Chapter 34
The sad news brought by Father Wen cast a cloud over the Song family.

Dinner was already on the table, but no one moved chopsticks.

Mrs. Song cried hoarsely, Song Fang persuaded her mother, and secretly wiped her tears.

Father Wen no longer cared about cleaning up the yellow mud on his body, and squatted by the wall outside, with a worried face.

Wen Wan looked at Song Wei, and saw that he was frowning, his face was very ugly.

She felt very uncomfortable. She could clearly foresee that something would happen to her father-in-law.

Could it be that, except for herself and Song Wei, there is something bad about other people close to her, and she can't see it?
After a long while, Song Wei looked at Father Wen, "When father-in-law escaped, did the government officials at the mine retreat?"

Father Wen hurriedly said: "Not yet, I guess I was too scared. Someone should have gone back to report the letter. Now it's up to the government to give an explanation to the families of so many buried workers."

Song Wei couldn't sit still and stood up, "I'm going to Dahuan Mountain."

Without seeing his father's body with his own eyes, he couldn't accept the fact that his biological father was dead.

"Sanlang." Father Wen persuaded him, "It's still raining heavily outside now, the mine collapsed badly, there will be danger at any time, it's already getting late, we don't worry if you just go like this."

Song Wei turned his head and glanced at his mother.

Mrs. Song seemed to have aged dozens of years in just half an hour, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard. Sitting on the stool, she looked like a wooden sculpture of clay. When she heard the conversation between Song Wei and his father-in-law, she just opened her eyelids and said nothing. , It seems to have lost its soul.

Song Fang looked at Song Wei with tears in her eyes, "Third Brother, if you really want to go, let Second Brother accompany you, we don't worry if there are more than one person."

next door yard.

When Erlang's daughter-in-law heard that her father-in-law was gone, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Before her father-in-law went to the coal mine to earn money and didn't call Erlang, she even blamed her mother-in-law for this. She always complained about being a mother-in-law's black heart when she went out, and it was good to never think about their second wife.

Who would have expected that something would happen in just two months!

Just when Erlang's daughter-in-law didn't know whether to be glad that Erlang didn't go or sad that her father-in-law was gone, Song Erlang strode in and told her that he was going to accompany Song Wei to Dahuan Mountain.

Erlang's daughter-in-law immediately came to her senses and grabbed Song Erlang's hand to prevent him from leaving.

"What are you doing? Let go!" Song Erlang glanced at her.

"You can't go!" Erlang's daughter-in-law was determined, "Erlang, listen to me, Sanlang is an evil star, and the dumb daughter-in-law he just married is even a funeral star, and his father was killed by the two of them." Yes, if you walk out of this door today, I will be a widow tomorrow if you don’t make it together.”

In terms of other things, Song Erlang could tolerate his wife's misbehavior, but now that his father is gone, this woman is still cursing him with sarcastic words, and the anger in Song Erlang's heart rises to the top of his head, and he dumps her immediately The daughter-in-law slapped her across the face, "Tian Sufen, if you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will still slap you?"

Erlang's daughter-in-law was beaten up at first, but then she realized that she was even more angry than Song Erlang. She pushed him away, rushed out to close the door, locked it from the outside, and jammed a few thick wooden sticks by the window. He was determined not to let Song Erlang go out.

Song Erlang pushed the door and the door didn't move, and the window didn't open, so he could only scold his mother anxiously in the room.

-

Song Erlang couldn't go, no need to guess that it was the second sister-in-law's idea, Song Wei wasn't too surprised.

Father Wen was worried about Song Wei being alone, and asked Wen Wan to prepare an extra oil lamp, intending to accompany him.

Right now it is thundering and raining again, and it is still dark outside, Wen Wan is even more worried about Weng and his son-in-law, saying that she will go with her.

Song Wei was the first to disagree, "Wanwan, you stay at home and take care of your mother, and I can go with my father-in-law."

Wen Wan's face was full of anxiety.

My husband has an unlucky physique, the kind who can choke to death if he accidentally drinks cold water. If she doesn't follow, who knows what will happen in such bad weather?
However, in Song Wei's eyes, she is just a delicate little girl who needs to be carefully cared for. If he goes with her, he will take care of her too much. This way, the road will be even more difficult.

Wen Wan didn't care about anything else, she dragged Song Wei to the study, quickly studied the ink, picked up a pen and wrote on the straw paper: Take me, you are in danger, I can see it in advance.

Song Wei's eyes fell on the straw paper. Although the words were not neat, he could at least see which word read what at a glance.

But when put together, it's confusing.

As if worried about what she wrote wrong, Song Wei asked aloud: "If I am in danger, can you see it in advance?"

Ah!
Wen Wan nodded solemnly, her beautiful eyes were full of prayers, begging him to believe in herself.

Just as Wen Wan couldn't resist the charm of a mature man in Song Wei.

Every time Song Wei faced his little wife, his rock-solid resistance would decline.

So in the end, he just nodded.

Putting on the coir raincoat, Wen's father opened the way ahead, Song Wei lit up the lamp behind, and Weng and his son-in-law protected Wen Wan in the middle.

It is quite difficult to walk at night on rainy days. It was already late at night when we arrived at Dahuan Mountain, and the places illuminated by oil lamps were all rocks and soil clods washed away by the heavy rain. The traces of the original mining had long been buried. There is no shadow.

Seeing this, Father Wen couldn't help yelling, "The officials and those sons of bitches actually withdrew immediately, and didn't even think about digging them out. Once the night passed, the corpse would only be buried deeper and deeper. If you want to It might be difficult to find someone."

Song Wei looked at the dilapidated and tragic situation in front of him, his eyes were gloomy, and he walked around for a while. He had already determined that it was impossible to dig up these collapsed places and dig out his father's body with the strength of the three of them.

The fingers holding the oil lamp were clenched tightly, and the flickering light illuminated the hideous veins on the back of his hand.

Song Wei said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the county government to beat the drums to express my grievances."

Right now, that seems to be the only way to go.

The three returned without success.

When I got home, the lights were still on in the main room, and Mrs. Song and Song Fang, mother and daughter, were not asleep.

Hearing the sound of opening the door, Mrs. Song hurried out and asked, "Sanlang, what's going on, did you find your father?"

Song Wei pursed his lips tightly, shook his head for a moment.

Mrs. Song was trembling, with tears in her eyes, and her crying was intermittent because of her hoarse voice.

Song Wei looked at Song Fang, "Take mother back to her room to rest."

Song Fang looked helpless, if she could give it away, she would have done it long ago.

Such a big thing happened, let alone mother, she couldn't sleep by herself.

Song Wei rubbed his temples, and said to Wen Wan beside him, "Wan Wan, go back to sleep."

Wen Wan refuses, and insists on staying with Song Wei.

Song Wei couldn't persuade them, so they just sat there.

He refused to let his father-in-law work hard, and when the rooster crowed, Song Wei watched the rain stop outside, and persuaded Wen's father to go back, but Wen's father sat still and said that he would go to the county government office with him.

Song Wei said: "Father-in-law just came back from the mine yesterday and went straight to our house. Mother-in-law and brother-in-law must be very worried. You should go back and report that you are safe."

Father Wen sighed, told him to take care, got up and walked home.

Not in the mood to eat breakfast, Wen Wan washed her face with a basin of cold water and followed Song Wei to the county government to beat drums and complain.
