For some reason, what appeared in Suxue's mind right now was Jia Rujin's innocent and cute little face.

Mr. Jia Dashan committed such a heinous crime, and as his sons, brother Jia Rujin could not escape the fate of being detained.

In any case, they were just innocent children, but in ancient times it wasn't just one person who committed a crime and the other who was responsible.

No matter how sad Suxue felt, the Jia brothers were just outsiders who had met a few times. What they were most anxious about now was to quickly get Sui Xin and Er Sheng out.

Si Sheng paid for the meal, and the others went straight to the unmarked compound without any further delay.

As we got closer and closer to the compound, there seemed to be more and more pedestrians on the street. Wang Zeran couldn't help but hold Suxue's hand tightly.

Si Sheng also sensed something was wrong. He took two steps quickly to catch up and took Suxue's other hand. He then slowed down and turned around to tell Zhang Laosan and Zhang Fu to follow closely so as not to be scattered by the crowd.

As soon as Si Sheng finished speaking, a trembling old woman didn't stop her legs and bumped into Suxue.

The old woman was about to fall down, but Wang Zeran hurriedly held her arm, causing the old woman to stumble and regain her balance.

Si Sheng hurriedly stroked Suxue's back and asked, "Does it hurt?" Suxue shook her head.

Si Sheng turned around and helped the old woman sit on the roadside with Wang Zeran, and asked: "Auntie, are you okay?"

The old woman didn't care to answer Si Sheng's words. She just pushed the old man who was following her and said, "Don't worry about me. Go find your grandson first."

The old man was a little slow. He stared at the old woman with his cloudy eyes for a long time, and then said blankly: "There are many people, let's go together."

The old woman couldn't sit still after hearing what the old man said, "Let's go together." But she tried hard for a long time but couldn't stand up, and she struggled so much that she started coughing.

Suxue suddenly felt unbearable when she saw the old woman with white hair and furrowed face, shaking her body and coughing hard, as if her lungs were about to be coughed out.

She quickly took out a small pottery bowl from her backpack. Wang Zeran, with quick eyesight and quick hands, took his own water bag and filled the bowl with water.

"Grandma, drink some water and press it down."

The old woman coughed so much that she couldn't speak. She took the bowl and drank most of it while holding her breath. Then she slowly stopped coughing, but she was still panting and couldn't calm down. "Thank you, girl."

Seeing this, Si Sheng said: "Auntie, you'd better rest before leaving."

The old woman nodded and handed the remaining half bowl of water to the old man, "You should also drink some water to moisten your throat."

Wang Zeran filled the bowl with water and said, "There is still a lot more, enough for you to drink."

Si Sheng squatted next to him and started talking to the two old people, "Uncle, aunt, where is your grandson? You are looking for him in such a hurry."

These words touched upon the sadness of the two old men.

It turns out that these two families live in a village outside the town. They have only one son and a grandson. The grandson is twelve years old this year.

Ten years ago, his son left for military service and never came back. The old couple, their daughter-in-law, and their grandson lived a tight life as a family of four.

A few months ago, my daughter-in-law brought her grandson to the town to offer incense. Unexpectedly, before reaching the Taoist temple, my grandson got lost on the street.

The villagers helped search for it for several days with no results. The daughter-in-law was so sad that she drank rat poison and committed suicide while no one was paying attention.

"If I hadn't still had thoughts in my heart, thinking that I must get my grandson back so that I can have an explanation when my son comes back, we, the old couple, wouldn't be alive."

The old woman used her sleeve to dip a little moisture from the corners of her eyes. Their tears had long since dried up.

"I heard from people in the town who were visiting relatives in the village that the government caught the kidnapper in the town, and we rushed here before we even had time to eat. We just want the government to help us ask the kidnapper to see if they have any

I have met my grandson."

The old man also said dryly: "If the grandson can be found, even if the son does not come back, the clan will be able to return our two acres of land, and we, the old couple, can keep it and live on."

After the grandson and daughter-in-law died one after another, the clan saw that the two elders had become destitute and could no longer do farm work, so they confiscated half of the land in their names.

The old man returned the bowl to Suxue, looked at the crowded crowd in front of him, and said, "There are many people, so we have to queue up."

The old woman explained to Si Sheng: "We just found out that anyone looking for a child has to go to the courtyard in front to ask. So many people go there, so we have to queue up quickly."

Suxue and Wang Zeran helped the old woman up. Zhao Laosan handed them two buns and said, "I'll give them to you to cushion your stomach."

These are the leftovers from the breakfast just now. Si Sheng gave them to Zhao Laosan. Zhao Laosan didn't want to finish them. He left two of them and put them in his arms. It seemed that he was going to take them back for his family to eat. He took them all now.

He came out and gave it to two old people.

The old couple rejected it for a few times, then gratefully accepted it.

Looking at the two staggering figures supporting each other, Si Sheng sighed, "Let's go there quickly."

There were indeed many people on the street. A few people had not gone very far when they were surrounded by a crowd and blocked the road, making it impossible to move forward.

Suxue and Wang Zeran looked at each other, took Si Sheng's hand and pushed their way into the crowd. They were both small and could sneak past the adults' legs while bending over.

Si Sheng turned around and was greeting Zhang Laosan and Zhang Fu. He was strongly pulled by Suxue and Wang Zeran, and he squeezed into the crowd while bumping into each other, leaving a burst of dissatisfied noise behind him.

In the middle of the crowd sat an old man with a red and black face, sobbing and crying to the crowd.

"Half a year ago, my eldest son and his mother took their daughter-in-law to beg for a son. They met Master Mingguang in a Taoist temple. He looked at my eldest son and told him that there was a bloody disaster and asked him to take money and come out to eliminate the disaster.

When his mother heard about the bloody disaster, she panicked and took out all the more than 100 yuan she had with her, which was money for the family to buy oil and salt.

Unexpectedly, Master Mingguang's apprentice said that the money was too little to eliminate the disaster.

My family had just married our second son, and we had no money at all. We had a lot of debts, and my mother and I really couldn’t come up with the money to solve the problem."

The old man wiped the tears and snot from his face with his skinny palms, crying "吭吭哧哧".

Someone nearby couldn't help but ask: "Has the bloody disaster disappeared later?"

"What happened down here? Master, don't cry. Tell the others what happened first."

The old man covered his eyes and cried: "My eldest son fell off the car on his way back from Guanli and died."

Most of the onlookers showed sympathy when they saw an old man crying like this in the street.

Someone asked in confusion: "Your son fell to death, didn't you just follow what Master Mingguang said about the bloody disaster? You didn't spend money to eliminate the disaster, so this disaster is inevitable."

When the old man heard this, he suddenly put down his hand, glared in the direction of the speaker and said: "This disaster is obviously a man-made disaster. My son said he fell to death, but there were marks on his neck.

He was strangled to death."

There was a sound of "Ah" from the crowd, and the old man said: "Someone in the village saw something happened and told us quietly as soon as he came back. The villager said that he saw people from the Taoist temple following my boss's car.

He went for a convenience on the way, and when he came back, he happened to see those people leaving my car. When the villagers came closer, they saw that my boss had fallen under the car and expired."

Someone asked: "Didn't your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go with your son to offer incense? Didn't they see it?"
