Xu Xiangdong had heard Xu Dahahua talk about Tao Wenwen and knew that she had been very busy recently.
"Seeing you're so busy, you must not know yet. The town has been in turmoil recently. Children were kidnapped in Changning Village and Ankou Village. The village chief is worried. For the safety of our village, he arranged for a man from each household to take turns to keep watch. Tonight is my turn." Xu Xiangdong explained.
After saying that, he asked again: "Even though they caught a child, it's definitely not safe for a girl like you to go out. Why didn't you stay home so late at night and go out? I heard Aunt Min hasn't come back yet!"
After saying this, Xu Xiangdong also walked up to Tao Wenwen. Although he didn't directly ask who Shi Wangting was, the scrutiny and vigilance in his eyes did not diminish at all.
Tao Wenwen is simple and has only just recovered from her illness. She has no idea how treacherous people are in this world and is definitely easy to be deceived!
He has received so much care from Wang Xiaomin, and now that she is not at home, it is natural for him to take good care of Tao Wenwen for her!
Xu Xiangdong thought about it, raised the simple oil lamp made of a glass bottle in his hand in front of Shi Wangting, and asked Tao Wenwen, "Who is he?"
Tao Wenwen explained: "I am the son of Uncle Shi."
Xu Xiangdong knew that the Uncle Shi she was talking about was her stepfather Shi Qingyuan. Judging from his appearance, he guessed that he must be older than Tao Wenwen, so he must be her brother.
He felt relieved and put down the oil lamp in his hand. He asked, "Where are you going in the dark at this time of night?"
"Who is he?" Shi Wangting also asked.
However, there was an indescribable sour taste in his words.
Shi Wangting thought that Tao Wenwen only called Shi Mohuai and Shi Zengyue "brother", but he didn't expect that he also called others "brother" in public.
He knew that Wang Xiaomin only had Tao Wenwen as her child, so the Brother Niu that Tao Wenwen mentioned definitely had nothing to do with Tao Wenwen.
At most, he's a neighbor, right?
She actually calls the man next door "brother" and is not happy to call him that.
Uncle Shi’s son, how do you call that an introduction?
Shi Wangting felt aggrieved and his expression was aggrieved. It was a pity that Tao Wenwen didn't see it because it was a dark and windy night.
Tao Wenwen simply introduced them to each other and confirmed that they knew each other before answering Xu Xiangdong, "Something happened at home. I have to go to the police station tonight. I plan to ask Zhang Kongming to help me call an ox cart."
"What's so serious that we need to go to the police station?"
Xu Xiangdong couldn't help but start to worry, and said, "It's easy to ask for an ox cart. I'll call one for you. It's too troublesome to go to Shangnan Village and knock on the door to call Zhang Kongming at night. I'll just call one for you!"
"Don't you still have to patrol?" Tao Wenwen asked.
Xu Xiangdong said, "I just finished patrolling. It won't take long to call an oxcart. I'll call one for you and then I'll come back for patrol. It won't delay anything!"
Since that was the case, Tao Wenwen agreed without hesitation and said, "Thank you, Brother Niu."
"We're just friends, why are you being so polite to me?" Xu Xiangdong led the way with Tao Wenwen and asked again, "But what happened?"
People in the countryside are kind-hearted and also very curious.
Tao Wenwen said "oh" and remembered that she had not yet explained to Xu Xiangdong the whole story of why she had to go to the police station, so she told him the whole story.
Xu Xiangdong listened to the several times of screaming in fear and said, "Fortunately, your eldest brother is here. It's good to have a backbone. If you stayed home alone in this situation, it would be terrible!"
