"Xiaofan, your mother lied to you. On the same day she took you back, the child disappeared inexplicably."
"Your father Qin Yue never told you exactly how he disappeared, and your mother was even more strict. Anyway, your parents got seriously ill because of this matter."
"Your grandpa was so angry that he didn't even come up for a breath and left in a few days."
Qin Fan stopped massaging his hands, feeling like a turbulent wave in his heart.
He was only three years old at the time, so he remembers these things.
He recalled Jiang Tianrui telling him the robber's goal.
He vaguely guessed that his brother's life and death might be unclear because of this factor.
However, the adoptive parents and their family lost their own flesh and blood because of this, and Grandpa was furious.
In the end, his adoptive parents treated him as their own and raised him to be an adult and go to college.
But if you don't enjoy the blessings for one day, you will die.
His heart was cut by a knife and he was filled with grief.
He raised his head and tried not to let tears flow out.
"Uncle Lao Gen, Grandpa Yang, Grandpa Zhang, do you know if my brother has any obvious characteristics?"
"Such as birthmarks."
Since Qin Fan knew that his brother was missing and his life and death were unknown, there was a glimmer of hope.
He hopes to find this younger brother one day to repay the kindness of his adoptive parents.
That is the only bloodline of the adoptive parents' family.
"There seems to be no birthmark." Zhang Dashui shook his head and said.
"However, there is a red mole on the child's back, the size of a pea, it is very obvious."
Zhang Dashui asked Lu Gang to squat down and pointed to the right side of his back, "In this position."
"Yes, we saw the red mole when that child was Milkman."
Uncle Lao Gen and Yang Fugui also nodded.
Although he didn't get any more clues from Uncle Lao Gen and the others, Qin Fan unintentionally figured out some things.
Moreover, he also knew the truth that his younger brother did not die of illness.
It can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
At noon, we had lunch at the nursing home.
Before two o'clock, the rehabilitation center was already full of elderly people.
They were waiting for Qin Fan's free medical consultation.
Qin Fan moved very quickly. Most of these old people suffered from common diseases, such as enteritis, stomach problems, asthma, rheumatism, etc.
In serious cases, he prescribes medicine and tells how to suffer and how to take it.
For minor acupuncture treatment on site, he also guided Qi Xinsheng to complete it.
It took a full afternoon to complete the free clinic.
In the evening, spend the night repairing in a hotel in Lanling County.
The next day, under the leadership of Lu Gang, we visited some elderly people of the same generation as our parents.
The gains are also not big.
No one knows exactly what happened.
On the third day, Qin Fan was going to Anzhong Town to see the place where his mother lived.
After saying goodbye to Lu Gang, Qin Fan stuffed an envelope under the child while he was being intimate with him.
It was a full 10,000 yuan, and he knew that Lu Gang was unwilling to accept it.
This is the only way to express my gratitude.
Anzhong Town suffered relatively low damage during the earthquake.
It takes about an hour to drive on a narrow concrete road.
The town is not very big, and compared to the small towns close to the county seat, it is quite deserted.
Some traces of earthquakes can still be seen on the walls of some old houses.
He didn't contact Jiang Tianrui, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Grandma, I want to ask you something, is it okay?"
He saw an old woman sitting in front of a house, so he tried to inquire about her.
"What~"
The old woman looked puzzled, as if there was something wrong with her hearing.
Qin Fan repeated what he just said again, raising his voice deliberately.
"Oh, young man, what do you want to ask?"
The old woman heard clearly this time.
"Is there a family named Fang in this town? Fangyuan is Fang!"
"The Fang family is dead, all of them are dead. A fire almost burned down half the town."
Qin Fan was shocked and asked quickly: "Grandma, when did it happen?"
The old woman thought for a while and said, "It's been a long time, more than twenty years ago."
"The town at that time was not like it is now. Oh~ there was a supermarket in front, which is where the front family used to be."
Qin Fan thanked the old woman, and then he and Xiaowen searched along the road, and they saw a convenience supermarket with an area of only about 20 square meters.
In the supermarket, a young woman is guarding the store.
Qin Fan didn't go in. He was in a heavy mood. He didn't know this, so it was fine.
When he knew it, he felt that everything was strange.
Later, I visited several elderly people in the town, and they all said that the Fang family was razed to the ground in the fire.
The time corresponds exactly to the time period when her mother went home to visit relatives more than 20 years ago.
Finding a kind-hearted person to lead the way, he found the cemetery where the Fang family was buried.
The surrounding area was very clean and seemed to have been renovated.
According to the guide, when Fang Hui, the boss of the Fang family, came back not long ago, he asked someone to repair it.
"How is this going?"
Qin Fan pointed to a tomb nearby, but there was no inscription on it.
"Haha, this is the tomb of Fang Jie and her son. According to Fang Hui, the nephew is not dead, and maybe the younger sister is also alive."
"It's just missing and has not been found yet."
Qin Fan's eyes were moist, wasn't it because of the arrival of his aunt Fang Hui in the sea a few months ago?
He burned paper money, made a memorial ceremony, and even laid some soil with his own hands.
His grandparents and uncle's family are buried here.
It's really a good thing if you don't know the truth, but if you know it, it will be a blood feud.
Fire cannot burn for no reason, let alone return without a single person.
The only possibility is that everyone died before the fire, so they would not run away or call for help.
Not only the adoptive parents’ family, but also the uncle’s family.
He clenched his fists and bowed respectfully before driving away with Xiaowen.
He also wants to go to the old county town of Lanling to pay homage to his adoptive parents.
The old county town has become deserted, with broken walls and remnants of walls left after the earthquake scattered everywhere.
Only weeds grew tenaciously, gradually covering up the tragic past.
The earthquake caused the collapse of half of the mountain, covering almost one-third of the county, forming a huge hill.
The adoptive parents, their family, and countless other victims are buried underneath.
"Mom, what happened back then?"
Qin Fan was filled with grief and knelt in front of the rubble filled with stones, thinking silently in his heart.
After a long time, he kowtowed heavily several times.
"Mom, Dad, I will definitely find my little brother, no matter life or death."
He swore in his heart that he and Xiaowen were going to return to Linhai.
"Sir, be careful!"
Xiaowen suddenly pushed Qin Fan, and the moment Qin Fan left the place.
"Pfft, pfft!"
Two silent bullets landed on the ground.
Qin Fan's back was covered in cold sweat. If Xiaowen hadn't reacted in time, he would have been shot.
But who wants to assassinate him?
Having lived for more than 20 years, I have seen scenes from countless movies and TV dramas, and now they are truly reproduced.
Xiaowen and Qin Fan were hiding behind a broken wall.
Qin Fan also woke up from his grief, his eyes were surprisingly calm and angry.
Xiaowen made a gesture to him, which meant that Qin Fan should hide.
He went to kill the opponent.
As soon as Xiaowen moved, several bullets landed on the trajectory of his movement.
Seeing Xiaowen hiding flexibly, Qin Fan suddenly had an idea.
Pick up the stones on the ground and throw them to one side.
Immediately there was a low "Puff" sound of gunfire.
Taking this opportunity, he ran out five or six meters away as quickly as possible and dived behind another broken wall.
He felt that the killers should be two people.
A cat body jumped out again, and Qin Fan could hear the whistling sound of bullets flying at high speed.
Feel the power of the bullet landing behind your feet.
The killer also relies on these broken walls to keep moving, looking for him and Xiaowen.
Danger can happen at any time.
His heart was beating violently, as if it would jump out of his throat.
He gently took out the bloodletting Mitsubishi needle from the acupuncture bag.
This kind of needle is harder than the filiform needle.
Suddenly, a small sound came from my ears. It was the friction sound of a person stepping on the mud and rocks.
He thought of the Sky Eye, looked through the wall, and vaguely saw a killer bowing with a gun.
He is approaching himself cautiously.
He held his breath, lowered his body, and approached the killer step by step.
The other party was also approaching Qin Fan, but what he didn't know was that Qin Fan could vaguely see him.
Just when the killer suddenly appeared and pulled the trigger.
Qin Fan's cat-like body also moved, trying to cover his ears with lightning speed, and raised the killer's gun with his left hand.
The Mitsubishi needle in my right hand stabbed me hard.
The killer's bullet missed, but for a moment, he felt a slight pain, like being bitten by an ant.
Then, the killer's lower body lost consciousness and fell to the ground with a "plop".
Qin Fan was about to pick up the opponent's silenced pistol.
