People who have practiced martial arts have sufficient energy in their philtrum, and their howling is as powerful as the crescent moon, which is like the style of the "Dragon Girl" in the past. It is no exaggeration to say that it can be heard within a radius of ten miles.
People in the 1970s were not afraid of trouble, nor would they turn a blind eye to things that did not concern them. When they heard someone shouting for help, the laborers immediately picked up their carrying poles and dog-beating sticks and came over.
The militia platoon leader immediately gathered five or six people, and they all carried their homemade rifles, held their handles high, and rushed towards the reed bushes with great momentum.
Secretary Liu was so frightened that he forgot to wear shoes and ran to the front barefoot.
The hero's mother and the head of the regiment's grandmother are in danger. If the murderer succeeds and something unexpected happens, how can he explain to Sheng Tunan and the organization? I'm afraid he won't even be able to be the village party secretary.
"Xinyue and Zhizhi, where are you? Is grandma okay?" Secretary Liu shouted anxiously.
"Anyone who dares to commit a crime in the Changhong Brigade is committing a crime against me, Zeng Guangrong. I warn you to lay down your weapons immediately, raise your hands in surrender, and surrender, or I will shoot you."
The militia platoon leader followed closely behind Secretary Liu, shouting until his voice was almost broken.
Zhan Hongyan was so frightened by this scene that she shrank back. She wanted to raise her hand and walk out, but she was so scared that her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up.
At this time, grandma was also awakened, and woke up slowly in Zhan Xinyue's arms. When she saw Zhan Xinyue clearly, the old lady's first reaction was to push her away, "Xinyue, run, it's dangerous here."
Zhan Xinyue's eyes were moist, and she hurriedly comforted her grandmother: "Don't be afraid, it's safe now, Secretary Liu and the militia platoon leader are here, and the murderer is only Zhan Hongyan, grandma, don't be afraid."
Workers from the Changhong Brigade also arrived one after another, many of them holding up torches, lighting up the sky until it was half bright.
Zeng Guangrong was impatient, and when he saw no one coming out, he started shouting, "I'll count to three. If you don't come out, we'll just shoot."
Faced with real guns and live bullets, Zhan Hongyan was so scared that she became speechless. She opened her mouth as wide as she could, but no sound came out.
Zhan Xinyue glanced at her and responded loudly to Zeng Guangrong: "Platoon Leader Zeng, there is only one murderer in there, Zhan Hongyan. My grandmother and I are safe for now. Zhan Hongyan was so scared when she saw you coming that she couldn't move. Don't shoot. Just come in and tie up Zhan Hongyan."
Secretary Liu was relieved to hear that Zhan Xinyue and Grandma Sheng were safe. He patted his chest and said, "Zeng Guangrong, you and I can go in. The rest of us will stay outside. If Zhan Hongyan commits a crime, we must catch them."
"yes."
The militia brought a rope. Zeng Guangrong handed the gun to the militia, took the rope, and went into the reed bush one after another with Secretary Liu.
"Grandma Sheng, let's come in." Secretary Liu raised his hand and moved closer.
"We are here." Zhan Xinyue waved.
Secretary Liu lifted the handle and took a look. His heart nearly sank. Grandma Sheng's forehead was covered with red and blue spots, which were covered with unknown herbs. It looked frighteningly swollen.
I don't know if this herb is poisonous or not. What if I get infected?
Secretary Liu had studied in the city, and he believed in Western medicine more than Chinese medicine. He was afraid that these unsterilized herbal medicines might contain bacteria.
"What's going on? Send Grandma Sheng to the hospital quickly." Secretary Liu's heart, which had finally been put at ease, rose to his throat.
"No, I know herbal medicine and have already stopped the bleeding. She only has an external injury on her head. She doesn't need to go to the hospital."
Zhan Xinyue said calmly: "Besides, grandma was frightened today and can't stand the torture. She needs a good night's rest."
"But," Secretary Liu was still worried.
"Secretary Liu, tie up Zhan Hongyan first." Zhan Xinyue pointed in the direction of Zhan Hongyan.
At this time, Zhan Hongyan curled up into a ball like a quail, trying to hide in the reeds to avoid being seen.
"Okay, okay." Secretary Liu's attention was diverted, and he and Zeng Guangrong quickly tied the man up.
Zhan Xinyue summarized what happened tonight in a concise manner: "It was like this. My grandma was picking wild duck eggs at night and caught Zhan Hongyan and three male educated youth doing an improper deal. The four of them were doing something shameful in the reeds. Zhan Hongyan found out about my grandma, sent the educated youth away, and then hit my grandma on the head with a brick. Later, she wanted to continue to do it in order to kill her and silence her. Fortunately, I arrived in time and stopped her."
At this time, other militiamen and the crowd squeezed in, and when they heard Zhan Xinyue's words, they almost dropped their jaws in shock.
What? Zhan Hongyan and three male educated youths were doing something shameful. When they were caught by Sheng Tunan's grandmother, they wanted to kill her to silence her.
"Zhan Xinyue, I guess I understood correctly. You mean Zhan Hongyan did that with three men?" A burly Chinese man couldn't help but ask.
Zhan Xinyue pointed at Zhan Hongyan who was tied up and said, "You can ask her. I won't frame her."
It seems to be so. Everyone looked at Zhan Hongyan with contempt. They didn't expect that this woman would have sex with three men in one night. How unsatisfied she must be.
Secretary Liu's face turned green. Within the area under his jurisdiction, accidents happened one after another. How could he save face as a secretary? He was afraid that when he went to the commune meeting in the future, their Changhong Brigade would be criticized as a typical example.
"Zeng Guangrong, please arrange for someone to take all three educated youths to the brigade headquarters. I want to interrogate them overnight."
"Okay." Zeng Guangrong ordered four militiamen to arrest the people. The registered permanent residence of the educated youth had been moved to Changhong Brigade, so they dared not resist, let alone run away. In this era where introduction letters were needed, even if they ran away, they would not be able to move forward.
"Where is Zhan Aiguo?" Secretary Liu asked.
"He didn't come out." Someone in the crowd answered.
Secretary Liu's face turned livid, now that Zhan Hongyan had committed a crime, he, as her father, could not escape responsibility.
"Secretary Liu, I'm going home with grandma first." Zhan Xinyue helped grandma up. Zhan Hongyan had already caught her and she definitely couldn't run away. She had to take grandma home to rest.
"Okay." Secretary Liu said in a slow tone, "If grandma is in any condition at night, you can come to me and I will send a tractor to take her to the hospital immediately."
"Okay, thank you Secretary Liu." Zhan Xinyue agreed, squatted down, and prepared to carry her grandmother home.
When Secretary Liu saw it, he immediately pointed to a strong laborer and asked him to carry it.
Zhan Xinyue smiled and refused, "I'm strong, and grandma is very light, I'll carry her. I was going to trouble you all tonight, but now we're fine, everyone should go home and have a rest, we still have to go to work tomorrow."
"Don't be polite. This is what we should do. We are all from the same team. We will not stand by and watch someone die."
The members exchanged a few polite words, and when they saw that Zhan Xinyue had already carried the old man on his back, they went home.
Secretary Liu and Zeng Guangrong took Zhan Hongyan back to the brigade headquarters, preparing to interrogate her and the three educated youths overnight.
Secretary Liu's face was as gloomy as water. He was ready to go to the Public Security Bureau early tomorrow morning after the interrogation to apply for a meeting and bring Huang Jianjun back to the Changhong Brigade to be tried together with Zhan Hongyan and the three educated youths.
Doing this can be considered as keeping family shame within the family. Holding a meeting in Changhong Brigade where everyone is family is better than going to the commune and embarrassing ourselves!
