Chapter 243: Searching for someone

Chapter 244 Looking for someone

The luxurious black car stopped by the West Bridge in Jingtan County. The driver got out of the car and asked an old man on the roadside for information.

“Uncle, let me ask you, do you know how to get to Zhangjiagou?”

The uncle was an enthusiastic person. Seeing that these people were well-dressed and did not look like bad people, he cheerfully pointed the way to the driver, "Zhangjiagou? Ouch, that place is a bit far away and the road is not easy to walk. It’s a bit of a waste to drive such a nice car like yours.”

The driver smiled and said, "It's okay, just tell me what to do."

The old man stood up and pointed to the asphalt road ahead, "You just go west along Yingbin Street. After passing the fertilizer factory, there is a fork in the road. Go straight to the right. When you go around a winding mountain road, you can arrive."

According to the uncle's description, the Qin family's motorcade traveled over mountains and ridges, and after bypassing a very difficult winding mountain road, they finally saw a sparse set of low houses sandwiched between two mountains.

 When the car drove into the village, it was immediately greeted by a group of ragged children, women and elderly people.

Mr. Qin was sitting in the car, looking at the barren villages outside the car window and becoming increasingly worried. Has that child been living in a place like this for decades? How much has he suffered over the years?

But when the driver found the village director and asked about what happened back then, he found out that the old man who had seen the child before had died of illness a few years ago!

The village chief stood solemnly in front of Mr. Qin, with a hint of flattery in his smile, "Old man, what do you want from me, Uncle Zhang? He never got married after he came back from the Korean War, so you want to say that he used to We really don’t know who we have met…”

Mr. Qin was a little disappointed. The clues he had worked so hard to find were just cut off, so there was no point in staying on. He closed his eyes and raised his hand, signaling the bodyguard to help him leave.

But this was the first time the village chief saw such a good car. He knew without thinking that the old man sitting in the first place must be rich or noble. If he seized the opportunity to help them, the old man might be happy and leaked. It's enough for him to eat and drink just under his fingers! But the old man said he wanted to find someone. When Uncle Zhang came back, he was indeed alone. He had no friends for so many years. Who else could know what happened in the past?

Why? friend? The village chief suddenly thought that thirty years ago, an old man came to the village to look for Uncle Zhang. He seemed to be very familiar with them. Maybe that man could know something?

Thinking of the village chief, he quickly stepped forward to stop the old man who was about to leave, but was stopped by the bodyguard, "What are you doing?"

“Don’t be excited, don’t be excited. I just suddenly remembered that my uncle Zhang had an old comrade in arms. I helped him pull a cart back then. If you ask about Uncle Zhang, maybe that person can know something.”

The driver received Mr. Qin's message and immediately asked, "What is the name of his comrade and where does he live?"

The village chief chuckled, "I don't know where I live, but I remember at the time that Uncle Zhang called him Lao Fang..."

With new clues, the bodyguard immediately contacted the local public administration bureau and investigated the families named Fang in the county. After elimination, four families were finally identified. After the men visited, they finally targeted a family near No. 1 Middle School.

The next morning, when Mrs. Fang finished cleaning up the house and was about to push Mrs. Fang out for a walk as usual, she was startled by a row of luxury cars and a group of men in black outside the door.

 “Hey, what are you... doing in front of my house?”

The driver immediately stepped forward and explained with a smile, "Sister, I'm sorry to scare you. We are here to look for someone. Is this Fang Mansion?"

Fang’s mother was embarrassed by this man’s polite way of speaking, “Oh, you’re too polite, what’s wrong with the government? My husband’s surname is Fang. I don’t know who you are looking for?”

 The driver was a little excited, "I wonder... who are you, Fang Shikuan?"

Fang’s mother Liu Cuixia was stunned for a moment, Fang Shikuan? Isn't this my father-in-law?

“He is my father-in-law, but he has passed away many years ago.”

“We just want to ask about some old news from your family. Is it convenient?”

Seeing Fang's mother nod, the driver immediately returned to the car excitedly and gestured at the rear window. Then Fang's mother saw an old man dressed simply but with an excited face being carried out of the car.

"Who is this…"

 The driver quickly explained, "This is my old man."

But before the two of them finished speaking, Mrs. Fang pushed her wheelchair from behind and said, "What are you doing? You are dawdling, what time is it already? If you don't go out, the morning market will be gone!"

Turning around and seeing the people outside the door, Old Mrs. Fang frowned immediately, "Who are you?"

The driver wasn't angry either. He smiled and quickly explained the reason for their coming, "We are looking for someone, and we hope the old man can help."

Mrs. Fang was originally very impatient, but after seeing the row of luxury cars outside the door, she made a small calculation in her mind and immediately ordered Liu Chunxia to open the door and welcome the guests into the house for a detailed discussion.

Looking at the energetic old Mr. Qin sitting opposite, Mrs. Fang smiled very kindly and said, "This old man looks very kind-hearted. What is your surname and where do you live?"

Mr. Qin had not seen anyone of his age for a long time. Seeing Mrs. Fang's kind-hearted attitude, he rarely started chatting, "I'm going to make you laugh. My surname is Qin. I'm eighty-five this year. My children are all working in the provincial capital." , and I lived with them.”

“Oh, then you are really lucky. Unlike my family, the children have no future. They are just working somewhere in these small places. They have never seen much of the world in their lives, and their family is also poor. It makes you laugh..."

Old Mrs. Qin looked at the clean and elegant furnishings around him and smiled, "I came here this time because I wanted to ask you about some old things."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fang immediately patted her chest and assured her that there was no problem, "Oh, you're out of touch! I have lived in Jingtan County for decades. I don't know anything else. If you want to know about the past, just ask me. You’re really asking! Tell me, what do you want to ask?”

“When your husband came back from the army, did he tell you that he had seen a child who was only a few months old?”

child? How many months old?

Old Mrs. Fang immediately recalled the past. When her husband came back from the army, he did bring a child back. Is it difficult for these people to know about that child?

Thinking of the quarrels she had with her husband and the slander behind her back because of this incident, Mrs. Fang put away her smile and looked evasive, "I can't remember! There were so many things back then, who can still remember them!"

Old Mrs. Qin was stunned, "This... you just said you knew everything, why can't you remember it? Sister, are you thinking about it?"

But the old lady Fang insisted that she had never seen any children, and even became grumpy, waving her arms to drive people out.

Old Mrs. Qin was very frustrated when he saw that the clue was interrupted again, "Okay, I thought it was simple. I have caused you trouble, let's go."

 Watching Mr. Qin leave, Old Mrs. Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but Mother Fang noticed something strange about her mother.
