As night fell, the small village was silent, and people who had been busy all day fell asleep.

It was cold, and there were no entertainment activities. People rested earlier, and they had already entered a deep sleep at this moment.

An Zixi and Shao Jinyang both returned to Xiaoyaling Village and walked towards Lao Xia's house in the dark.

Both of them are Lianjiazi, their movements are light, but their speed is not slow, and they quickly touched Lao Xia's house.The gate is locked, there is a hut on the east side, and a lot of firewood and bricks are piled under the wall on the west side.The two ran a few steps on the top of the wall, picked a flat place in the yard and jumped down.

It landed silently, and even the big dog next door was not disturbed.

The two touched under the window all the way, An Zixi made a gesture, Shao Jinyang couldn't help frowning, but he still agreed.

The old-fashioned adobe house, the wooden door, the latch is easy to fiddle with.An Zixi carefully pushed the latch aside, made an OK gesture, and signaled Shao Jinyang to follow his footsteps.

The two quietly entered the house and pushed the latch back.

The people in the room were not disturbed at all, and they were still sleeping soundly. An Zixi quietly lifted the thick curtain of the east room, and saw two people lying on the kang in the room. A younger one should be the old man's son, about the same age as Lao Xia.

An Zixi asked Shao Jinyang to stay here, and went to another room by himself.

There were three women lying on the kang, one was older, probably the wife of the old man in the east room, and the other two were young women.

There are no valuable items in this house. There are two very old boxes on the kang, and a shelf is built with wooden boards on the ground. There are several grain bags and some sundries on it.

There were two old photo frames hanging on the wall, and there was a group photo of the big family inside. An Zixi saw Lao Xia's figure inside.

There are photos of him when he was in school, there is also a photo of him with his family when he was a teenager, and there is another photo, which seems to be taken after he joined the work, wearing glasses, and his face still has the youthfulness of young people.

An Zixi decided to wake up the two men in the east room first, women are usually less courageous, what should I do if I get scared.

She communicated with Shao Jinyang, and Shao Jinyang agreed with her plan.

"I'll go." An Zixi was about to go when he was pulled back by Shao Jinyang.

how?

An Zixi asked with his eyes, there is nothing wrong with doing this, right?

"You scare them so easily, what if there is a commotion? Let's find a way to cover their mouths, one by one, and then tell them their identities."

An Zixi thought it was a good idea, so he kept nodding and gave Shao Jinyang a thumbs up.

The two entered the room lightly, moved separately, saw the opportunity, and covered the mouths of the two lying on the kang.

"Well……"

"Well……"

The father and son of the Xia family woke up with a start at that time, and they reacted greatly. The two struggled and made quite a commotion.

An Zixi immediately whispered: "We are not bad people, we are here to save Xia Tian, ​​understand?"

The old man Xia and his eldest son looked at each other, and they didn't believe it. Before the two of them could react, An Zixi took out his Beijing Medical University student ID card and the photo taken with Xia Tian at the beginning of the semester, "This is mine. Student ID card, look at this photo, there is your son."

The lights in the room were dim, so An Zixi tugged on the light cord.

The dim light came on, illuminating the photo in An Zixi's hand.

When Old Man Xia saw the photo of his son, his eye circles turned red, and he nodded immediately, expressing his belief in An Zixi's and the others' identities.

Only then did An Zixi let go of his hand, and rubbed against the quilt in disgust.

Shao Jinyang pretended not to see, and hurriedly said: "Master, what happened at home, why..."

Before he could say anything, Mrs. Westinghouse came to find her. She felt light, and when she heard the movement in the east room, she wanted to come over to have a look. Unexpectedly, when she lifted the curtain, she found two strangers in the room. She was so frightened that she shouted out. He said, "Old man."

The aunt couldn't stand anymore, her face turned pale, and she barely held on to the door frame, so she didn't fall down.

"Old lady, it's okay, it's okay." Old man Xia hurriedly got off the ground, ignoring his shoes, and helped the aunt up, "This is our boss' student, and he is here to save him."

The aunt was still a little confused about the situation, but kept holding on to her wife tightly, and looked back and forth between An Zixi and Shao Jinyang.

"Ma'am, we are really old Xia students." An Zixi handed over the group photo again, "Look, this is how we got along when we started school."

Seeing the photo, the aunt finally stabilized her emotions. The old couple sat on the kang and asked in surprise, "Are you really here to save the boss?"

An Zixi nodded, "Auntie, can you tell us what happened at home? Why hasn't Lao Xia returned to school for so long."

Lao Xia?

The aunt looked at her wife, feeling a little uncertain.

The uncle and the aunt have lived together for most of their lives, so they naturally knew what the aunt meant, and quickly said: "You forgot, didn't the boss say before that his students are all about the same age as him, so they call him Lao Xia."

"Oh, yes, I remembered." The aunt sighed, then wiped her tears and said, "My child, I can't understand a word or two about our family's affairs. But you should go back, we can't Tired of you."

The old man Xia also meant the same thing, he wanted to take a sip of the dry cigarette, he stretched out his hand to touch it a few times before realizing that the stem of his cigarette was broken, so he could only sigh helplessly, "Go back, kids, you can't control our family affairs. Your aunt is right, I can’t implicate you.”

An Zixi looked at the young man beside him, "Tell me, what's going on?"

This young man should be Xia Tian's brother. He looks older than Xia Tian, ​​but Xia Tian has been studying and hasn't done much farm work since he was a child. It's normal for his face to be tender, so An Zixi guessed that he should be Xia Tian's younger brother.

Sure enough, the man said as soon as he opened his mouth: "My elder brother was arrested. Those beasts in the county said my elder brother was a dangerous person and took him to the county detention center."

An Zixi's head was full of black lines, "What you said is the result, what I want to ask is the cause, why Lao Xia was arrested, what happened in your family?"

Xia Tian's younger brother's eyes turned red, "There is an official in the county, who is a distant cousin of our village chief, he came to the village to visit relatives, who knew that he fell in love with my sister Xiaowen, and insisted on marrying Xiaowen, but that man All of them are over 40, and his son is one year older than Xiaowen..."

Beauty became the original sin, and Xia Xiaowen was only in junior high school, how could her family agree to marry her, let alone marry her to an old man in his 40s.The man failed to marry him, so he joined forces with the village chief to attack Xia's family.
