Chapter 44 Hu Zi is missing



Xiangyang Village has been relatively quiet these days, just waiting for the wheat to ripen and be harvested.

The adults in the village were working in the fields, while the children were running around the village, expending their abundant energy.

Kids aged five or six are at the age when they are making a lot of noise. I don’t know who suggested playing hide-and-seek.

I've played this game countless times and never get tired of it.

With snot hanging from his nose, Goudan covered his eyes and started counting. After counting to twenty, he started looking for someone.

As long as he finds one person, that person will help him find the next one.

Hu Zi is as his name suggests, with a tiger-like appearance, but he is very smart in playing this game.

Because he discovered a secret base.

He discovered this secret base by accident and did not tell anyone.

As long as he hides, no one will be able to find him.

As soon as the game started, he hid here and there, left his other friends behind, and headed straight for the secret base.

When he ran around a corner, he suddenly bumped into someone's thigh.

Hu Zi was knocked to the ground, holding his forehead and looking up at the person who hit him.

This person is Lao Ma.

"Little boy, are you hurt? Come and have a look."

Old Ma smiled gently and wanted to reach out to help Hu Zi up.

When Hu Zi saw that it was a stranger, he looked a little uneasy and tried to avoid the hand that Lao Ma extended.

Seeing this, Lao Ma took out two White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and handed them to Hu Zi.

When Hu Zi saw the White Rabbit candy, his eyes lit up and there was no trace of anxiety on his face.

He stared intently at the White Rabbit milk candy in Lao Ma's hand.

Children really have no resistance to sugar.

Especially at this time, even if the family could barely avoid going hungry, there was no extra money to buy candy.

It was the candy that Xu Zhiyi had brought to the village chief's wife, Grandma Hu Zi, and she would give him one every few days to satisfy his craving.

"Little boy, uncle apologizes to you and gives you some candy." Old Ma coaxed him in a gentle voice.

Hu Zi took the candy, quickly peeled off the candy wrapper and put one in his mouth.

"Wow~ It's delicious. Fragrant and sweet. Hu Zi loves it."

Hu Zi thought this strange uncle was very nice and gave him such delicious White Rabbit milk candy.

Suddenly I remembered that I was still playing hide-and-seek, "Uncle, I have to hide quickly, or Goudan will come and catch me."

"Oh~ Where do you want to hide? Take uncle with you there, okay? I can give you five candies."

As he said this, he opened one hand and showed five fingers.

Hu Zi looked at his fingers, wow, so much candy.

With sparkling eyes, she said, "Uncle, I'll take you there, but you can't tell anyone else."

As he spoke, he took Lao Ma's hand and ran towards the hillside, until he came to a pile of corn stalks.

Then he dug at the pile and crawled in.

"Uncle, this is it. Goudan never finds me. Come in quickly and don't get discovered."

Old Ma's eyes flashed with impatience, but he still coaxed Hu Zi, "I'll squat here, no one can see me."

As he said this, he went around and squatted behind him. Hu Zi came out from the other side, staring at him.

"Uncle will ask you a few questions. If you answer them correctly, I will give you candy."

“Is there an educated youth like Xu Zhiyi in the village?”

Hu Zi answered very quickly, "Yes! Sister Zhiyi gave me candy! And meat, delicious meat."

As he spoke, he licked the corner of his mouth, savoring the taste; the candy in his mouth had not yet completely melted.

"Did she kill the wild boar?"

"Yes! A really big wild boar, and my dad, and my uncle Shitou."

In Hu Zi's memory, many people said that Sister Zhiyi killed a wild boar.

But he saw that it was his father and several uncles in the village who were carrying the wild boar back to the village without any fear.

The child had simple thoughts and a natural admiration for his father, so he naturally thought that the wild boar was killed together with his father.

When Old Ma heard the child say this, he finally understood. The child would never lie.

That story about the female educated youth having infinite strength is obviously fake just by thinking about it.

Maybe the men used a little force when hunting the wild boar.

The people in the village are the dumbest, they will definitely believe whatever that person says.

Lao Ma sneered and gradually came up with an idea in his mind.

She's just a female educated youth from the city, how powerful can she be?

As long as he waits until she is alone, he can take her down by himself.

She caught Lao Hei at that time, which must have been because she discovered that the hats had ambushed and captured him in advance.

Old Ma looked at the chubby child, who was strong and cute, and was sure to fetch a good price.

Ever since Lao Hei was arrested, the thread in his hand was broken.

He was addicted to gambling and had almost no money left.

This time, in order to avenge Lao Hei, he had no money left in his pocket.

Thinking of this, Lao Ma took out a white handkerchief from his pocket with a gloomy face and covered Hu Zi's mouth.

Soon, Hu Zi was knocked unconscious by the drug on the handkerchief.

The place was remote and there was no one around, so Lao Ma still cautiously carried the child around in a big circle.

By the time we reached the main road, we were already more than ten kilometers away from Xiangyang Village.

The accomplice who had been waiting here for a long time took out a sack and put Hu Zi in it.

Then the strong man followed Lao Ma with the sack on his shoulder without saying a word.

When they arrived at a remote house in the county town, Erhei put down the sack in his hand and asked with a rough breath.

"Brother Ma, why did you bring a child back? Didn't you say you were going to capture a woman?"

"The woman will catch him. Lock this child up with the one in the cellar. Remember to feed them some drugs every day. It's not easy for us to come here, so we have to make some money."

The familiar gloom returned to Lao Ma's face.

Erhei didn't care about anything and just did whatever Lao Ma said.

Here, Lao Ma knocked the child unconscious and brought him back to the county town without the villagers noticing.

Children are used to running around in the village and won’t want to go home until dark.

Sometimes adults have to pull their ears to bring them back.

Goudan led a group of children and shouted everywhere in the village.

"Huzi! Huzi! Come out quickly, you win."

"Tiger~"

The children shouted one after another.

The adults who had just finished work were resting at home and preparing dinner.

Some villagers were not surprised to hear the children shouting.

As it got dark, the children still hadn't returned home, and the adults went out to look for their children.

When the village chief's wife saw that her beloved grandson had not returned yet, she prepared to go out to catch him as usual.

I was still a little angry. I had so much fun that I didn't even go home. It seemed like I wanted to eat stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat again.

As he said this, he picked up the bamboo stick at the door and prepared to hit Hu Zi a few times to teach him a lesson.

I knew that Shitou was running towards the door in a hurry, speaking quickly.

"Auntie, Hu Zi is missing!
