There is a village called Xiaofeng Village about seven or eight miles away from here on the mountain road. Alas, it is just as poor, with low thatched houses and worn-out cotton clothes, which makes people sad to see.
You said there was a small shop in Yanghuai Village where you could eat noodles, but there was a small shop here. The things on the shelves were all expired and covered with dust. Fortunately, we still had some food in our bags, so we spent money to buy a pot of hot water from the small shop and ate the bread and biscuits.
Dandan's mouth was already watering when she saw the bread and ham, as if she hadn't eaten for days. She held the bread in her left hand and the ham in her right hand, stuffing them into her mouth voraciously. For a child from the mountain, this was a luxury, and they might not even be able to eat it during the Chinese New Year. When we saw this, we all felt upset and stopped at the same time, deciding to leave all these "delicious" things to her.
We were eating outside the store, and attracted a group of children with muddy faces. Seeing Dandan eating so deliciously, they were all very greedy. So, we shared the food with these children, except leaving some for Dandan.
Shen Bing's eyes were red as she said to me, "After we are done, let's buy some clothes for these children. Look, their shoes have exposed toes."
I touched her head and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you on this matter."
"What's going on over there?" Wang Zijun said, pointing at a group of people in the west.
We turned around and saw the group of children running over to join in the fun. They seemed to be arguing, and we could hear a woman crying. There was no need for us to move forward. Village women arguing was nothing to watch. But Shen Bing liked to join in the fun, so she pulled Qu Mo over there, and the three of us had no choice but to follow.
When I got closer, I saw a woman in her thirties lying in front of a house, crying and shouting. There were many people around her, whispering. I probably figured out what happened. The woman's two children went out to play yesterday and didn't come home. After asking around, I found out that they went to Mr. Gu's house and never came out again. The woman was here to get her children, but in the local area, the Bai Ling sect's group of sorcerers are very authoritative, just like the man surnamed Ma, who even the village chief can't afford to offend.
So these people just talked in a low voice, but no one dared to say a fair word for her.
"Please Mr. Gu, even if our two children have offended the gods, can you please leave me a child? Please!" The sister-in-law cried very painfully, and we also felt sad.
Shen Bing was not afraid of offending some damn Mr. Gu. She helped the sister-in-law up and asked, "Why didn't you call the police if the child was missing?"
The eldest sister-in-law was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly pushed her away and said, "Where are you from? Don't meddle in other people's business."
Shen Bing was stunned. I kindly reminded her, but ended up being seen as meddling in other people's business. I winked at her and told her to be quiet and talk later.
Not only did the door not open, but there was no movement from inside. It seemed that Shen Bing had interrupted, and the person inside spoke up, "Stop shouting. You two children have offended the gods and angered their might. Your crime is unforgivable. The fairy boy will be here soon, so wait for him to decide your fate."
The eldest sister-in-law quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying, "Please, Mr. Gu, say a few good words in front of the fairy boy and save the lives of these two ignorant children!"
I touched my nose and thought, last night Dandan said she saw a boy who was crowned, and this sister-in-law's child has been missing since last night, could that boy be her son? Damn, there is still a son, I wonder if he was murdered, no matter what, I will definitely take care of this matter!
