Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 344 Going to the countryside
Yi Zhonghai said with a worried look on his face: "Old lady, Banggeng and Shazhu are still being held at the police station. If we don't get Xu Damao's letter of forgiveness, Banggeng will have to go to the juvenile detention center. This time Shazhu's case is serious. If the charges are proven, he will be sentenced to at least a few years in prison!"

"This is outrageous! Where's Xu Damao? Hurry up and ask him to write a letter of apology. This bad guy wants to harm my grandson. I must teach him a lesson today!"

As the deaf old lady spoke, she knocked hard on Xu Damao's door with her cane.

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly: "Old lady, you should save some energy. Xu Damao is not at home, and Lou Xiao'e has packed her luggage and returned to her parents' home!"

Hearing this, the deaf old lady's heart skipped a beat. She said in astonishment, "Silly Ezi went back to her parents' home? How could she go back to her parents' home?"

She went to great lengths to break up Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e, which was undoubtedly a plan for Sha Zhu. A silly rich girl, not short of money, and a silly cook, with income. As long as the two of them could be brought together, her future would be bright!

However, things went against her wishes. Lou Xiao'e's sudden departure made all her plans go awry!
……

After leaving his parents' home, Xu Damao did not rush to the factory. Instead, he rode his bicycle through the streets and alleys of Sijiu City, feeling the unique charm of Sijiu City in this era. After coming to the mortal world, Xu Damao's mentality has changed greatly. Here he does not need to be busy with cultivation, but only needs to live a simple and ordinary life.

At the same time, news about Xu Damao's ambush by Sha Zhu last night, Zang Zang and what happened at the meeting of the whole institute spread like wildfire in the factory. The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, with tens of thousands of workers, is like a small society, and most of the people who work here know each other.

The majority of people living in Nanluoguxiang are workers who work in the steel rolling mill. These days, even the smallest things can easily be known by others, not to mention that what happened in the courtyard yesterday caused a lot of uproar!
Even though the three uncles of the courtyard had issued a clear order not to let outsiders know what was going on in the courtyard, this time the police and the street office were involved, and it was not something that the three uncles could decide!
In the afternoon, Xu Damao ate a bowl of noodles with soybean paste before returning to the factory. He immediately noticed strange looks from people around him.

As soon as he returned to the Propaganda Department, Xu Damao was surrounded by a group of colleagues.

"Da Mao, is what they spread true? Did that idiot ambush you along the way?" asked a propaganda officer.

Hearing this, Xu Damao immediately came to his senses. As a victim, it would be more beneficial for Xu Damao if this matter spread, so that no one would use their connections to release Sha Zhu easily.

Xu Damao, who had already changed his mind, did not have much hatred towards Sha Zhu. On the contrary, Sha Zhu's disturbance allowed him to successfully sever his ties with the Lou family. However, as a selfish person, Xu Damao did not want to let Sha Zhu off so easily. Even if Sha Zhu did not die, he would make him suffer a lot.

Xu Damao sighed and said, "I almost lost my life. That idiot Zhu is such a jerk. He caused me and my wife to divorce! Tell me, am I wronged?"

"Shazhu is really going too far. As the saying goes, it is better to destroy ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Shazhu can even do such a thing!"

"That's right, people like this should go to jail. Damao, don't forgive him so easily!"

"..."

The colleagues around him were all speaking up for Xu Damao, which made Xu Damao feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after digesting Xu Damao's memories, Xu Damao knew that he was not badly popular. He was usually sweet-talker and often gave gifts, and he had a certain mass base.

Even though he couldn't be a leader because of the Lou family, Xu Damao's level as a projectionist was constantly improving. Considering that Xu Damao was the victim in this incident, it's no wonder that so many people spoke up for him.

With a melancholy look on his face, Xu Damao accepted the projection task under the sympathetic gazes of his colleagues, took the projection equipment and left the Propaganda Department.

No matter what, you still have to pretend. You just got divorced, so you have to feel sad and win sympathy, right?
Xu Damao carried the heavy projection equipment on his bicycle and went to the countryside. After riding for dozens of miles, Xu Damao, who had been reborn, was exhausted. Although being a projectionist these days looks glamorous, it is actually a hard job.

Fortunately, the country has been founded for sixteen years and most of the enemy spies have been cleared out. Otherwise, the projectionist would still have to worry about his own danger.

"Note: The eight types of people are ticket sellers, drivers, postmen, childcare workers, barbers, waiters, salespeople, and cooks."

After 1949, there were eight categories of people in society, and projectionists and purchasers were not among them. Although the projectionists had good food and drink in the countryside and could take some local specialties with them when they left, the hardships and dangers were also very obvious. The projection equipment alone weighed dozens of kilograms. At the end of the year, the projection task was the heaviest. The surrounding villages within a dozen miles of the city of 1949 relied on Xu Damao to project projections.

After realizing how difficult the job was, Xu Damao's mind started to become more active. The job of a projectionist was not that good, it was not as flexible as purchasing!
After walking all the way, they finally arrived at a place called Lijia Village, which was also the first stop of Xu Damao's mission.

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, some children playing had seen Xu Damao early on. They shouted happily, "The projectionist is coming! The projectionist is coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, those people ran back to the village happily like wild horses, and while running, they informed the villagers of the news that Xu Damao was coming!
"Comrade projectionist, it really is you. Come on, it's getting late, let's go eat first!" After hearing the news, the village chief immediately came over and said enthusiastically.

Xu Damao smiled slightly and refused: "Village Chief, there is no rush to eat. It's still early. I will work first while it's still light!"

As he spoke, Xu Damao operated the projection equipment skillfully. Seeing this, the village chief's face was full of smiles.

The children nearby immediately gathered around, looking here and there, their faces full of curiosity!
Soon the movie began and the area was already surrounded by villagers.

"Quiet, the movie is about to start!" The village chief gave an order, and the villagers quieted down and found a seat to sit down.

Various benches have been prepared. The villagers' faces are filled with bright smiles and they stare at the screen closely.

The plot of the movie was thrilling and the villagers' emotions were also ups and downs. When the highlights came, the villagers couldn't help but applaud and cheer. When they saw the touching scenes, the villagers quietly wiped away their tears.

Time flies, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye. After the song and the show ended, the villagers left with a lingering feeling.

The village chief and the party secretary were all smiling and came up to offer a warm welcome to express their gratitude!
After a brief greeting, the two of them took Xu Damao to the village chief's house, where the table was already filled with hot meals!
