Shuikou Village was remote and didn't have many tourist resources. After entering the 21st century, the young people in the village started to go out to work. Soon after, the elders also left the mountains to work in the big cities to earn money. Nowadays, life in the village was getting better day by day. The villagers' knowledge was also increasing day by day. Even their vigilance had changed drastically.
In particular, Shuikou Village was a village close to a military base. Every year, the villagers would have countless information security conferences. In terms of vigilance, the villagers in Shuikou Village were even more vigilant than the residents in town.
Looking at the two strangers who suddenly came to the village to ask about people, Uncle Hai, who was being questioned, stared at the two strangers with vigilance and directly replied, "I don't know."
Hongmei, there were many names in the village: Hongmei, Xuemei, Qiumei … There were many of them. The older generation liked to give names that sounded good, but they didn't know many words. They would give names that sounded good.
There were many names like Mei, Hongmei, Wen, and Li.
Moreover, they knew that it wasn't a good thing for strangers to come into the village to ask about people. They had to be vigilant at all times and couldn't speak carelessly. Carelessly speaking would harm people. If they weren't careful, they would become traitors.
Most of the villagers who stayed behind were old. They had worked in the fields for their entire lives. They didn't like outsiders, and they didn't like strangers intruding into their lives. Without waiting for the strangers to finish, Uncle Hai said stiffly, "Hurry up and leave. There's no one in our village called Hongmei. Go to the neighboring village and ask."
"Big Brother, we're here to look for our former comrades. Think about it again. Is there a woman who's our age in the village who used to be a soldier? I'm forty-three today. This is my wife. "
The stranger who asked the question was well-dressed. He was wearing a suit and black leather shoes. He even had a briefcase in his hand. He looked like an intellectual.
His wife, on the other hand, was wearing a dark red velvet jumpsuit and a thin, milky white sweater. She had a gentle temperament, just like a teacher.
Uncle Hai didn't care. Without even thinking, he picked up the hoe and walked out of the paddy field. He casually plucked the two leeches that were sucking on his calf and used the hoe in his hand to cut them in half. Blood flowed from the edge of the field into the green grass. The two halves of the leeches were still twisting and struggling.
The middle-aged woman was frightened and took a step back. Her eyes revealed a look of disgust.
When Uncle Hai saw this, he snorted and picked up the hoe again. He walked barefooted through the mud and stopped talking to the two of them.
What comrade-in-arms? Did he think that they had never seen a comrade-in-arms before?
A few days ago, a group of soldiers on a long training course ran past their village.
The villagers' unwillingness to cooperate made the two people, who had finally found them, a little anxious. The old man had instructed the husband and wife to find out Hong Mei's residence and personal information. They could not return empty-handed.
Since this person couldn't do it, he would just have to find someone else.
"Find a woman and give her some money." The middle-aged woman came up with an idea. Money could make the devil turn millstones. She did not believe that there were no peasant women in such a remote and desolate place.
There were definitely people who were greedy for money. However, they had been alerted by the various security conferences in the army, especially when they saw that some news had been leaked. Even if it was just a small piece of news, as long as it was related to the army, there was no difference between big and small. If they were not careful, they would be sentenced or something. Even if they were greedy for money, they knew that it would be useless if they did not have the life to spend it.
