Tang Tang was shocked, and stared at the string of bloodstains.

However, Xu Changlin just shook his hand casually and wiped it on the leaves on the side, and the dark clothes suddenly left a large black trace. He said, "The wild dogs are coming." ”

Erhei suddenly jumped out behind him and shouted, "Ahhhh——!h ”

It rushed forward in terror, and in an instant it slammed into the dense bushes, tumbling and rolling twice before it got up on its legs in a daze.

This timid and stupid appearance made Tang Tang couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Xu Changlin's eyes were not on Erhei's body, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he swept the surrounding woods carefully, feeling the wind and grass, and asked Tang Tang, "Why are you alone?" ”

Tang Tang held the branch tightly, followed him, and replied quickly in a low voice, "I was sent here to check on it, why did the wild dogs appear again?" ”

As soon as he heard this question, Erhei didn't mention how aggrieved he was, "They are coming for me!" It showed her the tip of its tail that had been bitten off a small section of hair, "Hey, it must be that the old man is handsome, smart and martial, and he deliberately came to find the ballast!" ”

It said angrily, but Tang Tang inexplicably heard a little pride and smugness in its tone.

She: "......"

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Xu Changlin took the lead in raising his longbow and walked towards the other side of the forest, Tang Tang and Er Hei followed closely behind him. Just as he reached out to remove the drooping branches and luxuriant foliage, a sharp, glimmering dagger approached him.

Xu Changlin took a step back sharply, but fortunately, the other party also stopped in time. Lu Xiangyang brushed away the branches, suddenly saw his figure, and couldn't help but apologize: "I'm sorry." ”

Xu Changlin shook his head slightly, not taking it to heart. And Erhei, who was following him closely, suddenly stepped on his heel and tripped himself upside down.

"Phew!" It got up, spat out a mouthful of dirt, and complained again and again, "I almost scared the old man to death!" Why is there no sound at all? ”

Lu Xiangyang's eyes swept over a person and a dog, and when he saw Tang Tang behind him, he lowered the hand holding the dagger slightly, and the red blood stains splattered on the blade were immediately hidden in the darkness.

He turned around and walked towards the place where he had come from, and said to the two of them, "A wild dog attacked us just now, and you are not in danger, are you?" ”

Xu Changlin said: "I also met two, which are quite difficult. ”

Tang Tang also pursed his lips and shook his head slowly.

After a short time, he walked to the side of Pang Yingwu and Wang Min and others. They were disheveled, and Pang Yingwu's sleeves were torn open, but fortunately, no one was injured, and the two wild dog corpses lay quietly on the ground, motionless.

Wang Min and Sun Shuping both looked frightened, so pale that there was no blood, and when they saw Lu Xiangyang returning, they involuntarily stepped forward and approached him.

Xu Changlin glanced at the carcass of the wild dog, then got up and found some branches, tied them together with vines, made torches, and then stuffed a small handful of hay at one end and lit it with the flint and steel he carried with him.

As soon as the bright torch was lit, everyone's hearts couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The shadows of the dark mountains and trees put great pressure on them, and every slightest movement of the wind and grass could not stop making people's hearts tremble, lest some wild beast suddenly pounce out of the darkness.

It was only then that there was light, and they felt more and more that light was precious.

At that moment, Wang Min urged in horror: "Let's go back quickly!" ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Changlin shook his head slowly, and said, "You go first, there are still many villagers in the forest, I have to go and have a look." ”

His words made Wang Min's face turn red in an instant, and his embarrassed look rose. Because tonight's entry into the mountain was ordered by Cao Liqiang, and she was the supervisor of the scene!

Now the crowd was forced into the mountain by Cao Liqiang and her, but something happened, what face did she have to escape?

For a while, Wang Min's heart was in a dilemma, and she was entangled in every way, even though she knew that the most correct thing to do was to stay with Xu Changlin and look for the villagers scattered in the forest, but she faced the dead body of the wild dog on the ground, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes at all, she only hoped to escape as much as possible and leave here far away.

Her careful thinking seemed to be seen through by Xu Changlin at a glance, and he said with a light face: "You guys go, I can do it alone, but too many people will be a drag." ”

As soon as his words landed, Wang Min couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his knee-jerk reaction.

However, as soon as Erhei heard his words, he immediately hugged Tang Tang's thigh, hugged her side tightly and said, "I, I also want to go down the mountain!" It's horrible, I'm going home! ”

Everyone couldn't understand its words, but when they saw its movements, Pang Yingwu couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hey, what's going on with this dog in your house, you have a crush on Tang Tang?"

With his joke, the tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated a little, and everyone couldn't help but have a little smile on their faces.

And Erhei was even more confused, "The old man is wise and martial, how can he fall in love with her?" ¥%@#*......" The words behind it were covered by Tang Tang.

Seeing this, Xu Changlin also smiled and said, "Erhei wants to protect you, so it's okay for it to take you down the mountain together." It is usually the most alert, and when it sees a wild beast appear, it spreads its legs and runs, but if you follow it, you can avoid the wild dogs. ”

Erhei raised his head proudly, and shook Tang Tang's hand aside with a flick of his head. "Hahaha, do you hear that? Little ones, follow the master! ”

After listening to Xu Changlin's advice, Tang Tang and a group of people took torches and followed Er Hei down the mountain. One last glance she looked back, and saw the man walking alone into the darkness, his steps vigorous and powerful. The night, without a trace of light, seemed to him as comfortable as drinking water and eating, and disappeared into the woods in a few steps.

After they descended the mountain safely, they found that the situation was even more serious than they had imagined. The area near the ridge on the edge of the mountain forest was littered with wild dog carcasses, some of which had not even been killed with a single sword, and were gasping for a faint breath.

Blood has stained large swathes of the land red. Leaves, hair, and tattered clothes littered the floor, and the sound of clutching wounds and wailing came and went.

This purgatory-like scene deeply shocked everyone's hearts. Tang Tang and the others all came down from the city, and they didn't even kill a chicken on weekdays, where have they seen such a scene?

At the moment, many people's hearts have sunk to the bottom, as if they have pressed a boulder, but their hearts have already set off turbulent waves.

They walked quickly to the old captain's side, and saw him weaving through the crowd, bandaging the wounded in a superficial way. It's not that he doesn't want to bring everyone back to the village for treatment, but who knows how many wild dogs there are? Will they strike again when they are careless?

Therefore, tonight we had to arrange for these young men who were not too seriously injured and intact to stay close to the edge of the woods. And Niu Jianhua, the son of the old captain, is counting the number of people who have entered the mountain, preparing to lead the team to the mountain to find people.

When he saw them appear, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted him, saying, "Fortunately, you are back, and I am about to bring someone in to find you." Didn't get hurt, did you? ”

Lu Xiangyang shook his head, and Zhan Ran asked, "Everyone has come out?" ”

"Two more missing." The tall man frowned, but his eyes couldn't help but look over the mountains and forests. "I heard that they were chased by the wild dogs and ran away with the crowd."

Although he didn't say anything, everyone present immediately realized his unfinished meaning. In the face of the wild dog colony, I am afraid that these two people are more than lucky.

Suddenly, everyone's hearts sank. Wang Min couldn't raise his head even more disgracedly, and dodged to the side tightly.

But no matter what the result is, these two people are from Niujiatun after all, and they can't give up what they say. Niu Jianhua was counting the manpower and preparing to go into the mountain to look for it, when he suddenly saw Cao Liqiang running over from a distance, and shouted to stop a few people.

"What are you going to do? Put down your guns! Cao Liqiang shouted loudly.

However, all that looked back at him was undisguised hatred and disdain.

His heart trembled violently, his lips couldn't help but dry a little, and he instructed stubbornly: "Put down your guns, don't go into the mountain!" Do you want to cause something bigger? ”

Who knows, Niu Jianhua just gritted his teeth and said, "Go!" ”

A team of tall men immediately followed behind him without saying a word, and even Lu Xiangyang borrowed an axe and followed.

"Stop!" Cao Liqiang immediately went crazy, "You all stop me!" If you dare to go, I will report to the field department tomorrow! ”

No one in the huge field responded to him, and everyone looked at him coldly, jumped to his feet in anger, and walked away in anger, and spat at his back with the same hatred.

And Wang Min, who helped Cao Liqiang on weekdays, slipped away in the dark of night, not daring to appear in front of everyone.

No one had a good night's sleep that night. The people of Niujiatun spontaneously gathered on the ridge, waiting for Niu Jianhua and the others and the two missing people to return. Even some old people and children did not listen to the persuasion to go home to rest, and stayed up this slow long night together.

It wasn't until the east turned white and the sky showed a slight light that the search team, which had been tired all night, walked out of the mountains and forests with Xu Changlin. These men had haggard faces, blue eyes, and a pair of eyes full of red bloodshots, but their expressions revealed a trace of grief, which suddenly made people's hearts palpitate.

"Woo woo, Daningzi-"

"Ah Xiang! Ah Xiang—"

As soon as they saw the two stiff bodies being carried down the mountain by them, and lay motionless on the flat ground, the family members of the two men immediately cried bitterly, and threw themselves at the two of them.

The cry of sorrow immediately resounded through the field, and it was especially poignant in the silence of the morning. Even Tang Tang and Sun Shuping, who usually don't have much contact with these two families, couldn't help but redden.

On this day, all the people in Niujiatun did not work in the field facing the morning sun for the first time, and they helped to take care of the funeral of the two people together, and the whole village followed them to the north of the village for the funeral. Even a few wild dogs that had been hunted earlier were burned on the graves of the two to pay tribute to their spirits in the sky.

When they returned to the village, everyone's faces were tense and there was no expression at all.

In the final analysis, the culprit of this wild dog pack attacking again is Cao Liqiang. As soon as he arrived, he removed the rangers, giving the wild dogs a chance to recuperate and attack again. Later, in the middle of the night, he forced the whole village to go up the mountain to arrest people, so that everyone was unsuspecting and exposed to the hunt of wild dogs, which would cause such a tragic loss.

Such a big mistake, how could they not ask Cao Liqiang for guilt?

There was a hot-tempered one, who took the lead in breaking into Cao Liqiang's house, only to suddenly find that he was not in the house, and got up early in the morning and hurried to the field. Immediately, everyone was angered by his two-faced behavior.

There are even many people who shouted: "You can't talk nonsense by 'black-hearted Cao'!" Let's go to the field department to ask for justice! ”

"That's it! There are so many of us, we can't let him splash dirty water alone! ”

"Old captain, can you speak, do you want to go?"

The crowd was fierce, everyone's faces were stained with anger and grievances, the old captain looked at everyone silently for a while, and slowly said: "What are so many people doing, do you want to make trouble?" ”

A young man suddenly became anxious, "We're not afraid of making trouble!" He did it first! ”

"Yes, old captain, there is a lot of strength, let's go together, don't be afraid that the field leaders will not listen to our opinions!"

"Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to work together and be a witness?"

The old captain took a deep breath, his short body looked extremely thin beside the sturdy Niu Jianhua, but no one dared to underestimate him. He waved his hand and calmed everyone's feelings before he said steadily: "No, he doesn't deserve such a big face." ”

Everyone's hearts were suddenly very happy, and they saw the old captain call by name: "Huazi, go to set up the carriage, Daningzi and Ah Xiang's family will come with me." ”

The others couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "Old captain, take me, I can be a helper!" ”

"Take my child, he is tall and strong, and he can protect you!"

"And me! I went into the mountains and saw a pack of wild dogs with my own eyes, and I went to the field department with you to testify! ”

However, the old captain arranged the manpower and refused, "No, the big guy should go to the ground, don't delay this year's harvest, I promise to bring it back with all the mustaches and tails!" ”

After saying that, several people got into the carriage and were about to set off.

Xu Changlin grabbed the reins of the horse and said in a deep voice: "I'll go with you, after all, the matter started because of me." ”

The old captain pushed him in a sullen breath and scolded, "What are you going to do?" Hurry back to the mountains, don't mess with me! With that, he snatched the whip and shook it first, and the sound of the horse's hooves began to rattle.

Xu Changlin calmed his eyes, knowing that the old captain was a person with ideas, and it was not good to disrupt his arrangements at the moment and follow up to cause trouble. What's more, he did return a few days late from the mountain this time, and the family didn't know what it would be like to be in a hurry.

At that moment, he handwrote a note and prepared to hang it around Erhei's neck to send a letter home. Although this black dog is timid, he has a lot of skills to recognize the way and carry letters, and he will avoid danger from afar.

But he didn't expect that this time Erhei would shake his head and refuse to enter the mountain, screaming and fleeing in the village, and finally got into the empty stable, thinking that no one would be able to find it when he hid here.

The little milk cat lay next to the old dog, looking at the half-bald tail tip exposed in the straw pile, and couldn't help but laugh: "Coward! What do you want? Drop the chain at the critical moment! ”

Unconvinced, the black dog showed half of his head from the haystack and defended himself: "What does the unweaned baby know? How dangerous is it in the mountains now? As soon as the scattered wild dogs saw me, they had to rush up and skin me? ”

"Humph!" The little milk cat looked at it with big eyes, still disdainful, "After all, you are still timid!" Are you still a wolfdog? Uncle Sha is braver than you! It whimpered and killed a wild dog! ”

The little milk cat jumped up, flicked its tail and said proudly, admiring most of the scars on the old dog's body. "You see, this is the proof left by the fight with wild dogs, and men have to have a few scars like this!"

Erhei was choked by it and couldn't speak, stared at the old dog's scar with his eyes, and then couldn't help but retract his head back into the grass, "What is this?" I have seen a lot in the mountains with Changlin, tigers, wild wolves, snakes, which is not more dangerous than wild dogs? The lord just doesn't like to show off! ”

The little milk cat was so angry that she rushed up and scratched its paws, "What kind of big-tailed wolf?" When was it not Changlin who protected you? Don't you blush when you listen to what you say yourself? ”

"Wow, it hurts me!" Erhei covered the bridge of his nose and exclaimed in pain, "You look fierce, that looks like a cat?" Be careful not to marry a daughter-in-law in the future! ”

The little milk cat said angrily: "Lack of beating? Don't worry, if I don't clean you up, my Maomao's name will be written upside down! ”

Erhei was immediately scratched by it and couldn't open his eyes, and fled with his head in his arms, but he didn't expect to meet Xu Changlin who was looking for him. It immediately complained with tears in its eyes: "Changlin, you are here well! Find the crazy cat inside to deliver the letter, the tiger will tremble when he sees it, and promise to help you complete the task! ”

It "wooed" for a long time, only to suddenly realize that Xu Changlin hadn't noticed what it was saying at all. His hand was on top of its head, but his eyes were on the end of the road, where two carriages were slowly coming to a halt, and several people were coming down.

The old captain is impressive.

Are they back? You don't have to send a letter yourself? Erhei's head suddenly brightened, and he happily rushed to that place, and when he got closer, he heard the voices of several people.

"This is Niujiatun, now everyone is working in the field, and it will be half an hour later to get off work." The old captain introduced and helped the people in the car down one by one.

The few people who got out of the car were dressed quite extraordinarily, all of them were neat and ironed cadre uniforms, with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, which made people feel awe. The middle-aged man who took the lead continued his words: "Let's go around the village first, and then we will have a meeting in the evening." ”

"Done." The old captain agreed, turned around and said a few words to his son Niu Jianhua, and the tall and martial man immediately nodded silently and turned to leave.

The middle-aged man knew their plan at a glance, and hurriedly stopped: "Wait." ”

He asked his companions to bring a bag of food, "We have to stay here for a few days, and three meals are simple, just use this bag of rations." ”

"Who's the field chief?" The old captain immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, "Although our Niujiatun harvest is not good, we can still afford this meal, how can we use your own dry food?" Put it away! ”

"Listen to me." He Changchang insisted, and took the grain bag with his own hands and put it in Niu Jianhua's hands.

Seeing this, the old captain could only listen to his advice and let Niu Jianhua prepare. But in my heart, I think a little more highly of this field manager. He thought it would be another tough battle after he arrived at the department, because the previous time he went there made him bear a major demerit.

Unexpectedly, after the deputy field director He heard about this, he personally received them, sternly testified his statement with Cao Liqiang, and decided to take the investigation team down to find out the truth.

His actions were decisive and swift, and he immediately ordered people from all walks of life to set up an investigation team and led the team back to the village with him.

This kind of vigorous and resolute style made the old captain very unexpected, and he also had a little more hope in his heart. Immediately, it was decided to enthusiastically arrange all kinds of hospitality work, so as to win the favor of the investigation team and return Niujiatun's innocence.

That night, after everyone in the village had had dinner, each family sent a representative to Cao Liqiang's house for a meeting. In the interval between dinners, the news of the investigation team sent by the field department had already spread, and even the people who were eating in the cafeteria had already met with them face to face.

Seeing that these investigation teams also ate black flour cakes, drank vegetable soup, and pickles, no different from themselves, they were immediately quite curious.

So, as the crowd walked in and out of the room, and looked at the strangers seated above, all of them muttered in their hearts.

"Come, everyone, be quiet!" Seeing that the people were almost there, the old captain stood up and presided, "This is Deputy Director He of the Red Star Forest Farm, these two are comrades from the field department, and they are also members of the investigation team of this incident, everyone is welcome!" ”

"Bang Bang!" Immediately, the applause rang out sparsely, but there was not much enthusiasm or respect.

The old captain didn't hear it, and smiled at He Changchang: "Hechangchang, what can you say?" ”

"Okay." He Changchang did not twist, stood up generously, looked around with a rather majestic gaze, and then spoke, "Comrades, we are here this time to investigate the truth of the wild dog injury incident. ”

He went straight to the point and said it bluntly, but the audience exploded in an instant.

"What is there to investigate? Isn't that obvious? It's all made by 'Black-Hearted Cao'! ”

"yes, doesn't the field believe what we say? Inquire about the radius of thirty miles, who doesn't say that our Niujiatun people are solid-eyed! ”

"Hmph, just investigate us, why don't you see the investigation surnamed Cao? This is too uneven for a bowl of water, right? ”

For a while, there was everything in the crowd, and some peasant men frowned and stared at him directly, to see what kind of explanation and explanation he could give.

I saw that Chief He waited patiently for everyone to finish expressing their opinions, and then he spoke: "I know that you have a lot of things to say in your hearts, and I promise you that we will never wronged a good comrade, nor will we shield a bad comrade." Comrade Cao Liqiang has been suspended for the time being, and the field department will make a decision after the results of the investigation are out. ”

He glanced at everyone with a light smile, his eyes were bright and sincere, "Now, what we need most is everyone's cooperation. Find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, and give everyone an explanation as soon as possible! Good no good? ”

"Good!"

The crowd in the room suddenly erupted in a warm response, and everyone was enthusiastic by him, eager to find out the truth right now and give Cao Liqiang a ruthless result.

However, Tang Tang, who was listening outside the window, suddenly felt that this He Changchang was not simple, and in just a few words, he subdued the hearts of the people and instigated the feelings of the people in the village. This kind of means is not comparable to Cao Liqiang's goods.

She frowned and listened to it again before getting up and leaving.

As she expected, from the second day, the chief of He Chang, who had full affinity, led people to wander around the village, talking to people from house to house. There are more than 100 people in Niujiatun, less than 20 households, and it is fast to talk.

But He Changchang not only talked to the head of the household alone, but also did not let go of the children who were open-mouthed, and a piece of fruit candy lightly hooked up the heart-wrenching words in the stomachs of these dolls.

The members of the investigation team also went to the place where the wild dogs were fighting, and carefully examined the bloody dirt and messy blades of grass. Especially for the place where the two people were finally killed or injured in Niujiatun, he personally went into the mountain to check it, and when he came back, he wrote a thick pile of materials in the house.

This kind of style made Tang Tang's heart sink more and more. No matter how kind their attitudes were, and how gentle their smiles were when they talked to the villagers, she couldn't help but doubt their position.

Do they really make objective and fair assessments?

Tang Tang was heart-wrenching, and finally one day when the three of them went out to watch the scene together, she couldn't help but ask the little milk cat and the old dog to let her wind for herself, and she personally touched into the house where they lived.

It didn't matter if the door was locked, the little brother of the little milk cat, Ah Fei, came out of the house, opened the window from the house, and climbed in by stepping on the wall, carefully taking off her shoes to the window, leaving no trace of dust on the kang.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw a stack of manuscripts neatly stacked on the table. She walked over quickly and looked through it, and found that it recorded in detail everything the investigation team had learned in the past few days, even when it was, with whom it was talking, and what the specific content was, it was also very detailed and meticulous.

Tang Tang quickly flipped through the pages of the text and found that they were all investigation records and progress, but he didn't see anything abnormal. But what she wants is not this, but the final conclusive opinion, which will determine whether the investigation team will be on Cao Liqiang's side or Niujiatun's side.

She carefully placed the manuscript on the table and arranged it as it was, even the angle of the pen was carefully adjusted. Then, walking around the house, he began to look through their pile of clothes and luggage again.

I didn't expect to look around, but I still found nothing.

Seeing that time passed minute by minute, and he didn't know when the investigation team would come back, Tang Tang's heart couldn't help but become more and more anxious. She couldn't help but wonder with discouragement, could it be that the investigation team hadn't had time to summarize and make conclusions, so she couldn't find the paper materials?

When she was about to get up to leave, she noticed a pillow on the kang that was slightly higher, a few centimeters higher than the other two pillows. She immediately held her breath and carefully went over and picked it up.

Lifting the pillow, she found that there was nothing abnormal in the pillow, but a notebook was pressed under the kang mat, and it was difficult to find it without looking carefully. She hurried to open the notebook, only to see that there were some words recorded in it.

Some of the handwriting was sloppy and simple, apparently written in a hurry. There are also some careful strokes and traces, and several circles are drawn on the outside of the handwriting, which fully demonstrates the entanglement and uncertainty of the writer when writing.

Tang Tang hurriedly glanced at it, flipped to the end, and suddenly found such a few words on the cover of the book.

"The incident of wild dogs hurting people can basically be concluded to be true, and there is no doubt about the human and material evidence."

"Cao Liqiang must have been derelict in his duties, made wrong decisions in individual work, and mishandled his relations with the masses, and should bear some responsibility. But considering his young age and inexperience, it can be understood that the clerk is frizzy and inconsiderate. After all, young cadres still need time to grow. ”

"Niujiatun is united, protects the shortcomings, and is ironclad, and does not allow outsiders to interfere in village affairs, and does not allow too much intervention in the field department. Especially the captain Niu Hangen, who has taken root for many years, has accumulated great prestige, and the people in the village obey him, and the family is dominant, and there have been emerging problems in his thoughts, so he needs to be vigilant! Wary! ”

These two "vigilances", with the two heavy and deep exclamation marks at the end, suddenly hit Tang Tang's heart like a heavy hammer.

It is not difficult to see from these few short sentences that the position of the investigation team has completely shifted to Cao Liqiang, and how tolerant he is is to the people of Niujiatun. In the future, it will definitely make judgments that are unfavorable to the village.

She remembered this qi deeply, and put the book back in its place lightly, and was about to leave when the little milk cat suddenly jumped to the window and meowed at her: "Tang Tang, someone is coming!" ”

Tang Tang was startled, quickly got up and left, put down the window edge, let the vole Ah Fei buckle it to death, found a path by himself, and left quickly. Unbeknownst to her, another person came into the house after her.

After rushing back to the field, Tang Tang found that Sun Shuping was the only one, and Wang Min, Lu Xiangyang, Pang Yingwu and others were nowhere to be found. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where have they all gone?" ”

Sun Shuping's face was sweaty, and she replied: "Wang Min was called away by the investigation team, Lu Xiangyang and Pang Yingwu didn't know what to do, and they have been gone for a while. ”

Tang Tang was stunned, "Talking to Wang Min?" Did they look for you? ”

"I looked for it just now, and I asked a few questions." Sun Shuping lowered her head and rummaged the ground with a hoe.

Seeing her somewhat evasive look, Tang Tang's doubts in his heart were even worse. Sure enough, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Lu Xiangyang and the others had not come back, and the investigation team took the lead in finding her again.

She watched Wang Min pass by with an expressionless face, and her heart moved slightly, and she walked to the edge of the woods with a member of the investigation team. This place was so close to the place where the villagers and wild dogs had fought that night, and even the blood stains that seeped into the ground could be clearly seen with the eyes.

As soon as He Changchang saw her coming, he greeted her cordially. They just stood by the edge of the forest, neither holding a notebook and a pen in their hands, nor doing other movements, but all looked relaxed, not like an investigation and conversation at all, but like a simple chat.

But Tang Tang was quite vigilant in her heart, she smiled on her face, but her eyes swept around quietly.

"Comrade Xiao Tang, hello! Don't be nervous, let's just make small talk. He Changchang easily calmed a few words, and asked casually, "You are from City B, how long have you been in Niujiatun?" ”

"Three months." Tang Tang remembered it clearly.

"Is it bitter here? Can you still adapt? He Changchang looked concerned.

Tang Tang nodded and said: "We can adapt, the motherland sent us here to receive education and training, please rest assured that the organization will be able to complete this task well." ”

"Good!" After listening to her answer, He Changchang couldn't help but exclaim, "Look at you, a little comrade, your ideological consciousness is high!" ”

However, Tang Tang just smiled and accepted his compliment.

He Changchang groaned, and his tone was a little stricter, "Then what do you think of Niujiatun?" Do you think there is anything unusual about the people in the village? ”

Tang Tang's heart sank, knowing that the main event was coming. She thought for a few seconds and replied categorically: "The people in the village take good care of us, and they didn't find anything abnormal." ”

Hearing her words, He Changchang's eyes immediately deepened, and he stared at her inquiringly for a while. Seeing that her face was completely sincere and clear, she was not sure whether she was telling the truth or a lie for a while. He laughed and said, "That's not what other young people in the city said. ”

At present, the only people who have talked are Wang Min and Sun Shuping, Tang Tang doesn't know who he is referring to, or if he is deliberately deceiving his own words. However, she just smiled and said firmly: "I don't know what other people think, I am talking about what I see." ”

He Changchang was noncommittal, and seemingly inadvertently brought up the topic from another direction. "You guys have family leave every year, do you want to go back home?"

"Yes." Tang Tang said honestly.

When Changchang He heard this, the smile on his face couldn't help but increase a little, "The field department is also more considerate of you city children, and I want you to go back to reunite with your family more early." But the work in the village can't be thrown away, so some people have to sacrifice their family leave, stay here and continue to work, and only those who are good can go back. You understand what I'm talking about, right? ”

He clearly hinted that Tang Tang didn't understand? Don't want to tempt yourself to tell a lie with family leave? Thinking so in her heart, her face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said: "Chief He, don't worry, I will work hard, show myself well, strive to be recognized as soon as possible, and go home to visit relatives!" ”

He Changchang was so shocked by her innocent appearance that he couldn't speak, and could only continue to hint meaningfully: "I personally am very optimistic about you, but you have to show the table to the field department!" Don't worry about some things, just say them. ”

"What?" Tang Tang asked curiously, suddenly unable to understand what he meant, "Why don't you teach me how to say it?" ”

He Changchang's eyes suddenly deepened, stared at her for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "You little comrade, hey-" He shook his head and smiled, and asked her to leave.

Tang Tang said goodbye to them in a good voice, and when he returned to the ground, he saw Sun Shuping quietly looking at him. Lu Xiangyang and Pang Yingwu were also the next people to be called to talk, the two of them have always been free and easy, and they were called away with a smile, and when they came back, their faces were still uninhibited.

Pang Yingwu sat on the ground with a big grin and said: "Cut, I still want to take the words of the master, and I don't ask what kind of person the master is!" Just for those days of family leave? He thought he was a fart! ”

"Fatty!" Seeing that what he said was becoming more and more inappropriate, Lu Xiangyang suddenly gave a warning.

Pang Yingwu hummed and chirped two sentences at this time, and the silence was silenced. He rolled his eyes and turned to the other three young women, "Hey, what did you all say?" Didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, right? ”

However, their questioning of him fell silent together.

This made Pang Yingwu couldn't help but sneer, and stabbed in a strange tone, "Come on, visit ~ relatives ~ fake!" ”

The investigation team's policy of breaking down alone was quite effective, and the people's hearts in the village fluctuated for a while, and there were always people who could not hold on to the temptation of fame and fortune. The old captain secretly learned about this situation, and he was helpless.

What's more, when he got up early one morning, he also found two notes with different handwriting in his yard, which unanimously told the fact that the investigation team's conclusion was biased towards Cao Liqiang, which made his heart quite heavy.

The old captain became more and more dull, and he smoked a dry cigarette, and shrank in the corner of the courtyard and thought for a while, until the family came to call him breakfast, and his eyes refocused.

He called his eldest son Niu Jianhua over, hurriedly wrote a note and stuffed it to him, and gave him two instructions. Niu Jianhua didn't even have time to eat, so he took two cakes and left the village on horseback in the morning dew.

In the stable, the little milk cat came out from under the straw stack, looking like it had been woken up and drowsy, "Hmm, what are you doing so early?" ”

"Hey, here are my words!" Erhei jumped out of his head on the side, arguing with reason.

Unexpectedly, the little milk cat ignored it, stepped on its head and jumped over easily, ran to the old dog and begged for Shunmao: "Uncle Sha, I'm so sleepy, I'm so tired from running last night~"

The old dog lay down in the den, his eyes opened and closed quickly. It said indifferently: "Go to sleep." ”

The little milk cat was not satisfied with this answer, and just wanted to say something, but he didn't expect Erhei to scream: "Look at your squeamish appearance!" Master, I also ran once, why aren't you tired? ”

It was beaming, and the little milk cat immediately glared at it viciously, "Hmph, you deserve to be single!" ”

This sentence poked at Erhei's pain point in an instant, and it swooped out of the straw, and the grass spilled all over the ground, "Master, I don't want to find it!" No, I want to, I want to find! ”

"(ˉ▽ ̄~)cut~~"

When Tang Tang came in, she was confused to find that the little milk cat and Er Hei were in a mess again. She couldn't help but smile, took out the cakes she had saved for breakfast, broke them one by one and put them in front of the old dog, ready to reward the little guy who had worked hard last night.

"Wow, rice!" Ignoring the several claws on his head, Erhei stepped forward and pounced. Even the little milk cat that was grabbing its fur was shaken.

The little milk cat suddenly said urgently: "Stinky dog, don't rob it!" I'm looking for your father to ask for food, this is what Tang Tang gave me! ”

"Whoa-hee-" As soon as the strength of the Erhei foodie came up, where could he care about whose food, he had a big mouth, and immediately swallowed half of the cake.

No matter how big the little milk cat's mouth is, it doesn't move as fast as it moves, and it immediately meows in a hurry, "Badass!" Bad apple! ”

Seeing that they were eating lively, Tang Tang smiled and pushed the door and walked out, but he didn't expect to meet the same man.

He said, "Talk? ”

Tang Tang was distracted, got up and left with him.
