Chapter 122
'What a mistake!'
After Weisheng was completely settled, he decided to go to Zhao'an Village. When he was about to set off, Weisheng remembered something.
Zhao'an Village is very close to Tang Mu's base. In previous years, Tang Mu often led his team to the mountains behind Zhao'an Village for training.
If she drove a helicopter over there, even if the radar at the base couldn't detect the helicopter, helicopters weren't silent. Maybe the villagers wouldn't know what the sound was, but the soldiers at the base and Tang Mu would definitely know...
In the end, Weisheng decided to alternate between several means of transportation.
First, fly to the outskirts of Linshui Town by helicopter, then ride an electric bicycle through the town into Zhao'an Village, and then ride a real bicycle in Zhao'an Village.
It was a cloudy day when Weisheng went to Zhao'an Village. It was completely dark by dusk. Since the next night was a night shift, even if he didn't sleep all night, he would still have time to catch up on some sleep.
First, ride a bicycle out of Qingxi Town, then take out a helicopter in Qingxi Town... Wait until you reach Zhaoan Village and then sneak into the village in the dark.
According to the memory given by Gong Jiu, he went to the educated youth site, but found that Gong Lingxi and her daughter were not there.
She lost the person...?
Weisheng couldn't help but cry out inwardly when he thought of this. Worried that he had really lost the person, he hurried to the village committee compound to look through the directory. When he found the names of Gong Lingxi and Gong Jiu there, Weisheng breathed a sigh of relief.
So the question is, the two of them don’t have much money and no space, so where will they live when they arrive in the village?
As if he had thought of something, Weisheng flipped through the booklet at the village committee again and found that the house numbers were written behind the names of other villagers, except for the names of the educated youth and Gong Lingxi.
I was somewhat certain that the mother and daughter were living in the Youth League Home.
So Weisheng went back to the Youth League Home and found that there was another quilt near the kang in the Youth League Home.
Since everyone at the educated youth site was sleeping under the influence of calming incense, Weisheng carefully checked the situation there again. This time, he found two more servants' uniforms from the Gong family mansion.
That’s right, this mother and daughter lived here before.
Weisheng felt that Gong Lingxi would no longer think about the man who tortured her to death in her previous life, but he also felt that with Gong Lingxi's way of thinking, she might be able to do such a thing, so he immediately rushed towards the base.
However, after walking a few miles, Weisheng turned and headed towards the Red Sleeves gathering point in Linshui Town.
Given the personalities of Tao Zhen'er and Gong Lingxi, Tang Mu's madness might expose their identities and backgrounds.
Sure enough, the mother and daughter fell into the hands of the Red Sleeves of Linshui Town.
And the beast in the red sleeves that made Weisheng disgusted once again fell below Weisheng's bottom line.
He quietly threw in the calming incense, and after everyone was knocked unconscious, he took away those beasts with red sleeves. As for Tao Zhen'er and Gong Lingxi, Weisheng ignored them.
She came this time just to confirm where the mother and daughter were.
All the red sleeves that were taken away were thrown into the reservoir. The person was unconscious and was thrown into the reservoir from a high place with fast currents. He was definitely dead.
As for where the body will eventually end up, that is not Weisheng's concern.
…
Weisheng came and left without a fight. Gong Lingxi and Tao Zhener, who were badly tricked by Tang Mu, not only hated Tang Mu but also hated the deadly 'Gong Jiu'.
As soon as Tang Mu left that day, the town's Red Sleeves received the news and immediately rushed to the educated youth center in Zhao'an Village. They took Tao Zhen'er and Gong Lingxi away without even considering their struggles or resistance.
As for the village cadres of Zhaoan Village... just by hearing the name you can tell what the predecessor of Zhaoan Village was.
Over a hundred years ago, this was a den of bandits, but was later pacified by the imperial court. The people here are bad and rotten from the very beginning.
Back then, Gong Jiu came to Zhao'an Village alone. If he had not let the portable space recognize its master early on and used the space to protect himself, he would have been dragged into the cornfield long ago.
She knew Zhao'an Village wasn't a good place, and while the portable space could protect her, it also made her more desirable. She also happened to know that people from nearby bases often came to the back mountain for training. The peak seasons were spring and early autumn...
He won Tang Mu's favor by trying to please him, and then naturally moved to the family compound where the resident was stationed, thus successfully escaping the disaster.
In Gong Lingxi's previous life, a family of three came to cut in line. Thanks to Gong Haoxuan, a business veteran, he dealt with the village chief and his people, and slipped some benefits through his fingers from time to time, which allowed the family to have some peace and quiet.
When Gong Lingxi hooked up with Tang Mu, Gong Haoxuan and Tao Zhener who lived in the village had someone to rely on, and their lives became better.
Whether it was the life in which Gong Jiu went to the countryside to work, or the life in which Gong Lingxi took her parents to the countryside, they were very lucky to avoid the disasters brought by the village chief and villagers.
But other female educated youth were not so lucky. Not only were they often harassed by some male members of the village, led by the village chief, but they also had their work points and food rations deducted by the villagers.
The most hateful thing is that the village chief and his men would secretly withhold their letters, parcels and remittance slips, and would not issue them letters of introduction for visiting relatives, thus cutting off their contact with their families.
It's not that they haven't thought about asking for help from the stationed officers and soldiers who often pass by the village, but the army has regulations that officers and soldiers will not directly intervene in conflicts and frictions between the villagers and the educated youth. Instead, they will help them report to the town's educated youth office and ask them to send someone to deal with it.
The final result also made people completely lose the idea of looking for help.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
On this side, Gong Lingxi dared to bring Tao Zhener all the way to Zhao'an Village because he had never suffered the hardships of going to the countryside and felt that the villagers were all good people.
She was thinking of staying here for a while, and then asking the village to give her and Tao Zhen'er a letter of introduction to go back to their hometown to visit relatives or go to Beijing for medical treatment, and then take Tao Zhen'er to repair the broken jade pendant.
In Gong Lingxi's memory, the village chief was a very easy-going person, so she never doubted that he would not give her a letter of introduction, or even make things difficult for her and her mother after they entered the village.
Gong Lingxi was so obsessed with repairing the jade pendant that she didn't care about anything else. Her plans and future plans revolved around it, and she never considered the possibility that the pendant couldn't be repaired or that the space would be gone after it was repaired.
The living conditions at the Youth League site were terrible. Mother and daughter each carried a small cloth bag, without even a set of bedding. The resettlement allowance the Youth League Office provided was not much to begin with, so if they wanted to buy all their belongings, it wouldn't be enough.
Tao Zhen'er wanted to save some money and live a steady life, while Gong Lingxi wanted to save some money for a train ticket to Beijing.
So the mother and daughter discussed it and decided to just buy one set of bedding. If they could save on other things, they would do so. If they couldn't save on other things, they would just buy one set to meet their emergency needs temporarily.
When they arrived at the village, the village chief gritted his teeth when he saw the faces of the "two sisters" and their hands as tender as scallions.
Isn't this just sent down from the city to eat?
After feeling sorry for the food, the village chief started to have ulterior motives again.
However, the village chief did not like Gong Lingxi, who looked immature and inexplicable, but was attracted by Tao Zhener, who had a unique charm.
The villagers, facing the loess and the north sky every day, have bad skin and look particularly old. As for Tao Zhen'er, she has only experienced a few days of hardship in her life.
The village chief knew that these educated youth were arrogant when they first arrived in the countryside. Not only were they busy, but they also looked down on the country folk. Therefore, he assigned Tao Zhen'er and Gong Lingxi the dirtiest and most tiring jobs in the village, hoping to make them more sensible in a short period of time.
Here, when the village chief was using this method to force Tao Zhen'er to follow him, Tang Mu came up.
Even though Tang Mu had excellent physical fitness, he was exhausted after so many days of hard work, so he reported the mother and daughter to Hong Taoxiu first. He would go and meet Gong Lingxi after he had adjusted his condition and finished the backlog of work.
As for whether he knew that there were beasts hidden in the red sleeves, and any female comrade who fell into their hands would be tortured and humiliated?
He knows.
But he didn't care.
Just like in his previous life, he knew that Gong Lingxi was fooling around with many people, but he didn't take it to heart. He still beat her up whenever he wanted, and when Gong Lingxi couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to divorce him, he would expose Gong Lingxi and her lovers.
As for whether doing so would be a loss of face... China is such a big country, if we apply to change our base based on this matter, who would know about those messes?
Because Tang Mu didn't care, Gong Lingxi never revealed her space to him. But every time she got beaten, she would drink Lingquan water. Although Lingquan water's main function was to nourish the skin and detoxify, the word "ling" in it meant that it could also help Gong Lingxi repair the injuries she received from Tang Mu.
With the help of the spiritual spring water, Gong Lingxi's injuries healed faster than Tang Mu expected, and he received more beatings.
Tang Mu had never considered Gong Lingxi his wife, but rather a sandbag, a tool to pull others down. Now that Gong Lingxi was in the hands of those red sleeves, Tang Mu only needed to know that she was alive.
As for why Gong Lingxi was kept alive... we have to know whether she has returned or not.
If it weren't for Gong Lingxi, his Gong Jiu wouldn't have died.
Who wants to be reborn?
He only wants his Gong Jiu.

On the day Weisheng returned to Qingxi Town, she rested during the day and worked the night shift, so she slept as much as she could during the day. Meanwhile, the madman Tang Mu, having just replenished his mental and physical strength, led his men to Linshui Town.
He first rented a yard in the town, and then went to the Red Sleeves gathering point in person to bring Gong Lingxi and Tao Zhener to the yard.
This yard is bigger than the one Weisheng rented, and there are several rooms in it.
After detaining the mother and daughter separately, Tang Mu tortured Gong Lingxi to extract a confession.
"Tell me, where is Gong Jiu?"
The brocade bag on Gong Lingxi's neck had been stolen before, but the person who stole it found that there were only a few pieces of jade as big as beans inside, so he threw the bag away again.
Gong Lingxi crawled over to pick up the brocade bag, then hung it around her neck while holding the bag and muttering to herself.
'Let me in!'
'Let me in!'
When those men with red sleeves heard Gong Lingxi say this, they first laughed and called him a madman, and then they said all kinds of dirty words to Gong Lingxi.
Tao Zhen'er was furious, but she and her daughter were in the same situation.
Those people didn't just talk about it, they also took action...
Gong Lingxi had the space to support her, plus the experiences of her previous two lives, so she didn't care at all about what happened in the past two days. Her mind was still full of repairing the jade pendant and getting the portable space.
But Tao Zhen'er was different. After all, she was an ordinary woman with normal mental health and normal experience. After experiencing that kind of thing, she was completely collapsed.
When Tang Mu came over, Tao Zhen'er was fighting with Gong Lingxi like a madman for the brocade bag containing the broken jade pendant.
"It's because it's broken that our house is in this state. Throw it away, throw it away now."
'No, I don't! This is my pocket space. If you lose it, your pocket space is gone.'
A complete madman interrogated a madman who was about to go completely crazy. The answer he got was true, but it was also what the madman Tang Mu least wanted to accept.
So he beat Gong Lingxi violently again like he did in his previous life, but without the spiritual spring water, Gong Lingxi could not recover in a day or two and continue to go out and hang out with others.
Provoked by Gong Lingxi, Tang Mu snatched Gong Lingxi's treasure bag and went to interrogate Tao Zhen'er again. Tao Zhen'er was devastated, but she still had her sanity. She insisted that Gong Jiu was still alive and that if she and her daughter were sent to Hong Kong, she would tell Tang Mu where Gong Jiu was...
