If the station wasn't there yet, then he might have already left the town. There were so many villages nearby, and if he ran in, he would have relied on the two of them. It wouldn't help if he rode the bike as fast as a rocket and didn't know his location!
After eating outside, the two went to the bus station to wait for people. There were not many people, and they didn't see the suspicious person the guard mentioned for a long time. Then they saw a man with his face covered and a cloth bag.
Shi Shichang waited for a long time, watching people and wondering who did it. Usually he and Xiang Ming worked diligently and never caused any trouble. His mind was in a mess, and he saw a man who looked very similar to the one described by the security guard, and he caught him without even saying hello to Xiang Ming.
Shi Shichang rushed forward and pulled him, "Stand still, don't move."
"Who are you? What are you doing? Why are you pulling me? I have something to do." The man roared at him roughly and was about to push the man away with the hand holding the bag.
Another man rushed up and grabbed his hand, preventing him from moving.
"Where did you hide the person? Tell me now, or you won't be able to leave!"
"Who are you? It's none of your business whether I leave or not!" The man swung his arms and threw the two men aside.
"Where are you going? Are you going alone?" Xiang Ming saw Shichang lying on the ground and unable to get up, so he hit the man's leg with his shoe as he was about to leave.
The man turned around with a fierce look in his eyes, which made Xiang Ming shudder and turn away without daring to look at him. He would not be surprised if he took out a knife from his bag. He was full of regret for being so impulsive just now. With his physique, he was going to hit others, and it would be more likely that he would be beaten!
"I'm going to work alone." Seeing that he was scared, I didn't look at him, replied him and prepared to get in the car.
Shi Shichang said with difficulty: "Excuse me, can you please let me see your face?"
"No, the car is here. Don't do this next time." The man said and ran to the car.
The car was going to the county town. Soon it was full of young people. After the car left, only the exhaust gas could be seen.
Shi Shichang smelled the exhaust gas and ignored what the man had just said. He thought about what the gatekeeper had said. He covered his face at night, but he certainly couldn't cover it during the day. His thinking had been wrong all along.
"It shouldn't be him. I made a mistake." Shi Shichang stopped Xiang Ming to prevent him from chasing the car.
Xiang Ming went to pick up his shoes and put them on. His clothes were all covered in dust, and so was his mouth. He had never suffered such an injustice since he became the mayor.
He stared at the back of the car until it became a tiny dot, then he looked away. He didn't understand how a good thing could be turned into this. And why would Shi Shichang, such a careful person, be so anxious to deliver the letter? Didn't he think that if he didn't do it right, he would burn them both to death?
"Let's go back first." Shi Shichang patted the dust off his body and also patted his back clean to avoid being gossiped about when he returned.
"Just go back?" Now he didn't understand. He was obviously very anxious, so how could he not be anxious now?
They parked their car nearby, but when they turned around, it was gone, not even a hair left. Xiang Ming's eyes widened in disbelief, and he stopped in his tracks for a moment, as if he had been hit on the head with a stick. Only then did he react and roared, "Which bastard did this?! If I catch you, I'll skin you alive!"
"Think about the bright side, it means that we..." The series of bad things made him a little overwhelmed, but Shi Shichang had to muster up his strength to face what was to come. If he fell, Xiang Ming alone would not be able to defeat them.
Now he has figured it out. This must be a trap they set up specifically to bring them down so that he can reap the benefits.
He already had in mind the person who was behind the scenes harming them, so he couldn't fall down now and had to go to work cleanly and decently.
When he and Xiang Ming returned to the town office, people passing by were whispering and pointing at them.
"What are you talking about? You have so much to say! Let me see if you have finished your work for today?" Xiang Ming walked over, and the man continued with the work in his hands and shut up. No one dared to speak anymore.
Back in the office, Xiang Ming propped up his head, feeling dizzy. Perhaps he had just fallen while struggling with the masked man. He wanted to bury his head in sleep for a while.
They caught the undercover agent yesterday. He went home and drank happily until midnight before going to bed. He was very sleepy.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"You feel dizzy, but it's nothing. Go and do your work!" Xiang Ming waved his hand and asked him to go out.
"Okay." Seeing that he said so, Shi Shichang didn't say much and went to deal with the piled up things.
In the village, Tian Xiaolan waited at home for almost a day but received no news. She couldn't wait any longer and planned to go to the town to see if anything had happened.
Then I heard a small voice outside the door: "Master, master, come here!"
As he spoke, the dog continued to bark, threatening to bite him if he came in.
"Xiao Hei, stop shouting." Tian Xiaolan shouted.
Xiao Hei seemed to understand what she said. He gradually stopped barking and lay back in the shade to drink water.
"What brings you here?"
Wei Wenjie looked around and found no one around, so he dared to say, "Master, didn't you ask me to tell the person I found your address? Did he give you any trouble?"
Li Weimin went to the river to fish with them, so he was alone.
"He didn't make things difficult for me. He's a nice guy. Why are you asking that?" Tian Xiaolan was a little confused and didn't understand why he asked that.
"Anything else?"
Wei Wenjie said, "Oh, right. I saw him anxiously looking for someone this morning. I wonder if it has anything to do with you!"
Combined with the issue of their test papers, the results should be out soon, but there is no news yet. Maybe they are also encountering difficulties.
So she said calmly, "I'll go to town with you and have dinner at my house before we leave."
Today was not a market day, and there were no cars, so they had to walk. But it was almost noon, so she went to the kitchen to cook first.
Wei Wenjie was also very considerate and came to add wood to the fire, and took the initiative to talk about his studies: "Master, I can already recite those characters."
“Well, can you write now?”
Unexpectedly, she would not test him as she said last time, but instead asked him if he could write. He usually wrote on the floor with a branch, but he didn't know if what he wrote was correct.
Tian Xiaolan found a piece of cold charcoal from the firewood she had burned earlier and handed it to him, "Write a few for me to see."
"I don't think I can do it!" Wei Wenjie said hesitantly, very unconfident.
"Come and try, you can do it, I believe in you!" Tian Xiaolan cheered him on.
He seemed to feel some power through her eyes. When he slowly grasped the piece of charcoal, he squatted down and slowly drew the first stroke on the uneven ground.
His arm blocked Tian Xiaolan's view, so she couldn't see what he was writing.
