"Sis, don't make trouble. Mom is going to turn off the lights and go to sleep."

Lin Zhi knocked on the edge of the kang and pulled the light cord under the edge.

At that time, the lights were still incandescent lamps, and the switches were not mounted on the wall, but controlled by a light cord.

The light rope usually hangs from the head of the kang and extends all the way down the edge of the kang.

In this case, any child who gets up to pee in the middle of the night does not need to ask an adult to turn on the light, but can just pull the light cord above his head.

The little fourth child seemed particularly excited today. He lifted up the curtain on the kang, squeaked and got into the eldest sister's side, and then got under the quilt again.

"Mom, I slept in my eldest sister's bed. The new quilt is so soft and slippery."

Liu Qingshan was also a little funny: Fourth Brother, do you know that you are doing some sabotage?

Lin Zhi was also quite helpless. The family's condition was just a big kang, and the fourth child, Caifeng, was too young to understand these things, so he didn't even try to reason with her.

"Should I sleep with my fourth child in my arms?"

Liu Jinfeng's pretty face was also a little red. In fact, she often slept with this little girl in her arms before. Lin Zhi's health was not good, and she was like a mother to her eldest sister.

Gao Wenxue, who was sitting on the edge of the Kang and washing his feet, was a little anxious: "Then I..."

Fortunately, he stopped talking in time, but the meaning behind it was not understood by the fourth child.

Although the ears were stuffed with cotton, the sound insulation effect was average, and Liu Qingshan could certainly hear clearly.

After thinking about it, he pulled the fourth child over and said, "Sister, there is a baby in the belly. If you don't sleep well, you roll over and kick the baby. What should I do?"

A large kang bed has a relatively large space at the end of the kang; the side where Liu Jinfeng and Gao Wenxue are sleeping is a place where two people can sleep.

Caifeng'er blinked her big eyes, and then nodded. However, the little guy still insisted on sleeping on the edge of the kang, separated from the eldest sister by a curtain.

Lin Zhi, who was sitting on the bed, pulled the light cord, and the room immediately became dark and silent.

The same is true outside the house. At night in the mountain village, it is extremely quiet, with only the sound of frogs croaking one after another.

After a day of hard work, Liu Qingshan was really tired. He was thinking about how he could continue to do the ideological work of the old party secretary and the others tomorrow, and fell asleep unconsciously.

In a daze, I felt it was a bit dazzling. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the lamp had been pulled away, and I saw that the little old man was lifting the curtain with his little hands, and asked: "Sister, what are you eating under the quilt?"

"

"I haven't eaten anything!"

Over there, Liu Jinfeng's face turned red with shame. While dealing with the little girl, he pinched Gao Wenxue under the quilt with his hand and said, "I told you to eat it secretly."

However, the little fourth boy is not so easy to fool: "I heard it all, chirp, chirp, it's delicious!"

"Mom, take care of Sifeng'er!"

The second sister Liu Yinfeng also shouted, she is a girl, so she is also very embarrassed, okay?

Fortunately, in a few days, the senior high school resume classes will start early.

Lin Zhi could only drag Caifeng to her side, turn off the light again and go to sleep, still scolding: "You are so mean-spirited."

The room returned to darkness, and this time it was Liu Qingshan who was sleeping on the edge of the kang. He seemed to faintly hear the eldest sister's soft complaint from the other side of the curtain, "You are so mean-spirited..."

So, in the dark and quiet night, with a smile on Liu Qingshan's face, he soon fell asleep again.

But this night was destined not to be peaceful for the small mountain village of Jiapigou.

Liu Qingshan was asleep when he was awakened by a rapid tapping sound on the window glass. He quickly turned on the light, jumped to the ground, pulled on his shoes and opened the door.

Soon, he returned to the house holding the crying little girl with tears on her face.

"Shan Xing, did you come to play with me?"

The fourth child was so sleepy that he thought it was dawn.

Liu Qingshan had a premonition that something was not going to happen and asked angrily: "Shan Xing, what's wrong? Don't cry yet and talk to me."

"I...my mother is missing!"

Shan Xing was fussing and talking, and finally managed to say a complete sentence, and then started fussing again.

The little guy at this moment is like a chick knocked unconscious by a heavy rain. Without the protection of its mother's wings, it looks so weak and helpless.

What Liu Qingshan was most worried about happened.

He knew that Shan Xingniang was stimulated at the banquet, and this stimulation was much stronger than before.

At this time, everyone in the family also put on their clothes and went to the ground. After Liu Qingshan stuffed the mountain apricot into Lin Zhi's arms, he began to assign tasks.

"Eldest sister, please inform the old branch secretary. Second sister, go to the captain's house and knock on the door, asking them to summon the villagers to find someone!"

After saying that, he looked at Gao Wenxue, who looked filled with grief and anger: "Brother-in-law, let's go to Shan Xing's house and see if there are any clues."

Soon, Jiapigou was heard barking, and bright or dark flashlight beams began to shake.

Liu Qingshan and Gao Wenxue went straight to Shan Xing's house. There was indeed a clue. After lighting the lamp, a page of paper was placed on the cabinet lid.

He grabbed it in his hand and glanced at it. When he saw the words "I'm leaving" at the beginning, Liu Qingshan's heart sank.

"He Jiakang, you are really committing a crime!"

The veins on Gao Wenxue's forehead bulged and he punched the table.

Liu Qingshan calmed down and continued reading. Fortunately, this letter was not a suicide note. The letter read:

I'm leaving. The old party secretary, Captain Zhang, and fellow villagers have caused trouble for you. Please take care of Shanxing for a while.

I want to find that person, and I must make that person pay the price he deserves.

Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely come back, because this will always be my home!

Liu Qingshan read the few lines in a blink of an eye. Judging from the content, Qian Yuzhen should have been relatively normal when she wrote the letter.

But there was a hidden risk of illness in her body. She was walking in the dark in the middle of the night. If she got sick, she might plunge into the river.

Soon, the old branch secretary also ran into the house out of breath. After reading the text message, he was equally worried.

People from all walks of life were quickly sent out. Some went to the edge of the well to check, some went to the river, and some chased along several roads leading to the outside world.

Liu Qingshan was assigned to chase on the road to the commune. He was riding a bicycle, and the two young men behind him used flashlights and shot from time to time in the woods on both sides of the road.

It was a bumpy ride all the way to the commune. It was already dawn, but there was not a soul in sight.

Liu Qingshan considered that if Qian Yuzhen wanted to go out of town, she would definitely need to go to the commune to open a letter of introduction, so the two brothers simply squatted outside the commune gate.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, team leader Zhang Guofu also came. After some discussion, he reported the case to the police station.

The person who received them was an old police officer surnamed Wang, who was wearing a white police uniform and a blue one. Liu Qingshan remembered that the police would change their uniforms one after another until next year.

Wang Gongan also attached great importance to this matter. He discussed it with the director for a few words, and then the director started to ring the phone.

That's right, just shake the phone.

It was an old black landline phone without a dial. Next to the phone, there were two large extra-large batteries. The scientific name for this kind of phone was probably a magnet phone.

I saw the director holding the big, bulky receiver of the phone with one hand, and holding a small rocker on the side of the phone with the other hand, shaking it vigorously.

After shaking it for more than ten times, the director picked up the receiver and shouted inside: "Switchboard, switchboard, pick me up from the County Public Security Bureau..."

As a result, no one answered the phone, so I put down the receiver and started talking.

After shaking several times, I finally connected to the switchboard, and then called the county public security bureau to report the relevant situation.

Liu Qingshan also shook his head: It’s so hard!

The three men came out from the police station and stayed at the commune until almost dark, then returned to the village hungry.

Three days passed like this, but there was no news about Qian Yuzhen. She was not known whether she was alive or dead, and whereabouts were unknown. The villagers gave up looking for her.

After dinner, many people in the village strolled to Liu Qingshan's courtyard.

This has been the case for the past few nights. They are discussing the matter of detaining the greenhouse, and more and more villagers are participating.

Seeing Shan Xing squatting on the ground and staring blankly at the other little kids playing wildly, the old party secretary took a puff of his cigarette and said, "This kid really has a hard life."

In the past few days, Shan Xing has been staying at Liu Qingshan's house for food and accommodation. The little girl is very well-behaved and sensible, but she is more silent than before, so silent that it makes people feel distressed.

Liu Qingshan had just thrown out a circle of smoke when he heard Zhang Ganzi shouting: "What name do you think is not good? It has to be called mountain apricot. How can mountain apricot not be bitter?"

As a result, the old branch secretary glared at him: "Shut up, don't act blindly all day long, when you have some free time, clean up your own house, it's like a pigsty!"

After training Zhang Gongzi, the old party secretary clicked his pipe twice more: "Let's put it all together, what should we do with this kid Shan Xing?"

"Since Yuzhen regards Jiapigou as her home, Shanxing will be our baby."

Zhang Guofu took over the conversation and said: "Let's just eat the food. If we have a family for three days, no one will be short of this food."

In that case, it will really be like eating from hundreds of families, which will definitely have an impact on the child's psychology, especially a more sensitive child like Shan Xing.

But there is no way to specifically arrange Shan Xing into whose family, after all, no one is rich these days, and suddenly having an extra mouth will be a big burden.

At this time, Grandpa Guaizi suddenly said: "There is no need to distribute food, Shanxing will be in my house from now on, and I will have an extra granddaughter!"

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, this was the best arrangement.

After all, Grandpa Kidnapper has an allowance, so his life is pretty good.

Unexpectedly, someone stood up to express dissent. The speaker was Lin Zhi. She gently used her fingers to comb her hair, combed it behind her ears, and then said calmly:

"I think it's better to stay at my house. Uncle Kidnapper takes care of the children. After all, it's inconvenient. Besides, Shan Xing can play with our Sifeng."

The villagers in the courtyard all looked at Lin Zhi with admiration. After all, not everyone has such courage.

Of course Liu Qingshan supported his mother's decision. He walked to Shan Xing, gently picked up the little guy, and tapped her little nose with his hand: "Wufeng'er, call me brother."

The youngest in the Lin Zhi family is Si Feng Liu Caifeng, and Shan Xing is a few months younger than Si Feng.

The crystal eyes rolled down from the little girl's big eyes. She put her two small arms around Liu Qingshan's neck and cried hoarsely:
Chapter completed!
