madman and kidnapper

Chapter 41
The kidnapper ran home panting, but he stumbled over the threshold as soon as he reached the door. The kidnapper staggered two steps, but he still couldn't hold on. He fell in front of the woman, scaring the woman who was dozing off in front of the stove. one jump.

"Fish, where's the fish?"

The woman wiped the drool from her mouth sleepily, and seeing the kidnapper sitting on the ground with empty hands, she looked into the basket behind him, and saw that the basket was also empty, not even a speck of water.

"Old liar, fool me again, tell me, where did you go to be lazy this time?"

She didn't look at the fish, so the woman wasn't surprised at all. It would be a surprise if the kidnapper could get the fish back.

The kidnapper listened dejectedly to the woman giving him another nickname. After "Old Scoundrel, Old Thing, Old Hooligan", he gained another nickname in a few days: "Old Liar".

Seeing that the woman was not very happy, the kidnapper quickly put on a smile and coaxed:

"It's not that I lied to you. Let's not think about the fish in this lake. I'll go to the market and buy you two sea fish after the town's big market opens next week. I promise to let you buy it once." Eat enough."

After hearing this, the woman didn't take it seriously, and glanced at the "old liar" angrily:
"I don't believe it, you are just talking nonsense, I said you want to eat sea fish, but you insisted that the fish in the lake are fat, and you are going to catch some carp and come back. You have been out all morning, and you don't even have a fish scale Bring it back, and now tell me to go to the market to buy sea fish, how can I trust you so much!"

"No," the kidnapper felt wronged, and anxiously scratched his ears and explained, "I really didn't lie to you, I was going to go fishing today, but when I got to the lake, I saw that the lake was not looking good. , I just didn’t dare to catch it, you don’t know how dark the water is, and it’s old and smelly, those people who water the ground hate it.”

"Huh?" The woman was a little confused after hearing this, "What do you mean, what's wrong with the lake? Why is the water dark?"

The kidnapper hurried forward and told the woman how the lake was dirty, how everyone went to find the source of the pollution, and how the factory hid behind closed doors. At the end, the kidnapper slapped his thigh and asked the woman in a panic :
"I don't look good over there. Those young people are all angry, and the factory doesn't dare to open the door. It seems that they want to hide to the end. I always feel that something will happen, so I run away. came back."

The woman frowned thoughtfully, she glanced at Kidnap, suddenly smiled and said:
"You have grease on the soles of your feet. You are less courageous than a mouse. You know how to run when you encounter trouble."

Seeing that the woman didn't pursue the "fish" matter, the kidnapper finally heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't care what the woman said about him, anyway, what the woman said was the truth. At the side, seeing the woman still frowning and thinking about something, she moved her face closer and called the woman in a low voice:

"What are you thinking, so dazed?"

The woman shook her head, thought for a while, and suddenly sighed:

"Oh, it's only been a few days, and then something happened again."

"What?" The kidnapper was shocked, "According to what you mean, can we really start a fight? No way, the old man is still there, no matter how impulsive those young people are, they have to look at the old man's face, and they can't start a fight. .”

"Yo Yo Yo," the woman looked at the kidnapper amusedly, and joked at the kidnapper half-amusingly and half-sarcastically, "If you really think you can't fight, why are you running back? You are such a fun-loving person, why don't you just sit by the side?" Knock melon seeds and watch them quarrel? Don’t lie to yourself, there must be something wrong today. Let me tell you, the factory at the head of your village should have been closed long ago. Once this factory is closed, your village will at least be able to make a big leap forward. cut."

The kidnapper listened to the woman's words and thought it made sense, but he didn't understand the meaning of the woman's last sentence, but he didn't care. Now the kidnapper was more concerned about whether there was a fight at the factory gate.

About two o'clock in the afternoon, the kidnapper slipped to the door of the village chief's house like a thief, and looked inside through the crack of the door. The village chief's house was quiet, and he felt that there was no one inside. Hearing a person running from a distance, shouting while running:

"It's not good, there is a fight at the gate of the village head factory, everyone hurry to help, hurry to help!"

Kidnap's heart skipped a beat, his legs softened, and he thought:

"It's broken, it's broken, it's over now."

The kidnapper rushed into the courtyard of the village chief's house, looked left and right, and finally picked up a wooden stick from the corner of the wall, held it in his hand, and hurriedly rushed towards the factory.

Along the way, the kidnapper saw many people running towards the factory, and he began to feel more and more uneasy, feeling that things were much more serious than he imagined.

As soon as the kidnapper ran to the edge of the lake, there was a faint siren sound behind him, and the sound was getting closer and closer. As soon as the kidnapper turned his head, two police cars rushed past him.

"broken."

Kidnap stopped suddenly, opened his mouth and popped out these two words.

When the kidnapper walked slowly to the gate of the factory, he only saw the endgame. The first thing that entered the kidnapper's eyes was the pools of blood stains on the ground that looked like exploded tomatoes. People were lying on the ground, and the ambulance arrived at an unknown time, and the medical staff were carrying the wounded in the car. Just looking at it like this, the scene was so tragic, there must have been a very bad conflict just now.

The kidnapper looked left and right, and finally saw the village chief sitting by the door. The old man was covering his smashed head with a handkerchief, lowering his head and sighing sadly.

The kidnapper carefully avoided the blood stains and the wounded on the ground, and slowly rubbed against the old man. After hesitating for a long time, he asked:
"Old, old man, what, what's the matter? Didn't you come to understand the situation, why are you still fighting?"

The village chief shook his head, closed his eyes very tiredly, and looked like he didn't want to say anything.

At this time, a policeman came, stood in front of the village chief, and said:

"You are the village chief?"

The village chief slowly opened his eyes, and looked up at the little comrade in front of him in a daze. After a while, he nodded slightly:
"I am."

"Okay then," the little comrade nodded, pointing sideways to the car behind him, "please come with us, don't worry, it's nothing else, just want to understand the situation so that we can investigate further."

The village head continued to nod, but didn't say anything else. He stood up slowly with a cane, and followed behind the little comrade.

At this time, the kidnapper was in a hurry, he jumped to the little comrade in two steps, and shouted rather anxiously:

"Well, this old man is like this, he, what can he do, what do you take him for, if you want, you have to take the factory manager, the dirty water from his factory drains our lake It's all dirty, why don't you take him?"

"Li Guaizi! Don't make trouble!"

Seeing that the kidnapper dared to yell nonsense at this time, the village chief was anxious, and majesticly kicked the ground with a walking stick, although it was useless.

The little comrade was stunned for no reason by the kidnapper, but he wasn't annoyed, he just explained in a good-tempered manner:

"Old man, don't worry, as I said, I just took your village chief to understand the situation. After all, we are not from here. We don't know what happened. We have to figure it out before we can determine the responsibility, right? As for the director of the factory, you don’t have to worry, he’s going to go back with us, but he hasn’t found anyone yet, and when he does, he’ll make it clear.”

"Oh."

The kidnapper nodded suspiciously, although the little comrade explained a lot, but the kidnapper was still worried and insisted on walking with the old man, the little comrade had no choice but to take him back with him.

"Tell me, are you free?"

The village chief sat in the car, looking helplessly at the kidnapper who squeezed in.

The kidnapper was not timid, and looked around curiously, and he didn't take it seriously when the village chief said about him:
"You old man, you don't know good people. I follow you with good intentions. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you. It's good for you, and you complained. If I knew it, I wouldn't care about you."

After the village chief heard this, he smiled helplessly, knowing that the kidnapper was just yelling, but that's fine, after all, he is old, and there are some things he can't handle. Someone will follow and help him run when the time comes Running errands is also good.

When they arrived at the place, the kidnapper helped the old man out of the car with rare insight. As soon as the two walked in, they found that the director of the factory was already sitting inside.

"Hey, isn't this the village chief?"

When the man saw the village chief, he didn't even lift his butt, just sat on the stool with his legs crossed, and looked at the village chief provocatively.

The village chief didn't bother with him, and nodded with half-closed eyes:

"Director Zeng, long time no see."

It was the first time that the kidnapper saw this "Zeng Factory Manager". When everyone helped the factory repair the road before, the Zeng Factory Manager had never shown his face, and he never had a chance to meet him, so the kidnapper at first glance Seeing this big factory manager, he caught him staring at him fiercely:
Well, the face looks average, and there are two pale eyebrows on a face with Chinese characters, which doesn't match up with it. The thick lips are half-open, revealing two gold teeth inside. "These four words are directly embellished on the facade, the stubby neck is almost gone, and the short and fat body is wrapped in a set of yellow clothes, the whole person looks like a potato.

The kidnapper took one last look at the pointed leather shoes on the man's feet, and curled his lips in disgust.

The kidnapper here is sizing up "Tudou" blindly, while "Tudou" over there is practicing Tai Chi with the village chief. With the needle, both of them can smile and spray each other.

"Village Chief Li is very capable. He brought a group of people to smash my factory. I have grown up so old, and I have never seen such a posture. What? Do you think I paid enough land rent? If it is not enough, just say it? As for the door-to-door Are you looking for something?"

Factory manager Zeng came up and put his hat on the village chief's head, pointing out that the village chief brought people over to make trouble.

The village chief sneered, found a stool to sit down, and then slowly shook his head:
"Hey, Director Zeng, that's not what you said. Why did you turn to land rent? We are naturally very happy that you can come to our village to build a factory and increase jobs for our village, but At the beginning, we agreed to just rent the land to you, but we didn’t say that we would also rent the lake, so who gave you the right to discharge sewage into the lake?”

The two of them came and went, pushing each other unhurriedly, and neither of them meant to be annoyed. The kidnapper was stunned to hear it, and originally wanted to say a few words for the village chief, but later found that he couldn't intervene at all, the kidnapper I thought to myself, as far as my level is concerned, it's better to just sit on the side and kowtow melon seeds and watch, so don't mix it up.

Kidnapper made up his mind to watch the fun, so he also went to find a small bench, sat aside obediently, and took out a handful of watermelon seeds from his cloth pocket, licking and watching the "Tai Chi performance" .
