Captain Zhou had been away for two hours. It was almost noon when Captain Zhou came back.
Fortunately, Captain Zhou brought the militia back, so Mrs. Tian and Cheng Dahua breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Dahua's eyes were fixed on the dozen or so people behind Captain Zhou. She counted them carefully, but then she felt something was wrong, so she rushed forward with a single step.
"Captain, why are there only sixteen people!? Didn't you say there were more than twenty people? We spent fifty yuan!" Cheng Dahua's voice was sharp, and his face was full of suspicion.
Captain Zhou's face turned ugly: "Can I still be greedy for your money? There are only twenty-six people in the militia. We cannot leave ten people in the commune. If anything happens to the commune, we have someone to take care of us!"
"Sixteen people, plus the guns they used, and two meals included. If you think it's too expensive, I'll let them go back now."
The more he talked about Captain Zhou, the angrier he became. He didn't want to get involved in this matter in the first place. It was out of the captain's responsibility and conscience that he came forward to take over. If he had known better, he should have followed Aunt Guihua's example and followed the example of the Tian family. Dealing with people is really giving him a headache!
Mrs. Tian was also suspicious at first, but when Captain Zhou said this, she immediately shut her mouth. In order to calm Captain Zhou down, she slapped Cheng Dahua on the back.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Captain Zhou worked so hard to help us run up and down, don't you think it's chilling to say that?" Mrs. Tian scolded Cheng Dahua and smiled flatteringly at Captain Zhou, "Captain, Don’t be as knowledgeable as her! That’s what women are like, long hair but short of knowledge!”
This time, Captain Zhou did not answer.
Xia Yao and Aunt Guihua, behind them, listened to Mrs. Tian's words and snorted softly.
It’s not that women have long hair and short knowledge, it’s the people from their Tian family who are short-sighted!
As the women's director, Aunt Guihua rolled her eyes in anger when she heard Mrs. Tian vigorously promote this concept that was not conducive to women. However, she still controlled herself. If she was entangled with the Tian family now, she would only be entangled by them. It was better to wait until she found Tian Dashan. ! When she finds Tian Dashan, she must give them a good education for a few days!
The militia team was led by Chen Qi this time. He took a puff of cigarette and felt a little sad.
This Tian family is like shit, whoever gets it smells bad, no wonder the captain asked him to come.
Moreover, if sixteen militiamen went up to the mountain to search, they might not be able to find him.
Captain Zhou seemed to be able to see his concerns, handed him a cigarette, and smiled: "Captain Chen, don't worry, our team has also organized manpower, and we will follow you to help when the time comes."
"We have prepared water and dry food."
"Captain Zhou, it's a good thing that there is someone as understanding as you." Chen Qi sighed, "Otherwise, I would have wanted to take my brothers back home."
The militia members have good food, which corresponds to their tedious and tiring tasks. Just carrying a gun takes a lot of time a day! If the Qingshui Brigade were more harsh and didn't give them anything to eat except labor fees, then their trip would be really hard.
"It should! It should!"
Captain Zhou waved his hand quickly.
Chen Qi said something to the brothers behind him, and everyone divided into three teams.
"Captain, how do you think your people will be arranged?"
"There are about thirty young and middle-aged men in our brigade. They are evenly divided into three teams and will go with you." Captain Zhou made the final decision, "You have guns in your hands. It's safer to follow you."
Chen Qi's eyes slid over the thirty or so people who came after hearing the news. An idea flashed in his head and he asked, "I remember that boy from the Lu family has a good sight. Why isn't he here?"
Chen Qi was talking about Lu Jing. In the entire Qingshui Brigade, the only two boys named Lu Jing and Lu Changbai were Lu. Lu Changbai was only seven years old. Once everyone heard it, they knew who the Lu boy Chen Qi was talking about.
"Why did Lu Jing come here? Tian Dashan was from the Lu family who came here with red armbands to copy! If I were Lu Jing, I wish he died in the mountains."
"This is retribution! Maybe Lu Jing's parents have spirits in heaven and took him away!"
Cheng Dahua was already feeling guilty, but when she heard these rustling words, her whole body exploded.
"Don't want Lu Jing! Don't want Lu Jing!" She yelled like crazy, "That landlord kid Lu Jing is evil! Maybe he is the reason why my family, Dashan, can't come back!"
Aunt Guihua had always taken good care of Lu Jing, and with Xia Yao's temper towards her, she was very protective of the Lu family. When she heard Cheng Dahua's shameless words, she shouted angrily at the top of her voice.
"Don't talk nonsense here! Lu Jingan earns his fair share of work points, but who is like your family, who doesn't want to be treated well by his family, but he goes out to commit theft at night!"
The news about Cheng Dahua in Shangyang Brigade has long been spread.
When everyone heard this, they suddenly discovered that Tian Dashan seemed to have disappeared after this incident.
"Oh! Didn't I say that there were two thieves who went to Shangyang Brigade? But there was one person who ran fast and only caught Cheng Dahua! Couldn't that person be Tian Dashan?"
"Who else is it if it's not Tian Dashan? Who would run to the back mountain at night? Is it too long to live?"
The surroundings were noisy. Chen Qi nodded while holding his chin while listening to everyone's speculations.
Seeing that things deviated from the direction he expected and never returned, Cheng Dahua panicked.
"Don't talk nonsense! Our Dashan just came to find me!"
Tian Dashan's position as captain of the third production team has brought a lot of convenience to their family. If this matter is really confirmed, how can their family live a leisurely life? The double grab is coming soon!
Cheng Dahua was extremely regretful, and Mrs. Tian was also anxious. She saw that everyone was paying attention to whether the thieves that night were Cheng Dahua and Tian Dashan, and they were all anxious.
In desperation, she covered her chest, and then fell straight to the ground - pretending to be faint.
"Old Mrs. Tian fainted."
"Get out of the way quickly!"
Captain Zhou couldn't care about anything else in the noisy environment, so he wanted to have Mrs. Tian taken away.
At this moment, Xia Yao rushed out.
"Captain, leave Aunt Tian to me!" Xia Yao looked upright, "I will definitely rescue Aunt Tian!"
Mrs. Tian's heart beat violently as she fell to the ground. How could it be that this dead girl Xia Yao!
Did this damn girl see something?
Just when she was wavering, Xia Yao said again: "Aunt Tian was so angry that she fainted. This is what I am best at! Captain, you can go up the mountain in peace."
Aunt Guihua also said at this time: "Yes, captain, you go up the mountain first, Tian Dashan can't afford to delay."
With Aunt Guihua coming forward, Captain Zhou felt relieved. He nodded and said, "Okay, if you can't control it, send it to the health station."
"Don't worry!" Xia Yao responded angrily, "I will definitely make Aunt Tian jump around!"
"Xia Zhiqing has two brushes. Wasn't it the help of Xia Zhiqing to save a child in the past?"
"Yes! Then captain, you can rest assured."
"Actually, there's no need to worry. The harm will last for thousands of years, and Mrs. Tian won't die that easily."
Captain Zhou's mouth twitched after hearing these words, but he still led the people up the mountain.
As soon as they left, it became quieter under the big locust tree.
Only Cheng Dahua stared at Xia Yao warily, while the others looked at Xia Yao excitedly.
"Xia Zhiqing, how do you want to treat it?"
"It's very simple." Xia Yao raised his chin, "You all get out of the way, I'll give you first aid!"
As early as the beginning, she could tell that Mrs. Tian was pretending to be faint.
And the reason why she was willing to come forward was because she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get revenge!
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared in Xia Yao's beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Cheng Dahua kept staring at Xia Yao, and when she saw Xia Yao smiling, the alarm bells in her heart rang loudly.
Oops!
Before she could react, Xia Yao rushed to Mrs. Tian in one stride.
I saw Xia Yao rolled up his sleeves and pressed hard on the tiger's mouth of Mrs. Tian's right hand.
Mrs. Tian snorted, but still didn't wake up.
"It seems like we need to change places." Xia Yaoyi frowned.
Under everyone's gaze, Xia Yao firmly held down Mrs. Tian's hand.
Everyone gasped, this looked really painful!
It does hurt!
Mrs. Tian couldn't pretend anymore. She yelled and waved her hand to slap Xia Yao.
Xia Yao moved faster than her and grabbed her hand early: "Aunt Tian, seeing how angry you are, I feel relieved."
"you……"
"Thank you Xia Zhiqing!"
Cheng Dahua quickly stepped forward and interrupted Mrs. Tian's words.
If the irrational Mrs. Tian is allowed to dismantle herself, then the Tian family will really become a laughing stock!
Mrs. Tian was half persuaded and half dragged away by Cheng Dahua. Xia Yao looked at the two people leaving with regret and muttered: "I haven't used all my strength yet!"
Everyone shuddered when they thought of Mrs. Tian's black and green eyes and people just now.
Haven't you used all your strength yet?
In the corner, Lu Jing, who originally wanted to lend a helping hand, stopped in place. He stared at the bright smile on Xia Yao's face, and there was a tenderness in his eyes that he didn't even notice.
…
Deep in the mountains.
Tian Dashan hugged the tree trunk, feeling dizzy with hunger.
The wild boar was gone, but he didn't dare to go down anyway.
Now he is so hungry that his eyes are filled with stars. If he goes down, he may not be able to climb back up!
After thinking of this, he felt like crying and wanted to call for help, but he didn't dare to expend any more energy.
When will this day end?
Tian Dashan was about to cry but had no tears. Looking at the increasingly hot sunlight above his head, his vision went dark.
At this moment, there were sounds of footsteps.
He shuddered all over, but when he lowered his head and took a closer look, he saw several people carrying guns.
"Help!"
"Help!"
Chen Qi and Captain Zhou led the people to rest halfway. Just as they were about to take a drink of water, they heard a cry.
"It seems to be Tian Dashan's voice!"
Everyone was excited and quickly looked around.
But it was surrounded by dense bushes and no one could be seen.
Tian Dashan was shocked and frightened. While shouting for help, he began to tremble unconsciously.
Then, everyone saw drops of liquid falling from the top.
"It's Tian Dashan! He's in the tree!"
"Ouch! He was so scared that he peed!"
