Chapter 341 (1/2)
”Please slow down. I'll give you fifty-five yuan.”
Yang Mu took his personal terminal and scanned the suspended taxi. Seeing that the payment was finished, the bareheaded driver immediately laughed. Then he got out of the car to help Yang Mu with his luggage. When he got to the back, he found that another young man in the car had taken the things down.
Yang Mu looked around at the green, and then looked at the neat little village not far away. He dragged his suitcase and walked there with Yunlong.
Yang Mu left sonai half a month ago, and then came to Richard's hometown with the bag of soil and temporary guard Yunlong.
Yuancuixing, a secondary livable star, is also an agricultural star.
Along the hard to see stone road under their feet, Yang Mu and Yunlong approached this place called Xiaohe village step by step.
In the surrounding green farmland, from time to time, there are suspended UAVs flying by, spraying out steam, and not far away in the boundless fields, there are families of agricultural mecha are busy, machinery and nature here, there is a kind of ingenious, unspeakable fusion. It brings a different atmosphere to the quiet countryside.
Both Yang Mu and Yunlong are wearing military uniforms at the moment, so when they arrive at the entrance of the village, they are surrounded by smart children. Some older people also come out from the surrounding areas, casting curious eyes at the two young people.
There are not many middle-aged workers in the village. After all, in this basically mechanized place, labor is the least needed resource. Most young people choose to go to big cities to live a better life.
Yang Mu walks in with a faint smile. The children around him are not afraid of life at all. They stare at Yang Mu and Yunlong with big eyes. Finally, they are attracted by the orange cat in Yunlong's arms, and they all surround the past with cheers.
At this time, several middle-aged people in their forties and fifties also came out of the village. Obviously, they recognized the clothes of Yang Mu's soldiers, and immediately came over.
”Comrade, do you have anything to do with your coming here?”
Yang Mu looked at the other party, and then took out his officer's card to show his identity. The other party obviously put down his guard, and immediately his smile also increased.
”Ha ha, I am the head of this village. You can tell me what you want. You can do it.” Yang Mu nodded and took out a picture of Richard from his body.
”Do you know this man?” Yang Mu handed the photo to him. The other side looked down and was stunned.
”Hiss, isn't this Richard? I went out decades ago and never came back. Do you want to find him? ” Yang Mu heard that the other party recognized Richard, and immediately shook his head with a smile, and then asked about Richard's presence here.
It turns out that the village head and Richard are about the same age. In the past, they used to play naked. But Richard's parents died in the fire because of a farm accident when he was a child. He was brought up by the people in the village. He joined the army when he was an adult, and he never came back here. There was no news.
Hearing the other party's explanation, Yang Mu finally determined that this was Richard's hometown, and immediately put away his smile, and his face became a little serious.
Looking at the young officer in front of him, the village head suddenly put his smile back on his face and asked, ”Sir, is there anything wrong with this?”
Yang Mu shook his head again, and then slowly said, ”no, I just came to inform a message.”
”Captain Richard, he died in a battle not long ago.”
As soon as the words came out, the adults standing around were stunned for a moment, and then some old people gathered around. Some even asked whether Yang Mu was Richard's son and whether he had come back to recognize his ancestors?
Yang Mu made some awkward explanations, and people realized that this was Richard's chief officer and that Richard had no children in his life.
When he heard this, the village head sighed and felt very sorry. For the villagers, the continuation of blood was a big thing, but Richard was just like this, and he was an only child. If there was no brother or sister in the family, the incense of the family would be broken.
The people around him also regretted for a while, while Yang Mu inquired about the burial place of Richard's parents.
The village head took Yang Mu with him, and Yunlong finally broke free from the children's bondage and quickly followed him.
Through the village and then across the farmland, the village head took Yang Mu to a small hillside. At the top of the hill, a stone tombstone was lying on the ground with the names of Richard's parents engraved on it.
