Given her age, Little Tang's grandma would definitely not be able to outrun the young people over time. Tang Gui's wife kept ringing the bell and rode her bicycle away.
I dodged two or three times, but was still hit in the calf by a pebble. The slingshot was so powerful that for a moment, I felt terrible pain.
A nameless anger suddenly arose, she is trying to kill me!
I didn't choose to fight hard because I didn't want to take the risk. The old lady had a hoe and a slingshot in her hands, but I had nothing.
If you think you are powerful, you can give it a try. Young people should not underestimate the old people in rural areas who have serious feudal ideas. They will suffer big losses.
To the north of the village is Guizailing. The hut where the forest ranger Lao Hu lives is closest to me. I ran across the rice fields to Lao Hu's door.
"Bang bang bang!"
After knocking on the door, I gasped and looked back.
"who is it?"
"Master Hu! Me! I am Xiaoxiang!"
"Open the door quickly and let me hide for a while."
Lao Hu opened the door wearing a military coat, and I ducked into the hut.
"Master Hu, hurry up and lock the door, she is coming after you!"
"Who's chasing me?"
"Grandma Xiao Tang! Li Jieyu!"
"She was the one who injured Yapo with a slingshot! She probably also hurt Yapo's granddaughter!"
Lao Hu looked stunned for a moment, then quickly locked the door after he realized what he was doing.
"What's the specific situation?" he asked.
I had an inexplicable sense of trust in the ranger Lao Hu, so I told him what I saw in a short time, and he frowned.
After hearing this, Lao Hu said: "I know that talisman. It is a talisman passed down between generations of Yapas. Many years ago, the Yapas have been protecting this thing, including the great census of cultural relics, so...
....”
"Bang bang!"
As I was talking, there were suddenly several rapid knocks on the door, and I immediately hid behind the bed.
"Who? Going to bed." Lao Hu shouted outside the door.
After a minute or two, Grandma Xiao Tang's voice came.
"Brother Hu, have you seen Xiao Xiang? I have something to do with him."
"It's Sister Li. No, I didn't see anyone. I lay down to sleep after eight o'clock."
At this time, Little Grandma Tang walked to the window, pressed her face against the glass, and shined a flashlight into the room.
I looked down and quickly took back my exposed foot.
"Hey, Sister Li, what are you taking a picture of?"
Lao Hu put his hands in front of his eyes and said, "I am a bachelor, is it possible that there is a young lady hiding in the house?"
"Then, brother Hu, I'm leaving. If you see Xiao Xiang, just tell him that I have something to talk to him about."
Soon there was no sound outside the door, and Lao Hu opened the window and looked outside.
"She's gone, come out."
"Master Hu, was it Grandma Xiao Tang who hit us two with a slingshot that night in Guizailing?"
Lao Hu lit the candle with a match. He blew out the match and said: "I don't know. In the early days of the village, the families who shot birds and sold them for money had slingshots. There was a grudge between their grandmothers, but I have been getting along with her in the village for decades, and we have always been good.
There is no grudge."
I said that was strange. Was it another person that night?
Lao Hu changed the briquettes and said to me: "You go back first. I will go to the police station to report the crime tomorrow. You are a witness and you will cooperate with the police to take notes."
"No! Don't call the police!"
"I...I mean don't call the police yet. We don't have evidence for some things. It's better to find out more about it before talking about it."
Lao Hu took out a cigarette and lit it close to the red-hot briquette tongs.
"call...."
"You said you guys are tourists. With so many things happening in the village these days, you are still traveling here?" Lao Hu said, looking at me with squinted eyes.
