Chapter 234 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 19
Xiao Xiao saw the police officer make some harsh remarks and hurriedly ran outside, got on her bicycle, and followed him.
She glanced at her mother with concern.
Lu Yingniang calmly took out her handkerchief, squatted down, and carefully wiped the melon seeds off her daughter's face.
"Mom, are you alright?!"
"fine!"
Lu Yingniang looked calm and confident.
Hu Ziqiang, standing nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Desperate to save his sister, Lu Aijun took a shortcut, wading through ditches and across the ground, and ran straight to Dahouqiao Village.
Several young men, whose names had been called by Lu Yingniang, called out Ai Jun's name and chased after him.
The police glanced at the direction and roughly knew they were heading to Dahou Bridge, so they quickly gave chase along the main road.
"Aijun, do you know which place Aunt Yingniang calculated?"
"I know, there's no one else besides that old beast's family."
Lu Aijun ran faster while turning his head to answer angrily.
"Whose house is this?!"
"The one surnamed Zhao is Zhao Xuewen, who teaches junior high school in town."
His wife died two years ago. My sister said that he asked my sister to attend tutoring classes several times.
Besides him, I can't think of anyone else.
"That must be him."
Several young people, speaking excitedly, ran onto the stone bridge in front of them.
After crossing the bridge, you'll find Dahouqiao Village ahead.
"Hey! You guys, don't mess around!"
The police finally caught up with them as they stepped onto the stone bridge.
Lu Aijun ignored them and the police, and kept running towards the riverbank.
"I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me? Stop right now!"
Don't listen to that liar Lu Yingniang's nonsense; you've all been to school.
Why are you so superstitious?
We, the police, will investigate this matter thoroughly and we will definitely find your sister.
"Did you hear me, Lu Aijun?!"
As the policeman spoke, he rode his bicycle across the crowd, blocking their way.
"Get the hell out of here!"
Lu Aijun's eyes were bloodshot. He kicked out and knocked Lu Aijun and his bicycle to the ground.
Then, he passed him and continued running towards the embankment.
"Lu Aijun, how dare you assault a police officer? Be careful, or I'll arrest you and put you in jail."
The young policeman got up from the ground in anger, picked up his bicycle, and shouted at Lu Aijun's back with his outstretched hand.
Lu Aijun ignored him completely and crossed the dam in a few breaths.
He hadn't believed Aunt Lu Ying's mother before, but he had participated in the fox spirit catching incident.
I also saw the three-tailed fox in the coffin with my own eyes.
To be honest, in the past, after the TV series "Investiture of the Gods" and the stories told by older people,
In reality, he had never actually seen a three-tailed fox.
After the fox spirit was burned to death, the values of the young people in the village were shattered.
I no longer dare to interfere with the older generation's practices of burning incense and worshipping gods.
What's more, there was the case of retrieving a body from the reservoir that happened just two days ago, which was also something Aunt Yingniang had foreseen.
Regardless of what others say, he certainly believes it.
Several young men turned around and glared at the young policeman, their faces showing dissatisfaction.
The old policeman rode up to them, panting. He had seen what had just happened.
"master?!"
"Alright, hurry up, follow them and keep an eye on things, make sure nothing goes wrong!"
Feng Jinguo frowned and urged him to catch up on his bicycle.
After entering the village, Lu Aijun immediately grabbed a child, asked for directions, and found a house in front of it.
Lu Aijun leaped over the half-person-high earthen wall made of loess.
Then the gate was opened and several young people rushed in.
"Aijun, is this it? Don't get it wrong."
After the young men entered the courtyard, they looked suspiciously at the tightly closed doors to the main room and the stove, as there was no sound from inside.
"You bunch of brats, stop!"
The police arrived on bicycles, parked their bikes against the courtyard wall, and rushed in.
How could Lu Aijun possibly stop?
He observed carefully for a moment, then pushed hard on the tightly closed door of the main room.
With a clang, the door could only be pushed open a crack, revealing a bolt inside.
This delighted him, indicating that there were people inside the house.
"Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, are you inside? It's me, Big Brother, Xiao Cui?!"
"Aijun, I think I hear a sound inside the house."
A young man from the same village ran to the wooden window of the east house and, through the dark window, faintly heard a girl making a "woo-woo" sound of crying for help inside.
Upon hearing this, Lu Aijun became extremely anxious and took a few steps back before kicking the wooden door violently.
Unfortunately, he couldn't kick it open; instead, his foot was throbbing painfully from the impact.
The wooden doors of these old rural houses are made of particularly sturdy materials.
"Tear it down, tear it down, just tear down the door!"
Several young men squatted down and worked together to lift one side of the door frame upwards.
They were no strangers to this kind of thing; in the past, when school ended early, the adults at home were still working in the fields.
They would then tear down the door and enter the house.
"Hey! You guys?!"
Just as the young policeman was about to reach out to stop him, the veteran policeman Feng Jinguo grabbed him and shook his head sternly at him.
He also realized something was wrong.
In broad daylight, in the middle of summer, with the door closed from the inside—this is the countryside, who would do that?
Everything about it seems abnormal.
Let these kids give it a try.
Regardless of whether the person inside is Lu Aijun's sister or not, this is still quite abnormal.
If the owner were actually resting inside, they would have already spoken up and reprimanded them.
Despite all this commotion, there was no sound from inside.
"What are you doing? Who are you? And why are there police officers here?"
When the people at Dahouqiao saw the commotion, they rushed over, looking at them with suspicion and questioning them.
If there hadn't been two policemen in the yard, they would have called for help to catch the thief.
"Officers, what are you doing? Why do you want to see Teacher Zhao?"
"No, stop prying! What are you doing? Are you robbing me in broad daylight?"
Zhao Laoshuan pointed at the young men and sternly reprimanded them.
Lu Aijun and his group ignored them completely. With a whoosh, the hinge of a door was lifted, moved outside the door pier, and then the door was pushed open.
Lu Aijun squeezed in, leaning to one side, and headed straight for the east room.
After lifting the curtain, the room was dimly lit, and the windows were covered with a bed sheet.
But the first thing he saw was his sister, Lu Aicui, leaning against the wall, her eyes filled with tears, staring at him with a mixture of surprise and joy.
"Woooo..."
Lu Aicui had a towel stuffed in her mouth, her body half-covered by the bed sheet, and she made anxious sounds through her nose.
"Xiao Cui--!"
Lu Aijun rushed forward and yanked the towel out of his sister's mouth.
"Big brother--! Waaah---"
Lu Aicui let out a loud cry and burst into tears.
Lu Aijun tenderly stroked her head. Seeing that his sister appeared to be naked, he quickly turned to the side and addressed the village children who had followed him in:
"You all get out, get out!"
After exchanging glances, the group quickly went outside.
Lu Aijun then first untied the rope on his sister's wrists, then turned his back and let his sister untie the rope on her ankles herself.
After listening to her rustling as she finished dressing, he asked resentfully:
"Where is that old beast?"
Lu Aijun was so angry that he gritted his teeth to pieces, and his whole face was contorted with hatred.
He never imagined that his sister was just playing with her classmates, and yet she ended up being...
That beast! He must kill that old beast!
Upon hearing this, Lu Aicui flinched, her eyes immediately filled with terror. Grabbing her elder brother's arm, she said in a trembling voice:
"Underground...underground, he's digging a tunnel underground!"
"what?"
Lu Aijun exclaimed in surprise.
