How to become a full-time hunter

It was late at night, but there were many people who couldn't sleep.

"Old man, that hunter is really stubborn..." the hospital director said with emotion.

"Hard? How can you be tough in front of a hunter?" The old police chief showed a sad smile.

The two people actually got together to discuss something in secret.

"Ed, have we known each other for more than fifty years, right?" The old policeman stared at a moth that kept rushing towards the incandescent lamp. “What a great town it was back then.”

The dean, known as Ed, shrank back and curled up into the armchair as much as possible.

"Yes, Jack. At that time, the people were simple and carefree, and the whole town was peaceful. When did it start to change?"

Director Jack, still staring at the moth, repeated it unconsciously. "When did it start to change?"

"Don't look at Jack, this moth will never succeed. Light bulbs are a luxury product in this small town, and few can install them."

Jack snorted, "Don't forget, I have them in the police station too."

After that, the two of them laughed together.

"Ed, did that hunter really not make any conditions?" the old sheriff asked unwillingly.

"Old man, since he has rejected you, how could he agree to me?" The dean closed his eyes and whispered: "As you get older, you will feel particularly uncomfortable if you don't sleep, and you can't sleep."

"Yes, we are all old, so I don't want to make any more mistakes. At least we must see the changes in the town before we die!" The old police chief suddenly became excited.

The dean continued to shrink and did not answer.

"Ed, we have been wrong for so many years! Do you want to continue to be wrong?"

"If I thought it was right, I wouldn't call you to tell you the news about the hunter." The dean said with his eyes closed, his tone revealing helplessness. "But what can we two old bones do?"

"Ed, I'm so grateful to have known you. You've always understood me all these years, and I've made my decision. I'm leaving, old man."

The old sheriff stood up, took off his hat, bowed slightly to the dean, then turned and left.

"Strike an egg against a rock!" The dean's voice suddenly came from behind.

"It's better than doing nothing. I'm willing to die for the future of this town!"

The old sheriff didn't look back, paused for a moment, closed the door and left.

"well……"

After he left, Ed opened his eyes and opened the drawer under the table and took out a photo.

The photo shows them both when they were young.

At that time, they were all young and had big dreams.

Later, one of them became a doctor and the other a martial artist, and embarked on their way out of the town. After running around for more than ten years, I finally learned something.

Back in the town, Ed became a doctor and Jack joined the police force. They wanted to make the town develop better.

Then everything changed.

"If, your mother is also an outsider, right?"

"Brother, how do you know?" Zhangjia Ruo asked in confusion. "My mother never told me about the past. I only heard about it from others when I was a child."

"My mother was from outside. She came to the Totli area after meeting my father. Later she had me and my younger brothers and sisters. Later, my father passed away..."

"Wait a minute." Lu Man interrupted the boy's narration. "Why did your father pass away? Do you still remember?"

Zhangjia Ruo lowered his head and thought for a while, showing a sad expression. "I was only six years old at that time, my sister was two years old, and my brother was just born. My father has always been very healthy in my mind."

"It seems that I participated in some kind of rally. When I came back, I was bedridden. It didn't take long... Two years later, I saw that my mother was really tired, so I went to work outside, hoping to help my mother..."

Lu Man patted the boy on the shoulder and said softly: "It's all over. In those two years, didn't your mother tell you any news? About your father."

"No." Zhangjia Ruo shook his head.

"Okay, I understand. You should rest quickly." Lu Man made a preliminary judgment in his mind.

Some kind of change did occur in this small town, and the death of the boy's father was inseparable from this change.

‘Mianying is indeed smart. In this conflict-ridden Sanguan area, it was impossible to conduct a large-scale search. He was hiding here and was at home like a duck in water. ’

"Ruo, you will take good care of your mother in the hospital today, do you understand?"

Lu Man touched the sleepy Zhang Jia Ruo.

"Big brother, but I am your guide, I can't work..."

"We'll wait until your mother gets better." Lu Man interrupted the boy and got up to go find the doctor.

Zhang Jia Ruo looked at Lu Man's back and said firmly: "Brother, I will definitely be able to help you in the future!"

"Doctor, have there been any patients with eye problems in recent years, such as those who had their eyes taken away or who had vision problems?"

The doctor was surprised when he saw it was Lu Mann, 'Even the dean sent this guy out respectfully last night. Who is he?' ’

"Uh... Well, a considerable number of patients are unwilling to come to the hospital, so we don't know exactly how many patients there are. However, we have backups of patient files over the years."

"Okay, take me to see it! Oh, by the way, are there any children or adults around here who are particularly good at performing puppets?"

"Performing puppets... I remember there seems to be someone in the next town who can do it, but not in our town. Oh, here we are, this is the archives room." The doctor said as he walked, took out the key and opened the door to the archives room.

"If you have finished, remember to lock the door. I put the key here." The doctor said, ready to leave. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Well, if possible, I hope you can say a few good words for me in front of the dean..."

Lu Man waved his hand, and the doctor suddenly came to his senses and left quickly.

Looking at the pile of files, Lu Man smiled bitterly. "This is really a huge project."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Man finally finished looking through all the files.

"There are a total of eight patients who are suspected of having their eyes taken away. Six of them are in other towns, and two are in this town."

"Well, since there is news about the puppeteer in the next town, let's go to the next town to investigate first, and then check the patients in this town."

Making up his mind, Lu Man rushed to another town without hesitation.

——————

"It was a mistake not to bring Zhang Jia Ruo with me." Lu Man muttered.

The reason was simple. Lu Man found three patients who had lost their eyes in the afternoon, but they all couldn't communicate at all because of the language barrier.

"When I met the doctor, the dean and others, they could understand what I said, which made me think that most people in this place could communicate. I didn't expect that the people I met were exceptions. There are more people in the Toteli area who can only speak dialect."

"Pa pa pa pa pa!"

The applause and cheers from a distance caught Lu Man's attention.

A group of people seemed to be gathered in a circle to watch a performance. Lu Man's heart moved, and he quickly squeezed through the crowd and got in.

"Lulu lu——"

The noisy sound startled a black horse, and it hit its companion head-on.

The two-horse truck was completely out of control, and the fully loaded goods smashed directly into the crowd.
