Chapter 221 Let's Stay Together
Yan Shaoyu didn't look back, and said in a low voice: "Let's go first."
Gu Yuehuai shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Shao Li, Comrade Yun, get in the car!"
Yun Yuan was stunned: "You?"
"Yue Huai, I..." Yan Shaoli's eyes reddened and he shook his head.
Gu Yuehuai pushed her into the car and turned to look at Yan Shaoyu: "Take them away first, so as not to delay any further."
Yan Shaoyang is injured, and it will be too late to delay any further. If he becomes disabled, Yan Shaoyu will never be happy for the rest of his life.
After all, she was a native of the Dalaozi Production Brigade, so she was naturally confident that she could escape from this group of stubborn members of the Liuzhi Brigade. She just didn't want Yan Shaoyang to stay here.
Gu Yuehuai spoke faster and said, "Shao Li, give Shao Yang more water on the way. You must feed him, understand?"
Yan Shaoli nodded with red eyes, looked at Wang Ziyan and the others, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, looking a little ashamed, they were all from the Willow Branch Team who came together, but in the end, it was she and her second brother who ran away.
Wang Ziyan shook her head and said soothingly, "It's okay, don't be afraid, let's go."
She also knew that Yan Shaoli had nearly been poisoned by Li Weidong, and had some fear of the Liuzhi Brigade. Besides, the one who came to rescue them was her own brother, so it was only right for her and Yan Shaoyang to leave.
And Yun Yuan has also left. As a witness, she will definitely bring peace back to this place with the evidence!
Lei Yi also held Jin Can's hand, smiled at Yan Shaoli, and said to Yan Shaoyang: "Okay, you guys go quickly! Shaoyang, you should get well. When we go to the hospital to see you, you must be well again!"
Yan Shaoyang's heart ached when he heard this. He wanted to speak, but he felt like his throat was stuffed with a ball of cotton.
He clenched his fists tightly, feeling a little lost. He and Shao Li had been hiding behind his eldest brother since they were young, but he didn't expect that it would still be the same when he grew up. When everyone was in danger, he could only lie here and wait for rescue. This feeling was really powerless.
The members of the Liuzhi Brigade were shouting and chasing closer and closer. Gu Yuehuai frowned and said, "Let's go!"
At this time, Yan Shaoyu turned over from the driving position and looked at Yun Yuan: "Will it?"
Yun Yuan nodded in surprise. Yan Shaoyu nodded and handed over the green booklet in his hand: "Take them to the county and send them to the hospital. We will be back soon."
After saying that, he pulled something from his neck and stuffed it into Yan Shaoli's pocket.
Yan Shaoyang and Yan Shaoli were both shocked: "Brother!"
Yan Shaoyu's eyebrows moved slightly and said, "Let's go."
Hearing the footsteps approaching behind her, Yun Yuan did not hesitate any longer and drove the ox cart away.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at Yan Shaoyu, and Shu Er curled his lips: "Are you worried about me?"
There was a hint of teasing in her voice, causing Yan Shaoyu to purse his lips.
On the other side, members of the Liuzhi Brigade also chased after them. Looking at the ox cart running away, the old man in the lead cried out, "Ox! Our brigade's ox! You bunch of thieves must be sent to the police station!"
As the brigade’s public property, cattle are the most valuable things.
Some people in the crowd began to echo.
"It was the daughter-in-law of the old Su family who stole the cow! I knew she was not a good person. She ran to the mountains all day long. Look, she followed the educated youth, right? Wait for the secretary to come and let the old Su family take responsibility!"
"These city kids have minds like a hornet's nest, they just want to run away!"
"Have you notified the branch secretary? Why hasn't he come yet? Should we call two more people over?"
“…”
Most of the villagers from Liuzhi Brigade came and surrounded Gu Yuehuai, Yan Shaoyu and others with unfriendly looks on their faces.
Gu Yuehuai listened to the indignant discussions around him and said calmly: "Everyone, calm down."
Her voice was not loud, but it reduced the noise of discussion among the crowd.
"My husband and I came to Liuzhi Brigade yesterday. We are from Dalaozi Production Brigade, which is not far from here. We encountered a rainstorm and the mountain was closed two days ago. We got lost and ran here. People from our brigade must be looking for us now."
"You've stopped us here, which is illegal detention. You're going to go to jail."
"Also, I also heard yesterday that your village Party Secretary Li Weidong was involved in the trafficking of women. He definitely cannot get away with it. This Liuzhi Brigade was once his 'one-man show'. We were all bewitched and threatened. We are all pitiful people."
"Now that the daughter-in-law of the old Su family is willing to come forward and report him, are you going to help the evildoer? Help Li Weidong?"
"Oh, by the way, besides being a member of the Dalaozi Production Brigade, I am also an editor and reporter for the Commune Mass Daily. Here, this is my work badge. Take a look at this logo. Is it from the Mass Daily?"
As Gu Yuehuai spoke, he took out his work badge from his clothes. Although the writing was a little blurred due to water seepage, the logo pattern on it was still clearly engraved. The Masses Daily had a very high status in the hearts of the country people.
Although they had not had any actual contact with the Masses Daily, they knew that it was specifically used to provide propaganda to leading cadres.
As soon as Gu Yuehuai's name came out, the discussions in the crowd became weaker.
"We are all from the same hometown, and we should help each other. I just can't stand Li Weidong's dominance and enslaving you. Now it's a new society, and we ordinary people have the right to speak! Don't you agree?"
Gu Yuehuai's words were so righteous that they moved the hearts of the people in the Liuzhi Brigade.
Yan Shaoyu lowered his eyes and glanced at her. He didn't expect that she was so talented in inciting people's hearts.
However, Li Weidong had been in charge of the Liuzhi Brigade for many years, and Gu Yuehuai could not convince him with just a few words. What's more, poor and bad places always produce unruly people, and soon, someone emerged from the silent crowd.
"What are you talking about? We don't understand at all! Secretary Li is the best secretary, and he is good to us. Don't talk nonsense and slander people. You steal cattle and run away. You educated youth are not good people!"
A young man raised a wooden stick in his hand and spoke with a vicious tone.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was quiet for a moment, then became noisy again.
Li Weidong has accumulated power for a long time. Although Gu Yuehuai's words are meant to incite people, it is impossible to dispel the intimidation and fear that Li Weidong has accumulated in the hearts of the members with just a few words.
If they don't join in dealing with these educated youth now, they will suffer the consequences later.
It is a time of food shortage, and the Liuzhi Brigade has not yet distributed this year's grain. Food is the lifeline of the people, and Li Weidong holds this lifeline. What's more, how can it be a wise choice to resist Li Weidong?
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows, not panicking at all: "So, you are determined to detain us?"
"You are thieves! Thieves should be arrested! Wait for the branch secretary to deal with you!" The young man who refuted Gu Yuehuai shouted loudly with a ferocious expression. It seemed that he was a die-hard fan of Li Weidong.
Gu Yuehuai sneered, "Did you see us stealing? Wasn't the driver from your Liuzhi Brigade? What's more, she was trying to save people, to save Yan Shaoyang, the educated youth from Beijing! The house at the educated youth's place was dilapidated and collapsed, and it broke his spine. You should all know about this, right? Instead of trying to save people, she didn't let people leave the brigade. What kind of explanation is this?"
"You are only afraid of Li Weidong, but not afraid of losing lives?"
