The jeep drove all the way towards the village on the mountain until it could no longer go up the mountain, and then it found a fork in the road and stopped.
The car door opened and a man in a black cotton coat walked out.
He studied the map in his hand carefully and walked up the mountain with firm steps.
Not long after walking, I heard a panting sound coming from behind.
"Xu, Comrade Xu Lang, wait a minute..."
Hearing the person behind him calling Xu Lang's name, Wang Tianyuan stopped, frowned and slowly turned around.
Zhu Wangdi finally ran up to him, supported herself on her knees with her hands, took a few deep breaths, and was about to look up to speak.
"Xu, Comrade Xu..."
When he looked up, he saw Wang Tianyuan's unfamiliar face and was stunned.
"Who are you?"
"No, not Xu Lang?"
"He, where are the others?"
Thinking of Su Man’s warning and the reports in the newspaper.
Zhu Wangdi's face turned pale and she took a step back.
Xu Lang, wasn’t he killed by them?
This, is it her turn?
Zhu Wangdi wanted to run, but her legs were too weak to run.
Wang Tianyuan didn't have that much patience, so he just opened his mouth coldly and briefly introduced his identity.
"Xu Lang can't come, so I'll be responsible for this matter from now on. Just call me Comrade Wang. Where is Gu Tianxing?"
Zhu Wangdi's mind raced, and she didn't answer Wang Tianyuan.
But asked.
"What happened to Xu Lang? Is he injured? Or is he sick?"
"Comrade Li, do you have anything to tell me?"
At that time, Xu Lang said that Li Genshen would at most let Gu Tianxing live until the New Year!
Wang Tianyuan looked at Zhu Wangdi unhappily and interrupted her.
"Comrade Li will not contact you alone. If he has anything to say, I will convey it."
"If there's nothing else to do for now, go cut off one of Gu Tianxing's fingers and give it to me."
"Don't ask any other questions, just do your job."
If it was Xu Lang standing here today, perhaps Zhu Wangdi would not have thought too much about it.
But unfortunately, the person who came was a stranger.
Su Man's warning echoed in her mind over and over again, and she couldn't help but think.
Xu Lang must be dead, as he was so trusted by Li Genshen.
If he's gone just like that, then what's the point of her being a relative of Li Genshen?
Who knows when she will be buried somewhere in this mountain.
No one will know until it rots into bones.
Looking at the white mountains, Zhu Wangdi couldn't help but shudder.
"What are you standing there for? Lead the way."
"Cut off your finger and give it to me. I'm in a hurry to go back!"
Zhu Wangdi came to her senses and forced a smile.
"Comrade Wang! Comrade Xu used to contact me."
"It's rare to see new faces coming in and out of the village all year round, and now it's your turn."
"Everyone will definitely have to ask a lot of questions, and the road back to the village is still a long way."
"If I run into someone along the way, it would be hard to explain."
"Look, how about you wait here for me and I'll bring you Gu Tianxing's finger?"
Wang Tianyuan thought so too and decided to avoid showing up if possible.
"I'll wait for you in town. Come find me when you're done."
After saying that, he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Wangdi.
"Um, do you have any money on you? Give me some, I'm out of money."
When Li Genshen came, he also said that if Zhu Wangdi wanted money, he should give her some.
Wang Tianyuan took out a few Great Unity notes from his pocket and handed them over.
"Hurry back!"
Just a few great unity cards are certainly not enough.
But, it's better than nothing.
Zhu Wangdi stuffed the money into her pocket and turned to walk up the mountain.
"Okay, you wait in town."
"The roads are difficult to travel on when it snows, so it's common to lose a day."
"If I don't come down the mountain, you will have to wait two more days."
Wang Tianyuan looked at the white mountains, frowned, and didn't say much.
Turned around, went down the mountain and returned to town.
————————
At this time, Zheng Biaozi also returned to the town hospital and told Su Man what he had learned.
"There are indeed checkpoints. It's hard to even leave town, let alone the capital!"
"Sister-in-law, how about I send you out first?"
Zheng Biaozi just went to the checkpoint outside to make sure that the person they wanted to stop was Gu Tianxing, not Su Man.
There is a photo of Gu Tianxing posted there, and everything will be fine as long as Gu Tianxing doesn't leave the town.
Su Man glanced at Gu Tianxing. Although her face looked calm, there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes. She was obviously afraid of being abandoned by Su Man.
"No, I don't feel comfortable leaving Mom here alone..."
As he was speaking, he heard a commotion outside.
"Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor? Come and take a look at me! My hand is injured!"
It was Liu Hongxia's voice, and Su Man suddenly became alert.
He glanced at Zheng Biaozi and signaled him to go out and find a place to hide.
"Biaozi, don't come out later."
After Zheng Biaozi left, she asked Gu Tianxing to stay in the ward first.
Only then did she walk out of the ward with her belly bulging.
A middle-aged man helped Liu Hongxia into the hospital. There was a wound on the back of Liu Hongxia's hand that was bleeding.
However, it doesn't look serious.
A doctor came out, took a look, and frowned slightly.
"It's just a minor flesh wound, just go get it disinfected."
"I have other more seriously ill patients here. Please follow the nurse..."
This attitude naturally made Liu Hongxia very dissatisfied.
"What's your attitude? What do you mean by a more seriously ill patient?"
"If I get a scar on my hand, can you take responsibility?"
