Lin Yue knew that Chen Yulian must have been waiting impatiently. If not for hunting the wild boar, he would have come back last night. In this era, there were no mobile phones, Internet, etc., so there was no way to report safety remotely. With Chen Yulian's feelings for her son, she could remain calm. That's weird.
"Okay, I'm going home first."
He turned around and walked out.
The carpenter's wife is also a real person. She looked at the pheasant in her hand and hurriedly called from behind: "Take this pheasant back..."
Carpenter Xiao pressed her hand down: "Don't cause any trouble."
"Why am I causing trouble?"
"If you give it to him, can he take it? It's just a waste of time."
"But we can't... we can't take advantage of a child."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is more than half a month away. I will buy some more cakes for my aunt and send them to her. This is called reciprocity, do you understand?"
"Day by day, the stinking is showing off."
"Why am I showing off? After all, I graduated from elementary school, so I'm better than you who can't read a few Chinese characters."
"..."
Lin Yue couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the bickering behind him.
After coming out of the courtyard, he didn't waste time and went straight to his grandma's house.
The door was unlatched and ajar, and there was no one in the yard.
He picked the pheasants and foxes, put the pole in place, and walked into the main room with his bag. Chen Jinzhu and Hu Li were not at home, so he went to open the door of the east room.
"Grandma, grandma."
He called out twice, and the old lady who was leaning on the roll-shaped quilt woke up instantly. When she saw him coming back, she was so excited that she almost fell off the bed.
Lin Yue quickly supported the person.
"You're finally back."
The old lady held his hand tightly, as if she was afraid of losing him if she let go: "You haven't been home all day, what have you been doing?"
"Didn't Uncle Xiao tell you? I went hunting in the mountains with an old hunter."
"Don't talk about this yet."
The same goes for the old lady. She was the one who asked the question, and she was the one who didn't mention this matter. Such... a sharp turn of mind.
"Hurry to the mayor's house now."
Lin Yue was puzzled: "Why go to the mayor's house?"
"Your mother and your uncle went to the back mountain and couldn't find you. They just discussed asking Jin Shui to mobilize the whole village to help find you." The old lady pushed him with her hand: "Why are you still hanging around? Go quickly. "
"Okay, I'll go right away." Lin Yue agreed, walked out of the room and went straight to Chen Jinshui's house.
The newly built house in the west of the village is Chen Jinshui's home. The threshold is higher than a child's knees. When he came home from watching "Fearless" the day before yesterday, Chen Ping tripped and almost fell over. Chen Jinzhu was so angry that he was so angry Screaming and saying that one day it will be sawed off.
This was an angry talk, and it was even drunken talk. No one believed it.
With Chen Jinshui's authority in Chenjiacun, who would dare to be so presumptuous? Not to mention Chen Jinzhu, Chen Jinshui's glare made the whole village bow their heads.
Lin Yue came to the door and heard an intense conversation before entering the hospital.
"Brother Jinshui, I beg you, please call on everyone on the loudspeaker to help me find the child."
"Yulian, I asked the police station, and they said they won't file a case if the child has been missing for less than 24 hours. If you wait any longer, the child might come back."
"Why is it not 24 hours? Carpenter Xiao at the entrance of the village said that Lin Yue would leave at noon. It has already been 24 hours now."
"Yulian, please don't mess around with me here. I have something to do. There is a class in the county and I have been asked to participate by name. Let's leave the matter of finding the child to the people at the police station. They are here OK."
"Brother, you could help me say something."
"..."
"Hey, Chen Yulian, don't pull me. I can't do anything if you pull me."
"Mayor, Mayor, I beg you."
It could be heard that Chen Yulian's voice was already crying. As a rural woman, she really had no choice.
"Oh, I've already told you, there's no point in begging me. Didn't you go to the back mountain and couldn't find him? If you ask me, he must have gone to Hangzhou to find his father."
"Mayor..."
"I really can't say anything anymore, I have to go."
"..."
Lin Yue couldn't help but frown while listening to the conversation between Chen Yulian and Chen Jinshui. This Chen Jinshui was pretty good when he was young, but now that he is older, he is not only headstrong and stubborn, but also has a bureaucratic air.
"Mom, I'm back."
Of course he couldn't bear to watch Chen Yulian beg Chen Jinshui again, so he walked into the courtyard and shouted to the three people standing at the door of the hall.
When Chen Yulian heard her son's voice, she thought she heard it wrong at first, until she looked over with Chen Jinzhu's gaze, murmured "It's Lin Yue", ran over and hugged him.
"I'm back, I'm back... I'm finally back, let mom see if you're injured?"
She touched his shoulders, arms, and hands. When she found that everything was okay, she hugged him and said with red eyes, "Where have you been? Do you know how worried mom is?"
Lin Yue said: "Uncle Xiao didn't tell you? I went hunting in the mountains. I was supposed to come back last night, but because I was too tired and it was difficult to walk at night, I rested for the night at Wangjingtou."
Chen Jinzhu and Chen Jinshui were stunned when they heard this, Wang Jingtou? That Wang Jingtou in Fotang Town? It is more than 20 kilometers away from Chenjiacun.
A 14-year-old boy actually traveled more than 20 kilometers to hunt? What a fucking talent!
Chen Yulian also reacted. Her expression of distress just now turned into anger in a blink of an eye. She pushed Lin Yue's shoulders and slapped him on the butt several times.
"Going up the mountain to hunt? I asked you to go up the mountain to hunt and I won't let you do business with Ji Fei. You are so angry with Mom for betting. Do you want to piss me off to death?"
Lin Yue said it was very embarrassing for him to be spanked or something.
But in the final analysis, I blame him for this matter. The mother also feels sorry for him and is afraid that he will be in danger. She compares her feelings with others. In order to calm her down, slap her twice.
Has the richest man ever thought about being spanked one day?
Did the emperor ever think about being spanked one day?
He was spanked here...
Chen Yulian hit him twice, and when she saw that he remained silent, she hugged him again.
"Mom shouldn't hit you. It's because Mom is not good. Mom didn't do well. Mom didn't do well..."
He cried while talking.
Lin Yue: "..."
He thought that the one thing he was best at was dealing with women, but when faced with Chen Yulian, he found that he had no choice.
Chen Jinshui was in a hurry to go to the county, and interrupted the reunion scene of mother and son in a very rude manner: "Yulian, just get the child back. You see how tired he is. In this case, you can take him home and have a good rest. I I'm leaving."
After speaking, without waiting for Chen Yulian's reply, she hung her briefcase on the handle of the Forever bicycle and walked out of the door with the bicycle.
"By the way, Chen Jinzhu, get the tractor from the village back to me quickly."
"I got it, Brother Jinshui."
Chen Jinzhu patted Chen Yulian on the shoulder: "Let's go. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we get home."
Chen Yulian wiped away the tears from her eyes, stood up and grabbed Lin Yue's hand: "Let's go home."
The three people crossed the high threshold and left.
Chen Jinshui's wife came out with a basin of dried salted fish, looked at the door, and then turned back to the house.
…
"Lin Yue, let me tell you, you can't do this again. Do you know how anxious grandma is?"
"..."
"You still hunt. How old are you before you learn how to hunt? There are so many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains, and the road is difficult to walk. If there is any danger, what will your mother do?"
"..."
"I'm talking to you, don't act like a normal person and turn a deaf ear to my words. My uncle is doing it for your own good."
"..."
The three of them walked together, and Chen Jinzhu scolded him all the way.
Lin Yue responded with silence. After all, he helped his sister find someone for a whole day. It was hard work without any credit, so let him say a few words.
"Hey, Hu Li, are you back?"
Just as they were about to reach the house, a figure flashed at the entrance of the alley behind. Hu Li turned in with a green scarf on her head and a sickle in her hand. As she walked, she used a linen sleeve to beat the dust on her body.
"Has the person been found?"
She asked expressionlessly.
Chen Yulian greeted him with a smile and pulled Lin Yue to the front: "Well, I found it."
"Where did you find it?"
"He ran to Fotang Town."
"Okay, it's wild enough. It's more than 20 kilometers in this run. Brother Chen Hong is already 20 this year and has never left our county."
Lin Yue had been listening to this strange tone for more than half a year, and he could be said to be used to it. Now... he was not used to it, and it felt very harsh. However, he was indeed wrong about going hunting in the mountains. He thought that Chen Jinzhu helped Chen Yulian find someone for a day. For my own sake, please bear with me a little bit.
"Okay, the kids are back, stop talking."
Chen Jinzhu tried to persuade him. The night before yesterday, he had a drunken argument with Chen Yulian. When he got home, he argued with Hu Li because he was unwilling to kill a chicken to make soup for the old lady. Lin Yue disappeared the next day. In the morning, he and Chen Yulian My sister found Carpenter Xiao's house, and then she found out that her nephew had used his workshop to make a bow and arrow. He kept saying that he wanted to go hunting in the mountains and get a pheasant to replenish his grandmother's health. Just imagine, if what happened that night had not happened, would the child have done this?
So why did he help with the search without complaint? A very important reason is guilt.
"Don't tell me? What if I don't tell you what to do next time? Are you going to give up the work in the fields and search for people all over the mountains and plains?" Hu Li was anxious. The two children went to do business with Chen Jianghe, and Chen Jinzhu helped Chen Yulian find them. My child, she was the only one working in the fields today. She was already full of anger. She came back and was lectured by a man again. Can she bear this? There's definitely going to be a scene.
