Chunxiao giggled, "I forgot that today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. Look how we spent this year, ah!" She shook her head.
"Aunt, you want to build a new house? What kind of house do you want?"
Chunxiao drank the soup and said, "I have to think about the house this time. I must build a style that I like the most." She is rich now and is not afraid to spend money. The most important thing is to make her like it, so she has to draw the blueprints carefully.
Dongsheng came back with Yan Dashan and others. Before he reached Yan Dashan's house, he was surrounded by villagers.
"Dongsheng, I heard you went to catch the kidnapper. Did you catch him?"
"Dongsheng, why are you back at this time? Tell us what happened yesterday."
"Dongsheng, I know you're a reliable young man. Come visit me when you have time."
"Uncles and aunts, we still need to go back and discuss what happened yesterday. How about we talk to you again after this matter has settled down? My parents are still waiting for news." Yan Dahe put on a smile and sent the people away, then took Dongsheng back to the yard.
Yan Bangfa and his friends were originally discussing in the yard about demolishing the houses at the end of the village. When they saw Dashan and Dahe coming back with Dongsheng, they all stood up at once.
"Dongsheng, are you back?" Zhou went to greet him.
"Auntie, is Chunxiao okay?"
Chunxiao is sleeping in the house at the moment, and Xiaohua is doing needlework beside her.
"She's fine. She said you saved her yesterday. Did you take her to the clinic?"
"Mom, don't be anxious. Let him come in and sit down and talk." Tian reminded from the side.
"Mom, I'll go tell Uncle Shizhu that Dongsheng is back. He was so worried when he didn't see him this morning."
"Dad, let me go." Shuwen got up and ran out of the yard.
Yan Bingfa pulled him into the main hall. "Dongsheng, tell me what happened yesterday. I'm still feeling uneasy. We were really lucky to have you. You're our family's benefactor." Yan Bingfa looked at Yan Dashan and Yan Dahe on the side. "Did you meet in town? Did you report it to the police?"
"Dad, Dongsheng reported to the police yesterday at midnight. One of the people on the other end escaped, but the others were caught." Yan Dahe smiled.
Everyone looked at Dongsheng in surprise.
"Chunxiao's money has also been found. The township government said it will be returned after the case is closed." Dongsheng sat in the middle, looking at the Yan family. "Last night, when I came back from outside, I took a detour and passed by the end of the village. I happened to see the house on fire. When I got there, I saw Xiaohua lying in the yard. The house was already on fire, but I didn't see Chunxiao. Later, I rode Chunxiao's horse to the village to notify people to put out the fire, and then went to look for people. Halfway along, I actually found wheel tracks, and I followed them all the way. It was too dark to see clearly, so it took some time, but fortunately I finally ran into her. When I met her, she had already escaped, and fainted when she saw me. I sent her to the hospital, and then notified the government to look for people nearby. That's it."
He explained the very complicated process in just one sentence.
"We've found everyone, so how come one of them ran away? Will he come back to cause trouble for Chunxiao?" Zhou was extremely worried.
"Don't worry, Auntie. There's only one left. The authorities will try the person they caught and they'll catch him soon."
Yan Bingfa shook his hand gratefully and said, "It's really thanks to you this time. When Chunxiao wakes up, we'll go to your house to thank you."
Dongsheng felt a little embarrassed by the thanks and scratched his head. "It's my duty, uncle. It's all my duty."
Xu Shizhu came over quickly and said nothing when he saw Dongsheng. He just looked at the Yan family and sighed.
Zhou knew that the old man must blame his son for neglecting his father in order to help others, so she hurriedly helped Dongsheng to speak well of him in front of Xu Shizhu, saying that if it weren't for Dongsheng, Chunxiao would be in great trouble, and that Dongsheng had done a favor to their family.
"Mrs. Zhou, this is what I should do. I'm just angry that this guy didn't even leave me a message when he had something to say, making me worry for nothing. Okay, let's go back." Dongsheng said goodbye to the Yan family and followed Xu Shizhu back obediently.
Chunxiao only found out that Dongsheng had been there when she woke up. When she heard her family say that someone had escaped, she wanted to confirm whether Sanjiang had been caught. Her family forgot to ask about this, so that evening, Chunxiao went to Dongsheng's house accompanied by Yan Bingfa.
Dongsheng's house has been renovated. Although it still has the same structure as before, it has been completely replaced with brick and tile. The yard has also been renovated and looks very neat and clean, not like the place where two grown men live. Dongsheng was cooking in the kitchen, and Xu Shizhu sat at the door and chatted with him casually.
Seeing Yan Bingfa and his daughter coming over, Xu Shizhu hurriedly invited them into the house to sit down.
"Chunxiao, are you feeling better? I heard from Dongsheng that your hand was injured."
"It's okay. I applied some medicine. It's just a minor skin injury. Sorry, uncle, I didn't choose the right time. I just wanted to come over and ask Dongsheng a few words."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shizhu hurriedly called Dongsheng over and said, "Chunxiao has something to ask you. Please sit down. I'll go." Then he went to take over the kitchen.
Dongsheng looked at her hand and asked, "Is it feeling better after applying the medicine?"
Everyone thought her hand injury was serious, but it was actually nothing. She smiled and shook her hand, "I told you it was just a superficial injury, it's nothing." Then she looked at him, "Did you know that Sanjiang was among the people there yesterday?"
Dongsheng nodded. "He's in jail now. Don't worry, they've done more than just this. I'm afraid they'll spend the rest of their lives in prison."
It turned out that he was indeed caught, "Then who ran away?"
"The authorities said that the one with the mole on his face that you told them about before is their leader, and he's very cunning."
