It was originally thought that Xu Damao's accident while showing movies in the countryside was just bad luck, and he encountered robbers and was seriously injured.

He never thought that someone was deliberately trying to kill him.

Fenglian was a very smart woman. After she came out of the inner room, she patted Xu Damao's arm and smiled gently:

"Brother Damao, when Xiaobao was sleeping just now, he called for his daddy, go check on him."

He Yuzhu noticed that Xu Damao's eyes lit up the moment he saw Fenglian. When he heard her say that Xiaobao was calling for his daddy, he subconsciously nodded, got off the kang and went into the inner room.

When Hong Da Kui saw Xu Damao was about to leave, he immediately became anxious. His neck stiffened and he was about to speak when Feng Lian looked at him.

Hong Da Kui didn't know what was going on, his body trembled subconsciously, and an inexplicable sense of fear arose in his heart.

Fenglian sat in Xu Damao's seat and looked at Hong Dagui with a smile:

"Don't worry, Uncle Hong, I've accepted the job offer for Miss Xiaoyue on behalf of Damao, and I will definitely find a job for her.

Can you tell me in detail what happened just now? Is the idiot in your village still in the village now? "

Hong Da Kui looked at the smiling woman in front of him and for some reason he couldn't help feeling scared. He didn't have the same momentum as when he first faced Xu Damao.

"I haven't seen Er Laizi in the past few days. Is he no longer in the village?"

Hong Dagui's elder brother glanced at Hong Xiaoyue and suddenly spoke:

"Da Kui, have you seen Er Laizi these days?"

Hong Dagui frowned and thought for a while, with a hint of uncertainty on his face:

"It seems, I haven't seen it."

After saying that, he turned to look at his daughter and asked in a deep voice:

"Xiaoyue, have you seen Er Laizi these days?"

Hong Xiaoyue looked at her father with a bit of evasion in her eyes, and shook her head timidly:

"I, I didn't see him."

Others may not understand Hong Xiaoyue, but how could Hong Dagui not understand his own daughter? As soon as he saw her expression, he knew she was not telling the truth, and immediately emphasized:

"Xiaoyue, this matter concerns whether you can go to the city to work as a worker. You don't want a salary of ten yuan a month?

Do you want to stay in that mountain valley for the rest of your life, digging for food in the fields?"

Hong Xiaoyue was frightened by Hong Dagui's tone and said timidly:

“I, I saw him in the cave behind the mountain five days ago. He said someone was looking for him and he didn’t dare to go out.

I brought him food once, but then I felt unwell and never went again."

Seeing that his daughter told the truth, Hong Dagui raised his head and looked at Fenglian, who smiled again:

"Thank you, Xiaoyue. Uncle Hong, please take your daughter home first. When Xiaoyue feels better, please come back here to see our Damao."

"Hey, that...that...that matter of Er Laizi..."

Seeing that his host had ordered him to leave, Hong Da Kui didn't know what to say, but he was still worried that Er Laizi's incident would involve him.

"Uncle Hong, you are the lifesaver of our Damao. Even if Damao is a worthless person, you can't repay kindness with hatred, right?"

Fenglian's words were full of double meanings, which made Hong Dagui, a country man, blush, but he finally put his mind at ease:

"Hey, alright then, we'll go back first."

While Hong Da Kui was talking, he got off the kang and put on his shoes. His two brothers followed suit without saying a word and got off the kang and put on their shoes.

Seeing this, the first uncle, the third uncle and He Yuzhu hurriedly got off the kang, put on their shoes, and saw the man off.

When Fenglian saw Hong Xiaoyue turning around to leave, she grabbed her and said with a smile:

"Xiao Yue, the grown men go together, and we two go together."

As he spoke, he took out a large envelope from his trouser pocket and quietly put it into Xiaoyue's hand, saying in a low voice:

"Sister Xiaoyue, no matter what, you and your father are the saviors of our Damao. Take this money, don't think it's too little."

Hong Xiaoyue pinched it subconsciously, feeling that there were at least dozens of dollars in it. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bear to spend so much money.

He could only walk with a red face, thinking about the things they had discussed when they came here, as well as the attitudes of his father and uncles after entering the city.

The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt.

He Yuzhu and a few others escorted Hong Da Kui and his group out of the courtyard gate. When they saw that they were about to leave the alley, they turned around and walked back.

After entering the courtyard, Fenglian smiled and thanked the third uncle, the first uncle and He Yuzhu, then went back to the backyard.

Yu Shui was playing with little Ji Ji. When she saw He Yu Zhu coming in, she immediately asked curiously:

"Brother, how did you resolve the issue? Are all the people gone?"

He Yuzhu took his son from his sister and said:

"Hong Dagui's family has all gone back, but I don't think the matter will be resolved in a short time."

He Yushui didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that there was nothing to do in the room, he went back to his room to read.

The next day at noon, He Yuzhu finished his meal in the cafeteria and was about to take a nap when he saw Xu Damao push open the office door and come in:

"Zhu Zi, are you ready to take a rest?"

He Yuzhu raised his eyelids and glared at Xu Damao:

"Why did you come in when you knew I was going to take a break?"

"Hey, hey, isn't this buddy, I have something to ask you?"

Xu Damao was smiling playfully and didn't care about He Yuzhu's attitude at all.

He Yuzhu guessed what he was going to say, and said directly without hiding anything:

“I can’t solve your problem, you still have to go find Chief Pang, but I estimate that Er Laizi is most likely dead.

Even if you go to Niujiao Village, it will be a wasted trip."

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately frowned:

"Gone? Didn't Hong Xiaoyue say he was hiding in a cave?"

"Hong Xiaoyue was talking about five days ago. Who knows what the situation is now?"

He Yuzhu knew that Xu Damao wanted to catch Er Laizi and follow the clues to find out the person who wanted to kill him.

However, this matter is probably not that simple.

Judging from the way the other party did things, he didn't seem like a greenhorn. He first disguised himself as a robber and then tried to kill Xu Damao.

In order to avoid being seen by the surrounding villagers when dealing with the corpse, they would directly look for lazy people in the village like Erlaizi.

After all, if a stranger met someone from the surrounding villages, it would easily attract attention, but Erlaizi was a villager.

He was lazy and slack off every day, not doing his job properly. He could not earn many work points in the whole year and even had trouble eating.

He wandered around the mountain looking for something to eat. The villagers around him were not surprised. It was not easy to deal with a corpse.

As long as you bring the body up the mountain and dump it in a cave, within half a month even the bones will be eaten by the beasts in the forest.

By then, no one will be found alive or dead, and it can only be considered as a missing person.

The police station can at most send someone to investigate and then close the case. After all, it is not a homicide if there is no body.

However, Xu Damao obviously did not give up and was determined to make a trip.

"So you say, let's just let this matter go?"

Xu Damao was very unwilling and wanted to do as he wished. He came early this morning to report to the Security Department and took people directly to Niujiao Village to arrest Erlaizi.

However, as soon as Hong Da Kui and others left, Feng Lian went back to discuss the matter with him. Xu Damao listened to his wife sitting on the kang all night, explaining the reasons and facts to him.

In the end, Xu Damao agreed to come and talk to He Yuzhu about this matter first and hear what he had to say.

Who would have known that He Yuzhu's words were exactly the same as what his wife and himself said. This made Xu Damao wonder if the two had discussed it in advance?

However, his wife never left his sight. When she sent Hong Da Kui and the other three out of the courtyard, the first and third uncles were with them, and they definitely could not discuss such things.

Finally, Xu Damao couldn't help but start to doubt, could it be that the hit on his head really caused something wrong?

"You definitely can't let it go. You must report this to the Security Department and then go to Niujiao Village.

I'm just giving you a heads-up so you don't get too high hopes."

He Yuzhu said this and looked up at Xu Damao again, his brows becoming more serious:

"I think you should think carefully about who you have offended recently and why they want to torture you to death."

When Xu Damao heard this, his expression turned a little grim.

Last night, his wife also asked him this question. He thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out who he had offended.

"Hey, I thought about this all night and still can't figure it out.

Deer, I won't talk to you here, just close your eyes for a while."

As Xu Damao spoke, he stood up, waved his hand, and went out.

Less than twenty minutes later, He Yuzhu left the office, went to the parking shed to push his bicycle over, took his tools, and went to deliver soup to the patrol team.

In the afternoon, I went to the street office to pick up my wife and brought her home. My mother-in-law had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them to eat.

After dinner, He Yuzhu took his son Xiao Jiji for a stroll in the alley. As soon as he reached the front yard, he saw the third uncle coming in from outside with a book in his hand.

"Hey, Third Uncle, you're back late today, aren't you?"

He Yuzhu asked with a smile.

"Yeah, isn't it? Even though the school is on vacation, there's still a lot to do."

The third uncle said with a smile, looked into the yard, and seeing that there was no one else, he immediately moved closer and asked in a low voice:

"Zhu Zi, what you said yesterday about Xu Damao, is it true?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he was immediately happy:

"Hey, Third Uncle, don't worry. This is just a temporary condition. I've prescribed him some medicine. He'll be able to use it again after taking it for ten days or half a month."

"Hey, hey, hey, that's good, that's good."

Although the third uncle nodded and spoke, the expression on his face was a little strange, as if he was regretful, but also seemed to be relieved.

Anyway, He Yuzhu couldn't understand this emotion.

After exiting the courtyard gate and entering the alley, I saw an old man coming back. As soon as he saw He Yuzhu, he stopped and greeted him:

"Zhu Zi, are you taking little Ji Ji out for a walk?"

"Hey, uncle, did you just get off work?"

He Yuzhu responded with a smile.

The first uncle looked around and saw that there were only a few children playing in the alley. He followed the third uncle's example and came over to ask in a low voice:

"Zhu Zi, what you said yesterday about Xu Damao, is it true or false?"

He Yuzhu couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed out loud:

"Don't worry, uncle. Those are only temporary. I have prescribed medicine for him. He will be fine after taking it for ten days or half a month."

The expression of the first uncle was exactly the same as that of the third uncle. If He Yuzhu had not run into these two men one after the other, he would have thought that they had discussed it before.

After strolling in the alley with little Jiji in his arms, He Yuzhu returned home. Seeing his wife waiting in the living room, he handed his son to her so that she could feed him.

After finishing their work, the couple pushed their bicycles out of the house, sent their wife to night school, and then rode their bicycles around the street.

It's almost July now, the security on the streets has improved a lot, and there are many people hanging out at night.

Six patrol teams patrolled in a cross-patrol manner, and the people were able to find someone as soon as any situation occurred. He Yuzhu was very satisfied.

He is not good at leading a team, training, or patrolling the streets. The only thing he can do is to provide logistical support for these people.

Strive for more benefits and more wages for them, and let them get as much as possible.

After strolling for a while, there was nothing going on on the street, and He Yuzhu was about to ride his bike towards the night school.

When I looked up, I saw two familiar figures walking side by side on the opposite side of the road. They were talking as they walked and didn't notice He Yuzhui across the street at all.
