The next day began with a rapid knock on the door, Zhang Yang opened his eyes, it was still dark outside the window, Jiang Liang was wrapped in a quilt and curled up, he did not have a flamboyant super physique. I heard Zhou Shanhu's voice in the hall: "Who?" It's in the middle of the night! ”

A hurried voice said, "Huzi, you come out, I have to ask you something." ”

Zhou Shanhu was stunned, he heard from the voice that it was Chen Aiguo, the principal of Shiwa Primary School, who got up and opened the door, Chen Aiguo stood outside the door in the snow, his eyebrows and beard were all dyed with snowflakes.

Zhou Shanhu hurriedly said, "Principal Chen, please sit inside!" ”

When Zhang Yang heard that Chen Aiguo was coming, he also got up from the bed and went out to see what was going on.

Chen Aiguo didn't mean to enter the door, stood at the door and said: "Huzi, Master Jishan is injured and lying in the temple, the condition is very serious, I want you to help me and send him to the hospital." ”

Zhou Shanhu immediately remembered that he had collided with someone on the mountain road in the afternoon, and he was a little annoyed: "I should have thought of it, those thieves stole so many things, I should have thought of going to the temple to have a look." ”

Chen Aiguo was surprised: "Do you know about this? ”

Zhou Shanhu said: "It's a long story, Principal Chen, you wait for me, I'll go with you to take a look." He turned to get his clothes.

Chen Aiguo nodded.

Zhang Yang also got dressed: "I'll go with you too." ”

Chen Aiguo glanced at him, didn't speak, and said in a low voice: "We have to hurry, the mountain road is difficult, and we have to walk for more than an hour." ”

Jiang Liang also heard the movement, but he was so tired that he said weakly inside: "Zhang Yang, I'm not going, I really can't walk." ”

Zhang Yang said: "You wait here, just the three of us go and take a look." ”

Chen Aiguo led the way in front, Zhou Shanhu walked behind, he was afraid that Zhang Yang was not familiar with the road and there was a problem on the way, but he soon found that Zhang Yang was walking like flying, and he was more adaptable to the mountain road than a native of the mountains, Zhou Shanhu smiled: "Big brother, you are also from the mountains, and you often walk on mountain roads?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "I have worked in Montenegro for a period of time, and I am also in this Qingtai Mountain, but I am in Shandong, and you are in Shanxi." ”

Zhou Shanhu said: "Just look at your walking, you know that without the experience of living in the mountains, it is impossible to walk so fast." ”

Zhang Daguan laughed secretly in his heart, he hadn't shown his true strength yet, if he showed his kung fu of stepping on the snow without a trace, he was afraid that he would be stunned by these people.

Chen Aiguo didn't speak, and strode ahead with a flashlight.

Zhang Yang deliberately approached him, and followed his footsteps closely: "Principal Chen, is that Jishan Master seriously injured?" ”

Chen Aiguo said in a low voice: "My head was smashed, I bled a lot, I fell down the steps in the resistance, my right leg seems to be broken, I think I have to send him to the hospital today, I can't move him alone, I can only ask you for help." He remembered Zhou Shanhu's words just now, turned to Zhou Shanhu and said, "Huzi, what did you just say?" ”

Zhou Shanhu then told the experience of encountering thieves in the afternoon, and he regretted it: "I thought that the police who sent the police to the station would go to Xishan Temple to investigate, but I didn't expect them to go." ”

Zhang Yang said: "It must have been that the snow was too big, and their car didn't dare to enter the mountain." He has long known the efficiency of police and detectives. In fact, he also saw the situation today, they drove to Xiaoshiwa, and they relied on two people to take turns to lead the way and command all the way, and they really didn't dare to drive into the mountain if they were replaced by others.

Chen Aiguo said indignantly: "If such a big thing happens, I don't go to investigate, these people are all eating rice!" ”

Zhou Shanhu said: "Why did Principal Chen go to Xishan Temple?" ”

Chen Aiguo said: "I took some sweet potatoes and sent them to him, but I didn't expect to see him lying in a pool of blood, but fortunately there was a breath, I made a quilt for him to cover, and made a fire next to him, so I came to ask you for help." ”

As they talked, the snow was much lighter, turning from goose feathers to fine powder, like a white face falling from the sky, and it seemed that the snow would not last long.

Xishan Temple is located on the peak of the north of Shiwa Primary School, the peak is not high, but the road is very difficult, they walked for more than an hour to come to the temple gate of Xishan Temple. Master Jishan was lying in the main hall, wrapped in two quilts, and Chen Aiguo lit a fire for him when he left, and now it is almost burned out.

When Zhang Yang saw Master Jishan, he understood why Chen Aiguo couldn't get him down the mountain, this old monk was tall and fat, at least more than 180 pounds, he really couldn't figure out how he could grow so much fat after eating fasting and chanting Buddha.

Half of Master Jishan's face was stained red with blood, and his head was smashed, but now the bleeding has stopped, and what is really serious is his right leg, seeing Chen Aiguo coming with two young people, Jishan showed a smile on his face: "Coming...... The temple was stolen. ”

Zhou Shanhu stepped forward and grabbed Jishan's shoulder and said, "Master Jishan, don't worry, the thieves have all been caught by the people from the township faction, and they have been stolen, and it won't be long before they will send the lost property back." ”

Chen Aiguo said: "We have to send Master Jishan to the hospital quickly, and let's use the door panel to carry him down." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Let me take a look first!" He came to Jishan's side, lifted the quilt, looked at Jishan's right leg, and said, "Huzi, help me find some straight sticks and planks, I will help Master Jishan reinstate, and I don't need to go to the hospital so troublesomely." He pinched Jishan's right leg and smiled, "Master, does your headache hurt?" ”

Ji Shan shook his head, and before he could react to what was going on, he only felt a sharp pain in his right leg, and he screamed in pain, but it was Zhang Yang who took advantage of his attention shift to help him reset his right leg like lightning.

Although Chen Aiguo didn't know medical skills, he had already guessed that this young man was a hidden doctor when he saw Zhang Yang's skillful methods. Zhang Yang used the wooden board brought by Zhou Shanhu to act as a splint to fix Jishan's right leg, and then took out the golden medicine he had with him to treat the wound on his head for Jishan.

After dealing with it, several of them carried Jishan to the meditation room with a door panel.

When Jishan heard that the stolen things had been found, he also put down a big stone in his heart.

After settling down Master Jishan, it was already six o'clock in the morning, the sky had not yet dawned, the snow outside had completely stopped, and Zhang Yang came to Chen Aiguo's side to stop talking.

Chen Aiguo knew what he wanted to ask, and said in a low voice: "That photo was taken in 66, when a total of 27 people came to Lujialiang to cut the line, the photo you saw was taken in front of the township government, and there were a total of eight people who came to Xiaoshiwa Village, and I was one of them." ”

Zhang Yang forcibly held back the excitement in his heart, Chen Aiguo finally took the initiative to mention this matter, and he said in a low voice: "I found Principal Chen on the photo." ”

Chen Aiguo stretched out his hand: "Give me that photo!" ”

Zhang Yang handed him the photo, and Chen Aiguo came to the bonfire and looked at the photo by the light of the fire.

Zhang Yang looked at him from the side, still very worried in his heart, for fear that Chen Aiguo would throw the photo into the fire casually, this photo was not easy to come by.

Chen Aiguo seemed to see Zhang Yang's thoughts, sighed and said: "It's been almost thirty years, if you hadn't brought this photo, I would have almost forgotten it." ”

Zhang Yang said: "There are some things that can't be forgotten!" ”

Chen Aiguo returned the photo to Zhang Yang and said: "Yes, there are some things that you can't forget, where did you get this photo?" ”

Zhang Yang didn't hide it, he said truthfully: "Shen Jingxian, do you know him?" I found this picture from her house. ”

"Shen Jingxian?" Chen Aiguo chewed on the name, his expression looked a little confused, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've never heard of this name." ”

Zhang Yang pointed to Shen Jingxian, who was standing with Wang Junyao in the photo, and said, "It's her!" ”

Chen Aiguo said in a low voice: "Her name is not Shen Jingxian, her name is Shen Liangyu, if I remember correctly, when she came to Lu Jialiang in 66 years, she used this name." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Do you know this person who is with her?" Her name is Wang Junyao. ”

Chen Aiguo's eyes showed a trace of imperceptible pain, and he whispered: "Yes, her name is this." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Now everyone calls her Mrs. Heather, she went abroad in the sixties, and now she is a rich woman with a lot of money. ”

Chen Aiguo said: "Mrs. Heather? She's married? ”

Zhang Yang said: "I heard that it was married, but then my husband died and became a widow, and now I am still alone." He suddenly found that Chen Aiguo was very interested in Wang Junyao's news, and Zhang Yang was secretly happy in his heart, as long as he provoked a topic that he was interested in, it would be much easier for this matter to go deeper. Chen Aiguo said: "You know everything you want to know, is there anything else to ask?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "Let's talk about Xu Changde!" ”

Chen Aiguo glanced at Zhang Yang, picked up a piece of chopping wood and threw it into the fire: "You haven't told me who you are?" Why are you so interested in these educated youth? ”

Zhang Yang said: "I am investigating a case, and it has something to do with Xu Changde, this matter is related to the life of an innocent person, and I hope that President Chen can help me understand some past things." ”

Chen Aiguo didn't speak, and added another piece of chopping wood to the fire, the flame burned, and the chopping wood made a crackling sound: "What is Xu Changde doing now?" In this remote mountain village, Chen Aiguo knows nothing about the outside world, and a large part of the reason is that he has been avoiding news of these people.

Zhang Yang said: "He's dead!" ”

Chen Aiguo was stunned and said, "He's dead? ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Not long after serving as the governor of our Pinghai Province, he died suddenly at home due to a heart attack, and several years have passed. ”

Chen Aiguo said: "I didn't expect him to leave so early!" ”

Zhou Shanhu was not very interested in their conversation, and ran to the yard alone to clear the snow.

Zhang Yang said: "You know him very well? ”

Chen Aiguo looked at the blazing flames in a daze.

Zhang Yang didn't dare to disturb him, so he silently accompanied him, and after five minutes, Chen Aiguo said: "He stayed in Xiaoshiwa Village for a year and a half, and then joined the army and left, and since he left, there has been no contact between us anymore." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Is the relationship between Xu Changde and Wang Junyao very good? "What Zhang Daguan really cares about is this.

The muscles at the corners of Chen Aiguo's lips twitched, his expression was painful, and he didn't answer Zhang Yang's question.

Zhang Yang saw that he was reluctant to answer positively, so he changed the topic and said, "Principal Chen, have you ever heard of the name Dong Dezhi?" ”

Chen Aiguo nodded and said: "You're talking about Dong Erhei, it's Dong Dezhi, we used to call him that, he is the youngest of the educated youths in the countryside, there is no him in the photo, but he has also cut in line in Xiaoshiwa Village!" ”

Zhang Yang was really surprised and delighted, this is a huge discovery, after a long time, Xu Changde, Wang Junyao, and Shen Jingxian should say that Shen Liangyu and Dong Dezhi all worked as educated youths in the same village, Zhang Yang said: "Dong Dezhi later served as the deputy director of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, and committed suicide because he knew the law and broke the law. ”

Chen Aiguo sighed and said: "Dong Erhei is very smart, we took good care of him at that time, but he likes to stick to Wang Junyao the most and treat Wang Junyao as his own sister." Chen Aiguo's words made Zhang Yang even more convinced that the woman in the photo was Wang Junyao.

Zhang Yang asked cautiously: "Is there something ...... between Dong Dezhi and Wang Junyao?"

Chen Aiguo shook his head vigorously and said, "No, Wang Junyao just treats him as a younger brother, and there is absolutely no such affection between him and him." ”

Zhang Yang saw that Chen Aiguo was so sure, and said in his heart, why did Chen Aiguo know so much about Wang Junyao? Could it be that this lonely half-life old principal also has a leg with Wang Junyao's girl, but to be fair, Wang Junyao still belongs to the charm of half-old, and she must have looked good when she was young. Zhang Yang remembered the scene when he saw the photo at Shen Jingxian's house, Shen Jingxian's performance was extremely indifferent, and he didn't even admit that he knew Xu Changde and Wang Junyao, Zhang Yang said: "Since you are all educated youths who cut the queue together, why doesn't Shen Jingxian admit that he knows Xu Changde and Wang Junyao?" What happened then? ”

Chen Aiguo said: "Young man, your curiosity is too strong, you are inquiring about other people's **." ”

Zhang Yang said: "I'm not interested in other people's **, but this matter is related to a person's life, so I must find out." ”

Chen Aiguo said: "Not long after I cut the queue here, I was arrested and criticized by the township because I made a mistake, and I squatted in the small black house for more than half a year, and when I came back, Xu Changde had already joined the army and left, Wang Junyao was also gone, Shen Liangyu had some health problems, and he was allowed to go home to see a doctor." There's a lot going on in between, I don't know. ”

Zhang Yang will be suspicious of Chen Aiguo's words, maybe he really doesn't know, maybe he doesn't want to say it at all, Zhang Yang said: "A total of eight educated youths who came to Xiaoshiwa Village, does Principal Chen have any news about the other three?" ”

Chen Aiguo said: "I know a person, his name is Chen Tianzhong, he is our captain, he is a very good person, he stayed in Xiaoshiwa Village for two years, and then I heard that he went to Chunyang because of his family, and he seems to have worked in the Chunyang Water Conservancy Bureau for a while, and I don't know the situation later." ”

Zhang Yang took out the photo and said, "Which one?" ”

Chen Aiguo pointed to one in the middle of the back row, Chen Tianzhong stood in the crowd and looked dignified, a beautiful man.

Chen Aiguo said: "That's all I know. ”

Zhang Yang said: "If you have the opportunity, do you want to meet these old friends?" ”

Chen Aiguo sighed and said, "Forget it, the past is gone, what's the point of getting together?" It's just a matter of adding to the sadness. ”

After dawn, Zhang Yang and Zhou Shanhu left Xishan Temple together and came to Zhou Shanhu's house, only to find that Jiang Liang was sick, lying on the bed and shivering, touching his forehead hot, this night's life in the small mountain village made him frostbite.

Jiang Liang trembled and said, "How is it...... Yes...... Did you find anything? ”

Zhang Yang said: "It's a bit of a discovery." ”

Jiang Liang said: "Then can we go?" ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Liang said: "Laugh at the fart, and then ...... If I stay one night, I'll be going to be here. ”

Zhou Shanhu said: "Although the snow has stopped, the mountain road is difficult to walk. ”

Zhang Yang said: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to go, we have to ask everything we should ask, Huzi, thank you for your help and hospitality, and when you have the opportunity to go to Nancy in the future, you must come to the Sports Committee to find me." ”

Zhou Shanhu saw that they insisted on leaving, and decided to send them away, and said, "No, you send us down the mountain, how can you come back?" ”

Zhou Shanhu said with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, I have to go to the countryside to learn about the affairs of Xishan Temple, and strive to come back with the police car." ”

Zhang Yang was right to think about it, so the three of them left Xiaoshiwa Village together.

Driving down the mountain is much more difficult than going up the mountain, they drive carefully, set off at seven o'clock in the morning, and when Lu Jialiang is already half past nine in the morning, Zhou Shanhu broke up with them in Lu Jialiang, Zhang Yang gave him a down jacket that he doesn't often wear, Zhou Shanhu This young man is very simple, enthusiastic and enthusiastic, Zhang Yang likes it very much.! ~！
