Chapter 274 Missing
Wanshan's daughter-in-law left under our comfort, and no one took this matter to heart.

However, things seem to be not as simple as we imagined.

The banquet started at noon, and it was going to be in the evening. Just when people were busily preparing to continue drinking and celebrating at night, another middle-aged woman ran into the mountain temple in a panic. There was a little girl behind her. is her daughter.

I don't know this middle-aged woman. I heard that she is the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, and her husband's name is Chu Xin.

"Village head! Village head!" The daughter-in-law of the Chu family looked very flustered, as if something urgent had happened.

Fan Tianhua said: "Daughter-in-law of the Chu family, what's the matter with you again?"

The daughter-in-law of the Chu family said: "The village head, my family, Chu Xin, has not come back all day and night. I have searched all over the village, but I can't find Chu Xin's figure! I also checked the list of the dead, and there is no Chu Xin in the list of the dead. name!"

As soon as I heard about this, I felt that something was wrong. Hearing what the daughter-in-law of the Chu family said, it seemed that Chu Xin had also disappeared.This is really strange. At noon, Wanshan's wife came to say that Wanshan was missing, and in the afternoon, the Chu family's wife came to say that Chu Xin was missing.Two people disappeared in a row in the village within one day. No matter how you look at it, this incident is a bit unusual.

When Fan Tianhua heard this, he frowned immediately, and muttered to himself: "Why is someone missing again?"

I asked the person next to me about Chu Xin, and the person next to me told me that Chu Xin was only about 40 years old and was a well-known model husband in Fengxian Village.His daughter-in-law is not in good health, and Chu Xin undertakes all the rough and heavy work at home alone, never letting his wife intervene.Moreover, Chu Xin would greet his wife wherever he went, and would never leave without saying a word.

Chu Xin's situation is very similar to Wanshan's. Is there any connection between the two of them?

I didn't make a sound, and fell into deep thought in silence.

The village chief, Fan Tianhua, said to the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, "Did your man go out for something? Too late to say hello to you?"

The daughter-in-law of the Chu family shook her head like a rattle: "No! Absolutely not! I have been married to Chu Xin for more than ten years, and Chu Xin always greets me every day when I go out! And he knows that I am not in good health. I have to go home to cook for my daughter and me in the evening! But today I haven’t seen anyone all day! I also asked other people, but no one knows where he went!”

Chu Xin's daughter interjected, and said crisply: "Yes! Dad never fails to come home on time! Village chief, I beg you, please find my father quickly! I'm afraid my father will be in danger!"

Fan Tianhua comforted the daughter-in-law of the Chu family and said, "Well, you two, mother and daughter, go home and wait for the news. If Chu Xin still hasn't come home at night, I will arrange someone to help find it!"

"Thank you, village head! Thank you, village head!" The daughter-in-law of the Chu family thanked her a lot and left with her daughter.

A person next to him said: "Village Chief, this matter is a bit strange, why did Wanshan disappear, and Chu Xin also disappeared?"

Another person bit a peanut and said, "Did these two guys meet somewhere?"

The village head shook his head: "Probably not! Wanshan's family and Chu Xin's family seldom interact with each other on weekdays, so they are not particularly close. Moreover, they are both good men, and they have to report their whereabouts to their daughter-in-law wherever they go. It disappeared for no reason!"

The previous man said: "Village Chief, what do you mean, what happened to the two of them?"

The village chief said: "I'm not sure, and I can't make random guesses! But I can't figure it out. Both of them are big men in their 40s and [-]s. How could they disappear? Even if they are children in the village, they can't live in this mountain. You won't get lost, will you?"

Another person said: "Well, everyone, be careful. When the banquet is over, we will go to Wanshan's house and Chu Xin's house to check on the situation. If they haven't returned home yet, everyone will help you look around! "

This person's suggestion has been unanimously approved by everyone. The villagers in the mountains are very simple, and the folks in the big hometowns will help each other if they have difficulties.Unlike the people in the city, who are cold all day long, an iron general keeps all the warmth out of the door.Maybe even the neighbors next door don't know each other. This is really a kind of social tragedy!Many times I don't understand whether the civilization of this country is progressing or is it constantly regressing?

With Wan Shan and Chu Xin in mind, like two thorns, everyone's mood became a little heavy, and the wine was tasteless.The banquet ended earlier than expected, around nine o'clock in the evening. According to the agreement, everyone went to Wanshan and Chu Xin's homes in two groups to inquire about the situation.

Xiao Guoguo and I walked to Wanshan's house, on the way back, Xiao Guoguo asked me: "What do you think about this?"

"It's hard to say!" I shook my head: "This matter is indeed a bit strange! But the two of them are big men who are five big and three thick, where can they go? And they are natives of Fengxian Village, and they disappeared. People can't figure it out!"

Xiao Guoguo said: "Do you think this matter has something to do with that bastard wizard?"

My heart tightened for a moment: "Actually, I have thought about this question before. Could it be that the wizard came back to take revenge? But after thinking about it later, unless the wizard didn't want to live anymore, he couldn't possibly be still in Fengxian Village. stay!"

Xiao Guoguo nodded: "That's right! If that bastard wizard dares to show up in Fengxian Village, you must hand him over to me! This bastard actually took advantage of me. When I catch him in the future, he must be let He would rather die than live!" When she said this, Xiao Guoguo clenched her fists, and a cold light shot out from her eyes.

I couldn't help shivering, and tentatively asked: "If you really catch the wizard in the future, what are you going to do with him?"

Xiao Guoguo said bitterly; "Cut off his penis, and then I'll make wine for you!"

I drank a lot of wine that day. When I heard this, I felt my stomach churn. I opened my mouth and almost didn't spit out the wine in my stomach.

I frowned: "Why are you so disgusting?"

Xiao Guoguo suddenly smiled: "I'm thinking of you too! I always felt that you might be impotent, otherwise how could you not miss beautiful women? I'll use his penis to make wine for you, It can make up a lot!"

I sighed heavily, the current social atmosphere is really corrupt!

Back at Wanshan’s home, the room was quiet, Wanshan’s daughter-in-law and Wanning were sitting in front of the threshold in a daze, seeing us coming, Wanning quickly stood up: “Brother Tuobagu, sister Xiaoguoguo!”

"How is it? Big brother Wanshan is back?" I asked Wanshan's daughter-in-law.

Wan Shan's daughter-in-law shook her head, and looked out at the dark night with worry on her face: "What time is this, and there is still no news from Wan Shan, do you think something happened to him?"

In fact, I was still a little uneasy, but I couldn't show it. I could only comfort Wanshan's wife: "Don't worry! Big brother Wanshan is kind-hearted. Auspicious people have their own destiny, nothing will happen!"

"Yes! I believe that Dad will come back safely!" Wanning said.

Xiao Guoguo said, "Yes! Sister-in-law, you should be as confident as Wanning!"

Wanshan's daughter-in-law didn't speak, but just lowered her head and kept wiping away her tears.

Xiao Guoguo and I didn't have much to say, so we had to sit down in front of the threshold with the two of them.

The night is getting darker, and as time goes by, my mood is gradually dignified.

Xiao Guoguo whispered, "I have a premonition that Wanshan won't be coming back tonight!"

I looked back at Wanshan's daughter-in-law, she hadn't slept all night last night, and today she has been tossing and tossing for a whole day, didn't eat anything, was tired and sleepy, and fell asleep in a daze.Even in her sleep, there were still two lines of tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

Goooo!

Wanning's stomach groaned twice, and she looked at us shyly: "I'm hungry!"

"Did you not eat?" Xiao Guoguo asked.

Wan Ning said: "Dad didn't see anyone for a day, Mom was in a bad mood and didn't cook, we didn't eat for a day!"

"Wanning, wait, brother will get you a bowl of noodles!" I got up and walked into the kitchen.

"Thank you brother!" Wanning stuck out her tongue.

I went into the kitchen and ordered a bowl of noodles for Wanning, and put a fried egg on top of the noodles, and handed it to Wanning.

Wanning said thank you, eagerly took the noodles, lowered her head, and started to eat in a hurry.

At this moment, the village head rushed to Wanshan's house with a few people.

"How is it? Is Wanshan back?" the village head asked.

I shook my head helplessly: "No!"

The village head stomped his feet; "Hey! Where did Wanshan and Chu Xin go? Chu Xin didn't come home either!"

"Village chief, I think we may have to mobilize the villagers to look around, something seems wrong!" I said.

Village head Fan Tianhua nodded, and said to a middle-aged man behind him: "Notify all young and middle-aged people in the village to gather at the entrance of the village. Everyone prepare torches and dry food, and prepare to go into the mountains to find someone!"

"Let's go too!" Xiao Guoguo and I stood up.

The village head nodded: "Trouble both of you!"

"Wanshan and us can be regarded as friends, so we should do something!" I said.

Wanning wiped her greasy mouth: "Brother Tuoba, sister Xiao Guoguo, you are so kind!"

Xiao Guoguo is very happy when someone praises her, and she has a smile all over her face, and that smile almost makes me drunk.

She patted her chest: "Sister Wanning, don't worry, we will definitely find your father back! You and your mother are waiting for our good news at home!"

Wanshan's daughter-in-law also woke up, crying and going into the mountain with us to find someone.

I reached out my hand to stop Wanshan's daughter-in-law: "Sister-in-law, you don't want to go! You haven't slept or eaten all day, and your body will collapse! The village chief has already mobilized the whole village to go out to find people, so please treat me well." Rest at home, eat something, and wait for us to come back with peace of mind!"

After everyone's persuasion, Wanshan's daughter-in-law finally nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you!"
