() The distance was nearly 200 meters. Lu Yang tried his best and swam across it in less than two minutes.
Helena had already run into the woods at this time, and her violent roar could be heard from inside.
Lu Yang didn't know what happened. He was just confused and confused. He got up from the water and ran barefoot into the woods.
Only a dozen meters away, the grove suddenly opened up, and we were already outside the administrator's room next to the dam.
Helena was now in the posture of an old hen, protecting a puppy that had obviously just broken its leg and was tied to a wooden stool. She was gesticulating angrily and yelling at the man in front of her. She was speaking too fast due to her excitement, so she couldn't even hear her.
What did Qing say?
An uncle in his forties or fifties, wearing a vest and shorts, who was obviously the reservoir manager, was holding the kitchen knife in his hand blankly. He didn't understand what went crazy with this scantily clad foreign woman, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.
, his eyes were full of fear.
Lu Yang saw this scene clearly, and the breath he was holding suddenly came out.
It turned out to be a big dog rescue operation, and I thought it was the end of the world...
Lu Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly went up to comfort the stunned reservoir manager and explained Helena's special feelings for the puppy as a foreign friend.
The uncle manager of the reservoir came back to his senses and looked at the crazy foreign woman who was still angry and startled him, his face suddenly elongated.
This foreigner is so weird even for women!
Lu Yang originally wanted to explain to Helena that eating dog meat was just a local custom, but after thinking about it, there was no need, so he simply used the simplest way to solve it.
"Then two...fifty!"
When the reservoir manager heard that the boy in front of him wanted to buy the puppy with a broken leg, he quickly set a price without hesitation.
Anyway, these people seem to have money, and they don’t lack anything.
Lu Yang was not in the mood to bargain at this time, so he asked the other party to save the dog. Then he calmed down the angry Helena and turned around to get the money.
When Lu Yang ran out of the woods again, Luo Gen, the fat man who heard the noise nearby, swam over first, followed by Lu Weiyang, but Yin Zijie took Su Shu and swam to the other side first.
"It's no big deal, I'll just go get the money."
Lu Yang explained and saw that Lu Weiyang was still planning to take a look, so he pulled her back and swam back.
There is no need to get over such small things.
Lu Yang took Lu Weiyang back to the wooden house on the other side and asked her, Yin Zijing and Su Shu to take a shower and change clothes.
Luo Minhua and Yin Yan realized something was wrong, and they also came to inquire.
After Lu Yang explained, Luo Minhua quickly went to find his wallet, and he was too lazy to refuse the wealthy man's kindness.
Sister Wei, who heard the commotion, also came over. Knowing this, and seeing Lu Yang's lips turned blue, she said she might as well go over on a bamboo raft.
Lu Yang also felt that his body temperature was a little low after continuous swimming. He agreed to find some clothes and walked towards the wooden house when he saw a familiar figure walking out of the wooden house that served as the restaurant and kitchen next door.
Wei Zhixiu was not in the mood to swim before, so she thought it would be better to help Sister Wei cook something delicious. Yangyang liked to drink pickled cabbage and fish soup, so her mood might be better.
After a wave of emotions, Lu Yang saw Wei Zhixiu, who had changed into a T-shirt and shorts and was holding a rice spoon in his hand. He was obviously busy in the kitchen before. He couldn't help but quickly walked up to her before she could say anything.
.
"Yang...um..."
Wei Zhixiu forced out a breath of turbid air. Lu Yang's movements were so fierce that she was hugged tightly in his arms and could not speak at all.
But the language is no longer needed at this time.
Being hugged tightly by Lu Yang and feeling the rapid rise and fall of his heart made Wei Zhixiu understand that Yang Yang still cared about her and that his previous troubled mood had not changed anything.
For a moment, Wei Zhixiu's head became dizzy, but his eyes subconsciously looked around secretly, fearing that the two of them would be seen so close.
Luo Minhua was rummaging for something in her travel bag on the table next to the wicker chair. Sister Wei walked towards the bamboo raft at the end of the plank road. Only the girl Yin Yan happened to turn around and saw the two of them hugging each other tightly.
It opened wide all of a sudden.
When Wei Zhixiu was panicking, she felt that maybe she was holding her too tightly. Little Yangyang, whom she had not felt for a long time, was twitching, and soon became hard.
Feeling increasingly panicked, Wei Zhixiu didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him when Lu Yang suddenly let go of himself, turned around, picked up the travel bag at the door and went directly to the cabin.
Wei Zhixiu stood blankly at the door, his mind confused. Within a few minutes, the door opened, and Lu Yang had already put on a new set of sportswear and walked out, his face already very calm.
"What...what happened?"
Wei Zhixiu opened her mouth and looked at Lu Yang, who had grown up more and more over the past year. Her eyes were inevitably a little dodgey.
"It's okay, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Lu Yang had already adjusted his breathing and mood. He talked about the matter, turned around and walked towards the plank road.
Sister Wei and the employees of the fishing company pushed the raft out. For safety, the area was very large, and two rows of bamboo chairs were nailed in the middle.
At this time, Lu Weiyang had already dressed and came out. She didn't want anything to happen to the foreign guests here, so she said she would follow them.
When Lu Yang saw Luo Minhua, he also said to go and have a look. He was worried that Yin Zijie would also go when he came out. Then Su Shu, the girl, couldn't stay idle. She quickly said that it would be better if there were fewer people, and pulled Lu Weiyang onto the bamboo raft.
A teenage boy hired locally by the fishing company rowed the bamboo raft vigorously, and it took more than ten minutes to get close to the other side.
Lu Yang and Lu Weiyang heard Helena's panic scream from a distance in the woods. They looked at each other and knew something was wrong, so they jumped off the bamboo raft and ran over as soon as they reached the shore.
Walking through the woods, the scene in front of me has changed drastically. The land that was once barely peaceful has now completely changed. Especially the puppy tied to the wooden bench whose belly was ripped open with a kitchen knife, and the blood all over the ground looked shocking.
The reservoir manager was standing a few steps away with an expressionless face. In front of him were a few young people with red faces and obviously drunkenness. They were dressed like township-level gangsters.
"devil...devil..."
Helena collapsed on the ground. She stared blankly at the dead puppy, her eyes full of tears and her mouth moaning.
"Oh, godless, fuck! shit! damn!"
Fat man Logan stood in front of Helena, angrily cursing her, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes. Looking at the arrogant young people in front of him, he couldn't help but regret that his attitude was too tough just now.
This kind of local ruffians are the most difficult to deal with, especially in such a small place. It is not a good thing to really take action.
Lu Yang walked closer, saw the scene in front of him, and subconsciously pulled Lu Weiyang behind him.
"whathappened?"
Seeing that Helena was not in a normal mood, Lu Yang asked Logan.
"Oh, godless! road..."
When Logan saw Lu Yang and Lu Weiyang, he had a rescued expression on his face and quickly called them over.
"Hey, if you ask for help, you can kill my dog, and none of them will be able to escape the claws!"
At this time, a few gangsters came over with sullen faces, but the reservoir manager turned around and went back to the room, not even asking for fifty yuan.
"What's going on?"
Lu Yang saw that several of the leading gangsters had been drinking and had been staring at Helena with impure eyes. Now when he saw Lu Weiyang's bright expression, his heart sank and he was ready to take action.
"What's going on? Hehe..."
The leading gangster smiled and said that it turned out that he had brought the dog, and he just asked an acquaintance, the reservoir manager, to help him deal with it.
A few people came over just now and asked the reservoir manager. They knew that there was a scammer who wanted to spend fifty yuan to buy this worthless puppy. They all wanted to extort more money.
The leading gangster came to negotiate with the two foreigners. Unexpectedly, the fat foreigner was very excited, gesticulating and yelling.
Knowing that he could not lose his momentum, the leading gangster pretended to be entangled with the fat foreigner. Suddenly, the kitchen knife 'missed' and killed the puppy.
There was no way the other party could escape now, and besides, the leading gangster had been drinking and wanted to cause trouble.
That female foreigner was pretty good-looking, but I didn’t expect this girl to be even more arrogant...
"My dog is worth five hundred bucks, and it won't last for even a penny less!"
The leading gangster stretched out his hand and waved it very proudly.
"Five hundred is five hundred, just wait and we will get the money for you."
Lu Yang replied calmly, of course he knew he couldn't get away so easily.
"ah?"
The leading gangster was stunned. He didn't expect to meet a rich man. Buying a dog for five hundred was a waste.
"Hey, if you want it, go quickly!"
The leading gangster came to his senses. He and his brothers looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts.
Who knows if this little kid is looking for an excuse to call someone?
"This girl will stay here first..."
The leading gangster looked at the boy and didn't say a word. He pulled the woman with a very good figure, who had obviously just swam, and was wearing a white shirt that made her throat tremble. She turned around and wanted to leave. He hurriedly chased her after a few steps.
"Get away!"
Lu Yang was already prepared. He turned around and hid Lu Weiyang behind him, and took the lead gangster's hand, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the side.
Lu Weiyang took a few steps back. She remained silent and left the situation to Lu Yang to handle, not just because she believed in the other party's ability.
After working in the township for more than a year, Lu Weiyang also knows how complicated the situation below is, especially the young man who has drunk in front of him, who is most likely to become confused and do bad things.
"You're so numb that you dare to make the first move?"
The leading gangster had an expression of disbelief on his face. He turned around and shouted at the brothers who were surrounding him with smiles: "Oh my God, what are you going to do when you criticize Zaizai?"
At this time, the young man from the cooperative fishery company tied up the bamboo raft. He ran over and was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Wang Sanmao!"
The young man hurriedly stepped forward to stop the gangster from the next town who often came to cause trouble. He heard that he was the grandson of the secretary of the nearby village.
"This is Mayor Lu. If you dare to mess around, be careful you old man will beat you to death!"
The young man was threatening and his whole body was shaking. He couldn't deal with these people by himself.
It's just that the fishery company couldn't agree on the infrastructure fee proposed by Wang Sanmao Village, and the relationship between the two parties was very tense. Now if something goes wrong, it won't be easy to deal with, and you may not be able to do your job successfully.
The young man earns more than 3,000 yuan a year from the fishing company, so of course he is not willing to give up his job.
"Mayor Lu?"
The leading gangster was stunned and looked at the woman with a good figure that the young man pointed at, with a confused face. He didn't expect that the woman had such a background.
He's really the mayor, he doesn't dare to mess around anymore...
"I am Lu Weiyang, which village are you from?"
At this time, Lu Weiyang saw that several gangsters were angry, and she immediately seized the opportunity to step forward and speak seriously.
Although he is no longer the mayor of Yaoquan Town, I believe there are still people around here who have heard of his name.
Sure enough, several gangsters looked at each other and completely lost their momentum, especially the leading gangster whose eyes dodged.
"Hey, this is Mr. Zhang's bark from our fishery company. You bastard Wang Sanmao stole it and beat him to death..."
When the young man saw this scene, he knew that there was no problem. When he saw the other party's puppy in a pool of blood, he screamed sharply.
Teacher Zhang is a retired technician hired by the fishing company. He just brought a puppy here a few days ago. This afternoon he said that the dog was gone. Unexpectedly, these puppies stole it and wanted to eat it.
"Hey! You!"
The young man watched a few gangsters running away. He was stunned and there was really nothing he could do. Now that there was no confrontation, these gangsters couldn't find anyone for a while, so there was really nothing they could do.
Seeing that there was no need to fight, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. The young man took the dead dog with him. He called to Logan to help the sad Helena, and they returned to the bamboo raft.
When we reached the other side, the sun was already setting, and everyone lost interest. Amid the pleasantries and complaints between the young man and Teacher Zhang, they had a hasty meal of pickled fish with no flavor.
Sister Wei led the way, and the group climbed the mountain back to the farmhouse. It was getting dark, and Alto's driver was waiting for them. Everyone hurried to the Laojie Inn.
When we got back to the inn, we were so tired that we broke up to rest, but Lu Yang didn't have time to spare. Together with Lu Weiyang and Wei Zhixiu, he went to Jinxiangshan Hotel again and heard his grandma say that his second brother had returned.
Seeing Wei Zhiwen's tired face, Lu Yang didn't know what to say, so he took him to have tea and rest, and casually chatted about tourism development, asking him to pay attention to safety first, especially in cooperation projects where safety work must be strengthened, and some conditions were not good.
Don't force yourself to get on the horse.
Later, after hearing that Wei Laoer said that Yin Zishan didn't seem to be in a good mood when he came back with the old man of the Yin family, Lu Weiyang thought about it and decided not to bother him tonight and see if there is a chance tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
After Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu were sent back to the Old Street Inn, Lu Weiyang waved goodbye. She had left her mother in the dormitory all day, so she might be in a hurry now.
The condition of the newly renovated old house of the Wei family was actually not good and inconvenient. After discussing with the eldest brother, third sister and Lao Wu, Wei Zhiwen persuaded the two elders to set an example and hand over the old house and homestead to the Guzhen Tourism Development Company. There are also plans for the second phase in the future.
Wei Hongcheng and Wang Qingmei, together with other villagers of Yaochuan Village, also replaced the buildings in the family area of the Red Shipyard.
The office building of the Yaoquan Ancient Town Tourism Development Company is in the original building of Yangyang's family. The first floor is temporarily occupied by two elderly people and their second sister-in-law. They plan to buy a house in Nanlong in the future. The second brother himself often stays at Jinxiangshan Hotel and Laojie Inn.
Just sleep for one night.
The office building of Jinquan Gangyu Company is opposite the complex building on Yaoquan New Street. A four-story family building was converted into an office building. My eldest brother usually lives there.
In the building of Yangyang's house, there are rooms for Lao Wu and himself, which have been specially decorated, but the Wei family has actually been separated.
Where is your current home?
At this time, Wei Zhixiu felt very uneasy as she followed Lu Yang with her luggage bag. The completely intimate hug in the afternoon was so sudden that she didn't know how to adjust her mentality.
"I opened the room"
Lu Yang took Wei Zhixiu upstairs. It was very late and there were not many people around. He took out many keys from his trouser pocket and handed them over.
"ah?"
Wei Zhixiu was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned red.
Do two people live in one room?
There are several stairs going up and down the long row of stilted buildings. At this time, the two of them had already climbed the stairs specially reserved for Yin Zijie and his party, which were the most convenient and comfortable for this row of large houses.
Before Wei Zhixiu could react, a wooden door creaked open. She was startled and took a few steps back.
"Where did you go? Zi Jing came to see you in an emergency and asked you to call her when you came back."
Yin Zijie hurried out when she heard the commotion and was not happy when she saw Lu Yang. Of course, what was even more frustrating was that her sister couldn't explain clearly no matter how she asked, which made her really irritated.
There was a telephone specially installed in the big house to be forwarded. Lu Yang walked to the door of Yin Zijie's room and looked at Su Shu who was already sleeping soundly and smiled.
"Lu Yang?"
"It's me."
The call was connected, and Lu Yang listened to the somewhat chaotic voice on the phone. Although he was surprised that Yin Zijing had something urgent to call him, his voice remained calm.
"I've already told your mother and asked her to buy you a plane ticket," Yin Zijing's voice lost its calmness and she said in a rare hurry: "You rush back to Chongshan tomorrow morning and take a flight to Beidu in the afternoon!"
(ps: I’m not making excuses. I’m busier than expected during the holidays, and my condition is also not good. This chapter of 4,055 has finally changed the map. I’ll try to write a high-level post below. Of course, my writing skills are not good, so don’t expect too much...)
