Cao Kui and I began to discuss countermeasures on how to find the body of Wang Lulu's mother as soon as possible.
Later, the two of us unanimously set our sights on the child.
I thought you were right. There is a small mountain village next to here. I can just ask the villagers to help dig.
So we immediately called the child over.
"Kids, this uncle and I are going to discuss a business with people in your village. Can you help us introduce someone in the village that we can talk to?"
"You don't have to be afraid. We two are not bad people. If we were really bad people, how could you still be fine now?"
When I said this, the child nodded in agreement and was no longer so afraid.
"Then, then come with me!"
So the three of us left the back mountain together and returned to the village.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw a couple waiting anxiously. When the child appeared, the woman rushed forward, hugged the child tightly, and quickly moved away from Cao Kui and me.
Before either of us could speak, the child started to explain.
"Mom, these two uncles are not bad people. They need our help for something. I will take them to find the village chief."
The woman retreated behind with her child, while the man came to Cao Kui and me, looking at the two of us with vigilant eyes.
I told the man that I hoped to make a deal with the villagers here and would give them a very generous reward.
"What do you need us for? How much money?"
Sure enough, money is easy to use, and this village looks relatively poor. Money is obviously very attractive to the villagers.
I glanced at Cao Kui next to me, he nodded and said.
"All we need is that you take two of us to dig something in the back mountain. Once you dig it, we'll give you two hundred yuan each."
"No matter how long you dig, it won't take more than three hours. If you dig up what we want as soon as you come up, we will still settle the bill at 200 yuan."
The man seemed very satisfied with the price of two hundred yuan, even a little surprised, and then he asked again.
"Then how many people do you need?"
"The more the better, but it must be a man, and no one who is just pretending to be a man!"
The man already had an idea in his mind, and then he told us.
"Then you just wait here for a while. I'll go back and report this matter to the village chief. If everything goes well, it won't take long for everyone to gather."
"At this moment, everyone has finished their work outside and gone home. We will soon have enough people."
Cao Kui nodded and didn't say anything else. Anyway, the weather wasn't very cold at the moment, so it didn't matter for the two of us to wait outside for a while.
Moreover, it is normal for these villagers to be wary of us, which is understandable.
Soon the couple took the child and left. I looked at the time and it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
I estimate that even if everything goes well, when Cao Kui and I return to Jiangcheng after our work is over, it will probably be early in the morning or even until tomorrow morning.
I sighed, shook my head helplessly, found a big rock on the side of the road and sat down.
While waiting, Cao Kui and I kept chatting. The signal in the village was very poor, and I couldn't even use my mobile phone to access the Internet.
We talked a lot about things related to Brother Hei. After all, this is actually the only common language between the two of us.
Then Cao Kui asked me if anything interesting happened to Brother Hei in prison. Of course it did.
I said to Cao Kui with a smile.
"You don't know, Brother Hei actually looked down on me very much at first, and even brought people to bully me and make things difficult for me."
"But one time, Brother Hei made me anxious. I picked up a fork and poked it, but Brother Hei directly blocked the fork with his palm. The blood flowed so much that it almost scared me to death."
"Perhaps it was because we didn't know each other before we started fighting. This may have recognized my courage. Later, our relationship gradually improved."
As if I had opened up a chat box, I kept telling Cao Kui what happened in the prison at that time.
In addition, I also miss the days when I was with Brother Hei very much. Those days even made me forget that I was still in prison.
At the end, I saw a faint smile on Cao Kui's face, as if he was missing something.
Then he smiled softly and said.
"Lin Qiao, if Brother Hei likes a brother like you, he will die with no regrets in his life."
Just when the two of us were feeling sad, we saw a large group of people walking towards the village entrance in the distance, each of them holding a shovel in their hand.
Apparently the villagers came here to make extra money. There were a lot of people, so the trip probably cost tens of thousands of dollars, but it was well worth it for the two of us.
I even felt that the money given was a little too little.
Soon the man led an elderly man to the two of us.
This old man is the village chief at first glance, because he exudes a touch of majesty. Perhaps this man has been sitting in the position of village chief for a long time, maybe more than half a century.
We briefly told the village chief about the mission.
The village chief asked us what we were going to dig. I shook my head and said I didn’t know.
I was worried that if I told them directly that I wanted to exhume the bodies, they would definitely stop going.
After all, this small mountain village is still so poor, so it is inevitable that some feudal superstitions, Feng Shui and other things will be left behind.
Such thoughts and thoughts are the easiest to think wrongly.
Although the village chief was a little dissatisfied and wary of my perfunctory attitude, his village was not very wealthy after all.
An income of two hundred yuan per person is already very expensive for the residents of this village.
If a family can have multiple men, it will be four hundred or even six hundred, and a family will be thousands of dollars.
This is a huge temptation for them. I am afraid that even if the village chief refuses to help us, these people will sneak out.
So the village chief nodded in agreement and reminded him.
"I agree with you coming to our village to find help, but I would like to remind you if you are using our villagers to do something illegal and criminal."
"We won't let you go then!"
I promised with a smile.
"Don't worry, village chief. We are both law-abiding citizens and will not do anything illegal or disorderly."
The village chief nodded and waved his hand, and the villagers marched toward the back mountain with us.
I saw that the village chief was also going with the team. He noticed my eyes and smiled.
"I'm just joining in the fun and don't need your two hundred yuan."
