The kidnapped man slowly woke up, opened his eyes to see his surroundings, but all he saw was darkness. His head was covered, and he thought he would have trouble breathing, but he could still breathe air, especially the smell of gasoline in the air and the shaking sensation beneath him. He was in a car; he had been kidnapped.
He was about to speak when he realized his mouth was also tied shut with a strip of cloth. He was in despair and could only twist his body, but he was kicked after only a few twists. He knew someone was nearby and immediately tried to grunt through his nose, but this only earned him an even stronger kick that almost knocked him unconscious. When he tried to twist again, he felt a chop to the neck and then he knew nothing more.
Lu Yuan looked at Zhang Tian and said, "Why bother with him? He'll only cause us more trouble if he's awake."
Zhang Tian laughed and said, "Hehe, boss, we've brought this guy back. I wonder how things are going with Lao Huang?"
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "We're just changing the location to keep him under control. I'll go hide the people in a bit, and you and Hu Da will go and meet Huang Ye and the others."
Zhang Tian nodded.
After watching Zhang Tian and Hu Da get out of the car, Lu Yuan drove away. He had borrowed the car from the Shangzhi County Public Security Bureau and was simply returning it. The unconscious man had already been stored in his personal space. Hiding someone in his space was incredibly convenient—portable, safe, and discreet; it was practically an essential tool for silencing witnesses!
After returning the car, Lu Yuan thanked the police chief. After leaving, he saw a man riding past him on a bicycle. He narrowed his eyes slightly. This man looked familiar. It was as if he had seen him somewhere before. However, as the former vice-captain of the Cosmic Team, he could say with certainty that this was the first time he had seen this man, but he gave him a very familiar feeling.
He thought for a moment and quickly followed the man in the direction he was going. He saw the man go straight into the county government building. He walked over and saw the old man guarding the gate. He smiled and offered him a cigarette, saying, "Grandpa, I just saw someone I think I know go into the building, but my two legs can't outrun his two wheels, so I wanted to confirm if it was the person I know."
The old man glanced at Lu Yuan, who had an upright and righteous look on his face. He could tell that the young man had an extraordinary air about him, so he lowered his guard, took the cigarette from Lu Yuan's hand, and said, "Are you talking about the one who just rode in on his bike?" Seeing Lu Yuan nod, he said, "That's our propaganda officer here, Qian Mao."
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "Then I've mistaken you for someone else. The person I know doesn't have the surname Qian."
The old man looked down at the cigarette in his hand, wondering whether he should return it. Still hesitating, he gritted his teeth and was about to hand it back when he looked up and saw that no one was there anymore. He chuckled, picked up a match, lit the cigarette, took a puff, and said with a grin, "This cigarette is really good! Much better than the tobacco I roll myself. Delicious, really delicious!"
Lu Yuan, who had already left the county committee building, smiled and said, "Qian Mao and Qian Duoduo both have the surname Qian and even look somewhat alike. Hehe, what a coincidence!"
If Qian Duoduo knew what Lu Yuan was thinking, he would definitely tell him that this was fate, a huge pile of fate!
The school started its farm work break. Qian Duoduo sighed and looked at Qian Yi'an running ahead. "No wonder my sister-in-law was so happy to let me take care of the child. She'd rather work in the fields than take the child with her. It's only been a morning, and Qian Duoduo also wants to go to work in the fields and doesn't want to take care of the child anymore."
This child is quite clever and mischievous, and even at such a young age, you can see that he takes after his mother in some ways. He has some talent in physical strength and martial arts.
Qian Duoduo watched Qian Yi'an running around in the yard, slightly sweating. She couldn't stop him no matter how she called or stopped him. So, Qian Duoduo started thinking: "I've heard many stories of chivalrous heroes. They can fly over rooftops and climb walls, and they uphold justice."
Hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Qian Yi'an, who had been running, stopped all her running, jumping, and chasing chickens and ducks, and came to Qian Duoduo's side: "Auntie, what kind of hero are you talking about?"
Qian Duoduo looked at the little mud ball in front of her with a smile, but couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You're too dirty. I don't want to play with a dirty kid."
Qian Yi'an looked down at his dirty clothes and his small, flesh-colored hands. He raised his hand and wiped his forehead, successfully leaving a black mark on it.
Qian Duoduo sighed. It seemed his sister-in-law knew her son's nature, as she had only brought two sets of clothes when she delivered them. Qian Duoduo looked at the sun in the sky and the branches of the big tree by the door, happily shook them, and sighed, saying, "You stand here and practice your stance properly. If you behave, I'll tell you a story about a great hero in a little while."
Qian Yi'an's eyes were bright. The little baby, who was almost two years old, could already understand what his aunt was saying. He immediately stood obediently against the wall. Qian Duoduo went to the kitchen and saw that the pot was more than half full of hot water. She remembered that when Guo Ni brought the child over, she seemed to have gone into the kitchen. Hehe, you thought of her very thoughtfully!
Guo Ni, who was working and chatting with the village women in the field, suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and wondered, "Who's talking about me?"
Qian Duoduo went to the storage room and took the large basin she usually used for washing clothes to the kitchen. She scooped the hot water from the pot into the basin, added some cold water, tested the water temperature with her hand, and felt it was just right. Taking advantage of the warmth in the kitchen, she went to her mother's room to get a set of clothes left by Guo Ni. When she came back, she said to Qian Yi'an, who was practicing standing meditation, "Qian Yi'an, come and take a bath. You're all dirty. Why do you look like a knight-errant?"
Qian Yi'an immediately followed Qian Duoduo to the kitchen. He was not at all averse to taking a bath; in fact, he was used to it. After all, someone like him would take two baths a day in the summer. However, when he saw the water in his basin turn from clear to murky and his little hands turn from dark to fleshy, he smiled.
He raised his little paws and said, "Auntie, look, my little hands have turned white."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Yes, I noticed it too. It's changed from a puppy paw to a wolf paw."
After putting on clean clothes, Qian Duoduo carried Qian Yi'an into her room. The two lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and told each other stories about the hero Guo Daxia protecting the country. Although Guo Daxia's performance in the early stages was not satisfactory, and he was even a bit clumsy, it did not stop Qian Yi'an from liking it. He thought he would become a hero, especially when he heard Qian Duoduo say that Guo Daxia practiced standing meditation and boxing every day, except for eating and sleeping. He was very serious about it, which is why he became a great hero. He immediately stood up and did a standing meditation posture, saying, "Auntie, I will also become a great hero."
"Is anyone home at Qian Sheng's house?" a voice called out from outside the courtyard.
Qian Duoduo said, "Be good, I'll go check and come back to continue telling you stories."
Qian Yi'an obediently sat by the window and saw her aunt go out to get something and come back. She grinned and smiled happily. "Wow, she's a hero! She seems really powerful!"
