Chapter 214 Chapter 214 Idiot

It had been a while since he came back from Luohe Brigade. Lin Yue was still worried about Ah Hui and Uncle Zhang. After selling those ginsengs, he carefully considered his wording and wrote two letters to Uncle Zhang's family.

To be honest, writing letters is really inconvenient, and it takes many days to go back and forth. She would rather make a phone call, but now is different from the past. No one is willing to say too much on the phone. They want to be as concise as possible, just like sending a telegram. It is impossible to make things clear.

The one who replied was Brother Zhang San, who was a lively man. He wrote a letter of several pages, thanking Lin Yue and Zhang Yuandong for helping them sell the ginseng at a good price, and also talked about Ah Hui in general.

The details of their separation were not mentioned, but after they had the money from selling ginseng, their family lived in even greater harmony than before the separation.

Uncle Zhang divided the money into six parts, one for Zhang Yuandong in addition to the five siblings. Zhang Yuandong did not want the money, and Uncle Zhang did not force it on him, but just kept it for future use.

The price of wild ginseng was relatively high, so Lin Yue kept the seeds in the wooden box and added some to the money he earned from selling ginseng. It was a huge sum of money in total.

Although the money was not enough to buy a house, the brothers felt it was unexpected wealth and had no objection to Uncle Zhang's distribution, even though they knew it would be divided among their two married sisters and Zhang Yuandong, an "outsider". Except for a few sisters-in-law who grumbled behind their backs, no one raised any objections.

Brother Zhang San's letter did not mention these things, so Lin Yue didn't know about them. Even the second sister-in-law who had caused the most trouble before didn't say much this time. She just muttered about her sister-in-law Zhang Huilan a few times behind her back.

As for Ah Hui's affairs, Brother Zhang San only said that she had officially settled in Luohe Brigade and had held a wedding banquet with Zhao Feng.

Ah Hui was probably frightened, and she seldom left the house after she returned. Brother Zhang San only saw her once, at a banquet, and rarely saw her again after that.

Lin Yue was not too disappointed with the result. After all, he didn't find much information even about Liu Fang.

He knew what Lin Yue was worried about, so he came here specially today just to find an opportunity to talk about Zhang Yulan's sister. After investigation, he found that she did have a sister who married in Linshi and divorced just a few years ago, so this matter did match up.

Liu Fang didn't say anything else and played with the children for the whole morning, coaxing the children to circle around him and they were reluctant to let them go even when they were about to leave.

Seeing that he did not mention Ah Hui's matter, Lin Yue thought that the time was too short and he had not found many clues. After all, now is different from the future. There are no cameras on the road, and it will be much more troublesome to investigate the case. However, he did not expect that he secretly slipped a letter before he left.

After reading the letter, Lin Yue finally understood why he didn't tell him in person.

Ah Hui had been wandering for quite some time, so it was very difficult to investigate. All they found out was that she had a very bad life before. Liu Fang was even reluctant to write down the extent of her "bad life" in the letter, but added a sentence at the end of the letter, "Girls are all treasures. Lingling and Sisi must be educated from an early age so that they can learn to protect themselves."

Lin Yue could actually guess what she had been through, a mentally retarded vagrant, but the key point was that she was not bad looking. The worst thing was that no matter what happened to her, no one would seek justice for her.

Lin Yue held the letter in his hand with a frown on his face. Ah Hui would definitely not call the police to arrest those people on her own. She knew the laws at that time too well. She didn't know if the Public Security Bureau had any proactive measures. She hoped that they would not be let off easily.

Liu Fang was very good at entertaining children. As soon as he left, the four children all ran to give gifts. The noise outside was clearly the voices of these four little guys. Lin Yue didn't even need to go out to know that Lingling and Wanli must be bragging to their friends about how they saved a fool.

After the two came back from Uncle Zhang's house, they often boasted about it to others. Liu was here for the whole morning and heard several children talk about it three times. Even the little mushroom could be described vividly.

The children in the compound also gave them face, no matter how many times they heard it, they were very supportive. Their father was a great hero who defended his country, and almost all the children had a dream of being a hero, but they just regretted that they didn't have the opportunity to display it.

At this time, listening to Lingling and Wanli's exaggerated description of how they rescued a weak and idiotic person from the hands of a bastard and a second-rate person, each one was more enthusiastic than the other and would exclaim "Wow" from time to time.

A little girl asked: "She is so pitiful. Even though you saved her this time, she will still be bullied in the future. Can you ask the police to find her family?"

Wan Li said proudly: "She doesn't remember anything about the past and can't find her family. We took her to the Public Security Bureau to register, but she only remembered her name. But don't worry, Uncle Zhao has already married her. Although Uncle Zhao can't speak, he is a very good person and will not bully her!"

A group of children made various "Oh" sounds, and some even clapped and said "That's great". Lin Yue laughed when he heard it in the house.

What she didn't know was that she was not the only one who was secretly eavesdropping on the children's conversation. There was another person who was just passing by. He was attracted by some words and slowly followed the group of boastful children. He listened to the conversation patiently and left thoughtfully.

At this time, the black market has recovered. On the border, the grass has sprouted green, the river flows smoothly, and the scene is full of vitality.

The soldiers guarding the border finally took off their heavy winter clothes and walked in groups on the patrol line in the first rays of sunlight. The faint morning light shone on their dry, cracked and flaky faces, and occasionally one could see dark spots on their faces, which were caused by frostbite in winter.

Seven or eight young warriors came over from the opposite direction. They were chatting and laughing along the way, and occasionally even fighting. Although they were still in military uniforms, they were less serious, making people finally realize that they were still young people around 20 years old.

This group of young soldiers had just finished a night of duty and were returning from their shift. When they saw the patrolling soldiers, they immediately put away their unruly demeanor, stood up straight, and gave a standard military salute. After they walked a long way, they resumed their heated discussion.

"Hey, did you guys hear that Zhang Tuan was sent to the Eastern Front to participate in some kind of martial arts competition?"

"How could I not have heard of it? I even heard the inside information. It wasn't a martial arts competition at all. They were going to fight the Russians!"

A baby-faced soldier patted him on the back and said, "You're just a new recruit. What inside information do you know? You're bragging to the sky!"

Everyone laughed, and the soldier in front hurriedly explained: "I'm serious, not lying! My cousin is serving there, and he wrote to me two days ago to ask about it!"

After hearing this, everyone finally became interested and started to ask, "What's going on? Tell us now, don't waste time!"

The man scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, and stammered, "It's just that there are always Russians who come to my cousin's place to cause trouble, and we can't really do anything. Recently, we often dispatch special forces to assist. Our Zhang Tuan is very powerful. My cousin said that he can beat four or five Russians by himself and not lose. He is the most powerful among all of them."

There were occasional frictions on the border between the two countries, and neither side wanted to be the first to fire a gun, so they could only engage in close combat. Later on, everyone jokingly called it a "martial arts competition."

Some people don't believe it, "You can just brag, given the size of the Russians, there's no way we can beat them unless I'm trying to show off my power!"

The man in the lead retorted, "Don't make up stories. It's true that we couldn't beat him, but that was Zhang Tuan! Everyone has seen how powerful Zhang Tuan is. He was a ruthless man who intercepted an armored vehicle by himself. The Russians were all stunned."

The new recruits who had never seen it with their own eyes all stared wide-eyed, as if they were hearing some Arabian Nights fairy tale.

"Zhang Tuan is so powerful, how come I heard that he was transferred here because he committed a crime?"

"What crime? I heard that he was ostracized!"

The squad leader stopped walking, turned around and glared at them, then scolded them, "Don't talk too much about these things, have you all forgotten where this place is? If you don't want to stay here, just pack up and go home!"

Several people immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

The squad leader quickly scanned the team and asked, "Where's Donkey Egg? Where did he go?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally one of them said, "Okay, it seems like I'm going to release the water."

"Why does it take so long to drain the water?" The squad leader was about to scold again when he heard anxious voices coming from not far away: "Squad leader, quickly find someone to help, a fellow villager has injured his leg, someone come and help me!"

Not far away, a thin man was struggling to support a tall and burly man. The man looked to be about twenty years old, with dirty and messy hair and a full beard. His features were almost invisible. He put most of his body weight on the other person, with a frown on his face and a look of grievance.

Several people rushed over and helped him hold the man.

The squad leader asked: "Donkey, what happened to this fellow villager? Where did you find him?"

The man was tall and had been pressing Donkey down, almost knocking him down. Now he was finally freed. Donkey rubbed his sore shoulders and hands and explained, "Squad leader, I found him by the river. He twisted his foot and couldn't walk by himself, so I brought him back and wanted to send him to the sanitation room."

The squad leader nodded and asked kindly, "My fellow villager, why did you come to this border by yourself? It's dangerous here, you can't run around."

The man raised his head with a silly smile on his face, showing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth, and a clear line of saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth. He knew that the man in front of him was calling him, but he just ignored him. He turned his head away, leaving a proud and arrogant profile to the squad leader, then turned around and grinned foolishly, just making "Aba Aba" non-stop at the donkey, making it clear that he didn't want to answer the squad leader's question.

The squad leader was speechless. Donkey chuckled and said, "Squad leader, I just forgot to tell you that he is a fool and can't speak."

The squad leader was so angry that he fell backwards and cursed: "I think you are also a fool! Tell me, what's the situation? Why did this person run to such a remote place?"

Donkey scratched his head and gave a silly smile, "I don't know about that. When I saw him, he was lying on the ground with his ankle swollen. He must have sprained his ankle."

I don't know what the other words provoked the man, he struggled to break free from the donkey's support, fell to the ground and rolled around on the ground.

Donkey Egg shouted excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, squad leader, look, he was like this when I found him, rolling on the ground, and I had a hard time coaxing him to stand up. Silly Egg is great, you imitated it so well!"

Monitor: "...You know him, his name is Shadan?"

Donkey scratched his head, "I don't know, isn't that the name of all idiots?"

The squad leader tapped him on the forehead and said angrily, "Go, go, go back!"

Just as Donkey Egg was about to catch up, he heard the squad leader turn around and say, "You, take your brother to the bathroom, and then be responsible for sending the person home safely!"

Donkey Egg shouted anxiously: "Squad Leader, he is a fool, where can I find his family!"

The squad leader took two steps, turned back and scolded, "If you can't find it, won't you send it to the police station?" Thinking of the boy's behavior, he was still worried and pointed to someone to help, "Gangzi, you go with him, don't let that boy get sold!"

The warrior named Gangzi stepped out, answered, went over, grabbed Ludan's neck, and took the two of them away, leaving Ludan with a string of curses.
