Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 46 Ask
"They're not the police." As soon as he sent the two people away, Lao Zhang turned to look at Li Heng and said, frowning at the same time.

"How do you know? Didn't you see their documents?"

Lao Zhang didn't explain anything, just shook his head and said: "It seems that the matter is a bit troublesome, I hope they can find out as soon as possible, alas, don't make any fools out of it."

Li Heng glanced at the stationmaster Zhang beside him, and didn't continue to ask any more questions. This old boy's sense of smell is still very keen, and he is not an easy person to guess their identities just from the questions they ask.

Unexpectedly, a small scrap yard is still Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

When it was time for dinner after get off work in the afternoon, everyone's mood had basically recovered, and it was no longer like at noon when no one said anything, and the whole cafeteria only had the sound of snoring and snoring.

In the afternoon, the two of them discussed a duty schedule. Two people are on duty at the station every day, and each person is given a daily subsidy of [-] cents.

At the beginning, everyone was still reluctant. After all, someone just died here. It doesn’t matter if there are many people working during the day. No one wants to stay here in the dead of night.

But as soon as he heard that there was a subsidy of five cents a day, good guy, someone jumped out and said that he covered it all.

Anyway, it's just another place to sleep, and you can get money, so why not do it.

If you want to pay for it all, except for the two of them and a few people from the cooking team, the remaining [-] people work in pairs, and they can only take two shifts a month at most.

But a dime is a dime, and you can buy a catty of coarse grains.

This money has to be paid by the scrap yard itself, the street office will not give this money, and there is no such budget.

Early in the morning, two people died one after another. This incident has long been rumored all over the city.

When Li Heng returned to the courtyard, the people in the courtyard gathered together to discuss this matter.

Seeing him coming back, they all leaned over to ask him again.

Anyway, no one explained whether it was confidential or not, so Li Heng told everyone what he knew to satisfy their curiosity.

As soon as he sent everyone away and returned to the house, He Yuzhu walked in with a bottle of wine.

"Brother Erheng, are you okay tonight? Let's have a drink, two brothers?"

"Sure, I happen to be fine." He was still having a headache as to how to pass the long night, when the person who handed the pillow came.

"You still have the peanuts and melon seeds you gave Kang that day, just right. By the way, Zhuzi, did Xu Damao go to the countryside today?"

"Yeah, I think he and his master left early in the morning with the projection equipment on their backs."

While speaking, He Yuzhu's eyes showed a hint of envy.

He also wants to learn from others when playing movies, but unfortunately, they only have a junior high school education level, and he, a person who has not graduated from junior high school, is not uncommon to watch.

"Why, you still envy Xu Damao."

"Hey, show a movie, who doesn't want to go."

"Actually, I'd say it's better to be a cook. You won't be hungry at any time."

"Brother Erheng, you are right. No one can be so hungry that the cook is hungry. That's what my father told me when he taught me how to cook." He Yuzhu said with a naive smile.

"Come on Erheng brother, do it."

"Dry"

"Zhuzi, you haven't become a regular yet, have you?"

"No, I'm still an apprentice, but our squad leader said that I should be able to become a regular in the second half of this year."

"Then I have to congratulate you in advance."

"Congratulations, not sure."

"Don't worry, since your squad leader has said that, I guess it's about the same, otherwise he wouldn't talk nonsense."

"hey-hey"

After becoming a full-time employee, he can get a salary of more than 20 yuan, so that life for him and his sister will be much easier.

People say that they have had three rounds of drinking, but they were interrupted after only two drinks. Seeing Fang Xiaoya who lifted the curtain and walked in, Li Heng even forgot to speak.

He Yuzhu looked at the person who just came in, then at Li Heng, and said with a smile: "Brother Erheng, I'll go there first if you have guests here, and we two will have a drink some other day."

"Ah? Oh, okay, then you go first."

Seeing He Yuzhu go out, Fang Xiaoya immediately closed the door.

"You're crazy, why close the door?"

"Tell you something, worrying that others will hear."

She closed the door very well, the third master and third mother across the door, as well as the Liu family couple in the upside-down room, almost didn't come to listen to the wall.

"No, let's talk about things. If you close the door, we are alone, will you still marry or not?"

"Didn't I tell you not to marry?"

Well, you have the final say.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, tell me, and prepare to tell me something."

"Is the guard at your scrap yard you..."

Fang Xiaoya stared closely at Li Heng's eyes, lowered her voice and asked word by word what she had been thinking about today.

"What are you thinking?" Li Heng interrupted her without waiting for her to finish speaking.

"I can tell you clearly that it has nothing to do with me."

"Isn't he the same as the one who caused the bombing last year? I think someone has come to pick up this case today, so we don't need to investigate. By the way, one person died this morning, don't you know?"

"Well, I heard that he is a bicycle repairer."

"Yes, both cases were taken by others."

"Just pick it up, you don't have to worry about it." Li Heng grabbed two peanuts from the plate, rubbed the skin off and threw it into his mouth.

"If you want to eat, take it yourself, don't you still wait for me to feed you?"

"Oh, I'm telling you the truth."

His casual attitude made Fang Xiaoya a little anxious.

"I know what you want to say, but it really has nothing to do with me. If you want to say something about it, he is the guard of our unit. I played a few games of chess with him after get off work yesterday, and that's it."

Seeing Li Heng's calm expression when he spoke, Fang Xiaoya was a little puzzled, did she really guess wrong?

"But why has he been fine all the time, but something happened to him as soon as you came back?"

"Hey, Comrade Fang Xiaoya, I don't know how to answer what you said. It's been a month since I've been back. Don't you plan to take all the people who died abnormally in the entire Forty-Nine City within this month? Put it on my head, and I won’t be killed unjustly.”

Li Heng almost didn't jump up, good guy, there is still such a calculation, although he did know about Lao Zheng's death and knew some unknown inside stories, but the calculation is not based on this calculation.

Now no matter who he is, he can't tell the truth, let alone this little girl's film.

Let her know the truth, it is to harm her.

"I said Fang Xiaoya, since the case is no longer under your control, you should stop worrying about it and do your job well."

"Of course I know, but people are a little worried about you!"
