Chapter 13 The cool heat disappears after the rain
Qishui has had several heavy rains in the past few days.
The heat accumulated in early summer is gone.
The city has also been cooled and transparent by the rain, and the streets and alleys have a new feeling.
"It's finally over!"
Li Changan walked out of the police station and stretched his waist.
It's been a week since I broke into the quarry black prison alone. In the past week, the Taoist priest has not done anything else, but reported to the police station every day, repeatedly recording confessions and tossing. There is no way, this matter has caused an uproar in Qishui and even the whole country, and it is a big case that has broken the sky, so it is inevitable that the procedure will be cautious and cumbersome.
Of course, there are not necessarily other reasons, such as the final struggle of some people.
But as soon as it came, the movement in this matter was too big, and Li Changan and Yuan Xiaochuan stabbed the media at the beginning out of some considerations.
Second, Yuan Xiaochuan stared at the case almost sleeplessly. Liu Weidong's surveillance video disappeared under his nose, but he still remembers it vividly.
Third, the victims hated the people of Anyuan Company to the core, and they did not let go of each other.
Therefore, even if some people have their hands and eyes to the sky, don't try to close this hole.
It's just that Li Chang'an suffered, and he had to go to the police station every day to talk about it. Fortunately, Yuan Xiaochuan told him just now that this case is settled on Li Changan's side.
Therefore, the Taoist priest did not plan to continue to stay in Qishui to watch the excitement, but wanted to go home early and stay at home.
But before that, he had to go to a place and see if he could make a small thing.
............
Fengshun Village.
At the gate of the village council.
The villagers gathered together and surrounded the three inner and outer three floors.
Everyone, young and old, has worry and resentment on their faces.
Worries, questions, and cries are constantly thrown out of everyone's mouths, gathering together, and boiling over the sky.
"If the company collapses, what will happen to the thatch in the fields?"
"I heard that the owner of the pig farm is also going to be arrested and imprisoned, and the rent of the occupied land will not be paid?"
"The new road at the head of the village is being repaired at the expense of Hongmao, and now it is only half repaired.
"I said a long time ago that planting grass in the field is unreliable!"
"You said it earlier, count your family planting the most. ”
"Okay! What do you say? If you want to blame her, blame her. ”
"Yes! It's all to blame on this stupid woman. ”
In the end, all the worries, questions, and cries turned into anger and rushed to the middle of the crowd, a skinny woman with unkempt hair and dirty body.
"It was because of you that the reporter found the quarry. ”
"It's because of you that the thatch in the whole village can't be sold. ”
"It's because of you that the roads in the village are going to be shut down. ”
"It's because of you, we can't get any money!"
Men smoke cigarettes and curse on the periphery, women point and tear inside, ignorant children burrow through people's cracks, learn the words "fool", "bitch" and "white-eyed wolf" in the mouths of adults, and spit on them from time to time.
And Xiaohui stood there tremblingly, the anger of the people around her was like a sword, gun, sword and halberd forcing her to stay where she could not escape, she could only hook her head and whisper:
"I didn't, I didn't ......"
The voice was slight and muffled, insignificant in the midst of the ruffling of the curses, but even so, it was caught by some sensitive ears.
"You dare to quibble!"
A thin old woman came out of the cracks, she rushed up and slammed Xiaohui's arm, cursing loudly in Xiaohui's crying.
"Our village is for you to eat and clothe. It's good for you to turn around, and the whole village will have no food. You're a short-lived broom star. You're a white-eyed wolf who eats inside and out!"
These words caused the crowd to applaud, and the old woman nodded her head around reservedly, and continued to scold:
"If it weren't for you, a stupid woman, how could my family Fang Dun'er go to jail? He is still a baby, and he will be ruined by you for the rest of his life!"
After saying this, the crowd was a little cold, and some people even pouted quietly.
The village is such a small place, and the people in the village don't know about her family's?
Her grandson has not learned well since he was a child, stealing chickens, touching dogs, smoking, drinking, early love, fighting, tattooing, dyeing hair, perming hair, and the gangsters in the new era should and should not know. This person has long been ruined, and he is embarrassed to put the blame on the fool?
But now is the time to condemn the same enemy, and the crowd hesitates for a moment, and then there is a burst of enthusiastic echo.
The old woman was greatly encouraged, and had the illusion of enjoying the people's voice, and under the excitement, she was not too dirty, and grabbed Xiaohui's greasy and fluffy hair.
"You give us an honest account today. ”
The old woman's questioning slipped to the next three ways that everyone was most curious.
"Did you hook up with that reporter and make you comfortable, you dare to say anything?!"
Xiaohui was screamed, and the atmosphere in the field became more and more jubilant. If it had been decades earlier, it would have been time to beat the gongs and drums and prepare to go to the pig cage.
But at this moment, an untimely retort suddenly sounded from outside the crowd.
"You old woman is talking nonsense, there is absolutely no such thing. ”
"You know?!"
The old woman was enjoying the voice of the people, and when she was questioned, she turned her head angrily.
And the crowd here also consciously dispersed, revealing a young man behind him.
This man was carrying a carton of milk in one hand and hiding behind him with the other, and his face was very unfamiliar, obviously not from his own village.
The young man smiled.
"Of course I do. ”
He pointed to his nose.
"I'm the reporter. ”
The joy in the field suddenly stopped.
The faces of the villagers showed expressions of shock, confusion and even fear, but of course, more anger and ill-intention. Some of the men winked at each other and quietly gathered around.
Li Changan grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth. Then, he took out the object hidden behind him and threw it into the crowd.
That's a big string of firecrackers.
Immediately.
"Crackling. ”
Thousands of firecrackers exploded in the crowd with smoke and dust, chickens and dogs jumping, and farts and urine. Taking advantage of the panic, the Taoist priest jumped over with an arrow step, grabbed the dazed Xiaohui and ran out.
............
A moment later.
Somewhere in the field outside the village.
Li Changan looked at Xiaohui's face, the old woman's slap just now was not strong, and now her slap marks were already red, swollen and shiny.
The Taoist priest sighed in his heart, but he tried to make his warmest and softest smile on his face.
"Xiaohui. ”
"Ahh ”
Xiaohui shrunk her neck and lowered her head to support her.
"I'll take you to a new home, okay?"
She raised her head, looked at Li Changan with straight eyes, and snorted.
"Is there anyone playing with me?"
"Yes. ”
"Do you have anything to eat?"
"Yes, too. ”
"Can I watch TV?"
"Yes. ”
She hooked her head again, shaking her head and looking around on the ground.
The Taoist priest was not in a hurry, waiting closely for her answer.
But it didn't take long for her to pull out a few mints from her pocket and grin at the priest with her face raised.
"I treat you to sugar. ”
The Taoist priest was stunned, then smiled and let go of the hand that was holding her, and went to pick up the mints.
But as soon as the candy fell into her hand, Xiaohui jumped out all of a sudden, ran to the opposite ridge with a smoke, and shouted from afar.
"Phew!
Leaving Li Changan with milk in one hand and a few mints in the other, he couldn't cry or laugh.
Okay.
Today, Poor Dao is going to be a "human trafficker"!
............
The lights are on, and the night is cool.
It's a good time to call friends and hang out at the night market.
On a large folding table, there are a variety of skewers, beer, crayfish, and braised pork platters, and Li Changan, Yuan Xiaochuan, Liu Weidong, and Zou Ping sat down to eat happily.
After Li Changan found Xiaohui, he planned to leave Qishui directly, but after Yuan Xiaochuan found out, he said that the Taoist priest had helped so much, so he had to invite a meal. It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and the Taoist priest agreed. Later, somehow, Liu Weidong and his family also got involved. It just so happened that the last skewer was blown up because of the fat cat falling from the sky, and this time it was simply set at the barbecue stall next to Liu Weidong's house.
It was seven or eight o'clock.
The nightlife in small places ends early, and people are already returning home.
Li Changan's table is next to the entrance of the building, and the neighbors who come in and out will always take a picture.
But the Taoist priest slowly found that when these neighbors bumped into a table of people at their table, their demeanor and movements were more or less weird, and even had some malice of shadow appointment. The Taoist priest thought it was because of Zou Ping's mouth, but gradually found that this malice seemed to be more directed at him.
"That's because they have a weak heart. ”
Zou Ping said with a sneer.
"Because you exposed the quarry, the Red Mao gang is going to fall!"
This Li Changan is even more incomprehensible. Isn't it better for the place for the collapse of the underworld forces, and what are these people vain?
Zou paralyzed himself with his only arm that could move, poured a large sip of wine, and then laughed, the laughter was sharp and hearty.
"Of course, they have to be weak-hearted, not only weak-hearted, but also afraid. ”
"The old lady Zhou on the other side of my house, her baby works in the Hongmao Company; the man upstairs in my house is outside to sell to Hongmao; the old man Wang downstairs in my house is a retired employee of the Hongmao Company; there is also the Jia Laolian on the ground floor, who is a contractor who specializes in repairing houses with the Hongmao Group; and the windmill on the second floor, who runs a canteen in the Hongmao factory......"
"One of them counts as one, they are all dogs raised by Hong Daihai! Now the dog owner is going to be finished, those dogs will only have their tails between their tails and eat feces after they become dogs!"
The more Zou Ping spoke, the happier she became, and the louder she spoke, attracting the attention of the people around her.
Liu Weidong has a soft temperament, and while quickly appeasing his wife and asking her to be quieter, he cleverly changed the topic.
"Mr. Li, why do you want to leave now? ”
That's a good question.
If you regard the fight against Hong Daihai and his gang as a football game. Li Changan is leaving Qishui now, even if he goes home and continues to pay attention, it is like the game is going to a wonderful place, but he leaves the scene and goes home to watch the live broadcast.
Li Changan peeled the crayfish slowly and methodically, looking relaxed.
"I've done everything I can do, and it doesn't matter if I stay or not. How did this turn out......"
He pointed at Yuan Xiaochuan.
"That's your business. ”
"Lao Li, don't worry. ”
Yuan Xiaochuan drank a little, and patted his chest and shouted on the spot.
"I don't dare to say anything else, but at least if you catch these people, one counts as one, and all of them will go to jail. ”
With that, he thought about it again.
"Oh, no. ”
"There's a little baby in there, with colorful hair, what's it called......"
"Fang Dun'er?"
"Yes. Yuan Xiaochuan slapped the table. "It's the one who killed Matt, he's young, and he's just joined the gang, so he didn't have time to commit anything, so he probably won't be in prison. ”
He had just poured a large glass of cold beer and took a sip of his cigarette.
"But I think that sooner or later it will be a scourge for this kind of person to be released, and it is better to lock him up for a few years. ”
"Maybe. ”
Li Changan dealt with it casually.
......
After three rounds of drinking, drunken eyes.
The tables were in disarray, and the supper had come to an end.
Finally, Li Changan asked about the situation of those who were rescued from the black prison by him.
Yuan Xiaochuan was full of wine and food, spread out on the chair, picked his teeth with a toothpick, and lazily returned:
"Then you have to ask Lao Liu. He didn't protest for the past few days, and ran to the hospital every day to help take care of the witnesses. ”
"They are all fine, and the most serious young man has also been rescued, and there may be some sequelae to slowly recuperate. ”
At this time, Liu Weidong also accumulated a few points of pride in his chest.
Asked the boss to bring the liquor, poured a full glass, stood up and saluted Li Changan:
"This one is for the witnesses in the hospital. They can't come, and I honor you for them. ”
He drank it all and poured another glass.
"This cup belongs to my mother-in-law. She had a bad temper after the accident, but I know it was because she was bitter. ”
He wiped his reddened eyes, drank and poured another glass.
"This one is mine. I don't want to thank you, I have to take care of my mother-in-law in this life, and I will treat you as a cat and a dog in the next life!"
This is also chic, it is worthy of opening a pet shop, others are cattle and horses, and he is treated as a cat and a dog.
Li Changan also stood up and picked up the herbal tea at hand.
"I also have to drive and replace wine with tea. ”
"Take care. ”
"Have a nice trip. ”
............
Supper is over, and they disperse.
Liu Weidong carried the drunken Zou Ping home, Yuan Xiaochuan was going to the police station to continue guarding, and Li Changan was going to the parking place.
The two stopped by and went to the car together.
Suddenly.
A dirty face "snapped" on the car window.
Yuan Xiaochuan was scared to wake up.
"Are you borrowing my car just to abduct and sell women?"
Knowing that he was joking, the Taoist priest couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What are you talking about, she's the little Hui I told you. ”
Li Changan briefly recounted what he saw in the village today and explained:
"She can't stay in the village anymore. ”
"There is a welfare home in Shuangqing, and they have a rehabilitation center for the disabled, and I want to send her there. ”
Yuan Xiaochuan was still a little confused.
"When you send a disabled person to a welfare home, you need the consent of your guardian, right? Are you her guardian?"
Of course, Li Changan is not Xiaohui's guardian, but it just so happens that he has acquaintances in that welfare home.
He opened the car door, handed the packed food box to Xiaohui, and said something roundabout.
"The good of the Chinese is to talk about human feelings, and the bad is bad to not pay attention to the rules. ”
