Lin Xiaoman got up at daybreak in the morning, and Yang's mother, who had gotten up even earlier, was already busy in the kitchen.
After breakfast, Yang's mother stuffed a rice ball into Lin Xiaoman's mouth as lunch, and then continued to nag her with various instructions: "Be careful on the road", "Hide your money, don't let anyone steal it", "Don't forget the things you want to buy"...
Carrying a bamboo basket as a backpack, Lin Xiaoman walked out of the house and walked quickly towards the old tree at the entrance of the village.
It was just before six o'clock when Lin Xiaoman arrived. Seven or eight people had already gathered under the old tree with lush branches and leaves at the entrance of the village.
Three women make a drama, a group of middle-aged and elderly women chattering like sparrows holding a conference.
Lin Xiaoman didn't join in the fun. He stood one meter away from the crowd and waited quietly.
"Tell me, among the villages within a dozen miles of us, which one can be as good as our Lijia Village? Which girl in which village isn't desperate to marry into our Lijia Village? Some people are just stupid. They have a good life but choose to suffer for themselves!"
The voice was sharp and loud, and it was obvious that it was meant to be heard by others.
And that 'person', Lin Xiaoman, of course heard it.
With a quick glance, Lin Xiaoman remembered the old woman with broad shoulders, thick waist and round face as soon as the information about her went through his mind.
Li Zhang, whose exact name is unknown, is a rude and unreasonable old woman. She is Li Xingwang's aunt. She was also present when Li Xingwang proposed marriage.
After searching the list, Lin Xiaoman confirmed that this man and son of the Li Zhang family were about to get a free meal. After rolling his eyes in his heart, he was too lazy to deal with such a marginal person.
After a few more words of veiled criticism and indirect accusations, seeing that Lin Xiaoman had no reaction at all and looked as if she said "I don't understand, you're not talking about me", Li Zhangshi lost interest as if she had hit cotton, and soon changed the subject.
However, almost all the people here were members of the Li family. Led by Li Zhang, they secretly isolated her.
No one talked to her, and Lin Xiaoman was actually happy to be alone.
Less than five minutes later, Zhao Laogen drove a ox cart and slowly came over.
With a one-cent fare, everyone got on the ox cart.
As if they had endless things to say, the group of middle-aged and elderly women continued to chatter away. Lin Xiaoman, who continued to be isolated, was busy looking at the scenery. On the surface, she didn't care, but in her heart she was lamenting, "This road is so bumpy! I might as well walk!"
It is about five or six kilometers from Lijia Village to the town. The ox cart swayed for more than an hour before we arrived at the town.
After dropping the men off at the town entrance and instructing them to 'gather at 2 p.m., we won't wait for you after that time,' Zhao Laogen drove the cattle to do his own business.
The people on the bus were traveling in groups of three or four. Out of respect for Li Zhang, no one wanted to offend her and Lin Xiaoman.
Lin Xiaoman, who had not originally planned to travel with others, was even happier because no one paid any attention to him.
Walking along the bluestone road into the town, following Yang Lixia's memory of the future, Lin Xiaoman turned around and around and found an empty alley.
Using the stock in the space, Lin Xiaoman simply disguised herself and a hunchbacked old lady appeared on the stage.
Bending over, old lady Lin Xiaoman slowly moved to the vicinity of the town government.
After observing the terrain, Lin Xiaoman chose a small alley diagonally opposite the government gate, which was relatively hidden from view. He found a stone at the entrance of the alley to sit on and just waited.
After waiting for a while, people who were going to work arrived one after another, and soon, her target person - Mayor Shen also appeared.
As a small figure, Yang Lixia had never seen Mayor Shen, but the plan provided Mayor Shen's appearance.
The black pig farm in Lijia Village is definitely protected by a protective umbrella. Mayor Shen is certainly not part of the same group. He is honest and fair, and works for the people, making him the first choice for reporting.
Lin Xiaoman spotted his target with his sharp eyes and quickly stood up and walked over, shouting in a hoarse, false voice, "Comrade, comrade..."
Seeing her out of the corner of his eye, Shen Zhenchang, who was about to ride his bike into the government compound, stopped with his foot on the ground and pointed at himself in confusion, "Are you looking for me?"
"Yes, yes." Lin Xiaoman nodded hurriedly, looking like he had something urgent to do.
"Slow down! There's no rush!" Looking at her shaky steps, Mayor Shen was afraid that she might fall, so he quickly comforted her. As he spoke, he got out of the car and pushed it towards her.
When he walked up to the person and confirmed that it was an unfamiliar old lady, the mayor wondered if she was here to complain. In the spirit of serving the people, Mayor Shen asked in a very warm tone, "Old comrade, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"A comrade asked me to give this to you, saying it is very, very important." Lin Xiaoman handed over the paper folded into small tofu blocks.
"For me?"
Could it be that he came to report and is not convenient to show up?
Mayor Shen, who took the paper, was already thinking rapidly.
"Yes, that's you. He said it was the middle-aged man riding a bicycle. He looked the most educated, so it must be you!" Lin Xiaoman said with a naive tone of certainty, and then emphasized again, "Comrade, you must take it carefully. He gave me an egg. This thing must be very important."
"What does that gay man look like?"
"He's tall and strong, and looks like a farmer. Well, I'll stop talking. I have to go home and boil eggs for my eldest grandson."
Seeing Lin Xiaoman about to leave, Mayor Shen hurriedly asked, "Hey, old comrade, think about it again. Does that person have any characteristics? Does he have an accent like someone from outside the area or a local?"
"Judging from his accent, he's a local. He was just in that alley." Lin Xiaoman pointed to the alley entrance. "I really don't know anything else. Comrade, I really have to go. My grandson is waiting for me!"
"Thank you, old comrade. Please walk slowly and be careful not to fall."
“Yeah.”
After giving the instructions, although he knew that there was no one in the alley, Mayor Shen still pushed the cart over to take a look.
As far as the eye can see, the alley is empty and there is nothing.
With a little disappointment, Mayor Shen entered the government compound.
After returning to his office, Mayor Shen unfolded the folded paper and began to look at it. However, after just a few glances, Mayor Shen's originally calm expression suddenly became solemn, and then became even darker.
After watching it, Mayor Shen appeared to be back to normal, but his heart was already in turmoil.
Raise black pigs!
Illegal imprisonment!
Even killing to silence the witnesses!
If what is written on this paper is true, then the implications are too huge and the nature is too serious!
Without caring about anything else, with the attitude of preferring to believe it to be true, Mayor Shen quickly organized his men, gathered a team of about 20 people, and then set off towards Lijia Village.
