open and natural. Don't be too shy or reserved."Are you hungry It's been ages since you last ate. Wait a minute, I'll get some porridge for you." Wang Lin patted Xiaoyue's back and said softly."No, I...Time passed by minute after minute, getting closer and closer to home. The more he approached, the more nervous he felt.
An hour later, the high-speed train arrived at its station. Wang Lin followed the crowd and hailed several taxis, but they all refused, complaining that the distance was too far and the road conditions were poor.
I really have no choice, his home is just too remote. In the past, I had to take the bus to get back home, and there were only two buses a day.
But now he has money and doesn't want to wait, so he directly adds one hundred dollars. This time, the taxi drivers are vying to take him.
But he didn't sit down, and instead chose a slightly older middle-aged man who couldn't fit in. The middle-aged man was overjoyed, not paying any attention to the unkind glances from the few drivers in front.
They looked at each other, then together at the middle-aged man. One of them smiled mischievously, "Old Zhang, aren't you breaking the rules"
"Huh What rule did I break I don't know!" Old Zhang looked at the speaker with some confusion.
"Didn't you see that we were all lining up What Are you trying to cut in line"
"No, no, I only agreed because I saw you guys weren't pulling just now." Lao Zhang waved his hands nervously, afraid they would misunderstand.
"Didn't you see we're moving now If you still want to keep pulling people here, go queue up at the back!" The man glared menacingly at Lao Zhang, pointing towards the back with a threatening meaning.
For this scene, Wang Lin didn't say much. Every line has its own rules. Even if he helped this old Zhang now, after he left, Old Zhang would definitely be retaliated against.
He didn't want to ruin someone else's life because of a momentary argument. He lightly said a few words to Lao Zhang and then left, carrying his clothes with him.
Old Zhang had no choice but to return to his car and queue silently. After ten minutes, several cars in front of him had already been loaded and the people had departed.
Old Zhang didn't pick up any passengers, he just drove out directly. At an intersection, he successfully picked up Wang Lin.
After Wang Lin got in the car, Lao Zhang turned his head and looked at him gratefully.
"Little brother, thanks for not making a fuss just now. Otherwise, I couldn't stay here."
"It's okay, I understand your rules. Let's go!"
"Good!"
The vehicle started, and Wang Lin chatted with Lao Zhang in a half-hearted manner, time passing unknowingly.
Two hours later, after paying the fare and getting off the bus, Wang Lin looked at the village sign for Longgang Village ahead and felt excited. "Finally home! I wonder if Mom and Dad will be overjoyed to see me come back suddenly, hehe."
"Oh dear, I was so caught up in the chat that I forgot to buy a gift!"
Wang Lin turned back to see that the taxi was nowhere in sight. He couldn't go into the city now, so he could only go to the small shop in the village to see if there was anything suitable.
Villagers on their way to farm work greeted Wang Lin as he returned. Since Wang Lin had been accepted into university, he had become the pride of the entire village. His parents walked with straighter spines in the village.
Upon reaching the convenience store, he grabbed two boxes of milk. He then picked up a pack of sausages and started heading home. Wang Lin's house was on the outskirts of the village, so he had to cross the entire Longgang Village.
He kept greeting people along the way, but seeing the villagers' expressions, it seemed like they were hiding something from him. He felt a bit worried about his parents and quickened his pace, wanting to get home as soon as possible.
"Oh! Xiaolin is back!"
A middle-aged man wielding a hoe saw Wang Lin and exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, Da (uncle's meaning), I'm not very busy recently, coming back to have a look."
The man cautiously looked around, pulled Wang Lin to the side and whispered to him.
"You're finally back, your parents have been bullied terribly during your absence."
"Who dares to bully my parents!"
Wang Lin was taken aback, anger surged in his heart, he roared viciously, and then immediately wanted to rush home.
"Don't worry, just listen to me."
The man saw that Wang Lin was a bit impulsive and hurriedly grabbed him, beginning to explain the ins and outs of the situation.
About a month ago, your parents were working in the fields when suddenly, a group of vicious people stormed into your family's land.
They brandished their sticks menacingly, threatening your parents, claiming they had set their sights on this piece of land. They warned that if you didn't hand it over, you would regret it.
"Your parents were so terrified, they lost their wits. They didn't dare resist, but they also knew they couldn't give up the land, or else they wouldn't even have food to eat."
So they could only watch helplessly as those people ran rampant on the ground, destroying their crops they had worked so hard to plant.
"Not until dusk did those people cease their labors and depart, leaving behind only a ravaged field to be seen."
As I passed by your house, I saw them sitting helplessly on the doorstep, silently weeping. I went up to ask what was wrong and learned that the village head had taken a liking to your land for some reason unknown.
"You know, the village chief here is like an emperor in our ravine. No one dares to provoke them because of your parents."
That night, they sat on the threshold, quietly watching the distant land.
In the days that followed, their lives became even harder. Those who had bullied them continued to visit and harass them, forcing them to give up their land.
They stay at home every day, unable to go anywhere. They don't dare report the police for fear that making a fuss will bring more trouble.
"Until now, someone is blocking the door threatening me every day. I wanted to call you, but I don't know your phone number and can't get in touch with your parents."
"They didn't contact you either! Oh well! I guess they were worried about interrupting your work."
After hearing the whole story, Wang Lin was already furious, but the man held onto him tightly. He was afraid of hurting the man and never managed to break free.
"Xiao Lin, you're the smartest one here. Try your best to find a legal way to solve this. Don't do anything stupid out of anger."
"That's alright, I've got it under control. Let me go home first!"
"Okay, remember not to act impulsively. Village chief, we can't afford to provoke him."
"Got it."
The man saw Wang Lin calm down, and then he let go of his hand with relief.
When Wang Lin walked to his front door, he saw three or four menacingly large men sitting there. They must be here to bully his parents.
Wang Lin endured his anger and strode towards the front door, just as he was about to push it open, one of the big men reached out and grabbed him, threatening him viciously.
"Kid, there's nobody home. Get lost! Or else, you'll be sorry."
Wang Lin looked at the man quietly, letting out a soft chuckle. "This is my home, can't I come back"
The strong man was taken aback, then burst into laughter. "Brothers! We're alive! Grab this kid, I bet those two old geezers won't give up!"
The crowd stood up one after another, their fingers crackling as they smiled menacingly and approached Wang Lin step by step.
Wang Lin took out his phone, opened the camera app, placed it on the doorstep, and kept shouting, "This is a society governed by law! You dare to touch me"
"Haha, brothers, this kid is still lacking a beating from society! He's even recording. I'll catch this little punk in a while and delete the video right in front of him! Let him know the dangers of the world!"
"Haha, my big brother is right. For his future, we definitely have to help him!"
Wang Lin then quietly walked into the distance, hoping that he would continue to appear in the camera.
But just like that, he was instantly surrounded by a crowd. Wang Lin stood still, looking at these burly men with indifference, as if he were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Seeing that everyone was still slowly approaching him, he became impatient. Even though his appearance looked so frail, these people didn't rush over
"Could you please hurry up I'm in a rush." the open door, and as the middle-aged man looked up, he slowly walked into the office."Hello, are you Director Wu""Well, is there something""That's right, I want to publish some missing person news,...
