Xie Yongzhi remembered that he was sleepy at that time, and he answered impatiently, and then he heard his mother's footsteps getting farther and farther away. The cold porridge in the well water is served with the pickles pickled by my mother. It is cold and refreshing. Drinking a large bowl will refresh the whole body.

He was still waiting for his mother to come home from cutting pigweed on the mountain and bring him the wild fruits on the mountain. In the past, his mother would bring it to him every time he went up the mountain, but that day he waited until it was dark, and his mother did not come back. After leaving the village, people went to the mountain to look for it, but only found a pigweed basket and a sickle. Half of the pigweed was in the basket, and my mother disappeared.

"Everyone in the village said that my mother ran away with the wild man, because my mother was young and beautiful, and she thought my father was old and poor, so she wanted to run away a long time ago. My father didn't believe it, but when there were more people who said it, he believed it, no I'm allowed to mention my mother at home, but I don't believe it, my mother is not that kind of person, she can endure hardships and loves me very much, she also said that she will support me to go to college, and she will accompany me to report at the university."

Xie Yongzhi sniffed hard, Ji Wenchang handed him a tissue, and he took it and blew his nose, feeling extremely embarrassed.

But he really missed his mother. When his mother was at home, no matter how poor the family was, he never felt bitter. The meals made by his mother were delicious even without meat. His mother would try her best to make him various snacks. Never let him wear dirty clothes, clean every day.

After his mother was gone, life at home was turned upside down, his father was silent, his grandparents moaned and sighed every day, and life at home plummeted. Although his grandparents and father loved him very much, he still missed his mother and wanted to clean up his mother's reputation.

"I miss her so much, and I want to know how she is doing now. If she is doing well, I won't bother her."

When he was a child, he hoped that his mother would come back, but when he grew up, Xie Yongzhi hoped that his mother had really left with the wild man, which meant that his mother was still alive, but he still wanted to see his mother and tell her that he was admitted to university.

"Come here."

Jiang Hanyan's nose was a little sore, she wanted to help Xie Yongzhi.

"Thank you."

Xie Yongzhi couldn't stop thanking him, and half an hour later, Ji Wenchang brought him over. Xie Yongzhi was of medium height, with a pale complexion, wearing glasses, looking very thin, and wearing old clothes that didn't fit well, obviously from a very poor family background good.

Jiang Hanyan looked at his face, and Xie Yongzhi was embarrassed. After a while, Jiang Hanyan said: "Your birth date."

Xie Yongzhi immediately reported his birthday, Jiang Hanyan did the math, and his expression became serious, as expected, Xie Yongzhi's mother was no longer alive.

"Jiang... classmate Jiang, my mother... is she okay?"

Xie Yongzhi's voice trembled, he was very smart, he felt something, but he still didn't give up, maybe he felt wrong?
"Your mother has passed away, my condolences!" Jiang Hanyan comforted.

The blood on Xie Yongzhi's face disappeared in an instant. After a long time, he hugged his head and wept in a low voice. In fact, he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but he couldn't help but take chances before hearing the definite result, and now he completely gave up.

Ji Wenchang patted him lightly on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Your mother is in the sky, she must be very pleased to know that you have been admitted to university."

"She also said that she would report with me and take pictures at the school gate... Sorry, I can't control it..."

Xie Yongzhi cried louder and louder. In the past 15 years, he has persisted with the belief that his mother is still alive. He does not want his mother to come back one day and see him still farming in the mountain village. He does not want to let his mother down. , That's why he studied hard and was admitted to a university in Shanghai.

After a long time, Xie Yongzhi gradually calmed down, his eyes were red and swollen, and he asked hoarsely, "Student Jiang, can you figure out how my mother died?"

Jiang Hanyan shook his head, "I can't figure it out, but your mother passed away a long time ago, at least ten years ago."

Xie Yongzhi's face turned paler, his lips trembled, he couldn't imagine the reason for his mother's death, was it eaten by wild animals?Or fell into a cave?

Or was it murdered?
"Did your father not call the police when your mother disappeared?" Jiang Hanyan asked.

Xie Yongzhi smiled wryly, "Our village is halfway up the mountain, traffic is blocked, and it is very poor. The women in the village are basically married from other places. After giving birth, some of them live with men wholeheartedly, and some try to escape. After my mother's accident , There are a lot of gossips in the village, saying that my mother must have run away with the man, and my father was angry in his heart, and he didn't want to make his family scandal public, so he didn't call the police."

"Your home is Hui Province?"

Xie Yongzhi nodded, and said the name of the county, "It's a poor county, so poor."

Jiang Hanyan's heart skipped a beat. The name of the county sounded so familiar. She must have heard it before. Soon she remembered that it was the place where the missing girl had an accident.

"Is there a famous mountain in your county called Funiu Mountain? Many mountaineering enthusiasts go there to climb."

"Yes, our village is on the halfway of Mount Funiu. Mount Funiu is huge, with wild animals and mysterious caves. It is very dangerous. Even local people dare not go into the deep mountain alone." Xie Yongzhi said.

The strange feeling in Jiang Hanyan's heart came out again. What a coincidence, could the case of the missing girl be related to the disappearance of Xie Yongzhi's mother?

There was a knock on the door, and Aunt Wang called out, "Xiao Jiang!"

Doudou went to open the door, and Aunt Wang and another aunt in the community stood at the door. Behind them was a haggard couple with gray hair and old age, and the wife had to be supported by her husband.

"Xiaojiang, they want to ask you to help find their daughter, the one we talked about during the day." Aunt Wang winked.

"come in."

Jiang Hanyan immediately understood that they were the parents of the missing girl.

Both Ji Wenchang and Xie Yongzhi moved aside, and the couple sat down. Although they were very sad, they were very polite, decent people with qualities, and their family background should be good.

"I dreamed of Xiaoqi yesterday. She was trapped in a very dark room, crying and saying that her mother came to save me. Xiaoqi must not be dead. She is trapped and waiting for me to rescue her."

Xiaoqi's mother firmly believes that her daughter is not dead, because she has repeatedly dreamed that her daughter is in a dark and narrow room, asking her for help.

"Xiaoqi must have given me a tip. I told the police, but they didn't believe me. Miss Jiang, can you help me figure out where this room is?" Xiaoqi's mother begged.

"Let me calculate your daughter's approximate location first, and give me her birth date."

Xiaoqi's mother reported her daughter's birthday, and watched Jiang Hanyan's calculation eagerly. After a while, Jiang Hanyan did the calculation, and said with a smile, "Your daughter is still alive."

Xiaoqi's parents showed joy, and their spirits improved visibly. The couple asked in unison, "Where is Xiaoqi?"
