"A murder occurred in the city last night, and we are now pursuing the suspect! Please show your identification and cooperate with the inspection."
Murder?
Hearing him say that, Li Weidong also remembered.
In my previous life, a murder did indeed occur in the county on the day my younger sister took her high school entrance exam.
A family of three in the grain bureau's residential compound was murdered late at night.
The reason the murderer killed his entire family was because his wife had been cuckolded by the male head of the household.
In a fit of shame and rage, he killed the entire family of three to vent his anger.
This incident caused quite a stir at the time. During the police arrest, one officer was killed because the police did not know that the other party was armed.
"You're all right now, let's go."
After verifying the ID card, the police returned the document to Li Weidong.
But Li Weidong did not leave immediately.
He was astonished to discover that the policeman in front of him was the same one who had sacrificed himself in his previous life.
"Is there anything else?" the police officer asked.
"Um... I know a little about physiognomy. I see that your forehead is dark and gloomy, which means you might have a bloody accident in the next few days."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Get out of here." The policeman frowned in annoyance.
Although they don't believe in this, they still consider it taboo.
"I have a coin here that has been blessed. If you put it close to your chest, it will keep you safe."
Li Weidong took a coin out of his pocket and put it in the cloth pocket where he kept his pen.
"Kid, if you keep spouting nonsense, believe me, I'll arrest you!" Officer Xing Guodong said, his face full of displeasure.
But just then, a voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Team A, we have received a report that a suspect has been spotted at Xiahewan. Please proceed immediately to investigate."
"Group A received."
Upon receiving the information, Xing Guodong immediately got on his three-wheeled motorcycle and headed towards the target location.
Li Weidong watched the police speed away and silently prayed.
Hopefully, he listened to the advice.
...
After this little episode ended.
Li Weidong drove his tricycle home, churning and puffing.
We finally arrived in the village at 11 a.m.
However, as soon as he entered the village, he noticed that the villagers were looking at him in a strange way.
Sure enough, as soon as he parked his tricycle, villagers came to his door.
"Weidong, I heard that your family isn't planning on growing mushrooms anymore?"
The person who entered was Aunt Pang, the neighbor from next door.
"Who told you that?" Li Weidong was a little surprised. He had only discussed this matter with his mother.
"Does anyone even need to say that? You've demolished all three greenhouses; isn't that a clear indication that you're not planning to grow anything anymore..."
"Hey, you mean this? We removed it because the mushrooms got sick and we had to cultivate them again. I'll definitely grow mushrooms again and I'll continue to help you grow them."
"But I heard people say that's not how it is," Aunt Pang said, her face full of distrust.
What are other people saying?
"Everyone in our village says it's because you, Li Weidong, aren't skilled enough. Otherwise, how come Hu Zi's mushrooms are fine? Quite a few people in the village are planning to learn how to grow mushrooms from him."
"Really? Then let them learn properly from Tiger."
Li Weidong didn't even bother to explain.
And after just a few words, he understood what was going on.
"Auntie, is it that woman Wang Dahua who's spreading rumors in the village?"
"kindness."
What did she say?
"She said their mushrooms were fine, but yours were a problem. That must mean you're not skilled enough. She also said you're a complete idiot who just tries to fool people and told everyone to stay away from you."
"Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it!" Auntie Pang shook her head.
"If you don't believe me, that's fine. We're all neighbors, so I'll be frank with you. My mushrooms did get sick because of poor management, but their mushrooms might not be any better."
Just you wait two more days, and their family will be crying.
"So you're saying there'll be some excitement to watch in a couple of days?"
"Hey, just you wait, this might get quite a show."
...
After Aunt Pang left.
Li Weidong entered the main room.
The mother was sitting inside sewing shoe soles.
Who just came by?
"Auntie Pang, you want to ask me something."
"Oh, are you hungry? I'll go get you some food." Zhao Xiulian put down what she was doing.
"No need, I ate a hearty breakfast and I'm not hungry yet. By the way, Mother, have you been hearing rumors in the village these past few days?"
"Yes." Zhao Xiulian nodded: "Your aunt is saying everywhere that you're not good at the craft and that people shouldn't follow your example in growing mushrooms."
"Mother, don't worry about this. In a few days, she'll get what's coming to her. Just wait and see."
"Okay, Mom will listen to you. Um, next Monday, your uncle's cousin is getting married, so I won't be going. You can go in my place."
"Sure, I'll go there then."
Li Weidong knew that his mother was unwilling to go because she didn't want to clash with Wang Dahua and the others.
"Mom, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to take a nap first, and I'll get up to eat when I wake up."
"Go."
After returning to his room, Li Weidong went straight to sleep.
Although Shen Xiaoyan's bed was fragrant and soft, she didn't feel as comfortable sleeping in her own "doghouse".
Li Weidong slept for more than four hours.
When she woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Seeing that he had gotten up, Zhao Xiulian reminded him, "Dongzi, a woman called you just now and asked you to call her back when you wake up."
"Woman, who is she?"
Li Weidong thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out who it was.
"What's your name, Xiaoyan?"
"I see."
