C20 A Strange Disappearance

The person who came was Mao Dazhi, the eldest nephew of the village chief. This guy had been looking forward to seeing his second uncle for the past few days. Why did he suddenly run over and say that the village chief had invited his second uncle over? One must know that in the past few years, because of our family's special relationship with the villagers, the village chief had always been indifferent to our family. Whenever he saw someone, he would call him uncle. He would nod his head and give an indifferent "hmm". This time, he actually used the word "please" for the first time.

"What happened?" I put down the work in my hands and asked Mao Dazhi.

Mao Dazhi stretched his neck and looked into the house as he asked me, "Where's your uncle? Quickly let him come with me. Qingzhi is missing!"

"Where did she go?" I asked indifferently.

Qingzhi was the village chief's daughter and also my classmate. That girl was beautiful, but she had a bad temper. Because her father was the village chief, she was a little bully when she was young. She often bullied other children of the same age. Later on, she entered a university. Although it was a third-rate university, it was one of the few university students in the village. Her eyes were so high that they were like the top of the sky. She acted arrogantly and did not even talk to me when she saw me.

However, that girl was dissolute. She had only been in university for half a year, but she had already hooked up with a male classmate. When her father found out, he immediately quit school and brought her home. Rumors in the village also spread that the real reason why she was brought back home by her father was that she had been pregnant after she and her boyfriend had stolen the forbidden fruit. She was expelled by the school.

However, I am not sure if the pregnancy is real or not. I only know that after he went home, his father started to arrange blind dates for her.

There was no boy in the village, only two girls. Qingzhi was the eldest and her sister was two years younger. The village chief and his wife were thinking about recruiting a son-in-law. When the time came, they would have a child in front of them.

Qingzhi was beautiful and her family was well-off. The people who came to propose marriage had already stepped over the door of her house. However, Qingzhi did not like anyone. She just liked a young man from the neighboring village.

It was strange. The young man was less than 1.7 meters tall. He was thin and small, and he had a face full of pockmarks. His family was poor, and his mother had died early. His parents had two old grandpas and grandmas who were weak and sick. His father had been working hard for the family, and his body had already collapsed. The young man was in his twenties, but his family did not even have a decent house. The three generations of the family lived in three shabby houses. No one knew why Qingzhi fell in love with him. Everyone said that Qingzhi was obsessed with him. Such a handsome young lady had fallen in love with such a short and poor boy.

The village chief also said that he would not agree to the marriage between his daughter and the young man, but Qingzhi was determined. She was determined to marry him. She secretly ran out to date the poor boy and stole the money from her family to treat her father's illness. The village chief almost died from anger because of this. In a fit of anger, he locked her in the house. At the same time, he asked people to find a wife for his daughter. He wanted to find a wife who was similar to her and marry her. He wanted her to give up on the poor boy. Two days ago, someone even joked about me. He told me to go to the village chief's house to propose marriage. Although I am poor, I have a good appearance. I want to slap that person twice. Am I the kind of man who relies on his face to live? If I could eat that bowl of rice, why would I stay at home and herd sheep?!

"If I know where she went, wouldn't I come looking for your second uncle?" Mao Dazhi stomped his feet and said.

"Maybe she ran away." I raised my eyebrows and said.

Mao Dazhi shook his head and said, "Impossible. My uncle has been sending people to keep an eye on that brat in the neighboring village. If he dares to take even half a step into our village, I'll break his three legs. Besides, Qingzhi has been locked in the house. The window is nailed, and there is no passageway in the house. My uncle and the others are always guarding at home every day. But Qingzhi disappeared in that kind of situation without anyone knowing!"

"This is a secret room disappearance." I muttered. At the same time, I was thinking, the door and windows were tightly closed, and there was someone guarding it. How did she leave?

I was pondering there, but Mao Dazhi could not wait any longer. He ran into the house and searched it from inside to outside. He ran out and said, "Where did your second uncle go?"

At this moment, I roughly knew why Mao Dazhi was looking for my second uncle. I said, "My second uncle can find corpses, but he can't find people. It's useless to look for him."

Mao Dazhi said, "Qingzhi might be gone."

Mao Dazhi's words shocked me. I asked, "Why do you say that?"

Mao Dazhi said, "When my uncle and the others found Qingzhi missing, they also found blood stains in her room. Combined with her disappearance, this matter is too strange. She might have met with an accident. However, before we have a result, we can't give up. Your second uncle can find corpses, and he should also be able to find people. My uncle wants to invite him to try."

I said, "That's really not a coincidence. Second Uncle is out on a long trip. I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."

"He's really a loser at such a crucial time." Hearing my words, Mao Dazhi muttered and turned around to run back.

"Huuu ~ ~ ~"

Just as Mao Dazhi ran to the door, I heard a "huff" sound from behind me. It was the Thief Cat. It had come out of Second Uncle's house at some point and was standing behind me. It stared at Mao Dazhi's back.

Seeing the Thief Cat, I suddenly remembered the words Second Uncle had left behind before he left. He said that if someone came to find his corpse, he would ask me to agree. Qingzhi had mysteriously disappeared, and no one knew whether she was dead or alive. Mao Dazhi came to Second Uncle's house to ask for his help to find her. Was this considered a search for a corpse or a person?

"Hey …" After thinking for a while, I shouted at Mao Dazhi's back.

Mao Dazhi turned around and looked at me with a confused expression.

I said, "How about this, I'll go with you to take a look. My uncle might be back soon."

"You? What can you do?" Mao Dazhi looked at me with a disdainful expression.

I looked at the Thief Cat. It had already walked to the door with an eager look on its face. I said to Mao Dazhi, "Some things are passed down from the ancestors. I can learn some things from Second Uncle."

Mao Dazhi looked at me suspiciously. Since he was not sure if I was telling the truth, he said, "Let's go."

I locked the door and brought the Thief Cat and Mao Dazhi to the village chief's house.

Just as I entered the village chief's house, I heard a low cry from inside the house. It was the voice of the village chief's wife. As she cried, she said, "I shouldn't have stopped her. I should have followed her to the village. At least there was still someone there. Now, I'm afraid that what that mister said back then is true …"

"How could it be so coincidental? That mister back then was just a liar. If I were to say it, Qingzhi's accident most likely has something to do with Jiang Huaili!" Another voice said.
