Chapter 26 Tracking down clues
Yang Caiyue said: "The two of them have money, and they buy ready-made food and drink. However, the countryside at that time was not like now, there were no restaurants, so their food was very simple."
Zhou Xiaoyu asked: "Can they both know how to cook?"
Yang Caiyue said: "I don't know if it will be, anyway, I haven't seen the two of them having a business together. Once I happened to see him and his wife sitting in the yard eating, each with a cold steamed bun, and the dish was tofu dipped in soy sauce. It was too hard to eat, and I happened to cook a little more that day, so I took the initiative to give some of it to them."
"I didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to take the initiative to come to the door the next day and asked if I could help them cook, wash clothes, clean up the yard and so on in the future. They can give me money, three thousand a month."
"I was very surprised at the time. It was three thousand a month more than 20 years ago, but it was quite a lot. It happened that your uncle was sick at that time and couldn't go out to work. I was pregnant with Xiaoxuan again. I was worried that my family would not have any income, so I agreed. gone."
"In this way, our two families gradually became acquainted and became friends."
Ling Zhuangzhi answered: "Brother Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou don't talk much, but they are very easy-going. I asked them about their backgrounds, and they said they came from other places. They heard that Changhu Village has a good environment, fresh air, mountains and water, so they came here. They have been cultivating here for a while. The two of them have also heard about the rumors in the village, but they don’t care and just laugh it off.”
Ling Ruoxuan asked curiously: "Dad, what are they doing at home during the day? Do you know?"
Ling Zhuangzhi said: "At first I didn't know, but later I found out, the two of them didn't do anything, they just sit quietly every day."
Ling Ruoxuan was stunned: "Sit quietly?"
Ling Zhuangzhi said: "It's not sitting like us, but sitting cross-legged like monks and priests. There are posture requirements."
Ling Ruoxuan said: "Meditate? What's the use?"
Ling Zhuangzhi said: "I don't know either. Once I asked Brother Zhou curiously, but he just smiled and said that even if I told him, I didn't understand, so I wisely didn't ask again."
Zhou Xiaoyu said: "Do they both meditate every day?"
Ling Zhuangzhi said: "I didn't see doing anything else, but some villagers said that they saw them going out late at night, and then came back when it was dark. Occasionally, they would leave the village and come back in a few days. As for what to do What, no one knows."
Zhou Xiaoyu murmured: "So mysterious? They can't be secret agents, right?"
puff……
Ling Ruoxuan almost vomited: "You have a really rich imagination."
Ling Zhuangzhi said: "Brother Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou also know Chinese medicine, especially acupuncture and moxibustion. I was sick at that time, and my back hurt so badly that I couldn't work. I'm about to despair, Brother Zhou felt my pulse after he found out, and I'll be fine after a few needles."
Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly showed shock when he heard the words: "Uncle, what did you suffer from ankylosing spondylitis?"
Ling Zhuangzhi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, I wouldn't even remember it unless you said it, it's ankylosing spondylitis."
Zhou Xiaoyu's face was full of disbelief: "Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease. Even with the current medical technology, the disease can only be controlled, but it cannot be cured. Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion cannot cure it."
He is not a medical student, but he has used mind reading techniques to read the memories of many people before, so he knows this knowledge.
Ling Zhuangzhi was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Then I don't know, but I'm really healed, and I haven't relapsed again. Later, when I went to the city, I went to the third-level hospital for reexamination, and there was no problem. However, the level of medical treatment in the township was not good. High, misdiagnosis is also possible, I may just have an ordinary back pain."
Yang Caiyue said: "At that time, we were very grateful. We wanted to publicize it for Brother Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, but they seriously warned us not to spread the word, otherwise we would not have any contact with us, so we didn't say anything."
Zhou Xiaoyu nodded without saying a word.
Yang Caiyue said: "Later, when Xiaoxuan was more than one year old, sister-in-law Zhou became pregnant, but the two of them felt to me at the time that they didn't want a child. The pregnancy was an accident. Sister-in-law Zhou wanted to abort it, but we all persuaded her to give birth. She didn't hold on anymore."
"Not long after Xiaoyu was born, one night, when your uncle and I both fell asleep, elder brother Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou suddenly knocked on the door with Xiaoyu in his arms, saying that there was something urgent and he had to leave, and the child couldn't be taken away, and she wanted us to help He was a foster child, and then gave us both a large sum of money, saying it was child support.”
"We were very surprised at the time, but we agreed because we were grateful for the kindness of brother Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou. I asked them when they would come back, but they said no, then they left in a hurry and never came back again."
"After a few years like this, Changhu Village was developed in the city, and our family was demolished. Your uncle and I went to the city, bought a house with the demolition fee and the money from Brother Zhou and Sister Zhou, and started a laundry business until now."
Zhou Xiaoyu said: "It turns out that the two of them didn't disappear, but left and never came back."
Ling Zhuangzhi said: "Yes, so we didn't call the police at that time. At first we thought that brother Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou could come back, but they never did. Later, when we moved to Xingyang City, we also asked the old people who stayed behind in the village to come back. Help keep an eye out, but unfortunately there is no news. During the period, we also thought about looking for Brother Zhou and Sister-in-Law Zhou, but found that we knew nothing about them other than their names, so we had to give up."
Zhou Xiaoyu said: "So now there are no clues?"
Ling Zhuangzhi said: "Originally there was. The house rented by elder brother Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou in Changhu Village belonged to a distant relative of sister-in-law Zhou. After elder brother Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou left, that relative came back. I asked him The whereabouts of my eldest brother and sister-in-law Zhou, but that relative is a bad gambler with a bad character. He lied to me to inquire about the news and borrowed money from our family. At first I lent it to him, but later I found out that he used the money to gamble, and The news he said was all false, and your aunt and I were very angry when we found out, we had a big fight with him, and we stopped communicating."
Zhou Xiaoyu said: "No matter what, this is a clue. I will ask that relative when I have time."
Yang Caiyue's face was full of disgust: "That guy is a scoundrel, he lies and farts, and he doesn't tell the truth. Xiaoyu, you'd better not get in touch with him."
Zhou Xiaoyu smiled and said, "No matter how rascal you are, can you still compare to Lin Fei? Don't worry, auntie, I'm best at dealing with this kind of people. By the way, what's the name of that relative, and where can I find it?"
Ling Zhuangzhi said: "It's called Sun Dapeng. I heard that he later made a fortune and opened an underground casino in Changhu. Go and ask a local to find out."
Yang Caiyue muttered: "This kind of person can make a fortune, God really has no eyes."
Zhou Xiaoyu said: "I'll go there when I have time. It's the best if I can ask. If I can't ask, I'll treat it as fun. I haven't been to Changhu Lake since it was developed. I heard that the scenery is good."
Ling Zhuangzhi said: "It's very good, let's go and have fun."
