This passerby is too calm

Chapter 271 269. So five days ago, you met her?
……

"Because of an accident, my things fell into a drain at the back of the hut. I was small, so I got in without thinking... I was the aunt I saw that time. I went in and met people. , Only then did I realize, where is this, I wanted to go out but it was too late, the length of the auntie's rope could reach the position where I was standing, and it was too late to climb out at that time.

Because when Grandma and the others were chatting, they said that my aunt was crazy, that she would bite people when she saw people, and that if she knocked out a tooth, she would bite off a piece of human flesh. I was almost scared out of my mind.I was very scared, but the more I was scared, the more I lost my voice. Seeing my aunt dragging the chain and walking towards me a little bit, I was so scared that I cried and curled up in the corner.

But my aunt came over and just pointed to a transparent plastic bag in my hand, which contained the wild mulberry and red snake fruit I picked.She was indeed like what A Niang and the others said, speaking crazily and making up her mind, but she didn't hurt me at that time, she just said that she was hungry and asked if I could give her something from the bag..."

Chen Mo listened quietly, and his men chopped the wood into firewood.While nodding, he responded to what the little girl said.

"She's hungry?"

"Well, she hasn't eaten for days."

"It feels like you know her very well, and you like her appearance very much."

"Correct."

Wang Erya didn't refute. Although the little girl looks small, her eyes are indeed extraordinarily bright and agile. The logic of her language is much clearer than that of seven or eight-year-old children of the same age, and her speech is very clear.

"Because I noticed that thatched hut after seeing it that time, and every time I passed by, I would try to crawl in, bring her something to eat, and ask her if she was hungry. My aunt never hurt me. When I grew up, I went to see her every now and then. But because of the rumors in the village, I didn't tell anyone, let alone my brother and my parents, I, Li Goudan, didn't tell either, because I was afraid that he would tell his grandma... "

"I think what Auntie and the others said is wrong. My aunt is not a crazy woman. She is very gentle, and occasionally she can talk to people soberly. Every time I bring something to her, she will smile at me. Later, she took Stone taught me how to read. I learned many things from her, and she gave me many principles. When my aunt was awake, she told me that her previous dream was to be a teacher. She liked to touch Holding my head, holding a stone to teach me to write, she told me that girls should also be able to read.

I like my aunt very much...even though she seldom wakes up, most of the time she likes to talk nonsense, but I still like to play with her.Since I was a child, I have been envious of my brother who can read and write, but I am a girl. Many girls in the village don’t study. Grandma and they all say that reading is a waste of time. Girls can go out to work and supplement the family when they grow up... …I think what they said is right, but I think what my aunt said is also right. I want to read and don’t want to go out to work in the future, and I don’t even know street signs. "

Chen Mo arranged the chopped firewood on the hemp rope one by one according to the way the little girl arranged it before.Putting his hands on the handle of the axe, he sat down on the remaining fallen tree trunk and listened carefully to the little girl's recollection of her memories.

It is very strange, this is not the outpouring of a few words from the victim who was in distress and despair when he was in an accident before, nor is it the record on the paperwork written by the police when handling the case, nor is it the system that made him fall into a dream several times, but a bystander. The author's true narration.This is the first time he has heard these stories from a perspective other than the victims.

Chen Mo nodded.

"call--"

Take a long breath.Chen Mo looked around at the picturesque mountain villages around him, feeling a little depressed in his heart at this moment.

When beauty and cruelty appear at the same time, it is always depressing.

After a while, Chen Mo regained his senses from the icy edges and snow-covered vegetation all over the mountain, and turned his head to look at the little girl.

Because I have come into contact with too many such things, it can be said that I have grown up in various cases since I was a child.While feeling cruel, it is difficult for him to be emotional like other people. Although the emotions are complicated, most of the time, reason still has the absolute upper hand.He also sometimes felt sober and cruel.

He hardly did it deliberately, but when the little girl was talking, his habit of thinking made him immediately notice the subtle changes in the little girl's emotions when she said something, as well as the incongruous logic in the words. .He didn't avoid the little girl, and asked directly.

"Actually, I've always had doubts. I feel that listening to what you said before... When you said that someone in the village was chatting, I guessed that your aunt had the idea of ​​​​running away before. She stole everything in the village. You seem to be It doesn't look weird."

Chen Mo asked lightly, his tone didn't look aggressive, just like the snow-covered pines and cypresses all over the mountain, clear and calm, with a soothing meaning.Asked like a normal chat.

Based on the little girl's familiarity with and liking for the aunt who was locked in the thatched hut, when she heard the villagers say that the aunt stole things, her first reaction should be anger. With her temper, she should show dislike in the description just now. Auntie's defense was right, but she didn't refute it.

This kind of reaction is wrong, more like her...

On the day the woman disappeared five days ago, seeing her, or seeing something made her confirm that the woman stole those things.

Hearing the words, the little girl opened her mouth slightly, looked at Chen Mo in surprise, and stopped in mid-speak.But when Chen Mo looked back, he suddenly lowered his head, his little hands were clenched tighter than before, the knuckles turned white with such force, and he suddenly took some precautions.

At this time, she realized that she had said so much to this big brother unknowingly.

Swallowing, Wang Erya pursed her lips tightly.

Although she felt that this big brother was very nice and easy-going, his whole person exuded a very comfortable aura, which made people unconsciously relax and talk to him.But because he lived in this mountain village since he was a child, although he couldn't explain it clearly, he knew that there were many unwritten rules.Or numb cruelty.

She could say everything before... But she was keenly aware of what happened next, saying it might bring danger to her aunt.Therefore, Wang Erya woke up in that very relaxed atmosphere, and hurriedly stopped before the words escaped her mouth.

Sensing the vigilance of the little girl, Chen Mo didn't feel anything, smiled gently, and said:
"I won't hurt her, and I won't say anything to the village."

Seeing the girl looking up at him tentatively, he explained with a smile.

"My father is a policeman, not here, but in another province and city far away from here. He has handled similar cases before, and he has also rescued women like your aunt in the village. So I and you It's the same attitude, if that aunt really wants to run away and never come back, I'm as happy for her as you are.

Out of habit, I asked a few more questions subconsciously.If you don't want to continue talking, I won't ask any more..."

The girl's eyes were indeed bright at this time, and she looked at Chen Mo with agile eyes, and said hurriedly, "There is nothing I can't say." In fact, she was also worried about her aunt these days, whether she could really escape, whether she would Got caught again.

Maybe Chen Mo is a person who gives people a sense of security, plus what he said.The little girl gradually regained her trust.

"Well, because I saw her five days ago. That's right, it was the day my aunt disappeared. I happened to visit her that day. I just learned from Li Goudan that his grandma's chickens and ducks were lost. I was thinking Share this with my aunt. But when I climbed in through the drain, there was no one in the house.

The rope that had been binding my aunt was untied. At first I thought it was my aunt's son, but I finally let her out, and I was happy for her.But when I inadvertently noticed that there were two dead chickens and ducks tied up with ropes in the corner, I realized something was wrong. The chicken, duck and Li Goudan described his grandma to me. The lost poultry were identical in color.

It wasn't until later that they said that my aunt had run away, that I vaguely guessed what my aunt was going to do that day.I was just a little sad and didn't say the last word to my aunt, but she was able to escape, and I was very happy for her.The eldest brother promised me not to tell the people in the village, I hope she is well. "

really.

"Well, I promise you."

Chen Mo nodded, but there was no idea what emotion flashed in his lowered eyebrows.

It seems that the chatterbox has been opened, and the little girl said a lot of things to Chen Mo.Until the sun was about to set, the valley was infiltrated with orange-red in the evening, as if Zhu Dan had used the color of water to smudge the snow-white, beautiful like a picture scroll.It's time for the two of them to go back.

Chen Mo watched the little girl tie up the firewood with a rope. It was amazing. After a while, the little girl used a hemp rope to firmly carry a bundle of firewood on her back.Chen Mo found it interesting, and studied with the child for a long while.

……

"Ah? Are you back from chopping firewood? There's quite a lot of firewood chopping today."

"Ah? Yes... yes, Uncle Zhao."

"Little girl is really capable, it will be a blessing for any man to marry you in the future..."

"Uncle Zhao!" Wang Erya was a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha, the little girl is still shy. By the way, do your parents have something to go out these two days?"

"Well, yes. They are going out for a while, and it seems to be going to the city to do some shopping."

"Hey, it must be a good buy, so will they take you?"

"If elder brother is here, he may still bring elder brother with him. How could he bring me with him? I still have to work at home to earn a living."

"Ang, that's it..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Erya wanted to leave, and she had to rush back to cook.

Although it is in the same village, Uncle Zhao's house is quite far from theirs, and he doesn't walk around very often. In addition, Uncle Zhao belongs to the kind of old man in the village, and he lives alone and doesn't walk around with others. I seldom see him, in fact, I am not very familiar with him.It's just to the extent that you will say hello when you see it.I don't know why Uncle Zhao suddenly talked to her so much today.

"Hey, little girl, are you back?!"

Just at this moment, a loud voice came from behind, interrupting the man's conversation with Wang Erya.

It is said that the little fat man stayed outside for a day today, and after thinking about some things, he agreed to the program team and came back to continue recording.

He stayed outside for a long time today, because he was so wronged, he ran a long way, and found someone to borrow a mobile phone to call his sister.

At first he felt aggrieved, but after thinking about it, he also felt that his sister was right.Boys who stand upright should protect girls and the weak, instead of bullying girls by relying on their own strength.He thought about it, and he really felt that he had done too much today.Even if he didn't want that little girl to listen to the show crew and call him brother, he couldn't take his anger on her.

He remembered that when he left, the little girl's knee seemed to be broken.

At this time, followed by the staff of the program team, the camera drooped its head, carrying the medicine and bandages bought from the pharmacy, kicking the stones on the side of the road, and walking towards the host home.Awkwardly thinking about how to apologize to the little girl.

But before she got home, from the moment she entered the village, she saw a little girl carrying two bundles of firewood that was much taller than her.He hurriedly took three or two steps to walk over, but saw a 50-year-old man walking up to the little girl one step ahead of him.

Looking at the man's mouth full of big yellow teeth that are about to rot, his hair is messed up as if he hasn't bathed for a long time, his eyes are drooping without any cover, it seems to have a gloomy feeling, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Comfortable.

The little fat man has followed his parents to face all kinds of people on various occasions all year round, not to mention other things, because he has met enough people, and he is still good at judging people.I don't know why he felt uncomfortable seeing this man.Even though the man slightly squatted down and talked to the little girl with a smile, he still felt uncomfortable looking at him.

It's like being entangled in a cold kelp and being pulled into the water.

So without thinking, he led a large group of people from the program group over and interrupted the conversation between the two.

The middle-aged man seemed to be extremely socially phobic, and he wasn't used to facing so many people. Even when someone was carrying a camera, he didn't even have time to say anything to the little girl, so he waved his hand and left.

"Little girl, who is that person?" The little fat man looked at the figure of the person leaving, and asked.

"Uncle Zhao at the entrance of the village."

Wang Erya said in a harsh tone, and walked home carrying firewood as she spoke.

"Wait for me. That uncle makes me feel very uncomfortable. Are you familiar with him?"

Wang Erya pursed her lips, she just carried the firewood and didn't speak.

The little fat man also knew that she must be feeling uncomfortable now, maybe in her heart, he might not be as good as that Uncle Zhao just now.
