After dinner, the brother and sister sat on the kang and talked. Xu An told them what he had learned from the male educated youth today.
The man had been to the Youth League Home several times. One time, when Liu Fang was not there, Liu Shaojie asked him to go into the house and sit for a while. He told Liu Shaojie that his name was Wang Daqiang and he was from Dawangzhuang. His sister had married and moved to the city and his brother-in-law worked in a meat processing factory. ”
Xu Ning knew Dawangzhuang, which was very close to the city, right next to the archway. Now that he knew the address and name, it would be easy.
Xu An asked, "Sister, what should we do now?"
Xu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let's not move yet and see what Liu Fang wants to do. Be careful during this period."
She went outside to take a look again. The courtyard wall was very high, the back door was very strong, and the door to the house was also safe. Even if someone broke in, she had a way to deal with it.
Liu Fang was not seen at work the next day. Wei Lanlan said she had asked for leave. The man came to pick her up on a bike this morning, and the two went into the city.
Xu Ning went back after finishing her work. The sun was a little strong these two days, so she planned to water the vegetables.
When she was almost at the Youth League Home, she saw Liu Fang talking to a man at the door. When they saw her coming, they both looked at her. Xu Ning walked over without looking away, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the man, who was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a somewhat obscene look in his eyes.
Liu Fang knew that Xu Ning usually got off work at about this time, so she deliberately brought Wang Daqiang here to wait for her today.
Liu Fang saw that everyone had gone far away, but Wang Daqiang was still staring at her. He laughed inwardly and said, "She is also from our Youth Home, but her family is well-off and she has built her own house now.
Her family sent her 30 yuan every month, as well as various tickets. She earned a lot of work points, and I heard that she had at least a few hundred yuan in her hands. She was the richest person in our Youth League Institute, and she even had a bicycle. ”
Wang Daqiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked greedily at Xu Ning who had returned home. The little girl was good-looking, and even her loose clothes could not hide her graceful figure. She also had 30 yuan a month and various tickets, as well as several hundred yuan in savings.
He turned back, looked at Liu Fang and smiled, "Baby, don't care what she does. You are the best in my heart. Let's go to your room and talk."
As he was about to pull Liu Fang into the house, Liu Fang looked at his big yellow teeth and smiled with disgust, "Brother Daqiang, the people from the Youth Institute will be off work soon. It's not good if they see us. I'll go to your house next time."
Wang Daqiang looked at her unhappily. This damn girl always said "next time, next time". He has been dating her for half a year but still hasn't succeeded.
Seeing that he was a little angry, Liu Fang continued talking about Xu Ning, "Brother Daqiang, I know you are good to me, but my family is not well off. I don’t even have the money to buy you a gift. Unlike Xu Ning, my family will buy you whatever you want." Her eyes became red after she said this.
Wang Daqiang felt distressed when he saw her like this, and he started to coax her again, looking in the direction Xu Ning had gone, and asked, "This woman built a house. Does she live alone?"
Liu Fang lowered her eyes, hiding the smile in her eyes, and said, "She has a younger brother who lives with her, but that brother is only in his teens and can't work as well as a girl."
Liu Fang took Wang Daqiang for a walk around again and inadvertently mentioned the structure of Xu Ning's house.
He sighed again and said, "She didn't get along with the people in our Youth Academy, so she opened a back door near Daqing Mountain. Many people advised her that it was too remote and if something happened, we wouldn't know about it. But she didn't listen and insisted on opening a back door there."
Wang Daqiang looked at the inconspicuous back door. It was quite far away from the Youth League Home and there was a high wall in between. Even if something happened, no one would see it.
Through the crack of the back door, Xu Ning saw two people standing on the road. Liu Fang was pointing over here and talking to Wang Daqiang, while Wang Daqiang was talking and looking around.
Xu Ning kept staring at Wang Daqiang. When he saw him walk around the wall outside the Youth League House, he went back with Liu Fang.
When Xu An came back, he saw Xu Ning fetching water to water the vegetables. He put down his schoolbag and went to cook.
While eating, Xu Ning told him what happened to Wang Daqiang and Liu Fang just now.
"Sister, what should we do now?"
Xu Ning said, "Today's incident must have been planned by Liu Fang. I see Wang Daqiang is observing everywhere here. He should come at night in the next two days. Be alert when you sleep at night."
Xu An said, "Sister, should we tell Dad and the others?"
Xu Ning finished the rice in his bowl and said, "No need. We can't let Dad and the others get involved in this matter. He can bring two or three people at most, and we can handle it."
Xu Ning still went to work as usual. Xu An did not go to the fields to earn work points for the past two days. He went to bed after school and got up to keep watch at night.
Around early morning on the third night, Xu An heard some noise outside and immediately woke up Xu Ning.
The brother and sister gently pulled down the bolt and hid behind the door with a stick each.
The door was pushed open from the outside. Under the moonlight, Xu Ning saw two figures outside. The one who opened the door asked softly, "Qiangzi, why is this door not bolted?"
Wang Daqiang, who was standing behind him, also whispered, "It's like this in the countryside. When the main gate is closed, the inner doors are not locked."
The two people outside the door walked in quietly. The brother and sister waited for both of them to come in, then hit them with a club. The two fell down instantly. Xu Ning was worried, so he hit another person with the club. Xu An hurriedly tied up the two with a rope.
"Sister, I'll watch them here, you go and call the village chief uncle,"
Xu Ning said, "Wait a moment, I want to talk to them. Go get some water and splash them with it to wake them up. Forget it, just get a needle and prick them with it to wake them up. The room is very wet because of the water."
After thinking for a while, he said, "When I ask Wang Daqiang a question later, you cooperate with me and say this..."
Xu An nodded after listening, and went to the house to get a needle that his sister used to make shoes, and pricked the two men's arms and thighs with it. After being pricked awake, the two men screamed in pain and struggled, but found that they were tied up tightly. They were stunned. Didn't they say that there was only a little girl and a sick boy in this family?
Xu Ning saw that the two had woken up and said, "I know you. I saw you and Liu Fang together that day. Did he ask you to come?"
Xu An said from the side, "Sister, was it Liu Fang who asked him to come? Is she still holding a grudge against you for beating her last year? I knew she wasn't a good person. You were clearly helping her, but she repaid her with hatred. Last time when her boyfriend came, she even asked him to ignore me."
Wang Daqiang didn't want to mention Liu Fang at first, but when he heard this he said angrily, "What the hell are you talking about? I'm Liu Fang's girlfriend."
Xu An said disdainfully, "Liu Fang likes you, but how can you compare to her boyfriend? She is younger than you, better looking than you, and a factory worker. They have been dating for two years and are getting married at the end of this year."
Wang Daqiang was lying on the ground and said angrily, "I am her boyfriend, who should she marry? I don't think she dares."
Xu Ning said, "Xiao An, why waste time talking to him? Ride your bike and find the village chief and send them to the police station."
Wang Daqiang was still talking angrily, saying that he was Liu Fang's boyfriend. The other one shrank to the side, too scared to move.
