"Tingyun, I know you feel sorry for me and want to help me vent my anger, but I'm afraid of the gossip, I..." Xu Erhua tried her best to dissuade him.
Li Tingyun finally nodded and agreed, but she knew that no matter whether the person behind the scenes was coming for her or Erhua, there would definitely be a second time after the first time.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and the old village chief's voice came from outside: "Tingyun, Erhua, come out. I'll take care of things for you!"
Hearing the old village chief's voice, Li Tingyun opened the door.
At this time, Erniu had returned with the villagers, still holding the stolen goods in his hands, and an old man was also brought back with him.
The old man is none other than Hammer Dad.
Seeing Hammer's father being arrested, Hammer's mother hurried forward and tried to push away the villagers who were holding her husband, but was pulled aside by Xiaozhuang's mother and the other two aunts.
"Hammer Dad, you are really brave. Not only are you greedy for money, but you even dare to steal the things that the government rewards Comrade Li Tingyun. You are really bold. Erniu, tie him up and send him to the police station in the city." The captain spoke from the side.
"Hammer Dad, you actually stole the government reward for Comrade Li Tingyun. If this gets out, it will bring shame to our village. You must give it back!" The old village chief roared angrily.
After hearing what the village chief said, the villagers also started shouting.
"We must not tolerate this kind of thing. If it gets out, people will think that the people in our village have dirty hands!"
"That's right. Who would dare to marry a girl to our village then?"
"My third child hasn't even gotten married yet. This matter must be severely punished."
With the support of the villagers, the village chief asked Erniu to take Hammer Dad away immediately. Even if he was not sentenced to death, he would have to be sent to a farm for reform for a few years.
When Hammer's mother heard this, she was obviously a little panicked. She wanted to say something, but she was worried that her son's affairs would be exposed, which would be bad for her son.
"You can't take my man away. He is the main labor force in my family..." After she said that, she was about to pull the people away, but was pressed to the ground by Xiaozhuang's mother and others.
Seeing that Li Tingyun stopped talking, Chen Tie decided not to pursue the matter any further. After all, they really didn't have any evidence at the moment, and they were at a disadvantage this time.
In addition, they probably also took Xu Erhua's reputation into consideration, so they didn't dwell on the matter.
The villagers followed Erniu and left, and the yard suddenly became empty.
The captain stepped forward and closed the door, then asked Chen Tie and Xu Erhua, "What exactly is going on?"
"When I came in, I did see that man covering Xu Erhua's mouth. I can swear on my life." Chen Tie usually handles a lot of cases, but he has never been so cowardly.
"I also swear, that person said Li Tingyun was bitten by a snake, so I rushed to save him, and when I turned around, he attacked me." Xu Erhua knew that the team leader and the old village chief really wanted to help her.
Upon hearing this, the old village chief was furious. However, thinking of Erhua's reputation, he sighed helplessly: "Hammer Mom is a difficult person to deal with. If there is no more evidence, Hammer Mom will definitely make trouble and ruin Erhua's reputation."
"Yes, that guy is a troublemaker. If Erhua were to pursue the matter further, it would not be a good thing." The captain was somewhat helpless about this matter.
"Is that it?" Li Tingyun said angrily.
The team leader and the old village chief were speechless. They thought that the matter could only be forgotten. Although this place was quiet to live in, it also had certain drawbacks.
"I've been asking around these past few days to see if there's a place that keeps dogs. Let's keep a dog in the yard, Erhua, and take him wherever he goes in the future." After the old village chief said this, he looked at the two of them.
"Okay!" The two responded in unison.
After agreeing, Li Tingyun added, "I found a dog on the mountain today, but I didn't dare bring it down with me because there were too many people. You guys wait, I'll bring that one down right away. When the time comes, I'll get another one and I'll give it another good training."
"Then you better get it back quickly, otherwise if someone sees it, it will become a dog meat dinner." The captain urged Li Tingyun to drive the dog down quickly.
"People here still eat dogs?" Xu Erhua asked in disbelief.
"Of course you won't eat it. Dog meat is also called fragrant meat. Some time ago, the dog of Old Wu's family was buried and dug up by someone." The old village chief told the whole story.
Li Tingyun, however, was not surprised. When there was really nothing to eat, people would even chew on tree bark, let alone a dog.
She turned and walked out of the yard, intending to get Heifeng out of the space, but saw Gu Xingwu following her out the door.
"Go back and wait, don't follow me." She turned around and said to Gu Xingwu, then went to the bamboo forest alone.
Gu Xingwu stood at the gate of the yard and watched Li Tingyun's disappearing back, without entering the yard.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Zhuang's mother hurried into the yard and said, "Oh no! Hammer's father has run off to the mountains."
The old village chief knew what the villagers were thinking and thought that the matter could be let go.
That’s nice to think about, but it’s impossible this time!
When he thought about it, he roared in anger, "The monk may run away, but the temple cannot. If he doesn't go, then let his wife go."
After saying that, he walked out with Xiaozhuang's mother.
The captain was afraid of something happening, so he followed.
Only Chen Tie and Xu Erhua were left in the yard. They were a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Chen Tie simply went to the door to call Gu Xingwu in to talk, but Gu Xingwu stood there like an electric pole and could not be pulled in no matter how hard he tried.
After Li Tingyun arrived at the bamboo forest and entered the space, he was very angry and had to give Heifeng a few words of advice, telling him not to make the wrong call and cause unnecessary trouble.
After teaching for about twenty minutes, she saw that there was no one outside, so she hurriedly tied Heifeng with a hemp rope and came out of the bamboo forest.
After going down the mountain, she picked up the firewood that she had thrown aside and carried it back to the yard.
When Gu Xingwu saw Li Tingyun coming back, he quickly went up to pick up the load of firewood and followed him back to the yard.
Looking at this scene, Chen Tie felt that the husband and wife were in harmony, and he felt that the two of them were a perfect match.
He followed the two men into the yard and gave the things he got to Erniu as evidence. He could only eat here for free today.
After returning to the yard and closing the door, Li Tingyun patted Heifeng's head and introduced him, "I named him Heifeng. Heifeng, go smell everyone and don't yell at your own people."
Woof woof woof!
Heifeng called out to them twice, introducing himself.
Chen Tie squatted down and looked at Heifeng carefully. He felt that he didn't look like a dog, but he didn't look like a wolf either.
Gu Xingwu had seen Heifeng before in the mountains, and he was sure that Heifeng was a wolf, but he didn't know what method Tingyun used to make a wolf learn to bark like a dog. It was really incredible.
"Tingyun, where did you pick up this dog?" Chen Tie felt that something was wrong with the dog.
