Go straight south. I'm not sure about that. No villager stood up to keep them.
Secretary Lin hurriedly had someone carry Lin Weikang up and ran to find the village head's only doctor.
Saying that the doctor was wrong wasn't right either. That fellow had been sick for a few years already and was considered a rare cultural figure in the village. Secretary Lin thought about the fact that pigs were similar to humans and wanted to see if he could find a way to wake them up first.
Fortunately, Lin Wei Kang woke up on the way back. Other than being a little dizzy, he was fine. It could be considered good luck.
"Bastard! That guy with the gun! One day, I will make him pay!" Lin Weikang gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Come on, I'll be gone in a week." Secretary Lin said.
"One week is enough." Lin Weikang said coldly.
"You, you!" Secretary Lin sighed, then turned around and left. He was just an old man's secretary. Towards the other old men, he still had a bit of deterrence, but towards these young men, his words were completely useless.
On the other side, Xu Taiping and the terrified Chu Tian had already left the place where the gunshot was.
"You're still going to Lin Meimei then?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Go … "Go ahead." Chu Tian hesitated before saying.
"Then let's go take a look! Do you know where it is? " Xu Taiping asked.
"I'm not too sure either, but I heard from the school that there's a big rock in front of her house. Look, is it that rock?" Chu Tian pointed to a large rock tens of meters away.
"Let's go over and take a look!" Xu Taiping walked over to a large rock not far away.
Behind the boulder was a two-story brick building. At the front of the building, an old grandma was peeling garlic.
Xu Taiping brought Chu Tian in front of the old granny.
The old grandma lowered her head, wholeheartedly stripping the garlic. She seemed to have not heard the sound of footsteps.
"Elder, is this Lin Mei's home?" Xu Taiping asked.
The old woman continued to peel the garlic without any reaction.
"Elder, is this Lin Mei's home?" Chu Tian raised his voice and asked.
The old grandma seemed to have only just heard him, slowly raising her head, looking towards Xu Taiping and Chu Tian, her face revealing a puzzled expression, she asked, "What did you say?"
"I say, isn't this Lin Mei's home!" Chu Tian said in an even louder voice.
"Oh, it's beautiful. So what if it's beautiful?" the old woman asked.
"Is this Lin Mei's home!?" Chu Tian continued to ask loudly.
"Beautiful, his dad died a long time ago. He's already been dead for several years!" The old grandma answered without answering the question.
"Elder, what we mean is, does Lin Mei live here?" Xu Taiping walked over to the old grandma's side and said loudly.
"Beautiful, his mother is dead as well. Ah, my pitiful son's daughter-in-law!" The old grandma sighed and said.
"This grandma seems a bit abnormal." Chu Tian said in a low voice.
"En!" Xu Taiping nodded. He looked behind the old woman and saw that the door behind her was closed.
"Why don't we leave first? We can't get anything out of you, I don't think." Chu Tian said.
"Wait a moment." As Xu Taiping spoke, he suddenly shouted loudly, "Is Lin Mei here?"
"What did you say?" the old woman asked again.
Xu Taiping ignored the old grandma and looked at the small two-story building in front of him.
There was no sound coming from the second floor, but Xu Taiping could tell by how strong he was that there was someone there. He didn't know why, but the person on the second floor still didn't make any sound, which made Xu Taiping feel a little strange.
"Let's go." As Xu Taiping spoke, he pulled Chu Tian to the side.
"If Lin Mei isn't here, where would she be?" Chu Tian curiously asked as they walked.
"She should be here. I just don't know why she doesn't want to see us." Xu Taiping said.
"Don't want to see us? How could that be? We have no enmity with her! " Chu Tian said.
"Perhaps we can find the answer to this matter from Lin Jun. I'll ask him about it in the afternoon!" Xu Taiping said.
"Alright then!" Chu Tong nodded.
As the two walked further and further away, that old grandma who looked a little confused watched the two of them leave in silence. No one knew what she was thinking about.
Xu Taiping and Chu Tian returned to the school together, and not long later, Lin Shenghu came back with a few fish.
"Give the big guys more food. This is a fish that I'm calling from two kilometers away!" Lin Shenghu said with a smile.
"Thank you, President Lin!" Xu Taiping said gratefully.
"It's nothing, it's not easy for you to come here. Although we don't have the hardware, we still have a lot of special things. For example, this fish is a real wild carp, you city people can't eat it." Lin Shenghu said.
"Let me cook some fish soup and braised carp for everyone at noon!" Xu Taiping said.
"Hahaha, alright, I still look forward to the skills of you city people!" Lin Shenghu said.
Xu Taiping took the fish and walked straight into the kitchen.
Not long after, a delicious lunch was prepared.
A group of people from Jiang Yuan University arrived, bringing with them Lin Shenghu.
"I didn't expect Director Xu's cooking skills to be so good!" Lin Shenghu smiled and praised him.
"Not bad, there were quite a few people who liked to eat at home, so I learned a bit of craftsmanship." As Xu Taiping spoke, he looked at the people from Jiangyuan University and said, "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat!"
"Yes sir!"
After lunch, it was time for class.
Xu Taiping ran to the school gate and waited. After a while, he ran into Lin Army.
Lin Jun walked over from afar, carrying the backpack that he had somehow dirtied.
Xu Taiping went up to greet him. He was about to say something when he realized that Lin Jun's face was red and swollen.
"What's wrong with your face?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"Bees stung." As Lin Jun spoke, he walked straight into the school, seemingly not intending to pay any attention to Xu Taiping.
"How can a bee sting be stung like this? At the very least, it should be Hornet's Nest, right? " Xu Taiping said.
"That's none of your business." Lin Jun said.
"Alright, I don't have the leisure to care about you. Anyway, you just need to come to class. Oh right, I need to ask you something." Xu Taiping said.
Lin Jun did not say a word as he continued forward.
"If you answer me honestly, I'll give you a pack of cigarettes." Xu Taiping said.
"Although I have never seen the world and have never been to a big city, I can be sure that your act of bribing students with cigarettes does not exist outside, right?" Lin Jun said.
"Aha, you're right. Not everyone can be as creative as me, and not everyone can be like me." Xu Taiping said proudly.
Lin Jun rolled his eyes and continued walking forward.
"You don't want a pack of cigarettes?" Xu Taiping asked.
"The question you want to ask me is nothing but the matters of Lin Weikang and those hooligans, or Lin Mei. I don't know either way." Lin Jun coldly said.
"Oh?" I didn't expect you to still have some brains! " Xu Taiping said in surprise.
"Although I don't study, but …" I'm not stupid. " Lin Jun said.
"Then I'll give you two packs of cigarettes and answer some questions." Xu Taiping said.
"It's useless. No matter how much more you give me, I won't say it because even if I do, it will have no meaning." Lin Jun said.
"Why is it meaningless now? Tell me, could it possibly change the world?" Xu Taiping said.
"Change the world? Just us, this godforsaken place? Even if all of the villagers in this village were to die, the world would not change at all, and perhaps no one would even know about it. " Lin Jun said.
"Why are you so pessimistic?" Xu Taiping said with dissatisfaction, "If you are pessimistic about this world, this world will be cruel to you. If you are optimistic about this world, this world will give you warmth!"
"You're just a security guard, saying that this looks very cultured, but in reality it doesn't mean anything at all. It's very funny, if you're the richest man in the world, like China, then saying something like that would mean something." Lin Jun said.
"China's richest man? Have you ever seen the richest man in China? " Xu Taiping asked.
"Me? How could I possibly have seen it? " Lin Jun shook his head.
"Then how can you say that it makes sense?" Xu Taiping asked.
"The meaning of words does not lie in the content of the words, but in the person who speaks. As a security guard, no matter how philosophical he is, he is just bullsh * t. If he is the richest man in China, even if he says sh * t is fragrant, he would still give people a deep meaning." Lin Jun said.
"Oh, I didn't expect a mere sixteen year old like you to have such a deep understanding. Not bad!" Xu Taiping could not help but sigh. As he lamented, Xu Taiping patted Lin Jun's shoulder.
"Hiss …" Lin Jun sucked in a breath of cold air and dodged to the side.
"What's wrong? Your shoulder is injured? " Xu Taiping asked.
"None of your business." Lin Jun shook his head and continued walking forward.
This time, Xu Taiping did not follow, because from Lin Jun's appearance, he did not seem to plan to chat with him. Since that was the case, there was no point in continuing.
In a blink of an eye, it was already evening. The school term ended.
One by one, the students walked out of the classroom.
Xu Taiping stood in front of the school gates, smiling as he bid farewell to the students who were leaving one by one.
When the students had arrived today, they had seen Xu Taiping greeting them with a smile on his face. When they had left, they had even seen him bid farewell with a smile on his face, feeling that it would be a bit bad if they didn't respond.
Lin Jun was walking at the back of the crowd. Without even looking at Xu Taiping, he walked out of the school by himself.
Xu Taiping looked at Lin Jun and realized that he was not heading towards his home, but towards the mountain behind the school.
Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows and followed her quietly.
