Xiao Fang turned to look at me and said, "Hit you? I've already beaten you. What's the use of beating you? Will my dad come back?"
She sniffed and said with red eyes: "My dad did that to raise money to look at my legs. You killed him to save yourself."
"You saved me. I'm not a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. We've settled our differences. You can leave. You won't have to come here anymore."
I nodded, put the plastic bag on the table and said: "Your father is gone and your family has no source of income. This is 250,000. You can keep this money for yourself. First, cure the leg, and then make a small fortune in Kangding."
Business can at least support oneself."
She shook her head: "You can take it, I won't ask for your money."
"I've brought it all, how could I be taking it away? Besides, you have to figure it out."
"I didn't give you this money, and you don't need charity. Your father gave me two paper figurines. This is the money I paid to buy your paper figurines."
She looked at me with complicated eyes and said nothing.
...
After resting for two days, I took my things and headed into the mountains this afternoon.
The boss and I made an agreement to meet up with the troops at the old stone building on the second floor of the mountain. Xiaoxuan wanted to come with me. I felt it was inconvenient, so I didn't take her with me.
The horse is still stored in the backyard of the small hotel. Of course, this time I went into the mountains on horseback.
I arrived at the experimental field in the evening. I didn't want to walk at night, so I wanted to stay here for one night.
"Uncle Guo! Are you at home?"
The door was open and I called for a long time, but no one answered.
I thought to myself where this was going, so I tied the horse and went into the house.
"Uncle Guo?"
I stopped and looked down. There was a pool of dried blood on the ground, which looked like human blood.
I immediately realized that something might have happened!
I immediately touched my waist. This was a wild gun I got on the black market. It could shoot thirteen bullets.
Carefully pushing open the bedroom door, I held the gun and peered through the crack in the door.
There was no one around, but there was a distinct smell, as if someone had pooped in the room.
And this smell comes from the bed.
Judging from the outline, there is a person on the bed covered with a quilt, motionless, and it is not clear whether he is dead or alive.
I rushed over quickly and threw off the quilt!
"Woo...Woo!"
A bearded man of about thirty years old, his hands and feet were tightly tied with ropes and tied to the bed. His face was covered with injuries, the corners of his eyes were cracked from beatings, and his lower body was smelly. He was pulled on the bed.
When he saw me, he struggled hard! He kept whining and whining! His eyes were full of asking for help.
I took away the rag that blocked his mouth and asked loudly: "Who are you! How come you are tied here! Where is Uncle Guo!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were panic-stricken, and he gasped quickly: "Help...save me! Help! I am a tourist! I was robbed, he...he is going to kill me! Help me quickly.
Untie!"
"Speak clearly! Who robbed you! Who wants to kill you!"
"Come on...it's too late, please help me untie...that man is coming back soon!"
While I was momentarily hesitating, there was a sudden loud shout outside the door.
"Don't touch him!"
"Uncle Guo! You...you are..."
The person who came was none other than Guo Qingzhong, who was responsible for guarding the experimental fields in the mountains.
At this moment, he had an angry look on his face. He ran in without saying a word, raised his arms and slapped the middle-aged man on the face twice! He used great force!
"Fortunately, I came back early. Thank you for not helping this guy loosen his bonds! Do you know who he is!?"
I was confused and said I didn't know.
Uncle Guo pointed at this man and cursed angrily: "He is a wanted criminal who escaped from the Northeast! He came here that day and asked to stay with me for one night. I recognized him at a glance!"
"What? A wanted criminal? Real or fake? So Uncle Guo, you caught a wanted criminal? What crime did he commit?"
"I know you don't believe it! Wait for me for a minute, and you will take a good look at him! I will come right away!"
After saying that, he hurried out and within two minutes, he came back with a newspaper.
"Look! Is it him?"
I took the newspaper and read it.
Looking at it this way, it is true that he looks exactly the same. The newspaper described this person as some kind of fund-raising fraudster. He was targeted at Shuangliu Shooting Field in Chengdu, and he was later allowed to run away. The police station published a wanted notice offering a reward for clues.
Or whoever catches it directly will be rewarded 5,000 yuan.
In those days, when the Internet and smart phones were not yet popular, it was not surprising that the only way to issue a reward warrant was through newspapers, magazines and television.
"I'm your mother! Let me go quickly!"???.
Lao Guo stepped forward with a big kick, rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "How dare you have a bad mouth! Just because you want to knock me down? Do you think I have practiced Qigong for nothing for several years!"
The man looked sad and said immediately: "I'm your mother, brother, I have no fucking grudge against you! The police station gave you five thousand, why don't I give you fifty thousand? You can't let me go!"
Lao Guo immediately said: "Okay, of course fifty thousand is fine! The question is, where is the money? Give it to me!"
"I...I have no money now. If it were before! Let alone fifty thousand! Five hundred thousand is just drizzle to me! I came here to find my elder brother. You let me go. In three days,
Guilty! I asked my elder brother to send you the money!"
"Tsk," Lao Guo said with a smile: "Do you think I'm a fool? Would I believe your nonsense?"
My heart skipped a beat and I immediately asked: "What is your eldest brother's name?"
The man immediately shut up and said, "Just fight me, I won't talk about it."
I was anxious and asked directly: "Is your eldest brother's surname Zhang? He is from Northeast China?"
The man's eyes widened and he said loudly: "You know him!"
I smiled bitterly in my heart, what are these things? I don’t just know them.
"Uncle Guo, please go out first, and I will have a few words with him alone."
"Why, no way...little brother, do you know this wanted criminal?"
I shook my head and said I didn't know him, I was just asking, uncle, don't think too much about it.
After they left, I said directly: "Please make things clear. Brother Biao is my benefactor, and I am also from the Northeast."
"Are you from the Northeast too? Where are you from?"
"Mohe." I said.
He said happily: "That's great! Fellow fellow! I'm from Tieling!"
"Don't get too close. It's at least a thousand miles from Mohe to Tieling. Who is your fellow villager? Tell me, what's going on with you?"
Immediately, the man said dejectedly: "Last year, I committed a crime. I defrauded my boss of millions and was wanted by my sponsor. I had been working as a laborer on the coastal dock. A few months ago, Brother Biao suddenly called me.
I got on the phone and he told me that there is a paradise here in Sichuan, and that if I really can’t survive anymore, I should come to him and he would take me in. It would be safe there and I could even get a bite to eat.”
I nodded: "Then do you know where he is?"
He shook his head: "After that time, Brother Biao's phone calls have never been able to get through. I only know that he seems to be in the Miyaoshan area."
He suddenly got excited: "Little brother, we are fellow villagers! You must not ignore death! Although I am temporarily depressed, please believe that I will make a comeback in the future! When the time comes, I will give you a Mercedes-Benz! No!
I’ll give you a Rolls-Royce!”
"Um......"
I touched my chin and said, "Let me think about it."
