Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

The night slowly spread like ink, and the whole village seemed to be covered with a thin veil. The faint moonlight was like silver light falling on the earth, adding a bit of tranquility and serenity to this originally quiet and peaceful village. However, this tranquility was broken by a figure - Xu Damao appeared at the entrance of the village stealthily and tiptoeing.

He did not go straight to his own house as usual, but hurriedly walked towards Zhang San's house with a clear goal. At this moment, Zhang San and his wife were sitting opposite each other at the table, and they were talking about their experiences and discoveries during the day. Suddenly, a faint sound came into his ears, as if someone was approaching the door cautiously. Then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Zhang San became alert and stood up to open the door. When he saw that the person standing outside the door was Xu Damao, who was supposed to come back tomorrow, he couldn't help but look surprised. "Xu Damao, why are you here at this time? Didn't you say you would be back tomorrow?" Zhang San asked suspiciously. Xu Damao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, then he squeezed into the house and said in a low voice: "I came back early, because I have something important to discuss with you two." After that, he looked around deliberately, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

Zhang San and his wife exchanged glances, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. Zhang San quickly reached out and pulled a chair, asking Xu Damao to sit down, and then asked: "What's going on? So mysterious?" His words revealed his curiosity and confusion about Xu Damao's behavior.

Xu Damao did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned the topic to Zhang San and asked, "How is the progress of your surveillance these past two days? Have you found anything new?"

Zhang San couldn't help but sigh heavily upon hearing this, and then he started to complain: "Oh my god, don't mention it! Yesterday, I was watching for a whole day, but I got nothing. I was thinking I could have a good rest after returning home, but who would have thought that I would be ambushed on the way, hit on the back of the head with a club, and all the money in my pocket was robbed."

After saying this, Zhang San subconsciously reached out and rubbed the back of his head, as if the pain there was still unbearable. Standing next to him, Zhang San's wife also had a worried look on her face.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao frowned and asked, "So, do you know who did this?"

Zhang San shook his head helplessly, revealing a bit of hesitation and uncertainty in his words: "Well... I really don't know. But, in my opinion, this matter is probably related to Zheng's family. Think about it, I kept a close eye on her family yesterday, and in the evening, I encountered such a disaster. Isn't this the most obvious thing?"

After hearing this, Xu Damao also fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked again: "If that's the case, what are your plans next?" Zhang San sighed and said: "What else can I do? I have to call the police first, and then come back to discuss it with you. This matter can't just be let go like this."

Xu Damao nodded in agreement. He then told Zhang San and his wife about his situation: "I also went to inquire about Zheng Niang's family today. Guess what happened? I found that the man appeared again and talked to Zheng Niang's father for a long time."

Zhang San and his wife were surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect Xu Damao had also discovered this man and seemed to know some inside information.

"Who is that man? Why is he so familiar with Zheng's family?" Zhang San asked impatiently.

Xu Damao shook his head slowly, with an indescribable expression on his face, as if he knew a shocking secret. He lowered his voice, with a hint of mystery in his tone: "To be honest, even I don't know who that person is."

At this point, Xu Damao suddenly stopped talking, his eyes fixed on Zhang San and his wife, like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity, as if silently observing and expecting their response.

Zhang San and his wife looked at each other, their eyes clearly reflecting the shock and fear in their hearts. They had never expected that a seemingly simple and ordinary matter would become so complicated and even involve the top priority of Zheng Niang's family. Zhang San couldn't help but look anxious and asked impatiently: "So how should we deal with it now?"

Faced with this sudden change, Xu Damao fell into deep thought. After a moment, he raised his head and answered with a firm gaze: "The most urgent task at present is to continue to inquire about the news in depth and make sure to find out the true identity of this man and his specific connection with Zheng Niang's family. At the same time, we must always remain vigilant and closely monitor Zheng Niang's every move, not missing any clues, so as to timely understand the truth of their so-called "big event". Only by doing so can we ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Zhang San and his wife nodded in agreement. They knew that this matter had exceeded their expectations and had to be handled more carefully.
