"Huanhuan, where are you?" I whispered in my heart while looking at the waning moon outside the window. A few days ago, I was still taking chances.
I felt that He Huanhuan was really going to someone's house to play or he would come back after a while, but as time passed, He Huanhuan did not come back.
We were all disheartened and were completely sure that something unexpected had happened to He Huanhuan.
In addition to my bad condition this month, He Gui is also very decadent and resorts to drinking to drown his sorrows all day long.
Yin Wenqian's mother and daughter were also discharged from the hospital, but because of He Huanhuan's disappearance, He Gui often quarreled with them, causing rifts in their relationship.
In addition to going to the police station every day to inquire about the results, I also went to He Gui's home several times. I always felt that He Huanhuan's disappearance was related to Yin Wenqian's mother and daughter.
One day, I sneaked into their house and hid under the window, and heard Yin Wenqian's mother and daughter whispering, saying that He Huanhuan's disappearance was retribution, and that living was a waste of air.
"Hmph, you dare to go against us, this is the fate of bitch He. She will suffer the most when she is in the hands of human traffickers!" Yin Wenqian said bitterly.
I looked up and saw Yin Wenqian's hateful and proud face. I really wanted to go up and beat her.
"Mom." Guo Meilian suddenly said: "Where do you think the traffickers will sell He Huanhuan, and what kind of torture will she suffer?"
Hearing this, my whole body was shocked and I listened carefully. From the tone of their conversation, it seemed that He Huanhuan was really abducted by them.
"Hmph, what kind of torture was she subjected to?" Yin Wenqian said bitterly: "No matter where she is sold, she will not end well. Do you know the prostitutes in the brothel? He Huanhuan's experience must be much worse than that of a prostitute. She is raped by men every day. Play, haha..."
"She deserves to be unlucky. Who told her not to give me a big brother? This is her fate..." came Guo Meilian's vicious voice.
My heart was bleeding when I heard what they said. If He Huanhuan was really tortured like that, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.
The day I eavesdropped, I almost rushed in and asked the two of them if they had been abducted by He Huanhuan, but I still resisted.
First of all, everyone in the village knew about He Huanhuan's disappearance. They were just discussing where He Huanhuan was sold by traffickers, and they did not say that He Huanhuan's disappearance was related to them.
If I rush in and question them, they will not admit it. If they are really suspects, they will be more cautious in the future, and it will be more difficult to investigate clues from them.
"Hey." I sighed and closed my eyes.
The next day, after breakfast, the first thing I did was go to the police station to inquire about He Huanhuan, but there was still no result.
I made frequent calls to Captain Wei in town, but the result was the same.
After coming out of the police station, I bought some paper money, fruits and a few bottles of beer, and walked towards Teacher Qiao's grave. When I left the village, I saw the dirt road leading to my hometown in the countryside.
On both sides of the dirt road were bare poplar trees and desolate wasteland. As I walked on the road, I was thinking that if Teacher Qiao knew about He Huanhuan's disappearance, he would definitely jump out of his grave in anger.
The wind gradually picked up, and along with the cold wind, a thick dark cloud floated in, covering the sun, making the atmosphere gloomy and depressing.
"Quack, quack..."
Looking up, I saw two crows flying over my head, as if foreshadowing something ominous. I looked around cautiously and quickened my pace.
More than twenty minutes later, I walked into the graveyard and came to Teacher Qiao's grave. I placed the tribute on the ground, lit the paper money, and knelt down.
"Teacher Qiao, I'm sorry, I failed to take good care of He Huanhuan. She has disappeared. Did you know?" I said sadly.
Teacher Qiao’s words of begging for me before he died are still in my ears.
"Xiao, Xiao An, take care of me, take good care of Huanhuan, please, please marry He Huanhuan, I beg you..." These were the words Teacher Qiao prayed to me after he died.
She only had two minutes at that time, but she did not tell the cause of her death. Instead, she spent her precious time praying for me to take care of He Huanhuan.
This is her love for her daughter, and what Teacher Qiao is most worried about is He Huanhuan.
But at that time, due to some reasons, I failed to agree to Teacher Qiao's marriage to He Huanhuan, which caused Teacher Qiao to die with regret and never settle in peace.
But I swore in my heart that I would take good care of He Huanhuan and treat her as my own sister.
But the funny thing is that I failed to fulfill my promise. He Huanhuan disappeared and may have suffered inhuman torture. This made me feel very guilty.
Moreover, the truth about Teacher Qiao's death at that time has not been revealed until now, but her death must be related to that bitch Yin Wenqian.
Coupled with the disappearance of He Huanhuan, I also suspected that she had something to do with her. Under the double hatred, I really wanted to destroy Yin Wenqian's whole family.
But suspicion is useless. Without evidence, we can't do anything to Yin Wenqian.
But I believe that the cause and effect of heaven is fair and just. If these two things are really inseparable from her, I believe that she will one day suffer a painful retribution!
"Yin Wenqian." I drank heavily and whispered darkly, "If I find evidence that these two things are related to you, I will definitely make your life worse than death, and Guo Meilian."
"Quack, quack..."
The two crows flew back again, circling above my head, and the burning paper money made a crackling sound.
I looked at the fire in a daze, and vaguely seemed to see the figures of Teacher Qiao and He Huanhuan.
From the day I entered kindergarten, the memories of Teacher Qiao and He Huanhuan echoed in my mind like a movie.
"Brother An, you will be my brother from now on."
"Well, sister, I will take care of you and take care of you for the rest of my life!"
"Brother An, I will also buy you expensive gifts in the future."
"Brother An, if, if Xiao Mengxin's parents don't agree with you being together, don't forget that I'm still at home..."
With He Huanhuan's words echoing in my ears, I leaned on Teacher Qiao's grave, drinking beer in mouthfuls, and wet my clothes with tears.
"Teacher Qiao, I failed to take good care of Huanhuan and she was lost. Will you blame me?" I turned my head and looked at Teacher Qiao's grave. I felt very sorry for myself. I felt sorry for Teacher Qiao and even more sorry for Huanhuan.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the dark clouds in the sky are gradually increasing, and the sky is so gloomy that it seems to be dripping with water.
I stood up staggeringly, wiped my tears, looked at Teacher Qiao's grave and said, "Teacher Qiao, don't worry, I will definitely find Huanhuan. This is my promise to you. I'm leaving first, Teacher Qiao."
But the moment I turned around, I couldn't tell if it was because I was dazzled or something, but out of the corner of my eye, I seemed to see a trace of black resentment spreading from the edge of Teacher Qiao's grave.
Bang bang bang.
My heart beat wildly several times in succession. I quickly turned back and rubbed my eyes, and looked carefully, but there was nothing there.
"Did I see it wrong? How could it be?" I squatted in front of the grave again and carefully rummaged through the loess where the resentment had just appeared, but found nothing.
Maybe I really saw it wrong, so I walked towards the countryside without thinking too much.
Time flies quickly, another month has passed.
There is still no news about He Huanhuan. I don’t know how to describe my mood. I spend almost every day in self-blame and sadness. After losing more than ten pounds last month, I have not gained it back.
My father was worried about my health and came to my grandma's house several times to see me. However, he was taciturn and would not say anything to comfort me, telling me to pay more attention to my health and not to be too sad.
My eldest sister Chen Meimei and my eldest brother Chen Mingtao learned about He Huanhuan's disappearance and my dumping by Xiao Meng from their grandma. When they learned that I was in poor condition, they came back from the city to check on me. They usually celebrate the holidays. Will go home.
The eldest brother works in the hairdressing industry. I haven’t seen him for a few months. He is much more handsome. He has an avant-garde side-swept hairstyle and is also very fashionable in his clothes. He wears a white shirt, a suit and a black vest underneath.
After my eldest brother got home, he tried his best to make me happy and even designed a new hairstyle for me. While cutting my hair, he comforted me and said, "Xiao An, don't get angry about He Huanhuan. I feel like she You will definitely come back, and ah, I heard grandma said that after you were dumped by that Xiao Mengxin, you were like an eggplant beaten by frost, isn't it?"
"Hmph, what's the big deal about Xiao Mengxin being a bit rich? Now she looks down on you. In the future, she will definitely not be able to reach you, and she won't even be qualified to carry your shoes."
The eldest brother Chen Mingtao fiddled with the scissors and said: "Brother, you have to broaden your horizons. There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly? Don't hang on to one woman and ignore the entire forest!"
I shook my head and smiled bitterly when I heard this. I couldn't explain my relationship with Xiao Mengxin to my elder brother, and he didn't understand even if I told him.
"Ming Tao, what do you know? Don't make a bad friend of our brother. Our brother is called emotional single-mindedness!" The eldest sister Chen Meimei, who was looking at the mirror at the side, turned around and said: "Besides, listen to what our grandma said, my brother is with that one Xiao Mengxin is a twin flame, the other half of each other's soul, that is divine love, you don't understand."
After Chen Meimei finished speaking, she showed an expression of longing for true love.
"You can pull me down and give back the divine love of your twin flames. You are twenty-four years old and you still daydream about love all day long and want to give back the divine love. If this is really the case, how can she dump our brother and hurt him like this? "Chen Mingtao took off the haircut scarf from my neck and said, "I think that woman is a snobbery. How many beautiful women are unrealistic? She just looks down on our poor family. He..."
But he hasn't finished speaking yet.
The grandpa in the kitchen suddenly called out, "Ming Tao, have you finished cutting Xiao An's hair? Go and collect a basket of coal for me. Your grandma went to buy ribs and wants to come back."
"Ah, I understand, grandpa." Chen Mingtao blew the hair on my neck and went out.
The eldest sister Chen Meimei suddenly looked at me and said: "Brother, don't listen to your elder brother. He doesn't understand women. You have to follow your inner intuition, you know?"
