Lu Manyue narrowed her eyes, her mind racing.

These people actually knew Wei Dingbang, trusted Wei Dingbang, and seemed to vaguely feel that Wei Dingbang could solve all difficulties.

They also said it would be nice if Wei Dingbang was here...

So, Wei Dingbang is not in Weijia Village now!

Her trip was in vain.

"Will Wei Dingbang be able to come back in the next two days?"

"You suddenly came to the country, is it because he is coming back, so you came to clean up the house so that it can be lived in?"

More than a dozen people surrounded Lu Manyue, vying to ask questions.

Lu Manyue heard some chirping sounds beside her ears, as if hundreds of ducks were quacking.

She was so overwhelmed by the shouting.

Lu Manyue put the cold grasshopper slowly into her mouth without saying a word.

"Scatter! You are scaring people like this." Teacher Hu pulled the educated youth who were surrounding Lu Manyue away one by one and made way for them.

Lu Manyue walked out of the encirclement.

"Teacher, teacher, what happened to you?" Zhou Fanghua ran back panting.

The ponytail was loose, and the black hair fluttered in the wind like seaweed in the water.

She ran desperately on the field ridge with one bare foot, taking one deep step and one shallow step.

There were many cuts on the back of her feet, but she didn't cry out in pain.

"If it doesn't work, I'll go with him. It's just moving to another village, it's no big deal." Zhou Fanghua ran closer and forced a smile.

"We are from the same brigade, and the village is not far away. You can take turns to visit me after you get the approval."

"Fanghua, you clearly know that man has bad intentions. How could he simply move you to another village?"

"Fanghua, it's okay. The teacher has delayed for three days. We still have time to discuss it. Maybe we can come up with a solution."

"As long as Wei Dingbang comes back within these three days, that Wei Daxing won't dare to come to Weijia Village to snatch people."

After hearing this, Zhou Fanghua looked at Lu Manyue.

There was a faint light in her eyes, a look of hope.

"Comrade Wei is really coming back? Is he, is he okay?"

Lu Manyue shook her head, "I don't know. I don't know where he went, and I don't know when he will come back.

You asked me, and I also want to ask you.

You clearly know more than I do."

The fire in Zhou Fanghua's eyes suddenly went out, like a flower whose vitality had been sucked away, and the whole person looked a little dejected.

"He, he hasn't come back for so long, is he never going to come back?"

After hearing this, the educated youth all lowered their heads.

"What does it mean that he can't come back? Where did you see him? Is he doing anything dangerous?" Lu Manyue grasped the key in an instant.

Her eyes swept across Zhou Fanghua's face inch by inch.

Then he turned his gaze to Teacher Hu, whose eyes were full of guilt.

An absurd and terrifying guess suddenly crossed my mind.

She squeezed her hands tightly and calmed herself down.

Looking around, I found that the other people who picked up the Mace were no longer there.

Wei Jianshe saw that everyone was about to fight, so Lu Manyue asked him to go to the village chief's house to call for help.

There were only a few acres of land and they were the only ones left.

"You...are not educated youth, right?" Lu Manyue asked quietly.

Everyone who had their heads down immediately looked up and looked at Lu Manyue in horror.

Everyone's body trembled unconsciously.

Lu Manyue knew the answer.

They were not educated youth, but they all came to Weijia Village to work in the countryside with certificates of going to the countryside.

"All your certificates are fake, right?" Lu Manyue said firmly.

Everyone looked at each other, gritting their teeth and keeping silent.

Teacher Hu sighed and closed his eyes heavily.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes again and said with relief, "You guessed right, we are not educated youth.

We escaped and had nowhere to go. We would be caught wherever we went.

So I wrote a certificate for going to the countryside, carved a seal out of a radish, stamped it with red ink, and crossed mountains and rivers to Weijia Village to look for a ray of hope.

"teacher!"

"teacher!"

The educated youth were horrified.

They never expected that Teacher Hu would admit it so quickly and tell them all the details of their fraud.

"So, it was because of Wei Dingbang that you escaped?

You think that the place where he grew up must be the safest, so you treat this place as your last chance.

You are really brave." Lu Manyue couldn't help but be amazed.

"If not, we will die if we get out. Hu Hua, Zhou Xiaoshan, Li Nanshan, roll up your trouser legs." Teacher Hu called out the names of the three male educated youth again.

Three male educated youth stepped out and stood silently in front of Lu Manyue.

Bend over and roll up your trouser legs.

Three pairs of scarred legs were revealed.

New wounds, old wounds, one upon another.

Some were still bleeding, and some had turned into pus.

Some have a layer of transparent skin, through which you can clearly see the granulation tissue growing underneath.

“What I can show you is not too scary.

What’s even more frightening is that, except for the few who came later, all twelve of us had them.

For example, I was forced to have a piece of flesh and skin peeled off every day for more than three months.

The bones of my drawing fingers were broken, so I can’t even hold a pen now.” Teacher Hu’s tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about someone else.

When Lu Manyue heard this, she was horrified.

This is what the book calls capital punishment.

"You committed murder and arson?"

Teacher Hu suddenly laughed, his whole body shaking and tears falling.
