Chapter 248: Something Happened in the Village
After leaving the village, I had planned to find a nearby hotel to stay in. I remember that there was a street between the furniture market and the village, and it was full of tourist companies and small hotels, and near this hotel street there was a police station.
It should be the nearest police station to the village, and if the thieves in the warehouse report the crime, they will also be sent from this station.
But Li Huaishan seemed to be deliberately wasting time, and after getting on the road, he kept wandering around those breakfast shops.
It's really not easy to say that these people who do early business, it's more than five o'clock, it's still dark, they have to get up early to cook, but the problem is that at this point in time, most of the breakfast shops are still preparing ingredients, and there are no ready-made things to eat for the time being, and I don't know why Li Huaishan is eyeing these breakfast shops.
I suspected that he might have done this for a special purpose, so I didn't bother to ask.
Every time he arrived in front of a stall, Li Huaishan would come up, and he would stand in front of the stall without saying a word, just pricking up his ears to listen to the people in the store, and then leave after a while.
The dialect here in Yunnan is actually not so easy to understand, I grew up in Chongqing, and to outsiders, Chongqing dialect and the dialect here in Yunnan sound very similar, but even so, it is still a little difficult for me to understand Yunnan dialect, let alone Li Huaishan.
So I can't understand even more, what is Li Huaishan doing in front of other people's stalls, can he understand what others are saying if he listens with his ears open for a long time?
It wasn't until he passed by a bean noodle shop that the couple who opened the shop were chatting in non-standard Mandarin while preparing to open it, that Li Huaishan heard their voices, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked if there was an epidemic prevention station nearby.
The shopkeeper should be from another place, and he said in a very strong Mandarin that he walked all the way forward, and he crossed three streets.
Just now, I was always curious about what Li Huaishan was planning, but now I understand that he just wants to ask for an address.
Afterwards, I asked him why he was so troublesome, just find a random shop and ask if it was okay, but Li Huaishan said that he was worried that the person who opened the store could not speak Mandarin, and it was useless to ask.
The question is, who still can't speak Mandarin? Besides, you just open your mouth to ask, and there will be no less meat on your body, the other party can speak Mandarin, you can naturally get the answer you want, if the other party can't speak, you can just ask again.
But I also know that Li Huaishan is usually like this, he is not the kind of person who cherishes words like gold, and he will not feel shy when he sees strangers, but if you ask him to ask someone on the side of the road about something, he will become very skewed and full of reluctance.
Alas, completely unable to understand his inner world.
Since Li Huaishan gave me all the money he had in the morning, when he arrived at the intersection, he asked me for some money, on the one hand, for vaccination, and if there was any leftover, he would go to buy some breakfast.
After separating from Li Huaishan, I found a random hotel to stay in and sent my address to Li Huaishan.
It was already six o'clock, and it was much brighter, and the hotel was made of translucent tulle curtains, and I lay on the bed, and the white light shone through the curtains, so that I could not sleep at all.
I couldn't sleep left and right, so I leaned in front of the window and headed towards the police station.
There was no sign of the police in the station, and at about half past six, a fire truck whizzed past the road outside the window and headed straight for the urban village.
If I'm not mistaken, this car should be called by the thief's accomplices.
It has been more than an hour since Li Huaishan and I left the village, and it is estimated that the children in the warehouse hesitated for a long time before calling an ambulance, after all, it is a group of car thieves, such as a place like a hospital where personal information needs to be recorded, they are not willing to go, and the little thief is seriously injured, they may not have enough money to treat him.
Not long after the ambulance passed, a three-wheeled motorcycle drove up from the direction of the village, and I saw that the person sitting in the rear trailer was none other than a seriously injured thief, and two children of his age were sitting on either side of him, carefully supporting him.
Whether it was the little thief or his two companions, the three of them had cleaned themselves up before leaving the village, and when I saw them last night, they were all wearing makeup on their faces, but now the three faces were cleaner than the other, and the long skirts that had been put on them before had been replaced by normal clothes.
I really don't know what this group of people thinks, the little thief is so badly injured, they still have the heart to change their outfit first, if it were me, I would definitely send him to the hospital as soon as possible.
The three-wheeled bike went farther and farther, and the little thief's face twisted by pain finally disappeared at the end of the street.
I took a deep breath and looked in the direction of the village again.
Since it wasn't the ambulance called by the thief's accomplices, who called the ambulance just now? At this time, I suddenly remembered the yin qi that escaped from the urn, and my heart suddenly became a little tense.
It didn't take long for Li Huaishan to come back, he entered the door with his front foot, and the ambulance whizzed under the window, and I put my face on the window pane to try to see who was in the ambulance, but the window glass was coated with reflective paint, and I couldn't see what was inside.
Li Huaishan asked me while putting a large pile of food on the table, "Why don't you lock the door?" ”
I turned around and looked at him: "Is the epidemic prevention station open?" ”
Li Huaishan smiled a little helplessly: "Open the door." Alas, I only got the first shot today, and I have to get a few more shots later, and so do you, why don't you vaccinate the hammer. ”
I gave him a blank look: "Even if I vaccinate it and you are scratched by it, you still have to be injected." Alright, let's eat something quickly, and let's go back to the village after eating. ”
Li Huaishan looked at me with wide eyes: "This is going back?" Aren't you planning to sleep in a hotel first? ”
I walked to the TV cabinet, took out a fritter from the plastic bag, and said to Li Huaishan: "What are you sleeping, there may be an accident in the village." ”
Li Huaishan asked, "What's wrong?" As he spoke, he took out a cup of soy milk from a plastic bag, inserted it into a tube and handed it to me.
"We'll find out when we go back."
After saying that, I took out a few more fritters and ate them in large gulps.
Now I only hope that the ambulance just now was not called by the people in the village, and that the person lying in the ambulance was not killed by the yin qi of last night.
Although the urn was pushed downstairs by a hammer, the hammer is a cat that I raised after all, and if that yin qi really becomes a scourge, the person responsible will definitely not be the cat, but me.
Alas, now I have a headache when I think of that cat coming.
After a hasty meal, we left the hotel before half-past seven and headed straight for the urban village.
When I left, not only did I not check out, but also renewed the payment for three days, I felt that in addition to Lao Hu's family, Li Huaishan and I also needed another meeting point, an absolutely quiet, earless meeting point.
On the way back to the village, the two of us walked very fast, and on the way I occasionally looked into the shops on both sides of the street.
It was the last hour before the city officially started, and everyone was trying to fill their stomachs and adjust themselves to start a full day of work and life.
Except for the dull hustle and bustle that can be felt around the breakfast shop from time to time, there is nothing unusual on the whole road.
People in urban villages don't farm, so it is said that the villagers should get up relatively late, but when Li Huaishan and I were about to walk to the entrance of the village, we saw many people standing on the outskirts of the village, some of them gathered together in groups of three or five, chatting quietly, and some people stood scattered at the entrance of the village, looking in the direction where Li Huaishan and I came.
When I saw so many people gathered outside the village, my heart began to tense for a while.
It seems that something did happen in the village.
I stood next to the entrance of the village, glanced at the crowd a few times, and found that Lao Hu was also there.
There was a group of people who were chatting together, and Lao Hu was standing next to them, as if listening to them with his ears sideways.
When I walked towards Lao Hu, Lao Hu also saw it and hurriedly smiled and beckoned to me.
"What's the matter, there are so many people gathered at the entrance of the village?" I came to Lao Hu and opened my mouth to smell it.
Lao Hu sighed and said, "Mrs. Wang in the village is dead, it is said that she died quite strangely, and everyone is talking about it." ”
I asked him, "What's the situation, what's the problem?" ”
Before Lao Hu opened his mouth, a familiar voice came from my ear: "Yo, you are here too." ”
I turned to look in the direction from which the voice had come from, and I saw a man emerge from the crowd and wave at me.
This guy is none other than the black fat man who took someone to Lao Hu's house yesterday to ask for debts, he quickly got out of the crowd, came to me like a gust of wind, and grinned at me: "I heard that something happened to the group of little beasts in the warehouse." ”
Looking at his mysterious smile, I frowned and didn't speak.
The fat man asked me again, "How did you come from across the road so early in the morning?" ”
As he spoke, he had a "I know you did it" look on his face.
I didn't want to talk to him, so I turned my head and asked Lao Hu: "How did the old lady Wang you said die?" ”
The fat man grabbed in front of Lao Hu and said, "It's strange that no one knows how she died." That's the case, at six o'clock this morning, Mrs. Wang suddenly sang a big drama in her yard, she hardly spoke on weekdays, but no one expected that her voice when she sang was really not ordinary, she could hear it across several village roads, and all the neighbors were woken up by her. After such a fuss, the people living next door to Mrs. Wang's house couldn't stand it. Stone, come here! ”
Halfway through his words, the fat man suddenly shouted into the crowd.
