Uncle Li was sitting in the restaurant, still expressionless, drinking alone there. Chen Weiguo and his son Chen Qiang were sitting nearby, sometimes looking at Uncle Li, sometimes raising their heads, looking above their heads, hearing the sound coming from their ears.
The woman's suppressed moans and the creak of the wooden bed.
Chen Weiguo's expression was solemn and he was worried, and he didn't know what he was thinking. However, Chen Qiang's face was very gloomy, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes from time to time.
Although Uncle Li did not speak, the old man could see the changes in the expressions of Chen Weiguo and his son.
"Boom."
The old man put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and said to Chen Weiguo: "Go and see the police. I'm a little worried."
"Uncle Li, don't worry, they are watching, nothing will happen." Chen Weiguo also stood up and said.
Uncle Li didn't say anything, he just glanced at Chen Weiguo and walked outside. Chen Weiguo didn't say anything and hurriedly left with him.
When passing by his son Chen Qiang, Chen Weiguo found that he was still sitting there, so he kicked Chen Qiang and scolded him softly: "You're gone, why are you still standing there?"
After being kicked by Chen Weiguo, Chen Qiang came to his senses, stood up, and walked outside with Chen Weiguo. When leaving the main room, Chen Qiang turned his head and glanced in the direction of the second floor, his eyes desperate and painful, and finally
, seemed to have accepted his fate, no longer thinking about what happened upstairs, lowered his head, and followed Chen Weiguo.
The moon is very bright tonight, covering the entire earth with a silver-white veil. You can see the surrounding scenery clearly without using any lighting equipment.
After Uncle Li and his party left Chen Wei's country, they did not go towards the village. Instead, they went around behind the house and walked along a winding path towards the back mountain.
The forest was green during the day, but at night, the greenery had long since disappeared, leaving only the dark shadows of the trees, gently swaying under the blowing of the night wind, like a group of demons dancing around, chattering and screaming during the day
After knowing the cicada, I became completely quiet at this time. When I walked on the winding path, everything seemed so quiet.
Uncle Li walked in the front. Although the light here became very dim after entering the small intestine path, the old man still walked very steadily. Obviously, he had walked this road many times and was extremely familiar with it.
Chen Weiguo and his son followed behind, and the same was true. Obviously, they had been here many times.
Chen Qiang walked at the back, always with his head lowered. Occasionally he would look back at the village with confused eyes. What appeared in his mind was the image of the girl and the damn policeman entangled naked, and there was still music in his ears.
The girl's painful moans echoed, which made Chen Qiang feel even more uncomfortable.
Chen Weiguo has naturally noticed Chen Qiang's emotional changes since he knows his son better than his father. He knows what happened to his son. After all, he watched the girl he likes sleeping with another man, and it was him who personally sent the girl in.
No one can accept this.
Chen Weiguo sighed and slowed down his pace slightly. When Chen Qiang approached, Chen Weiguo asked in a low voice: "Still thinking about what happened just now?"
Chen Qiang raised his head, looked at Chen Weiguo, nodded, and asked in a low and depressed voice: "Why? Why do you do this?"
"If we don't do this, everything we have done over the years will be exposed, and we will all go in." Chen Weiguo said slowly.
"But, what does this have to do with A-mei? She is only seventeen years old. She doesn't know anything. Can't she let others do it?"
Although Chen Qiang's voice was low, it was extremely angry. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with this action.
"Why......"
Chen Weiguo turned his head and glanced at Chen Qiang in the moonlight. Of course he knew what was going on with Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang liked Amei and he had liked her since he was a child. Usually, the relationship between the two of them was very good. Amei treated Chen Qiang like an elder brother.
, many people thought that they might be together in the future, but when the police showed up, they had to do it. In fact, Chen Weiguo didn't want Amei to do it. After all, Chen Qiang was his only son, and he
He also likes this girl Amei very much, and naturally hopes that the two of them can get together. However, this is Uncle Li's arrangement, and he cannot refute it, even if he is the village chief.
"After this matter is resolved, do you have any woman you want? The world is so big and there are so many women. With money, you can find any woman you want." Chen Weiguo comforted.
"Money, money, money, you just know money, what's so good about money? Over the years, you have made so much money, why don't you just stay in this poor ravine? What's the use of making more money? We and them
Same, it’s not good to leave here and go to the city or county to live, why do you have to stay here?” Chen Qiang couldn’t help but raise his voice.
Facing his son's questions, Chen Weiguo didn't know how to answer, or in other words, there were some things he couldn't tell his son.
"You know clearly that I like A-mei, but you still want to give her to someone else and let me send her in personally. Why? That policeman is so much older than her. Have you ever thought about what will happen to A-mei in the future? Have you ever considered A-mei?
How do you feel? Have you ever considered how I feel? Ah?!" Chen Qiang roared in a low voice.
"Stop talking."
Chen Weiguo subconsciously turned his head and looked at Uncle Li who was walking in front. He found that Uncle Li didn't seem to hear their conversation and quickly turned his head to look at Chen Qiang and scolded him.
"Why don't you let me tell you? I just don't understand. We have already made so much money and can leave this hellish place. Why are we still here?
So what if the police come? Have we not paid enough to the police and officials over the years? Why not let them settle the matter? Isn’t there any other way we can do except giving my sister to the police?
?" Chen Qiang still asked reluctantly.
"you......."
"Cough cough cough..."
Just as Chen Weiguo was about to say something, he heard Uncle Li coughing. Chen Weiguo quickly turned his head and found that Uncle Li had stopped and turned his head to look at them.
In the darkness, Uncle Li's already low figure became even more inconspicuous against the surrounding trees. However, his cloudy eyes were flashing with light at this moment, like a beast about to wake up.
, exuding a dangerous atmosphere.
"Crack."
When Chen Weiguo saw this scene, he was shocked. He turned his head, waved his right hand, and slapped Chen Qiang on the face, making a crisp sound.
With this slap, Chen Weiguo exerted enough force that he staggered Chen Qiang and spun around in a circle. Blood instantly flowed from the corner of his mouth, and a clear slap mark appeared on his cheek.
"Uncle Li naturally has his reasons for doing this. It's not your turn to point fingers at him like a young brat." Chen Weiguo scolded Chen Qiang after beating him.
After Chen Qiang stabilized his body, he wanted to refute something, but when he saw Chen Weiguo's angry expression and Uncle Li's cold gaze not far away, he finally stopped saying anything and lowered his head silently.
Uncle Li looked at the father and son behind him for a long time, and then said calmly: "Erdan, you have to be clear, who gave you everything that the village has now, your father's village chief is
You should know how it came about. Let alone a woman, as long as you can solve this matter, you can pay no matter how high the price is. Men should take a longer view when doing things. When you reach my age, you will
You will understand why I did what I did today, and when that time comes, you will thank me."
After saying this, Uncle Li didn't say anything, turned around and continued walking forward.
Chen Weiguo looked at Uncle Li's retreating back. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, glared at Chen Qiang fiercely, and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, you don't want to die in confusion like Chen Wang."
Hearing this, Chen Qiang was immediately startled. At this moment, a slightly chilly night wind blew by, and Chen Qiang broke into a cold sweat, making him feel cold all over. He didn't say anything more, and silently followed Chen Weiguo forward.
go.
Among Chen Qiumin, Chen Wang and Chen Qiang, the one who has the closest relationship with Uncle Li is not Chen Zhen or Chen Qiang, but Chen Wang. In terms of seniority in the village, Chen Wang is Li's closest friend.
Uncle's grandson, of course, is not his biological grandson, but that's it. Some time ago, after the accident, Chen Wang still died, and Uncle Li also went to the city, but he didn't do anything to Chen Zhen and the others.
An old man who can abandon his relatives when necessary, what can't he abandon? Not to mention Chen Qiang, even his father Chen Weiguo will probably be abandoned if necessary. Thinking of this, Chen Qiang becomes more and more angry.
I felt a chill rush from the soles of my feet to my forehead.
People are afraid of death, and no one wants to die. In the face of life and death, many things that seemed important before have become less important.
————
In the next half hour, Chen Qiang didn't say another word, which made Chen Weiguo feel relieved.
The three people finally arrived at their destination.
This is not the back mountain of the village, but the foot of the mountain between the back mountain of the village and another mountain. Here, instead of dense trees, there is an open land. Here, you can see some houses made of trees and thatch.
, and next to the house, there are many very high fences. The fences are composed of bowl-sized trees. The top of the fence is also covered with dense wires. Inside the fence, it is divided into many small fences.
You can see many animals in these fences, and these wild protected animals that should not appear here are all here.
Perhaps sensing that someone was approaching, the animals in the enclosure began to become restless and let out bursts of wails. However, after these wails were heard, they disappeared without spreading far.
After Uncle Li and the others arrived, a dozen villagers walked out of the house, all holding sharp machetes in their hands, as if they would take action if they disagreed with each other.
After seeing the visitor, Uncle Li, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Li."
"uncle."
"..."
Voices of greetings kept coming and going.
Uncle Li just nodded lightly, then looked at the leading man and asked, "Where are the police?"
"Oh, as you ordered, they are all locked up in the cave."
"Are they awake?"
"Two of them woke up, but they were knocked unconscious by us again."
Hearing this, Uncle Li nodded, without asking anything, but walked towards the entrance of an ordinary-looking cave, followed closely by the people behind him.
The entrance of the cave looks very small from the outside. When you go in, you need to bend down. However, after walking in for a while, the cave suddenly opens up and the space becomes larger and larger. There are many torches stuck on the mountain wall of the cave.
The entire cave was illuminated by light.
Uncle Li didn't look at the surroundings and walked straight into the cave. Finally, he came to the cave
In the deepest part, he stopped.
In front of Uncle Li, there is a wide area about the size of a basketball court, and in the middle there is a cage made of wood. The dozen or so police officers are locked inside at this time, and their police uniforms are all covered with
After taking it off, only the shirt on the upper body and the police pants on the lower body were left. They slumped on the ground, closing their eyes tightly, and seemed to be asleep.
Uncle Li watched for a while, walked over, and walked around the cage again. After finding nothing unusual, he walked back and asked the people around him: "Where are their police guns?"
"Oh, they were all found, over there."
As the man spoke, he pointed to a place not far away. Uncle Li looked in the direction of the man's finger. Sure enough, there were about a dozen pistols, magazines and batons placed on the table over there. Of course, there were also
There are shiny handcuffs.
"Uncle Li, what should I do with these things?" the man in the lead asked.
Uncle Li thought for a moment and said, "Don't touch these things for now, I still have some use for them."
"Ah? Oh, okay then."
Hearing what Uncle Li said, the leading man said a little disappointed.
Uncle Li turned his head, looked at the man, and said in a stern tone: "The matter has reached this point, don't give me any trouble. If you let me know that you are doing some small tricks behind my back, you will know the result."
"Understood."
Hearing what Uncle Li said, everyone present shivered subconsciously. Obviously, Uncle Li's words had a great deterrent effect on them.
After a moment of silence, the leading man asked: "Uncle Li, what should we do next? Do we have to keep these policemen locked up?"
Uncle Li turned his head, looked at the policemen in the cage, smiled, and nodded.
"But, Uncle Li, if so many police officers disappeared at the same time, and they disappeared in our village, they would definitely arouse the suspicion of the police. If we do this, will we..."
"What are you worried about? As long as we deal with the policeman named Xu Lang, the disappearance of these policemen will not be a problem." Uncle Li said calmly.
"But......"
"It's nothing to worry about. I have my own way. What you have to do now is to keep an eye on these policemen and don't let them come out."
"Okay, I understand."
Uncle Li nodded without saying anything. He glanced at the policemen who were still unconscious, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave, and the others also left.
After this group of people left, there was one person in the cage who had his eyes tightly closed and there was no movement at all. He opened his eyes first.
His eyes opened slightly, revealing a gap. When he saw that there was no one outside, he dared to open his eyes completely. He squirmed slightly, touched the people next to him, and said, "They are gone."
The first person to wake up was none other than Lai Pi, and the person he woke up was none other than Captain Fang, the leader of the Criminal Investigation Team.
Hearing Lai Pi's voice, Captain Fang also opened his eyes. After looking around for a week, he found that there was no one around, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should we do now? We have to find a way out of here." Captain Fang said.
Lai Pi shook his head and said, "We don't even know where we are now, how can we leave?"
"What should we do?"
Lai Pi remained silent. Obviously, he had no good solution now.
"By the way, where is Xu Lang?"
Captain Fang looked around and found that everyone from the Criminal Investigation Team was there, but Xu Lang was not seen.
Lai Pi shook his head and said, "Brother Lang is not here, he should still be in the village."
"You mean, we are not in the village now?" Captain Fang asked in surprise.
Lai Pi nodded and said: "I was already awake on the way here, and this place is no longer in the village."
"Why isn't Xu Lang with us? Could it be that he has been killed?" Captain Fang said solemnly.
"Probably not. I just heard what the old man said. Brother Lang is still in the village. They must have done something to Brother Lang. Even..."
Speaking of this, Lai Pi stopped talking.
"Even what?" Captain Fang asked quickly.
"I'm worried that they will take advantage of our safety to threaten Brother Lang to do something bad."
"What if even Xu Lang is subdued by them?" Captain Fang said worriedly.
Lai Pi remained silent. Obviously, he had no good solution now.
"By the way, we have been subdued. The city bureau cannot contact us. They must know that something is wrong with us and they will definitely come to rescue us." Captain Fang thought of something and said quickly.
However, Lai Pi shook his head and said: "The recent series of cases have had a great impact. There has been chaos in the city. They are now busy searching for Chen Zhen and the others. They probably don't have time to worry about us, even if they find out that we are missing.
, I guess we won’t be here soon, we still have to rely on ourselves.”
"Relying on our own? However, we are like this now. It is difficult to move even if we don't talk about it." Captain Fang said helplessly.
"Brother Lang must have known that something happened to us, and he will definitely come to us," Lai Pi said.
