The sun was shining brightly, and he was so tired that his legs gave out and he couldn't even pedal the bike anymore. His tongue was sticking out from the heat. He left in such a hurry that he didn't bring anything with him and hadn't even eaten yet.
"Wu Baopi, you don't care about anything and ask me to do everything. I am your dog! Other dogs have food to eat, but I have nothing." He looked at the dogs lying comfortably on the roadside to bask in the sun, unlike him who was pedaling his bike miserably with a large wet spot on his back.
When he arrived at Wangjia Village, he saw a white-haired old man and asked, "Uncle, do you know where Li Weiguo's country is?"
The old man stopped herding the cattle and squinted his eyes and asked, "What country?"
"Li Weiguo!" This time Zhou Dayong deliberately raised his voice, hoping that he could hear clearly. If there was no one around, he would not have hesitated to ask him.
"What pears? I don't have any pears at home!" The old man waved his hands, feeling speechless.
Zhou Dayong repeated it twice and lost his patience. He asked him if he could hear anything clearly, so he said unscrupulously: "You old man, you are a little hard of hearing!"
"You little bastard, you're scolding me, right?" The old man was so angry that he beat him with a long stick he used to drive cattle and would not stop until he killed him.
Zhou Dayong was beaten and dodged everywhere. No one figured out why he only listened to the bad things and not the good things about him, and no one looked for the problem in him.
"Just die soon! There are so many things going on!"
After being chased, he got into the car and rode a few more steps before entering the village. There were only some women and old ladies basking in the sun in the village. He didn't even ask them, but when these people saw him, they hid in their houses.
He originally wanted to knock on the door, but then he thought that if he was mistaken for someone looking for a secret meeting, not only would he be in trouble, but nothing would be found out either.
He was riding his bike while looking around, and was riding around the winding road. He didn't see the raised stone slab in front of him, and he bumped into it, knocking him to the ground.
His idea of looking for someone was that Shi Shichang would be in these remote woods, so he rode his bike there. Unexpectedly, he hit a rock and fell down. He used his hands to support himself and got down without any injuries.
Just as he expected, Shi Shichang really went to a remote place. He ran into Shi Shichang as soon as he got up. Not only was he alone, but there was also a man and a woman following him.
Shi Shichang chatted with the girl from time to time, and the man followed behind like a bodyguard. As long as someone did something bad to her, the man in a vest with his big muscles exposed would use the sickle in his hand to chop people.
He didn't dare to go up and question him, but Shi Shichang saw Zhou Dayong with his car parked on the side and asked, "Why are you here too?" He usually followed him, but this time he didn't tell anyone. He just came here like a dog, following the smell.
Zhou Dayong looked at them and smiled awkwardly, "Hahaha, what a coincidence, Deputy Director Shi, I came here to ask some questions about the information, why are you here too?" He pretended to ask casually. Although he already knew that he was looking for Li Weiguo, Li Weiguo sounded like a man's name. Why was he chatting so enthusiastically with the girl? Could it be that he fell in love with her?
But Zhou Dayong vaguely remembered that he already had a family, so why was he still having affairs outside? It was worth his trip, he was caught!
"I have something to do. Don't worry about me. Just do your thing!" Shi Shichang didn't want to talk to him any more, so he planned to leave after saying that.
Seeing that Shichang was not panicked at all and was as normal as usual, he couldn't help but doubt himself. Could it be that he was really overthinking it?
"Okay, you guys go ahead." He pushed the car aside to make way for them.
After walking for a while, I heard a sound behind me. I looked back and found Zhou Dayong pushing a cart from behind.
Shi Shichang looked at him and asked, "Why are you walking this way?"
"I can't find the way, so let me follow you!"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong with him, "Follow us, don't get lost."
"Thank you so much, Deputy Director Shi. What would I do if it weren't for you?" Zhou Dayong deliberately emphasized that he was the deputy director. Most people would be scared when they heard it. They seemed to know his identity in advance, which made him more convinced that he was here to have a private meeting with this girl.
"Well, watch the road and don't talk." Shi Shichang didn't want to be disturbed by him. With other people around, it was not convenient for him to continue chatting with Tian Xiaolan.
"My brother will take you there later! Who are you going to look for?" Tian Xiaolan saw his concerns and took the initiative to speak.
Zhou Dayong didn't know anyone, and he had only seen the village chief who came to the meeting. "Village chief, yes, I have something to talk to him about."
Seeing him walking slowly and without anything in his hands or hanging on his car, it was hard to believe that he had something to do. It was obvious that he came here with someone.
When they reached the main road, Li Weimin wanted to take his bicycle and lead him away, "Don't touch my bicycle! Can you afford the compensation?!" He had just fallen down, how much would he have to pay for it? He couldn't let anyone fall down again, otherwise he would not be able to afford the compensation in this life or the next.
Li Weimin said indignantly, "What gold and silver? It's just a broken bicycle!" He was kind enough to help him move the bicycle, and it was his fault? And his bicycle looked like no one would pick it up if it was thrown on the street. It made a clanging sound when touched, as if it was about to fall apart.
"Brother, let's go home."
"Okay." I listened to my sister and didn't argue with him.
Tian Xiaolan went home and told Aunt Guihua what happened today. He and Li Weimin disappeared together, so she shouldn't worry again.
Who would have thought that Aunt Guihua didn't care at all that they were not at home. She just thought that Li Weimin was taking her out for a walk and didn't think too much about it.
"What? Your test paper was stolen! This damn Hu Chunsheng, he always does bad things, but I didn't expect that he would plot against me this time!" Fang Guihua was looking for something on the spot and was about to fight with Accountant Hu, but was stopped at the door by Li Weimin.
"Mom, my sister said she has a way, so you don't have to worry!" Li Weimin spoke for him and he believed her unconditionally. He felt that what she said made sense, as if she could live a few more years than him.
"Yes, auntie, I have a brother to help me and a high-ranking official is also going to help me check this!"
"We have nothing at home, why should others help us?" Fang Guihua asked what was in her heart.
Guihua has always known that in this society, it is difficult for lower-class farmers like them to get in touch with the upper echelons, not to mention helping them investigate a case without giving anything in return. She wondered how much money they would get after the investigation was completed.
"Because I exchanged sincerity for sincerity, it was actually because he was a good man. He was Shi Shichang."
Aunt Guihua was amazed: "How did you meet him?"
"You'll see him just a few steps outside." Tian Xiaolan didn't feel comfortable telling Aunt Guihua how she used a trick to make Shi Shichang come to find her even if she went to look for him. Even if she went to look for him, he probably wouldn't be able to even get through the door.
"Is it true?" Fang Guihua asked Li Weimin again, a little unconvinced.
"Really? We met here." Li Weimin didn't understand why she kept asking, so he answered honestly.
