The woman's cry, accompanied by the cry of a night owl from the forest not far away, seemed a bit scary in this night.
Zhao Youcai stopped, but this time there was no Li Dayong standing in front of him. Zhao Jun moved behind Zhao Youcai, put the flashlight out of Zhao Youcai's shoulder, and shined forward.
But I saw the corn leaves swaying and rustling in the breeze, making the surrounding atmosphere even more eerie and scary.
"You little brat!" Zhao Youcai cursed in his heart, taking small steps and walking forward slowly.
At this time, I faintly heard someone saying, "Where is your brother?"
"What's ahead?"
"It seems to be Zhang Wangba!" Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Youcai's heart dropped into his stomach. He raised his hand and grabbed the flashlight Zhao Jun was holding from his shoulder, and strode away to follow the sound.
Twenty meters in front of his father and son, Zhang Zhanshan, Xu Meihua, and Zhang Laifa's family were walking through the corn field.
The previous gunshots and Zhang Laibao's screams frightened Zhang Laifa half to death.
After all, stealing is always a scary job, let alone stealing from the enemy's house. Zhang Laifa is still young. When he first broke the corn, he had to call Zhang Laibao after breaking the stick to make sure he was not far away from him before he dared to continue breaking it.
The second stick.
But hearing a gunshot and Zhang Laibao's scream, Zhang Laifa was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst. He thought Zhang Laibao had been beaten to death. He was afraid that someone would shoot him again, so he turned around and ran away without saying a word.
He ran all the way back to the village, home, and all the way to the door of the house. He felt relieved and lay down in front of the door and cried.
Zhang Zhanshan and Xu Meihua came out to see and asked what happened. When they heard Zhang Laifa say that Zhang Laibao had been shot dead with a gun, Xu Meihua rolled her eyes and fainted.
Zhang Zhanshan hurriedly pinched people, slapped his cheeks, and woke up Xu Meihua, and then the family of three cried and walked towards Nandi.
"Let's go! Go back!" At this time, Zhao Youcai turned the flashlight and turned around to tell Zhao Jun to leave.
The light of the flashlight swept toward his face. Zhao Jun subconsciously blocked it with his hand. He knew that the two bangs were intentional, but he still asked Zhao Youcai with some confusion: "Dad, why don't we go meet them?" p>
"What a fool!" Zhao Youcai said with a bad smile as he walked back: "Let them search in the ground, haha..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Youcai laughed and said: "If you don't see people alive, and you don't see corpses of dead people, they can't stay overnight!"
When Zhao Jun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He gave Zhao Youcai a thumbs up and said, "Dad, you are so bad!"
"Go away!" Zhao Youcai scolded Zhao Jun angrily and said, "You little brat, you don't know how to speak personally!"
Zhao Jun just smiled and followed Zhao Youcai quickly home. At this time, the crying behind him was getting farther and farther.
When the father and son were approaching home, they happened to meet Zhao Guofeng and Wang Dalong. They saw Zhao Guofeng yawning with his mouth wide open as he walked.
Seeing Zhao Youcai coming from the south, Zhao Guofeng went up to meet him and asked, "What's wrong with Youcai? Why are you asking me to come here in the middle of the night?"
Just now Wang Dalong came to his house and called the door, but when he saw Zhao Guofeng, he didn't say what was going on. He just said that Zhao Youcai had an urgent matter and wanted to see him.
After listening to Zhao Guofeng's question, Zhao Youcai waved his hand to him and said, "Follow me, and you will know." After that, he took a flashlight and led the way.
The four of them came to Zhao Youcai's house together and saw that a torch had been lit in the Zhao family's yard, and many small moths and insects were flying around the flames.
Seeing outsiders coming, the five dogs of the Zhao family barked together, and then the dogs of the Li family next door also started barking.
Zhao Youcai made a driving gesture with both hands and drove the dogs back to the den. Big Fatty, San Fatty, Little Bear, and Bailong all returned to the den. Only the dogs' mouths were exposed outside the den, and their lips were grinning, maintaining an offensive posture at all times.
.
Hearing the barking of dogs in the yard, Li Dayong also came out of the house and suppressed Dahuang and the others.
But the barking of the dog has not subsided, because as soon as Zhao Youcai turned around, the black tiger jumped out of the den, and then jumped, barked and bit like a darling.
Finally it has a chance to show off!
Zhao Youcai glanced helplessly in front of the house. He had never beaten a dog, but now he wanted to take a big shovel and beat the black tiger to death!
"What are you doing!" At this time, by the light of the fire, Zhao Guofeng saw Zhang Laibao who was tied up like a pig. He took two steps forward and took a closer look. He saw that Zhang Laibao's mouth was blocked with a rag, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Full of tears.
Zhao Guofeng's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and shouted at Zhao Youcai: "Why are you still kidnapping him? Untie him quickly!"
Zhao Guofeng shouted at Zhao Youcai, and Big Fatty, Three Fatty, Little Bear, and White Dragon all rushed out of their nests and roared angrily at Zhao Guofeng.
At this time, there was no room left in the courtyard, and the barking of dogs was a mess. And in the middle of the night, Zhao Youcai didn't want Zhao Guofeng and Wang Dalong to enter the house, so he loudly said to Zhao Guofeng: "Guofeng, let's go outside and talk."
." After saying that, Zhao Youcai reached out to pull Zhao Guofeng's arm.
Zhao Guofeng shook his arm and got rid of Zhao Youcai's hand, then turned around and walked out of the hospital.
At this time, Zhao Guofeng also calmed down. He and Zhao Youcai grew up together since childhood. They are what Northeastern people call bare-butted babies.
Therefore, Zhao Guofeng knows Zhao Youcai very well. He knows who Zhao Youcai wants to deal with and will use all kinds of dirty tricks behind his back, but he will not kidnap someone.
The four of them walked outside the courtyard. The barking of the dogs still continued, but they could hear each other clearly. Zhao Youcai greeted Zhao Jun and asked Zhao Jun to tell Zhao Guofeng what happened tonight.
After Zhao Guofeng heard this, he was also a little scared. If Zhang Laibao was shot as a gangster, the matter would be a big deal. He is the head of the village and the director of security, so he will be implicated to some extent. Although it is not serious, it is still the same
Their entire Yong'an Village will definitely become a topic of conversation among young and old men from ten miles and eight villages.
After taking a long breath, Zhao Guofeng called Zhao Youcai aside and asked him, "Youcai, what do you think about this?"
Zhao Youcai and Zhao Guofeng looked at each other and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhao Guofeng took a deep breath helplessly, pointed toward the Zhao family courtyard, and said, "Zhang Laibao, you can't just keep being tied up by him, right?"
"That can't be done." Zhao Youcai smiled slightly, but when he saw Zhao Guofeng heaving a sigh of relief, he added: "I plan to strip him naked, tie him up like this, carry him, and put him around the village several times!"
As soon as Zhao Youcai said these words, Zhao Guofeng's eyelids jumped. He just wanted to parade Zhang Laibao through the streets. Moreover, he was stripped naked, tied up like a pig, and carried through the streets in the countryside.
After all this, the old Zhang family will lose all face, and Zhang Laibao's life will be over.
Zhao Guofeng thought for a while and opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
In fact, Zhao Guofeng wanted to persuade Zhao Youcai. But he had a good relationship with Zhao Youcai, and he did not want to affect his friendship with Zhao Youcai because of Zhang Zhanshan's son.
Zhao Jun saw Zhao Guofeng's expression from the side and felt funny in his heart. His father might be waiting for Zhao Guofeng to persuade him, but Zhao Guofeng was too scrupulous to speak.
At this time, I heard Zhao Youcai say to Zhao Guofeng: "Guofeng, just say what you want to say. There is nothing that we two brothers cannot say."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guofeng hurriedly took Zhao Youcai's arm and took him aside before saying, "Youcai, if you ask me to say it, I will."
"Go ahead." Zhao Youcai looked indifferent.
"It's not appropriate for you to do this." Zhao Guofeng said to Zhao Youcai seriously: "The piece of treasure is in front of you. After all, you are a junior, so you have to do this..."
At this point, Zhao Guofeng paused for a moment before continuing: "People in the village must say that you have done a great job."
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Youcai said: "Who in the village doesn't know what my relationship is with Zhang Wangba? This is his son that I captured. If he wants to capture my son, he will probably be even more ruthless than this!" p>
"Look, what are you talking about? Zhao Jun is not that kid either." Zhao Guofeng said, taking advantage of the situation to direct the conversation to Zhao Jun, and said: "Many of our farmers are forestry workers. This needs to be spread.
Will it have a bad influence if you go out? Look, there is also Director Zhou. What I know is that Zhang Zhanshan’s son is wrong, but what I don’t know is that you are bullying others."
"Oh..." Zhao Youcai pretended to think, hesitated for a moment, but then said in an instant: "What does that have to do with my family? What does it have to do with my in-laws? It's not me who kidnapped him. What he harmed was the old Li family's corn. He wanted to peel it off.
Him, it’s Dayong’s job to tie him up.”
Zhao Guofeng was helpless when he saw that Zhao Youcai had completely wiped out his family in just a few words.
But at this time, Zhao Youcai continued: "I'm telling you, this matter definitely can't be let go. How much harm did Dayong's Baomi cause them? And Baoyu's child. If it weren't for Zhang Laibao, this little bastard, what could Baoyu have done?
Are you injured? My child has just joined the workforce and won’t be able to go to class tomorrow. Doesn’t that affect your work?”
When Zhao Guofeng heard this, he hurriedly said to Zhao Youcai: "Look, why don't you tell Dayong about it." As he said that, Zhao Guofeng looked into the courtyard of Li's family. Just now, Li Dayong came out of the house, but he did not follow him out of the yard.
Zhao Guofeng has always been negotiating with Zhao Youcai.
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Youcai raised his eyebrows and asked with an unhappy expression: "You're just talking nonsense, is that what you're saying?"
Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Guofeng laughed. He understood what Zhao Youcai meant and said calmly: "That's definitely not possible. We have to ask Zhang Zhanshan to give us some compensation."
As soon as Zhao Guofeng finished speaking, he saw Zhao Youcai raised his hand and slapped him. Zhao Guofeng was stunned. His first reaction was that Zhao Youcai wanted five yuan. But then he thought about who Zhao Youcai was.
So, Zhao Guofeng immediately doubled the number in his mind and said to Zhao Youcai with great confidence: "Fifty, then I will go to Lao Zhang's house and ask you."
"What fifty?" Zhao Youcai's expression changed, he threw down his raised palm and said angrily: "Five hundred!"
"How much?" Zhao Guofeng was shocked. Although he was the village chief, his salary was only more than sixty yuan a month. Five hundred yuan was almost as much as what he earned in a year.
"Five hundred!" Zhao Youcai knew that Zhao Guofeng had heard clearly, but he just couldn't believe it, so he raised his hand again, slapped his palm in front of Zhao Guofeng's eyes, and redetermined the amount for him.
Just as Zhao Guofeng was about to say something, he heard a dog barking from Li's courtyard, and then saw Li Dayong escorting an old man out.
This old man is tall and thin, holding a cloth bag in his hand. He is Xu Guangyi.
"Master Xu." Zhao Jun hurriedly stepped forward and asked the old man: "How is Baoyu?"
"It will take a while." Xu Guangyi looked at Zhao Jun with a very good attitude. Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu had treated wild boars and black bears before, and his family also shared the meat. Otherwise, it was so late, and the old man might not have come to give it to Li Baoyu.
Look at the injury.
"Did you hear that?" Zhao Youcai heard Xu Guangyi's words, pointed back, and said something to Zhao Guofeng. Then, without waiting for Zhao Guofeng to answer, he turned around and came to Xu Guangyi and said, "Uncle Xu, you are going back." "Don't you have to go back? I've been getting ready in the middle of the night." Xu Guangyi was quite stubborn and was not polite in his words. When he passed Zhao Guofeng, he said again: "Guofeng, this old Zhang family is a bit shameful.
Right? You have to take care of it. You can’t do it anymore.”
"Hey, hey." In front of the old man who watched him grow up, Zhao Guofeng couldn't put on airs as a village commander. He could only agree repeatedly: "I'll take care of it. I'll find him soon."
"Take care of him!" The old man glanced at Zhao Guofeng, dropped three words, and then left.
Zhao Guofeng only shouted from behind: "Uncle Xu, you are just trying to make a fool of yourself, please slow down."
Xu Guangyi didn't say anything, he just took out a flashlight from his pocket and turned it on to illuminate.
While Zhao Guofeng turned around to talk to Xu Guangyi, Zhao Youcai quietly waved to Li Dayong, and Li Dayong hurriedly came behind Zhao Guofeng.
When Zhao Guofeng turned around, he saw a tall man standing in front of him, and he was immediately startled.
When he came to his senses, he heard Li Dayong say: "Brother Guofeng, what do you think of this matter today? My Baoyu's arm was knocked out by a gun handle, and now the whole shoulder is swollen and tall. Uncle Xu just came from
Before I came home, my son said that this child would take a while to be raised seriously.
You said, if you have some troubles from now on, how can you still drive? Wouldn’t the job be bad?"
"Oops..."
Just as Zhao Guofeng was about to speak, he heard Zhao Youcai say from the side: "Don't say anything, Dayong. I just made an agreement with Guofeng to let Zhang Wangba pay five hundred yuan to your family. That's it." p>
"When did you agree?" Zhao Guofeng was dumbfounded and said to Zhao Youcai: "Besides, my promise to you doesn't count. Then Zhang Zhanshan has to agree."
"Then you tell him!" Zhao Youcai waved his hands indifferently and said: "If he doesn't compensate us, I... No, Dayong stripped naked for his son, tied him up like this, and carried him to the place. I think
He and his uncle have the nerve not to be left alone."
This is even worse. Zhang Zhanshan and Zhang Laibao's brothers-in-law both work in forest farms. If Li Dayong really did what Zhao Youcai said, their family would really be disgraced.
"That's okay." Zhao Guofeng smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "Then I'll go and talk to Zhang Zhanshan for you. I don't care whether it succeeds or fails."
"Yeah." Zhao Youcai smiled when he heard this and said, "But don't go now, just wait until dawn. If you go now, you won't be able to see their family."
