Soon, news that the village chief Meng Chengliang might have been in trouble spread throughout the village.
Unlike Feng Yijia's disappearance, Wang Cui and her son did not need to step in. The militia captain Meng Jiemin who lived next door led a dozen young men out of the village to look for her.
At this time, Meng Sheng had been walking for more than half an hour with the tall and strong Meng Chengliang on his back. Even though he felt that he had gained a lot of strength after being reborn, he was still very tired carrying a big man weighing 150 to 160 kilograms.
When I was about to enter the village, I saw a group of people coming over and breathed a sigh of relief.
From a distance, someone shouted loudly, "Uncle Jiemin, hurry, help!
Uncle Liang is seriously injured and unconscious!"
These words made the group of people, who were already running fast, start running immediately.
If not for Meng Chengliang, then for Meng Jiefang. One is the top leader of the village, and the other is a capable man in the county. There are many things that come to them for help.
If not now, when?
It is true that the villagers are simple and honest, but the truth that everyone comes and goes for profit is true everywhere.
Some of them may not have heard this sentence, but it does not prevent them from acting according to it instinctively.
The person on Meng Sheng's back was quickly taken away and carefully carried to Doctor Zhang's house.
Meng Jiemin, the team leader, checked on the village chief and saw that he was not in danger. He stopped and looked at Meng Sheng, who was sweating and panting, and asked, "What's going on?"
Meng Sheng looked exhausted, with sweat dripping down his face. He leaned against someone as if he had no bones, forcing the strong Meng Jiemin to take two steps back before he could stand firm. He replied, "Uncle Liang and I came back from the city by bus this afternoon. We walked on the mountain road for almost an entire night and were fine.
Who knew that before dawn the cow went crazy and ran so hard that it threw both of us off the car.
You also know that the roads out of the mountains are narrow, and we all rolled down the slope along the side of the road like gourds.
We were lucky that the slope wasn't too steep or too long, otherwise we might all have had to eat a feast today."
"By the time I had finally managed to climb back down the slope and found Uncle Liang, he was already unconscious and couldn't be woken up, and the ox cart had disappeared.
I could only carry the person on my back and walk back slowly, but I was so tired! "
Meng Jiemin frowned at the stench of sweat on his body, but he didn't doubt his words. He just asked, "Mountain roads are difficult to walk on. Why are you traveling at night?"
Meng Sheng hesitated for a moment before whispering, as if he had nothing to say: "Uncle Jiefang divorced Aunt Hongying and took Meng Huan back to her parents' home. Meng Le has no one to take care of him, so Uncle Liang hurried back to take Grandma to the city to do the laundry and cooking!"
Divorce at this time is a big deal.
Meng Jiemin was stunned by what he heard. After coming to his senses, he whispered, "Why did they get divorced? Didn't they always get along well?"
This time Meng Sheng didn't answer. He didn't want his powerful enemy to bear a grudge against him.
The best way is to attack them unexpectedly when they are unprepared and to hide in their back and stab them at any time.
He just said perfunctorily: "I don't know what happened either. When Uncle Liang wakes up, ask him. He will definitely know!"
After hearing this, Meng Jiemin stopped asking questions.
After retiring from the army, he served as a militia captain in the village for more than ten years. He dealt with all kinds of trivial matters and learned a principle of doing things.
That is to just muddle along and not get to the bottom of things, otherwise you will get yourself into a lot of trouble.
Seeing that Meng Sheng's exposed arm was covered in dirt and blood, he also helped him go to Doctor Zhang's house.
After walking a few steps, he met Meng Chenglin and his two sons who came looking for him anxiously.
Seeing that Meng Sheng had relatives to take care of him, Meng Jimin no longer cared about him and followed the group of people who were walking away in front.
Meng Qiang looked at his second brother in such a state of disarray, and with red eyes, he took a few steps forward to help him up, muttering, "If I had known you were going to travel overnight, I should have brought you back with me yesterday."
"I'm fine, just some minor skin injuries. Don't cry like a girl!" Meng Sheng rested for a while and recovered most of his strength. Not wanting his family to worry, he stood up straight and teased his younger brother with a smile.
Meng Chenglin looked his son up and down and was relieved to see that nothing serious was happening to him.
He took a few steps forward, slapped the man's shoulder vigorously, and asked, "What's going on? How dare you drive a carriage over mountains and hills in the dark?"
Is there anything that can’t wait until dawn to come back?”
The eldest brother, Meng Chao, also joined in the conversation: "Exactly. Look at the villagers, who dares to travel at night? Aren't they afraid of being taken away by wolves?"
Meng Sheng looked at his three closest relatives and knew he would have to tell his mother again when he got home. He thought that Doctor Zhang probably wouldn't be able to treat his wounds anytime soon, so he said, "It's not easy to talk about this on the street. Let's go home first and talk about it when we get home!"
When the group returned home, Meng Sheng washed and changed his clothes, simply rinsed his wound with wine, and sent away the donkey cart and driver he had found yesterday.
Then I told everyone in detail about my return to the village.
Of course, he kept the little tricks he did a secret.
Afraid that his two brothers might keep their mouths shut and the news would spread from his home, he secretly told his parents the reason for Meng Jiefang's divorce.
As for the oath he made to Meng Chengliang yesterday, he had long forgotten it.
In his view, those insincere vows were just a means to gain trust.
After hearing the whole story, Chen Hongxing glared at her husband and cursed, "None of you men are good."
Meng Sheng, who was standing aside, was speechless, thinking that this was probably what others said about being shot even when lying down.
Meng Chenglin also felt that it was unkind of his brother to do such a thing.
Without refutation, he awkwardly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this for now, it's none of our business.
