Qi Yun had rarely run in such a hurry, as if he was racing against time. The Regal Nightclub is located on a large area of original farmland, except for this splendid building, the surrounding ground has not even been able to do three links and one level, and there are even straws and roots of unknown crops that the previous owner did not have time to eradicate or burn, running and stumbling, fortunately, there are Hong Jian free a hand to help along the way.

A group of peasant-looking people gathered near the Regal Nightclub, squatting there in twos and threes, not knowing what to do. Although Qi Yun was curious, he thought that he was still tasked with rescuing Yuqin, so he had to turn a blind eye and walk by.

Walking to the door of the nightclub, Hong Jian pressed Qi Yun's arm and said, "We have the courage to break in and ask them for someone, there is no way to do it." But you're a girl, so it's better not to take that risk. You're waiting outside to answer me. “

Qi Yun is naturally reluctant to be the boss, but Hong Jian is also reasonable, with Hong Jian's taekwondo black belt, if the other party talks well, in case of a dispute, he will not be unable to deal with it. However, bringing Qi Yun with him will inevitably be restrained, which will increase the obstacles to the action.

So Qi Yun said:

"Okay, I'll go to a nearby highway and want to stop a car. After a while, you take Yuqin out, let's hurry up and get in the car to send her home, so as not to delay here for a long time and have any accidents. “

Hong Jian nodded in agreement, and the two acted separately. Qi Yun first went to a nearby national highway to stand for a long time, but it is located in a remote area, there are few vehicles in the past, and even if there are large trucks transporting coal and goods over long distances, it is naturally inconvenient to carry passengers. Qi Yun turned around without finding anything, saw the peasants gathered near the nightclub, and went up to talk to them.

Qi Yun learned a fluent Y County dialect when he was teaching in the countryside, and he still spoke it well after a few years. When the peasants saw that she was beautifully dressed and spoke the local dialect, they regarded her as a young lady from the countryside who had come to the city to dig gold, and their eyes were full of contempt and indignation.

A small man shouted: "It's because of you shameless women that you have built a nightclub, just let those rich men be chic, but pity us have no land, and our wives and children have to bare butts, freezing and starving to death, and no one cares!" ”

Qi Yun didn't explain, but just asked, "This nightclub is built on your arable land?" “

An older farmer with a stiff waist and a neatly dressed patched blue overalls said: "Since ancient times, farmers have been farming, and it is a matter of course. In the old society, although it was a bit hard to pay rent and farm the landlords' fields, there was still land to plant. The fields of the new society are the fields of the country, we are also the children and grandchildren of the country, and the responsibility of each household is assigned to us by the state. “

The other two men seemed to be very angry, and the corners of their mouths were foaming at the mouth: "Let your manager come out and speak, let your boss come out and talk, don't hide like a turtle son all day long!" “

Seeing that they were gearing up one by one, Qi Yun seemed to be ready to make a big move, thinking that if they made trouble at this time, it might not be good for Hong Jian to rescue Yuqin, so he had to control the situation first.

She coughed and cleared her throat and turned into Mandarin:

"Folks, I'll tell you the truth: I'm not working here either. Did you see the dark-skinned man who just went in? He's a reporter for a major national newspaper, and he and I are here to investigate these things, and when the investigation is clear, the government will naturally take charge of it for us -- but then again, now we all have to control our emotions, and we can't get angry for a while. But don't end up with a big loss, but let others seize the handle and sue us for ignoring it. ”

The fellows stared at Qi Yun in disbelief one by one, but listening to Qi Yun speak standard Mandarin like an announcer on TV news, and seeing that although this girl's face was painted like a cat and a green dog, when she said this, she faintly brought out a temperament that could not be played, which was definitely not what a laughing woman in a nightclub might have. They looked at me, I looked at you, whispered a few words to each other, and gradually believed.

After all, these people are rural people and have limited knowledge. As soon as I heard Qi Yun say that she was a reporter from a national newspaper, she immediately thought that she was a bodhisattva who rescued the suffering, and saw the old man in patched blue overalls urgently calling on everyone:

"This girl is no longer right, since ancient times, wine and wealth have been taboo for people, especially this angry and impulsive to do the wrong thing, the most important thing is - but, big reporter, we all point to this field to live, you must be the master for us!"

Qi Yun didn't dare to agree, so he had to say sincerely: "We'll do our best." ”

"This nightclub is so wicked! Not only did it ruin our family, but it also hurt a lot of girls like flowers and bones! The old man's tone was subdued, and he said a little desolately, "My eldest nephew's family is in Donglin Village, and a girl in their village is only 11 years old, so people tricked people into coming to this nightclub...... It's harmful, the girl can't think about it when she goes home, and her parents can't hold her head up, she swallowed a few pesticides to commit suicide, but she didn't die, but she blinded a pair of good eyes, and I heard that his parents couldn't do it, so they wanted to sell it to an old man in the mountains for 50 yuan as a daughter-in-law! ”

Qi Yun felt a pain in his heart and asked:

"Uncle, where is Donglin Village? Not far from here? ”

"It's not far, more than 20 miles from here, it's the most difficult place in our area, or I wouldn't have asked my 11-year-old girl to come out and find something to do."

After the old man finished speaking, he asked Qi Yun enthusiastically:

"You big reporter has to be careful when you enter this door. They heard that there are wolf dogs and thugs here, and it is great for reporters to write hyphenation articles, but they also have to be careful when they meet soldiers, and they can't be polite! ”

Qi Yun was also frightened in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at the door of the nightclub anxiously, Hong Jian hadn't come out yet. Qi Yun asked casually:

"Uncle, if you want to stop the car here, where do you want to stop it?"

The old man was very wise, and he suddenly came to his senses, pulled a chubby and honest man in the crowd, and commanded:

"Ershunzi, don't you have a farm car at home? I saw a reporter on TV making an unannounced visit, and after getting the evidence, I had to leave the accident site as soon as possible. You go home and get the car out, and you can see the two big reporters off in a moment. ”

The chubby and honest peasant resignedly agreed, turned around and trotted away. Qi Yun thanked him, but he was worried about whether there was still time. Fortunately, Hong Jian has not shown up yet, but does not showing up also mean that things are not going well for him inside? I don't know if he found Yuqin - if he didn't find it, Qi Yun didn't dare to think about it at all, hearing what the old man said just now about the poor girl in Donglin Village, Qi Yun was like a cold winter moon being thrown into ice water, soaked in cold from head to toe from the inside out.

Soon I heard the clatter of farm vehicles, and I saw the fat farmer driving the farm truck from the dirt road, bringing smoke and dust billowing all the way. The old man in blue overalls greeted him and instructed him to park the car on the side of the road dozens of meters away from them, the fat farmer stood there, so nervous that he couldn't help rubbing his hands, the old man reached out and slapped him on the back, asked him to squat down, and asked him to take out a cigarette bag and pot to smoke, pretending to be a passing vehicle, but his big bony eyes and the forehead lines that kept looking up and squeezing out a face exposed his heart, Qi Yun thought to himself, if the people in the nightclub happened to come out and saw it, it was estimated that he would think it was a snitch who came to step on it.

She couldn't help but want to laugh, but she couldn't laugh in a hurry. She didn't dare to let the villagers see her anxiety, fearing that it would make them more nervous, so she forced herself to adjust her breathing to be light and long, and then counted the breathing sounds: one, two, three......

Counting until three hundred and ninety-seven, I saw Hong Jian's figure striding out of the door of the nightclub, and he was followed by a slender and beautiful girl, who was it not Yuqin! Qi Yun was so excited that he stretched out his hand and waved at the Hong Arrow.

Yuqin first jumped in front of Qi Yun in a few steps like a deer, took Qi Yun's hand, and choked up half-aggrieved and half-coquettishly: "Teacher Qi......"

Qi Yun's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but hold Yuqin in her arms, her chin rested on Yuqin's smooth black hair, smelling her unique fragrance of a girl, and asked her:

"Yuqin, they didn't give you a grievance, did they?"

Yuqin also hugged Qi Yun and sobbed in a low voice:

"In the first few days, I was cleaning, serving tea and pouring water, although the foreman always scolded people, but I think this is how to make money, but it's nothing...... Then they sent me here, and they asked me, let me ...... I didn't agree, so they locked me up in a small dark room with no windows and didn't give me food...... If Uncle Hong hadn't picked me up today, I don't know what they would have done to make it difficult for me......"

Qi Yun was relieved when he heard that their treatment of Yuqin was only to close the black house and starve for food. And she was really stunned by the "Uncle Hong" blurted out by Yuqin, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth, and glanced at Hong Jian. stroked Yuqin's back and coaxed her:

"Don't be afraid, it's okay now, we'll send you home in a while."

The two of them took Yuqin and got into the farm car driven by the fat peasant, and Qi Yun asked Hong Jian while stepping into the car:

"Tell me, how did you get Yuqin out?"

Hong Jian said nonchalantly: "It's nothing. Said that I was a distant relative of the Yuqin family, and asked them for someone in the nightclub. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

Hong Jian smiled: "It can't be said to be simple. They looked at me like a city man who had read a book, and they didn't dare to force Yuqin to stay, but they also found a lot of excuses and asked me to collect liquidated damages, compensation or something, in short, they gave them thousands of yuan before they exchanged for Yuqin. ”

"Thousands? Yuqin didn't know if she had earned hundreds of yuan. Qi Yun said, "However, it's good that you two come out safely, I was worried that there would be a plot in a Hong Kong shootout movie just now." ”

After driving for a while, Qi Yun had been worried that these farmers would also count on Hong Jian and her as saviors, so he came to Hong Jian's side and whispered, telling Hong Jian in detail what he had just heard at the door of the nightclub.

Hong Jian listened silently, frowning and silent for a long time. Qi Yun didn't know what he was thinking, and after waiting for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore and bumped him with his elbow:

"What's the fuss? Let's send Yuqin to the county seat later, and then come back to find out the details, okay? Yuqin is a local native of the countryside, she knows how to transfer from the county seat back to the village, and we don't have to worry about it when we get to the county. ”

Hong Jian still didn't say a word, obviously in a solemn mood. Qi Yun asked twice, but when he saw that there was no response, he felt strange in his heart, but he didn't ask anymore, turned his head to Yuqin and asked about the situation in her home and village. Sure enough, since Fangqin's accident, Uncle Sanlai's family, who was already short of labor, dragged a crazy Fangqin again, and life was even more stretched. They allowed Yuqin to come to the county to work during the winter vacation, although they knew that it was not a good choice, but there was no way out.

The county seat is not big, and soon arrived at the long-distance bus station, Qi Yun put some change in Yuqin's pocket, gave her some instructions, and sent her into the station to take the bus. After settling Yuqin, the two sat down to eat at the oil-stained twist table in a snack bar on the side of the road, and discussed in a low voice what to do next.

Hong Jian looked at the endless crowd outside the window, and pretended to say casually:

"Xiaoyun, you said that the farmers gathered in front of the nightclub and demanded that the nightclub return their farmland...... Do you know what this means, if there is evidence? ”

Qi Yun bit the disposable chopsticks head, she bit for a long time, and there was a deep tooth mark on the bamboo chopsticks. Finally she looked up and said:

"Yes. This is ...... Bao Buqi also has something to do with my dad. ”

Hong Jian has always been a determined person. He rarely shy back when he encounters things, and the emotions of confusion seem to be insulated from him early on. This time, however, he was unprecedentedly uncertain.

"That'...... Do you still want to check? ”

He heard Qi Yun let out a faint sigh and slid over the rough and reflective tabletop,

"Anyway, even if I don't look it up, you'll check it out, won't you? Brother Aji. ”

Before Hong Jian could answer, he heard Qi Yun add another sentence:

"Did you see Fangqin? Yuqin is just a little bit like her sister...... Also, I heard that there is an 11-year-old girl in Donglin Village...... It's really a beast that can't do such a thing! Brother Arrow, I think whoever is involved in such a thing, then he will always be ...... It must be judged. ”

Hong Jian sighed and said uncertainly:

"There's no need to be too pessimistic...... Perhaps, the best protection is to find out the truth thoroughly. ”
