Chapter 040 Black Jinli Yin Shuang is offline
These words left Ye Qing and Wu Yongbing stunned.
"Red armband, are you here to check on us? Are you kidding me? What is there to check on us?"
Wu Yongbing was totally confused.
Ye Qing was also confused, and the two of them quickly quickened their pace and hurried towards Kaoshantun.
When we got back to the village, all the members were not allowed to go to the fields. They were all gathered at the threshing ground to be questioned with red armbands.
However, these questions about the red armbands also confused a number of members.
"What? Ye Zhiqing colluded with Captain Wu to steal other people's credit? Ye Zhiqing is so powerful, does he really need to steal other people's credit?"
"Whose brain hole wrote this report? Is he crazy? We haven't seen a capable person like Ye Zhiqing in our village for many years. We finally got one, and he made our village famous, but he was reported. Is the person who wrote the report crazy?"
"This is so wicked. Who did Ye Zhiqing offend? She was framed for murder this morning, and the police station just cleared her of all charges. Now another person has come to report her. Is this going to end? The child is only sixteen years old. Is it easy for him to come from the south to join the team in our remote place?"
The villagers of Kaoshantun are really angry this time.
The main thing is that they have been dealing with all this bullshit the whole day. Government officials have been calling them to question them, which has seriously slowed down their progress in collecting taxes, which has made everyone very unhappy.
The red armbands in the town also heard about the death in Kaoshantun today, but they and the police station belong to two different factions. They investigate the murder while they investigate the tip-off. They do not interfere with each other and have no contact with each other, and did not communicate with each other in advance.
Seeing how resentful the villagers were and how resistant they were to their arrival, the red armbands were totally caught off guard.
These people with red armbands thought that everyone in the village was protecting the production team leader, so they targeted the educated youth who had gone to the countryside to work in the production teams, hoping to hear the truth they wanted to hear from these outsiders.
But even though the old educated youth were jealous of Ye Qing's treatment in the village, they could not say anything against him. After all, everyone had seen how Ye Qing had performed during his time in the countryside.
This girl works hard and never slacks off on her work.
When faced with an attack by wild boars, she was really brave enough to fight back, and after killing five wild boars, she was particularly generous and magnanimous, dividing the meat without any reluctance or unhappiness.
That’s fine, but the key point is that in order to save an unrelated person like Li Yunbo, this girl not only used her connections, but was even willing to risk her own reputation and future.
It is said that the operation on Li Yunbo took three hours. When she came out of the operating room, the little girl's wrists were shaking and she was so tired that she fell asleep leaning against the wall.
After she came back, the educated youth never mentioned these things to anyone, nor did she ever boast about how kind and great she was.
But we all have eyes and can see the good and bad character of this girl, so when the red armbands come to investigate, they cannot confuse right and wrong to slander her.
The red armbands questioned a lot of people one by one, and most of them spoke fairly. Only Liu Mei's answers were ambiguous and pointed. However, when the red armbands grasped the key points and continued to ask for details, she began to hesitate and speak incoherently.
Although the red armbands usually act in a simple and rough manner, they are not fools. They can still tell who is telling the truth and who is lying.
It was obvious that Liu Mei was seeking revenge for personal gain and deliberately induced and used them to vent her anger. This made the red armbands very angry. They scolded Liu Mei for talking nonsense on the spot and asked her to write a self-criticism on the spot, otherwise they would arrest her.
Liu Mei never thought that her lie would be exposed, and she was threatened on the spot by the red armband. She was immediately trembling with fear, and she dared not have any bad thoughts anymore.
However, several red armbands still got some useful information from Li Juan. At least they had a general understanding of the situation of catching human traffickers on the train that day.
According to Li Juan's account, after the No. 56 train they were riding arrived at Pingxian Railway Station that day, the human trafficker couple wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap the child, but it was indeed Yin Shuang who first exposed their intention, and only then were they stopped.
If we look at it from this point of view alone, Yin Shuang has indeed made some contributions.
But the reporter from the Jicheng Daily must have consulted the police to learn about the specific situation before conducting the interview. How could he be easily fooled by an educated youth and the head of the production brigade? How could the reporter not notice the clues of such an impersonation?
The red armbands were all a little confused, and felt that this matter was weird and totally illogical.
Fortunately, the two people who were reported came back soon.
The men with red armbands had serious expressions and said they had received a report and wanted to find Ye Qing and Captain Wu to find out what was going on.
After finishing the report, not only Ye Qing, but also Wu Yongbing's face turned completely black, and they couldn't help but curse on the spot:
"Stop playing around, come out and confront me if you have the guts! You've made me so angry, you really think you're a human being, don't you? Don't let me know who you are, or I'll kill you, you bastard!"
Ye Qing didn't even read the report letter, but he immediately figured out who wrote it.
She explained in detail the two main reasons why the reporter from Jicheng came to interview her, and then said to the red armband:
"Originally, there were some things I didn't want to say, but this report was almost like a curse on me, so I couldn't keep the truth about what happened on the train that day secret just to save face."
"In fact, I was sitting by the window on the train that day and I had already noticed something was wrong with the couple."
"But I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn't dare to say anything. I just wanted to get off the car with the two men, and then secretly stab the man with a needle when they weren't paying attention. Not only could I save the child without any effort, but I could also catch the two traffickers."
"But just as I was about to take action, Comrade Yin Shuang, who was not far from me, also discovered the abnormality of the human trafficker."
"She probably didn't know I could handle the two traffickers, and was afraid that I would take advantage of her to make a contribution, so she couldn't wait to start shouting at the top of her lungs."
"You probably know what happened next. The traffickers were frightened, one of them jumped out of the window and ran away, while the other was blocked by the red armbands and took someone hostage."
"I don't dare to boast about how powerful I am, but if I had followed my original plan, the subsequent chaos could have been avoided. However, Comrade Yin Shuang suddenly shouted, forcing me to hide behind a chair and look for another opportunity to strike!"
"So I think that Comrade Yin Shuang's so-called meritorious service is simply nonsense. If she hadn't been holding me back and making things worse, the matter could have been handled much better!"
Ye Qing's latter comment was quite sharp and impolite. While she was speaking, she was also looking for Yin Shuang in the crowd.
But unfortunately, she didn't find her target among the moving heads.
Ye Qing's words made everyone present burst into astonishment.
No one would have thought that behind Ye Qing's achievements, there were so many things hidden. If we really look at it from Ye Qing's perspective, what kind of achievement did Yin Shuangli have? She was just being a troublemaker!
Even the red armbands were speechless after hearing this.
They said that the reporter from Jicheng would not be so stupid that he could not even detect someone impersonating him. It turned out that someone was jealous and could not bear to see others doing well, so he reported it behind their backs!
The red armband came here in vain, and his face suddenly looked unhappy.
They were not stupid. If the contents of the report were found to be true, who would benefit the most after Ye Qing was arrested? Of course, it would be Yin Shuang!
No one would stand up for a stranger for no reason, so you can easily guess who wrote this letter.
"Who is Yin Shuang? Please come out and explain!"
The man with the red armband shouted into the crowd.
But no one spoke up for a while.
This made the red armband and Captain Wu frown.
"Captain, Yin Zhiqing asked for leave this afternoon, saying that she had a severe stomachache. I saw that she did not look well, so I agreed." Scorer Zhao Tieming suddenly explained, remembering something.
At this time, a little girl stood out from the crowd, blushing and hesitating:
"Sister Yin Shuang must be having her period. She had a stomachache last night and ran to the bathroom for a long time before coming back. And I saw her washing clothes this morning. I guess she got her pants dirty."
There is nothing wrong with this statement. In Kaoshantun, most of the households do not have dry toilets. If you have to urinate urgently at night, you can either use a urine bucket or spittoon in the house, or go to a public toilet.
But in a flash, Ye Qing suddenly seemed to have thought of something. Her expression froze, and she couldn't wait to ask the little girl:
"Are you from Uncle Guosheng's family? Are you sure Yin Shuang went out last night? How long was she out? When did she come back?"
Zhao Guosheng's eldest daughter nodded and said, "Yes, I woke up in the middle of the night and didn't see her. She came back about an hour later, but I was too sleepy at the time and didn't know the exact time."
Captain Wu, who was standing by, saw that Ye Qing had a strange expression on his face and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong?"
Ye Qing turned around and said to Captain Wu:
"Uncle, I'm sure this report was written by Yin Shuang! Because the reporter from Jicheng came to our village for an interview only yesterday, it's impossible for other educated youth outside to know the news so quickly!"
"That is to say, this letter of denunciation could only have been delivered to the mailbox of the town's revolutionary committee yesterday or this morning!"
"But Yin Shuang didn't ask for leave this morning, so she could have gone to the town last night!"
"Don't forget, there was a murder on the road to Qingshan Town last night!"
"If Yin Shuang came back from that road, she must have seen Liu Kui being tortured and killed. Why didn't she say anything? Unless -"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Yongbing also reacted, his eyes almost popped out:
"You mean, the person who killed Liu Kui might be——"
Ye Qing didn't say anything, but the expression on her face said it all.
"Hurry to Zhao Guosheng's house, catch the man and interrogate him!" Wu Yongbing was furious and immediately shouted at the villagers.
The red armbands had not expected that investigating a letter of complaint would lead to such a surprising turn of events. After looking at each other, they all realized that this was a big deal and quickly ran to Zhao Guosheng's house.
However, what no one expected was that after arriving at Zhao Guosheng's house, the group came back empty-handed. They searched everywhere but could not find Yin Shuang.
"Oh no, the person ran away!!"
Wu Yongbing's face changed drastically.
If Yin Shuang rested well at Zhao Guosheng's house now, then her suspicion might be cleared.
But she is missing at this moment, which is enough to explain the problem!
Wu Yongbing never expected that there was actually a murderer in the village under his jurisdiction. He was furious and immediately called on all the laborers to search the village inside and outside, trying to find Yin Shuang.
Ye Qing was also dumbfounded.
She really didn't expect that the murderer would be Yin Shuang!
This is a peaceful time. I didn't expect that someone would dare to kill someone and torture the person like that before killing him. Does Yin Shuang know what he is doing?
What Ye Qing found most incredible was that this was the beloved kinki heroine in the novels she had read. What kind of heroine could a murderer be? Could this be a black kinki?
The funniest thing is that Yin Shuang is actually fleeing for fear of crime.
In this era, it is almost impossible to move forward without an introduction. Where did Yin Shuang get the confidence to think that she could escape the charges by running away? If she honestly turned herself in, she might even get a temporary death sentence, but if she ran away, she would be in trouble!
Yin Shuang, who was hiding in the mountains at the moment, didn't know why she had come to this point.
Originally, according to her plan, after Liu Kui's body was found, the police would be taken away by Ye Qing, and then the town's revolutionary committee would come to clear her name, and the credit for arresting the trafficker would return to her.
By then, all the preferential treatment Ye Qing received in the village will become hers!
She was even able to rely on her appearance in the Jicheng Daily to get herself a recommendation spot for the Red Flag Commune's Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University this year, so that she could return to the city to attend university smoothly!
But her beautiful dream was completely shattered when Ye Qing was brought back by Wu Cong's ox cart in the morning.
She didn't understand why the police station was so easy to deal with and let the man go when the evidence that Ye Qing was the murderer was so obvious?
Shouldn't the case be closed and sentenced directly, and Ye Qing be sent to prison, or be exiled to a frontier farm for reform? You know, her father was reported at first, and then he was sent to a labor camp for a crime that had no conclusion at all.
After realizing that things were not going as she had planned, Yin Shuang's bad premonition began to become urgent and strong. Her sixth sense told her that she could not continue to stay in Kaoshantun and wait for death, otherwise she would definitely be exposed and caught.
So, she took a leave of absence in the afternoon and did not go to work. Instead, she ran directly to the mountains and hid in the cave where the wild boar cubs were hidden. She burned her blood-stained clothes from last night that could not be washed clean.
After that, she quietly hid in the back mountain and secretly paid attention to the situation down the mountain.
When she found out that the Revolutionary Committee had come to investigate with a report, she still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that she might be able to turn the tide.
But soon, her last bit of hope was shattered. When everyone in the village began to dig deep into the ground to look for her, she was completely panicked. She knew that if she stayed in Kaoshan Village any longer, she would definitely be doomed!
At this moment, something seemed to be guiding her, telling her to run to another road. As long as she ran down the mountain as quickly as possible along that road, she would have a chance to survive!
This strong intuition had saved her many times before, so Yin Shuang had no doubts this time. She immediately ran down the road as she thought.
However, just as she rushed out of the foot of the mountain along that road, she was hit by an oncoming military truck.
"Bang--"
With a loud bang, Yin Shuang flew out like a rag doll, fell on the gravel road, and rolled several times before stopping.
"What's going on?"
The military truck braked suddenly, and the people in the car rushed forward uncontrollably. Zhao Jinliang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, crashed directly into the center console, causing bleeding on his forehead.
The driver was already panicking. Looking at the woman lying on the ground in front of him, he could not even speak clearly:
"Director, someone hit someone..."
"What?"
Zhao Jinliang covered his forehead with his hands while anxiously pushing open the car door and running down to check the situation.
Qiao Youqing and another young man sitting next to him in the back seat also got out of the car.
About six or seven meters away from the military vehicle, there was a young woman lying on the ground, barely breathing. Her face was scratched by gravel and she was spitting blood crazily from her mouth. She looked seriously injured and it was unknown whether she could be saved.
Zhao Jinliang was so angry that he cursed at the new recruit:
"How did you drive?! Didn't you see someone?"
The new recruit was about to cry, feeling wronged and terrified: "I, I never thought that she would suddenly rush out from the mountain. I didn't have time to react..."
The young man next to him frowned and said, "Director Zhao, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. We need to save people first!"
As he said that, the young man was about to rush over and pick up the woman on the ground.
But as soon as he bent down, he was stopped by Qiao Youqing beside him.
"Don't move! She may have internal injuries after being hit like this. You are not a professional doctor. If you move her rashly, you may cause secondary injuries to her. She may still be able to be saved, but she will die if you move her!"
After saying this, Qiao Youqing looked at the new recruit:
"Turn around quickly and go to Kaoshantun to find Ye Qing and ask her to save the people! She's the female educated youth we sent to the county hospital last time. You know her!"
The new recruit immediately came to his senses, nodded to Qiao Youqing, turned around and drove the military vehicle towards Kaoshantun.
Zhao Jinliang looked at Qiao Youqing with a tense expression:
"You're talking about Ye Qing, the one who asked me to call someone to plead for mercy today, right? Human lives are at stake now. Is this person really trustworthy?"
Qiao Youqing asked back, "He was able to take on the responsibility alone, quickly complete the spleen rupture surgery within three hours, and successfully bring the patient back from the brink of death. If this person is not reliable, where can you find a more reliable one?"
Zhao Jinliang stopped talking immediately.
The main reason is that the situation is urgent now. The injured person looks very seriously injured and he really can't come up with any better solution.
But the young man over there kept his eyes fixed on Yin Shuang lying on the ground. For some reason, he had a strange impulse in his mind, always wanting to go forward and take that woman away as soon as possible.
But he also knew that in the current situation, what Professor Qiao said was indeed right. He did not know first aid measures, and moving the injured person easily would be harmful, not to mention that without a car, he would not be able to take the person away at all.
But as he waited longer, the strange thought in his heart became stronger and stronger. He even felt that if he didn't do that, he might lose the most important person in his life.
"Xia Hangyi, are you okay?"
Seeing the young man standing next to him with sweat on his forehead and his eyes fixed on the injured person lying on the ground, Qiao Youqing couldn't help but feel worried.
This kid had just been transferred from Jicheng to the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute. He had just followed him down to work on the experimental field when something like this happened. Could he have been scared to death?
Xia Hangyi shook his head, pinched his palms to keep himself awake and calm, and even deliberately turned his head to force himself to divert his attention.
But the more he suppressed it, the more restless and crazy he felt inside.
Just when he felt he was about to lose control, a harsh engine sound was heard, and a military truck drew a beautiful arc and stopped in front of the few people.
A thin girl opened the car door first and jumped out, then rushed over here in three or two steps.
Behind her, several people wearing red armbands got off the bus.
When Ye Qing saw Yin Shuang lying on the ground with a bloody mess, he felt extremely complicated.
The driver just ran to the village to find her and said that he had hit a woman on the road. She had a vague premonition that this person might be Yin Shuang who was on the run for fear of crime.
Now seeing the person lying on the ground, Ye Qing's guess was confirmed, but she felt it was absurd.
This is the heroine of Jinlu, and she died so easily. Isn't the ending scene too sloppy?
In fact, there was no need to look any further, because Yin Shuang's pupils were already showing signs of dilation, and with today's medical technology, the possibility of saving her was slim.
But Ye Qing still squatted down and felt her pulse.
Soon, she shook her head slightly at Zhao Jinliang and Qiao Youqing who were standing over there:
"Many vital organs were damaged, lumbar vertebrae were fractured, there was massive bleeding in the abdominal cavity, respiratory failure and shock, the hope of survival is very small. Sorry, there is no need to send him to the hospital for rescue."
Having said that, Ye Qing still took out the silver needle box from his bag and wanted to insert a few silver needles into Yin Shuang's body.
The purpose of the injection was, on the one hand, to relieve her pain, and on the other hand, she wanted to keep her awake for a while longer, preferably until the people from the town police station arrived and investigated the specific details of Liu Kui's case.
But what Ye Qing didn't expect was that when she took out the silver needle to stab, a black ball actually drilled out from Yin Shuang's body and tried to crawl into Ye Qing's body along the silver needle.
Ye Qing was startled, and almost subconsciously summoned his wood-type ability to resist.
The black shadow seemed to have sensed Ye Qing's resistance. After feeling the threat of the supernatural power, it suddenly changed direction and rushed towards a young man a few steps away.
After realizing the intention of the black shadow, Ye Qing's heart sank. Without thinking, she shot out the silver needle in her hand.
The next moment, a sharp and piercing scream came into Ye Qing's ears.
Her flying needle pinned the black shadow to a tree on the side of the road.
The black shadow kept twisting and struggling, and Ye Qing could see clearly that it was actually a black carp. There was an evil nature all over its body, and when Ye Qing looked over, it even stared at her with resentment and viciousness.
But Ye Qing's flying needles carried wood energy, and after the healing power entered the body, the spiritual energy quickly spread throughout the black koi.
Soon, the black color gradually faded away, and the scales of the koi finally revived, and its entire body was shining with golden light.
However, in the blink of an eye, the golden koi was shattered into thousands of golden dusts, which quickly dissipated in the breeze, and no trace of it could be found.
Ye Qing didn't expect that her previous guess would come true again.
There actually is a black koi hidden in Yin Shuang's body!
No wonder this heroine behaves in a very strange way and does things in a crooked way, and has nothing to do with kindness and justice.
But now the black koi carp has been killed by her needle, and Yin Shuang herself has tasted the consequences of doing bad things. It can only be said that it is her own fault.
Ye Qing was not affected by the black brocade carp just now, and still stabbed the silver needles in his hand into Yin Shuang's body.
After making sure that the people could be held off for a while, she signaled to the soldier over there:
"Comrade, I may need to trouble you to drive to the town police station again. The car accident needs to be handled by the police station. In addition, this female comrade may be suspected of murdering a villager from Chousonggou. She must be handed over to the criminal police of the Public Security Bureau for questioning while she is still conscious. These few silver needles I inserted will not last long, so you must do it as soon as possible!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked, and the driver subconsciously looked towards Zhao Jinliang.
Zhao Jinliang immediately waved his hands and shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and go!"
The case was reported this morning, and the criminal police from the town police station dispatched a team to go to the provincial capital to have the physical evidence tested and analyzed. They even wanted to work with the Liu family to see if they could convince the family to perform an autopsy on Liu Kui's body.
Then a military vehicle arrived and said the murderer had been caught, but he was almost dead? ?
He Lianshan rushed to the scene with his men, and what he saw was Yin Shuang lying in a pool of blood.
Ye Qing briefly described the situation and then stepped aside to make room.
Maybe it was because the Black Brocade Carp was no longer controlling her body, or maybe it was because a dying man's words were kind, but in the last ten minutes or so, Yin Shuang no longer made any excuses or concealed anything, and honestly told the whole story of how she killed Liu Kui.
Finally, Yin Shuang looked towards Ye Qing. There was no hatred or jealousy in her eyes. Her past competitiveness had vanished, and only relief remained on her face.
"If...if I could do it again...can I..."
Can I be your real opponent and compete with you fairly? Even if I lose, I can congratulate you openly and regard you as my role model for learning and progress, instead of using shady means and calculations and becoming a stinky rat in the gutter that everyone shouts and beats?
Yin Shuang's eyes gradually dimmed, her pupils dilated, and no longer had any luster.
Ye Qing took a deep breath, stood up, took back the silver needle from the roadside tree, and prepared to go back to the village.
She didn't plan to take care of what happened next. The person was gone. How to give an explanation to the Liu family and how to arrange Yin Shuang's funeral were all things that the Public Security Bureau had to deal with. It had nothing to do with her.
However, just as she was pulling out the silver needle, a young man standing over there called out to her with a complicated look in his eyes:
"Comrade, what happened to that fish just now?"
Ye Qing was stunned when he heard this.
When the black koi fish emerged from Yin Shuang's body and was nailed to the tree by her, it made such a loud noise, but the expressions of Qiao Youqing, Zhao Jinliang, and even those wearing red armbands who were present did not change at all.
This means that they could not see the black koi, nor could they hear the sound it made.
After she awakened her wood-related abilities, her five senses evolved in a special way, allowing her to accurately sense danger and clearly see the changes in the koi.
But now, she discovered that besides herself, there was another person here who could also see the black koi?
And if she remembered correctly, after she stopped the black koi carp from approaching, the thing immediately turned around and prepared to change its target. That new target seemed to be the young man in front of it.
Why did this happen? There were several people within a few steps of the black koi carp. Why did the black koi carp choose this man instead of anyone else? Is there anything special about this man?
This made Ye Qing suddenly feel a little surprised and curious.
"What fish? I don't know what you're talking about."
In this era, people are still quite wary of supernatural things. In addition, Ye Qing herself could not explain the matter of the black koi. In order to avoid trouble, she simply played dumb. It is better to have less trouble than more.
Ye Qing lied with his eyes closed, choking Xia Hangyi on the spot.
He saw it all. The fish came out of the woman's body and was obviously heading towards him. If it weren't for Ye Qing's flying needle, the fish might have flown into his body.
He could not have mistaken that scene.
But Ye Qing killed the fish. When the fish turned into ashes and disappeared from his sight, he felt extremely lost for some reason, as if he had lost some extremely important treasure.
But he was not stupid. The fish appeared strangely and so many people present could not see it. Only he and the young educated youth saw it. Now that others did not admit it, he could not hold them accountable, otherwise he would be accused of being a superstitious person and would be in big trouble.
But Xia Hangyi took a deep look at the young educated youth in front of him and took note of this little girl named Ye Qing.
"Xia Hangyi, let's go!"
The car accident here was handed over to Zhao Jinliang to negotiate and resolve with the Public Security Bureau, and Ye Qing's suspicion of murder was completely cleared. Qiao Youqing was unwilling to waste any more time and urged Xia Hangyi to leave.
Ye Qing had already walked far away, but when he heard Qiao Youqing calling out that name, he couldn't help but pause. He suddenly turned around and stared at the young man standing there with wide eyes.
Xia Hangyi, isn't that the official male protagonist of Yin Shuang in the group's pet Jinli novel?
Ye Qing looked at Yin Shuang who was being carried into the police car in pieces, and then looked at Xia Hangyi who followed Qiao Youqing obediently and left. He was a little confused for a moment.
So, before the heroine Jinli died, she came to find her official male partner? Then this was not only their first meeting, but also their last time in the same frame?
Well, Ye Qing finally understood why the black koi carp wanted to make Xia Hangyi its new target.
As the saying goes, there are two kinds of people who can sleep in the same quilt. The fact that Xia Hangyi can become the official match for the female lead shows that he and Yin Shuang are similar people. The Black Koi must be looking for someone of the same frequency, so Xia Hangyi must be the best choice for the Black Koi.
As for the fact that the black koi fish had tried to drill into her body before, Ye Qing couldn't understand this. Could it be that it was attracted by her supernatural physique?
But her wood-based ability seems to be incompatible with the black koi. This can be seen from the fact that she destroyed it with just a needle. Since it is incompatible, shouldn't the black koi stay away from her at the first opportunity?
Unable to figure it out, Ye Qing stopped thinking about it. Anyway, she had already dealt with the monster and didn't have to worry about it coming back. The most important thing for her next was to put cotton planting on the agenda as soon as possible.
After returning to Kaoshan Village, Ye Qing informed the villagers of Yin Shuang's death in a car accident. Everyone sighed. No one had expected that Yin Shuang would end up like this.
"He died so easily? I wonder if that old lady Liu from Chousonggou can accept the news."
"It's probably enough. Yin Shuang tortured Liu Kui badly. She didn't even leave him a bit of dignity before she died. The Liu family wanted to inflict all the humiliation Liu Kui had suffered on her. But now that she's dead, the Liu family has nowhere to vent their anger."
"Who could have imagined that a city girl would dare to kill someone, and do it so violently? You can't judge a person by his appearance. It seems that we have to be more polite to these city educated youth in the future, otherwise who knows if we will be killed one day."
"That's right. After all, it's all poverty. These kids don't have an easy life either. Who wants to leave their parents and the city to go to the countryside to farm? Aren't they all forced to do so?"
It's strange to say, originally Kaoshantun was extremely displeased and repulsive to the educated youth who went to the countryside, but after Yin Shuang's murder, no matter whether everyone was willing in their hearts or not, at least on the surface their attitude towards those educated youth became much better.
Not long after, the village even organized a special meeting for the educated youth. The brigade cadres took the initiative to ask the educated youth for their opinions and suggestions on Kaoshan Village, and said that if the educated youth had any difficulties, everyone in the village who could help would definitely try to help solve them.
In addition to improving the treatment of the educated youth in the village, Wu Yongbing also made another important decision, which was to record the expenses of Li Yunbo's hospitalization and treatment in the public account of Kaoshan Village and have it reimbursed by the entire production brigade.
Originally, the village had asked Yin Shuang to bear the cost of this money, but after Yin Shuang died, this became a mess. Wu Yongbing felt that he should treat these city kids well, so for the first time he made this decision arbitrarily without asking for anyone's opinion in the village.
It's no wonder that because of the implementation of these things, the atmosphere in the village has become much more harmonious. The educated youth from the city, who originally had no sense of belonging to Kaoshan Village and had mostly been slacking off on their work in the past, suddenly changed their negative attitude and became much more diligent. They can even joke and get along well with the members in the village. This is something Wu Yongbing had never expected.
Of course, the one who had the biggest change in mood was Li Juan.
She never knew that it was Ye Qing who secretly stabbed the trafficker with a needle and made him faint on the train that day, which saved her life from the criminal.
It was not until Yin Shuang wrote the report and listened to Ye Qing's explanation that she learned the hidden story behind it.
This made Li Juan's feelings towards Ye Qing extremely complicated, neither hate nor love.
Before she could digest the fact that Ye Qing saved her life, Yin Shuang became a murderer, and then was hit and killed. This series of shocks completely terrified Li Juan.
She really couldn't believe that Yin Shuang could be so cruel. Thinking about how their family had cooperated with her aunt in acting and secretly bullied Yin Shuang for more than ten years, Li Juan felt terrified when she thought about it carefully.
If nothing happened to Yin Shuang this time, given Yin Shuang's ruthlessness, would she really let her and the Li family go?
This made Li Juan shudder unconsciously. From then on, she completely kept a low profile and never dared to run around and make enemies with others again, for fear that she might accidentally offend a ruthless character and get killed without a word like Liu Kui.
You can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. She and Yin Shuang had been pretend sisters for eighteen years, but she still failed to see Yin Shuang's black-hearted nature, let alone others.
Anyway, after this incident, Li Juan was really scared, and from then on she lived quietly in Kaoshan Village, and she gradually got the hang of farm work. Because she performed well, she was even noticed by several ladies in the village, who tried to test her openly and secretly to see if she wanted to find a partner in the village.
But these are all later stories and have little to do with Ye Qing. After finding out the cause of Liu Kui's death, she felt relieved and went home to start preparing a table of delicious food. She invited Grandma Zou, Auntie Gu and her husband from next door, and Wu Yongbing and his son to come home for a good meal.
After all, these people have been worrying and running around for her today. Ye Qing has owed them a favor, so she can't just not show any appreciation.
Initially, Ye Qing had not planned to invite everyone together. After all, the Gu family and the Wu family had just had a quarrel over their children's broken engagement. Now, if the elders of the two families were to sit at the same table to dine, Ye Qing was worried that Gu Zhenxing and his wife and Wu Yongbing would be uncomfortable.
But what Ye Qing didn't expect was that as soon as she mentioned the dinner to Gu Zhenxing and his wife, the couple were quite generous and immediately reminded Ye Qing not to forget Wu Yongbing and Wu Cong.
Even the parties involved didn't mind. Ye Qing certainly hoped that everyone would be present at once, which would save her a lot of trouble, so she invited Wu Yongbing and his son as well.
It so happened that she was given a pork leg, offal, pork cheek and a few large bones yesterday. The ingredients were all fresh and could be used to make several delicious dishes.
Boil a big pot of milky bone soup with big bones, add some white radish slices and a few wolfberries and it will be very delicious;
Add spices to the pork cheek and blanch it until it is soft, then slice it and mix it with peanuts. It is best eaten with wine.
After the pig's offal is cleaned, some are cut into pieces and stir-fried with spicy sauce, while the rest are smoked and eaten later;
As for the pork leg, she cut off a piece of meat to make a pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew, and she pickled the rest with heavy salt and prepared to hang it under the beams in a cool and ventilated place, intending to make it into ham.
In addition, Ye Qing also fried a few side dishes, steamed a large pot of sweet potato rice, and paired it with a bottle of Panda brand Grade B Daqu that Ye Qing brought from Shanghai. This was already a very high-standard reception banquet in that era.
After the Gu family and Wu Yongbing and his son entered the house, they saw the dishes Ye Qing had placed on the table and could not help but be amazed, saying that Ye Qing was too extravagant.
"You kid, you are so young that you really don't know how expensive food and fuel are. Just eat whatever you want. Why prepare so much? If you eat like this, the little meat you got yesterday won't even be enough for you to eat for a few meals!"
Wu Yongbing sat down and started muttering.
Ye Qing was not bothered by being scolded. He just smiled and asked the guests to sit down and eat.
Wu Yongbing was muttering to himself, but his body was very honest. As soon as he sat down, he took the bottle of wine in his hand and studied it carefully.
Perhaps they had never seen this kind of wine in the Great Northern Wilderness. Wu Yongbing, Wu Cong and Gu Zhenxing at the table all stared at the bottle of Grade B Daqu with burning eyes. It was obvious that they all knew that this was a good wine.
But the three of them just stared at the label on the bottle again and again, and no one actually opened the bottle of wine.
Could Ye Qing not see that these three wanted to drink? She didn't waste any words, grabbed the wine and opened the bottle cap in a few seconds.
"Uncle, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I brought this stuff to the countryside, originally intending to give it to the village leaders, but I didn't expect that you and I would get along so well, and I never found a chance to give it away. Now, today I finally invite you to come to my house for a proper meal. Don't be polite to me. Don't rush back until you finish this wine, okay?"
As he spoke, Ye Qing poured a glass of wine for each of the three people.
A bottle of wine weighs only one kilogram. Ye Qing's pouring technique was so grand that after three glasses of wine, the wine in the bottle was almost empty. The three men at the table were so frightened that their eyes twitched with pain and they kept shouting, "Enough, enough."
Ye Qing never does anything empty-handed. When he says he's inviting everyone to dinner, he really wants to make sure everyone has a good, full meal. He cooks a big pot full of each dish. Seeing that the elders were reluctant to eat only the sweet potato rice and were reluctant to get more vegetables, Ye Qing simply took a spoon and added a big spoonful of meat to everyone's bowl from time to time. In short, the meal was not finished until all the dishes were finished.
So in the end, everyone ate so much that their stomachs were full and they sat paralyzed in their chairs for a long time without moving.
It was under such circumstances that the weasel, which had come to the yard to snatch food from the old hen last time and was driven away by Ye Qing with two sweet potatoes, once again jumped over the fence and into the yard.
Perhaps it knew that Ye Qing was the one who could give it good things, so this time the weasel no longer went to the woodshed to snatch chicken food from the old hen, but jumped straight into the house, following the smell and jumped to Ye Qing in a few seconds.
However, the appearance of these green eyes was enough to scare the other people in the room.
Unlike Ye Qing's calmness, there are still many legends about Wong Tai Sin circulating at the foot of Changbai Mountain. So even if the slogans to break superstition are shouted louder and louder outside, the people in Kaoshantun are still somewhat wary and afraid of Wong Tai Sin. They always feel that as long as this thing appears, it means that something bad will happen.
Miao Cuilan was about to confiscate the family's property and drive them away, but was stopped by Ye Qing.
"No, auntie, it's coming for me!"
Seeing that this weasel was looking at her eagerly, almost bowing to her and begging her to be kind and give him something to eat, what else did Ye Qing not understand?
She had no choice but to go to the cellar again and get the guy two sweet potatoes with some seasonings added to them.
Perhaps because it saw that Ye Qing was quite generous in giving it things, the weasel looked around Ye Qing's house and finally stopped at the pig leg that she hung on the beam.
The guy's nose pricked, and after sniffing the smell, his eyes suddenly rolled, and he called out to Ye Qing twice, picked up two sweet potatoes and walked out, looking back as he walked, motioning Ye Qing to follow him.
Ye Qing was stunned and instinctively wanted to follow him out.
"Don't go. This yellow fox is very strange. If you follow it, you might fall into its trap..." Miao Cuilan suddenly grabbed Ye Qing, her eyes full of vigilance.
I didn't expect Miao Cuilan to say something so weird. Ye Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Auntie, animals' thinking is not as complicated as humans'. This weasel is indeed a little smart, but it has no bad intentions. It must have something to do with it if it lets me follow it. I'll know when I go over and take a look."
Seeing that Ye Qing was determined to follow, Wu Yongbing quickly signaled to Gu Zhenxing:
"Boss, go get the hunting rifle, and we'll follow and take a look!"
Wu Yongbing and Gu Zhenxing were willing to be her bodyguards and guides, which of course Ye Qing wanted more than anything. The three of them followed the weasel into the woods behind the mountain, and after many twists and turns, they soon arrived at a dark cave.
Before I even went in, I heard a familiar grunting sound coming from inside.
