Chapter 026: Internal and External Collaboration
Seeing Ye Qing's terribly gloomy face, he looked like an evil spirit.
Song Huilian recalled the fear of being controlled by the silver needle in this person's hand, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. She asked cautiously:
"Sister, what...what happened? Isn't this person...a spy?"
Ye Qing raised his head and glanced at Song Huilian:
"No, this person is much more vicious and dangerous than the spies you imagined before! You did a good job. If you hadn't told me that there was something wrong with this person, I'm afraid he would have succeeded in his plan and escaped today!"
This is not a spy, this is an agent level!
When Song Huilian heard this, she was overjoyed: "Then should I -"
Song Huilian wanted to ask Ye Qing if she could be released and no longer have to face the surrender and death threats that Ye Qing had mentioned before.
Ye Qing patted her on the shoulder and said sternly:
"You stay here and close the door so no one can enter. You also have to watch this person to prevent him from waking up and escaping or self-destructing. Can you complete this mission?"
Song Huilian swallowed her saliva. She actually wanted to run away, but due to Ye Qing's tyranny, she nodded obediently.
Ye Qing slammed the door from the outside, and then ran towards the VIP compartment at full speed.
Carriage No. 3 was still heavily guarded. Seeing Ye Qing running over with sweat all over his face, the two guards at the gate immediately looked surprised.
But they knew that Ye Qing had just successfully cured the illness of Luo Guo's foreign guest last night, and that she was now being valued by the leaders of the reception group. She was so anxious, there must be something wrong.
The two guards quickly opened the door but remained on guard:
"Comrade Ye, what can I do for you?"
Ye Qing could not explain more, he just waved his hands at the other party, panting and saying:
"Please call Secretary Tian inside. I have important information to report to the leader."
The guards looked at each other, one of them remained on guard while the other hurried in to call for help.
Soon, Secretary Tian came out. He wondered why Ye Qing didn't sleep in Carriage No. 5, but came here again. Thinking of the illness of the foreign guest from Luo State, he couldn't help but think:
"What's the matter, Comrade Xiaoye? Is there any problem with Mr. Carl's illness that has not been solved?"
Ye Qing looked to the side.
Secretary Tian thought Ye Qing was worried that it was inconvenient to say it outside, so he hurried to lead the person inside, but was grabbed by Ye Qing.
Ye Qing's eyes were anxious, and he lowered his voice and approached Secretary Tian:
"There is a spy in the carriage, and I suspect he is related to these foreign guests. I have stabbed him with a needle and he is unconscious. He is now in the bathroom. Please talk to the leader and send someone to come with me to deal with it!"
Ye Qing's words frightened Secretary Tian greatly. He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Ye Qing in disbelief.
Ye Qing nodded heavily and emphasized:
"Hurry up, or I'm afraid my needle will become ineffective soon!"
Secretary Tian reacted and said quickly, "Okay, you wait here, I'll go in and report to the leader first!"
As he spoke, Secretary Tian walked in hastily and hurriedly.
After a few minutes, the old comrade and a middle-aged man in green military uniform came out in a hurry.
The green military uniform at this time was still the Type 71, which was modified based on the Type 65, and was generally divided into training uniforms and casual uniforms.
This soldier was wearing a casual uniform, so his military rank could not be seen, but judging from his age, aura, and the fact that he was accompanying foreign guests in the visiting group, he must be at least a colonel.
As soon as he saw Ye Qing, the old comrade asked in a deep voice:
"Where is he?"
Ye Qing turned around and ran towards Carriage No. 7: "Follow me!"
The sleeper car was still quite empty, unlike the hard seat area which was crowded, so even though they crossed four cars, they were actually quite fast. In less than two minutes, they had already reached the connection between car No. 7 and the dining car.
Ye Qing knocked on the toilet door.
Song Huilian's cautious voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Ye Qing felt relieved.
Fortunately, this agent had not received any special physical strengthening training and had no immunity to the needles she inserted into his sleeping point. Otherwise, if he woke up in the middle of the attack, there would be no way he could deal with a little thief like Song Huilian.
"It's me." Ye Qing quickly reminded.
The toilet door was immediately opened from the inside. The little girl's face turned pale. It was obvious that she was very nervous and frightened to be locked in the toilet alone with a spy. However, because it was a task assigned to her by Ye Qing, she did not dare to refuse and could only stay inside.
Now Ye Qing finally came back, and the tension that had been on her mind for so long finally relaxed.
"Wuwuwuwu, sister, you are finally back. I was almost scared to death——"
The little girl was just about to take credit to Ye Qing, but when she was halfway through her words, she suddenly glanced back and choked on the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Her pupils shrank because she saw three people following Ye Qing, one of whom was actually wearing a PLA uniform!
This look really frightened the little girl to the point of almost losing her soul.
She immediately shrank into the corner like a quail, not daring to move, trying her best to reduce her presence.
Ye Qing couldn't bear to watch.
Tsk tsk tsk, he is so useless. When he sees a PLA soldier, he acts like a chick seeing an eagle. He is so frightened and still has the nerve to look down on that old beggar who performs monkey shows!
Ye Qing pushed the kid aside, revealing the person inside, and then pointed to the suitcase next to him:
"This man was a passenger in the 5th row of carriage 7. I don't know his name. He brought the suitcase with him. I used a sewing needle to prick his acupuncture points while he was using the toilet. My wife probably won't wake up for half an hour."
"Inside the suitcase, there is a standard-issue pistol, an antique, and this."
As he spoke, Ye Qing wrapped his hands with a handkerchief, picked up the bottle of tranexamic acid oral capsules and handed it to the old comrade:
"This medicine is exactly the same as the daily medicine that I saw Mr. Carl taking this morning. I suspect this person replaced the medicine that the foreign guest took!"
These words shocked the three people who followed.
Several people originally thought that Ye Qing had caught just a simple spy, but who knew that this spy was actually related to the assassination investigation team!
The PLA comrade squatted down first to search the agent for anything hidden on his body.
Soon, a watch and a ballpoint pen were taken out from the agent's body.
The watch was quickly opened. The PLA comrade's expression turned gloomy and he said in a cold voice:
"It's a watch-style micro camera. I'm not sure what the film inside captured, but it is definitely a tool that Su Xiu and the Eagle Spy have often used to steal secrets in the past two years!"
As for the ballpoint pen, the other party was extremely cautious when picking it up and did not dare to touch the button on the pen cap.
"This is a suicide pen. It contains explosives. Once the button on the top is pressed, the ballpoint pen will explode. The force may not be great, but it will be enough to destroy him and the suitcase he is carrying."
Ye Qing was secretly frightened when he heard this.
She didn't expect that agents in the 1970s already had so many sophisticated and covert methods.
It was all thanks to her that she didn't give the agent any time to react when she dealt with him before, otherwise if he really pulled the suicide pen, it would be all over!
After removing all the potentially dangerous items from the agent's possession one by one, the PLA comrade began to rummage through the suitcase.
But just as he squatted down to turn over the items inside, the old comrade who had been silent all of a sudden shouted in a deep and urgent voice:
"Xiao Zhang, open the cloth package and take out the things inside!"
When Colonel Zhang heard this, he quickly unwrapped the cloth.
As soon as the antiques inside were taken out, the old comrades who had been relatively calm before took a breath, and Secretary Tian was so angry that he was furious.
"This is the Nine Dragon Gold Cup that we specially transferred from Nanjing when we hosted them in Shencheng before! How did it appear here?" Secretary Tian's brain was about to explode.
Ye Qing was a little puzzled: "What gold cup? Is it valuable?"
"What do you think? This is the treasure of the Jinling Museum! After the Luo Kingdom delegation arrived in Shanghai, some of the foreign guests expressed their interest in our country's cultural treasures. So out of respect and courtesy to the foreign guests, we specially transferred dozens of cultural relics from Jinling for them to view, including this Nine Dragon Gold Cup! This bastard actually stole the treasure of the museum!"
Secretary Tian was so angry that he didn't care whether his status was appropriate or not, and he even started swearing!
Ye Qing was no longer calm now.
A national treasure, so it must be a unique piece worth a fortune, right?
Logically speaking, for such a high-level reception, the coordination of each link should be very strict, especially the cultural relics taken out from the museum, which must be carefully counted and returned to the Jinling Museum after being viewed by foreign guests.
So how did this agent get this golden cup out?
And they stole the golden cup, planning to take it out of the country directly through the Mohe River, right? This is too shameless and too outrageous!
Ye Qing thought again about the incident with the foreign guest group and the situation of the agent, and slowly she began to figure out what was going on.
She suddenly raised her head and looked towards the old comrade, her eyes filled with shock and enlightenment.
Oh my god, could it be that there was someone inside the Luo country visiting group who took advantage of the time when the reception group took out the cultural relics for the guests to display and view, and collaborated with this agent?
Thinking of this, the more Ye Qing thought about it, the more frightened he became.
If this is true, is it the individual behavior of a few individuals, or is there something wrong with the entire visiting group?
If there are problems, it means that this group of people had ulterior motives from the beginning when they came to Xia Country for this visit. They had planned to cause trouble in Xia Country a long time ago, right?
Ye Qing felt that her brain was almost not enough.
If it's the latter, then it's really fucked up! These bastards, have they been brainwashed and instigated by the Ocean, and are here to cause trouble and destruction to Xia Country, right?
Damn it! Ye Qing was very angry. She felt that it was a complete waste of her efforts to treat the foreign guest from Luo State last night. It would be better for the bastard to just die!
Ye Qing couldn't control her anger anymore. She wanted to rush to carriage No. 3 and give each of the foreign guests a shot, killing them all!
Seeing that Ye Qing's eyes were about to spit fire, the old comrade was stunned for a moment, and then he actually revealed a somewhat soothing smile.
"Young girl, don't be so impetuous. Just get the things back. You did a great job today. As for how to deal with the rest of the problems, leave it to us old guys. That's all you have to do. Don't think too much. Do you understand?"
The old comrade patted Ye Qing on the shoulder and signaled her to relax.
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he seemed to have worried too much and crossed the line.
Indeed, once this happened, the country would definitely launch a thorough investigation. Such a big case would definitely be handled by capable people. It was already very good that she could simply and roughly act as a thug and fight on the front line, but higher-level things, such as how to play the game with the big country behind the scenes, were not something that a commoner like her should consider. With her IQ, it was probably not enough.
Ye Qing quickly gathered his thoughts and sincerely apologized to his grandfather:
"I'm sorry, I was really emotional and a little excited!"
"You're right. Anyway, the person has been caught. Professionals should do their own thing. How to interrogate and investigate should be left to the public security comrades to handle. I won't get involved."
Having said that, Ye Qing wisely prepared to leave.
However, she glanced and saw Song Huilian, who was sitting in the corner with her hands and feet tucked in, not saying a word.
The corner of her mouth suddenly curled up and she waved at the little thief.
Song Huilian thought Ye Qing was going to ask her to leave, so she suddenly became alert and quickly moved closer to Ye Qing, ready to run away with her.
Who knew that in the next second, silver needles flew in Ye Qing's palm and pierced the little girl's neck with a clean and crisp needle.
Song Huilian stared at Ye Qing in astonishment, then her vision went dark and she fainted on the ground.
Before she fell into coma, she couldn't believe that Ye Qing would go back on his word and lie to her!
Seeing that this little thief finally suffered a loss at his hands because of his trust in him, Ye Qing felt extremely happy.
If you dare to lie to her, you must be prepared to be retaliated against!
After finally winning the game, the frustration that Ye Qing had been holding in his heart finally dissipated, and a sly smile flashed across his eyes.
Secretary Tian and Colonel Zhang were startled by Ye Qing's move. They stared at her in a daze, not knowing what she was doing.
The old comrade, however, remained calm and just asked Ye Qing with a smile:
"Isn't this person your friend? What are you doing?"
Ye Qing cleared his throat twice and quickly explained Song Huilian's situation in a concise manner.
The old comrade looked at Ye Qing: "So?"
Ye Qing chuckled:
"This little girl did make a mistake. Theft is a crime that should never be taken lightly. She should be sentenced accordingly."
"I mainly think that she has such a special ability, and it would be a waste of talent if we don't make good use of it."
"She is only twelve or thirteen years old. If she has a teacher who can supervise her strictly and guide her correctly, she may become a pillar of society in the future."
"So considering that she has done a good job in catching the spy today, can you give her a hand and get her into the military or some other training camp for special training?"
"With her nose, I think she can be a good police officer to catch criminals and search and rescue people, in addition to being a thief."
"If that doesn't work, then train her to be a non-staff member of the intelligence agency, specializing in arresting spies lurking among the people. She will definitely be able to do it!"
The old comrade gave Ye Qing a deep look:
"You are the one who caught the spy. She just provided you with some information. Why do you just give her the credit so easily? Why don't you fight for yourself?"
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then she understood the implicit hint in the old comrade's words, and then she smiled calmly:
"If I say I am indifferent to fame and fortune, you won't believe me. I myself think it's nonsense."
"But I think the future of this child is more important than the little reward I asked for from you."
"She is now at a critical crossroads, whether she will become successful or do evil in the future, so I want to give her a push and make a choice for her."
The old comrade laughed immediately.
He was delighted, appreciative and impressed by the little girl Ye Qing from the bottom of his heart.
This was definitely the most unexpected and curious child he had met in recent years.
"Where are you going to join the queue?" the old comrade suddenly asked.
Ye Qing was puzzled, but still told the other party where she was going.
The old man nodded and waved his hand to signal Ye Qing to retreat quickly.
"Okay, I understand what you mean. Go back and rest for a while. We'll be arriving at Mist City soon. Leave the matters here to us. As for the female thief, I will make arrangements according to your requirements and make sure she is straightened."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Ye Qing stopped talking and turned around and left happily.
Everything was solved smoothly, and Ye Qing was finally able to have a good night's sleep. She closed the door of the private room and fell into a deep sleep peacefully.
It was almost noon when there was a knock on the box door.
Ye Qing hurriedly got up from the bed. Secretary Tian was waiting outside with a lunch box. When he saw her open the door, he smiled and said,
"Comrade Ye, the train is a little late for an hour. It will arrive in Wusong City around 12:30. The leader told you to have lunch before picking up your luggage in the hard sleeper car. You will definitely make it in time."
Ye Qing quickly nodded and thanked him.
Secretary Tian put down the lunch box and left. Ye Qing opened the lunch box and was surprised by the sumptuous lunch.
Well, braised pork, steamed sea bass, taro spareribs and mu shu pork, these four dishes alone filled two lunch boxes, and there were two aluminum lunch boxes filled with rice, two full boxes of super large portions of rice, which you can't finish in one meal.
Ye Qing vaguely understood that Secretary Tian did it on purpose. He knew that she was working in the countryside and might not arrive at the commune's production team until the evening, so he simply solved her dinner problem.
Having done such a great contribution, Ye Qing was not polite to just eat two lunch boxes. She ate two of the dishes and one of the lunch boxes, and planned to pack up the rest along with the lunch boxes and take them away.
After dinner, seeing that it was already past twelve o'clock, Ye Qing did not dawdle any longer and hurried to her hard sleeper compartment with her lunch box.
In the hard sleeper car, many people were discussing quietly, wondering what was going on because Ye Qing had left in a hurry yesterday and had not returned.
The banner of the Five Good Family awarded to the Ye family by the Revolutionary Committee was not completely useless. At least because of the report in the Shanghai Morning Post, many passengers in the carriage paid special attention to her.
After seeing that she had not returned all night, the uncle sitting opposite Ye Qing even went to find the train conductor to explain the matter, fearing that Ye Qing might have had an accident.
Fortunately, after finding out the situation, the train conductor came back and told him that Ye Qing was fine and had just been transferred to a sleeper car.
When these words were spoken, everyone else in the car was very surprised and curious.
I don't know what this lesbian named Ye Qing did at home before, but she was able to get a bunk bed.
You have to know that at that time, sleeper berths on trains could only be purchased through connections of the employer. Only when you were on a business trip would the employer issue you a letter of introduction. If an ordinary person did not have the means to purchase a sleeper berth, it would be useless even if he had money.
However, although these people were curious, they had absolutely no other thoughts about Ye Qing transferring to the sleeper car.
But Yin Shuang and Li Juan are different.
After two days and two nights of torment, their patience had run out and their emotions were on the verge of becoming irritable. Now that they knew that Ye Qing could actually sleep in the sleeper compartment, they instantly became unbalanced and their eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred towards Ye Qing.
Li Juan gnashed her teeth in anger. It was all Yin Shuang's fault! If she hadn't said she wanted to avenge her aunt, why would she target Ye Qing?
Even though the two families have a grudge against each other, she has to bite the bullet and play the role of good sister with Ye Qing to see if she can get into the sleeper compartment and have a few hours of good sleep!
This damn hard-seat carriage is not meant for human beings. After sitting on the train for two days and two nights, she is almost falling apart. How comfortable it would be if she could lie down in a sleeper carriage!
Ye Qing is too selfish and has no manners! She was so secretive about being able to buy a berth. If she had told me earlier that she had such a way, she wouldn't have targeted her!
Yin Shuang was even more regretful.
After learning from Ye Qing that Li Rulan was not her biological mother, Yin Shuang realized that the Li family had been deliberately playing a trick on her from the beginning to the end, and that Li Rulan's so-called deep affection for her father was all acted and was simply a joke!
She didn't know who Li Rulan's lover was, but because the woman was pregnant with her lover's child, Yin Shuang had some bad suspicions in her heart.
Is there a hidden reason behind her father's demotion? Is Yin Zhao, whom she has loved for many years, her father's biological son?
The more I thought about Yin Shuang, the more terrified I became.
On the other hand, Li Rulan was arrested after being reported by Ye Lijun, which was completely to get rid of harm for her. In other words, Ye Lijun was not her enemy at all, but her benefactor!
But she regarded Ye Lijun as the enemy who "murdered her mother". As soon as she got on the train, she instigated Li Juan to charge into the battle line, trying to use Li Juan to deal with Ye Qing. She even thought of killing him directly on the train. Step by step, she offended Ye Qing completely!
If it weren't for all the things that happened before, maybe she and Ye Qing would be truly suitable to be sisters.
Ye Qing is smart and her family is of good origin. Her family can even find a way to buy a bed for her to go to the countryside, which shows that she is highly valued in the Ye family. Such a person is evenly matched with her, and it is most appropriate for them to stick together and rely on each other when they go to the countryside!
But now, Yin Shuang knew that her image in Ye Qing's mind had already fallen to the bottom. It was probably hopeless to let Ye Qing break these inherent impressions and reconcile with her.
The more Yin Shuang thought about it, the angrier she became. She clenched her fists and said nothing, looking at Li Juan with increasingly unfriendly eyes.
She doesn't know whether Li Juan is a idiot or not, but she is definitely the dumbest idiot in the world. She takes a thief as her mother and is played around by the Li family without knowing it!
Ye Qing had no idea that this pair of fake sisters had now become "unfair couples" who hated each other and wished each other dead. After returning to the carriage, she calmly sat back in her seat. In response to the curious inquiries of the people around her, she just made a few perfunctory remarks, but did not mention a word about what happened in the VIP area.
It was only about 10 to 20 minutes after I sat down that the train announcement began:
"Dear passengers, the next stop of the train is Mist City Station..."
When they heard that they had arrived at Frost City, the passengers who were getting off at this stop breathed a sigh of relief. After more than fifty hours of agony, they could finally get off the train. Who wouldn't be excited?
They all happily started to carry their luggage and walked towards the door.
Ye Qing also pulled out the two snakeskin bags that he had stuffed under the seat.
Before picking it up, she calmly checked the mark she had made on the bag. Good, it had not been opened by anyone.
She was immediately relieved, because it seemed that no one had touched her things when she was not in this carriage last night.
As the crowd rushed out, a chill hit my face as I got off the car.
The climate in Shanghai was still at the tail end of summer, but in Wusong City it felt very clearly like late autumn. The wind blew so hard that Ye Qing, who was used to the southern climate, couldn't help shivering.
She suddenly felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have not prepared a quilt and cotton jacket in advance for the sake of convenience. If it suddenly snowed in the countryside, she would be frozen to death.
It looked like after arriving at Kaoshantun, she would have to find an excuse to go to town, get some cotton, and bring back the autumn and winter quilts and jackets just in case.
As she thought about this, Ye Qing followed the group forward. She didn't know the way, nor did she know where the exit was. She walked out of the station in a daze. Just as she was feeling lost, she heard someone shouting in the square over there:
"Educated youth who went to the countryside, please gather at the Grand Square. Educated youth who went to the countryside, please gather at the Grand Square!"
Ye Qing hurriedly followed the sound and walked towards the square.
The so-called big square is actually just a cement floor with seven or eight tractors parked on it. On each tractor, someone is holding a sign with the name of the county written on it.
Ye Qing had sharp eyes and saw "Jiaotan County" at a glance. She hurriedly picked up her luggage and walked up quickly. She took out the certificate for going to the countryside that she had taken out in advance and asked the middle-aged man holding the sign:
"Comrade, may I ask if we should gather at your place to go to Kaoshantun?"
The man took a look at the certificate in Ye Qing's hand and nodded:
"Yes, put your luggage on the bus and wait beside it. We will leave after everyone arrives. Three groups of educated youth will arrive at the station today, so we have to wait for them."
Ye Qing noticed that there were already six or seven educated youth squatting nearby, and she estimated that they were all going to Jiaotan County like her. She looked at the luggage piled on the tractor and immediately had a bad feeling.
If there were three batches of educated youth, how many people would that be? I guess there would be about 20 to 30? With so many people and luggage, wouldn't they all have to squeeze into this tractor?
Before she could figure it out, a large group of educated youth on the same train as her came out.
Because most people had more luggage than Ye Qing, they were not as fast as Ye Qing in leaving the station. At this time, hundreds of educated youth came over with large and small bags, and each county was assigned fourteen or fifteen people.
The person in charge of receiving us was used to it and still said, "Put your luggage on the tractor and wait over there. We can't leave until everyone is gathered together."
Ye Qing had already had lunch in the car, so she didn't mind waiting a little longer. However, the other educated youth looked unhappy.
Yin Shuang and Li Juan dragged their feet and finally moved the things to the square. They were both in a state of panic. Compared with Ye Qing, who was drinking water from a military water bottle next to the tractor leisurely, the difference was so obvious that they were both so stimulated that their faces turned green.
But this stimulus was clearly not enough.
Just when Ye Qing was worried that he would have to squeeze into a tractor with dozens of people to go back to Jiaotan County, a green military truck suddenly drove into the square.
No one thought much of it at first, but the green military truck drove straight to the tractor in the square and stopped. Soon, a man in green military uniform jumped out of the vehicle.
The green soldier scanned the reception signs in front of the tractor, and finally fixed his eyes on the sign that said "Jiaotan County". He took a few quick steps and came to the man in charge of receiving the educated youth:
"Hello, comrade. Are you the person in charge of the Youth Educated Office of Jiaotan County?"
The person in charge was a little confused, but he quickly stood up and said, "Yes, that's me."
The man in green military uniform saluted, took out a military ID from his pocket, handed it to the other party, and then said:
"Hello, I have received an order from my superiors to escort a young educated youth named Ye Qing to Kaoshantun, Guixian County. Do you know where Ye Qing is?"
The person in charge was confused.
But Ye Qing, when she heard her name, she reflexively looked towards the man in green military uniform. After realizing that he was looking for her, she quickly stepped out and replied:
"Hello, comrade. I am Ye Qing."
The man in green military uniform looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing handed over the certificate for going to the countryside that he had.
The green military uniform took a look at the name and the queue-jumping address, and after confirming that he had found the right person, he saluted Ye Qing respectfully:
"Comrade Ye, the leader asked me to take you to Kaoshantun. Please follow me."
Ye Qing remembered that in the morning, the old comrade specifically asked her about the address of the place where she would go to work in the countryside. She guessed that the old man had already made such an arrangement at that time.
Everyone around stared at her. With so many eyes watching her, Ye Qing felt a little uncomfortable.
Worried that this might not be in accordance with the procedures, she looked at the person in charge of the Youth Office:
"Comrade, can I leave early?"
The person in charge had never seen such a big fuss when he went to the countryside to work as a production team member. He was muttering in his heart, "Oh my goodness, there is even a military vehicle escorting her. Which great leader's daughter came to our corner to experience life?"
Looking at the military officer ID with the green military uniform, he seems to be a regiment commander. Who would dare to offend him?
He nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, after we take the people to the Youth Educated Office in the county, we will also hand them over to the production teams of the various communes according to the addresses you assigned. If you have someone to take them there, that would be great!"
Although the normal process is that you have to go through the acceptance procedures at the county level before you can distribute them to the various communes.
But he also knew that there was only one tractor in the county, which was too few, and it would be very expensive to haul so many educated youth and their luggage back.
If the car broke down again on the way, these people would have to walk back to the county.
Therefore, if Ye Qing could take his luggage and leave early now, he would certainly be more than happy about it. The less people he could carry, the better. As long as the people went to the production team, he could handle the receiving procedures later without any problem.
After getting a positive answer, Ye Qing no longer felt that he was being treated specially, and immediately followed the comrade in green military uniform and left.
She also figured out what it was.
The old comrade arranged this because he was obviously afraid that she would be bullied in the countryside due to her young age, so he found someone to support her!
Although with her strength, if anyone really dares to offend her, it is not certain who will suffer.
But as an outsider in the village, Ye Qing would definitely be more than happy if her background could help her reduce some of her troubles.
Of course, in addition to this, the main reason why Ye Qing accepted this kindness so quickly was because she was scared when she thought about carrying so many people and luggage on that shabby tractor.
There were twenty or thirty people squeezed in that tiny car. She didn't know if there was any room to step. She was afraid that the little food she had eaten at noon would fall out halfway through the journey!
Before anyone could react, Ye Qing opened the door and jumped onto the military vehicle.
The green military vehicle spun around, turned around, and drove away in a cool manner, leaving behind a large number of educated youths with a tailspin of black exhaust smoke.
It was not until everyone had gone far away that the educated youth in the square began to talk and whisper to each other about the background of the female educated youth just now.
Yin Shuang and Li Juan were stunned and had no idea what was going on with Ye Qing.
Isn't she Ye Lijun's daughter? Ye Lijun is just a technical team leader in the silk reeling factory workshop, which is only slightly better than an ordinary workshop worker. How could he mobilize a military vehicle to send Ye Qing to the countryside to join the production team?
So where did Ye Qing get those connections to be able to enjoy such good treatment?
Yin Shuang and Li Juan were really regretting their decision at this moment.
The Ye family seems to be inconspicuous, but they actually have strong connections in the army behind them. No wonder Ye Lijun reported Li Rulan as he said he would, and even knew such a secret matter as Li Rulan's pregnancy in advance, and he was not afraid at all to report it under her real name.
Moreover, the entire Ye family went to support the border areas, saying that they were going to the Gobi Desert to garrison the border. I'm afraid this was just a cover-up. They were actually going there for the title of "Five Good Families", right? !
The two looked at each other, and both felt that they had discovered the truth about the Ye family going to Xinjiang to support the border areas.
But after they figured out the secret behind it, they regretted it more.
If they had known that Ye Qing had such a powerful relative, they would not have started any internal strife. If they had only held on to Ye Qing's golden thigh, they would have followed Ye Qing on the military vehicle and left. Why would they have to squat here in the cold wind? Maybe they could follow Ye Qing in the countryside and have a good life without any worries!
Ye Qing didn't know that just because he was escorted by a military vehicle, Yin Shuang and Li Juan could think of so much.
But she didn't care what Yin Shuang and Li Juan thought. When she arrived at Kaoshantun, she would try her best to stay away from the two "sources of trouble". As long as they didn't bother her, she didn't mind being a member of the crowd who watched the show.
The soldier driving the car had a serious expression on his face the whole time and sat very straight, which made Ye Qing sit up straight unconsciously and he didn't dare to ask a single question along the way.
Anyway, the car drove all the way from Wusongcheng Railway Station to Kaoshantun, and it took nearly three hours to arrive at the destination.
Ye Qing calculated in his mind and felt more and more that the arrangement made by the old comrade was really reliable.
If there was no military vehicle escort, she would have to ride in a tractor with the main force.
At the speed of the tractor in the county, it would probably take two to three hours just to get from Wusong City to Jiaotan County.
After that, the educated youth had to complete the acceptance procedures in the county, then go from the county to the commune, and then from the commune to various production brigades.
Oh my god, after all this traveling, I’m afraid it will take until eight or nine o’clock in the evening before we can successfully reach the production team’s assigned youth work point.
Ye Qing felt exhausted just thinking about it, and he didn't know how those educated youth would feel after receiving such a huge blow just after arriving in Wusong City.
The Great Northern Wilderness is flat and the black soil of the Kanto Plain is fertile. As military vehicles drove past, everywhere they could see was golden.
The end of September is the rice harvest season in Northeast China.
The ripe rices exuded a refreshing scent. Ye Qing closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Smelling the scent of the harvest, he couldn't help but feel like tears were about to well up.
The sky is blue, the water is green, the products are abundant, and everything is full of vitality. You will never see such a magnificent scene as the one before your eyes again in the wasteland of doomsday. It has been ten years. It has been a long time.
When they were almost at Kaoshantun, Ye Qing saw the big mountain behind the village. The mountain meandered for dozens of kilometers, and there was no end in sight if one looked far away.

It’s here, Changbai Mountain, right here, she came to the right place!
The military truck drove into the village, and the soldier asked someone for directions and drove all the way to the home of the production team leader.
It was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon, and the young and strong laborers in the village were all working in the fields. No one was at the captain's house. After the military vehicles drove in, only a group of children surrounded them.
The soldier took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to one of the children, asking him to help find the captain in the field.
When the child saw the candy, his eyes lit up and he immediately turned around and ran to the ground as fast as he could.
The other children looked at the lucky little friend with envy, and then ran after him.
Ye Qing was still hesitating whether to take down her luggage before the captain came back. At this moment, the gate of the captain's yard was opened from the inside.
A girl with a braided hair, a dacron shirt with a knitted sweater on the upper body, and a long skirt underneath came out and asked in a very impatient manner:
