After the vehicle was stopped, two police officers got on the vehicle one after another and began to check each passenger with photos.
When walking to Xie Liuyun's side, the policeman walking in front glanced at the photo, then at him, tilting his head to compare.
Xie Liuyun raised his head and asked, "Officer, is there any problem?"
"What do you do?"
"I'm a salesperson and I'm on a business trip today. Officer, did something happen?"
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and just sit in your car."
As he spoke, the policeman continued to walk back and check the other passengers.
When the policeman behind him passed by Xie Liuyun, he gave him a sharp look and said, "Don't mind your own business when you're out."
Xie Liuyun's eyes did not dodge at all, and he watched them walk over without speaking a word.
Their car was quickly inspected and released. Xie Liuyun pretended to be casual and squinted at the several policemen standing on the road, observing the situation outside the car.
When he saw the wretched-looking policeman, Xie Liuyun couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
He didn't recognize the policeman's face, but he seemed to have seen those bright eyes somewhere.
Why is it so familiar?
Xie Liuyun couldn't remember where he had seen these eyes before, but the look in his eyes made him a little uneasy.
With Xie Liuyun full of doubts, the bus drove farther and farther away from Tonglu County.
In the evening of the second day, the bus drove to the border of Xuzhou, where Jiangsu and Shandong provinces meet.
In front of a relatively spacious horse and carriage shop, the bus stopped to refuel, and the passengers on the bus got out of the car, stretching their legs and resting.
While the vehicle was refueling, the flight attendants on board the vehicle invited everyone to have a meal. Some people who did not want to spend more money got on the bus and took out their own food from their luggage to satisfy their hunger.
Xie Liuyun also got into the car and took out the specialties he bought from his baggage, opened them and ate them.
When he was at the grocery store at the bus station, he specially bought Tonglu specialties that could be unpacked and eaten immediately, just in time to satisfy his hunger on the road.
He didn't know what he would encounter during this trip. He didn't have much savings. His father's unexpected disappearance left him with little money to carry with him, so he was more economical on expenses.
In order to reduce unnecessary extraneous matters, Xie Liuyun deliberately kept a distance from other people and rarely communicated with others.
The letters left by his father in the wooden box were neatly collected and put into his underwear pocket.
But the empty wooden box was still in his satchel and was not thrown away.
Xie Liuyun knew that this wooden box was a very important piece of physical evidence, especially the word "Yong" on it, which should be related to the recipient of the letter his father asked him to send.
When a sudden change occurred in his family, Xie Liuyun decided that no matter what hardships and twists he suffered, he would persevere until he solved all his confusion and rescued his father who was held hostage.
Now, he hopes to find someone to help him in Anqiu. Although he doesn't know what kind of person the other person is, but since it is the person his father told him to contact, he must be able to help them.
Of father and son.
This is the only thing that makes Xie Liuyun feel at ease so far.
After all, there is still hope in his heart. Before Xie Liuyun arrives in Anqiu and meets Yongji, he will always be vigilant about the people and things around him. He must not get into trouble, otherwise no one will be able to save his father.
Xie Liuyun intuitively felt that shortly after setting off from Tonglu yesterday, the police who set up traffic jams on the road to intercept vehicles for inspection were coming for him.
Although the other party's personnel were tight-lipped and he did not ask what their purpose was, Xie Liuyun believed that his sixth sense was absolutely unmistakable.
In particular, the look in the policeman's eyes reminded him all the time that these policemen had bad intentions.
Is there something wrong with Uncle Liu?
Could he have anything to do with his father's disappearance?
Are the weird boy who came to his home the night before and the man called Fourth Brother the same group as the master and apprentice who followed him yesterday?
If so, then they took great pains to target their father and son, which also means that this group of unknown people must have a shocking secret that they are afraid of being known.
Leaving Tonglu by yourself is something they don't want to see.
As long as he is not caught by them, it means that his father is safe for the time being and his life will not be in danger.
However, if they are not together, the situation is more complicated.
This shows that there must be a secret hidden in Tonglu, which is enough to attract several forces to engage in secret competition.
The father's disappearance must have involved the important interests of a certain organization, otherwise they would not have held his father hostage to control him, but they did not want outsiders to know their purpose.
With these questions and an uneasy mood, Xie Liuyun finally arrived in Anqiu County around three o'clock in the afternoon on the third day after leaving Tonglu.
The destination of the bus is Weifang, and it will pass through Anqiu County on the way, but it will not pass through the urban area of Anqiu County.
Therefore, after asking the flight attendant, Xie Liuyun chose an intersection leading to Anqiu County and got off the bus.
He was the only one who got off the bus here. After he got off the bus, the bus drove away.
Xie Liuyun was not in a hurry to catch a passing vehicle and rush to Anqiu County. Instead, he walked to the roadside, unpacked the bag with only two bags of food left, put the food and the blue cloth into his satchel.
This is a three-way intersection. He just asked in the car that the road leading to Anqiu County is the road on the right, and the road leading to Weifang City on the left.
Standing on the roadside, Xie Liuyun also noticed that there were road signs on the roadside, guiding the direction of the road, which was no different from what the bus attendant said.
There are several stalls on the roadside at the intersection, most of which sell fresh fruits and vegetables, and one of them sells tea.
Judging from this situation, this intersection should be a place where passing buses often drop off passengers, otherwise there would be no people setting up stalls to sell things, doing business here waiting for customers to come to their doors.
Xie Liuyun walked to the stall selling tea and saw that the stall owner was an old man in his sixties, a kind-hearted old man, looking at him with a smile.
"Uncle, what kind of tea are you serving here?"
Xie Liuyun asked, pointing to the tea bowl placed on the chopping board.
"What I sell is authentic jasmine tea produced in Zhejiang, which not only quenches thirst but also refreshes you. Master, I hope you won't regret it after drinking it."
The old man introduced his tea confidently.
Jasmine tea is fragrant in the mouth and lingers on the teeth and cheeks. It is the favorite tea variety of Xie Liuyun and his son.
Xie Liuyun was very happy when he heard the old man saying that what he was selling was jasmine tea, and asked: "Master, how do you sell this tea?"
“A bowl costs five cents, and water refills are free, and we guarantee that you will drink enough.”
The old man answered Xie Liuyun's question generously.
"Okay! Let's have a bowl."
Xie Liuyun took a maza in front of the stall and sat down, waiting patiently for the old man to make tea.
