With a feeling of apprehension, I slowly walked in the direction of Mojia Village. No car, all on foot. The reason why I didn't take the bus was not because I was so poor that I didn't even have the fare on my money, but because I wanted to go back to my hometown, but I was afraid to go back.

The death of the lonely lotus made me owe a heavy debt of conscience. Although we are in an unrequited relationship, the scene where she uses her body to block the bullet for me also made me realize that although I only covet her beauty and use her, she has paid the price of her true affection for me, even her life.

What really scared me to go home was not because of my conscience, but because I wondered what kind of desolation I would see when I returned to my hometown, and whether the people of the village would be besieged by them out of anger.

The sparse snowflakes in the sky that would have brought me a lot of joy in the cold winter months now make me feel more and more chilly. In our south, there is only one or two light snow once or twice in the whole winter, starting when I was young, this is the happiest time for me and my friends, even if I grow up, I am still very obsessed with the first snow in the south of the Yangtze River, but unfortunately, today's light snow, but I have lost the heart to watch for the first time since I was sensible.

Today is the first time in months that I have breathed real air and enjoyed real freedom. After Mayor Wang's 'suicide' and death, because of the large amount of evidence I provided in order to clear my name, under the huge umbrella that Mayor Wang had carefully woven for many years, the case of making and selling counterfeit drugs in Mojia Village finally surfaced.

After I was cleared of suspicion of killing Lonely Lotus and Mayor Wang, the judicial department launched a serious and meticulous investigation into me while investigating the counterfeit drug case. Of course, the results of the investigation were obviously very favorable to me, and there was no evidence that I was involved in the fake drug case in Mojia Village, on the contrary, it was because of my report that this fake drug case surfaced, and I was the number one contributor to this big case.

During my tenure as the village head of Xiangyang Village in Qingshi Town, the assistant mayor and acting mayor of Qingshi Town, I did not find out how much of a problem I had, after all, I was promoted rapidly in a short period of time, and I did not have the time and opportunity to participate in many economic activities. It's just that the law is fair, and although I am a meritorious person in the counterfeit drug case, with the investigation of the case, I also discovered the problem of Mayor Wang's illegal appointment of cadres.

I was one of them, so I was dismissed from all my posts and ordered not to leave the city and to cooperate with the judicial authorities in the investigation of the counterfeit drug case at any time.

Because considering that Mayor Wang has been an official in the city for many years, the relationship is complicated, and the counterfeit drug case involves a wide range of people and involves huge economic interests, many people involved in this matter are like frightened birds for a while, and no one dares to guarantee whether they can still live a stable life when they wake up one night. Therefore, the members of the investigation team repeatedly told me to pay attention to my own safety and prevent people who had not yet been exposed from being killed in a hurry.

I was already scared in my heart, and I didn't know what kind of situation this case would bring to Mojia Village, I was afraid of this terrible process, and I just wanted to see the results as soon as possible, so I put forward my own request to the investigation team. The investigation team agreed to my request and placed me in a secret residence under the protection of special police 24 hours a day.

The long investigation was the most slow time in my life, and it seemed that I was suffering every minute. It wasn't until there was a sparse sound of small firecrackers outside that I reacted for a long time, and it was already Chinese New Year's Eve. This was supposed to be a time when my family was happy to get together and busy with the atmosphere of the New Year, but today I was alone in a strange place accompanied by the police.

In fact, the protection of me was lifted a few days ago, because although the counterfeit drug case is huge, the investigation is effortless, and there is a large number of people involved. The main culprits have been taken into custody, and it can be said that my personal safety has been basically guaranteed. Although I have seen this in the newspaper, I am still afraid to leave out of fear and entanglement in my heart, and I am still afraid to retreat in this small and closed world.

The sporadic sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve made my homesickness rise to the extreme. I finally proposed to the police officer who was in charge of accompanying me that I wanted to go home.

After the policeman reported to his boss on the phone and asked me to sign it, I walked out of this small world. After the police car sent me to the territory of Qingshi Town, the fear of homesickness suddenly came back to me.

I asked the police to get out of the car, and after the police car was gone, I settled down and decided to start walking back to my hometown. I did this because I wanted to go back and was afraid of seeing the complicated mentality of the villagers. I can also think carefully on the hike, imagine what I should do when various scenes arise, and at the same time, I can grind until it is dark and sneak into my home under the cover of night.

To my relief, although my parents were also involved in the counterfeit drug case, they had to participate under the coercion and inducement of the village chief. What's more, because of my meritorious service, and the last time I escaped from Mojia Village, I took care of my parents and collected evidence of counterfeiting in the village. After the counterfeit drug case, the parents took the initiative to cooperate with the police to explain everything they had done and provided relevant physical evidence. Therefore, although the parents were also sentenced to one year in prison for many years for counterfeit drugs, they were only suspended, which hardly affected their normal life for parents who basically did not go out.

I looked at the gray sky, and there were three small hills to climb over, and I could reach my hometown, and my heart began to get excited, and I unconsciously quickened my pace.

But it didn't take long for my heart to get restless. It's strange, obviously I'm focused on the road, and I've obviously quickened my pace, why do I feel that the road is getting longer and longer?

The light snow in the sky has long since stopped, and there is no snow on the ground, only white snow fur hanging from the pine and cypress in the hill.

As I was hurrying along, an open field suddenly appeared in front of me. What puzzled me was not how there was such an open space in the middle of the hill, but that there was a stage in the open space. Bursts of trivial sounds came into the ears, mixed with bursts of gongs from time to time, and several people in gorgeous costumes on the stage were babbling and humming the opera.

I stopped curiously, gasped for breath, and then felt that my feet were already sore after thinking about what was on my mind. Seeing a big bluestone in front of the stage, I took out a change of dirty clothes from my backpack and spread it on it, ready to rest and watch the drama by the way.

After watching it for a few minutes, I felt so bored that I wanted to get up and hurry again. I was about to stand up when I muttered: "It's really inexplicable, there is no reason to set up a stage in this place to sing, and that's it, if I didn't deliberately pass by the hill because I avoided the villagers, and there was no audience, who is this play for?" ”

"Who says no one watches the show? Are you frozen out of your brain? A charming young woman's voice sounded behind me. I was startled, and when I turned around, I actually saw that behind the big bluestone I was sitting on, there was really a beautiful girl sitting like a smile.

I was pleasantly surprised: "Miss, you are sitting here watching the play, there has been no sound, I thought I was the only one watching the play!" ”

The girl smiled and said, "You, you're just staring at the stage, how can you pay attention to the surroundings?" Look at it again, there are so many people watching the play, and you actually say that no one watches the play. ”

I wondered if she was amusing me, but I couldn't help but follow her white fingers in the direction of the stage. It was so amazing that I could barely close my mouth in astonishment.

Under the stage, it was actually crowded with people. The people in the middle were all sitting, and those on either side were standing. But whether they were sitting or standing, everyone was watching the stage with full attention.

The girl nudged me and smiled, "I didn't lie to you, did I?" You must be dazzled that so many people haven't seen it. ”

I nodded embarrassedly, looking at her beautiful face, I deliberately accosted: "Miss, why is the stage set up here?" I've grown up here, but this is the first time I've seen this kind of scene! ”

The girl was surprised, "You grew up here?" Seeing that you were carrying a travel bag, I thought you had come from out of town! Let me tell you, have you heard about the accident in this village? Almost every household in a village is doing bad things, but fortunately, God has eyes, their affairs have been exposed, and the big official who protected them has also died, and a large number of people have been arrested! ”

My heart tightened, and I didn't dare to say that I was from the Mojia Village, but my curiosity made me can't help but ask: "Miss, I've heard about this too, but does this have anything to do with singing here?" ”

The girl was even more surprised, and said puzzledly: "You don't know anything, so why are you here alone?" Today's stage was invited by my dad to celebrate me. The year before last, I suddenly had a strange disease, and it was not until I was taken to the hospital that I was severely malnourished, and the doctor found that I had a large number of hookworms in my body, thinking that it was caused by my unhygienic diet. ”

My heart sank, alas, the hateful Mayor Wang, under his protection, how many people have been harmed by the fake medicine in our Mojia Village. I said guiltily: "Miss, is it that after Mayor Wang's accident, the Mojia Village Counterfeiting Case occurred in the East Window, and you and your family realized that your illness was caused by you taking this fake diet pill, and seeing that these hurtful people have been punished, this is why you invite the drama troupe to celebrate for you?" ”

The woman nodded, and I said strangely, "Miss, you don't look like you're from here!" Why did you invite a troupe to perform here? You were seriously ill the year before last, and you are recovering well, and now you are beautiful. ”

The woman sighed faintly and said, "Those disgusting worms are burned to death, so I don't have to be tortured now!" ”

I was surprised, "Didn't you take it out with insect medicine or surgery?" How can you say that it was burned? ”

The woman's face was gloomy, and she was silent for a while and said, "The fire in the crematorium is so hot, but I feel very comfortable, I saw with my own eyes that the worms in my body disappeared in an instant in the fire!" ”
