As Section Chief Sun was speaking, he welcomed He Yuzhu into his office and poured him some tea.

"You're too polite, Chief Sun."

He Yuzhu also smiled, took the tea poured by Section Chief Sun with both hands, and then sat down with Section Chief Sun.

"Director He, we are all family, please don't be polite to me. Is there anything you want to do today?"

Section Chief Sun got straight to the point right away, mainly because he knew He Yuzhu was a straightforward person.

"Haha, Brother Sun, then I won't be polite to you."

He Yuzhu took a sip of tea and put it on the table, and his address suddenly changed from Section Chief Sun to Brother Sun:

"It's like this, isn't Xu Damao from your department from our hospital? I met his wife this morning.

It was said that Xu Damao had not been seen for half a month, and his wife was afraid something had happened to him, so she asked me to go check on him.

When Section Chief Sun heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, that's what happened. However, Xu Damao went to Shigouzi Commune to show movies this time and should have returned ten days ago.

But you also know that this kid has always been wild, so we don't really care about him, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble."

"Okay, that's fine. I understand. Thank you, Chief Sun. I'll go and give the message to the person right away. You go ahead and do your work."

He Yuzhu didn't keep the message after receiving it and immediately stood up and said goodbye.

Of course, it wasn't that he was unwilling to exchange a few more words with Section Chief Sun. The main reason was that he felt in his heart that Xu Damao might really have been in trouble.

Section Chief Sun said that Xu Damao should have returned ten days ago, but he is still nowhere to be seen.

If it were in the past, He Yuzhu would not think there was any problem.

But now, Fenglian gave birth to a "green boy" to Xu Damao, and Xu Damao loved this son from the bottom of his heart.

If you have nothing to do, just go home, hold the baby in your arms and stroll on the street to show off.

Even if he went to the countryside to show a movie, if he had some ulterior motives, he would be back after a day at most. It was impossible not to see him for more than ten days.

When Section Chief Sun heard that He Yuzhu was about to leave, he stood up and saw him off to the door without asking anyone to stay. He smiled.

However, when the two of them walked to the door of the office, he suddenly reacted and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant:

"Director He, is there something wrong with Xu Damao?"

Logically speaking, He Yuzhu came to ask me a question. If he wasn't in a hurry, he would at least have to chat about it, right?

If the canteen or the workers-peasants alliance was really busy, he should have explained it to me.

"Brother Sun, since Xu Damao had a son, he rarely stays out for such a long time.

As for whether something happened, I have to ask again."

He Yuzhu immediately expressed his guess, and Section Chief Sun also became anxious:

"Hey, then you go ahead and ask around. I'll quickly call the Shigouzi Village Commune to see if Xu Damao is still in their village."

"Hey, thank you very much. Whether you are here or not, please ask someone to get back to me."

When He Yuzhu saw Chief Sun's help, he quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Director He, you are too polite. Xu Damao is also from the Propaganda Department. If something really happened, we would be worried too."

As Section Chief Sun was speaking, he left the office and hurried to make a phone call.

He Yuzhu came out of the Propaganda Department and rode his bicycle directly to the street to find the patrol team.

Of course, we couldn't expect the patrol to find anyone after not seeing them for more than ten days, so we just asked them to keep an eye out for any news.

But Xu Damao is actually at his fellow villager's house now.

However, it was not in the Shigouzi Village Commune where he showed the movie, but in Niujiao Village, more than 60 miles away from Shigouzi Village.

When Xu Damao opened his eyes, it was pitch black all around him and he didn't even know where he was.

With a "squeak" sound, the door opened.

A beam of light came in as the door opened, and Xu Damao subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

"Hey, are you awake?"

A crisp voice came into Xu Damao's ears, with a strong sense of surprise in the voice.

When people came closer, Xu Damao saw that this was a pretty girl, standing on the ground with a bowl of water in her hand.

"Would you like some water?"

The girl seemed a little shy. She first put the kerosene lamp and hot water in her hand on the kang table, and then looked shyly at Xu Damao.

"hiss……"

Xu Damao subconsciously wanted to sit up, but he felt a severe pain in the back of his head, as if he had been hit by something.

Yes, he was ambushed.

He had just finished showing a movie in Shigouzi Village. Seeing that it was still early, he packed up his things and rode his bicycle back home.

He didn't pay much attention to the person he met on the road. After all, he was a film projectionist at the steel mill and often traveled to the countryside.

He may not know many people in the countryside, but most people in the countryside know him.

Therefore, he was not afraid of highway robbery.

The man kept walking with his head down. The bicycle flashed past him, and then he heard a "bang" and knew nothing after that.

When the girl saw him move, she immediately became nervous and quickly climbed onto the kang and put her hands on his shoulders:

"Hey, don't move. You have a head injury and have been unconscious for several days. We thought you would not survive."

As the girl placed her hands on Xu Damao's shoulders, Xu Damao suddenly felt a unique female fragrance rushing into his nose.

He sniffed subconsciously, thinking that this girl must be a virgin.

"Hey, I won't move. I won't move."

Xu Damao followed what the girl said, and as soon as he opened his mouth he found that his throat hurt as if a red-hot coal ball was stuffed in it.

"My name is Xiaoyue. Let me help you up. You've been unconscious for such a long time. Drink some water first."

As Xiaoyue spoke, she knelt beside Xu Damao and helped him sit up with great effort.

Xu Damao, this bastard, is so lustful that even in this situation, he is still staring at the girl.

Taking the hot water handed to him by Xiaoyue, Xu Damao drank a few sips and felt the hot water flowing down his throat into his stomach. He finally felt a little warmer.

Only then did he have time to look around, frowning and asking:

"Miss Xiaoyue, my name is Xu Damao, and I am a projectionist at the Sijiucheng Steel Rolling Mill. On my way home from showing a movie at Shigouzi Commune, I was robbed by a gangster.

If I hadn't met a kind girl like you, I would probably be dead now.

When I return to Sijiu City, I will definitely thank you very much."

Xu Damao saw with the help of the kerosene lamp that Xiaoyue was a very beautiful girl with a round face, almond eyes and thin lips.

The only flaw is that the skin is a bit dark and yellow.

However, under the current conditions, every household cannot get enough to eat, especially in the village, where it is considered good enough if they do not starve to death.

"Haha, you city people are really good at talking, my father picked you up on the road.

My father hasn't come back from work yet, and there's nothing to eat at home, just water. I'll make you something to eat tomorrow."

It has to be said that looking at a beauty under the light is more interesting. When Xu Damao saw Xiaoyue smile, he immediately widened his eyes and stared at the girl.

Xiaoyue must have felt embarrassed by being stared at, so she quickly lowered her head and subconsciously took a step back.

"By the way, what place are you guys at? When your dad ran into me, did he see my bicycle and movie equipment?"

Although Xu Damao liked to look at beautiful women, he also knew what was important. After drinking a bowl of water, he felt a little more energetic and immediately asked about business.

When Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately shook her head and said:

"No, my father said that all your clothes were taken off at that time, and you are wearing my mother's clothes now.

However, my mother has passed away for several years, and the clothes have always been worn by me, so please don’t be disgusted.”

When Xu Damao heard that it was Xiaoyue's mother who wore it, he felt a little uncomfortable. Then he heard that her mother was dead, and his face changed immediately.

However, when I heard that Xiaoyue was wearing the clothes now, some fantasies suddenly came to my mind.

"Hey, no, no, you saved my life, I can't thank you enough, how could I possibly despise you?"

As Xu Damao spoke, he looked around the room.

Hey, it’s not just poor!

Not to mention a decent piece of furniture, there wasn't even a decent piece.

"What's the name of your village?"

Xu Damao asked again.

"Our village is called Niujiao Village, and it is also part of Shigouzi Commune. However, we are sixty miles away from Shigouzi Village Commune."

While Xiaoyue was talking, she helped Xu Damao lie down on the kang.

"When my uncle comes back, could you please ask him to go to Shigouzi Village Commune tomorrow and ask them to call the steel mill and tell them about my situation?"

Xu Damao knew that he was injured and it would be best for him to go back to the steel mill hospital for treatment, otherwise he would suffer from serious sequelae.

After all, it was a brain injury and he was in a coma for several days.

"Well, that's fine, but I'm afraid I can't go tomorrow. The mission in the village is urgent, and he needs to find someone to book a date first."

Xiaoyue covered Xu Damao with a quilt, got off the kang, and walked out of the room.

"Brother Xu, I'm outside. If you need anything, just call me."

"Xiaoyue, you and your father are my saviors, don't worry about it. Although the weather is not cold now, there are still many flies in the village.

Don't worry, I'm so badly injured that I can't do anything even if I want to."

Is Xu Damao such a kind-hearted guy?

Of course not, he just simply wanted to be alone in a room with the beauty.

I don’t know if Xiaoyue was naive or stupid, but she actually didn’t go out.

Rolling mill

He Yuzhu came back from the street and was preparing meals for the canteen when Section Chief Sun came over in person and told him the result of the phone call.

The man had already turned back nine days ago, and the Shigouzi Commune thought he had gone back.

The Shigouzi Village Commune knew that Xu Damao had not returned, and had already organized villagers to look for him in the surrounding area.

When He Yuzhu heard this, he felt a little disappointed.

These days are different from later times. There are cameras everywhere. If Xu Damao really encounters something on his way back.

It has been eight or nine days since then, and the bodies have probably been thrown into the ravine to feed the wild dogs and wolves.

Section Chief Sun was also anxious now. After saying something to He Yuzhu, he hurried to the Security Department to discuss the matter with Section Chief Pang.

See if it is possible to have the Security Department send a team to go to the countryside to look for that person.

After get off work in the afternoon, He Yuzhu picked up his wife on his bicycle and returned to the courtyard together.

While going to the backyard to pick up the deaf old lady, he told Fenglian what he had found out.

When Fenglian heard what He Yuzhu said, her face turned pale and tears fell down.

She was not some naive young woman, and she knew that Xu Damao had not been seen for more than ten days, and that it was most likely that something had happened to him.

His body weakened immediately and he collapsed in the yard.

The second aunt and the deaf old lady comforted her for a long time, and Fenglian finally perked up and went into the house to see the child.

He Yuzhu helped the deaf old lady to go to the central courtyard for dinner. Lou Xiaoe just asked a question casually and stopped talking.

Everyone knows that Xu Damao is most likely in trouble this time.

After dinner, He Yuzhu waited for his wife to finish breastfeeding and then sent her to night school. He then wandered around the street, thinking about Xu Damao.

Logically speaking, Xu Damao, who often goes to the countryside to show movies, shouldn't have any problems.
