Chapter 152 Grandpa, why are you doing this to yourself?
The two went inside and looked at everything before them with almost greedy eyes.
Zhou Tao was also very generous. With a wave of her hand, she ordered two roast ducks, and Xiao Ma's flattering words came out of his mouth without hesitation!
"Brother Zhou, you are so generous! You are even more generous than the locals in Beijing. I have really broadened my horizons by being with you today!"
hehe……"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tao's expression became even more arrogant.
Xie Jianshe and Shi Lei searched for a long time in Fangcheng County, but found no news at all. They couldn't find any information about Zhou Ye's parents, or even his grandfather.
During this period, Zhou Ye also enjoyed a rare moment of peace!
I heard that the words on Chen Gong's face and head were somehow washed off. Zhou also knew that a storm was brewing!
However, Zhou Ye hasn't been idle these days either.
I also found out a lot of information, but it was all about the neighboring county. A lot of people from the neighboring county were sent down to the countryside.
Especially since a few people came at the beginning of this year, Zhou also wanted to go and see them.
That morning, Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe planned to say goodbye to Shi Lei, and then they wouldn't have to trouble him with the rest of their journey.
Stepping outside, I saw someone who was both expected and unexpected—Chen Gong!
Chen Gong was accompanied by two other people, one of whom was Lao Bai, the man who had caused the commotion with him. Ha... how loyal they are!
"Is there something you need?"
Zhou asked first.
Xie Jianshe stayed by her side at all times, like a bodyguard!
The moment Chen Gong saw Zhou Ye, his eyes were filled with boundless hatred. But her beautiful face was deeply etched in his mind.
"The words on my face were written by you."
What a direct question!
Zhou looked at him blankly: "No, I don't have that kind of ability! What? Did someone write on your face?"
What word?
Zhou Ye's curious expression made Chen Gong even more embarrassed.
"Don't worry about these things..."
Then his gaze fell on Xie Jianshe: "It's you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jianshe smiled and said, "Heh... Do you have any evidence that it was me? If you don't have any evidence, you can't make false accusations."
Chen Gong was furious: "Men, seize these two people and take them away!"
Xie Jianshe's eyes instantly turned sharp.
It was a coincidence that the police arrived before Zhou Ye and the others could even call the police.
The timing is just too perfect!
Xie Jianshe leaned closer to Zhou Ye: "Go with them first, trust me! Let's see what they're up to."
The premise for saying these things was, of course, because Xie Jianshe knew that Zhou also had the ability to protect himself!
Zhou Ye nodded...
We arrived at the police station together, and the police officers we met this time were completely different from the ones we encountered last time!
Chen Gong went straight into the interrogation room and looked at Zhou Ye: "Little brat, what tricks did you use last time?"
Confess honestly.
Zhou Ye looked at the surrounding police officers with a cold smile. Were they transferring the good guys away? Leaving their own people here to torture them into confessing?
Or is there another purpose?
“How could a weak woman like me have such methods? Comrade Chen, are you overthinking this? Perhaps you and Comrade Bai had genuine feelings for each other and couldn’t bear it, which is why you did such a thing?”
What does this have to do with me?
"You were the only one there that day. Who else could it be but you?"
Chen Gong said through gritted teeth.
Zhou pursed his lips: "Comrade Chen, I'm from out of town. I came all this way not to offend you, but to find someone."
If I had these methods, would I need to run around looking for people every day?
I'm a young woman, how old am I?
You're a local with so much power, what good would it do me to offend you? Besides...
Perhaps your feelings for Comrade Bai are genuine.
"To hell with sentimentality! We're men, understand? Men!"
Chen Gongqi took several deep breaths to calm himself down!
He looked at Zhou Ye for a moment and said, "Fine, I won't ask you any of that. I'm just telling you today, if you come with me today, you'll become my woman."
I'll just pretend that nothing happened.
To avoid trouble, you should personally explain this to the man accompanying you!
What if I say no?
"No? Ha... Then neither you nor your man will have a good ending! Do you understand, little girl? I have a saying for you: even a mighty dragon can't suppress a local snake."
I hope you understand the meaning of this sentence clearly.
"You want to get arrested again?"
Zhou said coldly. At this moment, the policeman next to Chen Gong suddenly laughed: "Little girl, all the men from last time are out on a mission!"
This time it's just us! You probably can't escape.
"Heh... So... you're a bad guy? Wearing the guise of serving the people, but colluding with evil people?"
"you……"
Chen Gong: "You don't need to provoke us! The person accompanying you is your brother, right? Don't worry, as long as you stay with me, your brother will be safe!"
I'm only giving you one chance!
Zhou pursed his lips, wondering if Xie Jianshe could escape from this place on his own!
Zhou Ye's silence made the police officers present anxious. They glanced at their watches and patted Chen Gong next to them.
Zhou Ye saw all of this.
Seeing this, she became even less anxious!
Leaning back in his chair, Zhou Ye's expression became even more relaxed.
"Have you thought it through? If not, then let the police arrest you. Calling the police won't do you any good!"
These are all my people!
This was to let Zhou know that in this place, she was helpless and had no one to turn to for help!
But……
She didn't want to shout!
Seeing that Zhou Ye remained silent, Chen Gong became a little anxious. He had originally thought that a young girl would probably give in after just a few words!
Why is it so difficult?
Suddenly remembering something, Chen Gong said with a grin, "Little girl, I'll let bygones be bygones! Look, everyone here is one of my men, you can't get away from here."
Otherwise, just say yes!
If you follow your brother, he will definitely help you find someone!
I work in the quarry business, and everyone I deal with is from the quarry. I know people not only in this county, but also in the neighboring county.
"Just say the word!"
"Little girl, what's your decision?"
Zhou Ye's mind raced, and he looked at Chen Gong mysteriously. That look made Chen Gong take a few steps back: "You... what do you want to do?"
Zhou Ye obediently replied, "I didn't do anything! I was just looking at you! Do your friends know that you like men?"
Do other people know that you can be in heat anytime, anywhere?
Now, I look at…
She suddenly looked at the police officers and a smile appeared on her lips!
this……
Looks like things are about to get really big!
But what does this have to do with me?
Although resources were scarce in a county town during that era, it was still possible to find a witness who knew the truth.
Since we're going to stall for time anyway, let's just do it...
Chen Gong took a few steps back, a bad feeling creeping over him.
However, he felt dizzy, and a tingling sensation started from the very bottom of his spine... and then it seemed like he was dreaming!
Chen Gong looked at the other people.
The others also seemed to be confused...
Only two remained, looking at the others with surprise. Why only two? Because one person's words don't count as a witness!
"This... Chen Gong, what are you doing? Stop!"
A policeman shouted.
However, it seemed that Chen Gong couldn't hear anything; he was only focused on that matter.
Seeing that Chen Gong had already tackled the person to the ground, those around him tried to pull him back but couldn't, as if there was an inexhaustible force on him.
Zhou shouted anxiously, "Let me go! I know medicine, let me take a look!"
The two were dumbfounded, but there was nothing they could do at that moment.
Are we really going to just watch Chen Gong cause trouble here?
They immediately released Zhou Ye, who wanted to help but didn't know where to start. He shouted, "Help me hold them down!"
However, the group was very strong, and even the two policemen were almost caught in the crossfire.
Retreating in fear!
Zhou Ye said in a panic, "What should we do? You can't hold them down, and I can't do anything about it either!"
Even if I had the medicine, I couldn't cure it!
What's more, I used acupuncture!
what to do? "
The two of them were pale-faced and could only pull Zhou Ye out!
Strange noises came from inside the house. The two men looked at their watches, their faces pale.
However, it seems that it will take at least three hours for their leader to return, by which time it should be over, right?
But……
Things didn't go as planned!
What are you doing?
An angry voice came from the doorway. Zhou looked over and saw a group of six or seven policemen shouting.
They're back!
Another police officer: They're back!
That was fear! That was panic! That was it!
"You...you've come back?"
The leader glared angrily at the two men, and without asking any questions, he heard the sounds coming from inside.
His face immediately turned pale.
When I saw that Zhou Ye was completely unharmed, I breathed a sigh of relief!
"Separate them up! If you can't, splash them with water!"
"yes!"
Zhou was just wondering when Xie Jianshe came in from outside.
Zhou Ye stared wide-eyed in shock.
Why did he come back from outside?
Xie Jianshe nodded to himself. So, he was actually able to sneak out of the police station in this unfamiliar place?
Wow, that's amazing!
However... just as Zhou was wondering about this, Xie Jianshe walked over and covered his ears.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Jianshe listened to the unbearable sounds with a headache and said helplessly, "You're a girl, don't listen to these disgusting sounds!"
Zhou thought about it and agreed!
It's disgusting!
Chen Gong was already sober when he was pulled out!
Clearly, for some people, nothing has happened yet, but for others, it's already a reality...
"Chen Gong, you're fucking disgusting! You shameless bastard... I'll kill you!"
One person was completely overwhelmed!
She was originally there to carry on the family line, but instead, she became the one exposed...
Oh……
How can I not break down?
Zhou Ye smiled slightly.
Chen Gong was trembling all over when he came out. He knew that Zhou Ye must have done it, he must have! He was bad, he wasn't stupid!
She didn't even move; she simply lost her mind...
this……
When I was little, I heard the old folks tell stories about beautiful female ghosts or monsters who would come down from the mountains to absorb people's life force...
Is she a monster?
It can come out during the day, it must be a monster!
Otherwise, why would they resort to such methods?
Once, twice...
What if I offend her again in the future? Will she take my life?
Waaah... How scary! Oh my god, I've encountered a ghost!
"Tell me honestly, what exactly happened? Chen Gong, you've only been gone a few days and you dare to bribe my men and commit crimes?"
You're very brave!
Chen Gong looked up and his gaze met Zhou Ye's.
He suddenly swayed!
"I...I made a mistake, please arrest me! Waaah...I'm so scared! I'm so scared!"
Waaah...
"Officer, please arrest me!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen Gong suddenly became outspoken and said everything without hesitation!
He confessed all his crimes, including those committed in previous years!
He kept saying he was wrong! He said he would never do it again!
As for Zhou Ye...
Chen Gong directly said that he did not know her and that he was blinded by lust and wanted to harm the young girl, which led to today's scene!
The police station leader looked as if he had been struck by lightning; he never expected that there would be such a corrupt official in his own jurisdiction.
They fired everyone involved!
Those who should be held accountable should be held accountable, and those who should go to jail should go to jail!
When it comes to going to jail, Chen Gong is the most eager, and he might even stay in jail for a longer period of time!
When Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe came out, Xie Jianshe looked conflicted, as if he had a lot to say to Zhou Ye but found it hard to speak!
"What do you want to say? Speak up, you're making me uncomfortable!"
Zhou also mentioned this.
Xie Jianshe thought for a moment: "Xiao Ye, I'm just suggesting, I'm not forcing you. I was just thinking, if we're going to punish them in the future, could we try a different method?"
I don't want you to see these filthy things.
"Pfft!"
Zhou Ye just laughed!
So, you've been agonizing over this all along, just to say this?
Xie Jianshe's face turned slightly red: "Mm!"
That soft "hmm" was like a murmur from a sleeper!
Zhou Ye felt a little itchy: "Okay!"
Zhou also replied!
With things settled here and Chen Gong no longer causing trouble, we can now start gathering information!
However, this incident also gave Zhou Ye a lesson.
She bought herself several outfits from head to toe, dressing like a local, with a scarf around her face, looking honest and kind. Although she still had a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, she didn't look so out of place anymore!
But now we've lost our direction.
The only option is to head to the neighboring county!
"Ugh... That's terrifying! You'd better not talk about it! And our village chief, why did he keep someone like that around?"
What if he's a bad person?
"Yes, I was scared too! But the village chief couldn't bear to see that person with a fever! It rained a few days ago, and I heard that he rolled down the mountain."
I don't know what they're doing here.
Sigh...it's pitiful!
"It's pitiful, but what if it's a bad person? That face is terrifying, like it's been disfigured!"
Zhou Ye suddenly stopped in his tracks!
I looked at the two middle-aged women who were walking past me.
After exchanging a glance with Xie Jianshe, Zhou nodded and turned to walk towards the two people.
"Big sister, wait a minute..."
"Big sister..."
Zhou called out twice before the woman stopped in her tracks!
"Hey girl, did you call me?"
They looked at Zhou Ye!
Zhou Ye chuckled and pulled down his scarf. The two middle-aged women were visibly startled and whispered among themselves, "Why did they call me? Have they taken a fancy to my son?"
You're overthinking it!
Zhou Ye's mouth twitched...
He asked in a low voice, "Ladies, I just heard you say that a disfigured man has come to your village."
Yeah? "
The woman became noticeably more wary: "Why are you asking this? Who are you and what do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye's eyes turned pitiful, and she looked at the aunt with a wronged expression: "Sister, to be honest, it's too difficult for a young lady like me to go out!"
But I came to visit my grandfather.
My grandfather looks a lot like the disfigured people you're talking about, but he's not a bad person, he's a hero!
But he got old and was afraid of being a burden to us, so he left on his own!
I'm so anxious!
The two middle-aged women softened immediately when they saw Zhou Ye's slightly red eyes!
"Oh dear, young lady, don't cry! You're so pretty, and you don't sound like a local! Are you really here to see your grandfather?"
"Was your grandfather really a hero?"
"Yes, I swear to God!"
Zhou Ye raised his hands!
"Alright, young lady, it's like this. We're not afraid for you to know, but a while ago an old man did come to our village. Although he's an old man, he seems quite nimble-fed!"
His face was disfigured!
At first we didn't think much of it, but a few days ago we suddenly fell off the mountain and got a fever!
Our village chief insisted that he stay and take care of him!
We're scared! What if it's a bad person?
"However, from what you've said, if he's a hero, then we have nothing to be afraid of! Girl, your journey here must have been tough, right?"
Did you come alone?
There wasn't a single family member with him!
Another woman took a liking to Zhou Ye's appearance: "Girl, you came to see Grandpa alone. If your Grandpa wants to keep you here, will you stay?"
Have you said you're married yet?
Xie Jianshe stepped forward from behind and answered loudly, "Hello, elder sister, I am her husband!"
The two middle-aged women glanced over instinctively and clicked their tongues in disapproval...
Okay, I'll stop thinking about the rest!
"Alright, we understand. Girl, we're heading back now. Would you like to come back with us?"
The older women asked.
Zhou Ye readily agreed, "Sure. I'll go see if that person is my grandfather!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Along the way, Zhou chatted and laughed with the older women, making them all smiles.
"Sister, you look like you're only in your early twenties, how come your child is already a teenager?"
The aunt covered her mouth and chuckled: "You little rascal, how can you talk so well? I'm not in my early twenties at all!"
They got married at eighteen, and now they're both over thirty! Haha...
"That little girl has such a sweet tongue!"
"Yes, I love them all!"
She then asked curiously, "You're so beautiful, your man treats you well, right? Does he cherish you terribly?"
"Hehe...right? Tell me!"
Okay, who says people these days are conservative? This car is so fast, even Zhou can't keep up!
She could only blush and remain silent.
After finally arriving at the destination, the aunt introduced, "Girl, you don't need to be so formal. My husband's name is Hongqi, you can just call me Sister-in-law Hongqi!"
If you don't have anywhere to stay tonight, come to my place!
"There's still one empty room in my house!"
"Okay, thank you so much, big sister!"
"See that blue roof? That's the village chief's house. Go ask him; he's definitely still there."
If only it were your grandfather! You've had it tough, young lady! Searching all this way!
"Okay, thank you, ma'am!"
"You're welcome, it's nothing!"
Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe walked to the front of the house. Zhou Ye felt a mix of homesickness and trepidation.
"I'll do it!"
"Is anyone home?" Xie Jianshe called out first, heading into the house.
Who is it?
An older man answered.
Zhou Ye looked around at the houses; almost all of them were cave dwellings, except for this one, which was a house with blue bricks and tiles!
Soon someone entered the house. Zhou looked over and saw a man with a white towel on his head, carrying a pipe, coughing as he came out of the house.
He even spat in the yard!
"Who are you looking for?"
Xie Jianshe replied with a smile, "Sir, we're here to find someone! May I ask if an elderly person with disfigurement has come to your house?"
Their response was silence.
Zhou Ye spoke in a very soft voice, making herself appear less threatening.
"Sir, hello! I'm here to find someone. My grandfather left home some time ago and we haven't heard from him since."
I am anxious!
So, may I see if the person in your family is my grandfather?
"You've come to see your grandfather?"
"Yes!"
Zhou also answered seriously.
"I am the village chief here, please come in first!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Once inside, he simply sat in the main room; the village chief did not allow him to see the person he had saved.
"Village chief, you..."
"No rush, let me ask you first, what are the distinguishing features of that person? How can you prove that he is your grandfather?"
Zhou Ye remained calm: "Village chief, you've misunderstood. I don't even know if the person in your house is my grandfather."
I'm just here to see someone, and I want to take a closer look!
Then I described my grandfather's features, just in case it was him.
The village chief took a puff of his pipe: "Come with me!"
Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe followed behind them. They walked into a small room on the left. It was very dry inside, and an old man was lying on the earthen bed.
With his graying hair, Zhou knew at a glance who it was!
That was the grandfather who tricked me into getting married and then ran away!
She wanted to blame him, but seeing his silent state, she couldn't help but cry again!
She choked back tears and asked, "What happened to him?"
The village chief sighed. Wasn't it obvious? They must have found their relatives!
"Is this your grandfather? He came here a while ago asking about someone, and he's been coming every day! That day it was raining heavily, and no one dared to cross the road in front of us. Who knew this person would take the roundabout route around the mountain!"
It was washed down the mountain!
He had many scratches on his body, but fortunately none of them were fatal!
He probably caught a chill and has been running a high fever!
"He's taken some medicine, so we can only leave it to fate!"
Zhou immediately stepped forward to take her pulse and found that she had indeed been exposed to cold and was overworked, which caused her body to collapse.
Plus, I haven't been eating well! So I have very little resistance!
This grandpa is infuriating!
They insist on abandoning themselves and going their own way!
Now it's all good, lying down all the time, at least I can get some rest!
Even though I'm angry, I can't just ignore it!
"Thank you so much for taking him in!"
Zhou was filled with gratitude!
Fortunately, Zhou Ye always carried fever reducers and anti-inflammatory drugs with her!
I gave Grandpa some fever reducer and anti-inflammatory medicine, and half an hour later, I gave him a glucose bottle!
Only then did I have time to look after Grandpa. Grandpa's hair is getting whiter and whiter. When he first came out, it was a mix of white and black, but now it's all white!
Grandpa, why did you do this to yourself!
"Cough cough..."
Zhou Ye heard the sound and was instantly jolted awake from his thoughts!
"grandfather……?"
The person on the bed widened their eyes instantly, seemingly in disbelief...
