Chapter 285 Carpet Search
As the broadcast sounded, villagers working in the fields and people at home went to the village committee one after another.
Soon all the villagers arrived. Those who were at home brought their own small wooden stools and sat down. Those who had just returned from the fields stood at the back with their tools in hand. Everyone lined up in neat rows.
The village chief looked at Huang Hui excitedly and said, "All the comrades are here. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions."
Huang Hui nodded, then looked at the villagers under the wooden platform with a serious face.
"Hello everyone, I am Huang Hui, the director of Luorong County. Today we are entrusted by someone to come and search for a six-year-old girl. This little girl is less than 1.2 meters tall and has a pair of blood-red eyes. If you have seen or heard of her, please raise your hand and answer."
When the villagers heard Huang Hui say that he was the county director, they were shocked.
They never thought that the county director would have time to come to their remote little village. It was really an honor for their village, so the people present listened to him very quietly.
But when they heard him say that he wanted to find a little girl with bloodshot eyes, the villagers began to whisper to each other.
"What? What kind of eyes did Chief Huang just ask for?"
"Didn't I just say that? A six-year-old girl with blood-red eyes."
"Oh my god! I thought I heard it wrong! If a child has red eyes, it would scare people to death at night."
"That's right! Eyes like that can only belong to a monster."
"I've seen on TV that people in foreign countries have blue eyes, but I've never seen anyone with red eyes!"
"Yes, yes. Could it be that she is a little girl from abroad? We have never seen eyes like that in our empire."
Huang Hui listened to the noisy villagers and continued impatiently: "If any of you can provide information about her, or find someone to send her to me, we will reward you with a reward of one thousand to ten thousand."
When they heard that there would be rewards for providing information and finding the answer, the people present became even more excited and there was more talk.
"Oh my god! A reward of one thousand to ten thousand. I'm going to find someone later."
"Is this true? There's a reward for providing information! Is it that easy?"
"That can be done. It's not difficult to find a doll. I'll go find one right away."
"Why are you so unreliable? That's not good."
"I don't think so either. Our comrades can't find him, so how can we possibly find him? If it were that easy, we would make a fortune."
Seeing that they were somewhat skeptical, Huang Hui continued to say, "If you find the person, let alone 10,000, a reward of 50,000 will be handed over to you immediately, and you will definitely get some benefits. Besides, the little girl disappeared near your village, and you will definitely find her."
Now everyone got excited and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go find someone now."
So everyone started searching in a mighty way.
Huang Hui looked at the men, women, young and old in the village setting out to look for someone, and a smile appeared on his face. It turned out to be a problem that could not be solved without money.
Someone nearby whispered, "What about us?"
"What are you still doing here? Go and find someone else for me." Huang Hui said unhappily.
"yes……."
Soon the villagers began a large-scale search, and the female nurse who had just picked up the props looked at the villagers looking around and searching. She was curious and asked an aunt passing by.
"Sister, what are you doing?!"
When the elder sister saw someone asking her, she said excitedly: "Our county director is here to look for someone. He said he is looking for a six-year-old girl with red eyes. Whoever finds her will be rewarded with 50,000 yuan! Okay, little girl, I won’t chat with you anymore. I still have to go find someone! If it’s too late, there will be no money left." After that, she turned around and left anxiously.
The female nurse murmured to herself: "Red eyes? Could it be her?"
Thinking of Xiao Liyue who came back last night, she told her colleagues that she had a stomachache and left in a hurry.
When she arrived at the village committee, she saw Huang Hui sitting in the pavilion, enjoying the tea served by Village Chief Liu.
But the village chief noticed the female nurse and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
The female nurse swallowed nervously, but when she thought of the tempting reward of 50,000 yuan, she blurted out: "I have seen the little girl you are looking for. I bathed her yesterday."
With a "bang", Huang Hui was so surprised that the teacup fell on the stone table, not caring about the broken cup.
He immediately walked up to her and said, "Are you telling the truth? Don't lie to me, or you will go to jail. You have to think it over carefully."
"I am telling the truth. Yesterday, Director He asked me to give the little girl a bath, and then I noticed that her eyes were red. Our Director Liu He has also seen it. I am not lying to you, I really have seen her." When the female nurse heard that she was going to go to jail, she was so scared that she confessed everything.
But she didn't know that she also lost her job because of her greed today, and she regretted it deeply.
Huang Hui learned that Liu Ming had also seen the little girl with red eyes, his face changed slightly and he said, "Okay, I know, there's nothing for you to do now."
The female nurse saw that he was about to leave, and subconsciously asked: "Um, do I still have my 50,000 yuan reward?"
Huang Hui looked back at her, but as the village chief was still there, he could only take out 30,000 yuan from the car and give it to her.
She looked at the money in her hand and continued, "Isn't that 50,000? Why is it only 30,000?"
"Haha. Finding talent means 50,000 yuan. You should be content with 30,000 yuan just for providing information. People should not be too greedy and should be willing to help." Huang Hui said gritting his teeth.
"Okay then! I understand." After saying that, the female nurse took the money and left.
When the village chief saw that the female caregiver really got the money, he looked envious. It seemed that Huang Hui was not lying.
As long as he provided information, he would get a reward, so he wanted to go find someone, but he was the village chief and could not leave Huang Hui here alone.
"Village Chief, take me to Director He's residence!"
"Okay, Director Yu, please follow me."
Led by the village chief, the two soon arrived at where Director He lived.
Director He, who had just packed his luggage, saw Huang Hui and the village chief coming and greeted them enthusiastically, "Hey, isn't this Director Huang and the village chief? Are you here to see me?"
Huang Hui smiled politely and said, "Director He is indeed smart. I just happen to have something to ask Director He. You can go and do your work first, village chief!"
The village chief nodded and said, "Okay, then you can have a good chat with Director Liu He, and I will go find someone for you."
He waved his hand and said, "Well! Go ahead!"
Director He looked at the village chief's departing back, cut him a cup of coffee and said, "Would you like some coffee?"
"It's all right. Thank you, Director He."
"Haha. You're welcome. If you have something important to ask me, just ask!"
Huang Hui picked up the coffee and took a sip, then said with a smile, "Director He is indeed generous. It's nothing serious. I just heard that Director He brought back a little girl with red eyes yesterday. I wonder if this is true."
When Director He heard this, he paused as he was about to drink his coffee, smiled and put down the coffee.
"Oh! Really? Where did Director Huang hear about this?"
Seeing this, Huang Hui knew that he must have seen it before, so it seemed that his trip was not in vain.
