Chapter 985: Jin Gen Is Missing

She picked up a large bundle of firewood, put it at home, and went out again. These firewoods were all for the New Year. Changsheng's mother had to fry meatballs and fruits, so she would be very busy. It was also the first time for Yan Huan to celebrate the New Year in the village. In the past, everyone was also busy like this during the New Year, but they rarely had the time to do it themselves.

She and Changsheng's mother cooked the meat together, and fried the fruits. It must be said that it was good to have an extra helper, which made it much faster. In previous years, Changsheng's mother was busy alone. If she was busy, it would be too late to be busy at night.

This time, it was not even afternoon yet, and everything that could be prepared was ready. Now they were waiting for the New Year. Changsheng's mother also made meat dumplings. In fact, it was called meat dumplings, but there were more vegetables. There was no such a lot of meat for them to eat.

The people in the village could not eat meat for a few meals throughout the year, and only during the New Year could they taste some meat.

When it was just getting dark, the originally quiet village became unusually lively. In fact, it could be said to be lively because someone was crying and shouting at the entrance of the village, but no one knew what they were shouting about.

Changsheng's mother wiped her hands on her apron and went out to see what was happening. Yan Huan didn't have the habit of watching the excitement. She stayed in her room, sitting on the warm earthen kang, and was in a daze.

However, the noise outside was still very loud, and the shouting and cursing finally turned into dry howling.

When Changsheng's mother came back, the sound continued.

Changsheng's mother sighed, "Look at what's going on. Jin Gen went outside and hasn't come back yet. Jin Gen's mother is anxious."

"Oh..." Yan Huan didn't feel much when she heard the word Jin Gen. She didn't gloat over the misfortune, nor was she happy. Whether it was Jin Gen or Yin Gen, what did it have to do with her if it was lost?

Changsheng's mother sighed, "Oh, what a sin, a good person, if this is really lost, how can Jingen's mother live?"

Yan Huan just curled the corners of her lips coldly. How to live is other people's business, which has nothing to do with her. She admitted that she was cold-blooded, but she would not sympathize with her enemies.

She sympathized with them, but whether others really sympathized with her, and she did not need any sympathy.

Jingen's mother was crying and shouting outside. The villagers tried to persuade her at first, but in the end they could not persuade her. How could a living person be lost? Jingen's mother did not see Jingen all day, crying and begging the people in the village to help find Jingen. She was a woman, and she could not even go down the mountain.

But it was impossible to go down the mountain at this time. The villagers knew that it was dangerous to go down the mountain even during the day, let alone at night. No one was willing to take the risk. Besides, few people liked Jin Gen. Without him, the village would lose a disaster.

However, no matter what, they were all villagers, so although everyone didn't care, they said a few words behind his back, but no one said anything in front of Jin Gen's mother?

A villager took torches and flashlights and started looking for Jin Gen, thinking that Jin Gen might have come back a long time ago, and maybe he was stealing somewhere else, so he was not home yet, so he couldn't go down the mountain, but he could look around and there would be no danger. If he really couldn't find him, he would talk about going down the mountain tomorrow.

The whole village was busy all night, and they searched all night. They searched everywhere they could, and they searched everywhere they couldn't. Unless Jin Gen was still at the bottom of the mountain, or in the forest, otherwise, he would have been found long ago. Jin Gen's mother sat on the ground, slapping her thighs in the winter, crying from time to time, scolding Jin Gen's father and Jin Gen.

"Have you found it?" Changsheng's mother asked Changsheng in a low voice, "You've been searching all night, but you still can't find it?"

Changsheng shook his head, "No, maybe he's still at the bottom of the mountain, maybe he'll be back tomorrow morning."

"I hope so," Changsheng's mother was kind-hearted, thinking about the orphan and widow, if the son was lost, what would the old man do? She was putting herself in their shoes, but she forgot what Jin Gen's family had done.

Yan Huan was in her own room. She didn't discuss Jingen's affairs. She wasn't from this village either. So, except for Changsheng's mother and Changsheng, other people in this village were still strangers to her. She couldn't control whether they were dead or alive.

And the next day, Jingen still didn't come back.

The young people in the village, including Changsheng, went down the mountain to look for him. They didn't need to go down the mountain at first, but they had to go down again. Changsheng's mother was worried again, fearing that something had happened to Changsheng.

And when Changsheng and his friends came back last night, it was still the same. They didn't find Jingen. Jingen's mother slapped her legs and cried, but it was useless. If someone was lost, they were lost. If they couldn't find him, they couldn't find him. Of course, they were also glad in their hearts. Fortunately, the person who was lost was Jingen, not their own child. If they lost their own people, what would they do?

So, in the whole village, there are many people who have the same idea as Yan Huan.

This kind of unlearned person is lost, maybe it is lucky for the whole family, otherwise, who knows when he will steal again, let others be implicated, and then you can't live through the New Year.

Jingen has never come back, and Jingen's mother is crying bitterly, but no matter how much she cries, Jingen still doesn't come back. Jingen's mother seems to have a mental problem. When she sees people, she always asks if her son Jingen has come back. When she sees women in the village, she always says that they are fox spirits who have seduced her son Jingen away and Jingen has not returned home.

After a few times of this, no one in the village approached Jingen's mother anymore. Your son is lost, that is your own business, what does it have to do with others? You can't blame others for everything. Besides, with Jingen's temper, you don't know what he did outside and got beaten up. Maybe he will come back after the New Year.

However, because of Jingen's incident, the whole village did not have a good New Year. All they could hear all day was Jingen's mother's crying and howling. When she cried, the dogs in the village also followed her and barked desperately. The whole village was in turmoil.

"Come and eat dumplings."
