Zhou Shixun remained motionless the next day. He walked around the town and also went to the lower reaches of the river. He was not in a hurry and did not seem to be looking for anyone.
Shi Tianliang was unsure, and became even more alert. He called Shi Daman and said, "Keep watching Zhou Luancheng. I want to see what he is going to do. Also, tell everyone in the village who went to the mountains to pan for gold. If anyone dares to say a word, they will have a hard time."
Shi Daman nodded repeatedly: "Uncle, I will definitely be able to follow you. Look, from yesterday till now, the policeman hasn't found me."
Shi Tianliang narrowed his eyes and patted his shoulder: "Go ahead."
In the early years, when he first became the village party secretary, he was also full of enthusiasm and wanted to lead the whole village to work together to solve the problem of food and clothing, but the land here was too barren.
The food harvest was never enough to feed the entire village.
Later, when he went up the mountain with the villagers to repair the canal dam, he discovered gold in the sand, which gave Shi Tianliang a bold idea: gold panning!
His father was once a gold prospector who went to Northeast China. He was very familiar with gold prospecting techniques, and he learned a lot from him since he was a child.
Although the gold cannot be sold now and cannot be made known to others, it can be stored first and then a way can be found to exchange it for food later.
At the same time, in order to conceal the purpose of gold panning, they also secretly planted crops on the mountain, including sweet potatoes, wheat, and potatoes. The whole village worked together, some kept watch and some pretended to be ghosts.
All for the sake of filling the stomach.
During those two years, the people of Shijia Village were indeed well fed. Shi Tianliang took his brothers and nephews to secretly pan for gold.
In the name of protecting the wasteland they had reclaimed, they made their own weapons and fought with people from other villages who tried to go up the mountain to find food.
Later, as his career gradually improved, Shi Tianliang suddenly discovered that there was another business that could make more money, which was growing opium.
It is more cost-effective to sell them and then buy food, of course, all this is done secretly.
Shi Tianliang is also very sociable and is an expert at flattering people.
The city officials and town leaders all highly praised his work.
In fact, they are just a bunch of snakes and rats!
Shi Tianliang smoked his pipe silently. He wanted to find a way to deal with the several large jars of gold sand hidden in the cellar of his home. There was no black market transaction in the past few years, so there was no way to sell these things.
However, the policy has been relaxed in the past two years, and he has already taken a lot of actions, and now there is still a large part left that he needs to take action on quickly.
After Shi Daman left, he sent his wife Li Xiumei away, went down the tunnel from the kang and into the cellar. With a flashlight, he carefully looked at the five or six vats in the cellar, which were full of gold sand. He became excited again.
The policy is good. After he sells all the gold, he can buy a house in Beijing. He will no longer have to farm in the countryside and can become a city dweller.
He went over and touched each tank one by one, and only then did he feel at ease. He thought of Mu Xiaowan, who was thrown into the cave by him.
It's all this girl's fault. It's too easy for her to just let herself perish!
Shi Tianliang gritted his teeth, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he quickly went out with a flashlight. He was going to kill Mu Xiaowan right now! He was going to tear her apart bit by bit!
He understood it in his heart, but the resentment in his heart always had to find a way to vent, so he could only blame Mu Xiaowan for his bad luck.
…
The day after Zhou Shixun left, Sheng An Ning didn't receive a call from Zhou Shixun, and didn't know whether he had found Mu Xiaowan.
We agreed to find a place and call home when we got there, but how come we never heard from each other again after we left?
Sheng Anning was a little restless at home, and Zhou Chaoyang comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, even if my eldest brother doesn't call back, nothing will happen. After all, my eldest brother is very powerful."
Sheng An Ning still shook her head worriedly: "No matter how powerful he is, he doesn't know the situation over there. Your second brother and Xiao Wan have lost news at the same time. Isn't your second brother powerful?"
Zhou Chaoyang hesitated for a moment: "You don't want to go and see it too, do you?"
Sheng An Ning shook her head: "I can't go now. Your eldest brother doesn't understand the situation. If I go, won't I lose another one? No matter how anxious I am, I can't go and cause trouble. If I go, I will be like a little monkey saving his companions. It will be troublesome if I lose one more."
Zhong Wenqing came over and heard this, and also advised Sheng Anning: "Anning, don't think too much about it. If Luancheng and Shixun can both get into trouble, then how can Nanshan be decent?"
Sheng An Ning didn't say anything, but muttered to herself that Zhong Wenqing didn't understand the dark side of society, nor did he know the dirt hidden behind all the beauty.
She planned that if there was no news about Zhou Shixun after three days, she would ask Zhou Nanguang to use his connections to find him.
…
Zhou Shixun walked along the entire river for a whole day, not leaving out any bushes or grass. Shi Daman, who followed him from a distance, really had no idea what he was looking for.
Is this how we can find someone?
Or maybe this police officer from Beijing only looks powerful, but actually has no skills at all and is just a useless piece of paper?
I squatted in the bushes boredly, watching Zhou Shixun in the distance still searching bit by bit.
In October, it is already a bit cold in the morning and evening, and only a little warm at noon.
After following Zhou Shixun for a whole day, Shi Daman was now sleepy and bored. He kept yawning and rubbing his eyes. He looked at Zhou Shixun in the distance. He closed his eyes and felt his eyelids were heavy.
After all, he had been following for two days in a row and had no training in this area. His body was a little out of control. He squatted there and began to stagger from side to side. Then he sat down on the ground. He suddenly woke up and rubbed his eyes. Zhou Shixun was still not far away.
He heaved a sigh of relief, took out a cake from his arms and ate it, while waiting angrily for Zhou Shixun in the distance: "Are you sick? How can you find someone like this? You made me and you suffer here."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Shi Tianliang was a little cowardly. He actually took such an idiot seriously.
When Shi Daming thought about this, he couldn't help but relax his vigilance. The more he chewed the biscuit, the sleepier he felt.
Finally, I couldn't help it, so I tilted my head, leaned on the branch behind me and closed my eyes, thinking that I would only close my eyes for two minutes.
In two minutes, that man will definitely not be able to escape!
As a result, once he closed his eyes, he no longer had the final say.
It was not until he felt a cool, stinging pain on his neck that he suddenly opened his eyes. He was so scared that just as he was about to scream, his mouth was blocked by someone.
Shi Daman looked at Zhou Shixun in panic. When did this man come to him?
How come he didn't feel anything at all?
Zhou Shixun quickly held the dagger against Shi Daman's neck, covered his mouth with one hand, and dragged him up and quickly entered the bushes nearby where he had been observing for a long time...
