"It's me... my comrades. I will take responsibility for Zhang Zhiqing, you can rest assured."
His words completely baffled Xue Zhenzhen and He Wan. Upon closer inspection, they noticed several buttons were missing from his shirt...
Just as they were about to ask what was going on, Su Ranran hurriedly said, "Cui Cao is burning up! Please take a look and see what's wrong!"
He Wan shone her flashlight on Zhang Cuicao, whose face was flushed just like Li Weidong's: "Damn it, she's been drugged. Quickly help her home, or to the stream at the foot of the mountain, so she can soak in it with Li Weidong."
Xue Zhenzhen learned some of the details on the way and cursed her ancestors inwardly: "Who did this? They're really ruthless."
He Wan snorted: "In Da Li Village, who are the people we can offend at the same time?"
Su Ranran said, "Offend them all at the same time? You, Li Weidong, Cui Cao... it can't be Chen..."
Su Ranran didn't dare to say it aloud, after all, it was just a guess.
He Wan is certain that it is Chen Qing, but there is no evidence yet, and she will not speak recklessly.
Zhang Cuicao had completely lost her senses; she was in a daze and tried to kiss Su Ranran.
He Wan couldn't stand it anymore and knocked her unconscious with a stick.
"He Zhiqing, what happened to you...?"
"If we don't knock them out, we can't control them. Let's go quickly, otherwise it might be bad for their health."
Shen Guoqing, who was standing to the side, rubbed his forehead and said, "I'll carry her on my back."
He Wan looked at the injury on his head and asked, "Shen Zhiqing, are you alright?"
"Aside from some pain, I'm fine."
Su Ranran quickly apologized, "I'll re-bandage Shen Zhiqing after the party. Thank you for your help."
Several people worked together to help Zhang Cuicao onto his back. As they walked towards the village, they asked, "Shen Zhiqing, why are you in our village so late?"
"I came here today to help our farm's team leader deliver some things to your village's Party Secretary. The Party Secretary insisted that I stay for a meal, and I couldn't refuse. I even got drunk and just woke up. When I came out, I heard some noise over here... My bicycle is at the edge of the field, could you help me ride it?"
He Wan looked around from a distance and sure enough, she found the bicycle lying on the ground.
Su Ranran asked, "What about Zhang Lemin?"
"He ran away after I found him, and I thought he wasn't acting strangely."
He Wan said, "They've all gotten infected with the drug."
As he spoke, he walked over to the woodpile, covered his nose, and kicked the woodpile apart with his foot.
Hopefully, these remnants will dissipate and not harm others.
It was already past nine o'clock, and most of the villagers were already in bed. So the streets were deserted and exceptionally quiet.
The group quickly reached the river at the foot of the mountain, where Li Weidong was calling out in the river for some reason.
He Wan stepped forward and asked Zhang Jianjun, "What happened?"
Zhang Jianjun had just finished asking around and knew what had happened, but he didn't quite believe that Chen Qing was behind it.
"He's feeling unwell, so I told him to drink some river water and swim around to help it evaporate faster. What's wrong with Zhang... the educated youth?"
He Wan sighed, "Just like Li Weidong."
After saying that, they walked over to Zhang Cuicao and together they put her into the water.
The sudden surge of the river water woke Zhang Cuicao instantly.
Su Ranran gave her a wooden stick to hold, then turned to the group and said, "The water is so cold, it's definitely not good for your health."
Xue Zhenzhen said, "There's nothing we can do about it."
He Wan said, "Sister Cui Cao, hold onto the log properly, don't let it get submerged." As she spoke, she nudged her a couple of times.
When she first went into the water, she secretly put a few ice cubes in her two pants pockets.
You probably wouldn't feel it while soaking in the water right now, and even if you did, you could only say that the river water is cold.
It's impossible to get ice for Li Weidong.
“Shen, thank you for this time. It’s very late today. Why don’t you squeeze in with the male educated youth in our front yard for the night?”
Su Ranran said, "Shen Zhiqing, come with me to the clinic, I'll re-bandage you."
"No need, I'm fine, they're the ones who need to be taken care of."
From their conversation, Shen Guoqing could roughly understand that Zhang Zhiqing had been framed, or that the framer was someone from the educated youth settlement.
He Wan glanced at the time on her wrist and said, "You two stay here and guard them. I'm going to confront Chen Qing."
Su Ranran said, "I'll go too."
