HTDI Chapter 19

Arriving at a shady spot, Xiao Zhuang said, “Come on, let’s take a break. This place is perfect.”

As he spoke, Xiao Zhuang climbed up a tree.

This was a very large tree within the town, with lush foliage.

Xiao Zhuang’s gaze was fixed on a girl in the distance.

She was a disabled girl, reading a book in the backyard.

“You’re watching her,” Su Mingfei said, pointing in the girl’s direction.

The girl was missing one hand, and it seemed like her leg had problems too.

Xiao Zhuang looked at Su Mingfei, then back at the girl, and said, “Yeah, her name is Xiao Li, and she’s my girlfriend.”

As if thinking of something sweet, Xiao Zhuang smiled.

“Then you can go to her. I can patrol alone,” Su Mingfei said. He wasn’t deliberately trying to please Xiao Zhuang.

He felt that at this age, young people pursuing love was a good thing.

However, Xiao Zhuang shook his head and said, “Just watching her from afar is enough.”

As he spoke, Xiao Zhuang closed his eyes and lay down on the tree branch.

Su Mingfei also lay quietly, a gentle breeze blowing, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds. The scenery was truly beautiful.

And so, each with their own thoughts, they lay there for a full hour before climbing down.

They went to the village’s public cafeteria, where Su Mingfei saw Li Weicha, who nodded and smiled at him.

Li Weicha was eating with the mayor, Yina. When Su Mingfei had just entered, he saw them seemingly discussing something.

Xiao Zhuang took his meal and waited for Su Mingfei, then led him to Xiao Zhuang’s friends.

Su Mingfei himself wasn’t very old and was also young at heart. Xiao Zhuang’s friends were all young people, so everyone was relaxed and unreserved.

Talking about their children, Su Mingfei realized that many of these people were married, and some were even preparing for weddings.

They chatted happily, sharing stories of what had happened to them.

Although they were members of the village’s police station, they didn’t talk about how to deal with the villagers. It seemed that they got along very well.

Thinking about it that way, it really was a paradise.

Compared to the scheming and fighting in the city, it was much more comfortable to talk to them.

As they talked, the conversation turned to Su Mingfei himself. The group of six, including Xiao Zhuang, were all very curious about Su Mingfei’s identity.

When he said this, everyone was very enthusiastic and listened very attentively.

However, at the crucial moment, Su Mingfei said that the meal was finished and he would tell them next time.

The women booed, but there was nothing they could do but disperse.

Xiao Zhuang and the others went to play.

There was no rest time at noon.

Xiao Zhuang invited Su Mingfei to join them, but he refused.

Because he wanted to go to a place.

That place was the school.

As before, he registered his level at the entrance.

He walked into the school but didn’t see his daughter or Su Qing. Instead, he ran into Yan Hua.

“Looking for your daughter?”

“Yes.”

Indeed, he could see very few students, but he could still see a few playing here and there.

“That’s perfect. Help me fix the TV. It broke again yesterday while I was watching it with the students,” Yan Hua said as she walked, leading the way.

Su Mingfei followed behind her.

Arriving at the familiar room, he once again took the machine apart to inspect it.

Just then, the town’s loudspeaker broadcasted Mayor Yina’s voice.

The general idea was that Zhang San’s funeral would be held at 3 p.m., and she hoped that everyone in the town would attend.

“Of course. All the students will be dismissed later, and tomorrow is the weekend. Today is the day of dismissal,” Yan Hua said. She seemed to remember something, and her expression became a little dim.

“How is that child?” Su Mingfei asked as he put the cover back on the repaired machine.

“Which child?” Yan Hua asked, looking at him.

“Zhang San’s child.” Su Mingfei said as he stood up and put the cover back on the machine.

“Psychologist? There’s one here too?” Su Mingfei asked as he sat down on a student desk as well, keeping a little distance from Yan Hua.

“Of course. In our town, there are all kinds of professional people. In addition to a large hospital, there’s also a psychologist. However, there’s only one psychologist. She’s a woman in her sixties, but she’s very professional. Mayor Yina arranges for her to give at least one private lesson a week at the university.”

Yan Hua thought of that person and spoke happily.

From her words and expression, Yan Hua admired the psychologist very much.

Of course, there were also some ordinary roles and professions, such as Xiao Zhuang, who was a jewelry store security guard before he went to the town, and Zhang San, who used to be a carpenter.

Su Mingfei was now increasingly curious about this town.

What kind of magic did this town have that it gathered so many people? What was the purpose of bringing these people to the town?

Su Mingfei couldn’t help but ponder.

Yan Hua pretended to be angry and asked, her hands on her hips.

She looked as if someone had bullied her.

Su Mingfei quickly apologized and said, “Sorry, my mistake. I was just thinking that this town has a small population, but it has gathered so many professionals, so I’m a little curious.”

“I’ve heard that the scientist is very powerful, but I haven’t met her in person yet. I really want to meet her,” Su Mingfei said, getting off the student desk and speaking with great anticipation.

“Haha, since you want to see her so much, I happen to have a photo of the scientist that I can show you,” Yan Hua said, taking a photo from her jeans pocket and handing it to him. It was a photo of the scientist.
