Chapter 10 No one at home

Li Meng said goodbye and returned to his place where he lived. Zhao Neng rushed to help clean up, so he didn't care about him. Li Meng returned to his broken house, took out half a piece of bread from his arms, scooped a scoop of cold water, and chewed it slowly. This was bought by him in Fengmeng Town. In modern times, Li Meng never thought that white flour would be so sweet. It was a bit unreasonable to call this side white flour, but the color was dark.

But eating it in his mouth was a real delicacy for Li Meng. After eating half a piece of bread left, he turned over to the evening.

But the crying outside came clearly, making the sweet dough cake a little hard to swallow. For Li Meng from the modern era, inspector Mou's misconduct and oppressing the people made Li Meng intolerable. The people in the Xue Qianhu House were all kind and honest people. The terrified Li Meng was not raised by these villagers since he was five years old.

I encountered Yan Ding on the road today and was looted in the village at night. The memories of this body owner in the past, as well as what Li Meng saw and heard during this period of time, all show that inspector Mou and Yan Ding are completely evil beasts that eat people!

In the army and financial escort companies, they are very militarized and closed groups, and they are all very orthodox ideological education. People with a personality like Li Meng do not like to play very much. They exercise their bodies strictly in accordance with the regulations of the escort companies every day and practice military skills (the same is true for the rules of financial escort companies). People are also relatively simple.

For what I saw, I couldn't bear it anymore. How could those two families whose women had been robbed of their female relatives survive in the future?

Although the others were crying, Zhao Neng still had a good meal at home. It was a rare enjoyment for him.

That is, after everyone finished breakfast, Chen Liuzi pushed open the door of Zhao Neng's family with a gloomy expression. Behind him was a companion who went with him yesterday. This companion was the child of the old Wang family in the east of the village, named Wang Hai. He was the youngest among the salt sellers yesterday. He laughed all day long and seemed to have no worries.

But at this time, he followed Chen Liuzi with a sad face. Chen Liuzi politely greeted Zhao Neng's mother, and then called Zhao Neng to the yard. Zhao Neng's mother was doing needlework in the room, and ignored these young people.

Chen Liuzi called Zhao Neng out, closed the courtyard gate, turned around and said coldly to Wang Hai:

"You're not telling Brother Zhao about your good things!"

Wang Hai is thin and thin, and he is not even a half-bearded child. After being scolded by Chen Liuzi, he looked at Zhao Neng's expression and suddenly cried with a "wow". When he cried, Chen Liuzi became even more angry and wanted to slap Wang Hai, but Zhao Neng grabbed him and said in a deep voice:

"What are you fighting? Wang Hai, don't be afraid, just say it."

He persuaded Wang Hai for a few more words, which made Wang Hai quiet and tell what happened a few days ago. This time he went to Fengmeng Town to sell private salt. The one or two hundred kilograms of salt brought by each person naturally did not say that he would take it out just by taking it out, but he also had to prepare in advance. However, he still had to send some salt to the salt farm for sale on a daily basis, otherwise it would be too noticeable.

On weekdays, people who collect salt in the salt farm have a small portion and do a lot of things like lowering the salt price. They have quarreled with people from various garrison villages, but poor families who sell salt do not dare to offend the people in the salt farm. This time Wang Hai sent salt to him and quarreled with them again, and almost started a fight.

Wang Hai was young and energetic, so he blurted out, "I won't be interested in selling salt to you in the future, let's sell it ourselves!" After that, he regretted it and hurriedly returned home.

I thought this matter would just pass, but who would have thought that I would be intercepted by Yan Ding on the way to deliver salt. Yesterday, inspector Mou brought people to search the village. When I went home at night, although I handed over the snacks I bought and the money I earned to my parents, the whole family was very happy, but Wang Hai became more and more afraid of it. He thought that this sentence had caused everyone to be implicated by his words. He didn't even sleep well all night, so he woke up early in the morning and came to find Chen Liuzi.

After hearing these words, Zhao Neng was all about beating people, but he was older and more steady. He said to Chen Liuzi:

"You go and ask all the brothers who went there yesterday to see what they said."

Chen Liuzi agreed and turned around and went out. Zhao Neng slowed down his voice and asked:

"Xiaohai, didn't you tell me where we will sell it and when will we go?"

Wang Hai thought for a moment and answered with great certainty:

"I regretted it after saying that, and I didn't say anything next!!"

Now that things have come to this point, what else can I do? Zhao Neng sighed, patted Wang Hai on the shoulder and said:

"It's okay, go back. Remember, don't tell me what happened yesterday, otherwise we and our family will lose our heads."

Wang Hai listened timidly, wiped his tears and turned around and went out. Zhao Neng stood in the yard and thought about it, but he couldn't come up with any regulations. After thinking for a long time, Zhao Neng patted his forehead and there was a wise man next door. What was he thinking about here? Yesterday, Li Meng's performance was brave and resourceful, so it was absolutely right to ask him for advice.

As a result, when I turned to the door, I saw that the door was closed, Li Meng's house was dilapidated and there was nothing. Even if there was a door and a yard, they were all done. Zhao Neng knew that Li Meng's yard and house door were all hidden, and an acquaintance could just push the door and go in, but it was not locked anyway.

Zhao Neng pushed open the broken door without hesitation. If he had gone directly into the house in the past, Li Meng had now invisibly established prestige among these military children. Zhao Neng was not as casual as before, and stood in the yard and shouted:

"Li Meng, Li Meng..."

No one agreed, and after a few more calls, no one squeaked. Zhao Neng shook his head and pushed the door directly. The door opened in response to the sound, and there was no one in the room.

Zhao Neng then remembered that when he woke up in the morning, Li Meng did not come to eat as usual. According to his past habit, Li Meng had breakfast at his house. There were so many things yesterday, and he thought Li Meng would sleep for a while, so he didn't come to greet him. Who would have thought that the person would disappear?

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Zhao Neng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he had run away, but then he saw that Li Meng's money, knife and iron ruler were neatly placed on the bed board yesterday. The important things were still there, and I guess people wouldn't go far. After all, Li Meng is not the fool in the past, and he must have acted according to his own ideas. Zhao Neng walked into the house and laughed and scolded:

"These things are not afraid of being lost here."

He walked up and stuffed the money and weapons into the corner, thinking that it would not be too late to ask when Li Meng came back, but he did not notice that the knife placed on the bed was missing.
