In the early morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Lin Xiaoman got up. Mother Yang, who had gotten up earlier, was already busy in the kitchen.
After breakfast, Mother Yang stuffed Lin Xiaoman with a rice ball for lunch, and then gave her various warnings: "Be careful on the road," "Hide your money, don't let anyone steal it," "Don't forget what you want to buy."
"...
Carrying a bamboo basket as a backpack, Lin Xiaoman left the house and quickly walked towards the old tree at the entrance of the village.
When Lin Xiaoman arrived just before six o'clock, seven or eight people had already gathered under the leafy old tree at the entrance of the village.
Three women were performing a play, and a group of middle-aged and elderly women were chattering like sparrows holding a general assembly.
Not joining in the fun, Lin Xiaoman stood one meter away from the crowd and waited quietly.
"Tell me, among the eight villages within ten miles around us, which village can be as good as our Lijia Village? Which village's girls are not eager to marry into our Lijia Village? Some people are just stupid.
, I can’t live a good life, but I’m going to ask for trouble!”
The sharp voice was very loud, and it was obviously meant to be heard by others.
And that 'person', Lin Xiaoman, of course heard it.
With one glance, Lin Xiaoman remembered the old woman with a big waist, a round face and the information in her mind.
Mrs. Li Zhang, I don’t know her specific name. She is an overbearing and unreasonable old woman. She is Li Xingwang’s cousin. She was there when Li Xingwang proposed marriage.
After searching the list, it was confirmed that the man and son of the Li Zhang family were about to eat for free. After rolling his eyes in his heart, Lin Xiaoman was too lazy to deal with such a marginal person.
With open guns and hidden sticks, he criticized Lin Xiaoman several times. Seeing Lin Xiaoman's completely unresponsive attitude of "I don't understand, you are not talking about me", Li Zhang felt as if she had been hit on cotton.
I also lost interest, and the topic soon changed.
It's just that almost everyone here is the Li family. Under the leadership of Li Zhang, they secretly isolated her.
No one talked to her, but Lin Xiaoman was happy to be quiet.
Before waiting for five minutes, Zhao Laogen drove the bullock cart over slowly.
For a penny of ride fare, everyone got on the bullock cart.
As if there were endless things to say, the middle-aged and elderly women's group was still chattering. Lin Xiaoman, who continued to be isolated, was looking at the scenery by himself. He didn't care on the surface, but in his heart he was lamenting, this is bumpy! It's better to walk on his own!
The distance from Lijiacun to the town is about five or six kilometers. The oxcart drove for more than an hour and the town was reached.
After leaving the person at the entrance of the town and saying, "We will meet at two o'clock in the afternoon, we will not wait until the time passes," Zhao Laogen drove the cows to do his own business.
People in the car walked together in twos and threes, and because of Li Zhang’s face, no one was willing to offend her by joining Lin Xiaoman.
Lin Xiaoman, who had no intention of getting together in the first place and no one cared about her, was even happier.
After walking on the bluestone road into the town, following Yang Lixia's future memories, Lin Xiaoman found an uninhabited alley after twists and turns.
Using the inventory in the space, Lin Xiaoman simply dressed up, and a stooped old lady appeared.
Bending down, old lady Lin Xiaoman slowly moved to the vicinity of the town government.
Observing the terrain, he chose the small alley diagonally opposite the government gate where the view was relatively hidden. Lin Xiaoman found a stone to sit on at the entrance of the alley, and just sat there and waited.
After waiting for a while, people coming to work began to arrive one after another. Soon, her target, Mayor Shen, also appeared.
As a small person, Yang Lixia had never seen Mayor Shen, but Mayor Shen's appearance was provided in the plan.
The black pig factory in Lijiacun definitely has a protective umbrella. Of course, Mayor Shen is not a member of the gang, but an honest and fair person who does practical things for the people. He is the first choice for reporting.
Spotting his target with sharp eyes, Lin Xiaoman quickly stood up and walked over quickly, while shouting in an old falsetto, "Comrade, comrade..."
He saw her out of the corner of his eye. Shen, who was riding his bicycle and was about to enter the government compound, put his feet on the ground, stopped, and pointed at himself in confusion, "You're looking for me?"
"That's right." Lin Xiaoman nodded hurriedly, looking like he was in a hurry.
"Slow down! Don't be in a hurry!" Seeing her trembling steps, fearing that she might fall, Mayor Shen quickly comforted her. While he was talking, the man also got out of the car and pushed the car towards her.
When he walked up to the person, he was sure it was an old lady he didn't recognize. The mayor wondered if she was here to complain. In line with the mentality of making decisions for the people, Mayor Shen asked in a very warm tone, "Old comrade, do you want to see me? What's the matter?"
"A comrade asked me to give this to you, saying it is very, very important." Lin Xiaoman handed over the paper folded into small tofu pieces.
"For me?"
Are you here to make a report and it’s not convenient for you to show up?
Mayor Shen, who took the paper, was already thinking quickly.
"Yes, it's you. He said he was a middle-aged man riding a bicycle. Looking at the most educated one, this must be you!" Lin Xiaoman's tone was full of affirmation, and then emphasized again, "Comrade, can you You must take it, he gave me an egg, it must be very important."
“What does that gay guy look like?”
"Tall and strong, he looks like a farmer. Hey, let's not talk about it anymore. I have to go home and boil eggs for my eldest grandson."
Seeing that Lin Xiaoman was about to leave, Mayor Shen quickly asked, "Hey, old comrade, think about it again, does that person have any characteristics? Is his accent a foreigner or a local?"
"The accent sounds like a local, and I was in that alley just now." Lin Xiaoman pointed to the entrance of the alley, "I really don't know anything else, comrade, I really have to go, my grandson is still waiting for me!"
"Thank you, old comrade, please walk slowly and be careful not to fall."
"Eh."
After saying some words of concern, although he knew that there was probably no one in the alley, Mayor Shen still pushed the cart and took a look.
At first glance, the alley was empty and there was nothing.
With a little disappointment, Mayor Shen entered the government compound.
Returning to his office, Mayor Shen opened the folded paper and looked at it. After just a few glances, Mayor Shen's calm expression suddenly became serious, and then became darker.
After reading it, Mayor Shen returned to normal on the surface, but in his heart there was already a storm.
Raise black pigs!
Illegal imprisonment!
Even kill people and silence them!
If what is written on this paper is true, the implications are too great and the nature is too serious!
Not caring about anything else, and with an attitude of preferring to believe what he had and not what he didn't, Mayor Shen quickly organized his manpower, gathered a team of about twenty people, and then set off towards the location of Lijiacun.
