"What about the old branch secretary and the others?" Xu Erhua asked.

"The old Party Secretary and Mr. Tang are all fine, but the other villagers and educated youth are not. We don't know those people, so we don't want them to be plotted against again."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You should also be careful not to be spotted by Liu Yue when you go out. When you were talking to Xiao Zhuang's mother today, I saw Liu Yue staring at you." Xu Erhua reminded Li Tingyun.

Li Tingyun wrote this down, but Liu Yue certainly would not have thought that someone would drive over to pick her up.

After a tiring day, they both went back to rest.

…

Because he was worried that Liu Yue would follow him, Li Tingyun went to Xiao Zhuang's house before dawn the next day.

Xiaozhuang's mother and father were so excited that they couldn't sleep last night and got up early in the morning.

Seeing Li Tingyun knocking on the door so early, Xiaozhuang's mother invited him in.

"Erhua said that Liu Yue was staring at us and talking yesterday. You go eat something and we will leave the village and find a place to hide. My friend said he won't be here until after nine o'clock, and we can't stand under that big tree." Li Tingyun told Xiaozhuang's mother the reason why he came here early in the morning.

Xiaozhuang's mother packed up and hurried out.

"No, Xiaozhuang's mother, you need to eat something. We don't know how long it will take to get busy." Li Tingyun pulled her back.

After hearing what Li Tingyun said, Xiao Zhuang's father ran to the kitchen to cook noodles.

Xiao Zhuang's mother quickly ate a large bowl of food and then left with Li Tingyun.

Li Tingyun took Xiao Zhuang's mother around and left the village, bypassing the educated youth site and Liu Yue's residence.

Outside the village is the road leading to the city, with woods on both sides, making it easy to find a place to hide.

The two found a place where they could observe the shuttle bus stop and waited there for two hours.

However, before eight o'clock, Luo Shan and Yao Ling drove out of the village, and at this time, the shuttle bus also drove over.

That annoying Liu Yue really came. She hadn't seen Li Tingyun and Xiao Zhuang's mother for a long time. She was a little anxious and even glanced at the car.

Luo Shan drove the car not far from the shuttle bus, she opened the car window, and the two of them stared at the entrance of the village.

"Shanshan, are we here too early?" Yao Ling felt that they had come too early, but Luo Shan was just impatient and she couldn't persuade her.

"If you're sleepy, just take a nap. I'll watch you." Luo Shan wasn't sleepy at all. If Yao Ling hadn't dragged her here, she would have come here last night.

In the woods, Li Tingyun saw Luo Shan's car, but also saw Liu Yue.

"This haunting thing is so annoying." Xiao Zhuang's mother was furious.

Li Tingyun frowned and thought for a moment, then pointed a little ahead and said, "Run a little further ahead. The car is about to turn around and go the other direction. I'll ask her to pull over and you can get in."

"Okay!" Xiaozhuang's mother ran forward obediently.

When Xiaozhuang's mother was out of sight, Li Tingyun took out a headscarf from the space, wrapped his head tightly, then walked carefully to the side of the car, opened the back door and climbed in.

When Luo Shan heard the sound, she turned her head and saw Li Tingyun squatting behind her. She was stunned for a moment.

"Sister Shan, please turn the car around and drive to the side. I have a friend who hasn't gotten on the bus yet." Li Tingyun lowered his voice a few degrees.

At this time, Yao Ling had fallen asleep and did not wake up even though the two of them were talking.

Luo Shanting turned the car around and walked along the side.

Li Tingyun stared outside intently, and when he walked a little further, he saw Xiaozhuang's mother.

"That's it, stop the car." she shouted.

Luo Shan stopped the car, Li Tingyun opened the door, and Xiao Zhuang's mother trotted over and got in the car.

After closing the door, Luo Shan stepped on the accelerator and drove the car faster.

Xiao Zhuang's mother still rode in this small car, and she was a little worried that she would dirty other people's cars. After sitting in it, she didn't dare to move.

Seeing Xiaozhuang's mother sitting stiffly, Li Tingyun took her hand and said, "Don't be nervous, they are my friends."

Yao Ling finally woke up this time. She turned around and saw Li Tingyun sitting in the back with a strange female comrade. She giggled and said, "Tingyun, is this your friend?"

"Yes, we will be neighbors then. This is Xiaozhuang's mother, this is Sister Ling, and the one driving is Sister Shan." Li Tingyun introduced everyone.

"Hello, I am Xiaozhuang's mother!" Xiaozhuang's mother also introduced herself.

Yao Ling could see that Xiao Zhuang's mother was very nervous, but even though she had worked in the neighborhood committee for so long, she was still very friendly.

She smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we might be neighbors in the future."

So that’s how it is!

Xiao Zhuang's mother felt a little relieved after hearing what Yao Ling said.

Along the way, we chatted and time passed quickly.

Li Tingyun didn't expect that Luo Shan could drive. There are few drivers these days, and female drivers are even harder to find.

Xiao Zhuang's mother was even more impressed by Luo Shan. It was the first time she had experienced a female driver.

It was only ten o'clock when the car bumped all the way to Haishi. Luo Shan drove directly to the vicinity of that street.

Afraid that driving in would be too conspicuous, Luo Shan parked the car in a friend's yard and then went to the street with Li Tingyun and others.

"Tingyun, the two houses you are looking at are priced similarly. You can go and take a look at the location and the layout. If you think it's suitable, I'll find someone for you." Yao Ling knew that they didn't have much time and wanted to resolve the matter quickly.

Li Tingyun followed Yao Ling to see two houses, one at the end of the street and the other only two doors away from Erniu's house.

Xiao Zhuang's mother liked the yard very much. Although it was not too big, it was beyond her limit, so she was very satisfied.

"Well, then I'd like to live closer to Erniu, so it will be more convenient." Xiaozhuang's mother expressed her opinion.

"Okay, then please help me get the person out, Sister Ling." Li Tingyun asked Xu Yaoling.

Yao Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Please help us look at two houses."

After listening to this, Li Tingyun looked at Luo Shan. This was too efficient.

No, they must have had their eyes on this before, but just hadn't made up their minds yet.

"Of course, let's go and take a look." She agreed readily.

Yao Ling took them to see a house on this street. It was the one that Luo Shan liked. The house was about the same size as Li Tingyun's.

Li Tingyun just went in and took a look around, then nodded.

After leaving the house here, Yao Ling took Li Tingyun to see the one she liked.

The apartment she liked was not on this street, but on the street next to it. The apartment was better than this one and the area was much larger.

However, Li Tingyun remembered that something happened to this house later, and in the end it couldn't even be rented out, which is what people often call a haunted house.

Yao Ling saw Li Tingyun looking around and then quickly walked out. She chased after him and asked, "Tingyun, this house is a little cheaper than over there, and the layout is pretty good too. What do you think?"
