Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1201 Xu Damao gets beaten

Just kidding, Xu Damao likes to help people the most, especially these pretty girls.

After entering the woods, Xu Damao looked around curiously and asked the female comrade where the thing fell.

The female comrade raised her hand and pointed ahead, and said crisply: "It's not far ahead, comrade, just follow me for a few more steps and you will be there." After hearing this, Xu Damao followed the female comrade and continued to walk deeper into the woods.

After walking for a while, Xu Damao began to feel suspicious and felt something was increasingly wrong.

They had walked for quite a long time, but there were more and more trees around them, making the place seem increasingly secluded and quiet. There was almost no sign of other people along the way, and only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the woods.

Xu Damao stopped, frowned slightly, and showed a trace of confusion on his face. He looked at the female comrade and asked, "Girl, where did you drop this thing? We have walked so far, why haven't we arrived yet?"

When the female comrade heard this, she glanced at Xu Damao in a reproachful manner, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Hey, comrade, why are you so timid? It's just a little bit forward. I, a female comrade, am not afraid. Are you afraid?"

Xu Damao was teased by this female comrade, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

He straightened his chest, pretending to be brave, laughed and said, "Who... who said I was timid? I was just afraid that you remembered the wrong place. All right, let's keep going. How can I be afraid of this little forest?" Then he gritted his teeth and continued to follow the female comrade forward.

After walking for a full two miles, the trees around us became increasingly dense, blocking out the sun. Only occasionally a few rays of afterglow from the setting sun shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming mottled light and shadows on the ground.

At this moment, the female comrade suddenly stopped, with a hint of shyness on her face, and said softly: "Comrade, I suddenly have to go to the bathroom, please wait here for a while."

When Xu Damao heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately became scared.

He was the only one left in the wilderness. The surroundings were so quiet that it made people creepy. From time to time, there were a few unknown birds calling, which added a bit of eerie feeling. He subconsciously looked around, swallowed his saliva, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Sister, this... this place is quite remote. Why don't you bear with it and go out to find a place with people to solve it."

When the female comrade heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed. Her laughter sounded particularly clear in the quiet woods. She looked at Xu Damao mockingly and said, "Oh, look at you, a grown man, but why are you so timid? I'll just go to the side and come back soon. What are you afraid of?"

Xu Damao's face flushed red after being mocked by her. He was angry and scared, but he couldn't get angry. He could only bite the bullet and said, "Who... who is scared? Then... then you should go quickly and come back soon. I'll wait for you here." After saying that, he rubbed his hands nervously.

The female comrade smiled sinisterly, with a hint of smugness in her smile, then turned around and walked away briskly. She trotted all the way and soon came to a secluded place not far away. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi had been waiting there anxiously, unable to hold back.

As soon as he saw the female comrade coming over, Liu Guangtian hurried forward and asked anxiously: "What's the situation? Did Xu Damao take the bait?"

The female comrade patted her chest and said with a somewhat boastful look on her face: "Don't worry, I've done everything you said. I've tricked Xu Damao over there. Now, he's alone there, frightened."

After that, the female comrade stretched out her hand to Liu Guangqi and said, "I have done all the work for you. It's time to pay me. It's one dollar as agreed."

Liu Guangqi frowned slightly when he heard this, and he looked embarrassed. He took out fifty cents from his pocket, handed it to the female comrade, and said, "Sister, look, we workers work hard all day in the factory, and we are so tired that our backs ache, but we only earn one dollar. Fifty cents is not a small amount, just take it."

The female comrade took the fifty cents and became angry when she saw that it was only this little. She widened her eyes and raised her voice, saying, "How can you not keep your word? We agreed on one dollar at the beginning. I went through so much trouble to help you trick Xu Damao here, and I made up excuses and went around in the woods. It was not easy. And you only give me fifty cents. This is not acceptable!"

Liu Guangqi smiled and tried to explain: "Girl, calm down. This isn't a big deal for us. Just consider it a favor. Fifty cents is enough for you to buy something. Don't mind it."

The female comrade didn't buy it at all. She angrily threw the fifty cents on the ground, crossed her arms and said, "Humph, I don't care what you say. I won't agree unless you give me one dollar. I'm going to compete with you on this matter today."

Liu Guangtian watched from the side, his impatience becoming more and more obvious. He frowned and said to Liu Guangqi anxiously, "Brother, don't dawdle and give the money to this female comrade quickly. If you delay here for such a small amount of money and delay our important event tonight, it will be a big loss."

After Liu Guangqi heard what Liu Guangtian said, although he was extremely reluctant, that one dollar was not a small amount in his eyes. After all, he had worked very hard in the factory for many days to save that much money.

But now, looking at the female comrade's relentless attitude, he thought that he really couldn't let this matter ruin the whole plan. He gritted his teeth, suppressed the pain in his heart, and reluctantly took out another fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to the female comrade, muttering, "Oh, sister, are you satisfied now? This is all our hard-earned money. You better keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone about it."

The female comrade took the fifty cents and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She carefully put the money into her pocket, patted it, and said, "Don't worry, I am a trustworthy person. Since I have received your money, I will definitely not say anything nonsense. Then I will leave first. I wish you good luck in your work."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly, soon disappearing into the night.

Liu Guangqi looked at the back of the female comrade leaving, smacking his lips in pain, muttering: "This money is really wasted, it's enough for me to buy several packs of cigarettes."

Liu Guangtian urged, "Brother, don't worry about the money. We have already done the job. Let's act according to the plan. We can't let Xu Damao get suspicious and run away."

Liu Guangqi came back to his senses, nodded, and walked cautiously towards the direction of Xu Damao with Liu Guangtian.

The two men crouched down and tiptoed to where Xu Damao was before stopping.

They quickly took out the hoods they had prepared and put them on tightly, revealing only a pair of ferocious eyes. Then, they looked at each other and rushed over like wolves.

Xu Damao was originally pacing in place with anxiety, his ears always paying attention to the movements around him.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps. He looked up alertly and saw two guys wearing hoods and holding wooden sticks running towards him aggressively. Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong. His instinct for survival made him turn around and try to escape.

Liu Guangqi was the fastest. He rushed forward and successfully blocked Xu Damao's way.

Without saying a word, he raised the wooden stick in his hand high and swung it hard towards Xu Damao's shoulder.

Xu Damao was unable to dodge and was hit by the stick. He groaned, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

This completely infuriated Xu Damao. His eyes turned red and he roared like a mad bull. He swung his fist and hit Liu Guangqi in the face.

Liu Guangqi didn't expect Xu Damao to suddenly counterattack. He was a little panicked for a moment. He wanted to dodge but was a little slow. Xu Damao's fist brushed across his cheek, and he felt a burning pain on his face.

Liu Guangqi suffered a loss and became even more angry. He steadied himself and swung the stick again towards Xu Damao. Xu Damao dodged to the side, grabbed the stick, and pulled it hard, causing Liu Guangqi to stumble forward.

At this time, Liu Guangtian also arrived, and he seized the opportunity to kick Xu Damao from behind. Xu Damao was hit hard on the back and fell forward to the ground, but he quickly struggled to get up and turned around to wrestle with Liu Guangtian.

Relying on his youth and strength, Liu Guangtian and Xu Damao rolled on the ground, attacking each other with punches and kicks.

Although Xu Damao was at a disadvantage, he was not willing to give in. He strangled Liu Guangtian's neck with his arms, trying to suffocate him.

Liu Guangtian felt difficulty breathing, and he desperately hit Xu Damao's abdomen with his elbow. Xu Damao felt pain and loosened his grip a little.

Seeing this, Liu Guangqi raised the wooden stick again and smashed it hard at Xu Damao's leg.

Xu Damao suffered a serious injury to his leg and fell to the ground again with a thump.

Liu Guangtian took the opportunity to break free, and together with Liu Guangqi, he started punching and kicking Xu Damao.

Xu Damao curled up on the ground, holding his head tightly with both hands. His body was trembling slightly due to the pain. He endured the severe pain and asked with heavy breaths, "Who are you? How did I offend you?"

Liu Guangqi sneered and said in a pinched voice: "Humph, Xu Damao, you know in your heart that you like to provoke those girls on weekdays. This time you have caused big trouble. We are entrusted by others to give them an explanation. It can be regarded as paying money to get rid of the disaster."

When Xu Damao heard this, he was full of doubts. He tried hard to think about who he had offended recently, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

He wanted to continue asking questions, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Guangqi became impatient before he could finish his words.

He raised the stick in his hand high and smashed it hard on Xu Damao's back, saying viciously: "Don't ask any more questions. It's not good for you to know too much."

Liu Guangqi hit the target with one stick after another, as if he was crazy, using all his strength in each hit.

Xu Damao's body twitched continuously as the stick fell, and he groaned in pain.

Gradually, his voice became weaker and weaker, his breath became more and more dying, and he could only lie on the ground helplessly.

Someone is going to be beaten to death!

Seeing this, Liu Guangtian was afraid that someone might die, which would cause a big mess, so he hurried forward to hold Liu Guangqi and said, "Brother, stop hitting me. If you continue, something bad will happen."

Liu Guangqi seemed to be blood-thirsty, and kicked Xu Damao hard a few more times before stopping, muttering, "You got it easy."

Afterwards, the two fled the scene in a panic, and their figures quickly disappeared into the darkness of the woods.

It was dark, and the night slowly fell like a huge black curtain, covering the entire city.

Qin Jingru returned home and opened the door. The house was dark without a trace of light. She fumbled to turn on the light and looked around. She found that Xu Damao had not come back yet, and she couldn't help feeling very strange.

In the past, Xu Damao liked to hang out and play outside, but since she gave birth to a child, Xu Damao seemed like a different person. He would go home on time to cook every day and was very attentive to the family.

Although Qin Jingru did not have much love for Xu Damao in her heart, she could see that Xu Damao was really good to the child.

In addition, she now needs Xu Damao to be her nominal father.

She felt a little worried and paced back and forth in the room. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

After much hesitation, she decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and use the phone there to contact the new workshop of the steel rolling mill to see if Xu Damao was still working overtime in the factory or if something else had happened.

Qin Jingru hurriedly put on a coat, closed the door, and walked quickly towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

Qin Jingru trotted all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative. The lights in the cooperative seemed a little dim, and there were only a few customers picking things out.

She walked straight to the corner where the public telephone was placed, explained to the staff in charge the purpose of her call, took out two cents to pay the bill, and then impatiently picked up the receiver and dialed the number of the new workshop of the steel rolling mill.

After the phone beeped several times, it was finally connected. Qin Jingru hurriedly said, "Hello, hello, I am Xu Damao's family member. I want to ask if Xu Damao is still working overtime in the workshop?"

The voice of the new workshop director came from the other end of the phone. It sounded a little noisy, as if someone was busy in the workshop: "Oh, it's the family member. Xu Damao went home from get off work a long time ago. Our workshop's output exceeded expectations today, and Xu Damao was praised by the factory director. Maybe he's happy now and went out for a drink to celebrate."

When Qin Jingru heard this, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She quickly said, "So that's how it is. Thank you very much. Sorry to bother you."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Jingru let out a long sigh, and her originally tense expression relaxed.

As she walked home, she thought to herself that Xu Damao must have gone out to drink. She would have to have a good talk with him when he came back. He didn't even tell his family so late.

After returning home, Qin Jingru simply tidied up the house and time passed by unknowingly.

By midnight, Xu Damao was still nowhere to be seen. Qin Jingru realized that the situation might be far more serious than she had imagined.

Something happened. Something big!

She could no longer sit still, so she quickly got up from the bed, without even bothering to put on her coat, and hurried out of the house, heading straight for the third uncle's house.
