Ma Cheng was not very old, but he rushed forward with great ferocity, which really scared the masked man. He was kicked to the ground without paying attention, and Xie Jiao fell from his hands immediately.
The two men were fighting. Ma Cheng had a stick and had the upper hand, but the gangster was not ambiguous and kicked his stick away in a short while.
After seeing clearly that he was just a young boy, he started beating him with his fists.
Xie Jiao, who was frightened by the situation, also reacted and saw that the boy who saved her had been pinned down and beaten.
In a hurry, he picked up a few large stones on the ground and threw them hard at the bad guys' heads.
She actually hit a piece of it. The man cried out "Ouch!", covered his head and stopped. When he touched it, he found that he was bleeding.
Ma Cheng, who was lying on the ground with a bloody head, took advantage of this opportunity to grab the stick that he had just let go of.
He struck the man's head with a stick, using all his strength in his hand.
The man did not hesitate either. He quickly dodged and used one arm to block in panic.
As a result, the stick broke his arm. How could he catch the girl? He gritted his teeth in pain, stood up, covered his arm and ran away quickly.
Xie Jiao sat down on the ground. She was frightened and covered her mouth, crying uncontrollably.
Ma Cheng struggled to get up, glanced at her, and ignored her. He was in pain all over and walked unsteadily. He hurriedly took the path behind to go home.
Xie Jiao cried for a while, then came to her senses. She also knew that she had to leave here quickly for fear that the bad guys would come back.
She gritted her teeth, endured the pain in her feet, and moved towards the village entrance little by little.
It was not until he saw his parents running from the fields to pick him up that he finally put his heart at ease and was carried back home by his father.
The grandparents also came out, dug out some medicine and applied it on her red and swollen ankle.
Xie Shuangping did not delay any longer and said, "Ma Cheng saved her. It sounds like he got punched a lot. I have to go check it out."
He turned around and said to his wife, "Daqiao, my family bought a can of malted milk last time. Please bring it to me and add a few pounds of white flour."
Zhou Daqiao went to get something. The other person saved her child, so according to the rule, she had to give something as a thank you.
Xie Shuangping took a small basket with his things and some medicine and went to the cowshed.
When we arrived at the home of the Ma Cheng siblings and explained our purpose, we saw that the child's body was already bandaged all over.
In fact, he came right after Lian Xiaomin left.
She put down everything she had brought and thanked Ma Cheng for not holding a grudge and for saving Xie Jiao.
After asking a few questions about whether the injury was serious, Ma Cheng was quite strong-willed and said it was okay and that he just needed to lie down for a few days, and didn't say much more.
Xie Ling from the Xie family, and her mother, had provided food to his younger sister several times when food was most scarce in the winter. He remembered all of this and now felt that this family was actually okay.
"I'll ask your aunt to stew the old hen at home and bring it to you later. Then you can lie down and rest."
Xie Shuangping said a few words and went back first. He looked at the shack, sighed, and thought about helping to build a mud house when Ma Cheng's situation got better.
The Red Team doesn’t come here to take care of it anymore, maybe it’s okay. Otherwise, this shack won’t be warm in the winter and it will be very cold.
In the evening, Zhou Daqiao went there and stewed the old hen, and brought it to the Ma brothers and sisters in a clay pot.
Let them eat their dinner. It’s hot and it will go bad tomorrow.
She also said that when Xie Jiao is able to leave, she will definitely thank Ma Cheng in person.
Not to mention Ma Cheng who is recovering from his injuries, Lian Xiaomin has some ideas about the masked man.
The Xie family has been really unlucky. First, Xie Ling was almost abducted last winter, and then she was rescued from the county town.
Now someone comes to kidnap Xie Jiao again. It is obvious that the purpose is clear. Otherwise, why would the staff of the Pigeon Committee come to Sandagou? It is impossible that they are just passing by.
Maybe he followed Xie Jiao and attacked her in a deserted place.
Thinking of the person described by Ma Cheng, she planned to go to the committee to check it out tomorrow.
If the masked man is really caught and it turns out to be the one he said, it would help Ma Cheng vent his anger.
This is easy to check. Just see if there is a tall and thin person with a broken arm.
There is also the matter of Hu Daguo that needs to be settled, and we should try to get Zheng Ying and the others' money and precious watches back.
Let’s not worry about others for now. She is protecting Zheng Ying, so she must not let the guy named Hu off.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, because she had to go to the commune, Lian Xiaomin fed Xiaofu and Xiaoya and sent them to her aunt's house around nine in the morning.
She wore a big straw hat, carried a backpack and went out of the village.
It was seven or eight miles, and she walked so fast that she arrived in less than forty minutes. She even felt like exercising, and she felt relaxed all over after the walk.
I walked all the way to the compound of the Pigeon Committee and stopped.
She had been to this place many times. At that time, it was because of Xu Dawang's matter that she often came to inquire about the news.
This time, he quietly slipped to the side of the wall, closest to the small building.
There were people in several offices inside. I used my mental power to listen for a while and heard them all talking about whose house had been searched and where someone would be criticized, but Hu Daguo was not in the room.
Although she had never seen this person, Sun Xuefeng had seen him when he was following Zhang Wenyong and the short and fat Cheng Zhi, and he described his appearance when he went back.
After waiting at the wall for more than twenty minutes, suddenly, a man came in from the main entrance, pushing a bicycle towards the small building.
He was in his early thirties, of medium build, wearing a blue cadre uniform, with small eyes, a beard, and a big mole on his temple. It was Hu Daguo!
He was seen frowning and looking gloomy as he parked the car at the door of the building. He didn't even lock the door and went straight into the building.
I went up to the second floor and walked into a separate office. Without closing the door, I sat down on the chair in front of the desk.
"Miao Chunbo, Tian Dabiao, come here!"
After the shout, two people quickly ran over from the big office next door, one fat and one thin, both wearing gray uniforms and red armbands.
When the two men saw that Hu Daguo was in a bad mood today, they came in, closed the door carefully, and hurriedly and attentively poured him some water while the other lit a cigarette for him.
The round-faced, slightly plump man, who was about 27 or 28 years old, struck a match and asked softly, "Director Hu, you just got promoted. Who is so bold as to make you angry?"
Hu Daguo lit a cigarette, took a puff, glanced at him, and snorted angrily.
"Da Biao, to raid Luo Wenqing's house on Yushui Street tomorrow, you two should find another person, even Huang Wu will do, since Wang Yuzhu can't go."
Tian Dabiao looked puzzled: "Huang Wu? He is Lao Xue's man?"
"The Luo family is Manchu, and if we find out, they were once royal relatives, so they must have a lot of money. Why do we ask him to go with us?"
"...No, Director, what happened to Zhuzi? He hasn't come yet today."
