Zhang Jiaqiang finally gave up the idea of taking his eldest cousin back.
He decided to comply with his eldest cousin's wishes.
This high mountain is his destination.
You cannot impose your will on the other person because of the debt in your heart.
Nor can we use moral kidnapping to force him to make an unwilling decision.
However, Zhang Jiaqiang plans to let his grandma and uncle and the others live a good life even if they don't leave the mountain.
The two cousins did not go to the woods to catch the dog. Zhang Jiaqiang asked his cousin to lead him up the highest mountain nearby.
After reaching the top of the mountain, he took out his mobile phone and started spinning around like a round dance.
"Jiaqiang, are you asking for rain?"
Xiao Zhen sat on a rock with a piece of foxtail in his mouth, looking at his movements with a puzzled face.
"I'm looking for a signal!"
Due to the lack of base stations these days, the signal is extremely poor, especially in the mountains where there are basically signal blind spots.
However, sometimes there is a signal on the top of a mountain or in an open area.
Zhang Jiaqiang wanted to contact the outside world, so he could only do this.
Xiao Zhen said, "Xin Hao? There is no such person in our village!"
Didi didi!
Suddenly there was a sound from Zhang Jiaqiang's waist.
He hurriedly took out his pager and found a series of messages on it.
There's a signal!
Looking at the mobile phone again, there is only one bar of signal, and it looks like it will be cut off at any time.
Zhang Jiaqiang hurriedly dialed Xie Xuezhi's number.
"Hey, Lao Xie, do you have anything to do with Longcheng?"
"Dragon City in our province, yes, yes, the commander-in-chief and I are waiting there. Hey, hey... where are you? The signal is so bad!"
"I'm in Wangjiacun, in the mountains. Hey, hey, Lao Xie, please do me a favor and call your buddy. Hey, hey, there's no signal!"
The signal completely disappeared. Zhang Jiaqiang jumped around and changed several places, but still couldn't receive the signal.
"Hey, I don't know if Lao Xie heard it, but I really can't go out to the village tomorrow to fight one!"
There is a telephone in the village, but in the village headquarters, the village chief will definitely not let him use it.
Zhang Jiaqiang greeted his cousin and prepared to go back.
But he saw Xiao Zhen waving his hand towards him and then suddenly jumped out.
"Hare, Jia Qiang, go to the left and block it, hurry up!"
...
Xie Xuezhi was sitting in his living room, holding his cell phone for a while, but there was still no response. He hurriedly called back, but there was a prompt tone - the number you dialed is not in the service area!
"What are you doing, you're making my ears hurt!"
Old man Xie scolded him as soon as he opened the door. Recently, he found his son particularly unpleasant and scolded and scolded him at every turn.
Xie Xuezhi knew it was because of the kidnapping. He knew he was wronged and didn't even dare to talk back. He bowed his head and confessed at home every day.
"Dad, it's Jia Qiang calling!"
"Oh, what did he say?" The old man had a smile on his face.
"He seemed to be in trouble. He asked me if there was anything to do with Dragon City. As he was talking, the line was disconnected, and the call back was no longer in the service area. I was wondering if he was in danger?"
Lao Xie's expression changed and he asked anxiously, "Did he say the specific place?"
"I just mentioned Wangjia Village in the mountains. I plan to find someone to check it out right away!"
Lao Xie glared and said, "If something happens in the deep mountains and forests, it will be too late for rescue. You should contact them as soon as possible to check. Hurry!"
"Hey, how about I go there myself? It's Saturday anyway!"
"Then why don't you go quickly? What are you doing?"
Xie Xuezhi cursed for a while, am I your biological son?
He didn't dare to neglect, hurriedly packed up his things, called and ran out the door.
Old man Xie watched his son go out, thought for a while, picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
"Hey, Lao Li, I have something to trouble you. Something might have happened to one of my nephews over there. My son rushed over..."
...
The afterglow of the setting sun filled the forest. On the country road, the two cousins walked into the village entrance with a few fat rabbits on their shoulders, and walked towards the door of their house talking and laughing.
Soon someone with sharp eyes noticed that their rabbits had burnt brown blood holes on them, and they were still dripping blood!
This was obviously shot!
After the two brothers left, the man immediately rushed to the village headquarters and knocked on the village chief's door.
"Uncle, I saw Wang Xuemin's son and Xiao Zhen coming back from the back mountain!"
The village chief was thinking hard about how to deal with Zhang Jiaqiang, when he heard this and shouted impatiently.
"What kind of nonsense is this? I don't care where they go? Get out of here if it's okay, get out!"
The man said with a grimace, "I, I haven't finished what I said, they came back with rabbits on their backs!"
The village chief raised his hand and slapped him, "It's not strange to have a rabbit in the mountains. If you keep beeping blindly, I will throw you into the well too!"
The guy covered his cheek and said aggrievedly, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Their rabbit was shot to death with a gun!"
The village chief's expression suddenly changed, he grabbed the guy's shoulders fiercely, and yelled, "Did you read that right?"
"I swear, it's absolutely true. There is blood on the ground. If you don't believe me, go and see it!"
The village chief took out a box of filtered cigarettes from the drawer, took one in his mouth, and threw another one to the guy across from him.
"Erdan, you are my nephew. I will arrange something for you to do in the future and you can earn a little extra pocket money. But today you have to keep an eye on their house and report anything to me immediately!"
After hearing this, Erdan shouted excitedly, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on him even if he doesn't eat or sleep today!"
After Erdan left, the village chief lightly spat at his back and cursed in a low voice, "You're a waste!"
He picked up the phone on the table, thought for a moment and dialed.
"Director Liu, haha, how are you using the herbs you sent last time? If they are not enough, I will ask someone to dig some more. This will happen..."
After the village chief finished explaining the situation, a middle-aged man's rough voice came over the phone.
"What, you're giving me a watch, you're also paying 20,000 yuan to buy a water pump, and you're driving a three-year-old car? Old Wang, don't be fooled. Do you know how much that kind of car costs? It's hundreds of thousands!"
"Am I wrong? I think this guy must have a lot of money and goodies in his car. How about we cooperate again?"
"Okay, I want that car, and the rest is yours!"
...
Before it gets completely dark, the village becomes lively again.
Two cars drove into the village one after the other, immediately attracting countless people to watch.
"What's the matter? I haven't had a car all year round, and now there's one after another!"
"Isn't that Xuemin's car? The one behind it is a truck. What is it pulling?"
"It's a water pump. It's a water pump. Our village is saved. Guys, go help unload the truck!"
"Come on, help unload the truck!"
The whole village was in a commotion again. Everyone was calling for friends. In a moment, a large group of people surrounded the truck that had just stopped. The driver was so frightened that he did not dare to move at all.
As soon as the Mercedes-Benz business door opened, the first thing to jump out was Xiao Liang, who was covered in brand new clothes.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, you guys who haven't seen the world, why are you joining in the fun!"
Tie Zhu jumped out of the car, pulled the beam apart, and shouted, "Folks, our water pump has arrived. Please help us to unload it!"
Zhigang got off the car immediately, ran to the truck and shouted, "Don't interfere, I'll get in the car first, and the three people below will pick it up and put it on the ground first!"
A Taiwanese-blue water pump was unloaded from the car and placed neatly in the open space next to the well.
Zhigang and Tiezhu brought a large piece of canvas to cover the water pump, and then selected seven or eight people from the crowd and asked them to take turns looking at the machine.
After seeing off the truck, Zhang Jiaqiang and his cousin Xiaozhen also rushed over after hearing the news.
Zhang Jiaqiang glanced at it and asked, "There are more than ten units here, right?"
Tie Zhu said, "It was Zhigang's idea. He said there was no need to buy the best, so he picked out the bargains and bought a few more units so that the rotation would go faster. Anyway, it doesn't exceed 20,000 yuan!"
At this time, Er Jinzi's voice suddenly sounded.
"Oh, I really bought it. These are all ours, Xiaoliang. From now on, you will be in charge of these machines and don't let anyone mess with them!"
Zhang Jiaqiang ignored her, called Zhigang and Xiaozhen, and shouted to the villagers loudly.
"Everyone, listen up. These machines belong to all the villagers. From now on, the two of them will be responsible for managing them. Any damage or theft will be against the interests of the whole village. You must supervise them!"
The crowd immediately burst into cheers.
The face of Er Jinzi next to her became more and more ugly, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, and she said to herself, "I didn't want to do anything wrong when I looked at my relatives, but Zhang, you asked for this!"
"It's the end of the month. If you have tickets, they don't have to expire. Those of you who have tickets, come and throw them in!"
