As soon as they saw the captain, Xiwazi and Lewazi couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears on the spot.
When he saw the two children crying, the captain also became anxious.
"What's wrong? What happened? Is someone bullying you? Tell me and I will teach him a lesson."
Xiwazi and Lewazi sobbed and shook their heads: "Grandpa Captain, no... no one bullied us, it was just Ermao and Xiaopang who entered Xishan."
"What!" The captain was stunned for a moment, then he plucked his ears in disbelief.
"What did you just say?"
Xiwazi rubbed her eyes which were red from crying and repeated what she just said.
The captain slapped his thigh and almost jumped up.
"Who allowed them to enter Xishan? Can anyone enter Xishan?"
Hearing that Zhang Yu had also followed him to Xishan, the captain became even more anxious.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Yu is the savior of their brigade. If something really happened, how would he explain it to Xie Hongguang?
At the moment, he couldn't care about anything else and rang the team bell directly.
When a group of adults learned that a child had entered Xishan, their first reaction was to look for their own children.
He was relieved to find his own child, and if he couldn't find it, he asked around, have you seen his child?
The group of people hurried to Xishan, fearing that if they were too late, the children would be in danger.
On the other side, Zhang Yu had already arrived at the foot of the Western Mountain when the two children ran to report the news.
During this time, adults were busy carrying water to water the fields and could not spare time, so there were not many people at the foot of the Western Mountain.
The children who can go to the foot of the west mountain to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood are much older than those on the other side of the hill. Most of them are already half-grown.
For these half-year-old children who already know the severity, adults are not so restrictive.
They also disliked the lack of harvest on the hillside and didn't want to compete with the little kids, so they came to the foot of the west mountain.
Zhang Yu didn't recognize them, but they recognized Zhang Yu at a glance and took the initiative to say hello to him.
"Uncle Xiaoyu!"
"Brother Xiaoyu!"
Seeing them, Zhang Yu asked directly: "Have you seen Er Mao and Xiao Pang today?"
Everyone else shook their heads, saying they didn't see it.
Only one of the girls named Cuihua thought for a moment and mustered up the courage to say, "I seem to have seen them."
"Then where did they go?" Zhang Yu asked eagerly.
Cuihua pointed in one of the directions, and then explained: "The two of them were digging wild vegetables in that area before, and they don't know where they went now."
Upon hearing this, a teenage boy in the crowd became a little anxious.
"Cuihua, why didn't you stop them?"
After being yelled at by him, Cuihua subconsciously took a step back, and the courage she finally mustered up disappeared again.
"I...I..."
The other kid couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him: "Da Mao, don't look for trouble. Don't you know what your brother's temper is like? Can Cuihua take care of it?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Cuihua, smiled and reassured: "Cuihua, don't be afraid, Da Mao is just too anxious and doesn't really want to yell at you."
Cuihua nodded, plucked up her courage again, and defended herself: "I told them not to let them go further in, not to let them enter the Western Mountain. Ermao also agreed, saying that he would dig some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.
I'll go back soon. I was in a hurry to collect firewood, so I didn't pay much attention to them after that. I... I thought they had gone back before."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts.
The ominous premonition in Zhang Yu's heart was deepened.
These two boys may have really entered Xishan.
When Da Mao on the side heard that his younger brother had entered the Western Mountain, he threw down the basket in his hand and rushed into the Western Mountain.
Zhang Yu quickly grabbed him and said, "What are you going to do?"
Da Mao struggled hard and wanted to run into Xishan: "Uncle Xiao Yu, don't stop me, I want to find my brother."
Zhang Yu pulled the man back and shouted in a low voice: "You don't want your life, you know where your brother is now! Just stay here and don't cause any more trouble. I have already sent someone to notify the captain and them.
The captain and others will be here soon, and after everyone has arrived, we can go into the mountains together to look for him."
Others were also startled by Da Mao's actions. After reacting, they also went over and grabbed Da Mao.
He advised: "Da Mao, it's too dangerous for you to go into Xishan like this. If something happens to you again, what do you want my uncle and the others to do?"
"Yes, Da Mao, Uncle Xiao Yu has already asked someone to notify the team leader. Please wait."
With the consolation of a group of children, Da Mao finally gave up going to Xishan.
His eyes were slightly red, with a look of self-blame: "You all blame me, you all blame me! It would have been nice if I had brought Ermao with me today. I shouldn't have complained that he ran slowly, I should have waited for him, if I had waited
If you wait for him, he won’t follow anyone into the Western Mountains.”
Looking at Da Mao, who was just about 10 years old, Zhang Yu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "I don't blame you, Er Mao will be fine!"
Da Mao's eyes were red and he looked at Zhang Yu expectantly: "Uncle Xiao Yu, will Er Mao really be okay?"
Zhang Yu nodded: "It will be fine!"
Zhang Yu's comfort had an effect. Da Mao wiped his tears with his sleeve and said angrily: "I shouldn't have let Er Mao and Xiao Pang get together. It's definitely not good for them to get together."
From Damao's mouth, Zhang Yu learned about the grievances and resentments of the two children over the years.
Speaking of which, these two children are also destined to live opposite each other and were born on the same day.
However, these fates did not make the relationship between the two children much better.
On the contrary, because of this, the two children have been in opposition since they were born.
No, this matter had already emerged before the two children were born.
The two women, who were facing each other and were pregnant at the same time, inadvertently created a contrast.
My mother-in-law treats me better, my man is by my side, I ate white noodles yesterday, I ate eggs this morning...
I won’t go into all the private comparisons and bickering during this period.
It was also a coincidence that the two pregnant women actually activated it at the same time.
There was only one midwife in the village, and the two families almost fought over her.
In the end, the little chubby grandma had the upper hand by virtue of her son's identity and dragged the midwife into her home first.
As a result, Er Mao Niang was not very happy.
It happened that the birth of Ermao Niang was not going well, so I felt that the little fat lady did it on purpose.
When the midwife decided that it would take a while for the little fat lady to give birth, she went to see Ermao Niang first. Ermao Niang was already showing signs of dystocia.
At that time, the midwife no longer cared about the little fat girl who was in better condition, and focused entirely on Er Mao Niang.
The little fat girl is the first born, and there is no midwife for the second time.
Although everyone said it was difficult for Ermao Niang to give birth, in the eyes of Little Fatty Niang, the other party was just pretending and was deliberately blocking the midwife from coming.
The two women now completely became enemies.
After the confinement period, the two women competed with their sons again.
Under such circumstances, the relationship between Xiaopang and Ermao is naturally not much better. It can be said to be quite complicated.
Ever since the two children became governors, they had been fighting frequently.
It can be said that as long as the two children are together, there will be no rest.
This time it was because the two children had a bet on who was stronger, so they ran into Xishan.
Zhang Yu had a headache. He looked down at Dahei who was following him closely. After thinking about it, he took out a piece of dried meat from the space and fed it to Dahei.
"Dahei, can you smell where Ermao and Xiaopang have gone?"
Dahei stood aside, looking at Zhang Yu quietly, his tail almost wagging to the sky, obviously intoxicated by the delicious taste of dried meat.
Zhang Yu slapped his forehead, with some annoyance on his face: "You said I was confused, no matter how smart you are, you are just a dog, how can you understand what people are saying?"
At this time, Zhang Yu did not see the cleverness in Dahei's eyes.
After realizing that Dahei was of little help to the matter, Zhang Yu walked inside to take a look.
Maybe those two boys have only gone a little further, and if you rush over at this time, you might be able to catch up with them.
Just when he was about to enter Xishan, the captain hurried over with a group of people.
His eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Yu: "Xiao Yu, have you seen those two brats?"
Zhang Yu shook his head and said his bad guess: "I asked just now. Someone saw them at the foot of Xishan Mountain. I'm afraid they really entered Xishan Mountain."
As soon as these words came out, the little fat mother-in-law who rushed over in a hurry didn't even take a breath, so she just pulled over.
The little chubby grandma even collapsed on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying bitterly.
Xiaopang is the only bloodline in their family. If something happens, how will she explain it to her son who is a soldier outside?
Why didn't she ask more questions today? Maybe she could stop her eldest grandson from entering Xishan.
It was all her negligence.
The more she thought about it, the more regretful she became. The little chubby girl raised her limp body and knelt down in front of the captain with a plop.
"Captain, captain, you must save our little fat boy!"
At this time, the little fat lady also woke up from being pinched. When she heard her mother-in-law's cry, she pushed away the person who was supporting her and knelt down towards the captain.
"Captain, our little fat boy, our little fat boy..."
The captain had a dark look on his face: "Get up, get up! I didn't say I wouldn't save you."
Not to mention that Xiaopang is also a family member of their family, just saying that Xiaopang's biological father is out there protecting the family and the country. He is in his thirties and even with Xiaopang's bloodline, he will not just sit idly by.
"Little fat grandma, get up quickly. What are you doing? Are you trying to shorten my life? Get up, get up!"
There are differences between men and women, so the captain could not easily pull the person up directly, so he could only wink at the wife on the side.
After receiving the signal, the brigade captain's wife called several women to help her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law up.
While advising: "Don't worry, the child will be fine."
"Dad, what should we do now?" the captain's eldest son approached him and asked in a low voice.
The captain rolled his eyes at the eldest son: "What else can we do? Go search it quickly. While the time for the two children to go in is still short, organize people to search for it."
The eldest son was not angry at all after being scolded by his own father. He kept nodding his head: "Okay, okay, I'll call someone right now."
The little fat grandma also woke up now and knew that it was useless to make such a fuss.
She managed to stand firm, wiped her tears, and scolded her crying daughter-in-law in a low voice: "Cry, cry, cry, what's the use of crying now? I told you a long time ago, let you look at your child."
Fatty, I want you to keep an eye on the chubby kid and prevent him from running around. It’s better for you, a grown man can’t even look after a child. What’s the use of marrying a wife like you? She can’t even look after a child!”
Speaking of this daughter-in-law, the little fat grandma felt dissatisfied.
She thinks that she is quite capable as a mother-in-law and is generous to her daughter-in-law's family.
The four festivals and six etiquettes are always observed, and the daughter-in-law is not prevented from subsidizing her parents' family.
Because my son rarely had the chance to come back, and the conditions where he was stationed were not good, he could not join the army.
The little chubby grandma feels that she owes her daughter-in-law a little, so she usually turns a blind eye to her daughter-in-law's behavior, as long as it is not too excessive, and pretends that she has not seen it.
As a mother-in-law, she did not hold on to all the money sent by her son every month. She always allocated part of it for her daughter-in-law to save.
Thinking that my daughter-in-law has money in her hands makes me feel more at ease.
The little chubby grandma felt that among the wives in the village, none had a better life than her daughter-in-law.
But she didn't understand. As a mother-in-law, she had already done this, so what else could a daughter-in-law be dissatisfied with?
What despises her the most is that this daughter-in-law always looks aggrieved and aggrieved. People who don’t know her would think that she, an “evil mother-in-law”, could bully her?
"Mom, I..." The little fat lady was choked and couldn't speak, and her face looked a little aggrieved.
She also doesn’t want her son to go to Xishan.
The children were already so big and their feet were already on his body. She said she wouldn't let them touch dangerous things, but she couldn't listen.
She felt a little uncomfortable today, and she was a little neglectful for a while. Who knew Xiaopang was so disobedient.
For a while, the little fat lady even complained about her son.
Seeing her acting like this again, the little chubby grandma's face darkened and she scolded: "Get out! Don't pretend to be here!"
After the little chubby grandma regained her senses, she begged the captain again: "Captain, you have to come forward in this matter..."
The captain nodded, and then said comfortingly: "Little fat grandma, don't worry, I'll take someone to find her right now."
He gritted his teeth as he spoke, as if he had made a decision.
He glanced at his son beside him and said, "Go and borrow your third uncle's guy and ask the militiamen from the team to come over with Mucang."
"Okay!" The captain's eldest son turned around and ran towards the village without any further hesitation.
During this period, Ermao's parents also heard the news and rushed over.
The captain didn't wait for Er Mao's parents to speak, and took the initiative to explain the current situation to them.
Compared to Xiaopang, Ermao's parents are a little calmer.
Everyone was silent, waiting to get their weapons.
After waiting for more than 10 minutes, the captain's eldest son came over with a wooden barn and three or four militiamen.
On the way here, several militiamen learned what had happened from the captain's eldest son.
After coming here, I was unambiguous and decided to go to Xishan to search.
When the militia captain in the team led a group of young people into Xishan, Zhang Yu also followed.
"Be careful!" the captain warned worriedly.
I don’t know how far the two children went in. Zhang Yu walked in for half an hour and found no one.
The militia captain's face became more and more serious.
