Scar wandered around Dafang Village and didn't find anything, so he went back to discuss with Baldy.
"Time is running out. I asked around and found out that all the men in Dafang Village are guarding the manure pit today, so there shouldn't be many people squatting at the educated youth site. This is a good opportunity!"
Bald: "Guarding the cesspool? What are they doing guarding the cesspool?"
Scar: "It seems someone came to Dafang Village to steal manure last night!"
The bald man frowned. "Who would have nothing better to do than steal manure at this hour? There's something a little strange about that!"
After thinking about it for a while, the bald man pondered: "Ask again, something seems a little wrong."
Scar: "Is that kid awake? What did he say?"
The bald man cursed, "Damn it! If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered it. That guy refused to admit it! I don't believe the old farmer only had a few grains of millet. He must have other information!"
"I just don't know which bastard got it!"
After the two checked the information and returned to the place where Li Zhigao was kidnapped, they found that he was gone.
Both of them looked changed.
"Damn it, he ran away, chase him!"
…
After Li Zhigao escaped, he did not call the police immediately, but ran back to the educated youth site quickly.
I opened a notebook hidden in the firewood pile in the woodshed and was about to go out when I saw other educated youth coming back from outside.
When Xu Yishu and others saw Li Zhigao, they were surprised.
"Zhi Gao, where have you been? We couldn't find you anywhere and even called the police."
"What are you doing with a notebook in your hand?"
Li Zhigao's breathing became irregular for a moment, then he smiled and said calmly, "I spent the night outside and went to the scrap yard to collect some textbooks and other things. I want to study hard."
It is now 1976, and people are not so taboo about cultural knowledge, and many people buy books to read.
Xu Yishu and the others didn't say anything, but looked at him with a slightly complicated look.
Li Zhigao didn't care about anything else. After finally fooling everyone else, he left the educated youth site and went straight to the commune.
Just as he passed the old pomelo tree and before leaving the village, a group of policemen came towards him and looked at him with stern expressions.
"Comrade Li Zhigao, we suspect you of engaging in espionage activities. Please cooperate with our investigation."
Li Zhigao's expression suddenly changed.
He asked cautiously, "What evidence do you have?"
Tian Suyun walked out from behind the police and sneered.
"Li Zhigao, don't think I don't know that you're often sneaking around and hanging around the research site!"
Li Zhigao frowned, and the look he gave her suddenly became terrifying: "Are you staring at me?"
Tian Suyun was subconsciously frightened by this look, but soon she regained her composure.
With the public security comrades around, what is she afraid of?
She looked him in the eye without fear: "Li Zhigao, you're such a wicked wretch! I've hated you for a long time! If I hadn't been keeping an eye on you, how could I have discovered such a big secret of yours?"
Under the police's intimidating gaze, Li Zhigao had no choice but to follow them.
Police station interrogation room.
The interrogator looked at Li Zhigao with a smile.
"Comrade Li Zhiyuan, when did you exchange identities with Li Zhigao?"
Li Zhigao suddenly looked up, his face full of shock.
…
"Damn it! How on earth did that guy escape? I searched him and tied him up tightly!"
"I don't know when this kid ran away! Don't let me catch him again. If he falls into my hands again, I will make him pay!"
Baldy and Scar cursed loudly as they followed the traces.
Before they knew it, they had left the small path and were walking on the main road.
The bald man thought for a moment with a sullen face, then cursed again.
"Damn it, this kid must have run back to the educated youth center in Dafang Village!"
"What should we do then?"
"What else can we do? You go to Dafang Village and I'll go get some information somewhere else!"
The person has already run away, and Dafang Village is now under the police's attention, so the two of them dare not act rashly.
But we can’t just sit there and wait for death, and let all our previous efforts go to waste!
Scar said bitterly, "That guy is no ordinary guy! He must have something in his hand!"
If you haven't received professional training, how can you possibly untie such a special knot?
The already dark sky became even darker, and the two realized that dusk had fallen.
Although the weather was bad, there was no second rain. The laborers in Dafang Village began to guard not far from the manure pit according to their divided teams.
The reason I didn't stay by the side was that the pit was too smelly.
Several educated youth were assigned to guard the night, so they went to bed early.
Xu Yishu was suddenly awakened by the urge to urinate. He got out of bed to go to the bathroom and suddenly found someone sneaking around the educated youth site. He immediately screamed.
"Someone! Someone come quickly! There's a thief! I saw a thief!"
Scar was caught off guard by the sound and was so frightened that he shuddered and turned and ran away.
Xu Yishu didn't even bother to pee, and ran after him, shouting as he ran.
Scar was in such a panic that he didn't know where to go. It was late at night, so he ran in the wrong direction and ran towards the village.
This time, he bumped into the villagers who came following the noise, and they immediately pinned Scar to the ground!
"So it's you, the dung thief! We finally caught you!"
"Lock him up! Send him to the police station tomorrow!"
Scar yelled, "I'm not here to steal shit!"
"Then why are you sneaking into our village in the middle of the night?"
"If they're not stealing feces, could they be stealing something else?"
"Could he be a spy?"
"Damn, he must have done nothing good!"
Scar was captured tragically.
The next morning, the villagers took Scar to the police station, and the police handcuffed him on the spot.
By the time the villagers were ready to go home, the rain started again.
Someone complained: "Why is it raining at this hour?"
"Let's hide here from the rain before we go."
"I think it's okay. It's raining today anyway, so it's not convenient to go to work."
Just when everyone was hiding from the rain, several policemen came back in the rain, escorting a man.
A few villagers followed behind, cursing.
The people in Dafang Village recognized the people here at a glance. Isn’t this from Zhoujiaqiao next door?
The villagers of Zhoujiaqiao cursed, "Comrade police, thank goodness you showed up! Otherwise, our village's manure would have been stolen by that damn thief!"
"Why steal feces when you can steal anything else? What a pervert! Isn't this harming others and not benefiting yourself?"
The police who were escorting the spy were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"He's not some dung thief, he's a secret agent!"
"Spy? Even spies can't steal shit!"
The people from Zhoujiaqiao had already known about this along the way, but they still couldn't stop scolding the man for stealing feces.
When the people in Dafang Village heard this, they realized that it was this kid who stole the manure!
They immediately started cursing.
The two spies present looked at each other with despair on their faces.
They took every precaution and evaded the police, but were defeated by this group of people!
