"Why hasn't dad come back yet?" I heard Yaya's voice before I entered the door.

"Back! Back!" Before Zhang Taiping could answer, the parrot standing inside the door shouted. Zhang Taiping also walked into the house.

Yaya rushed forward and was hugged by Zhang Taiping and asked: "Dad, where have you been?"

Zhang Taiping rubbed his nose against the little flower girl's pink face and replied: "Dad went to the mountains for a trip."

"What are you doing in the mountains?"

"Of course something happened." Zhang Taiping didn't say anything about the two more little monkeys. Wouldn't it be even more surprising for them to find out tomorrow? He took out a small bag from his pocket, which was full of picked thorns.

"What kind of fruit is this? It's very beautiful! It's the same as the fruit on the Four Seasons Tree. Can it be eaten?" Fan Ming pinched a red fruit and put it in front of his eyes and asked.

The four-season tree she is talking about is a small perennial landscape tree. Although the name is called the four-season tree, it is not really evergreen all year round, but is closely related to temperature changes. If it is placed outside in the natural environment, it will

The leaves will turn yellow in autumn and wither into bare stems in winter, but they can stay green all year round if kept indoors to protect them from the cold.

This kind of tree grows small and often has strange shapes. It is of great ornamental value, and it is not expensive and difficult to maintain. It is very popular with families with low consumption levels. It is often placed on the table or balcony at home, so most

It can remain evergreen all year round. This is probably where the name of the tree comes from.

What's more important is that this kind of ornamental tree will bear a tree full of fruits every few years, which are so red that it looks very pleasing to the eye. However, this kind of fruit is not edible and is only used as a carrier of seeds.

"This is a wild fruit, so naturally it can be eaten." Zhang Taiping nodded and said.

Although Yaya is much younger than Fan Ming, she does know more about this kind of thing that can only be seen in rural areas than Fan Ming. She has already picked up one and started eating it.

Fan Ming also put one in his mouth. It was indeed sour and sweet and very refreshing. He ate five pills in a row before stopping. His entire lips were dyed a red color mixed with gold.

After Yaya tasted a few pills, she asked Cai Yazhi: "Mom, is the meal ready? I'm almost starving to death!" As she spoke, she slightly pouted her mouth and touched her belly. In Zhang Taiping's eyes, it was...

As cute as she is.

Cai Yazhi said: "It's almost ready. I'll go over and take a look."

Then I heard the sound of her opening the lid of the pot, and a moment later a sweet smell came out.

Zhang Taiping asked curiously: "Are we steaming sweet potatoes tonight? But I remember that we didn't plant sweet potatoes at home this year. What about the steamed sweet potatoes?"

Xing Rushui nodded and said: "It's steamed sweet potatoes, but the sweet potatoes are not from our own home, but were sent over by Wang Min this afternoon."

Not long after, as the aroma became richer, Cai Yazhi brought out half a basin of sweet potatoes.

Yaya immediately shouted happily: "The red potato is ripe, the red potato is ripe, it's finally ready to eat."

Zhang Taiping put the little girl on the ground, and the little girl immediately ran over, but cleverly did not grab it directly with her hands. Instead, she found a chopstick and inserted a piece into it, but handed it to Zhang Taiping first.

Xiao Yu'er and Zhang Xiuxiu were also called over. "Why just give it to your dad?" Zhang Xiuxiu joked from the side.

The little girl's face turned red and Xing Rushui and someone else fucked her again.

Zhang Xiuxiu said with a smile: "People often say that a daughter is her father's caring little cotton-padded jacket. This sentence seems to be absolutely correct."

Sweet potatoes are a good thing for rural people. As for whether they are delicious or unpalatable, it is a matter of opinion. There is no definite answer. It is still good to eat less, especially the varieties with less water, steamed When cooked, it looks like chestnuts fried with sugar.

But rural people like it not because of how delicious it tastes, but for two other reasons. One is that sweet potatoes do not have high land requirements and are easy to survive. The most rare thing is that sweet potatoes have strong drought tolerance, whether in mountains or plains. It can all grow, and its yield is among the best among crops. It is the first choice crop to plant when natural disasters occur frequently.

However, with the overall improvement of living standards now, at least in the Guanzhong area, famine is rarely seen. People have sufficient warehouses and do not worry about running out of food. Therefore, planting sweet potatoes is not to increase production. It's for a rare treat.

Most of the sweet potatoes sent by Wang Min are large, and I don’t know much about them. His sweet potato varieties are round, and the whole sweet potato is like a ball with tails on both sides. The largest one is as big as a football. When steamed, it is very big. The ones were cut into small pieces, and the small ones were placed whole inside.

When eating sweet potatoes, Zhang Taiping saw Fan Ming eating very happily and couldn't help but want to tease her, so he looked at her with a smile.

Fan Ming felt uncomfortable, so she stopped and asked carefully: "Is it possible that eating too many sweet potatoes will cause any adverse reactions?"

Zhang Taiping nodded uncertainly.

Fan Ming's heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked: "What kind of adverse reaction is it?"

"That is, if you eat too much sweet potatoes, you will fart."

"Uh!" Not only Fan Ming stopped what he was doing, but also Xing Ru Shui Mu Hong Yu Fu Hong Tao and others. You must know that for a woman, especially a beautiful and even temperamental woman For example, if you suddenly fart in front of others, it will be embarrassing to death regardless of whether it smells bad or not.

Only two adults, Cai Yazhi and Zhang Xiuxiu, did not stop their movements because they had been through it and knew that although it was possible, it was not as exaggerated as Zhang Taiping said.

"Sister, aren't you afraid...are you not afraid?" Fan Ming asked Cai Yazhi.

Cai Yazhi smiled and glanced at Zhang Taiping and said to Fan Ming: "It's not as scary as your elder brother said. He is exaggerating to scare you."

Fan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, made a face at Zhang Taiping, and continued to eat the sweet potatoes in his hand, but he unknowingly put in a lot of speed. Obviously, the result Zhang Taiping just said was still given to her. Caused some trouble.

In the middle of eating, Fan Ming suddenly realized that something was missing. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly realized and asked: "Where is the eldest brother Wukong?"

Zhang Taiping said: "Outside."

"What are you doing outside? Why don't you come back even to eat?"

Zhang Taiping just smiled and said nothing and did not answer Fan Ming's question. Wouldn't it be better for her to find the answer to this question herself tomorrow.

The next day was another Saturday. The little girls didn't have to get up early to go to school, but several little girls and Fan Ming still got up early. The two extra little monkeys really surprised them.

Yaya ran up to Zhang Taiping and said happily: "Dad, two more monkeys are here."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "I found a wife for Wukong."

At this time, Wukong had already entered the courtyard with his two new companions. Although the two little monkeys did not escape, they looked a little wary and would probably run away into the mountains if something went wrong.

A little girl and an older girl in the yard took out some snacks and threw them to the two vigilant little monkeys. It took them a long time to calm down, and stopped five or six meters away from the door to eat.

Got snacks.

At noon, Zhang Taiping suddenly received a call from the old village chief.

By the time Zhang Taiping arrived at the village chief's house, all the troublemakers in the village had arrived.

"What happened?" Zhang Taiping saw that everyone's expressions were a little solemn, thinking that something big had happened, so he asked.

"Look at this first." The old village chief handed over a piece of paper.

Zhang Taiping took it in confusion and looked at it. It turned out to be a wanted warrant, and it also stated what the wanted criminal had committed, as well as the location and time of his current escape. Taken together, it seems that it is very likely that he has been near Nanshan in the past two days.

The main thing is that it said that the wanted criminal was a brutal man who escaped after killing more than a dozen people. It was for this reason that the atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy.

When the old village chief saw that Zhang Taiping had read the contents on the paper, he said: "Everyone is aware of the matter. It is very serious! If the fugitive escapes into our village and is not arrested or discovered in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

No one said anything. This is indeed not an easy matter. It cannot be said to be related to every issue in your life.

The old village chief added: "Let's discuss a regulation for the whole village to be alert."

Zhang Taiping wanted to say that this was not something worthy of such a big fanfare and effort, but he did not say it out loud. Everyone is in a different position and has a different way of thinking about the problem. After Zhang Taiping saw it himself, this

Being a fugitive is not a big deal at all. Even though he used to be a special forces soldier, that's because Zhang Taiping has extremely strong skills and is not afraid of wanted criminals at all. But the villagers don't have much force value, so they are naturally a little concerned about such things.

If you are worried, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

After a while of silence, everyone finally started talking.

The final result of the discussion could only be to notify the whole village to strengthen their vigilance, and there was no effective means of arrest. The signal for the discussion was that if anyone encountered the wanted criminal, they would shout, and everyone else would rush in with them.

In the past, people were arrested based on the large number of people. If they resisted, they were beaten to death with sticks. After all, they were murderers who had committed capital crimes. Killing them could be regarded as self-defense. Besides, there is no legal responsibility.

What a common word.

On his way back, Zhang Taiping heard the sound of a loudspeaker that spread throughout the village.

The whole village immediately became excited, and everyone went outside the house to report to the group. This was because the village was too quiet. The four people in it had all been born, old, sick and died, and no murder had ever occurred. But now I suddenly heard that

When a vicious murderer is about to escape into a mountain village, although it is not as intense as a drop of water falling into a frying pan, it is still like a pebble falling into a calm lake, creating thousands of waves.

"Did the village chief tell you about the murderer?" Cai Yazhi asked worriedly when Zhang Taiping returned home.

During this period when the whole village was on alert and in danger, the village chief called Zhang Taiping over again. Cai Yazhi was afraid that the village chief would send him to catch the murderer. Although she knew that Zhang Taiping was good at boxing and kicking, she still couldn't help but worry.

Zhang Taiping understood what she was thinking, smiled and consoled him: "The village chief didn't ask me to arrest the fugitives. That's what the police should do. I just went over to discuss the response strategy." Then he told me the results of the discussion.

The people inside the house.

"What should Yaya do? Should she go to school?" Cai Yazhi said. After Cai Yazhi was worried, her husband was worried about their daughter.

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "Don't go there for now. You can call the teacher at the school later to inform him." This decision was also made in consideration of the previous incident of retaliation against society in a big city.

A man picked up a knife and went to school to kill students. Who can be sure that this man would not do such a crazy thing when he was cornered?

When she heard that the murderer was coming, Yaya was too scared to speak loudly. The five-year-old child could already understand what happened when killing someone, and the difference between life and death, and had a certain respect for life and death.

.

After Cai Yazhi went over to make a phone call, she came to Zhang Taiping and asked in a low voice: "Dad, is the murderer coming?"

Zhang Taiping nodded slightly: "Yes, so stay at home and don't go out these days, you know?"

The little girl nodded obediently, then raised her head and asked innocently: "Why didn't Dad catch him?"

Zhang Taiping said without any taboo: "That's what a police officer should do. Dad is not a policeman."

"But the murderer is a bad person. Dad should help the police uncle catch him." The little girl said in confusion.

Zhang Taiping stroked the little girl's two long braids and said: "It's a good thing to be helpful, but you must do what you can. You can't put yourself in danger by helping others. That murderer is very vicious. Do you want to

Do you want dad to be hurt too?"

Although Zhang Taiping's inner thought was that if this man entered the village, he would definitely be allowed to enter vertically and exit horizontally, but this was not the case for the little girl. Instead, he consciously guided the education.

When the little girl heard that Zhang Taiping might be injured, she immediately changed her words and said, "Then Dad won't arrest him." The little girl was very protective of her father and immediately put the matter of helping the police uncle out of her mind.

Zhang Taiping smiled slightly. Maybe the little girl still doesn't understand the meaning of what he said, but education is not a quick thing that can be achieved overnight. It is a process that is slowly influenced by hearing and seeing.

Although Zhang Taiping was sure that as soon as this man entered the village and was discovered by him, he would be determined to have no chance of escaping and not to let him hurt his family, but to know oneself and the enemy, one still needs to know some information about this wanted criminal.

Then he asked Xing Rushui beside him: "Can you find out where this person came from?"

Xing Rushui said, "I'll give it a try." He turned around and walked out of the house to make a phone call.

After a while, he came back and told Zhang Taiping what he had learned, including the motive for the murder, which was much more detailed than what was described in the wanted order. Especially when the wanted criminal's origin and previous occupation were introduced, Zhang Taiping was especially

Pay attention for a while.

It turned out that he was still a special soldier. He had been abroad after being discharged from the army and was suspected of being a mercenary. After returning home, he was recognized and suddenly went into a rage and killed several people. Later, during the escape and pursuit, he killed several policemen and policemen one after another.

Citizens.

After hearing this, Zhang Taiping looked thoughtful and attentive.
