Chapter 242: You didn’t elope with your master this time, did you?
"Who are you?" Zhu Pei, a strong man from Xiaoba Village, frowned and asked the five people who came out of the village.
"My fellow villager, didn't I just say that? We are from the military and are catching a fugitive." The tall man said with a wry smile.
Zhu Pei looked at the five people with a vigilant look on his face and said, "Just now, the chief of the town police station said that there may be Japanese here recently, and reminded us to be wary of strangers.
you……"
"My fellow villager, the chief of your police station is right. There have indeed been some Japanese coming and going here recently. The three men and one woman we are chasing are the Japanese spies.
So, if you see those people, be sure to tell us.”
The tall man edited Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio without blushing or beating his heart.
Zhu Pei nodded and said, "We have reported the situation we just encountered with you guys to the police at the town police station.
Tell them that several of your comrades in the army are currently hunting down the fugitive.
Our Director Xu attaches great importance to this matter. He will immediately send someone to contact you to understand the situation of the criminal and assist you in pursuing the suspect.
How about you go into the village and wait? They will be here soon."
When the five people heard Zhu Pei's words, their expressions changed drastically.
The tall man was obviously a little flustered, and said in a stiff voice:
"We have other tasks to perform, so we won't bother the comrades from the police station.
Fellow villagers, you guys are busy, we are leaving first. "
Several people quickly turned around and left in a hurry.
Zhu Pei stretched out his hand behind them and waved:
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? The police from the police station will be here soon. There is strength in numbers..."
The five of them ran to other villages without even looking back.
"Zhu Pei, do you want to find a way to go to the town and inform Director Xu and the others?" The man standing next to Zhu Pei asked as he watched the backs of several people fleeing in panic.
"By the time we went to the town to notify them and came back, they had already run away.
Go back to the village quickly and call an emergency meeting with the villagers to make everyone more vigilant. "
The villagers of Xiaoba Village nodded to each other and hurried into the village.
When Zuo Zixuan and his group arrived in the town, they first went to the town government to make a phone call.
After He Yi dialed the number, he handed it to Zuo Zixuan. Zuo Zixuan briefly told Mr. Yang about the soil testing.
Mr. Yang always responded to Zuo Zixuan's requests. Moreover, this was a good thing that would benefit the country and the people, so he was happy to do his best.
Government workers also sent the soil samples taken by Xu Qingfeng by express delivery to Professor Yang's laboratory at the Academy of Medical Sciences.
After Zuo Zixuan finished his call, Xu Qingfeng thought that he hadn't called his old man for a long time, so he asked Mayor Tao to borrow his phone.
Mayor Tao was very easy to talk to and nodded in agreement immediately.
"Hello, please help me get to the Ministry of Finance of the Central Government."
"OK, just a second."
Beep..., beep...
"Hello, this is the Finance Department of the Central Government. Who can I call?"
"Sister Xiaoyun, it's me, Xu Qingfeng."
"Oh, little brat, your dad has been staring at that phone call all day, looking forward to it so much, and now you finally called.
Wait a minute, I'll transfer it to you."
beep……
"Hello, I'm Xu Tianyang, who is this?"
"Dad, it's me."
"Oh, little ancestor, you finally remembered your father?"
"I can't find a place to call, right?"
"Where are you now?"
"It's in Daxin Town, Xiangshi, Xiangzhou."
The person on the other end of the phone lowered his voice and asked, "You didn't elope with your master this time, did you?
If you have this intention again, you must tell me in advance.
Dad will cover for you."
At this time, everyone in the office had different expressions. Mayor Tao and several department heads were shocked. The person in front of them turned out to be the young master of the God of Wealth?
He Yi had a dark face and held Zuo Zixuan's hand tightly.
Song Yingyan was also shocked. Xu Qingfeng eloped with Zuo Zixuan?
I have heard some incredible information. Will I be silenced?
"Oh, Dad, I've told you many times that what happened that time was for a reason.
There won’t be any more of those things in the future.
By the way, how are grandpa, grandma and mom? "
"Very well, able to eat and sleep.
Do you have any money left? How long will you stay in Daxin Town? Will your father send you some money? "
“No, I can’t even spend all the pocket money my master gives me every month.
Follow my master, everything will be fine, don't worry about me.
Nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Xu Qingfeng hung up the phone and turned around contentedly, only to see that everyone was looking at him with different expressions, still looking confused.
"What are you doing?"
When he asked this, everyone came back to their senses and waved their hands.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Although he said it was okay, his attitude changed 360 degrees.
Originally, people thought Xu Qingfeng was just an ordinary disciple of Zuo Zixuan, and no one took him seriously.
Just be polite on the surface.
But now that they know he is the son of Xu Tianyang from the Finance Department, they are just about to praise him to the sky.
That's to show concern and care.
Xu Qingfeng was left confused.
After finishing the work with the government, He Yi went home with Xu Risheng.
Xu Risheng's home is in an alley close to the town center. Mayor Tao and many government officials also live here.
The third house on the left as you enter the alley is his house.
There is a two-courtyard house with four side rooms in the outer courtyard and four in the inner courtyard. In the local area, it is considered an upper-class family.
In addition to his wife and a one-year-old daughter, his family also has an old mother in her fifties.
His wife, Ran Cui, was arranged by his family in the countryside before he joined the army. She was pretty and had never been to school, but she was diligent and filial.
After Xu Risheng returned from military service, he felt there was nothing to be picky about, so it was natural for him to marry her.
For three or four years, the two had hardly ever quarreled.
The main reason is that Ran Cui is uneducated and has relatively traditional ideas. She believes that a family should be centered around the husband, and whatever a man says is what she does and she never refutes it.
Raising children and being filial to parents-in-law are even more natural things.
Fortunately, neither Xu Risheng nor his mother were the kind of people who would cause trouble. Although they were not very close to Ran Cui, they gave her enough respect.
When Ran Cui saw Xu Risheng bringing back guests, she handed the child to Xu's mother and went to the outer courtyard to clean up the rooms.
Then he went out with a basket to buy vegetables without even taking a break.
Ran Cui was so busy running around that He Yi and the others felt uncomfortable.
He Yi called Xu Qingfeng and Song Yingyan outside the yard, took out twenty yuan and some tickets from his pocket and handed them to them.
"You two go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two cans of malted milk, some candy, and a few bottles of canned fruit.
If you see any buns or steamed buns on the road, buy some back."
Xu Qingfeng and Song Yingyan nodded, took the money and tickets and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
An hour later, Xu Qingfeng and Song Yingyan hurried back carrying things.
"Master, something bad has happened, something bad has happened..."
"What's wrong again?" He Yi and Xu Risheng stood up from their chairs.
"The devils are chasing us!"
"What?" He Yi and Xu Risheng asked in unison.
He Yi asked nervously, "Did they see you?"
He was not afraid of anything else, but what he was most worried about was implicating Xu Risheng and his family.
Xu Qingfeng shook his head repeatedly, "They didn't see us.
We were at the entrance of the alley opposite the post office and saw them heading towards the guesthouse in the town center."
He Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems we can't stay here any longer. Qingfeng, go pack your things and we'll leave now."
"Wait, Qingfeng..." Xu Qingfeng and Song Yingyan were about to turn around when they were stopped by Xu Risheng.
"He Yi, your sister-in-law's foot hasn't healed yet, and she can't see. If she runs into any danger again, are you sure you can get away with it?
Besides, this is on our Chinese soil. Should we be afraid of those bastards?
You guys stay here, I'll take some people to the guesthouse for a surprise inspection and meet these bastards."
He Yi grabbed the man and said, "No, the devils have always been cunning, I'm worried that they might accidentally hurt the civilians."
Xu Risheng thought about it and felt that there must be other guests in the guesthouse. If a fight broke out, he was really afraid that those bastards would target innocent people.
"It's okay. I know my limits. I'll just go for a routine checkup and take a picture of my face."
He Yi thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll let Qingfeng change his appearance and go with you guys.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to recognize what those people look like.”
Xu Risheng nodded, thinking that at most Xu Qingfeng would just disguise himself, change his clothes and wear a hat or something.
But after waiting for half an hour, no one came out of the room.
"He Yi, Qingfeng isn't going to draw another piece of women's clothing or something, is he? Why hasn't he come out for so long?"
He Yi nodded seriously, "It does take some time to pinch the face, it should be done soon, just wait a little longer."
Xu Risheng helplessly raised his teacup and took a sip. If he waited any longer, it would probably be dark.
Another twenty minutes passed, and finally, I heard Xu Qingfeng's door open.
Xu Risheng sighed and finally came out.
"Brother Xu, I'm done, let's go."
Xu Risheng looked up and was immediately shocked by the stranger in front of him.
"Brother Xu, let's go..." Xu Risheng put down the teacup in his hand, walked to Xu Qingfeng, and walked around him.
"Qingfeng?"
Xu Qingfeng tilted his head and agreed, "Yes."
If the voice had not been indeed Xu Qingfeng's, Xu Risheng would really have thought that there was a strange man in his thirties in the house.
He couldn't help but reach out to touch Xu Qingfeng's face, and then moved closer to carefully check the gap, but there was no trace at all.
"Oh my God... This is too scary. How did you do it?"
Xu Qingfeng reached out and touched his face, grinning and showing a small canine tooth, and said with a smile:
“My master taught me!
Mine is nothing, it's much stiffer than the ones my master made.
My master's sculptures are so lifelike."
Before Xu Risheng had time to sigh, Xu Qingfeng pulled him out the door.
"Let's go, it's going to be dark soon.
My master is teaching Sister Cui how to cook, and I am in a hurry to come back for dinner."
In the kitchen, laughter could be heard from time to time.
"Sister Xuanxuan, you are amazing, how did you come up with the idea of cooking the pork belly like this?
The color looks good, and it must taste good too.”
"What's the use of being so powerful? You can't see anything now."
Ran Cui felt like she had said something wrong, and apologized without knowing what she had said:
"Sister Xuanxuan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."
