268: What is that girl doing?
One of Yu Xiaoye's reasons for coming to the propaganda team was for Shao Xia.
These days, perhaps because she was always keeping an eye on Shao Xia, she did not encounter the militia bully in the book.
She was worried that if she was not there, Shao Xia would run into that person?
Although I was only away for one day, a lot of things happened in that day.
After thinking about it, Yu Xiaoye took advantage of the break in rehearsal to quietly tell Shao Xia not to run around or stay alone during his absence. She should rehearse when she was supposed to and return to the dormitory after rehearsal, and not stay in irrelevant places.
Shao Xia didn't quite understand what Yu Xiaoye meant, but she still promised not to go anywhere else.
Only then did Yu Xiaoye feel a little relieved.
In the afternoon, Liang Qin asked Section Chief Cui to help find a large truck heading to the general farm, and let Yu Xiaoye take the truck to the county town.
As soon as Yu Xiaoye left, Liang Qin went to Director Sui's office and called Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng answered the phone.
Liang Qin did not name the person, but said:
"I'm going to ask Yu Xiaoye to go to the Propaganda Department to learn a play. Please help arrange it there and tell the people in the Propaganda Department in advance. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will make things difficult for her."
On the phone, Zhou Ziheng cheered up:
"Okay, when will she come?"
"Already gone."
"Already here?" Zhou Ziheng seemed a little surprised. "Why are you here at this time? Not during the day?"
Liang Qin explained:
"I asked her to go during the day tomorrow, but she said she wanted to go the night before to visit her aunt, who lives in the county town. She will stay there tonight."
"Oh——" Zhou Ziheng responded thoughtfully.
Liang Qin finished speaking and was about to hang up the phone.
Zhou Ziheng suddenly asked on the phone:
"Which car did she take, what was the license plate number, and where did she get off?"
Liang Qin laughed. This guy is still thinking about it.
Liang Qin wanted to say something, but seeing that there were other people in the office, it was inconvenient to speak, so she replied in a very calm tone:
"She was in a grain truck, the license plate number was XXX. I don't know exactly where she was going to get off, but she should have discussed it with the driver herself."
Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng sighed on the phone.
There seemed to be some dissatisfaction in this sigh.
Liang Qin was a little confused about what Zhou Ziheng was complaining about, or what he was worried about.
It was not convenient to ask too clearly over the phone, so I just said, "Don't forget to help arrange it tomorrow," and then hung up.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Ziheng couldn't sit still after he put down the phone.
It was already time to get off work, Secretary Jiang had already gone to eat, and only Xiao Gu was left in the office.
Xiao Gu was wiping here and sweeping there, looking for something to do. He was anxious to get off work, but he didn't dare leave too early without the manager's permission. He just leaned against the manager, hoping that he would finish his work and leave quickly.
Zhou Ziheng was busy with a report in his hand and planned to leave work after finishing the report.
But after answering the phone, he put the report away and locked it in the drawer, then found the key to his bicycle, got up and walked out quickly.
What is that girl doing?
Yu Xiaoye's little tricks may deceive others, but not Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng didn’t believe that she had any aunt in the county town!
The last time I came to the county town, I fell asleep on the sofa in Zhou Ziheng's house and spilled my menstrual blood on the sofa cushion. Zhou Ziheng wanted to ask her about it, but she was so busy with her period that she forgot about it.
The last time they came to the county town was when they ate fried dough sticks together in a breakfast shop. At that time, Zhou Ziheng didn't want to ruin the atmosphere between them, so he didn't mention it. He planned to interrogate him thoroughly after dinner.
As a result, when they were riding their bikes on the road after dinner, another small accident happened. He couldn't help but grab her hand, which made him confused and forgot about it.
This matter has been put on hold.
I didn't expect this girl to do this again. She came to the county town late at night, under the pretext of going to her aunt's house and didn't come back home all night. I don't know what she is doing, but it must be something bad.
Zhou Ziheng did not waste a moment. He went down the office building and came to the bicycle shed in front. He pushed his bicycle out of the general farm compound and went straight to the headquarters of Mishan Farm where he had visited last time to wait for the big truck.
No matter where the truck goes or what goods it delivers, it will definitely be returned to the yard at night.
So he kept waiting at the gate of the yard.
I waited all the way to Muye Sihe and finally saw the car that Liang Qin mentioned. The license plate number was exactly the same.
Zhou Ziheng walked forward and gestured to the driver to stop the car under the light of the car lights.
When the driver saw that it was the director, he immediately stopped the car and jumped out of the cab. Zhou Ziheng just walked to the door and asked:
"From the Five Points field?"
The driver was very nervous, not knowing why the director stopped his car, and answered "yes" anxiously.
"Where is the person you were asked to bring?"
“—already got off the bus.”
Zhou Ziheng's heart sank:
"Where did you get off?"
The truck driver frowned and thought for a moment:
"It's when we're almost at the county town."
"Be more specific."
The truck driver pondered:
"——Just when we were almost to the county town, there was a bridge over the river. We went down just after crossing that bridge."
Zhou Ziheng nodded slightly, probably knowing which bridge it was, a rather old bridge whose name he couldn't name. He then asked:
"What was she wearing? Did she bring anything with her?"
"She was wearing the work clothes our farm gave her and carrying a flowered bag. She had nothing else with her."
"Okay, I get it. Return the car."
Zhou Ziheng turned around and rode his bicycle.
He left, leaving the truck driver with a confused look on his face.
At this time, the sun had completely set below the horizon, leaving only an orange-red sunset glow on the horizon.
Zhou Ziheng didn't find anyone, so he should go back.
But looking at the dark earth, I always feel uneasy:
What was that heartless girl doing in that place?
I used to think she was just wandering around the county town, but I didn't expect her to get off the bus before the county town. What if something happened in the middle of nowhere? There would be no one to turn to for help. I don't know how this girl could be so brave!
Zhou Ziheng was worried about this troublesome girl, so he rode his bike for seven or eight miles in the sunset and arrived near the bridge that the driver mentioned.
At this time, the sunset glow in the sky had almost faded, but fortunately the stars had risen and with the starlight shining, it was not too dark.
Zhou Ziheng reached the bridge and looked around. On one side was the river with waves rolling under the starry sky, and on the other side was the dirt road along the river.
There was no human voice around, only the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs.
I felt lost and confused, not knowing where she could go.
Zhou Ziheng stood on the bridge for a while as if he had lost his soul. After a while, he seemed to see a figure moving stealthily on the other side of the river. Then he looked into the woods by the river and vaguely made out that there seemed to be lights flashing above the woods.
