dead person

It was already dawn, and Du Changyuan could clearly see the wrinkles on Du Changhong's face and the unfathomable light in his eyes by squinting his eyes a little.

At the edge of a small square table, four people sat on one side, and the ID card that fell on the ground was also placed in the middle of the table by Du Changsheng.

Du Changhong looked at the man who suddenly appeared and said he was his son with complicated eyes, and for a moment, a glimmer of hope was ignited in his heart.

Could it be that they all misunderstood that Chang Changyuan was not dead at all, but happened to meet someone who saved him and brought him up with him all the time.

Looking at the young man in front of him, that person must have raised him well.With fair skin and slender fingers, it doesn't look like they grew up suffering in a village like theirs.

On the other hand, Zhao Xiujuan had long been looking at Du Changyuan with red eyes, wiping the corners of her eyes with her cuff from time to time.

Looking at the expressions of Du Changhong and his wife, Du Changsheng knew it was over. I am afraid that the third brother has also been shaken.

He hastily cleared his throat before bringing the eyes of the three back to him.

"Third brother and third sister-in-law, since this person has already come to you, let's not be in a hurry. I accompanied you all the way to arrange the long-term funeral. We all clapped together with shovel after shovel."

"If, if he is really my long-term nephew, then..."

Du Changsheng's words are still full of disbelief: "What's more, now that the technology outside is so powerful, who can know whether his ID card is real or fake?"

Zhao Xiujuan wiped the corners of her eyes vigorously, and sucked her nose twice: "Changsheng, isn't he back now? Look at your face, it looks like your third brother when he was young."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiujuan pulled Du Changyuan's cuff with a crying voice, as if she wanted to hold a dream that would be shattered if she touched it.

At that time, she was married to Changhong and had no children for nearly ten years. For this, she suffered so much gossip, and even Changhong was pulled out by her father-in-law and mother-in-law for several times in private.

If it wasn't for Changhong's determination, he would have been kicked out at that time.Anyway, God opened his eyes, and when they were almost 40 years old, they suddenly gave them another son.

It must have been a mistake at that time, how could a child who was only ten years old die for no reason.

Looking at the appearance of the third sister-in-law, Du Changsheng did not speak for a while.No one in this village knows how the third sister-in-law got here all these years.If he hadn't thought about the appearance of the third sister-in-law, he would have kicked the ID card out of the village with the person as early as in the cemetery.

"Third brother and third sister-in-law, I also know what you are looking forward to in your heart. I am not saying that this must not be long-term. Otherwise, we will go to the police station in the town now to see if this ID card is real or fake. of."

"Okay, okay, we'll go right away..." Zhao Xiujuan stood up suddenly, took Du Changyuan's hand and was about to go out, but it was Du Changhong who pulled her back.

"Since everyone is here, there is no rush. It's cold outside and you're not feeling well. You'd better go change your clothes before leaving. Don't catch a cold."

"Then you wait for me for a while, and I'll be right over." Zhao Xiujuan glanced at Du Changyuan with a smile in her eyes, and then quickly ran into the room reluctantly.

After watching Zhao Xiujuan enter the room, Du Changhong asked in a neutral tone: "You said you are long-term, but why do you think about coming back now?"

"I've pretty much forgotten everything about it before, and it's not long ago that I remembered what happened when I was a child, so I want to come back and take a look when I have time."

"Almost forgot?" Du Changhong narrowed his eyes dangerously, staring at the expression on Du Changyuan's face.

"En." Du Changyuan responded, and stood sideways to avoid his sight, looking around the yard.

This yard was not very different from the one he had seen in his dream, even the large tank with a hole in the corner of the yard was exactly the same.

Could it be that all these years of intermittent dreams really happened?

Then, what exactly happened that year, why can't I remember a little bit.

A group of people went to the police station in the town with their own concerns, and after telling where they came from, they shocked the little policemen on duty.

"It's strange, isn't the people in your Shizi Village all sticking to the village and not going out of the village? What's the matter today, so many people come here?"

Du Changhong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to the policeman, who was not polite, took a look at it and clipped it to his ear.

"Thank you uncle for your kindness. I'm still at work and I can't smoke. My surname is Liu Ming, so you can call me Xiao Liu."

"Officer Liu, we are here today to investigate someone." After speaking, Du Changhong handed over the ID card in his hand to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming looked at his ID card, then turned his head and glanced at Du Changyuan: "What's wrong with you, young man? You can make people from Shizi Village leave the village for anything you do?"

"Officer Liu, it's fine. We just want to ask if this ID card is real, does it belong to this young man?" Zhao Xiujuan didn't bother to talk nonsense to the police officer, and asked straight to the point.

All she wanted to know now was whether the person standing beside her was her son.

"Is the ID card right? Uncle, wait a moment, I'll check it for you. By the way, what does this person have to do with you? You are so nervous..."

As soon as he said this, Liu Ming's tone paused, and then he said with a smile: "Uncle, aren't you here to entertain me? What is there to check for my son's ID card?"

"He's really our son?" Du Changhong couldn't believe it and squeezed towards Liu Ming, with his hands propped on the desk, he wanted to stick his head on the computer screen to see clearly.

He took a few glances at the dense fonts on the computer, and then quickly groped around.I was a little anxious when I went out today, and I left my reading glasses at home and forgot to bring them out.

"Uncle, don't squeeze, you don't know where to look if you squeeze. Come, let me show you..."

Liu Ming pulled Du Changhong back, and clicked a few times on the computer to find out the household registration information related to Du Changyuan, pointed to Du Changyuan's ID photo and the column of kinship and said, "Uncle, this is it. Look at this, doesn't it mean that you are father and son?"

"But...but..." Although he didn't see clearly what was written in that column, Du Changhong also knew that the policeman would never use these things to lie to him.

"But, my son is already dead." Du Changhong muttered, although his voice was low, Liu Ming could still hear him clearly.

"Uncle, your son is just standing here. If you still think it's wrong, I'll take you to have his fingerprints checked later. Everyone's fingerprints are unique, and they must not be faked."

"Okay, check, and check how much money you have." Du Changhong said firmly, the trace of expectation and warmth in his eyes disappeared at this moment.

How could... how could Changyuan be still alive? If the people in the village knew that he was alive and even came back...

After hearing Liu Ming say that it was indeed their son, Zhao Xiujuan couldn't stop smiling.Even now that Changhong is clamoring for a fingerprint check, she is not in a hurry anymore.

Anyway, my son is by my side, so what else matters?Check it out.It's best to finish the investigation quickly, so that I can take my son back earlier.

"Officer Liu, how long will the fingerprint test take?"

"Hurry up, I'll go check your son's fingerprints in the fingerprint library and compare them. Auntie, if you still have something to do, go back first, leave me a call and I'll tell you the result later. That's fine.

"No need, we'll have nothing to do when we go back anyway, just wait here. Officer Liu, please see if this process can be as fast as possible..."

Liu Ming glanced at them a little strangely, and it was all right to say something, then turned and went to the office next to them.The people in Shizi Village really have the same problem as the rumors from the outside world.

Now it is better to check them quickly so that they can leave quickly.Really, I still don't know my own son.

It was not until evening that Liu Ming handed over the printed results to several of them.

When Du Changhong finished the list, he looked at the two characters that were specially typed in large characters to match, and he crumpled the list in his hand.

Zhao Xiujuan squeezed to Du Changyuan's side with a smile on her face, stretched out her hand awkwardly to touch the corner of his clothes, his shoulder, and her fingertips stopped when they reached in front of him: "I forgot that my hands are a little cold. Look at how thin you are, go back with Mom, and Mom will cook something delicious for you."

Along the way, Du Changhong had a gloomy face.Du Changsheng looked at the couple walking in front of him, and the worried expression on his face became more and more serious.

Today I only think about long-term things, and forget the warnings of the elders in the village.He didn't dare to think about what he would encounter now when he went back.

Halfway through, Du Changhong threw the ball of paper far away.After walking a few more steps, he hurried back to pick up the ball of paper, carefully tore it into small pieces, and swallowed them one by one.

"Xiujuan, when you go back later, don't stand in front of him. If someone asks who he is, just say you don't know, remember?"

"Why? He is our son. It's not something shameful. Is there anything you can't say to others?"

"I'll tell you what to say, and you will remember it for me. Let go of your hands and go to the end!" Du Changhong's tone suddenly became severe, and he shouted at Zhao Xiujuan.

Zhao Xiujuan wanted to say something, but Du Changsheng stepped forward and dragged her to the last position: "Sister-in-law, just listen to my brother. When you go back, don't tell anyone in the village that it's a long-term. "

Zhao Xiujuan nodded numbly, then lowered her eyes and never looked at Du Changyuan again.

"And you, I don't know why you came back, but you must remember that from the time you step into that village again, you can no longer say that you are long-term."

Before he could respond, Du Changyuan saw a huge group of people standing at the entrance of the village, all of them seemed to be waiting for them to come back.
