Chapter 168 Being targeted
"I've eaten." Tu Shan asked, "Is the old man asleep?"
"Get in."
Before Aunt Wei could reply, the old man's unhappy voice was heard in the room.
Aunt Wei smiled and nodded at Tu Shan.
Tu Shan made a face towards the house and immediately turned into a good girl and walked in.
She tried to get ahead of him: "You're old, why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"
The old man leaned against the head of the bed, and Ming Zhan sat on the chair opposite.
The two old men looked at her coldly, and Tu Shan's tone of voice became weaker involuntarily.
Old Master Zong Zheng snorted coldly, "Of course, we're catching people who try to climb over the wall late at night."
Tu Shan felt guilty for a second, then smiled widely: "Grandpa is in really good spirits."
Old Master Zong Zheng didn't even want to look at her, it was eye-irritating: "What are you busy with recently?"
Tu Shan's expression changed in an instant, and she said righteously: "Don't ask about public affairs."
The old man was so angry that he threw a pillow at her: "You little bitch, you've grown wings."
Tu Shan hugged the pillow and flattered: "Look at you, old man, why are you so angry? I can't even joke with you."
The old man looked at her coldly: "Do you think I'm kidding you?"
Tu Shan timidly sat down cross-legged at the end of the old man's bed and said flatteringly, "Wasn't there a flood in Yang County a few days ago? I went to help with disaster relief. Now the accident investigation has fallen to our unit, and I have been entrusted with the important task, so I am busy with it.
I've been visiting the front lines all day today and helping dig mud. I don't know how hard it is. Look at me, my arms are getting thicker."
He was flattering himself and waiting to be praised, but the two old men ignored him.
Tu Shan pouted and looked stingy.
The old man asked, "I heard you donated a million kilograms of grain?"
Tu Shan nodded with sparkling eyes: "Yes, yes, yes."
"I heard that you single-handedly rescued two or three hundred disaster-stricken villagers in the mountains, along with their belongings?"
Tu Shan nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes."
"You single-handedly built a temporary resettlement site, and now it's become the largest resettlement site?"
Tu Shan grinned, "You really can't hide anything from the old man. It's okay, just okay. You're welcome."
The old man was amused: "So, you are quite proud?"
Tu Shan waved her hand: "No, no, I like to keep a low profile, very low profile."
The old man angrily scolded her: "You still know how to keep a low profile? Did Ming Zhan remind you not to cause trouble? What did you do? Do you know what people outside are saying? Do you still want to live?"
Tu Shan shrank her neck, not understanding: "What's wrong?"
The old man was so angry that his blood pressure soared: "Everyone in the resettlement site is praising you, praising you as a living Bodhisattva, saving people from suffering and distress, and having infinite strength. They are praising your boundless magic power and your ability to shake mountains and rivers.
Go listen to it yourself, it's even more exaggerated than this. If I hadn't had people control public opinion, you would have been the reincarnation of a god, being worshipped by everyone."
Tu Shan really didn't know about this and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips: "It's not an exaggeration, I really can do it."
Seeing the old man's face darken instantly, he quickly straightened his attitude: "Of course, keep a low profile, we have to keep a low profile. Oh, those people are really something. Just thank me in your heart, why say it out loud."
The old man took a breath and said, "Don't show off to me. When someone asks you about it, you always say it's an exaggeration. Don't be so complacent and ignorant of your own life.
"Now, be more careful in what you do. There are so many people here, do you really need to step in? How many lives do you have left for others to worry about?"
"I know." Tu Shan didn't dare to refute and nodded obediently.
After scolding him, the old man's anger subsided a little: "You really did a good thing this time. One million kilograms of grain almost saved the entire Yang County.
Girl, I know you have a kind heart, but before you do anything, you need to ensure your own safety.
I am still alive and can protect you a little, but if I die, who can protect me?"
Tu Shan was not happy to hear this: "As long as I'm here, even the King of Hell can't take you away."
The old man was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Look at how capable you are, why don't you go to heaven?
Okay, go away. Be careful while investigating the case. Come directly here if you need anything."
"Oh," Tu Shan patted her butt and stood up, took out two apples from her small black bag, and gave one to each of the two old men.
Tu Shan came out of the room, and Zong Zhengrui said, "Second Aunt said the operation will take another three or four hours, so she told you to go back and rest first. We'll take good care of you here."
Tu Shan scratched her head embarrassedly: "How can I be so embarrassed?"
Zong Zhengrui sneered: "You also feel embarrassed sometimes?"
Tu Shan punched Zong Zhengrui in the stomach and walked away gracefully.
Zong Zhengrui was so angry that his face turned blue.
Early the next morning, Tu Shan came to Zong Zheng's house carrying things.
The family had just gone to bed after tossing and turning all night because of the injury. Only Grandpa Ming was exercising in the yard and Jia Hui was busy in the kitchen.
Tu Shan felt even more embarrassed and put down the fruits she had brought and the pheasants and rabbits she had caught in the secret base. She said, "Thank you for your hard work. Auntie, please help me make some for everyone to eat. It will nourish us all."
Jia Hui smiled: "Okay, you haven't had breakfast yet, stay and have some together, I'll be ready soon."
"No, I'll go check on that person and then leave. I have something else to do."
Knowing that Tu Shan wasn't one to be falsely polite, Jia Hui didn't try to persuade her further: "Then take some freshly steamed buns with you when you leave."
"Thank you auntie."
Tu Shan went to Tao Shihan's studio to see that person. The studio looked like a small clinic with an examination table, general trauma tools and medicines.
At this time, the man was lying on the examination table, stripped naked, wrapped in gauze, and covered with a thin blanket.
I had a recurring fever right after surgery. The high fever just subsided, and now it's a low fever.
Jia Hui said that Tao Shihan had told her that the man was still in danger and could not move, so he could only stay at Zong Zheng's house temporarily.
After reading it, Tu Shan took the steamed buns and left, went to the black market, and took away the things that she had asked the Yang family to get.
"Third sister, recently someone has been inquiring about the source of special food on the black market. They seem to be aggressive and not good people. You have to be careful.
But you don't have to worry about me. I have instructed my subordinates to keep it strictly confidential. Besides, except for the first two times when someone saw you delivering food, I brought trustworthy people to get the food afterwards and ensured that it would not be leaked.
But nothing is absolute, so you have to be more careful, especially in the disaster-stricken areas of Yang County. The sudden appearance of a million kilograms of grain is too eye-catching, and smart people will definitely make connections."
Tu Shan's eyebrows twitched. No wonder the two old men were so angry last night. They were really too high-profile.
"Okay, I understand. Thanks. If there's any movement here, please notify me immediately."
The Yang family general waved his hand and said, "We are partners, close partners. You are welcome."
Tu Shan patted General Yang's shoulder and left with the things.
There are only two types of people investigating her: those who seek cooperation and those who suppress and exclude her.
But it doesn't matter. She gave out the food in a high-profile manner at the beginning, so she was not afraid of being investigated.
They can't produce any evidence, so it's useless to accuse her of anything.
Having been reborn, she couldn't let down the extra life she had lived and the abilities bestowed upon her by God.
Sometimes she wondered whether God had allowed her to come back with such power for revenge or to provide food for the hungry people.
