Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1124 Ayi City Village
From receiving Zhang Lei's pass letter to now, Zhao Lei has been on the road for 24 hours without sleep, not even taking a sip of water, and finally arrived at Ayi Village.

If it were an ordinary person, he would be exhausted by now.However, Zhao Lei was still in high spirits, and hurried to the village as soon as he got off the motorcycle.

Ganluo County is considered a poor area in Sichuan Province, and Ayishi Village is at the middle and lower levels in Ganluo County, so the conditions are of course not very good.

The houses in the village are all very dilapidated. Except for the elderly, children and women, there are few young and middle-aged men, and many of them have gone out to work.

Zhao Lei had just entered the village and immediately attracted the attention of many villagers.Many people looked at him with vigilant eyes, and they didn't look very friendly.

Several dogs in the village followed Zhao Lei, and the big dog in the lead kept barking at him, as if it would pounce on him at any moment.

Zhao Lei was already in a hurry, but the barking of the dogs disturbed him even more, so he stopped and gave the dogs a look.All the dogs whimpered in fear at once, and all ran away with their tails between their legs.

Zhao Lei tried to calm down, and asked the old man sitting at the door basking in the sun with a smile: "Old man, is Teacher Zhang Lei who is here to teach here?"

The old man asked Zhao Lei vigilantly, "Why are you looking for Teacher Zhang?"

"I am also a volunteer for teaching support activities, and I go to each village to see everyone's work and life." Zhao Lei began to fool the old man: "I have visited several teaching support sites, and today it is our turn to Ayishi Village."

Hearing that Zhao Lei is also a volunteer, the old man's wrinkled face flashed a hesitant expression, but finally he shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, you should ask someone else!"

The other party's reaction made Zhao Lei a little strange, but he was an old man after all, and Zhao Lei couldn't force him to question him, so he could only thank him in a hurry, and asked other villagers about Zhang Lei's situation.

However, the reaction of other villagers was similar to that of the old man.As long as Zhao Lei asked Zhang Lei, everyone had weird expressions, but they didn't know what to ask, which made Zhao Lei more and more worried.

Zhao Lei also noticed that these villagers obviously didn't want to tell him about Zhang Lei's situation.Since the adults refuse to say it, you might as well ask the children.As the so-called "children's words are not taboo", maybe you can ask something from the children.

So Zhao Lei soon came to the elementary school in Ayi Shicun, planning to find some children to ask about the situation.

This is said to be an elementary school, but it is actually just a few tile-roofed houses of the village committee.The largest one is a classroom, the smaller one has a stove, it is the kitchen and canteen, and the door of the smallest one is locked. Zhao Lei guesses that it should be where Zhang Lei usually lives.As for the school's playground, it's just a grain drying field, and the conditions are quite simple.

Thinking of how Zhang Lei has been working and living in such a difficult place for the past few months, Zhao Lei can't help feeling a little distressed.

But now Zhao Lei is more concerned about Zhang Lei's safety, so he quickly picked up his mood, came to a few children playing on the playground, and said with a smile: "Hello, children, isn't it time for class? Why are you all outside?" play?"

"Ms. Zhang is not at school, no one is teaching us!"

"We didn't see her yesterday!"

"I don't know if Teacher Zhang will come back today."

Compared with the adults, the children were much less vigilant, and they talked about the situation in the school noisily.

The children's words made Zhao Lei's heart even heavier. They didn't see Zhang Lei yesterday, which happened to coincide with the time when the message from the book-passing talisman came. It seemed that Zhang Lei was indeed in big trouble.

Zhao Lei managed to suppress the worries in his heart, and squeezed out a smile: "I am a friend of Teacher Zhang. I came to see her from a long way away. Do you know where she is, so I can go find her."

Most of the children shook their heads in a daze, only a very clever little boy whispered: "I heard from my mother that Mr. Zhang was taken away by the brothers of the Tang family!"

Zhao Lei lifted his spirits, and quickly took out a piece of chocolate bought on the road from his bag and handed it to the child, and said with a smile, "This is for you, tell uncle about the brothers of the Tang family."

"Thank you, Uncle!" The little boy thanked Zhao Lei politely. He peeled off the wrapping paper and took a bite of the chocolate. He smiled and said, "It's so sweet and delicious!"

Anxious Zhao Lei hurriedly urged: "Tell uncle about the brothers of the Tang family."

"My mother said that they are not good things!" The little boy said surprisingly: "The night before yesterday, my mother saw the Tang family brothers sneaking around near the school, and then the dogs in the village barked violently. The next day, Teacher Zhang It disappeared, it must be their tricks!"

After being reminded by the little boy, other children also said that they had heard similar words from the adults at home, but they just didn't think of it before.

Zhao Lei simply gave each child a piece of chocolate and asked them to tell what they knew.

With the "enlightenment" of chocolate, the children's memory improved a lot, and they told Zhao Lei what they heard in a hurry.

Zhao Lei knew from the children's words that the Tang brothers were not good people.Everyone in the village is afraid of them, even the village head dare not offend them.The Tang family brothers usually work outside, and I heard that they made a lot of money.

A few days ago, the Tang family brothers returned to the village suddenly. After seeing Zhang Lei, they kept wandering around the school, which affected the children's normal class.

For this reason, Zhang Lei also went to the village chief, but it was of no use.Not only did the Tang family brothers not restrain themselves, they intensified their efforts. Several times they broke into the school during class and asked Zhang Lei to go to the mountains with them to "play friends", but Zhang Lei sternly refused.

Then it happened that the Tang family brothers came to school at night, and then Zhang Lei disappeared.At about the same time, Zhao Lei received a call for help from Zhang Lei's letter pass.

After hearing what the children said, Zhao Lei's brows became more and more wrinkled.Now it is almost certain that the Tang family brothers are related to Zhang Lei's disappearance, and the top priority is to find them.

Zhao Lei asked the children where the Tang family brothers lived, but the children told him that although the Tang family had an old house in the village, the Tang family brothers were not in the village these two days and disappeared with their teacher Zhang.

Zhao Lei also wanted to ask the children where the Tang brothers would go.

However, at this moment, a man in his 50s with a pot belly hurried over, and shouted at the children from a long distance: "You children, you are so courageous, dare to talk to strangers, believe it or not, let me tell you My lord, I will beat you hard!"

"The village head is here, run!" I don't know who shouted, and the children immediately ran away.
