In the end, Jiangliu went back to his father’s hometown, Jiang Kun. In the name of his adoptive father, he set up a few banquets in the town to feast on his former fathers.

"Mammy, your dad is really bitter. Fortunately, I finally found you. Now that I have gone to the ground, I can tell your mother the good news."

Sitting next to the river was the oldest aunt who recognized him as a hairy egg. The woman in the country was bold, and after drinking a few sips, she poured out everything.

"How good your dad and your mom were. Your grandfather didn't look at your dad to jump on the gods and engage in that kind of crooked deception, but your mom just recognized your dad. Don't marry anything to the Jiang family. For this, you My grandfather and your mother had been together for three years, and it was not until you were born that the two started again."

Under the guidance of Jiang Liu, everyone chatted and talked about Jiang Kun and his wife Xu Feng.

Jiang Kun’s father was a blind man. He was also a famous “great god” in ten miles and eight towns. He relied on the ability of the blind old man to save a lot of money. Only a few years ago, feudal superstition was strictly prohibited. The old blind man was reported, not only his family’s property. Confiscated, the old blind man himself suffered a big crime in those years when he criticized the worst, and finally died because of a serious illness.

In those years, no one dared to have a relationship with people with bad composition. After the old blind man died, his wife ran away. At that time, Jiang Kun, who was only seven or eight years old, grew up by himself, or he went to the river to touch a little fish. Shrimp either went up the mountain to find wild vegetables and dig grass roots. After growing up, the influence of the Cultural Revolution also passed. He did not listen to the village elders’ opinions and went out to work, but regained his dad’s old skills. Fortune-telling and measuring feng shui for others.

It was just that Jiang Kun was still too young at that time. Not many people in the local area believed him, but instead gave him a nickname of liar Kun. In the eyes of many people, Jiang Kun is no different from the dead second-class eaters.

But Jiang Kun has an advantage, that is, he is handsome, tall, with big eyebrows and big eyes. When he smiles, he can get rid of the souls of those little wives and girls.

And he is particularly coaxing. Jiang Kun likes the girl from the Xu family in the village head. Xu Feng, who is known as a flower in the village, climbs the back wall of the Xu family every day. He sends wild flowers to the girl and saves money for the girl. Buy a headband and a small handkerchief.

I don’t know where I learned a few crooked poems, and I boldly sat on the wall of the Xu family and read them.

Old man Xu held a nail rake and didn't know how many times he drove this boy, so the girl Xu Feng who had been taken away was stopped.

It seems that I feel that I can't afford the happy life of the woman I like. Jiang Kun went out several times on the way. He is a person with real skills. There are a lot of new wave of self-employed people who believe in him. Jiang Kun has done a few business. He made money and returned to his hometown to build a new house and bought a motorcycle.

Today, many women in the village cannot forget that scene.

Jiang Kun was wearing a fashionable denim suit, sprayed a lot of mousse in his hair, and brushed his back to shine. The flies stopped on it were too slippery. The handsome boy rode a motorcycle and came to the Xu family with his guitar on his back. At the door, sang a small love song that was popular in Wandao and the fashionable young people in China secretly listened to with tape.

No one had seen such a scene in the closed village at that time. Coupled with Jiang Kun's handsome appearance, many young girls could not help marrying Xu Feng, let alone Xu Feng himself.

But the old Xu family is stubborn. He thinks that Jiang Kun is a stubborn person. When Bao Baoqi will be in trouble like his father, he is worried that his daughter will marry him. Even if Jiang Kun promises a lot of gifts, he still refuses to agree. .

Still Xu Feng was brave and took the burden to run to the Jiang family. Although the old man was angry, he cooked rice with rice, but he didn't do anything.

After marriage, the couple is very affectionate, and outsiders seem to have no serious work, but they can always bring money back after every trip to the home. In the third year, after the birth of their son's hairy egg, life is even more happy and sweet.

However, the good times are not long.

When Mao Dan was more than a year old, Jiang Kun went out to show an old customer Feng Shui, because the department store in the city was discounted and said that he had come to a batch of good fur coats in the northeast. Xu Feng wanted to buy one for her husband who was often away. A better piece of winter clothes, holding his one-year-old son, got on the bus to the city.

That night, the neighbors of the Jiang family saw that Xu Feng had not returned, only to realize that something seemed wrong, and quickly notified Xu Feng’s parents, and then a group of people hurried to the city.

During that time, Xu Fengna and Jiang Kun's good father did not forget to find a public phone booth to call the son-in-law and asked him to come back quickly.

A group of people searched for a day in the city, but did not find the shadow of Xu Feng. On the third day, Jiang Kun rushed back, and the public security found the Jiang family.

It turned out that Xu Feng had a car accident on the day when he went to the city with his son Mao egg. She was all entangled in the truck that was overloaded at the time, and the kind-hearted people on the side took her to the hospital because she couldn't find anything to prove. Her identity has never been able to contact her family in time.

Now that she was awake, the nurse in the hospital asked her address, and the policemen came over.

Jiang Kun rushed to the hospital to see his wife's first face. The other party asked him, what about their son's egg?

It turned out that the danger was coming. Xu Feng's first reaction was to throw his son out of his arms, and then he was entangled in by the truck.

It was also at this time that Jiang Kun learned that his baby son's hairy eggs were missing.

At that time, the situation was too complicated. All passers-by were busy to pick up the car at the first time and rescued Xu Feng. Where the child was and who was taken away by the chaos, every witness could speak.

In addition, there were not so many monitoring equipments on the roadside at that time. Three days passed, and even if the public security intervened, it would be difficult to find people.

Xu Feng, who had just disappeared, knew that the news of her son's disappearance would not work immediately. She cried and begged her husband to find their son's hairy egg. When she died, her eyes never closed.

A good home is so ruined.

The beloved wife passed away, the beloved son disappeared, and every night after that, Jiang Kun couldn’t sleep at night. He repeatedly tortured himself, why did he want to take over the business, why did he leave the house, and why did Xu Feng one People enter the city.

Since then, searching for the missing son Mao Dan has become Jiang Kun's only hope for survival.

The people in the village looked down on the young man who had always smiled boldly no matter how hard it used to be, and the young man who was not angry when he was called in front of the deceiver Kun fell down. At a good age, his hair is already gray.

At that time, the villagers still thought that no matter how great the pain will pass, after a few years, after Jiang Kun forgets this injury, he introduces him to an object, has a few children, some people die, but they can live Days still have to go on.

It was only in the fourth year after Xu Feng’s death, when the child was five years old, Jiang Kun stopped coming back. No one knew where he was going. He didn’t even need compensation for the demolition of the village. Jiang’s The old foundation was directly donated to the village committee. At that time, some people still thought that Jiang Kun might have died.

It was not until long ago that Jiangliu came back, and everyone knew that Jiang Kun was in the city, and he also found the son's hairy egg who hadn't been caught by anyone.

Among these village populations, Jiang Liu learned a different Jiang Kun.

In the mouth of Zhu Sandao, the beef noodle restaurant, the original adoptive father is a calm man, but in the description of the villagers, it turns out that the other party had such unruly youth.

All the turning points seemed to be in the accident more than 20 years ago.

*****

The river back to the incense shop brought a lot of rural local products warmly presented by the villagers, such as dried vegetables in their own homes, or salted duck eggs marinated by themselves, which are not expensive, but it is difficult to buy authentic and clean local products. .

In addition, there are a lot of sausages and live chickens and ducks, it is estimated that for a long time, Jiangliu does not need to go to the vegetable market to buy food.

He still had some gains on this day. Some guesses in Jiang Liu's mind had already formed, and now what he lacked was just a more reliable proof.

*****

"Are you really gone?"

In the middle of the night, Jiang Liu stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, looking at his face in the mirror and asked.

Two white candles were lit next to the mirror, which was the only light source in the bathroom.

"Perhaps, you are still here."

Jiang Liu raised his hand and pointed to his body. The people in the mirror were doing the same.

The next second, the candlelight goes out.
