The next morning, Su He got up early, had breakfast at a nearby state-run restaurant, and then took Da Hei, who had been out all night, to the Zhou family brigade below.
Before she arrived, she had already found out that the rescued girl was named Zhou Dandan, the same age as Hu Xing's younger sister Hu Tao, also 16 years old this year, and had just graduated from junior high school and would be starting high school in the fall.
My hometown is Zhoujia Brigade, which is under Danyang County.
Su He first took a car to the town, and then inquired about the situation of Zhoujia Brigade. However, the result was not good. Just from the name, it was clear that almost everyone living there was a member of the Zhou family, so there was bound to be some xenophobia.
However, she did not give up. Seeing that she had wasted a lot of time and it was already past nine o'clock in the morning, she hurried towards the Zhou family brigade.
Because she was afraid that Zhou Dandan's parents would be suspicious, she did not come in police uniform, but in ordinary clothes. No one who saw her along the way thought it was strange.
However, she was stopped when she reached the entrance of Zhoujia Brigade Village.
Unexpectedly, there were people at the village entrance, who asked her what she was doing when they saw her coming.
Su He was surprised, but a bad feeling crept into her heart. She kept her expression unchanged and said, "I'm going to my aunt's house in Sunjia Brigade. What's wrong? Is this road off-limits?"
The people from Zhou's brigade were less nervous after hearing this. "Oh, you're going to Sun's brigade? Which one? I've never seen you before."
The interrogative tone made Su He frown. "I went to Sun Wangcai's house, so what? Who are you people, and why are you asking me all these questions? What's going on? Why are you stopping me?"
Her question made the people in Zhoujia Brigade a little embarrassed. They looked at each other, and finally one of them spoke up: "It's nothing. It's just that our brigade has been robbed recently, so strangers are not allowed to enter. If you want to go to Sunjia Brigade, just turn around and take the small road ahead. Don't take the road that leads to our brigade."
Su He frowned after hearing this. In fact, she had already inquired before she came that Zhou Family Brigade was very close to the town, so people had to pass through their area to go to other brigades.
She originally planned to use this as an excuse to enter their village, but she never expected that she wouldn't even be able to enter the village now.
I wonder if it was the girl's family's idea?
But do they really have the power to make everyone in the village listen to them? And are the people here really that united? You know, doing this would offend several villages!
Or are they just preventing strangers from leaving, while allowing acquaintances to leave?
Su He wasn't quite sure, so she pretended to be unhappy and said, "Why should I take that narrow path? It's so narrow and a detour! Why can't I take this path? This is everyone's path, not just your Zhou family's path!"
Upon hearing her words, the Zhou family brigade said directly, "Anyway, you can't leave. If you insist on going in, be careful we'll treat you like a thief and send you to the police station."
Su He pretended to be angry and said, "You guys are too domineering!"
However, seeing how unyielding the Zhou family's group was, she knew she couldn't get in through the intersection, so she pretended to be angry and left via a side path.
The people from Zhou's brigade breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she wasn't making a scene.
However, Su He frowned as she turned her head.
I didn't expect the Zhou family brigade to be so strict. I don't even know if Hu Xing has left.
Seeing that she couldn't enter the Zhou family brigade openly, Su He had to think of other ways, but fortunately she had made preparations beforehand.
