Chapter 46
Ever since the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University went to the Rongshan Brigade, the news has been spreading like wildfire.
The people in the brigade didn't care much about it. The educated youth did a lot of running around for this matter, and the homes of the production team cadres were much busier than usual.
Some people even went to the team leader to get a letter of introduction and went directly to the town or commune to actively strive for this quota.
In comparison, the locals of Rongshan Brigade were much calmer. After all, this quota was reserved for the educated youth.
There was a reason for such care. In previous years, many people from other brigades were able to return to the city. Either they were given quotas by the higher authorities, or the educated youth found ways to return to the city themselves.
Or those who have outstanding talents and perform well will be transferred to work in government agencies or factories in towns or communes.
Their Rongshan Brigade seemed to have been forgotten. After so many years and with so many educated youth, only a handful of them were able to leave Rongshan Brigade. This resulted in their brigade having the largest number of educated youth among the nearby brigades, with a total of thirty-eight people.
Among them, five educated youth married and settled down in the local area, such as primary school teacher Sun Qin.
Most of the others also have positions in the team, such as scorers, team leaders, etc.
However, most of the educated youth still wanted to return to their hometowns, so they actively strived for the quota to return to the city.
Being able to attend a workers-peasants-soldiers university is everyone's highest dream, which means a bright future and guaranteed work and life.
Unlike those educated youth who only got the quota to return to the city, their future is uncertain.
Because there are not enough jobs in the city, they may not be able to find a job after returning home, especially for families with many children. Parents have limited jobs and cannot give all of them to their children, which means they will face livelihood problems when they return to the city.
But it’s different after going to university. You will definitely be assigned a job after graduation, and it’s a stable job.
Tang Qingqing also heard the rumor that the brigade was going to give the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University quota to Zhai Hongyi. It was said that this was very likely because Zhai Hongyi had been commended several times and the commune leaders had heard of his name.
Tang Qingqing finished the homework assigned by Zhai Hongyi and called Zhai Hongyi out of the house to avoid disturbing Wang Heizi and Tang Qiaoqiao who were studying.
"Brother, are you going to college?"
"That's all just rumors. The brigade officials didn't even talk to me."
"If I talk to you, will you read it?"
Zhai Hongyi raised his eyebrows: "You don't want me to study?"
It is so difficult to get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University that no one has thought about not taking this option.
Tang Qingqing's question clearly had another meaning.
Tang Qingqing also realized that it was not right to ask this question. After all, according to the information everyone had now, unless someone was stupid, who would give up such a good opportunity? By asking this question, wasn't she exposing her true thoughts?
She learned from the book that the college entrance examination would be resumed next year, and based on Zhai Hongyi's grades, it was very likely that he would be admitted to university based on his own abilities.
However, the situation became a bit awkward for the students from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, because the qualifications of the students varied greatly, and some of them were recommended without even knowing a single word.
Therefore, their abilities are average and they cannot learn any real skills.
It’s okay for college students in the past, but it would be very awkward for these students who have taken the college entrance examination to collide with each other, which would affect their future promotion and so on.
Although Tang Qingqing felt that based on Zhai Hongyi's abilities, these would not hinder his progress, a more "orthodox" background would definitely be beneficial to his development.
And if he does well in the exam, he can go to a better school.
A good school not only has a strong faculty and a good learning atmosphere, but more importantly, it allows you to build your own network of relationships during your college years.
But Tang Qingqing didn't want Zhai Hongyi to give up this opportunity. First, she couldn't explain the source of her information; second, what if Zhai Hongyi failed the exam?
Although the treatment of being recommended to a university and being admitted to a university through the college entrance examination is different, at least you will be a college student when you graduate, and you can change your destiny.
If Zhai Hongyi failed the list, Tang Qingqing's abrupt obstruction might ruin Zhai Hongyi's future.
After all, nothing is 100% certain in this world. What if the test questions happen to be Zhai Hongyi's blind spot, or something unexpected happens during the exam and he cannot go, etc., he may miss the opportunity to go to university.
Tang Qingqing couldn't bear such a big responsibility, so she quickly waved her hand and denied it:
"How can that be possible? It's such a rare opportunity."
Zhai Hongyi looked at the mountains in the distance. This place was far away from the village and life was very inconvenient, but the scenery was very beautiful.
The picturesque scenery at the door is refreshing.
"So do you think I should go?"
Tang Qingqing was very conflicted. This choice was really too difficult and nothing she said would be appropriate.
"So entangled? Can't bear to leave me?"
A faint blush appeared on Tang Qingqing's fair face. Since she woke up, she no longer took on excessive work as she did before, even though she was dissatisfied.
Although I often participate in the production work of the brigade, compared with herding sheep under the scorching sun before, I rarely expose myself to the sun for a long time.
This made her skin gradually return to its original color and become whiter and fairer.
Together with an egg and a cup of goat's milk almost every day, her nutrition gradually kept up. Not only did she become rounder, but she also grew taller. In less than a year, she grew more than ten centimeters. Now she is 1.53 meters tall, and looks like a young girl, no longer childish.
This makes her more convincing than before when she is hired to track.
When Tang Qingqing heard Zhai Hongyi say this, she didn't know how to respond.
Zhai Hongyi also realized that this statement seemed a bit frivolous, so he directly changed the subject and said:
"I'm not going."
Zhai Hongyi's attitude was firm, which reminded Tang Qingqing of what he had said before.
"Brother, you don't really want to stay here forever, do you?"
They have known each other for such a long time. Although Zhai Hongyi often looks like he doesn't care about anything, he is actually just like what Wang Heizi said - a depressed person.
He is not a man who would settle for less. Since the beginning of spring, he has started to trade in all kinds of things.
He dug up eggs, duck eggs, even goat milk, and wild vegetables from the mountains and sold them on the black market in the commune. He was full of energy and obviously not the kind of person who was content with just doing his job.
Zhai Hongyi doesn’t know where the future is headed. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he doesn’t want to seize it. What is he thinking?
Tang Qingqing was very curious. After knowing him for such a long time, she probably knew that Zhai Hongyi's behavior had a lot to do with his family.
Although his family cares about him and often sends him gifts, things are not as simple as they seem.
Zhai Hongyi remained silent, looking into the distance.
Tang Qingqing saw his expression and knew that he had no intention of speaking.
Tang Qingqing chatted with Wang Heizi privately, "I really don't know what Brother Yi is thinking."
Wang Heizi didn't care: "He has his own ideas in mind. He must have his reasons for doing this. Even if he gives up the opportunity this time, he won't do badly in the future."
Wang Heizi was the person who least wanted Zhai Hongyi to leave. Ever since he met Zhai Hongyi, he felt that he was a completely different person.
The most significant difference is that I now have more money in my pocket, and by learning from him, I am gradually finding some fun in it.
Wang Heizi now knows quite a few words and is particularly good at math. He feels that his brain has become much smarter.
"Do you think our team will really give the spot to Brother Yi?"
Wang Heizi shook his head: "Who knows? Every time the quota is announced, it is very lively and often a false alarm. Although Brother Yi often makes contributions, he is also often accused of being a liberal and individualist.
There are so many educated youth in our team, many of whom have performed well, and many of them have been there for many years. Brother Yi has been in the team for too short a time, so it is not certain that he will be punished."
The eldest master is the captain Wang Heizi, who is still somewhat aware.
He knew his grandfather's temperament very well and knew he would not consider issues from only one aspect.
Zhai Hongyi has many advantages, but his shortcomings are also very obvious.
Every time I work, I finish my job and won't force myself to do more.
As for the current trend of promoting dedication, the fact that they have not been criticized is due to their tolerance.
If they really intended to give the spot to Zhai Hongyi, they wouldn't have discussed it for so long without any result.
"Heizi, you should prepare to go back to school and continue your studies."
Wang Heizi glared: "Why are you bringing this up with me?"
"I think Brother Yi will definitely leave us in the future. I will also go out to study, and you will stay in the team alone."
Wang Heizi rarely refuted, as he also didn't want their iron triangle to break up.
He used to live a confusing life, but after being with Zhai Hongyi and Tang Qingqing, he finally found the direction to work hard.
Whether doing business with Zhai Hongyi or tracking with Tang Qingqing, it is much more interesting than the previous work.
In fact, doing these things is not that easy, it is very hard and scary.
But he is happy to do it. No matter how hard or tiring it is, he feels it is sweet when things are done well.
Tang Qingqing advised: "Your family is able to provide you with education, you must cherish it. I am telling you clearly that as long as you study hard, you may be able to escape from this ditch in the future."
Wang Heizi believed that Tang Qingqing was not a boastful person, and he fell into deep thought.
He really didn't want to stay in this mountain valley. He also wanted to go to the city and see what the outside world that the educated youth talked about was like.
In his opinion, the commune was already a very beautiful and desirable place, but they said it was nothing compared to those big cities.
"But I learned a lot more from Brother Yi than I did from school."
“咱們大隊師資條件不行，在外頭一個年級一個班甚至好幾個班，沒有混在一塊上課的。而且孫老師教得也不好，可老校長就教得好多了，等你三年級知識掌握了，也來上老校長的課吧。
回頭我們一起考公社的初中，你不是喜歡去公社嗎，上了初中就更加方便了。”
鎮上也有初中，不過教學質量和公社沒得比。
唐青青第一目标是公社初中，所以她現在雖然已經上完五年級的課，卻也沒想着今年就去考初中。
她想利用更多的時間，鞏固基礎知識，等明年的時候争取考上公社初中。
翟弘毅現在已經不單單圍繞課本知識點講課，還會穿插其他知識，還教她英語，而且非常重視口語。
用翟弘毅的話來說，語言是交流的工具，能說會聽是最重要的。
因此唐青青一開始學英語就敢張口，哪怕說錯也敢張口表達自己的意思。
王黑子覺得好玩，也跟着一塊學，唐巧巧也沒有落下。
三人中，最具有語言天賦的就是王黑子，他比唐青青和唐巧巧都更大膽，也學得更溜，學得最慢的是唐巧巧因為她最害羞，生怕自己說錯了丢人。
王黑子認真思考着，“要是毅哥不走，我就一直跟着他學。我真是不想進教室，一進去就覺得腦殼疼。”
“那是因為以前的老師教得不好。”
“反正我對學校沒啥好印象，我先跟毅哥混着吧。”
唐青青沒有勉強，反正他跟着翟弘毅也能學到不少東西。
他們大隊的小學确實太趕人了，低年級孩子本來就不好管，需要老師的耐心教導。
可孫芹講課實在是太差勁了，而且整天板着一張臉，好像誰欠了她的錢似的。
雖然不存在虐待，可态度實在不怎麽樣。
最要命的是，她經常胡亂教學。
唐青青之前在她的班裏上課的時候，就聽到她搞錯了好幾個地方。
她當時提出異議，結果反被教訓了一頓。
唐青青也跟老校長反映過情況，可也無濟于事。
孫芹是有編制的老師，也不能把她開除掉，頂多說兩句，可對方不理會也沒啥辦法。
老校長想跟孫芹交換，孫芹也不願意，而且以她的能力也教不了高年級。
于是，就只能這麽着了。
大隊裏的孩子的學習熱情，都被這麽一個不負責任，水平還不行的老師給耽誤了。
工農兵大學名額一天沒有落實，知青們當初心就一直懸着，雖然大家都說恐怕會花落翟弘毅頭上。
可沒有公布結果，大家都覺得自己還是有希望的。
這段時間裏，翟弘毅的投訴也比平時多了起來，說他太過于自由主義和個人主義，不聽從組織安排雲雲。
翟弘毅對這些批評充耳不聞，反正又不是第一次被這麽說了，他該幹嘛幹嘛。
不過他還是減少了跑黑市的次數，省得會招惹上麻煩。
王黑子對此非常不忿：“咋讨論了這麽久都沒有動靜啊？咱們毅哥都快成過街老鼠了。”
翟弘毅不是沒有表明自己要紮根這片土地的決心，可是沒有一個人信的。
因為之前有回城名額時候，也有知青也信誓旦旦自己不會走的，還要跟廣大農民同志一起建設美好鄉村，他要把自己貢獻在這片土地上。
并且聲稱就算名額落到自己頭上，也不會離開的。
結果，名額還真落到他的頭上，之前說的話就跟放屁似的，也不管別人怎麽嘲諷，卷鋪蓋跑人了。
不過一個回城名額，都這麽使計策麻痹別人，然後背地裏悄悄活動，更別提工農兵大學的名額了。
所以翟弘毅真這麽想，也沒人相信他，反倒覺得他太有心機。
“你大爺那邊還沒有消息啊？怎麽讨論這麽長時間啊？”唐青青道。
“誰知道呢，大約是符合的人選太多了，大隊幹部內部也沒談攏吧。”
回城名額給誰，不是一個人說的算的，是整個生産隊幹部們讨論結果，然後送到上面去審核，通過了才能定下。
确定人選後，還要公示一段時間，如果有問題可以及時提出，保證公平性。
榕山大隊大隊長的公正也就體現在這裏，他都是按照程序辦事，不像一些大隊裏，那些大隊長搞的是一言堂，根本沒有民主選舉。
王黑子擔憂：“毅哥，你說你晚上睡覺不會被人用枕頭給捂死吧？”
翟弘毅沒好氣白了他一眼：“你今天的書背了嗎？這麽閑，我看你的作業還是太少了。”
王黑子哀嚎，連忙跟翟弘毅求饒。
大學名額的事還沒定下來，大隊裏就出了一件大事——女知青姜佩娥被人玷污了！
夏日早上天亮得快，五點多天就隐隐有些亮了。
很多村裏人這個時候就已經起來了，看人去砍柴看莊稼，女人們則帶着衣服到河邊去洗。
趁着日頭沒有升起，很多人就開始動起來了。
桂花嬸年紀大了，睡眠沒有以前好了，因此大家還沒起來，她就端着一大盆衣服拿到河邊去洗。
現在是夏天，每天幹活都出一身的汗，要是不天天洗澡，衣服上都能出鹽粒子。
桂花嬸是個愛幹淨的，所以每天都會讓家裏老小洗澡換衣服，然後第二天一大早她就拿去河邊去洗。
這一天，桂花嬸跟平常一樣，摸着黑去河邊。
她對這一條路已經非常熟悉了，哪裏有坑都一清二楚。
因此借助着非常微弱的光，她也能在小路上行走，不會被摔着。
等來到河邊的時候，就能看到天邊逐漸出現亮光。
可這一天她竟然看到有人比她還早，一開始她還吓了一跳，擔心是什麽不幹淨的東西。
現在雖然老是反對封建迷信，可桂花嬸還是覺得鬼怪是存在的。
桂花嬸小心翼翼地往前走，想要看那個身影到底是個什麽東西，并且做好随時跑路的準備。
還沒等她看清就聽到“噗通——”一聲，桂花嬸連忙叫了起來：“有人落水了，有人落水了！”
桂花嬸這下可以确定，這是個大活人跳水裏去了。
現在附近哪裏有人，她連忙放下手裏的盆，也沒多想就跳到水裏去撈人。
為了方便，一到了夏天女人們也是到河裏洗澡的。
只是大家會約一個固定的時間去固定的地方洗澡，那個時間點男人是不能靠近的，要是被捉住會被痛打一頓。
這是流傳很久的習慣，很多有水的地方，都會這麽幹，因此桂花嬸也會游泳。
河水并不深，這只是一條寬度不過六七米的小河，最深的地方也不過一米多不到兩米。
這還是雨水充沛的時候，等到了冬天，有的地段都沒能沒過膝蓋。
桂花嬸很快找到了跳水的人，一開始差點被那跳水的人拽得一塊往下沉，急得她猛地在水裏亂踹，還拽着落水者的頭發。
桂花嬸是幹慣農活的，折騰了一番，最終把落水的人給救了上來。
一上岸，桂花嬸就認出來這人是誰了，正是女知青姜佩娥。
桂花嬸把姜佩娥肚子裏的水給壓了出來，她漸漸恢複了意識。
看到桂花嬸，姜佩娥直接嚎啕大哭了起來。
“嬸兒，你讓我去死吧，我沒臉活着了！”
桂花嬸一聽，就知道壞菜了，肯定是發生了什麽不得了的事了，要不然一個大姑娘怎麽會跳河呢。
一個女人什麽情況下會說這樣的話，不用想就知道遇上啥事了。
桂花嬸連忙安慰姜佩娥：“閨女啊，咱們可不能這麽想。你應該想想你爸媽，他們要是知道自己閨女死在外頭，白發人送黑發人，這得多傷心啊。咱不能幹這種，自個遭罪，讓別人得意的事啊！”
姜佩娥哭得凄慘，“可，可我該怎麽辦啊。”
“這算啥事啊，就當被狗咬了一口。你先說說誰欺負你了？桂花嬸幫你教訓他！”
“我不知道。”
桂花嬸一驚：“啥？”
“天太黑了我看不清是誰，還被打暈了，醒來就發現……嗚嗚——”
桂花嬸猛地一拍大腿，這下更麻煩了，不知道那壞人是誰，要是逮不住他，要是再犯可怎麽辦啊！
桂花嬸也是有女兒的人，長得亭亭玉立的，也怕自己女兒遇到這樣的事啊。
再看姜佩娥頭上的傷，那人下手可真是狠啊！現在還流着血呢。
她也不管要洗的衣服了，帶着姜佩娥去找大隊長。
姜佩娥一開始還不樂意，擔心大家知道了，以後都瞧不上她。
“你死都不怕了，還怕這些嘛！再說了，你以後回城了，誰知道這邊發生了啥事啊。我之前還聽說有那知青已經結為夫妻的，後來能回城了，又不認了，人家不也過得好好的嗎。”
桂花嬸力氣大，幫姜佩娥随便包紮了幾下，就直接把姜佩娥連拖帶拽去找大隊長了。
大隊長一大早剛起床，就聽到自己大隊裏發生了這麽一件事，拿在手裏的煙鬥掉了都不知道。
“天殺的！要是讓我抓到是哪個畜生幹的，老子非扒了他的皮不可！”
這可是組織上派來的知青，要是在他們這裏出事，別說大隊長的位置了，還會連帶着被罰。
知青尤其是女知青在偏遠地區受本地人欺負的事，曾經出現過不少，他們公社有的大隊也鬧出來過。
組織知道以後，非常憤怒，狠狠地将那些人給罰了，這才消停了許多。
要是他們大隊也出了事，大隊長光是想想氣都不打一處來。
還好桂花嬸把人給救了，好歹沒有鬧出人命。
大隊長也顧不得以後會發生什麽，目前最重要的就是找到那個膽大妄為的人。
這樣的惡徒要是沒抓到，他們大隊的年輕媳婦和大姑娘都不敢出門了。
可姜佩娥一問三不知，根本說不出那個人什麽樣子，也不知道對方是什麽樣的人。
姜佩娥剛受到傷害，整個人處于驚恐之中，大隊長身為男人也不好問得太詳細，怕刺激到她，就讓桂花嬸先陪着她。
桂花嬸救了姜佩娥，而且還幫她擦藥包紮，現在她十分依賴桂花嬸，看到別人的時候都充滿了惶恐和不信任。
姜佩娥也不想回知青點，擔心會被人看出來她現在不幹淨了，會被他們嘲笑或是看不起。
大隊長就讓他留在自己家裏，把她安置在自家女孩的房間裏。
姜佩娥整個人蜷縮成一小團，眼神空洞無神，看起來可憐極了。
大隊長看她這個樣子，不由深深嘆了一口氣。
他也是有閨女的人，要是知道哪個王八羔子欺負自己女兒，非把對方的皮扒下來不可。
這件事事關姜佩娥的名譽，大隊長也沒有聲張，并且也讓大家別外傳，他則去找唐青青。
唐青青知道這件事眉頭頓時一皺，“怎麽有這麽惡心的人！叔，你放心，我一定會把他給揪出來的！”
“這件事咱們私下慢慢查就行，能瞞着就瞞着。要是事情傳了出去，只怕姜知青又得跳一次河。”
唐青青颔首：“大隊長，我知道輕重。”
唐青青原本想要去找姜佩娥，詢問當時的情況。
可大隊長說姜佩娥現在因為受到驚吓，整個人精神恍惚，不适合現在去問她的，就将當時的情況說給唐青青聽。
“她是昨天晚上就被那啥了，然後就被敲暈了。等醒過來的時候，已經幾個小時之後了。”
大隊長一個大男人跟唐青青一個小姑娘說這些事，總覺得有些張不開口，幹脆讓桂花嬸過來回答唐青青的問題。
她一直陪着姜佩娥，知道的事也更多。
唐青青好奇詢問：“姜知青為啥大晚上一個人出去啊？”
“說是去上廁所，她有些鬧肚子，又不好意思吵人睡覺，就自己一個人去上廁所了。”
唐青青點點頭，如果是去上小號，倒也不用跑太遠，屋子裏有尿桶。
可要是鬧肚子就沒辦法了，就得去比較遠的茅廁。
茅廁也是知青自己建的，當初他們嫌棄旱廁太臭，就把廁所建得比較遠。
“她出去的時候有人知道嗎？”
“那時候大家都睡熟了，她動作又比較輕，應該沒人知道。”
現在天已經亮了，知青點的人這時候已經醒過來了，卻沒有人發現姜佩娥一夜未歸，沒有人過來報告，估計都沒有發現她出事了。
“她啥時候去上的廁所？”
“她沒有表，說不準什麽時候，估摸是晚上十一二點。”
知青們活動多，睡得一般比村民都要晚，不過一般也不會超過十點。
姜佩娥剛睡下不久，還沒怎麽睡熟就覺得肚子不太舒服，就從床上爬了起來。
榕山大隊還算比較安全，大隊長管得比較嚴，沒有那種喜歡騷擾女知青的閑漢。
姜佩娥也就沒想太多，肚子疼得厲害就拿着草紙去廁所了。
現在正是忙碌的季節，而且知青們為了工農兵大學的名額，鉚足勁表現自己。
這段時間大家都累得很，睡得都比平時晚，姜佩娥也就不好意思把其他人給吵醒。
沒想到，偏偏她這一次半夜上廁所就出了事。
“她是先被那啥，然後被打暈的，還是先被打暈，然後被那啥的？”
“她說她從廁所出來，就有個大漢從身後捂住她的嘴，用刀頂着她，把她拉到草垛裏。她剛想掙紮，就被打暈了，醒過來就發現自己衣服沒穿好。”
唐青青點點頭，“行，我知道了，我現在去現場查看情況。”
桂花嬸：“青青，你可得趕緊把那畜生抓到，否則我這心裏實在是不踏實。”
“桂花嬸，你就放心吧，我不會讓罪犯逍遙法外的。”
桂花嬸舒了一口氣，又忍不住贊道：“不愧是上過學的，說話都跟以前不一樣了。”
唐青青先前往知青點廁所，才剛靠近就能聞到一股惡臭。
不過對于唐青青來說，早就已經習慣了，她淡定地捂住鼻子去查看地面上的腳印。
知青們現在還不知道發生了什麽事，看到廁所被封了，暫時不能使用，唐青青又在那蹲着不停地盯着地面，立刻明白肯定是發生了什麽事。
“神眼女俠，發生啥事了？你怎麽跑這裏來了？”
唐青青一開始還不知道是跟她說話，專心查看地面上的情況，并不理會外界的聲音。
又被叫了兩聲之後，唐青青才知道原來是在跟她說話。
唐青青也沒有解釋，只說：“你們換個地方吧。”
“你先說說發生啥事了呗，怎麽查案查到廁所門口了，難不成還有人偷糞便？”
男知青話音一落，大家夥不由都笑了起來。
雖然糞便是很好的肥料，有時候為了搶地上的牛糞，還會打起來，可想着要是人偷糞便，怎麽都覺得很好笑。
唐青青沒回答，繼續查看地面上的情況。
大隊長很快過來，将知青們都打發走，現場才恢複了平靜。
大隊長：“咋樣，有啥發現嗎？”
“現在還沒有。”唐青青直直地盯着地面，看得非常地仔細。
被壓彎的小草、被翻動的小石子，都會一一上前查看。
“那你在這裏看着，慢慢來不着急。這件事不好聲張，我把翟知青和黑子都打發走了，一會我讓婦女主任過來陪你。”
“不用，我一個人就行了。在咱們大隊上，不用這麽麻煩。”
現在已經進入忙碌的生産階段，大隊長看她拒絕也沒有堅持，交代了幾句就離開了。
唐興強很快得到消息竄過來了，平常唐青青去查案，從來不會帶着他，說他年紀太小，帶着他人家更不信她有碼蹤本事了。
唐興強每次都扼腕不已，他可聽說了，唐青青每次都有好吃好喝的招待。
瞧瞧唐青青現在竄得老高，臉也變得圓潤好看了，不就是吃出來的嗎！
他只恨不得自己一夜之間就竄得跟翟弘毅一樣高，可不管他怎麽祈求，還是小矮子一個。
現在知道唐青青就在村子裏查案，他立馬就溜過來了。
“姐，我來幫你啊。”
唐青青無語：“這裏臭死了，你來湊什麽熱鬧啊。”
唐興強捏着鼻子：“王黑子和翟知青都被安排去幹活了，我瞧着你沒幫手可怎麽行，就跑過來啦。你不用太感激，回頭有獎勵分給我一點就行。”
“用不着。”
翟弘毅和王黑子就算有空，唐青青也覺得沒必要叫他們。
在自己大隊裏，唐青青充滿安全感，而且非常地熟悉，身邊沒幫手也沒關系。
唐興強不贊同道：“姐，你這就不知道了吧。現在還沒抓到壞蛋，萬一人家再跑回來，你一個人蹲在這，那不就危險了！有我在，好歹能幫你報個信。”
“你知道我在查什麽？”
“不知道，消息沒傳出去，肯定就是不好說的事，既然不好說，那我就沒必要問呗。”
唐青青對這個弟弟很是服氣，小小年紀就是個人精。
她沒再趕他離開，就如同唐興強所說，萬一那個強X犯殺個回馬槍，她連叫救命都沒人聽見。
為了避免現場被破壞，大隊長把大家都組織到別的地方幹活，現在這一片都沒有人。
這裏的腳印非常雜亂，畢竟是大家每天都要來的地方。
查看許久，唐青青終于找到了姜佩娥的腳印，但是并沒有找到那個男人的腳印。
她順着姜佩娥的腳印一路追蹤，很快來到了姜佩娥被侵犯的地方。
原本紮好的草垛，現在被折騰得亂七八糟的，當時場面一定很激烈，所以歹徒才會将姜佩娥砸暈。
“姐，這裏有塊沾了血的石頭！”
唐興強指着地上嚷道，因為唐青青的叮囑，他沒敢去碰那塊石頭。
唐青青在石頭附近畫了個圈，唐興強好奇：“姐，你為啥在地上畫個圈啊。”
“這樣咱們就算把石頭拿起來，也不會忘了它之前在什麽地方。”
“知道地方又有啥用啊？”
“更好地反推當時的情形是什麽樣的。”
唐青青查看現場，依然沒有看到可疑的腳印。
這個人應該很小心，并不像是突發奇想，碰到姜佩娥所以才動手的，否則的話不會一點腳印都沒有留下來。
But if you squat by the toilet, then you are really relying on your luck.
In most cases, people don't want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, at most they want to go to the bathroom.
There are urine buckets in the educated youth center, so there is no need to run so far.
The educated youth ate together, and there was no possibility that Jiang Pei'e was drugged, so they expected her to come out to the toilet in the middle of the night.
Tang Qingqing could only attribute the fact to her own fame. Although the criminals might have committed crimes of passion, they were very careful, fearing that they would reveal their flaws and be tracked down by her.
Tang Qingqing did not lose heart. She slowly surveyed the surrounding area bit by bit, not missing any details.
Soon, Tang Qingqing saw a man's Huili shoe print about five or six meters away from the haystack.
The shoe print was on the back half of the right foot and was not very clear.
But this was enough to make Tang Qingqing happy, and she began to search the area more actively.
Without the assistance of Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi, her speed slowed down a lot. Tang Xingqiang followed her, yawning constantly out of boredom.
Originally, they thought Tang Qingqing was fooling them by asking them to observe the sheep, but now they realize how difficult this job is.
Tang Xingqiang had no interest in following the code to begin with, and after following it this time, he became even less interested and would rather die than learn it.
Tang Xingqiang saw Tang Qingqing was always circling around this area, so he stopped following her and squatted down to start playing with ants.
Meanwhile, Old Lady Zhou went to her chicken coop to check for eggs as usual, only to find that not only were there no eggs, but even the hens she had raised for a year were missing!
Old Mrs. Zhou searched around the chicken coop for a long time but saw nothing.
She hurried back to the house and asked her wife, "Mother Stone, did you touch the eggs today?"
Shitou's mother was a little unhappy when she heard this. "Mom, I didn't go near the chicken coop, so don't blame me for taking the eggs. Since I got married, I haven't been around since I got married, except for eating an egg during the confinement period."
Old Mrs. Zhou was particularly careful about the eggs in her home. They were one of the few things that farmers could exchange for money. Not only Shitou's mother, but even her eldest grandson Shitou was not allowed to get close to them.
"What's going on? Why are there no eggs today?"
"We only have two chickens at home. Isn't it normal that we can't even lay a single egg?"
The two hens in their house are quite amazing, laying at least one egg every day.
But there's always a chance that it might not be the case, and there's no certainty.
Old Mrs. Zhou was very unhappy. She had planned everything well, but today she didn't get any eggs.
"Have you seen our chickens?"
"It's in the chicken shed."
"There's only one in there, and the other one is missing."
Mother Stone wiped her hands and followed the old lady out to check the situation.
There was indeed only one chicken, and the fattest hen was missing.
At that time, a chicken was a very important property for a farmer's family.
Especially since this is a hen that is at the peak of its egg-laying period, even if someone offers to buy it, it may not be willing to sell it.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law searched for a long time but couldn't find their hen. They were very anxious.
"Where did it go?"
At this time Tang Qingqing also came here following the footprints and ran into Old Lady Zhou.
When Old Lady Zhou saw Tang Qingqing, she was very excited: "Qingqing, my chicken is missing. Can you help me find it?"
"Grandma, when did your chicken disappear?"
"It was still there last night, but it disappeared when I went to touch its eggs this morning. Stone Ma and I have been looking for it for a long time, but we can't find even a hair."
As he was talking, Stone's mother shouted, "There are chicken feathers here, they must be ours!"
Old Mrs. Zhou and Tang Qingqing hurried over and saw the chicken feather.
Tang Xingqiang was so anxious when he saw his sister being dragged over to look for prostitutes again that he stamped his feet. How could she do something else in the middle of her work?
"Sister, don't forget about this!"
Tang Qingqing ignored him and asked, "Auntie, how do you know this chicken feather belongs to your chicken?"
Old Mrs. Zhou snatched the chicken feathers and said affirmatively:
"It must be ours. Our chickens are so pretty. I can tell it's ours just by looking at the feathers."
Tang Qingqing looked at the ground, wanting to help them find clues, and saw the prints of a pair of Warrior shoes on the ground.
This shoe print belonged to the same person as the one she had seen before.
