coffin to the ancestral grave and buried Gao Laoer in peace.
There was no ceremony, and no return to the Gao family.
The villagers were reluctant to do this, but they were all from the same village, and later they could not find evidence to prove that it was Gao Laoer who wanted to harm Gao Zhi.
There is no way to break up openly.
Everyone knows that nine times out of ten, the only thing missing is a lack of evidence.
Old Mrs. Gao cried her heart out at home, cursing Xie and Gao Zhi in her heart.
If he wasn't afraid that the villagers would hear him, he would have cursed loudly.
Gao Acai's family all believed that Gao Laoer was killed by Gao Zhi, and they believed that Gao Zhi was the ghost baby.
They also vaguely knew that the person who hugged Gao Zhi yesterday was Gao Lao Er.
As a result, when he reached the top of the cliff, Gao Laoer was harmed by the ghost baby.
Old Mrs. Gao pounded the quilt and cursed.
Gao Acai sat at the table and looked much older in one day.
He wants revenge!
But what should we do about this grudge?
Obviously they were no match for the ghost baby.
Gao Acai is in a miserable state, and every day is dark and gloomy.
Xie's business was booming and was not affected by this side at all. Now that the stone mill was back, he started making tofu again.
I tried it quietly at night.
Following the brine recipe that Gao Zhi told him, the tofu was made successfully in one go.
The next day, he started making tofu with Li Mei.
Tofu is made.
There are a few more tofu shops in the village.
Tofu sells well and you can buy it with money or exchange it for soybeans.
He went out carrying a load of tofu, and came back in the evening carrying a load of soybeans to settle accounts with Mrs. Xie.
Tofu is divided into soft tofu and firm tofu.
Gao Zhi then asked Xie to try making dried tofu. The dried tofu was ready, and braised dried tofu became another braised dish.
The villagers watched as Xie came up with new things every day as if it were a magic trick, and they were all extremely curious.
But curiosity is curiosity.
No one directly asked Xie how his products were made?
Gao Ronghua has instructed that if you ask about the secret recipe casually, then don't cooperate with me.
