Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Gao Fafa is only nine years old this year. Although he will be able to become famous in the future, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Mingcheng have not had much social contact with each other. They are so many years apart!
The reason why Gao Fafa is missing now is also very simple, that is, when he was studying in school, people from other villages said that Gao Fafa had taken his pen, and then took Gao Fafa's pen away.

But Gao Fafa was not a vegetarian. He gathered a group of people from Gaojiacun and started fighting. The two sides fought fiercely.

After the incident, Gao Fafa's father hit Gao Fafa with a stick. Gao Fafa received a beating and was forced to press his head and tell others he was sorry.

Afterwards, Gao Fafa's father went back to the village to work in the fields, but after school, Gao Fafa didn't come back.

But this is not unusual in the village. Nowadays, children are playing wildly all over the mountains and plains, and the adults will not control them at all.

Anyway, by the time it’s time to eat, the hungry children will naturally come back.

Or when the meal is cooked, stand at the door and shout the child's name loudly, asking him to come back for dinner. When the child hears the call, he will come back in a hurry.

But this time, no matter how much the family shouted, Gao Fafa didn't come back. Gao Fafa's parents went to find the children who usually played with Gao Fafa. Only then did they realize that Gao Fafa had disappeared after school. Didn't come back with them.

At this time, Gao Fafa's parents became anxious. First they mobilized their own relatives to look for him, and then mobilized the whole village to look for him. After that, everyone in the village committee and the brigade knew about it.

The teachers at the school didn't even get a break and hurriedly helped to find someone.

It is common for children to hide when they are wronged.

After learning what happened, Gao Mingcheng frowned. He was willing to help find someone, but it was so confusing and difficult to find.

Fortunately, someone brought the latest news, saying that they had seen Gao Fafa walking towards Junling.

After having a specific direction, a group of people headed towards Junling.

Gao Mingcheng also followed the crowd. Seeing Gao Zhuang coming, he whispered: "Don't go, there are enough people."

There are old and young in Gao Zhuang's family, but he is the only young and strong man.

Gao Zhuang saw that there were twenty or thirty people who were looking for him. It was true that there was only one person more than him and not more than one person less than him. So he hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll go back first."

After Gao Zhuang left, several familiar people came around Gao Mingcheng. They were all people who had played with him before, including Gao Liang and the others.

Several people are similar in age, some are married, and some are still single.

Gao Liang said: "Gao Fafa is probably afraid of being beaten. His father is very fierce. Gao Fafa is also naughty. He usually gets beaten by his father."

"Which parent in the village doesn't spank their children? We were spanked too often when we were children!"

"That's right, my dad beat me with a stick and kicked me, and my mom was even more cruel. She hit my calf with a bamboo stick. It was so painful!"

"Haha, I still remember one time when Ming Cheng's father wanted to beat him, Ming Cheng climbed up a tree and refused to come down!"

Several young people reminisced about their rich childhood, and then someone mentioned something embarrassing about Gao Mingcheng's childhood.

Gao Mingcheng could only smile helplessly after hearing this.

Parents in the past believed that a stick will produce a filial son. If a child does something wrong, he will be beaten first.

Originally, the parents were upset after a long day's work, but as a result, the children were still naughty, so why not find an opportunity to vent?
As for educating their children, most parents can't do much. They don't know much, and they can't explain the big principles.

Once the child is beaten and obedient, that's all.

Because he knew nothing serious would happen to Gao Fengfa, Gao Mingcheng was relatively relaxed and talked about his childhood.Going to the mountains to pick wild fruits, going to the fields to steal other people's cucumbers, sweet potatoes, pears, melons, etc., and then being discovered and scolded by others, these are all topics for conversation.

They were chatting and laughing here, which was in sharp contrast to the anxiety of Gao Feng's parents and relatives.

After Gao Mingcheng noticed it, he immediately coughed twice and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. It's important to find someone! Gao Mingcheng is very smart. He went to Junling, maybe because he wanted to go to the county. But it's getting late now. It’s dark, he’s a little kid, he’s definitely not safe.”

"That's it, that's it. Find someone first." The young people were not completely ignorant of the ways of the world. They immediately stopped joking and turned their heads to look around, looking for the figure of Gao Invention.

Gao Mingcheng quickened his pace and walked in the front.

Following this road, you can go all the way to Junling, and then you can turn onto the national highway, but one side of the national highway goes to the county seat, and the other side goes to the next county. Gao Fangfa is only nine years old this year, and even if he has been to the county, he probably will not go there. Just once or twice.

Everyone walked in a hurry, but the sky waited for no one. By the time they reached the halfway point, it was completely dark.

Fortunately, someone had brought a flashlight in advance. With the light of the flashlight and the moonlight in the sky, we were able to travel smoothly, but our sight was affected and we couldn't see farther away.

So a group of people could only walk and shout Gao Fafa's name, hoping to find Gao Fafa as soon as possible.

But after arriving at Junling, Gao Fafa was not found.

Facing the dark national highway, a group of people were in trouble.

Where to find people?

If we look for them separately, how should we contact them if we find them?
"Let's look for him in the direction of the county seat. Uncle Fengfa, you can go look in the direction of the next county." Soon, Gao Fafa's father made a decision.

Everyone divided into two groups. Gao Mingcheng looked at the dark road and couldn't choose a direction for a while.

He stood there, thinking, if it were him, which way would he go?
After thinking for a while, he turned his head to the village of Junling. There were fifty or sixty households there, and most of them had wires connected and light bulbs installed.

So at night, the illuminated village creates an attraction.

Moreover, in the village, the sound of televisions and radios can be heard from time to time. These sounds also make the whole village lively.

Just imagine, what would a nine-year-old child choose when faced with an unknown road and a popular village?
Many people say that Gao Fengfa is like Gao Mingcheng, both are equally naughty and clever.

But if that were the case, then Gao Mingcheng would choose to spend the night in a popular village first, and then walk along the road during the day.

With this in mind, Gao Mingcheng changed direction and walked towards the village in Junling.

He had no specific goals and could only walk from house to house.

Sometimes when I meet villagers from Junling, I will chat with them and ask if I have seen a child from another village.

There was quite a lot of noise just now when they gathered together to look for someone, and people in Junling also noticed it. Now Gao Mingcheng has entered the village, and Gao Mingcheng is quite famous. Everyone in the village recognizes him, so they start asking.

When they learned that a nine-year-old boy had run away from home, everyone shook their heads and said they had never seen him before.

Even so, Gao Mingcheng did not give up. He walked from house to house, paying special attention to their pyres.

So we walked all the way to Huang Dazhi's parents' house.

This side is more remote, but Huang Dazhi's parents' house also has wires pulled out and light bulbs turned on.

As soon as I approached the house, I heard Xiaoguai's laughter. It turned out to be Huang Dazhi's younger brother, Huang Xiaoan, telling Xiaoguai a story. (End of chapter)
