The western outskirts of Shaoyang.

On the edge of the field in the village, a small but dusty puppy ran unsteadily on the ridge.

The man following behind, wearing gray clothes, carried a wooden barrel in both hands, and walked into the field very easily.

"Uncle Lin, I brought the water here."

The man handed the two wooden barrels to the uncle standing in the concrete field, rolled up his trousers, and stepped on the field without hesitation.

He took a wooden spoon from the uncle, scooped up water, and poured it on the vegetable field next to him.So repeated, again and again.

After the entire vegetable field was watered, the two had time to sit down on the ridge.

The little dog that had been jumping around all the time, saw its owner sitting down, jumped up and pounced on him.

The man didn't dislike the puppy's dirtyness, and directly hugged him into his arms.

The uncle next to him had wrinkles all over his face, but he still looked tough when he smiled, "Xiao Wu, your dog is quite clever!"

The man explained, "I've been raising him since I was a child. He listens to people, but it's a bit noisy, but it's good to be able to keep me company."

He took out a paper bag from his pocket, poured out a few broad beans, and raised his hand to the puppy, "Cun Nail, come!"

The whole head of the three-inch nail was buried in Old Dog Wu's hand, and he began to eat "bajibaji".

Wu Laogou fed it with one hand, opened the bag with the other hand, held it up to the uncle, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you can also have some. I bought this at the market this morning. It is very fragrant."

Uncle Lin was not too polite, he really took out a few, and slowly opened them with his calloused fingers to eat.

"Xiao Wu, I didn't expect you to love this puppy."

"It has been with me since I was a child and has traveled to many places. To put it bluntly, it is also my family. I don't have any lofty ideals. I just think that I can live in peace and joy, and it will be fine."

When Uncle Lin heard the words, he also sighed with emotion, "Yes, people, this is the only way to live this life."

After a short pause, he said again: "My poor son is about the same age as you, but he just didn't survive."

Old Dog Wu raised his eyes when he heard the words, but he didn't turn around, and continued to feed Sancunnail with broad beans with his head down.

He seemed to ask inadvertently, "Uncle, how did your son die? How can you say that you are gone when you are alone?"

"Hey!" Uncle Lin sighed.

Apart from working in the fields, he was relatively silent with his wife when he returned home.

Since the death of his son, his wife has been crying all day long, and he looks aggrieved, but has nothing to say.

Now, Old Dog Wu asked about it, but he found a place to complain.He said very sadly, "They all said that when they were digging coal, the coal mine collapsed and crushed people to death."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Uncle Lin's eyes filled with tears.

"But, you said, why can't even find the body of the person who was crushed to death by the coal mine? In the end, even under the tombstone erected for him, there was only such a piece of clothing. My son... What a miserable life!"

After eating the three-inch nails, Old Dog Wu reached out and rubbed its head, and the puppy continued to sleep in his arms.

Wu Laogou turned around and asked the old man: "Uncle Lin, something is obviously wrong with this matter. Even if it is pressed under the ground by coal mines, people can always be dug out. If their mines are willing to dig, we will do it ourselves." Go dig the assembly. How can you not even find anyone?"

Uncle Lin rubbed the corner of his eyes with the back of his hand, "That's what we said at the beginning. But, he just insisted that the person is gone. He didn't want to provide us with a place to look for. There is a big man behind Boss Lu. Officer, we can't afford to provoke you."

"It's unreasonable. This matter of collusion between the government and the people is really indispensable in any dynasty."

"Hey. The official is so straight, he said that he paid compensation, and that's it. We don't know where to shout if we are wronged."

"Who is the man behind the coal mine boss, uncle, do you know?"

"I know. Boss Lu is using his reputation to swindle outside all day long. Everyone here has heard of it."

Uncle Lin lowered his voice, and said to him, "It's a senior official in the provincial capital. If you say it's a social official with the outside world, that has great power!"

"Communication officer? But also surnamed Lu?" Wu Laogou asked pretending not to know.

Uncle Lin nodded desperately, "That's right, the surname is Lu, whatever it is, it's called..."

"But it's called Lu Jianxun?"

Uncle Lin clapped his hands together, "Ah yes, that's the name. I heard it's very famous!"

Wu Laogou showed disdain, "So it's that dog official!"

Uncle Lin was puzzled, "What? Xiao Wu, have you heard of this person's name?"

"Uncle, you don't know. This person usually bullies the good and fears the evil. He is very good at flattering people, selfish, and completely disregarding the life and death of the people. When I stayed in Jincheng, I heard people talk about it behind their backs. However, I also heard that there is a person on the official road who is hostile to this Lu Jianxun. That person is called Zhang Qishan, and everyone in Jincheng calls him the Great Buddha Zhang. This person has a good reputation. I heard that he always seeks blessings for the people. The people praised him as a good man."

"I didn't expect that there are such good officials in the officialdom now?"

"Uncle, I have met Zhang Qishan for a few times. He is indeed a good person with a kind heart for the people. I think you might as well sue him for your matter. Maybe he can help you decide. Get your son back."

When Uncle Lin heard the words, he was overjoyed at first, but then he showed sadness.

"You said that having such a good official is a blessing to the common people. However, an old man like me has never even left Shaoyang in his life. How can he go to Jincheng to sue the Great Buddha?"

"Uncle, you are lucky. I heard that the Great Buddha is in Shaoyang recently. Moreover, people in the road are saying that he came to investigate because of the explosion of the oil field in the east. I think he I will definitely stay here in Shaoyang for a while, why don't I take you to find him. We are dead horses as living horse doctors, if there is really no hope, it is not a loss."

The explosion in the oil field in the east has spread throughout Shaoyang in the past two days. Even people in the fields like Uncle Lin have heard it from big guys when they were wandering around the village.

Although the person is dead, at least he has to get the body back, otherwise he will be restless in his heart for the rest of his life.

Since there was such an opportunity, the old man also wanted to give it a try, so he patted his legs and agreed immediately. "Xiao Wu, I will trouble you then."

Old Dog Wu smiled, "Uncle Lin, don't be polite to me."

……

Two days later, Old Dog Wu really took Uncle Lin to meet Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan's injury is still not healed. Originally, Er Yuehong didn't allow him to leave the hospital, but Zhang Qishan really had to intervene in this matter, so he could only be discharged from the hospital for a day and returned to the stronghold of the Ministry of Public Security.

Er Yuehong accompanied him into the office, and helped him to sit down on the chair.

Ba Ye, who came in after them, leaned back on the bench, grabbed an apple on the table, and gnawed it into his mouth.

Er Yuehong turned her head and glanced at him coldly, "Baye, go and let them pour water in!"

Ba Ye was dumbfounded, "Huh?"

"Let them pour water in!" After Er Yuehong said, she turned her head, lowered her eyes and asked Zhang Qishan, "How do you feel?"

Zhang Qishan shook his head with a smile.Recently, their daughter-in-law seems to be taking care of a little too much.However, he was quite happy.

"If the wound hurts, just say it. Don't hold on."

Zhang Qishan nodded obediently.

This scene happened to be seen by the Eighth Master who came back, and the Eighth Master walked over with a "tsk tsk tsk", "Hey, you are trying to blind my eyes."

Er Yuehong: "Shut up."

On the contrary, the eighth master did not shut up, turned to face Zhang Qishan, and continued: "Buddha, I said that your injury is really worth it. You can see how kind the second master has been to you since you were injured. You used to be jealous He leaned closer to him, and he didn't even look at you, but these two days, he really wanted to tie you to his belt..."

Before she finished speaking, Er Yuehong turned her head to stare at him, but said nothing.

He himself felt strange.

When he first came to this world, the first thing he saw was Zhang Qishan.Although strange, but not contradictory.The only one who feels the shock is this guy, damn it, always trying to bend him.

However, gradually, he himself took it for granted.

……

Seeing that Er Yuehong's expression was not quite right, Zhang Qishan frowned and shook his head at Ba Ye.Ba Ye had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Qishan said to the outside: "Come in."

Adjutant Zhang pushed the door open and entered, "Lord Buddha, Old Wu brought you here."

"Let them in."

Adjutant Zhang pushed the door open to let the people behind him in.

Zhang Qishan leaned back on the chair, and saw two people walking in from the door, one was Old Dog Wu whom he knew well on weekdays, and the other was a white-haired old man.

The old man walked into the door, looked around, saw Zhang Qishan sitting in the middle, turned his head to look at Old Dog Wu, saw him nodding, and boldly walked in front of Zhang Qishan.

He bent his waist and hunched his back and called out, "Master."

Zhang Qishan pointed to the bench next to him, "Mr., please sit down."

Uncle Lin waved his hand, "No need, old man, I'll just stand."

Wu Laogou put the three-inch nail in his arms on the ground, and pulled Uncle Lin's arm, "Uncle Lin, it's okay, sit down."

Uncle Lin hesitated for a moment, but Old Dog Wu dragged him to the long chair and sat down opposite Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan: "Uncle Lin, Mr. Wu has already told us about the matter. Don't worry, if there is any doubt about this matter, we will take over. Don't worry, just tell us what you know."

Uncle Lin was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Guan. Thank you."

"They all call me Buddha. If Uncle Lin doesn't mind, just call me Buddha. Don't be an official. We won't do this."

Uncle Lin looked at the big Buddha and thought to himself, this man is really a good official.
