Chapter 19: The Wolves
"Li Chen is fortunate to be thanks to you this time, otherwise it would ......"
"Forget about the pennant and the like, I really rushed back to Tonggu Town in the afternoon, and there was no car when it was late."
"Alright then, this is my phone, you can call me if you have something in the future, maybe it can help."
Seeing that Li Chen was indeed in a hurry, Zhang Xue didn't plan to leave Li Chen, this time the matter was all because of her, Zhang Xue could go back and explain it herself.
They each left their phone numbers, and after seeing Li Chen leave, Zhang Xue turned his attention to the assistant police, although this assistant police officer didn't know Zhang Xue, but he knew Zhao Gang, the number one of the county public security bureau, how could he not know him as an assistant policeman.
"Director Zhao, this assistant police comrade is an eyewitness, let him go back together, I have been in Dingyuan County for more than two months, and I have never been to the Public Security Bureau......"
The assistant police officer was completely devastated when he heard Zhang Xue's words, he had just been admitted to the police system last year, although he was dressed in the coat of law enforcement, but he had no background when he was not turned into a regular.
From Director Zhao's words, he already knew Zhang Xue's identity, that is, the new county secretary, who offended Zhang Xue, the great god, and his future was worrying.
Li Chen only guessed that Zhang Xue was estimated to be the only daughter of a certain bigwig in the county organ, but he didn't expect Zhang Xue to be a bigwig, after all, Zhang Xue looked like she was only twenty-five or sixteen years old.
Lijia Village is a mountainous village, and electricity was only connected after Li Chen was in high school, because there are only a few dozen families in the village, and most of them are planning to move out, so there are fewer and fewer people in the village.
Li Chen planned to buy some daily necessities in the county seat, as well as some gifts, cigarettes and alcohol, etc., and it was not convenient to even buy something after the afternoon in the town.
Li Chen walked around the county, waiting for the bus at the bus stop, there were not many people living in Lijia Village, but there were many Li Chen's uncles in the town, and things could not be stuffed into the territory anymore.
"Have you heard, the county's bully Wang Ergou was arrested......"
"Impossible, his uncle is a county official, who dares to arrest him......"
"I heard my second uncle's neighbor's nephew say......"
Here at the bus stop, groups of three or five gathered together, discussing what happened at the high-speed rail station before, and the villagers were talking about some parents' shortcomings, and Li Chen just listened to it, these three aunts and six women blew it endlessly.
"Second master, when did you come back, why don't you call in advance!"
A black Santana stopped in front of the platform, lowered its window and faced Li Chen, and a young man of the same age as Li Chen beckoned to Li Chen.
"Xiaoshanzi, you can mix it up, you have all started to drive a car."
"Don't say so much, get in the car quickly, come to my house tonight and rub ......"
"I'm going back to the village in the evening and ...... another day"
Li Chen and Li Shan are junior high school classmates, although Li Shan is called Li Chen's second master, in addition to their seniority, the relationship between the two is not bad.
Li Shan's father was in the fruit wholesale business and moved to the town very early, and his mother Wu Yue was more snobbish and looked down on Li Chen, who still lived in the mountain village, and the two gradually broke off contact after graduating from junior high school.
The car stopped under the big banyan tree in the town, Li Chen looked up at the big banyan tree, his heart was extremely uneasy, the fallen leaves returned to the roots, and people would have such thoughts in their twilight years.
Li Chen has been wandering for many years, and after being emotionally traumatized, he resolutely chose to return to the countryside, somewhat negative and escaping from the world, but now he is close to home.
"The second master came to my house to rub it, and I will come back tomorrow ......"
"No need, I got some gifts for everyone, you take me for a walk......"
"Fourth Brother ......"
"Chenzi is back, Xiaoshanzi and your second master come in and sit ......"
"Qingheng ......"
"When will you come back, Second Master, Brother Dashan is back, why don't you notify me......"
Li Chen's seniority is very high in Lijia Village, and his grandfather often told Li Chen before he died that they are the descendants of the Li family.
In Lijia Village, Li Chen's grandfather and his family's fields and mountains are far twice as large as others, and Li Chen's grandfather is still the patriarch of the Li family, and the genealogy was handed over to Li Chen's second uncle for safekeeping after his death.
Under the leadership of Li Shan, Li Chen walked from house to house, and after sending the tobacco, alcohol, and fructose in his hand, he was ready to return to Lijia Village.
"Second master, don't go back tonight, listen to my father, there have been wolves in the mountains recently, and the sun is about to go down now, why don't you go to me for one night......"
Li Shan just didn't understand, it was so late, why did Li Chen have to go home, the mountain in Lijia Village, Li Shan didn't want to go back except for the Qingming Festival to worship his ancestors.
"I still don't want it, while the weather is still early, I'd better go back......"
Li Chen and Li Shan have a good relationship, but Li Shan's mother is very powerful, and I remember that when I was in junior high school, Li Chen often went to Li Shan's house to play.
Li Shan's mother said bad things about Li Chen's grandfather behind her back, and once happened to be heard by Li Chen, and Li Chen rarely went to Li Shan's house since then.
After bidding farewell to Li Shan, Li Chen set foot on the mountain road alone, and since the closure of the mountain for afforestation, the area of deep forests in Dingyuan County has more than doubled.
The overall green area has exceeded 80%, and there are many tributaries in the waters of Lingnan Tiandi, which looks beautiful, but it is very difficult to build a road.
Seven or eight kilometers of mountain roads, with Li Chen's current physical strength, it is naturally not a problem, probably because there are few people walking, and the mountain road is overgrown with weeds and it is not easy to walk.
Whining...... Whining......
When Li Chen passed by the mountain nest, he suddenly heard a wolf roar.
"Could it be that what Li Shan said is true, there are really wild wolves in this Shilipo, I thought Li Shan was lying to me......"
When passing by the mountain stream before, Li Chen deliberately ran to the small stream in the mountain nest to see the place where he used to drink water when he was a child, and the spring was still there, and he found many plum blossom footprints.
There are only a few kinds of animals in the plum print, except for the hyena in the mountains, there is a night cat, the night cat can retract its claws, and only the wolf will leave footprints.
Hearing the howl of the wild wolf, Li Chen sped up his steps, and suddenly heard a swishing sound from the bushes on the side of the road, which frightened Li Chen to stop quickly.
"What to do?"
Li Chen looked up and saw that the sun had been obscured by the mountain, leaving a trace of the afterglow of the sunset, and there was not even a tall tree on the side of the road.
I knew that I would stay at Li Shan's house for one night, and at most I would be glared at by Li Shan's mother a few more times, and I was not without cold eyes.
The wolves were very cunning, they had been hiding in the bushes on the side of the road, and from time to time they let out a whin, Li Chen had no idea how many wild wolves were hidden in the bushes.
He stopped in place and didn't dare to move, took out his mobile phone to call for help, but saw that there was no signal on the mobile phone.
"It's really a way to go to heaven, and it's seamless!"
Li Chen, who had no master of the six gods, was stunned, and even forgot that he still had a territory, as long as he got in and hid.
When Li Chen's grandfather was a child, he often said to Li Chen that when people encounter danger, no matter how smart their brains are, there are times when they are confused, and Li Chen is like this now.
