HR Director Alpha and her White Painter

- Hearing that someone died in the village, Uncle Bai Yong was the first to rush out of the RV.

The people in the car looked at each other with panic in their eyes.

Bai Mu was timid, shrank his head in fear, and tightly held Jiang Ruo's hand beside him.

Jiang Ruo frowned, and asked Rick softly, "What's going on?"

"I heard that an old man fell ill and died before he could be rescued. His family was arguing, and I don't know exactly what happened."

Seeing more and more crowds of onlookers, completely blocking the entrance of the village, everyone discussed and prepared to get out of the car and walk.

Bai Mu followed everyone cautiously in the crowd, and immediately saw Bai Yong shouting loudly with his face flushed, arguing fiercely with several middle-aged people.

Li Pingmei, who hadn't seen her for a long time, sat on the ground with disheveled hair and wept miserably. After careful observation, there were clearly several hideous slap marks on her cheeks and cheeks.

Bai Mu was shocked, his face turned pale.

She never thought that Li Pingmei, who was exquisite in every aspect in her heart, would be treated so cruelly by the villagers.

Jiang Ruo raised her brows, handed the white curtain to Zheng Lan, and rushed into the bustling crowd. After listening for a long time, she finally figured it out: it turned out that Li Pingmei's father-in-law died, and his family blamed Li Pingmei for being hard-edged. Ke killed her husband, and also her young father-in-law who was only 68 years old.Her mother-in-law and several uncles of her husband's family beat her severely and threatened to send her to the police station.

Bai Yong is an old man in Niuwu Village, and his words usually have some weight, but the relatives of Li Ping and Meifu's family are all unscrupulous vulgar people, and they quarreled with him angrily, and I don't know who started it first. They moved their hands, and after a while, they wrestled together.

Jiang Ruo yelled—Rick, and he rushed in like a tiger. The young man had the strength of his arms, and after being hit on his arm a few times, he pulled away the people in the scuffle.

Bai Yong's anger was still lingering, and he couldn't contain his anger. At this time, he only heard the sirens in the distance. A small Santana police car was driving outside, and two police officers in neat uniforms stepped out of the police car.

Since ancient times, people are afraid of officials, and unruly people are no exception.

The leading police officer, Miao, glanced at the giant RV parked at the entrance of the village, and his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. Then he walked into the crowd that separated automatically, and took out his notebook to understand the situation.

He looked around with sharp eyes. The relatives of Li Pingmei's husband's family gritted their teeth and dared not speak. Li Pingmei's mother-in-law Diao Dachun fell on the ground and cried loudly. Sobbing, the resentful look in the eyes made people feel cold and numb.

Presumably Li Pingmei lived in such a family where men are superior to women and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is bad, she must have suffered a lot.

Officer Miao knew the local customs well, so he calmed down a few words and gave a righteous warning, then turned to Rick and asked in a deep voice, "Are you from out of town?"

"Yes officer." Rick answered seriously, tugging on the torn sleeve of his jacket.

Officer Miao nodded noncommittally, then waved his hand, and said loudly, "We will let the county's forensic doctor identify the real cause of Uncle Li's death later, and we will give you a clear explanation. Please believe in science. , Believe in the government, and stop using feudal superstitions from the old society to confuse the public, otherwise, you will be at your own peril!"

After he finished speaking, he walked over to Li Pingmei, saw the scar on her face, sighed, leaned over and asked, "Auntie, do you need to take you to the hospital?"

"No...no need." Li Pingmei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her trembling lips were black and purple.

"Okay." Police officer Miao pondered for a while, then asked, "Do you want to hold those who beat you accountable?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a few middle-aged men with terrified faces not far away.

Li Pingmei's eyes filled with tears seemed to lose focus, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Diao Dachun got angry from it, and yelled cursing, using vicious words such as "broom star" and "pickled goods" one after another.

"enough!"

Following the sound of a young male voice in the voice-changing period, it was actually Bai Ze who walked over with trembling hands, to everyone's surprise.

He stood beside Li Pingmei firmly, his eyes filled with injustice and stubbornness, he fixedly looked at Officer Miao, and said suddenly, "Officer, please uphold justice."

Thin and tall and thin body seems to be able to fall if the wind blows.

Officer Miao was stunned for a few seconds, and Diao Dachun burst into tears, pointing at Bai Yong's family and cursing angrily.

Ge Lian ran over angrily and slapped his son on the forehead, saying bitterly, "Where did you commit evil, you son of a bitch! It's none of your business! Can you lose your mind?"

Bai Ze gritted his teeth, ignored his mother's beating, and looked at Officer Miao persistently.

Officer Miao, who was suffering from a headache, went to ask Li Pingmei again, but she still kept her head down and said nothing, half of her face was covered by her scattered hair, and she couldn't see any expression.

"Xiao Liu, turn the beatings to the police station, let's go!"

Police Officer Miao—Given the order, Officer Xiao Liu took out his electric baton, pointed at the white-faced, bewildered middle-aged men, and escorted them into the police car.

Diao Dachun grabbed the door of the police car and rolled all over the floor. Officer Miao solemnly warned her, and it was not until he took out the handcuffs that Diao Dachun gave up unwillingly.

As the police car drove away, the surrounding villagers dispersed.

Bai Yong wanted to pull Li Pingmei up, but Ge Lian furiously pushed him away; she refused desperately, and while thinking about vixen, drove her man far away, even bringing Bai Ze with her. The ears were twisted hard a few times.

- A farce broke up immediately.

Jiang Ruo watched coldly without saying a word, frowning her brows as if aware of it.

The soft-hearted Bai Mu helped Li Pingmei who was still sitting on the ground, and comforted her softly, "Auntie, come back to have dinner with us."

With pointed ears, Ge Lian looked over sullenly.

Jiang Ruo ignored her, and said, "Now that you stay at your husband's house in this situation, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome."

Only then did Li Pingmei twitch her nose and nodded, and staggered back with everyone.

Seeing Jiang Ruo defending Li Pingmei so much, Ge Lian sighed and stomped her feet, but finally dared not say anything.

At night, the black clouds collapsed, and the starry night came.

On the table of the Eight Immortals in the main hall of Bai Yong's house, two tables are combined into one table, which is able to accommodate so many people.

Qin Fang and William's mood was not affected much, and the couple swiped their mobile phones to scan Douyin; Wang Jie, Zhao Shanshan and others played with their phones with their heads down before dinner.

Ge Lian, who took Jiang Ruo's big red envelope, was a lot more honest. In addition, she asked for others, and tried her best to put all the delicious food and drink at home.

The table is full of dishes, both meat and vegetarian, fatty fish and meat, a dazzling array, it looks very rich.

Everyone was halfway through eating, only to see two uninvited guests come uninvited.

The village party secretary Zhao Dahai and a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in carrying two catties of old wine.

Bai Yong and Li Pingmei stood up to say hello, and then gave a brief introduction to everyone.

The caravan was able to enter Niuwu Village, thanks to the convenience of the village party secretary Zhao Dahai, who sent someone to dismantle the overhead road; the middle-aged man in his 40s, named Lu Yingguang, had a square face and a lovely smile. Ju, it is said that he is the timber owner in the town, he is friendly, although he earns money, he takes good care of the villagers, and his reputation is really good.

He also has an older brother named Lu Yingneng, who specializes in purchasing tea and has a very large business. It is said that he has become a well-known million-dollar household in the town ten years earlier.

—The group ate and drank. It was almost 9 o'clock in the evening. Li Pingmei apologized, saying that she went home to take care of the children.

Although she has a bad relationship with her husband's family, her husband's family is the head of the family and has a house with a single family, living separately from her mother-in-law Diao Dachun.

After Li Pingmei left, the drunk Lu Yingguang shook his body and got up to say goodbye. He lived on the top of the mountain and built a small villa on it three years ago. He was usually busy with business and rarely came back.

It is estimated that it is almost time, and everyone is ready to retreat to the room to rest.

Suddenly, a burst of rumbling loud noises resounded in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, streaks of lightning flashed across the dark night sky, and the bean-heavy rain fell on the head and face...

"After Grain Rain is Lixia, this rain god, come and shine on our Niuwu Village."

Zhao Dahai half-closed his eyes and narrowed his old wine, shaking his head and smiling.

"Old branch secretary, does it often rain heavily in the village?" Bai Mu asked timidly as he huddled in Jiang Ruo's arms for fear of thunder.

"In my village, rain is a big deal." Zhao Dahai looked at the pouring rain, stroked his beard, and said mysteriously, "When I was young, my great-grandfather often said that when God gets angry, he will Thunder and fire are falling, accompanied by heavy rain, and at this time, unknown things will happen."

"Unknown?" Bai Mu's pretty nose wrinkled, and the hand holding Jiang Ruo was a little cold.

"Yes, heaven has crops, and people have retribution." Zhao Dahai closed his drowsy old eyes, and there was a burst of light in them.

I don't know if what he said was evil, or it was just a coincidence. At this time, a thunderstorm that almost shattered the eardrums suddenly broke out. The lightning became more and more urgent, and even the rain became more violent.

"Snapped……"

The incandescent lamp blew a few times and went out.

Everything was silent, and Bai Yong's house was suddenly plunged into darkness—the power went out.

The screams of "ahhh" came one after another, Qin Fang, Bai Ling, Wang Jie and others were terrified. If Bai Mu hadn't been leaning against Jiang Ruo's arms, he would have jumped up.

The rain is getting heavier.

It hit the roof like hail, making a crisp and loud ding-dong sound; the continuous sound was piercing and scary, like... a ghost knocking on the door.

A faint light appeared in everyone's sight.

Bai Yong took out a lighter, lit a few candles, and put them on the Eight Immortals table.

Where there is light, there is temperature.

Looking at the flickering candlelight in the dark, two pairs of big bright eyes stared at each other, suddenly, I felt a little horrified.

"Hehehe..."

Zhao Dahai's hoarse and deep voice rang out, and the young people present were terrified, and their goosebumps rose.

"Look at you little devils who are afraid."

Zhao Dahai took out a cigarette and lit it, as if he was narrating or talking to himself, "I remember last year, at this time, there was a thunderstorm for three days and three nights, and when the weather cleared up, guess what? "

"What... what's wrong?" Bai Mu swallowed in fear.

"Grandpa, don't scare us..." Wang Jie trembled, hugged Zhao Shanshan who was seated next to her, her calves were trembling.

"Oh, then my old man won't talk about it." Zhao Dahai exhaled a smoke ring and ate his food.

"Don't..." Qin Fang received Western education, and has always been a staunch atheist. He squeezed William's hand, his big eyes were full of curiosity, and begged, "Look, the power is out now, what about us?" I'm bored too, can you tell us some stories?"

"Yes, old party secretary, we all want to hear it." As a man, William is naturally not afraid.

Rick was listening with gusto, but was interrupted by Wang Jie, who gave her a contemptuous look.

Zhao Dahai happily pushed his cheeks, swallowed the meat, looked around the crowd with deep eyes, and continued, "I think it was the middle of May last year, but I can't remember the exact day. It was only slightly bright that day, and I got up Practicing Tai Chi, as soon as I got to the river... I found two female corpses floating on the river."

"Female...female corpse!" Wang Jie yelled, and Zhao Shanshan's hand was almost black and blue from her pinching, and she hit her in pain.

"hiss……"

— A burst of cold air rose from the soles of everyone's feet.

At this moment, the wooden door of Bai Yong's house knocked!
