Chapter 11 - Missing
Lin Xiaoyin couldn’t see Su Qin’s appearance, but Meng Sisi and Wenmei didn’t look big either.
Especially Meng Sisi, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a child. Miss Lin, who was scolded as a “stupid”, hugged her padded jacket, went to the corner, leaned against the wall, and fell asleep wrapped in the padded jacket.
In the middle of the night, I dreamed that Zhang Xing was pressing on her body, and there was a sour smell lingering on the tip of her nose, and she cried uncomfortably.
She lived to be twenty years old, and she has always been the baby of her family. At school, the little sisters around her also let her, and she has never suffered this kind of hardship.
She remembered Li Chuan’s indifferent tone, and her chest hurt.
The three girls heard her sobbing and pretended not to hear her, and soon fell asleep.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Uncle Wen, who was guarding the temple, saw Lin Xiaoyin huddled in the corner and was startled: “Mr. Lin? How can you sleep here? Teacher Lin?”
The old man bent down and patted her on the shoulder.
Lin Xiaoyin woke up from the dream, her body trembled with fright, she saw that it was an old man, her face was pale.
Sunlight poured in from the antique pane, and mottled light and shadow fell on the girl’s white and tender skin. She pursed her lips, looked up at the old man, and subconsciously grabbed the old man’s wrist, “Don’t… don’t send me back.”
It was not the first day here. The three girls, like yesterday, divided the dry food into two parts, ate one part and wrapped the other part in cloth.
They are ready to escape at any time, and these dry food can be prepared for emergencies.
Meng Sisi took a bite of the corn bun, wrapped in food, and said vaguely, “Grandpa Wen, she was forced to come up. Last night…”
The little girl talked about what happened last night. Although she didn’t explain it clearly, seeing Lin Xiaoyin’s disheveled appearance, Uncle Wen probably guessed what was going on.
Uncle Wen slammed his fist on the window and said angrily: “This beast, beast! Even the teacher will not let go! Our village will be destroyed by his hands sooner or later!”
The villagers have always respected the teachers who came from outside.
First, it is because these teachers are sent by the township government. If there is any accident, I am afraid that there will be no teachers who dare to come here to teach in the future. Then the children will not learn knowledge and will stay in this mountain for the rest of their lives.
Uncle Wen has two granddaughters, and he hopes that the two granddaughters can learn knowledge, go out of the mountain village, and enter the university to earn a lot of money. Instead of staying in the mountains, getting married, having babies, and living in a daze.
This Zhang Xing, even the teacher did not let go, this is to force the village to a dead end!
Uncle Wen’s son and daughter-in-law died unexpectedly last year when he went out to work. Uncle Wen always felt that it was related to the sins of the villagers and was retribution.
Therefore, in order to accumulate virtue for his granddaughter and grandson, he turned a blind eye to these abducted girls. Uncle Wen knew that Zhang Xing was brave, but he didn’t expect that the stinky boy was so brave that even the support teacher dared to interfere.
But if he took Teacher Lin back to denounce Zhang Xing, would the villagers help him, or Zhang Xing?
Uncle Wen was at a loss. If the villagers all help Zhang Xing, then he… I’m afraid he won’t live long.
Su Qin could also see that Uncle Wen was hesitating and struggling with her conscience. She interjected, “Grandpa Wen, let Teacher Lin stay here for two days. If you let her go back now, clarify the matter, if Village Chief Zhang I persuaded other villagers and brought the villagers to target you. At that time… I am afraid that the other two teachers will be implicated.”
This is also what Uncle Wen is worried about. He took Lin Xiaoyin back with such a big fanfare and denounced Zhang Xing’s mother and son, but once the villagers were on their side, the other two teachers who knew the truth would not even want to leave the village alive.
Most of the villagers in their village have only been to Tongluo Township in their entire lives, and very few people in the village apply for household registration and ID cards. Even if the population of their village disappears, the judicial personnel outside will not know about it.
As for Uncle Wen, why he insisted on sending his two granddaughters to school was because he had seen the big city.
Uncle Wen went to the city to collect the bodies of his son and daughter-in-law last year. He was shocked by the prosperity of the big city, where there are high-rise buildings, endless cars, and splendid buildings everywhere.
Uncle Wen will never forget the policewoman who received her, nor the female forensic doctor who invited him to dinner.
All the glamorous working girls live so glamorous in the city… At that time, the old man thought that he would also let his two granddaughters come to the city in the future.
…
When Lin Xiaoyin heard that the old man was going to take her back to the village, she shook her head and said, “Father, don’t take me back, I’ll wait here, wait for Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang to bring the police. Don’t tell anyone that I’m here, wait for me. After you go out, I’ll give you money, a lot of money.”
She remembered something and said, “If I remember correctly, you are Xiuxiu’s grandfather, right? When I get home, I will repay you and buy beautiful clothes for Xiuxiu. As long as you can help me, what conditions do I have? I promise you, our family is rich and has a lot of money.”
“Okay, I’ll help you, you don’t need to send Xiuxiu clothes,” Uncle Wen looked at Lin Xiaoyin who was huddled in the corner, and said, “You promise me that when you go back, pick up my Xiuxiu from the mountains and arrange for her to go to the city. go to school, okay?”
“Okay! Anything is fine! My family has money, and it’s no problem to sponsor her to go to university!” Lin Xiaoyin’s expression was obviously distorted.
“Okay, come with me.” Uncle Wen took a sip of the hookah and said to her.
Lin Xiaoyin got up, her legs were numb, and followed Uncle Wen to the backyard.
The old man took her into the firewood room, took out a bundle of firewood, vacated a place where people could squat, and instructed her, “You stay here for the past few days and don’t come out. I will give you food and water regularly. “
Lin Xiaoyin squatted over, and the old man took another big backpack to cover her whole body.
Before the basket was covered, Lin Xiaoyin stopped him: “Is this… necessary?”
“Yes.” Uncle Wen’s brows and eyes were gentle, and the folds on his face moved when he spoke, “You can think of a safe place, and they can naturally think of it. It’s safer to hide it this way.”
Lin Xiaoyin squatted down, the old man covered her whole body with a basket, and covered her with firewood.
She asked, “I’m squatting here… When can I come out?”
“Didn’t you say that Teacher Zhang will come to you?” The old man sighed and said, “But I can only take you in for ten days. If they haven’t brought someone to rescue you after ten days, I don’t dare to stay here. you.”
Lin Xiaoyin remembered the ugly faces of Zhang Xing’s mother and son, and immediately held back, squatting in place, not daring to move.
At the same time, two major events alarmed the whole village.
At five o’clock in the morning, after the villagers sent away Teacher Zhang, they found that Teacher Lin was missing.
Not only that, Zhang Erwa also disappeared, Zhang Feng stood in front of the village chief’s house and yelled: “My second baby is gone, you don’t go looking for it, now it’s alright, even Teacher Lin is gone! I see you How can the village chief explain to Li Xiangli! How can I explain it to the county government!”
Zhang Xing’s mother and son had a ghost in their hearts, and they looked at each other and said, “So, today, we will go to the mountains to find Erwa and Teacher Lin. Maybe the two of them have seen the right eye, and they are gone.”
The villagers looked at each other in dismay, and felt that it was unlikely.
Eight-year-old Zhang Xiuxiu stood in the crowd with her younger sister on her back. She listened to the village chief and retorted: “Impossible! Teacher Lin doesn’t like Brother Erwa, Teacher Lin likes people like Teacher Li! Not only Teacher Lin, we All girls love Teacher Li!”
Zhang Xiuxiu’s brother slapped her on the forehead: “Sister, can’t you be more reserved? Be careful grandpa spanks you!”
The disappearance of two people in the village has caused panic among the villagers.
Li Chuan leaned against the door frame and looked at the group of villagers coldly with a look of indifference. But once someone met his gaze, he immediately showed a warm gaze and a smile.
The eight-year-old girl stared at Li Chuan, wandering in her mind.
Teacher Li is the most handsome man she has ever met. The little girl secretly swore in her heart that she would study hard in order to see Teacher Li more often in the future.
Zhang Xing called the villagers into groups to go up the mountain to find people.
The most dangerous and difficult part of Zhangjiagou’s back mountain was assigned to Yun Fei’s mother and son. Zhang Erwa also happened to be locked in the cave in that mountain.
At night, the villagers had nothing to gain and were even more frightened.
someone said:
“Wouldn’t it be the blind bears in the mountains who ate Zhang Erwa and Teacher Lin?”
“Impossible, I haven’t seen a blind bear in the mountains for many years.”
“Then how do you explain the disappearance of Teacher Lin and Erwa? I said, it was an outsider who came to the village, and the mountain **** got angry and took away Teacher Lin…”
The villagers were arguing.
Zhang Xing’s mother and son had ghosts in mind, and the two of them thought of a place at the same time.
Lin Xiaoyin, a girl from the city could not dare to squat in the mountains for the night, so she is very likely to go to the mountain temple.
