When Xu Lang followed Chen Weiguo back to his house, the villagers who had followed them all the way also left one after another.

With the departure of these people, the pressure Xu Lang was under gradually decreased, but it did not disappear completely.

Xu Lang and the others arrived at Chenjiahe Village at more than two o'clock, and after such a toss, when they returned to Chen Wei's country again, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

After returning to Chen Weiguo, Chen Weiguo took Xu Lang to the restaurant, saying that it was a restaurant, but in fact, it was in a room next to the hall.

After Xu Lang walked in, he found that there was a table and a few chairs in the restaurant, and a few dishes had been placed on the table, and when Xu Lang came in, a tall man in his twenties was walking in with dishes.

The man is very tall, about 1.8 meters long, his skin is the same as the villagers here, all of them are dark, the man looks a little similar to Chen Weiguo, it should be a father and son or other relatives.

After seeing Xu Lang, the man said with a smile: "Dad, Officer Xu, you are back, and there are not many dishes to fry, so you can have a banquet." ”

After saying this, the man placed the two dishes in his hand on the table, and then turned and left.

When the man was about to go out, Chen Weiguo stopped the man and asked, "Is your uncle here?" ”

"Oh, it should be almost there."

"You go pick it up."

"Okay."

After Chen Weiguo finished instructing this, he pulled Xu Lang to the north of the table, pressed Xu Lang to sit on a chair, and then he walked to the east and sat down, and said, "Officer Xu, how about looking at these dishes?" ”

The table is not big, but the dishes are very rich, most of them are meat dishes, there are Xu Lang's common stir-fried meat with green peppers, potatoes and roasted chicken, dry fried fat intestines, and even, Xu Lang also saw a braised fish, however, the fish is not very big, however, there are some dishes, Xu Lang can't recognize them, they should be the specialties here, Xu Lang didn't care, all the dishes are steaming, the room is full of the fragrance of dishes, although Xu Lang is really hungry, at this moment, there is no appetite.

"Village chief, was that your son just now?" Xu Lang asked.

"Oh, yes, his name is Erdan, and I'm such a son." Chen Weiguo said with a smile.

"Erbastard?"

Hearing that this was not like a person's name, Xu Lang subconsciously frowned.

"Oh, Erdan is his nickname, and his big name is Chen Qiang." Chen Weiguo explained.

Xu Lang nodded, didn't ask anything, but changed the topic and asked, "You just said, there are still people coming?" ”

"Yes, it's the second uncle."

"Uncle?"

Xu Lang frowned again.

"Yes, Uncle is the oldest and oldest man in our village, and you will know when he comes in a while."

As soon as Chen Weiguo's words fell, footsteps came from outside, and then an old man walked in.

The old man is wearing a patched clothes, the clothes look old, and there are some years, but the washing is very clean, the old man's body is slightly rickety, this is a very common situation after people are old, the old man's hair does not fall out, it is still relatively lush, just a little gray, the old man is very thin, it seems, a gust of wind can blow down the general, but his walking posture is very steady.

The old man is very kind-eyed, no different from most rural grandfathers, with a pair of cloudy gray-brown eyes, dark skin, perhaps because of the temperature, the skin is very dry, the corners of the mouth are cracked, and his face has deep wrinkles.

What caught Xu Lang's attention was that there was a cross-shaped scar on the left side of the old man's face, the scar was very deep, Rao was covered by wrinkles, it was still so eye-catching, and the old man had a cigarette pouch rod pinned to his waist, the cigarette pouch rod was nothing unusual, it was made of ordinary bamboo, but the cigarette pouch socket was dark golden, I don't know if it was copper, this color was presented, or it was originally golden, and the cigarette pouch mouth was green, which looked like jade.

After seeing these, Xu Lang subconsciously looked at the cigarette pouch pole that should be made of ordinary bamboo, and he found that the cigarette pouch pole was not dark yellow, but purple, and the surface of the bamboo was very bright, and it was some years old at first glance.

After the old man came in, Chen Weiguo immediately stood up, walked a few steps quickly to the old man's side, and stretched out his hand to help the old man.

The old man stopped, turned his head, glanced at Chen Weiguo, and said lightly: "I'm too old to walk, do I need someone to help me?" ”

The old man's voice was not loud, and his tone was not so stern, but Xu Lang saw that Chen Weiguo's body trembled slightly, and his outstretched hands hung in the air so embarrassedly, his face flushed with embarrassment, lowered his head, and did not speak.

At the beginning, when Xu Lang saw the old man, he thought that the old man was just an ordinary old man with a relatively large generation, but he didn't expect that just now he saw the scene, Xu Lang suddenly felt that this old man who was about to die was definitely not simple.

No matter what Chen Weiguo says, he is also the village head, a village cadre, although he can't imagine it with many county and city leaders, but there is still the majesty that he should have, at least, in front of outsiders, he shouldn't be like this, but the old man is just a look, a word without deliberate reproach, it makes Chen Weiguo like this, Xu Lang is difficult to see, if it is in normal times, what should Chen Weiguo be like when he sees the old man?

"This is the policeman who is the leader of the city bureau?"

After glancing at Chen Weiguo, the old man turned his head, looked at Xu Lang, who stood up with Chen Weiguo, and asked lightly.

At the moment when the old man looked at Xu Lang, Xu Lang's heart suddenly tightened, and his body subconsciously tensed, the old man's cloudy eyes made Xu Lang feel as if he had been seen through by the other party, and he was uncomfortable, which was a feeling that Xu Lang had never had, which made Xu Lang feel more vigilant.

"My name is Xu Lang, and I am ...... of S City"

Xu Lang just wanted to introduce himself, but the old man retracted his gaze, walked to Xu Lang's side, sat down on the empty chair next to him, interrupted Xu Lang's voice, and said: "I know you, I heard that S City has set up a CSY criminal investigation team this year, and the leader is a young man surnamed Xu, it should be you, right?" ”

Xu Lang looked at the old man, nodded subconsciously, and said, "It's me." ”

Although he said so, Xu Lang's heart turned upside down, how did he know about the CSY criminal investigation team?

If I remember correctly, when Xu Lang came to Hengtong County for the first time, Director Chen Guodong didn't know exactly what Xu Lang's identity was when he saw him, and when he saw Chen Weiguo for the first time, Chen Weiguo didn't know anything about CSY.

Did you watch TV and know it from TV? Or is it seen from your phone?

Xu Lang thinks it's unlikely, here, the mobile phone is basically a decoration, it's useless, not to mention surfing the Internet, it's hard to make a call, it shouldn't be seen from the Internet, and TV, Xu Lang didn't see TV at all in Chen Wei's country, and when he visited other villagers before, Xu Lang didn't see TV, and some time ago, S City TV did report some cases investigated by CSY, but, it's been a month or two, if they saw it at that time, When Chen Weiguo saw himself for the first time, he should have recognized himself, after all, his long snow-white hair was easy to recognize, but Chen Weiguo didn't.

These thoughts and questions quickly surfaced in Xu Lang's mind.

"What are you doing sitting, standing?" When the old man saw that Xu Lang was still standing in a daze, he frowned and said.

Chen Weiguo had already walked to the seat at this time, and when he heard the old man's words, Chen Weiguo stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Lang's sleeve and said, "Officer Xu, sit down." ”

Xu Lang came back to his senses, looked at the old man, then at Chen Weiguo, and sat down slowly.

After seeing Xu Lang sit down, Chen Weiguo walked out of the room, not knowing what to do.

After a while, Chen Weiguo came back again, holding a big jar in his hand, it was the kind of jar of sauerkraut, Xu Lang saw the jar in Chen Weiguo's arms, he was a little puzzled, he didn't think that Chen Weiguo went out to get sauerkraut.

Sure enough, after Chen Weiguo came back with the jar, he sat down and opened the lid of the jar, and suddenly, a strong aroma of wine spread from the mouth of the jar, Xu Lang immediately knew what was in the jar, and Xu Lang noticed out of the corner of his eyes that after the old man opened the lid of the jar, his expressionless face changed slightly, it seemed that he was looking forward to this jar of wine.

Chen Weiguo took out three very clean glasses, put them in front of him, used the tool hanging on the edge of the jar to weigh wine, took out three glasses of wine from the jar, and then quickly closed the lid, and then placed the jar on the ground on the side.

After doing all this, Chen Weiguo first held the first glass of wine in both hands and put it in front of the old man, and then pushed the second glass down in front of Xu Lang.

Xu Lang looked at the wine glass placed in front of him, and found that the liquid in the wine glass was golden yellow, and there were some cotton-wool-like magazines, which rose and fell in the quilt, and the aroma of the wine became more and more intense, and even covered up the fragrance of the food on the table.

Finding that Xu Lang was looking at the wine glass in front of him intently, Chen Weiguo said with a smile: "This is a home-brewed medicinal wine, which is our specialty here, it has been placed for seven or eight years, and it tastes very good, Officer Xu, you can taste it." ”

Hearing Chen Weiguo's words, Xu Lang came back to his senses, raised his head, looked at Chen Weiguo, and said apologetically: "We have a rule that you can't drink alcohol during work. ”

"It's okay, when you come to us, it's not work, it's okay to drink a little." Chen Weiguo persuaded.

"But. I'll have to drive back later. Xu Lang refused again.

"Officer Xu, don't look at what time it is, when this meal is finished, it will be dark, don't go at night, the roads in the mountains are not good, it is easy to have accidents when driving at night, stay in the village at night, don't look at our village is small, but there are many houses, live in my house at night." Chen Weiguo spoke out again.

"But ......"

"Knock ......"

Just when Xu Lang wanted to refuse, the old man sitting next to him picked up the wine glass and knocked it heavily on the table, and then put down the wine glass, turned his head, looked at Xu Lang with those cloudy eyes, and said, "Why, this leader from the city looks down on what we rural people have made?" ”

"No, I didn't mean that, I just ......" Xu Lang quickly explained.

To tell the truth, Xu Lang has always been very vigilant when he came to Chenjiahe Village this time, including the tea that Chen Weiguo made for himself, Xu Lang didn't drink it, he was worried that something would happen, but in the end, something happened, Xu Lang didn't want to have an accident next, so he wanted to refuse.

"Just what? Come, I'll toast you. ”

The old man didn't give Xu Lang a chance to explain, interrupted Xu Lang's words again, picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it all, and then, turned the cup upside down, looked at Xu Lang, and signaled to Xu Lang that he had finished drinking.

The old man looked at least seventy years old, and that glass could at least pour two taels of wine, and he actually drank it all, which made Xu Lang very helpless.

Xu Lang had no choice but to pick up the glass on the table, looked at it a few times, frowned, or picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

When the wine glass was close to his lips, the pungent taste did not appear, only a faint medicinal fragrance, Xu Lang looked at the old man's posture of drinking it all, thinking that the wine was not high, so he raised his head, closed his eyes, and drank it all, but when the wine entered his throat, Xu Lang felt that a hot and spicy feeling was instantly transmitted from the stomach to the throat, and then to the mouth, and then, Xu Lang's whole person felt a heat and dryness.

Because he was in too much of a hurry, Xu Lang couldn't help coughing.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"Haha......"

The old man, who has not had a good face since he came in, suddenly laughed when he saw Xu Lang's embarrassed appearance, and the wrinkles on his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, making people feel uncomfortable all of a sudden, however, Xu Lang didn't have the heart to pay attention to these now, the only thing he felt was spicy.

Chen Weiguo also picked up the wine glass on the table, took a big sip, and then put down the glass, looked at Xu Lang, and said: "Officer Xu, I forgot to tell you, although we are in the countryside here, but the home-brewed liquor is all high-grade liquor, when this liquor is brewed, it is about sixty degrees, and when we usually drink it, we don't dare to drink it so violently, I didn't expect Officer Xu to be so bold, and the amount of wine is good at a glance." ”

Hearing Chen Weiguo say this, Xu Lang hurriedly waved his hand, coughing, and said, "Ahem... I can't drink enough... Ahem..."

"Haha, then eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables, and press them with the vegetables." Chen Weiguo said with a smile.

Chen Weiguo said as he gave Xu Lang a few chopsticks dishes.

Xu Lang didn't have time to think about it at this time, he picked up the chopsticks and ate them, Chen Weiguo and the old man couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

————

This meal, eating for almost two hours, the atmosphere is also very harmonious, not at all the tense atmosphere when I was outside just now.

During this period, Xu Lang ate a lot of dishes and drank a lot of wine, not that Xu Lang was greedy for a cup, but that Chen Weiguo had been persuading him to drink, as for the old man, although he did not persuade him to drink, but, after a while, he picked up the cup and clinked glasses with Xu Lang, and without waiting for Xu Lang to say anything, he drank it all, which made Xu Lang very helpless.

During the meal, everyone was chatting about some trivial matters, Chen Weiguo didn't ask Xu Lang what he was doing with so many policemen this time, and the old man said very little, almost all of them were drinking, or eating, and occasionally speaking, all of which were just the words of the elders to the younger ones that could always be heard.

At the beginning of drinking, Xu Lang still felt hot, but after a few glasses of belly, this feeling slowly disappeared, and with this hot feeling disappeared, it was the dizziness of the brain.

Sure enough, the stamina of high-grade liquor is very great, not to mention this kind of medicinal liquor that I don't know what it is brewed in.

After dark, the dining table was already in a mess, and Xu Lang didn't know how much wine he drank, and in the end, the whole person fell on the chair.

Chen Weiguo also drank a lot of wine, and his originally dark face became extremely flushed at this time, but his eyes were very bright, and as for the old man sitting next to Xu Lang, he couldn't see any changes.

After Xu Lang got drunk, Chen Weiguo stretched out his hand and pushed Xu Lang, shouting: "Officer Xu, Officer Xu......"

Xu Lang just shook his body, muttered a vague sentence in his mouth, and then didn't react.

Sure that Xu Lang was really drunk, Chen Weiguo looked at the old man and asked, "Uncle Li, what should I do next?" ”

The old man turned his head and glanced at Xu Lang, who was drunk, and he said slowly: "Just do what you did before." ”

Chen Weiguo was silent, he looked at the old man and asked, "Uncle Li, is this really okay?" What if, he wakes up? ”

"Hmph...... Wake up, wake up, as long as things are done, what else can he do? Either everyone goes in together, or he should go back in disgrace, I want to see, Chen Zhennawa said, how amazing this policeman named Xu Lang is. The old man said lightly.

After Chen Weiguo pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay then." ”

After saying this, Chen Weiguo seemed to think of something, raised his head again, and asked, "What about those policemen?" Kill them? Or ......"

"You can't kill it for the time being, take care of it for the time being, and wait for the kid to wake up." The old man said lightly.

Seeing that the old man said this, Chen Weiguo didn't say anything, shouted at the door, Chen Qiang walked in, and then they helped Xu Lang out of here, leaving the old man sitting alone in his seat, drinking and pouring himself.
