"Yes, I know him. Brother Su Tie helped us cut pig feed!"
"Once I sprained my ankle, and it was my brother Su Tie who carried me home!"
The two children eagerly competed to answer.
Holding back her tears, Su Ruyi handed out two more pieces of candy: "Do you know what happened to him?"
At this moment, the two children looked at each other, but neither of them reached for the candy; instead, they lowered their heads.
The little girl whispered, "My mom told us not to talk about Brother Su Tie."
The little boy looked at Su Tong and said, "Brother, you look just like Brother Su Tie!"
Su Tong squatted down: "I am Su Tie's fifth brother, and he is my younger brother."
The little boy looked at the little girl again, and as if gathering his courage, said, "A few days ago, I heard my dad and my seventh uncle talking when they were drunk. They said that Su Tie was disobedient, so Ding Taisui's brothers dragged him to the back mountain and buried him alive!"
After saying that, he snatched all the candy from Su Ruyi's hand, grabbed the little girl, and ran away.
All four people were frozen in place.
Su Ruyi felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her ears were ringing and large stars were appearing before her eyes.
Su Tong wasn't much better off. He felt like the whole world had become unreal, and he was surrounded by a sharp ringing in his ears, the tone of which sounded exactly like Su Tie's shouts.
Shen Heping and Ji Xuchang stood there, their faces pale, both biting their lips tightly.
A moment later, the four of them exclaimed in unison, "Let's go up the mountain!"
Shen Heping's steps faltered: "I'll call my second uncle and ask him to send some people over!"
"No!" Su Ruyi and Su Tong denied in unison.
Su Ruyi explained, "Go make a call. The phone is in Ding Daguo's office. He'll find out then."
Su Tong also said, "...we'd better go up the mountain quietly."
As he spoke, he pulled out a sharp dagger from his trouser leg!
Looking again at Shen Heping and Ji Xuchang, they had both pulled out daggers from their trouser legs!
Su Ruyi looked at the three identical daggers, all straight blades taken from bayonets.
This thing must have been obtained by Shen Heping.
turn out to be……
Su Ruyi felt a wave of fear wash over her!
Another wave of relief...
What kind of determination did they have to seek justice for Fifth Brother!
Su Ruyi didn't have a dagger. She picked up a thick tree branch from the ground and held it in her hand. It was the branch that the two children had dropped while they were fleeing.
All three looked at her, hesitant to speak.
Su Tong spoke up: "Ruyi, you...you shouldn't go!"
The other two immediately echoed this sentiment.
Su Ruyi wiped away her tears: "If you won't let me go with you, I'll go alone!"
Actually, she really wanted to go by herself. After all, she had a spatial dimension, where she could hide if she encountered danger.
But it's obviously impossible to stop these three from going.
So, she plans to...
"Let's go then!"
Su Tong sighed, "Let's go back and get some dry food before it's lunchtime. If we go up the mountain now, it might be dark by the time we get back, so let's wear warm clothes!"
The four returned to the educated youth settlement, where Li Wang, who was lying on his bed in a daze, came out to greet them: "What do you mean?"
The four shook their heads.
Seeing that they were only packing dry rations and filling water bottles, Li Wang's eyes widened: "You're not going to... go up the mountain, are you?"
Su Tong nodded: "Li Wang, if you know anything else, please tell us."
"You're courting death!" Li Wang exclaimed anxiously, "There are ferocious beasts on the back mountain!"
“We know.” Shen Heping patted his shoulder. “Brother, do you have anything we can use as weapons? Find us one or two? Or a stick will do, we can tie a dagger to it!”
Li Wang hesitated for a moment, then turned around and grabbed a double-barreled shotgun.
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
Li Wang explained, "This is Su Tie's gun. Here, this is the ammunition pouch; there should be 12 rounds left. This gun cannot fire in bursts; you have to manually reset it. Remember that!"
Cycas... has a hunting rifle?
How could a cycad have a hunting rifle?!
Everyone looked at Su Tong.
Su Tong was also completely baffled.
However, he still took the gun.
But Shen Heping snatched it away again: "Do you know how to use it?"
Su Tong shook his head.
Of course he wouldn't. This was the first time in his life he had ever touched a real gun, a heavy double-barreled shotgun at that!
Shen Heping deftly loaded the gun with bullets and pulled the safety pin: "I know how. I've been practicing target shooting with my dad for three years!"
Li Wang turned around and brought over three wooden sticks of different lengths.
The group tied the daggers together.
Su Ruyi threw away the branch she had been holding and took a wooden stick with a dagger tied to it.
Packing the dry rations into a bundle and carrying it on her back, along with her water bottle, Su Ruyi set off with the three of them.
Li Wang shouted from behind, "I'll send word only if you guys don't come back!"
Su Tong turned around: "Tomorrow morning!"
"You're going to spend the night in the back mountains? Are you crazy?"
Li Wang was still rambling on, but his voice had lowered.
The group crossed the small wooden bridge over the Big Butt River and arrived at the foot of the back mountain.
The back mountain is a continuous range of mountains, which are not very high but cover a large area.
Su Ruyi dawdled and walked at the very back.
With a thought, a golden needle appeared in her hand.
Walking in front of her was Shen Heping, who was carrying a wooden gun.
She first stored the gun in her spatial storage.
Shen Heping felt his hand go empty, and just as he was wondering what was going on, he felt a chill on the back of his head and then lost consciousness.
Su Ruyi instantly moved him into the space.
