madman and kidnapper

Chapter 44

In the early morning, after Zhao Lei parked the car at the entrance of the village, he yawned and dozed off on the steering wheel, while his brother-in-law "One-Eyed Dragon" leaned on the seat, pinning his watch to check the departure time.

At a certain time, there was still no one in the car, "Cyclops" cleared his throat, and just about to shout "close the door", he heard an old and familiar voice from the car door:
"Wait, wait, let me go up."

"One-Eyed Dragon" poked his head and saw that it was the village chief, so he quickly reached out to support him:
"Why are you here, where are you going?"

The village chief's knees are not good, and he struggled to get on the roof of the car. He finally sat on the seat, and panted:

"Go to the city to buy some things. The old things at home are no longer good, and the mother-in-law is urging them? Buy new ones."

After hearing this, "One-Eyed Dragon" hurried up to be courteous:

"Is there something missing? Just ask the young man to help you buy it. You have to go there yourself. Your old man's legs and feet are not convenient. In this way, you can make a list for me, and I will help you buy it."

The village chief shook his head with a smile, and slowly closed his eyes without intending to speak.

The one-eyed dragon saw that the village head was tired, and he was embarrassed to disturb him, so he sat aside awkwardly and continued to help his brother-in-law see the way.

The village chief stopped the car when he reached the center of the city, and walked down the car tremblingly on crutches. "One-Eyed Dragon" was worried, so he suggested to the village chief to let him go with him, so he could take care of him. Anyway, he took their car All of them are acquaintances, and they are all embarrassed to cheat. Zhao Lei can handle it himself.

Unexpectedly, "One-Eyed Dragon" just started talking, but was stopped by the village chief:

"Oh! If you don't sell tickets properly, what do you do with me, a bad old man, I can just stroll around by myself, and I'm not an old fool, I can't lose it!"

After the village chief finished speaking, he left step by step.

"One-eyed Dragon" can't help it, the old man said so, and he couldn't stick to it, so he had to go back to the car, but just as the car started, "One-eyed Dragon" suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and looked out the window, and said Puzzled:

"No, the furniture city is not here either!"

"One-Eyed Dragon" quickly poked his head out, trying to call the village chief, but found that the old man had long since disappeared from the street.

The lake at the east end of the village has become so dark, so no matter how dry the fields are, the people in the village dare not use the lake water to irrigate the land anymore. They thought that since the lake water could not be used, they would pick it from the well on the ground, but the well Just a few bites, but there are so many people waiting to water the ground, everyone can't get in line, so they can only squat on the ground and worry, not to mention...

Aunt Wang sat on the ground and sighed, wanting to cry but without tears. She didn't listen to her old man's advice a few days ago, and just soaked the ground with dirty water. She thought the water would be darker. , can there be any hindrance, after finishing the work, I went home to sleep with peace of mind. I didn't expect that when Aunt Wang dozed off and walked to the field early the next morning, she saw her house from afar. More than half of the supposedly green wheat had turned yellow. Aunt Wang thought her eyes were dazzled, so she stared at it vigorously before she even fell asleep. After confirming that it was indeed her land and the wheat had indeed turned yellow , Aunt Wang sat down on the ground, her mind went blank, her mouth was open, and she didn't come back to herself for a long time.

Li Er was carrying a hoe and standing behind his mother-in-law smoking a cigarette. He felt uncomfortable, but he knew that his mother-in-law felt even more uncomfortable, so he tried his best to hold back the complaints in his heart.Li Er didn't want to admit it. Rather than saying that he didn't complain because he felt sorry for his wife, it was better to say that he was afraid of his wife and that he would not be able to beat Aunt Wang after complaining, so he kept holding back and didn't dare to say anything.

"Okay, don't hold back the pain by yourself, the village chief said, he will help us to demand compensation from that factory."

Li Er smoked the cigarette to the end in one breath, threw the cigarette butt on the ground viciously, waited until the smoke was exhausted, and then comforted his wife.

Aunt Wang nodded lightly, but remained silent. She raised her wrist to look at the new watch her daughter had just bought. The dial showed that it was eight o'clock. It's like waiting for someone.

Li Er also stretched his neck to look up the road, muttering:

"Hiss... How long did you say the village chief has been gone, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Aunt Wang finally spoke, her voice also full of anxiety:
"That's right, didn't you say that you went there early in the morning, and you should bring someone back by now."

In fact, not only Aunt Wang and her old man think so, even the village head thinks so. He originally planned to go to the TV station earlier so that he could bring people back earlier. People in the village have working hours, and when the time is not up, they don't even open the door, so even if the village head gets up early, he can only squat at the door of his office early and wait for someone.

At 10:08, 30 minutes to go, there was finally voices in the corridor. Two young men came to the door of the office with a bag of buns each. They saw an old man sitting cross-legged on the ground. Thinking about it, how aggrieved it is to make this old man block the door early in the morning?
Seeing someone coming, the village chief wanted to stand up excitedly, but his legs and scripts were not good enough. In addition, after squatting for so long before, he couldn't get up after struggling for a long time.

The two young men hurried forward to support the village chief, trying to take him into the office and sit down. After the village chief stood up, he waved his hands repeatedly, grabbed one of the young men and hurriedly urged him:
"Don't go in, you hurry up and go with me, the people in our village are waiting for you, if you don't go, they don't want to live!"

The two young men were taken aback by the village head's half-truth and half-intimidation. Once they heard that it was a matter of the whole village, and then they heard that some people didn't want to live anymore. The two young men felt that this matter was indeed not small, and it might be quite serious. , But no matter how serious the matter is, you can't just go there blindfolded like this. You have to figure out the matter, at least report to the leader, and then bring the equipment before you can leave. There is really no rush at this moment.

The two of them thought so, so you hurriedly appease the village chief:

"Grandpa, no matter how urgent the matter is, you have to figure it out, don't you? You'd better go in and talk to us, so that we can make preparations. Otherwise, we'll just go there and not prepare anything. Isn't it a bad thing?"

"Yes, sir, don't worry, the matter is not in a hurry. If you really need help, we will never refuse, but you have to figure out the matter. In this way, you go in first, and our leader will take care of you in a while." Here you go, tell him about the matter later, he will definitely arrange it right away, and there will be no delay."

Maybe it was the young man's reassurance that worked, or maybe it was their calmness that made the village head feel reliable. The village head sighed softly, finally decided to listen to what he said, and followed into the house.

"Come on, uncle, haven't you had breakfast yet? Have a steamed stuffed bun first."

The young man gave the village head two steamed buns from his breakfast, and then poured the village head a glass of water.

The village chief took the bun gratefully. Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, he felt that they would definitely help, and his heart was slightly relieved.

At about 45:[-], the office was almost full. The village head asked one person on the left, who was not a leader, and asked one person on the right, who was not yet a leader. He was so anxious that he couldn't sit still again.

Seeing that the old man was in a hurry, a girl smiled and poured him another glass of water, and said to the village head like a silver bell:

"Don't worry, old man. Our leader will be here soon. You can drink another glass of water and talk to him later."

The village chief took it with thanks. Before the cup was brought to his mouth, he saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes coming in from the door.

"This must be the leader!"

The village chief's mind tightened, he stood up and went towards the middle-aged man, holding his hand and not letting go, which really scared him.

The village head was right. This person is indeed the leader. After everyone explained it, the leader finally figured out what the old man was here for. Hearing the village head's somewhat excited narration, the leader frowned, realizing that this It's really not a trivial matter among neighbors, it might be serious.

"Well, sir, don't worry, I'll find a few people to go to the village with you."

The leader appeased the village head, looked up and scanned the office, and then pointed out three people:

"Yongzi, Xiao Cheng, Yu Yu."

"To!"

The three young men stood up in response, knowing that today's matter fell on their shoulders.

"The three of you will go with the uncle, bring good things, and make records," the leader arranged in an orderly manner, "When you go this time, remember two things. First, investigate the matter clearly. Second, you must Ensure your own safety, be smart, don't do it stupidly, Yongzi, especially you, think more before doing things!"

Listening to the leader's lecture, the three of them laughed instead, and it seemed that this was not the first time they had been "trained" by the leader.

"What are you laughing at?" The leader pretended to be stern, and reprimanded softly, "Did you hear that?"

"I heard it!" The three of them responded in unison, and then went around to prepare the equipment.

The village chief looked at the vigor that filled the room, and sincerely praised: "There are no weak soldiers under the Titans!"

Hearing this, the leader turned his head in surprise:
"Hey, uncle, have you ever read a book?"

"..."

What do you mean, we are also the village head anyway, how can this cultural person look down on others, the village head is a little depressed.

The leader knew that what he said was not pretty, so he hurriedly made up for it with a smile:

"No, no, sir, I don't mean anything else, don't think about it."

He rolled his eyes, thinking that he had to quickly find a topic to divert this matter away, and then said:
"Well, sir, while they are still preparing, think about what else you want to add. Let's explain the matter clearly to prevent any accidents."

The village chief nodded and went through the matter in his mind. He looked at the leader and hesitated for a long time, but he didn't dare to tell the leader about the fight that day. He just emphasized how dirty the lake is now, and the villagers are now How at a loss, how the crops in the field are anxiously waiting for water, talking for a long time, and relying on people's livelihood.

The leader didn't hear anything new after listening for a long time, and felt that there should be nothing else to add. After talking to the village chief, he went into his office.

The village chief stood at the door waiting for the three young men, always feeling uneasy, but thinking that everyone in the village was still waiting for him, he smacked his lips a few times to suppress the guilt in his heart.
