That night, several groups of people secretly went to the big pit to worship and pray for the ancestors' blessings. Everyone tacitly believed that this was the punishment of the ancestors. From then on, everyone secretly worshipped their ancestors again.
Even the town sent people to investigate the matter. After all, it was too unbelievable. It didn't rain, but a big thunder struck here. People suspected that it was because of feudal superstition that offended the ancestors.
Li Mingxi didn't know what others thought, so she entered the space that night and asked Yue Ze.
She looked slightly angry and stared at Yue Ze, "Tell me, was it you who did this today?"
Yue Ze raised his head unhappily. "You're overthinking it. I don't have that much power. I've already told you that you can't afford the consequences of not listening to me. You also know that this world is originally empty. If you don't do as I say, it won't be long before this world disappears."
Logically speaking, Li Mingxi shouldn't believe this, but having read many novels about time travel in her previous life, and what happened today, she had to accept this fact.
"So if I do what you ask, will everything return to normal?"
Yueze: "That's natural."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Li Mingxi left the space and thought deeply for a long time but could not think of a solution. After all, contacting them was not an easy task. It was difficult to do it without arousing suspicion. After all, there were so many Red Guards watching them every day. It would be better if no one was watching them.
It seemed like a coincidence. After a few days, Li Mingxi found that no one was watching Su Wangshan and the others. But even so, it was not easy to contact them. After all, each of these people was more cunning than the other, so Li Mingxi never got the chance.
That day, Li Mingxi happened to be returning home from school. From a distance, he saw an old lady among the people who had been sent down to the countryside. She was rushing to the brigade in a hurry. It looked like something big had happened to her.
Li Mingxi thought about what he was going to do next. Only by knowing both himself and his enemy could he complete the task better, so he followed her quietly.
She looked expectant and spoke nervously, "Captain, can you help find a doctor? Lao Gu has a fever and has been having it all night. I'm really worried he won't make it."
The reason why Gu Weiyi had a fever was that a small leader who had just been promoted to the top of the Red Guards two days ago, in order to show off, deliberately dragged those who had been demoted out for criticism.
In order to curry favor with the little leader, the soldiers acted a little harshly, and Gu Weiyi's body could not bear it, so he fell ill that night.
Li Tiezhu also knew about this. Although he was dissatisfied with it, he couldn't say anything.
He looked at the old lady standing in front of him with an embarrassed expression. Although he didn't want to agree, he couldn't get over it in his heart.
"You know what's going on with you guys. It's definitely not possible to call a doctor. Who knows what others would say if they saw you. How about this? I'll find one of the kids to bring you some medicine. As for whether you can pull through, it all depends on luck."
Chen Shuangqing's eyes instantly filled with tears, and she kept bowing to Li Tiezhu, "Thank you so much, Captain!"
Li Tiezhu waved his hand, "No need to thank me, you should go back quickly, otherwise if someone sees you, you'll get into trouble again."
After Chen Shuangqing left, he began to regret that he had just agreed to find someone to deliver the medicine to her out of weakness. Where could he find someone to deliver the medicine to her? What if someone found out?
Li Mingxi looked at Li Tiezhu sighing continuously, and guessed that his grandfather must be worried at the moment. However, for others, this was something they could not avoid, but for him, it was something he was eager to have.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? You keep sighing."
As soon as Li Tiezhu turned around and saw Li Mingxi, he immediately had an idea. After all, his brother's little granddaughter was the smartest child he had ever seen. It would definitely be okay to let her go, but then he thought, what if something happened?
Just as I was hesitating, I heard her speak again, "Grandpa, what are you worried about? Can I help you?"
Looking at Xiaoxi standing in front of him, he thought that he could help cover up for the child. Besides, the child was smart, so he made up his mind and asked, "Xiaoxi, can you do Grandpa a favor?"
Li Mingxi blinked in confusion, "What help?"
Li Tiezhu said carefully, "They're the people living in the cowshed. One of them has a grandfather who's seriously ill. Can you help him get some medicine?"
When Li Mingxi heard this, wasn't this exactly what he wanted? But he couldn't express it directly, so he could only continue to pretend not to understand, "Grandpa, why don't you go and send it off yourself? Grandma said I can't come into contact with those people."
Li Tiezhu patiently coaxed, "Because Grandpa has always heard that Xiaoxi is very smart, so he wants to see how smart Xiaoxi is. So do you want to prove yourself?"
"I think I will complete the task."
Li Tiezhu was a little worried and kept telling Li Mingxi not to say anything when they arrived at the cowshed, to go home after delivering the medicine, and not to tell anyone else about this.
Li Mingxi readily agreed, so Li Tiezhu went to the village doctor to get two packets of Chinese medicine and asked her to deliver them.
After receiving the order, Li Mingxi happily went to the cowshed. He first looked around to see if there was anyone around. After finding that there was no one around, he quickly slipped into the cowshed. What he saw was shocking.
The conditions were harsh, but they were very dirty. After going in for a while, Li Mingxi couldn't stand it anymore. She really couldn't imagine how people could live in such an environment.
At this time, Chen Shuangqing was wiping Gu Weiyi's face. When she saw someone coming into the room, she looked alert. Only when Li Mingxi said that she was there to deliver medicine did she relax her guard. Then Li Mingxi completed his task and went home.
After dinner in the evening, Yue Ze came forward to ask as soon as he entered the space.
"Why don't you take this opportunity to befriend her today?"
Li Mingxi looked helpless. "This matter is not as simple as you think. We have to take it step by step. Otherwise, if I approach her and become too friendly, she will definitely guess what my ulterior motive is."
Yue Ze also felt that there was some truth in what he said, so he did not refute it.
After that, through the action of delivering medicine last time, Li Mingxi gradually became familiar with Su Wangshan and others, and Gu Weiyi also discovered that Li Mingxi was a different kind of child, and insisted on taking her as his apprentice, which made her very happy.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. When the Red Guards heard about the Dongfeng Brigade, they were afraid of divine punishment and became more restrained. The big pit also gradually became smaller with the passage of time. This miraculous change naturally attracted many people from the surrounding area to come here secretly to worship.
During this period, there was a steady stream of educated youth coming to the Dongfeng Brigade, but no one was sent down to the countryside.
As for the first batch of educated youth, Yang Qiangjun and Zhang Guowei joined the army, Chen Mengli and Lin Jianwei got married after being criticized, Zhao Xiuer married Li Guodong, and the remaining two, Li Qiang and Wang Hongxia, still have no whereabouts.
