After the hero was scared away

The road from Xiaoaizhuang to Dalizhuang is not as smooth as that from Xiaoaizhuang to Heihe Town.There are nine turns and eighteen turns along the way. The road is not good. In the rainy season, the mountains on the side of the road are often in danger of collapsing.

This is also the reason why the people in Xiaoai Village live better than those in Dali Village in the deep mountains.Because Xiaoai Village is the closest to Heihe Town, and there are no particularly high or collapsing mountains on both sides of the road, and Lu Ziyan has invested here in the past few years, and life is better.

What makes people wonder is, who would go to the inconvenient Dali Village to develop the cemetery?

The car made seven turns and eight turns, and it took nearly an hour to drive to the village entrance of Dali Village.This is Lu Ziyan's first visit to Dali Village. To be honest, the scenery of Dali Village is indeed better than that of Xiaoai Village. After all, it is located in the deep mountains, full of forests, gurgling streams, singing birds and fragrant flowers, but now he is not in the mood Appreciate these, and Xiao Chen and Ai Bao who came with him have long been used to seeing all this, and the scenery of Xiaoaizhuang is not bad, so they don't feel too much.

Lu Ziyan turned the car around as Xiao Chen said and parked it. Xiao Chen asked Ai Bao to stay and watch the car, and then he and Lu Ziyan went to the village.

As soon as the two entered the village, they saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy looking at them, but he quickly realized that he turned around and wanted to run, but was caught by Xiao Chen, who had quick eyes and quick hands.The boy wanted to break free but couldn't, so he glared at Xiao Chen.

"I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer well, I'll give you this!" Xiao Chen said as he took out a red ticket and put it in front of the boy.

"You coax the child, and you still want to bribe me just for this!" The boy looked at the red note in front of him, although he wanted it, he still pretended to be disdainful.

"If your answer is exactly what we want, then these are all for you!" Lu Ziyan at the side took out a handful of hundred yuan bills from his wallet, and put them all in Xiao Chen's hand holding the money.

It was the first time for the young man to see so much money, and he stared straight at Xiao Chen's hand holding the money, swallowed unconsciously, and then stuttered and asked:

"What do you want to know?"

"We want to know why you saw us running?" Xiao Chen asked.

"I, I have a urgency to pee!"

"It seems that you don't want these things, then you go!" Seeing that he was not telling the truth, Xiao Chen deliberately let go of his hand and let him go.

The boy didn't expect Xiao Chen to let him go so easily, but he didn't want to leave. He looked around and saw no one around, and then asked Xiao Chen to talk to him outside the village.

Xiao Chen and Lu Ziyan looked at each other, then followed the boy back.When they got outside the village, the boy led them into the nearby forest, and then whispered to them:

"I know you are from Xiaoaizhuang, and I can guess what you are here for, but I won't tell you about our village's big money, but I can tell you, your village chief's information.

"Where is he?" Lu Ziyan heard the young man's words, grabbed his collar, and his eyes were a little red.

"Third brother, don't worry, let him finish!" Seeing that the young man was almost strangled to death by Lu Ziyan, Xiao Chen hurried to hold his hand.

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Lu Ziyan let go of his hand, but his eyes were still fixed on the boy.

The young man was a little frightened by Lu Ziyan's appearance, he subconsciously moved to Xiao Chen's side, and then he stammered and said:

"Your Village Chief Xia came to look for our Village Chief Li yesterday, and just happened to meet an acquaintance who was a guest at Village Chief Li's house, and then he left with that acquaintance!"

"Who is that person walking with him, man or woman, what's his name, and where does he live?" Lu Ziyan suddenly changed his expression after hearing the young man's words, and asked nervously.

"I don't know that person, only the village chief knows him!" The boy shook his head and said, it didn't look like he was lying.

"Then do you know what that person looks like?" Lu Ziyan asked.

The young man looked at Lu Ziyan, and said, "The man is about the same height as you, and his accent is very similar to yours. He is about the same age as your village chief. Judging by the way your village chief talks to him, they should have known each other before." !"

"Xiang Hong!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Lu Ziyan's face became even more ugly, and Xiang Hong's face flashed in his mind. He took out his phone and dialed a number. The phone was turned off.

In the end, Lu Ziyan called the vice president of his company and asked him to find out Xiang Hong's whereabouts as quickly as possible.

"Can I go?" Seeing Lu Ziyan's attitude on the phone, the boy thought of that person yesterday, who looked like he was going to eat Village Chief Xia. The boy felt that they were the same kind of people, and they were not easy to provoke I don't want money anymore, I just want to leave quickly.

"I'll let you go when we hear from our village chief, otherwise we'll have to take you into the village to confront your village chief!" Xiao Chen said to the boy while comforting Lu Ziyan who was about to lose his mind.

As soon as the boy heard that he was going to take him to see Village Chief Li, he didn't dare to mention the matter of leaving again, so he could only stay as far away from Lu Ziyan as possible.

Half an hour later, the vice president called Lu Ziyan back. Xiang Hong drove away from Beijing a month ago, and according to the traffic information he found, he went to Heihe Town.

"A month ago, wasn't that the time when I came from Beijing? Could it be that he followed me all the way!" Lu Ziyan became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, and he didn't know why he was followed by Xiang Hong.

As for why Xiang Hong appeared in Dalizhuang, could it be that the boss behind the development of the cemetery in Dalizhuang should be Xiang Hong, but it is not quite right. Lu Ziyan's mind was a little messed up by the news.

"Third brother!" Seeing that Lu Ziyan had been silent after answering the phone, Xiao Chen called him worried.

Although Xiao Chen still doesn't understand why Lu Ziyan is so concerned about Xia Sen's affairs, he seems to understand a little bit after hearing the name Xiang Hong. Xia Sen may have mentioned it in the bar that day. A person, and this person is also inextricably related to Lu Ziyan.

"Let's go to the village chief's house. I want to know where Xiang Hong took him!" Lu Ziyan came back to his senses, and suddenly said to Xiao Chen.

"it is good!"

Although Xiao Chen had a lot of questions, he never asked. He nodded, then divided half of the money in his hand into the young man's hand and said:

"I'll give you half of these first, now tell us how to get to the village chief's house, and we'll give you the other half after we're sure what you said is true!"

The young man hesitated after receiving the money, he didn't dare to take the person there, otherwise he would still want to live in this village.Xiao Chen probably knew what he was worried about, and he didn't make things difficult for him, but just asked him to tell them the location of the village head's house, and he and Lu Ziyan went to the village head's house.

The village head's house is located in the middle of the village. When they arrived, there were already many people gathered at the gate of the village head's house, including men, women and children.When these people saw Xiao Chen and Lu Ziyan, they all showed hostility and guard.

Xiao Chen and Lu Ziyan didn't understand where their hostility came from. Even when Xiao Chen was a gangster, he never went to Da Li Village to play wild, because it was too poor and backward here, and these were only for fighting games. People who are interested in Internet cafes in the hall, how could they run here.

And Lu Ziyan was here for the first time, so it was impossible for him to have any old grudges with the villagers here.

Just when the two were puzzled, the head of Dali Village came out from the crowd. He was a short man in his 50s, with a typical dark and honest face of mountain people, but his eyes were full of tears. With imperceptible shrewdness, he walked up to Xiao Chen and the others and stood still without speaking, looking at the two with a calm expression, as if waiting for Xiao Chen and the others to speak again.

"You are Village Chief Li?" Seeing that the man in front of him didn't speak, and he couldn't be so stiff, Xiao Chen opened his mouth to break the silence.

Village head Li nodded, but still didn't speak!

"Yesterday, our village chief came to Dali Village to look for you, and he hasn't returned until now. I wonder if he is still a guest at your house?"

Xiao Chen looked at him pretending to be profound, rolled his eyes in his heart, and continued to ask patiently.

"Your village chief did come here yesterday, but he left yesterday evening. He may have other business and went to other places. He didn't rush back to the village for a while, why don't you go look for it in other places!" Village chief Li listened to Xiao. Chen's words finally opened the golden mouth.

"I want to know where the person who left with him yesterday lives now?"

Lu Ziyan didn't know whether that lunatic Xiang Hong would do the same thing to Xia Sen many years ago again, so he didn't have time to circle around with Village Chief Li and get straight to the point.

Village head Li's face changed slightly after hearing Lu Ziyan's words, but he calmed down quickly and said:

"I don't know who the person you mentioned is. He was the only one when your village chief left my house. As for who he met after he went out, I don't know!"

"You don't have to tell the truth, but I can guarantee that the project in your village will not continue!"

Lu Ziyan looked at the hilltop under construction not far from the village chief's house, and said in a positive tone.

"Who are you, when will it be your turn to have the final say on our village's affairs!" A middle-aged woman standing next to Village Chief Li said disdainfully.

"Village Chief Li, do you think so too?" Lu Ziyan continued to ask Village Chief Li without even looking at the old lady.

The woman still wanted to talk, but this time she was glared at by Village Chief Li, so she shut up.

"I don't need to lie to you, your village chief did leave yesterday evening!" Village chief Li replied calmly.

"I just want to know where did the people with him take him?" Lu Ziyan was about to lose patience, and his tone was a little impatient.

Village head Li still wanted to say that he didn't know, but he heard Xiao Chen on the side say:

"Mr. Li, they all live in the same mountain. Don't overdo things. You don't have to say it, but seeing your such a large project, you must transport a lot of materials in. You said that the mountain is high and the road is dangerous. You If something happens to the materials on the road, isn’t it quite normal!”

"Go and look inside, I'm sorry I can't say more, otherwise the project in our village will be ruined!"

After all, Village Chief Li is from the mountains and understands the rules of the mountains. He knows that Xiao Chen is not trying to scare him, but he can't offend the friends of the benefactor, so he can only point out a general direction for Xiao Chen and the others. If you find it, it's none of his business.

"You said they went into the mountains?"

Xiao Chen couldn't believe it, because if he went further into Dali Village, he had already entered the deep mountains, and there were no other houses or villages in it except the forest guard house.Even if there are, at most they are old mountain people with eccentric tempers who don't want to live in other villages, living alone or with a few families in seclusion in deep mountains and old forests.

It's just that these people may not even be able to find their place for local people, let alone Xiang Hong, a foreigner, what is he doing with Xia Sen in the mountains?

"I don't know the details, but I just saw that they went towards the mountains yesterday."

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, when we come back from the mountains, you should know the consequences!"

Xiao Chen left the village head's house with Lu Ziyan in a hurry, and when they arrived at the entrance of the village, Xiao Li had already arrived with the villagers. They followed Xiao Chen's instructions and sat in the car without getting out of the car. Chao Zi was also among them. As for Fan Zhe and Liu Yuan, the construction site is inseparable from people, so Xiao Li didn't disturb them.

Xiao Chen asked Xiao Li and Chaozi to drive back to prepare equipment and food for entering the mountain, while he, Lu Ziyan and others went into the mountain first to find someone.It's just that Chaozi refused, he wanted to follow Xiao Chen into the mountains,

At this time, Lu Ziyan had already led the villagers into the entrance to the deep mountain. Xiao Chen had no time to talk to Chao Zi, so he nodded and agreed to let Chao Zi follow, and then let Xiao Li and Ai Bao go back to prepare things together, and then Hurriedly chasing after Lu Ziyan, Chao Zi could only run after seeing this.

Many people in their group are familiar with the deep mountains, so someone suggested to go to the forest ranger house to see first. Xiao Chen is not familiar with the deep mountains, and Lu Ziyan has never been here, so he followed their advice and started from the forest. The ranger house began to search.In addition, Xiao Chen also asked people to leave marks along the way, so that Xiao Li and Ai Bao could find them when they came.
