Chapter 335: Total despair, heartbroken!
Gu Qizheng heard the voices of several little guys and quickly turned his gaze to them again: "Come on! I won't tease you anymore!"
Tong Xiayue hurried forward to help, breaking a piece of egg cake into several pieces and sharing them with the triplets. The three little guys seemed to have never eaten before and they almost stood up from their chairs!
It's a pity that they are only eight months old, it's good enough that they can sit still now...
Tong Xiayue saw them eating happily, and said with a smile: "Grandpa is reluctant to see us, does he think we abuse them?"
Gu Qizheng smiled: "It really is..."
Ye Lan stepped forward and picked up Dabao and said with a smile: "These little things have they eaten everything? They have eaten all the good things, but they are greedy!"
After playing with the children for a while, Tong Xiayue guessed that the purpose of his visit today should be about the old man in Miyun Mountain, so she called him into the house.
Tong Xiayue poured a glass of water for Gu Qizheng and handed it to him: "Dad, has the matter with the old man been resolved?"
Gu Qizheng: "Yes, it has been found out, but this matter... Alas..."
From his expression, it can be seen that this matter does not seem to be as simple as imagined. Tong Xiayue asked curiously: "What's wrong? Not smooth?"
………………
It turned out that Gu Qizheng had also sent several groups of people to investigate this matter during this period. In the end, although the murderer was found out, but...
When the other families in the same village as Feng Guoping heard that the land was going to be expropriated, they all wanted to take the money and leave, but because Feng Guoping's family was unwilling at the time, the matter was never pushed forward.
The people who came to expropriate the land found two families, one of which was the Zhao Si family and the other was the Li Wan family.
The land acquisition people agreed with the two families that if they could persuade Feng Guoping to move out, they would get more money. Zhao Si and Li Wan were definitely tempted to hear about this good news!
But after they repeatedly came to persuade him, Feng Guoping was unwilling to move out. Everyone in the village knew his temper. Once he made up his mind, ten cows couldn't pull him back.
A few decades ago, it would have been very good to get two more yuan!
In order to earn a few dollars, Zhao Si and Li Wan came up with a bad idea...
Zhao Si: "You can't persuade this stubborn Feng, there's no way, let's think of an idea, we can't just leave it like this, if we drag it on like this, I guess no one will want to take care of our broken land!"
Li Wan responded: "That's right, hurry up and sell it while the price can still be offered for this land, otherwise, if we keep wasting time day by day, when will we have the chance to buy a house?"
The two hit it off!
Zhao Si suggested: "How about this, let's set a fire near his house when no one is at home! Why don't they move out when they have no place to live?"
Li Wan smiled and said, "Okay! That's a good idea! Since they have no place to live, there is definitely no other way but to move out!"
Until one day, the two heard Feng Guoping say that a family was going down the mountain to do some work, so they hid far away and watched until they saw a family of three leaving the house, then they walked to the front of the house and prepared to set fire!
Just as they were about to light the fire, they suddenly heard someone coming back!
The two felt guilty and ran away!
The two men ran into the jungle and watched from a distance. Li Wan was surprised and said, "Why are these mother and daughter back again?!"
Zhao Si sighed and said, "Luckily they ran fast! Alas... They are lucky. We can only try again another day!" Just as
the two were about to leave, they suddenly saw a fire around Feng Guoping's house!
The small fire gradually grew bigger, and the smoke became thicker...
Zhao Si looked at Li Wan in panic and said, "What's going on?! Didn't you set the fire?"
Li Wan was also panicked at this time: "No... no... I haven't even lit the torch yet! What should I do? There are still people inside! Let's go and save them!"
Li Wan took a step forward and was about to rush to the fire scene when Zhao Si grabbed him and scolded, "Are you crazy? There is no one here. This fire must have been started by the torch when we left just now. They fell from above! If you go to rescue them now, won't we be exposed?!"
Li Wan said to Zhao Si, in a dilemma: "But, Feng's wife and his son are in there!"
Zhao Si frowned and patted the dust on his body and said: "Who made them come back suddenly? We can only blame them for their bad luck and short lives!"
Thinking that it was because Feng Guoping refused to give in during this period of time that no one could get the money, the anger in his heart has not dissipated yet. Today's incident can only be said to be retribution!
Zhao Si pulled Li Wan away from the scene. When leaving the scene, the two of them also set fire to all the trees near Feng's house with torches!
The fire was so big that it engulfed half of the mountaintop...
The final news that spread was that the fire was caused by a forest fire...
Later, I learned from Feng Guoping that the family of three was originally going down the mountain to do some work, but the child's mother felt unwell halfway, so he asked the child to accompany his mother back.
As soon as I got to the bottom of the mountain, I saw thick smoke on the mountain. When I turned back quickly, I couldn't go any further when I reached the foot of the mountain!
After a while, the villagers on the mountain were seen running down the mountain one after another. Feng Guoping asked everyone he met: "Have you seen my wife and son?" "Have you
seen my wife?"
"Where is my son? Have you seen them?"
"Have you seen my wife and son?!"
... ...
He asked everyone he could see, and everyone seemed to have a unanimous answer: "No..."
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and it burned for a whole long day. Finally, it was extinguished by a heavy rain...
If it weren't for this timely rain, the whole mountain would probably have been burned down!
After seeing the fire was out, Feng Guoping rushed to the mountain, only to see that his home had been burned to ashes...
Nothing could be found...
The home he used to live at, the table where the family of three used to eat together, the spinning tops he used to make for his children, the home that once carried the happiness of his family...
It was gone...
It was all gone!
Feng Guoping approached the pile of ashes and desperately searched: "Impossible! Impossible! You must not be in there!"
His fingers bled...
His fingernails were pierced by debris...
His face was covered in black ash...
until he saw an empty clip that his son was carrying!
He had given it to his son on his birthday! He
had brought it from the battlefield when he was a soldier! He
had given him two clips in total, and the other one was nowhere to be found...
maybe it had been burned...
When he saw the clip, Feng Guoping felt like he was suffocating. No one could understand this feeling of despair. His only belief was his wife!
He continued to desperately dig at the ruins, and soon saw the buttons on the clothes his wife was wearing today...
His heart was left with only a heart-wrenching pain, and he could no longer hear any sound from the outside world...
He only knew that when he woke up again, he was at Li Wan's house...
Li Wan saw that he was awake and brought him a glass of water: "Are you awake?"
The house was gone, the people were gone...
Everything was gone...
At this moment, he was like a shell, as if the whole world could not accommodate him!
