Seeing that these peasants dared to question them, Yang Zhenglin immediately became angry and said, "Are you saying that we suspected the wrong person and shouldn't have come to investigate Ji Xia?"
Ji Changgeng was about to speak up for Ji Xia, but she stopped him, "Uncle Changgeng, don't worry about it. I'll handle this matter."
Ji Changgeng was originally an ordinary citizen. Even though he was the secretary of the production team, his knowledge was limited. When faced with such a situation, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
Ji Xia was planning to go with the two men. If these people were easy to talk to, she could tell some lies to cooperate with them. If they were not, she would naturally be too lazy to cooperate. She would just listen to whoever had the stronger fist.
Xie Youwei instructed Ji Changgeng, "You are the secretary, right? Tell the four people driving the excavators and tractors to drive their equipment and follow us."
Ji Changgeng was stunned. "Comrade, this is a critical stage in water conservancy construction. They all have work to do. These four machines were loaned to us by the army. How can we just take them away?"
"It seems that you want to stand against the people. Did you see clearly that those machines are engraved with foreign words, which are clearly capitalist products? Not only do you not criticize them, you seem to be happy to use them?" Xie Youwei accused angrily.
Ji Xia said coldly, "You and those capitalist countries all live under the same sky, are illuminated by the same sun, bathed in the same moonlight, and breathe the same air. Yet, you're not ashamed of this, but proud of it. Shouldn't you also be singled out for criticism?"
Xie Youwei was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. "Comrade Ji Xia, you are simply stubborn and stubborn. You are actually speaking for capitalism. Tell me quickly, which country sent you as an enemy spy?"
Ji Xia rolled her eyes. Her thoughts had already made the space gather a nest of poisonous snakes. When Xie Youwei and Yang Zhenglin were not paying attention, she released the poisonous snakes from the space. They fell on the two men as if they had fallen from a shack. The four poisonous snakes woke up from hibernation and slithered into their necks.
Xie Youwei and Yang Zhenglin were so shocked by the cool and smooth touch that they jumped up. When they touched it and it was smooth, they realized it was a poisonous snake. They screamed and reached out to grab the snake's neck.
Suddenly, they felt a pain in their necks, followed by a numbness. Their faces were blue and swollen, like pig heads that had been beaten.
Ji Xia shouted, "Help, help! Someone's been bitten by a poisonous snake!"
The Revolutionary Committee drove over and the driver was waiting in the car. Ji Changgeng quickly asked someone to run out and call the driver over. The poisonous snakes had been killed by Ji Xia and thrown aside. There were four in total, one of which was half an inch long and as thick as two thumbs. It was ugly and ferocious, and it was scary to look at.
"Send him to the hospital quickly, hurry up!" Ji Xia urged.
The people in the production team quickly helped to lift the two men into the car. The driver turned around and drove to the county hospital. Fortunately, there was still some serum in stock there. After the two men were injected, they saved their lives.
But this snake was too poisonous. After the two men survived, the nerves on half of Xie Youwei's face were damaged by the toxin, and his eyes and mouth were crooked. Naturally, he could not be reused by the Revolutionary Committee with this appearance, and he lost his job.
Yang Zhenglin was unable to lift half of his arm, which made him seem paralyzed, and he could no longer serve on the Revolutionary Committee.
Qin Xiao rushed over when he learned that people from the Revolutionary Committee were coming. He didn't expect Ji Xia to be so swift. He didn't know where she got her ability from. In the middle of winter, she was able to get Dushe to serve her.
Because they were all poisonous snakes, no normal person would catch so many of them. So although the Revolutionary Committee suspected Ji Xia, they had no evidence. The driver heard from somewhere that the temperature was high because of cooking in the shack, so the poisonous snakes ran out and happened to fall from the roof of the shack and landed on the necks of the two men.
The Revolutionary Committee wanted to take the four machines away, and the news of the snake bite spread quickly throughout the water conservancy construction site.
There was no one who did not curse the people in the Revolutionary Committee, saying that they were just greedy for these four machines, so they found an excuse to bring Ji Xia in for investigation and took the machines away as well, just to prevent them from living a good life.
After hearing what was said by his subordinates, Wang Zhijian, the director of the Revolutionary Committee, was so angry that he smashed a crystal pen holder that someone had just given him as a gift.
"This is simply outrageous. Ji Xia is a nuisance. She is involved in everything that happens. She wants to deny it, but it's not that easy. I think she is an enemy spy. You should quickly find a way to bring her here. I want to interrogate her personally." Wang Zhijian said.
"yes!"
Xie Youfu and Wang Renzhong came out of the director's office, found a corner, lit a cigarette, and smoked while thinking of a solution.
"I heard that the little cousin is quite skilled, so we should bring a few more people with us. That girl is pretty, and I heard from my wife's niece's aunt that she has fair skin and tender flesh. When we get her here, let's play with her first before sending her up?" Xie Youfu smiled lewdly, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.
Xie Youwei is his brother. After he was crippled by a poisonous snake, his sister-in-law came to his house last night and was beaten up by him. However, she is an old woman, just like an old cabbage stalk. It is nice to chew it a few times when there is no food to eat, but it is boring to eat it often.
Wang Renzhong also chuckled. Although he didn't say anything, his agreement was too obvious.
Inside Qin Xiao's car, Ji Xia glanced at his arm in a sling and asked in a formal manner, "How's the wound?"
The setting sun shines through the car window onto Qin Xiao's angular face. From Ji Xia's perspective, she can only see the side profile. The sharp yet smooth lines really overshadow those young movie stars of later generations. His tough guy aura and abstinence are so charming.
Cough... Ji Xia suddenly felt a little hot. It was such a cold day and there was no heater in the car. She actually felt her cheeks were a little hot. Could she be sick?
"Much better. The medicine you gave you is very effective." Qin Xiao looked over, his starry eyes lowered, meeting Ji Xia's eyes. Inexplicable emotions spread in this narrow space. For a moment, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ji Xia turned away and asked, "Does what you said yesterday still count?"
"What?" Qin Xiao asked knowingly, his black eyes flashing with light, his gaze fixed on Ji Xia's profile. Her skin was soft, like a baby's, covered with a layer of fine hair, and her small earlobes were a suspicious red. She was so cute to the extreme.
"It means you are willing to cooperate with me and pretend to be a couple." Ji Xia took a deep breath. He really didn't know what he was embarrassed about. Whenever he encountered something embarrassing, if he was not embarrassed, wouldn't others be embarrassed?
