Chapter Thirteen Surprise II
Asimo's words made my heart sink. I couldn't help but think of what Wang Zihua once said to me. He said that someone wanted to take him back, so he refused to go to the hospital because he couldn't ask more questions.
So I never took this matter to heart, but everything that happened now, plus what Asimo said just now, made me think of everything involuntarily. I grabbed Asimo's hand and anxiously
He asked loudly: "Do you know who they are? Tell me where they are?"
Asimo looked at me and said, "Tell me, did they take that girl because of you?"
I was surprised how Asimo knew about this. I never mentioned it in front of him. I nodded, expecting him to tell me who those people were, but Asimo didn't answer me directly.
Question, he was stunned and said: "There were a total of 236 people who moved out of Gexi Village back then, but now I am the only one left. There may be others, but no one dares to reveal their identity, just like you
My parents are the same (the old man has always said that I am a descendant of the Gexizhai people. I really can't explain this misunderstanding clearly, so I have to let it continue to exist). Do you know why?"
I shook my head. In fact, I don't want to know the reason now. I just want to know where these people took the scarred woman.
But Asimo ignored the impatience on my face and said, "There's no point in being anxious. It's you they're looking for. As long as you're still here, that girl will be fine."
When I think about it, it’s true. The most important thing is that I don’t know where to look for Scar Girl, nor how to save him. According to Asimo, the people who kidnapped Scar Girl and what happened in Gexi Village back then
It might be helpful to me to listen to him talk about this period of history, so Asimo and I found a place to sit down and continued to listen to him talk about that past event.
Under the leadership of Asimo, the people of Gexi Village came to the outside world from the mountains. Although they rarely had contact with outsiders, Asimo knew that if more than 0 strangers like him appeared in the same place at the same time, they would
In that special era, it was easy to get into serious trouble if you were not careful, so I found a place in the suburbs for everyone to rest first, and then I went into the city alone to find the relevant departments to prove my identity.
Although the people of Gexizhai had a small amount of contact with the outside world under the political situation at that time, and were educated and learned, the xenophobia in their nature made all political education ineffective, let alone such a conservative and backward place.
, even if they wanted to engage in any kind of movement, they couldn't do it. In the end, even the superiors just went through the motions and painted a few big characters on the wall to deal with it. Therefore, the outside world really didn't know much about Gexi Village, this turbulent place.
With the current situation, leaders come and go, and there may be new leaders who have never heard of Gexi Village, so Asimo's worries are not unnecessary.
Asimo was quite lucky. There was a leader who was one of the people who went to Gexizhai to participate in the movement. He knew how old-fashioned and conservative the people in Gexi Village were, so it was really a big surprise when he saw that the people in Gexi Village would take the initiative to go down the mountain.
He was surprised. Asimo did not dare to tell the truth to him. He only said that it was for the whole village to receive education and transformation. This answer satisfied the leader and encouraged them to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the tide of the proletarian cultural revolution. Asimo
Mo Zai nodded repeatedly and said yes.
In order to encourage and commend the ideological consciousness of the people in Gexizhai, the leaders also arranged a place for them in the suburbs. Although it was a bit small and there was no housing, and they had to build some simple wooden houses by themselves, Asimo was extremely satisfied.
More than 0 people still live together, just like the Gexi Village in the mountains.
Once you have a place to live, you have to think about how to survive. When you come to a new environment, the previous lifestyle of hunting and farming is no longer suitable to continue. Asimo is everywhere looking for a new way of life for everyone. Under his leadership
Under the care of the leaders, some young and middle-aged people gradually found jobs, and everyone seemed to have gradually forgotten the horrific things that happened in Gexi Village. Looking at this, Asimo was also very pleased.
Everything seemed to be getting further and further away from old Asimo's worries. Just when Asimo was gradually forgetting those words, something suddenly happened.
Although they have moved out of Gexi Village, everyone still adheres to the thousands of years of tradition and gathers around Asimo every evening to listen to him tell the various legends and life experiences of Gexi Village.
It is a cultural inheritance method unique to the Gexizhai people. It is through this method that we can find out who is the most suitable person to be Aximo among everyone.
On this day, Asimo was sitting in the middle of the venue. There were gradually more and more people around him. They lit some bonfires and gathered around Asimo to listen to his stories. Although many people had heard these stories many times,
But for the people of Gexizhai, they will never tire of hearing it, not to mention that they have all left the place where their ancestors lived. Listening to these familiar stories again is like a memory and commemoration of the past.
Asimo looked at the fires and his face reddened by the firelight, and his heart was filled with warmth. Old Asimo's worries finally passed. He was about to tell a story when suddenly several people rushed in.
When he saw Asimo, he grabbed his hand and knelt in front of him, crying loudly.
Everyone was startled by these people. Asimo quickly helped them up and asked what was going on. These people finally stopped crying and told the whole story intermittently. It turned out that their children had died during the day.
They were playing around, but did not come home for dinner at noon. At first, the adults thought that the children had played too much, but when they did not come back at night, the adults became anxious, so they called a few people to search together, but the children
It was as if he had disappeared out of nowhere and was never seen again.
Everyone immediately got up and took torches to find the children. Asimo asked a few questions and asked people to go in different directions to find the children. He went to the leader alone for help. Originally, he was not involved in this matter.
He would not go to the leader. The real reason that made him do this was because the two missing children often played with A Cai.
This discovery made Asimo's already relieved heart hang again. Faced with this problem that he was unable to solve, the only way he could think of now was to seek help from his superiors. This leader was known for his ability to mobilize Gexi Village
They were collectively relocated from the mountains to receive the education of the Cultural Revolution. Therefore, they had recently received a commendation from their superiors. When Asimo reported the situation, they immediately mobilized all their forces to collectively go out to search, saying that they must not let the proletarian brothers
Something happened to the children, and he swore to Asimo that with the power of the great unity of the proletariat and the sharp eyes of the masses, the children would be found.
Asimo couldn't tell him the ins and outs of the matter, so he could only hope that there would be more power in numbers. But after a few days, there was still no news at all, and the leader felt that there was no glory in his face, so he found Asimo and chatted.
After a few words, he said that a human trafficker who kidnapped and mutilated babies was caught here a few months ago. The implication was that the two children might have been abducted by the traffickers. The leader finally said a word of comfort: "
Not every human trafficker is as perverted as the one who was caught and likes to torture and kill children. As long as you stay alive, there will always be a chance to meet."
Asimo wanted to slap the leader at that time, but he finally endured it. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't know how to explain it to everyone when he returned to the village. What the old Asimo said gradually became clear again in his heart, and he was upset.
Confused and inexplicable fear in my heart, I didn't even think of going home until midnight.
The place that the leader arranged for the Gexizhai people was in a remote place on the outskirts, near the foot of the mountain. For the Gexizhai people who grew up in the mountains, this was far better than arranging a place for them in a busy city. Because
Near the foot of the mountain, there were many trees growing along the way. Flashlights were a rarity in that place at that time. One like Asimo was definitely not available or affordable. In addition, he was used to walking at night, so he did not light a torch.
I walked back full of thoughts.
There was a half-sized moon hanging in the sky that day, and the moonlight shone dimly on the road. It was also night, so I couldn't see anything clearly. When Asimo walked halfway, he suddenly heard something coming from the woods around him.
There was a burst of children's laughter. He was startled by the sudden laughter. He stopped and listened carefully, but found nothing.
Asimo shook his head, thinking that he must have been thinking about finding the child these days. His mind was tired, so he took a few steps forward and heard a few more children's laughter. This time Asimo
Mo must have heard clearly. Where could a child come from in such a wilderness in the middle of the night? All the hairs on Asimo's body stood up, and he shouted loudly: "Who is it?"
The laughter suddenly stopped. Asimo stood still and looked at the woods on both sides. There was nothing. He stayed there and waited. This time, the laughter did not appear again. He breathed a sigh of relief.
, walked a few steps forward, and suddenly a few more children's laughter came from behind. Asimo turned around suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat: two children in white clothes and white trousers stood in front of him, facing each other.
He kept laughing.
Asimo's scalp was numb. After what happened to A Cai and what he had experienced these days, he believed in the legend of Gexi Village to the bone. At this time, he saw two children wearing white clothes and white trousers in the middle of the night.
Smiling to myself in the wilderness, my first reaction was that Pahu had come to take revenge, and I had seen a ghost.
Asimo stood there, his legs unable to move forward. When the two children opposite him saw that Asimo had stopped moving, they stopped approaching him and stood opposite him, smiling non-stop.
After a few minutes, Asimo saw that nothing else happened. He gradually became bolder and took a few steps forward. Only then did he see clearly that these two children were the two missing people in the village. It was dark just now.
It was far away, and I had preconceived ideas in my mind, so I didn't see it clearly.
When he got closer, he realized that the two children had shaved their heads and looked dull. Asimo felt cold, knowing that they must have encountered the same accident as those hunters. He walked forward and saw
As expected, there was a dark green pattern on their heads. Asimo sighed and returned to the village with the two children.
Although he saw the child coming back, he became dementia-like. This immediately made the whole village nervous. Some old people could not help but kneel on the ground to pray for God's blessing. Asimo knew what was needed most at this time.
It was to comfort people, but there was really nothing he could do, so he had to ask the child's parents to take the child home and take good care of him.
I asked: "Is that man in gray here again?"
Asimo shook his head and said: "I don't know, but after a few days, the two children suddenly returned to normal. But they can't remember what happened in those days. As for where they played before they disappeared, and
I can’t even explain why my clothes were changed.”
Asimo continued to tell his story. Although these children could not remember anything, it was not that important to Asimo. He took this opportunity to preach that the great god had favored the people of Gexi Village again.
, drove away the demon Pahu.
Everyone was extremely happy, and some were even preparing to return to Gexi Village. At this moment, someone suddenly disappeared again. There were still no clues, but within a few days, the missing person would reappear.
, looking like a demented person, and returned to normal after a few days, but I just can’t remember what happened during the period.
Asimo gradually realized that something was wrong inside, as if something was about to happen. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to go to the leader for help. In order to save the people of Gexi Village, Asimo put things into perspective this time.
He told the leader everything he had gone through without any reservation. In his mind, this was an act of betrayal to Gexi Village. At that time, he was even prepared to commit suicide after the matter was settled to apologize.
After listening to Asimo's story, the leader waved his hand: "We, the proletarian warriors of the Communist Party, do not believe in ghosts and gods. You must receive a good education and cut off all the feudal dross."
Asimo nodded repeatedly and said yes. After the leader finished speaking, he put his hands on his hips and paced around the room with a frown on his face. He said, "But what you said about someone missing is not trivial. It is most likely that the imperialists killed us."
They are determined to destroy our great cause of socialist construction, so be it, this time I will personally lead people to investigate."
The leader did spend some money this time, bringing a few guns and a few police dogs borrowed from the military. These are extremely rare things in the local area. With these, the leader believes that this case will be solved.
, so I called a few people to squat in Gexi Village day and night, trying to find out the real culprit behind the missing people.
Perhaps because of the leader's presence here, nothing unusual happened for a long time. What's more, the missing people finally came back. Except for those days of dementia, everything else was as usual.
The same, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance. At this time, the leader suddenly disappeared.
On the day of the incident, the leader suddenly said that he was greedy and wanted to go up the mountain to hunt a wild boar or something for a tooth ceremony. It happened that there were not many people in the village that day. The leader said that he had also been in the army for several years and received strict training. In addition, he had a gun in his hand.
There were police dogs, and I also borrowed two hunting dogs from the village. There were no large beasts nearby, so there was absolutely no danger, so I went up the mountain alone, but he didn't come back until evening. Asimo launched all his weapons.
The villagers went to search, but only found the bodies of a few dogs on the mountain and a gun on the ground, but the leader had disappeared.
This matter was not trivial. Asimo did not dare to delay and reported it to the superiors overnight. The superiors immediately sealed off the entire mountain and found relevant people to inquire. However, several days passed and there was no trace of his whereabouts. In the end, the personnel had to be removed.
Cancelled and treated the matter as an unsolved case.
But more than a month later, the leader suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain. He was also wearing white clothes and pants, looking crazy, his hair was shaved, and there was an extra dark green pattern. Asimo immediately sent someone
He reported to his superiors and treated the leader well. In his heart, he hoped that a miracle would happen again and that the leader could return to his original appearance.
The leader was sent to the best hospital at the time, and he finally woke up two days later. Because the matter was so important, many important leaders were present at the time. Because the leader disappeared on the mountain, Asimo was also brought to the scene to take a look.
Is there any new discovery?
After the leader woke up, he did not suffer from amnesia like the people in Gexizhai, but he did not stay awake for long. He only had time to say two words before he went insane again, and it is the most difficult kind to recover from.
I couldn't help but ask: "What did he say? Is it Pahu again?"
Asimo shook his head and said, "None of us know what he meant."
I asked: "What exactly did you say?"
Chapter completed!
