Invincible Chapter 316
A flashlight called over, "Who?"
Cai Guobin appeared under the light, "Battle Commander Chu, it's me."
"Chief Secretary, it's so late and you're leaving in such a hurry. Is there something wrong?"
A person's abilities are limited, so Cai Guobin could only ask others for help, "Battle Commander Chu, my mother is missing."
"Why is it missing?"
"I had a fight with Kong Xueyan because of my father's little life-saving money. My mother was afraid that I would be embarrassed, so she told me to leave here and walked out of the house."
"You are really promising——"
Now is not the time to complain, we have to find people first.
The two people went straight to the gate. The soldier on duty said that no elderly people passed by at all from 8 to 9 o'clock. In other words, Aunt Cai did not leave the military camp and was still in the family area.
Does this mean that Aunt Cai is safe? Not at all. The terrain of the family courtyard is complex, with uphill and downhill slopes, ditches, ridges, and wells. If you are not familiar with the terrain there, you are prone to danger.
"Cai Guobin, ask a few soldiers to help find people. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it will be."
It's dark and poorly lit, making it more difficult to find.
"Wait a minute, Battalion Commander Chu, go to the well and have a look first."
As long as you don't go to the well, you'll probably get a little injured at most, but your life won't be in danger.
The two people went to the mouth of the well. The water was quite deep and the area was large. There was no one in sight.
Cai Guobin then went to find a few soldiers and searched in the family area, even in the ditches and ditches of Caiyuanzi, but no one was found.
Where did a living person go? It’s hard to figure out.
Su Yian let the noise from next door make her fall asleep for a long time. Just when she was about to fall asleep, Chu Wensong came back.
The alarm clock points to half past ten.
"Why did you come back?"
Chu Wensong took off his clothes and only wore a small vest.
"I'm going to take a shower first and talk about it when I get back."
Chu Wensong took the battle bath very quickly, and there were still water drops on his hair.
"Dry your hair and cool it down."
Chu Wensong wiped his hair with a dry towel and said while wiping it: "The chief secretary's mother is missing. We went out to look for her, but we couldn't find her."
"No living person found?"
"We all guessed that maybe the old man didn't want to see his son and daughter-in-law now. The couple had a quarrel, and the old man left home."
"I heard it. It was quite noisy. Why did Director Cai marry a woman like Kong Xueyan? I can't even think of having a good life in the future."
"Don't worry, who told him to be blind-eyed and blind-minded? He should have heard about what Kong Xueyan is."
Su Yian yawned, "I can't hold it anymore, I'm going to sleep."
"Well, go to sleep, it's okay."
…
The wake-up call was blown, and the men went out for exercise. The diligent women also got up. While their children were still sleeping, they went to wash clothes at the well, pick vegetables in the vegetable garden, and catch insects.
At this time, the vegetables are not sprayed with pesticides and are pollution-free. There are also many insects. There are big caterpillars and cabbage worms on the cabbages, which cause serious harm to the land.
Except for those who are really lazy, and those who have to be lazy like Su Yian, military wives are like hard-working little bees, busy making their little homes better.
In the bungalow area of the family courtyard, the water used was spring water brought down from the mountain a few years ago, but the military wives found it uncomfortable to wash at home and had to carry dirty water out, so they were still used to washing at the well.
Three or four military wives have gathered at the edge of the well. There is a bluestone slab here and the water in the well is strong. They can cause trouble as they please.
"Have you heard? Chief Cai's mother got lost last night and has not been found yet."
Another military wife replied: "I heard that these families live in the family compound and there is a vegetable garden. How can you be embarrassed?"
"Check the fence to see if it has been broken through."
"Stop talking nonsense. Chief Cai's mother is not even seventy, she is in her sixties. If she were forty years younger, she might not be able to climb a wall."
The military wife who made this assumption argued: "What if there is a gap? Didn't Kong Lingming climb in through the gap last time?"
"That's different. Are you comparing an old nanny to an old scout? The gap was filled right away, and the wall was also inspected."
"How can a living person disappear?"
If several people look at the wellhead at the same time, will it be possible...
After all, there were two brave ones. They lay down at the mouth of the well and looked in. At this time, the light became brighter, and there were shadows on the water. When they looked carefully, someone shouted, "Oh my god——"
This voice was so frightening and penetrating that it woke up Su Yian who was a hundred meters away. He had no sleep at all and simply got up.
Opening the door, Liu Xiangyun was also looking at the door.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
"It seems that Secretary Cai's wife fell into the well."
"Ah? Are you rescued?"
"Silly sister, after one night, can you still be alive?"
It's okay if they don't know each other. At most, they sympathize with each other and the feelings are not that deep; but it's different if they know each other. The voice, face and smile are still in the mind, but the person is gone... There is nothing in Su Yian's stomach, but it feels like the river is turning upside down.
"My mother, I have found you. Why did you say that you are gone? Our fate has just begun. I still want to honor you, but you make us feel so sad -"
If Su Yian hadn't been her neighbor, and if Su Yian hadn't known her nature, she might have been deceived into thinking how virtuous and filial Kong Xueyan was.
Aunt Cai was fished out. She had been soaked in the well water for too long, and her body was severely soaked and out of shape. Cai Guobin seemed to be stupid. He couldn't cry or shed tears. He hugged his mother and said nothing.
No one knows what he is thinking.
Only Kong Xueyan was "devastated". If someone hadn't pulled her away, she would have gone with the old man.
Battalion Commander Shen and Chu Wensong are both here. The incident has already happened and the person is dead. It is such a hot day, so it is more important to deal with the aftermath first.
The two soldiers pulled Cai Guobin away. They had to wait for the other children to arrive, so they could only send him to the funeral parlor first.
After investigation, it was concluded that the old man went out at night, the light was not good, and he was not familiar with the environment, so he slipped and fell into the water and died.
Even if the troops are not responsible, they are responsible, even if the original intention of digging the wells was to facilitate watering the vegetable garden and washing clothes; even if the current battalion leaders were not in this position when the wells were dug.
After approval by superiors, the army paid 160 yuan for funeral expenses based on humanitarian considerations.
"Wen Song, do you think the old man slipped and fell into the water, or did he deliberately seek death?"
There are steps on the other side of the wellhead, but they are not flat ground. Anyone who can think about it will know that it is not a road or a passage.
"The person is dead, so there is no point in pursuing it. Whether it was a mistake or intentional, only the deceased knows."
"It's really unbelievable that a living person will disappear at the drop of a hat. Think about it, people are really fragile. They don't know what will happen tomorrow, and they have to work hard every day they live."
