"Well. Xiaosheng, I want to have a good talk with you." I said softly to the child.
Zhao Xiaosheng was very sensible and moved a stool to sit below me, waiting for me to speak.
I looked at this child who had lost his father and whose mother didn't know whether to live or die, and I couldn't help but feel sad. After a long while, I finally calmed down and sighed and said, "Xiaosheng, I will help you solve your mother's problem. There is no news for the time being, but you have to believe me, Master Uncle will definitely find her safely."
Zhao Xiaosheng burst into tears when he heard this, and nodded with a sob: "I believe in Uncle Master."
It didn't matter that he was crying, I felt sad and my eyes were wet. I suppressed my emotions and said to him, "Let's go to the grave first, and then you come back to the provincial capital with me. Although I can't guarantee when I can find my sister-in-law, I think I can do it within three days."
Zhao Xiaosheng nodded obediently, then suddenly fell on my knees and burst into tears. Finally, I couldn't hold back my tears. This child has experienced so many misfortunes in the past few days. After his father died, his body disappeared. He was considered a demon and brought disaster to the whole village. His mother was imprisoned in the graveyard. Now he is missing again, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive. Not to mention that he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, even if I were in his place, I would not be able to stand it.
I held him in my arms, touched his head and said, "Don't cry. A man should be strong. You will be the one to earn money to support your mother in the future. How can you cry so easily? This will make people look down on you."
"Well, I won't cry, I won't cry!" Zhao Xiaosheng raised his head and wiped his tears.
I also secretly turned around to wipe my tears, took him out, locked the door, and went to the graveyard first. Zhao Xiaosheng lay on the broken graveyard and cried loudly again. This time I did not stop him. The child was too sad, so it was better to let him cry, otherwise he would easily get sick.
Today the weather is very good, the sun is shining brightly, and the whole earth is bathed in bright sunlight. I carefully checked around the tomb mound again, and finally found a trace in the south. It rained too hard yesterday, and I was impatient, so I must have overlooked some subtle clues.
On the south side of the grave mound, there are traces of friction. Although they are not very obvious, they can always be traced. In this case, it should be that the person fell to the ground and was dragged away, and then washed away by rain, and the traces became faint. This shows that after the eldest sister-in-law broke the grave mound, she was tied with a rope, dragged out from inside, and dragged forward. As for why there is no trace of dragging her, I can't think of the reason for the time being.
I pulled Zhao Xiaosheng up and followed this clue southward for two or three miles until we reached a country road, where the dragging marks disappeared. I understood that this person had dragged the person here and might have put him on a vehicle and taken him away. I touched my nose and looked back at the cornfield where he was originally, and I guessed that this person also escaped from this road early this morning.
We walked back to the village entrance and along the road back to the provincial capital. After walking a few hundred meters, a taxi stopped in front of us. It was Shen Bing. So we got in the car and returned to the provincial capital. In the car, Shen Bing told me that my mother was so worried that she didn't sleep for two days and two nights. This time, she was really worried.
I was upset. My mother is a very introverted person. If she keeps things in her mind, she might get sick. We were wrong this time, but there is nothing we can do about it. I thought to myself that I must not do this again and make my mother worry.
On the way back to the provincial capital, I happened to pass by the crematorium. I thought that the person who kidnapped my sister-in-law might be the same person who destroyed the body. Maybe my sister-in-law was in this person's lair. Saving her was urgent, so I asked the driver to stop the car, and I got off here, so that Shen Bing could take Zhao Xiaosheng home.
Shen Bing anxiously leaned her head out of the car window and asked me loudly where I was going. I waved to her and the car had already driven away.
