I descend into the world of heaven

As soon as the old village chief said these words, everyone's expressions changed.

Zhang Ergou had been holding back his sadness, but now it turned directly into anger. He crushed the stones on the ground with his foot, his eyes almost bursting with flames, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "Village Chief, what are you saying? What do you mean? What happened to this family?"

The old village chief sat down on the stone next to Zhang Dahe's door, tapped his knees a few times with his hands, and sighed: "God has no eyes, and he only plays tricks on us poor people! Thirty years ago, Zhang Dahe had a sixty-seven-year-old The child was about 10 years old, so he seemed to be that age. When the couple went to the fields, a stranger came into the village to sell candied haws.

We can buy candied haws at will, but the man was very generous and polite. If anyone couldn't afford it, he would pick one and give it to his children.

He talked interestingly and wandered around the village. The children sang along with him in order to ask for free candied haws! The villagers were a little concerned at first, but then they found out that the candied haws seller didn't do anything to the children, and they were in their own village, so they relaxed their vigilance...

Children in the countryside all grow up free-range, and no one is doing well.

When the sun went down that day, the villagers who had gone to the fields came back and found something was wrong. There were a few less children who would normally be fooling around in the village even after dark! After asking some of the older children, I found out that the missing child had followed the candied haws seller to ‘get’ the candied haws...

We all felt a little cold, so we hurriedly left the village to search, and found a big child who had fallen to death in a pile of rocks on the edge of the Yellow River. All the other children had disappeared. We reported to the official, but the official drove us out, saying that it was normal for a wild child to run away without being seen for a few days, and asked us not to report to the official casually, lest a lot of things would be left unfinished..."

Chen Chu didn't speak.

Zhang Ergou's hands were trembling. He held back the tears in his eyes and asked, "That... this family."

The old village chief looked at the pale couplets on Zhang Dahe's gate that had been weathered for many years and were almost rotten until only an outline remained. He sighed and said quietly: "Zhang Dahe and his wife only gave birth to one son, and they gave him a nickname." My name is Zhang Ergou. I hope I can feed him better and provide him with good food and drinks on weekdays. I am afraid of freezing in the cold weather and afraid of being hot in the summer.

Zhang Ergou disappeared with the group of children. Zhang Dahe and Li A'nu searched frantically along the Yellow River. They searched for seven days and seven nights before they came back. Zhang Dahe was only in his twenties and his hair was already gray. The girl is in despair! My fellow villagers, we are all very sad...

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Grandma Li also disappeared.

Zhang Dahe went out to search and found Li A'nu in the Yellow River. He didn't know whether to say she was lucky or not. I guess Li A'nv missed her child so much that she jumped into the river in sadness. She fell into the water and was swept away by the river and fainted. I happened to be stopped by a bunch of branches near the river bank...

Grandma Li drank a lot of water from the Yellow River and Zhang Dahe squeezed out the water. After she regained breath, she was sent to the doctor in the county for treatment. It was a long journey and lack of money, so the doctor said he was helpless.

Zhang Dahe held Grandma Li in his arms and cried in the alley of the county town. He was driven away by the officers patrolling at night, so he had to leave the city. When he passed a mass grave, Grandma Li woke up, but she was also crazy, crying and laughing. Feng Fei said that her son was not dead, but was just playing outside, waiting for her to find him!

Zhang Dahe took her back to the village, and Li A'nu ran out every two days, deep in the mountains and forests, wherever there was danger! Everyone in the village persuaded Zhang Dahe to tie Grandma Li with a rope at home, but he was reluctant to do so. The most serious time was when Grandma Li ran away again. Zhang Dahe searched for three days and nights and found his wife stuck in a rock crevice in a deep mountain and was about to starve to death!

From that time on, he took A-Nv Li with him at all times, connecting their wrists with the two ends of a rope. They were always together in the cold winter and hot summer..."

Chen initially remained silent.

Du Shiniang shed tears.

Zhang Ergou could no longer bear the pain. When he was refined into a man in the altar by the bat mage, he was tortured by drugs all the time. He thought he was the most painful person in the world. His parents might have long forgotten that there was such a person. son.

The old village chief didn't know why the wine seller was so excited.

Maybe he's a sweetheart.

Zhang Ergou said with tears in his eyes: "Village chief, take me to the fields to see the couple..."

The old village chief hesitated. He looked at the three people repeatedly and nodded vigorously: "Okay, the road to the fields is not easy to walk. I'm afraid your shoes and trousers will be dirty."

It was almost certain that the Taoist, the little girl and the businessman were not sent by the official to investigate them. After all... the official would never shed a tear for them no matter what.

The three of them followed the old village chief to the other side of the village, entered the mountains, and walked more than two miles on the mountain road.

I saw villagers in twos and threes waving hoes on the mountains in the distance. The sun was blazing in the sky. They wore straw hats, their skin was tanned to a bronze color, and their skinny bodies looked like dead branches that were about to break at any time.

The old village chief was already very old. He walked down the two-mile mountain road with a cane and was only slightly out of breath. He saw that except for the Taoist priests, the little girl and the businessman were very tired, so he couldn't help joking: "People in the county don't often It’s normal to be tired when walking on mountain roads, unlike me, an old man who has been walking on mountain roads all his life..."

After twisting and turning in the fields, the villagers saw the village chief arriving, raised their hands to say hello, and continued working on the farm.

The old village chief covered his face with the sun with his hand, pointed with the other hand at two figures in the distance and said: "Over there, those are Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Dahe..."

Chen Chu looked in the direction pointed by the old village chief. In the sky and earth on the other side of the mountain, there was an old man in his fifties, facing the loess with his back to the sky, cutting something unknown with a sickle. There is a rope tied to the old man's right hand, a fifty-year-old woman, and the old woman is holding a one-meter-tall straw man in her hand.

Zhang Ergou cried.

These are the parents he misses all the time.

More than thirty years!

The seven-year-old child's memory has long been blurred by the faces of his parents, and he can't remember even if he tries hard to see his parents again at this moment.

He felt dizzy and his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand. He stretched out his hands to hold on to the tree trunk next to him to stabilize himself. A hoarse voice came out of his throat: "I... let's go over and take a look..."

The old village chief walked in front.

Chen Chu walked behind.

Du Shiniang could feel Zhang Ergou's sad mood, and she asked in a low voice: "Do you want to recognize them later?"

Zhang Ergou felt pain in his heart. Du Shiniang's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and said, "Let me take a look... Just take a look and it will be fine."

Chen Chu heard it clearly. He already knew what Zhang Ergou would choose. Although the body prop could change his appearance, the big wine jar could not be changed! If the matter of being captured by the Bat Mage and made into a man in the altar is exposed...
