Chapter 116: The Pure Land of Desire
After borrowing someone from the police station, Sun Changbing searched for two more days but still found no clues.
He also checked the nearby villages and found nothing unusual. According to his speculation, if the woman had not had an accident, then someone must have hidden her.
Sun Changbing didn't believe that a strange woman could survive in this mountain without food or water.
Finally, he turned his suspicious eyes to Wang Zhihe, and early in the morning on the third day, he rode his bicycle back to Guyingling and went to Wang Zhihe's Sunjiacun Primary School.
“When people are born, their nature is good and their natures are similar…”
“If a child does not teach well, it is the father’s fault; if a child does not teach strictly, it is the teacher’s laziness…”
The childish sound of reading reached Sun Changbing's ears. The Three Character Classic was a compulsory course in Wang Zhihe's teaching, the purpose of which was to guide the future of Sunjia Village onto the right path from an early age.
Sun Changbing did not interrupt. He stood outside the door and listened silently for a while, cleansing his soul.
After putting on that set of clothes, he also changed and was no longer untainted by the mud.
He felt that it was not his problem, because everyone was like this, at least everyone he had seen was like this, constantly reaching out to put things that did not belong to them into their pockets, and he was just going with the flow.
At least he did not do anything wrong. He is still a good policeman and a good party member.
Smoke was rising from the kitchen and hot air was coming out of the thatched roof. Sun Changbing knocked on the wooden door.
"Hey, Changbing, why are you here?" Wang Zhihe added some firewood and stood up.
"I came to see you." Sun Changbing looked around the room out of habit.
The slightly blackened wooden structure had a damp, moldy smell.
A big pot, with steam rising from it mixed with the aroma of rice, seemed to bring Sun Changbing back to his childhood.
The lonely old man lives quietly in such an environment, creating a future for Sunjia Village.
"Teacher, you have seen that woman, right?" Sun Changbing went straight to the point.
"What? Do you suspect me?" Wang Zhihe kept smiling. When he saw Sun Changbing, he already knew the other party's intention.
"No, teacher, I want to save that woman. You have to believe me."
Wang Zhihe was not moved. If it weren't for Qi Tongwei, he might have placed his hopes on Sun Changbing. But now it seems that Sun Changbing is too unpredictable.
Eight thousand yuan! Whether it was money or feelings, he didn't think he could compare to Sun Wood, so he didn't dare to gamble.
"I don't know. If you suspect me, just search me." Wang Zhihe said coldly.
"Alas, you just don't believe me." Sun Changbing sighed.
Seeing the other party's resistance, he stopped dwelling on the matter and changed the subject.
The two chatted for a while, and Sun Changbing asked Wang Zhihe about the difficulties he encountered in running the school and in his life.
Wang Zhihe just said it was okay, as long as he had food and shelter, and that as long as people have few desires in life, anywhere can be a paradise.
Sun Changbing knew that the other party was dissatisfied with Sunjia Village and misunderstood him.
After leaving a hundred yuan, Sun Changbing left in a hurry.
He felt that he had guessed a glimmer of the truth.
...
Dark clouds blocked the moonlight, and the pitch-black Tianxi Village looked like a ghost village hidden in a horror movie.
The autumn wind whistled against the old doors and windows, adding a touch of eeriness.
"Why did you follow me out!" Qi Tongwei looked at the person following him unhappily.
"Is there a big case? I want to go!" Tang Yu grabbed Qi Tongwei's sleeve tightly.
"What nonsense! We are going to hunt some game."
Tang Yu rolled his eyes, "Do you think I'm a fool? Gao Cheng was asked to let you go, just to avoid others."
"We let him go because he paid the fine," Qi Tongwei explained.
"You let him go for only 600 bucks. Are you that kind?"
Qi Tongwei paused. When did he become Zhou Baopi?
"Isn't there an IOU of 400?"
Tang Yu snorted and laughed, "Okay, hunting wild game in the middle of the night is such an interesting thing, I have never tried it before, let's go together."
"…, OK, OK, I'll tell you the truth. I'm going to pick someone up. It's over 20 miles of mountain road. I need to get there within two hours. Can you do it?"
"Am I not better than theirs?" Tang Yu retorted disdainfully, and glanced at Meng Xiaoguan and Qian Hu. The two of them lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Qi Tongwei was speechless for a while, "Qian Hu, you stay."
Qian Hu had a sad face: "Yes..."
Meng Xiaoguan secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, I am not at the bottom.
The group did not ride bicycles, but instead chose to run long distances. The roar of motorcycles was too conspicuous, and given the mountain roads and night time, it was safer to walk.
Twenty miles was no problem for Xiao Long. Since Qi Tongwei came here through time travel, his physique had become much stronger than that of ordinary people. Although he had exercised less in recent years, he could still barely hold on.
What surprised everyone the most was Tang Yu. They originally thought that the other party was good in martial arts, but unexpectedly, his endurance was much stronger than Qi Tongwei. The worst was Meng Xiaoguan, who was a serious drag.
After running and stopping for three hours, everyone finally arrived at the agreed place.
I checked the time with a flashlight. It was almost the time we had agreed to meet at the meeting with Mr. Wang, but he hadn't shown up yet.
It's two o'clock in the morning
"Nothing will happen, right?" Qi Tongwei couldn't help feeling a little worried.
After waiting for another half an hour, there was a slight movement on the road on the mountain. Qi Tongwei, who had excellent eyesight, was the first to see two black shadows cautiously appearing in front of him.
Qi Tongwei flashed his flashlight twice, and the other side responded with two dim yellow lights.
"Walk."
The group quickly reunited.
Only then did Qi Tongwei see the appearance of the woman opposite him clearly. She had stayed in the mountains for too long and was not much better than a beggar.
The woman was very surprised to see Qi Tongwei, "Senior Qi!"
"Huh? You know me?"
"Senior Qi, I'm Liang Meng's roommate. You were the one who sent Liang Meng to school when she was a freshman."
Qi Tongwei recalled carefully and indeed did not recognize her. He only had impressions of beautiful women.
“Oh, I remember now, your name was… called…” Qi Tongwei pretended to recall.
"My name is Zhang Xiaomei." Zhang Xiaomei reminded.
"Ah, yes, yes, Zhang Xiaomei." Qi Tongwei nodded.
"Senior Qi... woooo~." Zhang Xiaomei was so excited to meet an acquaintance that she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Okay, stop crying. It's getting late. I'll take you to Qiaojia Village first." Qi Tongwei hurried to comfort her.
With Zhang Xiaomei's speed, it would probably be five or six o'clock by the time she got to the town. By then, people would have already gotten up to work, and many accidents could easily happen.
"Xiao Long, you have good physical strength, carry Comrade Xiao Mei on your back."
"Okay." Xiao Long was a soldier, and saving people was the most important thing at the moment, so he didn't think too much about it.
Everyone still followed the original plan and went to Qiaojia Village first.
Everyone agreed.
Tang Yu didn't expect that he would really pick up someone, and this person looked like an acquaintance.
Xiao Long eats a lot, and it's no wonder that he's a humanoid machine. He still holds his own with Zhang Xiaomei on his back, except that Zhang Xiaomei's plump body rubs against him, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
