Qin Nan and Wu Haotian slowed down the car again. Qin Nan looked at the expression on Wu Haotian's face. He still looked calm and looked no different from usual.
"Haotian, don't you feel scared walking on this road at night?" Qin Nan asked.
"Fortunately, these are all in vain." Wu Haotian said lightly, without any expression on his face.
Qin Nan also smiled awkwardly. Qin Nan didn't see anything unusual along the way, but from time to time he saw unburned Ming coins on the roadside.
It was about eleven o'clock when Qin Nan and he just returned to their hometown.
After they took out their luggage from the car, they pushed open the courtyard door. Before Qin Nan could react, a handful of rice was thrown at him, scaring him so much that he couldn't help but take two steps back.
He quickly looked up and saw that it was grandma whose face was covered with white flour. He couldn't help but scream. Grandma was also slightly startled and then threw a handful of rice on Qin Nan's body.
"Xie Sui, go!" Grandma shouted and threw two more handfuls of rice towards Qin Nan.
Just as Qin Nan was patting the rice on his head, grandma slowly walked forward, looked at Qin Nan in front of her, and said, "Okay, go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow morning to worship your ancestors."
After grandma finished speaking, she walked toward the house without looking back. Qin Nan and Wu Haotian also sighed helplessly. Zeng Li, who was sitting on the stone bench not far away, was still giggling.
Qin Nan also snorted angrily. Just as they were about to go back to their respective rooms, Zeng Li hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him and Wu Haotian to the kitchen not far away without saying a word, and then took a look.
Grandma opened the door to their room and then gently closed the kitchen door.
"What are you doing, sneaking around?" Qin Nan asked.
"Let me tell you something. Yesterday, when I went to the Shenfeng Village next door to do errands, I found a girl. She was wearing relatively fashionable clothes, and she looked like she was not a local.
She and I looked at each other, and I didn't know why. I always felt that she didn't seem like someone from here, but more like someone from the city. I saw her pleading eyes, as if she was asking me for help again.
However, they said she was her daughter-in-law, but I don’t think it looks like her. Do you think she was kidnapped?” Zeng Li said.
Qin Nan and Wu Haotian looked at each other and frowned. It seemed that it was indeed what she said.
"You also know that people are trafficked. According to my experience, they are 100% trafficked. Are there situations like hers in the village?" Qin Nan asked.
Zeng Li thought about it carefully, and then said: "It doesn't seem to exist in our village, but it seems to exist. It was a long time ago. Some women were abducted here twenty or thirty years ago and have never been seen again."
been out,
In the end, I can only accept my fate and live in this village..."
"How many do you know?" Qin Nan asked with a frown. He didn't expect that such a thing existed in his village. He had only seen it on TV before, but he didn't expect that it actually existed in real life.
, and it’s still in my hometown.
"I only know of one, a family two or three kilometers away from us, which is quite far away. As for whether there are others in the village, I don't know. Our family basically lives in a place isolated from the village.
So I don’t know much about this, but that woman is really pitiful. She was abducted here when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and she still married a man who was almost forty years old.
It can be seen that she doesn't like him, she told me that the child is everything to her, alas..." Zeng Li couldn't help but sigh as she spoke.
"Why didn't you call the police?" Qin Nan asked.
"It's useless to call the police. I asked my grandma, and she said don't let me meddle in my own business, because the people in the next village are very united in this regard. Even if someone calls the police, you can't find them.
,
I heard grandma say that they hide people, and people in the village will collude to prevent them from leaving." Zeng Li said with a frown.
"What age has this been? How can such a thing still happen? What about their village committee?" Qin Nan asked.
"No, our village committee in Shen rural area has only been established in the past two years, so this kind of thing has never happened again," Zeng Li said.
"Let's go to the house you mentioned tomorrow morning. Maybe there will be new clues." Wu Haotian said.
Qin Nan thought for a while and then asked: "We have to get up at six or seven o'clock tomorrow morning to worship our ancestors. Does the neighboring village also have this custom?"
"Well, they are the same as us, and the time is about the same, but it will never be later than eight o'clock in the morning." Zeng Li said.
Qin Nan thought for a few seconds and then nodded and said: "Well, after we finish sweeping the tomb tomorrow morning, we will go directly to the place you mentioned, but how many meters away is it?"
"Maybe a kilometer or two. I don't know the details. I rarely take that road." Zeng Li said.
"Okay, let's go over there tomorrow morning after sweeping the tomb to see what's going on." Qin Nan said.
Afterwards, the three of them returned to their respective rooms. When Qin Nan entered his room, what he didn't expect was that it was still the same as when he first came here. It was still as tidy and the quilt was folded.
OK,
When his eyes fell on a photo on the desk, Qin Nan couldn't help but frown. This seemed to be a photo that grandma had just dug out recently, and he had never seen it before.
He slowly sat on the rickety wooden chair in front of the desk, and then looked at the yellowed area in front of him very intently. Standing in the middle was a boy who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.
There is no doubt that this person is Qin Nan. The two people standing next to him are a woman in a white coat and a man with tattoos who looks like a gangster, who seem to be his parents.
"Are these Qin Nan's parents? But it seems that I have never seen them. Grandma and the others have not mentioned them, and they don't want to mention them. It's great to have parents..." Qin Nan muttered to himself, unconscious at the corners of his mouth.
showed a smile.
He longed to grow up in such a family, but he didn't know why. Since he was born, he didn't know who his biological parents were or why they abandoned him.
I heard from the director of the orphanage that he was abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage. He was only one or two years old at that time. There were a lot of warm clothes in the box, even clothes for four and five years old. Later, the director
I also want to find his parents,
But they all ended in failure.
The dean and the others also found a note in the box with his name written on it, but the rest of the information was never known.
Qin Nan sighed again. He thought he would have a chance to see his parents after he was reborn, but what he didn't expect was that Qin Nan was also in a semi-orphan state.
In his current memory, he didn't know how Qin Nan's parents left, and grandma never mentioned it. It seemed that they had gone abroad, but why they left him behind and didn't come back for so many years?
It is also unknown.
…
At this time, in a suburban villa, Heifu was sitting on the bed and sending a message to his subordinates. His wife Yali was sitting beside her, holding the photo that she had touched countless times in her hand.
"Go to sleep, honey, we will find him one day." Heifu looked at Yali beside him and sighed.
"But we haven't found it after searching for so long. We finally got some news half a year ago, but now it's gone again. I don't know when I can see my son...
I had a dream last night that he was killed, and I cried so hard in the dream..." Yali said with sobs.
Black Buddha saw that Yali's mental state was not right, so he hugged her and said: "Don't worry Yali, I will definitely find our son..."
…
At five o'clock in the morning on April 5, Qin Nan was quickly awakened by the rooster in the yard.
"Damn, I've been stewing you for the past few days, you've made me sleepy..." Qin Nan frowned and muttered to himself. Just when he wanted to sleep for a while, there was a call from the bedroom door.
