Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 71: Digging a stick, being followed

The sudden arrival of human traffickers plunged the entire Tuanjietun into extreme panic.

Qi Shunli convened an emergency meeting of the village cadres and formulated a series of plans.

These measures include patrolling the village day and night, keeping children away from the house as much as possible, and not hanging children's clothes outside.

Afterwards, he took people to the Dai family to comfort them.

The little girl was tired of crying, and curled up in Nan Chunwan's arms, holding her mother's collar tightly with her little hands.

When she saw many people coming into the room, she immediately buried her little face in Nan Chunwan's neck, her whole body trembling slightly.

"Captain, can you please spare me a moment to talk? The child can't handle so many people coming here."

Dai Song's heart ached when he saw this. He frowned and smiled bitterly as he invited a group of village cadres into the main room.

Qi Shunli, Dai Song and Jiang Weiqun sat down on the small kang, surrounded by several village cadres.

"Songzi, this happened because of our negligence. We have already activated the emergency plan to ensure that similar problems will never happen again!"

"Captain, I am concerned about whether that person can be caught."

"... Songzi, we can only try our best. We have already reported the incident to the town police. We also took the 28-inch bicycle that the man left behind. We are not professionals, so we can't tell what the final result will be."

Dai Song clenched his fists, closed his eyes and remained silent.

He had learned a little about the criminal investigation technology of this era when he was browsing on his phone in his previous life, and it was still in its infancy.

Fingerprints are also compared with the naked eye, not to mention big data and the like.

If we didn't catch that guy at that time, trying to find him later would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Jiang Weiqun on the side wiped her tears and pushed Dai Song, who had to stand up and give up his seat.

"Village chief, my precious granddaughter is so pitiful. You saw how cute she is, little girl! Today, she was almost snatched away by a beggar... My poor granddaughter, it's all my fault. My little flower dog is so smart. It rushed up to bite the beggar, but I didn't even notice it. I even led my granddaughter to get close to him. It's all my fault! Village chief, you must help our family!"

"Aunt Jiang, don't blame yourself. How can you be blamed for this? Don't worry, we will do our best! If there is any follow-up news, I will come to you as soon as possible!" Qi Shunli patted Jiang Weiqun's hand.

"Hey! Captain, thank you! Thank you so much!" Jiang Weiqun burst into tears.

……

After all, the human traffickers have not been caught yet, so any amount of comforting is just superficial.

After making several assurances with the Dai family and communicating about the current situation and plans, Qi Shunli took the rest of the people away.

However, on this night that should have been a night of celebration, the atmosphere became unusually cold and lonely because Xiao Yingying was almost lost.

After Dai Shuzhi and Dai Bai heard about what happened, they were so angry that their teeth were itching.

Dai Bai's fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound. Tang Liping was afraid that he would scare his little niece again, so she comforted Dai Song and his wife and took him back to the room to sleep.

Dai Shuzhi suddenly looked much more depressed, completely losing his old and cheerful spirit.

He tried his best to amuse the little girl, but found that she was always listless. He had no choice but to hug Jiang Weiqun and call Dai Xiaoqian to join him. The father and daughter first calmed Jiang Weiqun down.

With his beloved daughter already in such a state, how could Dai Song still have the mood to take out his watch to appease his wife?
He quietly put the watch into his chest bag, then put the bag into the kang cabinet in front of his wife, saying that the money in it was for his brother to keep, and then he planned to go to the main room, take out the corrugated lid of the black bear, smash it and make soup.

The ridged cap of the black bear's apple is mainly used to treat rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis, and it is most effective when soaked in wine.

But it actually also deals with children who are frightened (guest disobedience).

In the Northeast, many great masters keep a piece of Xiong Bo Leng Gai on hand. At critical moments, they can grind a little powder into powder and swallow it directly with water. It is said that it can suppress many problems.

But just as he stood up, he heard his daughter whimpering pitifully, "Dad~"

"Hey~ Dad is here, what's wrong with Yingying?" Dai Song tried to smile, but his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

The little girl's originally innocent and bright face was now wilted. As soon as Dai Song approached her, she stretched out her little hands to him and asked for a hug.

"Yingying, don't be afraid. The bad guy has run away. It won't be long before the bad guy is caught and will never appear next to Yingying again~"

The little girl nodded and shrank into Dai Song's neck, quiet like a little doll.

Dai Song was reluctant to let her go. While patting her back gently, he called Nan Chunwan and taught her how to make soup with bear kneecap.

Bear bones have a strong fishy smell, and even adults frown when they smell the soup made from them.

But the little girl saw that it was her parents who were in agony, and now that Dai Song was holding the spoon, she didn't make a fuss at all and drank the whole bowl of soup obediently.

I don’t know if it was the bear knee that worked or the little girl was tired of crying, but after a few minutes, Yingying lay on Dai Song’s shoulder and began to snore slightly.

When they put her back in bed, her two little hands were tightly grasping Dai Song's clothes, and her little brows were slightly wrinkled. The couple rubbed her for a long time before they rubbed her...

This night is destined to be sleepless.

After thinking all night, Dai Song got up with red eyes and looked at his daughter beside him. The little girl looked much better and her sleeping posture was more relaxed, unlike the tight sleep she had when she fell asleep last night.

Maybe because the kang was quite hot, her face was flushed, and her two hands were stretched out of the quilt. Dai Song pursed his lips, carefully put her hands back into the quilt, and turned to go straight to Xie Shubao's house.

He will stay at home with his daughter these two days, so he will put his plan of going up the mountain to pick up the hammer on hold.

But when he arrived at Xie Shubao's house, his brows furrowed again.

As for my own family, the atmosphere was depressed because they had encountered such hardships, but what about Xie Shubao's family?
Not only was the room colder than in the previous few days, but even the things that Xie Shubao had carried back yesterday were nowhere to be found.

Ever since Xie Shubao met Dai Song, he has been turning sideways and dared not raise his head.

what's the situation?
Dai Song quickly went over Xie Shubao's "abnormality" in his mind over the past few days.
At night, he would carry badgers in dark places, refuse to accept the hammer, ask for less money, block the door with heavy objects, and refuse to accept the money after selling them...

All these clues put together indicate that Xie Shubao is wary of someone with whom he has a special relationship.

can.

Why is it so inch?

Dai Song thought of a possibility, a possibility with a very low probability, but he did not dare to be arrogant or ignore it.

He quickly adjusted his mood and used a slightly hoarse voice to express his excitement and curiosity.
"Eh? Little Bookbag, you are so rich now, but why are you so reluctant to light the firewood at home? It's as cold inside as outside. Where's your aunt?"

"My mother is sleeping in the room..." Xie Shubao said in a hoarse voice.

Dai Song looked around the room. The door to the main room was closed and the glass on the door was blocked by clothes.

Is there a door in this room? Why have I never seen this room with its door closed before?

The main room was as "empty" as ever, and it was obviously cleaned, so he couldn't see any problem, so he said:

"Come on, little schoolbag, let's go to the mountain to pick up the hammers?"

"Ah? No, Brother Song, I don't feel well today..."

Dai Song walked around the house with a sullen face. When he passed by the stove, his eyes suddenly lit up.

There were originally only two pairs of chopsticks in the bamboo tube, but now there are three pairs!

Dai Song suddenly calmed down. He thought about it again and again, and asked with a smile,

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Dai Song controlled his facial muscles and raised his eyebrows in an exaggerated manner. "You have been as strong as iron since childhood, how could you feel uncomfortable?"

"Hmm...hmm!" Xie Shubao lowered his head and nodded imperceptibly.

"Stop it." Dai Song hit his shoulder and said loudly.

"Come on, you have to go up the mountain with me today. There are still a lot of hammers waiting for us to carry. Don't get carried away just because you've made a little money! You'll lose at least seven or eight hundred if you take a day off!"

"Brother Song, I..." Xie Shubao's voice trembled slightly. He tilted his head to look at Dai Song, his eyes as red as Dai Song's.

"Stop, stop, stop... stop." Dai Song stretched out his hand and pinched Xie Shubao's upper and lower lips, smiling gently.

"I'll go back and prepare things and pick you up later. Let's have a great time today!"

Before Xie Shubao could react, Dai Song had already walked out of the yard.

Xie Shubao's reaction and the information he observed were enough to show how serious the situation he was facing was.

The person in the main room could actually frighten him to the point of trembling...

Although the two events currently seem to have no connection except for the coincidence of timing.

But Dai Song didn't want to miss any possibility. Whether it was luck or neurosis, as long as there was a chance to find clues, he definitely didn't want to miss it!
This incident touched his bottom line. After being reborn, he didn't want to have any regrets.

Fifteen minutes later, Dai Song and Xie Shubao slowly walked out of the house.

"Brother Song, let's go back...it's so cold today."

"I find that you are really cocky. You did make a lot of money yesterday, but are you satisfied with this little money? How old are you? You have a long life ahead of you. You and your aunt need money for many things. If you want to live a good life, you need money to support yourself. You are so young, but you are already complacent? Don't tell me that you want to wait until all your money is gone before you think about making money."

"No, Brother Song, I..." Xie Shubao was extremely anxious.

Dai Song noticed that his fists were clenched tightly the whole time, and at this moment, except for the bruises on the back of his hands, they were completely bloodless.

"Hey, what's wrong with you today? Why are you talking so much nonsense and thinking so much? Whether money can solve the problem or not, we can only know it after we have money, right? You haven't even made enough money yet, and you're already being lazy. What's going on?"

Dai Song talked a lot today. He was racking his brains, trying hard to play the role of a big brother both in life and in spirit.

Xie Shubao pursed his lips and wiped his nose with the back of his hand from time to time.

As soon as the two of them entered Gouzi Mountain, he said, "Brother Song, let's go back! We really can't..."

"Little schoolbag." Dai Song looked at the white ground behind him. The footprints of the two formed two extremely clear lines.

When he saw a few black spots appearing at the entrance of a village far away, his eyes instantly turned cold.
