A bicycle costs tens of dollars over a hundred dollars, and it is the most valuable item in their home. If this thing is lost, she will be heartbroken.

Qiao Wanyue shook her head: "I didn't see the bicycle."

People who have been to the sorghum field thought about it carefully and found that they did not see any bicycles. Some people speculated: "Did the village chief get robbed?"

Bicycles are relatively valuable items in this day and age. When you marry a wife, her family will ask for a new bicycle, and you might actually encounter a car thief.

Others also agreed, thinking that the village chief had encountered a car robber. The village chief's wife cried even more fiercely. People were injured and her bicycle was stolen. Her family suffered a lot this time.

"Don't cry. Fortunately, the village chief is fine. This is a great blessing among misfortunes." Others comforted him.

Xia Lan apologized: "Auntie, I'm sorry. The village chief was injured because of my family's affairs and lost his bicycle. Auntie, don't worry, I recognize the money, and I will pay it back to you when I make money at work."

Someone pinched Xia Lan's arm from behind. When she turned around, she realized that her parents had arrived at some unknown time. It was her mother who pinched her just now.

Seeing her turn back, Xia's mother glared at her: "You didn't steal the village chief's bicycle, so what can you do?"

Hearing that their grandson was gone, the old couple hurried to Qiao's house, but found no one. They guessed that they might have come to the village chief's house, so they rushed over in a hurry. Who knew that as soon as they entered, they heard their daughter say this, but The Xia family's parents were so angry.

My daughter is so careless.

"No one wants this to happen, and it's not Lanlan's fault. Don't worry, I won't let Lanlan lose money." The village chief's wife is also a sensible person. Although she feels sorry for her husband and the bicycle, she has no intention of making them lose money.

They are all from the same village, and her husband is the village chief. If she really has to pay compensation, the impact will be bad if word spreads.

Xia's parents breathed a sigh of relief, and Xia's father also stood up and made a fool of himself: "No matter how you say it, the village chief was injured because he was trying to help Lan Lan. Even if she is not allowed to compensate, she will have to buy a few kilograms of meat tomorrow." The village chief replenishes his body."

I was worried that the village chief would wear small shoes for their family in the future, so I wanted to show that I would not pay any compensation.

Qiao Wanyue looked at Xia's father. He looked a bit like Brother Xia. They both had white eyes and heavy eyebrows. They looked a bit stubborn and had many evil intentions.

As soon as her thoughts fell, she saw the village chief on the bed moving slightly. She raised her eyebrows slightly: "The village chief is awake."

Everyone's attention immediately turned to the village chief. The village chief slowly opened his eyes and saw so many people gathered around the house. He was a little confused, as if he didn't know what was going on. Everyone stared at the village chief with anger. Don't dare to take a breath.

Severe pain came from his abdomen, which slowly reminded him of what happened before he fell into coma. He had lost a lot of blood, so he opened his mouth but could not make a sound.

Qiao Wanyue noticed that the village chief had a dry mouth and reminded the village chief's wife: "The village chief has lost a lot of blood. Get him some water."

When the village chief's wife heard this, she quickly called her son to get some water. The village chief's throat was indeed dry. Seeing that Qiao Wanyue knew that he needed to drink water, she stopped opening her mouth and waited for water to moisten her throat.

The village chief's son quickly brought half a bowl of water and thoughtfully provided a small spoon. The village chief's wife fed him two sips, and he waved his hand to express that he didn't want to drink anymore.

Just when the village chief's wife wanted to ask him what happened, the village chief said first: "How is the girl?" This confused everyone: "What girl is it? When we went to lift you, , apart from Lan Lan and Wanyue, I didn’t see anyone else.”

I don’t know who said: “Village Chief, did you come across something unclean at night?”

Everyone felt chills running down their spines, especially Xia's mother, who suddenly shivered when she thought that Kun Kun was gone.

He tugged at the corner of Xia Lan's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Has Kun Kun been buried? You didn't cry on him, did you?"

Xia Lan didn't expect that her mother didn't even say a word of concern, but thought it was Kun Kun who did something bad. Her eyes were full of sadness.

When Qiao Wanyue heard the village chief's words, her eyes flashed: "Village Chief, can you tell me specifically what happened?"

When the village chief saw that no one saw the girl, he felt strange. Even if something happened to someone, there must be a body, right?
He said worriedly: "On my way back, I heard someone calling for help in the sorghum field, so I went in to take a look. I saw a man bullying a little girl. I rushed to save him, but the little girl ran away. I didn't fight him later. I passed that man and was pricked by him with something. I didn't feel any pain at first, but later I found bleeding on my stomach, and then I realized that he had stabbed me with a knife. There was a lot of bleeding. I originally wanted to go back and ask for help, but then I heard a noise. Guessing that he might be back again, I lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead. He kicked me so that I didn't dare to move, and then I really fainted."

He frowned and thought: "You haven't seen the girl. I guess she escaped."

Everyone was frightened when they heard this. It was estimated that the girl ran away or was caught. He did not dare to stay longer, so he left without carefully checking whether the village chief was dead.

"He wanted to kill the village chief. Fortunately, the village chief was smart."

"My mother, there is a murderer here. It's so scary."

Qiao Wanyue was thinking about whether the girl had escaped: "Which one of you will go to town together to report the crime?"

She was not sure who had injured the village chief, and investigating at night would easily damage the scene, so she decided to report the crime at dawn. Now that the life of another person was at stake, she could not delay.

"It's so late at night, what kind of case are you reporting? The police are probably off duty, so it would be in vain if you go."

"That's right, what's the point of having the police come in the middle of the night? Don't worry about it. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

Everyone raised objections. No one was in favor of reporting a crime at night. First, they felt that no one wanted to go through all the trouble. Second, they felt that nothing could be seen in the dark at night, and the case would not be solved even if they came.

Qiao Wanyue frowned: "What if that girl didn't run away? If you report the crime now, you might be able to save someone's life. The girl who appeared near the village must be from a nearby village, and maybe she's a relative of one of you."

Everyone was silenced by Qiao Wanyue's words, but no one took the initiative to come forward to report the crime. Normally, they were all lying in bed and asleep at this time. Who wanted to run back and forth to the town?

This is not a matter of one or two steps, it is a matter of ten miles.

Seeing that everyone was still motionless, the village chief said: "Wanyue is right. If people's lives are at stake, we must report the crime quickly. This matter cannot be delayed."

As soon as he spoke, the pain in his abdomen became more obvious. He took a breath and said, "Which of you will report the crime? When the public grain is paid at the end of the year, I will go and tell the boss that one acre of land will be paid less than two kilograms of grain."
