Siheyuan: Damao carried me back from under the bridge

Occasionally, a few unnamed birds fly in the fields.

Walking in the fields, Tan Yingxiong searched all the way.

Finally, a skinny boy with dark skin and sallow hair was found on a hilltop.

The young man squatted in the grass on the hilltop to look for wild vegetables.

He also held a small handful of wild vegetables in his hand.

Tan Yingxiong shouted to the boy with the mentality of giving it a try: "Wang Xiangnan..."

The boy turned around immediately when he heard the shout.

Realizing that the person calling him was a stranger, the young man was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "Are you calling me?"

Although the young man looked frail, his voice was particularly strong.

It was really him. Tan Yingxiong smiled happily. It was much better to find him here than at home.

There's no one around here, so it's a good chance to check out their identity.

"I called you. I came from the capital to be responsible for drawing. Now I'm staying at your cousin's house. I just heard some old women talking about you in the village. I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence. ." Tan Yingxiong got straight to the point and didn't hide anything.

"What did they say about me?" Wang Xiangnan frowned slightly, thinking that a talkative woman was saying bad things about him.

Seeing Wang Xiangnan's face getting worse and worse, Tan Yingxiong quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying bad things about you, I'm just complaining about you, saying that your grandma is too mean, and actually drove you to live in the woodshed."

"Oh!" Hearing that this was what the women were talking about, Wang Xiangnan just responded and stopped talking. He lowered his head and continued to look for wild vegetables.

He doesn't have time to chat with others. These wild vegetables are his dinner and breakfast tomorrow morning.

Now at home, he is only given a bowl of watery food at noon, and he has to rely on himself in the morning and evening.

There are many people digging for wild vegetables on the mountainside, but there are not many that can be found now, so you have to look for them slowly.

Wang Xiangnan squatted down, his back to Tan Yingxiong now.

There is indeed a black mole the size of a mung bean on the back of my neck, and now I still need to make sure there is no scar on my left shoulder.

It’s summer and I wear short sleeves, so it’s not particularly difficult to look at them.

"I heard that there is a scar on your left shoulder. Is it from a fall?" Tan Yingxiong asked pretending to be indifferent and curious.

"I've had it since I was very young. I don't know how it came about." Wang Xiangnan replied without looking back.

There were real scars, and at this moment Tan Yingxiong really began to feel ecstatic.

At this point, this credit has been stabilized.

"Can you show me the scar on your shoulder?" Tan Yingxiong asked tentatively.

Wang Xiangnan stopped what he was doing and looked at Tan Yingxiong with great dissatisfaction: "What do you want to do? I'm still busy digging wild vegetables. If I want to chat, you go find someone else."

Regarding Wang Xiangnan's dissatisfaction, Tan Yingxiong smiled slightly, and then took out two sesame seed cakes from his bag, which he bought from the station yesterday.

"Please eat sesame cakes."

"I won't eat if I don't get rewarded for my merits." Although Wang Xiangnan said he wouldn't eat, his throat squirmed several times, and he was very eager for two pieces of sesame cakes.

"I'm not giving it to you for free. I came to your village to draw a map. I need a guide now. Can you help me lead the way? This biscuit is my reward for you." Tan Yingxiong directly stuffed two biscuits into Wang Xiangnan's head. in hand.

"Lead the way?" Wang Xiangnan stood up, and this time he accepted the biscuits from Tan Yingxiong.

"Yes! Lead the way. You dig wild vegetables outside every day, so you should be familiar with the village, right? I just need someone who is familiar with the village to be my guide." Tan Yingxiong said very seriously.

"I'm quite familiar with the village, but I have to work every day and don't have time to guide you. I..." Wang Xiangnan looked at the sesame seeds in his hand, obviously eager to take over the job of leading the way.

"Don't worry! I'm sent by the government. I'll go to the commune tomorrow to tell you that if you follow me, you can get work points. In addition to the work points, I will give you three more sesame seeds every day. Do you want to do it?"

"Do it, do it..." Wang Xiangnan quickly stood up.

No fool would refuse to do such a good job!

"Can you show me the scar on your shoulder now?"

"Can, can, can..." Wang Xiangnan rolled up his short sleeves as he spoke.

There is no need to take off your clothes at all, just lift up your short sleeves a little and you can see the scars.

Looking at the shape of the scar, Tan Yingxiong finally confirmed that Wang Xiangnan in front of him was the 'Yang Jiu' the leader was looking for.

"I had this scar when I was a child. I don't know how it came about, but I still remember my previous name: Xiaojiu." Wang Xiangnan showed Tan Yingxiong his shoulder and told him what he had vaguely remembered. name.

"Xiao Jiu..." Now Tan Yingxiong was [-]% sure that he was Yang Jiu.

I have to go to the city police station and make a call tomorrow.

Nowadays, if you want to make long-distance calls, you can only go to government departments, and the police station is the best choice.

Before coming, he made a lot of preparations, including a letter of introduction from the police station.

The main reason is that he is afraid that his search for someone will be discovered, and then the villagers will mess with him.

But now it seems that there should be no such trouble.

It is estimated that no one can stop him from taking Wang Xiangnan away now.

It's just that now, it's not time for Tan Yingxiong to leave.

Although it was just an excuse to draw a map, it was also a real task.

The village is not big and can be painted in two days.

When he told the village chief that it would take a long time to paint, it was because he was not sure how long he would stay in the village, so he used the excuse that it would take a long time.

Tan Yingru originally thought of going back with Wang Xiangnan now.

But Wang Xiangnan rejected him.

He still has to dig some wild vegetables.

Even if you don't eat these wild vegetables, you can dry them in the sun. When you can't find wild vegetables in winter, you can eat these dried wild vegetables by soaking them in water and boiling them.

I ignored Wang Xiangnan who was still digging wild vegetables.

He had no intention of telling Wang Xiangnan the truth now.

After working in the sub-district office for so many years, I have copied countless documents, large and small.

Many of those documents record the major and minor events that occurred that year.

Those documents record too many distortions of human nature.

Tan Yingxiong believed that as long as he told the truth, the Wang family would definitely plot against Wang Xiangnan.

This is not a good thing for Wang Xiangnan.

The best solution now is to secretly go to the police station tomorrow to send the news back, and wait for the big leader to come and verify it in person.

What he has to do is to record the information he has discovered in the past few days and make it into documents. When the big boss comes, he can hand over these documents.

The contents of the document are not difficult to investigate, including the treatment Wang Xiangnan received here and some of his past.

You can know all these things by going to the shade of the trees tomorrow and chatting with those aunts.

In the evening, return to Village Chief Wang’s house.

I don’t know what the village chief’s wife said to Village Chief Wang, but she still greeted Tan Yingxiong with a smile when he returned.
