Chapter 511: Mysterious Disappearance
Chapter 511: Mysterious Disappearance
Lin Yuzan's depression seemed to have a source. He stood up suddenly, with a face full of anger, and walked quickly to the window.
At that time, little Yining was completely unaware that the "danger" was right above his head, and he continued to shake his body happily, causing the stool he was standing on to creak. He complained about the little kid's mischief in an annoyed manner.
But after a moment, perhaps because she was playing too much and used too much force, she stumbled and lost her balance. She fell to the side unexpectedly, and the next moment, her body suddenly flew into the air and the scarf on her face was torn off.
Lin Yuzan looked at his daughter's playful smile and was about to raise his hand to beat her up when he heard her say in a soft and sweet voice: "Dad, Qingjie can find you even with her eyes blindfolded. We have a telepathic connection!"
The man's hand, raised high, suddenly froze in mid-air. Somehow, the image of his daughter wearing Buddhist clothing and accompanying him flashed through his mind.
His hands felt as if they were filled with thousands of pounds of molten iron and he could no longer swing them. The gloom in his heart was also inexplicably mostly dissipated.
Lin Yuzan slowly lowered his hand and lifted up his daughter's small body. Although he knew she had lied, his expression softened. He just scolded her unhappily, "Qing Jie'er, who told you to stand on the stool with your eyes covered and sway back and forth? What if you fall down?"
Little Yining closed her eyes and raised her head and said, "Dad said that if Qingjie doesn't want to see anyone, she should cover her eyes. Qingjie is still mad at her uncle."
"It's just a steamed bun for a day, but you've forgotten all the kindness your uncle has shown you in the past. You're such a heartless person." Lin Yuzan complained helplessly.
Lin - no conscience - Yining snorted proudly, then quietly opened one eye, then quickly closed it, muttering, "Qing Jie'er will remember the kindness of uncle later. He is busy cooking in the kitchen with mother."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuzan's expression suddenly became unnatural. He threw his daughter onto the bed in a panic and ran out in a hurry.
When little Yining opened her eyes again, she could only catch a glimpse of the corner of her father's clothes as he hurriedly left, and it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
But just a short while later, her mother was driven out of the kitchen by her father with kind words.
Xiao Yining: @( ̄- ̄)@, it turns out that in order to appease dad, mom only needs to cook a table of “love dishes” for him, and there is no need for her, the “movie queen”, to get involved.
In the end, this big meal to appease Lin Yuzan was cooked by him personally, and he only tasted a few bites before the rest of the dish was swept away by the playful children.
That night, the noisy Lin family finally returned to silence, and everyone fell asleep one after another.
Lin Yuzan gently picked up the quilt that had fallen off his daughter's body, and then stared out the window, enjoying this rare tranquility.
Soon, his back slowly leaned against a warm body, causing his heart to tremble slightly.
"Husband, are you thinking about what happened during the day?" Wan Niang's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
Lin Yuzan slightly turned his body and took his wife into his arms. "But did I bother you by getting up? You don't need to worry, I'm fine."
Wan Niang raised her eyes, and her gaze happened to meet his deep eyes. In an instant, strands of affection spread in the air.
She lowered her eyes shyly, leaned against the man's strong chest, and whispered softly: "In the past, my thoughts were always complicated, and I was stuck in them like I was in a quagmire, unable to extricate myself, and couldn't see clearly. Fortunately, now Sister Qing is by my side, and my husband is with me. I feel that everything in the past, except life and death, is nothing that I can't get over..."
Her voice gradually became lower and almost inaudible, as if it disappeared into the silent night. Lin Yuzan felt the tenderness in his heart, and all his worries and sorrows disappeared at this moment.
The soft moonlight shone through the wooden window onto the man's slightly trembling eyelashes, and he gently stroked his wife's cascading black hair with his hands.
After a long while, he finally sighed, his tone revealing relief and emotion: "It is the same for me, everything in the past is just a passing cloud!"
The moonlight was alluring, and the couple just hugged each other quietly. At this moment, their hearts were tightly pressed together without a trace of gap.
Just when everyone was enjoying this quiet moment, someone suddenly knocked on the Lin family's door. The knock was rapid, loud, and deafening, as if to wake up everyone in the Lin family.
Lin Yuzan couldn't help but frown slightly and stood up unhappily.
At the same time, the person at the door seemed to be getting more and more anxious because he didn't get the response he wanted. He stopped knocking on the door and shouted loudly: "Mr. Lin, the second elder is missing. The eldest elder asked me to look for you. Hurry up and go!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the people who were sleeping woke up instantly.
After Lin Yinhu and Pei Yi, the young men in the village once again organized to go up the mountain to search for people.
Gongs were struck, torches cleared the way, and dense flames gradually spread to all parts of the mountain. The village was also brightly lit, and voices of calling were heard one after another. Even Xiao Yining and other little kids joined the search team.
Lin Yuzan stood in the second clan elder's room, looking at the fragments on the ground with a serious expression. He had picked up the same fragments in this room in the morning. These were specially brought out by the second clan elder from the inner room to entertain him.
Behind me, there was a group of people whispering.
"It's really strange, how come Mr. Lin and his family have encountered so many problems just after returning."
This statement immediately received a lot of responses.
"That's right. This has happened so many times. In the past, no one has ever been lost in the village."
"It was because of the boy's search for someone that he was bitten so badly that he is not sure if he can recover."
"What a sin! I don't know where the elders of the second clan have gone. Don't let anything happen to them. They are too old to withstand any hardship."
"..."
The clan elder glanced at these gossiping women, and they immediately kept quiet.
Then, he looked at the gloomy man and asked, "Zan, someone saw you coming here last morning. Did you find anything unusual?"
Lin Yuzan shook his head slowly, but then said with certainty: "The second clan grandfather must have disappeared not long after I left."
The patriarch nodded slightly, the already deep wrinkles on his face now even tighter together, worry showing on his face.
He sighed deeply and said softly, "I didn't expect that even though we set up a checkpoint at the door, we still couldn't prevent it. Sigh..."
Lin Yuzan took a deep breath, suppressed his irritation, and said, "If he was from outside the village, why would he kidnap a fifty-year-old man? The grandfather of the second clan has always been taciturn and doesn't like to interact with others, let alone seek revenge. This matter is very strange!"
The elder of the clan thought this made sense, but then he began to speculate with worry, "Could it be that it was another unintentional mistake by those children?"
As soon as the words fell, bad speculations began to emerge in everyone's minds.
Lin Yinhu was abducted to the mountain yesterday, but the adults knew very well why the children did that. However, it was their own family affairs that were to blame, so they did not blame them too much.
But who could have expected that such a bizarre thing would happen again, and the two elders of the clan would disappear out of thin air in the village.
However, even more bizarre things are yet to come.
Just when everyone was anxiously waiting for a reply from the people in the mountain, even Xiao Yining and the others followed the village's searching team and returned to her father.
A young man ran over from a distance and shouted, "We found the second elder, we found him!"
When everyone heard this, they hurried over and heard the young man say, "The second elder of the clan fainted in front of Uncle Fushun's tomb."
Everyone:...
