rebirth of cataclysm

"Then I'll call the other two to see if they've found anything?"

Hu Mingchen took out his mobile phone and started making calls, but Hu Jianqiang and the others were able to get through on that route. They had already passed the Xianren Bridge and were almost on the street of Fang'er Town. No suspicious people or cattle were found on the route between Tong Baoliang and Zhang Qingping.

, the signal is too poor and the call cannot be made at all.

Tong Baiguo and Hu Jianjun discussed it and told Hu Jianqiang and the others to stop looking and come back. There were more traffic roads in Fanger Town and there would be no clear direction. As for Tong Bailiang and Zhang Qingping, they were probably in the valley on the other side of Qingshui River.

You, if you don’t have a signal, if they haven’t discovered it when they get to Qingshui River, they should go home on their own.

Hu Mingchen was holding a strange little thing and talking on the phone, which soon attracted some kids who got up early, and several of them came to look at his peepshow. One of them was his cousin Zhu Jin.

"Zhu Jin, why are you here? Where are your parents?" Hu Jianjun pulled Zhu Jin forward and asked.

"Second uncle, my parents went to work in the mountains." Zhu Jin is already six years old, and his crotch is still a little unstable, but it does not prevent him from recognizing Hu Jianjun and Hu Mingchen.

"Going up the mountain, so early... Where is your sister Zhu Yan? Has she gone to school?" Hu Jianjun thought when he thought that he had asked Tong Baiguo to go to Hu Youqin's house for a cup of tea just now, but now he is not at home.

It's a bit difficult.

"Not yet, my sister is cooking sweet potatoes. Second uncle, do you want to eat a sweet potato?" Zhu Jin asked childishly.

"Brother, it's better not to cause trouble to the baby. Let's go to my sister's house. We can get something to eat at her house and then walk back. If we can't find the cow, I'll admit it's bad luck." Tong Baiguo said.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Tong Baimei was also married in Wenshan Village, but it's just not appropriate to go to her house so early, right?" Hu Jianjun said.

It's so early, either people haven't gotten up yet, or if they get up, they have to go to the mountains and work in the fields. If you go now, you will cause trouble.

"Oh, what is inappropriate? I am the eldest brother. When I arrive in the village, I go to my sister and brother-in-law's house to have breakfast. Is there anything inappropriate? Let's go, let's go. They usually don't go out to work so early."

Tong Baiguo said, grabbing Hu Jianjun and leaving.

"Okay, Xiaochen, let's go, Zhu Jin, go home quickly. My sister will go to school later, and you have to stay at home to look after the house." It was not convenient for Hu Jianjun to take Zhu Jin with him, so he could only urge him to go home.

.

Tong Baiguo's sister, Tong Baimei, lives at the west end of Wenshan Village, which is on the edge of the village. The back door of his house is close to the road, but the terrain of the road is high. His house is under the road ridge, and the main entrance and the courtyard dam at the entrance are from

You can only see the toilet on the side after going around.

Tong Baiguo led Hu Jianjun and Hu Mingchen to the door of Tong Baimei's house. The door was ajar. Tong Baiguo pushed the door in without knocking: "Cai Dinggui, Cai Dinggui, Tong Baimei..."

"Oh, brother, why are you here?" The door of the wing room opened, and Tong Baiguo's sister, Tong Baimei, walked out.

The strange thing is that when Tong Baimei saw Tong Baiguo, she did not seem to be happy or surprised, but instead had nervousness and surprise on her face.

"Third sister, you're up, where is Cai Dinggui? You went out to work and you still haven't gotten up?" Tong Baiguo didn't notice the strange look on Tong Baimei's face, "Hey, third sister, don't you know Brother Hu? Why?"

Why don’t you greet people?”

"Oh, oh, Brother Hu, do it quickly, do it quickly, Cai Dinggui is still in bed and hasn't gotten up yet, and I just got up. You guys do it first, and I'll call him up." After being reminded, Tong Baimei called out to Hu Jianjun.

Hu Mingchen is a little kid, so he doesn't need much greeting. If he likes to sit, he will find a bench to sit on.

However, Hu Mingchen was not in the mood to sit down at this time. He was looking around with interest, just like an ordinary child in a strange place. He was restless anyway.

Two or three minutes after Tong Baimei entered the wing bedroom, Tong Baiguo's brother-in-law Cai Dinggui came out while getting dressed: "Haha, brother, why did you think of coming to Wenshan Village so early? Oops, Brother Hu is here too."

Cai Dinggui looked relatively normal, smiling, but his pair of mischievous little eyes flickered from side to side on his thin face, a little absent-minded.

"If there was nothing wrong, I would have come up here in Wenshan Village at dawn. My cow was stolen in the middle of the night last night. We came here looking for the cow..." Tong Baiguo

He sighed.

"Ah!" Tong Baimei exclaimed when she heard that a cow was coming.

After shouting, I realized that it was inappropriate and quickly covered my mouth.

"What's your name? Really, hurry up and boil some water, make some tea, and see if there is any noodles. If so, cook two bowls of noodles. Brother, they have traveled such a long way, they must be thirsty and hungry.

." Cai Dinggui waved Tong Baimei away with dissatisfaction.

"Oh, okay, okay." Tong Baimei moved towards the kitchen, but she walked slowly, looking back every two or three steps, as if she was worried that her elder brother's cow had been stolen.

"This woman is not stable when things happen. The eldest brother smokes, and the second brother Hu smokes." After Tong Baimei entered the kitchen, Cai Dinggui picked up a pack of cigarettes from the Eight Immortals table under the shrine and spread the cigarettes for Tong Baiguo and Hu Jianjun.

"Brother, how did you know that the cattle rustlers were coming to Wenshan Village? Did you see the cattle rustlers? Or did you discover something?" Cai Dinggui asked with interest after helping the two of them light cigarettes.

"When we found out that the cow had been stolen, the shadow of the cow was gone. We divided into several roads to search. Brother Hu and I went to Wenshan Village. We found some footprints and cowbirds along the way, but we were not sure.

Oh, it's really embarrassing

Shit, my cow has only been fed for less than a year. If I catch that cow thief, I won't stone him to death." Tong Baiguo gritted his teeth at the thought of the cow worth several thousand yuan missing.

, so I smoked very loudly.

"Yes, these cow thieves really deserve to die. It's not easy to feed a cow. You just steal it. Brother, take a breath, drink some water and eat something. I'll go look for it with you later."

Cai Dinggui said with indignation.

"What else are you looking for? I haven't found it until dawn. It must be difficult, not to mention there is no clear direction." Hu Jianjun said.

"Yeah, forget it, I think I'm unlucky. Damn it, that bastard who stole the cattle. Even if I sell the cattle, it won't be enough to bury his whole family." Tong Baiguo cursed in frustration.

"Yes, yes, if a cow is stolen, his family will not be rich. Such people will be punished." Cai Dinggui echoed awkwardly.

Hu Mingchen had been watching everything with a cold eye, whether it was the environment or Cai Dinggui and Tong Baimei. It didn't matter if he didn't observe. The more he observed, the more confused he became. He even noticed that after Tong Baimei entered the kitchen, she was not busy boiling water or making breakfast.

Instead of entertaining guests, he hid behind the curtain at the kitchen door and eavesdropped on the conversations in the main room.

"Brother, Brother Hu, please sit down first. Why hasn't the tea been brought out yet? I'm going to check if Tong Baimei can't find the tea?" Seeing Hu Mingchen staring at the kitchen door, Cai Dinggui followed and glanced.

When she got Tong Baimei's shoes, her face darkened, and then she stood up and forced out a smile.

"Uncle Tong, Dad, let me go outside for a walk." Cai Dinggui went to the kitchen, and Hu Mingchen also stood up from the bench at the door.

"You can wander around, but don't go too far. You're not familiar with this place." Hu Jianjun nodded and warned.

"I know, I'll take a look at the courtyard."

...

"Cai Dinggui, didn't you say that the cow you brought back was from Longjiazhai? Tell me honestly, is the cow you stole back from my eldest brother's family?" As soon as Cai Dinggui entered the kitchen, he pushed Tong Bamei down to the stove, but

Before he could speak, Tong Baimei grabbed his clothes and questioned him.

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down... Why are you talking about these special codes at this time? Send them away first." Cai Dinggui quickly covered Tong Baimei's mouth and lowered his voice.

Although Cai Dinggui did not admit it, he did not deny it either.

"Let me go and tell me." Tong Baimei shook off Cai Dinggui's hand and glared at him and asked.

In fact, Cai Dinggui acquiesced, but Tong Baimei just refused to give up.

"Yes, I admit it..." Cai Dinggui sighed and admitted through gritted teeth.

"Are you still a human being? You stole my brother's cows too." Tong Baimei punched Cai Dinggui in the chest, but she seemed to be on guard. She didn't curse too loudly. She was still afraid of being raped by the children outside.

Bai Guo and Hu Jianjun heard: "Who did you attack wrongly? You actually hit my eldest brother's head with your brains. You have been stabbed a thousand times. How can I have the face to face his family in the future? I

I think you might as well just die."

"Oh, you can't blame me. It was Shen Laosan who did it. I didn't steal it. I only found out after he stole it. I couldn't return it at that time. What's the use of talking about it now?

They've all been stolen, so we can only pretend not to know. I'm not doing it just for myself, but also for this family." Cai Dinggui looked around without feeling confident.

"Why can't anyone get the idea to go to my eldest brother's house? No, the cow must be returned. I don't care about other things, but this one just won't work." Tong Baimei became a little excited.

"Repay, return, how to pay it back now? Are you going to tell him that it was Shen Laosan and I who stole his cow? Does that mean I go to jail or do you want me to fight with your brother? Even if I am willing, I still want to pay it back now.

Do you have the dignity to go back? Your eldest and second brother’s family think you are a good girl?” Cai Dinggui said with a serious face.

"...I don't care about these."

"You... do you think this is okay? This thing cannot be admitted. When I sell the cow, at worst, I will find a way to compensate him for the money from the sale of the cow. I will throw the money away to him."

Is it okay to let his family pick up the money as soon as they wake up at the door of their house..." In order to appease Tong Baimei, Cai Dinggui said nonsense using his brain.
