Chapter 126 Er Gou
Wu Dongling was released that afternoon.
After receiving a call from the town, the public security department agreed to send Wu Dongling home first, taking into account the actual situation of the Wu family.
But after dealing with family affairs, I still have to undergo a month of legal education and be prepared to be summoned at any time.
The police car took her directly to the town hospital. Before she had digested the news that Wu Jiabao had drowned, she saw Wu Dashan lying unconscious in the ward.
Wu Dongling was already scared after spending a few days in the detention center. Fortunately, she had gone to the farm before and let Li Youshuan take advantage of her. Li Youshuan repeatedly promised her that he would never change his confession and would never tell her that she had instructed him to insult Wu Tong...
So no matter how the police asked her in the detention center, she insisted that she knew nothing and had done nothing. If they asked her again, she would just cry. Otherwise, she would not have been released so soon.
What they faced when the results came out was Wu Jiabao's death and Wu Dashan's coma.
She had never experienced such things before. She just felt terrified and her mind was blank. She wanted to cry but didn't know how to open her mouth. Then she was taken back home by the villagers in a daze.
It seemed that Wu Dashan would not wake up for a while. As the only one of the Wu family members who could still move, she had to go back and deal with her brother's affairs first.
It was already dark when Wu Dongling arrived home. The door was wide open. Several uncles from the Wu family were setting up an incense table in the main room. Second uncle Wu Dajun said that he had gone to Dayan Village to pick up Jiabao and might not be back until midnight.
Wu Dongling was in a daze and didn't know what to do. She was directed by several elders to do this and that. She worked aimlessly until midnight and was exhausted.
The Wu family members couldn't stand it any longer. It was already late at night and there was still no one there. No messenger came either. They kept muttering "Unlucky, unlucky..." and told Wu Dongling to notify them when she saw anyone, and then they all dispersed.
Wu Dongling was left standing alone in the room, guarding a kerosene lamp. It was pitch dark all around and she felt cold all over.
After shivering for a long time, she finally thought of boiling some hot water and lighting a brazier. Unexpectedly, when she went to the backyard to move firewood, an arm reached out and covered her mouth, dragged her behind the firewood pile, and whispered viciously:
"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you."
Wu Dongling was so frightened that two and a half of her three souls were lost. Her already trembling body was shaking even more with fear.
The man strangled her neck with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, "Answer whatever I ask. As long as you listen to me, I won't hurt you!"
Wu Dongling nodded tremblingly, but she felt that the voice behind her sounded more and more familiar.
"Where did your brother hide the treasure? Tell me! I'll let you go if you tell me!"
Wu Dongling waited until the hand covering her mouth loosened slightly before she mustered up the courage to look back. Although the backyard was dark, some light from the main room could penetrate. She asked timidly:
"Brother Ergou, is that you?"
Luo Ergou is also from Yunshan Village. He went out with Wu Jiafu a few years ago. It seems that he did not follow Wu Jiafu back this time. I didn’t expect to see him now.
"Sister Dong Ling, it's me! Don't blame me! Brother Fu stole our boss's treasure, otherwise we wouldn't have chased him here. The sooner you hand it over, the sooner the matter will be over. I don't want to hurt you!"
Wu Dongling had no idea what treasure it was. She was already shocked and scared. Then she heard that Wu Jiafu had stolen someone else's things. Now he not only chased her but also put the blame on her. She only heard the words "boss" and "we", which meant that it was not just Luo Ergou. What should she do...
He was so frightened and hadn't eaten for most of the day and night. He was already hungry and weak, and his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
——————
Not far behind Wu Dashan's house there are a few old earthen houses. They used to be the village committee of Yunshan Village. Later, when the village committee was rebuilt into brick houses, they moved away and these houses became vacant.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yaping walked towards the old houses with several books she had collected from the educated youth yesterday.
The students in the school were on winter vacation, and the literacy classes that had been held some time ago had also ended, so she proposed to the village to set up another library.
In addition to old newspapers collected in the commune and old textbooks collected in the school, she also collected some old books and magazines from the educated youth and put them in the library to make it look presentable. Naturally, she became the manager of the lending room.
In fact, apart from a few male members and educated youth who were attentive, no one borrowed books. But for her, it was a different way to earn work points, so she didn’t have to worry about being assigned to work during the student holidays. Secondly, the commune thought highly of her move, thinking that she was dedicated to the literacy work and praised her at the year-end summary meeting.
Kill two birds with one stone!
Zhang Yaping walked while thinking confidently that she was the only one worthy of Brother Dongyang and she was the only one who loved Brother Dongyang with all her heart. One day, Brother Dongyang would find that she was the only one who had enough ability and wisdom to stand by his side.
The new neighborhood committee in the village was built a few years ago and is closer to the road to the town. The old neighborhood committees were all mud houses, and the location was remote, so they had been idle. When Zhang Yaping proposed to open a library, Secretary Wu approved one of the old houses, which had been empty anyway.
Secretary Wu disagreed at first, thinking it was unnecessary. Illiterate villagers would not borrow books to read, and literate students and educated youth looked down on those old textbooks and books. The few literate people left in the village were usually busy earning work points, so they had no time to borrow books to read.
But Zhang Yaping repeatedly emphasized that it was a response to the call of the county and the commune, and he got used to it.
It doesn't cost any money anyway, and Zhang Zhiqing has the enthusiasm to arrange it. He can also add a little item to the year-end summary report, so why not do it.
As the New Year was approaching, no one came to the library. Zhang Yaping prepared to put the books in order and locked the door for a few days to celebrate the New Year peacefully.
Among the three mud houses, only the one in the middle did not leak. It was used as a library and was locked properly.
Zhang Yaping took out the key and was about to unlock the door, but she saw that the door to the right was tightly closed. It was originally an empty room. She remembered that when she came here two days ago, the door was still wide open. Because the door latch was broken, it could not be closed tightly unless someone pushed it from the inside or pulled it from the outside.
Originally it had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't help being cunning...
In this remote countryside, most people don't lock their doors, but this abandoned house's door is tightly shut. There must be something shameful going on...
Zhang Yaping's first reaction was that someone was having a secret meeting in there. There had been more than one or two times that young people in the village had been caught secretly dating. This place was a good choice. No one would come here easily.
She reached out and pushed, and sure enough, the door was blocked tightly.
Zhang Yaping became more certain in her heart and deliberately raised her voice:
"Ah! Who is in there? Why is he at the door?"
There was still no movement from inside the door.
She pushed the door, but it wouldn't budge, so she thought to herself, forget it. It might be a little inconvenient inside. After all, she was still a girl, and she was afraid of seeing something she shouldn't see. But she didn't want to let the people inside go, and wanted to scare them again.
"Oh no! Could something have happened? I still have to call a few people over to take a look!"
As she spoke, she was about to open the lock next to her, not wanting to bother with what was going on inside the door. But then she heard a noise behind the door, and sure enough, there was someone inside.
Zhang Yaping felt amused, but didn't want to miss the show, so she reached out and pushed the door again, and it actually opened.
She thought that since it was open, she might as well confirm it, so she took a step inside and raised her voice, "Then I'll come in..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a big hand covered his mouth and dragged him inside. At the same time, his neck felt cold, and a dagger was pressed against his neck. A low, hoarse voice said viciously:
"There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to hell but you insist on breaking in!"
