Chapter 76

When the first rooster crowed in the morning, the villagers of Xinxing Village had already gone to their respective fields holding hoes and sickles and other agricultural tools.

Nan Wangshu and Xue Wuyou got out of the car and walked towards the village. The villagers they met along the way all looked at them curiously. Nan Wangshu reached out to stop a woman holding a child and asked, "Hi, may I ask Yao Yueyue?" Where is your home?"

"Yao Yueyue?" The woman spoke fluent Mandarin, and looked at Nan Wangshu and the two vigilantly: "Who are you? What can I do with her?"

Xue Wuyou: "We are her colleagues. She hasn't come to work recently, and she can't be contacted by text or phone. We just said to come to her hometown to see if she is there."

"She's not here, and their whole family is not here. Let's go." The woman replied fiercely almost immediately. After she finished speaking, she looked around at the passing villagers and whispered in Nan Wangshu's ears: " This is not where you should be, go away!"

Not where we should be?
Nan Wangshu and Xue Wuyou looked at each other: "What do you mean?"

The woman wanted to say something, but a rough man with a beard suddenly appeared and pulled her hair back, and slapped her on the face: "What are you talking about? Your skin is itchy, right? Fuck you!" Let you go out for a few days and start being dishonest!"

The man speaks with a strong accent, and if you don't listen carefully, you don't know what he is talking about.

Nan Wangshu watched his rough kicking and beating movements, subconsciously rushed up to stop him: "What are you doing? She is still holding the baby, how can you hit her!"

"I'll hit myself..." The man shook off Nan Wangshu's hand, looked back, his voice paused, his greasy eyeballs rolled all over her and Xue Wuyou's body, With a grin showing a mouthful of yellow and black teeth, he smiled and said in Mandarin that he could understand: "What's the matter with the two girls coming to our place? I just heard you said that you are looking for someone?"

The woman got away from under the fists and feet, picked up the child in embarrassment and ran back, before running, she turned her head and looked at Nan Wangshu meaningfully.

Nan Wangshu sensed something was wrong right away, looked at the direction the woman was running away from, and took note of the approximate location.

"We're looking for Yao Yueyue," Xue Wuyou replied.

"Yao Yueyue." Hearing this name, the man felt a little troubled: "Their family's situation is complicated. If this is the case, I'll take you two to the village chief and ask him to take you there to tell you how the situation is going?"

Nan Wangshu nodded: "Okay, then I will trouble you."

The man threw away the hoe in his hand, and eagerly led the way: "No trouble, no trouble,"

Nan Wangshu and Xue Wuyou followed the man to the village. Along the way, the villagers passing by were mostly men in their 40s and [-]s. Women were rarely seen, and even children were basically boys. The gazes cast on them are not as if they are looking at a person, but as if they are looking at an object or something.

This feeling was so weird that Nan Wangshu suddenly had a bad thought in his mind. She touched Xue Wuyou with her hand, and Xue Wuyou turned her head to meet her eyes, and instantly understood her hint.

"You two are both college students, you look so pretty,"

The man turned around and asked as he led the way.

Nan Wangshu endured the discomfort in his heart and replied: "Well, yes."

After walking for about ten minutes, the man led them to a house under an old locust tree in the innermost part of the village. The house was a small bungalow with putty on the outer wall. Small five-star red flag.

"Village Chief, Village Chief!" The man stood at the door and shouted twice into the house. After a while, the sound of footsteps came from far and near. Leaning out of the door: "Mengzi, what happened early in the morning?"

The rough man called Mengzi pointed at Nan Wangshu and the two behind him and said: "Village chief, these two girls are friends of Yao Yueyue, and they said they came to find Yao Yueyue, and they are both college students!"

"Oh~" The small eyes behind the village chief's glasses looked at the two of them carefully, and he smiled friendlyly: "I see, you go to work first."

"Hey," Mengzi nodded, turned around and introduced to the two of them: "This is the village head of our village, you can just ask him about Yao Yueyue's family."

Xue Wuyou nodded: "Thank you."

"Hey," Mengzi looked at them with a smile, and walked back towards the path he came from. Just two steps away, the village head suddenly stopped him: "There is a lot of work in the field during this time. But come and find a few more people to help!"

Mengzi stood still and turned his head to look at the village head: "I know!" Then he turned and strode away.

As soon as Mengzi left, the village chief smiled and adjusted his glasses and walked out of the house: "Hello."

"Hello, village chief," Nan Wangshu smiled, "When we first entered the village, some villagers said that Yao Yueyue was not at home. Is it true? Where did she go?"

"Hey," the village head sighed, turned around and closed the door to signal Nan Wangshu and the others to follow him: "Actually, no, Yao Yueyue is at home, but she is already dead."

"Dead?" Nan Wangshu pretended to be shocked, and asked in disbelief, "How could it be? She was still working in our company two months ago."

"It's a long story," the village chief said as he walked, "I don't know what this girl went through outside. Two months ago, the police station in the city suddenly called her parents and said that Yao Yueyue had died. It seems that he committed suicide, and the old couple should be notified to claim the body."

Xue Wuyou: "Ah, this is too sudden, why did Yao Yueyue commit suicide?"

"I don't know," the three of them climbed up a dirt slope, and the village chief pointed to the only family on the dirt slope, "That's Yao Yueyue's home. After her parents brought the body back from the city, they didn't even have a funeral. The people in the village refused to tell them when they asked them. Their family is pitiful. They have Yao Yueyue, an only daughter who doesn't even have a son. In the words of our village, they are extinct. It’s hard to live without a household, and now that the only daughter is dead, the life of the old couple is even more difficult. The village even applied for subsidies to help them, but unfortunately the subsidies have not come down, and the old couple is gone.”

"Ah?! Her parents are also dead!"

Now, Nan Wangshu and Xue Wuyou were really shocked, they looked at each other and asked in unison, "How did you die?"

While talking, the three of them had arrived at Yao Yueyue's closed door, and the village chief pushed open the dusty door and stepped in: "Everyone in the village said that they couldn't bear the shock of Yao Yueyue's suicide, and they were beaten by Yao Yueyue's suicide." It's terrible, but I don't think it looks like it."
