It was half past one in the afternoon, and no one had eaten yet.

Hou Qin and Hou Qingjun chopped stuffed dumplings at home, and Shen Shu proposed to let the village party secretary and Wei Dongxin go to the house for dinner.

Wei Dongxin said: "You go back to eat, I have to guard the professor, and I can make a meal in the hospital cafeteria later." ”

"Then I'll bring you food." Xia Xiaoqin said.

"Too much trouble, isn't it?"

"Don't bother, my family stewed pork rib soup and dumplings, I'll bring some to you and the professor later."

The village party secretary was very surprised, if it is not a New Year's holiday, Xia Xiaoqin's family can eat so well?

Are they really developed?

However, thinking about it, the village party secretary still has his own character, he insisted on going home and refused to go to Xia Xiaoqin's house for dinner.

arrived at the door of Xia Xiaoqin's house on the cross street, and Xia Xiaoqin once again asked the village party secretary to go to her house for dinner.

The village party secretary said: "Such a big thing happened in the village today, I can't spread bad words anymore, I have to go back quickly." ”

"Won't you go to the Public Security Bureau to ask about the situation and then go back?"

The village party secretary looked decent: "I believe that the public security comrades will deal with it impartially!" ”

Xia Xiaoqin understood that the village party secretary didn't want to go to the public security bureau to pick up people at all, he couldn't wait for the public security bureau to arrest all the Xia family members who liked to make trouble, and save him a stain.

Across the road, Xia Xiaoqin pointed out the alley where her house was located to the village party secretary: "My family lives in the second house here, when did you and your sixth uncle come to the county seat, remember to come to the house to sit." ”

Although the village party secretary couldn't see what the courtyard of the second house looked like, he could see the big tiled house built of blue bricks and red bricks in the first house!

"Okay, okay, I will definitely go to your house for a cup of tea when I come to the county seat again."

After sending off the village party secretary, Xia Xiaoqin and Shen Shu returned home.

Hou Qin and Hou Qingjun had already finished the meal, and Xia Xiuxue was also called back from school by Shen Shu, and when Shen Shu took Hou Qin and Hou Qingjun back to Xiajia Village, it was Xia Xiuxue who accompanied Liang Ye and Xia Xiaofu.

However, although the meal was ready, they didn't wait for Shen Shu and Xia Xiaoqin to come back, and they were not in the mood to eat.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, Hou Qin hurriedly asked, "How is that Professor Wang?" Are you alright? ”

"It's not too much of a problem at the moment, but we'll have to keep watching." Xia Xiaoqin replied.

"That's good, that's good." Hou Qin glanced at Xia Xiuxue and asked, "How are you doing with them?" Has the police found out? ”

"I haven't gone to the public security bureau yet, I'm so hungry, can I eat?"

Hou Qin hurriedly stood up and said, "The dumplings are wrapped!" Wait, I'll go and make dumplings for you. ”

Shen Shu also stood up: "I'll go and mix a fairy jade tofu cold." ”

Hou Qingjun knew that Xia Xiuxue must have something to say, so he picked up Xia Xiaofu and said to Liang Ye: "Xiaoye, let's go to the street store to buy soda to drink." ”

"Yes!" Liang Ye was close to the second uncle and obediently took the second uncle's hand.

After everyone left, Xia Xiuxue asked, "Who did it?" ”

"Xia Guoliang smashed Professor Wang with a brick a few times, there were bruises on his chest and legs, and the wound on his forehead was the most conspicuous, but it was only a bruise."

"When Ma Xiaomei tied Professor Wang to a stool for questioning, she took a wicker branch and whipped him several times, and Professor Wang had whip marks on his body, which must be enough to be convicted."

"I don't know if our milk moved or not, I only know that the only one who didn't do it was Xia Danhong, and she was responsible for watching the wind at the door."

Xia Xiuxue didn't want to intercede for the Xia family at all this time, he thought that the Xia family should know how to be honest after suffocating, but he didn't expect them to use their brains elsewhere, and beat people to know that they were beaten behind closed doors.

"You still have a fever, don't go to the public security bureau in the afternoon, rest at home. I'll ask from the Public Security Bureau. Xia Xiu said.

"The Xia family may be angry when they see you." Xia Xiaoqin said euphemistically.

"I'm not going to meet them."

Xia Xiaoqin nodded, and did not insist on going by herself.

She was really uncomfortable, her chest was uncomfortably blocked, her head was still dizzy, and she was able to hold on from morning to now, purely because she was forced to hold on.

After lunch, Hou Qingjun returned to Mahouzhuang, Shen Shu went to the hospital to deliver food to Wei Dongxin and Professor Wang, and Xia Xiuxue went to the Public Security Bureau to ask about the situation.

Hou Qin was worried that Xia Xiaoqin, who was ill, was at home alone, and took Liang Ye and Xia Xiaofu to accompany her at home.

Xia Xiaoqin went back to the house to sleep after taking the medicine, Liang Ye and Xia Xiaofu also fell asleep after they were tired of playing, Hou Qin was fine, picked up the broom and started cleaning.

As she was sweeping the yard, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Hou Qin thought that Xia Xiuxue or Shen Shu were back, put down the broom and prepared to open the door, but when she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered the advice of her landlord, saying that the county town was "chaotic" compared to the countryside, and she couldn't open the door to people casually.

Hou Qin retracted the action of opening the door, stood behind the door and asked, "Who?" ”

The person who knocked on the door didn't speak, Hou Qin thought his voice was quiet, and asked again: "Who?" Who's banging on the door? ”

The man still didn't make a sound, and not only that, but he turned and walked away, creaking the hollow floor slabs in the alley he stepped on.

Hou Qin suddenly raised her vigilance, she estimated that this person was almost time to walk out of the alley, so she opened the door a small crack, and carefully stuck her head out to look.

Hou Qin saw a tiger's back, he was wearing black short sleeves and shorts, and the flesh on his exposed arms and calves was pimple, which looked quite scary.

Hou Qin felt that Xia Xiaoqin's family should not know such a person, so she quickly closed the door tightly.

When Shen Shu went home, Hou Qin deliberately asked behind the door who opened the door.

"Third sister, did anyone knock on our door in the afternoon?" Shen Shu asked after entering the hospital.

Hou Qin was very surprised: "How do you know? ”

"When I entered the alley, I met Brother Li on the other side of the door, he said. He also said that you didn't open the door for the man, and the man didn't open the door, and he knocked on the door and left without anyone opening it. ”

"Well, there was a knock on the door, but I asked him who it was, and he didn't speak, so I didn't dare to open the door. When he left, I took a sneak peek, and he was quite strong, and he didn't feel like someone you knew, so I didn't call him. ”

"Well, you might be looking for the wrong home. I'll talk to Brother Li later, so that he doesn't think about it. ”

When Xia Xiaoqin's family first moved in, there was Xia Liqing's burning of the house, and since then, the people in the alley have paid special attention to Xia Xiaoqin's family.

Li Tie's family, who live in the opposite door, listens to movements at any time, as long as Xia Xiaoqin's family comes, they will lie in the crack of the door to observe, for fear that they will burn the house again.

Xia Xiaoqin was woken up by the conversation between Hou Qin and Shen Shu, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "Has Uncle Li found anything wrong again?" Do you want me to explain? ”

Shen Shu felt that this was something that was not worth taking to heart, and just as he wanted to go over, Hou Qin followed Xia Xiaoqin's words and said: "Someone knocked on your door, I asked who it was, and he didn't speak, I secretly took a look, he looked stronger than your second uncle, and the flesh on his arms and legs was pimple, which was scary to look at!" ”

Xia Xiaoqin's drowsiness woke up all of a sudden, so nervous that her tongue was a little knotted: "Do you see your face?" What does it look like?! ”

"I didn't dare to open the door until he was gone, and I saw his back."

Shen Shu found that Xia Xiaoqin's face had changed, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong Xiaoqin, do you know this person?" ”

Xia Xiaoqin didn't want to think about the worst, but as soon as she heard that she was strong, she thought of Guo Dazhuang!

"Mom, did you say Uncle Li saw his face?"

"The door of your Uncle Li's house is wide, you should be able to see it."

Xia Xiaoqin immediately said: "You ask Uncle Li not to go out first, I'll go to the post and telecommunications bureau to make a call!" When I'm gone, remember to close the door! ”

"What the hell is going on?" Shen Shu and Hou Qin were both full of question marks.

"I'm afraid that the person knocking on the door is Guo Dazhuang!"

Shen Shu suddenly felt a thrill, and goosebumps appeared on his body: "Didn't you say that Guo Dazhuang is dead?" ”

"So I have to call Brother Chu to confirm and ask if I can send a photo of Guo Dazhuang. Mom, you asked Uncle Li not to go out yet! ”
