Lian Xiaomin looked at the little boy, and then she remembered something and asked Gu Dazhuang, who was sitting on the kang: "Will your family be investigated as well? Are your wife and children okay?"
Among these people, the families of Errong and his two brothers are all in a village in the neighboring county, which is quite far away, so they should be fine.
Everyone else was single, except Gu Dazhuang, who had a wife. He was 28 years old and had two children under the age of five.
Gu Dazhuang frowned, "Xiao Mao's house has been searched, and my house is probably in trouble too. We are hiding here, and we are in danger. How dare we go out now?"
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Mao's elder sister hurried out to open the door. It must be the child's father coming back.
Sure enough, after a while, two people came in together and closed the door.
Xiao Mao went to meet him and introduced him quickly: "Lin Zi, this is my brother-in-law Pan Youmin, brother-in-law, please tell me what you found out!"
Pan Youmin looked at the people in the room. They were very respectful to the young Lin Zi in front of him. He knew in his heart that the other party must be no simple person. He nodded at him and spoke quickly without even catching his breath.
"I went to the committee to find Sun Laowu and talk to him. At first he said nothing and was very tight-lipped, unlike before..."
"I had no choice but to drag him to a secluded place, stuff a small yellow croaker into his mouth, and finally he told me the truth after much persuasion and threats..."
"This time, the police from the provincial capital sent people to carry out the operation. It is said that they caught a black marketeer named Xu Guoqiang in Fengtian who resold several truckloads of grain."
When Errong heard this, he said, "That's Xu Laosan! So he came from here!"
Pan Youmin continued, "There was a bureau chief named Peng Aidang who specifically targeted this line in order to get promoted and achieve good results."
"... Following the clues, we found our county and knew it must be related to the Sandagou Commune below. So we didn't even celebrate the New Year and immediately joined forces with the local police station and committee..."
"We are working together to catch a black market leader named Qian. We want to catch him all in one fell swoop and make a great contribution. We are searching everywhere..."
His wife brought a jar of hot water, drank two sips, and continued, "The four people who were arrested will be taken back to Fengtian for investigation tomorrow."
"Sun Laowu said that in addition to the supplies in the warehouse, they also found guns, a lot of money, and gold bars. This is a big deal, and they are bound to get shot!"
"It's not just Mao Jun's place. Qian Ye's house in Dawan Hutong and Gu Dazhuang's house have all been searched. The people in the committee are complaining. They are not allowed to celebrate the New Year and are forced to work overtime."
"All the items found were loaded onto a truck and parked in the compound over there. The people were also detained there. They will be transported back to Fengtian tomorrow..."
"Sun Laowu got angry when he talked about this, and complained to me a few more times, saying that they couldn't make any money and were still working so hard..."
After hearing this, Lian Xiaomin and everyone else understood what was going on.
She thought for a moment and looked at the others: "Errong, you three brothers should go back to your hometown in the countryside of Cuiyan County and hide there for a year or two. Come back after the storm has passed."
"Gu Dazhuang and Xiaomao, where are they going? They should get out of here. This commune is not for them to stay in."
Errong was anxious: "Linzi, we are not afraid of danger, we have to save Master Qian and the others even if it means risking our lives!"
The same was true for the others. They all said that they couldn’t leave and that if they had to leave, they had to rescue the people and leave together!
Lian Xiaomin looked at them and said, "Don't worry, I will rescue the four of them. Mr. Qian is the leader, and the Guan family's main target is him. They will definitely not let him go. You can only flee far away."
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Xiao Mao knew Lin Zi's ability, but he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Flee far away? Then, where can we go? There are four of us, it's not easy to escape, right?"
"I guess Shunxi and Xiaosi will never leave Mr. Qian. They are like father and son..."
Lian Xiaomin waved her hand and said, "Then let's go together. I have my own way. Now, you have to leave first. Otherwise, when I go to rescue them tonight and make a big noise, they will definitely block and patrol more strictly."
Pan Youmin on the side frowned and said: "No, when I came back just now, I saw more people patrolling the road. How can we get out now..."
Lian Xiaomin said calmly: "Follow me and I will take you to Cuiyan County. However, you must bring some thick clothes because I am afraid you will have to walk all night."
She looked at Gu Dazhuang and Xiao Mao again: "Why don't you two hide with them? Don't go out of the village and stay hidden."
After hearing what Lin Zi said, the few people felt relieved and naturally listened to him.
Xiao Mao said, "Okay, Linzi, if you have any problems in the future, you can come here to find my brother-in-law and send us a message. We will all go to Bai Laohutun, Errong's hometown, to hide for a while."
Gu Dazhuang said to Pan Youmin, "Youmin, I'll ask you and Guihua to secretly take care of my husband and two children. Tell my wife not to worry!"
The couple nodded and agreed to let him rest assured.
After Lian Xiaomin finished the arrangements, she looked at her watch. It was seven o'clock, not too late. She asked them to wait while she went to get some things.
It's very cold and they have to walk all night and tomorrow, so they can't go without anything.
She went out of the Pan family's small back door alone and walked out. In fact, she ran to the next alley. Seeing that there were no patrollers following her, she slipped into the space.
He took a large sack and put five military coats, five sets of cotton hats, thick scarves and gloves in it.
I found a large backpack and filled it with forty or fifty large sweet potatoes, each weighing about one pound.
Although the sweet potatoes were raw, they were cooked by roasting them over a fire made with branches on the road.
There were two stacks of white flour cakes and more than thirty steamed buns on top, all packed in clean cotton bags and wrapped in a thin cotton pad.
There were also ten cans of luncheon meat, a few spoons, and a dozen apples.
These are not afraid of cold and can be eaten on the road.
Three green military canteens for drinking water.
After packing everything up, she carried the large sack in one hand and the backpack in the other, left the space, and quickly returned to Sister Xiaomao's house.
When everyone saw that Lin Zi had taken so many things, they were filled with gratitude.
Xiao Mao's eyes turned red, and he choked up and said, "Lin Zi, you saved us so many times. I really don't know what to say. I can't thank you enough. When the storm has passed, I will continue to work for you and follow you for the rest of my life!..."
Several other people felt the same way.
Lian Xiaomin said: "It's nothing. Brothers, work for me and Master Qian. I can't just ignore you."
"Put on your military coats. It's cold in winter. You have to walk all night and all day tomorrow. Also, put on your cotton hats, scarves, and gloves."
Everyone put their coats on outside, put on their hats and tidied themselves up.
Xiao Mao's elder sister and brother-in-law found two more backpacks and divided the things among them. Then the five of them took turns carrying three baskets, making the journey easier.
