It's slowly getting dark. At this time in the past, the whole village would be busy at home, killing pigs and doing laundry. A lot of things have to be done after casual work. As soon as it gets dark, the mountain village will fall into chaos.
It was dark. There was no electricity in Caiyun Village yet, and every household used kerosene lamps.
But tonight, there is no one in every house.
Taisui Ridge is full of lights.
"Mother-in-law, I'll go over there and see if there's anything there. You can look for it slowly here." Zhang Yunyang said to his mother-in-law and hurriedly walked deeper into Taisui Ridge.
When Zhang Yunyang and his wife returned home in the afternoon, they still saw no sign of their son, and the food on the table was not moved at all. The couple immediately started looking around, but they searched the entire village and found nothing.
The shadow of his son.
Children in the village often go to Taisuiling to play, and it is not uncommon for them to fall and be injured and unable to come back. The couple immediately ran to Taisuiling with a lantern in hand.
When people from the production team saw that Zhang Yunyang's son was missing, they all went to Taisuiling to help find him. This was really not a big deal in that era. This era was the era when human nature was most beautiful. If anything happened to a family, every household would use it.
Do your best to help.
"Hey, be careful." He Ni shouted worriedly as she looked at the man's hurried back. Women in Zhangjiacun call their men by their first names instead of husband, which is really embarrassing. They usually
It's called "Hello".
"It's okay, it's okay. Just be careful." Zhang Yunyang said without looking back.
Now is autumn, which is the season when snakes in the mountains are more active. Taisui Ridge is a large mountain range with various wild animals. It is said that there are tigers and other beasts in the depths. However, the most dangerous ones in the outer area are probably snakes.
.People in the production brigade are often bitten by snakes. Generally, snake bites are not a big problem. You can lie down for a few days and take some herbs from the barefoot doctor and you can be alive and kicking again. But if you are bitten by a venomous snake such as a five-step snake, you will definitely not survive.
Last year, someone in the production team was bitten to death by a snake.
"Sister-in-law Nizi, have you found Shanhai?" From time to time there are lights at the foot of the mountain walking towards Taisui Ridge.
"No, I don't know where this bastard has gone?" He Ni was already crying.
"Sister-in-law Nizi, don't worry, don't worry. The child will definitely be found. Did this kid oversleep in that cave?" said Chen Bilian, Zhang Zhida's mother-in-law.
"My husband went to look for me just now, but he couldn't find anyone," He Ni said.
"Could it be that while we are looking here, where did that kid go back from?" someone else said.
"Yes, it's really possible. Sister-in-law Nizi, please go back and take a look."
He Ni thought about it and thought it was very possible, "Then I'll go back and look for him. If Yunyang comes back later, tell him that I'm back."
"Go back and look for them quickly. There are young and old men from the brigade here!"
He Ni rushed home with one foot deep and one foot shallow. She ran too fast and the light was dim. He Ni rolled on the road. Her body was already covered with mud.
Zhang Yunyang's sister Zhang Wanmei was worried about He Ni coming back alone, so she followed He Ni back to the village.
"Bao Zai, Bao Zai. Where are you? Don't scare me." He Ni shouted and couldn't help crying.
"Sister-in-law, relax, let's look for her carefully," Zhang Wanmei said.
"Yeah." He Ni whispered.
The two people searched around the house, but could not find Zhang Shanhai anywhere.
"Sister-in-law, have you looked up at the attic?" Zhang Wanmei suddenly looked at the attic and said.
"No. It shouldn't be up there, right? If it were up there, he wouldn't be able to hear such a loud noise?" He Ni said.
Zhang Wanmei nodded when she heard this, took two steps, then stopped, "I'll go up and have a look, maybe this kid is sleeping up there!"
Zhang Wanmei couldn't climb up as easily as Zhang Shanhai, so she brought a ladder in from the outside, and then slowly climbed up. Only then did her head emerge from the attic. Zhang Wanmei couldn't wait to hold it in her hand.
The lantern shone on the attic and saw my nephew lying there quietly.
"Here! Here!" Zhang Wanmei shouted loudly, "Sister-in-law, come here quickly, come here quickly."
He Ni ran over quickly and knocked over the bench across the room without even feeling it.
"Where, where?" He Ni said excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, come up and take a look. Why can't you wake me up?" Zhang Wanmei said.
He Ni hurriedly climbed to the attic. Because He Ni climbed in a hurry, the attic shook a little and made a creaking sound.
"Baby, baby." He Ni held the baby in her arms, and kissed her again and again, "You stinky boy, you scared mom to death."
"Sister-in-law, something is wrong. Why can't Shanhai wake me up?" Zhang Wanmei grabbed Zhang Shanhai's shoulders and shook her, "Shanhai, Shanhai. Wake up quickly!"
But Zhang Shanhai was still soft and soft, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
"Baby, baby, wake up, wake up. Don't scare me." He Ni was so anxious that she burst into tears.
But Zhang Shanhai didn't move at all. He was still holding the shabby old book in his hand. At this time, He Ni shook him and the book fell on the attic floor. But it did not attract Zhang Shanhai's attention.
The attention of He Ni and Zhang Wanmei.
"Sister-in-law, take Shanhai down first. I'll call my brother back and then think of a way." Zhang Wanmei said.
The two of them carefully carried Zhang Shanhai downstairs and put him on the bed.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll call my brother back." Zhang Wanmei held a lantern and dived into the dark night.
"What's wrong with this child? Why can't he wake up?" Zhang Yunyang frowned, and the word "Sichuan" appeared between his eyebrows.
"Quickly think of a solution! What's wrong with Bao Zai?" He Ni said.
"Yunyang, is it something evil? Let Zhang Jing take a look first." Zhang Shanhai's grandfather Zhang Yicheng also rushed over at this time. The old man had a different opinion.
"Dad, where is the evil? It's clearly feudal superstition." As a college student, He Ni would certainly not believe such supernatural things.
"Long hair makes short-sighted people. There is no illness or disaster in Shanhai. If you can't wake up after sleeping, what is it if you don't have an evil spirit?" Zhang Yicheng was very angry, and his beard stood up in anger.
"Mom, the doctor won't be here for a while now. Even if he is here, the conditions here may not be able to do anything about this situation. Listen to dad and give it a try. It won't delay anything anyway." Zhang Yunyang carefully comforted him.
Holding his mother-in-law.
This period is very interesting. Zhang Yicheng is not satisfied with the daughter-in-law who comes from the city. They always feel that the city people are unreliable and not like the farmers. They may return to the city one day.
Seeing her husband say this, He Ni could only nod.
If it weren't for seeing the magical side of Zhang Shanhai at the funeral the day before, Zhang Jingxian might not have come to Zhang Yunyang's house in person. However, as soon as he heard that Zhang Yunyang's son Zhang Shanhai was asleep, he rushed over immediately. He held it in his hand.
Holding his most precious compass.
