Chapter 248: No one was waiting for the hostage
But unfortunately, when their family took Ran Cui and went to the town to find Xu Risheng, the courtyard of his home was empty.
They did not give up and went to the police station to look for someone.
As a result, no one at the police station treated their family well and they simply said they didn’t know.
If you ask a few more questions, you will be yelled at.
It is said that the people should not fight against the officials. The Ran family was certainly afraid of the officials. After being yelled at a few times, they had no choice but to leave in shame.
The town is not big, and almost half of the people know each other.
When they saw Ran Cui, they didn't greet her enthusiastically. Instead, they rolled their eyes, snorted coldly, turned around and said "slut" and walked away.
Ran Cui felt aggrieved. She clearly did nothing. She just fantasized about someone else's man. Why did everyone treat her like that?
She felt that she had no other way out, so she actually thought of going to He Yi and asking him to take her in.
Mayor Tao and his wife were cleaning up the old courtyard where He Yi and his family had previously lived, preparing to rent it out.
Hearing the knock on the door, Mayor Tao's wife Ma Meihong went to open the door with a broom.
When I opened the door, I saw Ran Cui standing outside. I frowned and asked unfriendlyly:
"Who are you looking for?"
Ran Cui bit her lower lip, pinched the corner of her clothes with both hands, and said nervously:
"Sister Meihong, is Captain He here?"
"What do you want to do with Captain He?"
"I...I have something to ask him."
Ma Hongmei is the police officer in charge of household registration at the police station. She knows much more about Xu Dongsheng's family affairs than most people outside.
"Hiss..., if you need help from someone, why don't you ask for help from someone else's wife?
Captain He is a married gay man. Is it appropriate for you, a lesbian, to date him alone?
Or is it that you have nowhere else to climb, and you want to climb up to Captain He?
Bullying someone's wife is because she is blind?
Or are you sure that you have one more pair of eyes than the wife, and she will be seduced by you?"
This courtyard is located on the old street of the farmers' market, where people come and go.
Ma Hongmei spoke loudly, which soon attracted the attention of passers-by.
"me……"
To put it bluntly, Ran Cui is an out-and-out country girl. Ma Meihong hit the nail on the head and tore off her fig leaf. She had no energy to refute at all.
"What are you?
Even if you have sharp eyes, Captain He won't like you.
My wife is only temporarily blind, it’s not like she will never be healed.
Look at how beautiful you guys are, you don't even know where the world is.
Even if he is blind, he is a surgical expert in the Kyoto General Military Region and his head is full of knowledge.
Can't you, a blind man like you, see the contributions they have made to the people?
He is also trying to find ways to destroy the relationship between couples.
Damn, it's so dirty..."
bang...
Ma Meihong said a lot of things and then closed the door.
Over the years, she knew best how much her man cared about the village's grain production.
The people are hardworking but have no food and starve to death. That is due to the incompetence of the officials.
But her mayor Tao has really thought of every possible way. He is only in his forties, but looks like a man in his sixties.
She was really distressed.
If it weren’t for Master Zuo Zixuan and his apprentice, who knows how many people would have starved to death this winter.
She was sincerely grateful to the master and disciple for not only saving her man, but also saving those villagers.
So, how could she bear to see those filthy people destroying Zuo Zixuan's marriage?
She didn't do anything, that's just because she has a high quality.
"Wife, why are you talking to her so much? Just close the door and be done with it."
Mayor Tao said, holding a ceramic basin and standing behind Ma Meihong.
Ma Meihong exhaled deeply, "I just can't stand this kind of people, they are so self-righteous.
Don't you even look at your own weight? You're obviously like a piece of shit, but you still think you're like Xi Shi, and every man would like you."
Ma Meihong was standing in the yard, shouting and cursing so loudly that passers-by far away could hear it, not to mention Ran Cui who was standing at the door and had not left yet.
Tears of grievance welled up in Ran Cui's eyes, and she lowered her head with a pitiful look.
But the pedestrians on the street not only did not show any mercy to the beautiful woman, but instead stepped on her and cursed her.
Ever since the news of Ran Cui running away to find He Yi spread, her reputation as a "slut" was confirmed.
Now, not to mention the rich young men in the city, even the fifty-year-old widower whose wife had died looked down on her.
The Ran family is now in a state of desperation where no one can get help from them.
After going through all these things, Ran Cui lost a lot of weight in just one month.
If no one comes to propose marriage, I have to do the farm work at home.
He worked in the fields under the scorching sun all day and was tanned like old bacon. He looked ten years older than his actual age.
Things have come to this, even the Ran family has given up, but Ran Cui has not given up the idea of climbing up the social ladder.
The main reason was that Zuo Zixuan and his wife had such a huge influence on her that she always felt that she was better than a blind man and would definitely be better than the man a blind man found.
The more I think about it, the less likely it is, so I just keep wasting time.
Zuo Zixuan and his group separated when they arrived at Xiang City.
Xu Risheng went to the district police station to take up his new post, and his family received the keys to a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in the staff quarters on the same day.
The next day, I simply packed up, bought some furniture, and moved in.
He Yi and his team got off the car and went directly to the military guesthouse for safety reasons.
The troops offered to escort them to Xiangzhou, but He Yi refused.
If it was a troop escort, not only would the conspicuousness be too big, it would also be inconvenient for Zuo Zixuan to take things in and out along the way.
Moreover, based on past experience, they did not plan to take a direct train to Xiangzhou, but chose to take a detour and take a bus from other provinces to Xiangzhou.
However, He Yi still asked the army for a small favor and issued letters of introduction for the four of them using fake names and surnames.
He Yi was so careful that even when buying tickets, he asked Xu Qingfeng and Song Yingyan to disguise their appearance and go to buy them.
On the day of departure, the four of them went out fully armed.
Because Zuo Zixuan was pregnant, she didn't dare to use disguise materials, so Xu Qingfeng just put a little makeup on her to change her temperament and make her look more heroic.
The other three people completely changed their original appearance.
This time, the four of them arrived smoothly at Nanyan City next to Xiangzhoutan City.
Although Nanyan City is on the edge of Tan City, it does not belong to Xiangzhou and is richer than Tan City.
The main reason is that the mayor's thinking is not as honest as that of the mayor of Tan City. His thinking is similar to that of the mayor of Ze City. They both like to let the people develop the economy secretly.
Tan City is mainly a gathering place for ethnic minorities. The people there have very rigid ideas and find it difficult to accept new things.
Since liberation, many villages still maintain the ancient way of life.
He Yi and his companions stayed in a guesthouse in Nanyan City for one day, and took a bus directly to Tan City the next day.
After arriving in Tan City, at Zuo Zixuan's request, everyone stayed in the railway guesthouse.
Everyone knew that the Japanese were looking for them in Tan City, and the railway guesthouse must have been under the Japanese's surveillance for a long time. Why did Zuo Zixuan insist on living in the railway guesthouse?
Because the most dangerous place is the safest place?
of course not.
That was because Zuo Zixuan had an agreement with the man who kidnapped her on the train, asking the man to go to Xiangzhou to find her.
Although she is not a saint, she still has to do what she promised to others.
Several people used fake letters of introduction and swaggered into the guesthouse.
After entering the room, Zuo Zixuan and He Yi never went out. Xu Qingfeng and Song Yingyan were the ones who went to buy food.
They stayed in the guesthouse for two days, but neither the Japanese nor the man who held Zuo Zixuan hostage appeared.
Around ten o'clock at night, apart from the occasional sound of a passing train not far away, there is the chirping of katydids under the window corner.
"Master, is it because we wasted too many days that the man thought we stood him up, so he came out?"
Zuo Zixuan shook his head and said, "Since he was threatened by the devils, he must have known that we escaped halfway.
He didn't come, either because he encountered something or he was still hiding in the dark and observing.
Let's wait one more night, and if he doesn't come tonight, we'll leave tomorrow morning."
That night, Zuo Zixuan and He Yi didn't sleep well, and they listened to the noise outside with their ears perked up.
But after waiting for a whole night, they were disappointed because the man never came.
After dawn, Xu Qingfeng came running over.
"Master, how is it? Are you here?"
Zuo Zixuan shook his head with some regret.
“We can’t wait any longer, we must set out for Goge Village today.
If Qin Feng can't cure it, we have to rush to the north as soon as possible."
He Yi looked at Zuo Zixuan's already slightly pregnant belly and frowned.
If you keep procrastinating like this, I'm afraid the child will be born outside.
It wasn't a big deal to be born outside, but due to the bumpy journey, Zuo Zixuan didn't get enough rest and her nutrition wasn't enough.
This is bad for both adults and children.
So they had to end this medical treatment journey as soon as possible. When they arrived at Gege Village, they would get treatment if possible, and leave if not.
We must return to Zedu before the belly is completely swollen so that Zuo Zixuan can rest assured and take care of the baby.
If the disease cannot be cured this time, he will apply for discharge from the army once the child is over the breastfeeding period, and take Zuo Zixuan to seek medical treatment all over the country.
Zuo Zixuan touched her slightly bulging belly after three months of pregnancy and understood He Yi's concerns.
She did not refute He Yi.
What she was thinking was that if the situation in Gege Village could not be cured, she would go back to Zedu directly.
It's already 79, and reform is about to begin. The original owner's parents will be released soon.
In this case, since my health is already not good, why should I go through all the trouble of going north?
It would be better to wait peacefully in Zedu.
Everyone packed up and went to a state-owned restaurant in the city center for breakfast.
I learned from Song Yingyan that there is no direct bus to Gege Village.
It takes seven or eight hours to take a bus from the city to the town, then take a road bus for half an hour, get off halfway, and then walk for another 2-3 hours to reach Gege Village.
When He Yi heard that the car ride would take such a long time, he immediately wanted to turn back to Zedu.
Wouldn't this mean that his wife and children would be killed?
