"Why? If it weren't for Mr. Xu's sister, the Xu family would have died long ago during the Great Famine. You know, at that time, Old Man Xu had two older brothers and sisters, and his two older brothers and sisters died during the Great Famine."

The old man is still very clear about these things and is now aware of them.

But Shaodong was very curious. Didn’t the old man say before that during the Great Famine, because Mr. Xu and his sister invented a kind of bastard, wasn’t it solved the problem of the Great Famine?

Why do anyone die because of the Great Famine?

So, Shaodong immediately raised this question.

The old man sighed and said, "It's not that Old Man Xu's brother and sister just starved to death. Although our situation was still a little far from starving to death, we were almost exhausted. Old Man Xu's brother and sister went up the mountain to pick up firewood in this state, and finally rolled down from the mountain without any energy and fell to death."

"Then what does this have to do with Mr. Xu's sister?"

Shao Dong asked in confusion.

The old man shook his head and said, "It was because he saw two people die in their family that Mr. Xu's sister distributed some of his own food to Mr. Xu's family. At that time, Mr. Xu's family had too many people, so there was not enough food at all. Even if he made it into such a kind of bastard, it would not be available every meal...

Alas, you have never experienced that kind of life and cannot experience that kind of helplessness."

Shaodong can understand what the old man said. Although he had never experienced that era of famine, he also heard the old man at home talk about it when he was a child.

In that era, a piece of steamed bun could be divided into several meals to eat.

Of course, Shaodong could understand the old man's words. After all, in those days, Mr. Xu's sister was a virtuous person to Mr. Xu's family.

Even if others oppose it or others are neutral, Old Man Xu and his family shouldn't do this.

Dong...

At this moment, a bell rang, and Shao Dong, Meng Qing and others stood up at the same time, looked towards the direction where the bell rang.

"Old man, please trouble you today, let's leave first." Shao Dong said hurriedly.

But the old man ignored Shao Dong, looked up at the direction of the hill, and murmured: "It's coming again, it's coming again. Is this the ancestor angry?"

After saying that, the old man collapsed on the ground with a sad face.

After he did this, Shao Dong and others were shocked. The few people who were originally going to leave quickly helped the old man up. One and the other looked nervous and surprised. Why did the old man fall down?

What makes people even more speechless is that the old man's daughter-in-law who just came out of the room heard the bell as soon as she came out. She watched the old man spread to the ground and didn't think about helping him. Instead, she sat on the ground like the old man.

This really confused Shao Dong and others.

I had to look up and look at the direction of the hill, thinking to myself, is the sound of the death knives really so evil?

Or are the people in Xihe Village who are too poisoned, and they still have reached this point when they call a bell?

In fact, no one knows what, and no one knows. Shao Dong and others had to help the old man up and sit down, and then ask someone to help the old man’s daughter-in-law up.

Then he asked, "Old man, what about it, isn't it just that the bell rang?"

"As for it?" the old man was anxious and said, "What do you foreigners know? In our Xihe Village, nothing can be achieved, but this death knell is our life. Let's go, you foreigners who don't know anything, hurry up and leave this place, let's go."

Since hearing the bell, the old man seemed to have become a different person, and his whole spirit was different from before.

Originally, Shaodong and others wanted to ask more questions, but the old man impatiently sent them out of the house.

The attitude was completely opposite to when I came in before.

Shaodong never understood what impact the death knell had on Xihe Village?

After the old man came out, Shaodong saw a more surprising scene. Any older people who could see on the road looked like an old man from the Jiang family.

Sitting on the ground, his eyes were dull and his face looked confused.

This made Shao Dong and others feel as if they had entered a strange world, and the people in the whole world seemed to be crazy.

Although they didn't do anything, just watching it makes people feel scared.

The few people in Shaodong pretended to be brave enough to ask a few old people, but they ignored them at all, waved their hands and signaled them to leave quickly.

This made Shao Dong and others even more curious.

Although the young people in the village were not like these older people, they were all by their elders. They could not tell the reason even if they asked them. Every time they wanted to ask, the elderly sitting on the ground interrupted them directly and then bombarded Shao Dong and others.

At this time, these old men who seemed to be crazy were completely ignorant, regardless of whether Shao Dong and others were policemen or other identities. In their unscrupulous eyes, there was only one direction that was clear, that was, the hill where the Death Bell Pavilion was located.

Shaodong knew that it was impossible to get any clues here, so he just took a few people to the hill.

This was originally the place they prepared to come from the beginning.

After all, hearing the sound of the death knell being ringed was still a big shock to them.

It was just that when they saw the old people's reactions, Shao Dong hesitated for a while.

When walking towards the hill, Shaodong rubbed his head. What happened today was so surprising.

From Xu Ping's death in the morning to Old Man Xu's death now, it happened between this day. Moreover, they came to Xihe Village many times in a day. Every time they felt that they understood the village, but when they came back next time, they found that they could not see through the village at all.

To be honest, Shaodong is almost confused by this village.

Along the way, he kept deducing the entire case in his heart.

Before, it was the hill where he asked Wang Gang to take his men to ambush. He already felt that the murderer would definitely ring the death knell again. Now, the death knell is indeed ringing again, but Shao Dong felt a little melancholy.

For some reason, after Shao Dong walked out of Old Man Jiang's house, he saw the scenes in the village. The vivid scenes were like movies, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

At the foot of the hill, Shaodong and others met colleagues from the criminal police team.

"Director Shao."

When the colleagues of the criminal police team saw Shao Dong and others, they hurried over and said hello. Shao Dong nodded and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"We don't know the situation above." A colleague of the criminal police team said: "When the control was deployed, Captain Wang asked us to stay at the foot of the mountain to prevent the suspect from running away because of the familiar terrain. By the way, he also stared here to see if there were any suspicious people going up the mountain. We didn't have long stay here, and we heard the bells coming from the top of the mountain. Now Team Wang has no new instructions, so we have been staying here."

Shaodong could understand Wang Gang's arrangements.

This small hill is not big. Although the foot of the mountain may not be the only place to go down the hill, this arrangement is not a problem at all.

"Okay, you guys keep watching here and let's go up and take a look." Since it was Wang Gang's arrangement, no matter what the result was, Shao Dong would not intervene easily at this time.

Although he did not have the experience of being a superior leader, what he hated most when he was in the municipal bureau was that his superior leader randomly changed his work arrangements and deployments.

So, in this regard, he will not do things that make his subordinates unhappy.

However, the colleagues, without saying anything, nodded directly and found a place to cat.

Since it is a guard, you must hide. They are very clear about this. Although it is impossible to find a 100% hidden place at the foot of this mountain, it is still very easy to find a place to hide.

After they left, Shao Dong and others went straight toward the hill.

However, on the road, Shaodong began to worry. He heard from the colleague of the criminal police team that they were also following the foot of the mountain and then something happened soon. So, will Wang Gang and others on the top of the mountain have time to ambush? If they can't ambush, can they catch the person who rings the death knell?

Not to mention that the suspect is a very cunning person, even on this hill, Wang Gang and others are not as familiar with the suspect.

Fortunately, I had climbed a small hill once before, and this time Shaodong seemed to be familiar with it. In addition, the small hill itself is not high, and Shaodong had already heard a noise before he could finish his thoughts.

"Director Shao, you are here." Seeing Shaodong, someone came over. Shaodong looked up and saw that he was still a colleague of the criminal police team.

This made him frown because he saw Wang Gang and others chasing someone in front of the Death Knox Pavilion not far away, but it was obviously not like catching the suspect.

It's more like who fights with whom, and the rest are there to persuade them to fight.

Seeing this scene, Shao Dong's face turned dark and asked directly: "What's going on?"

Speaking of this, the colleague of the criminal police team also looked embarrassed and said for a while: "Didn't we go up the mountain and find someone to lead the way? Zhang Dasha from the village led us. He was doing well all the way, but after going up the mountain, our colleague called him, but he ignored him, and then our colleague kept calling him, but he got furious and exploded. He had to fight with our colleague. He was in front of the death knives for a long time, and he couldn't hold him back."

"Zhang Dasha?" Shaodong is also very familiar with Zhang Dasha, who is well known to everyone in Xihe Village. After all, Zhang Dasha took them to visit Xihe Village before. At this moment, Shaodong asked: "Are you calling Zhang Dasha directly?"

Hearing Shaodong's question, the colleague of the criminal police team was stunned for a moment and said, "Everyone shouted like this, and we didn't know his name, so we shouted."

"No, just call Zhang Dasha. This should be nothing, right? And he is a fool himself, isn't that a problem?"

Meng Qing, who was standing beside him, was also confused and said with a puzzled look on his face.

But Shao Dong was so angry that he knew that Zhang Dasha was. Although this guy was a fool, he was just an abnormal mind, it didn't mean he was really stupid.

Like people in the village calling him Zhang Dasha, he can greet him with a smile, no matter men, women, young and old. After a long time of contact, he will not be disgusted with a guy like Lao Zhao calling him Zhang Dasha, but strangers can't shout like this.

Liu Jun had suffered this loss before, and in the end he was greeted by Brother Zhang.

So, when Shaodong heard the colleague of the criminal police team talked, he knew what the problem was. He said speechlessly: "You really treat others as fools? Even if they are really fools, you can't respect others? Calling someone in person, who gives you a face, um? Who gives you a face?"

Shaodong was indeed speechless. Where did anyone call someone fools in person? However, he might have forgotten that they seemed to be greeting Zhang Dasha like this before.

The colleague of the criminal police team was stunned by Shao Dong's training. Although the new director was kind in front of others, he was quite good to others on weekdays. This was the first time he was angry with Shao Dong and didn't dare to say anything at the moment.

Wang Gang, who was pulling Zhang Dasha, heard the movement here and hurriedly ran over and said, "Director Shao, sorry, it's all my problem. They are just doing things as I told you."

As a leader, no matter how big or small, you must always protect your own people. This is the knowledge of being a leader.

After all, no one wants to follow a leader who can only get credit for his merits and let his subordinates bear the thunder if something happens.

Of course, there are not just people like this, but in the police force, there are much fewer people like this than those in other professions.

When Shaodong saw Wang Gang coming, he didn't say anything anymore. He knew what Wang Gang wanted to do. After all, he had done this before, which was normal.

As for scolding Wang Gang, it is unrealistic. After all, there are so many people here, and they are all his subordinates, so it is not good to leave him any face.

In addition, this was just an accident. After venting just now, Shao Dong calmed down and thought about the first time he met Zhang Shazi. If it weren't for Liu Jun, they would probably be like Wang Gang and others now.

After rubbing his head, Shao Dong said, "Forget it, I was too nervous just now." Putting aside this topic, Shao Dong asked, "By the way, you have been here, have you not seen anyone ringing the death knell?"

Speaking of this topic, Wang Gang was immediately embarrassed and said, "Actually, it is the people from our criminal police team who rings the death knell."

"What did you say?" Shao Dong was even more stunned. If he remembered correctly, Wang Gang and the others came to watch over the death knell. As a result, the person did not watch, but they rang the death knell.
